Jack Champion x gamer gf! reader

J. Champion with a gamer gf headcanons

a gym rat and gamer girl in love.

A/N: incredibly short and silly, because this was just on my mind.

◇ even before he had asked you if he could be your boyfriend, he knew about your gaming addiction— obsession.

◇ no matter where he saw you, your eyes were always set on a screen.

◇ whether that be on your PlayStation, computer or even the Nintendo Switch.

◇ he knew you liked gaming, but when you started dating, he truly got to meet gamer you.

◇ you stayed at his house often, it was almost your second home.

◇ the main reason being: the two of you were glued together.

◇ it doesn't matter what either of you were doing, as long as you did it together.

◇ moments when you sat somewhere with your phone being opened on Genshin, waiting at the gym while he was training.

◇ this also meant your stuff being in his bedroom.

◇ your Nintendo Switch for example.

◇ whenever the two of you were free from any work and college, you would be lying down on the bed, resting your head into his lap.

◇ you would be playing any form of tactical strategic game as he ran his fingers through your hair.

◇ he would watch the way your nose scrunched up as you glared at the screen to figure out how to ambush the enemy without getting your team killed.

◇ the movie he had put on the television long forgotten as he watched you in admiration.

◇ he would give commentary as he watched you, asking you things that he saw as he was genuinely interested in the stuff you like.

◇ "babe? What does that icon mean?"

◇ "do you get to dress up your main character?"

◇ "is there a reason why you put the arrow users behind the sword users?"

◇ he knows he might sound dumb, but he was genuinely wondering.

◇ you looked like you knew what you were doing, as if you put all of your energy into it.

◇ it was cute.

"Are you sure I can try? I mean I don't want to ruin your rounds-"

"Jack, babe, it's fine! I will help you." You were playing 'fire emblem three houses' on Jack's lap, but you couldn't help but feel a gaze burning into your skin. You had looked to the side, watching how he watched you with interest. You knew that look, he was curious, eager to try.

So you told him he could.

You were still in his lap, the Switch in his hands as yours were on top of his to guide him.

"What I always do is keep the bow user behind with the healer, before that I usually put mages, then axes and polearms and swords. I usually put cavalry on their own as they're pretty strong. Sometimes I leave them with healers, as they also have another weapon to use so that the cavalry isn't all alone."

He had no idea what you were saying and it was noticeable in the way he was playing.

Attacking a cavalry with a bow user, but he was getting there.

You couldn't tell him off, though. The way he was fully concentrating in the game with his chin resting against the top of your head.

◇ when the two of you were at your home, he would sit you on his lap as he watched you game.

◇ one of his arms wrapped around your waist to keep you in place, his other hand occupied by his phone.

◇ his phone was long forgotten though, as he watched you carry in your valorant match.

◇ you play without a headset when Jack is around so that he doesn't feel closed off or ignored.

◇ this is how he hears the toxicity of Valorant though.

◇ genuinely gets angry when you get insulted.

"Bro, why you assuming aimbot? Not my fault I can actually aim." You groaned into the mic as your fingers aggressively tapped on the WASD keys. You got into yet another toxic match and it was pissing you off.

"Make me a fucking sandwich, fucking bitch."

Now that made Jack furious. The grip on your waist got tighter as he cussed the other player out into the mic. He wouldn't let anyone get off the hook so easily, not when they degraded his girl.

"Who do you think you are, fucker? Treating women like trash? You're so fucking pathetic." His voice was hoarse as he spoke, venom laced into his words.

◇ worries when you play any game that involves communication via the mic after hearing what words are exchanged.

◇ call of duty, apex, valorant.

◇ any shooter games.

◇ he just worries that the words will get to you, but seeing how much you enjoy the game, as well as the way you knew how to reply to such comments he just knew you would be okay.

◇ that wouldn't stop him from being the overprotective boyfriend, though.

◇ eventually, Jack actually wanted to spend his time gaming with you as well.

◇ you were over the moon when he had told you that.

◇ your gym addicted boyfriend? Wanting to learn about the game world?

◇ you knew you had to start easy.

◇ something cute, interactive but romantic.

◇ minecraft.

◇ he knew about minecraft. He had played it a couple times with friends, but that was years ago.

◇ he had bought the game on his phone and you helped him with his own avatar!

◇ fun fact: the name of your shared world is actually your shipname.

◇ he hits all the flowers he can find for you.

◇ his entire inventory is filled with different kinds of flowers.

◇ follows you around like a lost puppy when the two of you go hunting.

◇ wants to be your knight in shining armor, but only has flowers to smack the zombies with.

◇ screamed when a creeper blew up not so far away from him.

◇ gets distracted by the most stupid things he can find.

"do we need this web?"

"rotten flesh? Should I take it?"

"this polar bear reminds me of you babe!"

"babe help! I lose you."

"can you come get me? I think I'm lost."

◇ he loves to spend his time building you guys' house and he acts like that's actually what your house will look like.

◇ "hmm, I actually want the dinner table to be here, since you like sitting down and facing that way, right"

◇ you told him it's just a game, but he wants it to be as accurate as possible.

◇ he squealed when you tamed a cat and called it Butters.

◇ he spends time fixing cute dates in minecraft while you're busy with college: picnics, mini zoos— since he knows you're more of an indoor person.

◇ you thank him with a lot of irl kisses.

◇ all over all, he's trying for you and he enjoys spending time with you, no matter what. <3

◇ BONUS

◇ he is so jealous whenever he catches you playing gacha games.

◇ why? He always catches you drooling at some hot animated characters.

◇ sits far away frowning, arms crossed as he watches you giggling at your phone.

"Babe! I'm the real deal! He doesn't exist!"

◇ he just wants attention, pls tell him you love him. <3

Introducing Spathi Eleftheriou (spah-th-ee eh-leh-f-theh-ree-oo), a Fire Emblem Three Houses OC for @fe-oc-week! It's been a hot minute since I tried to design an OC, and this is my first time for a Fire Emblem game (pls be nice im bby) (pls clap). It's been a lot of fun! They're def not a self-insert by any means, but they do share some aspects of my personality and ethnic background.

I know I'm super late to this, I felt so inspired by everyone's wonderful characters this year (esp @peachiehambo's Yoona and @wild-moss-art's Moss). Couldn't resist!!

More about Spathi after the cut!

Spathi hails from the seaside city of Alatisitou (ah-lah-tee-see-too) in southwestern Almyra, on windswept plains where wheat flows in golden waves, and scents of sage and marjoram carry forever on the wind.

They're the only child of a warm, close-knit family of farmers situated on the city outskirts, among the tumbling cliffs and endless highland valleys that eventually cascade down to the ocean. It's a fitting home for a kid born with dreams in their feet and salt spray in their hair; infinite possibilities and a wide, sun-soaked sky always offering new opportunities.

Growing up, they'd often be found spending their free time exploring the arcadian landscape, climbing through old ruins and cyprus groves, and occasionally ambling around the city proper to watch the sleek trading ships ply wares from far-flung lands.

They tend to be quiet and observant in public, but are extremely energetic, talkative, and personable with their friends, who would readily attest that Spathi is an indispensable one-person hype squad. You couldn't ask for someone better to gas you up when you're feeling down.

