👫 teddy/lana

send a 👫 and I’ll write four headcanons i have about our muses’ relationship.

ok so. lana has a habit of sharing food as one of her many love languages i think. she jst likes.... giving ppl things even if it means she’ll have less. she’d let a wolf make a meal out of her n eat every last piece if she loved him n she knew he’d feel full. bt of everyone i feel like teddy hs always been the one she does this w most.... like even when they first met in the cafeteria she gave him spoonfuls of her greek yogurt n honey. whenever she’s eating fruit (which is a lot she’s obsessed w strawberries n peaches n grapes n tangerines n oranges) she’ll ALWAYS give him half whether tht’s segmenting up pieces or dividing bites evenly between them n Without Fail it’ll always b half tht she gives him whereas she might give other ppl like.... a bite or a piece or two bt......... it’s rly specific each time tht she gives teddy half. it isn’t even intentional it’s jst like a subconscious thing bt if we were to slide on spectacles n analyse this in an english class fr it’s Meaning then. looks at u then looks away. i think this represents the way tht teddy hs always felt like another half of her. they’re one in the same. in a lot of ways they’re very similar mayb even................ TOO similar n that’s why it’s been sch a fking.... bastard of trying to work things out ever bc they very much hv the same rampant commitment issues n bad timing n fears of never being gd enough. i feel like in the past a guy she ws dating (noncommittally as lana tended to do these things) wld have even noticed this n it would have bugged him a lot just like... how close she was w teddy in general............. n he would’ve one day brought it up in the middle of a fight he’d picked jst cutting away from what they were talking abt to be like. u only ever give me one bite but u would give teddy all of it if he asked u to. tell me i’m wrong. n she’d scoff out a laugh in disbelief looking around like omg...... all this over a fruit...... what are u even sa-- n he’d cut her off n be like. literally tell me i’m wrong lana. n she wouldn’t even b able to after going quiet n rly realising what it was he was actually Saying. he’d storm out. relationship over. icons of always being a little bit in love w each other n not even noticing it until someone else points it out <3

god. sighs dramatically at the idea i jst had. i cn imagine in la verse lana being rly drunk getting bk from a date one time n inevitably it was just some random loser since she’s back to dating Trash in this era bc she just truly cbas trying after her breakup w dom n............. it would be like a parallel to tht one time they’d fallen out over him sleeping w imogen when she ws upset w him bt crawled into his bed drunk at a party just to lie w him for a little while despite everything...... she wld have gone to his instead of hers on some drunken automatic pilot n somehow got into his room n..... she’d clamber in n flop nxt to him n maybe it wld be funny at first if he woke up n was like lana what the fk...... are u doing here.... so disorientated n confused.......... n she’d just be joking initially bt very clearly drunk like making fun of her date talking abt how he kept complimenting his own hair n calling himself a tesla in a sea of prius’ n checking himself out in every window they passed n then the laughter wld slowly trickle off n she’d go kind of quiet fr a moment n maybe teddy wld assume she ws passing out bc she’d drank sm bt after a short silence she’d perk up with a mumble out of nowhere n, barely conscious of what she’s saying, b like “why didn’t u wait for me like u said u would”. n if he was like.............. huh? she’d have her eyes shut n just b murmuring half awake then open them sleepily to look at him n rly quietly be like........ “u promised”. mayb she’d even reach out to gingerly trace his face bt then her wrist wld go slack bc she was rly tired n she’d just wriggle closer n tuck her head to get comfy n be like “warm” then promptly fall asleep. JSGSFKGHFHGKHGSFKH. literally jst jolting him awake w this rarely serious n genuine conversation then passing out. jst the worst fk teddy’s life bet he lay there staring at the ceiling fr so long after tht one <3 lana wouldn’t remember this in the morning either she’d wake up like why am i here........ did we meet up last night............ teddy jst like >_> u crashed here it was nbd.

