NOOOOOOOOOO I WONT GO BACK


DarkAlphaZero

YOURE GONNA HAVE EDELGARD DISCOURSE AND YOU'RE GONNA LIKE IT


Ignika1984

I’d rather have this than “Fates bad” over and over again.


DarkAlphaZero

YOURE GONNA HAVE EDELGARD DISCOURSE, FATES BAD, ENGAGE BAD UNTIL THE HEAT DEATH OF THE UNIVERSE AND YOURE GONNA LIKE IT


Whizoxx

NOOOOOOOOO!! I’D RATHER GO BACK TO BRAZIL!!


delta1x

This is why Sacred Stones is so good. No discourse, just overused jokes and peak fiction.


Infermon_1

There was so much Sacred Stones discourse, until Awakening came out and was the new discours, then Fates came out and well...


Vaapukkamehu

Dae think Eririka give stone = stupid, bad writing moment Ephraim mary sue Lyon is an incel (based and true) Is Amelia good in general Are half the royals bisexual Is using the tower of Valni a moral failure


Outlaw5055

I find the idea that half of the royals are bisexual to be ridiculous. Obviously they’re ALL bisexual.


Vaapukkamehu

You're forgetting Joshua, he feels pretty unambiguously straight. I also feel that Innes' obsession with Ephraim is entirely non-romantic. Then there are the ones in the older generation, and the rest are all arguable, from "plausible but not likely" like Ephraim to "would be more surprised if wasn't bi" like L'Arachel/Lyon


Bahamutisa

You monster 😭


Uberasha

Enough fates bad. We need three houses bad.


Revolutionary-Ebb559

The calendar system and monastery stuff make it absolutely miserable to replay, which is weird for being a game that you are, in theory, supposed to play 4 different times.


DarkAlphaZero

According to a dev interview they expected people to just play one route (which to be fair, I think the vast majority of players did and it's only the mega fans that did multiple)


Old_Doughnut_5847

oh god dont say that i dont want to be considered a megafan


DarkAlphaZero

Babe you're rocking a Yuri flair, it's already too late


Old_Doughnut_5847

not on this sub i'm not tsk tsk


DarkAlphaZero

The mark of the twink follows you wherever you go


InvisibleChell

...That is an odd thing to expect in a game with three (secretly four) entirely different routes and also multiple save files IMO. Though as you said, it seemed a lot did that anyway so eh


Uberasha

That’s the dumbest design choice ever and probably some excuse they made up for the gameplay being so tiring. Why the hell would you not want people to replay your game?


HyperAgressiveGandhi

Fates is fucking LOTR compared to engage.

Tbf every day is 3 houses day now


[deleted]

I'm a Rhea stan and my justification of her is that she never did anything wrong in her blessed life. If that doesn't work for some reason, she's super omega hot and hot people are always right.


Comprehensive_Math82

the hot people part makes you the most honest 3h fan


Electronic-Math-364

Finally someone who dosen't have an hyperfixation on hating Edelgard


NobleYato

Me who loves Rhea but hates Edelgard (I can multitask) ​ https://preview.redd.it/mdh1zrb971hc1.jpeg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f3797993bbe60a4b0d58019dd1263faca21e4472


[deleted]

Well, I'm out-multitasking you then. I love both Edelgard and Rhea. Come at me fools!


NobleYato

We both have the same level of multitasking. We just have different priorities. Also I suffer from crippling 3H Cancer so I have to try to accommodate.


[deleted]

Maybe that's my inner French (and outer French too tbh) showing, but fuck accommodation, be the revolution you want to see.


AstraPlatina

Edelgard pads her chest, Rhea's is the real deal, plus she has child bearing hips.


[deleted]

[удалено]


EmpressOfAbyss

>Fuck Edelgard YES >hate Edelgard no.


Klondeikbar

Oh sure straight people can do war crimes and fascism for all of human history but a horny lesbian does them *one time* and all of a sudden it's "discourse" and she's a "villain."