Their family grows wheat and olives in their humble fields and orchards for export and local sale. Spathi devotes themself to their family's well-being and works hard to ensure good harvests.

That's kinda all I've got so far, lol. Might add more to this later as other ideas come to mind! Some other broad stats for Spathi, in no particular order:

Their name translates to 'Sword of Freedom'

They're non-binary, their preferred pronouns are they/them and sometimes she/they

They're 19 years old when they enroll at Garreg Mach

They're 6'2" tall and are somewhat clumsy

They're passionate about breadmaking and all things bread-related

Their favorite flower is marigold

Their favorite spice is basil

Their favorite treat is mastic, a chewable resin from native trees with a bitter flavor that gives way to refreshing notes of pine and cedar (also delicious steeping into a cup of cool water!)

Their favorite tea is chamomile with a splash of wild honey and vanilla

They love to play the mandolin and pan flute, and they love to sing

They have a soft and sometimes raspy voice

They're a good sailor, though the family could never afford a ship larger than a catboat.

They fucking love boardgames dude!!!

At the academy, they have strong proficiencies with Sword, Faith, and Reason, and weak proficiency with Authority.

Anyway hope you like them!!

FAQ

(may be updated as time goes on)

What is this being written on?

ChoiceScript.

Can I make fanfic/art/etc? Can I show/tell you about my MC /OC/fanfic/art/etc?

Yes! Please do! I welcome it wholeheartedly and I'd love to see/hear about it!

Do you have a patreon or ko-fi?

No, not as of right now.

Will XYZ be in the story?

Maybe. This is a WIP so it's possible.

Is the rating 18+?

Yes.

Why is it rated 18+?

Sex scenes. And war and war imagery. And death.

Will the sex scenes be mandatory?

No. You have the option to not see it at all, a fade to black, or the full version.

NOTE: There will be NO full versions of the sex scenes in the public versions.

Death?!

It's a war. There are going to be causalities. No one's safe. Unless you choose to turn it off.

How does the death mechanic work, if turned on?

There are two ways the death mechanic will work.

1. Plot Dictated - This is ingrained into the plotline, you can't change this (unless you turn the feature off)

2. BIG Time Fail Stat Check - It's like trying to pass a stat check with the passing score being 50% and your stat is at like 10%.

NOTE: This mechanic only applies to the second phase ("The War Phase") and NOT the first phase ("The School Phase")

If the death mechanic is turned off, what happens?

No one dies, they're just permanently hurt/unavailable (Plot Dictated) or are visibly scarred/marked (BIG Time Fail Stat Check).

How is the story formatted?

If you played Fire Emblem: Three Houses, exactly like that but there are 5 houses/routes.

If you haven't, when you pick a House, you select a route. The first half ("The School Phase") will encompass the first game. There are about 12-13 chapters (one for each month). The second half ("The War Phase") will be in the second game and feature about 10-12 chapters, give or take a few.

Feel free to look at this post to see the route differences: LINK

How many endings are there?

5. One per route. As of right now.

How many ROs are there?

15. 3 for each house.

How do you pronounce the ROs' names?

Their last names are just two words put together (Oakdane = Oak + Dane, Tidewood = Tide + Wood, Seedcloud = Seed + Cloud, etc), so they're pronounced like that.

There are multiple ways to pronounce many of their first names. I put the ones I mainly use in their info sheets, but here are all of them:

Thalen: th-al-in, talon Sumiel: sue-me-elle Casithar: caz-eh-th-are Ariela: are-ee-ella, ah-re-ella Zanis: zane-us, xan-is ('xan' as in Xanax) Drelyth: dray-leth Afthel: aft-hell, aff-hell Anwyn: ann-win Lamatri: lahm-ah-tree, lamb-ah-tree Traki: track-ee ('tracky') Azaha: ahz-ah-ha, oz-ah-ha Rumik: rue-meek, rue-mick Daeri: day-ree, dairy Saevain: say-vain, suh-vain, suh-vin Cyian: kee-in, cyan

Are there any poly routes?

Yes, there are 10 options:

Thalen & Azaha Sumiel & Rumik Casithar & Daeri Ariela & Saevain Zanis & Cyian Drelyth & Saevain Afthel & Traki Daeri & Afthel Ariela & Casithar Traki & Drelyth

Will the ROs have romantic interests if MC doesn't romance them?

Potentially? If they do, it would only feature in the second half of the story (game 2) and the partners would be off-screen and only referenced in dialogue. If I decide to do this, there will be a toggle to turn it on and off.

Does MC have to romance someone?

Yes. It's a romance-based game.

How do cross-house romances work?

In the first phase ("The School Phase"), it's just normal romancing.

In the second phase ("The War Phase"), it depends on which houses MC and their LI(s) are from. Allied nations are easier to get to/be with while enemy nations are harder.

Where does the game take place?

Metrynus (met-trin-us), a fictional high fantasy world inspired by Dungeons and Dragons. Pentagiim (pen-tah-ghee-im), a fictional continent.

What nations are in Pentagiim?

There are 5 nations in Pentagiim: The Rasuaides Empire, The Espersland Republic, The Iseadesh Alliance, The Lupuv Caelait Territory, and The Quailax Kingdom.

How do you pronounce the nation names?

I don't know, LMAO. They change every time I read/type them, but here are the pronunciations I've used.

Rasuaides Empire: rah-sway-deez, rah-sway-diss, rah-swayds Rasuaidese: rah-sway-deez

Espersland Republic: es-pers-land Esperish: es-per-ish

Iseadesh Alliance: eh-sea-desh, eye-sea-desh Iseadesher: eh-sea-desh-er

Lupuv Caelait Territory: loo-poov kale-ate, la-poov cull-ate Lupuv Caelaitian: loo-poov kale-ate-tea-an, la-poov cull-ate-shin

Quailax Kingdom: quail-axe Quailaxian: quail-axe-ee-an

How does magic work in this world? What are Magus?

Magic is fairly common in the world of Metrynus, but people who can use magic aren't very common.

Magus (may-gus), or the plural Magii (may-guy), are people who can use magic. Magii are required to attend schooling, to what degree is determined by the nation the Magi lives in.

Does MC have a set personality?

No.

Does MC have a set appearance?

No.

Can MC be trans?

It won't really be addressed in story, but yes.

