at some point i will figure out how to write the post-canon, post-empire edelgard autonomy fic of my dreams. it just feels like a very big task and maybe like with playing the dane, i’m simply not old and traumatized enough to manage it yet.
but my vision is thus: it’s set years (realistically, decades) after the end of crimson flower, when everything has gone as right as it can possibly go. fódlan is thriving. the social reforms have taken effect. the nobility system is nearly eliminated, if not entirely so, with titles made merely symbolic. social mobility, welfare, and prosperity are high. there’s an explosion in arts and culture and technology. brigid and duscur have gained independence; relations with sreng and almyra are much improved; heck, maybe they've even figured it out with dagda. in my most idealistic version, leicester and faerghus would eventually be ceded back to become autonomous regions, essentially disbanding the adrestian empire. rule is no longer hereditary, but merit-based. there's a roadmap for the future, and everything is on track—and more than that, people at all points on the power spectrum have already seen it bear fruit. with or without edelgard, it will be pursued. there's buy-in. they believe.
of course, it's not perfect—nothing can be—but edelgard's vision has been fulfilled. the people are empowered. humanity is free. fódlan has healed.
and somehow, she's had enough time to resolve her goals outside of politics, too. those who slither in the dark have been eradicated. edelgard and lysithea's second crests have been successfully removed, allowing them to live if not full lives, then substantially longer ones than they would have with their twin crests intact. who knows—maybe she finally gets around to having that wedding.
point for point, every item listed in edelgard's manifesto has been checked off. the ghosts of her past have been laid to rest. she can finally take off her crown. she can finally pursue the quiet, humble life she's wanted for so long. she can finally breathe.
... but can she?
edelgard is nothing if not driven. her intelligence, vision, and sheer willpower allowed her to plan and execute a revolution against two countries and the most powerful institution on the continent, all while she was still a teenager. as royalty, her life was never truly hers even before she became heir to the adrestian throne, with all the additional baggage of survivor's guilt and the desire for vengeance and her need to ensure nothing that happened to her can ever happen to anyone else, ever again.
so what happens when that drive has no outlet? what happens when someone who has been constantly in motion, constantly working and planning and preparing every spare second of every day since she was fourteen years old, suddenly has to stand still? what happens when someone whose hands have been bound for so long—first literally in the dungeons of enbarr, then by the weight and responsibilities of her crown—is set free?
being edelgard, she would step away from the throne, no matter how hard it was for her to give up control. she's always been focused on the endgame, and she knows that if she doesn't let go, she'll be setting the wrong tone for fódlan's future. she's too devoted to that endgame to cling to power much longer than she needs to, though i could see her making some excuses and trying to iron out just a few more things to buy herself some more time to mentally prepare before she's done for good.
but who would she be then? who is the woman without the crown? what becomes of a machine once it is no longer needed, when it has made itself obsolete? what about when that machine is a person with legs and arms and an innate unwillingness to gather dust on a shelf?
what happens when you get everything you want? what happens when all your wanting has been for others to thrive, and now you have to want only for yourself? how do you discover who you are when you've spent decades being everything for everyone else? how do you find meaning again? how do you find purpose?
after a lifetime of devotion and passion and movement, how do you learn to sit with yourself, and be quiet, and be still?
gosh, i would love to meet her. i would love to pick her brain. but boy, i do not envy the work that girl has to do.
#sterge.rtf#fire emblem#fe3h#edelgard von hresvelg#realistically edelgard is not getting all of this done in her lifetime. but that wouldn't keep her from stepping away anyway#'cause a funny thing happened to edelgard during the crimson flower route: she learned to have faith again.#so even if she couldn't check every box and fix every societal ill she'd still be able to pass the crown to the next ruler.#maybe not without fear. but with confidence. with optimism. with the belief that she's leaving the world better than she found it.#she'd have faith in her people. faith in the future. faith in the groundwork she's laid. faith in the systems she's put in place.#faith that her vision will be carried out with or without her.#and that faith would allow her to eventually let go.#i so love edelgard pulling a george washington and saying nah i'm good on power. peace#though unfortunately i could also see her pulling a teddy roosevelt#and saying nah i'm good on power. peace. wait what are you doing. you're ruining it. you're bungling everything. i can't believe this#and making several (failed and increasingly insane) attempts to get back into politics#who is the taft to edelgard's ted tho. i don't want to do ferdinand the disservice of saying it's him even though i think it's very funny.#it's literally the opposite of his character as taft notoriously sniffed roosevelt's farts for a long time#until he finally pulled his head out of the guy's ass and realized there are other smells. such as the sewer. and garbage.#smells which he pursued quite happily much to ol ted's chagrin#meanwhile ferdinand does not think anything of edelgard's ass except that his is definitely better-looking than hers#(he's wrong on so many levels but you try telling the guy that)#in fact ferdinand has always taken great joy in pointing out all the things that smell better than edelgard does#which gives him an instant up on mr Take-Advice-From-Theodore#all this to say i think ferdinand von aegir would have been a much better president than william howard taft. that's just my opinion.#i'm getting off the rails in these tags idk what's wrong with me#sorry for equating your blorbos to long-dead american politicians everyone. i know this is a cardinal sin#also please don't take this to mean i think positively of washington or roosevelt or taft or whatever.#i hate all dead old white guys who ever held a modicum of power#i just had a hyperfixation on american presidents when i was in grade school and unfortunately now my brain works like this

