#don't ask me for Roderich thoughts unless you want a lot of detail

Me, explaining how much of a shame it is that Roderich doesn't have white as his signature color in canon or in much fanart, despite it historically being the color of Austrian army uniforms, because putting him in white would also have the symbolism of making him bride-coded, alluding to marriage as his favorite diplomatic strategy:

#hws austria #don't ask me for Roderich thoughts unless you want a lot of detail #the rest of this rant is how the impracticality of it all fits him #bright white on the battlefield #ornamental and meant to project power instead of being practical in battle
