New au idea: Opposites Detract

I came up with this a couple years ago but I still kinda like it so here’s what it was

- Lila gets the miraculous of the ladybug instead of Marinette after her fake persona goes too far. She either doesn’t know about the miraculous at this point, or does know, but still doesn’t have all the pieces in the puzzle.

- she will get a redemption arc in this, it’s mostly the proximity of being ladybug and having people around her to make her better.

- here’s what I like most about this au though, everyone HATES ladybug in this. Like, HATES WITH A PASSION. Because she messes up at first when fighting the stone guy and makes everything so much worse, simply because she doesn’t care about the repercussions. She doesn’t do the miraculous ladybug and the damage is permanent. This causes an avalanche of hate to come upon her and chat noir (even though he didn’t really do much.) So from now on the public shits on ladybug like Spider-man. It makes it a lot harder to their job and also causes her to face what she’s done head-on.

-I remember both her and Adrien meeting Master fu very early on, mostly because he realizes his grave mistake giving her the ladybug miraculous. Adrien does not like Lila at all.

- same time she actually runs into Marinette and she’s the first person who’s kind to her after all this. A la umbrella scene. Both Lila and Adrien gain a crush on her. They fight each other like siblings it’s really funny.

- Lila’s first real friend (other than marinette) is Chloe. She feels like she doesn’t have to wear a mask around her. She kinda feeds into her horrible energy tho until she gets redeemed.

- I thought about how interesting it could be if some of the worst people got redeemed in this and everything kinda happens backwards.In fact, I think Adrien gets worse 😂 but he does learn how to stand up for himself.

All in all, it’s a pretty out of character au, but it’s a fun character study. Like, imagining all the possibilities people could change. I think Lila at first would also want to abuse her ladybug power but again, being ladybug makes her want to do better and gain redemption. She’s still a psychopath and a compulsive liar but she learns to live in society and enjoy her life without hatred fueling her every decision.

Idk something to think about. Also her name is Coccinella

[hamsteriffic]

Here is a snippet from the first chapter ‘First comes Misunderstandings…’

It all started with a simple misunderstanding.

Like most things in Marinette’s life, the misunderstanding snowballed, becoming bigger and bigger until it was an avalanche and she’s cold and it’s white everywhere and she’s miserable and she doesn’t know how to get out of it.

Fun times, basically.

Sort of that feeling you get when you accidentally find yourself standing in a white ballroom catching her not-boyfriend in the middle of a romantic dance with his ex kind of miserable. Maybe boyfriend was too strong a word. They had only just confessed to each other their feelings and they hadn’t even kissed.

The Diamond Ball was only the first in a long line of deceit. When Marinette used Zoe’s invitation to enter the Diamond Ball, the first thing she heard was Chloe Bourgeois’ loud obnoxious voice from across the room. Marinette turned the other way, heading directly to the podium where Adrien and Kagami were sitting. She just wanted to tell him it was okay, that she understood his obligations as an Agreste… that she didn’t even want to go to the ball anyway.

But her courage soon faded away as Adrien smiled at his ex-girlfriend. The way he looked at her - with so much emotion that she thought was only reserved for her. She tried to convince herself that it was only that Adrien was doing a convincing job of being in love - he was a model after all, he could fake a smile like the best of them.

Half truths and pretty white lies.

A/N Canon divergence:

Marinette never confronted ‘Adrien’ at the Diamond Ball, so Argos never happened. The events follow roughly the same events leading up to the London Special and post season 5.

100 Great Albums from 2024.

OK…

I listened to a lot of music this year, and I am not going to prattle on about it all this time because there's too much. These are the albums that came out this year that I really liked. They aren't in a specific order, but they are in a general order (closer to the top just means I listened to it more often, or responded enthusiastically/felt really strongly about it). I have been doing a lot of radio this year, and so I've listened to so much music. It's not trying to be a definitive top 100 list, I am sure I missed some gems, but these are things I personally liked. Then there are some special mentions at the end that include some reissues that include some reworked/additional material, and some compilations/live albums as well. Genres are all over the place, from heavy to light to weird to weirder. Check things out and enjoy the adventure.

My thoughts on double exposure

NOTE: please if you have any comments to me PLEASE reblog this with a response so I can reply back, I won’t tag it or anything. Tumblr took away my ability to text or comment

-we don’t know shit so far

-y’all educate yourselves on how they make these games cause the writers are not in charge of the marketing department, so stop insulting them- we have no idea what they have in store and they probably want to quell the anxiety around Chloe but they can’t cause they were made to sign NDAs

-edit: lemme run you through the creative process in the gaming industry: have an idea, create a draft and then have that draft scrutinized by executives, producers, marketing people- then after they alter the shit out of your idea depending on the budget and development cycle they allow, you get to actually work on it. It’s not fucking easy

-the lady who is behind the only good parts of BtS (Chloe’s parts) is in charge of the narrative direction

-i won’t be that heartbroken if Chloe isn’t around cause the character IMO ran her course, the franchise treated her well- she got her own game, major plot lines in the comics, cameo/mentions in every game following lis1, featured heavily in merch AND an avalanche of fan work

-Nah like y’all have it good meanwhile my faves last in game appearance was her getting potentially roofied over Shakespeare

-my biggest problem with D9 writing is that it‘s predictable or trying to catch up with dotnod’s writing, always felt like they misunderstood what made the first game so special- I have my concerns with DE over that rn, not ever life is strange game needs a flashy twist

-i just don’t want them to disrespect the og side characters again lmao

-Vic better get a mention or something

-i think the breakup angle is interesting cause

The 2nd Stage of Grief- Claw Noir on the Prowl

There were several benefits to transforming;

Enhanced speed and strength- it was no exaggeration to say that Adrien Agreste was already exceptionally athletic, but thanks to this ring, leaping from rooftop to rooftop could hardly even be considered a warmup exercise.

