#even before Lycaon was born it was either mundane stuff about the war and Enbarr Tumblr posts
Note
#Willy smut was written by the masses who ignored how manipulated he was! House Hresvelg is 100% human!!! I headcannon (in a comedic way) that it is Agarthan proganda. Thales after taking over Adrestia‚ comb through his diaries and discovers it has no secrets to exploit. Mostly boring things that happenned‚ something related to Seiros‚ something related to Seiros in a graphic "Please go back to writing anything else" way‚ and about Lycaon (and his relatives). Thales burns them and swears that no one can learn that he lost to someone who would rather write down smut than anything he considers important. And thus the "Willy" who sat back as Seiros puppets the continent was born (and also totally had a hard time fighting some pale guys that mysteriously show up‚ but "his words not mine" - Thales)! Also to play off your 120 children headcannon‚ Willy (way before Lycaon was a pincushion) said to remember him not as an emperor but a lover.
10k years of lore being what they are, the "poor dumb willy was manipulated by the evil lizard lady" could be Agarthan propaganda... or propaganda coming from the hresvelg themselves lol
Poor Thales having to read through pages and pages of "theological" discussions ("Seiros said the Goddess created her children in the image she took to resemble humans, but Cichol doesn't have big bazongas? Or he hides them using a transformation magic? Will Cethleann grow big bazongas too or not?") decided to take revenge against the Hresvelgs and swore to bring their demise.
After all, their line was founded by a beast who was much closer to a clown, and who willingly mated with an abomination and kept on writing about this sin, and the resulting monstruosity born from their fornication!
(infiltrating early Adrestian society where every human was horny about the saints was a challenge, even after their departure he couldn't escape the horny Macuil poems or graphic theatrical representations of "Saint Cichol's Holy Spear and the Blessed Maiden").
Willy thus became a moron - it wasn't difficult to convince his descendants since they resented the evil lizard lady who kept on calling him the "greatest" (what about them???) and, after the barbarian rebellion, it was even easier to instill hate and resentment towards the evil lizard lady and her viles who manipulated poor dumb willy (tm).
Sadly when Thales tried to slander even more Willy's memory by saying he was an inconsiderate horndog, Adrestian Emperors saw nothing wrong with that, and tried to hide this "achievement" to make sure no bastard would knock at their door to ask for the throne, and also, because "measuring one's worth based on their virility is something those barbarians do not us enlightened Enbarrites", even if some "romance novels" started to spread around 580 all around Fodlan about "Great Emperor Wilhelm" that were written by an anonymous author who was apparently so famous and popular that that author's style was well imitated and copied through the ages, until 20 years ago where people imitating the first novelist basically stopped writing about him.
they still kept on having several concubines for some reason that is totally unrelated to any competition they could have with their stupid ancestor.
#anon#replies#is it the wilhelm hour?#fodlan nonsense#Thales totes tried to influence history to say that Nemesis' side had OP mages even more OP than Macuil#but Ochs 1's fascination for birdie eclipsed everything else#and after the 'horny for macuil' era Thales already left and couldn't push his my magic was superior to his narrative#Willy was the kind of dude to be amazed at everything Lycaon did like day by day recording how he learnt to ride a horse#or swim or was totes op and instead of being jelly Willy was so proud of him#downside though was that he never wrote a thing about the other 120 children bar the 'Vestra 1 berated me again for having another kid :('#even before Lycaon was born it was either mundane stuff about the war and Enbarr#'theological' discussions about Seiros#of course this ultimate favoritism for lycaon didn't paint him in a good light for the Adrestian Emperors#especially the ones who ruled after Lycaon's death like 'wow sure he loved his mongrel but we're just chopped liver?'#add to that Rhea's 'greatest Emperor who ever Emperor'd' and they feel like those great founding figures of the past were asses#FE16
