"Listen, Dedue... Perhaps you consider me to be someone special. But I think the same of you. You are irreplaceable. Cherished."
Today is the 4th anniversary of me seeing the Dimidue A support for the first time <3

My roommate is playing Three Houses for the first time and that means that of COURSE I am being possessed by Dimiashe feelings again, especially because they are doing Azure Moon first.
And you know what gets me most about Dimiashe? What drives me insane into the small hours of the morning? It's the fact that, on Silver Snow and Verdant Wind Ashe leaves. He turns his back on Byleth, on his classmates, on the Church, on everything, to do what he thinks is right: to fight for justice for Lonato and Cristophe. He gives up his dream of being a Knight, he gives up his place in the Kingdom, his adopted House, the title that is now his by rights, even the friends that he fought and bleed and learned besides- all to do the right thing.
But on Azure Moon? On Azure Moon Ashe stays. And their is only one thing, one possible reason, for Ashe to remain on the Kingdom's side on Azure Moon, when on all other routes he sides with the Empire.
Dimitri.
Dimitri the golden prince that Ashe blushes and stammers and begs not to treat him with such familiarity. Dimitri who, if all had been as it should have, Ashe would have knelt to after graduation and sworn an oath of fealty and devotion, to serve as liege man, as bow arm, as guardian, as knight, onto his death.
Dimitri who Ashe finds again after five years broken and full of sorrow and pain and lost in the dark. Dimitri, who swears and insists he is a mad man, a monster, a killer, but who all the same Ashe can not turn his back on.
Ashe is driven by an fierce fiery need to do the right thing no matter what. His defining quote is It's never wrong to have virtue, even if means being made an outcast and he follows through, siding with Edelgard on every route except Azure Moon. And why? Because on Azure Moon Ashe looks at Dimitri, scarred and near feral with grief and without Dedue to be his knight any longer, and chooses Dimitri over what is right- over justice for Cristophe, over Lonato's memory, over a future free of the church's tyranny.
Ashe's loyalty and love for the Prince who showed kindness and compassion to a commoner, who brought sweets to a foundling and street thief, is the only thing greater then his sense of justice.

re: dimidue, my writing, & fic
it's important to me that dedue also gets to be weird and traumatized and difficult; it's important to me that dedue gets to be supported by dimitri as much as dimitri gets support from dedue
dedue's PTSD manifests very differently from dimitri's, whose trauma and mental illness are very obvious and externalized, but while it may be less obtrusive, "subtler" internalized mental illness is no less difficult to navigate
dedue gets passive-aggressive; he isolates himself and snaps [in the most plausibly-neutral manner possible] at attempts to draw him out; he's prone to insecurity, reticence, and self-abnegation, and to sink into dissociative apathy; he overextends himself trying to care for others as a coping mechanism that gets worse the worse he's doing; he denies that he's anything but fine even as it's increasingly obvious that he absolutely isn't, & to some extent even believes himself
unlike dimitri, who for all his issues is very self-aware about what he's experiencing and why (at least to the extent that he understands it), dedue is more inclined to denial and avoidance; he's opaque even to himself (dimitri's emotional intelligence complements him, in this respect)
dedue is in some ways even more prone to black and white moral thinking than dimitri -- when he's not actively in the midst of an episode, dimitri is constantly conflicted over the morality of his actions. he knows how he gets when his PTSD triggers, and it terrifies him, and he hates himself for it. he tears himself to pieces over it to the point of self-destruction and immobility. meanwhile dedue isn't nearly so passive or unquestioning in his judgment as some people (felix) accuse him of; he wouldn't accept or enable the murder of civilians, but i do think there's an extent to which he sees dimitri going Ape Shitt on the battlefield and goes "yep :) there he is, the man i love :)" the berserker rage worries him to the extent that it affects dimitri, but it doesn't really concern him in its own right. which on the one hand is often something dimitri needs -- someone to affirm, hey, this part of you comes from a good place, it doesn't frighten me, be kind to it instead of beating it/yourself with a stick -- but on the other hand ... mmmmm it is probably not normal for a person to be so blasé about barehanded dismemberment
dedue is a strong stabilizing & affirming influence on dimitri, but by the same token dimitri is a strong activating & encouraging influence on dedue; they are good for each other

[@leftdestiny-posts] “Perhaps Lee can get you a ring Mister Dimitri Sir. (I'm the best wingman, fact.)”
[Brynn] “(incoherent mumbling)”
[Dimitri] “... As romantic sweet as that platonic gesture may be, Brynn appears distressed at the thought, much to my dismay. Is the thought of marrying me so abhorrent?”
[Dedue, whispering] “I think she's likely thinking about how expensive it would be to gift someone of high status, Your Majesty.”

