Sorry I’ve been inactive for awhile, a lot has happened so take this old art of beach Ferdinand <33

It took 4 hours to do so the hard work was honestly worth it. This was really fun to shade!

I got a ton of backlash for making this post so I decided to make an apology. This post was intended to be a joke, I wasn’t being ill-treating to Claude and Dimitri’s characters at all. I equally find each of the three lords interesting. Some people took the post seriously and I should’ve put a tone tag or anything to indicate that the post only had the intention of being funny, not serious.

I thought the post would be laughable because I have friends who are more fascinated with Dimitri and Claude’s characters then Edelgard’s, though they don’t have a problem with her. It turns out this post was only obviously funny to them and not anyone else.

Half of the comments I received made me want to argue with them though, but I don’t like triggering arguments over fictional characters. A lot of comments were saying how she was poorly written, and how she started a war for no reason. I partially agree with the poorly written part, because she lacked a personality and could’ve executed her plan better. However, the war she caused is reasonable to me at least because she wanted to protect everyone from the archbishop who appears to be threatening in the Crimson Flower Route. She didn’t kill off people for no reason because believed that she had to get rid of some important cards like Dimitri and Claude in order to find what she thought was best for Fodlan.

You can hate Edelgard because there are a lot of valuable reasons for disliking her but please don’t comment about how bad her character is on my page after this post unless I do something like “Whose your least favourite character?” due to the fact that Edelgard is a huge comfort character for me and sometimes I even insert myself into her.

The joke behind this post is that a lot of fandoms have a tendency to put their focus on the seemingly gay characters and then whenever they look at the female or especially wlw characters, they immediately point out their character flaws instead of the men’s. This is what I thought was going on here until I studied that there were more obvious reasons why people dislike her. I’m somewhat new to this fandom and I’ve just completed the crimson flower route and figured out what is going on with the Verdant Wind and Azure Moon routes. I’m mentioning this because I didn’t know a large amount of toxic Edelgard fans exist and I don’t want to be like one of them.