Night vision was awesome.

Paris was so dark after curfew; all businesses shut down, save for Hôpital Européen Georges-Pompidou, a few windows in residential homes, and street lights which stayed on only to light the patrol routes of Enforcers.

      But with the powers of the Miraculous, every shadow was brilliantly illuminated in his eyes- The City as clear and vivid as if it were broad daylight, for him and him alone.

A heightened sense of hearing was more useful than he’d thought.

       The cat ears had looked pawsitively ridiculous the first time he’d said the transformation phrase. 

         But now, not only could he hear both higher and lower pitched sounds that he never could before, he could hear an Enforcer from nearly a kilometer away! 

There was no chance of taking a single misstep, no distance his legs and stick could not carry him, no wall his claws could not climb, no one who could sneak up and catch him by surprise!

His new, keen sense of smell?

 …. That sucked.

            Immensely.

Between the chemical burn like stinging in his nose from the persistent smog, and the gag-inducing sewage smell wafting over from the Seine, going for a nighttime run to get some air had NOT been one of his best ideas.

Still, he couldn’t stand the clawstraphobic feeling of being cooped up in his room, not after today…

    Adrian still didn’t understand why his father insisted he go to school. 

       Things had been hard enough after Mother… Things had been hard. 

          Was it so wrong to want things to stay the same?  Why did his whole life have to be up-ended and re-arranged??  He was doing FINE with his home studies and private tutors. 

      He didn’t need to meet new people. 

          He already socialized plenty;  He had his language instructors, his fencing teacher, his photographers and make-up crew, his runway coach, and shoot coordinator.  

        What benefit was there to going to school that he couldn’t get at home??? Mother would’ve never-!

                  …She would’ve understood.

But Adrian didn’t get a say in this, despite it being HIS life, and HIS education.

          His father had developed an annoyingly persistent habit of personally making sure Adrien didn’t “hit the snooze on his alarm clock”, and eating breakfast with him to ensure he made it out the front door on time.

                His Père was so paranoid, he even sat with him in the car ride to school every morning.   The excuse was that it was to spend time together.

       Adrien knew it was to make sure he didn’t try to make a run for it again.

So for weeks now, he’d had to endure crowded classrooms, noisy halls, going over material he already knew by heart, nearly dying of boredom, and Chloe not understanding the concept of ‘personal space.’

But today had been particularly suffocating.

La Saint-Valentin.

Some called it “La Fête des Amoureux”.

Adrien called it “l' insanité”.

People stared at him for longer than usual, giggling, whispering, sighing, trying to discreetly snap a pic on their phones.

       The security of the school was terrible, considering the avalanche of cards, love letters, and chocolate that nearly buried him alive- how did so many people know how to break into a locker?! 

       (He was reluctant to leave his phone in his locker for fencing practice; what if somebody stole it?)

Chloe was even more irritating than usual; clinging to his arm way too tightly and barking at people like some kind of spoiled purse dog- telling them to keep their eyes off while parading him around like he was somehow her prized possession. 

        (At least her snarling face kept people from trying to hand him gifts directly.)

Lunch was a nightmare; Chloe had somehow managed to get the Le Grande Hotel to deliver Magret à la D'Artagnan on heart shaped plates.  He was only able to avoid being hand-fed rose petal Tuiles by claiming he had a VERY important photo shoot coming up and was on a strict diet!

For once, his excuse to leave for the boy’s room wasn’t a lie; he needed to throw-up.

He ended up spending all of lunch hiding in the washroom.  The last thing he needed was someone snapping pics to post online that he and Chloe were “together”, which was no doubt that crazy girl’s scheme.

      (If her mother wasn’t The Queen of Style, Adrien would’ve asked for a restraining order already.)

Was there any sound on this earth more beautiful than the bell signaling the end of the school day?

Doubtful.

But even the car ride home was uncomfortable; all the shop windows with plastic roses and heart decorations.

      Even that Boulangerie and Patisserie where that cute, pigtailed, umbrella thief worked at had a display of red and pink macarons, chocolate covered feuille de palmiers, and heart shaped candied apples. 

      His stomach was too sour to wonder if anyone had given her a Valentine, and he wasn’t in the mood to search through the pile waiting for him at home to see if she had found the courage to send one to him.

He knew what might cheer him up though; some wanton destruction!

A few simple words and he was no longer Adrien Agreste, he was… 

                  …Okay, he was still working on a cool name for his alter ego, (not that he had anyone to tell it to), but the point was, he was wild and fur-ee!

So what if the whole city stank?

Like this, he could go wherever he wanted, do whatever he wanted!

      So long as he didn’t get caught.

He hadn’t been able to figure out why The Supreme had entrusted him with this power, especially since he wanted to keep it a secret.

