claude’s seiyuu can sing and he’s on spotify! that aside, khalid is definitely a guy whose really into music. he’s good on a wind instruments and strings! he’s never had any formal training in musical theory or the like, it was something he picked up whilst living in almyra. what he does know is very transferable - he grew up playing the catar and the ney; which in fodlan, he can play the guitar and his ney he tells people it’s a flute and he carries it with him. music is a big part of him. he’ll sing during feasts, he sings before any grand decisions. music soothes him in his childhood and it has always soothed him.

mcdonalds route is undeniably the sexiest route

[eclipseharts]

he sees her akin to a mine of secrecy, a reserve of secrets for him to unravel -- edelgard von hresvelg always fascinated him. like dimitri, he could see right through her: she’s hiding something. something big. yet, dissimilar to his princeliness, her mind appears to work in a similar clockwork to khalid’s own. khalid lulls people in as a farce, and edelgard keeps a respectful distance -- he remarks her coldness & careful words. 

adrestia’s heir apparent is an instrumental key to him fulfilling his goals. the faux faerghan chivalry is too simplistic for him -- like a fiddle, he knows he could bend dimitri with honeyed pleas and words of ideal optimisms. but edelgard wasn’t dimitri and khalid is determined to unravel adrestia’s dirtiest secrets. 

“ hey princess, ” claude calls to her casually.  “ y’know it’s strange how we don’t really know each other -- we are house leaders after all, shouldn’t we be having house leader meetings or something, ” he notes nonchalantly, leaning back against the chair barely tipping it on an angle. “ say, you wanna have tea together -- just the two of us, of course... unless you wanna invite hubert but i’d prefer not. ”

reminder that the infantilization of cyril (man of colour) and the over-sexualization of petra (woman of colour) comes from a racist notion -- in fe3h’s case it’s very clear. calling a man of colour “boy” has been used historically to undermine their agency. so when you choose to infantilize cyril but sexualize petra ask yourself: why?

another thought: claude doesn’t trust hilda enough to truly call her his right hand. he never will. not only is hilda’s family basically fodlan’s border control, but also her attitude, her complex is only afforded by the exploitations of almyrans. of course, he has complicated relationship with hilda. 

imagine this -- khalid didn’t grow up in fodlan so any friends he has in fodlan he keeps “close” to him but never too close because he fears stepping on their toes, disrupting the harmony etc etc. hilda will never understand claude and even if she viewed claude past his “almyraness” it still would leave a bad taste in his mouth -- it’s the equivalent of saying “oh but you’re one of the good ones”. khalid doesn’t want that. he doesn’t wanna be an exception. he wants people and himself to be loved for who they are and that includes being half-almyran. 

hilda is the friend he had when he came to fodlan to feel like he belongs but he never really belonged with her. he could never trust hilda the same way, say edelgard trusts hubert. he just couldn’t. this is why i believe is the reason why hilda is the only “retainer”/right hand that can be recruited. he’ll never trust hilda like that... which is also why in CF he’s surprised she didn’t just bail because he expected her to since he’d never trust his life with her. 

i don’t think hilda should play as big of a role post-timeskip. i think she should’ve played the same role as lorenz, if not an even smaller role. hilda isn’t a straight shooter, in fact she lies a lot -- she’s a suck up and claude sees right through her bullshit. what claude needs is someone who won’t mince words with him -- he needs someone who doesn’t give a shit if he’s the heir to almyra’s throne. he needs someone who doesn’t give a crap about his status because his vision is to create an egalitarian world and in order to do that, he needs as many perspectives as possible. 

hilda just doesn’t have much to contribute. she’s like every “apolitical” white girl out there and that’s not what he needs in a right hand. he needs someone who can give him the perspective he lacks. 

anyways point being, post-timeskip he doesn’t really have a right hand (unless plotted) until nader or judith shows up because those two will give it to him straight.

anyways, starter call for when my blog is free from the shadow realm

[eclipseharts]

today’s a good day to remind everyone khalid is mixed, trans, and bi

[eclipseharts]

quick things to note about my portrayal (i’ll have a real doc when i feel like writing that character analysis): 

claude hates the gonerils. full stop. period. however he isn’t outwardly malicious to them because a) he values diplomacy within the alliance and b) he doesn’t want to out himself as half-almyran pre-time skip -- but he hates the gonerils. his friendship with hilda never goes any deeper than surface level tomfooleries

khalid is still a noble. his experience of almyra is vastly different than what cyril experiences. he’s ignorant due to his class and status -- he’s aware of what the gonerils and the church does to almyran children but to see it first hand really shakes him which leads to him actually despising the church of seiros. 