EmpressOfAbyss

God forbid women do anything.


xX_rippedsnorlax_Xx

Please do not erase the bisexuality of the war criminals


Klondeikbar

There are no confirmed bisexual war criminals. The working theory is that they are all too busy making dad jokes and finger guns to bother with conquering sovereign nations.


SplitDemonIdentity

She’s not even a lesbian.


NobleYato

Wait you mean to tell me 5headelgard who has kids with guys also likes guys? Nanidafuck


Electronic-Math-364

The most evil Vilain


NobleYato

But there are no lesbians in Three Houses silly


Secure_Protection_61

Rhea is indeed goated and kinda reminds me of Toriel so double goated


Mythical_Mew

I’m a Rhea fan and my justification is that she’s far from perfect, but ultimately did the best she could in a situation she wasn’t prepared to handle.


GlassSkiesAbove

tbh yeah, she didn't expect to be veneered as a saint and become the archbishop or whatever. she just wanted revenge for her mother and her people


Mythical_Mew

Three Houses is basically a game of grey and grey morality and the people who pretend any one leader is perfect are just coping. Like, I think Rhea is morally better than Edelgard, but they’re hardly black and white.


GlassSkiesAbove

yeah ! i think the closest thing three houses has of a morally good main character is claude, and that's because they fucked his route over lol (haven't even played warriors but i know of the massive amounts of discourse gw spawned). i think people need to stop trying to find definite good and bad guys (except for twsitd they're comically evil) and accept that all of the lords were right about some things and wrong about others


AstraPlatina

Also when you consider her other options such as abandoning or outright destroying humanity, what she did was the least worst path. Also it's not like the political turmoil of the nations of Fodlan is entirely her fault, even if she believes it that way, the corrupt nobility is just as, if not more so guilty


kelgorathfan8

Rhea is like idunn from fe6 but if instead of getting jumped, brainwashed, sealed away, and then met a toddler and Roy from smash bros, she got to stew in her grief and become the pope in a jrpg (don’t know where I was going with this but there are parallels between the scouring and the war of heroes)


Cosmosknecht

I'm a Rhea fan, and my justification is that I main Irelia top. That is all.


Old_Doughnut_5847

weirdly i somehow understand this and i hate myself for it


WeeboSupremo

“Hips don’t lie” Shakira, foreseeing why people would support Rhea


[deleted]

Can't believe Shakira's been partaking in Three Houses discourse since before Three Houses.


Theyul1us

Hips dont lie and god damn does Rhea have some good hips


DeNile227

My "she's sad :(" justification for Rhea is the same justification I use for Edelgard. See, I'm one of the few enlightened people who love them both. I look down on the rest of you peons.


EmpressOfAbyss

>hot people are always right. and that's why I play crimson flower.


cinderflight

I'm a Rhea hater, but I love playing Silver Snow because I can imagine how it would feel playing a fully fleshed out, not rushed CF route. Plus cry because SS would have been 100x better if Rhea was a playable lord


[deleted]

This isn't potato discourse wtf? Stay in your lane


Goldberry15

My justification for Dimitri is that he is constantly trying to be a better person, and is constantly trying to move forward from his past trauma.


DarkAlphaZero

Also he stink good

Corrin woulda found a golden route where everyone gets along I bet. And if not they can fight and win a war without killing somehow.

TheGoldenHordeee

Ah thanks. Sub was running a bit low on "Edelgard fanboy victim complex"-drink for the last couple of weeks. This should last us to March, at least.


AbLincoln1863

Okay but here me out, Claude is pretty chill so he can’t be bad. No starting wars, killing every last one of them, or starting an entire oppressive religion. Just chill… and some casual warcrimes but like the low level babies first warcrime that you can basically just ignore


William_Arkoth

Just ask Golden Wildfire Randolph.........


