Look, I get it. Gospel pieces go high. But as a Tenor 2 still working on my confidence above the staff, it annoys me when I'm going from a D3 to a G4 with no breath in between.

Elijah Rock was more manageable because there was that bass response measure, but hitting the A5 was rough after the A4. (I think my numbers are wrong btw but that's how I learned octave numbers, sue me.). I ended up doing falsetto for that because I was still in that "anything above an F is going to kill me!" phase. The curse of perfect pitch is real unfortunately.

Now I'm doing Didn't My Lord Deliver Daniel, and the Tenor 2 part reminds me of my Bass 1 roots (that was fun too. I have fomo during Daemon sometimes.) with the D3s. But as stated above, there's that "every man" to "hallelujah" which is that d to g jump that gives you a microsecond to prepare.

I love Gospel. It's the closest I get to Vocal Jazz when it's not Wednesday. As much as I love the chants (O'Magnum) and folk tunes (Magnificent Horses), Gospel clears. I just wish that composers let me skate by without technique training (this is a joke. I love technique training. sometimes.) and not have to lock in during Children Go Where I Send Thee (not Hogan but still) when I have to blend and sing straight Gs.

Skill issue? Yes. Am I still annoyed? Kinda.

Marianne Monday

UnfazedPheasant with 25 upvotes

Marianne's a really interesting character for this in that she's usually really passive and doesn't have much agency, she's so sweet and kind but most of her supports are others coming in to support her rather than vice-versa.

I think listening and supporting Dimitri is really sweet. She and him seem to understand one-another well.

MrBrickBreak with 20 upvotes

Her S support is genuinely one of the most powerful scenes I've ever experienced

Yesterday was Dorothea!

u/courses90 24 upvotes

She goes out of her way to help people during the timeskip, with the big one being looking after children orphaned during the war. In her paired ending with F!Byleth they also adopt a bunch of orphans, though that is only explicit in Japanese, she really cares a lot about children.

She also goes out of her way to be nice to others often, her B Support with Bernadetta is a great example as is her C Support with Petra. Even when she isn't fond of Ferdinand von Aegir she takes him to the infirmary when she sees his injured hand in their B Support. She also offers some of the kindest words of condolences to Byleth after what happens to Jeralt.

u/SidHogan 21 upvotes

u/VengefulStrudel with 13 upvotes

She's the team mama / big sis who looks out after everyone, whether they need it (Bernie), don't need it (checking in on Petra), or she hates them at first (helping Ferdie with his burnt hand). She's also the first to call out nobles on their BS and help take care of the downtrodden, like orphan kids.

FearlessInformation5 with 43 upvotes

Dark Spikes on Death Knight

taychoo with 26 upvotes

Her whole reasoning for being so exceptionally hard-working is that she knows she has little time left, but she wants to be able to give her parents the chance to live out the rest of their lives in peace, after everything they've been through.

Individual_Exit_6171 with 18 upvotes

In my opinion, the best thing Lysithea has done is to help impart her knowledge to others, from teaching Cyril to read, to helping Annette better control her spells, and even in Hanneman's ending, once he dies, she takes up the mantle and helps others with her knowledge now as a scholar

Old_Marionberry3791 15 upvotes

Having an S support with the most scary men in Fodlan. She single handedly made Jeritza look moe.

But a serious answer, she's actually getting her shit together during the timeskip. She's voluntarily out of her room, picked up a hairbrush, and got to work for what she believed in.

TzilacatzinJoestar 14 upvotes

Individually, gone past the abuse she's endured and slowly recovering from it.

She also put flowers on Jeralt's grave, which is impressive considering that this is during the Academy Arc where her paranoia was at its worst, meaning she made the conscious decision to pick flowers (most likely appropriate for funerals given her interest in botany) went all the way to Jeralt's grave (which if I recall was pretty far from her quarters) and put flowers in it. Not only does it show how far she's come from the start of the game, but we can also see the impact that Byleth and her time at the Academy had on her.

Raphael and Annette back to back, damn we’re going through all the rays of sunshine.

Aside from being one of the brightest and most endearing characters, Annette also takes on the burden of her family responsibilities after her cousin ran off to become a musician. Credit to her for putting the people of Dominic before herself.

u/jord839 with 8 upvotes

This gets into shipping territory, but the only way for Felix to have a happy-ish ending in every route is if Annette anchors him, including in CF where he otherwise goes off to die in battle and shame most of the time.

