I made my own pain and fatigue scale charts. Because I'm so adept at overcoming my symptoms the normal pain scale doesn't really work for me. I adjusted my numbers so that I could change the number into something I could tell a doctor when they inevitably ask me to rate my pain.

[Image Description: Pain Scale Chart with rainbow gradient background for each row, starting at red and ending at blue. Row 1: Mine Drs Pain Scale Description Row 2: 10 X I am not leaving my bedroom or bathroom, someone needs to bring me food and I need something to dull the pain or the pain will cause tears. Row 3: 9 X I am not leaving my bedroom and bathroom for anything other than food. Row 4: 8 10 Speaking is difficult. It is no longer practical to do activities outside of the bathroom or bedroom, but they can be done with assistance. Row 5: 7 9 Necessary care activities are sacrificed. Academic activities and social activities can no longer be tolerated. Row 6: 6 8 My pain is tiring. Paying attention is difficult. All activities require pacing and extra effort. Row 7: 5 7 My pain is so distracting it is making me tired. It is hard to think. Necessary care activities are no longer all doable. Row 8: 4 6 My pain is so distracting it is making me tired. It is harder to think. Necessary care activities are starting to be limited. Row 9: 3 5 I can continue to do most activities Row 10: 2 4 My pain bothers me but I can ignore it most of the time Row 11: 1 3 My pain bothers me, but I can ignore it most of the time. Row 12: 0 2 I am aware of my pain only when I pay attention to it Row 13: X 1 My pain is hardly noticeable Row 14: X 0 I have no pain. END Image Description]

Rant time!

I have just finished watching Catching Fire after rereading the Catching Fire book and???? WHERE IS PEETA. Where is Peeta the whole time in this movie? He just kind of sits there with quizzical looks on his face. I get it, it’s a long story to condense into 2h26min, but. Peeta is such a central character in this book. I’m upset.

I may be overfangirling this but if I didn’t know the story I guess I’d be really confused as to why Katniss wanted Peeta to be the one who lives so badly. I just feel like he wasn’t given much depth in the CF movie. Which is weird considering I think the movies did a pretty good job with that in THG. Peeta is so brilliant, kind and present this entire book.

On top of that, Katniss and Peeta don’t really seem to share what is going on, or even support each other that much. Aside from the scene where Peeta’s heart stops, which is very good, they feel distant. When they talk on the beach, it feels off. Why do you even need him, movie!Katniss? You look like coworkers or something. Weird. Where is everlark understanding and leaning on each other so much that Katniss wouldn’t risk Peeta removing his goddamn makeup in his own room because they might lock him away from her for the night? You know what I mean?

And what’s with Katniss kissing Gale before the reaping, while he’s fully awake and well? That is substantially different from kissing him when he was passed out and wishing him to not remember it the day after. (not me whining because evethorne got this and we didn't get the picnic scene)

What irks me the most about all of this is: why? I’m pretty sure it was of knowledge when the movie was made that Peeta mattered quite a lot to the story and to Katniss - because if he didn’t, if he was just some cute teammate with a crush on her, who she gives only one and a half fuck about - none of it would have happened. No berries, no defiance, no Snow using Peeta to hurt the Mockingjay and deeply as he could. No reason to have hope, no dandelion. No revolution!

With Peeta, I feel like this movie stripped him down to ill assorted bit of the love triangle. Which is not only annoying, but downright Capitol level of treating love as marketing. And stupid, because, as I hinted above, the books where already fully out, right? Before rewatching CF, I was just talking to a friend who hasn't read the books and she said - oh, I didn't think Katniss actually liked Peeta, thought it was just the shared trauma. Yes. That's what it looked like in this movie. And not because they were trying to not focus on love, because they've amped the love triangle thing up. So I don't get it. Why do you always have to take a nice character and treat them like less just because they’re nice? (Ron Weasley I'm talking about you) Tell me, am I exaggerating? Do I just love Peeta too much?

it's so interesting for me to hear that houses localization changed the script to vilify(?word?) the church bc when i played the game (i recently finished my first and so far only playthrough in lions route) for the first half of the game i was waiting for the shoe to drop to reveal the church is the big bad guys but it never came and the revealed was actually ed. idk if it should have been obvious but i was too focused on suspecting the church to see it or if it was actually subtle as i tend to be oblivious to hints(¿word again?) given in media lol.

idk where im going with this but i hope it makes at least some sense bc i am so sleep deprived rn

and the thing tou said about Henry being changed i am so curious of that too

hope you have a nice day and better sleep than me!

