The Abyss NPC are such a trove of gold for additional worldbuilding tbh 

Everything about the Pagan Lady who I assume is Dagdan breaks my heart

That poor NPC whose family was somehow massacred by nobles “People with crests do whatever they like no one stops them least of all the church”

Mr. Backup died during the timeskip :( But Abysskeeper ends up marrying his older sister in VW and SS

Rodrigue paid for reestablishing the monastery town, even giving money to the ppl in abyss & generally seems to. I guess you see where Dimitri gets that charitable mindset from. Yuri also notes that he’s remarkably uncorruptible. 

Abysskeeper is originally from Derdriu. It#s fun how a lot of his CF and AM dialogue is exactly the same but in different context XD - apart from of course the rodrigue line, and the time Hubert sends a soldier to do some mission there

When you go save Fhirdiad Constance is pretty glad to save the ppl from the school of sorcery and is glad to find them mostly unharmed

Yuri goes into some detail of events right preceding Byleth’s return in AM where the villages near the fronts weren’t sure wether to think of the guy massacring random imperial soldiers as a serial killer or a folk hero

Balthus apparently had a friendly brawl with Dimitri at some point (I guess continuing the tedency of the recruitees in aM to mention having personally interacted with him, at the very least Leonie and Caspar also get lines like that)

Apparently Yuri’s mom got sick sometime during the timeskip (at least in the AM timeline) so he couldn’t evacuate her from Faerghus. 

Constance like Ferdinand, Lorenz & Lysithea is one of those ppl who remember Edelgard in a semi-positive light after her defeat. Kudos to you!

Balthus suspects where Claude ran off to. Well, he was kinda sent there to snoop on him to begin with XD

He never had any hope for the Parlay

Apparently Yuri does have a habit of praying, he’s not like a strooong believer and can’t recite the scriptures much but it’s a habit he picked up from his mom, I guess he would be one of those ‘culturally religious’ people

I just love how Yuri had additional observations on nearly everything like... nothing gets past him. 

Meanwhile in the CF timeline, Balthus apparently thinks Edelgard is hot (which earns him a death glare from Byleth) and thinks the whole Black Eagle strike force should go have a beer to celebrate Byleth’s return since they’re all old enough now and Byleth’s no longer supposed to babysit them

I love how Hubert just flat out takes over Abyss and integrates poor overworked Yuri into his spy networkXD . Hence why Hapi feels he deserves a definite article.  Well, Hubert appreciates how good he is. The mission was to try & convince the Alliance lords to fold so like El & co were actively attempting diplomacy until the end

On CF you see a very omnious NPC who suddenly dissapears if talked to (probably Agarthan) who complains about “that prince being no good” - Did they offer Dimitri their support when they noticed they were definitely losing control of Edelgard? If so he seems to have rebuffed em. It’s a very cryptic line and I can’t rly make heads or tails of it, but, if he wouldn’t sell Rhea out to Edelgard he probably wouldn’t do it for someone even worse no matter what they promised him. 

Apparently in the VW timeline Hapi is a big fan of Judith

Balthus is proud that little Hilda has become an A list schemer

Hearing Claude’s plan makes constance a bit self-conscious about her own being more past-focussed, she’s been out-bolded

Hapi doesn’t know much about Almyra but reflects on how there are many marginalized minority groups in Fodlan including ppl from Isolated communities like her own

Yuri finds the plan a bit lofty & idealistic for his tastes, and also reckless,  but he realizes that he’s got no leg to stand on when it comes to being more noble than he lets on, and that maybe a lil bit of recklessness are what these times need

Oh, once the secret’s out Hapi concludes that there probably would have been war one way or another with the slitherers having everything infiltrated, edelgard or no edelgard

Balthus mentions that Holst wasn’t at Shambhalla because he was “working out things with the Almyrans” and suggest that they warn him about the slitherers lest they sabotage the diplomacy

Apparently Hapi meditates! This comes up cause she trying not to freak out about Nemesis

“People sait it was the church who kept order but actually Yuri’s the one keeping us from complete chaos”

Apparently it was Hapi who kept the surface bandit population from flattening Abyss

Apparently in VW it’s Judith who gave supplies to Abyss (In Rodrigue’s place)

Seems like despite Hapi’s worries they kinda fare best on CF though (”Things have been pretty ok” vs “We lost some ppl”)

Abyss Resident: “I used to be an important person in the church but Im exiled for embezzling. It wasn’t out of greed tho my hometown was pillaged and the church wasn’t putting in enough to rebuild” Tell me again that Rhea cares about the little guy

One of the random rogues from Abyss is from the kingdom, claims to be a distant descendant of Fraldarius the Elite and finds “poetic justice” in taking down the empire under Claude. 