Annette's a great character and I'm not intending to reduce her to a romantic interest, but as a personal good, I think that's pretty up there, as it's something basically only she achieved.

She can and did fix him and boy is he broken in some timelines.

Chineselegolas with 24 upvotes

Such a caring forgiving huge guy whose heart is bigger than his huge muscles.

Doesn't hold Ignatz or Lorenze at fault for their parents actions resulting in his parents death, all he wants is the MEAT PARTY!

So caring and helpful with the timid characters, always looking out for them (and his sister).

He's not a historically significant impact character, but a guy who makes individual lives better

jord839 with 20 upvotes

Be the best friend and support pillar in the Deer, in many ways.

Refuse to let Ignatz or Lorenz shoulder the burden of their families' roles in his family's death and specifically refusing to demand revenge or recompense because it won't help anything. By all measures, we would all understand any other character being bitter about his best friend's family's role in his parent's death, which is more personal than some of the excuses that people like Ingrid have for their hatreds, but Raphael refuses. There is no cycle of revenge with Raph, because it won't help him or anyone.

In Hopes when Ignatz tries to make him a knight, despite Ignatz hating being a knight, Raphael is honest and supportive in telling Iggy that he's not going to do something just to assuage guilt, and also gets Ignatz to admit that he's unhappy with his current position and that he should do something about that.

With Bernadetta, Marianne, Lysithea, and all the other characters with issues of self-doubt and confidence, Raphael is the most supportive character in trying to get them to trust in others and themselves.

Also, I will be endlessly entertained that Raphael is canonically the only person to almost figure out Claude's Almyran nature, only to get distracted by food.

-----------------------------------------

Sylvain is one of the characters of all time

u/Lucitrie with 47 upvotes

Sylvain makes himself out to be a clown for many reasons, not all of them good, but I think one of them is to be a rock for his friends to lean on when things are tumultuous. Ingrid says she was brought from her grief for Glenn out of a need to scold and clean up after Sylvain, something habitual and normal she would never admit she kind of likes. And Felix and Dimitri, as serious as they both are, are forced to contend with such mundane things alongside Sylvain, and have more lighthearted experiences more appropriate for their ages; something other than fighting and killing, even if it is relationship drama. He’s also pleasantly humble and self-sacrificing when it comes down to it. He’ll put himself down and say he’s stupid to make Annette feel better that he solved a textbook problem she was struggling with. He’ll put himself in harms way countless times to protect people he loves, in multiple supports. Although that lack of respect for himself is also the root of his biggest issues, the best parts of Sylvain are the very admirable ones you can see glistening underneath the rough outer layer.

u/bluegarlandmoon with 34 upvotes

Be a good bro to Dedue. I like how Sylvain assured him that though many people in Faerghus blame Duscur for the tragedy, there are also those that don’t share this sentiment.

u/clingingtopromises with 13 upvotes

Sylvain also has a similar worldview to Edelgard, being a “victim” of the Crest system himself. However, he managed to enact change in many paired endings using less severe ways. By letting his elder, Crest-less child inherit the title of Margrave Gautier, he protects his children from living through a Miklan situation like he did.

ngl Ignatz being boring meant he got a lot less comments

u/RisingSunfish with 17 upvotes

Human life is more important than inanimate objects, but there is a unique tragedy in the loss of otherwise timeless art and architecture, especially in the ravages of war. By documenting his surroundings and keeping a close eye on the little things others might overlook, Ignatz is playing a vital role in the overall historical landscape. Given FE’s frequent framing as a retelling of historical events, he may even be a point-of-view character of sorts.

Also I’m realizing literally as I’m typing this that his surname is almost certainly a reference to Victor Hugo, who wrote The Hunchback of Notre Dame primarily as a means of advocating for the preservation of the then-neglected Notre Dame Cathedral. So that’s neat!

I really like his monastery dialogue at the end of silver snow it seems important for the route: 

Ignatz: After all that's happened to Lady Rhea, all of the stuff with  Solon and the others, and everything that's happened with you, Professor... There's still a lot I don't understand. Please teach me, Professor—everything you know, everything you've learned.