But Adrien figured he’d been doing an okay job so far… Probably?

      He was sure no one saw him testing out whether his claws could scratch through brick on chimney stacks. (They could.)

           Yeah, people would obviously notice a dumpster or three had gone missing, but it’s not like they would blame magic powers for their disappearance, or look at the piles of black ash that had taken their place and be able to put two and two together.

          There was definitely no way to prove that he was the one who smashed the rear window of that Enforcer’s patrol car with his retractable stick from the rooftop across the street.

               No one in their right mind would suspect that the yowling keeping them up at night and making them call the Enforcers to complain was actually him and not a real stray cat giving a nightly serenade. (He only did that once.)

All in all, he’d done a purrty good job following the rules The Supreme had sent.

He was as elusive as a shadow in the night; it was impossible to catch him in the act!

But somehow… It still wasn’t enough.

He still felt restless, even his leather tail thrashed in agitation (still no clue on how it did that) and his claws itched for something, anything to tear into. Maybe that would soothe the building heat in his chest that had his teeth grinding.

After spending the whole day being smothered and watching everyone make les yeux doux and being stupidly happy he felt sickened.

No, that wasn’t right. It was more than that.

       It felt tighter than that. 

             Sure, he had been annoyed, but this felt tenser somehow, like a rubber band stretched too far.

He couldn’t put into words exactly what he was feeling, or what caused it.

    Maybe he was tired of everybody encroaching on his personal space.

   Maybe it was being bombarded with cards and letter filled with the same, shallow words of affection and admiration from strangers who didn’t know him outside a perfume ad.

  Maybe it was coming home and noticing there were no expensive bouquets of real roses waiting now that his father had no one to buy them for….

Mère had always loved roses, and father spared no expense to make sure she always had the real thing every Valentine’s Day- soft petals and a sweet fragrance that could not be compared to the plastic, perfumed replicas that were sold by street vendors.  

     Rich, vibrant green stems, as green as her gentle eyes…

That was it.

This whole stupid holiday, that was nothing more than a byproduct of mass consumerism, was just another bitter reminder of how his life had changed for the worse.

It was also something not even his powers could destroy….

But he knew where he could find the next best thing.

The 4th arrondissement of Paris; Cathédrale Notre-Dame.

The building was practically ruins, what with the wooden roof being mostly gone since the fire a few years back.

      For a while, it had still served as a popular tourist destination, at least until the wind, rain, and snow had begun to compromise structural integrity.

      Only a few of the inner rooms were still deemed safe to enter, as such, it was only a matter of time until this whole site was condemned.

Breaking in was too easy. 

Descending down to all fours kicked up clouds of dust, further proof he was the first visitor in a while.

      It had been a while. But he knew exactly what he was looking for as he left the alter and purrused  the connecting halls that were still standing.

      Several statues and paintings had been saved from the flames and transported to the Louvre for safe-keeping, but many more had been left behind, too damaged to be worth salvaging.

    This was the case for the painting he sought; the frame was crumbling, and the smoke and soot had distorted its colors and curled the edges- so fragile, certainly a mere breath would cause it to crumble.

      A red-robed priest performing a baptism on a kneeling couple…. Saint Valentine.

Spearing his weapon into the painted figure was all it took for the ancient painting to deteriorate to nothing.

That was… 

Unsatisfying.

No, he felt even more restless than before. This still wasn’t enough.

Wiping away wetness from his neon purple eyes that was caused from all the dust in the air and definitely NOT anything else, he looked around the decrepit cathedral.

It wasn’t in use anymore for sermons, but that didn’t stop its followers. Forever eager to reclaim their former glory and make a quick euro off the pain and suffering of others…

Approaching a row of broken pews, he remembers the members of congregation that had tried to “comfort” him, mere moments after his mother took her final breath.

    “She’s in a better place now.”

Cataclysm.

A splintered pew was now nothing more than a pile of ash.

      “It’s all part of a grand plan.”

Cataclysm.

A tall, weather-rusted candelabra succumbs to oblivion.

       “She’s finally returned to grace.”

Cataclysm.

          “She’ll always be watching over you.”

Cataclysm.

 “You should tell your father that she’ll be able to rest easier if you let us handle the des rites funéraires, we’ll even give a special price-“

CATACLYSM!

The stone column gave way and vanished…Leaving nothing to support what was left of the roof, the weight of its collapse bringing down pillar after pillar, crushing the altar, what was left of the organ pipe, and sending debris to smash out of the stained glass window.

For a moment, as the dust settled, there was silence.

Rubble shifted, and with a cough, Adrien dug himself out of the mess he had created. Thanks to the magic of his suit, there wasn’t a scratch on him.

Surveying the damage wrought by his hissy-fit, he felt the tension in his chest dissipate.

This… 

…Was satisfying!

This was exactly the level of destruction he’d been craving!

He couldn’t help his pleased smirk, but it was short lived- a black ear twitched at the sound of distant sirens. 

     Enforcers were coming. It was time for this cat to scat.

He wasn’t worried, he was faster than them, by the time they got there he would be long gone. 

     He made a dramatic show of dusting himself off for absolutely no one before using his stick to lift himself up and leap out of the wreckage to observe the Enforcers’ reactions from a safe distance.

