[loregoddess]

why does art have to be so art

[space-spring]

For the fandom ask meme, TriStrat for 15, 19, and 22?

Yayyy thanks so much for the ask!!!!! <3

15. Is there something I wish someone would draw as a fanart?

I'm always psyched to see stuff with any of the Avlora + Maxwell + Cordelia + Roland crew!! I don't really know of anything super specific outside of that hahaha. Tbh 90% of the reason I don't post more art myself is that coming up with art ideas is something that takes me approximately 2-3 business weeks under the best of conditions and even then it's usually just the character in a generic pose lol. I am continually amazed by how galaxy-brained other people are with all the different things they come up with :)

19. Favorite headcanon

Oooh one thing I like to think happens post-golden route is that Cordelia eventually takes over for Svarog as the governor of the Aesfrosti territory. There are a lot of different layers to this in my head that I feel like I can't totally explain right, but mostly I think it'd be interesting from a political standpoint (how much is Roland exerting control over Aesfrost? how would Aesfrost react to having Cordelia installed as a ruler over them? what steps would the Glenbrook crew have to take to make the transition a smooth one?) and from a personal one on Cordelia's end (how would she feel about Aesfrost at that point after everything that happened with Gustadolph? how do the Aesfrosti treat her and how does she feel about them treating her that way? would she and Svarog get along? how does she feel about finally getting a true, unconditional leadership role? does she consider it an unconditional leadership role or does she feel like Roland/others are still the ones in control?).

I also think it's fun from an Avlora perspective because I have Avlora brainworms bc I think Avlora in-game really comes to like Glenbrook + the people she meets there, but I also feel like she'd always struggle with some of the cultural differences and. maybe also the fact that most people there probably still hate her guts a little bit. It'd be interesting to see her return there and deal with everything she left behind. (are the Aesfrosti also mad at her for jumping ship at the end? Or do they still respect her the way they used to? How does Svarog feel about her? How much would she know about the diplomatic scene in Ironstone + how much would she try to help Cordelia out with the administrative side of it all vs. just keeping herself to a militaristic role?)

22. How I would describe the fandom to someone who is not in it

I've explained it to a few different people, and depending on how familiar they are with fandom stuff and tumblr specifically, I usually kind of start with that whole "tumblr is like a big auditorium where occasionally someone holds up a picture and a few people will clap," but then I explain that for tri strat the auditorium is more like a small library room with a handful of people sitting around a folding table and we all more or less know each other by name. Overall very small and chill as far as fandoms go :)

I wish there was a way to lurk on twitter + other social medias without an account. I just want to stay updated about official TriStrat/8path/Bravely and lurk for fanart to bookmark.

But nooooooo. You must make an account to even view anything meh.

I’ve been playing Triangle Strategy and I LOVE it so much. Here’s a collection of various doodles featuring some of the cast. 

I love Frederica and Serenoa so much. And unsurprisingly, I love Corentin the ice mage guy. His cutscenes with Erador are amazing.

PLAY THE GAME!! It’s brought me so much joy (and pain) this last month.

7, 8, 15, and 21 for the love your fandom ask game (any fandom/media that you feel like talking about)

7. your favorite tropes to read/write/draw

Probably familial hurt/comfort, especially sibling hurt/comfort or just sibling hurt, tristrat liberty ending haha

I just in general tend to gravitate familial relationships over romantic ones haha.

8. you hope more people will come to appreciate ___ (a ship, a trope, an episode, etc)

avwell

Though in all seriousness I can't really think of one at this time. Like outside of Avwell I pretty much only ship canon, shoved in your face ships, and most tropes I like are fairly popular haha.

9. the character that always makes you smile

I mean, the obvious answer is Roland Glenbrook, but I also really like Yew Geneolgia a lot even if I haven't interacted with bravely a lot recently haha

Like, lookit him! Baby son boy :D. I love seeing both official and fanart of him haha.

15. a fandom you're not active in anymore but that you still really like

Probably Splatoon. I still love the game wholeheartedly but it's often the fandom of mine I tend to be the least active in largely due to me kinda being on-off playing it bc I need the right mindset for multiplayer.

Though I'll probably get a burst of activity once Side Order releases.

Triangle Strategy spoilers!

Just finished playing the Golden route! Finally got my happy ending ;w;

If they showed us more about the wedding I would cry lol but yeah, I was so happy!! I know maybe this ending is too optimistic, but after seeing the other endings, I don't care lol

Also, I saw this and I'm like Anna is so short? kdjfkdj She looks like a child

Or Benedict is too tall? I wish we had the height chart for all of them, didn't know Serenoa is also higher than Frederica (in my head they had the same height)

I was wondering if they would reunite, I was happy that they did! Of course I would prefer like a scene where they meet again and talk "hey I'm your mother" (and I was expecting something like this in the battle with Lyla, but the dialog was kinda vague). And now I feel kinda bad for killing her in Frederica's route ops But Anna can still adopt Quahuag, she already got Decimal adopted lol I think I missed the final side story of him, but it's okay I think

I really liked the part that Serenoa finds another path option; I tried to think for myself what the solution would be, and I was pretty satisfied with the plan!

He looks so sad and small lol

The part where they divide the regiments caught me off guard; at first I was in panic, because I was so used to my favorite units, that I wasn't sure if I would succeed in the battles. Not knowing how they would go, which characters would fit the best the strategy and not being able to change them later got me nervous lol but I tried to balance all regiments (put at least one mage in each, one archer, etc) and leveled up the characters I didn't like to use that much (and later realize some were great actually!). The Frederica's regiment was the one without a unit, I never got to recruit Cordelia, so If I replayed the game again in the future, I would go for her! But the Benedict's battle was the hardest, at least I knew a strategy that would work best because of that one battle in the first chapters of the game.

And I really like how the battles went! I liked that even I couldn't edit the units, if you got a good strategy, you can work it out! I think I just didn't like that I couldn't edit the rings each character got (like Benedict had one that I wished to remove and give to a character in another regiment, so yeah makes sense we couldn't do this). Anyway I was happy to get out of my comfort zone for a bit!

The revelation of the hierophant was a little weird for me, because I already didn't expect it to be a person lol actually I didn't even think something was behind the curtain lmao to see it was a robot was the least of my problems. The battle against Idore was way harder on Frederica's route, this one was pretty okay after I killed all the automatons. I liked that all the characters had something to say to him lol

Overall, I really really enjoyed this game! I like tactics and political games like Fire Emblem, but I liked this even better; it feels more realistic, the gameplay is harder too (at least for me that likes to over level my units, TriStrat said I couldn't lol), the fact you have to make decisions all the time and they all have consequences is pretty nice and made my anxious lol convincing the others to vote for the path you wanted made me feel good lol I was a little afraid of playing this because I didn't like Octopath Traveler that much, so it was a great surprise for me! :D

I haven't done Benedict or Roland's route yet, but now I'm at 100 hours and I feel I must play another game right now lol and I don't know if I have the heart to do them actually lol I want to make some fanart aaaa I already read lots of fanfic, avoiding spoilers, but now I'm free lol

Realizing that the anniversary for one of my favorite video games is coming up and thinking maybe I should draw something for it then remembering how much I hate the fandom for the game/series and thinking I'll be happier just drawing tristrat fanart or oc art instead.
