comment |
This is a Stock Phrase said by a character upon discovering an important new piece of information about another. There may have been an actual buildup of the first character's suspicions, or it may be a case of hindsight being 20/20. Common variants are "I knew there was something fishy/odd about you" or "I knew there was something about you that I liked/didn't like". When the fandom says this about a character, it's I Knew It! |

Dexter: Later subverted when Doakes discovers the real reason that Dexter acts weird. Also, when Lila discovers that Dexter is the Bay Harbor Butcher and Dexter asks her if she is now afraid of him, she tells him that she was always afraid of him because she could tell how consumed he was by the darkness inside him. And later in season five, one of Dexter's soon-to-be victims says that "from the moment I met you I knew you were f**ked up". |

On the Crimson Flower route of Fire Emblem: Three Houses, if Byleth fights Catherine in the finale, she says that she'd always known they were trouble, and laments having done nothing back then. It's a bit of Insane Troll Logic born of her Blind Obedience to Rhea, plus five years passing since the Two Roads Before You choice. |
