#Free Spirit (Hilda)

[armatization]

@tsundeoku :3c.

Hilda’s phone buzzed rather insistently. She didn’t need to look at the screen to know who it was. She knew he totally had her schedule memorised, which was embarrassing, because she didn’t know her schedule.

“Hey Holst,” she said in a chirpy bright voice. Her heels clicked on the concrete floor with every step, echoing in the empty hall. The acoustics in here were worse than her dorms, which was saying something.

“Listen, I can’t really talk. I’m so tired today - um, yes, my classes were long today!” They weren’t. It was an hour long class before lunch, then lunch with Marianne (which she posted on Instagram), before another class before she was released.

“Yes, my hallway has always been this echoey! Jeez, it's like you don't listen to me.” She knew she couldn't keep it secret forever, but she could lie her way through it until they grew bored of each other. The only real end to this thing she had.

“So, anyway, I'm gonna go lie down, take a nap, then I'm gonna study.” No, she'd pay some kid to help her cheat her way through her classes. What was she doing exactly? Oh, never mind; she didn't even want to go to college. It was Holst's idea. “I'll speak to you tomorrow, okay? Promise!”

A promise Holst upheld for her whether she liked it or not.

As soon as he was gone, she groaned. She grabbed her pocket mirror and checked herself out. Her makeup was still perfect, her smile was still bright. She was undeniably hot, and she knew he wouldn't be able to keep his hands off her. That was the plan anyway.

She adjusted her top, and her skirt, and opened the door. It wasn't locked; he knew she'd be coming. The smell of his shitty apartment hit her nose immediately. It smelled of stale beer, and musk. She hated it, and she sort of hated herself for liking him so much. She shut the door behind her before leaning against it.

“Hey Baltie,” she purred. “Did you miss me?”

Do ot3s count as rarepair? if they do, dimimarihilda, 'with not wanting to lose each other in a big crowd' hand holding

I personally consider all OT3 to be rare ships. Yay another chance to write these three!!!

--

With hundreds of people flocking to Gloucester for Lorenz’s wedding tomorrow, Hilda wasn’t surprised to see the market so crowded. Everywhere she looked, merchants were trying to sell last minute wedding gifts or tickets to “front row seats” at the ceremony-- tickets that didn’t exist, Hilda knew. Lorenz had carefully arranged the first few rows for friends and family. He had carefully arranged every aspect of his wedding. Except for, apparently, the Gloucester market.

Hilda quickly became aware of Marianne gripping her right hand and turned to smile at her lover. “Is it too much?” Hilda asked, raising her voice to be heard over the cacophony.

“N-No. I just don’t want to lose you and Dimitri.” 

On Hilda’s other side, Dimitri-- traveling “incognito” in a greyish cloak-- nodded at Marianne’s words. “I would hate to lose either of you in this crowd. Especially as I’ve never been here before.”

But Hilda waved that concern away. “We’ll stop up traffic if we all hold hands. Just stick with me, Marianne. We can’t lose a mountain like Dimitri in a place like this.” She swung their clasped hands with a grin. Dimitri rolled his eyes at the term even as Marianne giggled. 

The trio continued through the market. Part of the mission was to show Dimitri all the delicacies unique to Gloucester, and the other part-- the more fun part to Hilda-- was finding matching Gloucester-made accessories for the three of them to wear at the wedding. 

An hour into their adventure, Marianne located a promising stall. Hilda picked up a rose hair pin and held it out with her free hand. “What do you think, Dimitri?”

There was no reply. 

The left side of Hilda was unoccupied, which should never happen. Hilda looked around but couldn’t spot a blond head looming above the mass of people. “Marianne, where’s Dimitri?” She asked, pushing aside panic.

Marianne put down a rose brooch and turned in place, keeping a tight hold on Hilda’s hand. “He didn’t mention going to look at anything...”

Hilda cursed and pulled Marianne away from the stall. She mentally swore to never mock Dimitri’s stupid disguise ever again-- apparently a simple cloak was powerful enough to make even the King of Faerghus disappear. 

Luckily, it only took a few moments for Marianne to call out, “There!” and point down the line of stalls. Following her finger, Hilda could just make out a one eyed man in a grey cloak shaking hands with a grateful looking teenage boy. With strength Hilda kept forgetting she possessed, Marianne pulled Hilda down the lane toward the pair.

Dimitri beamed when he saw them. “There you two are! I was just helping this young man back to his family and when I turned around--”

He cut himself off when Marianne grabbed his hand. Hilda and Dimitri both watched in silence as Marianne closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She let it out, and smiled at the teen. “Are you alright?” She asked calmly.

“Am now, thanks to this one!” The stranger nodded to Dimitri. 

“Good. Then if you’ll excuse us...” 

Hilda took that as her cue and marched away, with Marianne tugging Dimitri along behind. “I thought we did not want to block the way?” Dimitri asked, sounding puzzled but not letting go of Marianne.

“Worth it,” Hilda stated. “And next time you wander away like that, at least take the hood off!”

Marianne laughed even as the confusion on Dimitri’s face deepened. And together, hand in hand in hand, they continued their Gloucester market adventure.

