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!

8, 15, and 18 for the ask game if you want! :D

8. What are some aro headcanons you have?

Lukas and Python from Fire Emblem Echoes most definitely. Python even practically outright said it in the support conversation between them, which was insane. I am rotating them in my mind 💚

Other than those two, I don't really think about aro headcanons that much? I think Alhaitham from Genshin Impact definitely is, along with being ace and aplatonic, but I also don't like his personality so I don't think about him often lol. I once saw a headcanon about Argenti from Honkai Star Rail being aro, and I think it suits him so much actually.

If we're just hitting characters with the aro beam, then I don't know who needs to hear this, but the entire cast of Metaphor: ReFantazio is aro now, you're welcome. I would go for Jaehee from Mystic Messenger too, but my fellow sapphics are already struggling in that game 😔

15. What's your ideal friendship?

One where I don't have to mask and where we share interests! Which is pretty much all of my friendships because I tire of social interactions very quickly otherwise.

18. What are some positive experiences you have had from being aro-spec?

Just finding a community of others like me and better understanding myself, honestly. There are so many things that made more sense in hindsight after I realized that I was aro, and it's so nice to not be making up new "crushes" because I expected myself to have them.

Faye Stats Meta 01 - Bases & Growths

Going to start a series of metas on Faye (and probably my other muses, honestly) to go over their gameplay aspects and how they contribute to how I would like to portray/view them here! Honestly I find this very interesting for Faye especially, considering her position as a very malleable unit thanks to SoV’s Villager system. However, this post will focus much more on the numbers involved in her stats rather than the classes, which I plan to do next.

It is true that FE2/15 is a game with infamously lower growth rates compared to other Fire Emblems, but even if the numbers can sometimes mesh together, I believe they are still capable of telling a story about the characters. This is doubly true for Faye, one of the totally original units when it comes to SoV.

I will start with providing the images of her base stats and growth rates (posted successively), and then break down each stat one by one. Credit to Serenes Forest for the provided images!

STARTING LEVEL: 1

Yes, I believe this is a crucial piece for Faye characterization! Faye is the only villager to start from scratch at Level 1. Gray begins at 5, Tobin at 3 (both already able to promote without any training needed), Kliff at 2, and even Atlas gets to be 10. She needs the most EXP-feeding out of anyone to even get a start in the Deliverance.

HP: 19 BASE & 40% GROWTH

Faye begins with the 2nd-lowest HP stat, with the lowest being both Silque and Genny at 18. Her 40% growth is also rather below-average, with the pre-promoted units, Est, and Kliff, and Clair being the only ones lower. More people tie with 40% still, so there isn’t much to truly say here other than she starts off more frail than the others and can struggle to catch up through normal means.

ATK: 8 BASE & 40% GROWTH

Faye is actually the 2nd strongest Ram Villager, as Gray has 9 ATK and both Tobin and Kliff tie at 7. It is still a below-average base stat when compared to others in the game, but it fits her early-game recruitment period. In fact, Faye and Gray share their ATK growth as well, while Tobin and Kliff share a 30% growth. I wouldn’t immediately point to this as Faye being capable of getting physically strong, but I believe this generally suits her burning motivation to go on this warpath for her friends.

SKL: 1 BASE & 30% GROWTH

You can’t get any lower than this for a base, shown with how only Kliff shares 1 SKL with Faye. Even with the relatively low base SKL of the other villagers, this definitely paints Faye as the least-experienced of the four, even with Mycen’s training. Her SKL growth is also rather low, being the 3rd-lowest in the game due to Python & Nomah tying at 25% and Mycen at 10%. With a lack of an actual battle background outside of her training, it’s easy to see why she would struggle in the SKL department.

SPD: 2 BASE & 30% GROWTH

Faye is once again at the bottom in this stat, only tying with Valbar and fellow villager Kliff. I imagine her footing while fighting (especially early on) to be very unstable and she lacks the ability to easily follow up, even in a game where the required speed to double is as low as 1. Her 30% growth this time around is actually more on the average end, as most SPD growths turn out to be lower than the best ATK or SKL ones. Still, she is unlikely to become as nimble as the Deliverance soldiers or even Kliff, who has an impressive 60% growth!

LCK: 6 BASE & 30% GROWTH

A base that isn’t below-average! Out of the four villagers, only Kliff beats Faye in LCK with a base of 10. Out of all of the growths as well, LCK appears to be on the lower-end, meaning 30% is not the worst to have in this situation either.

In my head, there’s 2 main ways to take the LCK stat: as pure, actual luck or as a link to the gods. I do not headcanon Faye to be particularly religious, but nor would I truly consider her a “lucky” person. All in all, I’d lean more on the idea that Faye can be fortunate at times and wouldn’t overthink this stat.

DEF: 3 BASE & 40% GROWTH

More low stats, though there are a couple of 2s and 1s throughout the cast belonging to squishier mages or clerics. Delthea and Tatiana share the 3 DEF, which I think suits a girl like Faye who has more experience training in offense rather than training in defense. Her 40% growth here actually…looks to be a bit above-average? I actually quite like this, as Faye strikes me as a resistant person who would refuse to back down until absolutely necessary.

RES: 6 BASE & 3% GROWTH

RES is a fickle stat in SoV, with everyone in the base game having either single-digit RES growths or a straight-up 0% growth. Faye's is above-average for the starting party, with only Kliff (once again) beating her with a base of 8 RES. RES is obviously linked heavily to magic, but back at home I don't really think Faye had much exposure to such. 3% is still one of the higher growths in Alm's army, so I would probably connect this to her defensive ability and refusal to give up easily.

ITEM: ORANGE

Girl gets to bring a little snack on her roadtrip! But in all seriousness, I see this as Faye mainly bringing along a reminder of her home, a place that she holds very dearly. ...something to eat on the way helps too.

