I've discovered that I have a blood contract!!!! gonk

Who is it that I'm contracted with? I'm not telling and that's for you to guess. ninja

...

... Okay, okay. So it's not a blood contract from Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. It's a free item from the movie The Hobbit, which you can find it in its forum in Gaia. But still, it looks like a good item as a blood contract for Fire Emblem cosplayer avi. ninja

Ehehe. Enough said.

I do think that the Blood Contract itself was not a bad idea. It was simply very poorly executed. It would have been interesting to explore further with Pelleas, unless I'm forgetting plot points.

I already ran away crying. I am now far away where your vague rules of plot advancement can no longer hurt me.

I WILL NOT BE RETCONNED!

But seriously, while of course I am always the first one to get on the "let's all beat RD's story into a mushy pulp" train, what Mallow says is true, and it applies to the vast majority of RD. Good ideas that might have been engaging if they weren't written by a team of howler monkeys. But for me and a lot of people the blood pacts are especially bothersome because not only are they ham-handed vague plot devices obviously put into place to make the plot go and skip over most of the actual character development a situation like that might give to characters who aren't Micaiah, but they also staple blood pacts onto existing characters that make them all the worse for it just to say "oh, look, we totally planned this all along and it definitely isn't a retcon and everyone has one!" No, shut up. This is the same reason why I can't stand it when people call Micaiah a Mary Sue. Because you always just get a laundry list of traits or events without getting to the actual disease: BAD WRITING!