that being said, khalid may hate the church of seiros but he’s respectful of other people’s spiritual beliefs. he does believe that it’s important to have faith in somethings and also -- almyran and brigidian spirituality (as seen in the claude/petra supports) are not the same as fodlan religiosity. that being said -- he’ll never actually pray to the goddess but he does like to sing :) 

he’s not flirtatious -- he’s overfamiliar as a way to compensate for him ‘feeling suspicious’ (aka. the fear of being perceived as an outsider). he doesn’t actually flirt with people and i need to stress that. it can be read as flirtation but it really isn’t. he only actually flirts with a handful of people pre-ts, if you read his supports (no, hilda’s not one of them but i’ll explain that another day). 

khalid is tactical. he’s inviting people for teas and snacks as a way to get gossip because often times the gossip are political and it’s a way for him to understand the political climate in not just only the alliance better but also all of fodlan -- he is a very curious fellow afterwards! 

his wyvern he uses predominantly pre-time skip and right before he gets promoted to barbarossa is named diya, who he affectionately (and due to the fear of his heritage being outed) calls di. his white wyvern post timeskip is called faysal.

KHALID, OF ALMYRA | CLAUDE VON RIEGAN

Claude’s a common name in Fódlan. It’s just too dashing for new moms to pass up. It’s even a popular choice for fake names. Just a good, solid, all-purpose moniker, you know?

[eclipseharts]

read before interacting.

independent, selective, & mutuals only khalid von riegan blog. minors do not interact. 

01. please read this prior to any interactions we might engage in. i do not have passwords but i do trust you’ll at the very least read this. straight off the top of my head, i must make these points clear. 

i will call him khalid and claude interchangeably. they’re both his names. they’re both apart of his identity, therefore, i will make that clear in my interpretation. 

i interpret khalid as deeply loathing the gonerils. he is nice to hilda on a surface level, for diplomatic reasons. the gonerils took almyrans in as slaves, point blank -- khalid will not jive with that. that’s it. that being said, i’m willing to write with a hilda but i will be extremely picky on who i write with. 

my portrayal is not influenced by j/oe zi/eja at all. the voiceclaim i use is his seiyuu toyonaga toshiyuki.

02. this is a private blog, unaffiliated with the fe3h community. i had a couple blogs here before (one long term one) and quite frankly i’m tired. i love khalid and i wanna write him. if i follow you it’s because i’ve seen you interact with people who i know and trust. 

03. this should be a no brainer but absolutely no racism, cop apologism, ableism, incest apologism, pedophilia apologism is tolerated here. i do not tolerate anti black behaviours - i’m not black, i do what i can to be mindful but if i see anti black behaviours on the dash i will not hesitate to confront you or block you. if i see any kind of bigotryor questionable behaviours  i will block you. this includes shipping byleth and the students pre-time skip as well as dimigard. i don’t like student/byleth ships period. please at the very least tag them. 

04. my writing style is adaptable. i adapt usually to what my partner gives me. i don’t like one liners and i use minimal formatting + icons. do not use sub/sup + small text, i cannot read it and i will change your formatting. 

05. my portrayal is mostly based in verdant wind. however, i am willing to discuss with another edelgard-mun on how we could do a joint crimson flower route in which khalid has a more active role. i’m selective when it comes to azure moon based interactions and i do not acknowledge silver snow. 

06. in terms of shipping, i portray claude as bisexual. however, that doesn’t mean he’s easy to ship with but he’s a very good partner once they’re together. i like shipping but it requires buildup for me vs insta-shipping. if you’re interested don’t hesitate to let me know. however, with that in mind there are some people i don’t ship him with romantically: dimitri, hilda, ingrid, balthus, lysithea, leonie, byleth, any faculty members. my bias is with: edelgard, dedue, petra, lorenz, an raphael. 

07. i have decided, i will point blank not write any smut. however, other not safe for work material might appear and will be tagged accordingly. i will tag anything requested of me to tag. 

08. thank you for reading all this! i hope you have a good day. i’m gany. i’m chinese. i use she/her and he/him pronouns. i’m 21+ and i hope we can write together sometime!
