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.

Is the new teaser clip just like... a general teaser? Or Ep 4 specific?
Because I feel like there's too much happening in that footage (Cross and Omega escaping, Hemlock, Palps, Rex, Cross with Batch on snowy planet etc.) to all be in the same episode.
In which case, how many eps worth of footage do we have?
AND DO THEY HAVE AN ECHO ALLERGY HOW TF IS REX IN THE TEASER AND YET WE DON'T HAVE A SINGLE BIT OF ECHO FOOTAGE???
Anyway I'm very excited for tomorrow

I love Laughing at Tradgedy. It honestly is one of the better pics I have read in a while. I love it when the animatronics are given a more human side but also shown to be capable of inflicting harm. My favorite part of this is how you decided to focus on the perspective of an animatronic. Especially Lolbit, a character who has only appeared in a few games. Honestly it makes me want to write my own fanfic about Lolbit. Of course, I would have to sit down and do it if it would ever get off notepad! In any case, hope we see the next chapter soon. Also, I think it would be cool to see your take on Shadow Freddy and Bonnie alongside Funtime Chica. Those three animatronics have vastly different appearances but are also interesting in their own right.
Thank you for the lovely words! I am glad you’re enjoying it, I love writing the animatronics and having them be sentient but still be the killing machines they were made to be lol
But I wish I could add more things into the fic, with all the animatronics we have in the roster it just would be so bloated lol also have a hard time writing with a very big cast (cuz I want to make sure everyone at least has something to say)
They are interesting and I had to make sacrifices to make sure the plot stayed on the track I had planned. With this being the last chapter, I hope none of you are disappointed on me not adding certain characters/animatronics
