*A soft but urgent knock sounds in the night. The door is opened to reveal a small child with suspiciously dark green hair, sleeping unaware. A note is read, "Will you raise this child as a weapon to those who would defy Her Majesty? Or purely as a shield for humanity? Or perhaps he would be allowed to live among them and raised alongside them, with no other purpose but to live and discover life?"

You see no sign of anyone else in the area...

*Hubert picks up the child with the familiar ease of someone who has cared for children often*

You stay with me. First, we notify the guards and my agents to be on alert for whoever brought you here. Next... Well. We shall see.

...I cannot fathom why anyone would bring a Nabatean child here, of all places. We are entirely unprepared to know what sort of care you need, if anything about that  is unique to you whatsoever.

It could be a scheme to reveal Rhea’s location. But our options are limited, little one. It is her or Seteth, and I fear even a temporary compromise with him for your sake is too risky.

I suppose we should start with Linhardt and Byleth. The former to make sure you’re in good health, as much as we can tell, and the latter for the sake of decency. I’m sure they would prefer to be among the first to know you’re here.

The decision of what to do next can follow.

One of the biggest reasons I try to recruit all the characters in Three Houses isn’t just because I don’t want to kill them, but because if I do, I still have to go back to the monastery afterward. I still have to pass by their dorm rooms full of their belongings and know that’s where they spent their alone time and where they slept. I still have to pass by the spots they frequented the most. It’s not just the sad dialogue of characters reacting to the deaths, but passing by the spots I vividly remembered them hanging out at.

I realized this most in my first playthrough when I didn’t have the chance to recruit everyone and I accidently killed Raphael at Gronder. I didn’t have the enemy attack range turned on so I didn’t realize he was in range of attacking.

During an exploration, I was looking for Ignatz who was, unfortunately, in his dorm room... and I walked into the wrong room and into Raphael’s after he was killed and man that fuckin’ sucked! Feels bad but like, multiplied with big numbers, u kno??? ???

YES, IT’S A VIDEO GAME. YES, I HAVE HUMAN BEING FEELINGS ABOUT IT.

#DCB Comments #I also didn't get to recruit Ferdie in my first playthrough which is what I mean about #characters mentioning others dying. like Dorothea saying ''we killed Ferdie'' didn't hit nearly as hard as #walking into now dead Raphael's room and seeing all his stuff still lying around the way it was left when everyone had to flee #AND THE WORST PART? it's not like I MEANT to go into his room and stew on it. I completely accidentally walked into it #because I was trying to find/talk to Ignatz who was in his own room.

I had Linhardt already so I was hellbent on getting Caspar #bc I didn't want them to have to be enemies. basically I'd watched the game online already before playing #bc I didn't own the game or a Switch for a while after the game was out. I knew the spot you fight them at #and that they're both in the same chapter as enemies if not recruited which meant that if I only got Linhardt #that Caspar would be alone as my enemy and he wouldn't even have his best buddy there AND they'd be enemies #also tho Raphael just hit hard because I may not consider him a fave at all but he was still a nice dude you know??? ??? ??? #like he's just a regular nice guy vibing and like... realizing that gentle nice man was killed in war #and walking into his old room was SADS. very big sads #DCB Three Houses Stuff

🧃"Good showing out there darling."

“Thank you.” The drink she is given is distantly familiar to what her family had growing up—a small container of juice easily made in bulk to be shared among companions. The younger of her two sisters would always try to take as many as she could.

“I realize I’m among the injured, but let me know if there’s anything I can do to help out the students who have ended up here. I also have experience with staves, and I can work past a few scrapes.”

A memory of someone they don’t see anymore

memories. (no longer accepting)

// general illness, vomiting mention

A long time ago, there was a boy made ill by the sight of blood.

Not just a faint light-headedness or a general disgust for the nature of fighting, but sick to the point of nearly passing out. Just the scent could cause him to lose focus, then balance, then consciousness–

It was unbearable for him. (Then again, that’s how it should be.)

When you came to the Academy, one of your first missions was to fight. You were hesitant, but this was your mission (duty shackled you, though you hate to admit it). Your peers lacked the same reservations. The bodies fell.

And you held it in—your disgust, your distaste—even as it snaked around beneath your skin, coiling around your stomach and threatening to make you wretch.

When at last, you returned to the monastery, all you wanted to do was sleep, to let the memories become nothing more than a bad dream, and yet–

Yet the following month, you did it again.

And again. Every month.

That boy, so opposed to the sight of blood, doesn’t exist anymore.