SEPFEMBER 2024 PROMPTS LIST

HERE WE ARE! AT LONG LAST! THE MOMENT YOU'VE ALL BEEN (HOPEFULLY) WAITING FOR! GIRL MONTH!

I honestly can't believe this is actually happening. This event was a shower thought a few months ago.

Here's a recap of the event: to participate, make at least one fanwork of any variety during September that features a woman or women from the Zelda franchise as the main character/s. All Linksmeets are welcome in this challenge, as well as general LoZ fans!

Before I drop the prompts list for those who are looking for a little direction, I'd like to mention that I have made an AO3 COLLECTION FOR THIS EVENT. It's open and unmoderated so you can add your works to it freely. And if you post on tumblr, please tag #sepfember !! I'll be scrolling through the tag every day looking for things to reblog and gush about 👀

If you have any questions at all about this event, or you want to chat about it, my askbox is open! I will also respond to comments and reblogs of this post.

Now, onto the prompts. Disclaimer: you DON'T have to use all/any of these prompts, or only create things for certain characters on their featured day. This list is just a GUIDE for those who want it. If you have other plans, go with your heart!

At the end of the day, this is a celebration, and all that matters is that you have fun. I hope some of you will join me next month in giving our girls some time in the spotlight, but if you can't, that's okay! There's no pressure! This is just a passion project of mine, really, and I am overjoyed that people are interested 💛💛💛

[tokiro07]

With Zelda finally taking on the hero role and my speculation goggles firmly adhered to my eyeballs, I find myself asking an interesting question: what if each Princess Zelda had a title the way that each Link does?

Skyward Sword: For her status as the Goddess Hylia reborn, Princess Zelda the Divine

Minish Cap: For the strong concentration of the Light Force she holds within her, Princess Zelda the Radiant

Four Swords: For her lovely visage that bewitched even the wizard Vaati, Princess Zelda the Beautiful

Ocarina of Time: For the seven years she spent training, biding her time and preparing to overthrow Ganondorf, Princess Zelda the Patient

Link to the Past/Echoes of Wisdom: For her ingenuity and clever use of magic to personally face the Demon King, Princess Zelda the Wise

Oracle of Ages/Seasons (if taken to be a different Zelda from LttP OR if EoW is a different Zelda after all): For the faith and optimism she inspires in her people, Princess Zelda the Hopeful

Link Between Worlds: For the magnanimity shown in forgiving her captor, Princess Hilda the Fallen, and bestowing upon her a miracle of the Triforce, Princess Zelda the Loving

Zelda 1: For her great fortune in finding the Hero who not only saved the kingdom in its darkest hour but also revived the slumbering princess, Princess Zelda the Blessed

Adventure of Link: For her great tragedy in being put to eternal sleep by her own family, Princess Zelda the Accursed; alternatively, for the love shown in preserving her body and memory for all time, Princess Zelda the Treasured

Twilight Princess: For the grave choices she bore upon her shoulders, sacrificing her pride to protect her people and offering her life to save another, Princess Zelda the Resolute

Four Swords Adventure: For her trust in her allies and commitment to cooperation, Princess Zelda the Harmonious

Wind Waker: For her rebellious spirit and rejection of both tradition and throne, Tetra the Free

Spirit Tracks: For her proactivity to save her own kingdom and the bravery to face her greatest fears, Princess Zelda the Spirited

Hyrule Warriors: For her bravery to fight amongst the vanguard and power to vanquish her enemies single-handedly, Princess Zelda the Mighty

Breath of the Wild: For her stoic dedication to her research, Princess Zelda the Studious

There might be better titles I could have chosen, and some iterations of Zelda really didn't give me much to work with in the first place, but this is definitely something I'd like to see explored in canon if for no better reason than to help differentiate them aside from saying "the Zelda from such and such game"

I'm particularly proud of the Zeldas of 1 and 2 being the Blessed and the Accursed, if they got their own game I think that would be a very fun angle to approach their comparisons, contrasts and dynamics from

Hug the Scares Away

Request: Fanfic for caregiver Wilbur and fem!regressor reader for anon

Heavily apologise for this taking so long!! Only recently got the motivation to finish writing this fic!!

I made a mini reference to my other fic Baking Mishap. Can you spot it?

Summary: Wilbur and Y/N decided to watch a show while they were hanging out, but Y/N has a slip so now their plans had to change a little

Word count: 764

Wilbur and Y/N sat quietly on the sofa, occasionally commenting and making fun of the little plot holes and mistakes that were left in the show they were watching, Squid Game. Like how in the scene where Gi-hun bumped into Sae-byeok, the latter’s actor was laughing, and in one of the lunch scenes the actor of the main character scooped up nothing and put the empty spoon in his mouth (pls it’s very funny). 

Wait, but how did they get here? Well, when Wilbur decided to invite his little cupcake over, Y/N couldn’t say no to spending time with her favourite caregiver. It was the evening and they both wanted to do something more chill, being tired out from the fun they had earlier that day. How they chose the show? Well it was trending, and Tommy seemed to like it, and they trusted his opinion. And he was right! It was definitely pretty good. Maybe a bit sensitive but it was alright.

