I dunno how unpopular an opinion this is but I can't help but find it kind of weird how Jeralt keeps Byleth ignorant of everything in Fodlan considering his relationship with Sitri? Like their whole thing was him regaling her about tales of outside Garreg Mach and her falling for him for introducing her to stuff she never knew about... and then he turns around and keeps HER CHILD that she had with him and had DIED giving birth to ignorant on all the things she fell in love with knowing?? Because he didn't trust Rhea, as in Sitri's mother/mother figure and the woman Sitri trusted enough to keep her baby alive upon her death?? And he didn't trust Rhea because Byleth didn't have a heartbeat or much emotions... like their mother?? Like Sitri literally had those traits too???

SO much of Jeralt's handling of Byleth just spits on Sitri and their relationship. I can't help but think she'd be horrified to know that despite travelling across the continent all their life her baby was just as ignorant to and isolated from the world as she was specifically because the man she loved made sure their baby was raised that way. Or that the man who opened her heart to more emotions was the same man who SHUT their baby's heart!

I TOOK SO LONG TO ANSWER THIS SORRY ANON.

It's kind of ironic. The things that made Sitri fall in love with Jeralt were exactly the things he kept away from their child. She wanted Byleth to live and gave her heart for them, and Jeralt still managed to rob them of a normal life by raising them the way he did.

Jeralt not trusting Rhea could be seen as being scared in the moment, but the man holds onto his distrust until his death. Which is WEIRD because he has lived for over 300 years! He would have seen Rhea switch identities at SOME POINT. WHAT scared him? The lack of a heartbeat? Like you said, Sitri didn't have one either. Did he think Rhea was being secretive and cagey? Rhea is ALWAYS secretive and cagey. And he would be used to that after knowing her for so long.

the man who opened her heart to more emotions was the same man who SHUT their baby's heart!

ohhhh my god.

Just saw Nosferatu. I had just assumed Doug Jones was Nosferatu, why wouldn't he be?

One of the stories of L's backstory that I've created in the back of my mind that will keep me up at night is how L had (intially) GENUINELY thought that he'd be taken care of when Watari brought him to the Wammy's House only to be groomed unrelentlessly, bent in all shapes to find the perfect mould, stripped of his human rights and watch as other kids his age or younger went through the same cycle of abuse.

anon,, you GET IT. you understand it. how/when did you read my mind??

i cant help but truly feel for him sometimes. of course, he isn’t perfect but i truly 1000% believe he deserved normalcy & love instead of whatever half-assed guardianship he was given. a child is just that. a child.

child L wasn’t an investment or a new project or the next prodigy or justice incarnate, he was just a kid. i recently read L file no.15 and it just made me sad to watch the beginning of this kid’s life-altering ‘career’ when all he wanted was a challenging puzzle.

i read watari realising that L was intelligent beyond his years & thinking ‘i can do something with this’

quillish wammy wasn’t a father, he was an inventor. he invested in L, and that isn’t raising someone.

and ofc watching the same thing happen to other wammy children while watari & roger look for his replacement,, that screams ‘you’re expendable & replaceable’.

which i’m sure is a very interesting thing to internalise.

(ofc i interpret L’s whole induction into wammy’s & backstory as. well. tragic but that’s just my interpretation 😭 i just think about L too much for my own good)

i always include L among the Wammy Victims™️ for this reason, it’s just presented differently because he’s the blueprint for the others. but that still isn’t good. that’s still damaging.

and he didn’t deserve to go through that.
