For your "send me a character and i’ll list" ask. Dimitri and Felix! (Really interested to see what song you associate with them. ^_^)

YEAHHHHHH ty!!!

send me a character and i'll list...

Dimitri:

favorite thing about them: oh gosh so much. characters that act super polite and/or are genuinely good people grappling with bad things that theyve done/want to do are my absolute favorite i love the drama, the struggle between evil and good lol

least favorite thing about them: hmmm people have talked about this in better words than me but i do not like his crimson flower characterization very much; its like they tried to depict him as unsympathetic as possible without ever having hm do anything wrong?? like they kept up his Protagonist Morality Armor while trying to make him a villain and i dont think it worked well

favorite line: i actually have this screenshotted on my switch: "Everyone has something that is unacceptable within them. I certainly do, and I'd wager you do as well. / I wonder which is best, Professor... To cut away that which is unacceptable, or to find a way to accept it anyway..."

brOTP: okay dimitri and dedue but like..... i really think theyre more than just bros theyre like...... life companions

OTP: dimilix for life 🤘😔

nOTP: i. do not like dimi//gard at all. i do want them to be happy and together but i really only see them as siblings

random headcanon: dimitri thinks of areadbhar as a kind of family member! though it is connected to his crest which has brought him a lot of trouble, he feels like he can rely on it a lot and knows the feeling of it in his hands very well

unpopular opinion: this isnt like. anything controversial but he and manuela are Friends. her skillset is very different from his and he looks up to her a lot

song i associate with them: ohhhhh boy i have so many. the calendar by p!atd is one of the biggest ones and it reminds me of his post-ts relationship with dedue or maybe byleth; ghost by rob cantor also has The Vibes

favorite picture of them: i do genuinely love his s-support art; he looks so pretty and gentle in it, but since thats my profile pic i will find another that i love uhh

i adore this card! the light color scheme rlly makes me happy

Felix:

favorite thing about them: everything!!! his character arc is really well done and i really enjoy seeing like. Edgy Swordfighter fe characters that actually are complete nerds about weapons + training and arent just cool and badass and mysterious all the time

least favorite thing about them: as a GROWN ASS MAN he still says misogynistic things to female characters in the same way that like. a six year old boy on the playground might. its like the writers tried to cram in an easy Character Flaw TM but it came out sloppy and unneeded

favorite line: i feel a little bad bc my fave dimitri line wasnt from a support but "If you keep stringing gravestones around your neck, you'll snap." is just so raw

brOTP: felix and leonie!!! i adore their paired ending

OTP: see above 🤘😔

nOTP: ok i rlly hate to be rude but sylv//ix, while it has some basis, reminds me of so many other "the two hottest guys" slash ships from other fandoms so i have trouble taking it seriously

random headcanon: felix canonically likes hunting but thats a big unseen plus of his ending in the azure moon route; being a noble affords him a lot more resources and people to go on hunting trips with which makes him happy 8)

unpopular opinion: felix is NOT a boring character!!!! i see so few people talking about his relationship with his father and in turn his learning to see the positives and come to terms with the negatives of faerghus's knight culture when its so pivotal to his character development!!! like he starts off one of the few characters that actively points out the violence hidden under the brash idealism of faerghus and then later on as other characters/the narrative starts to realize it too he conversely begins to see that having loyalty/honor/ideals can be a good thing and i feel like he thus plays an important role in the azure moon story

song i associate with them: also very many; lately dying breed by the killers 😔 good war phase dimilix song

favorite picture of them: thissssss one especially the portraits

#TYSM i love any excuse to talk about these two #txt #i have two dimitri playlists，a dimilix playlist and im working on a second dimilix playlist but like only one of them is not embarrassing;;#long post

rambling and incoherent thoughts under the cut about how deduebert’s love is too powerful and would, ultimately, save the world :’) (spoilers, obviously)

In a canon-compliant AM AU, if we run with my headcanon that the parley meeting between El and Dimi was largely organized and agreed to bc of the (unlabeled but very much romantic) relationship Hubert and Dedue had pre-war. Dedue, at Dimitri’s request, would send a message to Hubert requesting a meeting, knowing that there’s still unresolved feelings between the two of them and that Hubert may be more likely to persuade El to accept an invitation to meet. Canonically, I think it’s fair to say El has closed herself off to any emotions or opportunity for emotion that would detract from her goal (which requires a certain level of detachment, to be fair. On that note, I also think even in just straight up canon AM, Hubert likely convinced her to accept Dimitri’s request to meet).