[jadejetts]

just got these zurg figures as a late christmas present!! :D now. i know what ur thinking. "why would you get a used one with a detached tube" because 1. the one disney currently sells strangely omits the "i am your father" lines from the sound chip, 2. it came with a couple of figures from 1999 which are awesome in their own right, 3. i wanna mod him anyway!! ive got a few things planned to make him more movie accurate- i'll put it under a read more here!

so, what i've got lined up is: - accurate mouth lights by chickenhaunt!! this is the one mod i'm doing For Sure. tl;dr its just one yellow light in the mouth normally, this'll give him that sliding effect from the film back - ball joints for the arms and wrists! i haven't seen anyone do this with zurg? but there's tons of people who've done it for buzz and i assume it'll be roughly the same process if not easier since there's no electronics in zurg's arms - something that nobody has either figured out or has shown off publicly- Making the gun actually fire. (absolutely getting help from my dad on this one if he's free, this is uncharted territory and will be much more of an experimental process than the others) i've also got a few more mods that are more of a Maybe than an absolutely, because they're harder in their own ways: - an accurate Z emblem! not only is there no case of a full scale zurg with an accurate emblem as far as i know, there also isn't a model or texture in any game that i could've used to make a model to print for, since either they're the inaccurate jagged emblem or so low resolution it's hard to make out and reconstruct from- luckily, this image of a lego piece with an accurate emblem has a good enough resolution to maybe build a model out of- the 'hard' part comes with actually making the emblem, as it's transparent plastic. we do have a 3d printer at home, but it's not the best by any means?? and i haven't fully looked into if transparent filament is any good or not, or if our 3d printer can print at the size needed and not look rounded or blobby - zurg vision!! this is something people have done before (even the mouth lights guy did it), but i feel it's much harder of a mod to pull off than any of the others since it's right where a screw would be, and there isn't much documentation on how either of the people who did this mod pulled it off - more articulation in the head! this one i'll need to learn more about how this toy's neck area is built to figure out, but hopefully the end product will be a head that can tilt in just about every position except rotating backwards - adjustable shoulder pads! like the zurg sold by revoltech :] no idea how feasible this would be, since i've never seen this mod idea done or even brought up - a transparent red backpack button with light! once again, transparent plastic, but this time hollow and housing an electronic light, which that second part is a bit of a challenge to hide for something that isn't already wired up to the toy itself - accurate hands?? this figure does the common pointer-finger and three-finger molds that a lot of toys use, so i'd like to see if i could maybe print something out that could be way better (and not as loose!!!!) - forearm chrome paint???? i have zero experience with painting stuff at all, so no idea if this'll go through- but it'd be how itd look in the films!!

and a couple of bonus mod ideas, just for my own satisfaction: - a better speaker?? dunno if the audio stored in the toy would benefit from this, but if it does, it'll be all the better for it - cleaning up youtube audio of zurg's lines in astro blasters, and maybe adding them to the sound chip thingy????? i have no idea how sound works in these toys, so maybe adding new sounds is impossible- but it'd be neat if that weren't the case!!

either way!! this'll be the first time i've ever done something like this- i'm probably just gonna set up the mouth lights and move on, but it's nice to have a list of to-dos in case i do feel up for more

[fioras-resolve]

hey, update on project believer: i've shifted the current plan from an eight-chapter game focused on plot, to a three, maybe four-chapter game focused on the characters.

hear me out here! i mentioned before that i wanted the first half of the original idea to be free, while the second half was paid. the problem with this is twofold. the first is that with the plot i was working with i couldn't really make a good cutoff point? talking to some friends about the model, one of them told me that the first half should at least be a full story in order to not leave players in suspsense, and while i am like "well if you want to see what happens next i've done my job," i also can't deny that some players would probably be angry at me for paywalling the resolution.

the second problem is a bit more complicated. tactics games have an inherent weakness in that their complexity makes it hard to teach players quickly. the biggest success stories for tactical tutorials tend to be either like Into the Breach where the mechanics are so streamlined they're easy to explain, or Fire Emblem: Awakening where mechanics are delivered piecemeal over the course of several actual levels. The issue is that Awakening's tutorial has the runtime of my entire original plan. And even though I've stripped down a lot of the mechanics, I realized that if I just made the first half of my eight-chapter game free, at least half of that would be just explaining how to play the game.

so surely that means i should make the game longer, right? why was my solution to halve it? well, because i realized something after watching the newest episode of Developing. Mark Brown, game design video essayist and now game developer, has been working on his first game for three years. three years is a large amount of your life to spend on one project, and he desperately wants to release the game this year. and he came to the painful realization that if he was going to get this game done on time, he would have to cut things. and this is true for basically every game. even the games you love almost definitely had a lot of stuff the developers wanted to put in but couldn't. and i realized, thinking about this: if i designed and wrote an eight-chapter srpg on my own, that might take years to finish.

so, yeah, cutting the game's size in half felt like the right move. it was originally very stressful, as i knew a lot of the sauce of the game's plot would be removed with only four chapters. i didn't just want to make a stripped-down version of the great game i was planning, so instead i decided on making a new great plan. i knew the game was going to be mostly tutorial by volume, so why not lean into that? That's what Portal did, after all, focus every level on the precise thing it's tutorializing.

so here's the plan: i have six characters, and each one's part of at least one pair with an interesting dynamic. so each level will focus solely on one of those pairs. there's teenage princess and overprotective guardian Reiana and Caibel, the relationship of the clingy Yuri and distant Asteria, and the dynamic between Jack who fights at his best in pain verses Azura who loathes to see others in pain. each of these dynamics will play out not just in dialogue but in gameplay, in fact the resonance of gameplay and story has been the point of the project since the beginning. i want to sell you on these characters, not just by getting good designs and writing them, but by making you feel who these characters are, in a way that only games can do.

there will be challenges, of course. focusing on two new characters each level means that you can't really get comfy with any of them, and that i have to make bespoke tutorials for each of them rather than letting one flow into the next. it opens me up pretty heavily to having a "weakest one" which i can't really afford if i want people to be itching to see more. and while a series of vignettes can be individually interesting, it'll take more connective tissue to make them feel cohesive as a full experience. that's what i hope a chapter 4 will accomplish. but more than ever, this game feels like something i can make and make good in a short-ish period. thanks for reading, y'all!

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: What DLCs Would Survive Galeem??

I always found it a little backwards that only Kirby survived. Even if he was the only one with the ability to live, he would've helped someone else (like Meta Knight or King Dedede), but I just bought it. But with the additions of the DLC Fighters, there's never an explanation as to how they got there or if they were a part of Galeem's army. So that's where I come in. I'm going to decide what DLCs would survive and who wouldn't!!

NOTICE: I am by NO means experienced in all of these games!! A lot of my knowledge is from Smash and Smash only, so if I get facts wrong, feel free to correct me!! I'd love to hear all of your guys' ideas as well!!

So of course, there are rules and limits. If there weren't, almost everyone would live.

Nobody can latch a ride with Kirby/any other potential survivor. As I said earlier, if they were able to do that, Meta Knight and Dedede would be alive.

As said earlier, most of my knowledge is based off of what they can do in SMASH. But that doesn't limit it. I researched several characters' abilities to make sure my claims were as accurate as someone with no idea can.

With that, let's get into it!!

Joker: Not a Survivor

Joker is pretty much a normal teenager, and Arsène doesn't have anything that would help Joker escape?? I'm pretty sure that there are a few things in P5 that might have allowed him to survive? But as far as I know, no, he wouldn't.

Hero: Not Sure?? Leaning: No

I know nothing about Dragon Quest, but I feel like Hero would be in the same boat as characters like Link and Cloud, where they can try but ultimately they're gonna get captured. The only reasons I'm not sure is because of Hero's reveal where they save Link from Marth and Meta Knight, implying they were alive? But I don't think they actually survived and that that was just a way to advertise them.

Banjo & Kazooie: Not Survivors

Banjo & Kazooie would be in the same boat as Duck Hunt. They don't seem to have anything outstandingly useful to win with, so unfortunately they probably wouldn't live.

