5. Catherine (+ Dimitri + Christophe)

This time I approached the subject a bit differently. The concept was Catherine before Catherine (except 1st pic). Or Cassandra Rubens Charon. It was fun!

Hello, I'm thinking about Catherine again. I just feel like she feels everything so strongly, like she strikes me as an all-or-nothing type when it comes to literally any relationship or emotion. She loves Rhea, she loves Shamir, she loves Christophe that person she references in her supports with Shamir. She will kill for Rhea, even if that means killing Shamir, or Alois, or even Byleth, but she still claims she doesn't intend to die for Rhea. She has already handed over someone she loved dearly Christophe for execution because of his involvement in a plot against Rhea, but she says that if she had to choose between her life or Rhea's, she would save her own. She has to lie to herself every day that turning over Christophe was the right choice and that she did it for Rhea, but she didn't do it for Rhea, she did it for herself, to clear her own name and ensure her own survival. She clearly wants Ashe to forgive her for it but at the same time stresses how it's his choice and his alone and she can't blame him for hating her or wanting to take revenge, because she truly thinks she would deserve it. And despite all of this, she wants to be loved, even as she insists her family doesn't need her and she doesn't want to return home. Her constant jokes about people trying to woo her are a plea for connection. She is so quick to see Lysithea as a sister. She feels everything so deeply, so intrinsically, that all she can do to handle it is love people and hate people and cut down every enemy in front of her by any means necessary and survive. God I just love her so much.

While I enjoyed the brief crossover headcanon I saw that Clanne and Framme could be Ashe's younger siblings, I don't know if / when I'll ever play Engage, so for now (and maybe for forever) when I need siblings for him, I've made my own set of twins with This Picrew. Meet Olive and Oren.

And a Christophe while I was at it. From This Picrew.

Dimitri/Ashe, arranged marriage OR role swap

[Send me a potential AU and I'll answer with five things from that story!] OH BOY. OKAY. OH BOY. I could do either of these, but arranged marriage aus are my bread and butter so-

In this AU Christophe Gaspard was actually at the Tragedy of Duscar and was a survivor- being one of the knights who helped save Dimtri's life from the attackers. In the aftermath when the purge of Duscar in retaliation was just starting, Cristophe decides to take Dimitri and Dedue back to Castle Gaspard, rather then stay and be complicit. Once there Dimitri reveals to Lord Lonato that it wasn't the Duscari that killed his parents and the court and they need to stop the purge. But while House Duran is old and Lonato is well loved and respect in the Kingdom, he doesn't have the power to oppose Corenlia and Rufus. Christophe also says they shouldn't trust the Archbishop, as he's uncovered suspicions things about her in his time at the Academy.

The answer? Dimitri will declare Lonato his regent in the Kingdom, and to shore up Lonato's legitimacy, Dimitri will be betrothed to one of Lonato's children. Ashe being the closest to him in age and also his friend seems the obvious choice- and Ashe is of course 100% willing to do his duty by his Prince and Lord Father. The declarations are sent out, and the group heads for Fhirdiad, while making sure to stop at every castle, town, and crossroads between Castle Gaspard and the capital, sweeping up nobles and a following of commoner 'pilgrims' who want to do homage to their new King in waiting, and his new Lord Regent. The end result is that Cornelia and Rufus have no choice but yield the palace and accept Lonato as Lord Regent- or else risk setting off riots in the young Prince's name that will pull them down anyways. The purges of Duscur are halted, Rufus is strongly 'encouraged' to marry a rich merchant in that far eastern Alliance and go into comfortable exile on her country estates, and Cornelia quietly relocates to Airanrhod to plot her next move. (Rowe for his part has to pry his jaws open in order to swear the oaths of obeisance to his former bannerman- but he does it with some encouragement from Yuri. Meanwhile Rhea has no choice but to give up on her plans to have Christophe killed using the the Tragedy as cover. It's one thing to make an enemy of a minor Kingdom noble. It's quite another to kill the brother in law of a king, and son of a Lord Regent).

Dimitri and Ashe's relationship is....complicated. Ashe has always dreamed of being a Knight, of honoring his the House that took him and living up to the legends of the old romances that inspired him to give up his life of crime. Ashe would adore being Dimitri's consort as well as his knight, liege man of life and limb- but he can't help but feel he's been forced onto Dimitri as a fiance. Like he is another choice, another duty, Dimitri's station has foisted onto him. Especially given that Ashe is deeply insecure about his place in the peerage anyways- he's a barely literate former street thief adopted out of pity. He has no Crest in his blood, no great deeds or lineage to boast of. Even his adopted House for all it is as old as the Kingdom, has never been powerful. For a thousand years the House of Duran has ridden to war when the Kings of Faerghus called, true, but they have had no great heroes or legends in that time. Part of Ashe almost hopes that when Dimitri comes of age, he will dissolve the engagement- find someone more worthy, more proper, to be his consort.

