“Lead them well” What I felt playing as Byleth through the end of part 1. I started this comic during my 1st playthrough of FE3Houses with the Black Eagles, thought it was a good time to finish it. Everyone has their own personal take on how they view the 3Houses story and its characters, don’t misread my words, I’m not saying the BE are better. I just feel more attached to them because they were my first route. Please reblog, do not repost! ;w;

I'm very new to this fandom but I would like to propose: Edeleth Vigilante AU

Edelgard Hresvelg is a tired grad student and heiress to the Adrestian company by day. By night though, she's masked vigilante Flame Emperor, who - with help from her informant friend, Hubert - takes down corrupt politicians, rescues trafficked children, and busts shady deals. Journalists condemn her for her unlawful means of justice.

One night, at a gala, Edelgard happens to meet Byleth Eisner, daughter of chief of police Jeralt Eisner. Byleth is a professor at the local university who also runs a column for the school news. She's supposed to be writing articles about why the Flame Emperor needs to be stopped, but her opinions on the vigilante aren't negative.

As Edelgard struggles to keep her identity secret, Byleth pushes to learn the truth about who the Flame Emperor is.

And falls in love in the process.

AU in which everything is the same but the Black Eagles find the actual Monica and she joins as a student

Monica is a big Edelgard fan and tries to spend as much time as possible with her, this leads people to believing she and Hubert will antagonize each other but nope. They’re great friends, together they’re Edelgard’s reply guys, and they over-pamper her to an absurd degree “Lady Edelgard here’s the imperial tea” “Hey Edel i got you cookies to go with the tea” “I’ve washed the imperial handkerchief as well” “I cleaned the paintbrushes”  [etc etc]

One day Monica is wandering about around the monastery and she runs into Kronya disguised as her (who probably didn’t get the memo that the Ochs girl wasn’t as dead as one would like) but her immediate reaction isn’t to yell “IMPOSTER” or anything of the sort, she storms off yelling “Hubert whAT DID YOU DO?!” Leaving a perplexed Kronya behind

When Monica hears about Edelgard’s plans she’s like “Overthrow the church? hell yeah i’m in!”, in line with her previous characterization as the gremlin who lives under Edelgard’s floorboards (Hubert lives in the wall)

Also this is more just me rambling but Monica would probably have proficiencies in Swords and  Bows, with a hidden talent for Reason and a weakness in heavy armour (which is why she got stabbed by Jeritza)

Speaking of getting stabbed By Jeritza she would have supports with him and Manuela, along with all the other eagles and Lysithea/Mercedes

I just want more kids in the Garreg Mach goth gay drama club tbh.

Edelgard is not wrong about the origin of crests

An argument I see thrown around a lot (and that never fails to bother me) is that Edelgard’s actions are based on misinformation. She says that Seiros gave crests and relics to humanity to control them. and people cite the fact that Nemesis and the 10 Elites killed the Nabateans to create the relics in the first place as a counter-argument. After all, if they took them by force how could Seiros use them to control the people?

To answer that we have to look at the timeline (or a short snippet of it at least):

Nemesis and the Elites cause the red canyon incident/massacre/your preferred word

Seiros and the remaining Nabateans go to war with Nemesis for revenge

The war rages for several years, eventually leading to Seiros’ side winning the war and reclaiming the hero’s relics.

By the time the war is over the Nabateans are in possession of all the relics and crest stones.

So then how did those make their way to the people of Fodlan? Seiros, rather than holding onto them, gave them away while framing them as gifts from the goddess. This falls perfectly in line with what Edelgard says about the origin of crests. She might be ignorant or willingly omitting their ultimate place of origin (Nabatean bodies) but the fact that Seiros distributed them to the people in order to keep herself safe by putting herself on the pedestal is just that, a fact.

I posted this on twitter and forgot i had a Tumblr for like a week haha oops.

The black eagle girls having a grand ol’ time at the beach (not Edelgard, she’s a bit crispy).

[nyashi-mk]

On Mafia AUs

Change of pace from the other (two) posts on this blog but:

Often when i see people talk about a potential Mafia AU they always have Edelgard as the daughter of a mob boss or a CEO (at least from what i’ve seen) but they fail to consider that her father in-game has pretty much 0 political power AND she’s very firmly on the chaotic side of the spectrum with her hatred of the status quo and stuff.