TOL./FATIGUE TOLERANCE: 0.4

For those unfamiliar, TOL is the stat used to determine how quickly units get tired during dungeon battling (it shows up for normal battles as well, but has no direct gameplay impact). As for Faye, 0.4 is the lowest the stat can be, and without a way to grow or change it, she remains as one of the only units that will tire easily during dungeon-crawling. At least Kliff shares this low tolerance with her as well!

SUMMARY

To be honest, with 30%s and 40%s all over her growths, I do wish more flavor was put into Faye's stat spread. Even so, I also appreciate the way this embraces the adaptability of the villager class. The way that stats work in SoV, in which the unit immediately obtains the bases of the class they promote to, makes her easy to work with even with her low start. (Do note that classes slightly change growth rates as well, but I will mainly consider that for Meta 02.)

She is also the only female villager in the game (at least when not considering Pitchfork DLC shenanigans), meaning she gets access to gender-locked classes such as Cleric, Pegasus Knight, and Priestess (from promoted Mage) that the other boys cannot reach. I believe this is what mainly leads to the high variance of portrayal of Faye's classes, as the Drama CD uses her as a Pegasus Knight while several Cipher cards have her using white magic. (For reference, Gray/Tobin/Kliff get Cipher cards that stick to their base interests stated in SoV.) And then there's the case of FEH making her a bow unit, which...I'll stick to covering in Meta 02.

Another small note: as I mentioned in the ATK section, I don't really consider Faye to have great physical strength, considering that SoV makes STR and MAG a single stat rather than the way other FEs do it. If I could, I probably would make Faye have a slightly below-average experience in STR and a slightly better chance in MAG, though this could depend on her chosen class route.

It’s Python loving hours guys

I’ve been enamored by Python for so long I even ship myself with him (that’s not important though). Something that I find frustrating is that he’s a side-character and there’s just not enough back-story around (we have the drama CDs and the accordion book but let’s be real… I am greedy and God has cursed me with insatiability.)

Playing the game and reading the accordion’s translations I’ve noticed that Python, Forsyth, and Lukas have something similar, their mothers aren’t mentioned. Did their moms die because Fire Emblem cannot create interesting characters without making them suffer traumatic parental death? (Polygon’s BDG, 2019) Or the writers intentionally left those parts blank so people like me can fill the void? I’d like to think it’s the latter. For this round, I want to focus on my favorite blue lazy archer and my different addendums to his back-story.

I want to start with I don’t think “Python” is Python’s given name. In my humble opinion, “Python” is a nickname he gave himself, only Forsyth and Lukas know his given name. The back story that I created for this is Python’s given name is either very similar to his father’s or his old man was responsible for naming him. Based on all the material available to my knowledge, Python has a very complicated relationship with his father and wants nothing to do with or deal with anything connected with his dad.

Moving on, something that’s always piqued my curiosity is Python’s mom. I’ve written up a few versions that I want to share, each a tragedy to stay true to Fire Emblem fashion. In the first version, his mom died due to starvation, freezing to death, or illness because of their living condition. Now, this version develops into two different takes so let’s name one V1.1. For V1.1, Python’s father was already an irresponsible alcoholic while his mother tried desperately to keep her family alive, her self-sacrifice compromised her health and lead to her demise. On the other hand in V1.2, the mother’s death triggers the alcoholism and change in the father’s behavior. In my opinion, this version could explain why Python would rather be responsible for only himself or why he always cautions Forsyth to be less self-sacrificing. Python’s seen it happen before and it doesn’t end well. (Yes, I am aware of the social disparity between nobility and the common folk but I WANT TO ADD things.)

Now we have the second version where Python’s mother leaves her family because she’s had enough. She can’t handle her husband’s alcoholism, she can’t handle living poor, she can’t handle taking care of her son, and in a selfish act, leaves her family (if you want to add more drama, she ran away with another man). This version could be one of the driving factors for Python’s cynicism (aside from the class struggle). Nobles screw with the poor, his father is a dead-beat (and probably abusive) alcoholic, and his mother abandoned him, Python’s seen just how selfish people can be, Noble or not.

TL;DR

•    “Python” is a nickname, only Lukas and Forsyth know his given name because of daddy-issues

•    Python’s mother, a tragedy with a few versions

   She died because her dead-beat alcoholic husband couldn’t provide for them and she succumbs to overexerting herself

She died because of their poor financial situation driving her widowed husband into depression and alcoholism

 She abandoned her family because she was tired of her husband’s alcoholism, her family’s way of living, and the responsibility of taking care of her son

Headcanon time 

Echoes betrayal aus anyone? I usually love the trope of characters gradually turned dark out of desperation or disillusionment, but I challenged myself to write some that were specifically a flavor of "this was all a lie from the very beginning; I genuinely never liked any of you" because those hurt me even more lmao 

This train of thought stemmed from a fic from that horror zine about Duma Faithful! Lukas who was a traitor from the start. I believe it was called Smoke and Mirrors? But I'll double check if anyone wants it 

Clive -- There was only one witness to pass on the tale of Desaix's murder of the King. Of course Mathilda believed her lover, and Clair believed her brother. No one could have guessed that Clive was the one to actually do the deed, or that he and Desaix had been in on it from the start. They both could gain power from Rigel, and what better way to eliminate any opposition by posing to be their own enemy? Clive was terrified that the famed Sir Mycen could rally a force to stop them, so he'd hoped to get him close enough to kill him early on. Realizing that the villagers were a force to be reckoned with all on their own, he had to bide his time for the chance to take them all out at once. 

Mathilda -- ^^ It was actually Mathilda who killed Lima and set up the plot to fake a resistance with her husband. She had wanted to keep climbing the ranks: nobility, the general's wife, the Zofian queen, and as opportunities opened up, the Rigelian empress as well. She was never actually kidnapped by the enemy, but she had to meet with them to discuss the Deliverance’s intel/planning somehow. Extra angst if she's only using Clive for her goals, and all his love has been unrequited from the start…

Silque -- She was raised at a priority as a healer, but lost her faith in the goddess early on as she witnessed so much suffering and famine. She found Duma, and vowed to use whatever schemes necessary to help his victory over Mila. She was actually the leader of the group of brigands who "kidnapped" her. She set the whole thing up, which is why she was completely unharmed/unfazed after the rescue, and the bandits were so awkwardly obvious about mentioning they had a prisoner. Gradually, patients under her care seem to get worse instead of better.

