independent, selective & mutuals only multifandom multimuse. muses as portrayed by gany. est. march 2019
first and foremost, my activity will be sporadic. do not follow me if you are a minor (under 18). i only interact with people i’m following & follows me back. if we’re mutuals, you can write me starters at any point. i encourage random starters, actually because i always enjoy pleasant little surprises. you can also hop into my IMs at any given point to plot. i do have discord which i’m willing to give out upon request. doubles are sexy.
* BEFORE YOU FOLLOW.
i have ADHD and depression. these two affect my day to day life quite a bit. so keep this in mind when interacting with me. in another section i'll have this outlined more in detail.i do not tolerate bigotry of any kind. i am anti-cop. i do not tolerate racism, homophobia, ableism, transphobia. i also do not tolerate incest and pedophilia apologists. if you write incest and/or pedophilia i am blocking you.i interpret canon like how i would interpret a book. i read the evidence on screen and draw my own conclusions. some will say i'm canon divergent but honestly? this is gany canon.i'm not a fan of drama. i'm older, i'm tired, i run on caffeine. i don't consider call outs about predators and bigots drama, but please keep vagueblogging to a minimum. do not bring known abusers and bigots onto my dash (ie. ares/jay/snow, matt, etc etc).
* what it means to write with me.
like i said, i have adhd and some other stuff. my activity will be sporadic. on some days, i can write a chain of replies non-stop, no problem. some weeks i can't even write three words. as a partner i ask for mostly patience and understanding.i have a tendency to hyperfixate on certain things and it's not something i can really control. some partners will take priority over others. because of that, some replies come slower than others and some faster than others. it's not personal. do not guilt trip me for this. i will block you so fast.please understand that because of adhd i will have a tendency to be spotty on OOC replies. i barely check IMs as is and sometimes when i do, i forget to reply. it's not personal. it's never personal. if it's personal i'll do my best to communicate it or block you.it's okay to jump in and introduce yourself but please don't do small talk with me. i do it enough IRL and it's really tiring. i don't want to mask online either so i won't. if you want to say something, just say it. if you see a meme and you think of me just send it. do not ask me "how are you?" if you're not ready to hear the real answer.i don't always have the energy to talk to everyone. it's hard catching me on IMs. if i don't reply to you within a week, feel free to shoot me another message. please don't pressure me to reply to you ic and/or ooc. i'm here to relax. just because you see me on the dash doesn't mean i'm necessarily around to talk. sometimes i just want to talk at the void.in terms of ic replies, i do drop things a lot. i've been roleplaying on tumblr for ten years now. i found myself in situations where i have to force replies and it's made this hobby a drag. so, i drop things pretty liberally. i usually drop things in forms of a post and i only tag the things i wanna keep.
* PLEASE...
tag content and mentions of: sexual assault, eating disorders, body dysmorphia, self-harm, suicide, calorie counting, eye-gore, and both mothers and fathers day.do not take any headcanons from my blog. a lot of them are very personal interpretations, so that's just weird. i don't really care about graphics anymore honestly but if i do see you take my graphics i'll judge you a little.
* writing preferences.
for most parts, **i am a slow writer. **most times, i tend write a lot. you are by no means required to match my length. all i ask for is something to work with. i have trouble reading double small, sup/sub + small, words that are very spaced out etc. so i will adjust the formatting so i can read it.i prefer to plot my interactions first. what this means is sometimes i might ask to plot a pre-existing relationship, or to plot a potential thread idea.i’m very hesitant with being exclusive to muses. i can do it but it requires extensive writing, plotting, and whatnot. i will have mains which means that they’re the first people i go to for plotting, for threads, and their portrayal is who i’m referring to in interactions.i am open to shipping. most of my muses are bisexual but some are lesbian, some are gay. i also will have trans muses — do not fetishize my trans muses.
* CONTENT WARNINGS.
some of the common triggers you'll see here are mostly medical related. if i go into any vivid description of gore or blood, it will be tagged accordingly. my interpretation of addison also include internalized homophobia. it's not intense nor present in every interaction but it is fundamental to how i personally write her. i also write addison as mentally ill so she will dissociate, catastrophize, etc. again, i will tag accordingly.there will be NSFW content present on this blog. the two shows she’s on are rife with sexual references and innuendos. i will write smut or nc-17 content. however, i am very selective when it comes to sexual writing of any kind. most times, i will simply fast forward, allude to it, and fade-to-black.i tag all the “common” triggers such as in suicide, assault, sexual assault, eating disorders, gore, etc. as this is a medical muse and she spends a lot of times in hospitals, i will not be tagging hospitals, needles, etc unless they are visuals. if i did not tag one of your triggers just ask me.
* a little bit about me!
hiya! my name is ganymede, most people just call me gany! i'm 27, and i use she/he/they pronouns, so feel free to alternate. i'm chinese-canadian, i can communicate in both english or chinese if you want. i'm currently learning french and japanese. i operate under the eastern standard timezone, so i'm usually around when most people are around.