It was… something… to binge watch an entire season of gore and blood, especially since it would take up most of the two's day. It was fine, it was the weekend, and they didn't have any extra plans for it. Well, they didn't watch the ENTIRE thing. There was a bit of a… slip?

Y/N squeaked in fear at the sound of the gunshot, hiding away in her caregivers arm. Wilbur immediately took notice of the change in behaviour, pausing the show as fast as possible so the little one didn't have to be scared anymore. Y/N whimpered as he pulled her closer.

"Cupcake, what's wrong?" He rubbed her back gently. "Was the show too scary for you?" He spoke gently. Y/N nodded as she curled into his embrace. Wilbur softened. "What would cheer you up? Cuddle time with Mr Waffles?" He gently held up a little blue dragon plush and smiled softly. Y/N immediately made grabby hands towards the plush and cuddled it close once it was in her hands.

Wilbur grabbed the remote and switched over to Netflix Kids. He put on a cute children's show called Hilda, a young and free-spirited adventurer that moved from the wilderness to the bustling city. Y/N was immediately entranced by all the sweet looking characters, eyes following the very bouncy weather lady. Figuring that she would be okay on her own for a few minutes, Wilbur got up and headed to the kitchen, pulling out some leftover chocolate chip cookies that Tubbo and Ranboo had baked him from the fridge. They were shockingly decent. He put the cookies on a glass plate and placed it in the microwave to heat up.

Wilbur tapped his foot as the microwave hummed, peeking out of the kitchen as he heard the silly lines from the bird, followed by joyful giggles from the girl on the sofa. The microwave beeped not long after, and Wilbur pulled out the now warm cookies. He quickly looked out to observe Y/N. Her speech seemed to be fine, albeit higher pitched and maybe a bit lacking in usual vocabulary, and she seemed to understand what the weather spirits were saying. He took a guess that she was possibly around 7-12 years old. He grabbed some milk from the fridge and poured it into a plastic cup before bringing the snacks back to the living room.

"I have cookies and milk!" Wilbur said, placing them on the coffee table in front of the sofa. "But we have to share, okay?" Y/N nodded in understanding.

"Alfred can have some!!" She smiled. Wilbur furrowed his brows in confusion but smiled fondly anyway.

"Alfred?"

"The elf!!" She giggled.

"Ohh, the elf!" Wilbur played along. "One of the little men that I can't see, right?"

"Mhm!" Y/N picked up a cookie and broke off a small-ish piece, placing it on the table for the 'elf' to eat. Wilbur just sighed, knowing he'd have to clean that later. The two continued watching the show, the girl giggling happily as she ate her cookies. Wilbur let her take most of them.

Eventually, Wilbur felt a weight on his shoulder. Looking down, he saw the little sleeping softly against him, hugging Mr Waffles close. He smiled and gently moved Y/N so that she was lying comfortably on the cushions of the sofa. He turned the TV off and put a blanket over the sleeping girl. He switched the lights off for the living room and headed to the office in his home.

"Sleep well, my little Cupcake."

[blehbet-arts]

Hi! I know it's old, but I just stumbled upon your fe3h x genshin au recently. It seems really interesting, so I was wondering if you could elaborate some of the lore 👉👈

oh!! of course!!

this will be a lil long because of how character focused it is, so feel free to look at whichever one interested you the most. the yapperning, shall now commence :3

Byleth Eisner - ☆☆☆☆☆

Vision: Anemo Delusion: Pyro Weapon Type: Sword Region: Sumeru (formerly Snezhnaya) Affiliations: The Akademiya, (formerly the Fatui)

An ex high ranking Fatui officer, Byleth escaped the clutches of the Fatui upon the discovery that their father was killed by one of the Fatui Harbingers (feel free to guess who did it...). Finding easy mercenary work in Sumeru, they worked their way up from an escapee to a trusted hired sword for the Akademiya. On request, they're also willing to teach scholars basic combat. Because of them and their strange, but effective teaching methods, there's unsubstantiated rumours flying around that the Sages are considering the implementation of a new Darshan.

Currently in their possession is the Sword of the Creator, a heroes' relic passed down into their grasp from civilisations of old - an object in which they stole in the midst of their retreat.

Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd - ☆☆☆☆☆

Vision: Cryo Weapon Type: Polearm Region: Snezhnaya Affiliations: The Fatui

Adopted by the Tsaritsa under mysterious circumstances, Dimitri was raised in accordance of the Fatui's ideals. Growing up to be a capable fighter, he'd then take on the role as one of the Tsaritsa's military generals and plays a critical role in her personal vanguard. As of now, he is currently on the hunt for traitors of the Fatui, and that just so happens to include a certain professor...

Currently in his possession is Areadbhar, a heroes' relic once wielded by upstanding Khaenri'ahn soldiers. It was given to him by the Tsaritsa.

