#it's like. you can't simultaneously argue that Crests shouldn't be seen as important or valued to society and that no one needs them

Genuinely can't understand how people can legitimately say "trying to argue that Crests are powerful and useful and writing Crests as being powerful and useful proves Edelgard right about how people wrongfully fixate on them" when Edelgard herself says she thinks she can only use her signature heavy armor because of Crests (study requests), and when she herself uses a Relic that was made specifically to be compatible with her twin Crests to use in fighting. Nearly her entire visual language as a character relies on her using her Crests, so the people trying to argue this just kinda point out how hypocritical she is lmao

#anti edelgard #anti-edelgard #edelgard critical #edelgard discourse #just to be safe #like we been knew she was but thanks for pointing out one of the biggest examples of that lmao #it's like. you can't simultaneously argue that Crests shouldn't be seen as important or valued to society and that no one needs them #and then go on to try to fundamentally change society by means only available through Crests #EDELGARD disproves her own (supposed) point about Crests being unnecessary more than anyone else does #she can't just turn off her Crests but she can control how she fights #she didn't need to specifically use heavy armor or specifically use Aymr. and yet she does. very readily #she fights in ways that SHE ADMITS are only possible for her because of Crests. but no one needs Crests. except for her. conveniently #like how is this flying over Edelstans' heads lmao. absolute experts at making Edelgard look morally worse than she already does I swear
