#rodweek 2023

[damnilovefaerghus]

I spent a stupid amount of time cobbling together a bunch of S-rank CGs and painting over them to get this empty S-rank BG. Feel free to use or adapt to your own FE3H art!

(If you draw any S-ranks for #rodweek 2023 throw them at me)

Happy Rodweek! I'm not 100% sure why, but I decided I'd draw baby Rodrigue with his mother. Borrowing @recurringwriter's oc Melodie for the occasion.

[Content ID: Art of a pale mother and child. The woman has her hair pulled back in a blue ribbon netting. Part of a gold earring is visible from behind a lock of hair. She wears a dress of different blue fabrics with a black collar and embellishment on the sleeve on her upper arm, and a beige trim at her wrist. She wears a wedding band and an engagement ring and her nails are painted pink. The child has his hair tied up in a top ponytail and is looking down out of frame. His arms are raised and bent at the elbows. A beige fabric is folded around like a diaper and features buttons that are blue shaped like cat-heads and yellow manes, as if like lions. The background is different shades of blue with no composition. /End ID]

My second offering for Rodweek 2023. These headcannons live rent-free in my head. Now they can also live rent-free on Tumblr.

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again: Rodrigue is our nurturing mother-hen of the group (someone should draw him in a little mothering outfit just skipping between Matthias and Lambert with a feather duster…just an idea :) )

Don’t let his feather-duster fool you though, he’s got a cheeky little grin he uses quite often

His favorite pastime is annoying his friends. Matthias is the easiest to get worked up because he’s stuffy, though Lambert has times where he also wants to focus on important work but when Rodrigue is bored there is no stopping him and then Lambert’s notes and books end up on the floor, casually pushed off by someone’s hand.

Meow meow your Majesty

Matthias learned quickly that if he wanted to get any work done at the Monastery, it couldn’t be outside where a cat might enter Rodrigue’s vision. If in sight, Rodrigue starts singing “meow meow meow meow” in various tunes (Felix gets his cat love from his father, ok?)

When Rodrigue is bored during class or meetings, he draws little doodles and passes them to his friends.

Every Kingdom noble was horrified when Matthias started chuckling (which to other nobles is basically Matthias laying on the floor laughing) at the statement that the crops in Dominic had caught disease and produced record low yields. Rodrigue refused to be caught by the nobles doodling pictures of Lambert in a dress, so Rodrigue also belittled Matthias during the meeting about how “this is serious Matthias, people can go hungry”

Lambert knew exactly what was going on and came up with some excuse to pardon the Margrave, but Rodrigue still owed Matthias big time

Absolutely the one to teach Sylvain annoying tricks to do around the Gautier Manor to irritate Matthias. Nothing dangerous to catch the house on fire or injure anyone but definitely little magic sparks to scare his father or wind to blow papers over

(He also tried with Dimitri but the few times Dimitri could actually do it Lambert was fascinated at his son’s new talents rather than annoyed)

Definitely seen as the Fun DadTM

Lambert tries for the position but as King you get busy and he doesn’t get to spend too much time with the kids

(One would think Matthias wouldn’t stand a chance, but Glenn votes for him because Matthias can jab at any man with a straight face and Glenn finds that hilarious, and Felix nearly votes for him because Matthias teaches him all the fancy, complex, and slightly risky skills with weapons far younger than Rodrigue does)

Aw man, I missed Rodrigue week D: I love my pining old man 🥺

[outerspacebun]

So it’s Rodrigue week and since I don’t have the time and energy to write the prompts I want to write so I’m going to do a master post of head canons and stuff I have for Rodrigue and for these said prompts. So prepare for a very long post. The prompts I am going to combine are Mrs. Fraldarius, Felix and Glenn, Felix’s Uncle, Faerghus 4: The Old Generation, and the Blue Lions. This is also going to have a shameless plug of my ships. laskfjf this is a warning I guess.

To start off, Mrs. Fraldarius:

Rodrigue’s wife name is Amelia von Atalanta and she is from a Barony in the Alliance territory and her village is small.

They never met until they went the Officers Academy when they were 20 years old.

There first meeting was a little messy and very awkward. Erwin purposely made her mad and she chased after him to beat him up. When they met, she had Erwin’s face in the dirt. Godfrey had to diffuse the situation and apologized to Rodrigue and Lambert who also witnessed the situation.