Terry Bogard: Not a Survivor

Terry is the most human out of the bunch for DLC pack one (aside from Joker, but even then, Joker has Arsène). He really doesn't have anything to fight against Galeem with and almost no means of escape. Terry unfortunately wouldn't live.

Byleth: Not Sure?? Leaning: Yes

Byleth, unlike the other Fire Emblem cast, has Sothis, who I think has been seen helping Byleth escape one place to get to another. Of course, I'm guessing based on the reveal trailer, and have no prior context to what that cutscene actually was. I still think Byleth could survive.

Min Min: Not a Survivor

Similarly to Terry, Min Min is just a stretchy human. She doesn't have anything all that special other than her arms. Min Min probably wouldn't survive.

Steve/Alex: Survivors!!

Our first definite survivors of the bunch, and they're the minecraft reps. Any shock? Anyways, this one is situational. But I'm gonna count it since the Star Fox gang AND Captain Falcon conveniently had their ships. So, how would they do it? Nether portals. If Steve and Alex build a Nether portal and go through it, Galleem probably couldn't get them, since I think the light would just break the portal on contact since it acts more like a weapon than an entity. So congrats, Steve and Alex, to be the first of three definite survivors!!

Sephiroth: Take a guess. (Survivor!)

Listen, Sephiroth can slice Galeem in half. Considering that, I think he could avoid Galeem's attacks. Under the assumption that he doesn't kill Galeem so that World of Light can actually happen.

Pyra + Mythra: Not Survivors

As far as I'm aware, neither of them have any abilities that could help them escape, since they seem human or equivalent? So they wouldn't make it, most likely.

Kazuya: Not Sure?? Leaning: No

Kazuya was weird to me. I'm not a huge fighting game person other than SSB, so I knew nothing about Tekken. After some google searches, I leaned to the side he wouldn't survive. He's mostly human, but even with his Devil's Gene, more powerful characters (like Ganondorf) also lost, so he wouldn't survive. I think.

Sora: Survivor!!

My main!!! Even though I love Sora, I'm not biased! I haven't played Kingdom Hearts. But based off of a few searches, and his Final Smash, I believe he can open portals with his Keyblade. Unlike Steve and Alex, he can open portals under less circumstances. So the place of our third and final survivor goes to no other than Sora!

To finish it off, the DLC packs brought some very powerful characters that could survive World of Light. I wish we had gotten some explanation as to what happened to the DLCs, but I get it. Cutscenes are hard to make. Again, these are all my ideas, and I might not be right! If you have something to add, feel free! I'd be glad to hear from you! If you got this far, thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoyed!!

The cast of Fire Emblem 3 Houses as Pro Wrestlers: The Golden Deer

The last of the three houses at the Officer's Academy, Fodlan's own AEW to the Black Eagles and Blue Lions' WWE.

Hilda Valentine Goneril: Claude's retainer is always happy to boss people around, so the easy comparison for the pink haired girl would be Alexa Bliss, but her deep but hidden commitment to her friends and a mean streak hidden under all that makeup and jewelry make me think of Dark Order's lieutenant at their peak: Anna Jay.

Lorenz Hellman Gloucester: with an air of authority, a stiff upper lip, a refined personality and a surprising capacity for violence, the future leader of County Gloucester is none other than William Regal.

(Considering the fact that in Verdant Wind and Silver Snow, Leicester ends up being part of the greater Unified Fodlan, if Lorenz ends up in control of what used to be the Alliance, he'd very much be in a role like Regal's when he was general manager of NXT)

Leonie Pinelli: as a prospective mercenary, Leonie is an outsider to the social structure of knighthood, so it would be completely reasonable for her wrestling counterpart to also be an outsider. Ronda Rousey sounds like the perfect match for Leonie, even if I do think Leonie has the mental fortitude to stick with MMA instead of changing careers like the "Baddest Woman on the Planet" did.

Marianne von Edmund: this young woman cursed with the Crest of the Beast is normally very kind, soft spoken and reserved. But, as shown on rare occasions in game, sometimes her crest does manifest itself, granting her incredible strength and ferocity. Keeping with this theme of being gentle outside of battle and fierce once in it, I would say Marianne would adopt a different persona in ring, so my two personal picks for her counterpart would be either Rosemary or Abadon.

(Marianne and Mercedes as a tag team like Rosemary and Allie were in Impact would be awesome.)

Ignatz Victor: this bespectacled young man is, to be perfectly honest, a bit of a weenie. Despite this, he's quite capable as an artist, and post-timeskip he's handsome to boot. An unconventional pick for him, but fellow ariste, wannabe casanova and total weenie Ryan Nemeth.

Lysithea von Ordelia: with her life severely shortened by the experiments done on her by the Slitherers, this young warlock wants to squeeze as much as possible out of her time left, often disregarding her health in the service of her country and friends, especially during the post-timeskip period. There are no easy comparisons to a member of the women's rosters at WWE or AEW, but her willingness to risk life and limb in battle is very much like Darby Allin.

(that's two Golden Deer with face paint gimmicks, even if they're vastly different)

Raphael Kirchner: let's set the scene: Dimitri Alexander Reigns is gloating about his recent success beating the piss out of a jobber, stating that he'll take the fans' dreams and kill every last one of them. Suddenly, a voice rings out from the entrance ramp: "I'M NOT FINISHED WITH YOU!" Enter Raphael Kirchner, the Monster Among Men. Braun Strowman could not find a better stand in to throw office chairs at the Big Hog Dog in Fodlan.

(And to reinforce my belief that these two are connected by screaming, just look at Ralph's supports with Flayn. He's a big ol dude who loves to SCREAM)

Next up: The Church of Seiros. Feel free to reblog and comment with suggestions and feedback!

I have three, at present - I have posted many a fic to AO3 over the years, but with my current account, just three.

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

70,506 at present

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Elder Scrolls at present, though only have Skyrim posted at present - hoping to get something for Oblivion posted soon though! I've also recently dabbled in writing some things for BG3, and also Stardew Valley (though I don't think that any of them will be posted unless I find myself very satisfied with how they end up). Historically, I've delved into and posted Fire Emblem (primarily Awakening/Fates/Three Houses because they were the main games I had played), and even further back (back when I first started writing fanfic when I was about 12/13! I just realised I've been writing fanfic for half my life writing that out!) Pokemon.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

As I only have three fics posted on AO3, I can only do them, but in order: 1. The Perfect Storm (it's my main and longest fic to date, so unsurprising) with 117 kudos 2. Purity (a Vilkas/Dragonborn oneshot) with 17 kudos 3. Seeking the Sun (prequel to The Perfect Storm which I started on after it!) with a mere 2 kudos.

5. Do you respond to comments?

Where I can string together a coherent thought, and if I remember (and I am terrible at remembering!) I try to!! But I do read every single one, even if I don't remember to respond.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Now, as I haven't finished any fics (as of yet) beyond a few oneshots, I will have to base my answer on some plans for the few fics which I have planned out, and I believe that the story with my Hero of Kvatch Aelia is most likely to have the angstiest ending. She throws away her entire support network, including friends and family, to wallow in her misery and grief in the Shivering Isles, descending into madness, because all she wants to do is bring Martin back.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

I really want it to be The Perfect Storm! I haven't planned out the ending for it yet, but I want it to be happy. However, I shall delight in stirring the pot and make Elyse and Balgruuf work for that happy ending, you hear? 😂

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Not really? The closest thing to that which I got was being told that my writing was 'too dramatic'... Shame that I love writing me some drama. Dramatics can be taken from my cold, dead hands.