On Dimitri's side of things, he of course feels like he's the one whose cost Ashe everything- bridling him to a life he couldn't possibly want, to all the dangerous viperish politics of court, to a role that will require him to give up freedom and his choices, and to a heartbroken soulsick man who is everyday wrestling with a darkness, an anger, a violence inside of him. Dimitri wants Ashe to be free- most especially he wants Ashe to be free of him, and yet there is a part of Dimitri that wants to cling to him too, a little possessive, a little selfish. That wants to shield this remaining bright innocent life, and crush the skulls of anyone would lay their fingers on it. The thought that Dimtri could have a more politically advantageous match never even occurs to Dimitri really- in his mind Ashe is perfect for the job of Prince Consort. It's just that he deserves a better king to sit beside him them Dimitri. (The irony that their both wrong about themselves and right about the other is of course lost on them- but not on the rest of the Blue Lions who don't really see a problem with any of this, and treat their joint ascension to the throne as a forgone conclusion for the better of the realm, at least, until war breaks out)

Even after Dimitri goes full Hamlet Ashe refuses to leave his side or abandon his prince. Dimitri furious does everything he can to push Ashe away convinced Ashe is only remaining with him out of the sake of duty, and that the best thing he can do to protect the one thing he has left is to drive Ashe off. But Ashe will not be moved- he refuses to see the monster Dimitri insists he is, refuses to be budged. He loves Dimitri and he will not live him to waste alone in the dark.

What are your thoughts on Nemesis? Was he just a meathead bandit manipulated by Agarthans or do you believe he had his own reasons for murdering Sothis?

Not high, I assure you. Regardless, it’s vital to review how Those Who Slither in the Dark have manipulated others.

They prey on existing delusions of worth and glory, as they did with Ludwig, or they target trusting natures and uncertainties about society, as they did with Christophe. With so many centuries between my time and the original incident, along with extensive rewriting history and censorship, it’s impossible for me to say which is the case for Nemesis. It’s not impossible that he was told just enough information to send him into a vengeful rage against Sothis. That appears to have been their method in convincing Dimitri that Her Majesty was behind the tragic events that claimed the lives of his family and close companions.

Truthfully, I am more inclined to believe they exploited a personal drive for power and greed in Nemesis. It is far more likely and their preferred sort of ally as well. A corrupt individual does not require as many resources to control, after all, and they are very easily used as a scapegoat if necessary.

Simply look at what became of Ludwig if you wish to see how effortless it can be to clean up their loose ends. Nemesis was most likely the same in nature. But to truly know, we would have to ask those present, and it would merely be their word. A source we know well to be entirely unreliable.

Ashe and Lonato as adults are about how differently people can grieve over the loss of family and how two people found each other in this life. What could be seen as replacement family on the outside is so much more complex on the inside. Christoph is gone, leaving Lonato a lonely lord with only the staff of Gaspard Manor to keep him company

What Lonato thinks will heal his cracks actually doesn't fix the cracks he has from the loss of his only living family, but instead emboldens those cracks and allows them to not take away from that piece of pottery, but let that pottery be able to exist without the need to feel like it needs to be crackless to exist as a pot

Ashe lost his parents far too young and he needed help for not just him but his own siblings as well. Ashe grew to know of Christoph through Lonato and saw him as the brother he never got to know. Ashe mourns Christoph's loss but most of all mourns the loss of his own parents. Lonato could have easily scrubbed the existence of Ashe's birth parents from his life with only the knowledge of where he came from but Lonato REFUSED to do that, he allowed Ashe to finally have a safe place to mourn and to heal because Ashe never got to see the funeral of his parents, he never had a chance to process it all because of how young he was and how uncertain his emotions were

Lonato never pretends to be Ashe's new parent, he only becomes Ashe's true parent when Ashe is ready to take that step, once he's processed the loss of the family he had to leave behind and be able to embrace the family that's right in front of him, should he be ready for it

What they both thought was going to fill the holes in their souls turned into something so much better honestly

Sorry I know this is kinda random but it's so weird how the fandom lists off Christophe getting framed for being part of the Tragedy as SUCH a huge bad thing the Church did when what he was ACTUALLY guilty of was trying to MURDER RHEA? Which would have still gotten him executed? The only reason he was pinned for the Tragedy was because having the public know that the archbishop was ALSO targeted for assassination around the same time Faerghus' king was SUCCESSFULLY assassinated would have brought on so much chaos, which... yeah? He was by no means an innocent guy.

