#i also have something for that ask about byleth and magic saved in my draft

So somebody in a Discord server I'm in asked the question "what if Edelgard's mother, Anselma, was a Demonic Beast and was wandering around looking for her daughter" and now I'm in the process of drawing a big, scrawny, effectively blind, incredibly volatile murder lizard.

Ooooh i wanna see it when it's done so badly (only if you're comfortable with it of course) >=D

This is so angsty and I'm here for it ! Do you think she'd have some degree of sentience ?

On a similar note, if that ever were to happen I think that while Edelgard would be rather distraught (no shit), Loki has never really cared for his parents. My own take on it is that Anselma and Lambert's couple was already going to sh*t by the time he came around so they weren't as present nor as good a pair of parents as they would've wanted- so he clung to Dimitri most of all. He would be sad for her as a person but wouldn't grieve her as a mother, nor seek a relationship with her.

I feel like there'd be a lot of complicated feelings to unpack between Edelgard, Dimitri, Loki and Anselma- meanwhile Adel and Aline are just hanging out in the background using Ionius' portrait as a target for shooting practice