Byleth: Choice 1: OK.  (Relationship with Ignatz up) Ignatz: Thank you, oh thank you! Choice 2: If I get the chance...

Ignatz: If it's at all possible, I hope you'll speak about it not just to me, but to everyone else as well. I think everyone should know what happened here. If we're going to build a new, united Fódlan...that's absolutely crucial.

u/TriadHero117 with 7 upvotes

Trying to give the most serious answer I can here- I think it would have to be his paralogue, where he confronts Death Knight.

Sure, his actions there are at least partially glory-seeking, but at the end of the day he puts himself in incredible danger on behalf of someone he doesn’t personally know, and lets Mercedes seek closure even at the cost of his own glory. He even goes so far as to chastise Emile for how he behaves towards Mercedes.

Caspar is, as the Death Knight puts it, a: “Heh. Simpleton…” whose motivations don’t tend to run deeper that punching who he believes deserves punching, but this paralogue proves in my mind that he isn’t just using justice as an excuse to get into scraps. He really does want to do what’s right.

u/Lucitrie with 81 upvotes

Felix encouraging Ashe in their B support about becoming a knight is one of the sweetest moments in all of gaming lowkey. He can put his biases aside when he sees someone with a truly good heart who really does need kindness. But controversially, I think the more impactful good thing Felix does is keep a clear head even as he stays loyal to a crazy Dimitri. He has an awful way of expressing it, and so it likely doesn’t help very much, but he understands how Dimitri is acting and leading is wrong, and doesn’t compromise even though he’s king, and isn’t afraid to tell that to Dimitri’s face, where it feels like a lot of the other characters are scared or too stubborn to do the same.

u/TsunEnough with 77 upvotes

The great thing about the character writing in 3H is how it subverts expectation, and Felix (also Sylvain and Dimitri) is a perfect example of this.

At the beginning Felix comes off as a prick, solely interested in his own goals and telling everyone else to fuck off. But once you get deep down, you begin to see that he's just a scared kid. He saw his best friend descend into sadistic madness, saw his family torn apart and his country fall into turmoil. And the thing is, beneath the scared kid, he is still insanely loyal to Dimitri. He just doesn't want to be bound to loyalty for the sake of tradition or custom; he wants to choose his own path.

And even in spite of everything, in spite of his fear, he remains loyal. He doesn't just stick by Dimitri's side silently, he stays with him and calls him on his bullshit.

The greatest thing Felix does is stick by the man who actually terrifies him because he knows that there is still hope for him to change. Does he suck at communicating that? Yes. Is he pretty immature about it? Yes. But if Byleth is the carrot leading Dimitri into the light in Azure Moon, Felix is the stick behind him going "hey, get over yourself, we need you here" and that is infinitely harder to do.

u/leovaldezdefender with 41 upvotes

Answer: Despite all his hatred for the Boar and his despair that his beloved childhood friend had been replaced by a beast, Felix never really stopped caring about Dimitri. Even if he denied it. In AM, his canon route, he stays loyal and doesn't truly give up on him—even when Dimitri is a thousand times worse than anything Felix ever said about him. I can't imagine the strength it must take to see someone you loved transform into That and still be able to give them a chance. Other than that I also think his kindness is best on display in his supports with more timid or childish characters like Bernie, Lysithea, Annette, and Ashe. He may get annoyed by them but he never treats them too harshly, which is cute considering he's an asshole in all other regard.

REAL Answer: He made Sylvain fall in love with him, saving the women of Fódlan. Thank you Felix

u/OrzhovMarkhov with 38 upvotes

This is really tough, and is going to be for a lot of the cast going forward I think, because most of their actions aren't really relevant on a continental scale. Being nice to people isn't a good thing, not really

Unfortunately it's the best thing Hilda does. So my vote goes to being ride or die for Claude - emphasis on the die. She's with him even when he has no hope whatsoever, when the rest of the Roundtable abandons him. Even against his own orders, she'll die to protect him. People who say Hilda doesn't count as Claude's retainer are just frankly incorrect. She's as loyal as Hubert, Dedue or Catherine, even if she isn't as forthright with it.