She later apologized to him about.

The beginnings of their relationship was rocky.

At first, Amelia didn’t like Rodrigue because his uptightness about knighthood and his retainership. But when they started to put effort into their relationship, they did fall in love with each other.

For Rodrigue, he fell in love with her after one sparring session they had, he fell head-over-heels for her. He beat his ass, it confused her.

He truly fell in love her when he was passing by the infirmary. She was there cleaning and he watched her and heard her sing. This was a couple months into the Officers Academy.

That being said, they were betrothed a couple of months into knowing each other.

As a way to court Amelia, Rodrigue would give her flowers, especially roses since she is known as the Winter Rose. But when he found out that she could cook and sew, he would buy her sewing supplies and hunt for animals for her to cook.

She loved these as a way of courtship.

Rodrigue used to have very long curly hair in his 20s. And as a way to bond, Amelia would braid it and put roses in his hair.

When Amelia found out that Rodrigue could dance, she asked him to teach her. She made him promise to dance everyday they spent together.

There is this tradition in Faerghus where you give the person you are marrying a betrothal gift. Rodrigue wanted to give her something he made, but three things, he didn’t know how to sew, he knew that Amelia didn’t like jewelry. But he really wanted to make her something he made.

So what he does, he knows how to make jewelry and makes her a rose shaped hair pin for her betrothal gift. She absolutely loves it and only takes it off if she is asleep or to clean it.  

Even though Rodrigue said it she didn’t have to give him a betrothal gift, she still sewed him the cloak he wears (the one we see in 3 Hopes/Houses). He says it’s one of the best gifts he has ever received.

They have nicknames for each other. Amelia’s nickname is Winter Rose for her thorny words, her coldness, and her beauty. So Rodrigue will lovingly call her Winter Rose, Little Rose, or My Rose. Rodrigue’s nickname is Roddie but he hates. But he never hates it when Amelia says it.

While they were betrothed, Amelia wore the Fraldarius engagement ring. But when Rodrigue truly proposed to her, he handmade her a rose wedding ring.

Their first date was to the beach.

Amelia unknowingly will say something really romantic to Rodrigue and his heart will stop because she is being to cute.

He absolutely loves her smile.

She fell in love with him because he could sing, his kindness, and his willingness to put effort into her and their relationship.

For their wedding, they braided cords together as a symbol of their promises to each other. For one of their promises, they promised each other to embarrass their children and their grandchildren.

After getting very close to Rodrigue, Amelia would be able sleep easier at night. Him being near her and the scent of jasmine that he would put on, would help her sleep at night. When he was gone, he gave her this plushy and put the scent on it for her to sleep with.

Felix and Glenn:

Felix and Glenn are born ten years apart

Glenn was unexpected but they both were attached to him.

Glenn is closer to Amelia than he is Rodrigue but he still loves his father very much.

Glenn was born crestless, but was still heir to the Dukedom of Fraldarius

Because of this, Rodrigue’s mother attempted to have Glenn and Amelia killed, but always failed. His mother put Amelia’s and Glenn’s lives on the line and if he didn’t choose her, she would kill them. Rodrigue choose his beloved wife and son. In the end, she went after the two and because of it, and in the end, Rodrigue had to kill his own mother.

Glenn was named after a field that Rodrigue would take Amelia to when they were dating, but no longer can go to because they inherited Fraldarius.

Felix was name Felix because he was a giggly little baby. 

When Gunnar came to Rodrigue about betrothing their children, Rodrigue said no.

Gunnar’s bargaining chip for getting what he wanted was to continue the Fraldarius family line/to have an heir with a crest. Rodrigue said no, that Glenn didn’t need to have a crest to be worth something or to be heir to house Fraldarius or to have an heir with a crest and such. And that Glenn would make house Fraldarius stronger the way he wanted to, whether he decided to get married to a man, a woman, someone who was trans or nonbinary. Whether or not he would get married and have children. Glenn would do it his way.

Then it was for what little resources Galatea had. For what food they could produce, what little money they had, or for Pegasus knights. Rodrigue still said no. Both of them were struggling for food and didn’t want to make it worse, Fraldarius had enough money since he is the second highest ranking/second richest noble in Faerghus so they didn’t need money, and he didn’t need any Pegasus knights because they had plenty.

