So apparently there is @fe-oc-week going rn and I almost missed it! So I am going to clump as many of the prompts as I can.

Day 1: Introductions

Her name is Elena von Riegan! The illegitimate daughter of Godfrey von Riegan and his mistress Setsuna. She was born in the year of 1153. When she was about six years old, her and her mother left the Leicester Alliance to get to another country, but they end up in Fraldarius territory where they stayed. When the plague hit, it took her mother, leaving her by herself with no family left to speak of. She is a dark flier and her pegasus was a gift from Lambert and was once his first wife's pegasus.

Elena is very energetic, cunning, and stubborn. She loves her pegasus, dancing, singing, purple butterflies, rose acacia flowers. spicy food. Here interests includes learning new tactics, exploring, new training styles, and scheming. She does not like her father, disorganization, heat, and swimming. Elena is one year younger than Glenn and she is 9 years older than Felix.

Day 2: Relationships

She was part of the next generation of Faerghun four which includes Glenn Govan Fraldarius, Colby Frey Galatea, and Miklan Anschutz Gautier.

Glenn: Her childhood friend who she bonded with instantly. Over the course of their lives, they became best friends and did everything with. Eventually the two did fall in love with each other, but never acted on it because of Glenn's betrothal to Ingrid. She is the one that Glenn trusts the most.

Colby: They are very close and are childhood friends. They are pure chaos with each other and have zero braincells when they are around each other. They do care about each other deeply and Colby trust her to the point that he told her that she is a trans woman and wants to go by Astrid instead of Colby.

Miklan: The two used to be so close, like brother and sister, and did everything together. They both trained in axes and war tactics under Matthias and magic under Miklan's mother, Raven. They always competed with each other to see who was best. Elena always won. But with the birth of Sylvain, that's when their relationship broke. They constantly fought and she did everything she could to protect Sylvain from Miklan's terrible behavior. With the way Miklan treated his younger brother, she lost all feelings towards him and felt relief when he left/died.

Holst: They are friendly with each other and get along very well. They usually train with each other or have a little tea party to catch up on life since they don't see each other all that often. Sometimes they are at odds with each other, but usually they come to an agreement.

Balthus: As much as Elena likes Balthus, she gets very frustrated with Balthus. Most of her frustrations come from cleaning up his mess with Holst. She constantly questions their friendship and wonders how is still alive most of the time.

Claude: Elena cares for Claude so very much. Whenever they are around each other, they get into so much trouble and have so much fun. They pull multiple pranks on people, especially on the Gloucester family. They constantly give Judith and Nader heart-attacks. Elena also is very motherly towards Claude.

Godfrey: Elena despises her father and can't stand him. She went no contact with him after her and her mother left Riegan Territory. From what she remembers of him, she didn't feel like he cared for her or her mother. She also felt like she was like she was never meant to exist and that she was a plight on the Riegan name. So she never cared to keep in contact with her father when she got older.

Amelia: Elena always felt loved from Duchess Fraldarius, as she was the daughter Amelia never got. The two of them are very close, and they treat each other with a lot of respect.

Rodrigue: Rodrigue is like a father to Elena. He treats her with such kindness, softness, and gentleness. If she had any opinion on how a father should be, it would be Rodrigue. He trusts her with a lot of information and has her as his advisory, not only for him, but for his wife and his son Glenn.

Lambert and Aisla: Elena is like a daughter that they never had. They are like a third family to her. They care for each other deeply and trust her with so much.

Dimitri: Elena is like an older sister Dimitri and one of his closest friends. She would do anything to protect him, even at the cost of her life and in turn he would do the same. She believes in him and the future he wants to create. She is also very motherly towards him.

Ingrid: Elena and Ingrid don't get along with each other at all. She wanted to befriend her and be nice to her for Glenn's sake and because she would become Ingrid's advisor in the event she becomes the next Duchess Fraldarius. But that always failed with Ingrid's jealousy and hatred towards her. Elena does everything possible to avoid Ingrid.

