I understand the cord is hard to strike. He's a very complex character and doing it right is a challenge, so I can see where you're coming from. Like you said, UBW is him finding closure with Emiya Shirou and that he can't change things because of his own self-loathing and selfish desires. He has to let Shirou live knowing that there are limits to what he wants, which is why he asks Rin to take care of him. So I agree with you on that.
I went to the log comm and saw Archer threaded with Kiritsugu before this post, so I think I have a better grasp of where this post came from. Though I'm still not quite sure that Archer would admit to being Shirou so easily, seeing how he weaseled out of admitting his real identity before (telling Rin that he just didn't remember), I do see your reasons for having him admit it all the same because of his canon point.
One last thing that isn't really related to this. I hate to nitpick but
He's been in game for a couple weeks now
I went to Archer's tag and saw your first thread was with Draco on the 15th. Asgard has a 2 OOC = 1 IC day policy, so Archer hasn't even technically been in game for a week ICly wise. I hope this won't come off as rude, because I'm really not trying to be, but I do think you should keep in mind the game's pacing in relation to your character's development and reactions to what happens. Thank you for your time.
Oh, I meant that in relation to ooc time. Sorry for not being clear on that, the holidays have sort of warped my memory in terms of the passage of time. I'm aware of how days pass in Asgard. Just. Apparently not in the real world.