9. Do you write smut?

Yeah, though I don't think that I've posted any of it yet.... I still need to actually finish the smut which I was writing for my birthday. My birthday which was over a month ago. Ooops.

10. Do you write crossovers?

Nope. I just don't really like them. It's something I've always got to filter out when reading fics.... The closest I'd get to writing a crossover is, say, references to stuff from Oblivion in a Skyrim fic? But would that technically even be a crossover, if they're both Elder Scrolls? Though they are separate games....

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Again, no, not that I know of...

13. Have you ever co-written a fic?

Does it count if I tried co-writing a Pokemon Mystery Dungeon fic with a self-insert shiny Eevee with a ff.net friend when I was like 13 that we never posted???? If not, no!

15. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

Honestly... I think it might be the fic based around Elyse's parents, Ingja and Edwyn, which I've only posted the first chapter to here on Tumblr. I know their story - it's all very firmly in my head, and is set to be referred to across Seeking the Sun and The Perfect Storm, but I simply don't think that I would be able to finish it... Plus I like keeping Edwyn's fate very vague. Though Ingja dies, because Elyse will meet her in Sovngarde when she goes to fight Alduin, what happens to Edwyn I've left ambiguous, hence why I don't think I would be able to finish it. He simply leaves one day and after sending Elyse a handful of letters he disappears. It gives me opportunity to maybe bring him in at some point down the line in The Perfect Storm... I kinda want to write a scenario where Balgruuf meets Edwyn now. Damn.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I'd like to say dialogue. I don't like putting dialogue into a fic unless I can mentally hear the line in the character's voice, if that makes any sense? If I can't hear it, or can't imagine a character saying it, I won't include it. But in addition to that, a lot of my scene-building and whatnot comes from using dialogue as a baseline. Obviously there are times where that isn't the case, but I do love writing little conversations to push a scene along.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

I do believe that just as it is a strength, dialogue is also a weakness! Sometimes, I find myself over-relying on dialogue simply to 'fill space'. Where something like non-verbal communication, or environmental descriptions or even a change of scene would fit better, I'll just throw in some dialogue in the same way that I add cheese to meals - in overabundance! In addition, I would say that finding a way to bridge scenes together is another weakness of mine. I can have a chapter mostly complete, but without that one last bridging moment - often simply a sentence or paragraph or two which can join two scenes together - I simply cannot bring myself into completing it.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue on another language in a fic?

Now, in terms of reading it, I find it really cool as long as some sort of way to translate it is available! In that vein, I do sometimes use some of the dragon language in my fics - mostly when a dragonborn is communicating with Paarthurnax or Odahviing - and I'll have a full list of translations to include in the end notes. On that note, I swear that I have https://www.thuum.org/ open in a separate tab almost constantly when I'm writing just in case!!! I've always found that most useful when trying to include the dragon language.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

That'd probably have to be for Pokemon Ranger Guardian Signs, though none of those fics were ever typed up (I think???). I still remember excitedly pulling the odd page from school exercise books to staple together whilst scavenging for pens to write me some more Pokemon Ranger fanfic.......

20. Favourite fic you've written?

The Perfect Storm, absolutely. Though I do sometimes think of going back to work on/improve some of my earlier chapters in the fic, in particular surrounding Elyse's experience in Windhelm because I'm not as in love with that as I once was. My love for Balgruuf (and Elyse, and the two of them together!) fuels my love, favouritism, and bias towards the fic.

[canonical-transformation]

Prologue & Chapter 1 — Mystery of the Emblem [FE17 let's play]

(spoiler: the Emblem was Marth)

Meet my OC! Her name is A'lear. The apostrophe isn't abbreviating anything, it's just really important to put lots of apostrophes and uncommon letters in an original character's name. She is a dragon, like Corrin from Fates!

Also A'lear's mother is Queen Lumera, the universally loved Divine Dragon Queen! And that means she is a princess, just like Corrin from Fates. A dragon princess, wow!

(the Fates comparisons end here. A'lear is better than Corrin because Corrin had that "reconciling two conflicting heritages" angst where she had to fight her own siblings for drama. My OC A'lear will not have any of that "nature vs nurture" angst, because this will be a story about FOUND FAMILY.)

A'lear's hair is red and blue as a homage to the two most important characters in Fire Emblem history: Enemy Phase and Player Phase.

This is my second playthrough of FE17. I'm picking Maddening this time around, and the game insists I pick fixed unit growths for my own sanity. (That means no random dice rolls on level-up, but instead slowly ticking counters that give stat points out at steady intervals.)

We have Switch Online (for my wife's foray into Splatoon) so I will absolutely be making use of the online features — the shiny yellow and purple tiles which give free loot and XP, and more importantly, earlier and more convenient access to the Tower of Trials, which will let me grind for A supports and silver ingots and Ancient Well loot more easily when I'm feeling stuck.

I don't have the DLC but will consider it after this run.

-----------------------

Our story begins with a semi-prophetic dream sequence, in which Robin and a mysterious blue-haired stranger defeat an evil Fell Dragon sorcerer together and profess their undying, eternal, totally platonic love for one another. Then she wakes up from a deep slumber, with amnesia.

But who was the stranger? (It was Marth, protagonist of the original Fire Emblem. This is not a spoiler. He's on the box art and all the trailers. He was also a playable character in 2017's Fire Emblem Warriors, and one of twenty-four non-Fox characters in 2001's Super Smash Bros Melee. Also we'll get his name halfway through chapter 1.) Who could it be?

Functionally, the Prologue is a tutorial for the basic controls. On turn 1, you learn how to move A'lear-and-Marth. On turn 2, you attack the Fell Dragon Sombron with a sword, and he attacks you back with horrifying dark magic. Then he does it again, and A'lear is down to 10/50HP versus Sombron's 36/60HP. The situation is dire!

But hope is not lost! Each time A'lear and Sombron took a swing at one another, A'lear's Engage Meter went up by 1. Now it's full, which means... they can do the fusion dance and...

(Emblem...)

... Engage!

Wow, very Cool(TM). Take that, 13th century Italian city state aesthetic, what have you got for drip? Eyepatches?

With their powers combined, A'lear and Marth unleash a devastating ultimate attack, stabbing Sombron nine times at stunning speed for exactly 36 damage. He dies, and Marth tells A'lear that he'll always be by her side, so long as she remembers him.

Anyway, did I mention the amnesia? A'lear awakes with amnesia and is greeted by her fan club, the twins Framme and Clanne (*). Shortly afterwards, we meet Vander, 32nd Steward of the Dragon, who has pretty good facial hair, and takes his job a lot more seriously than his successors.

(* I do literally mean fan club. Their support chain is about the Divine Dragon Fan Club, of which they're both founders and presidents.)