Day 3: Backstory

Elena was born the only, and illegitimate, daughter of Godfrey von Riegan and his mistress Setsuna. She is also the niece of Tiana von Riegan and cousin to Claude von Riegan.

Setsuna's and Godfrey's relationship was kept in secret, and when Elena was born, her existence was also kept as a secret. Shortly after Godfrey's relationship and daughter found out, Setsuna feared the worst for her and her child, she took Elena and left the Alliance Territory. Setsuna fled towards Duscur in hopes of saving Elena from her family and all the backlash.

On their way to Duscur, they ended up in Fraldarius, only hoping to stay the night. While they were there, Elena befriended Glenn instantly. After that, they stayed there. Setsuna became an advisor to Duchess Fraldarius, Amelia and Elena enjoyed her childhood in Fraldarius.

Because of her mother constantly traveling, Elena was able to befriend Colby/Astrid Frey Galatea and Miklan Anschutz Gautier. She was able to train in axe and tactics under Matthias and reason magic under his wife, Raven. She would also travel with Amelia and Glenn to the Alliance Territory, where Elena was able meet Balthus and Holst.

With her friendship with Glenn and the Fraldarius family, she grew close to the Blaiddyd family. She learned how to hunt, ride a pegasus, and light magic because of the Queen Consort, Seraphina. Once Seraphina passed away, Lambert gifted Elena with his wife's pegasus because he knew no one would be able to ride her and Elena would be able to take care of her.

Growing up with Glenn, she fell in love with him. He was always so kind, so gentle with her, and he gave her all of his trust. They always confided in each other. As they grew, it always pained her that he would end up with Ingrid to the point where she debated leaving the Fraldarius family. She stayed anyways with the family, coming to the conclusion that she was content being with Glenn even if he was going to marry Ingrid.

Much to her delight, Glenn decided that after his travels to Duscur, he would end his betrothal to Ingrid and truly start his relationship with Elena.

Day 4: Tragedy

Elena was cleaning some rooms in Castle Fraldarius for when Lambert, Matthias, and a few other visitors came for some business. While she did that, she found a notebook that belonged to Lambert's first wife. While she read through it, she thought it would be best if he saw it because it had some incriminating info about Rufus and what his plans were for the throne. When she went up to Fhridiad to discuss negotiations with Duscur, she forgot the notebook and Lambert, Glenn, and the small army to wait a couple days. If she wasn't back from Fraldarius with the notebook, to go ahead and leave without her.

When she was on her way back to Fhridiad, she was ambushed by the TWISTED. She fought off as many as she could, but she wasn't able to survive the attack. She ultimately died along with her pegasus. In her last moments, she wished Glenn all the happiness in the world and hopefully he loves someone as much as he loved her. Her body was taken back to Fraldarius Castle where she had a proper funeral. Her pegasus was taken back to Fhridiad to have a proper send off of her own.

Day 5: Joy

In another world, she gets to Fhridiad in time and saves her life and the life of many, including Glenn's and Lambert's. Because of this, Glenn was able to call of his betrothal to Ingrid and they began to date, eventually getting married. They ended up having two children, Akari and Hotaru. They had Akari when Felix went to the academy, right around the time he receives the Aegis shield. Then they had Hotaru during the five year war.

Day 7: Endings

She will only have one canon ending and that will be with Glenn.

"After the war had ended, Elena went back to House Fraldarius with her beloved husband. Both Glenn and Elena rebuilt and restored Fraldarius Territory to its former glory, even making it better than the previous Duke and Duchess. It was often said that the Duke and Duchess spent much time in the kitchen with their children, filling the castle with laughter and celebrations. The recipes that they had, were passed down from generation to generation and became pillars of what food that started a culinary revolution, setting a new trend in the culinary world."

thinking so much about the way how crests and relics shaped everyone

not even in just the obvious ways, either. i mean personality-wise.

the descendants of fraldarius wield the aegis shield. every one of them is a protector — glenn in duscur, rodrigue at gronder, and felix in every moment of the war.