Python/Forsyth -- The Deliverance realizes there's a traitor within their ranks. After a few information leaks/sabotages, Alm is stumped that everyone had an alibi at one point or another. The suspense grows to a final attack that makes less and less sense until that gut-wrenching moment everything clicks into place: there's two of them. They would just laugh that every single one of them fell for the stupidly cheesy poor-village-boy-dreaming-to-be-a-knight story. The pair were poor, and Duma promised them status and glory if they could infiltrate the Deliverance and bring them down.

Conrad -- He's not necessarily sided with Rigel, since he knows everything they've done, but he knows Celica is his enemy. She left him in that fire and promptly forgot about him. He needs to gain the throne to Zofia, to fix his father's mistakes and have the whole kingdom to himself. Celica is so focused on anything and everything else that she's willing to run to Rigel and abandon her people. "But I would never leave them. I would never go marching across Rigel chasing Mila, chasing some boy from childhood, chasing anything. I would make a much better ruler than father, or she ever could be." It would be awfully convenient if some accident happened to befall her before she could return to Zofia... 

Genny -- Her shy behavior is just a front for the anger that's slowly bubbling up within her. Still dealing with her mother's abandonment, Mila’s disappearance makes her lose complete faith in the Mother. Duma finds a way to reach her, though, providing the illusion of love and reliability. She's still meek around people, but one doesn't need a big personality to slowly sabotage her healing/caretaking of the group.

I see you know Fire emblem Echoes, and we need some more love for the boys on there.

Can we have some Sfw and Nsfw head cannons about Python and Luthier? There is barely anything on them, and it's such a tragedy

Yes PLEASE, Python and Luthier are a couple of my absolute faves of the many Very Good Boys in that game, and they never get enough love~

Python, Luthier (FE: Echoes) - Headcanons

SFW (nsfw below the cut)

Python:

- It's easy to feel overwhelmed as a new recruit in the Deliverance, surrounded by career-fighters and nobles- but Python immediately strikes you as someone you could actually relate to. He doesn't go out of his way to chat, of course- and you've been told he can be a bit brusk, but... you can't help feeling like he's been sneaking the occasional glance in your direction.

- You find that when you approach him first, he's actually very receptive to spending time together, provided you don't need anything extremely strenuous from him. Though with time, others start to notice that he's surprisingly willing to go out of his way for you. He's no fool though, and he'll pretty quickly realize that he's falling for you. He's not much one for elaborate displays of affection or grandiose gestures, but one day while you're relaxing together he suddenly slings an arm around your shoulders, pulls you to him, and kisses you briefly on the lips. "So, uh... I'm pretty into you, you know."

- Python is actually more attentive than you might think as a partner, but always in more understated ways. He's not going to openly dote on you or make a big show of his affections, but you'll know that he's thinking of you; he always remembers to grab your favorite pastry while he's in town, check out your equipment before training, and come find you immediately after every battle.

- He's not a big PDA kind of guy, and actually blushes something fierce when you compliment or sweet-talk him, so you might not expect this- but Python actually does brag about you a good deal to his friends and comrades. It's pretty innocuous stuff overall- an impressive move you pulled off in training, how good dinner always is when it's your turn to help cook, etc. But those like Forsyth who have known him for a while notice the warm and tender smile he wears when he talks about you, and this completely new side of Python is whispered about in awe throughout camp.

Luthier:

- Oh this poor, poor man. So clueless. The most reliable way to get to spend time with him is to ask him to help you study up on magic a bit- and he's more than happy to help. But no matter how obvious and forward you try to be, he is utterly and completely oblivious to your growing feelings for him.

- Even telling him flat-out that you like him, while it will cause him to turn bright red, will only result in him saying, "Well- I suppose, that, er, we are friends afterall... right?" The poor man even practically chokes on the word "friends." Frankly, you're better off just cutting straight to the point in a way that not even Luthier could misinterpret. And by that I mean, just grab him and kiss him already, before Delthea runs out of patience with all of this and berates him for being so dense. Speaking of whom, Delthea is absolutely thrilled to see her "weirdo" brother finally getting some dating experience, and for him to have someone to bother other than her. Deep down, though, she is genuinely happy for him.

- Just about anyone with eyeballs realizes that Luthier has it bad for you pretty quickly. He's so oblivious to matters of the heart that he's completely incapable of concealing his feelings. He stares quite a bit, for instance. The moment he lets his eyes drift up from whatever dense magic text he's been studying to instead land on you, he's transfixed. His gaze turns warm and yearning as he watches how your eyelashes flutter as you read, or some other minute detail that, for some reason, is just so utterly charming and fascinating when it's you.

- Luthier is as awkward and bumbling about a romantic relationship as you'd imagine someone with so little social experience to be, but damn if he's not going to do absolutely any and everything to be the best to you that he can be. He's intensely dedicated to your safety and happiness, and anything within his power to give will be yours immediately and without question- to the point that the harder thing to do is telling him he's fine and he doesn't need to go to such lengths. After spending so long virtually alone, he's not capable of taking you for granted.

NSFW 18+ v

Python:

- His instinct is to start pretty vanilla- not boring, by any means, but not very deep into any particular kinks. He knows what he's doing in bed to be certain, varying his pacing, matching your rhythm and getting very invested in foreplay. But if there's a kink you're into or that you'd like to try out, you'll have to be the one to bring it up. That said, he's willing to try just about anything once, and doesn't require much persuading for anything but the most outlandish kinks. Frankly, he finds it pretty sexy when you tell him exactly what you want.

