LMAO. I see you still haven't learned to stop pitting the kings against each other sjffhdsd Well, I actually think Alberich might win this one..? xD
Okay, so, Bloody Crow is, indeed, edgy: he is one of the guardians of the vampire queen using the sword that he powers up with the blood and that keeps draining from his life force, he is heavily implied to hunt the hunters themselves to get the blood dregs from them (hence the affiliation, and the heresy to what Hunters of Hunters should REALLY do; feed corpses to the birds). His look ALONE is pretty edgy; he has all the Cainhurst drip but chest piece is the cape inspired by crow feathers, and he is also one of like, three survivors of the castle ruined by religious fanatics, still latching onto what he knew despite not being able to return (Annalise tells us we are her only affiliate after we contract with her).
So like, yeah, why would Alberich win? Because of the term you used, lol! xD 'Edgelord' would imply like... humorously, comically, unnecessarily over-the-top with angst and blood and all against the society, and honestly, Crow is more serious (dare I say, tragic?) character than meets the eye! Besides, the 'edginess' of his weapons is reduced because it is just normal covenant weapon for them!
Alberich though? Like I mentioned, if you remove his hat in alteration of outfits, you can see similar process with Azur and Lusat, but with bloody glintstones instead of their comet ones. I don't even know whether he did that to himself, or he was likewise an exiled criminal; he uses cold sorceries as well, and Staff of the Sinner/Guilty/whatever? I feel as though nothing about his data suggesting any eyes injury or absence (unlike, say, with the sisters) implies that he inflicted the blindness on himself by never taking the bandage, because he JUST decided bloody sorcery was cooler, hahaha. Regardless of the interpretation, dude is edgy. Again, the blood glintstones are reviled as they're brought by stabbing (if not killing) other people! The dude also uses his own blood to create spiky bloody vines - sorry, but this is MORE edgy than simply coating the sword in the blood that is already IN the sheath; Crow doesn't even STAB himself, unlike Maria!
But more importantly? He is said to be asocial in general, keeping away from people. ...and he was driven mad by "jeering tongues", whereas dropping an item Taunter's Tongue that is golden in color, whereas Ensha is stated to have golden bones, whereas he doesn't speak, so I conclude Alberich cut out his tongue for talking shit about him! Like!! Okay, look, that is VERY edgy! Like, unnecessary over-the-top reaction, that I think Bloody Crow would not have had! In fact, I believe Crow might even enjoy it if people talk shit about him? And I feel like Crow has more merit to needing to keep away from the society with his story and goals, whereas Alberich is more on the "studying heretical magic that those plebs just won't "understand"" side!
^^^ that's Alberich with blood glintstones when he appears in the Roundtable Hold frrrrrr fhdhds xddd
...but also, Alberich is wearing blood glintstones on his clothes. It is like, showing off how many people he stabbed, since blood turns into them. Crow doesn't really show off his 'crimes' like that.
Honorable mentions: 1) Me and @val-of-the-north headcanon that Alberich enjoys consuming blood, like adding it in the tea or whatnot, and that is WITHOUT any vampiric implications, which is edgier 2) If theory about Gideon being his father holds up, that'd give Alberich HEAVY daddy issues, which would add to the angstiness. 3) I just... like, if I had to choose which one of these characters would give a villain speech full of oddly specific, even petty grudges, I'd totally pick Alberich! I feel like Crow would either not even honor his opponent with a word unless seriously pissed off (by refusing to die fast enough? xD), or he would be kind of on point.
______________
Argh. This ask had no business being THIS hard. These characters do not even have a darn dialogue, I have to walk in the dark and base my judgement on headcanons. ;-; Please never do it again.
im not exactly sure of why i started to think of this, but i felt like sharing it XD
ONE THING TO NOTE:
IF I WERE NOT OVER THIS, I WOULD NOT BE POSTING ABOUT IT, MY MOM AND I HAVE MOVED ON FROM THIS, IT IS A THING FROM THE PAST
this happened... 2 or 3 years ago, so a while ago
and it was my mom's birthday
and for SOME STRANGE REASON THAT I DONT UNDERSTAND we (my mom and i) were upstairs (i think we were looking for something)
and i had a balloon with me too (idk why XD)
and the EXTREMELY IRONIC part of this story, is that my mom said to me "don't trip and fall on the balloon string" (i dont remember her saying this to me, but she said that she did, so imma take her word for it)
and saying that probably gives away what happened to her-
yeeeeahhhh, she fell down the stairs
and my stairs are hella huge, like wtffffff
(here's an image for reference and dogs, but please ignore the mess XD)
now, to a 10 year old, watching your mother stumble down the stairs like this meme, is terrifying
so, like someone who's heart isnt stone hard cold, i start sobbing stuck in place :)
my mom was sobbing on the floor, BUT NOT BECAUSE SHE FUCKING FELL DOWN THE STAIRS, BUT SHE WAS WORRIED ABOUT HER TEETH????
I STILL DONT UNDERSTAND THAT BUT ITS VALID-
but my dad came rushing over (along with my brother) and helped her and bandaged her up
i wasnt really there for all of it, kinda 'in shock' i guess? im not sure XD
but i was crying in a different room for a while and then i got up to see my mom CUS YA KNOW I JUST WATCHED HER FALL DOWN THE STAIRS AND I WANTED TO MAKE SURE SHE'S OKAY-
turns out that her head was bleeding and her teeth were messed up
(how did she know what would happen to her teeth is what i want to know-)
aaaaaaaaand my dad waited until my grandparents and my uncle showed up just to watch us to take her and my grandma to the hospital
and in the couple hours that they were gone IT WAS LIKE A ROLLERCOASTER OF EMOTIONS
like, my uncle and grandpa just kept trying to entertain us and like I WOULD BE ENTERTAINED AND HAPPY and then FIVE MINUTES LATER I WOULD START SOBBING
(this happened one other time before, but idk if im ready to share that story yet)
uhhhh wtf happened next XD
uhm, my mom came home with stitches aaaaaandddd some more crying happened aaaaaaand we finished celebrating her birthday...?
idk really the only things that i can remember from that day is her falling down the stairs and my mental breakdown afterwards
Tsumugi:...GRR...! You know what? Where's Rantaro? There can't be two Rantaros, right? RANTARO!!!