Omnia Vincit Amor 1/4
Rating: M

Résumé/Summary:
Des fleurs abandonnées. Un luth muet. La guerre est terminée, restent désormais les remords et le vide laissé par les morts. Dedue et la musicienne Maeve se sont rencontrés dans l'armée du Royaume mais le conflit les a séparés. Il a perdu son suzerain, elle ses amies. Tous deux peinent à trouver leur place. Leurs chemins se croisent de nouveau à Garreg Mach. Saisiront-ils cette chance de guérir et d'apprendre à vivre de nouveau ?
Abandoned flowers. A mute lute. The war is over, what remains is remorse and the void left by the dead. Dedue and the musician Maeve met in the Kingdom's army, but the conflict tore them apart. He lost his liege, she lost her friends. Both are struggling to find their place. Their paths cross again at Garreg Mach. Will they seize this chance to heal and learn to live again?
Tumblr media
Maeve se faufila dans les couloirs du monastère. Ses habits de deuil faisaient d’elle une ombre aux yeux des habitants. Certains avaient à son égard une déférence protocolaire car elle était la belle-sœur de l’archevêque. D’autres reculaient devant la muraille de glace qui l’entourait. La magicienne n’avait pas l’énergie d’y remédier, vivre mobilisait déjà toutes ses ressources.
Le bureau de Seteth était, comme à l’habitude, parfaitement ordonné. Elle aurait pu s’y retrouver les yeux fermés, entre les armes entreposées sur leur râtelier, la peinture de dragon, les livres… Sa famille voulait la garder à portée de main. Enid avait refusé de la laisser rejoindre ses troupes. Maeve croyait n’être plus bonne qu’à se battre, rien ne pouvait plus laver ses mains, le danger ne l’effrayait plus. La paix était un mirage, se réadapter à la vie civile était une tâche sisyphéenne. Enid avait cependant vu clair dans son jeu.

Okay, so I have a question regarding the paired endings in FE3H, particularly Mercedes and Annette's.
The FE wikia lists their paired ending as "keeping in touch and then working at an orphanage for the rest of their lives", while another ending card I've seen says they "kept in touch and then retired together to a house they bought"— I'm kinda paraphrasing/condensing the words here but staying true to the idea. The latter is apparently not listed in the wikia.
I know that some paired endings can change depending on the route you take, and I'm assuming that if there's two different endings for them, it probably changes with the story route. Reading through most of the paired endings for Mercedes in particular (let's leave Byleth outta this for now), I've seen that her epilogue cards that mention working at an orphanage seem to take place in Crimson Flower. This leads me to believe that maybe the "retirement" ending for her and Annette takes place in Azure Moon/Verdant Wind/*possibly* Silver Snow, while the "orphanage" ending happens in Crimson Flower/Silver Snow (maybe).
Can anyone confirm this for me?

