#Python fe

[gullcrest]

finally finished my playthrough of echoes! i really liked it (if you could tell from all the damb forsyth's i've drawn)

Some of my favorites

[greenshi]

alright tell me about YOUR current favorite guy now

I AM FINALLY DOING THIS i have been. so distracted lmaooo. BUT I decided to do the guy in my icon, fifth member of weezer and best FE character, Python <3. He may not be the Number One guy in my brain right this moment, but that spot and most after it are all taken by OCs, so. We're doing him instead. Also because of this tag because I think you'd like this guy jort

ANYWAY, Python. My guy. He's a character from Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, a recruitable archer early on in Alm's route.

Now, in Echoes, the class discrepancy between nobles and commoners is a prominent theme, especially in Alm's route. This is something that comes up in a lot of FE games, unsurprisingly, seeing as princes and thieves fight together side by side. And the games (at least those I've played, which is only FEA-FE3H. I know.) tend to handwave a lot of the more unsavory points of that topic. A lot of the time, conversations or supports that delve into that topic end in "yeah, being poor and starving sucks, but you know what also sucks? Being royalty! It's really hard :[" which, like, yeah, it is, but also one party here has the means to help the other, but is choosing not to instead say how their life sucks too, actually. Idk, these conversations always rubbed me in the wrong way a bit.

ALL THAT BEING SAID, Python is a commoner. And he doesnt buy any of that "being rich is hard too guys :[" shit for a Second. In his support with Clive (a nobleman knight who's opinion on the whole situation is "well some people have to be poor so I can be rich") he straight up tells him that his ideas on how society should be run are wrong and that his view on common people are condescending at best.

Python doesn't fight for honor or any sense of duty, he fights for his paycheck and his childhood friend who does feel that duty, Forsyth. Even if he and Forsyth disagree on many things, there's a mutual respect between the two, an understanding of their station, and a small rivalry between how to best navigate said station. Forsyth encourages Python to get out there, try things, put some effort into life. But Python just, doesn't see much of a point. But it's not for any depressive reason, or even straight apathy. Python just prioritizes rest and relaxation. He doesn't live to work, he has no dream job (which Forsyth takes as having no dream at all, not that Python would disagree), he just wants to enjoy his life; sleeping in the sun, having a few drinks, spending time with friends, and sharing stories and gossip.

Speaking of friends and gossip, I'm going to drop my favorite support of his, maybe even my favorite support in the whole game (even though its locked behind a dlc map like seriously what was up with this games dlc why is a support between two base game units behind a paywall-)

Going from this support, and the fact that neither of them have romantic endings, (Lukas' even saying he 'never wanted for companionship') this is a pretty clear attempt by FE at writing two aroace (or at least just aro) characters. And, idk, I think its really special. Neither are framed as missing out or needing another to be happy, the conversation is to the point and respectful, and they are both allowed to be full characters beyond this detail of their lives.

And that's a common thread through Python's character that I admire. In any other story, the character that had no want for big dreams, constant improvement, or romance would be framed as an empty person, someone deeply unhappy without anything to strive for. But, even as the other characters try and impose that narrative onto Python, that's never actually the case. He is happy as he is, doing just enough to be as comfortable as he can, taking rests and shortcuts all along the way. He will not sell his time more than he must, he will not work harder than he has to, he will not allow those who push themselves to breaking for those above them to guilt him into doing the same. He has nothing to prove, nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, the one time he could push himself, in his bad ending after Forsyth dies, *THAT* is when he is empty and miserable, fighting like his friend once did until his early, untimely death.

Python is just such a breath of fresh air. He was the one in my brain telling me say no to my boss long before Chilchuck, he is a character that not even FE has been able to write like that again (even when writing for him specifically, like his Heroes characterization is so off and bad augh). He is one of the very few canonically aro characters I can find, and I'm proud to have him napping in my icon for the foreseeable future.

ok here they are for real this time

The shovel is still tossed away in the house somewhere, but he doesn’t want it. He digs with his hands, swift but careful, reverent of what lies beneath. The soft earth crumbles easily under his fingers. Soon enough, the skull is staring up at him, its empty eye sockets a strange echo of Python’s own.

From @luce-speaks 's incredible ghost au fic, Laid to Rest ! There were so many moments I wanted to draw, but this one really stuck in my brain and I wanted to bring it to life (pun intended)

Y'know what, fuck you *cookies more of your christmas cavs and adjacents who don't really fit but do in my heart* (I'm talking about the trio not the mages)

I don't think I can give accurate flavour profiles for all of them, but I will give the ones I have one for:

Kent- He is just typical gingerbread to me.

Mae- Either strawberry, intensely sugary, or spicy. But more between 'just sugar' and 'strawberry'

Forsyth- Apple. Don't ask why I don't know either.

Forde- Either a citrus-y type of flavour, or way too much neon red and yellow icing

Clanne- Pistachio

Framme-Raspberry

Also a few of them may have hidden bitten alts. I'm sorry me and my friend may have bited them

Python's "Are you..crying?" crit line in heroes is so good to me like he DOES care. Even if only a little he cares

love square with lukas, forsyth & python

pairing: forsyth x python x gn!reader x lukas

tags: love triangle/square, member of the resistance!reader, wholesome fluff, secret crushes, friends/comrads to lovers

while forsyth and python are childhood friends who've known each other for as long as they can remember, they only met lukas – and you – when joining the resistance!

lukas was the man who recruited you, having tried to stay professional with you from the very start, yet slowly failing, as his romantic feelings for you grow stronger

forsyth and python both fall for you upon first meeting you! there aren't too many people in the resistance who they could have a crush on, so it's not much of a surprise

but their feelings for you are genuine and grow stronger as time passes. while they might've just found you attractive at first, they truly begin to care about you over time!

forsyth and python can't really keep secrets from each other, even if they were to try! and as for lukas, he's aware that those two are in love with you as well…

all three boys are very respectful and wouldn't dare to overstep any boundaries and ruin the companionship they have with you right now!

yet python is the only one who dares to flirt with you on occasion, while lukas and forsyth show their affection for you through acts of service or by protecting you during battles!

due to how much the three of them are holding back, you might not even notice they are in love with you! it's not too obvious to anyone but them!

but if you pay close attention, you'll begin to notice that their eyes are always on you and that those three men would do anything to keep you safe and happy!