- Python adores when you go down on him- it's practically a fixation of his. Nothing turns him on more than getting to watch you earnestly sucking his cock, moaning around him and perhaps even touching yourself a bit as you service him. He's not extremely vocal in bed, but watching you suck him off will having him thrusting back into your mouth, petting your hair and groaning aloud, all the while commenting, "Ungh, babe, you look so damn good with your pretty mouth around my cock..."

- Listen. Bow knights have got to have immense muscular control. Keeping yourself steady enough to aim from horseback is no easy feat, and results in some impressive glute and thigh definition, and more importantly for your purposes, wonderful hip and core control. Python's technique when he gets to fuck you nice and deep and steady is positively unmatched. He won't neglect foreplay or other, more subtle sensations- but even just the way he angles and thrusts into you might be enough to get you to cum around him.

- Python very much appreciates morning sex. Waking up next to you is so comforting and soothing, and he's never in any hurry to let you out of his arms and deal with another day of marching and fighting and who knows what else. What starts as a bit of cuddling and a few fleeting kisses as you both slowly wake can easily turn into deeper, impassioned kisses down your neck and chest until you can barely whimper out, "We- we shouldn't- the others will expect us..." to which he simply replies, "They can wait," as his hands slide under your clothes and his hips grind between your thighs.

Luthier:

- The raw materials here are high-quality, but Luthier has no idea how to use them. He's clearly beautiful, and his hands are gentle and skillful from his practice of magic, but he's sorely lacking in experience, and he knows it. Fortunately, Luthier is nothing if not an eager and dedicated student. If you can help him get out of his own head and stop worrying about whether he's doing well and pleasing you, he can be a very fast learner. In fact, once he feels comfortable enough with the idea, he can become nearly obsessive about learning your pleasure.

- Over time, being told what to do may even become a sort of kink for him. It's not a full-on submission kink (honestly perhaps closer to a voice and/or praise kink), but the feedback of when he's making you feel good, when you want more, when you're about to cum- it drives him absolutely mad with lust. Your approval is always absolutely addictive to him- feeling your nails through his hair tugging him closer as he services you with his tongue gets his pulse pounding and his cock achingly hard for you- but it's always better when he can hear you moan for him, gasp out his name, and beg him not to stop.

- His neck and ears are extremely sensitive, and practically his Achilles heel. Even if he's fully engrossed in his studies, you can easily break his focus and coax him into bed by combing his hair behind his ear and brushing a feather-light kiss to his neck. His face immediately flushes red, and he stammers out, "My love, I- I am quite occupied at the mo-" but even just one more kiss at his earlobe and his words melt into a helpless whine. Honestly, this is just about the most reliable way to get him to take a break from studying every now and then.

- Perhaps because of how little sexual release he's actually experienced in his life, when Luthier cums, he cums hard and a huge amount. He's actually a bit embarrassed about this at first, especially if you've tried to swallow his load only to end up with it dripping from your lips or spilled across your chest. When he cums inside of you, you can always feel when he's at his limit; his cock swells noticeably and his thrusts become harsh and erratic, and sometimes, his entire body shivers as he moans out your name with desperation in his voice.

- I don't have much to elaborate on with this just yet, but. Magical pleasure experiments. That's all. Just consider.

[good-beans]

Crack headcanon time adfsgdj So this has been bouncing around in my brain for like a month now and I just hope it holds up with canon lore:

~ Python was one of the gods ~

Specifically, he’s a divine dragon who gave up his true form

The main thing that inspired this was me laughing at his speaking patterns, since he uses idioms referring to trains, slang invented in the 1900s, and other ahead-of-his-time sayings. But if I were to take this seriously, that could be a sign of otherworldly or omnipotent knowledge. 

In fe timelines, blue hair is a symbol of the royal/dragon bloodline.

His name seems even more unusual than the other fantasy-style ones around him, it seems much more like a nickname. It’s as if he gave himself a reptile themed pseudonym to hide his dragon name...

His laziness and lack of archery skills are a result of him relying on powers for a long time, then switching to no powers at all and relying on human strength for the first time in order to prevent degeneration. From the wiki: “Manaketes are even weaker than humans, making them very vulnerable when they are not transformed.”

When he was at a decent age but still looked like a young child, he gave up his powers completely and aged like a human. He moved into Forsyth’s town seemingly as a little kid, and the two grew up together. (I’m still figuring out the situation with his father)

What’s fun is that he could have lost his memory at that time and just assumes he’s human with some weird knowledge and weak limbs. But it also fits perfectly with his personality that he sees all the drama with Mila and Duma -- other dragons just like him -- and just goes “mmm not my problem” and never mentions having been a dragon before 😅

(thank you @fayesdiary for the dragon info!! not only did it help fuel this silly headcanon, but there was a lot I didn’t know about fe lore before :0)

[cherry-flavoured-thot]

Python most definitely will pretend to be asleep if it means his s/o would try and wake him up with kisses. He would pretend to be asleep as long as possible because laying in bed with them is one of his favourite things. Also because why would he want to work when his s/o is right there???

[iturbide]

Y'ever think what kind of pets the Shepherds would have? I always imagined Severa would have a long haired cat and Brady would have a pet snail, or something else he'd get unusually attached to.

You would probably be more an expert on Severa, since I’ve talked before about how I don’t personally like her much. ;v; 

As for the others, I usually imagine the kids at least starting out with family pets – and since ‘family’ can be pretty variable, since there are so many father options, I usually find it easier to just go with the first generation of Shepherds: 

Chrom grew up using hunting dogs, but I definitely think that if he had the chance, he would want a pet dog of his own – and at some point he probably adopts a retired hunting hound as a pet. 

Lissa probably doesn’t have real pets of her own, but she’s pretty fond of catching frogs, and has gotten really attached to the ones in the garden pond

Frederick has his destrier to take care of and very little time besides; however, well before he was appointed to be Chrom and Lissa’s warden, he probably had an old hound as a family pet

Robin has probably adopted a cat that they dote on (and who is decidedly a lap cat), but I also love to imagine that they helped Henry rehabilitate a raven that just.  Never left.  And who now takes care of them. 

