Top 20 2021

My Favorites (updated)

Hello my readers, it’s been a while since I just posted something not related to a headcanon and I am doing one right now. I just wanted to take a bit of a break to just get SOMETHING on here on my days off work. Plus I’m just trying to find my groove when it comes to writing again so hopefully this helps me just get back into the mood of making a post more often lol. I wanted to revisit this topic for a while just because we’ve had a lot more events and a lot more alts in the game were added. And I know for a fact LifeWonders reads these posts in some capacity because I have meme’d an AR into the game with my top picks from the last list I did for Christmas 2019. No I didn’t. I’m just joking around and I know LifeWonders doesn’t read this.

Anyways rather than just make up a list on the spot like last year I decided to use the Housamo Sortmaker (Link: https://club.housamo.xyz/sortmaker/ ) to try and make a list that’s more revealing to what I was thinking at the time. Since I talked about 20 characters ish last time I’m just gonna read from my 20th place to my 1st place spots and try to justify whatever I was thinking at the time. Anyways-

20: Marchosias and Susan: This one was a surprise for me if I’m being honest but I’m just gonna blame the fact on Shukou’s recent involvement with LifeWonders in the form of Live A Hero and how Ryekie and Mokdai live in my headspace rent free whenever I think about the characters in that game. Maybe we can see about getting some LAH headcanons since that’s a LifeWonders property too). So out of all the characters Shukou drew for Housamo why did I pick Marchosias? Easy, it’s been 4 years and this poor man has yet to receive a proper alt or any kind of skin for that matter and I think that it’s a crime. Sure he’s not my favorite but he’s definitely grown on me because he’s just a gentle dad kind of character and his design has grown on me over the years. I just hope he doesn’t get left behind since he has a lot of really interesting and potential things to look forward to in the future given how the main story has unfolded.

19: Shiva/Algernon: The helmet heads are together because DAI XT quickly became my favorite artist for Fire Emblem Heroes and I really just like their designs. DAI XT just knows how to draw robots, armor and muscles well. Also Chapter 11 with Shiva you can read into some interesting perspectives. I don’t want to spoil any of the untranslated content for anyone who’s waiting for the official english translation. But if you are curious Roureem has a blogspot where he posts summaries of the newly released events.

18: Cthugha: I love this goober so much. He’d constantly try to act super sentai just trying say good morning everyday. He may not be very bright but that just adds to his charm and honestly I enjoy how he always tries to play the hero in a lot of scenarios because it’s refreshing when they implement him after a bunch of heavy hitting story stuff. I’m not gonna spoil too much about it but I will say he’s more than welcome after everything Chapter 10 and 11 put the reader through.

17: Mineaki: I’ve made a post about him being one of my least favorites way back when I first started this blog and let me just say how times have changed and I’ve learned the value of not judging a book by it’s cover. I still think there’s something a bit off about Kowmei’s style for his characters, but Mineaki has definitely grown on me. He’s a caring instructor who does watch out for his students even if it’s not always in the most direct way possible. Not to get into too many spoilers he’s got a lot of intrigue around him as well and I am curious to see his role get expanded down the line.

16: Ded: Housamo is the reason I really like christmas. The Christmas stories despite following a similar structure to each other do tend to be my favorite stories. Ded himself is also just another good dad character. He’s also two guys for the price of one, so I mean… you know… you’ve got the forever ask your other dad situation. There wasn’t much thought put into this choice I just like santa as a concept because I think the outfits are cute, it’s always nice to get something for people you care about on Christmas and Ded is the perfect embodiment of both sides to Christmas.

15: Shinya: Everyone we need to manifest buff Shinya for 2021, this is not a drill. This is legitimate. We must make Taromati’s and my wish come true. To be more serious again he’s just a sweet and gentle character. He’s also drawn by my favorite Housamo artist. Their characters always just look so naturally good. I’m just surprised he hasn’t gotten much of an alt given he’s perfect material for Valentine’s day. He’s just a soft boy and I would love for him to be in more things because I just enjoy seeing him.

14: Jacob: I have to be honest Jacob is on here because every time I look at him he just gets more handsome to me. I wasn’t all that impressed with his introduction and we don’t know much about his background but I’ve just been drawn to him more and more. Maybe it’s just because he’s drawn by GomTang? I just like looking at him and I can’t help it. To speak a bit less crass he’s another gentleman kind of guy and those are always nice.

13: Shennong: Yeah I like the doc a lot. Firstly, I’m a huge sucker for big bulls and Shennong fits the bill. The white fur really adds to his appeal visually and the purple horns give off a bit of an unnatural appearance. Shen feels like someone who’s been touch starved and alone for a long time given how he acts as a character and when we actually hug him I just lost it. He always has others well being on his mind so he’s not afraid to jump in and help, or give a much needed lecture about when you need to take better care of yourself. He just comes across as very well balanced overall.