* BACKGROUND.

CHARLATAN. you have always had a way with people. you know what makes them tick, you can tease out their hearts' desires after a few minutes of conversation, and with a few leading questions you can read them like they were children's books. it's a useful talent, and one that you're perfectly willing to use for your advantage. you know what people want and you deliver, or rather, you promise to deliver. common sense should steer people away from things that sound too good to be true, but common sense seems to be in short supply when you're around.
born on the windiest day of the month at the peak of mt. tianheng, a half-elf infant was born during the celebration of the moon. no one could remember exactly what they named them. no one in the village could remember that family that came and left as quick as the wind.lewyn couldn't remember when his name wasn't lewyn. they could barely even remember their parents. most of his early childhood was a blur — he was raised by an owlbear with an owlbear sibling. they fed him, kept him warm, and he would be the child raised by beasts.one day the cave they inhabited was razed. there was blood everywhere and lewyn was taken in by a mercenary — thunderclap, they called her. thunderclap would take lewyn in and try to raise him as her own. what lewyn never knew was that thunderclap was a criminal and he was groomed to be her successor.since a young age he's learned how to pickpocket, how to win in a knife-fight, how to pick locks, etc.
one fateful day, lewyn failed to pickpocket a wealthy looking person. he thought he would be punished but instead, took him in and properly fed him for the first time ever in his lifetime. during this time, it was discovered that lewyn had a natural talent for music. at this point, the orchestral violinist taught the kid how to play a lute to begin.lewyn ended up spending years with this man, fenian. fenian was an elf and taught him elvish, so he could feel more connected with his elf-side. during the day, the two of them would perform together as a duo.thunderclap struck. they called her thunderclap for a reason. he came home one day to find the woman sitting on their dinner table, fenian's body staked with a knife. lewyn was horrified and it was then, he committed his first crime — or, what he considers a crime: he killed her.it became a game of survival after that. he left the town, ran as far away as he could until he was physically spent. at one point during his need for survival, he ran into another elf — well, drow. they both had their eyes on the same loaf of bread and were eager to try to kill the other for it until they finally compromised on sharing.eulalia would be his first love ... and only love. for the next 20 years, eulalia and lewyn would move from city to city, town to town, across the land for she was hunted by her own people for denouncing lolth. eventually, eulalia met her demise during a chase — lewyn was bleeding out and presumed dead but eulalia was pushed off the cliff. after that, he would never truly open his heart again.for the rest of the years after, lewyn would become a wandering traveller. they would see realms beyond what they could've ever imagined. they would experience things they didn't know was possible.
* NOTES.
* semi-important.
i've had lewyn since 2019 and was a fairly active dnd player. lewyn's been to a lot of campaigns and retains all their memories from them. he's been to two modern day pride parade campaigns, so sometimes he will make references to modern culture and memes.

you can find lewyn in the following locations :EMERALD GROVE: you can find them hanging out by alfira as they try to figure out the weeping dawn for her to perform. when you interact with him, you'll be able to see him performing on the streets of baldur's gate & then being arrested for grand larceny the next day, which eventually prompts him to leave the city.GOBLIN CAMP. you can find him in the goblin camp disguised as a drow, trying to fish for information. there will be a passive insight/perception check. if you pass it, you can gently probe him via the tadpole and he'll shrug and work with you. he will also tell you not to drink the liquor because he poisoined it.

* BACKGROUND.