In Chapter 1, A'lear and her three guardians are on their way to meet the Queen of Elyos when they encounter some of the Corrupted, who are zombies I guess. A'lear and Vander must fight them. (The twins tried to play hero and now need rescuing.)

Vander is what some call a "Jagen": a grizzled old warrior (often a paladin) who starts with way better stats than the rest of the team, but who gets next to no EXP from kills for half the game. Functionally, this means that every time Vander defeats an enemy—which they're pretty good at—he's wasted EXP other characters could have been using to level up.

This results in a totally immersive gameplay experience:

A'lear: "Vander, hand me your vulnerary."

Vander: "Of course, Divine One. It is my sworn duty to protect your life. With my own, if necessary."

A'lear: "Oh. That won't be necessary. Now, take position in the trees. No, those trees."

Vander: "Those trees? In the distance? Nowhere near the enemy?"

Alear: "Yes."

But reinforcements keep coming, and by the end of turn 2 Framme and Clanne are about to be torn to shreds. In a cutscene A'lear suddenly remembers the voice from her dreams, and then she utters the invocation to summon Marth, Emblem of Beginnings.

A'lear and Marth then proceed to fight a single Corrupted axe fighter together, with such perfect synchronisation that they're basically mirror images of one another. Because of this, the monster is able to simultaneously block their every attack together. I kind of feel embarrassed for them. (Supposedly Alear gets Dex+1 from fighting alongside Marth? This is what Dex+1 looks like.)

Alear and Marth demolish the remaining monsters, levelling up their Bond a bit in the process. This requires having Vander lure some of the remaining monsters from the south.

Vander: "As you commanded, Divine One, I holstered my axe and let them all stab me a little bit as I rejoined you."

A'lear: "Thank you."

Vander: "Dare I ask where you learned such battlefield tactics?"

A'lear: "I don't know, I have amnesia."

A'lear takes down the last enemy with another ninefold nonuple stab combo. But then a dragon shows up out of nowhere! Oh no! Is it a potential ally? Or... a NEW STORM!?!?!?!?

I was tagged by @m34gs in this post here. Thanks for the tag, friend!

Here are some clarifications!

-Yes, I had an old account! It was a fanfiction.net account! Please don't ask me what it was. I actually completely forgot what username I had.

-Any smut of mine is completely unpublished and it will remain unpublished. Do not ask to read it or for me to send it to you unless you're M34GS.

-All my fics, except for my co-written ones with ObscureReference and the two for the Zine are unbeta read. I don't have the time nor patience to ask someone. I just edit my fics myself.

-I type screaming comments into comment text boxes.

-Didn't circle "fanfiction is a literary genre" because while there are published works that are technically fanfiction (ex: Wicked, Wendy Darling and the sequel Hooked), they're not marketed as "fanfiction" and are only "fiction".

-Keeps an outline is VERY tentatively circled because my outlines are just me writing a small note to a scene I want to write. I do not do extensive outlines, except in the FE Fates Mafia AU I wrote with ObscureReference. We needed one.

-I've never commissioned artwork for one of my fics before but over the years some VERY KIND and VERY TALENTED people have drawn art for me, completely unprompted. I am so grateful and I want them to know I have it all saved on my phone.

-I have so many unpublished works on my computer! Most are just ideas I was testing, didn't work out, and then kept just in case I wanted to try again or repurpose the idea. Big shoutout to my three attempts to write a FE Fates Kiznaiver AU where the Trio are linked. Just never worked the way I wanted it...

-I've never been drunk, just a little tipsy or drinking some wine while I write. Still, circled it because that counts.

-I don't need tea to write, but I like having it when I do.

-There are so many of my fics I think deserve more attention. Maybe if there is interest, I'll make a top ten list of them or something.

Fandoms I write for: SDR2, Fire Emblem Fates/Awakening, KHR (Katekyo Hitman Reborn), Twisted Wonderland.

about me/blog info

introduction, before you follow, fandom stuff, etc. below the cut!

(star dividers courtesy of saradika)

hi everyone, i'm bees! here's some info about me/my blog:

i usually go by bees (he/him). please feel free to call me by name or whatever silly little nicknames you can think of.

if you know me irl no you don't. this is my happy little cringe fandom habitat <3

i love video games (mostly Nintendo and especially Pokemon/Fire Emblem) and anime (mostly Shounen and Shoujo), and most of the things i reblog are fanart and posts i think are funny

Fire Emblem: Three Houses is my favorite game of all time, and i post about it incessantly (more about this later)

Bernadetta von Varley is my favorite character of all time and i love her dearly and also she is my wife 💜

you can learn more about my favorite things here!

it is very difficult for me to come out of my shell and be myself (even in a space like this), but i returned to tumblr because i want to try to have fun and be cringe and be free, and i'm trying my best every day <3

PLEEEAAASE feel free to send asks/tag me/etc., especially if we're mutuals, and especially about my favorite things! i am far too anxious to initiate anything but i like interacting with people :)

on that note please be patient with me sometimes it takes me a long time to respond to things but I INTEND TO I PROMISE

i don't post art much but when i do you can find it under #my art

taken <3

before you follow (it's not too long i promise)

please don't follow me if you're a minor. i'm hesitant to mark this blog explicitly as 18+ because i don't really post nfsw stuff here besides joke text posts, but i don't want minors here regardless, sorry!

this is a 🏳️‍⚧️ trans friendly blog 🏳️‍⚧️

i don't do DNI's, but i do block/softblock/unfollow/blacklist/filter freely

i tend to avoid fandom discourse, including proship/anti/etc. discourse. my policy is that if i'm uncomfortable with a particular type of fandom content, i will fall back on my previous bullet point as necessary. the same goes for when i see people engaging in bullying and harassment over fandom stuff

this is not a spoiler-free blog, especially for FE3H and Naruto. i will occasionally tag spoilers (usually for jjba and xenoblade), but not consistently

FE3H-specific stuff

please please PLEASE talk to me about Fire Emblem: Three Houses for the Nintendo Switch you're not bothering me i promise

Bernie and Sylvain are my favorite guys i think they're neat

i'm too old and tired for fe3h lord discourse. i have my own favorites and opinions, but i tend to avoid following blogs that post aggressive or uncharitable takes about the main lords

i came from twitter where Bernadetta would only really trend for negative reasons, so please understand that i'm sensitive about the way people talk about her and her fans. no hard feelings if you don't like her, and i actually agree with a lot of criticism about her writing, but i try to keep anything too mean out of sight

That's it for now! Thanks for reading/skimming/whatever you just did, and I hope you'll stick around!

Shade's Masterpost

About Me

Hello, hello, hello! Please call me Shade! I accept use of all pronouns, but I do have the most fun with fae/faer, they/them, and ve/vir. I identify as queer simply because I could apply too many labels to myself. The one that takes up the largest part of my identity is my asexuality, so that's the only one I'll name. (I prefer sir to ma'am if you're going to use one, or captain if we're trying to be gender neutral, which I also accept, as it makes me feel like a pirate, which I am)

I've been strongly in fandom since 2014, a little late to the game compared to some! Especially since I always seem to be getting into fandoms as they're dying out. 🤣 My main contributing factors to fandom are fanfiction and videos, and occasionally rants and shitposts, but I'm not terribly good at either of those. But I tend to hang onto all my fandoms, revisiting them occasionally just to check on how they're doing, so I can't fully say I've ever left one. Speaking of, let's list some of those out for you.

