Blaiddyd Family | Addams Family AU

Dimitri is a cursed man who can speak with ghost and is married to a demon.

Byleth is a demon summoned by Dimitri's uncle and Corny to get take Dimitri's soul to hell. She instead, marries him (and also glows in the dark 👁️-👁️)

Edelgard is Dimitri's stepsister who can't remember to be part of this family and dislikes to be there (yet, stays because she has access to "stuffs" to do "stuffs").

Rufus is Dimitri's uncle who very much hates his nephew and tries to get rid of him passively (ie, poisons and traps). Dimitri still loves his fam members very much.

Cornelia is a witch and Rufus partner (Only interest because she wants something the Blayddids have). She very much tries to get rid of everyone of this family.

Dedue is Dimitri's Best and most loyal friend but decided to serve him. He doesn't talk much.

Idk if you're the type to take/do request but I would love to see Lambert or Rodrigue in your style! Your art is so beautiful! ( I also hope you're taking care of yourself! )

thanks a lot! i love to daydream about minor npcs so this is very interesting in my opinion!

it's been a while since i last drew adult lambert and rodrigue so i painted something very quickly!

and also some teenagers and lambert with baby dima (this baby outfit is the one from my very old dmcl height chart lol).

the last time i actually drew lambert and rodrigue, it was the itty bitty baby versions when i was entertaining the most terrible prequel of all times starring rufus, ludwig and godfrey as house leaders:

now i have an opportunity to post these sketches lmao

hope you like these! maybe i'm gonna work on some of these a bit more (maybe the baby dima one?)

a little Faerghus lore joke for y'all

The idea that it took some random ginger lady from the Empire to get the Kindgom's shit together (literally) is still one of the funnier parts of 3H lore to me.

EDIT: Since this keeps getting traction I’m gonna leave a link to the Real!Cornelia portraits by Love_Bunchy.

Every day I think of Rufus in 3 Hopes, like what do you mean ever since you killed your brother you dream a lion is ripping out your throat? You're declaring war on House Fraldarius? "I'm so utterly tired. Tired of being afraid, tired of what I've become,,, all of it"

3 Hopes fumbled so hard by having this be such a short prologue. I SO BADLY needed more of Dimitri's messy succession. I need more of Rufus and whatever is going on in his psyche, the lion dream THE LION DREAM. Oh 3 Hopes fumbled,,,

No cuz let's talk about this -- the way I was DESPERATE to at least hear more about the history between Rufus, Dimitri and Lambert!! It's no surprise Rufus had always held a sort of resentment towards Lambert, his crested younger brother, but it definitely feels like as time passed -- Rufus began to regret what he's done, hence why he states he's "so tired" of being afraid and of what he has become. Part of me is pretty sure Cornelia/Cleobulus is responsible for manipulating the events of the Tragedy and definitely manipulated Rufus, using his resentment towards Lambert as a base and going on from there. But the choices Rufus made, whether manipulated or not, were still his own and it resulted in the deaths of many.

Rufus declaring war on House Fraldarius is no surprise really, given how that House is connected to the royal family and it's most loyal house -- if Rodrigue's devotion to Lambert is any indication to it -- so it's no surprise Rufus would want them out of the way.

What really boils my parsnips is that the game devs could of AT LEAST given us a flashback or several with Lambert and SHOW us even just a glimpse of how their relationship was!! If the resentment was returned from Lambert or not ( though there was an NPC in the prologue that stated that the brother's animosity towards each other was not a secret but my personal hc is that Lambert for a time, tried to reconcile with Rufus time and time again but ultimately gave up and let those bridges burn) but I wanted to SEE IT!! With how much Lambert is spoken about in AG, we could have at least been given some flashbacks where he speaks!! Or find a letter or something from him that tells his side of things!! But all we get are second hand ( and lets be real here, definitely biased ) accounts from those who knew him. Just AAAAAAAGH

It's no doubt that the lion in his dream represents Dimitri getting his revenge on him, "A lion's cub is still a lion--" he would tell Cornelia, and he even says when he's defeated "well what are you waiting for? avenge your father." ( I'm just giving a sum of it, I'm pretty sure the quote is different ) and of course, his last words being how dying by Dimitri's hand is a fitting end for him.

But I definitely agree with you about wanting to see more of Dimitri's messy ascension to the throne ! But alas, I suppose that's why fanfiction exists!

[real-fire-emblem-takes]

Does anyone else find it really interesting that out of the three Blaiddyds, the good guys have sharp eyes and then Rufus has these sad, soft, round eyes? It seems like a really interesting design choice to me, like you'd expect it to be the other way around.

I commissioned b_lueishpink on Twitter to draw the young adult versions of the Blaiddyds (including hot Rufus and my Dimileth fankid, Mikhail!!) They did such an amazing job, and I highly, highly recommend commissioning them as always!!

[thethiefinwhite]

The Thief in White hasn't posted in a while, she must be working on a masterpiece, right? Nope!

[dpsisquared]

I was today years old when I found out Rufus was brainwashed (through a tiny note in the artbook of Hopes!) and controlled by Cornelia through the actual crown he wore in hopes.

Also, ya know who also was brainwashed in hopes while wearing a crown?

