Is there a copypasta or is that just a single dumb tweet that you've basically already quoted?

I mean you can protect lesbians by murdering women. Sometimes women hurt lesbians.

In fact you could reasonably argue the main conflict in this game is two sapphics hurting each other.

Honestly the both of them share a lot of stuff, including the "family horribly murdered by Agarthan machinations" and "obsessed with Byleth".

I'd argue if Edelgard knew the full, actual context about Rhea and the Nabateans she'd... still try to topple the Church and the Crest system, but let Rhea live in peace and maybe not steal Nabatean cores?

I mean her goal in CF even is to remove her from power. It's just Rhea would've never surrendered that power. The stealing the Nabetean cores is because she is forced to by Thales, with CF being a careful dance of her trying to maneuver to get out from under their thumb when they'd infested so much of the Empire's power structure. Byleth not just being someone she's into, but having the Sword of the Creator is necessary just to protect her from the Agarthans.

It was already pretty clear in Houses, but Three Hopes explicitly states that Edelgard has no desire to kill or even hurt Rhea, she just wants to depose her.

In that same scene we also find out that Claude is baffled at this, because he is totally planning to kill Rhea dead as soon as he gets the chance. Edelgard is the only major faction head who doesn't want to kill a bisexual lady. :smuggo:

Gotta love that the developers were so dissappointed in not making Claude do any actual schemes in Three Houses that they amped it up in Three Hopes and making him by far the least moral of the lords (killing Rhea and his half brother, staging a couo that turned Leicester into a monarchy, even if an elective one on paper).

I bet he'd be willing to assassinate Edel and Dimitri just so he can take over Fodlan and annex it to Almyra once he ascends to the throne.

if Rhea willingly gave up power I’m sure Edelgard would have let her be an advisor, it fits too well with her whole meritocracy bullshit to dispense with a two thousand year old ruler with invaluable experience at winning people over to your cause even at their own detriment (which is exactly what El was up against with the nobles)

Here's a pretty broad view plot overview


It starts six months before 3 Houses proper when Shez, a kid who was experimented on by the Agarthans and who has an Agarthan in their head, has it wake up during a small merc fight with Byleth. This means they don't die and also wakes Sothis up early. Following this is a bunch of knock-on effects where Shez starts following Byleth for revenge and ends up running into the Lords during Edelgard's ill-timed attack instead of Byleth.

Then the White Clouds equivalent has them join as a student (Jeritza stays as the 3rd house Professor). Its also cut short to only a few weeks as Shez's appearance ends up spurring an early rescue effort for Monica and unveiling of Thales which leads to the officer academy closing after only a few weeks and everyone going home. Edelgard then starts the war two years later without the support of the Slitherers.

Then it starts branching by route

Azure Gleam
All the Lions mostly got over their interpersonal problems. The Kingdom is wracked by internal strife and only someone with Dimitri's crest has a shot in hell of holding it together. Success against the Empire eventually lets the Slitherers capture Edelgard and break her mind so she's basically a child. Ends with killing Edelgard but the war is still on.

Golden Wildfire
Claude schemes a hell of a lot more and gets to deal with Almyran intrigue (including the aforementioned Leicester Coup and killing his half brother). Plays the Kingdom vs the Empire a whole bunch to come out on top. Allies with the Empire but ends up doing some sick schemes where he kills a bunch of them through deliberate incompetence to weaken them. Hates the poo poo out of Rhea and she ends up as the final boss on this route.

Scarlet Blaze
Started the war two years later without a surprise attack or Slitherer support so it ends up going much worse initially than it did in 3 Houses. After bouncing between the Kingdom and Alliance for a while Edelgard manages to make an actual alliance with Claude though neither really trust the other. Manages to take out most of the kingdom and notably works together with Rhea against Thales (Rhea and Thales end up killing each other). Also has the only divergence if you recruit Byleth or not because if you don't Claude tries to backstab Edelgard in the final chapter.

Meanwhile on all routes Sothis waking up early to fight an Agarthan has made her a hell of a lot more angry than she was in Houses and she repeatedly takes control of Byleth when Shez shows up. Byleth is... not pleased with this and its causing some serious damage to their body. Eventually you have the big choice to recruit Byleth and Jeralt or not which has Shez either accept the fact that they were just mercenaries doing their job when they killed Shez's squad or listen to Arval the Agarthan in their head who's been creepily saying 'kill Sothis' the entire game. If you don't kill Jeralt they both join. If you do, Byleth willingly hands control over to Sothis in their despair and they try incredibly hard to murder Shez.

Would've been more fun. Honestly my biggest complaint about the story is how it handles Arval. They are so absent for so much, its a big shame when they could've really played up the betrayal. Hell making Epimenides a weird other entity instead of just having it be Arval with their memory back would've been better. If you had Arval around so you actually developed a relationship with them and then have them go Just According to Keikaku when you recover their memories for them would've been great.

I feel like that summary oversells one particular point: Claude schemes once to deliberately gently caress up and let his imperial allies die; which causes everyone to yell at him and winds up with Fleche hiring Jeralt and Byleth to assassinate him, potentially causing Judith to die in his stead. He spends some time reevaluating and being a lot more up front with the Deer, culminating in them having the opportunity to betray Edelgard and cripple the Empire, which is an option he immediately dismisses because of how badly he got burned abandoning a relative nobody like Randolph previously. You influence him to be more forthcoming and less starkly utilitarian, unfortunately, but it does come with the upside that he manages to talk Dimitri into abandoning Rhea.

E: He does pull off a little more than one scheme per chapter, so he's got that going for him.
