Hi! Same anon from before here I’m very glad my ask made you happy! I genuinely adore the raven poetry multiverse and get really excited every time you both post a new chapter and new art! Usually I’m not one for anything but oneshots but the story really got me! (Literally spinning all the universes around in my head like rotisserie chicken) is there any fun facts you’d like to share about any of the universes you haven’t gotten around to writing chapters for yet? (Without spoiling anything important obviously)
Ooooh That's a great question!!!! Lets see. @skeletinmoss and I do a few we want to share: -In one au Logan is a sugar daddy -Uncontrollably teleporting Remy is fun -And there is Tarot Remus. All his alters are a bit nuts, but he might be the nuttiest. (also in this one his boyfriend might be almost too much for him to handle but not more than he's willing to take) -The "No you" Janus ( no elaboration) -In one au Patton is trans and his hero name is an egg pun -Emile does standup in one that's fun -There is a very pretty glass manipulation power somewhere in there we are pretty excited about -not something for the future but we are both very fond of the karaoke stream. Just the online personality shenanigans in every au are so much fun. -Honestly i love how Remus is always the one with the least personal drama. He's just living his best life. Small exception in eclipse but that's not his fault -I am so soft for Roman hanging out with kids. If you guys aren't careful i'm going to drag that stuff out so much when i can. -I also look forward to every instance where Roman has to stand up for himself. He sometimes has a bad boyfriend, rival or ex and it always makes for such a great moment of prioritizing his well being over accomodating their needs. -all that good puppy Roman content. I am so open to you guys suggesting things to do with that whenever we write full moon -hehe Journalists being Roman's nemesis -Detective Logan being clueless to not so well kept secrets -And I can't wait what you'll guys will pick for our next project after we finish Raven poetry! We decided to let you guys pick.

Emils' New Throne
Tumblr media
Emils is a very efficient villain, waste not, want not! So of course he should take the occasion of having captured his nemesis to get a convenient, mobile throne, it's the efficient way! Having to… re-motivate her when she wavers is a bonus, really.

Introduction • Updated 22/02/24
Hi hey hello, this is Astra! Welcome to my Fallen London side blog, I’m new to the game with only one account so far, but I’ve played a good bit of Sunless Seas and am always interested in the lore. This blog is heavily focused towards OCs, both mine and others, as well as my personal liveblog of my playthrough! I’m working through a Nemesis route character as we speak, and will most likely work through all the routes eventually. My current playthroughs liveblog is under #low level liveblog if you’re curious. If you ever have questions about my characters or want to interact, shoot me an ask! I love talking and I love hearing about other people’s creations, my door is always open for such things :)
I’m a writer and digital painter, and am much more comfortable with more atmospheric / background work compared to portraiture! I also tend to make jokes that can lean in dirty directions, but I’ll be avoiding straight up NSFW images on this blog. There might be discussions of kink & sexual topics, but I’ll keep those tagged under #suggestive and they shouldn’t be too frequent. I’m also chronically bad at tagging spoilers or triggers, so please let me know if you need anything I will do my best.
Tumblr media
Characters & Character specific tags below!
Ambition Characters:
The Marked Examinant - August Shaw - #August Shaw
He/They - Mid 40s - Nemesis! - Investigator - Watchful | Dangerous
An investigator by trade, Shaw is a prickly character who has a mildly extreme obsession with the various languages of the Neath, a fascination that’s gotten them into a good deal of trouble… and left them with a few strange quirks. He's driven by the need to get revenge after his daughter’s death, and puts on a face of absolute pragmatism to do it. Unscrupulous at the best of times, he is damn good at his job, when he’s not chasing a bit of escapism by any means necessary. While they’re seemingly a complete hardass, Shaw does have a soft side for a few things: Namely, his assistant, and the urchins of the city.