Sully has her horse.  That monster is more than enough for anyone to handle.  Given the chance, though, I definitely think she’d go for a falcon – or at least a big dog.  She seems like the sort. 

Stahl has his own mare to take care of, and he loves her dearly.  He also probably has an odd collection of more eccentric things that he raises for their medicinal use, like butterflies and plants (they need love, too)

Vaike definitely seems like the kind of person who would have lots of dogs in all different sizes – but I can also see him having something really weird, like a fighting beetle, because it’s The Vaike. 

Miriel has a cat that people like to refer to as her familiar.  It’s very smart, she probably has it trained – but its also very good at getting her to take care of herself and take breaks (mostly by flopping out on her work).

Sumia has her dear pegasus that she takes excellent care of, but she also probably has something gentle and social that she takes care of at home, like doves. 

Kellam has a garden tortoise that that he loves dearly and takes care of, letting it roam around the garden during the warmer months and then making sure it has a nice place to hibernate through the winter. 

Donnel undoubtedly has chickens.  Lots of chickens.  He knows every single one of them by name and refers to them as “the gals” in the most loving voice imaginable. 

Ricken probably has a few rats that he got from Henry.  He wasn’t sure about it at first, but he fell in love with them really fast, and they tend to ride around on his shoulders or the brim of his hat. 

Maribelle has her troubadour mount that she takes excellent care of, and she probably has a few pedigreed cats and dogs at home that she likes to show off and fuss over. 

Gaius has a black and orange tabby tortoiseshell cat that follows him around.  She’s not a housecat, instead following him around on jobs, and easily keeps up with all his stunts.  He loves her and her name is Cookie. 

Cordelia has her pegasus to take care of, and considering all the other work she does, she doesn’t have time to handle anything else.  She would probably like an intelligent dog breed if she had the opportunity, though. 

Libra probably doesn’t have any pets officially, but he’s a kind soul, and he doubtless feeds any strays that he happens across.  Cats, dogs, and birds just congregate around whatever places he happens to be.

Lon’qu probably doesn’t think of it as a pet, but I can see him with a hawk that he uses for scouting and messaging purposes.  Whether he means to or not, he dotes on it, and it’s fiercely loyal because of it. 

Gregor is a mercenary and has spent a long time on the road, so he probably doesn’t have a pet.  He would probably have a soft spot for dogs, though, and likely feeds strays he comes across. 

Olivia would probably end up keeping the puppy that she and Henry found in their supports.  It would be a sweet, energetic thing, and might even try to dance with her (as best a puppy can). 

Virion probably kept a bunch of peacocks back in Roseanne (which Cherche probably hated because of the sound they make).  If he settles in Ylisse, he’ll probably try to have them imported. 

Cherche has Minerva.  Minerva, in her opinion, is a house pet.  No one has been able to convince her that this is probably not a good idea (and no one ever will). 

Nowi probably has a lizard (maybe even a bearded dragon).  She doesn’t know what it is, but she doesn’t care, because it just looks super cool; they sun themselves together and it’s quite charming. 

Panne doesn’t believe in having pets for a variety of reasons, and therefore takes no part in it; however, she does feel a very strong affection for rabbits, for rather obvious ones.

Tharja probably has a collection of spiders and snakes that she uses for raw hexing ingredients (scales, venom, hair, etc).  Among them, though, she probably has a favorite tarantula and a cuddly python. 

Henry just has an all-out menagerie.  The man really loves animals.  Cats, dogs, rats, rabbits, doves, crows, ravens, chickens, foxes, lizards, snakes, toads, tortoises, spiders – you name it, e probably has it.

Forsyth x Python headcanons? (Ship so hard >\\\_\\\<)

Forsython headcanons:

Thirsty Note: Forsython is like… one of my favorite ships in echoes. It isn’t graybin, but I still love it a lot. They just have such a good dynamic, and they flow together so easily even though they’re so different. It’s great and it also deserves more love.

No one was surprised when it came out that Forsyth and Python were seeing each other romantically. While the two argue more times than they talk, there was just a chemistry between the two that even a blind man could see. It was easy to see it in Forsyth’s eyes when he looked at Python, and it was easy to tell when Python’s tone wasn’t so snappy when addressing Forsyth. Needless to say, everyone in the Deliverance who made bets for their relationship were happy.

Forsyth’s worrying over Python skyrockets to almost unmanageable heights when they finally confess their feelings for each other. He’d always been worried that Python would slack too much and come to find himself stuck with a lance or taking an arrow in the abdomen, but now he scrutinizes every aspect of Python’s life and nags him endlessly about taking better care of himself. Python still is his usual self and always rolls his eyes and shakes off his endless nagging, but he does take care to be more careful on the battlefield. He’d never want to see Forsyth hurt over him, so he watches his back a little more and takes training more seriously (but not too much. He is still is Python after all).

They don’t exactly have what one would call ‘romantic’ dates, if any. Neither of them see the need, spending time together going about their daily business is enough for them. That’s not to say they never go out on a date, as every now and then Python will drag Forsyth from his duties to relax and watch the stars, or Forsyth will force Python to tag along with him on supply runs and they’ll go out to shops together.  Most of the time they find that they much rather retire to their shared tent and just spend the night in each other’s company.

They often find themselves in heated arguments over the dumbest things, but both are quick to make up for the harsh words they said. They each understand each other’s limits, the other’s quirks and they always know the best way to make it up to each other.

Their relationship is just…. Easy. They know each other so well and are so comfortable with the other that their relationship flows with few bumps in the road. They may bicker, but they bicker like an old married couple. Everything just somehow works and they’re perfectly fine with it.

They balance each other perfectly. Python is the one to keep Forsyth grounded when he flies away with his dreams and Forsyth pushes Python to apply himself more. They become better versions of themselves when the other is around, and their strength doubles when they are together. They are a powerhouse couple, even if they don’t realize it themselves.