What am i getting at here? Baseball bat-wielding delinquent Edelgard that kneecaps people.

That’s it, that’s the post.

Petty whining about unimportant stuff

What kind of brain worm does the 3H fandom have on this hellsite? I've seen someone (who I won't name, it's also a bad blog but I digress) saying that Edelgard is more interesting as a villain than as a hero? As if "evil red emperor on a quest for conquest gets stopped by rightful heir blue boy" isn't the plot of half the games we have in the series? Being on the conquering side is magnitudes more interesting.

I always call myself stupid (which I am) but some people are trying real hard to outdo me there.

[nyashi-mk]

Well how’s THIS for a first post: 

An all too wordy, petty response to a bad post by a bad blog!

One of the things about Crimson Flower-specific endings is that their implications tend to say that things aren’t as they’re made out to be.

Ok, let’s hear it!

Hanneman/Manuela confirms that Edelgard reforms the Church under Imperial control, rather than it being destroyed like the epilogue says. Whatever the Church says, the faith of Fodlan, has to be approved by Edelgard making her word the word of the Goddess.

False. Disingenuous wording.

"Under imperial control" is magnitudes different from "under the supervision of the Empire" which is what is ACTUALLY stated in their paired ending. Almost as if the church is in desperate need of regulations to make sure it doesn't politically overstep its boundaries. Which, need i remind people, is far from unprecedented.

Manuela/Ferdinand shows us Manuela becoming Prime Minister in Ferdinand’s place. However, she is only able to do this because she worked with Ferdinand on his reforms. Therefore, she was only able to rise up because of the opportunity awarded her through her marriage to a noble.

This is denying any merit Manuela herself might have in the endeavour.

It's true she got the opportunity from being close to Ferdinand but we can't really fault Edelgard for not being aware of everyone's talents by default (which is the one thing you COULD have cited as an argument against her political reform). Manuela herself is likely unaware of her own political prowess before marrying Ferdinand, only becoming privy to it from being interested in her husband's work (also i don't like Ferdinand x Manuela, but I digress)

Edelgard/Dorothea sees Edelgard forbidding the Opera company from their version of the war until Dorothea persuaded her to let it be shown. So, censorship.

This is no more ‘censorship’ than me or you asking a friend to delete a picture of us they've taken, it's born of embarrassment. Because Edelgard is shown as someone really prone to getting angry when embarrassed. Again, either disingenuous or stupid assumption. Plus, looking at the ACTUAL text you’ve conveniently omitted from your post time and time again: "Edelgard initially forbade the company from staging it, but was eventually persuaded by Dorothea's passionate performance to rescind that decree. It is said that the emperor always set aside time to enjoy the opera thereafter." so much for ‘censorship’.

Felix/Bernadetta sees Felix having to perform Bernadetta’s duties to her region, even signing her title himself. This implies that Bernadetta was not the best candidate for the position. Hubert does the same thing while sending Bernadetta off to do his job. 

This is actually really interesting to me because it kinda hints at Bernadetta's relationships with certain people making her regress emotionally because she is framed as really competent once you get past the shyness in many endings, including the one with Edelgard herself.

This gets half a point though, good job!

  Caspar Jenkins as the head of the military… nuff said.

Have you never read any of Caspar’s supports? He is one of THE most hard-working people in Edelgard's army and rallies his troops like no other, as well as embodying Edelgard’s ideals of meritocracy.

Even Hubert has to concede that his incessant yelling is, somehow, beneficial.

Hubert.

“Nuff said.”

Hubert’s endings point to him acting in the shadows to support Edelgard, doing unsavory things. His ending with Shamir confirms that there are assassination attempts and uprisings against Edelgard that they put down, while his ending with Ferdinand a) in English, states that he’s more popular than Edelgard b) in Japanese implies Edelgard isn’t close to anyone following the war even if they marry Byleth.

Hubert doing Hubert things is bad because rat man bad. He's a slimy bastard, he's shady, and handles the not-so-legal side of things with only a half-acknowledgement from Edelgard. Pointing this out serves nothing, seeing how everyone is more than aware already.

As for the paired ending: "the two came to be known as the nation's "Two Jewels," and were remembered fondly for generations to come. Some say their fame made even Emperor Edelgard jealous."