The Reckless Playwright / The Penumbral Renegade - ‘B’ - #b
Any/They - Mid 20s - Hearts Desire - Actor/Playwright - Persuasive | Shadowy
B is an aspiring playwright and actor with their head in the non-existent clouds and a spring in their step. She always seems to be getting into a little bit of trouble, before charming his way out of it with a smile and a wide eyed look. Everything about their past is a bit of a mystery, though it can’t be denied that they have a good heart. While searching for cheap lodgings in London, B ended up with the (mis)fortune of becoming Shaw’s housemate and eventual investigative assistant. Their endless optimism hides a great deal of past horrors, as does their suitcase. They’re absolutely not wanted by the Navy, too. Don't know why I had to specify that.
The Pragmatic Headhunter - Vivian Fitzpatrick - #Vivian Fitzpatrick
She/He/They - Early 40s - Bag a Legend - Bounty Hunter - Dangerous | Watchful
Shaw’s Ex-wife who came down to the Neath after he abandoned her and their still living son. After murdering her (now probably ex-) husband, Vivian developed a taste for the Neath. Both for the power they could achieve, and for the thrill of the hunt and battle. More than anything, he wants to prove herself to be more than the grieving mother the surface wanted her to be - by becoming something more feared than death itself. Harsh and openly hypocritical, Vivian’s on the fast track to becoming something terrible - but the question is, will she be able to bury the last of herself to do it?
(WIP!) The Rake-In-Violant / The Malcontent Seamstress - Emile Rainier - #the rake in violant
He/She - Mid 20s - Light Fingers - ‘Socialite’ / Thief - Shadowy | Persuasive
By day, she’s a seamstress’s apprentice, shy and longing for more than her meager position will allow. By night, Emile becomes the Rake-In-Violant, a thief of hearts and less abstract possessions, a terror of high society that the foolish can’t help but come crawling back to. If you ask him, there’s nothing wrong with what he does, despite the broken marriages and scandal left in her wake. Hopefully no ‘once in a lifetime job to steal a massive diamond’ fundamentally scars him for life any time soon and changes that.
Non-Ambition Characters:
The Ravenous Acumen - #The Ravenous Acumen
It/She - ??? - Killer for Hire / Killer for Hobby - Shadowy | Dangerous
A mysterious figure with a deeply warped body and equally warped sense of morality. After Acumen’s own hubris cost her everything, it devoted itself to killing arrogant or naive researchers that play with things they don’t understand. There’s far worse fates out there then death, after all. It speaks in riddles, lives for games, and has a bizarrely tender affection for anyone who gains her favor.
The Phosphorescent Engineer - Officer Benedict Beverley - #Officer Beverley
He/Him - Mid-Late 20s - Chief Engineer @ The Grand Geode - Watchful | Persuasive
The hot shot engineer and golden boy of the Grand Geode, Beverley is a sequencer who’s best known for his wonderful designs of prototype dawnlight explosives. Utter bastard. He’s desperate to test them out and bring the dawn to the population of London, but he’s even more desperate to recover his lost prototype… and find his missing partner.
[Has a Sunless Skies verison - The Scintillating Harbinger!]
Side Game PCs:
(WIP!) The Everdrowned Reaver - Captain Verily - Sunless Seas PC - #Captain Verily
She/They/It - ??? - Captain of the Double or Nothing - Irons | Hearts
An undying captain who’s past shifts with the tides. Who is she? Why is she here? Why does the water never leave her lungs? Why does the sea keep spitting her back out?
(WIP!) The Wide-Eyed Venturer - Doctor-Captain Everett Shaw-Fitzpatrick - Sunless Skies PC - #Doctor Captain Everett
He/They - Early 30s - Captain of the Uncommon Denominator - Hearts | Mirrors
Shaw and Vivian’s son, who spent his teen years raised on stories of their adventures in the Neath. Now, he’s taken to the skies to make a story of his own, after a brief stint learning medicine in Vienna. He’s got all the smarts, but none of the cutthroat energy of his parents. What could go wrong?
Other Character Tags
Because I am desperately in love with themes and motifs, significant character relationships are tagged with these funny little monikers:
August Shaw & B - #Detective duo
A depressed detective set on revenge and a lost playwright drunk on freedom take up lodgings together. A strangely charged and mildly codependent friendship.
