IT'S A TROLL, GUYS.  

He admits to being an ex-troll.  He admits to being a trouble maker.  And he comes on with his barrage of bogus facts, his misuse of inflammatory words (Ellen the pedophile?), and his statements that cannot be taken as anything but offensive, and the people who call him out on it can't get a break.  

OTOH, rebuttals to his trolling have stimulated some actual discussion of canon in that Pairing Game thread.

But dammit, if I were a mod I'd have banned his ass by now.  (Greener, not Korean Boron Etc)

This on [livejournal.com profile] emblanon  caught my eye.  Not convinced Ephraim is intended as disinterested in women.  He reacts too strongly to L'Arachel, IMO.  And if you don't think that's a reaction, compare Eph's interactions with L'Arachel to, say, Marth's interactions with any female not named Caeda in any of the Archanea games.  By Fire Emblem standards, "She's rather cute" is practically "I'd hit that."

But I don't see his "support" with L'Arachel as anything terribly deep and meaningful, and I do not for one second believe in his relationship with Tana (and the anons outlined the disconnect in that relationship pretty well).

And Ephraim is kind of... odd, at least as far as his paired endings go.  

Let's recap:

Old history and stuff )

All this has made me reconsider the Tana/Ephraim!fail piece I drafted out a while back.  Maybe I will write that one up after all.
