Atticus smiled a bit, bowing his head in concession. "Partly, yes. Though that in itself is not a guarantee... we're ever the students. Training, learning, so that we might attain more of that power."

"Poetry across the skin. And a retelling of one's life up until such a time, in a sense," he agreed.

"Power comes in many shapes and sizes." Dimitri agreed, eyeing the nephilim curiously. "For you....I expect. It comes in burns of black script accross your skin."

"The marks of the angel...are quite lovely. Are they not?"

To celebrate the Anniversary, I redrew the first thing I did for this game and gave it cohesion

... And played with it. Here are all the individual pieces 💙💛❤️💚

[darling-dearest-emi]

Emi scrunched up her nose with an accompanying smile of her own. "Hmm... I still think both can be true."

"Ah..." He booped her nose. "But is it mere flattery if it's true?" He asked, accepting the kiss with a pleased little smile.

[viivie]

them 😔

[andromeda-will-strike]

Andromeda looked up, offering the admiring vampire a grateful smile. "Do you think? I'm trying to find a birthday gift for my friend. She's not one for huge gestures though, so I decided to steer towards something that would be useful so she can't be as indignant over it."

"Oh that is just lovely." He admired her find. "Might I ask what you are wanting to do with it?"

[stuckasmain]

Absolutely cannot believe that Dimitri Chandler got the movie! Maxim Brailovsky treatment. That man got blown up for being bisexual 😭

No but seriously it’s utterly insane. In all but stated Frank basically gets a boyfriend after not getting girls, obsessed with this guy and his beard and adventure etc then does some wild stuff with Dave as if he’s his ex.

Comes back to a THREE DECADE AND 15 YEAR TIME SKIP. To speed run divorce and having kids for no actual fucking reason what so ever. Both this time skip and this ??? Plotpoint that literally negagtes itself in the same paragraph it’s introduced have no reason to exist im going insane. He’s still friends with her btw they’re just back to how they were thus no reason.

Anyway some Dimileth compilation, and some others dmlth AUs

[saviourkingslut]

so let me get this straight. duo!lyon

deals damage 20 to 40 percent of his atk before combat even starts

cancels counter attacks if his res is higher than foe's res

after combat, cancels the next action of the closest foes within 3 spaces the next turn à la seidr

his duo button lets you do that to any number of units in a cardinal direction

like if i didn't already think the last few bunches of nukes were completely broken. id sure think it now lol rip fire emblem heroes you had a good run

[all-for-adeline]

"If only briefly," Adeline admitted with a small smile. "The ballroom doesn't have the same appeal at this in my opinion."

"It's a beautiful night." He told the warlock woman when she appeared. "And yet...it seems you have escaped the party.''

[burr-ell]

[butwhatifidothis]

okay. but riddle me this. it's wrong for dimitri to want revenge on the person whom he believes is responsible for his trauma and the subsequent disasters that befell both faerghus and duscur - which, even if she didn't do it personally, was done FOR HER BENEFIT EXPLICITLY... but when edelgard revenge kills TWSITD it's like, yas queen slay? weird.

Lot of it has to do with how they frame Dimitri's vengeance vs Edelgard's. Dimitri's vengeance is bad because it's against the "wrong target," while Edelgard's... isn't typically framed as vengeance.

Given how I've consistently seen edelstans portray Dimitri's vengeance, they tend to focus most of their energy going on about how Dimitri's vengeance is bad because it's against the "wrong" person - not that it intrinsically tends to drive people to a destructive path for both themselves and others, but that it's aimed in the wrong direction. Just look at how Fleche's similar quest for vengeance is treated by the exact same group of people; she's justified in getting her vengeance, her vengeance is "rightful," despite it also leading her down a path of singularly focusing on vengeance at the dismissal of all else just like it does Dimitri when he stays on his path of vengeance. Hers is directed in the "right" direction, meaning it is okay and even right of her to have.

(This is ignoring how if Fleche is right in wanting vengeance against Dimitri despite him not being the one to actually kill Randolph, then Dimitri is damn sure right to want vengeance against Edelgard despite her not actually committing the Tragedy. Dimitri pushed Byleth into killing Randolph as a mercy kill; the desire to assist Edelgard later on down the line has TWS conspire and commit the Tragedy. If Dimitri being the cause of Randolph's death rather than him being the one to outright kill him makes Fleche in the right to want to kill him, then Edelgard being the cause of the Tragedy's happening rather than her being the one to outright commit it would make Dimitri right in wanting to kill her. It shouldn't matter that Dimitri is technically wrong in why he wants vengeance, since it doesn't matter to them that Fleche is technically wrong in why she wants vengeance.)

(it also ignores that yeah edelgard literally is complicit in the tragedy by hiding it for years just so her allies don't get ratted out lmao so yeah)

Now look how both of those things compare to Edelgard's vengeance and how it's framed by edelstans. She, unlike either Dimitri or Fleche, is above such base and narrow-minded pursuits such as revenge - she is doing what she is doing not out of selfish vengeance, but out of heroic altruism. She may have been wronged, yes, but she has moved past the want to relieve herself of that pain and now all that she wants to do is prevent others from ever going through what she went through. And if she could, she would help Dimitri and Fleche move on from their vengeance just as she has moved on from hers, even if she's "rejected" by them (like Dimitri), because she's just a sweetie pie like that.

Now, this kiiiiinda ignores the fact that Edelgard literally does want vengeance for what was done to her family, or at least it can easily be argued that's she wants. She frames it as "doing it for their sakes" which is literally also how Dimitri and Fleche basically frame their vengeance, as doing it for the sake of those killed. But acknowledging that Edelgard is doing what she's doing even partially for revenge doesn't make her as uwu special and better than the poor lost souls that she gives guidance to. So instead of saying that Edelgard could even arguably be motivated partially by vengeance (as well as being a violent imperialist lol) they make her completely selfless. She has to be the hero of the story, out to help and save as many people as possible, motivated by nothing more than a want to help others.

And it also ignores how Dimitri wants revenge not for himself, but because he genuinely thinks that is what the dead want him to do. It ignores that the entire reason Dimitri gets so consumed with vengeance is because of his empathy and want to help others morphing into something destructive and deadly - he can't have those good traits, because those are good traits and Dimitri must be the villain to Edelgard's heroism. It ignores how Fleche is wrong in her quest for vengeance, and that regardless of who actually killed Randolph she was wrong to let herself be so overwhelmed with the need for vengeance just like Dimitri - she is directing her hatred towards Dimitri, The Villain, and thus she must be right in doing so.

It, either deliberately or not, ignores so much of what the game is telling, because the focus for edelstans first and foremost is to make Edelgard out to be the best and most morally upstanding character in the game. They have a conclusion they want to be true, and then work backwards from there to make everything fit into place. And then when others don't perform the gymnastics required to come to those conclusions they belittle and mock those people for not "understanding the game" as much as they do. Annoying as shit lmao

[full-of-fangs-klaus]

"Then clearly you don't know Bane well enough. There's a certain sort of idiocy in his insistence on spectacles."

"Seems a bit extreme for the ambiance. I must agree." Dimitri said agreeably.

[pegasusknightsonly]