[varley-of-torment]

I had a thought last night

Poly Dimitri/Felix/Bernadetta throuple. Dimitri, as king, publicly has Felix as his husband, and Bernadetta (who has abandoned nobility) is part of the relationship but out of the public eye. Felix with both a husband and wife that love him and that both have smiles that will knock him dead. Dimitri and Bernadetta understanding each other's trauma based fears and boundaries. Imagine the cuddling in bed they would have.

#dimilixdetta #IMAGINE #the POTENTIAL #drops this and runs #i imagine after the war felix knew he and dimitri would stay together and when bernadetta mentioned she didn't know where she'd go #he was like 'you can stay with us?' #I'm not sure to put this in the post or not but linhardt also lives in the castle. he's not part of the relationship he just came with bern #he's like her emotional support buddy who also had nowhere to go after the war

[dmclemblems]

So returning to what someone mentioned to me earlier: I replayed the route in full and can confirm that Caspar dies but I am still pretty sure Ferdinand didn’t. The time I fought him in battle he retreated and it’s possible to win that battle without even fighting him, so I’m under the impression that he survives.

I think by the end of AM the only student that dies is Caspar if you recruited those who can be recruited, aside from Hubert who dies to the Alliance offscreen apparently (not sure how I feel about that too since it was pretty glossed over and was handed to us in a single sentence, then they moved on and never mentioned him again).

I haven’t had Hilda or Holst end up getting defeated in battle as allies so I don’t know if it’s possible for them to die, but I assume they just retreat.

#Three Hopes Spoilers #poor Capsar tho like? literally nobody even cared or mourned him lmao what #Linhardt mentioned him but he all he said was that people like Caspar revel in times of war and how he doesn't like war and all that #even his dad just yeeted from the battlefield and survived like sure okay #uhhh is there... anything you want... on your grave... or something... caspar??? #LIKE... ig I expected something more from SOMEONE but here lies Caspar. forgotten.

[askhubertvonvestra]

Boops nose, how have you been?

...I see you missed these antics.

But I have been well. With the support of our allies, progress with the war has been both swift and decisive.

Although I suppose that doesn't quite answer your question. Dorothea and Petra have brought it to my attention that I rarely respond accordingly when questions involve me directly, so. I have been collaborating with Linhardt on his more engaging studies, and Bernadetta has been joining Ferdinand and I for tea as of late. Byleth has gladly roped me into their training sessions with Caspar, claiming that we will be good influences on one another. Begrudgingly, they were not incorrect on that front. Naturally, this has been encouraged by Her Majesty as we both pursue greater independence and free time outside of our duties.

Likewise, it would be excellent news to know that you are doing well. May only the best cross your path.

I just had the dumbest thought of Byleth making her students walk single-file whenever they went somewhere in the monastery as a class, like how teachers would make us do as kids.

Except she’d get tired of it within two weeks and just say “fuck it”.

[authordgaster]

LeoLinNette OT3/Post Game/Teacher AU

Basically just combines the Linhardt/Annette paired ending with the Leonie & Alois Paired Ending.

After Byleth reopens the Officer’s Academy, Linhardt and Annette go to become teachers there, essentially becoming their generation’s version of Hanneman and Manuela. (The old couple step back a bit, with the former focusing on Crestology while the latter takes the role of school nurse)

Meanwhile Leonie joins up and eventually becomes the leader of Jeralt’s mercenaries. Unfortunately, she has a minor issue: she can’t ever go to any taverns because Alois decided to make Jeralt’s debts her problem.

Fast forward about two years after the war and Leonie decides to stop by Garreg Mach and force the old man to pay off those debts, which he agrees to do, having become the captain of the Knights of Seiros and amassing enough funds to finally pay off all those taverns.

Leonie then proceeds to get blackout drunk at the local tavern, and by pure chance she happens to stumble into (quite literally) two old friends from the war.

When she comes to, she realizes that she’s in Linhardt and Annette’s home. After some catching up, she decides to stick around for a little bit to pay back the pair for taking care of her, which Linhardt and Annette were fine with, since they both knew she was far too stubborn to take no for an answer.

But every time she came close to paying them back, she would end up going back to the tavern and they’d have to drag her back home and she’d have to pay them back all over again.

Soon Days together turned to weeks, and then weeks turned to months. Eventually Leonie started giving tips to the students when it came to horse riding or lance work or archery, to the point where Byleth would start paying her for her services.

Eventually Leonie had her own toothbrush, and sometimes she’d have responsibilities like grocery shopping or cleaning the dishes delegated to her.

