I'm not really into Fire Emblem. Maybe that's why every time I see Edelgard, I read it as Edgelord. Familiarity might fix that.

easy mistake to make that's actually dimitri

I thought his name was dmitri

because he's missing an i

oh my god

this whole exchange

I mean, el is just a different flavor of edgelord, really. The militant FUCK THE CHURCH flavor sone of us went through in high school.

i mean i think it's less "fuck the church" that's the edgy part (that part is fair and justified considering it's feudalism but with magic), it's more "god has betrayed and wronged me personally and thus i shall become the devil". that's where her chuuni aspect really shines.

claude also has his edgelord moments, but dimitri is the most aggressive about it

Yeah, that's a more accurate summation. Also, exhibit b is having Hubert as a right hand man tbh, because geez.
