[st4rguy]

just reilized i never put my cq playlists on here sooo here

some of these are purely there beacuse of aus (that i made up in my brain and never explained) or animatics that live in my head or headcanons and might not entirely make sense

[asterouslyaesthetic]

thinking of a time travel au for fates gen 2, because deeprealms are a terrible way to get the kids. but the campaign chosen doesn't necessarily dictate the kids you get

so it's kind of like heirs of fate, where they come from two different world. thanks to a combination of Lilith, the orb that was entrusted to the Awakening trio, and the appropriate Corrin kids, they are able to travel back in tim

the timeline diverges as early as a few years before the game starts. this time, Corrin ends up on Rev instead.

CQ

Jakob!F!Kana

found alongside Midori at a Hoshidan village. Mikoto discreetly asks Kaze to take in both girls and insists they be treated as important guests, particularly Kana. She's already there when Corrin is taken to the castle. (Dead in BR)

Corrin!Dwyer

blames himself for not being able to save M!Kana, and is the first person to encourage mutual cooperation between the two factions. Applies to be a butler at Northern Fortress to get close to Corrin, who recognizes him from her visions. Inherits Yato. (Dead in BR)

Kagero!Asugi

sticks around to help, but dyes his hair, changes his name (as in canon), and never tells his parents who he is. when his lady doesn't show up, he leaves to find her and takes on the name "Gaius". Caeldori's retainer. (Dead in BR)

Hinoka!Caeldori

falls into Ylisse, and while scouring the skies to try and find Asugi and to find out where she is, she's found by Phila. She takes on the name "Cordelia" and becomes a part of Ylisse's Pegasus Knight squad (Dead in BR)

Selena!Midori

deeply curious about her cousin Asugi and just young enough to not understand why he resents her so much. She's mostly kept off the battlefield. Is training to be F!Kana's retainer, and has her existence revealed by Soleil. (Does not exist in BR)

Lucina!Soleil

promptly ends up having her identity revealed to her parents because she has a brand, being the first one as well, after Laslow finds her in a bar. Is the first instance of Nohr realizing something is up. Inherits Falchion. Siegbert's retainer. (Dead in BR)

Nyx!Siegbert

Rinkah!Mitama

Azura!Hisame

third prince of Nohr. The sword he carries is the same one his father named after him. While okay with an alliance with the other faction, is stubbornly against revealing their identity to their parents. Joins as a samurai at the castle to be able to watch over his mother. (Does not exist in CQ)

Orochi!Shiro

first prince of Hoshido and the leader of the army. Feels responsible for losing Dwyer and M!Kana.

First Dwyer's, then Kana's retainer. Chooses to reunite with her father first, introducing herself as a distant cousin. After he disappears, she attempts to track him down. (Does not exist in CQ)

what if i made count dogulus cordelia in the cq au /hj

[teaveetamer]

Anon that found Birthright meh, I should have probably explained better, but I bought all 3 of Fates. The piece meal nature combined with the discounts if you did the Dragon Gate were wonderful. Conquest was my first, which blew my mind, Birthright was second and Rev last, and while Conquest is my favorite, I did greatly enjoyed Rev. As you said, B and C are so vastly different in terms of maps, story and armies that it was worth.

If I had to talk about repetitiveness, I would say that while I played Birthright I had some deja vus of Awakening, and about a quarter of Rev had some map repeats. That said credit given where credit is due, Rev always came discounted and it added gimmicks to play with coupled mostly new maps.

Oh, no I figured you bought all three. I was just saying that you didn't need to if you didn't want to

I think BR and Awakening just feel similar because it's a lot of wide open maps with rout objectives, but it also makes sense. BR was designed to be very similar to Awakening since it was supposed to be the "easy, beginner" entry for FE newbies (to contrast CQ's harder, series vet status) and Awakening was REALLY good at drawing in the newbie crowd. Why not just do the same thing again?

If I had one criticism of BR (aside from the maps) and Fates in general, it's probably just that it was so similar to Awakening in some ways, it kind of lacked its own identity in certain respects. Like, a lot of the cast were very obviously meant to map pretty closely onto Awakening's super popular cast. E.g. Subaki is a red haired pegasus knight who is often praised for being perfect just like Cordelia (his daughter is even the Cordelia dupe!). Hayato is the young looking red haired wind mage who has a bit of a complex about being seen as less capable/a child just like Ricken. Or be similar enough to be recognizably familiar (e.g. Azama and Henry). Or sometimes just straight up being duped into the game (Severa, Owain, Inigo) or duped into the game as slightly different child characters (Caeldori, Rhajat, Asugi) with some of the same gimmicks.

Or like Fates doing child characters pretty much just because Awakening did child characters and people liked them, even though they made ZERO sense for the story unlike Awakening

But yeah I was kind of rambling there lol

[noisemastter]

Happy Webcomic Wednesday! This week featuring Cucumber Quest by gigi d.g!

Cucumber Quest is an incredibly cute webcomic about a a kid named Cucumber who’s given a Quest. All of the characters are likable. Honestly. Even the “annoying” characters, if even call them that are great and have good moments that make you like them. The protagonist, Cucumber, is the reluctant hero, a magic student who is dragged into some vague quest to defeat an ancient evil when he really just wants to go to school. His little sister Almond, by contrast, is more than willing to go on the quest for him, but isn’t allowed because of her little sister status.

The story itself plays like a typical fantasy quest type story but is given an added twist with video game rpg/fantasy quest story tropes, mechanics and cliches in the best of ways to tell a story that feels familiar and new all on it’s own while having some of the Best comedic timing out there in the webcomic world today. As fun and simply “cute” as the story may seem there’s always a sense of something bigger going on. The art is fantastic with excellent palettes and characters & has a storybook feel throughout. I really can’t express how much I love this comic. 

Give it a Read! Draw Fanart! Support Webcomic Artists!

Cosmo, genderfluid any pronouns, bisexual,

Nautilus, maybe Transfemme?? Pan she/her

[asterouslyaesthetic]

princess caeldori with asugi as her retainer in CQ now has a chokehold on me.

the cordelia/gaius support where she makes him clean up is just her being disappointed in the man who was basically the closest thing she had to an older brother.

[anshiel]

me reading the new cucumber quest update: @ whoever peridots *ahem* ‘parents’ were before Cordelia, i will MESS YOU UP

[dafukdidiwatch]

CQ 10 End

Well that was fun. We get to see the brief break for both heroes and villains. (or at least heroes).

Cosmo is a straight up assassin. There is no way in hell he wasn’t if he stuck the BOMB under the food cart he brought in the first place.

Saturday is still cool but still gets foiled by children.

I now know how to pronounce Peridot’s name. Will probably still mentally say Peri-dot tho out of habit.

The dad is just now a freeloader.

Cordelia has to be a fox from space.

And Nightmare Knight...is sort of cool? Like, he’s been doing this shit over 5000 years. No wonder he couldn’t care less of the people he incounters or what they want. If it is a cycle, then there really is no point in any of it. He just seems...chill. Chill and yet lonely. Maybe he can be someone Cucumber can talk to to figure a way out. Because we still don’t know exactly what he wants, do we?

[rampancys-archive]

Hey, I’m back. Sort of. I’m still feeling weirdbad so I might not be very active for a while.

(Also, I changed my icon to Cordelia from cq because I reread it while I was gone and she’s a fave. If you see a woman with kitty ears in your notes, that’s me.)

[botanistking]

whats cucumber quest about? it looks interesting

BOYY YOURE IN FOR A RIDE. okay so its about this kid called cucumber who is The Chosen One™ to save the world from the nightmare knight, who is about to be resurrected by queen cordelia. i know it sounds very Typical but a) the art is gorgeous and the color palette is a blessing??, b) good honest jokes and a good amount of puns, c) lgbt characters. i beg you to give it a try cause im awful at explaining (you can read cucumber quest here: http://cucumber.gigidigi.com/cq/page-1/ )