I'll answer the last part first since the rest is more descriptive.

Basically Henry went to Wizard School (tee em) and it was a cool and great experience. In JP, it was... iirc basically close to torture/hellish? It was a more mature situation/topic, but the loc changed it to be silly and fun sounding. For some reason Treehouse in particular seems deeply if not fatally allergic to mature topics and/or properly handling them.

Thank for about the sleep comment and I assure you, I sleep too often!! I wish I could send you some of my sleep and make it extra quality for you. :(

As for Three Houses, yeah, in AM it doesn't really happen that way. Nobody is really vilified (not even the imperialist warmonger invading neutral lands!) in AM (same with AG in Hopes).

What you saw/understood was the whole point! It was made it look at first like the Church was suspicious, but then the reveal was meant to be no, it was a fellow house leader all along. That was what the red herring part about the Church was all about. You were supposed to suspect the Church at first, hence Jeralt's warnings, and if you're playing GD, Claude's suspicions.

Unfortunately what happens in the other routes, especially in CF, is that Rhea's trauma is never explored, no characters stop to understand her motivation, etc. She's just used as the resident bad guy because she's Edelgard's enemy. Basically, you're seeing it from the point of view that Rhea is bad because you see it from Edelgard's perspective... but it fails to work because the game, in particular the localization, amps Edelgard up as a huge progressive hero. AM is the only route that really confronts her about her "views", and even then, it's a mess because all the things she argues with Dimitri about aren't her end goal (i.e. they don't ever end up actually happening in the vast capacity she claims she's going to do).

About Edelgard:

The localization avoids any particularly negative comments about her and changes or outright removes them (true of Hopes as well). In Dimitri's case it would make sense because of their connection, but when it ends up just being another route in the pile of feeling sorry for Edelgard (and... not Rhea, who had her family massacred and their bones turned into weapons), it just feels stale.

They basically tell you Edelgard is very cute and easily embarrassed, and she's just this headstrong progressive woman fighting For The People (tee em). The truth is (as per the game itself, i.e. content they can't change/localized because it's the contents of the game itself) that she's invading innocent lands, conscripting her own citizens, turning her citizens into demonic beasts to add to her military strength (lelz when u can't even rely on ur nation's own military strength without demonic beasts), and victim blaming anyone who fights back (if you have yet to see the extremely infamous "no u" line from Edegard to Dimitri in CF, you've been blessed) among other things.

They basically shove it down your throat, characters and narrative both (in the loc in particular), that Edelgard is good and just, while the story itself is looking at all that like ???. The JP script still tries to take good care of her and her image, but they're a lot more blunt about her/her goals (i.e. they don't dance around them nearly as much).

The localization showers what she does with love and attention, and even when they have to say she's the problem/aggressor, they still pretty it up as much as possible (such as Dimitri wondering if maybe her vision of society could possibly be just and righteous, instead of outright admitting what she's done is absolutely atrocious when it's way worse than anything he ever did, all of which he admits to doing and takes responsibility for).

The JP version is more clear on her being the villain. There's definitely bias toward her (as the writers were, confirmed by an interview), but it doesn't slap you in the face with it nearly as badly. Also, Dimitri has won a character popularity poll every year since the game's inception in Japan. In the west, Edelgard is much more popular than she is in the east. That, of course, is because of the way the loc pushed the writing for her/about her.

Edelgard's "progressive" stuff is supposed to be just propaganda (which is ultimately, even as per the western endings because there's only so much they can change). The way the loc frames it is that it's actually what she's aiming for. It's what she uses to inspire people to fight for her though, not what she's actually doing.

About Rhea:

This one's the real doozy because it's a victim of the above. Since they wanted to pretty up Edelgard's dialogue and make her A Hero (tee em), they needed whoever her main enemy was to be the "villain". Since Edelgard, now popular because of the tweaks in her dialogue, hated and wanted to kill Rhea, so too did her raging fans who gave no fucks whatsoever about any character who opposed her... even if it was just to save their own life!

They changed the tone of Rhea's voice in the loc to make her more angry and villainous sounding, rather than sad or kind. She was basically altered in the loc to make Edelgard look better. Like, of course, in the perspective of playing a villain in CF, she's the bad guy and the enemy. The problem comes when they have Rhea say things that are more aggressive than in the original script, and change her tone to sound demeaning and vicious (when she was otherwise not or not as much).