"some say"

From what we know of Edelgard, jealousy really isn't her thing, so we could fairly safely dismiss this as hearsay BUT, even if she was jealous of their fame, popularity and competence are hardly linked, especially in the political scene, considering who’s sitting in the oval office right now in our world.

Also, to address the last sentence, Paired endings don’t vary based on what other ones you get, that’d be a ludicrous amount of work and you should know it.

The only commoner who gets promoted to noble is Ashe, who was already Lonato’s heir. However, any noble unit aligned with Edelgard gets to keep their position. People keep saying that they proved their worth during the war by fighting alongside Edelgard, but fighting and managing a region are completely separate skills. Likewise, it is Marianne’s father who is restored instead of her, while Byleth/Lorenz says that a noble can just hand their position off to their children.

People seem to forget that someone had to manage the territories between the old nobles being stripped of their titles (pre-timeskip) and the war ending. this is just an educated guess but i'd argue it's really obvious that they don't have weekly war councils to discuss the same end of month mission over and over again, they’d need to tackle administrative tasks, if only to keep infrastructure running to fund the war.

Bernadetta, Hubert, Ferdinand, Lorenz, etc. likely had to pick up the slack for their less-than-adequate parents in the 5 years it took. And marianne refusing to become the ruler of an entire region is the least surprising thing I’ve read all year.

FURTHERMORE most commoner characters don't express any interest in the more administrative side of things:

Dorothea wants to sing and find love, Ignatz wants to paint, Leonie wants to be a mercenary, even Mercedes (who is of noble birth) expresses only a desire to live her life helping people, be it as a member of the church or by opening an orphanage (paired ending with Annette).

And the Byleth/Lorenz support isn't a good source simply because it doesn't change on a fundamental level between routes, it would've been nice if it did but we can't count recruit supports as necessarily canon unless they're explicitly with Edelgard and/or Hubert because of this.

In various endings, Edelgard is said to rule until her “later” years. Her ending with Lysithea in particular sees her ruling until the end of her life counter to claims she stepped down shortly after the war.

This one is a bit more tricky to argue against because we don't know exact numbers: how "late" are her "later years"? Is this medieval standards? 30? 40? 90? the 'unsure historian' nature of paired endings is nice to laugh at but as an actual source for arguments it's extremely lacking.

As for her ending with Lysithea: the two are framed as a hypercompetent ruling duo, it's not unlikely that Edelgard simply didn't find a successor who could rise to their obscenely high standards.

Edelgard was willing to create a position with very lax standards in order to get Lynhardt’s support, rather than offering those same conditions to literally anyone else.

Linhardt (which you spelt wrong by the way, this doesn't detract from your argument but I’m petty and specifically dislike you) is one of the smartest people in the continent, and Edelgard has firsthand experience with him showing her exactly how brilliant he is. If i had to compromise to not only get someone like that on my side but also get them to not squander their talent i'd do it in a heartbeat. Plus, seeing someone's talent go to waste is one of the things that edelgard is explicitly shown as vehemently against (e.g. Miklan) which, again, anyone who’s played the game should know.

Once you look past the emotional cues of the route, it is bathed in fridge implications. This does not paint a good picture for Fodlan’s future, and even her ending painting makes her look tyrannical especially in comparison to the other routes.

the Dimitri/Byleth ending shows a critical failure in the separation of church and state, which is the worst possible future for Fodlan, Claude/Byleth also adds the fact that Byleth would also be the queen of Almyra on top of that. And, seeing how Byleth will outlive both of them, that would cause a non-insignificant centralization of power, more than anything that happens in crimson flower, the supposedly imperialistic conquest route.

In conclusion: Bad post, OP.

One of the things about Crimson Flower-specific endings is that their implications tend to say that things aren’t as they’re made out to be.

Hanneman/Manuela confirms that Edelgard reforms the Church under Imperial control, rather than it being destroyed like the epilogue says. Whatever the Church says, the faith of Fodlan, has to be approved by Edelgard making her word the word of the Goddess.

My Byleth Fan Child Unit! Call her Babyleth or Lilleth/Lilith(not to be confused with Fates’, this one was named it for a good reason!).

She’s basically a “What if Byleth had a child unit?” Concept. I can see her admiring them for their teaching skills but not wanting to be 100% like them or be defined by her crest.

First edits are Claude (requested by @gatchayam ) , Edelgard, and Dimitri! If you have anymore, suggest them in my ask box! Feel free to edit and use!