i picture the first week they moved to LA lana wldn’t have admitted it bt she wld be feeling rly homesick............ radcliffe was very much like the first place she truly felt was her home n she’d miss all of the ppl there n just the general area A Lot............. one night i can see her jst wanting to spend with teddy to have like a sense of familiarity in an unfamiliar city (even if she’s spent a decent amt of time there over the yrs bc of jameson records hving studios etc bt still) n i’m imagining them like. breaking into an indoor swimming complex that her n her friends in high skl used to break into in the summers when they vacationed yrs ago.... maybe lana still has a key cut tht works from a connection she made bk then idk <3 it doesn’t matter <3 n they’d inevitably be drunk n just messing around n splashing each other n doing handstand competitions n all the typical..... fun frivolous childish antics lana n teddy tend to get into whenever they’re around each other.... truly jst transformed into big kids whenever they’re in the other’s company..... inspired a little by this gifset jst in terms of the playing around underwater vibe. anyway. mayb they mostly dry off bt they end up climbing up onto the rooftop after n it’s a baking summer night anyway so it isn’t like they’ll catch a cold being damp bt they share a big fluffy towel n bottle of rum between them huddled overlooking the lights of the city. n maybe somehow it gets onto lana admitting how much she misses home n how it’s kind of weird being here especially bc she’s further from caleb. she’s never been this far from him since he was away in the army n we all kno hw tht turned out. mayb she’d go a bit quiet after saying this bt then i think she’d take his hand w their fingers laced together n she’d rest her head on his shoulder n be like. at least i’ll always have u. it’s like i took a piece of home w me. we’ve always had each other like that. then she’d perk up n lift her head n be like let’s make a deal. i’ll be ur home if u’ll be mine. ok? n make him pinky promise. i dnt think she’d quite consider the sentimentality in tht bt 😔 she nvr rly does she jst says what feels natural without attention paid to the deeper meaning tht motivated it n.... sighs. looks at u then looks away....

this is inspired by tht scene in don’t trust the b in apartment 23 where she’s like “look. that video of me getting rawed by my best friend means the world to me.” KJGFGJKSFHKGHKSFGHKFSHKGSHGK god. inevitably in lana n teddy’s prime when they were literally hooking up 24/7 in earlier college yrs they made.............. a few videos. i mean it’s jst realistic. it’s jst common sense. probably even a feature length film at one point. n i had this idea where bc teddy’s trying to get into acting etc mayb if he gets an agent his agent is like.... do u have any dirt u need to take care of? loose ends to tie up? incriminating files to delete? sex tapes? n if he was like... ya..... mayb his agent wld have asked him to delete them if he still had them on his computer or w.e i mean i kno lana wld n wouldn’t have deleted them she wld have been proud of their work of art...... bt maybe he told lana abt this just laughing abt it n the atmosphere ws lighthearted at first bc she’d find it rly funny too like ommmmggggggg i’m a skeleton in ur closet tht is so fun if u get famous i cld be blasted all over perez hilton that’s kind of sexy..... bt............... mayb she’d as a joke be like. mayb we shld watch it one last time before u delete it. kind of like a funeral service. a goodbye party. sailing out the flaming viking raft n paying our respects u know??? n they were joking bk n forth bt then she’d be like. seriously tho mayb we should? growing more accustomed to the idea actually being a genuine one even tho tht is fking. the WORST idea i have EVER heard in the world like i do NOT know how lana wld think she has the self control to do that bt in her head she’s like. teddy n i are jst best friends now... it’s fine........... we’re open w each other it’s just a bit of fun.......... n then i can imagine if he went along w this it’s like a game of chicken they’re playing w each other where they’re both like fking hell shd we do this.... dnt wna seem like I’M the one tht thinks i can’t handle it........ n it’s some back n forth like nick n jess in new girl where they’re daring each other to have the threeway w the landlord. bt then like not even.... a minute into watching it as they’re both silently holding their breath n crunching popcorn they mde for the occasion (insisting on acting like it ws just a normal movie night) lana wld literally have to be like. slams laptop shut. UMMMM i forgot.... i....... have a very important meeting......... n teddy’s just like. meeting? u don’t have a job... what are u ta-- n she’s like A MEETING A VERY IMPORTANT MEETING...... very blatantly squirming around as she slowly gets up n tries to head fr the door... n teddy’s like.... taking the excuse without much question too like... ya i have to run lines actually i jst remembered gt an audition coming up..... n they’re both like ya haha... maybe some other time.... or maybe just delete it it’s whatever.... anyway we gtg haha... bye.... ttyl...... lana wld literally hv to SPRINT out of there to go home n. deal w how flustered this made her i won’t lie. she bumps into parker n is all flushed in the face n is just like CAN’T TALK BYE n takes off sprinting again like some kind of freak. it’d b a train wreck. i jst think that’d b rly funny tho n dare i say it? it’s canon.

How do you do those Leokumi paralogues? Can you maybe teach me?

Sure! Don’t worry, it’s super easy to edit conversations (thanks to a nifty tool made by SecretiveCactus). If I can do it, pretty much anyone can. Fair warning, though: I don’t know how to do this for NTR CFW. I have no idea if the method for getting the changes into your game is the same, different, or what. I use HANS, so that’s the only method I know. Sorry!