This dump had been falling down on its own anyway, all he did was speed up the process. 

There was no reason for anyone to suspect anything other than the inevitable decay of a rotten building long past its prime.

The Supreme should have no issues with that.

Adrien was feline a lot better after that little workout and was ready to call it a night.

Slinking through the tall windows of his bedroom with ease, he called off his transformation-

       Only to wince in pain.

This was new.

De-transforming had never hurt before.

He was certain he didn’t injure himself, could he even be injured in the suit?

The pain was centered in his stomach… Was it because he skipped dinner?

He put a hand on his abdomen and cringed at how tender it felt.

He ignored the floating black kwami that followed after him into the bathroom- there was no point in acknowledging the creature; all it did was glare at him (and try to knock things off shelves before Adrien gave him the order to stop).

It probably wanted to be fed, or, whatever you called shoving a piece of food into that red symbol over its mouth- it was annoying but it had to be done at least once on days he transformed, according to the instructions on the tablet he’d received.

Adrien still had that untouched bag of gougères the Gorilla had purchased that day at at bakery. He’d give the kwami one of those, right after he figured out what was wrong with his own stomach.

Facing the mirror, Adrien lifted his shirt and stifled a gasp;

     In the center of his torso, just above his belly button, no bigger than a €1 coin, was what looked like a small black bruise that was beginning to spider outwards.

      He was too bewildered to notice the kwami’s reflection in the mirror.

…If he had, he would’ve seen that for the first time, Plagg was looking at him with pity.

Obbligato of Soot-Coated Bravery Chapter 9

Lennox gasped and quickly distanced himself from the monster.

Yet, the poisonous mucus quickly covered Lennox's body with the speed of an avalanche.

Lennox: Gah!

Rutile: Mister Leno...!

Smoke was billowing out of Lennox's arms as he instinctively shielded his face.

His clothes had melted, revealing red, rotten skin, and I instinctively covered my mouth.

Arthur: The monster opened its mouth again! 《Pernoctant…》

Arthur: (No, this is Lennox's fight)

Arthur: (Just like Rutile… He has his choice)

Arthur: Lennox! Next one is coming...!

Responding to Arthur's voice, Lennox changed the stance of his mace.

And with a force that cuts through the air he strikes the jaw from below.

With a gulp, purple mucus spurted from its upturned mouth.

Smoke rose from the monster's face along with a scream.

Writhing and thrashing, the monster scattered mucus from its entire body.

Lennox: …..….

For a moment, Lennox's foot stomped on a stone.

In the midst of the strange smell coming from the mucus, I resist the urge to run up to him as he continues to fight.

Because those eyes still burn.

They continue to gaze at the light that awaits in the future.

The monster, roaring with rage, rushes towards Lennox.

Moving like he expected this, Lennox swung his mace.

The sharp tip aimed at the monster's chest.

Shino: He did it...!

The monster falls to the ground, yelling in agony.

The impact is so strong it makes the ground shake.

The force of the blow makes sand fly like smoke.

The rising sand hides both the giant monster and Lennox.

In the midst of it…

I could hear the sound of something like glass shattering.

A sparkling light mixed with the rising sand.

The smell of the poisonous mucus started to fade, and what we saw beyond the dust cloud was...

Lennox, standing on both feet.

Shining rainbow-colored stones were scattered at his feet.

As if they were celebrating his victory.

Akira: Lennox!

Everyone ran over to Lennox and supported him.

Shino: You did it.

Bradley: You showed some guts.

Shylock: Here, hold on to my shoulders. Your body must be in pain from the burns.

Arthur: I'll put healing magic on you. Lie down.

Heathcliff: I'll get sugar for you!

Chloe: Me too!

Lennox: Thank you, everybody.

Lennox: But these burns of this level are just scratches. It's all thanks to Chloe for making me clothes out of strong fabric.

Lennox: Thank you, Chloe. And I'm sorry.

Lennox: I ruined the clothes you took the time to make for me.

Chloe: ……!

Chloe: Oh come on, don't do that...!

Chloe: Don't apologize. I'm glad Lennox is safe. I'm so glad. Your safety is the most important thing.

Chloe: We can fix the clothes later. Let's all wear matching clothes until the very end and go back to the magic manor...!

Lennox: Yeah, I'm counting on you.

Luchino: (Amazing...)

Luchino: (This is, sage's wizard's power…)

Luchino: (Ah! I have to write down this heroic sight...!)

Beside us, gathered around Lennox, I saw Luchino running his pen.

And further ahead, I could see Rutile clutching the hand of Mister Mason, who lay there.

Rutile: (Thank goodness... From the looks of it, Arthur should be able to treat Mister Leno's burns.)

Rutile: (As for me, I have to do what I can.)

Mister Mason's rough hands continue to be illuminated by the healing light.

Rutile: (………It's okay. It's okay. You'll get better soon)

Rutile: (When you get better, let's go see Mister Craig first thing)

Rutile: (That's right. How about you go and watch the stars together for the first time in a while?)

Rutile: (I'm sure he'll be happy. So...)

Rutile: I'll definitely save you.

Rutile tightened his grip again in prayer.

And then―

Mason: hh…..

Rutile: Mason! Are you awake?

Mason: …Hu…..h….

Mason: Wha... the monster...?