Edelgard von Hresvelg - ☆☆☆☆☆

Vision: Pyro Weapon Type: Claymore Region: Mondstadt Affiliations: Knights of Favonius, (Khaenri'ah)

Born and raised amidst the Mondstadtian uppercrust, Edelgard has led an uneventful life as a Knight of Favonius. However, beneath this seemingly unshakable visage is a secret that even she is yet to fully grasp. In her spare time, she can often be found surveying ruins, most of which have been prescribed to the ancient civilisation of Khaenri'ah. Her curiosity is sourced by her dissatisfaction with the current ways of Teyvat.

Currently in her possession is Aymr, a heroes' relic that she found on one of her personal expeditions. Even so, she can't help the feeling that its placement, upon being discovered, was notably purposeful.

Claude von Riegan - ☆☆☆☆☆

Vision: Anemo Weapon Type: Bow Region: Sumeru, Fontaine Affiliations: Corps of Thirty, Temple of Silence

A free spirit - Claude takes to new environments well and is rarely seen stationed in one place for too long a time. As a dedicated member of the Corps of Thirty, he maintains Sumeru's security, albeit in his own unique ways. While relations between the Akademiya and the Temple of Silence have improved, he also secretly acts as an undercover agent for the Temple should this bout of trust prove misguided on the Akademiya's part. As of now, he is currently on vacation leave, which he is using to travel around Teyvat. Residing in Fontaine, he is accompanied by one Hilda Valentine Goneril and Lorenz Hellman Gloucestor.

Currently in his possession is Failnaught, a heroes' relic that was gifted to him by his grandfather. Though mysterious, he trusts that he'll wield it well should the time of its use come.

Yuri - ☆☆☆☆☆

Vision: Electro Weapon Type: Sword Region: Inazuma Affiliations: The Shuumatsuban

Like many Shuumatsuban ninjas, Yuri's past is shrouded in mystery, but this fact has never hindered him from his job. Specialising in undercover work and assassinations, Yuri is thorough while maintaining a casual air that would ease many away from suspicion. Even so, there is a part of him that yearns for a better life for him and his fellow ninjas.

Currently in his possession is the Fetters of Dromi, a heroes' relic that was salvaged from Fatui supplies on one of his missions. While its use is unknown to him, he keeps it close in the case that it one day becomes useful.

Seteth and Flayn - ☆☆☆☆☆

Vision: Geo and Anemo, respectively Weapon Type: Polearm and Catalyst, respectively Region: Fontaine, (formerly Liyue) Affiliations: Adepti

In the wake of Rex Lapis' death, Seteth and Flayn took to travelling, which eventually led them to Fontaine. In the current day and age, they live a quiet life in the Fontainean countryside, caring for the surrounding wildlife and tending to their farm. In the past, however, Seteth and Flayn were devout Adepti who fought by Rex Lapis' side during the Archon War.

While not much has occurred in the peaceful life they currently lead, Seteth senses an incoming global change. Any measures made to further seclude themselves is for the sake of Flayn's safety.

Shez - ☆☆☆☆☆

Vision: Electro Weapon Type: Sword Region: No set region, encountered in Sumeru Affiliations: Treasure Hoarders

A prolific member of the Treasure Hoarders, Shez is renowned for his many escapades in locating and finding treasure. While being a Treasure Hoarder often gives people a bad impression of him, those who know him are well aware of his intentions. Likewise, his past is also shrouded in mystery. Not even Shez himself is fully aware what landed him in this position as a notable Treasure Hoarder.

Currently in his possession is the Asura Blades, a heroes' relic that Shez found (stole) from Khaenri'ahn ruins. Upon closer inspection, he too found it suspicious how it was positioned - as if the intent was for it to be found.

Dedue Molinaro - ☆☆☆☆

Vision: Geo Weapon Type: Claymore Region: Sumeru Affiliations: Aaru Village Guard, (the Fatui)

Reliable and steadfast, Dedue is a formidable member of the Aaru Village Guard. In truth, he also harbours a secret connection. Taken in by the Sumeru division of the House of the Hearth at a young age, Dedue was raised and eventually recruited by the Fatui. Proving his worth, he was then brought into Dimitri's vanguard, which then led him to being stationed out in Aaru Village for the sake of tracking down 'the professor' and maintaining safe passage for fellow Fatui personnel to pass through.

Hubert von Vestra - ☆☆☆☆

Vision: Electro Weapon Type: Catalyst Region: Mondstadt Affiliations: Knights of Favonius

Earning quite the repute as a Knight of Favonius, Hubert has often been questioned for his motivations. Though he makes it clear that his loyalty is solely towards the Knights and Edelgard herself, there are some who still cannot shake the feeling of something else beneath that cold visage of his. But others yet chalk this up to his role as an undercover reconnaissance mission soloist.

Ferdinand von Aegir - ☆☆☆☆

Vision: Pyro Weapon Type: Polearm Region: Mondstadt Affiliations: Knights of Favonius

A noble, but only in name, Ferdinand is determined to re-prove the worth and mettle of the Mondstadtian nobility in light of the many controversies that have come to darken the region's past. This is spurred further on by his father having gone missing, the trail of evidence leading itself outside of Mondstadt's borders. Right now, he is at a crossroads; should he stay and take on his role as the last remaining Aegir noble, or should he leave Mondstadt to uncover the mystery of his father's disappearance?

