#sometimes it's so hard to like edeleth fics because Byleth's treated like a stupid doll who only knows how to kill and #only cares about Edelgard and barely anything else #which is like--so weird given that she's supposed to be more than a vessel; more than a tool #she learns to be more human and to have value in herself #which is why it makes Edeleth fics who treasure Byleth; who recognize her as the strategical genius she canonically is; #who utilize her background as a commoner and mercenary; who remember that she enjoys helping people and Cares for more than just her LI #all the more special #they could have done better at the execution--show more rather than tell perhaps--but these things are still canon #and it's just so frustrating to see people rewrite her into something she's not; when what she is is on paper already so interesting