the descendants of gautier wield the lance of ruin. one way or another, they’re all “ruiners” or “destroyers” — matthias with his family, miklan with the villages he and his thieves went through, and sylvain with his relationships.

the descendants of daphnel wield luín. luín of celtchair is what it was likely named after, the lance of irish literature that was dangerous for wielder and foe alike, could light aflame in an instant if not doused. fiery, unpredictable, and unyielding, just as ingrid and judith are.

the descendants of riegan wield failnaught. they cannot afford to fail — duke riegan in the round table conferences, and claude in hiding his identity and changing the minds of those in his care as far as the view of foreigners go.

the descendants of gloucester wield thyrsus. thyrsus was the staff of dionysus, greek god of fruitfulness. both erwin and lorenz take their duties as nobles incredibly seriously — they need to be the best to protect their citizens and be the most fruitful territory in leicester to prove that their territory is doing well.

the descendants of goneril wield freikugel. freikugel got its name from the german romantic opera der freischütz, translating approximately to the freeshooter. in the play, the main character must prove he is a brilliant marksman and makes a deal with the devil to ensure it — the devil will give him 6 magic bullets that are guaranteed to hit any target they’re shot at and 1 bullet controlled by the devil itself. the gonerils are similar — upstanding nobles and citizens, yes, but one is gripped and controlled by sin, as hilda often succumbs to sloth.

the descendants of dominic wield crusher. they crush the things in their way — gustave crushed his family as they were in the way of him repaying his sins, baron dominic crushed the loyalty he had for the kingdom to protect his people, and annette crushed the obstacles in her way of reuniting with her father, both school-wise and not.

the descendants of lamine use the rafail gem. rafail is another spelling of raphael, the name of an archangel meaning “god has healed”. the known ancestors exhibit different aspects of the name — mercedes is a healer, and jeritza was molded to be the best servant he could be for thales, a higher power, just as raphael was created to be gods servant.

the descendants of charon wield thunderbrand. just as the name suggests, the wielders are quick and sharp as thunder, with catherine being sharp, fast, and fiery.

the descendants of blaiddyd wield areadbhar. areadbhar directly translates to “slaughterer” and was a spear in irish mythology that needed to be submerged in water to prevent it from igniting. this is similar to the blaiddyds we’ve seen — their incredible strength, yes, but their personality as well. lambert was set on a cause — relations with duscur — and it “ignited” him, so to speak. it was his prime motivation, and he could not be talked down from it. dimitri’s “ignition” was edelgard — until gronder, he would stop at nothing but getting her head or dying himself. rufus was ignited to take over the kingdom, even if that had just been cornelia’s voice in his head telling him to do so.

they all represent their relics and ancestors, even if you have to think a little bit to see it.

So, I started thinking a bit too hard about this post here, wrote something up, let it sit in the drafts for a day bc I wrote most of it half-awake before work early in the morning while suffering IBS pain, and wanted to check it later, and decided I did in fact need to get this out of my system bc I've spent an unfathomable amount of time thinking about 3H and enjoy writing in-depth analyses for fun, and then I wrote the rest of it half-asleep late at night, still suffering from IBS pain, rip. (I did at least take time to edit at a later time though).

Anyhow the initial post that got me writing was talking about how insane the eastern/northern houses in the AM route were, since Houses Fraldarius and Gautier (and a few other minor houses of the eastern/northern Faerghus territories) were able to stave off the Empire's attempts to conquer them for a whole 5+ years resulting in a deadlock. Like, with all the resources Edelgard has at her disposal (both from the Empire, and from the Agarthans), she cannot squash the last resistance in Faerghus. And then I was like, "I get the joke here, but actually this reminds me of something from The Art of War, and might actually be good writing."