Like the fandom acts like if Christophe wasn't framed for taking part in the successful assassination of Lambert, nothing would have happened to him at all... despite him ACTUALLY taking part in the ATTEMPTED assassination of Rhea... what sense does that make?

But then again the Church being the only actual morally gray thing in this game is what ultimately makes it hated in this fandom so I guess no surprise there...

its so funny whenever someone is like "yeah but christophe was executed for a crime he didnt commit" THE ACTUAL CRIME HE COMMITTED WOULD STILL GET HIM THE DEATH SENTENCE FFS

the decision isnt even that hard to understand. the kingdom iwas n chaos because king was murdered. imagine telling them their beloved archbishop was targeted by christophe. good god image people losing their shit against gaspard

Siblings in Faerghus Nobility, why Dimitri stands out as an only child and how Lambert and Rufus's siblinghood could have played into it:

Among the Blue Lions, a good majority of the cast have, or have had siblings at some point in their lives. This includes Felix, Sylvain, Ingrid, Mercedes, Ashe and Dedue.

However, for the purpose of this discussion we will go over all the Blue Lions characters and explore their sibling relations, and go over some that may be more unique.

Subsequently, we will also discuss Dimitri's status as an only child - the stakes it plays in his position as heir, and how the relationship between Rufus and Lambert may have played into his sibling-less life. (For purposes of timescale consistencies, we will not consider Edelgard since she was only there for a year.)

Felix and Sylvain are simple - they have both had one older sibling each, who canonically predecease both them, and their fathers. Both older siblings for one reason or another were either not intended to inherit, or were deceased before inheritance.

Ingrid has two older brothers. This is presumably a matter of trying for a crested heir, as it was what House Galatea determined its priority at the time, succeeding with Ingrid.

Now, the exceptions:

Mercedes has a sibling in Emile (Jeritza), but while she was formerly Imperial nobility, she is a commoner in Faerghus, and is exempt from many of the noble house priorities such as inheritance, social duty and having a safety net to the seat of the House.

Dedue had a younger sister who was killed in the retaliation from the Kingdom after the assassination of King Lambert. However, he is considered an exception as he is of Duscur, and would not have been expected to conform to the same cultural functions of siblinghood.

Ashe is a doubly special case. He has his younger birth siblings - fellow commoners, and had Christophe - occupying the very lowest rung of nobility due to Lonato's lordship granted for service to Rufus. Christophe predeceasing Lonato and Ashe, and Lonato's own subsequent act of treason would find his lordship posthumously revoked - similar to the Viscounty of Kleiman, and returned to the direct control of House Blaiddyd. As a result, Ashe would not inherit Castle Gaspard. His siblinghood with his birth siblings hence remains exempt from noble activity and culture.

Annette. Annette is a very special case. She is an only child. However, she is the niece of Baron Dominic. She does not belong to the main branch of the family. When one belongs to a side branch of the family, it is rare to expect that they will inherit - in this case, her cousin, only namedropped in Three Hopes as Simon, would be inheriting the title of Baron Dominic. Without the expectation of inheriting, many of the other duties that come with being the governing house of a territory also are lightened, or completely rendered irrelevant. There is no need for a spare heir, if you have no need for an heir to begin with, for example. Especially given that Annette would have been only 12 or 13 at the time that Gustave disappears, it would have been much more difficult on Gustave's conscience to simply leave if there was a second, much younger child that would not ever be able to understand his position.

So, establishing that the nobles of primary lineages in particular had the highest stakes in what a functional siblinghood served, what does this say about Dimitri? Dimitri, the only child. The heir, without any spare should misfortune fall upon him.

It is without question that Lambert could have sired a second child at any point if he wanted to. It could have been with Patricia if he wanted. It could have been with any woman, even. Hence, the distinction here is that he must have in some capacity decided against it. Dimitri has a crest, and that in itself is fortunate, because it means that he already makes for an heir who can wield Areadbhar. He is in line for the throne. All is well. The stake here, should Lambert choose to have a second child as a spare to the throne, is that the two would grow to resent the other, especially if one is without crest or worse, the younger would have a major crest. (On another tangent, maybe he simply just could never love anyone the way he loved his first wife. But that's another topic.)

The stakes of House Blaiddyd is doubly high - it must not only consider the priorities of its house and direct territory, but the entirety of Faerghus. Lambert is not a stranger to such resentment himself - Rufus resents him for his crest, because Rufus was passed over for the throne due to lacking a crest. Rufus could never be king, simply because he lacked the blood signature he couldn't control, while his younger brother won the blood lottery.

