So 🤔 Rhea wrongly presumed members of the Western Church guilty, simply by association, and executed them without trial... Dimitri is doing the exact same with Edelgard. Edelgard is divisive and accused of being rash and too forceful. I really think Dimitri should be at LEAST as divisive!

Edelgard: "I already told you. I had nothing to do with that."

Honestly Sylvain has enough good ideas that he could have his own route at this point. Although, deciding between having to rein in Dimitri's bloodlust or Sylvain's regular lust (however genuine) would be a hard choice...

She's right. In fact, why don't we all join forces and clean this place up a bit?

First of all, WHY are we overthrowing the Empire? Wouldn't that just be putting everything back to how it was before?? Anyone here ever heard of diplomacy?? Or did Rhea not teach that either...

Starting a new thread (and maybe a new tag #fe3hposting) because wow the other one was LONG. And we hit the timeskip, so a good time to start fresh (I'd be curious on the translation here, though Dimitri's experiences do match what we describe today as clinical delusions)

Y'all I feel like I just cracked an ancient code "head, hands and heart" (the 3H model) is apparently a TEACHING thing. In FE3H. Where you teach people. And it has three house leaders, each with a respective theme that's common throughout their route It's 2026 and I JUST noticed this.

Screenshot from an article with the words "3H (Head, Heart and Hands)" highlighted. Full text is: "...would help teachers and the students they teach achieve their full potentials, and also some key characteristics that contribute to teachers and instruction effectiveness. This paper also attempts to highlight the features of 3H (Head, Heart and Hands) model in effective"

Beyond the question of humanity. He no longer considers *himself* human, after so long of deflecting Felix's comments. I guess he has nothing much to live for aside from his own sense of justice... or else acknowledge that everything up to this point was wrong.

After the timeskip now and this has gone from scary to pitiful. Definitely some confusion around reality with this one... so may not have been assumptions earlier as much as literal delusional symptoms and hallucinations...

His hypocrisy is also starting to make sense to me. He struggles to kill enemies, and feels guilty doing so, /when he sees their humanity/. An easy out is to consider them inhuman. /Then/ it's justified. Make them suffer and then crush their skulls I guess :) (I joke but this is a fascist tactic)

I saw this on a box in my seasonal pumpkin haul. I guess the result of a 2022 lawsuit was "instead of pulling these products, we'll just put a lead warning on them and that's fine." We live in a dystopia.

A wink and a nod to whichever script writer(s) decided that Sothis should speak primarily in iambs, and crafted her dialogue accordingly

Screenshot from Fire Emblem Three Houses of Sothis saying to Byleth: "This book is filled with secrets yet unknown. We must return another time to read the rest."

Additional dialogue from Sothis: "If turning back the hands of time was not enough to save his life, you must accept what came to pass was fate."
(Player choice: "It wasn't fate.")
"Control yourself. Though Jeralt's death sas at the hands of wicked ones, a fate is still a fate."
"Oh! Your father said to look for something here. He must have been referring to whatever is behind that bookcase there..."

I don't recall if I did this consciously in the fic or came to the same conclusion but YES her cloak she wears at present is ostensibly the *same one as before*, just with repairs and new parts woven in! (Also wow a few subtle outfit/hair changes really make her look youthful or older, depending)

Tumblr user dickgraysonptsd I LOVE YOU (/silly)

A screenshot of a Tumblr post. The first part reads "i think MORE characters should be rape survivors. i think more characters should be csa survivors. i think more characters should be dv survivors. i think strong and noble and attractive and charming and brilliant characters with indomitable spirits should be survivors. i think the most powerful characters in the world should be survivors. i think characters who are cultural icons should be survivors. i think victims and survivors should see ourselves in the most admirable and beloved characters around! i think we should be protagonists!!!"

There is an addition that reads "#‘it’s so unnecessary’ . okay . god yea this one drives me CRAZY. people will yap all day long about how it's "unnecessary" to make a character a survivor like do you think it was necessary for any of us to be abused or raped irl? was it narratively essential? did it teach the audience an important lesson? why do we, who have to justify our experiences and existences and reactions all the time in real life, also have to justify why we should exist in fiction? people act so repulsed by the thought of us. i've really fully and truly had enough of that. there is nothing so uniquely disgusting or repulsive or unspeakable about our victimhood or our survival that justifies this obsession with keeping the reality of our existence hidden"
