Do I understand correctly that you want to introduce abusive behavior into the AA route by way of a Tava-mahochist who, given the opportunity to leave, chooses not to? I.e. even when you have a choice, you choose suffering. Okay. But AA still didn't show sadism towards Tav until patch 6, AA only did what they wanted him to do. And when events didn't unfold the way he wanted them to, he didn't do anything to cause fear. I still don't see the logic or qualitatively make sense. There's still the kneeling scene on the first night after the ascension, you can't dismiss it. You can interpret it as sex manipulation if you want, but AA was never sadistic towards Tav. Therefore, the faces of fear make no sense and never have. Just realize. You can't put fear into the route without direct consistency.
If Tav has a satisfied face during the kiss, you could interpret that AA manipulated Tav - it would make more sense than fear. This would be your tragic wagering of AA's route.
But you can't ask for AA to be made a sadist this much time after the game's release because he canonically didn't show sadism towards Tav.
No, and I've replied at length before what I do expect. Kindly backtrack in the thread and read that reply. I do not want to be bonked by the mods for repeating myself overly. I will also not engage in the debate if tragic romance is inherently sado-masochistic for the same reason.
