Day 7: Free Day!

Sorry this was like super late!! But I finally finished the last day of hero partner week! I wanted to go for a team up and monster house theme!

The teams working together are Team Spellbound, Edna the Snivy and Raziel the Froakie. Team SweetDream, Vulplix and Fi the Treeko. And Team Lock&Key, Wonder the Skitty and Midna the Riolu!

Happy pride month and I’ve finally finished what I had planned for hero partner week of free day. This was a very fun event and I wanted to finish it off with a few jokes and support. Just know that anyone in the LGBTQIA+ community should be able to be treated like human beings and get the respect they deserve.

Anyway transphobes, terfs, homophobes, and any bigots against the lgbtqia+ community fuck off and Dni.

been thinking A LOT about this post from toby

if it wasn't already clear why the rule exists, chapters 3&4 cemented that it's related to the game's themes of autonomy and control. toby gets that marketing can influence a meta narrative! and he understands how central these themes are to the characters of kris, noelle, and susie in particular

in kris's case, control and autonomy are clearly the main struggle of their character. the player is just jerking their meat puppet around by the soul. they have so little control that in the weird route, you can reach through them and gain control of their childhood best friend too. the player's power over kris (and noelle) is like, arguably the underlying horror of this story. so i get why he doesn't want to turn those characters into dolls and trap them under another layer of metaphysical ownership

SUSIE though, i always thought was included here just because of her proximity to that whole mess. after 3&4 it's clear the opposite is true, she has TOO much autonomy, and can't be held down by silly narratives. a marketable plushie exists in direct contention with her character

to me, this explains why the three appear on some merch (pins, tshirts) but not all. what seems to be truly off limits is collectible stuff: standees, figurines, plushes. he doesnt want these specific player-character relationships to be encouraged through marketing. he wants them to play out as they will.

THE DARK WORLD half of toby's post however is maybe even more crazy to me now. i was kinda taken aback by the amount of ralsei plush in these chapters until i remembered his phrasing of considering the game setting & deciding "the game is improved by selling this".

it makes sense! dark world characters are fantasy animations looking for purpose. spamton and tenna find theirs in literal aggressive marketing. and RALSEI finds his in advertising the prophecy to kris and susie, promising it's worth following. these characters all market the narrative of the game to us. and have meta relationships with the marketing of the game.

so like, yeah the ralsei plush cameos are a little shameless, but i can appreciate them too. they remind us of the layers through which we're experiencing the game. no aspect of deltarune not even its marketing will be safe from toby's narrative fuckery

the deaths of parents in fire emblem, categorized

addendums:

there's leeway between the unspecified and backstory categories on account of I Don't Know All Lore. i am only confident of my placement of roy in this tier on account of i have read every binding blade support. she is not mentioned. ever.

alfonse and sharena are under alive mom FOR NOW. i dont trust henriette to survive all of feh

all characters who commit matricide had their moms resurrected as zombies and forced into combat, unlike the patricide squad, who all killed their very alive dads.

robin is the only character to qualify for (non-zombie) double patricide on account of reincarnation business (forneus, validar)

the highest parent kill count is held by revelations corrin at 3 (mikoto, sumeragi, anankos), albeit with two zombie-fied parents. Corrin also has the most parents of any FE character in general, with a total of 4.
