ive got like 10 paragraphs across two asks hating on chars counterattack in my tumblr inbox and im gonna write a rebuttal and an analysis of my own but im at work right now and so im just thinking about how char is looking at the end of history and its breaking his heart and he wants to kill himself

he thinks he's tried everything! he's watched two revolutionary movements collapse after rotting from the inside, he's watched his protege buy respite from a nightmare of tomorrow at the cost of a fate worse than death, he's been a soldier and a demagogue! none of it has worked! so he wants to die!