Rutile: Mister Leno defeated it.

Rutile: You and your comrades. And this village too...

Rutile: Everything's okay now.

Rutile smiled at him with blurred eyes that looked like stars reflected on the surface of water.

Mister Mason received that smile and this time, he smiled back.

Three days later.

Shylock told me that he had cast a strengthening spell on the bedrock of the mine to make it less likely to crumble.

And after making sure that Lennox, Mister Mason, and the other people who had collapsed had made a full recovery…

We decided to say goodbye to the mine.

Lennox: Thank you for all your help.

Mason: Mister Lennox. That's what I should be saying.

Mason: If you guys hadn't come, I don't know what would have happened to this village by now… You really saved us.

Akira: It's all thanks to Luchino's suggestion. If he hadn't asked us to accompany him then, we might not have made it in time.

Chloe: True...! It was perfect timing. Thank you, Luchino.

Luchino: Not at all! It was a valuable experience for me.

Luchino: ...This time, I'll definitely make it a good article.

Luchino: An article worthy of your personalities, of your pride.

Arthur: Nothing makes me happier. Thank you, Luchino.

Arthur: We are truly lucky to have your help.

Arthur: I look forward to your article.

Luchino: Yes sir!

Shino: So? What are you going to do, Mason?

Shino: Are you coming with us, or are you going to stay here?

Shino: Have you come to a decision yet?

Shino's eyes pierce Mister Mason's heart. Mister Mason looks back straight and nods slightly.

Mason: Yeah, I've decided.

Mason: I'm staying here.

An unwavering answer. A face as fresh as the early summer breeze.

Lennox: ...I see.

Mason: ...When I encountered the monster, my body moved on its own.

Mason: I just couldn't forgive him. Because of him, everyone in the village...

Mason: But I couldn't do anything. I lost consciousness, and I thought, oh, I'm going to die...

Mason: I thought I'd never get to eat with Mister Craig and the rest again. It was so frustrating.

Lennox: …….!

Rutile: Hehe. I bet Mister Craig would cry if he heard that.

Shino: Go tell him that.

Mason: Haha, I'd rather not.

Mason: Whenever he gets happy he hugs me, and it hurts, A lot.

Mister Mason's somewhat reserved air softens and melts away.

Mason: I don't really get it yet, but...

Mason: I think this is my sliver of hope.

Mason: As long as I can eat with everyone in the village... I want to live here a little longer.

Mason: And I want to become a man who can use my father's pickaxe more skillfully.

Mason: And while I'm doing that, I hope I can start thinking about what ‘my job’ is...

That is, without a doubt, an answer he came up with himself.

Lennox, Shino, and Rutile smile softly, like an embrace for both his feelings and him.

And Heathcliff, who had been casting a gentle glance at Mister Mason, also smiled at him.

Heathcliff: ...If one day, you feel like you want to see a different world.

Heathcliff: Send a letter to the magic manor or the wizards’ house.

Heathcliff: I want to take you to the places you'd like to go. 

...Decisions aren't set in stone. We know that there will be nights when that resolve wavers.

Having a way out is also hope. Sometimes it helps you persevere.

The words Heathcliff gave him were a small ray of light.

Mason: Haha. I'd be nervous if a pretty person like you showed me around.

Mason: ...Thank you. I'll keep that option in mind as a good luck charm.

[I want to enjoy Engage. I like the art design, I like the characters, I like the gameplay, but for some reason I just can't really bring myself to enjoy it. Also, it lacks replay value compared to most previous titles, so I feel like I spent too much on it.]

@gensokyogarden replied to your post “((I have a headache so I'm watching an FE:Engage...”:

ENGAGE GOOD

((Ayyyy we have the big two(tm) opinions here! Joking aside, I reply to these responses in the same post because I want to share some general thoughts. I'm not trying to pit you against each other by highlighting your opposing opinions lmao. Even though it's been a few days, Engage has been swirling around in my head for about a week or so now, and I do want to give my thoughts to you two, who responded to me, at least, so that post I made doesn't just become a big jebait or whatever the term is. So, spoilers, Zane's thoughts, and etc. etc. beneath the cut. Oh yeah, and it's long so don't read it unless you want to know what I think of a game I've not played, that a lot of people have been dismissive towards.))

I am writing this across several sittings. At the time of writing this statement, I'm watching the Avalanche map, so basically I'm right near the end. (I've also seen some supports, but the guy whose playthrough I'm watching is doing them offsceen because he doesn't want to waste his audience's time with grinding.)

This isn't going to be a structured review, it's more of a slightly-edited thought-dump.

My overall thoughts of this game so far, which is an impression unlikely to change, is this:

Fire Emblem Engage is a game unfairly criticised as worse than it actually is. It's not a super good game, but it does not fall as far below the 'average' standards of the series as much as people say it does.

Before I get into the full swing of things, I need to offer a disclaimer: I am out of touch with the series. I've played FE3-12 and Echoes, which means I'm missing FE1, the game that started it all, and Awakening and Three Houses, two immensely popular games that made big changes to the way Fire Emblem works, brought many new people to the fanbase, and generated a lot of attention. (I also haven't played Fates, but it's a bit less relevant to what I have to say.) I have never been interested in Awakening or Three Houses, but they changed the Fire Emblem 'landscape' so much that I would consider myself out-of-touch simply because I haven't played them.