URCHIN. you grew up on the streets alone, orphaned, and poor, you had no one to watch over you or to provide for you, so you learned to provide for yourself. you fought fiercely over food and kept a constant watch out for other desperate souls who might steal from you. you slept on rooftops and in alleyways, exposed to the elements, and endured sickness without the advantage of medicine or a place to recuperate. you've survived despite all odds, and did so through cunning, strength, speed, or some combination of each.
azelhart amberose was born to wood elf, aetheric and human, ophelia amberose. aetheric was a circle of the moon druid who sought the moonmaiden selûne for guidance; ophelia was a hunter. eventually they settled down in a small village of moonhaven in faerûn. the place of where azelhart is born is a mystery but she's always believed that moonhaven is her place of birth.after her coming of age rite, there were news spreading around about children being kidnapped by sharrans. not wanting to take a risk, aetheric compromised with ophelia to move to the city of waterdeep, the city where she grew up in and to seek refuge in the house of the moon. unfortunately on the way to the city, they were ambushed. her parents' last parting words to a young azelhart were GET TO WATERDEEP.
using all the skills she's learned during her rite and the practical ranger skills learned from her mother, azelhart somehow snuck into the city. however, life in the city was anything but easy. no longer a practicing selûnite as she once was, she eventually found herself intertwined in the underbellies of a society of rangers. due to her natural talents and her background as a rogue, she was contracted as a gloomstalker ranger.during one of her expeditions she would meet a bard named lewyn and his partner, eulalia. initially distrusting of the two and hostile towards the drow, eulalia, their fates would become intertwined. eventually, the three were inseparable.at some point, azelhart grew tired of being in the dark all the time. she wanted colours in her life, she wanted to see the sun and the flowers. it is during an expedition in an owlbear cave that she befriended one she named "tusks". eventually, she would formally change from gloomstalker to beast master.it would be years later that she would encounter lewyn again, learning of the passing of her friend, eulalia. the two found a wolf cub and lewyn bestowed it the name MOON MOON. since tusks left her party at some point, moon moon became her new beastly companion. azelhart shed the darkness that gloomed over her and began to live in the radiance of the sun.

laurel was kidnapped at the age of 16, her father was not allowed to pay the ransom by the governor. somehow, she was still released. she also watched her mother get institutionalized. laurel is a victim of child neglect & abuse. laurel also specifically says that she had an eating disorder and did cocaine to suppress her appetite.
initial impressions laurel appears as quiet and unapproachable. at her core, she is idealistic, kind, and has a strong sense of justice. however, due to her trauma and the events involved with the keating five, she is forced to utilize her more analytical as well as cynical side. she's intelligent and isn't afraid to speak her mind. she shows very little tolerance for bullshit and her sarcasm is one of the many weapons in her arsenal. however, as she is severely traumatized by the events of her childhood, laurel is at her core selfish — only caring for those in her circles. because her parents never put her first, she has to put herself first at all times.

eventually something you love is going to be taken away. and then you will fall to the floor crying. and then, however much later, it is finally happening to you: __you’re falling to the floor crying__ thinking, “I AM FALLING TO THE FLOOR CRYING,” but there’s an element of the ridiculous to it — you KNEW it would happen and, even worse, while you’re on the floor crying you look at the place where the wall meets the floor and you realize you didn’t paint it very well.
— richard siken.
born to billionaire, jorge — the CEO of antares technology — and sandrine, laurel is the younger twin between her & her brother, xavier. when laurel was five years old she watched her mother get institutionalized, and after that her father divorced her mother. thus, she got taken into full custody of jorge, who had just re-married to elena. ever since then, laurel became resentful of her father and her stepmother.when laurel was sixteen, she was kidnapped. jorge didn't want to pay the ransom and states that he was tied at the hands of the governor. for some reason unknown to her still, laurel was released. later on in her life, she discovers her father's company, thus — subsequently him — was involved in some shady business. this was laurel's last straw and prompts her to leave home, only making appearances for christmas.after leaving home, laurel made it her life's mission to help the less fortunate, the vulnerable, and the weak. she made it her mission to bring justice to the world and to the people who don't deserve injustices. however, those ideals will soon be shattered when she meets annalise keating.
upon entering annalise's class, she becomes a member of the "keating five" — which are the five students in annalise's first year criminal law class that works for her. that year would change her life in the shape of a bloodied trophy in wes gibbins' hands. that night, she and the keating five (minus asher) hid the body of sam keating — their mentor's husband. at the same time, laurel becomes sexually involved with one of annalise's associates, frank delfino, which eventually develop into something romantic.but once she found out that frank was the person who killed rebecca sutter? laurel couldn't take it anymore and breaks up with him. days later, she ends up kissing wes — who will become one of her epic romances and the father of her child in the future. however, that happy future with wes can never happen. jorge never approved of wes, and ordered dominick flores to kill him.