Then it was black mail. Gunnar used Rodrigue killing his own mother as leverage as a way to get Ingrid and Glenn to be betrothed. Rodrigue didn’t want to lose his family he had and not see them for what could be years because he killed his mother, so he agreed. This put a small rift between Glenn and Rodrigue. But they do still love each other.

Rodrigue taught Glenn how to hand-make jewelry and he taught Felix to sing.

Felix and Glenn know how to dance because they watched Rodrigue and Amelia dance every night.

Glenn does not look his father, but looks like his mother.

Rodrigue was going to give Glenn his cloak that Amelia made while Amelia was going to give Felix her hair pin to Felix. Amelia and Rodrigue were going to give their wedding rings to Felix because they both kind of figured Glenn was going to make his own.

Glenn decided to call off his betrothal to Ingrid after he traveled to Duscur, but was never able to.

Rodrigue never betrothed Felix off because he wanted his son to make his way through life on his own. Plus he knew the betrothal for Glenn put a rift between the two.

Rodrigue always writes to his sons when he is away.

Rodrigue and Felix do talk out their problems in a healthy way and repair their relationship.

In Verdant Wind, when Felix becomes a teacher, they have a mission going through Gronder field. Felix’s daughter finds Rodrigue’s dead body and Felix is heartbroken. Something more heartbreaking, he isn’t exactly on common grounds with his own son.

Rodrigue taught both Glenn and Felix what is to be a Duke.

Rodrigue taught Glenn how to use a lance. He taught Felix how to use a sword. Amelia taught Glenn and Felix how to use magic and Glenn how to use a sword.

At first, Rodrigue was really concerned that Glenn wouldn’t get along with his little brother. Glenn wasn’t too thrilled to have a younger sibling. But as soon as Felix was born, Glenn became protective of him and the two were very close. It made both Rodrigue and Amelia very happy that they were very close.

To this day, Rodrigue will say that Glenn and Felix were the best gifts Amelia has ever given, the best gifts anyone has given him. And he truly means it.

Rodrigue’s nickname for Glenn is GG and blue star (Glenn’s favorite flower)

Rodrigue’s nickname for Felix is Fe or little blue giggle. He laughed a lot when he was born.

Whenever Felix or Glenn would get sad, Rodrigue would wrap them up in his cloak. It would was big and the smell of their father would help calm them down.

Rodrigue would also sing to Glenn and Felix when they were young. It put them right to sleep.

Rodrigue would tell them stories to help them fall asleep, and when he was gone, or when Amelia was gone, Glenn would read bedtime stories to Felix.

Felix’s Uncle:

His name is Sidhbh Fiahd Fraldarius

The two were close, especially growing up with their abusive mother and when their father left when they were young.

Rodrigue would always take the abuse from her so Sidhbh would have to feel the hurt and pain she inflicted on him. He would especially take blame whenever his brother would do something bad by accident.

They are three years apart

While Rodrigue was betrothed to Amelia, and loves her dearly, Sidhbh accidentally fell in love with her. He never meant to and never said anything to his brother and his soon-to-be-wife.

Sidhbh is crestless, not that he cares.

While Sidhbh loves his brother, he was always jealous that he was always stronger and could never beat Rodrigue in a fight. He also keep this to himself.

Rodrigue trained to be a Holy Knight, while Sidhbh to become a Mortal Servant.

Rodrigue is more reserved and introverted while Sidhbh is more optimistic and outgoing. Rodrigue was always jealous that he was able to make more friends and keep them.

Rodrigue finds it very cute that Glenn and Felix calls his friends aunty and uncle. Like Uncle Lambert, Uncle Matthias, etc.

Faerghus Four: The Old Generation:

The previous Faerghus Four was Lambert, Saraphina (his betrothed/wife), Rodrigue, and Matthias.

Lambert, Saraphina, and Rodrigue cannot cook to save their lives. They have all burned stuff down and waste so much food by accident.

Matthias can sort of cook. Nothing fancy, but something to get by if they are in dire strains. Matthias was so happy when Amelia came into the picture.

Saraphina is the one saving all of their asses all the time. Lambert hates it because he doesn’t want his beloved angel to die. They fight about this from time to time.

