Heidi is so bad and I'm going to build her because she's pretty

[randomnameless]

Do you think Edelgard perceives herself as a victim? I’ve been thinking and I can’t decide myself, on one hand she clearly hates the idea of people being victims or helpless, and constantly reframes the victims of the war as “necessary sacrifices” instead of, y’know, tragic causalities of a war she started. She plays up her sad backstory to try to get Byleth to join with her in WC, but then she does all these things to concentrate as much power as possible on herself. On the other (other) hand, she pushes the culpability of the war on everyone except herself, and has trouble taking accountability. She’s obsessed with controlling everything but she doesn’t want to be blamed for the problems she’s created. What do you think?

Oh!

(sorry for replying one literal month later lol)

I find Supreme Leader hard to write because of this, but in a way, I believe that yes, she does.

However, for all the flak Faerghus gets for "ToXiC mAsCuLiNiTy" and "Chivalry BaD", there's something very toxic with the way some Adrestian victims (often women... blame the writers I guess?) deal with their abuse.

I'm not going to spend a lot of time on Doro because I already typed a lot about her, but while she still sees herself as a victim from what she endured and suffered in her childhood, she adopted the toxic mindset of "this suffering is a thing of the past and I grew from that/beyond that to become the person I am now" - which we can also see in Manu who suffered from, roughly, the same traumas.

Petra also follows this pattern, being a hostage and treated like shit, but she grow "beyond" her status of a victim to become the strong person she projects and believes she is - it's only out of House that she realises more accutely her status within the Empire, the reality of her situation and, in Houses, refuses vassalage to Adrestia to make her country independent without having to "ask the Emperor".

It's the same pattern : "I was a victim" but "I became strong" so "I am not a victim anymore, this is something of the past".

Applied to Supreme Leader...

Well, trying to ignore the Agarthans and her dad's own infuence on her character (which is kind of hard, since the games try their hardest to make Agarthans responsible for everything BaD and we're not clear on how much they had an influence on her), I think Supreme Leader believes she was a "victim" of abuse.

But - through further abuse and surviving said abuse - she became strong* enough to "not be a victim anymore".

Which is why her line of "if the weak remain weak it's their fault" feels like it echoes part of her mindset : she was a victim but became strong enough, maybe by hardening her own feelings to become "strong", so she is not the same helpless "victim" she once was.

If she managed to do that, then everyone can do the same.

As for the "necessary sacrifices", since early 2019 someone theorised that "the people" she pretends the fight for as seen as some general "concept", much like the "greater good". So if some people are sacrificed, it's for her ideals - the goal and aim of her newfound strength - , and it piles on her drive, she must realise them otherwise those people would have died (and she would have suffered) for nothing.

However, despite acknowledging her past self as a victim, and because she's now "strong", she's not above using her past trauma (but actually, still present! Remember the rat scene?) to reach her goals, because, at her core, Supreme Leader is soemone who is very determined. Maybe it's her only drive to grow beyond the trauma, or her own illusions, or a mix of everything, but AM made it clear, Supreme Leader is not above, well, using herself if it means seeing her goals come to fruition : unlike Lobotogard from AG, AM!Supreme Leader willingly transforms in Hegemongard.

This is the cost she's willing to pay, so while the memes about Lord Farqaad were on spot, I still think that Supreme Leader is ultimately willing to sacrifice** herself for her goal (but only when there's no other way to ensure her future will come to fruition, and in a way, I guess she thought she would survive the Hegemon transformation, jury's out on what she meant to do in AM's finale, but imo, she still tried, even beaten and battered as she was, to claim Dimi's head).

Ultimately I think everything's a bit muddled by the fact that, as @fantasyinvader pointed out, Supreme Leader is a liar and knows the importance of maintening good PR.

She lies and manipulates the truth to reach her goals (which again, is a red flag when CF claims to want to restore the "distorted history" of Fodlan!) and for all the flak I give them, the devs managed to scrap enough material to give us a peek in Adrestia's mindset (or at least its top nobles), they're not people who self reflect, they are salty because they aren't ruling the world anymore, and they feel like they are better than the rest of Fodlan.