Just how deep does the lore go?

I'm sorry, what! 😳 That's like, confirmed actual canon?? I had no idea either. Rufus just keeps getting more and more boring 😭 They could have made a really good character based on what we learn in houses. Charismatic because he is a player and gets lots of western lords on his side, like a hardened Sylvain after decades of all his cynical takes coming true.

And yet we got.... that. And now even what little we did get was all hand wavey "mind control". I stg Cornelia took the most convoluted, error prone route imaginable to taking down Faerghus 🤦‍♀️

[xxwitchywhisperxx]

Gotta draw Rufus with his bangs down to see how much he resembles feral Dimitri…

Dimitri/Ashe, arranged marriage OR role swap

[Send me a potential AU and I'll answer with five things from that story!] OH BOY. OKAY. OH BOY. I could do either of these, but arranged marriage aus are my bread and butter so-

In this AU Christophe Gaspard was actually at the Tragedy of Duscar and was a survivor- being one of the knights who helped save Dimtri's life from the attackers. In the aftermath when the purge of Duscar in retaliation was just starting, Cristophe decides to take Dimitri and Dedue back to Castle Gaspard, rather then stay and be complicit. Once there Dimitri reveals to Lord Lonato that it wasn't the Duscari that killed his parents and the court and they need to stop the purge. But while House Duran is old and Lonato is well loved and respect in the Kingdom, he doesn't have the power to oppose Corenlia and Rufus. Christophe also says they shouldn't trust the Archbishop, as he's uncovered suspicions things about her in his time at the Academy.

The answer? Dimitri will declare Lonato his regent in the Kingdom, and to shore up Lonato's legitimacy, Dimitri will be betrothed to one of Lonato's children. Ashe being the closest to him in age and also his friend seems the obvious choice- and Ashe is of course 100% willing to do his duty by his Prince and Lord Father. The declarations are sent out, and the group heads for Fhirdiad, while making sure to stop at every castle, town, and crossroads between Castle Gaspard and the capital, sweeping up nobles and a following of commoner 'pilgrims' who want to do homage to their new King in waiting, and his new Lord Regent. The end result is that Cornelia and Rufus have no choice but yield the palace and accept Lonato as Lord Regent- or else risk setting off riots in the young Prince's name that will pull them down anyways. The purges of Duscur are halted, Rufus is strongly 'encouraged' to marry a rich merchant in that far eastern Alliance and go into comfortable exile on her country estates, and Cornelia quietly relocates to Airanrhod to plot her next move. (Rowe for his part has to pry his jaws open in order to swear the oaths of obeisance to his former bannerman- but he does it with some encouragement from Yuri. Meanwhile Rhea has no choice but to give up on her plans to have Christophe killed using the the Tragedy as cover. It's one thing to make an enemy of a minor Kingdom noble. It's quite another to kill the brother in law of a king, and son of a Lord Regent).

Dimitri and Ashe's relationship is....complicated. Ashe has always dreamed of being a Knight, of honoring his the House that took him and living up to the legends of the old romances that inspired him to give up his life of crime. Ashe would adore being Dimitri's consort as well as his knight, liege man of life and limb- but he can't help but feel he's been forced onto Dimitri as a fiance. Like he is another choice, another duty, Dimitri's station has foisted onto him. Especially given that Ashe is deeply insecure about his place in the peerage anyways- he's a barely literate former street thief adopted out of pity. He has no Crest in his blood, no great deeds or lineage to boast of. Even his adopted House for all it is as old as the Kingdom, has never been powerful. For a thousand years the House of Duran has ridden to war when the Kings of Faerghus called, true, but they have had no great heroes or legends in that time. Part of Ashe almost hopes that when Dimitri comes of age, he will dissolve the engagement- find someone more worthy, more proper, to be his consort.

On Dimitri's side of things, he of course feels like he's the one whose cost Ashe everything- bridling him to a life he couldn't possibly want, to all the dangerous viperish politics of court, to a role that will require him to give up freedom and his choices, and to a heartbroken soulsick man who is everyday wrestling with a darkness, an anger, a violence inside of him. Dimitri wants Ashe to be free- most especially he wants Ashe to be free of him, and yet there is a part of Dimitri that wants to cling to him too, a little possessive, a little selfish. That wants to shield this remaining bright innocent life, and crush the skulls of anyone would lay their fingers on it. The thought that Dimtri could have a more politically advantageous match never even occurs to Dimitri really- in his mind Ashe is perfect for the job of Prince Consort. It's just that he deserves a better king to sit beside him them Dimitri. (The irony that their both wrong about themselves and right about the other is of course lost on them- but not on the rest of the Blue Lions who don't really see a problem with any of this, and treat their joint ascension to the throne as a forgone conclusion for the better of the realm, at least, until war breaks out)

Even after Dimitri goes full Hamlet Ashe refuses to leave his side or abandon his prince. Dimitri furious does everything he can to push Ashe away convinced Ashe is only remaining with him out of the sake of duty, and that the best thing he can do to protect the one thing he has left is to drive Ashe off. But Ashe will not be moved- he refuses to see the monster Dimitri insists he is, refuses to be budged. He loves Dimitri and he will not live him to waste alone in the dark.