(full analysis continued below bc it's basically a short essay)

I actually think the writing for this specific part of the story is kind of ingenious since it takes historic military strategy into consideration for how the last of the Faerghus lords should have acted to best optimize their chances of survival. Sun Tzu explains how soldiers tend to act in dire situations in The Art of War, Chapter XI:

23. Throw your soldiers into positions whence there is no escape, and they will prefer death to flight. If they will face death, there is nothing they may not achieve. Officers and men alike will put forth their uttermost strength. 24. Soldiers when in desperate straits lose the sense of fear. If there is no place of refuge, they will stand firm. If they are in hostile country, they will show a stubborn front. If there is no help for it, they will fight hard. [...] 58. Place your army in deadly peril, and it will survive; plunge it into desperate straits, and it will come off in safety. 59. For it is precisely when a force has fallen into harm's way that is capable of striking a blow for victory.

(quotes cited from here)

By this logic, we can assume it is because the last of the Faergus lords have everything to lose if they're defeated (their lands, their lives, their peoples' safety, their way of life and culture) and everything to gain if they manage to win, that they fight as if they're already dead, because in a sense they are.

Sylvain actually displays a different, but similar mindset in his monastery dialogue during Chapter 22 of Verdant Wind:

[image transcript: "Sylvain: I mean, I'll still fight like I want to die because that's worked so far, and why change at this late date, right?"]

(for context this is said in reaction to the prospect of fighting against the risen Nemesis's army, you can read the full conversation here)

So we know that the idea of the "my choices are to fight like hell or die, so I might as well fight" mindset is present at least in the Gautier house, and considering the military history of Faerghus it would make sense that all the major houses teach and utilize military strategies. The Art of War also has an entire chapter dedicated to the importance of spies, and it's implied or outright stated several times in both Houses and Hopes that House Gautier has one of the most expansive information networks in all of Fodlan, on par with House Vestra's, Judith's, and Yuri's spy networks.

Therefore it makes a lot of sense actually that even if it's just Houses Fraldarius and Gautier, and a few other minor lords, that they'd be able to hold out, since they were the military powerhouses in Faerghus and also the "best" equipped (decent home resources as compared to Galatea's territory, best spy network of Faerghus, long military history, more military experience, a strong reason to fight to the death, etc.) of the remaining Faerghus noble houses to put up a last-ditch resistance and actually manage to hold out.

Actually I want to expand on my "more military experience" note there. Insofar as I can tell, the Empire actually has the least amount of recent military experience, while Faerghus probably has the most. I say this because it's made very clear that Faerghus, specifically House Gautier, has been fighting off invasions from Sreng for decades, if not several generations of Gautiers (according to the account of Laetitia Gautier fighting off the first invasion from Sreng, from Hopes). Furthermore, the attacks from Sreng are frequent and recurring, enough so that Lambert led a campaign against Sreng. So all the eastern/northern houses of Faerghus have had constant military praxis for decades.

The only other major family to have similar and recent military experiences would be House Goneril, which often repels attacks from Almyra. It was an invasion from Almyra which prompted the formation of the Officers Academy, and yet no such response was ever made to Sreng. In fact, Sreng and Faerghus's struggles with them seem to be entirely unknown to the rest of Fodlan, or at least ignored. Which means that while Holst Goneril gains fame for his might on the battlefield, no one in Fodlan really knows about the strength of the eastern/northern houses of Faerghus.

The only major military conflict the Empire had to deal with in recent events leading up to the start of the game's story was the Dagda and Brigid war, which was resolved within a year's time and resulted in the complete destruction of House Nuvelle, which is far from a clean victory. The only notable person associated with that war is Count Bergliez, making him the foremost expert on military strategy in Edelgard's army. Edelgard herself started a multi-front war in her late teens with literally no actual military experience. (Not to say the training at the Officers Academy was useless, but military education and a handful of field battles are not the same as prolonged warfare).

Sure, Edelgard has the Agarthans, but even if we assume that the same major Agarthans have been cybernetically transferring their souls from one host body into new host bodies when needed, they don't technically have "war" experience since their MO is to act in the shadows, sowing chaos and discord. They don't know how to manage an army (and even if some of the Agarthans, like Thalas, had survived from the initial war with Sothis, and would technically have knowledge of warfare, that war ended with the near-annihilation of the world, so it seems foolish to assume they have any practical knowledge of military strategy).