Was it a stake worth passing on to the next generation, if the heir already did possess a crest? Or was it worth protecting that heir with everything they had, that even if Lambert fell, he would know that he had Gustave, Rodrigue, and if it came to it, even Matthias, to guide and protect Dimitri until he came of age to become king, and even after? It's very like Lambert, and his many progressive ideas and schemes. There was risk, and there was reward, but on this occasion, that risk did pay off. But would this work on a larger scale in Faerghus? Perhaps not.

Three Hopes told us time and again that the way each noble house of Faerghus inherits is largely independent, picked by themselves based on what they believed was in their best interest for their people at the time. That much is true, and the reason so many of them have multiple children each generation is because it's something that has worked for them, whether it is up in the northeast where the stakes are high for the value of a relic and that trying again and again until a child bore a crest could pay dividends in the long haul, or in the more southerly territories that benefitted from having options to pick for aptitudes and exceptional abilities that would draw glory and award for their House, if not dowry and lineage.

To conclude, I think that it's actually quite apt to say that Faerghus children are really meant to be raised like a bunch of lion cubs. You don't just have a single cub. You need a whole pile of them, from different lions and lionesses, and raise them together. That's what Faerghus kids are made of.

look. i love Glenn, but Christophe Gaspard doesn't get enough attention.

Christophe, the guy who ALSO regaled his little brother with stories of chivalry. Christophe, whose little brother ALSO idolized him as a great knight. Christophe, who ALSO died because of the Tragedy of Duscur. Christophe, whose father ALSO hurt his second son in his grief over losing the first. Christophe, who died because his dear friend* betrayed him in exchange for her own life.

Christophe, who ALSO haunts the narrative, from the very beginning when his father questions the authority of the central church because of his death. He exists as the perfect example of the depth of instability in the kingdom, the extent of the church's power, the things people will do for their beliefs, and just how easy it is to take hold of someone in utter despair and manipulate those beliefs to one's own ends

So anyway. Christophe Gaspard my beloved

#*best friend? lover even? depends on how you read Catherine's supports. i think best friends at the very minimum #christophe gaspard #fe3h #fe3h character analysis

WIP Wednesday

Thank you Razzledazzle for the tag! (@dazzlerazz)

This is a bit from my current WIP, Red, which is the first part of my Ashe Rainbow of Emotions series! It's a series where I'm writing little Ashe one shot thingies based on colour prompts that I then associate with certain emotions/feelings. For Red, I've matched it with the feeling of anger. Hope you enjoy this snippet! (and as always because it's a WIP some stuff might be changed/rewritten for the final thing so yeah ok byeeee!)

[Spoilers for the Falling Short of Heaven Paralogue (kinda)]

'He knows that mage, seen them before at Castle Gaspard, both with Lonato and with Christophe before the Tragedy. He'd heard things then that, years ago, had made no sense to him - brushing off suddenly odd behaviour out of politeness and trust - but now... now he understood. Puzzle pieces from long ago slotting into place as he stalks through the fog, flames within him blazing freely into a wildfire.

Ashe advances as close as he can without being seen, eyes locked upon his target. He'd only ever felt like this once before, a short while before he and his siblings had been taken in - he hadn't hesitated then - taken in by a man who deserved none of what had come to him, set into motion, most likely, by...

Quickly, silently, he readies his bow - he knows he won't hesitate now either - and speaks lowly into the mist:

"Lonato's blood... is on your hands."'

i think it’s about time i make a master list for my fe3h ocs

first up is Lindsay! she was my very first oc. she’s in the golden deer and is claude’s cousin. when our boy claude decided to go to fodlan she tagged along. she’s just a bundle of chaos who’s notably bad at keeping secrets.

then there’s of course nova, the ashen wolves oc with a yuri complex and daddy issues. he’s definitely not my favorite. his crest is an interesting little thing,, i’ll have to explain it sometime.

next is nari, whose information is on there for once. he’s an old friend of catherine’s who can either work out his relationship with her over christophe’s death (or even marry her) if their support reaches A, or will kill/be killed by her in hopes. good for them.

and finally, azzura. my girlie from duscur with heterochromia + vitiligo thanks to experiments done by the slithery people. is also adopted by Aelias when she’s about 5, after she’s disposed of from the facility for being more trouble than she was worth. she’s in the blue lions houseee

for reference, these are aelias (blond) and claudia (mommy). they’re nova’s parents, as well as azzura’s thanks to aelias’ habit of picking up children. claudia was the head of house beaufort, and went to the officers academy alongside lambert, rodrigue and matthias. aelias was essentially a druglord who chilled out after meeting claudia— he changed his tune and became a malewife. they die in 1172, when nova is 11, when their enemies gang up to kill them.

as a bonus, these are my christophe + glenn designs~