The original “Four Freedoms” from President Franklin Roosevelt’s 1941 State of the Union speech in his own words...
In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms.
The first is freedom of speech and expression--everywhere in the world.
The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way--everywhere in the world.
The third is freedom from want--which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants-everywhere in the world.
The fourth is freedom from fear--which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor--anywhere in the world.
After FDR’s death, one of the postage stamps issued to honor him reflected that 1941 speech.
Tumblr media
New York Times columnist Jamelle Bouie suggests that the contemporary Republican Party has a warped set of freedoms. (emphasis added)
The Four Freedoms, According to Republicans
There is the freedom to control — to restrict the bodily autonomy of women and repress the existence of anyone who does not conform to traditional gender roles.
There is the freedom to exploit — to allow the owners of business and capital to weaken labor and take advantage of workers as they see fit.
There is the freedom to censor — to suppress ideas that challenge and threaten the ideologies of the ruling class.
And there is the freedom to menace — to carry weapons wherever you please, to brandish them in public, to turn the right of self-defense into a right to threaten other people.
Roosevelt’s four freedoms were the building blocks of a humane society — a social democratic aspiration for egalitarians then and now. These Republican freedoms are also building blocks not of a humane society but of a rigid and hierarchical one, in which you can either dominate or be dominated.
Of course it’s billionaire straight white men who ultimately get to do the dominating – either by themselves or through their pawns.
Republicans are still trying to repeal the reforms of the New Deal and the Fair Deal. Ron DeSantis and his fellow Floridian Sen. Rick Scott would love to wreck Social Security which has been around since the 1930s. 
Republicans are busy trying to rewrite history to avoid offending the snowflake descendants of slave owners.
With Republicans, assault weapons have more rights than school kids.
And those same kids in red states attend schools with heavily redacted libraries and with books which must be approved by fundamentalist and far right censors.
And the age for dangerous jobs in some red states is being lowered so that those poorly educated kids can work at minimum wage jobs for businesses owned by GOP megadonors.
Women in GOP-World are primarily baby-making machines who must serve the patriarchy.
Republicans offer freedom only in an ironic Orwellian way.

DAMAR HAMLIN EMERGES WHOLE, HOW ABOUT US?
The good news, of course, is that doctors have removed Buffalo Bill safety Damar Hamlin‘s breathing tube, he has communicated with his teammates via FaceTime, and though he has a long road to full recovery, he seems to be out of existential danger after suffering a cardiac arrest Monday night in Cincinnati in an important NFL game between his Buffalo Bills and the Cincinnati Bengals. Since that…

You'll have to indulge me, because I just need a moment to talk about one of my very favorite parts of the whole movie:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Baby. In the words of Claire Fraser, "Jesus H Roosevelt Christ." Henry has no idea who's on the other end of the phone, and then its Alex's voice calling him the pet name he loves and you can see his relief visible. His whole being practically lights up at just hearing his voice because Alex is the only one he's needed and the one person he wasn't allowed to talk to. His first concern is to make sure he's ok and once he hears that Alex is (more or less), he answers truthfully when asked the same question. Because he hasn't been ok; he's been alone and scared and miserable. Hounded by the press, berated by his family, and discussed like he's not even in the room and is nothing more than a problem that needs a solution instead of a person whose life has just been blown up. Its his worst nightmare - everything he was afraid of as he swam away from Alex in Texas has happened and its worse than he could have imagined. I have a sinking feeling that no one else has even bothered to ask him if he's ok before Alex.
Tumblr media
He's been stoic and silent and Prince Henry through all of this because its the only way he knows. He'll take what they throw at him and bury it down like he's been doing all his life.
And Alex? He doesn't ask anything past "are you ok" because he doesn't need to know anything other than Henry is not ok. He doesn't ask what's been happening, he doesn't ask if he wants him to come. He decides he's coming and everyone else can fuck right off. And Henry misses him too much, needs him too much to tell him not to come.
Henry running down the stairs, arms outstretched as he reaches for Alex. Alex catching him as he collapses against him and they fall to the stairs together, all the fear and loneliness he's been feeling bleeding out of him. Here he can be Henry Fox - he can break and crack and fall and Alex will literally catch him before he goes to pieces completely. He won't judge him or think less of him; not the man who twice crossed an ocean for him and him alone.
Tumblr media
Alex just holds him. You can see the deep breath Henry takes, like its the first time he's been able to exhale in a week and Alex just holds him tighter, whispering to him with Henry's ring visible on his hand. He's safe and wanted and loved. They will tackle whatever comes next together.
Tumblr media
I personally am a big big fan of comfort moments so I will watch this over and over and over again. Alex is there for him in the same way that he is there for Alex on election night. Its glorious and I fucking love it. Anyhoo, thank you for coming to my TED talk as this movie continues to have me in an absolute stranglehold.