August Shaw & Vivian Fitzpatrick - #(un)loveable hand
The bloodthirsty wife he abandoned and the self flagellating husband she swore to surpass. Extremely complicated divorced couple who’ve changed in more ways than one.
The Shaw-Fitzpatricks (August, Vivian, Lenore, Everett) - #in the blood
A family charged with sorrow, who all seem to have a tendency to wield their pain like knives. General tag for the family’s background, themes, and vibes.
August Shaw & The Ravenous Acumen - #worst laid plans
An endless game of cat and mouse - or at least, it should be, provided the killer can get her chosen opponent to survive what’s coming. Psychosexual mind games, and weirdly supportive ones at that.
B & Officer Benedict Beverley - #best and brightest
Two best friends, perfect partners, who build a maddening machine. One chose their own ambition over the other’s safety - but who betrayed who is up for debate. Nostalgic longing, evil gay people, and worse (colonialism themes)
B & Emile Rainier - #red letter days
A pessimistic Rake and an optimistic Revolutionary. What could go wrong? …a lot of things, very quickly. A lighthearted odd-couple FWB relationship.
Vivian Fitzpatrick & Emile Rainier - #arsenic and old lace
Vivian is, without a doubt, the Malcontent Seamstress’s least favourite client. She knows it. A bizarrely antagonistic situationship, focusing in on envy and how rapidly gaining status can change people. Also evil women.
Doctor-Captain Shaw-Fitzpatrick & Skies!Beverely - #horseshoes and hand grenades
The most dangerous Captain of Her Majesty’s fleet… and the daredevil traveler that just can’t help but ruin his day. Frequently. Kind of a joke - some Wile E. Coyote and Roadrunner type shit until one of them gets feelings about it.

bug noire, monarch, bunnyx and purple tigress?
ML fighting Game arcade endings (Part 5)
Monarch’s Ending:
Monarch had risked everything in order to finally achieve his goal. Now he can have his wish. Finding out his nemesis was his son’s girlfriend was unexpected but a way that helped turn the tables for him.
He decided the perfect exchange, one family for another. The Dupain Cheng family was no more, Emile and Nathalie were alive. He was back to full health. The world was as it should be… but such wishes always had a cost.
Bug Noire’s ending:
Bug noire knew better than anyone that this situation had no winners. Bug Noire tried to work out a compromise, Gabriel could do something to fix things before the end. Unfortunately that would not be the case.
Bug Noire put an end to the Miraculized, freeing Paris. Adrien learned of his father’s fate along with Nathalie’s. It was a tough pill to swallow. Marinette ensured Adrien that he wasn’t alone and would never be again.
The miraculous restored, Marinette decided yo spread the miraculous out, it was time for a new age of heroes.
Bunnyx’s Ending:
Bunnyx had learned that messing with time always had consequences. But she would not sit idle as Monarch won.
She jumped into the fray and stopped him from getting his wish. It seemed that everything worked out in the end.
Her older self scolded her, saying she had messed with time. Bunnyx was ready to dismiss it, until she noticed her older self vanish. Bunnyx now needed to find out what went wrong, or she too would be history.
Purple Tigress’ ending:
Juleka never considered herself a strong person, often mumbling her thoughts and going with the flow. But she had a chance to change things.
She punched Monarch all the way across Paris! She was done letting others get pushed around. It was time for her to Roar!
Monarch was bested and purple Tigress shined like a star in Paris. Purple tigress became the voice of the weak and helpless. She was purple Tigress, hear her Roar!

Supreme Leader and her relationship to Billy and those icky and evil creatures with pointy ears, imo, can also be tied to Ashnard's so called glorious muhritocracy, on paper, the strong ones rule because they are strong enough not to rely on others?
But we're talking about the same guy who teamed up with Izuka and schemed to take down the Dragon Prince Rajaion, aka, who relied on some weak schmuck to take down a "strong one".
Just like Supreme Leader's Hero Nemesis, who "defeated" a sleeping Sothis - might makes right, even when your "might" is attested by killing a sleeping woman.