So, Edelgard starts this multi-front war, and has to divide her resources between the Faerghus front and the Leicester front, and since everyone in Fodlan knows of Holst's battlefield prowess, she decides to have Count Bergliez hold down the Leicester front, leaving Faerghus to be dealt with by the Agarthans through Cornelia. And sure, Cornelia succeeds in winning the western lords to her side and toppling the capital, executing Rufus and attempting to kill Dimitri, but neither she nor the western houses have the same sort of experience with war the way the eastern/northern houses do because of Sreng. And everyone consistently underestimates the strength of the eastern/northern houses, possibly especially Cornelia bc she's an Agarthan and thinks herself above humans to begin with.

So between the fact that Cornelia (and technically Edelgard) didn't start off by taking the eastern/northern houses seriously, and the fact that Houses Fraldarius and Gautier and the surrounding territories were backed into a corner with everything to lose and everything to fight to the death for, it really does make sense that a deadlock would result on that specific battlefront, and not just solely because of the military culture of Faerghus.

(To be entirely fair, Edelgard is more or less doomed to lose the war she started in every timeline except CF, where the key variables are significantly different, because of her lack of military experience, mismanagement of resources and assets, and a general lack of understanding and knowledge of the rest of Fodlan, paired with the fact that her and the Agarthans are at odds from the start, so there's a ton of internal rifts and clashing objectives within her forces. Like, she really wasn't going to win from a strategic perspective. Why the Agarthans never use their orbital missiles to deal with Fraldarius and Gautier is beyond me, and why Edelgard didn't sieze Garreg Mach and use it as a strategic stronghold is also beyond me--on a Watsonian level at least. The writing for the Agarthans is consistently lackluster, so with the writing for eastern/northern Faerghus's military might being logically solid, I'll take my wins where I can).

#not putting this in the main tag bc I don't want to accidentally start up some stupid argument bc this is just a silly half-serious analysis #really I just knew this would bug me if I didn't write it out #anyhow I haven't finished reading The Art of War or anything #but the idea that if someone has everything to lose and nowhere to run they will fight harder and fiercer stuck with me #from a documentary about Sun Tzu? I think? that I saw a million years ago? I have random knowledge of the text in my head from someplace #so I knew what to look for while skimming the text at least #I do plan to read the entire thing one day for the sake of curiosity if nothing else #anyhow yeah #oracle of lore #I should probably start tagging my analysis posts with something huh?

The Wild Swans

Li Qingzhao

translated from the French of Judith Gautier by James Whitall

Before daybreak the breezes whisper

through the trellis at my window;

they interrupt and carry off my dream,

and he of whom I dreamed

vanishes from me.

I climb upstairs

to look from the topmost window,

but with whom? . . .

I remember how I used to stir the fire

with my hairpin of jade

as I am doing now . . .

but the brasier holds nothing but ashes.

I turn to look at the mountain;

there is a thick mist,

a dismal rain,

and I gaze down at the wind-dappled river,

the river that flows past me forever

without bearing away my sorrow.

I have kept the rain of my tears

on the crape of my tunic;

with a gesture I fling these bitter drops

to the wild swans on the river,

that they may be my messengers.

Coucou ! :D Pour le jeu des questions de lecture : 35, 95 et 135 si tu veux ! :D

(PS : bon courage pour demain ! J'espère que ça te changera un peu les idées ! :D)

Saluuut ! Et désolée d'avoir mis autant de temps à répondre !

35) A book featuring the found family trope

Là tout de suite, celui qui me vient en tête est Three views of crystal water de Katherine Govier. L'héroïne est américaine et se retrouve au Japon, recueillie par la maîtresse de son grand-père qui est une plongeuse ama. Elle va trouver sa place et du soutien dans cette communauté. J'avais beaucoup aimé l'ambiance poétique et contemplative, les descriptions de la mer et l'entraide qui entre ces femmes.