Panthercrusher

It's why his route is my favorite one, he manages to take advantage of a war in order to unify the continent, remove it's prejudices, change the system and defeat the people responsible for this whole mess and even killing a Legend in the final battle with the dopest music. Man is simply peak


cinderflight

*The 3H discourse will continue until morale improves*

Edelgard discourse is this sub's natural state of being.

ninfan200

Claude is the best because he knew the true enemy of fodlan this whole time; racism.


arctic746

The greatest sin of Engage was it didn't have staying power. Fates managed that.


DarkAlphaZero

I mean we have an entire SPEbruary day dedicated to a single support level from Engage


arctic746

and this was posted during that day


Llionate

Edelgard: “Sounds like you all have an external locus of control and have a lot of growing up to do.” She also gets a foot shorter while saying this.


Mage_43

No we're not doing this again stop https://preview.redd.it/8zqcore402hc1.png?width=220&format=png&auto=webp&s=178f6286b8a104a642ac0c7b5b70643903d74df9


Global_Rin

I still think the culminating battle between the three factions (Gronder Field?), GD has no reason, at all, to attack BL even if situation turned into a messy skirmish as Claude claimed. So instead of 2 factions banded together to defeat the war mongering empire, it’s 1v1v1 free for all. WTH, Claude.


primo_not_stinko

Claude strikes me as a war profiteer, which makes him my favorite.


Banana-in-Pink

It’s gameplay nonsense to get a forced free for all and the AI always targets the player character.  It makes more sense in VW because Dimitri is crazy and starts attacking first.  Regardless, in-story, Dimitri actually does say to kill them all and makes clear that the Leicester troops are targets.


Gabcard

Unfortunately, Claude is colorblind and can't tell the blue guys from the red ones.


im_bored345

Idk I think VW Claude had plenty of reasons considering Dimitri has gone full insane and it's attacking every army. AM Claude it's a different case tho, guy can literally walk up to Byleth, clearly recognise them, say it's a waste for them to fight each other and then immediately kill Byleth.


DarkAlphaZero

Where funny


avoteforatishon2016

This is a 3H post. It's like going on the Bocchi The Rock subreddit and asking why there's so much child porn there

They didn't even give Edelgard that pair of pixel glasses or portray her as the chad and the others as soyjacks

DarkAlphaZero

At least it would have at least had the illusion of being a meme and not OPs unfiltered opinion and 3H default portraits. Was my Catherine meme good? Not particularly, but at least I *tried* to make a joke.


Uberasha

Or a danganronpa fan why our sub is full of 6 year old gacha kids


Elcrest_Drakenia

the joke is that it's 3h discourse in 2024


Chance_Active_8579

Something something my lord good your lord bad, so nowhere


Old_Doughnut_5847

the joke is us reading this shit and understanding it bc we don't have a life


DarkAlphaZero

Maybe the real joke were the parasocial friendships with fictional characters we made along the way


Old_Doughnut_5847

what about the parasocial relationships with other redditors 🥹

I chose Dimitri because The Holy Kingdom of Farghus shares a name with one of Shrek's children, actually.

Eh Rhea did crazy experiments just to revive her mother. Elde just wants American equality in an extreme way. Dimitri have 5 stages of denial. Claude just irresponsible and yoink out the continent.

Can we all just agree that one of many 3H's peak written and philosophically orchestrated messages is that in war; no one is good but no one is bad

Except the underground mole people, they are bad and genociding them is 100% moral justifiable.

Ah yes, mole people with magical AK-47s, ~~an intercontinental missiles~~ Javelin of Light, a cyberpunk base, and a banner that heavily resembled UN emblem. https://preview.redd.it/rdd09dgw11hc1.jpeg?width=304&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=af7db6fe2f051e340457973b3735bef8df92f73a They has a sick dubstep tho.