They would follow the other anywhere in life. They journeyed to the Deliverance together, they fought together, they’ve fallen in love together and they intend to stay together until the end. Nothing, and I mean nothing, will ever part them.

They aren’t the most cuddly couple. A quick peck here and there in the eyes of the Deliverance, but most of their affection comes in the comfort of their shared tent. Even then though, they aren’t all over each other. While they do occasionally share an embrace, hold each other’s hand or even hold each other in their shared bed, they aren’t always touching the other. The affection is still there, but they find just being in the other’s presence is enough. Python does enjoy their flings in the bedroom, though Forsyth will go completely red and slap Python to shut him up if he ever brings it up.

RBG Boys Drunk HCs (*NOT CLICKBAIT*) ( PYTHON ALMOST DIES!?):

Lukas:

lmao he just gets really giggly

and really clingy and cuddly

you can see him holding onto Forsyth (who’s passed out) and petting his hair

he doesn’t make any brash decisions, and he isn’t stripping on the table dancing. he’s just... Lukas.

he’s actually pretty good at holding his alcohol!! it’ll take a lot of drinks for him to get really wasted.

Python:

people try to hide alcohol from him since he’s just so fuckin wild when drunk?? everyone goes into panic mod when he finds it.

uhhh he’s the one who is stripping on the table and dancing.

he also falls off said table and almost DIES.

he’s so loud too? and provokes fights?

gets such bad hangovers.. like a normal hangover x10. probably from ALMOST DYING but who cares.

Forsyth:

good boy falls asleep :)

he’s not necessarily a lightweight drinker, but you won’t see him with 10 bottles of beer.

he’ll probably fall asleep on someone’s shoulder (he learned that if he doesn’t do this, his face will smack right onto the table). he literally passes out. that’s literally it.

uhhh his hangovers are honestly the easiest ? probably because he’s “responsible” and drinks the least, so he only wakes up with a minor migraine.

[imaginefe]

I, J, O, V, and Y for Python please?

I = Intimacy: Python isn’t too intimate in the moment. He may give you some kisses here and there but they are more lustful than romantic.

J = Jack Off: He gets the urge to masturbate pretty often, but he usually doesn’t bother to act on it. He would rather wait until he can do something with you instead.

When he does masturbate, his pace is expectedly slow and lazy. He also likes to edge himself so he prefers masturbating at night or when he knows he’ll have a long time to do it.

O = Oral: Python is great at giving oral. He actually enjoys doing it too and it’s one of the few things he’ll do without complaint. If you ask him for it though, he’ll give a smirk and tease you about it, even though he’s the depraved one who can’t wait to get a taste of you.

He loves receiving oral. He’ll tangle a hand in your hair and pet your head while you suck him off, urging you to continue the task at hand with praises and filthy words.

V = Volume: He’s not too loud. His noises come in drawn out groans, which he’ll muffle by kissing your lips.

Y = Yearning: Pretty high sex drive, but due to his lazy nature, he won’t come to you for sex half the time. He’s basically always in the mood, you just have to give him a sultry look or leave lingering touches on his body and he’ll get the message instantly.

Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia Drabble

Featuring: shy aromantic reader, aromantic Python, modern AU

 The smooth threads of a braided bracelet rub against your skin. A tiny white heart was sewn into the strands. You’ve been fiddling with the green, black, and silver threads adorning your wrist since you left the house this morning. 

Thus far no one seemed to notice your identity on display. Not surprising; it was only an accessory, and few people knew what aromanticism was or its color scheme. Yet your pulse spiked each time someone glanced at it. It had taken months to gather the courage to wear it, and worry still pounded at the back of your mind. 

Were you ostracizing yourself by doing this? Would your identity be accepted? And even if it was, would anyone who recognized the aromantic colors accept you as a person too?

You knew you were overthinking it. It was just a bracelet. But it represented a part of you that you were desperate to embrace, and that was why you hadn’t taken it off yet. 

Walking into a grocery store, you keep your gaze glued to the floor and navigate through the familiar area. Once you reached the cereal isle, your gaze raised to scan over the colorful boxes. Someone with dark blue hair walked up beside you to glance over the items as well. 

Ah, there were the Cocoa Puffs. As an essential part of your morning routine, it had been devastating to discover the box at home was nearly empty, and it was only halfway through the week.

You reached up to grab it, and it wasn’t until your fingers bumped against someone else’s that you realized the other person had moved as well.

Flustered, you curl your fingers in but somehow your brain forgets that you should pull back your hand too.

...the man didn’t pull back his hand either.

In fact, he was scrutinizing your hand with a considering look. 

Oh God. Should you grab the cereal and go? Wait until he does something? Forget it and run off? 

As more and more questions rattled around in your head, you come to the abrupt realization that this isn’t unlike a typical scene in a romance movie--the one where two people, dictated to be each other’s love interests, accidentally brush hands and then look at each other as if they realized they had a romantic connection.

But your heart is pounding out of nervousness, not interest, and you pray he doesn’t think anything more of the accidental contact. Turning people down was always an awkward affair.

When his hand returned to his side and he turned his head to look at you, you hastily put your arm down as well, stared at the scuffed floor, and prepared apologies.

“Hey, is that an aromantic bracelet?“

Your head snapped up. Honestly, you had forgotten about it for a split second. 

The corner of his mouth ticked upward, and you can tell he already knew the answer. 

Then he curled his hand into a loose fist and held it out. “I’m aromantic too. I haven’t met many others, so it’s always cool to find another one.”

Surprise flared in your chest, and growing delight soon replaced it. You hadn’t expected this today, not at all. It felt surreal. 

His fist waited patiently. You raised your fist, lightly bumped it against his, and a smile stretched across your face.

“It is. Cool, I mean. I haven’t met another arom...aromantic in person.” You stumbled over the word, but he didn’t seem to mind. 

“The name’s Python. I hope I see you around.“ He pulled out his phone, glanced at the screen, and winced. “Sorry, but I gotta run. Forsyth’s chewin’ me out for taking so long.”