And one particular night after one of Leonie’s trips to the tavern, she clung a little too tight to Linhardt and Annette couldn’t pry her off, so the green haired man just shrugged and carried her to his and Annette’s room, and the latter was too worn out to argue and simply followed along, leading to a very confused, embarrassed, and painfully hungover Leonie waking up between the green haired healer and the ginger mage. And then she started joining the pair in their bed more often, rather than sleeping on the couch like she had been previously.

Eventually Byleth asked her if she wanted to try being the teacher for the Golden Deer the following year, with Linhardt and Annette being in charge of the Eagles and Lions respectively.

And the former mercenary found herself saying yes.

And the life the three professors wound up building together just kept moving forward.

[raxistaicho]

Is Edelgard a fascist?

So as I mentioned in a recent post, I'd like to dig in detail into the notion that Edelgard is a fascist. And also debunk said notion.

Now then, I'm going to look into the actual indicators of fascism, and not the "that character is in power and I don't like them" version we see thrown carelessly around the internet today.

It's broadly accepted today that the fourteen key signs of a fascist society are as follows:

While the exact wording can vary, these are the most common traits.

We'll start with the easiest ones first:

Corporations and labor movements don't exist in Fodlan, nor is there such a thing as private mass media, nor does Fodlan have elections (no, not even in post Azure Moon), so those can four can't be analyzed. However, given that corporations are modern-day fiefdoms and CEOs and the rich are modern-day aristocrats, it's not hard at all to imagine that Edelgard would align her interests more with the working class than the wealthy if she existed in a different kind of society.

And rampant sexism is the most obvious, "no", given Edelgard cares more about talent than what a person has between their legs.

Moving on next to the things that can be addressed with a little more detail.

Supremacy of the military: So obviously Edelgard starts a war, which makes things a bit weird here, but there's no indication the Adrestian military is given disproportionate focus in terms of funding or cultural emphasis aside from what could be reasonably expected from a country at war. Additionally, Edelgard favors diplomacy as a solution to Fodlan's relations with Almyra and Brigid, and Edelgard demonstrates a wide range of areas of focus for her future reforms between research (Linhardt, Constance), education (Ferdinand), faith (Manuela), and the arts (Dorothea), making it clear the military is just one of many tools in her reformist arsenal. 4 is a strong strong no.

Obsession with national security: This trait is more or less an obsession with external forces attempting to ruin you. Edelgard's detractors would immediately leap to her designating the Church of Seiros as a target while forgetting that the CoS is her only target. With fascism, there is always An Enemy looking to tear down society, but that isn't the case with Edelgard. She targets the CoS for very specific and demonstrable reasons, and once they're defanged she sets out making peace with former enemies abroad and at home. Her detractors would point out Hubert continuing to observe Fodlan for internal threats, but given how fragile Fodlan's internal peace would be for years following the war (rebellions would be a common issue, whether or not the Agarthans are involved), this is more of a justified concern than an obsessive rooting out of imagined agitators. 7 is another no.

Disdain for intellectuals and the arts: Several characters Edelgard forms very close support attachments with (Bernadetta, Dorothea, Manuela, Linhardt, Hanneman) are artistic types or intellectuals, and, despite what her detractors would have you believe, so 11 is another no.

Obsession with crime and punishment: Edelgard treats Varley and Aegir, people who tormented her, her loved ones, and countless others with a very even hand. While Rhea's confinement appears to be under severe circumstances (underground and likely in isolation for five years), this isn't done because Edelgard felt like being extra mean: you simply can't confine a woman who can transform into a dragon in an ordinary cell. Compare this to the Knight of Seiros's obsession with summary executions and Edelgard comes off looking very merciful. 12 is another very likely no.

Rampant cronyism and corruption: Firstly, she actively fights against corruption.

Cronyism is where her detractors will point out her giving positions of power to close friends, but the issue there is a key aspect of cronyism is that the person committing it ignores it does so without regard for the beneficiaries' qualifications.

The two characters most likely to ruffle feathers are Caspar and Bernadetta, but none of their endings imply they were incompetent at their respective positions. It's simply the nature of Fire Emblem ending cards to assume the character was highly succesfull during the war - aside from a few joke characters or poor Ilios.

That's a few more knocked out, leaving only a few left.

Powerful and continuing nationalism: Nationalism is the focus on the advancement of one's own country above all others. Three Houses doesn't treat Adrestia, Faerghus, and Leicester as countries, but as regions or powers, but I'll ignore that for sake of argument. Edelgard detractors claim Edelgard is focused on the advancement of specifically Adrestia, but that's certainly not true. The common anti-Edelgard claim is she's trying to regain the lands of Faerghus and Leicester for its own sake, but she isn't, she's trying to unite Fodlan so she can bring her reforms to all the continent at once.

