(Mod Toto) Made a short edit of the Book VII movie but with End of the World (Sono chi no Kioku) playing! 

Sadly I just got sick so I’ll make a full version when I feel better and get more free time, but if you enjoyed it, consider supporting it on youtube as well!

Excuse me, Seidr

I just don't wanna have... Whatever you want to create. I cannot even raise a plant properly and this character offers me that. Considering how Njördr is involved, I feel betrayed. Hopefully he gets to be the villain.

But if the main thought wasn't enough to get Seidr out of my sight, I can offer 20 more reasons:

And there'll be more.

Fortunately my FEH OC is not the summoner, so the proposal's not for her. Even so, she'd be quite alarmed to hear such a red flag.

Book 7 Thoughts So Far

With what Gullveig is capable of, I think she has the potential to be the scariest villain in FEH.

For story I'm kind of getting the vibe that it's kind of gonna be like Higurashi, but without the blood, paranoia, and friends killing each other thing.

More like the whole doing the time loop thing to change fate and prevent everyone form dying, with a god helping out in the endeavor.

The details of the opening make me wonder if we're gonna die repeatably and timeloop until we find a way to beat Gullveig. I wonder if Chapter 13 was just a vision of the future/dream or was it part of a previous timeloop? Book just started and thinking about the time travel element is already fucking with my head. But at I'll admit doing the chapters out of order is nice way to mix it up a little.

Book VII has dropped!

The feeling I’m getting from it is like they mixed together the themes of Book III and IV. On the one hand, we have an apparent character death, but also implied timeline/perception fuckery like the one caused by the dreams and nightmares from Freyja’s arc.  And the new villain’s gimmick is interesting, because the ability to reset time by a few “turns” is something that has recently been given to the player in Echoes of Valentia and Three Houses. In Hopes, we also saw how terrifying an opponent with that ability would be when Shez fought against Byleth. Her design is also kick ass, and I like how they chose to present her time power like the “sands of time”. 

She also seems to be related to Jormungandr, the giant sea snake in norse mythology. So Loki and Thor may get involved in this arc as well. This is also the Vanaheim arc, so once it’s done, the story will probably move onto either Asgard, to face the Allfather, or Midgard to visit the modern “world of steel” that the summoner comes from.

Maybe the order will be Vanaheim - Asgard - Midgard?

Ok, like, why are the new Book VII designs really good? I can't even be mad at it being a female-dominant cast because they all look beautiful. The coloring on them, the outfits that give just the right amount of fanservice, and I love the snake theming on the villain (I'll learn these characters' names eventually). And with time playing a central role in this book, this might be pretty interesting. Just please don't go down like Book IV.

Also Dwyer's in the game now, yay!

And they better keep Hans far away from Corrin, especially his fallen version. I'm pretty sure he will rip Hans' entire skeleton out of his mouth.

Absolute Power: Task Force VII #4 (DC, August 2024) variant cover by Steve Beach

[thesummonerandthehelgeneral]

For reason  I felt like doing a quick edit of the Book VII opening to Amalee's cover of Flower of Hell form Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni Kai. We'll wait and see how the book goes to see if this ends up being fitting or not.

JACOB COLLINS-LEVY as King Henry VII The White Princess | In Bed with the Enemy

[tiny-librarian]

When most people think of the Death of Cleopatra, they think of  something like the above pictures. Cleopatra lying on a couch, or standing there clutching a snake to her exposed breast. Or, as in some of the above cases, with the fabled serpent biting directly on to her nipple. She is almost always nude or nearly so, practically inviting everyone to gaze on her body as she lies there in her death throes. She is frequently delicately pulling her gown down to give the viewer a perfect view of her breasts. Often her equally unclothed handmaidens are falling over her in their own death throes, or gesturing dramatically to better showcase their nudity. There are also usually several other people portrayed there as well, staring down at the nude, or nearly so, Queen’s corpse.

It has been, and will likely continue to be, a popular theme in art to depict her that way. It used to be a titillating thing, an excuse to paint a beautiful nude/semi nude woman. She’s been immortalized as such in sculpture, paintings, wax figures, and everything in between.

This image of her though, is a myth. Pure and simple.

Stacy Schiff, the author of “Cleopatra: A Life” describes her death like so:

Cleopatra lay on a golden couch, probably an Egyptian-style bed with lion paws for legs and lion heads at its corners. Majestically and meticulously arrayed in “her most beautiful apparel,” she gripped in her hands the crook and flail. She was perfectly composed and completely dead, Iras very nearly so at her feet. Lurching and heavy-headed, almost unable to stand, Charmion was clumsily attempting to make right the diadem around Cleopatra’s forehead. Angrily one of Octavian’s men exploded: “A fine deed this, Charmion!” She had just the energy to offer a parting shot. With a tartness that would have made her mistress proud, she managed, ”It is indeed most fine, and befitting the descendant of so many kings,” before collapsing in a heap, at her queen’s side. Charmion’s was an epitaph no one could dispute. (Nor could it be improved upon. Shakespeare used it verbatim.)

Cleopatra went to her death as she’d lived her entire adult life, as the Queen of Egypt. She had her royal robes and ornaments on, and was thus fully dressed. She knew full well Octavian and his men were going to burst in on her, were going to find her and her ladies there dead. There is no chance she was going to be lying there undressed when a room-full of strange men were going to be looking at her. Cleopatra made sure she went first, so that her ladies could arrange her so nothing inappropriate would be seen. As far as we know, the only ones there at the time of her death were her and her two handmaidens, as they had barricaded themselves inside her mausoleum.

It’s likely all the nudity also stems from propaganda spread by Octavian both during her life and after her death, painting her as a whore and a seductress. Of course she would be naked she was the decadent Eastern Queen who seduced men with her witchcraft! It’s just one of the many, and increasingly ridiculous, misconceptions that’s been spread about her since her death and one that people should realize was certainly not true. The snake is now widely regarded by most scholars as a myth as well, since it’s far more likely she took some kind of poison to end her life instead.

A couple scenes of Asra’s route, book VII

I didn’t remember how starving for love and protective Asra is, I always feel for them.
