Re: [FILL] the dust of our years
i spent a long time trying to wrangle the triangulation vis-a-vis political allegiances in my head and my google doc but it's funny that they all ended up on the same side, which is a total cop-out LOL. and also really funny that i never seriously considered mapping jeongcheol onto dimigard like you did, which seems like an obvious choice in retrospect!! i knew i wanted the direction of the triangulation to be csc > yjh > hjs because 1) it's hard for me to imagine any world where seungcheol isn't wrapped around jeonghan's little finger and 2) i wanted jeongcheol to have the childhood friends backstory, but from the beginning i also wanted part of jisoo's character arc to involve a disillusionment with the church especially as this outsider figure coming from a commoner background. so i went back and forth for ages on whether i could somehow map him onto edelgard and have jeonghan defect to join him..... (also i have to keep calling him jisoo in my head to maintain separation from Joshua Hong who i'm sure, despite his inscrutability, is just a nice boy from LA... SO SORRY FOR WHAT I'VE DONE TO YOU JOSH.)
as is obvious now i ended up shelving that idea too (though i think he could pull off flame emperor minus the charismatic leader part, cf your svt as antagonists post). but keeping them all within the political fold of what's essentially faerghus allowed me to contrast jeonghan as someone who understands jisoo too well vs. seungcheol as someone who remains blinded by the chivalric ideal and doesn't understand jisoo at all, hence thinking he still has faith magic, is unironically a member of the clergy, etc.
i'm really glad that the dissociative feeling came through! i wanted it to remain ambiguous who says the very last line... i also love how you phrased it, a world which is more purgatory than peace. jisoo can't bring himself to face or acknowledge his guilt, but he also can't leave this place that has become his only home, despite his total lack of faith, so i imagine him going through the motions of monastery life as his convoluted way of paying homage to jeonghan (and that tag in your prompt āĀ acts of service as a love language but it's actually repentance). that's the price of survival...
for classes: i was definitely very influenced by risa's fe3hteen post. in my mind coups would eventually become a great knight with fortress knight as the advanced class step of the progression, since he's not a lord character here, and jisoo/jeonghan would have both have had early proficiency in faith and so would have trained together with the goal of becoming holy knights. but bow knight would be an easy switch to make mid-wartime especially if he had a magic bow since that would calculate damage based on his magic stat. and as risa says, he doesn't seem the type to want to get his hands dirty... as for jeonghan, i like to think that he was always pragmatic enough to see through the church's promises, but that his faith came from his belief in jisoo <3
one last thing before i write out my fe3hteen seminar response on the kingmaker thread!! when i was trying to figure out political allegiances and who kills who, i really wanted to find a way to incorporate claude's dialogue when hilda dies: hilda why didn't you retreat?! i counted on you retreating... not to mention the prior exchange that happens when you make marianne fight hilda, that's just so heartbreaking too, and hilda's own dying line āĀ it's been fun claude, sorry to go so soon. so idk, if you're going to keep the jihan glasses on... i just wanted to share for no reason at all :)
Re: [FILL] the dust of our years
AHH you referenced the antagonists posts ;____; glad itās still of value after all these years, but Iām laughing @ pre-fe3h me typecasting edelgard onto minghao⦠if I had to cast now ⦠(supersonically speedruns edelgardās eugenics/torture arc onto all 13 members) ⦠hilariously enough I think Soonyoung would be the closest to edelgard if he got put through something similar (thinking about the guy who confronts saesaengs + the guy who keeps dancing after dislocating his shoulder).
Can you tell which of your points I latched onto in my remix? so thankful for your comment re jisoo being a commoner and resentful to the church (it makes so much sense why heās afraid of horses⦠I kept thinking about all the monastery advantages the noble children have!! Only advantage jisoo has is his faith magic and even that he abandons!! Iām still screaming about that btw, I couldnāt incorporate that decision bc I chose a jeonghan POV but!! to leave the thing you are the best at!! to let your friend become the healer!!)
I loved that about your fill, how it intertwines the past and the present just like the english patient. And in presenting both stories, one can see the impact of the past. Donāt think I didnāt realise that it takes him fifteen years to reach out to seungcheol!! the ghost of jeonghan will haunt him forever!
he doesnāt want to get his hands dirty SO TRUE. Just today I saw a clip of the Nana Tour, when seokmin mistakenly used soonyoungās toothbrush and soonyoung was just like āok I will use yoursā AND JOSHUAāS FACE. The shock, the disbelief, the horror!! top comment was: that night joshua hong slept cradling his toothbrush. My gentleman princess joshujiā¦
I would never make marianne fight hilda asdamkqas Iāve already made mercedes fight annie ā¦. āItās okay Marianne. These things happen in war.ā Okay and what if I cease to exist instead!! That Claude->Hilda line!! 3 days until Iām back home and you bet I will be going through the sylvix tag and your ao3 fe3h bookmarks and the youtube compilations of all the death lines⦠for the transit Iām going to think about heteropatriachy and the elitism of horses and I canāt wait!!
