lance i literally just bought this on dvd for u in my next care package a few days ago

Hmmm. Interesting question. So here this is just my opinion and you might disagree with me, but I think when Asagiri wrote Chapter 10 (the first chapter where Chuuya appeared) 5-6yrs ago, Asagiri did not have the intention/plan to put a backstory on Chuuya’s hat. 

When Dazai met Chuuya for the first time in four years, one of the first things he said is “I’ve always wondered about this, where do you buy such an embarrassing hat?” It implied that Dazai did not know about the hat’s story which I think with the given Fifteen backstory now, is weird for someone like Dazai. I mean even if he didn’t care about Rimbaud and Chuuya, at the very least he should be able to tell that that hat was Rimbaud’s just by the appearance. Moreover, to me it implied that the hat doesn’t really have any story, rather Chuuya just wears it for fashion, simply because he likes it.

But then years after, now that Asagiri wanted to put a hat story, I honestly got quite surprised and confused when I learned about that. But this is in the case that Chuuya has only worn one hat ever since, and that hat being Rimbaud’s. 

However, it is important to note that 16-year old Chuuya and present Chuuya wore different hats, as clearly distinguished by the official art/goods.

Though, I still have some reservations about this since in Harukawa-sensei’s art, they kinda look the same.

Chuuya got Rimbaud’s hat when he was 15 years old. I think, this is just a conjecture though, that Chuuya started to take a liking to hats when he got used to wearing Rimbaud’s hat. He then bought hats, particularly black ones as it is written in his profiles that he loves black hats. So Chuuya actually owns hats, which for Dazai all look embarrassingly bad or maybe not, it’s just Dazai being the teasing bastard that he is, mocking anything about Chuuya.

Shout-out to Derpcakes and Hatchuu for being gosh dang amazing and creating Coffeefic. Y'all have made me love this fandom even more! Also they're both an absolute delight to talk to.

Wings/Feathers, definitely. She’s essentially a kinda mix between a valkyrie and Nike, and while the designs I’ve shown prob don’t incorporate it too much, when queen she has a lot of that sort of imagery (her crown has 4 wings on it, and her dark blood outfit has a side cape with a wing motif).

As for how people remember her...... do you mean how she would be remembered by the people posthumously or remembered as in worshiped?

For the first, Madora being deified is only possible in a good end where she becomes Queen of Nohr and ushers in a Golden Age..... Any timeline where she dies (aka any Hoshido timeline), she will not be deified. Then, of course, there’s the fact that she builds up somewhat of a heroic legend around herself even before she slays Anankos. Then of course her slaying of Anankos, basically a god, cements her reputation among the people. Her time as a ruler, and her ushering in of a Golden Age of peace overshadow her more fantastical exploits, making her well-known self as a ruler more mundane, while conversely elevating her time beforehand to a kind of legend that gets things added, changed, etc. with each retelling.

It’s also a headcanon of mine that I’ve had since the April trailer came out, that Nohr was a more secular country than Hoshido, and the religion they partook in was not the worship of a deity, per se, but the veneration of ancestors....... It’s a bit different than something like Chinese veneration of ancestors, however, in the sense that while yes, the deceased of anyone’s family could watch over them, those of the royal family were invoked as beings presiding over a concept that their rule embodied or what they were known for (this could be as big as life/death, or as small as gardening or somesuch).

Thus, when Madora dies, both the image of her of a good ruler, and the mythological elements of her youth mix together, and after death, gets associated with victory.

As for how people invoke her, she gives away most of her personal assets after death, so having one of her brooches, necklaces, etc. is a surefire way to invoke her. Thing associated with her dragon form, too, are seen as tokens to be invoked, and children who might happen upon a scale shaped rock might pick it up, quietly wishing for Madora to help them on their test at school.

I’m sure other, more significant pieces in her possession (wedding dress, etc) were given to museums, or other places for safekeeping, and people might visit there to gain her blessing if they didn’t have anything else.