But like, why? The only reason any of us can think of is because they wanted to market Edelgard more. This is likely a result of the west's views and especially political views, since Edelgard's pretty words would sound good to a westerner's political beliefs... until you dig into them/the actual story content more.

Rhea also being the head of a Church probably got tweaked because of the west's recent irl views on religion. Religion in the west has been looked poorly upon in recent years. Instead of accepting this is just a fictional game though, the loc team just... pushed that they're Really Bad.

Rhea is more of a victim of them needing someone to be worse than Edelgard to make Edelgard look like less of a villain (which again, this isn't the case in the original script nearly as much), and they couldn't use Thales/the Agarthans because you were allied with them in that route.

The other characters vs Rhea as a villain choice:

The goal wasn't to make a playable lord a villain in the loc's case. It was the intention of the original script with Edelgard, but the loc tried to make her actions sound more justified because ??? like idk, I can't wrap my head around them justifying what she does.

Dimitri isn't handled too badly by the narrative itself and he's overall seen as a good person (even the loc didn't alter that or Edelgard's ablest mentality toward a mentally unwell person), so he wasn't really a good candidate for all that. Also, Dimitri's story is one of recovery, and because they ventured into mental illness, he wasn't a good candidate. He was treated well and pretty fairly (Edelgard not treating him particularly well makes sense with her character, but the narrative itself doesn't push him as being a monstrous person. Even in the time he considers that he was, there's depth, logic and complexity to the situation).

Claude being the main bipoc character would have just been an all around disaster if the loc or even original script tried to make him the top villain, yadda yadda (understandably). There was no chance that was going to go over well, especially in the west (have you seen the shitstorm GW caused? And that was with the writing not considering him a villain!!). He was basically safe from the get go as far as villainy if they writers/localizers didn't want serious backlash (there are discussions about the overall treatment of poc characters in Houses/Hopes, but I can guarantee it would've been legit backlash if he was made to be a genuinely and intentionally horrible person, so that wasn't really an option if they wanted this game to actually sell and be enjoyed).

So since Rhea isn't playable and is the head of a Church, that kind of makes her the only candidate. Players will get attached to the other lords and not like killing them, so it won't feel like a badass victory to kill them. I guess for some reason the loc team just... hated Rhea or something?

Dimitri's death in CF is either extremely sad and garners audience sympathy, or in the other version of his death in CF it's clear his mentally stability is starting to break right before he's killed, which in and of itself is another topic. Claude is either free to go by choice of the player or can be killed, and his death is sad and he's not villainized. Aside from how some characters treat Claude's death (in contrast to Dimitri's which is never outright villainized even by Edelgard), the scene meant for the player at the time it happens is supposed to leave a bad taste in your mouth.

So again, it really just leaves the loc team with the option of Rhea if they want to make the final battle seem like a big victory for the player. VW also has its big happy victory, and surprise surprise, Rhea dies in that route (offscreen no less!).

SS kills off Rhea but actually makes it sad, and it's, you know, actually the route that focuses on her/the Church most. AM doesn't kill her off and doesn't treat any character death as a badass victory, and instead gives a bittersweet ending (which again would be in line with Dimitri's connection to Edelgard, and it only feels botched down because of all routes obsessing over her).

So while, technically, the writing in the JP script wasn't trying to make Rhea as bad as the western version of the game, if the loc wanted to go for that, she was the best option. It just... came at the expense of butchering her character to make Edelgard shine, which shouldn't have been done but it was.

#DCB Ask #sorry this got pretty long. my thoughts are kinda. all over the place a lot lol. and I'm bad with expressing my thoughts in few words #this might be a liiittle discoursey for anyone not interested in that stuff #which sadly the loc changes ARE part of what had a hand in the discourse so it's #unfortunately a bit unavoidable when discussing loc changes and whatnot #but also like... what is discourse at this point? ppl seem to think discourse is just #any negative comment ever about the game/loc? like. idk lol #not sure how the truth is discourse but at this point I think it's bc the game has been #such a problem overall in the west that any negativity around it whatsoever is viewed by most as discourse #like I could say I don't like xyz character and here's why and if it's a certain character in particular (of a few)#then it's automatically considered discourse and not just someone's opinion on a game's writing/story?#but really any negative thing ever about Edelgard is considered discourse because like... it's a fucking mess lol #and well we primarily have the loc to thank for that mess so... it's hard to avoid when discussing the loc #anyway here is my resident ASHNARD comment of the week #you can have a villain just like Edelgard - identical even (cough Ashnard) - and if you handle it right #there's no need for discourse bc everyone's on the same page about the character!#but thaaaat's not what happened here bc pretty lady step on me loc/writer mentality. :(