FE14 Chapter/Paralogue/Support Editing Tutorial

I’m going to assume you’re already using UnassumingVenusaur’s Gay Fates hack. If you’re not, you’re missing out. I highly recommend it. I can’t even play vanilla Fates anymore.I’ll do a quick recap, though. (If you already have Gay Fates, skip to Part 2.)

[ PART 1 ]

The first three things you will need are:1. Homebrew Launcher2. Braindump3. RomFS Extractor

STEP ONEOkay, first you want Homebrew on your 3DS, so download the starter kit. I would highly recommend using SoundHax as your entry point. I won’t go into how to do this as there’s already a guide here. (Ignore the part at the bottom that says “Continue to Decrypt9″; your last step is Step 8: “Your console should load the Homebrew Launcher”.) You’ll also want to put the unzipped braindump folder into your 3ds/ folder on your SD card.STEP TWONow that that’s done, you’ll need to dump your game with braindump. Just select braindump from the homebrew menu and follow the instructions. It takes a while to dump your game, so plug in your 3DS and make sure you have enough space on your card to accommodate about 2GB or else the dump will fail. If you have more space than that available, all the better.Okay, now on your card you should have a folder with a name that is just a 16-digit string of numbers. It should match one of the strings below depending on your version of the game.USABirthright: 0004000000179400Conquest: 0004000000179600Special Ed.: 0004000000179800EURBirthright: 0004000000179500Conquest: 0004000000179700Special Ed.: 000400000017A800Got that folder? Great. Okay, drag it to your desktop so we can have some fun with it.STEP THREEInside the folder should be two files: romfs.bin and exefs.bin. Use the RomFS Extractor and point it at the romfs.bin, then let it do its thing. You will now have a folder called romfs_. Great, this is exactly what we need. (Also, you can now delete the original 000400000017etc.folder off your SD card.)

[ PART 2 ]