95) Your favorite coming of age novel

Le précédent pourrait aussi rentrer dans cette catégorie, mais je disais sans hésiter :

-La licorne noire de Tanith Lee. C'est l'histoire d'une jeune sorcière dans l'ombre de sa mère qui découvre ses pouvoirs, son identité et sa place en ce monde. C'est drôle et entraînant, avec une héroïne débrouillarde.

-Isoline de Judith Gautier, c'est très romanesque, avec une héroïne qui acquiert sa liberté et une très belle fin.

-Vacances dans le Caucase, Maria Iordanidou. On peut dire que l'héroïne se retrouve rapidement projetée dans le monde adulte avec tout ce qu'elle traverse mais elle réussit toujours à s'en sortir et l'histoire garde une tonalité tendre et optimiste.

135) Recommend any book you like!

Allez, on va sortir de la fiction avec Artémise, une femme capitaine de vaisseaux en Grèce antique de Violaine Sébillotte-Cuchet. Artémise I de Carie est de mes personnages historiques préférés. S'il n'y a pas assez d'éléments sur elle pour en faire une biographie, l'autrice la replace dans son contexte et aborde beaucoup d'autres thématiques autour du pouvoir des femmes et de leur place dans la cité. J'ai trouvé ça passionnant !

HOW does Cap NOT see the irony of Marianne saying that just because humans hurt the Nabateans its not okay for the Nabateans to hurt humans through the Church scriptures when Marianne joined Edelgard in attacking the Church because the Church hurt Edelgard and Marianne? The entire dialogue is just Marianne saying cycle of revenge = bad EXCEPT when its her and Edelgard getting back at the church for making them suffer I guess?? Dear lord what a poorly thought out dialogue thanks I hate it.

The same way it doesn't see the hypocrisy in shitting on Seteth and the Church for chasing down the Rhodos Coast priests after they'd retreat while saying nothing at all when Woobiegard chases down Judith after she'd retreated.

Or when the Church and Faerghus are called tyrannical for denying commoner's their right to rise through use of lethal force while saying nothing of Petra putting down a rebellion from her people through the threat of use of lethal force.

Or when Ingrid shits on House Rowe for defecting from Adrestia to the Kingdom and the Kingdom for rewarding House Rowe for that while she defected from the Kingdom to join Adrestia and was rewarded for it.

Or when Woobiegard calls Faerghus intrinsically racist for blaming an entire race for the Kingdom's ruin while she blames the entire Nabatean race for Fodlan's ruin.

Or when Woobiegard shits on Margrave Gautier for prioritizing Crested heirs due to their ability to access Relics and the immense power they hold while colluding with TWS to gain a Relic due to the immense power it held.

Or when Claude is called bad for wanting to conquer Fodlan while Woobiegard's war is literally called a conquest and when she literally calls herself a hegemon.

Or when everyone calls Rhea horrible for her willingness to sacrifice Byleth to revive Sothis while saying nothing about how Woobiegard was willing to sacrifice Byleth and the Black Eagles as a whole because they got in her way.

Or when Catherine is said to be blindly loyal to Rhea because she never questions her orders and that's a bad thing while no one on Woobiegard's side ever questions Woobiegards orders.

Or when Woobiegard says that Crests or nobility don't make anyone better than anyone else and that she views everyone as equals while in reality actually befriending exactly three people - Dorothea, Kronya, and Manuela - who are neither Crested nor nobles and having a total of five people on her side who aren't (when adding Shamir who she never talks to and Ladislava who does nothing). Out of a total of 18 people on her side who are named characters.

Or when Marianne accuses Seteth of being indifferent to her pain and suffering while being indifferent to the pain and suffering she'd directly helped inflict on Raphael (along with who knows how many no-names who were just defending their homelands) maybe two months ago.

Or when Bernadetta laments about the Church trying to destroy her home she's found in Garreg Mach while never mentioning her involvement in destroying the home many of those in the Church had found in Garreg Mach when she helped lay siege to it five years prior.

Or when the Church is painted as this horribly violent institute that kills any who stand up against it while Woobiegard and her side violently kill any who stand against her.