As you mentioned, Supreme Leader's entire "people should become independant and stop relying on gods" is hilarious in the context of Tru Piss, because it's only with the Goddess' help that she manages to survive the war and win (at least in FE16).
But I guess "pointy ears" don't count, just like Goldoa's dragons or Laguz in general : "might makes right, but when I talk about might, I talk about mine and yours is ignored if it's stronger than mine, or curbed down through dubious means".
Billy has leadership qualities, but can't be seen outshining Supreme Leader because she has to pretend to be the one in charge - where's the muhrit here? Why is she the leader and Emperor if there is someone more qualified or more competent at leader her army around?
You mentionned Billy's lack of titles/lands/responsabilities, but I will add : Billy, at least in the Emile ending, is the one who fights against TWSTD. Doesn't that warrant them something? No, they will keep on fighting until, well, idk. But they will not become a general, a legend or a hero (at least not in their ending cards on CF). Billy's blade (lolol) became legendary, but not themselves. They're nothing but the "wings" of the Hegemon, when in reality, they were the head, sword and shield.
I remember half-joking during the first years following the release with fans who argued that the Supreme Muhritocracy was the way to go (tm), if it was truly the case, then why Flayn and Seteth cannot rule over humans?
Flayn is, by nature, one of the best healers around, why is she banned from having "power over humans" and becoming, idk, a head nurse or a teacher in white magic? Seteth is the one running Garreg Mach, why shouldn't he be able to run another school/monastery?
Is it because muhrit - an entire subjective concept - is in itself, unfair when we consider that in Fodlan, some beings have more "power" than others? Rhea can jump 10 meters high, when Raphael with training would only be able to jump 3 meters high, who are you going to register to the olympics? Rhea or Raph? Dimitri can lift a cart with his pinky, Caspar needs the help of 5 randos, who will be called to lift a boulder ? Dimitri or Caspar?
It's a never ending circle - you cannot have muhritocracy if people with superpowers exist because they screw the rules by virtue of existing, so you have to exclude them even if, by all means, they have more muhrit than anyone else.
But if you do so, are you really advocating for a muhritocracy? Or are you just a hypocrite?
In a way, Supreme Leader's hatred for Nabateans can be explained by both fantastic racism, but also, the fact that their sheer existence ruins her rhetoric.
If every Nabatean (Nabatean blooded) disappears of Foldan and crusts disappear too, would the issue be solved?
Well, look at real life, muhritocracy, for a variety of reasons (schools, wealth, what to do with the 99% who didn't came first), never worked.
Much like Ashnard and Izuka, Supreme Leader needs "help/support" to bring down the ones who run contrary to her theories - but still preaches it even if she bends it whenever it comes to her.
But, really thinking about it, even by Edelgard's own ideals her rule should be illegitimate.
The whole idea is people need to not rely on others in order to be strong, and that those who are deemed strong should rule. But when you think about it with Edelgard, she does not meet that criteria. She gets support from TWSITD, and therefore aids their experiments as well as knowing what they did in order to weaken the Kingdom and Alliance. She needs the support of the Imperial armies that are not under the direct control of the Emperor, so she promises Count Berglitz control of the Alliance territories for his support. She needs someone like Ferdinand in order to make her ideals work, while also needing someone like Hubert to put down rebellions and any other threats to her regime from the shadows. Hell, she can't even win without Byleth supporting her where she takes credit for their leadership.
Now, people will cite her speech against Rhea as proof she grows beyond this mindset but that's not the case. The Japanese text for her solo ending uses the word independent in the context of people not relying on others, not that she brings them freedom, and even if she did grow out of those ideals that means she started a war and all the stuff before for ideals she abandons therefore calling the necessity of the war into question. She'll state the game's major thesis of working together at the end of Flower, but that goes against her own beliefs so she doesn't act on them.
And it's only in Azure Moon where those beliefs are properly explained, leaving the player ignorant of what she really thinks in Flower.