"A NEW COVENANT PEOPLE" PART 6 - J in the series "A Remnant Will Return"

A New Covenant People

So, what more has the Spirit revealed to us through the scriptures with regards to A People Prepared – and what they look like (now)? The Remnant – the Glorious Church – the People Prepared for the Lord - will be “A New Covenant People” – that is, a people who are individually walking in and collectively operating in the New Covenant – “not according to the letter, but according to the Spirit … for the Spirit gives life”.[1]

What is the nature of the New Covenant? It is God’s “new thing”. It is NOT the Athenians’ “new thing” who are always looking for the next new message or the next new experience[2] – the next new trend being marketed by some ministry rather than a true move of the Spirit of God. No, in fact, the phrase, “a new thing” prophesied by Isaiah[3] points ahead to a New Covenant and “A New Covenant People”:

“Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? .… This people I have formed for Myself; they shall declare My praise.”

Isaiah 43:19 & 21 NKJV

And the prophet Jeremiah revealed the essence of the New Covenant and “The New Covenant People”: “I will put My law within them, and I will write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they will be My people. And each man will no longer teach his neighbor and his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they will all know Me [through personal experience], from the least of them to the greatest,” says the Lord.” Jeremiah 31:33-34 AMP

Jesus is the Mediator of the New Covenant[4], and His Remnant are a people who carry the Law of Christ in their hearts and minds, responding to the Spirit of Christ in every situation.[5] They are a people who all have a personal, experiential relationship with the Lord; and who walk in the experience of “the doctrine of Christ”[6]. Many aspire to “A New Testament Church” by pursuing a particular leadership structure[7] and/or a practice of body ministry[8]. But the governing principle of the New Covenant is “not according to the letter, but according to the Spirit … the Spirit gives life”. One can have the scriptural structure and practice and still not have a “New Testament Church”, for “a New Testament Church” is “A New Covenant People” – a people who know their God by way of personal, experiential revelation:

15 “He said to them, ‘But who do you yourselves say that I am?’16 Simon Peter answered, ‘You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.’ 17 And Jesus said to him, ‘Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. 18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock[9] I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.’” Matthew 16:15-19

Jesus was speaking of the fulfillment of Daniel’s prophecy: “ … the people who know their God will be strong and take action”.[10]

FAITH COMES FROM HEARING AND PLEADING BOLDLY FOR FAITH.

"Jesus said to his disciples,

“Things that cause sin will inevitably occur, but woe to the one through whom they occur. It would be better for him if a millstone were put around his neck and he be thrown into the sea than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin.

"Be on your guard! If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. And if he wrongs you seven times in one day and returns to you seven times saying, ‘I am sorry,’ you should forgive him.”

"And the Apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”

"The Lord replied, “If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.” (Luke 17: 1 - 6).

Monday 7th November 2022 of the 32nd Week in Ordinary Time.

Our key Scripture deals with the all important question of faith.

"And the Apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”

"The Lord replied, “If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.”

"What is faith? It is the confident assurance that something we want is going to happen. It is the certainty that what we hope for is waiting for us, even though we cannot see it up ahead." (Hebrews 11: 1 TLB).

I thank our Lord Jesus for the mustard size faith that I have. Because of this small faith, I am who I am today. Everything I enjoy in life such as the Eucharist, Reconciliation, Sunday leisure, even this Blog, etc comes from faith.

In the 11th Chapter of Hebrews, we see the portrait of faith drawn through the key characters of the Hebrew Scriptures. For example: Abraham, David, Elijah, etc. We may add to this list: Mary, John the Baptist, John the Evangelist, Mary Magdalene, Paul, etc. All these people and All the Saints we celebrated a week ago lived by faith and fulfilled the spiritual law that "the just man shall live by faith." (Cf Habakkuk 2: 4, Romans 1: 17, Galatians 3: 11, Hebrews 10: 38).

How do we get faith?

"So faith comes from hearing [what is told], and what is heard comes by the [preaching of the] message concerning Christ." (Romans 10: 17 AMP).

Faith comes too by asking for, pleading, praying for faith like the Apostles: "Lord increase our faith."

Do you believe the message below?

"God so loved the world that he gave his Only Begotten Son, so that all who believe in him may not perish, but may have eternal life." (John 3: 16). If you believe this Scripture, you have faith. Fan it into flame.