Hilda Valentine Goneril - ☆☆☆☆

Vision: Pyro Weapon Type: Claymore Region: Fontaine Affiliations: Spina di Rosula

Hailed as a master of her craft, Hilda is known for her work as a jeweller in Fontaine's fashion sphere. She is also a trusted member of the Spina di Rosula. That all being said, she is also just as well-known for her habit of leaving her projects to the very last minute, if not outright asking her employees or other members of the Spina di Rosula to complete projects for her.

Lorenz Hellman Gloucestor - ☆☆☆☆

Vision: Electro Weapon Type: Polearm Region: Fontaine Affiliations: Spina di Rosula

As an upstanding member of the Spina di Rosula, Lorenz's family has a long history serving the presidential line of the organisation and have often been seen supporting them by way of sponsorships. Though he may hold some qualms over how the Spina di Rosula currently runs, one can trust him to be loyal as a thoughtful confidant to whoever sits at its current head.

Ignatz Victor - ☆☆☆☆

Vision: Dendro Weapon Type: Bow Region: Sumeru, (formerly Fontaine) Affiliations: Akademiya

A Vahumana scholar that was sent to the Akademiya because of his merchant family's encouragement and desire for him to become well educated, Ignatz is reluctant but willing to learn in due thanks to the financial trouble it took for him to travel and apply. As much as he is determined to learn about Teyvat's history, his heart lies in the arts. Secretly, he's a widely renowned artist, known for his landscape and candid painting work. He works under the pen name of 'Verdi'.

What’s Ravio’s relationship with the others like?

Warriors/Link

Impa

Zelda/Artemis

Midna

Yuga

Young link and wind?

Ravio generally gets along with everyone…after a while that is. When he first got shoved into the war, he really amped up his “cowardly, feeble merchant” facade. He didn’t really want to get involved in a time war, but he sure did want to help out. He got along well with the Links first, with everyone else either having mixed feelings on Ravio, tolerating him, or just not liking him.

Ravio would do basically whatever Captain Link asked him to. And if he didn’t want to do it, depending on the task, he would comply in the most malicious and mischievous way he could. The Captain quickly learned what he could and could not ask Ravio to do. He never could get too annoyed at Ravio though, because he could tell that the merchant was a genuinely good person who wanted to help as best he could. They’re friendly, but they don’t really hang out with each other when they have the free time, at least not just the two of them.

Young Link (Mask we’ll call him) mostly just sees Ravio as an eccentric merchant. He finds himself hanging out with Ravio more than he would want to, but doesn’t mind it too much. Mask does likes to listen to Ravio babble on about whatever, and will buy some things from him from time to time. They’re friends, but Mask would hesitate to call him that.

Wind buys a bunch of stuff from Ravio. Wind Waker, the game, let’s you have a lot of money compared to what you can have in AlbW. Wind takes advantage of the low prices Ravio initially had to buy out practically everything Ravio is selling. On one hand, Ravio made a profit, on the other hand, now he had nothing to sell. This started the arduous process of Ravio adjusting his rates to accommodate the average amount of rupees one can have/hold in their wallets across all the different times. Ravio charges Wind more than he charges others from his time, out of spite. Wind is still more than willing to cough up the money, leading to an overall good relationship between the two. Bonus mention, Spirit, who looks a lot like Wind, helped him with getting discounts on items. Since Wind can dress up like Spirit, or Spirit can just get the items himself, there would be no bonus charge. This worked well the first few times, but Ravio quickly caught on and also charged Spirit more as well.

The first one to come around to Ravio was Impa, surprisingly enough. She found him to be extremely loyal and helpful to everyone, and the few times he actually went onto the battlefield, he was surprisingly competent despite his incompetent facade. Impa grew to respect him, and Ravio respected-and somewhat feared-her as well. They weren’t friends or anything, but they have a mutual respect for each other.

After getting along with Impa, Zelda is next to change her feelings about him. She had mixed feelings about him at first. He was a great merchant and helper, but she found him to be extremely annoying. Honestly still finds him annoying, but now respects him. She reminds Ravio a lot about Hilda, mainly her determination and unwavering commitment to her people. Mutual respect.

Minda and Ravio are those friends who insult each other all the time, in good fun. A lot of teasing and a lot of pranks. When they teamed up, things would get extremely chaotic.

Ravio hates Yuga with a passion. The moment he sees Yuga on the battlefield, he beelines for him and tries to kill him as soon as possible. He is not successful. And Yuga also hates Ravio, but is more annoyed by him then anything.

Some more bonus mentions! Ravio gets along well with Marin, but can get a bit overwhelmed by her competitive nature when it comes to games and with how much better she is than everyone at all kinds of games. She also loves Sheerow and is the first one Ravio would leave the bird alone with. Lana and Ravio bounce of off each other well, and get along swimmingly. They never seek each other out though, but do consider each other as friends. Linkle occasionally drags people along with her when she wants some adventure, Ravio being one of these people. Why? Because she think he’s a fun person to hang around with. Ravio thinks she nice and energetic, but maybe a bit too much for him at times. They get along though.