important portrayal notes: |
---|
my edelgard's portrayal is heavily linked with a time loop / reset theory interpretation of her character. for more info, you can read here. this means she will retain memories from previous "routes" in some cases. i also prefer the direction of scarlet blaze over crimson flower so by default i will combine the two in some way or another. by default, i will assume byleth is the black eagles' professor. |
* PHYSIQUE.
her frame is mostly described as lissome. albeit, she is well built with strength and muscles in her upper-body and her legs, edelgard can appear as frail to some. her muscles are compressed, and due to malnutrition and her weakened body from bearing two crests, edelgard does not absorb nutrients well and it shows. generally, she appears to be sickly due to her pale complexion, however, she masks it well. there are scars littered across her body due to experimentation conducted upon her. generally, she stands tall with her three inch heels and masks any semblance of what could be interpreted as vulnerability or weakness.in terms of wardrobe, hairstyling, and the likes edelgard wears clothes that covers up her body. what might initially seem to be a prudent move, her uptight attitude being why she is so keen on covering her skin but the truth is to cover up her scars. only her face remains unmarred. there are scars littered across her body. thus, she usually elects for hairstyles that covers her neck, if not, she ensures that her neck is covered by her clothing of choice.

ENNEAGRAM: type 8 — the challenger
MBTI: entj — the executive
TEMPERAMENT: melancholic
FEARS: mice, rats, needles, chains, shackles, confined spaces, total darkness, vast bodies of water
MENTAL HEALTH PROFILE:
post-traumatic stress disorder: manifested in nightmares. she deals with survivor’s guilt. during the night-time she dreams of her siblings locked in the chambers with her. she recalls her brothers losing their minds, the cries of her older sister, and the youngest ones unable to form speech for they were taken in too young. there were once eleven of them, and now there’s only her. everyday she feels guilty that she is alive at their expense, everyday she vows the avenge them, to create a world where people would never have to suffer like that anymore. it is her guilt that drives her, and this guilt never leaves her, especially in her darkest moments of her doubting her own character.anxiety: manifests in paranoia, in distrusting people around her and she is a chronic worrier. there will always be a lingering fear of her abusers hurting her again, or people around her hurting her. that is why she is always questioning and scrutinizing every person that is within her periphery : friend or foe, she will never know. this is why she never sheds her armour, this is why she always places miles between her and the other people around her. when she learns to care about another, she worries on their behalf and that may manifest in her hovering, in her hyperfixating on fixing their destructive behaviour.autism: edelgard masks daily as a proper noble, then as a proper emperor. however, on a personal level she struggles with reading social cues and can come off as cold when attempting to offer sympathies. she has a fairly limited amount of dishes she actually likes and they are all of very similar flavour profiles (sensory processing).

upon the surface she is refined, elegant, perhaps even uptight. however, this is expected of a noble. after all, she is the heir apparent to the adrestian throne. she, the paragon of nobles, the epitome of a perfect student at the officer’s academy is an object that is feared by and envied by. many wish to be her, many distance themselves from her in fear of enraging the future heir to the empire. many dare not view her as an equal, despite her insistence on it. thus, edelgard constantly feels alone, feels isolated, and terribly lonely. beneath all her austerity lies a love-starved girl, one who craves the warmth of camaraderie, one that yearns the idyllic mundanities to share with a loved one. her mask, is the paradigm of nobility and of royalty; her true self lives with fear, riddled with anxiety and paranoia that underpins the traumatic events of her past. the distance she fabricates and construes are a result of her ambitions, a road drenched in darkness and blood — she knows her peers are kind, perhaps even incapable of witnessing bloodshed : thus, she cannot risk her emotions standing in the way of her ideals. but, it is not to say she is unkind. in fact, there are moments where her kindness shines through her wariness, through her micromanaging, through her overbearing nature, and through the discipline she enforces onto her fellow peers.when she offers her kindness, it is almost always genuine. her empathy, her sympathies come from a place of understanding, or the attempt to understand from her own position. however, there are moments where that approach comes off as self-important and perhaps even manifests as a saviour complex. this saviour complex is the primary motivation for her ambitions, with her believing that only she, can save this world from the outdated systems of crests. she believes she not only carries the burden of her empire but the burdens of the world, and if it is a necessity to make a villain out of her then, she will allow it — so long as her ambitions come to fruition.edelgard’s trauma informs her decisions and all facets of her decision making. she is hasty despite believing that she is patient; she is impulsive and shortsighted, even if she is the precise opposite at moments. her shortened lifespan places limitations above her, giving her a dire sense of urgency in all aspects of her planning. because she is distrusting of others, she only trusts herself to fulfill that vision. she is a locus of juxtapositions. she is both impulsive and a planner, she is irrational and thrives off of logic. what her heart desires and what her head informs her are constantly at odds with one another. thus, she is prone to repressing her feelings for the sake of achieving her goals, for the sake of accomplishing without becoming paralyzed nor overwhelmed by how she feels.

