Trending: Fodlan's New Internet Sensation

Summary:

Instead of having a war, Fodlan welcomes its newest internet celebrity.
In which introducing Twitter makes everything a little better, and a lot worse.

Notes:

What's this?? Did I just write a non-bnha fic???
Well I'm kind of out of the fandom for now, and 3H is super trendy right now, so here I am.

A couple notes:
- Don't turn off the custom skin. It'll basically make the fic unreadable.
- At the top of each chapter, there will be a person's profile shown. That means the entire chapter is shown from their POV (basically their twitter feed and DMs)
- Pretend that this is a world where Fodlan hasn't entered a war and everyone graduated peacefully and Rhea decided to invent the internet in order to troll Seteth
- That said, there will be some spoilers later on, particularly about some Blue Lions post timeskip plots, so tread carefully! There will be a pretty obvious divide, though.
- This fic was super inspired by this account's tweets are protected
- Basically everyone has two accounts, one main and one private. The exceptions (so far) are: Felix, Hubert, Dimitri, Claude "My secrets have secrets" Riegan

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

hey there, your princeliness!! it’s claude, welcome to the future

Claude? How are you here? I was told that I should “tweet” about any problems that I have and then I’ll have the answers that I seek.

yeah that’s right. sometimes it doesn’t work though so you gotta try again

I… I see. That doesn’t sound very reliable.

don’t worry about it

hey so wanna follow my private? can’t talk too much on main or else my retainer’s gonna have my head

My apologies. I don’t really understand anything you just said.

And… your retainer is willing to kill you?

figure of speech, young prince. though he prob is

anyway just follow my instructions and you’ll be good to go. ill send you hilda and lorenz’s stuff too

This is all quite confusing. I had just wanted a question answered.

don’t worry im sure someone will answer it soon

Felix Hugo Fraldarius

@dimitrialexandreblaiddyd

@failnaught Huh, you were right. I did get a response.

Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd
@dimitrialexandreblaiddyd

@failnaught And it even sounds like Felix. How remarkable.

his royal dukedom

@dimitrialexandreblaiddyd be prepared to see the wonders of twitter

Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd

@failnaught I can’t speak of the helpfulness of the answer, though.

@felix don’t remind me i had to bribe her with a whole pot of stew just to get to this point

Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd
@dimitrialexandreblaiddyd

@freikugal Thank you. You are Miss Goneril, correct? I admit I’m still quite confused with all this terminology, but this seems quite fun.

Felix Hugo Fraldarius
@felix

@mistercasanova How could you possibly think this is a good idea

all women are queens ♕
@mistercasanova

@felix his first ever tweet was about you don’t you feel the least bit grateful

Felix Hugo Fraldarius

@mistercasanova Shut up

Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd

@dimitrialexandreblaiddyd Thank you for the follow, your highness. It is an honor.

little lorey
@onesucciboi

@dimitrialexandreblaiddyd As a word of advice, please be mindful of what you type. You never know who could be reading.

FEAR THE DEER
@schemerbeaver

lorenz i swear if you type another word

little lorey
@onesucciboi

@schemerbeaver I know. I learned my lesson from the last time I tried to interrupt one of your schemes.

Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd
@dimitrialexandreblaiddyd

@onesucciboi Pardon me, but who are you?

little lorey
@onesucciboi


Claude Apologist
@freikugal

oh boy i can almost see lorenz’s vein pulsing

Claude Apologist
@freikugal

particularly that angry one on his head that we named bobo

little lorey
@onesucciboi

@dimitrialexandreblaiddyd Please excuse the username and icon. This was all Claude’s idea of a joke, and I’m sure you know that he’s not as funny as he thinks he is. It is I, Lorenz.

FEAR THE DEER
@schemerbeaver

screw you im hilarious

Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd
@dimitrialexandreblaiddyd

@onesucciboi I see. But you must be careful. This constitutes as identity misrepresentation and could get you in a lot of trouble.

Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd
@dimitrialexandreblaiddyd

@onesucciboi I admit that I’m not as familiar with Leicester laws as I should be, but surely a nobleman such as yourself must know of the consequences? You could be imprisoned for identity theft.

all women are queens ♕
@mistercasanova

lol i cant screenshot fast enough

FEAR THE DEER
@schemerbeaver

it’s true. as a certified leader of the Leicester alliance i can assure you that little lorey will definitely be arrested for identity theft in a few days

little lorey
@onesucciboi

@dimitrialexandreblaiddyd …thank you. I will keep your advice in mind.

Claude Apologist
@freikugal

yep bobo is def ticking away

Edelgard
@aymr

@dimitrialexandreblaiddyd …Dimitri, hello. I was not aware that you had a twitter.

Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd
@dimitrialexandreblaiddyd

@onesucciboi Good. I’m always glad to help a trusted ally.

Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd
@dimitrialexandreblaiddyd

@aymr Edelgard? You’re here too?

Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd
@dimitrialexandreblaiddyd

@aymr Greetings. Sylvain told me to make an account a couple hours ago.

Edelgard
@aymr

@dimitrialexandreblaiddyd I see. You should have your account verified. That is, if you are truly the prince.

Edelgard
@aymr

@dimitrialexandreblaiddyd And if you aren’t, surely I do not need to inform you of the capital punishment of impersonating a royal figure, do I?

FEAR THE DEER
@schemerbeaver

they said the exact same thing omg they could be siblings

little lorey
@onesucciboi

@schemerbeaver I daresay you’re enjoying this a little too much, Claude.

FEAR THE DEER
@schemerbeaver

the only entertainment i have nowadays is you, lorenz. give me a break

Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd
@dimitrialexandreblaiddyd

@aymr Thank you for your advice, Edelgard. I’m not quite sure what verified means, but I’ll make sure to learn all the new terminology before the next time we speak again.

Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd
@dimitrialexandreblaiddyd

@aymr But fortunately I am myself. There appears to be an imposter of Felix around, but that is understandable.

Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd
@dimitrialexandreblaiddyd

@aymr Felix is amazing. I would want to impersonate him as well.

all women are queens ♕
@mistercasanova

lmao that was fast

@dimitrialexandreblaiddyd lol forget my retainer, you sure yours won’t murder you first?

@failnaught Felix won’t kill me.

Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd
@dimitrialexandreblaiddyd

@failnaught I think.

Claude Apologist
@freikugal

oops i forgot he followed me

Claude Apologist
@freikugal

@dimitrialexandreblaiddyd don’t worry about it!! i was just showing claude what a sweetie you are

@mistercasanova ooo was there another one??

FEAR THE DEER
@schemerbeaver

@freikugal i can neither confirm nor deny that statement :^)

@dimitrialexandreblaiddyd

@mistercasanova You know as well as I do that I can’t convince Felix to do anything.

Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd
@dimitrialexandreblaiddyd

@mistercasanova Perhaps he simply mistook you for the predator that you are and is coming to deliver some retribution?

@dimitrialexandreblaiddyd Your Highness, as much as I appreciated your last statement, perhaps you should consider refraining from saying such things in public.

Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd
@dimitrialexandreblaiddyd

@onesucciboi I’m not in public. I’m alone in my room right now.

FEAR THE DEER