Another reaaaaly juicy tidbit is that rogue with another message from Hubert, telling Byleth to bring Rhea with them when they go to Shambhalla. Ensuing that Rhea and Thales would destroy each other.  And reaaaly adds to my conviction that Edelgard and Hubert basically did everyone a huge solid and no one noticed. Well, actually in Verdant wind they Do notice eventually; Its the left hand fighting the right cause everyone has triust issues galore

I didn’t think my love of Hubert could increase further

I always wondered, hm, were they expecting Rhea to self-destruct? Did Claude deliberately plan for it? But I never had enough evidence. especially for team Empire. But I mean Edelgard started this whole war cause Rhea is a danger so, while I get keeping her alive cause the slitherers want her for experiments, why not slit her throat as soon as the imperial palace is surrounded? Why have Hubert return her alive, to win the other faction’s trust? Not their style.

Though the random rogue also says that “Rhea was kept alive as insurance” against the slitherers. 

So it WAS part of the plan. I always did have that feeling, but, I never knew how to articulate it logically and not just intuitively. 

Of course if Byleth went and told Claude about this, Claude’s decision is also clear because he’s not dumb enough to think the empire would care for Rhea’s wellbeing out of the goodness of their heart

Though ultimately she insists on coming along for her own reasons anyways wether Claude is there or not, for plain ol’ revenge. 

Also while reading through the scrpits I realize that I never clicked the “Do you hope [Rhea] is dead?��� option when Claude explains his plan. That actually nets you support points and he’s like... “Daangerous question friend”. Really Claude is not “the chill/nice one” he’s so much more interesting than that and I love him

Also I love how the NPCs get different outfits depending on the route! I wish there had been more route-specific aesthetic touches

I've been a big fan of your blog for a long time and I've seen that you give your personal thoughts about anything we ask you so I really need your personal thoughts about this: I think I like my friend’s boyfriend and I don’t know what to do, I don’t want to be a bitch and make them fall apart because of me. I know him for about 3 years and I don't know if it's love or my mind is playing tricks on me. Oh and I must say that's the first time I like someone. Apart of that your blog is amazing.

wow, this is definitely a tough situation O.O of course you cant help who you like bc the heart wants what the heart wants, so im sorry that the first time you like someone ended up being someone off limits :/ honestly theres nothing you can really do in this situation other than try to get over him. you dont want to break your friend’s relationship up, and even if they ever break up on their own, its kind of not cool to go date him right after….. unless you and your friend arent really close? idk your degree of friendship here, but if its your best friend, i’d say dating the boy is definitely a line that cant be crossed if you dont want to upset your friend. even if she tells you shes over him, it could still be weird.

i was once in a kind of similar situation…. i was at a house party my freshman year of college (it was small, say about 20 ppl) and my friend (who i wasnt that close to but we had the same friend group and she was always nice to me) was drunk and crying bc of her ex that she still wasnt over. now their relationship had ended before i met her but i had heard the whole story, they dated for a little over a year, he randomly broke up with her bc he didnt want to be in a relationship anymore.

anyways, so halfway thru the night i was tipsy and super friendly (bc i open up and get super friendly when im drunk lol) and there was this super cute guy who walked into the room that i was in and started talking to the person next to me. so obviously i jump in on the conversation bc im drunk and friendly, and the boy and i started going back and forth with witty banter that lasted for a while bc he ended up pulling up a chair and sitting with us. then after a while he left and went back in the other room, and then sometime later in the night i found him again (a coincidence bc he was playing super smash bros with my other friend) and i sat down and joined their game. TOTALLY BEAT HIS ASS MULTIPLE TIMES BTW EVEN THO HES SUPPOSED TO BE REALLY GOOD AT IT AND IT WAS MY FIRST TIME PLAYING, but anyways. we talked and laughed and flirted for the rest of the night and i was really attracted to him.

end of the night comes, he’s already left, im giving my friend a ride home and he brings up my friend who was crying over her ex and how her ex was there. and i was like ??!?!! WHAT???? WHO WAS HER EX???? bc i genuinely had no idea. and then my friend describes the exact boy i had been flirting with all. night. long. O.O i was shocked, floored and felt terrible bc im sure she saw us since she was in the same room when i first met him. and i was SUPER DISAPPOINTED bc i was genuinely attracted to him in more than just a “oh im tipsy and youre kinda cute” type of way. and i couldnt stop thinking about him after the party. he added me on fb a few days later and mY HEART FUCKING SPED UP??? WTF???? i never act like that, which is how i knew this guy was special. but i was also torn bc he was my friend’s ex.

needless to say, i didnt make the right decision. he messaged me and i caved and we started talking, hanging out, kissing. after a couple months or so he said that the direction we were headed seemed like a relationship, and he wasnt ready for that. and he broke it off with me ;( thats been the one guy that i was ever super into, and before/since him im basically a robot whos void of emotion with guys (BTW THIS WAS ALL BEFORE BTS so they basically broke my dry spell of liking anyone and now im in love with jungkook and cant give anyone else the time of day 😭😭😭)

but anyways, the point of telling you this story is bc even tho i wasnt that close to my friend whose ex he was, and they werent even dating at the time, she still held a lowkey grudge against me and apparently called me a “boyfriend stealer” one night when she was drunk LOL. i cant tell you what to do in this situation, but i can tell you that if you try to go for your friend’s bf, it probably wont end well