My Fandoms

Free!

Haikyuu!!

Yuri on Ice!!!

Ouran High School Host Club

Voltron: Legendary Defender

Banana Fish

Boku no Hero Academia/My Hero Academia

Sk8: The Infinity

Buddy Daddies

Persona 5

Persona 4

Fire Emblem: 3 Houses

Spy x Family

Obey Me!

Percy Jackson

Studio Ghibli

Good Omens

Mythology (Greek/Roman, Norse, Egyptian, Native American, anything else I can get my hands on)

Fairy Tales (og Grimms, Hans Christian Anderson, etc... not Disney things)

Musicals (Phantom of the Opera, Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen, a plethora of more, please ask if you'd like to know!)

Our Flag Means Death

House of the Dragon/Fire & Blood (wasn't a fan of Game of Thrones)

Is that it? I think that's it for now. I have only written... for about half of them. Read for many. Most of my fanfiction is composed of anime fandoms, not going to lie about that. But I am always up for being prompted! Speaking of, let's look into the prompts.

Writing Prompts

How it works: You can send in a prompt of your own making, or you can choose one from these lists.

300 Words

Fire Emblem 3 Houses Bingo

More lists will be made regularly, and I'm always looking for prompts, especially around the holidays.

Choose one of the fandoms I know, send me a prompt, and we'll get jiggy with it. You can get more detailed, too, adding in what ship you'd like it to be for (I ship many, many things, and have often been convinced to write for ships I don't particularly care for, so don't hold back), or an AU if that's your thing. (It's certainly mine, I like AUs) If you specifically want it in cannon, might specify that too.

As a side note here, I use my Non-Binary Glossary for when I write nonbinary characters. Feel free to use it, and read through it if you see any words you might not immediately realize what they mean when I'm writing them.

My Tumblr Projects

You can find my fanfiction here at NightshadeDawn, but as I've mentioned, fanfiction isn't all I do. Let's dive into some of the other things I do, hm?

Persona 6: Genesis

A fan concept for Persona 6. An entire blog dedicated to it, with posts going through the entire plot of the game, character art created, maps planned out, and various other little things. It's been sort of put on the back burner, but it's still fun to look at sometimes.

Obsidian Sea DLC

A similar concept to Genesis, but so far faring better in the fact the actual story of it is in the works of being written. It's a hypothetical DLC for Fire Emblem: Three Houses that introduces three brand new units as part of Jeralt's Mercenaries, and makes Jeralt playable to round out as their fourth. The main plot of the DLC sees Jeralt's Mercenaries, Byleth, and their students going to Brigid to uncover the reason why people keep coming back from the dead with white hair and crests, then proceeding to turn into Demonic Beasts.

Verdant Wind: The Musical Twin AU

A series of videos edited in such a way that comes across as a musical retelling the story of the Verdant Wind route of Fire Emblem: Three Houses. With the idea that there's various parts that are incorrect either due to being lost to history or because of... "artistic vision."

The Gemini

A Persona 5 fangame that adds a social link for Shiho Suzui, making her a romanceable character while exploring her trauma and how she's growing as a person. Technically playable, but incomplete in my vision.

Ultimate Decades Drama

A collection of mini challenges for players of the Sims 4, specifically the Ultimate Decades Challenge. As I'm only a console player, I struggle with playing the challenge itself, but I love watching playthroughs. I heard a few people talk about struggling with stories or directions they wanted to take Sims, so I thought "Hey, I can tell stories. Let's see if I can translate that into something helpful."

Frequently Asked Questions

Technically, I have not had any of those yet. But I see this being updated every so often, so it's fine to leave this here.

In Conclusion...

Sifting through the reblogs, the anime stuff, the mild ramblings... be prepared for what you'll find if you continue down this blog. But you've made it thus far, and for that, I applaud you.

If there's anything you'd like to support, I do have a Kofi though I will be honest about not entirely knowing what I'm doing with it.

But now that you know all my deepest, darkest parts... is there anything else you'd like to know?

[ladysolwind]

I broke out the 3DS and started playing Echoes a few days ago. Simultaneously, I both really love and am severely irritated by it. Some thoughts about it from someone who has played Gaiden, albeit over a decade ago.

The streamlined gameplay definitely has its benefits. Battles flow really well and it makes combat very easy to plan. The HP based magic can get so broken so fast if you put one mage on attack and one mage on heal. Promotions really feel like an upgrade. The one item system with no durability is different, but not necessarily in a bad way. Like finding a silver bow is a reward and not just like "oh cool free bow." You have to really think about who gets what. Also because this system is so constrictive there are some wild items in there.

The visuals are a glow up. I really like the character designs vs how everyone looks in Gaiden. Compared to Shadow Dragon, I feel like there was a lot of effort and creativity put into the redesigns. Mathilda probably wins as my favorite character design in the game. Hot damn that woman is beautiful.

Like if the girl on the left is just as pretty as the girl on the right.

Shout out to the music, too. Like some of it slapped in 8-Bit Gaiden glory, so it only gets better. With Mila's Divine Protection is probably one of my favorite songs in all of Fire Emblem.

Complaints and my Fire Emblem plans under the cut.

The grinding. Oh lord, the grinding. It's brutal. Going through dungeons and having the tiny three monster fights over and over. It's tedious as all hell and I am not here for it. The DLC helps, but that's not all that much of an option during the first two chapters. And you have to grind. It's unavoidable.

It's also a real pain in the ass to even promote. Like I just finished Chapter 4, and every time I needed to promote, I had to fight this giant hoard of necrodragons to get to the dungeon, then fight an unavoidable encounter in the dungeon, promote, evacuate, and then fight the necrodragons again on the way back to where I was.

Archanea. I get it, it's pronounced to reflect how you pronounce アカネイア but it sounds stupid this way. This is very important to me D:< the Archanea games are very close to my heart. Shadow Dragon was my first. Don't make it stupid.

Yet all of it is still such a step up from Gaiden that I'm not even that pressed about it. Yeah it sucks, but Gaiden was so much worse!

My plan at this point is to go through every Fire Emblem game. I've played Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light, Gaiden, and Mystery of the Emblem. The first two were with a lot of save state abuse rewinding, and fast forwarding, so it wasn't the authentic experience but, I mean, come on. They're clunky Famicom games. This was less of the case with Mystery of the Emblem.

Then I haven't played another game until Shadow Dragon. I've played every game since, including spin offs, except for Tokyo Mirage Sessions. But that leaves a pretty big gap of some really beloved games in this series that I only know through osmosis, Heroes, and Engage.

My plan is to play and rank them as I go. Next on my list is Fates. In order to give it a fair shake I'm playing all three routes, but in order to make it tolerable I'm refusing to make any child units. I'll do it in Awakening where it makes sense, but not in Fates. Maybe I'll marry Corrin off but that's it.

So far this list is:

1. Three Houses

2. Engage

3. Echoes

With Engage beating out Echoes by a smidge solely because of the tedious grinding in the former.

Let's see how long I'll go until I burn out.

