#kiss my ass he's not the BIGGEST lapdog in the entire game the man's a fuckin' Russian Bear Hunter of lapdogs

I can’t believe stans actually unironically believe “Hubert eventually chose to follow Edelgard” as though he had literally any choice otherwise, ever, in nearly his entire life. 

Hubert’s loyalty isn’t moving, or touching, or deep. It’s the result of a child who’s been forced to believe exactly one thing his entire life and was only ever given the chance to maybe break away from that when he was already 20 years old. Yeah, no shit he’s gonna say “I personally follow you now” because what the fuck else is there to Hubert personally other than serving Edelgard? 

He never grew a personality outside of serving Edelgard and being evil. He has no personal ambitions in life other than serving Edelgard. Every single one of his actions is for the explicit purpose of helping better serve Edelgard. Even when he “defies” her, he still is 100% behind her ideals (strictly because they are Edelgard’s ideals) and is only “defiant” by being even more dirty in his work than Edelgard. And this is all, again, for the express purpose of serving Edelgard.

People call Cyril and Dedue blind lapdogs as if that does not, to the T, describe Hubert in his entirety. A dog that bites someone it isn’t supposed to is going against its master’s wishes, but it’s only doing so to protect their master. Tell me, right now, that is not Hubert. Oh wait, sorry, I can’t see your response over the hundreds of fanarts literally drawing Hubert as Edelgard’s literal dog. And he’s drawn as such far more than the other retainer duos are.

And they try and say Edelgard cares for Hubert and doesn’t want him to follow her so drastically. That’s in their supports... and no where else. Claude is horrified by Hilda’s sacrifice if she dies in AM/CF, and praises her for her ideas in VW. Dimitri breaks completely, explicitly due to Dedue’s either apparent or real death, and he has an entire alternate chapter ending with him in CF. There’s a show of a close bond between the other two retainer duos outside of their supports, within the main story and gameplay itself. Edelgard? Doesn’t give a shit if Hubert dies, ever. No “They got through...? But, that means Hubert-!” <-- no shit like that, even though she knows what it would mean that the army is in her throne room. And within the story itself, she treats him as an annoying assistant reminding her of the shit she has to do at best. Not to mention her literally lol’ing at his confession to her in their A support.

Rhea saves Cyril from slavery --> Cyril is entirely loyal to Rhea. Dimitri almost dies saving Dedue from murder --> Dedue is entirely loyal to Dimitri. Edelgard is born and stands there --> Hubert is entirely loyal to Edelgard. There’s a bit of a difference here. 

#anti edelgard #Anti-edelgard #just to be safe #like omega safe lmao #yeah guess which post i went and took a look at lmao #i can't believe so many people are arguing so hard against the idea that Hubert is blindly following Edelgard #like y'all he literally murders his father because the guy didn't like the Emperor slurping up all the Empire's power to himself #and even when he hears that maybe the guy did it to protect something precious (wink wink Hubert wink wink) he doesn't give a shit #because he was protecting Edelgard (which means he had to murder his dad not just relieve him of power) so who cares about his dad #i-fuckin'-magine if Cyril or Dedue said something like that about their family #''Cyril just stood by and watched Rhea burn down Fhirdiad!!!'' #Hubert's entire paralogue is literally about saving TWS goons from the Demonic Beasts they created from innocent people #all to better serve Edelgard #kiss my ass he's not the BIGGEST lapdog in the entire game the man's a fuckin' Russian Bear Hunter of lapdogs #also not raggin' on those who draw the dog fanarts they can be real cute #but it's a tad telling how much more Hubert is drawn as such then anyone else (Ferdinand too)