You only have time to nod and hastily wave goodbye as he grabbed a box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch and walked out of the aisle. You watched him go, and, once he was out of your sight, you realized your cheeks ached from how hard you were smiling.

Running a finger over your bracelet, you decided you’d wear it again tomorrow.

Afterward, you left the cereal section without what you went there for, and only after you reached the produce area did you notice. You hurried back, grabbed a box of Cocoa Puffs, and didn’t flinch at all when you noticed a teenager glancing at your wrist as you used the self-checkout.

We need warm soft fluffy things… I’ve been writing so much angst and that Critical Hit request really really hit me in the feels (I’m weak… I cried while writing them okay?) My birthday’s passed (It was last month) and this for all my readers who have or will celebrate their birthday soon. (Also myself for self-indulgence)

RGB celebrating their S/O’s birthday

Python

·       He straight up pretends he forgot or will give a simple “Happy Birthday” greeting with a little kiss

·       He’s actually preparing a surprise for you later on in the day

·       He’s made a mental list of all the things you’ve pointed out and mentioned you wanted in the past. With his little savings, he’s bought a few of them, the ones he could afford at least

·       Python’s not gonna risk ruining your cake because he made it himself, he’ll opt to get one from a baker. Nothing too fancy but nice enough to show his most favourite person he cares

·       If you get a bit irritated with him because of his lacklustre greeting, that’s all part of his plan. Gives him ample time and space to get everything ready

·       Python’s preparing a little private celebration for two (definitely not in his quarters or your own. So you don’t prematurely find the surprise) a few gifts from Python, some food, and small cake

·       He’ll find you and blindfold you so he can take you to the surprise

·       “Blindfolds? Really? If you’re trying to block out the angry look I’m giving you…” “I know I messed up sunshine… lemme make it up to you m’kay?” He cut you off and you gave him an irritated nod, if he’s trying to apologize might as well let him right?

You feel him lead you to a room. “ Aight, you can take off the blindfold…” was that nervousness in his voice? But you weren’t going to let him off easy. “Py before I started dating you I knew you were a simple guy. Not one to do anything extravagant or fancy but I was hoping maybe my birthday was an exemption? Nothing grand, maybe a small gift or a cake..” you pulled the blindfold off your face and was greeted by Python’s “little”surprise

The room was candlelit, a table at the center decorated with simple yet elegant cloth. There were a few gifts on the table and  food you loved.  Touched, you covered your mouth in awe then you laid your eyes on your cake. It was simple and small, partially covered with cream and topped with in-season fruit. Python hugged you from behind and kissed your temple. “I… had to act like a bit of a jerk to get this all ready for you.” He gave you a light squeeze “Sorry if I made you feel unimportant… you’re… the best person who’s ever come into my life. Always remember that.” He felt you shift in his arms, then you turned to face him. The smile and tears of joy on your face turned his insides into goo. You cupped his face “Oh Python… This is… all this. I would’ve been happy with just the cake but this is above and beyond! You’ve set the bar too high for yourself…” he knew you were trying to add some humour to the situation but he was feeling too sentimental. He planted a deep loving kiss on your lips. “I’ll do it every year to celebrate your birthday sunshine…” he whispered against your lips.

Lukas

·       While he doesn’t mind planning a surprise for you, making your birthday a covert operation isn’t really his style. He’ll mention he has something planned but won’t go into specifics as to what he intends to do

·       You’ll realize that as you go through your day most of your chores are finished or you’ll notice Lukas’ token care packages hanging around. Attached to those care packages are notes “I thought I’d ease your burden, considering its your name day” “Can’t have the celebrant hungry/thirsty, treat yourself my love.” “I cannot believe I’m saying but I’m actually excited to celebrate with you later tonight.” “Today is truly a special day. For it is the day the person who gave me warmth and happiness was born.”

·       He might not look it but Lukas gets very romantic and mushy with you. Just like Python he has trouble expressing it. Although Python is more on at a loss on how to express his affection, Lukas is overwhelmed with the emotions and ideas on how he can show you he cares deeply about you

·       It takes him some time to sort out his feelings and be organized with how he wants to express his feelings

·       Lukas had planned a intimate dinner with you to celebrate your birthday, all the food he had cooked himself. He anxiously sat himself at the table waiting for your arrival. Lukas thought you were taking longer than expected, had he not done enough of your chores for the day to free up your schedule?

The sound of someone knocking on the door snapped him out of his reverie, “Lukas! Sorry I’m late, I picked up something to add to our celebration.” he perked up as heard you let yourself in. “No need to apologize…” he positioned himself to the side of the dinner table.

As you entered you noticed the spread on the table, quite the feast for just a party of two. You couldn’t help but pull Lukas into an embrace “I hope you’re alright with this, I know how you are with touchy-feely things…” you felt his body relax into your arms, slowly Lukas returned the warm gesture. Nestling his head into the crook of your neck “As long as its from you… To be honest, I’d want nothing more that for you to hold me. But shouldn’t I be the one showering you with gifts and attention? It is your name day.” You gave him a quick peck on the temple “The celebrant must also give party favours to their guests.”

Lukas lead you to the table and pulled you a seat. You couldn’t help but hungrily eye the dishes he had prepared for you though the more you looked at the food the more you realized a certain theme to them. You pointed towards one of the dishes “Isn’t that… That’s the first recipe we tried together!” A small smile crept onto Lukas’ lips “Yes, before we started dating.” You then focused your attention on another dish loaded with a fond memory “Oh! This is the one from our first date!” He nodded then pointed his hand towards another plate of food “You taught me how to make this one.” You propped your elbows on the table and rested your head onto your hands, recalling that memory. You had mentioned it was your favourite dish so Lukas wanted to learn it.

One particular dish caught your eye, it was unfamiliar, no treasured memory attached to it. “And this one?” You pointed towards it. “That’s a new dish for a new memory my love.” He pressed a soft kiss into your hair. “A traditional dish, cuisine from a faraway land. Specially made on name days. The lore behind it says that a celebrant who eats it will be granted a long and happy life.”