Agreeing with u/KuriosesBlau that it's revealing the location of Shambhala to his enemies. He also recommends bringing Rhea and openly reveals where she's imprisoned, which while we know didn't affect decisions too much, could have ended up saving everyone's lives. Any doubt that his core motivation, with all else stripped away, is the betterment of Fódlan is dispelled by the fact that his final thought when his back is against the wall isn't petty revenge or even some desperate gambit to survive; it's to make sure that his and Edelgard's failure will have as few consequences for the victors as possible.

In general: Establishing the base for further positive relationship between Fodlan and Almyra.

u/ChessGM123 with 93 Upvotes

Leave Fodlan. This might sound like a jab at Claude but I honestly think the fact that in every ending he leaves Fodlan and goes back to Alymra (unless he dies on CF) is one of his greatest character traits and sets him apart from the other lords. One of the flaws of both Edelgard and Dimitri is that they view themselves as the saviors of Fodlan, neither of them would back down to allow someone else to save Fodlan because in their minds no one else really can do the job. Claude meanwhile realizes that he doesn’t have to be the person to save Fodlan, and he’s willing to step down and go back to Alymra where’s he’s needed to enact the change he wants. Despite Claude being depicted as a schemer who often keeps secrets from others he’s arguably the most trusting of the 3 lords, iirc the developers said that Claude is the only lord that expect Byleth to show up 5 years after they disappeared, in AM he trusts Dimitri enough to rely on him for Derdrui’s defense and also trusts him with the future of the Alliance as well as failnaught, and in CF Claude trusts Edelgard that even if he loses she’ll still treat the city and the alliance fairly. Claude is the only lord (other than Byleth) who can survive all 4 routes because he understands when he’s needed and when it’s time to stop fighting.

u/chabaz with 66 Upvotes

Honestly, it’s completely upending Fódlan’s stagnant status quo by absolutely shattering the Crest system and the corrupt nobility built around it. Love her or hate her, Edelgard is the only one who forces the continent out of a church-enforced feudalism that had spent centuries trapping people in a cycle of human experimentation, systemic exploitation, and forced political marriages.

She replaces a genetic lottery with an actual meritocracy where your worth is based on your own talents and character. Obviously, her methods spark a brutal continental war, but her ultimate vision is what finally frees future generations from the tyranny of the goddess's legacy, paving the way for real social mobility and a human-centric era where people actually control their own destinies.

Tomorrow is Dedue, followed by Hubert, who will be followed with Hilda.

Today's character is everyone's favorite non controversial lord, Edelgard!

Welcome to day 2 of the series where we try to see the best actions that each major character has done in Fire Emblem Three Houses! (I'll count Hopes too.)

As always, comment your answer, and the top 3 upvoted comments will be featured on the next day's post.

So, what is the best thing that Edelgard did?

He’s the only lord who actually tries to comfort you after Jeralt’s death and help you through it. Claude’s the worst after Jeralt’s death, basically going “well that sucks, now let me read his private diary or you’re never leaving this dialogue”, Edelgard while she probably means well but she basically pushes us to just move past it and lead them into battle which is not a healthy way to deal with grief, Dimitri is the only one who actually sympathies with Byleth and helps them grieve. It’s probably because while Edelgard and Claude are still Byleth’s friend they both have ulterior schemes brewing whereas Dimitri is just trying to be a good guy.

I'm going to agree with others on the Duscur situation being Dimitri's single best thing.

Given how his darker side could tunnel vision on things, and Dedue even mentions that some Duscur people were involved (and used as patsies obviously), a lot of lesser characters with Dimitri's traits would have channeled hate towards Duscur at least at first. Its easy to imagine Ingrid's prejudice being transposed onto a character similar to Dimitri, but he never takes that bait laid out for him, constantly defends Dedue from all potential enemies, and when in power does everything he can to make amends and rebuild Duscur.

Works to atone for all he did in AM, not riding the racism hate train to Duscur.

After feedback from the 3rd most upvoted user, I decided that I'd change the order of 41-50. Partly because a few characters were minor filler, and I needed to take out the villains.

41. Jeralt

42. Rodrigue

43. Shez

44. Arval

45. Aelfric

46. Judith

47. Nader

48. Gatekeeper

49. Sothis

50. Rhea

The order of everyone else WILL stay the same.