I’m surprised at the amount of billy asks you get. Does it mean that they’re popular? All i know for sure is that they certainly seem to interest a lot of people. And i agree that they really do have the bones for a fascinating character, but the developers couldn’t be bothered to build something from those bones because 1) sim shenanigans, you can’t have your self insert react strongly if you’re meant to project 100% onto them, but billy does have traits that keep getting mentioned by more than one person plus the few actions they do choose and a backstory, which doesn’t seem like cardboard to me imho, but also 2) earl gray, and what invader added is the most damning detail of them all. Or rather, not a detail, but the anchor that sank billy. I know we’re meant to keep flamey and edelgard separate in our minds because edelgard is marketed as a poor sad waifu you must feel compelled to rescue, but it doesn’t erase her actions or flamey. When we have evidence saying that silver snow is meant to be the primary marketed canon route and so much of the conflicts across two games come down to the actions of one person plus a poorly thought out loptous stand in, all it tells me is that the main character was doomed to fail because the developers could not decide how to write a school mystery + romance of the three kingdoms sympathetic to cao cao so they tried to “fix” that or make it “gray” by turning it into a dating sim to artificially raise the emotional stakes. At least to me it says they didn’t have confidence in billy as a main character at all because so much of it hinges on centering edelgard and the players picking faves out of the rest of the cast, and to make it more insulting the compensation is being able to kill billy in the spin off? I myself don’t really have any big faves in the games because i only play them casually and read your blog, but what i do know is that it makes me hate edelgard for essentially being the gravitational center of the games like a narrative black hole and the developers being too cowardly to really cement her as a villain, and it doesn’t make me like warriors either because it doubles down on trying to explain her position instead of telling a story and because shez fans are extremely annoying and rude online, no surprise that many are also edelgard fans.
I'd say it's a cumulation of everything!
I think the fandom (myself included!) might have been a bit harsh on Billy because of their avatar status, even if I still think Rhea's S-support "aloneb4u" is shit and Seteth not giving any fucks about her and centering his support and convos on "we must find her so she will reveal da truth 2 u" is bonkers and both of those instances can't be only attributed to Hresvelg Grey but to "only the player is important", like the theory i came up with the self-insert scissors.
But yeah, I feel like at one point, Supreme Leader hijacked the "main character" or "character at the center of the plot we want to tell" spot, all gravitas went to "can u kill the student who loves u and bear with the sad uwus for the rest of your run ??" instead of, you know, the greater plot Nopes teased us with a Larva vs Sothis that never happened?
I compared FE16's story to many things earlier on, but the general thing is "why are we talking and following the least interesting parts of Fodlan", Supreme Leader's war of unification is meh, bias or no bias, I would have loved to see a War of Heroes game, or even a game set during the Sothis vs Agartha era (or the two why not) - but here we just have Ashnard lite with an uwu glazing, without even tackling a traditional or underlaying issue from the FE series about coexistence between people and acceptance and whatnot.
(the reason why AM is still, imo, a letdown because it ignores the dragon in the room)
What was Billy supposed to be? Supreme Leader's luf interest? A character that can conceptually fall (if they pick Tru Piss) thus can ascend in other routes? A self insert? The character you're supposed to navigate the world with?
I think Billy being a silent protag was a disservice to them - despite all of its faults, Nopes at least gives more light to Billy and it's refreshing, even if the game will never add 1+1 because Hresvelg Grey.
TBH I think Fodlan has its own share of fans being annoying regardless of the character they support - and while Barney is pretty chatty, ultimately Barney is the deviant art OC with two swords because why not, a sekrit past that is never explained and somehow stronger than everyone who is actually as empty as an oyster shell. We don't know what Barney wants, to be a merc? Yeah, but why? Is it because Barney is searching for somewhere to belong - just like Billy in a way - ?
As for the cardboard mention, it's most likely again in relation to Hresvelg Grey and Fe Fodlan's writing - the games don't spend enough time to build a sense of friendship and camaraderie between the cast to make the "betrayal" hurt or even the "y must we kill people we knew :'( " meaningful, so we only have the "wah sensei why didn't you pick me :(" or the general "i'm sad to fight against you" but like, mate, who are you? Why are you lamenting having to fight against Billy - someone who is opposing/invading your country and everything you stand for - like Billy and 12 months in Rhea's rocky mansion meant so much to you, much more than the 17 years of life (with acquaintances, friends, family, etc) you had?
But it's also in relation to Hresvelg Grey and the silent protag - why no one can give a reason - save for Supreme Leader "lizards BaD + MAGA" - to join this route, heck, not even Billy can say why they joined this route...
In French we have a saying that goes "comparaison n'est pas raison" more or less meaning you can't always compare things bcs context and all, but after TS's protag Serenor - who also has Gary Stu moments! - Billy not saying a thing about Supreme Leader's nonsense, frowning at Dimitri and being silent during Claude's monologues is... annoying.
But when Billy isn't in Fodlan games, they can talk and there's still the forbidden rule of not adding numbers - never ! - but they shine more.

Lmao I don't know if it's a benefit or not but one weird thing for me I think getting into FE3H a couple years after the fact was that like. Three Hopes came out so soon after I finished my original playthrough of Houses (by which I mean uh. Playing Azure Moon, Cindered Shadows, Silver Snow, Crimson Flower, and Verdant Wind consecutively in that order and then Azure Moon again for 'understanding the context and capping off the experience' reasons in a six month, 500-hour marathon) that I just launched right into it, and like. Never solidified my feelings about Houses and the lore in that before I played Hopes (in an Azure Gleam -> Scarlet Blaze -> Golden Wildfire 200-hour marathon).
They were all kinda one experience. My brain internalized the lore of both games as one consistent and cohesive whole without really like, seeing the lore in Hopes as any different than just another route of the same game. Both games already have multiple routes that give you pieces of the lore, it didn't really feel any different to me to be getting more lore in the routes where Byleth didn't kill Shez. So both games ended up having equal weight to me in terms of like, forming an impression of the characters in the games and who they are as people and what's important to them.
Anyway this post brought to you by rereading through Dedue supports and going "oh a bunch of people never saw this support chain with Petra huh. That explains so much."

Just before the timeskip leading into Azure Gleam, Dimitri and co. quickly clean up the matter of the Tragedy of Duscur and set to restoring the people of Duscur to their home. It's only slightly more substantial here than it is in Three Houses, but once AG proper begins Dedue continues his tradition of randomly blindsiding the player with Intensely Gay lines during exploration:
