GIRL......................... suspension of disbelief I know but.

Obviously you can pick out a BUNCH of the dragons as that Is an ongoing trope (dragons aging differently than humans, so they can look younger than they "actually are") (also while I did try to avoid including them to make them more comparable to Nino, I think Flayn can fit in either category for the purposes of The Context -- esp cause her dragon blood is meant to be secret)

Not only do we have Heroes skewing younger (a lot fitting into another trope of What If There Was A Baby Sister) we also have Baby Banner. Where the whole point is they are baby.

LIKE....... maybe I'm speaking way too soon and maybe the whole point IS this will backfire LMFAO, but it IS absurd to be presented with her art (which, def still looks youthful!) and having her say yeah I can pass as a kidnapped child. Which COULD be true! But also what do you mean no one is going to know you're a part of the Heroes. Why is no one fighting her on this. Not even including the dragons there are like a handful of Heroes who fit into her exact vibe. Some even MORE baby than her.

@polast-u-s

this hinges more on my interpretation of kiran so if you’ll humor me, i’ll start explaining why

so im working off the idea that kiran is a fire emblem nerd isekai’d into FEH. from there, i extrapolated a couple of common possible traits a person like that might have

possessiveness of heroes. the player would likely try not to let their fav FE unit go if they wanted to leave

obsessiveness. the player wouldve likely dug up all kinds of info relating to their fixation, be that lore or character wise. in short, imagine a player walking up to you and immediately going ‘btw i know of your most embarrassing vulnerable moment bc ive been watching over u! uwu’. (fuck that shit lmao)

arrogance/hubris. FEH is medieval and we’re technologically advanced so the natural assumption for some people is we just know better, for example

and if we assume that the leads in FE games are their avatar, or their window to look into the worlds, then you can start to see that an isekai’d person like that starts to have a perception of time in the same way a god or a divinity would. 2 years in fire emblem awakening would have been 5 minutes for us, for example.

and now, what if this player had a sense of how the FE world and its political systems should be? what if we had nothing but a single FE game world, say arachnea, and we see marth ascend the throne, only to see one of his descendants fucking things up in the next game. now, if the player now had the direct power to change things… would they possibly get rid of this descendant who has failed their expectations? maybe restore the nation marth built, through his journey of sacrifice, tragedy and blood, instead of watching it waste away?

you know, kinda like what eitri did?

replace marth with any FE royals meant to ascend the throne. alfonse, chrom, dmitri, alfred, alear, absolutely whoever and whatever. same thing applies.

eitri has all 3 traits i mentioned above. they're loyal to Niðavellir’s first king, possessive of his country and obsessed enough to engineer a crown that drives everyone but the ‘correct’ bloodline crazy. their arrogance is what ultimately does them in, their hubris borne out of that first love and obsession.

they summon heroes and breaks them, kiran summons heroes and seems to at least implant a suggestion. as far as i can tell, no matter how you’re meant to read kiran, they’re meant to come off as benevolent, so those three traits can be present, but not expressed overtly.

(as a thought exercise, would YOU let go of the unit you sunk orbs and feathers for? to build? if this was a real situation and these were real actualized people, are you, the player, benevolent?)

so when eitri says in their recording left for the summoner at the end of book 5:

@1:34: “And you, what incredible self-righteousness! Do you really think you’re any different?”

my thought when i saw that was just: ‘i love this antagonist holy shit’

uh anyway yeah thats why i think eitri is a reflection of the player. i might be reading too hard into this, but here u go.

as a final note, i think fafnir is a reflection of the player as well, but far more ignorant than anything. both kiran and fafnir are isekai’d into FE, and i think if there exists a player who is arrogant enough, they could totally take out alfonse and take over askr. but kiran doesnt despite the power they are clearly gaining as time goes on. i also read this as the world of FE punishing an outsider stepping too far out of line, so maybe its a good thing kiran didnt try to do exactly what fafnir did.

Blitzen: "Death of a Hero" Idea

Suggested: Listen to “Death of A Hero” by Alec Benjamin before reading.

Recap: Blitzen and Bilí had a feud with Eitri Junior because Junior’s father, Eitri, crafted Gleipnir in a rush, but Junior refused to hear that it was loosened, claiming that he checked on it from time to time and that Bilí was only trying to stain his reputation. He turned dwarves against them, making them lose business, shunning them in their own homeland until Bilí had enough and, shortly after, Blitz left Nidavellir. 

But it is mentioned that Eitri Junior is about 500 years old. Blitz is twenty. Thus, Eitri Junior was still old (or as Blitzen has observed, a step away from fossilization) when Blitz was a baby. Since Eitri himself was renowned by Nidavellir, the propaganda most likely impacted little Blitz’s mind. As a child, could he have admired Eitri and Eitri Junior? Could he have wanted to grow up and craft just as well as they do? 

As Blitz’s designated childhood heroes, their fall from grace was a tall one. Slowly, news begins to spread through Nidavellir about Blitzen, the son of Bilí, great ropecrafter. Blitz cannot craft for his life, they mock. Blitzen searches for comfort in his father one day when the contempt is too much to handle alone, and this is when Bili learns of Blitz’s admiration of his adversaries. Bilí warns Blitz against Eitri Junior, but, thinking Blitz was too young, that he had enough on his shoulders already, Bilí does not reveal why. 

Rumors reach Eitri Junior and, as Blitz is beginning to lose hope that he will ever be able to craft anything (excluding waterfowl), he gets the chance to meet his hero. He sneaks away from his father and rushes to meet Junior, this teenage boy on the verge of explosion who is hoping to find encouragement, that his hero has faith in him. 

What he finds instead is a look of complete disgust. 

Insults fly like bullets; that Blitz is worse than his father- who, to Blitzen’s shock, has been charging Eitri of poor manufacturing- and that he’ll amount to nothing as a dwarf, that to think he could ever live up to the great, renowned Eitri was a fool’s dream. That he is nothing but a receipt, the hollow ding! of a cash register after a purchase between two empty-eyed strangers. 

Crestfallen, Blitzen makes his way home to the solitude of his bedroom, where the posters of Eitri are burned, the magazines thrown out, because now, the death of his hero has scorched itself into the backs of his eyelids. And it will not wash away no matter how much he cries.