[showaboutdeath]

"You're gonna be fine on the other side.."

Hiya!! I'm JoJo/Ratti or you may call me by some of my kins (Fizzy, Lydia, Niffty, Adrina, Sora, Lumine)

I am a Masc-leaning Nonbinary Bisexual FictoAroAce adult creative who really enjoys musicals and animated shows. I draw and write but usually don't have alot of free time ;_;

Interests/Fandoms

Bolded are things I'm fixated on currently! Italic is favorite in the series

• Beetlejuice (All media types)

+ More lol

F/O list

I am not comfortable sharing alot of my F/Os because they're selfships rather than ocxcanon and are very personal to me. Some are selective sharing though! My feelings about sharing are a spectrum and some F/Os I am more lenient on sharing than others, so don't be afraid to ask!

Some ships have dark themes that I will tag my posts correctly with when they come up (ex: tw age gap, tw incest) so if that's not your thing, feel free to block the ship tag or warning tag.

• Professor Sycamore (Pokémon XY) - Romantic

Ship tag: #🪻 Lavendershipping

STRICT non-sharing. He is very close to my heart and Sycamore selfship doubles are a trigger of mine.

Warnings?

None! Pretty vanilla selfship unless I talk about AUs

• Múspell (Fire Emblem Heroes) - Romantic

Ship tag: #🪻 Infernoshipping

Also Strict non-sharing, he was my first F/O and he's very near and dear to me.

Warnings?

None except some light toxicity between the two (It's Múspell, expect that lol)

• Ghetsis (Pokémon BW) - Romantic/Familial (Shipcest)

Ship tag: #🪻 JoGhet

Pretty selective sharing, he was my first shipcest F/O and he's very close to my heart aswell as my 3rd F/O.

Warnings?

Incest, abusive relationship in literally every way imaginable with Stolkholm syndrome, sometimes polyship with N in there to add extra incestuous spice and kid x adult. they are probably my worst selfship tbh and i love them for it

• Harry Potter (HP) - Romantic

Ship tag: #🪻 LavenderPot

Pretty strict non-sharing, It really depends tbh. I recommend asking me about it.

Warnings?

None! (They get pretty sad though)

• Sirius Black (HP) - Romantic

Ship tag: #🪻 FlowerStar

I'm quite lenient on doubles with Sirius actually! He might be the one F/O I'm closest to being okay with doubles on!

Warnings?

Also none (also pretty sad sometimes)

• Prince Caspian X (Chronicles of Narnia) - Romantic

Ship tag: #🪻 CatBlade

Pretty strict non-sharing, purely out of my own comfort because I'm not a big fan.

Warnings?

Chapter 9 Part 6: Finally Freeing Tana

We left off here, ready to move in and free Tana.

Since I moved everyone up, Kyle and his 2 res is now in range of the monk, so the sleep staff targets him and misses.

And then on player phase, I send Ephraim to take care of the armor near Tana's cell who it turns out doesn't move.

I'm sure I'm not the only one, but a pet peeve of mine about the enemy range indicators in the GBA games is that they don't tell you when units don't move. So you actually get false information if you click on a unit who is programmed to stay in place.

After attacking the armor, Ephraim is now in range of this guy.

So how does this look? At first, it looks not so dangerous, but then I notice the guy's kill sword, which is why he has a base 36% crit rate.

I decide not to leave Ephraim there. However, now that I'm looking at these photos, I'm realizing that Ephraim actually would have survived a crit from the guy as long as he wasn't getting doubled.

I should have done more math... :(

Honestly though, playing with a DS lite in one hand while the other hand picks up and puts down my cell phone to take photos means that I start to get physically drained and my hands start to get stiff about halfway through any given map. So I think I'm more likely to make dumb mistakes as a result.

Lute finishes off the sword guy, and I leave Vanessa in place to hit the cavalier reinforcement.

Seth starts hitting the wall to free Tana, and Franz has rescued Ephraim out of (not) danger.

Meanwhile, we have even more cavalier reinforcements down below, along with a couple other guys who were there to start with and won't move until we get in range.

I leave Artur here when I realize he could be in range of that dark mage in the throne room. The archer can't reach him, and Artur has good res, so it's a pretty safe position.

Ross, meanwhile, is in range of the soldier below.

Here's Ross doing both cool shit, and really not cool shit.

Just putting this here to remind everyone that, yes, there is a magic weapon triangle!

It never feels quite as relevant as the physical one, but it's the reason why Artur has super good hit against this dark mage (below), and the dark mage is down to 50 against Artur.

Fire Emblem has done many different versions of the weapon triangle, and the GBA version (which, unless there are tiny differences I'm forgetting about, was consistent across all three games) feels relevant for the physical weapons because it can make a pretty big difference. Something about how it works out for the magic weapons always makes it feel kind of superfluous though.

I think part of it is just that enemy mages usually have decent res and bad def, so most of the time you attack them with physical units, not your own mages. You use your own mages to chip guys with no two range, or to blast armors out of existence.

I think another part of it is also that you get fewer mage characters than physical attackers in any of the three games, so it feels like you notice the characteristics of their weapon type less, and the individual eccentricities of the character more.

Like, Artur is the only light mage I have for a good portion of the game. Lute can use light magic if I promote her to sage, and so can Moulder and Natasha, and two other characters that we'll get later. But since Artur is the only light mage for so long, he feels less like "Artur who is one of the light mages" and more like "Artur".

If anything, I think a player is likely to compare Artur to Lute even though they're using totally different tomes, just because they are the only mages you have for a while. Any differences you notice are as likely to feel like differences between the two characters as they are differences between the weapon type.

Seth finishes smashing down the wall, and Colm opens his first chest, which I think had money in it.

Vanessa and Artur finish off their respective targets.

Tana flies out of her cell and has a conversation with Ephraim. She explains that she left her home castle without permission and came to help before getting captured.

At first, Ephraim tries to convince her to go home, but she manages to argue for staying with the army.

And now it is official that both Renais twins have saved Tana from being locked up. She's the Princess Peach of Sacred Stones.

I think that there is supposed to be some implied romance-potential between Ephraim and Tana. And I think they get married in the end game if you get them to A support, but I don't remember their support chain well, so I wonder if it's one of those ones that falls kind of flat, but, hey prince and princess so they gotta get married!

(I honestly don't remember, so the only reason I'm wondering if it falls flat is because I would think that if it sparked with romantic tension, I would remember it. But, hey, my memory isn't perfect.)

I might look up the supports later, or even try to get them to A to see them in game.

I also take advantage of Tana being next to Ephraim to give her a weapon from the convoy, but it turns out I have nothing but a steel lance, which is really not ideal.

I'll trade something better to her later. I also really need to hit up some shops after the map is done.

lol, here's Kyle getting attacked while asleep.

(The monk finally managed to hit Kyle with the last use of his sleep staff.)

Ross and sleeping Kyle are holding the line down below.

So we end up in this situation. Not bad! Artur is going to start us off by taking out the cav next to Ross.

Good job, Artur!

And I send Franz over to take care of the guy with the killer sword, and I realize he's much less of a threat than I thought.

If he crits, he'll do a WHOLE 3 DAMAGE to Franz.

Next time: Princess Peach starts training!