Put everything in the mixer, and you indeed have Supreme Leader (but also her court, especially Ferdie in SB who dares to say, as he is invading and trouncing people who don't really like and accept the idea of being invaded, that the fear those people feel are only in their mind, or something like that? Like, dude, you're rolling over their people and country, of course they'll fear and hate you!) giving her weird rhetoric lines (why are people opposing me if they are going to die?), victim blaming (something Treehouse swallowed like honey, if their lolcalisation is anything to go by, remember, it's Rhea's fault for not offering her head on a platter that is the reason why the War continues in CF!) and so on.

IDK if the devs wanted to bank that much on the Dany parallel with her "if I look back i am lost", but again, I don't know if her drive to make a "better Fodlan" is motivated by her trauma, Adrestian revanchism, Ionius telling her dumb things or Agarthans agarthaning, but her goal and vision are everything to Supreme Leader.

So she will do anythign to see them realised, even if it means sacrificing her people, starting a war, tweaking "the truth" or using her own trauma to motivate and recruit powerful people who might assist her with her goals.

To reply to your question, IMO she sees herself as someone who had once been a victim, but won't let that stop her from reaching her goals, even if it means creating thousands of "hers" in the process, because, in her mind, reaching her goal is more important than anything else.

*I know, she refutes Dimitri's claim that she is "strong" or laughs at it, but imo, it was more in the sense of "I was weak and became strong" so everyone can "become" strong.

**I don't think she wanted to throw away her life, but more something in the lines of "putting my life on the line" or sacrificing her precious (and to see how precious it is, just play CF lol) humanity.

EXCUSE ME??????????????????

WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN SERIES FINALE????????????????

[tea-stained]

I honestly love La Squadra so much. Their designs are so weird. You have:

BDSM enjoyer/leather daddy with fucked up eyes

Italian mafia man walking stereotype [but like. make it into a porn parody]

Carrot top boy with no chin and a black-pink onesie. also he's big

Androgenous half-naked purple person who is unbelievably pretty

Angry blue-haired ice kitty in a whimsical tinkerbell-ass outfit (god bless i love him just a normal amount)

Lesbian guy with the best, thickest, cuntiest hair and red eyes and a weird-ass fancy pillow/matress-pattern clothes

just. some guy. he has a buzzcut, good for him. looks [and acts!] like someone's uncle

The Gays™ (note: gelato actually looks normal and nice, while sorbet's widow peak is a class of its own, bless their souls, rip kings [*])

And they are like. The fucking assassin team! So you better take them seriously!

i'd commit fucking tax fraud for them i love them so much it hurts

MURDER WORLD AU

So. Murder Drones X Rain world idea? From this post?

Yeah I did concept Doodles woooooooooooooo letsago- (also. Rot warning.)

Ah yes, Drones into Slugcats! Simple enough design tho I might change that arm pattern when I do more hard-line, non conceptual doodles of em.

Also Fluff / Fur = hair? Yeh seems fitting

PURPOSED ORGANISMS GO BRRRR-

Like from the other post about this au idea, We got combinations of other species going on! And a bit of a rot problem..

Honestly, knowing the uh. origins + assumed process of worker drones to disassembly drones.. the rot absolutely made sense here, along with Miros Vulture Wings and the like.

Defo changing the stinger later though. Not fully decided on its look, tbh. I would Like to imagine that, instead of Nanites or whatever.. its just FULL ON VOID FLUID. Absolute Karma will find loop holes around the cycle, lol..

oh yeah. Speaking of-

Just. Doodles on the Absolute Solver in the Murder Drones X Rain world crossover. Or well. Absolute Karma..

I honestly have. zero. idea. on. its. symbol. design. Apart from modifying the OG standard karma symbol. So yea, Doodles above and all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sumn Sumn Sumn, Large usage of ROT, VOID FLUID, and ECHOS, yada yada ya.

THIS. HOWEVER, IS DOODLES IM PROUD OF. Specifically the ideas I used

I remembered how the uh. Murals on Iterators show Ancients face with this Grey Scribbled out paint, along with the ancients respective Karma Symbol and uh--

So I turned Young Tessa's Face into The Survivor / Karma 5 Symbol!

I simply chose the Karma 5 symbol as it fitted the best for the simple look that Young tessa (two eyes, that is) so ye

Also Doodle of Adult / Current Tessa! Golden mask and all!! Might modify it if I doodle her more to make it a little more ancient-y, yknow?

She still keeps her bow. As a treat.

Defo wana doodle this au I suddenly spontaneously made more sooooo tag time!!!