Addressing some common criticisms

The two main complaints I see first-and-foremost on the internet that dominate over the better-formulated criticisms are: It's too anime and the writing sucks.

Now, the anime thing is stupid. Fire Emblem has always been anime; it's a stale and tasteless counter-argument, but it's objectively true. Most Fire Emblem games at least partially reflect the anime style popular around the time they were made, and all of them draw some influences from anime in general. The designs are too colourful and fancy for my taste, but I still find them enjoyable (Chloe and Etie are probably my favourites? Not super fond of Etie's Archer outfit but the player I'm watching made her a Warrior and she looks fine). In fact, I think this design choice was good; they clearly wanted to deviate from the grimness and seriousness of Three Houses, and can they be blamed for that? Making that sort of story can get heavy at times, so for an anniversary game I feel like going for something lighter was the right choice. Overall, the presentation in this game is excellent; not enough to make me love it like I loved Echoes (which was carried by the presentation alone for me), but good enough that I enjoy seeing it on my screen.

The second criticism is the writing, which is semi-valid. It's almost-good in a lot of places, but there's always one or two tiny details holding it back in my eyes. It's frustrating, because I feel like Engage would actually be quite well-written with a few fairly small edits that remove some of the issues or make the stupid parts (Chapter 10-11 Time Crystal) less stupid. The issue I have with the criticism is not that it's wrong, it's that people act like all of the other games in the series are god-tier writing or something. This is objectively untrue; most Fire Emblem stories are fairly straightforward or cliche plots carried by a cast of one-note, but enjoyable and likeable characters. Liking the characters makes you overlook the flaws in the plot. Just think about how many Fire Emblem games are about awakening or summoning some kind of all-powerful dragon or dark god (or both), and then think about how often that actually bothers you simply because you like some of the characters.

Let's talk about the writing for a moment, since this is an RP blog and therefore revolves around writing

It sounds to me like Engage's writing is actually really average by Fire Emblem standards (it can't be worse than the GBA games at least, if you ask me) but it's issue is that it came after Three Houses, a game which tried to be very different from the rest of Fire Emblem when it comes to writing. I haven't played Three Houses but I have seen people react to it. The amount of time people spend debating and arguing over who's in the right or wrong, beyond just which lord/house they like, shows that the game provoked more thoughts from its players than just "Oh I like this character more than this other character." Engage clearly has not done this, and parts of it that could form a good running theme just don't quite connect. The dots don't quite link up and the stars don't quite align. It falls just short.

In my head, I'm comparing it with other Fire Emblem games and I don't think it's that much worse than some (fairly well regarded) entries in the series. For example, in FE7, everything Ephidel does doesn't really make sense since he's formenting a rebellion in Lycia to gather Quintessence for Nergal to summon dragons... even though Nergal already has enough Quintessence to summon a dragon. In Sacred Stones, Eirika is supposed to be the diplomacy route, and yet everywhere she goes, stuff(tm) happens and she gets dragged into fights because Fire Emblem requires things.exe to happen so that each chapter can be a fight. In Binding Blade, the big exposition was Jahn explaining Idoun's backstory... through the medium of Roy seizing like 20 thrones in one chapter. In Monshou, the big main idea of Hardin being turned evil was great and executed pretty well, but most chapters are "So you're fighting dudes loyal to Medeus or Hardin" and the story is mostly about Marth trying to figure out what's going on in Akaneia. It's not bad, but it's hardly some god-tier story that has the player hanging off the edge of their seat at every chapter.

By comparison, Engage has an issue with build-up and payoff. The payoffs are often good, but the build-ups often don't do them justice. For instance, Morion was a good payoff because while what happened to him was quite predictable, Alchryst and Diamant's boss conversations with him are great. What's lacking is the fact that he gets captured by Hyacinth like... one chapter after he's introduced, after raising a million death flags. If he had been a green unit (or even a playable character with a big "Morion will go back to ruling his kingdom after next chapter" warning, or his stats transferring over to Diamant like with Nils and Ninian in FE7) for a while to let the player get to know him better, then his death would have been more impactful. Let Alear agree or argue with him about certain things; Alear needs to interact with Morion's pretty strong force of personality (that I think is pretty well demonstrated, even if it's quite one-note, in his first appearance).

Likewise, Lumera died too quickly. We needed a few more chapters for her and Alear's relationship to ripen. If the game had opened with Alear sent to Firine (upon Alfred's request, to help deal with Corrupted and bandits), with Lumera accompanying them but not helping them in battles to help him readjust to being awake, then it would have probably worked out better pacing-wise. Little happens character-wise in those chapters, so slotting in some Alear-Lumera interactions would have helped establish Alear's personality and motivations for the rest of the game. After Firine, they could return to Lythos for a little bit of R&R with Lumera promising to teach Alear more about the Emblems. Then the attack happens, she dies before she can, and the game proceeds with Brodia after that. It makes Lumera more impactful because the player gets to see her relationship with Alear more, and it makes their feelings for her stronger too, since they now have time to experience how she's their mother and acts like it.

One last example I will give is Zephia. Her whole death scene is kind of invalidated by the fact that she's been speaking as if the Hounds are her family for the whole game. I think a little tweak could really have fixed it. Take 'family' to be the theme of the story; a lot of Fire Emblem games place emphasis on bloodlines and family. Engage could have taken that both ways: that sometimes, blood family is important (e.g. the royal sibling pairs in the game) but sometimes your found family is just as important (Lumera and Alear) and sometimes your family can be abusive and bad for you (Sombron and Veyle, Zephia and Marni). How does Zephia fit into this? Well, imagine if her dialogue was tweaked ever so slightly. The idea is that she misunderstands how family should be because of Sombron (what he said during the time travel part). She longs for a real family, but because of Sombron she thinks that family should be abusive. Seeing Alear and Veyle helps her appreciate what family should be, and she helps them because of that. She dies thanking Griss, and hoping that Marni will forgive her in the afterlife. There we go, a villain given a better redemption than the weird one she got in the game, and completing a theme/story/lesson for the game as a whole.

Zephia also suffers from the buildup thing. The Hounds have a lot of screentime but they don't really do much with it; Griss and Zephia get their motivations and backstories infodumped as they die, and Mauvier spends the first half of his appearances being all "I am a knight I follow orders" when he should have been dropping hints that his true loyalty was to Veyle, rather than just mechanically following orders. If some of that screentime had been used to develop that Marni wants familial love, while Zephia misunderstands what a family should be, and Griss thinks of Zephia as his mother/older sister but struggles to convey that since his world is dull when he's not feeling pain, then it would have made them more compelling than the four big mooks you knock over 13 times throughout the story. Oh yeah, and of course, they do the "I must retreat" thing way too often. Fighting them feels completely insignificant because they never die until they suddenly do.

Lastly, the characters are all quirky and... oh boy. I've seen people complain that the Engage characters are more one-note crazy than usual. That... doesn't feel true to me. They feel like they're less serious than usual, but that's Engage being light-hearted. I've seen serious stuff (Alfred's illness, Hortensia's feelings about stuff) but mostly it seems to be on the lighter side. I don't mind, but I think it should have perhaps been a bit more of a balance. I will say this thought: of the supports I have seen, character motivations at least seem to make sense and stay decently consistent.

Some of my other criticisms

I would argue that there are a few things holding the game back. The writing, I have already mentioned. While there are plenty of good individual moments, there's often a lack of good build-up or connectedness that makes the whole feel like wasted potential and staleness. The gameplay, I think might actually be the most tactical in any Fire Emblem game so far; you can't just air-drop a god-unit into any situation with 1-2 range as easily because of Weapon Triangle breaking, and chain strikes mean that positioning actually matters, and tanking isn't infinite. This might not be a good thing, however, as I get the feeling that the average casual Fire Emblem player... doesn't care about gameplay much. It can't suck, but a lot of the time they do just want to make their favourite unit into a god and drop them into whatever situation.

One of the biggest problems is the Emblems, however. They're not really written as themselves. They're more like echoes or shadows or ghosts of the character they're meant to be. They often feel like they were written by someone who'd only read a synopsis of what that character was like, instead of seeing and analysing them (which... is probably what happened). The Emblem ring bond supports are bland and soulless most of the time, with often no connection between the character and the Emblem based off their commonalities (though to be fair, writing 12 Emblem supports for each character would have been hell). Regardless, all of the Emblem characters feel way too superficial to actually matter most of the time, they mostly exist to reference their own games a lot or provide the same basic statements about things. The advice they offer in the story is... logical but kind of bland and uninteresting. Sometimes they feel right, but most of the time they feel... not very good, which is not great when they're meant to be a big selling point of the game. It's like the Emblems are supposed to make you so excited about seeing your favourite characters that you don't stop to think if they're acting in-character. I won't comment on them too much gameplay wise, since I think that as much as they are meant to somewhat represent their own games (e.g. Sigurd being mobility and canter, Lucina having dual strike stuff) there's a limit to what you can do since most Fire Emblem games play quite samey.

Another issue I think that Engage has is the lack of post-game. Relying on DLC and Multiplayer to create replayability for a single-player game is just... objectively a bad idea? It's not what people are mostly there for. Watching the playthrough made me think "If I were playing this game, I'd want to run some of the other characters in side battles to see their supports and find out more about them." A post-game would be good for that, maybe with a bonus series of maps like Thabes was in Echoes. As it is, I've seen no evidence of that sort of thing.

I want to say some nice things

So I actually quite like Alear. Not a lot a lot, but a fair lot, if that makes sense. Based on everything shown about past Alear, and the way Alear loses their memories, their character makes sense for most of the game. Past Alear was emotionally stunted because Sombrero is the worst Fire Emblem dad in the series, and present Alear has a serious case of no-thoughts-head-empty at the start of the game. Given that everyone treats them super well (worships even...), it makes sense for them to develop a positive outlook on life, a strong fondness of their friends, a solid sense of duty towards everyone counting on them, and also feel kind of creeped out at being worshipped. Alear also feels a little more complete as a main character to me, oddly enough? I haven't played those games so I can't say for sure, but Robin and Corrin both often gave me a weird vibe like they're meant to be the player's self-insert but didn't commit to it enough. Like they wanted to make a self-insert character but then realised they needed to insert more character for supports, interactions, and story beats. Alear, on the other hand, feels like they wrote a complete character and then had to shove the self-insert in, to their detriment.