And even then, the fact is Edelgard only wins with Byleth's support. Byleth, the person who could take down Edelgard after her leadership cripples the army following Gronder with just the Church resistance forces and without the backing of any national army. Snow even makes the case that for all of Edelgard's talk of merit, Fodlan will have a leader based on merit when Byleth defeats her. By supporting Edelgard, you're undermining her very ideals. The principles she wants the world based on, which ironically would mean that Silver Snow is the route where Edelgard's merit is on full display. In the routes where's she's defeated, she falls based on her own merit with no support from the player. Supporting her undermines her cause.
Byleth supposedly has all this merit as a leader, yet Edelgard does not award them with any lands or titles. The only answer I can really think of is... well, Edelgard believes that Nabateans shouldn't have any power or authority over humans. She knows Byleth is of Nabatean descent. Basically, she ignores Byleth's merit and instead focuses on their bloodline. Their heritage. Byleth doesn't get to be a leader in her regime simply because Byleth is a Nabatean and therefore shouldn't have any power according to Edelgard.
Edelgard is racist towards Byleth at the end of Flower, while Hopes makes her admit that her being drawn to Byleth is simply her crest resonating with theirs. Somehow, a worse love story than Twilight.

Brandon De Wilde, Jean Arthur, Van Heflin, and Alan Ladd in Shane (George Stevens, 1953)
Cast: Alan Ladd, Jean Arthur, Van Heflin, Brandon De Wilde, Jack Palance, Ben Johnson, Edgar Buchanan, Emile Meyer, Elisha Cook Jr. Screenplay: A.B. Guthrie Jr., based on a novel by Jack Schafer. Cinematography: Loyal Griggs. Art direction: Hal Pereira, Walter H. Tyler. Film editing: William Hornbeck, Tom McAdoo. Music: Victor Young. 
The sexual tension between Shane (Alan Ladd) and Marian Starrett (Jean Arthur) is key to the texture and motivation of George Stevens's Shane. It's obvious from the moment when she watches him, shirtless and glistening with sweat, help her rather dull (and fully clad) husband, Joe (Van Helflin), uproot a tree stump, and it plays like a low bass note throughout the film, until it becomes the main reason why Shane feels he has to move on at the end. After all, he has just humiliated Joe by knocking him unconscious and taking on the role Joe assumes is his rightful one, thereby reducing him in the eyes of his wife and son, Joey (Brandon De Wilde). It also doesn't escape the notice of the bad guys, one of whom taunts Shane with the fact that Joe has a pretty wife. (The filters used on some of Arthur's closeups are a giveaway: She was 50 when she made Shane, her last film, but she's plausible as a character 10 or 15 years younger.) It's to Stevens's credit that he plays all of this as low-key as he does. It would have been much too easy to move the eternal triangle to the center of the film's structure. Shane is an intelligent film, though to my mind it gets a little heavy-handed with the introduction of the black-hatted Wilson (Jack Palance) as the potential nemesis to the knight errant Shane. As fine as Palance's performance is, I wish his character had been given a more complex backstory than just "hired gun out of Cheyenne." Otherwise, the screenplay by A.B. Guthrie Jr. does a fair job of not making its villains too deep-dyed: The chief tormenter of the sodbusters, the cattleman Rufus Ryker (Emile Meyer), is given a speech justifying himself as having gotten there first and settled the land -- we haven't yet reached the point in historical consciousness where the claims of the Native Americans are taken seriously. And Shane's first opponent, Chris Calloway (Ben Johnson), eventually has a change of heart -- not an entirely convincing one to my mind, considering Calloway's behavior in his first encounter with Shane -- and warns Shane that Joe's appointment with Ryker is a trap. Stevens uses Jackson Hole, Wyoming, almost as effectively as John Ford used Monument Valley, and Loyal Griggs won a well-deserved Oscar for his cinematography, even if Paramount's decision to trim the original images at top and bottom to make the film appear to have been shot in a widescreen process resulted in some oddly cropped compositions. Shane is undeniably a classic, but I think it takes itself a little too seriously: The great Western directors, like Ford and Howard Hawks, knew the value of a little comic relief, but in Shane even Edgar Buchanan plays it straight.

It be funny if Emilie didn’t question Gabriel becoming supervillain. Aren’t all CEOs basically super villains? If anything Emile should be disappointed with how cliche it was for Adrien’s own sad to be his nemesis.
