#We are a very small blog..

[nithica]

iiii wannaaaaa talk about something. i have opinions. so ok here goes and please,,,, i’m just sharing my perspective and i don’t want to shade anyone so don’t take it personally :(

but i’ve noticed that a lot of people want to find a community here, they want to find friends and maybe even validation and that’s totally normal. we’re a social species, and it’s also normal to have your own group of friends whom you mostly interact with.

but if you want a community, and if you have a voice in that community especially, you also have a part to play in making that inclusive and welcoming to all. whether you want to be in that position or not, it’s just simple math that someone with 3000 followers has a bigger impact on a community than someone with 100.

and as someone with a small blog (~100 followers), it can be hard to get interaction at all. now, this post isn’t for me, because i’m here to yap and do my thing and i genuinely could not care less if my kashima fic gets 15 notes or 150, as long as i have my little people in my phone and a space to out my silly little thoughts; but regardless, i AM familiar with how hard it is to get any interaction whatsoever besides mutuals and i know that unlike me, there are people out there who DO find this hard and struggle with that fact. so this post is more for them.

no one is obligated to interact with anyone. absolutely not. but something’s been bugging me here about this topic. if you want a community to be inclusive and welcoming, you have to actually put work into creating that space.

that means that sometimes you will have to step out of your own bubble to support, either people you don’t know, characters you don’t know nor care about, or even WLW ships when you’re straight, or on the other end, straight ships when you’re queer.

i know that i yap a lot and talk to everyone whether i know them or not, and maybe some people are uncomfortable with this, but i’d rather those people block me than that there are people out there who feel like they are excluded from “my” community (“my” because, i don’t know if i’m in one lmao), because they don’t have many friends (yet) and don’t get any interaction.

those people will, eventually, inevitably, stop trying to be a “part” of this community because, well, they don’t feel like they are part of it.

maybe i’m harsh i don’t know, but i think sometimes we kind of lose track of what a community is.. or what it means to be in one. some people have to try really hard to get even 5 notes on here at all, and they aren’t any less part of the community, but they probably don’t feel that way. so idk i think if you want to be in one you also have to try your best to actively make people feel included and WELCOME most of all (again, outside of your own bubble).

ANYWAY IM JUST YAPPING SORRY.

eastern thanalan - camp drybone

camp drybone lives up to its name: it's dry as a bone. rocky and arid despite its proximity to the twelveswood, the sparse trees offer little in the way of protection from the sun's rays. the fauna are hardy and mostly uninterested in wanderers, but one ought to be aware of amalj'aa presence in the area.

when it rains the water rushes down the gullies in a flood, earth too dry to absorb the excess - but with the dawn it's burned away, drifting in a haze anywhere the newly risen sun doesn't touch.

note for the future: can recommend the sunway for easy foot travel, but suggest sturdy, breathable shoes. perhaps an umbrella.

I’ve been insanely motivated for art fight this year, and I know it’s still only in the first week but I’m hoping I’ll be able to keep this motivation even when I’m back at work!

Hello! I hope that you are doing well!

I just wanted to send you a question regarding the amount of power Rhea has in Fódlan since something came to my mind. You know how during Edelgard's coronation, she said to her father that, "The Archbishop of the Church of Seiros would normally act as witness, but my professor will fill that role instead"?

Unless I missed something [or am overthinking], do you believe that Rhea was even there to witness Ionius' coronation?

We were told in the game that it had been ages since a member of House Hresvelg enrolled into the Officers Academy as well as that there had recently been a rift between the Adrestian Empire and the Church of Seiros.

Therefore, to me at least, that implied that said rift had been going on for a while. And I do not see why they would allow her there if such a thing was going on. Yet, Rhea does not retaliate against this as far as I know. Then there is the fact that Edelgard is allowed to be coronated without Byleth's presence. The Southern Church was dismantled, too, so…I think it is safe to say that there was not an official to witness her from there as well. lol

To put it simply, it feels very contradictory to me and adds a crack into the "Rhea controls Fódlan" perspective.

Hi!

I agree, that NPC going all "the empire and hthe church cut ties eons agao that's why supreme leader is the first imperial heir to attend since ages" suggests Rhea wasn't very welcomed in Enbarr.

FWIW the Nopes book about the Southern Church incident reveals the Emperor of that time already wanted to cut ties with the Central Church - and used this rebellion (which was more or less a Varley daughter wanting to have a role instead of letting her bother inherit everything?) as an excuse to finally give them the boot.

In a nutshell, I heavily doubt Rhea was around when Ionius was coronated, if her Church was already "not welcomed" by the time the Southern Church was disbanded.

The Archbishop acting as witness might be just some sort of old ceremonial thing, just like the "covenant of the red blood and the white sword", maybe all coronations try to renact the "oath" Wilhelm took/swore to Seiros when she presumably made him Emperor of Adrestia? And the Archbishop acts as a stand in for Seiros (even if we know better!) when the oath is sworn again by Willy's descendants?

As you pointed out, the Archbishop being present or not is merely decorum, since nowhere the game suggests that in the non-CF routes, Supreme Leader's coup coronation isn't regular or anything.

Rhea controlling Fodlan isn't backed up by canon, Adrestia has been doing its own thing for several centuries, the CoS only provides help (the game doesn't tell us what it is!) to Faerghus : Dimitri becomes King not because Rhea crowns or splashes oil on him, but because he is the Crown Prince and the last heir of the previous King. As for the Alliance, it does its own thing without her input!