Or when Ingrid says that the Kingdom is bad for dressing up atrocities as the right and/or best thing to do while Woobiegard won't fuckin' shut up about how her killing all these people who are literally just defending themselves from her violent invasion of their lands is the right and/or best thing to do.

Or how Hubert will say he thought lowly of Ingrid because he thought she was just blindly obedient to the Kingdom while literally, genuinely, not even slightly exaggerating two passages later commending Ingrid for following Woobiegard, in his own words that he actually used, verbatim, "despite all logic and sense."

When I say this fic is dripping in hypocrisy, I am saying that it is absolutely drenched in it. It seems like every other second a character will say one thing is terrible and horrible and no good and very bad, and then turn around and do that very thing, without any reflection or conflict or anything. And if there is? Like Claude directly shoving Woobiegards hypocrisy regarding her hanging out with almost exclusively nobles and/or Crested people? Noooo no no no, that was Claude being mean and wrong - he even admitted as much! And then she goes right back to doing exactly that with no acknowledgement of doing so whatsoever.

That's. Some of the best we get, in terms of ever actually giving any acknowledgement of Woobiegard and/or her side's two-faced actions. Which is... any. At all. And then it's outright revoked - but hey! At least it's mentioned! Unlike the majority of these examples that just float about as though we're not supposed to look at them. So Marianne doing that with Seteth is unironically one of the most tame examples of blatant hypocrisy committed by Woobiegard and her side

#ask #anon #exqueuese me princess #o captain my captain #the way no one can keep anything belief system of theirs straight for literally two seconds #like we're supposed to root for these guys? the ones who started a war over beliefs they literally turn their backs on over and over again?#nah man i'm good thanks

I just think it's wild how Three Hopes really did its best work on the Blue Lions and improved some major aspects of them tenfold (such as not making them single trait tropes like tsundere whine whine Felix and can't-say-anything-but-stupid-flirty-shit Sylvain). They fixed every relationship (such as Annette and Gilbert, the Gautier family, Felix and Rodrigue, Dedue and Ingrid, etc) and all of the characters feel like real people and not just lazy tropes with little to no development.

Meanwhile the Deer and and Eagles are mostly worse versions of themselves (Ferdinand is just a regular ol' Edelgard simp and every aspect of his Houses character was completely wiped regarding his views and her; Dorothea is ten times worse and is nothing but an Edelgard simp who would literally canonically rather die than not be by her waifu's side; Caspar will fight and for Thales bc uwu Fr The Empire except that the Empire he loved and fought for is dead and has been for half a year by that point; Claude forget it we all know that story; Raphael is utterly brainless and doesn't have a kind bone in his body when it comes to invading other lands and just wants to punch innocent people who did nothing to him bc it makes him feel stronkers, etc).

Some non-BL characters got improvements (Leonie isn't 100% Jeralt centric, Hilda has more to her character than being lazy and whiny, Hubert is shown not to be a 110% callous jerk outside of anyone except Edelgard and has an easier time forming relationships with other Eagles), but overall most of them were made much worse.

Even non direct BL, GD and BE characters are included in this. Nader is way worse and is a happy violent pillager, Judith is just kinda mean for ??? some reason, Sothis is a crazed bitch for ??? some reason (apparently waking up a year earlier makes you bitchier if you're a goddess??? man I thought it was 220 years earlier haha Tellius joke inserted), and meanwhile Miklan gets a redemption arc enough to the point where his father of all people wants to avenge him.

Highkey feels like they poured all their effort into the Lions and let everything else go up in flames like a dumpster fire while for some reason (but also We Know Why) marketing the game with as much Edelwaifu as they could and making sure she's happy pappy and nobody can dare harm her because that would be an outrage. She can, of course, as ever, harm as much as she wants and it's Okay and Just and The Right Thing To Do.

Hopes really is a wild ride.

#DCB Comments #like nah I love the Lions' story. they did great with it #but then I watched characters I liked a lot like Ferdinand be utterly ripped apart and reduced to simping #ig Sothis just spent too much time with Ashera and they both got cranky together #DCB Three Hopes Stuff