Emilie: Tell me...did he at least have a cool costume?
Adrien: ...

DC Cinematic Universe Pitch
For the last several months, I have been working through the various DC heroes and their villains, discussing movie ideas and coming up with possible plans for how a movie universe could incorporate all of their most important characters naturally. I now have a full plan, which I will be presenting day by day until we reach the finale, starting with:
PHASE ONE
WONDER WOMAN*
While pursuing a dangerous terrorist, Captain Steve Trevor and his team stumble upon a lost island, the home of the Amazons of ancient Greek myth.
Starring:
Princess Diana/Wonder Woman – Princess of the island of Themyscira
Captain Steve Trevor – Captain of a special forces unit tracking the Baroness
Baroness Paula von Gunther – A dangerous international terrorist
Queen Hippolyta – Queen of Themyscira and mother of Diana
Barbara Ann Minerva – A scientist and member of Steve Trevor’s team
Doctor Poison – A chemist developing a biological weapon for the Baroness
Donna Troy – Diana’s adopted little sister
Etta Candy – The communications officer of Steve Trevor’s team
Nubia – An Amazon and guardian of the Doors of Death
What do you think? Would you watch it? Who would you cast in the principal roles?
*Title is subject to change and open to suggestions.

"Maurice’s deeds were so hideous that the truth of his actions couldn’t be hidden" THATS IT THATS IT thats what ive been trying to put into words. ive always seen maurice as 3h's narrative justification for rheas coverup, to show what wouldve happened if she hadnt hidden the crimes of the elites. its why mariannes paralogue is one of the most important for world building, and really builds up the greyness of rheas actions. like yeah, she lied, but heres what would happen if she didnt
Yep!
Marianne's paralogue is relevant in the story for 2 reasons.
First, is to depict what would have happened to the children and descendants of the Elites if Rhea didn't conceal "da truth". Marianne pays for the sins of Maurice.
Second, but tied to the first, is to show how Fodlan's humans are... kind of assholes? Like, they wouldn't hesitate to demolish a restaurant if it serves a cooking from a country that just declared war on another. Marianne is Marianne, she talks to animal and has never done anything worthy of being ostracised, but because she "might" turn into a monster and her crest is "cursed", she's shunned by the world.
Would those people also join the BESF claiming Rhea is actually a Monster and needs to die because she has pointy ears?
And yet, even in Asshole Fodlan (tm), a random, Margrave Edmund, helps her. He hides her crests and, in the routes where she's recruited, becomes a splendid orator and works/uses her talents to help people/her country, without the power of her crest.
Still, for one Magrave Edmund, we had 56 randoms who shunned and threw rocks at Marianne and her family, for sharing Momo's blood.
Another strike at crest system
Back to Momo, other friends already explained the general nastiness of turning into a beast in buddhism - and Momo becomes one. Yes, it is because he abused his shiny weapon, and might be some karmic retribution for everything he did leading to the obtention of said shiny weapons - but bar becoming a physiological beast? Momo sided with the King of Liberation, and asks to be "liberated". No matter how hard FEH tries to retcon Momo, guy knew Nemesis was the king of "giving death", highly regards him and has no afterthought about the massacre of Zanado (if he had been there or not ? but generally, the butchering of Nabateans).
Marianne expresses compassion, in her paralogue, but compassion does not mean forgiveness (see Mercie and Emile in AM) - even if the game is really vague about what Momo should be forgiven for, only giving an infodump at the end of VW.
Should Rhea have lied to humans, or should she have told them the truth and let them turn Felix in a Marianne?
Who is truly responsible for the situation that needed Rhea's band-aid "lies" to be repaired ?
That's why I can't seriously take Woobie!Marianne (Marion) or anyone who says they like Marianne, but insists on parroting everywhere how Rhea "created" the "crest SyStEm" by hiding the truth.
It's like someone saying they love France but don't love cheese, it doesn't make any sense.
Edit : Funny to note how VW is the route where the usually route locked paralogues, Momo and Claude's, kind of tease why Rhea lied as she did about the origins of crests.