The next three things you will need are:4. FEAT (Fire Emblem Archive Tool)5. Conversation Editor (download)6. RomFS BuilderSTEP FOURThis is where the editing begins. I’m assuming you want to edit paralogues, so we’ll start with that, but this method also works for chapter dialogue and supports. And probably other things I haven’t thought of yet. Anyway, let’s start with Kiragi’s paralogue.Go into the romfs_ folder. This is the path to glory: romfs_\m\@EIn that @E folder are all of the support conversations and the paralogues. The support conversations are in this format: CHARACTER1_CHARACTER2.bin.lz, plus an extra designation if they’re a P/C or Sib support. These are in Japanese, so the Kiragi/Takumi P/C support would be キサラギ_タクミ_親子.bin.lz.キサラギ = Kiragiタクミ = Takumi親子 = Parent/Child兄弟 = SiblingJust in case you want to edit any supports to do with Corrin, you should know that name-wise, Corrin’s a bit of a special case. S/he’s not listed under カムイ or even マイユニット. Instead:プレイヤー女 = Player (Female)プレイヤー男 = Player (Male)The paralogues are much simpler to find. They’re simply listed as X###.bin.lz, with the ### corresponding to their in-game number. Kiragi is Paralogue 8, so his file is X008.bin.lz. Copy and paste that file to your desktop, or wherever it is you want to work on this.IMPORTANT NOTE: ALWAYS KEEP A BACKUP OF THE ORIGINAL FILE.You could always just use braindump again, but that’s time-consuming. If you make a mistake, it’s much easier to just have the original file on-hand to start over with.STEP FIVEOpen FEAT. It’s basically just a gray box with instructions in it that read “Open a file, or Drag/Drop several! Click this box to clear its text.” Take its advice and drag-and-drop X008.bin.lz onto it. You should now have the original .bin.lz file and two others: a .bin and a .txt. Ignore the .bin (I’ve never needed it) and open the .txt in Notepad. I would suggest unchecking Word Wrap for this. I know it looks kind of intimidating, but don’t worry. We’ll only be copy-pasting onto this.STEP SIXAnd now we get to the reason someone as incompetent as I am can actually run around editing game files willy-nilly: SecretiveCactus’ Conversation Editor, which works for Fates and Awakening! You’ll just need to download the appropriate packages for the game you want to edit. Follow the GUI Introduction so you know how to use it. It’s really user friendly, though.Drag and drop X008.bin.lz onto the Conversation Editor to open it. There should now be text in the white box, and six tabs above it: OP1, OP2, OP3, TK1, DIE_キサラギ, and ED1. Each of those tabs corresponds to a part of the paralogue.Now, the Conversation Editor (going to call it CE from here on out) has one tiny problem: when you click on ‘Convert to Script’ to change the code into something readable by regular humans, it occasionally decides to take chunks of text and hide them somewhere, never to be found again. I have no idea what causes this. I don’t think it happens in Kiragi’s paralogue, but just to be safe, I always follow these steps:1. Open file in CE.2. Hit ‘Reload Text’.3. Read through script.4. Hit ‘Convert to Script’ and ‘Reload Text’.5. Read through again to make sure nothing is missing.You could also just look the script up online and compare them that way, but obviously if you’re doing custom work, you’ll have to do it the longer way. I’ve never noticed a discrepancy going from Script to Game, though I still double-check to be sure.There are occasionally things that don’t “translate” into Script, such as certain sound effects. Chapter 10 of Revelation is a good example of this; when Leo rides away from Corrin after telling her where the hostages are, the code is:$Wsレオン|$Wa$Eキメ|Along with the pathetic Hoshidan\nprince, Takumi.$k\n$Wsusername|$Wa$SvpVOICE_PLAYER_F#_EVT_21|$E通常|What?\nDo you mean—$k$p$Sbv0|8000|$k\n$Wsレオン|$Wd$w0|\n$w200|$SspSE_EVT_HORSE_GO_AWAY|$w800|The Script version is:Leo (Posed): Along with the pathetic Hoshidan prince, Takumi.Corrin [VOICE_PLAYER_F#_EVT_21] (Standard): What? Do you mean—$Sbv0|8000|(EXIT: Leo)$w200|$SspSE_EVT_HORSE_GO_AWAY|$w800|Which, obviously, is not a perfect rendering. (Not complaining, though! I love this tool to the ends of the Earth.) In cases like this, be very careful to make sure that the formatting remains correct. This is why we’re using FEAT as well as the CE. Usually I’ll make a change in CE, convert back to Game view, then copy and paste just the part I changed into the text file so as to preserve other formatting, just in case.Okay, so once you’ve made sure that the Game -> Script conversion is fine, this is the part where you would make your changes. Add dialogue, erase dialogue, insert characters, make them all sing Kumbaya, whatever your heart desires. Go from Script -> Game, copy-paste the changes over to the text file, then save and close the text file. Drag and drop the text file back onto FEAT. It will automatically update the .bin.lz file. Drag and drop the .bin.lz file onto the CE to open it, hit ‘Reload Text’ and check to make sure everything looks good, and then we’re done! Overwrite the original file in the romfs_ folder with your edited one (always making sure to keep a backup of the original, unedited file, naturally).That was a long step! The next one is easy, I promise.STEP SEVENOpen RomFS Builder. Point it at the romfs_ folder and let it do its thing. It will prompt you for a file name. If you’re using the Gay Fates hack, you already know this; if not, you need to name it the last eight digits of the braindump folder name, with the extension of .romfs. For example, if you have the USA Special Edition, the file will be called 00179800.romfs. You can save it directly to your SD card if you want, or anywhere else and then just move it there after. However you do it, when you do put it on the SD card, you need to make a folder called ‘hans’ on the root of the SD card and save the .romfs file inside it. If your computer designates your SD card as, say, F:, this would be the path: F:/hans/00179800.romfsSTEP EIGHTAnd you’re done! Load the game up through HANS and make sure everything looks right. Enjoy your edits! As I mentioned, you can also use the CE to edit entire chapter conversations as well. Those are found… well, I’m not actually sure how those look on the Birthright or Conquest cartridges. The Special Edition, since it has everything on one cart, has inside the ’m’ folder the following folders:@EABCcommon@E has support conversations and paralogues. A is Birthright chapter files, B is Conquest chapter files, and C is Revelation chapter files.As a fun note, you can also edit endings with FEAT! The file for character endings is in the @E folder with the paralogues. It’s pretty easy to find, being named “Ending.bin.lz” and all. Run it through FEAT and you’ll have the power to change fate. Don’t like a character’s ending? Change it! Make new ones! The world is your oyster! …Just be careful about character limits and line breaks. And, as always, keep a backup of the original.And that’s it! If you have any questions, let me know. I don’t know how much more help I can be, since I basically just dumped everything I know onto this tutorial, but if anything I said was confusing or didn’t make sense I’d be happy to try to clarify. Happy editing!EXAMPLESParalogue 8: Leokumi EditionParalogue 16: Leokumi Edition