penthesilea: daughter of ares, she, the amazon whose powers remain unparalleled. she moves with agility, commands respect like no others. her father, the god of war and discord, the chaotic energy channels through her dauntlessness. sacrificial, willing to die for her ideals, there is no fear, there is no regret, only death or success.
tea time: fragrance of bergamot laminates her ivory teeth. gentle steams from a cup of hot tea releases the tension within her frame, it allows her to forget her worries for the time being and to only be immersed in the quality time spent with her comrades. in those moments, edelgard sheds her armour and becomes human once more.

* BACKGROUND.

I, PREMONITIONS : FROM ASHES
your name is edelgard von hresvelg and you were born to ionius ix and patricia on the 22nd day of the garland moon. born with warm, rich, cocoa locks, for certain, you were supposed to live the life of luxury of the princess of the adrestian empire. yet, at the tender age of nine, your mother and uncle, lord arundel took you to the foreign land of fhirdiad. that was the last time you saw your mother for you will never see her again after arriving in the kingdom’s capital. living in exile, you learned how to reconcile with the land of frigidity. you were born in the warm and humid enbarr, yet, in the wintertide your body learned to *love *the cold; you learned to appreciate the snow, the permafrost, and the taste of warm soup in your body.you were fine with the idea of never returning to enbarr. you were fine with growing up with a boy who had a golden heart, who had a sunshine smile on his lips. you loved faerghus. you were in your element. and for a while, you forgot that you were a princess of a dying empire.yet, your heart is not allowed to be complacent at any capacity. now, a bud about to blossom, you’re twelve years old. you’ve adjusted to the cold, you’ve learned how to grow a thicker set of skin, and you’ve become more tender. dee was his name, dee was who gave you the dagger and blessed you with an omen : cut a path of your own, he stated, and you were flabbergasted. you wanted to stay a little longer. you wanted to play with him some more. you wanted to dance with him one last time — and yet, before you could you hear your uncle’s voice —“edelgard! what are you doing? it’s time to go. hurry and get into the carriage.”you are not living in a dream. you are living in reality. you must bade your goodbyes with haste. goodbye. god be with ye. you wonder, will you see him again? you sit in the carriage, wondering if there truly is a good in goodbye — perhaps, the good meant that all good things must come to an end. yet, with every breath you drew, your chest grew heavier and oh, how you cried & cried on your back until you’ve reached enbarr.but the truth was, fate had much more horrendous plans for you.darkness…
obsidian…
black, black, black.you opened your eyes and awake in a haze of vanta-black. your wrists in chains, your frame subdued — all you could feel was the warmth that feebly radiated from your sibling’s body that were pressed so close to your own. you didn't know where you were. you panic. your heart palpitated, as if it would beat and beat until it shattered your ribcage. you couldn’t breathe and it felt as if you were drowning.down, down, down…
you sank. your words suffocated.
dear goddess please…
you plead. but nobody came.and that was when you learned to trust no one. that was when you learned that there was no goddess to justify the pain, to justify the lacerations inflicted upon your body. oh, how the blades violated your once porcelain skin for the sake of one major crest.one by one, as if toy soldiers, you watched the bodies of your brothers quartered, withdrawn, disposed of. you witnessed your sisters crying in hysterics, watched them succumb to madness and anxieties. brothers… sisters… you cannot remember who suffered what. you could barely recall their names.into oblivion they faded.
piles of rejected nobles.
pitiful, really.yet, you still hoped for your father’s hands. you still begged until you couldn’t scream anymore.you screamed until your voice was hoarse from pleading.
all you wanted was for all of this to stop…one day you open your eyes. the pain doesn’t bother you anymore. you have become adjusted to the new baseline. you have adapted to coughing up blood that you’ve rejected.somehow, you’re still alive.how long has it been? one year? two years? three years? four years?it matters not for they smile with glee.
your body probed until a lock of your hair falls —
white. ashen. silver. ivory.
they smiled. you were a success. you’ve endowed not only one crest but two.ah, what a monstrosity you were — tattered, beaten, and violated beyond words.but here you stood : the heir apparent to the throne of a crumbling empire.from that day forward you swore you would avenge your siblings. you swore that you would destroy the evil forces once and for all.you swore that you would dismantle the institution responsible for putting this system of oppression in place.
II, WHITE CLOUDS
