I want it to show me her beginning, middle, and end. I don’t want to speculate or headcanon; I want them to show me little Sylvanas, coming of age Sylvanas, a damn fine Ranger-General Sylvanas, I unwillingly got drafted in an undead army Sylvanas, now I have to go build an empire with corpses Sylvanas, because it’s time to get revenge Sylvanas, I just want peace now Sylvanas, I’m coming for your cosmic ass Sylvanas.

I want to know what happened when I wasn’t there to turn in a quest, what she did in the shadows. I want a glimpse of life in UC, without the lens of a player or a person who is there to see the “facade” she puts up. What does she think when she passes the roach guy under the bank? What kind of face does she make if some Forsaken get too excited about their new jaw? I want to see her around UC, not just standing in the chamber where Alliance can raid for that achieve. I want to know if she goes out and just roams the big ass creepy forest surrounding her city. I need some scenes dedicated to unimportant, non-scheming things for this entity who never sleeps. I want to know more about what led her to think, to decide, to execute.

I want a book that tells me all the little and big things. I want that story to be written by someone who loves her and is excited to tell us all about her in life and undeath. What will happen in Shadowlands doesn’t matter. I want everything that led to that moment. I want all of it. Give me greater depth and insight, and all the complexities that will never fit in the game.

I want to buy this book in the highest format published. I want the audio book to be narrated by Patty Mattson. I want to close my eyes and hear her tell me the story of my favorite character.

Me: "Yeah."

Friend: "And that's the Maw?"

Me: "Yup."

Friend: "And they said all souls are being funneled into the Maw even when they're not supposed to be?"

Me: "Pretty much."

Friend: "So is that what Sylvanas meant when she said that Azeroth was a prison and she would set them all free?"

Me:

In the end of Dorothea and Petra it is said that they will live together (and happy ending), but in the Japanese it is explicitly that they marry.

dimitri fans fear he will be overlooked because the "sexy waifu" get more attention which has been a pattern in the past. dimitri is a wonderful character who shouldn't be sidelined like that.

But as a 20+year veteran of online fandom spaces, may I offer some advice? (And yeah, most of it can be applied generally - I just happen to be on my own road to hell with El.)

1. It is okay to like Edelgard

Don't let anyone tell you who to love from media. It's fiction. You can love the darkest villain, the most Mary Sue-esque perfect princess, the pretty boy, the monster with a heart of gold. You can love characters you disagree with, because they're interesting or you like their story arc. You can love simple characters. Complex ones. Stereotypical ones. And you can love Edelgard. Someone wants to call you "stan" or "deluded" or whatever nonsense they intend to make you doubt your own ability to make decisions for yourself, to know what you like?

Well, that brings me to point #2.

2. Block is your friend

Block. People. Who are just looking to start shit and be nasty. Honestly. What are they going to do, have a hissy fit? Let 'em. They mean nothing. They didn't get their trouble, and now they're behaving like a toddler. Well, that's their choice.

Is it hard to do? Yes. But if it hurts your feelings, reading their words, whether directed at you, directed at a fandom, or just written as a general screed, don't engage. Block, and move on. They cannot hurt you.

3. Temper your own words

Two wrongs don't make a right - we've all heard it, right? If you don't want to be called "delusional" for defending that "fascist" Edelgard, don't turn around and accuse Dimitri/Claude/Rhea/Dorte/whoever fans of being the same. No fandom is a collective. Which leads to...

4. Again: No fandom is a collective

Fandoms are as diverse as real human communities. You'll always have your loud assholes. You'll always have your quiet creators who just do their thing and never enter the fray of the drama. But most people are just there to meet some like-minded folks and headcanon and have fun. No fandom is wholly "toxic," and I honestly hate that term slapped on a whole group of people. That said - be what you want the fandom to be. You can't be the fandom police, but you can make your small part of it welcoming to both new people and new ideas (even if you disagree with them). Leading nicely to...

5. Discussions are not arguments

I have friends who adore Dimitri. Claude. Mercie. Dorothea. Shamir. Ashe. Rhea, even. Do you know how much fun it is to have long discussions where we pull in all our different interpretations and viewpoints and personal favorites? It's delightful. We aren't fighting, even when we don't agree. Which is another reason not to dismiss someone simply because they lean towards a different house than yours - think of how 3H might have turned out if Edelgard, Dimitri, and Claude hadn't essentially had zero communication with one another. Reach across the aisle and have discussions - not arguments and pettiness.

6. Keep a sense of humor

I know how important Edelgard is to you. Believe me: I know. I've been the kid who cried in desperate desire to talk to fictional characters who I absolutely knew would get me better than any of the assholes in real life. Yes - Edelgard is an anchor for you, and that is fine.

But learn to laugh at her - and sometimes, at yourself. Learn to mock it. I know, I know, El doesn't understand teasing. But you do. It's okay to laugh at just how ridiculous it all is sometimes. It doesn't mean you love her any less. Laugh at them all, this ridiculous motley crew. It's a lot of fun to poke fun.

7. It is okay to like Edelgard

Yeah, I'm saying it again. Like her. Love her. Don't let anyone ever make you believe it is wrong, or that it means there is something wrong with you. Because it isn't, and it doesn't.

It's okay to be a fan of Edelgard.

Say it with me:

It is okay to be a fan of Edelgard.

Okay?

Okay.

Go forth, Black Eagle. ❤

I’m finally finally almost done Blue Lions route. But wow, Dimitri’s pitch to Edelgard… I don’t know what to say about that. He talks about justice after spending five years torturing and murdering soldiers and civilians alike and suffering no consequences? And he thinks people shouldn’t be disillusioned about their beliefs even if they  happen to be false and based on lies because they can’t survive without their faith? So like… let people believe harmful, untrue things because they might be not be able to live with reality? That’s his pitch? And in another part of his speech he says that we need to believe in the people’s ability to rise up when he just claimed they couldn’t deal with reality if they’re told the truth. Which is it, dude? I mean, granted, he doesn’t know that Rhea is an immortal lizard person who made herself the centre of a cult that’s controlled the people of Fodlan with a fake history. But the very principle of what he’s saying is so gross and wrong and creepy. He basically argues that people can’t handle the truth and so we shouldn’t change anything. Support the status quo because people can’t handle change and if they really wanted change they’d change it themselves–no need for the head of state to get involved. WTH

Okay, I won’t go into detail because I don’t want to talk a lot about myself but as someone who have been struggling with trust issues and how I used isolate myself from friends and family thanks to my trauma and feeling how my brother was the only one that I can really trust…you have no idea how much it’s mean to me to see a character dealing with the same things that I do not being reduced to an irremediable evil existence

Sure, we all have our own interpretation of the characters as well as our own opinions, I don’t want to change your mind

All the characters in this game were written to be appealing, just because you hate a character doesn’t mean that there isn’t someone who like him/her

Okay, I have never been able to properly express my thoughts, Reddit user u/captainflash89’s posts about Edegard actually does a better job in explaining what I’m trying to say, check it out if you want