You hugged your lover, burying your face into his side. “Oh Lukas… As long as you’re with me I’m sure I’ll have a long and happy life.”

Forsyth

·       Forsyth has way too many ideas on how to celebrate your birthday. His idea board is just… messy. Lukas and Python have to step in and help organize things

·       He follows Lukas’ suggestion of a home-cooked dinner celebration but Python knows all too well that his best friend’s areas of expertise are being Clive’s #1 fan and the battlefield

·       His friends offer their help but Forsyth refuse, this is something he feels like he should do alone or else it would diminish the sentiment and intimacy of the gesture. So Lukas writes a detailed recipe on how to bake a cake

·       He’s too excited to keep the surprise a secret. Forsyth’s pretty much blurted it out to you (Much to the other two’s dismay) but his excitement is a gift in-it-self

·       Forsyth showers you every day with attention and compliments so he thinks its time he does something for you. Or in this case, make something for you

·       He hastily finishes all his chores for the day so he can head into town to buy any other ingredients he might need. Once he’s done with that, he starts working on your birthday cake

·       Ever since Lukas gave him the recipe and instructions, Forsyth had diligently read and re-read it back to back. Memorizing and fully understanding every instruction and detail. In his mind as long as he followed the instructions to the letter, he could not fail despite being… not so adept in the kitchen.

Forsyth shook the doubt out of his mind and began preparing the ingredients. Measuring and sifting the dry ingredients, and readying the wet ingredients. He then proceeded to mix everything in a bowl until well incorporated. After that he poured it into a buttered cake pan and into the oven it went. Now it was time for him to prepare the cream to top the cake, he vigorously whipped the cream. Bobbing the whisk up and down to check the consistency, it should be just shy of “stiff peaks”, as per Lukas’ instructions. He moved on to preparing the berries for decoration, that was done quickly. Far too quickly, now he had to wait for the cake to finish baking, torture in other words.

He pulled a chair and seated himself in front of the oven door, anxiously eyeing the metal door knowing the fruits of love and labour were on the other side. Forsyth was tempted to open, just for a quick peek, just to make sure it wasn’t burning inside. Lukas’ instructions said not to open the over door as it would mess up the heat and the cake might not bake evenly. Forsyth twiddled his fingers nervously, what if the oven was too hot? What if the batter had overflowed? Perhaps it baked faster than anticipated? The thoughts were killing him, he tentatively reached out to open the door. “AH-AHEM.” He stopped abruptly, his eyes darted to the door of the kitchen.

Lukas stood at the door way with Python right behind him. “Told ya he’d get all fidgety and try to open the darn thing…” the archer shrugged. “I DIDN’T MEAN TO DEVIATE FROM THE INSTRUCTIONS LUKAS! I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THE CAKE WAS BAKING PROPERLY!” Lukas motioned a calming gesture “Its alright Forsyth, we were simply checking up on you. It looks like you have a good handle on things so we’ll leave you to it.” And with that his friends left.

The specified time had passed and Forsyth pulled the finished cake out of the oven, his whole being tingling with excitement. This might be the first successful dish he’s created and his personal victory would be all sweeter since it was an effort for you, his most beloved.  He looked at the cake, it looked dense. It wasn’t fluffy or spongy as the instructions described. His excitement turned to panic and he promptly called his friends to assess what had happened.

“GAHAHAHAHAHAH! Leave it to you to over mix the batter eh ol’ green bean!” Python hugged his sides, hysterical with laughter. All the colour had drained from Forsyth’s complexion, the day was coming to a close, you’d be home from duties and yet there was no cake to celebrate with. Lukas covered Python’s head with an empty bowl to silence the man. “Seems like you’re pressed for time Forsyth, let me help and I’ll leave decorating the cake to you. Would that be alright?” Lukas knew how much this meant to his comrade. It wasn’t how he planned but at this point if he didn’t get help from Lukas there would be no cake and Forsyth would feel responsible for ruining your birthday. He begrudgingly accepted Lukas’ help, pouting like a sad puppy in the corner. Once the batter was in the oven, Lukas and Python once again made their exit while wishing Forsyth good luck.

This time the cake came out fluffy. PERFECT. Now all that was left was to decorate and Forsyth got to that straight away. It was growing dark and you’d be there soon, he quickened his pace.

“Oh~ I can’t wait to taste the cake my boyfriend made just foooor me~” he heard your approach, he’d only covered one side with cream, he hadn’t even topped it yet with any berries! You peaked your head into the kitchen and behold the sight of your boyfriend frantically icing a half-naked cake. For some reason that made you feel all fuzzy inside, how worked up and passionate he was trying to make your birthday special.

Should you call his attention? You opted to. In a gentle voice you asked him “Hey Fors, whatcha doooing?” Making it sound as soft and cutesy as you could make it. He looked up to you on the brink of tears, then looked back to the cake. “Oh…” was all he could say, he looked defeated. You entered the kitchen and gave him a tight hug “Look at you my personal baker! You did amazing!” You felt him slump into your arms, eyes looking down on to the floor. A frustrated sigh escaped his lips as he rested his forehead onto yours. “I just… wanted to make you special day even more special… I can’t seem to do that though. Forgive me.” You shook your head, rubbing it gently against his. Giving him a quick peck on the nose as you cupped his face and looked him sincerely in the eyes “Oh Forsyth, any day I spend with you is extra extra special! You go out of your way every day to make me happy and you do just that plus so much more. Don’t beat yourself over it.” He took your hand and pressed a tender kiss into your palm. “I promise to apply myself and become a better cook… I want to do these kinds of things for you.” You pinched his cheeks “I know you will. You’re a dedicated soldier so I’m sure you’ll be a dedicated student to the culinary arts. I want to try the cake~!”

You took a bite-sized slice of the cake, it was still warm from the oven, hence the cream sliding off it but it was light, fluffy, and delicious. It was the thought and effort that was the best gift you got from Forsyth.