"Why do you think I have spoken to you so often of My Eucharistic Face? It is because “face” signifies “presence.” The devotion to My Eucharistic Face is the remedy to the loss of faith in My real presence that has swept through My Church at every level, extinguishing the fire of Eucharistic charity and causing even My elect, My priests, to grow cold and distant from Me. This is My word to you tonight and this is why I brought you to this place. Any loneliness you may feel is an invitation to seek Me out in the Sacrament of My divine friendship and to console My Eucharistic Heart." (IN SINU JESU, Sunday, October 19, 2008 Saint Paul of the Cross).

"Linda Buchanan"

Gosh, it's hard not to see Canadian, China and DAL, isn't it?

Um...:

Nail and Can—Hub

Nal and China—UB/BU (eg, Myanmar National Airlines)

where Nails are Red but a Nail is a Stick and Can is Jane (usually 1oz); Nal is Nyl and China is Nurse.

Am I reading you correctly?

"Net Zero"

Zero—Net/Ten (Netjets, $10k, 10kg...)

where Zero is Ope of course, but, in HNW retail, I guess it could be:

Oz—Enter

"Guy Heywood"

is probably:

Do Yey, Hug—WO (Swoop)

Yey dough—OW (money, funds)

Hug, Yeyo, [Dinkie] Dow

Yey, Hug—Wood. (a place or carrier by abbreviation)

where Yey and Yeyo are Yayo, Dinkie Dow is Jane and Hug is Kleenex.

"Don Bell"

Blonde—L (London, ON; London, UK...)

where Blonde is Barrato

"Tina Hu"

Tina—HU/UH (perhaps, Hainan Airlines, Hungary or a university campus)

where Tina is Shabu

"Jessica McIlroy"

too many to mention. I was looking for MJ (cf "smoking") but:

Jam or Icicles—SY (Sun Country)

works quite well, where Jam is Blow and Icicles are crystallised Blow.

"Mayor"

Yam—OR

Mary—O (eg Orlando)

Mayo—R (eg, Richardson Terminal)

surely, where Yam is Yayo, Mary is Jane and Mayo is Yayo or Marrion?

"Council"

is:

C in Coul. (Coulter, Coulson...)

C in Colu. (Columbia, Columbus...)

It's the best I can do.

"Strata"

Tar—Sat/SAT/at S (eg, San Antonio)

A start...

Star—AT/TA/ta! (as before—Austria, TA Services, Air Transat, Royal Air Maroc, thank you...)

where Tar is Brown and Star is Whitey, M-kat or Amps.

"Rental"

evokes Rents, ie the proceeds of sale. I guess there are also plausible anagrams:

Lenta—R (eg, Richardson Terminal or Russia)

Rane—LT/TL (Lithuania, Air North...)

Lena—TR/RT/Tr. (Turkey, Scoot, maybe Toronto...)

Tea—NLR/LNR (eg, North Little Rock or a railway seat)

where Rane and Lenta are Brown and Lena and Tea are Lima.

what else?

"E-bike"

You don't need me for that

"Urbanist"

might be:

Tar in/Train—Bus/UBS/Sub (Surabaya, SubAir,...)

Bar in UST (Terra)

Rust in BA (British Airways, Buenos Aires)

Burn [One] is AT/TA (as above)

Rib at SUN/NUS (Sun City, Santa Clara...)

Star/Tars in UB (Myanmar National Airlines)

where Tar and Star are defined above. Train is Tar, Bar and Burn One are Jane, Rust is Oxi and Rib is Hug.

"Preservationist"

is highly indeterminate and a potential headache but I will offer up:

Nieves Port is RTA/TAR/etc (quite a few port codes, mostly European)

Eve is i-Transport

Star is in port, [this] eve

Eve in STS airport (Santa Rosa)

[Old] Steve in airports

where Nieve and Star are Blow, Eve is Hug and Old Steve is Train.

"Pigeongate"

❓❓

It's weird that people just like... Forget you're disabled.

You'll be like "yeah I've got chronic fatigue and chronic pain" and then you tell them how it impacts your life and then they just... Keep expecting you to do able bodied things.

Like I can't always clean up my hair from the shower without taking a break first because showering is a very physically demanding task. But if I ever say I don't have the energy to do that. They call me ridiculous. They say that's unreasonable.

It's just kind of bizarre.

It's only when you remind them that you're disabled that they back down. Because they forgot. They forgot you couldn't do everything they do.

I’m so sick of not being able to eat properly. I have not figured out what causes my gut issues or if it’s just a side effect of something but most days I struggle to keep anything down and just thinking about eating certain foods makes me feel sick.

