*buries face in hands* Oh gad. She doesn't have to try too hard. I just remembered the Touya/Touko/N route of resolving genderswap romances... Wait, wouldn't M!Avatar end up dating his niece? Hm, Cori would probably have some 'But they're not REALLY twins!' excuse in the wings.
Ohhh yeah, I forgot about that. Yeah, Cori could find some way to make both Robins exist without the incest angle.
I'll take it as the Japanese 'I'm hiding my pain behind a smile and being a class-clown to get attention' trope that seems to be favored with some shonen protags. :P
XD
He's like... the fusion of Nino and Jaffar gone VERY VERY right WRONG. 'I'm BOTH an assassin with suppressed emotions and a peppy child prodigy from a background of abuse! Awesome!'
Maybe he's a descendant of theirs through Raigh! XD
Isn't that the POINT of the Avatar? :P (You forgot 'awesome tactical abilities' and 'coming back from the dead'.)
Exactly. XD But Cori would turn it from a fun game into MY HEADCANON IS BETTER THAN YOUR CANON and just...wangst it up. Like crazy.
The only possible subversion is the implication that, if the Avatar HADN'T been accidentally memory-wiped, he/she would have not formed bonds to the same extent and instead become Grima without great resistance. (Yes, I know Lucina is the other divergence, but... it's interesting that Avatar presumably WASN'T amnesiac in the first timeline...)
Yep.
Hehehe... Cori's fics were really less one badficcer and more an entire cracked worldview, weren't they? I'll give her credit for that. Most of the time, it's just 'How would they completely botch, misinterpret, and fail to understand the most basic facets of canon?', but with her, it's 'What does this translate into in Corispeak?'
Exactly. XD It's so easy to imagine ordinary things in Corispeak.
(and holy shit I just realized Vaike and Tharja could be like the bastard lovechild of Ash Hull/Delia and James's parents. @_@ One lethal dumbass and one psycho bitch.)
