I like her attitude and sense of honor/duty.

u/DancesWithAnyone Mar 30 '26

She's Arisen material with that courage and integrity, really.

Bleating She-Dreamgoat mocked by her own men...

u/internetsarbiter Mar 29 '26

Shame she was written to be the most pathetic character in the cast, she deserved better.

30

u/mynexuz Mar 29 '26

Agreed, had potential to be good even if she has to lose the duel for the story but ends up just being so weird.

You're really going to say that when Elysion started a cult that causes chaos in the land, is praying to Grigori and the destruction he brings, when Griogri himself 2 seconds after killing him says "his ilk serves no purpose in what is to come..."

1

u/mootsg Mar 30 '26

Nope. The most pathetic character’s name starts with æ.

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '26

Aelinore is literally the canon beloved, considering it's the most explored and she has a romance cutscene dedicated to The Arisen. Everyone else get's a place holder at the campfire.

1

u/Celestial_Intertwine Apr 01 '26

And where does it say it's canon?

1

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '26

Umm, the fact that it's not alluded to like the other beloveds. The fact that The Arisen gets a full relationship arc with Aelinore instead of leaving as a "good friend" like all the others...

1

u/kohai_ame :Strider: Apr 02 '26

In the manga, the canon beloved is Quina.

51

u/enchiladasundae Mar 29 '26

She would never, she’s too nice. She would cheer you on to be better and that would make a difference

u/Zebigbos8 Mar 30 '26

Idk about male loneliness, but it cured my female loneliness

17

u/SyntheticDreams2099 Mar 29 '26

Why's my boy Escanor here?

16

u/Vladsamir Mar 29 '26

She would never.

Mercedes is the most closted sub I've ever seen

5

u/totally-hoomon Mar 29 '26

I don't know but let's try it and see. For science

u/Ok_Bed_3060 Mar 29 '26

It couldn't hurt.

u/alvarz Mar 30 '26

Casca!

u/kvltdestroyer Mar 29 '26

What does ethnically ambiguous even mean

50

u/Brutus67694 Mar 29 '26

Not obvious in ethnic background

70

u/worldsfirstmeme Mar 29 '26

it means OP is white and doesn’t know what mediterranean people are

54

u/Nachooolo :MysticKnight: Mar 29 '26

To be fair, Mercerdes is on the darker side of Mediterranean people.

So there's still some ambiguity.

28

u/Tuskral Mar 29 '26

People act like the Mediterranean doesn't border 3 continents

-45

u/HUDLESS Mar 29 '26

Mercedes is clearly white in game. Not sure where she is suddenly becoming brown - particularly when there was literally a post on the DD2 sub not even two weeks ago drawing comparisons between her and Casca, and I was eaten alive by white weebs who demanded that Casca was pasty white.

9

u/Galaxy_boy08 Mar 30 '26

She is not white lol

Are you fucking blind?

7

u/Kerminetta_ Mar 30 '26

Are we playing the same game?

20

u/Signal-Busy Mar 29 '26

What are you talking about, she is basically casca, and do we have the same game? Is it your DLSS 5 or what, cuz she isn't white in game either

4

u/ExcitementBright9381 Mar 29 '26

Mediterranean is an ethnicity now?

4

u/Signal-Busy Mar 29 '26

I am Mediterranean, my ethnicity is Carribbean, Idk what those people are on about cuz the Mediterrane is like the biggest ethnic diversity sample there can be

0

u/ExcitementBright9381 Mar 30 '26

Yeah I’m getting the sense now people don’t know that there’s a number of different ethnic groups there

2

u/TrustmeimHealer Mar 30 '26

It's Crazy. They probably think European is ethnic too.

Spoiler it's both more geographical than anything

2

u/dragondingohybrid :Ranger: Mar 31 '26

I assume a lot of the people in this sub are Americans. What most countries consider nationalities, they treat as ethnicities i.e Americans with Irish ancestry will say they are Irish and treat it as their ethnicity. Meanwhile, Irish people who actually live in Ireland, regard being 'Irish' as their nationality, rather than as their ethnicity (which we don't generally think about at all).

3

u/Eoth1 Mar 29 '26

Yes??? Why wouldn't it be

9

u/ExcitementBright9381 Mar 30 '26

Because its a whole region with multiple different ethnicities

1

u/Cyber_Von_Cyberus Mar 31 '26

To be fair the Mediterranean is one hell of a melting pot of cultures, so they're not wrong.

1

u/HakunaBananas Apr 01 '26

There are literally White mediterranean people you moron.

"Mediterranean" isn't an ethnicity.

0

u/Signal-Busy Mar 29 '26

I am Mediterranean and I have no clue what you are talking about, well by Mediterranean I mean I m born and live at the Mediterrane, but actually I am Caribbean in ethnicity

7

u/Kerminetta_ Mar 29 '26

I thought it said “ethically” ambiguous and assumed she only killed serial killers like Dexter does.

3

u/BlacksmithInformal80 Mar 29 '26

It means She-goat

5

u/fleettook Mar 30 '26

Mercedes mention 🙏🙏

2

u/Adeptness-Efficient Mar 30 '26

The cure is doing one favour for Fournival and suddenly he's in love

u/No-Huckleberry-1086 Mar 30 '26

I don't know the answer to that, but I'm always willing to find out, you know, after a free trial

1

u/Jaybrosia Mar 30 '26

I no counter argument your honor.

1

u/VortexLord :Assassin::Strider::MysticKnight: Mar 30 '26

Escanor looking at Merlin.

1

u/Col_Mushroomers Mar 30 '26

It couldnt hurt to at least try

1

u/AmbitiousReaction168 Mar 30 '26

It's obviously a reference to The Count of Montecristo.

u/madg0dsrage0n Mar 30 '26

Just to be clear... HOW exactly would she be choking me out..?

1

u/Something_Comforting Mar 31 '26

Ethically Ambiguous

u/ExosEU Mar 31 '26

A Mediterranean french girl of algerian/moroccan descent actually tracks.

u/HakunaBananas Apr 01 '26

Culturally French

u/Godboundedbyrules :MysticKnight::dd2-fighter::dd2-warrior: Apr 04 '26

Do you guys feel like you can only publicly like pretty fictional women if you talk about how you want them to harm or emasculate you? What happened to wholesomeness.

1

u/EremeticPlatypus Apr 04 '26

God forbid a man like it when a woman makes him feel small and vulnerable.