During this meeting, I think Dedue and Hubert would likely have had the chance to meet up alone (while El and Dimi talked) and catch up/engage in pillow talk about the current state of affairs. Naturally, knowing Dedue and Hubert, it stands to reason that they would talk at length about their respective liege’s reasons for doing things. Ultimately, I don’t think either of them would go into it with the intention of doing anything other than what El and Dimi wanted, kind of just accepting this would be a last reunion of sorts and then, ultimately parting ways and dying for their respective causes. BUT through their conversations, I think they’d realize they could orchestrate a truce between the Adrestian and Faerghan armies while still accomplishing El and Dimi’s goals and that the truce would be what’s best for their leaders.

Now you’re saying, wait, that’s not possible- Hubert would want to keep certain info close to his chest! He doesn’t like revealing his hand- he’s most comfortable operating in the shadows and he wouldn’t let a silly little thing like emotion get in the way! And you’re right! BUT his conversations with Dedue (as well as his feelings) would technically be “in the shadows,” more or less, as he’s clearly opened himself up to emotions outside of strict devotion to El (whether he wants to admit it or not). We also know both he and El realize, tactically speaking, fighting a war one front at a time is easier than fighting one on four fronts (Adrestia vs. TWSID, the church, the Kingdom, and the Alliance). They’ve sort of circumvented this by allying with TWSID and taking them out of the equation for the time being (begrudgingly so). So, the more people Hubert can persuade to join El’s cause, the easier their victory will be, even if he has to persuade others behind El’s back. Hubert is canonically shown to disregard/disobey Edelgard’s orders if he sees a better way for her to accomplish her goals (I’m thinking particularly of one of his supports with Ferdie… I believe it’s their B support where he deliberately disobeys her because he sees a better way). I think this is one of those opportunities he’d find it worth going behind El’s back for the following reasons:

El’s goal isn’t necessarily to conquer Fodlan, she just wants to remove the church’s influence and the crest-based hierarchical society that’s universally accepted in Fodlan.

As far as we know, (or maybe just as far as I know) she has no issues with the three kingdoms/houses existing as separate, independent nations. (I haven’t run across any dialogue that suggests this)

Dimi AND Claude also take issue with the crest-based hierarchical society and seek to change it as well. As such, that makes TWSID the most direct enemies of her goal because, ultimately, they value crest power and seek to hoard it for themselves (again, unfortunately, she’s had to ally with because she is fighting a war on multiple fronts)

El would be motivated to find powerful allies outside of TWSID so she can cut ties with an organization she clearly detests and who fundamentally oppose the future she wants

Faerghus (and Dimitri) are not direct enemies of the Empire/El’s goals even though they are not directly opposed to the church or the church’s existence.

In AM, Dimitri doesn’t ally with the church out of any sort of loyalty or piety. In fact, it’s probably more correct to state the church allies with Dimi - he has the army, he has the power, he has the means to help them accomplish their goal of freeing Rhea

In Silver Snow (and I’m assuming in VW), he allies with the church again, not out of loyalty or piety, it’s simply because in that route the church has the army and the power and the means to help him accomplish his goal of avenging the deaths of his family

This is backed up by his scene in the goddess tower- he explicitly states that he doesn’t really believe in the goddess and feels abandoned by her. It’s not that he hates the church or has any of the information that El has which leads her to believe the church is responsible for the inequality in Fodlan, he just sees them as a neutral party (which of course, arguably, they (or, really, Rhea) are not, he just doesn’t know any better).

