dimitri was always super fucking selfish
that was his problem
he felt he was solely responsible for the duscur incident despite being a kid because he couldn't do anything to stop it
he stopped asking his friends for help because he thought it was all his burden to bear
he didn't put up a fight for royalty because he thought he had to, by himself, pay penance for everything he thought he did wrong
he explicitly states he believes the goddess exists but no one can ever feel her because she's gone
he's ignorant that the goddess is right there with him because he keeps pushing everyone away because he's so goddamn selfish
he ignores his friends for vengeance
he ignores his kingdom for vengeance
he ignores everything else except killing edelgard because of how stupidly selfish he is
it isn't until he sees the pure sacrifice of rodrigue's death and touch's byleth that he realizes how selfish he's been because he keeps pushing everyone else away so he can stay trapped in his own delusions
when he liberates faerghus and is hailed as king he is shocked by it because he hadn't completed his delusional penance, and gets scolded for being so stupid
dimitri's entire story in houses is learning to actually care about others rather than drowning in his own mental sickness
thats why in hopes felix and dedue tell him to shut the fuck up and get out of his bedroom because his "sacrifice" of inaction is bullshit
kings dont carry the kingdom alone
they have knights and consuls and attendants
and his friends want to be those for him, but they cant be if he keeps being a selfish jackass pushing everyone out of his life to keep them "safe"
"get in the giant robot, dimitri"