New paragraph for the sword spirits. Ravio likes Fi and is grateful to her because she’s the Master Sword! In her future, she’ll not only be helping his own hero, but other heroes as well. Nothing but respect towards her. Fi doesn’t really have too many feeling towards him, but does respect his eye for business and skill in battle despite not being much of a fighter. Ghirahim thinks Ravio is annoying, but he thinks most people are annoying honestly. But Ravio is one of the few people who bother to address him as Lord Ghirahim, so he respects Ravio just a smidgen more than everyone else in the time crew. Ravio thinks he’s very creepy and terrifying, but if he sucks up to him a bit, than maybe he’ll turn out better than the others in the end.

This awful nightmare month had FOUR paralogues. So tiring. And they don't even let me kill Flayn or Seteth! Or let me see Rhea murdering those two NPC imperial suckups. Disappointing all around.

To get my notes under the char limit, I'll put the part about the first paralogue here.

Immediately after Claude's death/deportation, we get invaded by Almyra. Holst "fell ill" but big doubt.jpg, since he does not show his face to either Hubert or Edelgard (Hubert can only comment that "it's said" that Holst looks and smells awful). The Alliance supposedly can't cooperate enough to muster forces to support the Locket, even though we just spent lots of time playing up how Claude maneuvered everything to go down with the least amount of damage possible and how the Alliance has been extremely peaceful and cooperative to our occupation and invasion. The Goneril soldiers book it immediately when we arrive, no green units for us. And at the end, Holst politely passes the duty of guarding the Locket to the Empire. Which is another way of saying he refused to do it anymore, possibly on account of the dead little sister. You know, just maybe.

This is hilarious in general, and you can read all kinds of funny things into it, especially since this is the route where the game lies to you all the time with a straight face, so you are free to interpret practically all things you're told as complete bullshit (and you'll be provably right at least half the time).

Personally, I think it's very funny to assume everyone who says the Alliance occupation is going oh so well is either wrong or lying. I mean, sure, Claude supposedly arranged it so things would go peacefully whether he won or lost, BUT he was wrong at least twice about his allies surrendering peaceably and his dying words are about how he misread the entire situation. Yeah, logically this is all structured to contrast how the Kingdom and the Church won't go down as peacefully, but it's funnier if the Alliance is also not peaceful about this at all.

Almyra certainly is not looking like a future friendly neighbor, despite Edie's optimistic outlook.

Live blogging:

Hubert reports that Thales has started collecting the Relics from the Alliance (cool! definitely not a problem! Hilda wasn't casually able to oneshot everyone with that awful axe!)

He also suggests that we have one of our Lions recruits pretend to be a hostage to force their family to betray the Kingdom. Lovely man, so practical.

Byleth: you're using too many Proper Nouns, I can't keep tracks :( Edelgard: don't worry about it, kitten

Nader's in good spirits, at least. The Almyran forces have a lot of wyverns, mounted archers and also giant birds.

Edelgard thinks we can befriend Almyra, she would even consider a treaty. It's not a land ruled by blind fealty to the goddess (lol), so as long as communicate openly and respect the differences between our cultures... OK. We're not gonna mention Claude at all, which is funny.

Next paralogue! Hubie is investigating Solon, Kronya and Arundel. He wants to know their identities, their origins, their numbers, their base of operations, their plans, and where they acquired their dark powers, how they disguise themselves. He calls them "those who slither in the dark."

Now, working backwards from this, it means that he doesn't know these things in early war phase (where we are now), unless we assume he got further in his investigations in other routes.

Also, as has been pointed out, although this is a descriptive name that Hubert came up with, it's also used by Rhea for some reason.

It's a shame that Arundel is just Thales, he has a pretty nice design.

Hubert calls Arundel "Regent" even now. Weird!

We're sent to help some Agarthans who were experimenting in the Sealed Forest but their demonic beast subjects ran wild. Hubert later suggests that this was all a setup to make Edie's faction feel powerless in the face of the Agarthans' experiment (because they are aware Hubert is investigating them), but it backfired because Hubie isn't intimidated at all. He's looking forward to when Edelgard finished uniting Fodlan, and then House Vestra will fight the Agarthans in the shadows. (Hilarious from a narrative standpoint.)

Incidentally, you only need to save more than half the mages to get Arrow of Indra. The "Mysterious Mages" that you save also do not have Agarthan Technology abilities unlike the shapeshifters. Ladislava is popular with the citizens of the empire. She doesn't put up airs, is talented and also beautiful. She's known as the Scarlet Warrior.

There isn't much unrest in the former Alliance territories, perhaps thanks to Caspar's dad's strength (aka keeping them in line by force).

Riegan was once a branch family of Blaiddyd, which is very mysterious given their different crests.

Ladislava's troops depart at the end of the month (February) to the western front. They have high mobility. iirc she's a wyvern rider.

It's a bit funny to get the quest for the Almyran merchant same month as the Almyra invasion paralogue.