Telling Dedue the truth about TWSID, and providing evidence about their hand in the Tragedy of Duscur, means El/Adrestia is no longer an enemy to Dimitri or Faerghus. Dimitri’s anger and focus would be on crushing TWSID, thus aligning his goals with El’s.

What about the Adrestian conquest of Faerghus? Well, if you think about it, Faerghus wasn’t technically occupied directly by Adrestia, they were occupied by TWSID and other nobles swore fealty to the Empire once Cornelia assumed power. Sure, TWSID took control while they were under command of the Empire/allied with the Empire, but even in the CF route, Cornelia is killed/removed from power in Faerghus, standing to reason that El didn’t really want to give TWSID any sort of power/leadership even when they were allies. In AM, if Dimitri hadn’t killed Cornelia, I think we could safely assume El still would have killed her

Dimitri wants to listen to and understand El, he wants to find common ground.

Even in AM, where he still believes she may have had a hand in the Tragedy of Duscur, the whole parlay meeting is his idea because he has opened his heart to the possibility that he is wrong. His overly compassionate nature (once he finds it again) forces himself to look at options that cause the least amount of bloodshed, particularly for his subjects

Once Dedue knows the truth, I think it possible he and Hubert would work together, likely going against direct orders from El and Dimitri and decide to extend negotiations. Since, at this point in AM, for all intents and purposes Claude and the un-recruited Alliance students (save for Lorenz, rip [we will pretend he was recruited]) are technically allied with Dimitri, Dedue could send word to Claude about the parley. News of Claude’s impending arrival would force El and Dimi to prolong their meeting. Upon his arrival, Claude would play a key role in providing information about the church that neither El or Dimi have (namely that the church/the goddess isn’t responsible for the creation of crests) as I’m assuming he still spends his time in AM/CF routes gathering the same information he would gather in VM route. (He likes to have all the information, after all!)

After the three of them meet, and, after a lot of arguing, I think Dimi’s compassion would win out, and El could be swayed to root out corruption in the church rather than completely destroying it. Rhea would be released from captivity in the Empire on the condition she abdicate her position as archbishop (presumably then allowing Byleth to assume the responsibility, paving the way for the church to become the benevolent force it claims to be. Despite what Rhea does behind the scenes- we know she even keeps HUGE secrets from Seteth and Flayn- the church DOES do a lot of good. If the church starts endorsing the message that crests shouldn’t be used to lord power/be used as a symbol of importance, I don’t think El would fundamentally have an issue with the church any longer).

THEN of course, the three leaders (four, counting Byleth who I think would happily lend the Knights of Seiros as well as their own battle prowess) would be free to focus their efforts on attacking and destroying TWSID, which I think could be accomplished fairly quickly (all things considered) with their united abilities and skills. Afterward, they could focus on shaping Fodlan the way they believe it should be (ie- loose/no borders, abolition of social hierarchies/systemic racism, strengthening ties with regions outside of Fodlan (freeing Brigid, restoring Duscur, improving relations with Sreng and Almyra and Dagda), etc.

Naturally, Hubert would assume his position as Minister of the Imperial Household, Dedue would take up a role as a delegate to Duscur (and probably still build his school bc i’m very partial to that ending), and the two of them would wed as a sign of good faith between Adrestia and Faerghus (and also because, eventually, the two of them will have to face the facts and admit that they’re hopelessly in love). Eventually, their roles in orchestrating peace would be heavily romanticized and turned into a “star-crossed lovers across the battlefield” type opera that both of them would be far too embarrassed to ever see in person.

#im unhinged im really unhinged for these boys and for this happy ending au ok!!!!!!#deduebert #hubert von vestra #dedue molinaro #fire emblem three houses #fe 16 #fe3h #hubert fire emblem #dedue fire emblem #dedue x hubert
