OHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
dimitri and hubert = all shall burn
"Go Go Team Outsiders", "Go Go Team Axe Bi", and "Go Go Team Murder" v_v
Honestly, the idea of Hilda as Edelgard's "whaaaat don't be silly, I'm just a frivolous little courtier how could I possibly be a spymaster, don't mind me" lady-in-waiting is strong.
Meanwhile Claude and Dedue are just... genuinely pleasant. They're just nice people, having a nice time. It's fine. Things can be nice.
And Hubert is... supportive. Unfortunately.
I remember another artist talking about the idea of hubert being dimitri's retainer (although they've more often drawn the idea of hubert with claude), and they mentioned how they would definitely be very. Oh Boy
because Hubert is supportive, but able to focus all that Murderous Rage a little better
lmao oh god i would have to find where exactly, it will take some trawling
Hilda playing extremely innocent during White Clouds though
Claude and Dedue is extremely good content
Hubert would be using his plotting ways against a different revenge but would be just as devoted to it
Hubert and Dimitri are extremely cursed content
and would be even more "I do shit for your good but that doesn't mean I tell you about it" pre time skip
found it! it was just a tiny little thing, they haven't made any fanart for the idea of BL Hubert. also there's lots of smutty chat in the rest of their blog and discussion of fandom discourse, so heads up before any exploring lmao
Okay but Dedue loving Claude the way he loves Dimitri would be cute as hell
god the aesthetics and thematic implications of these swaps are all SO GOOD
claude 100% deserves dedue
I have a couple of scripts for minicomics expanding on this AU that I might clean up and do if people are into it
yes
also sidenote doing this made me realize that both Edelgard and Hilda have heart motifs in their designs, so that's fun
Ooh, I'd love to see more of this, yes.
this turned out so well zoe!!!!
I'd definitely be interested in seeing more!
also idk where else to put this, someone on twitter was yelling about dedue in pink so
Dedue in pink is very good
claude and dedue is peak good kids content
i'm looking at the twitter comments and cry laughing
"Savage Boar" Negative, insulting, not helping.
"Good, good, let the hate run through you." Positive, supportive, lets them know his feelings are valid, unlocks the infinite power of the Dark Side.
Dmitri and Hubert came out to attack people and honestly they're having so much fun right now
too lazy to switch accounts again but
someone on tumblr asked if they could cosplay hilda (!!!!) so I drew up this:
i forgot the belt buckle tho
hello everyone i have returned with retainerswap hildagard (c support ??) ty
"I'd make other people do anything for you" omg
thank you
I imagine Hilda as Edelgard's vassal just, is an expert at getting other people to do things for Edie
Usually Ferdinand
Trololol, the last panel.
oh no claude and dedue would just be absolute sweethearts as retainers tho
just dunking on racism 24/7
their minicomic is next, it's written and thumb'd out i just need a break