And then getting told that I hurt because I am eating unhealthy foods and if I ate a full balanced diet (and lost weight) my pain would go away. If all I can eat in a day is can of soup and some goldfish that’s better than nothing.

I’ll rave about being told the pain and health issues is caused by weight another day. That one is infuriating.

Recovery plan!

You may have noticed a lot of extremely upbeat posts from me lately about cultivating joy and unleashing your inner child for good health. That’s because these have been my primary tools for improving my own health and mental wellbeing over recent months and, at time of writing, I had already started clocking the huge benefits of doing just that. Which is not to say all my symptoms had magically…

And that one anon about it not being a villain route. I see it as just A route. I can't consider it the evil route just as I can't consider Blue lions to be the "objectively good route" or Verdant Wind to be "the neutralish route!" (or whatever it was supposed to be. The dev's and Writers really botched the whole "Claude is a liar and schemer but he's not EVIL" Thing.)

It's about as much of a villain route as the Fates Conquest route, the difference being CF tries to justify your actions slightly less.

Outside of the initial choice of being against Edelgard's execution, the only villainous choices you have are whether or not you spare certain characters which are irrelevant to the ending. Otherwise, its mostly just "Edelgard is actually sort of justified! Look, Rhea's gone insane and has set an entire city on fire! Dedue's has Dimitri's troops become Demonic beasts! Besides, TWSITD are way worse, cause they just nuked a place!"

Honestly, it just feels like they intended dor Rhea to be the good guy up until they realized "Hey I like edelgard! Let's give her a route! Wait, we don't want a VILLAIN route! Let's amp up Rhea's negative traits to an eleven and have all the characters except a few be willing to join you!"

But like... the devs consider AM to be the objectively good route. Dimitri is called the righteous king and his route is called the righteous route, while Edelgard's is called the Military Rule route where “even if people you know stand in your way, you mow ‘em down” (go to page 8 in the first link for that). AM is called the path of Oudou, and CF the path of Hadou (see here and here for why that’s very very important). And AM shows this to be true by having literally everyone have a good ending except for the villains. It's the only route where another lord - Claude - is given a happy ending and noticeable character development off of their route. It's the only ending where Rhea always lives. It's the only route that has you take on every big-wig of TWS (even if on accident). AM like... is the objectively good route.

It's about as much of a villain route as the Fates Conquest route, the difference being CF tries to justify your actions slightly less.

Um... not really? Because in Conquest Corrin and the Nohr Sibs are literally forced to follow Garon against their will, and it ends with Garon being killed and with a truly good man taking the throne when Xander ascends to become king. His ending has his rule be just, if unpopular, and he ends Conquest finally coming to terms that his father is not the man he used to be, a character struggle that has tormented him for years. Compare that to willingly working with Edelgard as she conquers Fodlan and with her ending card and narration actively contradicting facts found in the game. It's... not really comparable, honestly.

(If those with more knowledge of Fates wants to chip in here feel free to do so, to correct me or to just chip in, since it's been a while since I've last played Fates)

That initial choice of joining Edelgard is the choice that makes the player into the villain though. It's the player turning their eyes away from the villainous actions of Edelgard and wanting to help her fulfill her villainous goals regardless of the immense pain and suffering they've cause so many people. It's Byleth being willing to work with their father's murderers because they don't care about that as much as they want to help Edelgard. And that's because at that point, the player doesn't want to admit that Edelgard is the villain. You're deliberately ignoring what the game has revealed to you to continue living the lie that Edelgard isn't the villain. You continue believing the red herring of Rhea being the big bad villain. You continue believing a woman who has shown herself to be a massive liar when she says that X is a bad guy, Y must be killed, Z horrific action must be taken.

Rhea's "villain traits" aren't "amped up," she is lashing out due to her trauma being constantly trampled on by you as the player and Edelgard. Rhea is shown as the "villain" because Edelgard is telling you that and you at the player are believing her wrong, lying words. Of course Rhea is going to degrade as a character when the player and Edelgard forces her to relive the horrific slaughter of her people by those who wield her mother's mutilated corpse. The Rhea we see at the end of CF is a result of the player and Edelgard beating and beating on her trauma again and again and again until she literally breaks. All while Edelgard insists that it's Rhea being an inhuman creature that is the reason she's acting like this, shifting the blame off of your and her shoulders and placing it solely on your victim's.

Look, I guess we just really don't agree on this lol, so think it's best to agree to disagree. Thanks for sharing your thoughts tho!