Claude told Lysithea roughly that she shouldn't focus too much on whether they win. Unlike Judith and Hilda, she listened lol.

Hubert hanging out in the Deer classroom, thinking about Claude. Relatable. He says that Claude has a compassionate exterior, but underneath is cold and calculating. Harsh! Also, not really in line with Claude's behavior toward his allies.

Linhardt says that there's a passage from the Holy Mausoleum to the Holy Tomb, but he can't figure out the mechanism. It's not really clear where the Holy Tomb is, and I've seen the speculation that it's under the amiibo gazebo... but the Holy Mausoleum is in the cathedral, so the two being connected... it's possible both are true, but kinda weird if so.

Dorothea: They'll write operas about this... I'm sure a pretty actress will play you :) And Edie :)) Maybe they'll throw in a love story :)))) hahaha (extremely awkward laugh)

Just realized you steal Zoltan's idol from the advisory room in the cathedral. Nice.

Hubert and Edie A: He emphasizes again that he's devoted to her due to personal feelings but also that he's not loyal in the sense of following her orders. He does what he thinks is best and if Edie disagrees, or doesn't like it, or is kept in the dark for her own good, well, that's how it is. He also mentions that his devotion became personal after Edie returned from the Kingdom, which calls back to how he and Ionius treat it as some kind of malicious kidnapping.

Petra paralogue: Church is threatening Brigid :( Well, per the Empire's perspective. Catherine is here <3

Jokes aside, Petra's perspective is interesting. Brigid is trapped between the Empire and Dagda, and they don't have the ability to stand against either one. They were dragged into war with the Empire by Dagda, which they then lost, and Petra's father was even killed. So they became a vassal state of the Empire, but given the whole racism issue, they probably were not in a good position. So Petra is focused on basically proving that Brigid is a useful and valuable ally for the Empire. Which is a rather practical approach.

Leonie paralogue... Interesting details that you need recommendations to get into Officers Academy. In the Alliance this means paying nobles to get them. Raphael mentions that his family sold their business to pay for him, iirc, since he wasn't up to running it anyway. Ignatz's parents are more successful, so perhaps they could just afford it. Leonie's entire village had to chip in to buy her way in. Presumably Ashe was sent by Lonato directly (though interesting choice given that the uprising happens very early in the year, so he must have already been planning it). I think the only other commoner is Dorothea, who... well.

Linhardt brings up the crests perpetuate the nobility angle and says to take it up with the Goddess for handing them out like that. But given where Leicester crests actually came from... sigh

Linhardt read about the legend of Saint Indech, so it's free real estate for any other character to read in an AU. Very nice.

Lake Teutates... Indech is a giant turtle. Man, these "dragons" are all kinds of shapes lmao. He attacks with water spikes.

Leonie calls the Immovable One a "magic beast" which we haven't seen so far, only wild beasts and demonic beasts.

Linhardt immediately caught on that the Immovable One is Saint Indech.

Petra has been in Fodlan for 9 years as of the war phase, so she came 3 years before the Academy.

Garreg Mach can be entered from the north by following Aillel, the Valley of Torment.

The map this time is a modified version of the monastery defense map from end of Academy Phase and second battle of the other routes. Previously, I didn't realize that the right hand third is gone. Presumably, this is the gorge that Byleth fell into...

We're fighting an expeditionary force led by Alois, while Rhea and Catherine hold off the rest of our army at the Sealed Forest. Aaah, they're so cool <3 They're also set up an ambush.

OK, so the situation with Flayn and Seteth is that they just retreat when defeated, regardless of who fights them. I thought there would be some scene about specifically sparing them, but nah. They just leave on their own. You don't even have any unique dialogue with Seteth, and Flayn just talks about how she won't kill you since she owes you her life.

Rhea murdered the heck out of Ladislava and Randolph off-screen. Shame, I would have loved to see it.

We killed Alois tho! He felt that, since we betrayed Rhea, Jeralt would not have approved.

Hildagard post breakup

send ♡ to see what my muse thinks of yours ; accepting

hooooo a messy and complicated one okay

●●●●● | ATTRACTION ●●●●○ | AFFECTION ●○○○○ | INTEREST ●●○○○ | LOYALTY ○○○○○ | TRUST

Hilda is 100% still in love with her. that's the big problem really, cause if Hilda didn't care, it would be easy to let go of Edelgard and all that stuff. Hilda won't follow her. she won't trust her. but. man she wants to. she wants to believe in her. but she can't. (yet she never told anyone about El's plans. so maybe there's a little hope left for Hilda to switch sides)

the #FREEHEIDI fic

Another fic I'll probably never write, so please adopt:

It's common fanon that the vampire world might eventually get together and overthrow the Volturi. Specifically, I like the idea of this revolution igniting around a more specific rallying point besides just "We're tired of Volturi rule."

Heidi's predicament would be perfect for this.

In Breaking Dawn, Eleazar finally put two and two together re: Aro's habit of poaching gifted vampires by persecuting their covens. He (Eleazar) talked about this openly among the Cullen witnesses. He and Edward also spoke openly about what Chelsea does. Even the Volturi's witnesses might have heard Edward say that Chelsea was trying to break their bonds. This is presumably (?) new information to those witnesses, who in turn began to spread that news throughout the greater vampire world.

