Edelgard's consistent association with twins is one of my favorite details about her.

There's the obvious of her having two Crests, Adrestia's symbol being the twin-headed eagle, you get two choices to make that'll affect her course of action later on, and the moniker of her two most trusted allies that aren't Byleth being the "Twin Jewels", but there's also how her birthday is on the 22nd day of Garland Moon, and how her hair throughout her lifetime reflect that twin imagery quite well.

She’s so silly

Little Mermaid AU! Sulmio for a kofi - Suletta quit looking and save her girl!!

ROUND 1:

I commissioned a Cornelia animation from Leo.Amaya21

Cannot understate how happy I am with the final result. She's absolutely gorgeous :3

Just going into it, yeah, I 100% agree the whole despair thing is mostly just a handwave to justify why she doesn't go berserk in VW.

Yet another reason VW arguably shouldn't have existed, it causes too many problems by being Silver Snow with a layer of paint over it.

But in the interest of playing devil's advocate, I think you basically answered your own question, and in a funny way it reminds me of Tales of Berseria. The villains needed Velvet to be overcome by anger and despair, but the issue is that while she had plenty of the former, she was so driven and furious that it blocked her from giving in to despair despite how horrific her circumstances were.

In a similar way, when Rhea had a goal to set her mind toward, be it killing Nemesis, killing Byleth, or resurrecting Sothis, she didn't give in to despair. In VW she's in mostly the same boat as with SS, but she has Nemesis's return to focus on and keep from despairing.

Silver Snow is the only point where she has no enemy to fight and has to come to terms with the fact that her mother is dead, that she chose to stay dead, and that she's never coming back. It's honestly understandable that she finally broke after all the strain she's been under.

I think it's a bit unfair to say Sothis "never gave a flying fuck about the remaining Nabateans, or her role as the Goddess". She's dead. Her time has passed. Incarnating herself and becoming the goddess again would require her to take control of Byleth's body, which I think most of us would regard a horrifically selfish act.

Never forget:

Reviving the dead is the mark of villainy in this franchise... at least until Engage had Alear die and get back up three or so times, the last two being in consecutive chapters.

Dorothea was real for questioning the Church for enabling them to kill people during the Red Canyon Mission, but I've seen some people harp on her for it, saying stuff like "No shit that a MILITARY school is training you to hunt bandits, what did she expect?"

Valid argument, but think about how she doesn't see those bandits as just people who displeased the Church. She knows how some of those bandits have a life outside of thievery and had to resort into such activities to support themselves/their families because their government wouldn't. She's DEFINITELY been there.

(Not to say killing people isn't concerning enough of a problem because it is, it just feels like many people overlook how insightful Dorothea really is.)

People just can't take anything Dorothea says or does with a modicum of good faith T_T

A lovely person asked for Ivy and Alear kissing. I have never drawn people kissing before. Please enjoy.

Have good day :)

Fox lady

I KNOW she doesn't really look like a redesign but I ran out of ideas for her
