Typing about the Mandate of Heaven in a reply to another post...
WTF is that shit ?
How the fuck can Ferdie "assign to himself" a heavenly mandate?
Of course Billy housing God could be a very literal way to gain this mandate, assuming we're not talking about the IRL concept but a general "god told me to", but still...
Is Ferdie basically calling himself someone favored by the Heavens? When we know Tru Piss is all about mowing down opposition, and it will still face them after the war since Hubert and Shamir's ending exist?
I guess Pat couldn't translate this for a western audience not familiar with this specific concept, but what.the.actual.fuck.Ferdie?
Hell, Nopes!Ferdie sprouting nonsense from his ass ("people's fears only exist in their minds! Forget how we are actually invading their homes and killing their pals!" + "Faerghus loves crusts so much that their army is full of them, please don't look at ours") didn't come from nowhere : if a non SS!Ferdie is delusional enough to think he can assign a heavenly mandate to himself, it's no wonder why this same Ferdie goes completely off the rocker in Nopes!
#gods#to be honest Pat tried to save him here from looking too much like an arrogant ass#idk how arrogant it can be to say you're basically assigning to yourself#something that is recognised to a successful dynasty who manages to rule fairly over their people#fairly as in they don't rebel to depose you#especially as Ferdie is in the middle of a war where he is slaughtering the people he is supposed to look after like guy#SS!Ferdie is an anomaly#like a str blessed Lyndis#note how Pat!Billy doesn't mention surviving lol#FE16#the BESF is really something
