we're not so different, you and i

Summary:

Brief study on the parallels between Rhea and Edelgard, originally posted as a twitter threadfic.

Notes:

i don't like rhea that much as a character but she's incredibly fascinating and i think the parallels between her and edelgard are super interesting

anyway this is pretty insubstantial even compared to my other twitter threadfics but i liked it enough to dig it up and repost it. also please do not try to start discourse at me i will not respond and i will point and laugh

Work Text:

You are still young, too young by far to have seen the things you've seen, to be through the things you have...

Ten siblings, all gone now, and you're the only one left, the last to survive. You're not sure you want to. You cry for your (mother) [father] and there's no answer. You know why.

Your soul cries for (revenge) [justice, a change to the system that allowed this to happen]. You have been injured, inexorably, but you are going to do something about it. This won't happen again.

It still burns on, [the fire in your soul] (a dragon's fire). And until the day that's snuffed out, you will not stop.