it was the imperial year 1180, you declared heir to the adrestian empire. ten siblings, eight before you and somehow, you were the only one left. like your mother and father, you too, enrolled at the officer’s academy. you were the house leader of the black eagles house, an accolade that one would boast about.garreg mach monastery, the holy ground where the archbishop walked; the very paradigm of religiosity. little did your enemies knew they had welcomed you into their arms.lies and deception, whatever it took — you must achieve your goals.you understood the incompetence of the central church, their willingness to hire simply any person with noble ties. you loathed the nepotistic world you lived in. you tasted the acrid iron, soot, and charred flesh as you remember the crown that would befall your head. on the chessboard, you’ve already laid your bloody path : your death knight awaited, the church’s pawn to be eliminated. your plans came to fruition : the church’s pawn scurried off like the rat they were. now, it was just you and the two heirs to the kingdom and the alliance. dimitri, his name tasted like memories of a distant past — of another life that could not belong to you; and claude, he was an enigma shrouded in subterfuge and schematics. both were to be kept at arms length — for your heart was a precious, vulnerable organ.yet, little did you realize that the plan would blackfire and the bandit would launch an attack upon you. it shocked you. you grasped the dagger he once gave you, pondering if you should use it to defend yourself…then, before you stood a flash of raven.that mercenary, the very same one you plead for help — they shielded you without regard to their own life and in that moment, when you noticed their precise, calculated, and meticulous movements… you knew your life would be changed.as if your heart was to beat again, as if the green girl that once died in the autumn pyres had revived again, you felt a swelling in your chest that you have never once felt. byleth, was their name and all you could hope for was their tutelage, was their guidance throughout the course.you needed someone like them.thus, you hoped they would choose your house. you hoped they would lead you. you hoped that they would be there to guide you when you allowed your heart to stray too far.you didn’t want to be alone anymore.you didn’t want to burden hubert anymore.byleth chose you. they chose the black eagles.and with that, you began your journey to learn the different styles of fighting.you untapped your budding talent for reason magic. you learned how to wield a sword effectively.and most importantly, you began to open your heart and let people in once again.slowly, but surely, you felt the girl that once died come back to life. as if they were the sunshine guiding you, and you the crimson flower seeking them out — you finally thought that you could find yourself again.yet, all good things must come to an end.and yes, you ruminated. yes, you lamented.and much to hubert’s chagrin, you were opening yourself, allowing yourself to get hurt once again.you needed someone who was like you. someone who could see your vision, understand your vision… someone who shared the same tainted blood as you did. thus. the sword of the creator. only those with the so called goddess’ blood can wield it and they could… you needed them at your side.little did you know you were falling again.except this time you could see the light at the end of the tunnel.with their kind hand extended towards you, with their tender smile —it didn’t feel all that hopeless anymore.but tragedy hit in ways you could’ve never anticipated.jeralt reus eisner died. and oh, you could see their devastation.you knew who was responsible and vitriol stung your tongue. your blood boiled and yet, all you could do was to offer the silent words of consolidation.haughty. they might deem you. but all you could offer was the same hand they once offered you when you were hopeless, when the demons haunted you.vengeance was all that you sought out. vengeance was all you were worried about in their name.it was only fair.
it was only just.thus, you never once hesitated to slaughter kronya. you never once hesitated to slaughter the enemies that came your way. one by one, your heart was sullied by the blood of your alleged allies. one by one, that heart that once revived by the presence of light died once again.but to see them awaken, the hues of their locks transform into the same shade of green as her. it worried you. you knew that at a point, they will turn their back on you.you had no time to waste.your days were numbered and so were adrestia’s.if and only if your teacher was the vessel for a false god, then… you have no choice but to stop, but to quell before the church corrupts itself again.that was why you hastened your coronation. that was why you watched your father suffer from the constriction of his own vessel. he was weak and soon your body would fail you too.you had no time. you had to lead the war to usher in changes. and that was why you invaded the holy mausoleum.you stood before your peers, the archbishop with the imperial forces at your side.emperor, they called you. emperor, that you were.it mattered not if they agreed with you or not. this was your battle and your battle to win.to unite fodlan.
to destroy the crest system.
to eliminate the church.this was war. this was a path of no return. and you cared not whether or not you pointed your blade at the goddess or not. a false god does not daunt you. thus, the unification process commenced.
