#he's another massacre survivor who doesn't hate the world like Reyson

[randomnameless]

Dedue for the meme? Also he qualify for a sad armor?

Dedue is a sad armour only if he survives and Dimitri doesn’t. Gilbert is the sad armour of the game.

First impression : he looks tall and always follows Dimitri, is he like his bodyguard or something?

Impression now : he is totally Dimitri’s bodyguard and love interest even if Billy had to be there, for some reason.

Favorite moment : cheesy as fuck, but when he returns in AM? I hated how he had to be fridged, really, but as soon as Dedue’s back Dimitri starts to snap out of his boar!mode so they’re totally pals. Totally. Or Dedue being his sneaky awesome!self, popping up in VW/SS to take Edel’s head for Dimitri’s sake, like this guy was rumoured to have died but gets out of his pseudo-grave to avenge his lover best pal like if this isn’t some serious Finn “I’m going to kill Travant for Quan’s sake” stuff idk what it is. Oh, and also, i think in his Ingrid support : Dedue debunks the “they’re all bad” POV, there are good duscurians and bad duscurians, even he thinks maybe a duscurian had been part of the regicide plot, but it doesn’t mean every duscurian had to die, or that they were all angels, nope.

Idea for a story : post AM, Dedue’s still Dimitri’s best pal but he managed to open a small Duscurian restaurant in the capital ; through his cuisine, Duscur suddenly becomes something else than “those guys we accidently killed” and within two decades they got rid of racism because duscurian dishes are just that awesome.

Unpopular opinion : oh god. Do you expect me to debunk a redshit “bad take”? Dedue’s most important person in the world is Dimitri, but Dimitri’s most important person in the world is Dedue, so even if there’s the usual power inbalance between a lord and his retainer, Dimitri manages to erase that barrier in their A support. They’re dependant on each other but for once that codependency isn’t painted in a bad light. Quite the contrary, actually.

Favorite relationship : Uh I feel like i kept on talking about a certain relationship so it’s my favourite, of course. But also, I like Dedue’s supports with his house members, Mercedes, Ashe, but also for lol points Flayn. Dedue’s got teaching skills but also knows how to support people he’d totally be a containder for best mom in fodlan in another verse

Favorite headcanon : Ashe introduced Dedue to his siblings as a true, loyal knight everyone should look up to, and soon enough he became a new important character in Faerghus’ mythic heroes, Loog, Kyphon and Dedue.