I also need to talk about Yunaka. I think Yunaka did something no other Fire Emblem side character (non-main character) has ever done: she immediately made me want to read about her supports to learn more about her backstory. Most Fire Emblem characters show up and I'm like "Okay, so this is this character's vibe. I'll find out more in the supports, I bet." Yunaka though... as soon as I heard her battle/crit quotes and saw how much that differed from the quirky "OwO I am cute thief" personality she was projecting, I was immediately like "There's more here. I need to know what her deal is." The game immediately shows that she's good at acting, and as soon as you put her into combat you see a side of her completely different from the one you saw before, and that sparks curiosity. That's good. Fire Emblem doesn't do that, instead it tries to establish the one note that its one-note characters are based around in a good way so that the player knows what that character's deal is. This time, it did that, and more. I haven't seen all of Yunaka's supports yet, but I will go through all of them when I get the chance to. I must know.

The music and voice acting are pretty good. The presentation and CG art is good. I don't think I need to elaborate on this, I think they're presented in a way that accentuates the atmosphere they're trying to create most of the time.

I'm hesitant about this last bit, but I think the game conveys its characters well. This is something Fire Emblem has never really had trouble doing, so it's not really a thing in Engage's favour, it's just another thing the game is not bad at. The supports (or those that I've seen at least) are good at showing what each character's deal is. That's not hard to do, though it is occasionally not done well (Vaida and Dorcas... a support that shows what their characters are like, but repeats the same joke dragged out three times in a row without really resolving anything).

Edit: Oh, and I can't believe I forgot to say that the really cheesy and campy moments are amusing rather than cringe to me. I think they just barely toe the line at times, but like... given how often the games try to shoehorn the 'Fire Emblem' into it, this really isn't even the worst.

Conclusion

This is the part where I pretend to have a conclusion so it feels structured. I already said what I needed to say at the start, so this is the part I put a bow on it.

I feel like it's hard for me to assess this game. I haven't played it, and I haven't played Awakening and Three Houses, two games that I feel like probably influenced both the fanbase and Engage a lot. But I can't help but feel like it's better than all of the hate it gets. I don't really think it's god tier, but it's definitely not as bad as it's said to be. I think if I did have the opportunity to play it though, I'd enjoy it at least as much as I enjoyed FE6, FE8, and FE11. With the others I played, I think it'd be a bit more up in the air.

If I had to say though, there's enough problems for it to be disappointing, but enough good for it to not warrant the amount of hate I've seen. I feel like the hate it gets is often an instinctual rather than logical thing; rarely do I see people fully explain how they feel, and sometimes some of the people criticising it talk like they're series veterans but it turns out they've played like... 4 games. Still, I can't help but feel like if this game came out after Fates rather than Three Houses, people would have a better view of it.

This is the last part of the marvel comics characters list, I'll let you know if there are any other characters I overlooked

Take your time and Happy writing❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Awesome!☺️ Thank you again for going out of your way to put together these lists. You’ve definitely brought some new characters to my attention that I’m excited to look more into and write for at some point.

[connectionxterminated]

What are Artemis’ values and why? What are their goals and why? What are their favorite things? Is there a reason? What do they do for fun?

Artemis' values mainly consist of Honesty, Compassion and Having the ability to let go of things when the time is right. They treasure these values greatly due to their past with their parents, and the fact that they've had to deal with so many deaths in the family and with friends.

Artemis' goals consist of finally having the courage to stand up for themself, taking down Shinra with the rest of Avalanche, putting their foot down and standing up for themself in front of their mother, visiting their fathers grave and telling him just how far they were able to make it without him, to get better at playing the violin as one of their many hobbies, having the ability to take care of themself without feeling as if they're going to fall over and into the hole they've dug for themself, and finally, letting go of the past and embracing the future.

Their favourite things consist of spending time with the kids in the Sector 7 slums, helping out the Neighbourhood Watch when they get the chance to do so, spending time with Wedge and his cats, and lastly, freedom to do as they wish and/or see fit.

For fun they mostly like to play little games with the kids in Sector 7, such as pirates, tag, or whatever it may be! They adore kids! They also really enjoy playing with Wedge's cats! (Which in turn, Wedge loves as well!), They also really love playing board games and coming up with new potions for the missions for Avalanche!

Little note that I want to include: Artemis is more or less behind the scenes in Avalanche considering they're also an Alchemist, meaning they can easily make potions, remedies and what-not! So they always make sure to make extras for Avalanche when they go out on a mission! They usually give them to Wedge to hold onto for everyone!

Avalanches from Afar

In Avalanches from Afar, visual artist Serene Hui and composer Lam Lai present a hybrid work on the borderline between immersive installation and soundscape. Described as a ‘non-performance’, the piece is a 12-hour meditation on the subtle tension between speech and silence. Avalanches from Afar has its roots in a reflection on the limits of language and the disruption of direct communication. Drawing on literary references such as Jean-Dominique Bauby's Le Scaphandre et le Papillon, personal stories and Jean-René Toussaint's ‘Stemwerk - Primitive Voice’ method, the two artists explore how words, sounds and silences weave together to create a unique space for sensory experience. The long duration encourages a total letting go, allowing the audience to connect deeply with the fragments of language, sounds and silences that make up the surrounding atmosphere.
