#Emmrich Spoilers

this shit is so funny

[darkurgediaries]

If you haven't watched his romance scene without the music on yet, you're missing out on Emmrich MOANS. It's causing me to pass away.

Given how spite reacts to Manfred disappearing just... imagining how he would react to rook being missing. Just demanding over and over "where. Is rook." Y'know...his favorite... Lucanis having to answer that question over and over again as the weeks go by... yeah

My favourite thing about Emmrich is that he’s pretty fucked up and it wouldn’t be a stretch to suspect he uses his work with the Mourn Watch to deal with it. Many of the funeral professionals I’ve worked with (myself included) were drawn to the work in the first place by their own experiences with death or other traumatizing experiences: a profound loss, wanting to understand and not fear mortality, feeling like they owe this service to society etc. Things that go beyond a morbid fascination with death (though there’s that too.)

It’s taking your fear and grief and sadness and turning it into something useful so you can help people navigate the baffling variety of emotions that death drags along with it because you’re intimately familiar with them yourself.

Besides, you can’t let your own fears and traumas overwhelm and break you when you’re too busy taking care of people who are counting on you to take care of them. Unfortunately that means you’re also not actually ever confronting those fears and traumas either, but hey… it’s safe.

“I’m grateful it returned what’s most dear to me.”

“I did have someone to come back to.”

I bet that if Emmrich and Rook had a fridge, it would be covered completely with all sorts of stuff related to Manfred. Like his first test passed, his first written text, his learning schedule, memory cards with words etc.

Change my mind.

I’m coping okay

I put together all the Emmrich cutscenes for his quest, main story and romance. I also included whatever party banter (there’s so much Emmrich x Lucanis banter) I could find. It came out to around 3 hours and 13 minutes. I’m not sure if it’s because Emmrich loves to talk or not. I’m planning to do Davrin next and see, but Lucanis was around 1 hour and 36 minutes 🥲 I don’t understand why they sleep on some characters and give others plenty of content. Regardless, I was happy with Emmrich’s romance. It was so sweet and I loved that you could at least ask his favourite colour 💕

i need to see more fics exploring emmrichs fear of death (i might just do it)

it doesn’t go away, it’s a very hard fear for for many to get over. but imagine a rook who’s not afraid of death. who knows that yes, their time will ultimately come to a close. but their not afraid of it. who knows that they (at least consciously) will stop existing, but not being afraid of the dark, because no matter how they lived they lived a life they worked for. when it came to making the choice each morning they woke up, they chose to live. their not afraid of the time they wont have with emmrich, but rather the time they do have. the precious sanctity of morality that leaves each moment engrained in their brain to replay for the time when he is gone. that death is just a physical change, and that the emmrich will continue to live on not only in their memories, but the actions and effects he’s had on others.

to see emmrich come to a comfort with that, with their lack of fear. not a rook who chases a death with risk, but a rook who looks at deaths grace and replies “your just on time” as they gently take their hand.

as someone who’s in the death investigation field/education, i cannot imagine how emmrich feels being afraid of death in a mortuary practice. im well aware of it in its most brutal forms, and have never had the fear (even as a wee lad), but i think their is some relief knowing you have a partner who can look at the fear you have, look it dead in the eyes, and say hello.

I’m thinking about this constantly

[juneiper-art]

Extremely funny that when you find Hezenkoss' list of ppl to get revenge on and Emmrich's name is on the list he's like: of course 😔 then you read Manfred's name and Emmrich is like: 😦 how dare she

[chocoboyjames]

I am genuinely curious.

And if you'd like you can explain your votes in the reactions <3

Aside from Manfred one of the reasons I redid my Emmrich choice is because lich can't feel temperature. Which means he wouldn't be able to feel the warmth of Rook's skin and that tore me up a bit too much I tell you hwat
