12/8/11 16:42So, here have some Harken. On ff.net and dreamwidth. Weee 8D
Let's see if I can put down some thoughts about Harken.
- He is very obsessed with his knighthood. ALL of his supports are in one way or another about knighthood. I can't remember any other "typical" duty osessed knights having it that bad. They all have at least one person/support where the focus lies somewhere else. Even Harken´s support with Isadora is drenched with it.
- Said obsession seems very unhealthy. Which very probably is connected to the betrayal of his first lord and then his mental breakdown when the Elbert debacle happened.
- Said trauma from those two things seems to have impaired his relationships with other people. Just remember how he reacts to Isadora´s accusations: How will I be punished? (C Support). Understandably, Isadora is irritated because he obviously doesn't understand how she feels and that she is seriously hurt. It sounds like something he would say to his superior when he failed to fulfil an order. I'm not sure if he "gets" feelings.
- He connects better with Marcus and Lowen and Vaida than with Isadora. They focus more on his status as a knight while it is completely personal with Isadora. Yep, feelings are not his thing. Not too sure how it would end with him and Isadora.
- I still ship Isadora/Harken because it's an interesting relationship. Definitely not easy and probably one they really have to work on (especially Harken), but I can see them pull through. I don't think Harken is completely unable to love her; they just have very different ways of loving. Their relationship could easily break because of that.
- Isadora could help him get over his obsession and become healthy. (She doesn't have to, obviously, but it's an interesting "what if?" opportunity)
Additionally:
Of course my mind went there and interpreted "knightly duties" to Elbert in a very... naughty way. Oh lawd.
On another note:
Unrequited Seth -> Fado and Eirika´s ending with Tana (her having a family with someone) will be my default ending for now 8D (That and mayyyyyyyybe some messy Seth/Ephraim on the side because Ephraim starts to look more and more like Fado when he grows older and Ephraim likes some comfort from Seth. Very messy, oh yes)