Birdie pretends to be the mortal enemy of the Elites and their descendants, because of what the Elites did, even if Claude never met Riegan or told him to slaughter Macuil's baby bro to make a shiny bow. Macuil, just like the humans throwing rocks at Marianne, can't make a difference between what the Elites did and what their children are.
Marianne's situation is born because humans follow Macuil's reasoning.
But sure, tru piss is the route where everything is revealed

I guess Emil Eagle is one of those rare characters who pretty effortlessly cross over from Duck Comics to Mouse Comics and back? I mean I’d have trouble placing him squarely into either category?

OwO, hello, I have been summoned~?
I have many questions but to keep it brief... how does A'rachk feel about R'oa'k being the retainer of his nemesis' son? (Optionally, you could include Kierron's reaction too.)
OHH OKAY
----
Past NRC , A'rachk more or less forgets his grudge toward Kierron. Especially considering he no longer lives in the hive , loving a life outside of the deadrealm. And when Melanie scouted R'oa'k out with the help of Emile and Song Fenhua he was really only surprised.
A'rachk is proud of his daughter, and the obdura hive is surprised, elated and relieved that an obdura has been so widely well received in the palace staff. Especially as a young prince's advisor/retainer. And kierron is a bigger softie than you'd expect in the second gen au , with his specific spouse and mother, sirena being revived being the primary reasons.
The bestiore emperor is a kinder ruler than his father, and like his wife, is aiming to repair the damages that his father had caused.

So, I’m going to put together a sorta of wishlist for Three Hopes. Feel free to add your own.
1) It’s going to be revealed that yes, the Slithers used Ionius in order to mold Edelgard to fit their designs. Her ultimate flaw is going to be addressed, it’s not just about her being too stubborn to change but rather an unwillingness to challenge the narrative she has been given by her father.
2) It’s going to be revealed that Hubert was a Slither plant himself. Edelgard’s Pan, but he ultimately sides with Edelgard over Thales due to love. However...a major problem is that he does believe in this other goddess and his ideology is based on what she taught. If anything, part of the reason why he loves Edelgard and sides with her over Thales is the fact she’s the one meant to kill Rhea. She’s the strong one, and Slither beliefs idolize strength.
3) It’s going to be revealed that, yes, Rhea is Edelgard’s ancestor. Edelgard will take up this legacy along with her new axe, Edelgard being a new Saint or stomthing..
4) Claude’s real name is spoken.
5) Nemesis as a Lu Bu-type character. Like, until late game if he shows up avoid him at all costs.
6) Justice for Duscur. Like, full-on Edelgard seeing what happened there and that there is no way she can claim it has nothing to do with her.
7) Rhea supports with the lords. Like talking to Dimitri why she ended up supporting Loog’s rebellion, discussing ideals with Claude and awkward family bonding with Edelgard.
8) Add-on to point 2: When Edelgard switches sides, Hubert can’t stand it. He refuses to join Rhea, and just lashes out that Edelgard isn’t the person he idealized her as. He talks about how she has become weak and betrayed him.
9) Maybe have a bit where Mercedes manages to reach through to Emile. Like, maybe he could sacrifice himself towards the end, but it’s done to protect her just like how the Death Knight personality originally broke out to defend her from his father.
10) Time manipulation BS that results in fighting against both a post-CF Edelgard but a Hegemon Husk Edelgard.

Thinking bout,,, a remile super hero vs super villain au with hero Remy who got into it because of his triplet brothers (Remus and Roman) who are Super Competitive Heroes and then villain Emile who is actually more steal from the rich give to the poor and also Attacking Bad People and is Remy's nemesis
Like,,, the dynamic. PERFECT
And their civilian lives probably know each other two and have Lowkey Crushes like idk maybe Emile's office is right by Remy's coffee shop and they see each other every day
BONUS POINTS if either one secretly knows the other's identity OR if one or both of their sidekicks (maybe,,, Janus for Emile and Logan for Remy cos Those Dyamics) knows the identities and is keeping it a secret