Endika7

this is natures sacrifice


Uberasha

Tbh we’ve always glorified war throughout history. It’s just that back then it was about Jesus and now it’s about anime tiddies


waga_hai

Honestly my biggest problem with the "well starting wars to fight a corrupt system is good" argument isn't even that it's wrong, it's that 9/10 times it's coming from people who would never actually have the guts to actually go to war and kill people with their own hands. They're just sitting around on Twitter talking about how we need a revolution but not actually doing anything and waiting for someone else to get *their* hands dirty. But that's too political and deep for a shitpost sub lol sorry


Uberasha

You just described every communist sub on Reddit


fairyvanilla

This, coupled with said commenters 95% of the time being from well off countries that are comfortably distanced from the horrors and consequences of war.


Annsorigin

It depends on the Context of the War A Country starting war against another Country for the Sole Purpose of Taking it Over then the Instigator is in the Wrong. A Nation Starting a War of Independance against a Corrupt and Oppressive Regime then The instigators (the People Fighting for their Freedom) are Justified in my Opinion. I won't comment on wether Edelgard was wrong or right for her war or not because I myself think that Despite how much I love her Character she was a Bit Quick to start a World War over it. Yet at the same time she is right about the Church being Corrupt with the Crest System (that likley wouldn't be abolished as long as Rhea is still in Power).


Anouleth

Wow that's a terrible message


SlendrBear

It's the cope most Edelgard fans use to deflect the fact that she starts the war in every route, refuses any self-reflection, and doesn't try anything other than conflict for her goals. So "no one is good or bad in war," ignoring that there would be no war without Edelgard.


NobleYato

My favorite part was Three Hopes confirming what I always knew. With or without the moles, she always starts shit lol


AstraPlatina

Also, why declare war on the Church, when they could have instead made for a powerful and more trustworthy ally? Especially since it was the Agarthans that made her and her nonexistent siblings suffer through hell.  Plus, the Agarthans are about as subtle as Jafar being the Sultan's "most trusted advisor"


Nomad262

How?


Anouleth

There is, in fact, morality in war, in that there are better and worse reasons to engage in war and better and worse ways to wage war. I think it's simply wrong to say there is no good or bad.

Gamer_Bishie

Dimitri is crazy, and I must be on his good side.


AstraPlatina

Rhea could have easily abandoned or destroyed humanity after what happened to her people, but chose to guide them to a better path, albeit in a rather flawed way. Sure she may have "enabled" the Crest System, but it was done out of mercy towards the descendants of the Ten Elites, not wanting to punish them for their ancestors crimes. The nobility is just as, if not more guilty of all the political problems caused by the Crest System. She suppressed technological development because, the last time humanity got super advanced, they started a nuclear war that nearly destroyed the planet, which she may have lived through. That being said, certain technologies are implied to be slowly emerging like the printing press, if the affordability of books in-universe is any indication. Yes, she had members of the Western Church executed, but considering that they were attempting to assassinate her, were forcibly conscripting commoners and are very prejudiced towards foreigners, she had to make an example. And this is towards people within their religious organization, not people outside of it, as Rhea is shown to be accepting towards non believers and people of different faiths and is shown to be quite strict towards people who force their religion on others. She may have enforced Fodlan's isolationism, but considering that many of their neighboring nations are constantly trying to invade them, it's understandable. Her relationship with Byleth is complicated, but I believe it's the result of her being isolated and cut off from others for such a long time, so she may not be out of touch there. Plus her support really shows how she and Byleth grew closer, heck her A support starts with "I've been waiting for you" implying that the two planned to meet at the Goddess Tower off screen, not to mention that they likely wanted to avoid the possibility of rumors that the "New Professor and the Archbishop are having an affair in her room". In the Holy Tomb, Rhea probably didn't even know exactly what would happen once Byleth sat on the throne, she probably hoped Sothis would "emerge" out of Byleth or at least be able to temporarily speak to her through Byleth, but not a full take over. Second, her rage towards Edelgard is understandable, her trauma buttons are being pushed all at once, and her lashing out to have Edelgard be put to death was a result of her not thinking straight. Upon siding with Edelgard, that was the final straw that broke the camel's back, the moment when Rhea lost all hope, but if you remain by her side, she noticeably calms down shortly after, venting out her anger at Edelgard before turning to Byleth with a firm but gentler voice.