So this is some good dirt on the Volturi, maybe enough push dissent into open revolution. But whoever will be orchestrating that revolution is aware that making the cause even more personal will attract more support.

So they launch the #FREEHEIDI campaign. Heidi is well-known and probably well-liked in the vampire world already, and this is the perfect time to dredge up the circumstances of her induction into the Guard. The best part of the campaign is that they don't even need Heidi's cooperation; the whole point is that her free will was taken away. Much is made about how much she's lost, how hard she's being worked, and for what dark purposes her gift might be employed. Plenty of assumptions are made and those assumptions become facts.

There are other candidates for poster victim, of course: Demetri's situation is pretty similar to Heidi's. Benjamin could stand for all the free gifted vampires who live in fear of being enslaved, especially because his youth and gentle spirit give him an air of vulnerability. Vampires like Siobhan and refugees from the American Southern Wars can testify how the Volturi failed to protect/rescue them. Or the cause could focus around the casualties of Volturi greed: the focus could be on Hilda instead of Heidi, for example. Vengeance, after all, is a powerful force in vampire society.

I think Heidi is the best candidate, though, since she is already well-known and her story is so tragic. And the fact that she's still being victimized now and still in need of rescue now will lend a powerful sense of urgency to the cause. And the fact that she can't be present to speak for herself gives her place as a figurehead a certain legendary feel to it. It makes her larger than life (unlife?).

(The #FREEHEIDI name was sort of a crackfic joke at first, but...? This could be the first time vampire culture gets interconnected digitally. If enough vampires get online* together, this campaign has the potential to gain steam quickly and also succeed through good organization. And having a catchy name that stokes everyone's righteous anger...always a strong recruitment strategy.)

The question is: who is orchestrating this campaign? And what is their true motive?

------

*If the campaign starts online, the person behind it could stay anonymous. That'll keep things interesting.

The Hero of Ages

When Ages was a young boy, he had a terrible nightmare. This set him on a journey that lead him from his home amongst the maze-like cliffs of the Ancient Ruins to Lorule Castle. With his vigilance and the young Princess Hilda's visions and passion, they managed to uncover the devious plots of the advisor Yuga, successfully banishing him from Lorule and saving the land.

...or so they thought.

Seven years after Yuga was banished, he returned, wilding impossible power. Lorule was laid to waste before anyone could stop him, and as a last-ditch attempt, Princess Hilda (also known as Vision), managed to find an ancient relic--the Harp of Ages. With it's power, she sent Ages back in time to figure out where Yuga got his power and stop him.

Ages, now returned to his child body, managed to gather the power needed to put a stop to Yuga's rampage long before it could occur, and at the end, the child Vision sent Ages back to his own time, triumphant...

except, of course, the separation of the Triforce caused the timelines to split apart.

Ages was now in his rightful adult body, but he had to face Yuga one more time, with both of them at the peak of the power. It was a hard fought battle, but with Vision's help, together they conquered Yuga and defeated him once and for all. Lorule was devastated, but Vision lead it back to prosperity with her passion and love for her country.

Ages wasn't done with adventuring, however. At a prompting from a strange vision from the Princess, Ages stumbled into a strange pocket dimension--a little realm of eternal twilight. There he had to free the people from influence and power of a terrible relic that housed a spirit of dreadful malic--a mask-like crown known only as the Fused Shadow.

He returned triumphant from the Twilight Realm, and has long since settled down to enjoy the peace his victories have brought, helping his wife run the family business--a falconry. But on his face the scars of his battle with the Fused Shadow can still be seen.

On a side note, Ages, like his counterpart Time, is the source of a three-way timeline split. These three timelines are the Child Timeline, the Adult Timeline, and a little timeline I like to call 'The Murked Timeline.'

The Murked Timeline is, of course, the predecessor of Myth, Magic, and Lorule. The Child and Adult Timelines is where it gets a little switched up.

Because of the nature of Ages' first adventure, his descendant, the Hero of Sol (the counterpart to Twilight), follows the adult timeline, while Wind's counterpart, the Hero of Flame, follows the child timeline.

Finally, here's a colored design!

[hildathesaint]

I forgot to make an introduction so here it comes

Hi there! My name is Hildegard or Hilda and I am a creature who likes to be in nature!

‧̍̊˙· 𓆝.° ｡˚𓆛˚｡ °.𓆞 ·˙‧̍̊

I am mostly agnostic but am very fond of Hellenic mythology! My ancestors are Lithuanian and I have a deep interest for Lithuanian culture, so you will often seeing me post things about that!

I am South-African and was raised among nature, so I feel a deep connection to nature and any creature or organism living in it. Expect to see a looot about that! You will also hear a lot about me and my animal spirits, and maybe some traditional South-African folklore! The tag #hildascritters will be used when I find interesting creatures to share!

feel free to ask questions! I love making new friends, so don't be shy to reach out :D