While Lambert cares about Gustave, he constantly has to take breaks being around him.

Saraphina despises Gustave to the point where Lambert has to keep them away from each other.

Lambert is a Bow Knight

Saraphina is a Dark Flier

They each babysit each others children.

Matthias hates it the most. He only wants to take care of his own son.

Mattias’ first wife’s name is Raven von Vestra.

Rodrigue is the only one to not remarry.

Lambert and Saraphina were betrothed since Lambert’s birth. And they are helplessly in love.

Saraphina is a year older than him.

If Lambert had his way, he would never had remarried and he yearns to be with Saraphina again.

Lambert and Saraphina have matching wedding rings. Lambert’s wedding ring has moons all around it while Saraphina’s wedding ring rock is in the shape of the sun.

Saraphina and Lambert were going to pass down their wedding rings to their son Dimitri.

Saraphina is known as Faerghus’ sunshine and when she passed, everyone felt the gaping whole left when she died. But the person who hurt the most was Lambert.

Rodrigue is a little shit and would annoy the crap out of his friends from time to time.

Saraphina would pull harmless pranks on people. She would pull so many pranks.

Lambert, Rodrigue, and Matthias could never say no to Saraphina.

None of these four can sew.

Their is a scar on Rodrigue’s face that he got from when Saraphina tried to sew.

Lambert and Saraphina welcomed Raven and Amelia into their friend group with open arms.

Saraphina always had a hard time with noblewoman because they didn’t like her. She was an unconventional noblewoman herself always training and didn’t care for traditional feminine things. Though she does want to learn how to sew and cook.

Saraphina is the daughter of a Marquess, but her father’s whereabouts are unknown. And she doesn’t have a great relationship with her mother.

While they care for Gunnar, they aren’t too close to him.

The Blue Lions:

Rodrigue adopts all of them.

He is a big papa bear that is protective of all of them. These are my beloved little son’s friends, so now Felix’s friends are now Rodrigue’s children.

He is proud of all of them.

Rodrigue and Dedue’s relationship consist of them talking about cooking and food. Rodrigue constantly gives Dedue herbs and spices from him and his wife. They always talk about their knightly-hood and regales each other about stories of when their were young with their friends and family.

Rodrigue wishes he could be closer to Ashe. Them both being soft boys, they would talk to each other about stories they were told. Rodrigue would tell Sidhbh about different stories to help him sleep and forget their mother and their problems. Ashe would talk about the stories that his older brother would tell him and his siblings. They would have so much fun talking to each other about stories they had made up to get their families to sleep.

Sylvain is actually rather close to Rodrigue. Rodrigue just kind of adopted him into his family because of Matthias and Miklan being a dick. He often looks out for Sylvain and will scold Matthias to no end about how bad of a dad he is being. He is very annoying about it and he does not care. Rodrigue taught Sylvain how to use the lance. Unknown to Rodrigue, Sylvain has a huge crush on Amelia that fades away but never left. Sylvain gets his temper from Rodrigue, funnily enough.

Mercie! He adores Mercie. They talk about sewing and how bad he is about it and the multiple times his wife tried to teach him. He also thinks she would be a great queen for Faerghus. She is utterly surprised that he compares her to Dimitri’s mother and that they are similar in a lot of ways. She can only hope that she could live up to her and he reassures her that she doesn’t have and she will make her own way as the next queen.

Annie! He loves her as if she was his own daughter. He will show her off and boast about her anytime he can. He loves the fact that his own son is a little like him. He fell in love with a badass woman who can kick his ass. He thinks she would be a fine duchess and that Felix and Annette would make Fraldarius even better than what Rodrigue and Amelia have done.

While he does think of Ingrid of a daughter, and cares for her dearly, he doesn’t show off her skills or anything since there is a little bit of a strain with their relationship. With Glenn’s death, she never let him down on his failure and lashed out at constantly about his own son. She always acted like she was the only one that lost Glenn and no one else. He never did tell her about what happened between him and her father.

Rodrigue wish he could be closer to Byleth since she Felix’s professor and teacher and the fact that Sylvain is absolutely in love with her. Most of their conversations are of them training. Whatever is said, is between their weapons. But he does really care for her and does treat her like a daughter and that she understands Felix.

I was not in fact joking about the Rodrigue body pillow
