(I don't know if you're comfortable answering this, but it's just something I've been noticing through your norway) your norway doesn't have the hair cross pin clip, and if I where to take a guess it's because most norwegians tend to keep their religion private? also since norway is a really including country in today's day and age, and he is supposed to represent the people, I don't think he would wear the hair cross, (also I don't really know how the goverment would feel if a man like him wore a hairclip to important meetings, cross or not, but that's a topic for another time😅) I don't mind him being christian even though I am non religious myself, it makes sense with our history, (and apparently I've heard it's a stereotype in denmark that norwegians are highly christian🫣) but I don't think he would scream it out to the world or make a statement that he is christian, and that includes not wearing a cross. I mean...remember when a certain politician wore a cross around her neck just to make a political statement and everyone went crazy? *ehem ehem* l i s t h a u g
Yes, you've described it very well here! Not drawing the cross hair clip has been a very conscious choice on my part, and it's mostly due to these reasons you mention. Scandinavia in general is one of the least religious regions in the world, and it really would make no sense for Norway to wear a cross on him at all times. As you said; religion is a very private subject in Norway and very separated from daily life. I don't know a single person who goes to church, and most people I know who would define themselves as christian are only christian in the sense that "yeah, there might be a god out there somewhere". Religion is not really something we talk about because it's such a small part of our lives. People don't really flaunt their religion here, people don't wear crosses on them, and many are not religious at all (myself included).
In addition; the Christianity here is also deeply infused with old pagan religious practices and the introduction of Christianity has always been done in a way to control people. We have many instances of bishops being sent to "correct the pagans", and then people playing along but still doing "pagan shit" in secret or indoctrinating it as a part of the christian practices. This is probably where the Danish impression of Norway comes from too? Denmark forced protestantism on Norway while Norway wanted to remain catholic, where it was more room for pagan traditions (but a lot of these were still kept).
I hope my Norway is still recognizable as himself without the cross hair pin ✨

In regards to Cia in a lot of the LU fanon space (aka fics and headcanons), I feel like she's being portrayed far worse than she actually is in Hyrule Warriors. I do think that Wars would have a lot of trauma regarding her considering she's the whole reason a war was started in his name. I do also think that starting said war is pretty bad. But I don't think she really deserves the black-and-white viewpoint most people have of her, it undermines the (attempted - it was a bad and rushed attempt but an intentional attempt nonetheless) redemption of her character arc. I say this as someone who owns the game and has combed through it for hours to attempt to rewrite that bullshit game.
But I think a lot of people are missing the part where Cia actually had control over her one-sided love for centuries as she only watched each hero and never interacted, but it was when Ganondorf came in and corrupted her that she started the war. She was under Ganondorf's influence throughout most of the game, even when she defected from him and attempted to gain the Triforce. She eventually made attempts to redeem herself after becoming free of Ganondorf due to Lana. There's also an element that Cia herself was exploited for Ganondorf's own power fantasies, it was likely that he manipulated or even told her to go to such extremes as making a war to get the Triforce and just used Cia's quiet yearning as a motive.
As dogshit as Hyrule Warriors is as a game and story, I think the idea that Lana is this perfect good is a great foil to Cia's unwavering evil, both forced to these extremes because of Ganondorf, who then regained their humanity once Cia finally broke free of him, though is more subtle in Lana is actually expressed kinda well compared to the rest of the wonkiness of the game. I think there's something to be said about Cia treatment as a antagonist compared to others like say Shadow, the way they're treated as being redeemed villains who were manipulated by Ganondorf for his own gains is vastly different across the fandom. Idk if there's a reason but it feels so distinct and I can't answer why.
This isn't to say that I don't think Wars would have a lot of issues surrounding what happened, its quite obvious he would have a lot of relationship problems on top of everything going on about the war. Its more a ramble about how people portray Cia post-HW/during LU. I myself don't understand how it happened, but as a DLC that was added for free in the Definitive Edition, Cia was revived and re-evilised, so yes she is technically alive still. I don't blame people for thinking she's some mega evil seductress that wants to capture the hearts of all the Chain, she seems very one-sided as a character at first without either getting the game and playing through yourself or skimming every website about the game (which is surprisingly few compared to its Age of Calamity counterpart - which also has its issues) and analysing the very misleading text in wiki pages and reviews. But no, she's not portrayed as a rapist (wtf literally where in the game is it even implied) nor is her character shown to be a pedophile (each hero she has been shown to fawn over are very explicitly the adult heroes).
I'm fine with headcanons, but the kind of stuff I see passed around in LU fanon is basically character assassination. It's kind of sad to see Cia just absolutely obliterated. I'm fine with some of the tamer headcanons, but some of the aforementioned like her being a rapist or a pedophile is so gross to me (and yes I've seen both multiple times in many more words to try to soften the blow of the writer/headcanoner's implications). I don't really like her character myself but I feel like I've analysed her and reworked her and picked apart her character too much to even consider humouring these kinds of ideas. Saying things like she's hypersexual or playing into her seductress image and appearance is fine because it's almost canon, I'll even agree with people calling her a stalker because she definitely was one during the war, but saying anything close to her committing anything more extreme is just not it for me.