Additionally, she's very concerned for Brigid's well-being, see her support conversations with Petra in both games, and she expresses an interest in forging better diplomatic ties with Almyra. Ultranationalism of the fascistic sort usually involves a major withdrawal of foreign relations. This is another no.

Disdain for human rights: You could argue with some justification that this is a fairly weak spot for Edelgard through her alliance with the Agarthans, and there's some merit to that. It is, however, a bit jarring to argue that the woman who wants to usher in new human rights has disdain for them.

As I mentioned previously, her treatment of Rhea during her imprisonment in Enbarr is often a sore spot with Edelgard's detractors, and it definitely seems to be the case that Rhea was imprisoned underground and largely in isolation... but again, how does one humanely secure a woman who can transform into a 30-foot flying dragon? It's just one of those things of the issues of trying to secure such an individual.

Also, as I mentioned previously, Edelgard avoids cruel and unusual punishment wherever possible, even for those who've seriously wronged her, such as Aegir. Another no, though perhaps a bit weaker than some past ones.

Identification of enemies/scapegoats:

The scapegoats part is important. As I mentioned previously, in fascist societies, there always has to be An Enemy to fight against, as fascism is obsessed with action for actions' sake and unity against some Other, all to keep the people at home from paying attention to their rights being stripped away.

So while Edelgard certainly identifies the Church of Seiros and Nabateans as a problem for Fodlan as a whole, she does this for the very clear reason of stripping their ability to interfere in the peoples' self-interests, and not just to give Fodlan an enemy to fight. Noticeably, once the church and the Nabateans are defeated in Crimson Flower, Edelgard focuses the rest of her life on social reforms. There's no indication she continues launching wars, whatever Fantasy Invader tries to say. Another no.

Religion and government intertwined:

This would seem to be Edelgard's weakest point, since she appoints one of her own ministers as head of the southern church in Scarlet Blaze. In Crimson Flower proper we have too little information on church life in Adrestia under her to know this one either way.

It's worth remembering that Edelgard's reformed system generally acknowledges the first generations of people in power will more or less be people who would have already had that power, since they're generally the most apt recipients due to their initial advantage. In that regard, the head of Adrestia's religion doubling as a government official is a problem she inherited, not one she created: Count Varley was already minister of Religious Affairs. It would be a lot more suspicious if she named Hubert the southern bishop.

Furthermore, given the nature of Edelgard's merit-based reforms, once Varley dies there's a much better chance of the next southern bishop not being tied to Adrestia's government.

Lastly, Religion and government being "merely" intertwined is an improvement from SS and VW, in which Fodlan becomes a full-on theocracy, and AM, in which religion has permanent influence over the government.

And there we go! Of the fourteen warning signs of Fascism, only one of them could be honestly tied to Edelgard, and mostly only because of her loathed alliance with the Agarthans - which she ditches in Scarlet Blaze, leaving her entirely free of human rights abuses.

So yeah, Edelgard doesn't actually look very much like a fascist when your standards are actual fascism and not, "this lady accrues power and I don't like her for it".

That's why you never take an Edelgard detractor at their word, folks.

[vonbergerpants]

I couldn't help but think about how great it is that Caspar and Linhardt are supposed to mirror their parents' friendship but are so very different from them and deviated far from what their parents expected them to be in the end of it all.

You look at Hopes and you see that Leopold and Waldemar have a very similar dynamic to their kids, but then you look at Caspar and Linhardt and think that they are very much their own pair in spite of that.

Linhardt is so very much unlike his father, not wanting his position at all despite being his heir. He has that similar disdain for fighting, but doesn't that drive for his work that his father has. Caspar was raised to be a good soldier and loves training and fighting like his father does, but unlike his father, was never in the running for inheriting his father's position, nor did he show any interest in it. Not to mention his love for fighting is something he was honestly raised to have.

Despite their similar upbringing, they both want to do their own thing and they respect each other for that. Their fathers have that sense of animosity towards each other, but Caspar and Linhardt are built from a mutual respect for each other. They treat each other much nicer than their fathers do. They became attached at the hip, as Caspar himself pointed out.

As a neat little aside, there's a headcanon that Linhardt was meant to meet and be (unwilling) friends with Caspar's older brother due to both of them being heirs, out of a sense of working together in their respective positions in the future, but Caspar happened to find him first instead and an unexpected friendship was born. They became inseparable, whether their fathers liked it or not.

And so that makes it all the more surprising for their fathers when they find out that the two of them have basically eloped together in their paired ending.