Pilot Ted Herbert goes for a spin over midtown Manhattan in February 1937. He is operating a new type of sport plane dubbed a "flivver" by The New York Times. It houses a V-8 automobile engine. This latest invention was supposed to solve New York's traffic problems, since the engine "could be taken from a Ford and installed in the plane when the owner decides to quit the road and take to the air." Mr. Herbert reportedly flew out of Roosevelt Field. The Empire State Building, then only six years old, can be seen below.

February 6, 1961 - Camelot meets Carrollton: Just two weeks after his brother, John, was inaugurated President of the United States, Edward M. "Ted" Kennedy and his wife, Joan, came to New Orleans. They arrived Sunday Feb. 5 and were met at the airport by Mayor de Lesseps S. "Chep" Morrison. After viewing a carnival parade, Kennedy spoke at a $100-a-plate Kennedy-Johnson victory dinner at the Roosevelt Hotel. Later the couple was presented at the Krewe of Carrollton ball at the Municipal Auditorium, shown here ahead of Mayor Morrison greeting King and Queen Carrollton XV, Earl A. Nobles Sr. and Linda Lee Normand. During the 1960 campaign, Ted had been manager of the Kennedy efforts in the western states. The following year he was elected senator from Massachusetts, taking his brother's seat, which he held until his death August 25 at the age of 77.

Russian archival records obtained for this book show that [Joseph] Stalin colluded with his favorited U.S. candidate in 1948, Henry Wallace, [Franklin D.] Roosevelt’s Soviet-friendly wartime Vice President.
The nature of Wallace’s relationship with the Kremlin has long been a subject of speculation. Soviet intelligence is known to have unimaginatively code-named the Vice President CAPTAIN’S DEPUTY during the war. But no evidence has ever emerged that Wallace was recruited as a Soviet agent. He was, however, we can now discern, a Soviet tool. He sincerely believed that “peaceful coexistence” between the Soviet Union and the United States not only could be achieved, but was essential for world peace. All the while, he looked away from (and naively followed Soviet propaganda denying) the existence of Stalin’s mass forced labor and terror programs. According to [President Harry S.] Truman’s counsel Clark Clifford: “It was never clear to me how aware he [Wallace] was of the uses to which the Communist Party was putting him, but whether he knew it or not, he was following the communist line, serving communist ends, and betraying those Americans who supported him as a serious alternative to the two main candidates [in 1948].” Wallace’s naivete about Soviet communism turned him into an asset for Stalin, if not a recruited Soviet agent.
Wallace decided to run in the 1948 U.S. election as the Progressive Party nominee. In April and May that year, he secretly liaised with Stalin about public policies that would be advantageous for the Soviet Union, coordinating his public statements with the dictator. Wallace secretly met with the youthful Soviet ambassador to the UN in New York, Andrei Gromyko, who dispatched the candidate’s messages to the Soviet foreign minister, [Vyacheslav] Molotov, and to Stalin himself. In his memoirs, Gromyko admitted to meeting Wallace, but downplayed the meeting’s significance, suggesting that after talking with him he considered that Wallace had lost contact with the pulse of American life. Archival documents in Moscow reveal that in fact Stalin took Wallace’s position and candidacy seriously, approving his public positions, and answering questions that the former Vice President put to him, which Stalin annotated in his distinctive pencil. Their alignment produced a published open letter from Wallace to Stalin, vetted by the Soviet leader in advance, to which Stalin then publicly replied, all as agreed between the two men.
Wallace’s Presidential election bid in November 1948 dismally failed; he ended up getting barely 2 percent of the vote, while Truman, to his and the nation’s surprise, won a second term. He defeated New York Governor Thomas E. Dewey in one of the greatest upsets in U.S. Presidential history. Ironically, the staff of Wallace’s failed 1948 campaign included none other than the Soviet atom spy Ted Hall. Following his unsuccessful White House run, Wallace had a crisis of faith in his pro-Stalinism. This may have been caused by his realization that Stalin had used and discarded him after the election. Stalin had gotten what he wanted from Wallace. In 1952, Wallace published an article, “Where I Was Wrong,” describing “Russian Communism” as “utterly evil.” The Kremlin and its intelligence services nevertheless learned an important strategic lesson for later in the Cold War: that it could use the freedoms inherent within American electoral campaigns to influence candidates favorable to the Soviet Union.