12: Heracles: I won’t lie- at first he didn’t interest me much. He looked incredibly plain when among the rest of the cast and he seemed like the typical “bait” character since the banner had Echo, Barguest, Gyumao and Snow. But after reading the translation for Valentine Time Slip I was taken aback at how much of a gentle giant he turned out to be and I just really liked his interactions with the others in that event. And honestly his special quest from that year was one of the more unique ones given the slower pace and more romantic vibe it had. After the event warmed my heart I did a complete 180 and I just knew I really liked him.

11. Yasuyori: Before I start praising him I feel I have to justify why he didn’t quite make top 10 and it will have some mild Chapter 10 spoilers. To be as vague as possible his resolution just didn’t vibe with me at the end of Chapter 10. Like it wasn’t a bad resolution and it was the right choice to make but in my opinion there really wasn’t a moment I felt was clear where he made a choice for himself. Everything just sort of happened around him and it felt like he didn’t really do much to improve his situation. To an extent I kind of see that being the idea given his origins and the story he’s based on and there is some semblance of him coming to terms with himself alongside his isolation being portrayed pretty well, but I just wasn’t satisfied with it as much as I would like to be. With that out of the way, oh my god I just want this boy to never stop smiling and I just want to give him hugs constantly please he just deserves to be happy!!! Yasuyori is a character who’s got a lot of baggage and he’s just trying to find ways to properly cope with his trauma and not repeat past mistakes and I just really like that idea. His role in Xmas 2020 (sorry I just forgot the name of that event, but its when he gets his alt) was a much better representation for his character in my eyes. I’m not gonna spoil anything like I keep saying but he isn’t one to disappoint in future appearances and I just hope this lovable lug keeps getting the support he deserves.

10: Hephaestus: A spicy way to start the latter half of the list. I just want to give this lad a hug and tell him he is worthy of love. But at the same time he is a little shit… and I love that. I can’t fully explain why I grow a paternal instinct in me seeing this grown man sob about his mother but I just do. I want to keep him safe and give him all the affection he wants. Though I am aware a lot of Hephaestus’s interest in his parental figure is… questionable. I am just gonna say I would accept his love for what it is and he just wants approval.

9. Shuten: I’ll be honest I have no proper reason for why I like Shuten so much. He’s just a cool and reliable guy. He just seems like a go with the flow kind of person most of the time and he’s a bit more direct than most of the characters which I always appreciate. Plus I have an unspoken bias for naop guys in Housamo.

8. Durga: While not number 1 on this list, I still really like Durga. She’s quirky but not to an annoying degree, she’s determined and definitely very confident in her own abilities. Her growing to be more sociable throughout her events is something I enjoy seeing because it really creates this sense of growth.

7. Kyuma: I get a lot of people don’t like Kowmei’s art but I really think we should look past it because Kyuma is one of the sweeter picks. He’s someone who just wants to prove himself for his own worth and not what David can provide, but David is part of him and it just creates the potential for a good arc. Plus this boy is unintentionally smooth and will just take your heart when possible. I honestly want to see Kyuma more in events because he’s honestly the jock that carries 3 of the 4 brain cells. He’s also the last one without an alt so I’m just hoping he gets one in 2021 because he really deserves one in my opinion. (Also fan art makes him really cute).

6. Tomte: Tomte is relatively new but honestly his event in 2019 really endeared me to him. I’m trying to be spoiler free because the best way to enjoy these stories is for yourselves but let me just say his arc in the event was really endearing to me and much more than I was expecting. His fan service is also incredibly hammy and I love it. Visually Tomte is one of my favorites, I love his multi colored hair and starlit pupils cuz it makes his otherwise more generic look have some flare. I knew I liked him out the box and when I read about him in the summaries and can’t wait to read the official translation for him. I was just very endeared.

5. Tetsuya: Tetsuya fucks. Moving on…

Jokes aside this one’s a bit simple. I have no shame in admitting I think he’s attractive and his whole resistance towards wanting a relationship is cute in a weird roundabout way. When he says no I just want it MORE. I just really like duo haired tsunderes.

4. Kengo: Kengo 3rd alt 2021. Please LifeWonders I need my favorite Summoner. He’s a bro and that’s what counts. Kengo has got your back, not afraid to rely on you, a very fun and dynamic guy. Sure he’s not that bright when it comes to making plans or any book smart, but there are times where he’s the best at being able to read the room or just understand what someone needs to hear even if it isn’t always what someone wants to hear. His bullheaded nature is actually one of his redeeming qualities because it’s nice to just not overcomplicate things and just understand what’s actually going on. Yes the early story didn’t do many favors for him but to me the events, especially the later ones, do much more work for his character. To me, at least.

3. Ashigara: Ashigara is best bear, and I will defend that stance in 2021. The main thing that draws me to Ashigara is that I can see a bit of myself in him. He gets very emotional when he gets left alone, he’s very loud when with his friends, has a tendency of speaking his mind- just someone who wears his heart on his sleeve. I also appreciate that in spite of the negative he isn’t someone who backs down when the going gets tough and in a few instances he’s able to hold his ground physically at least.

2. Wakan Tanka: Love at first sight. This ray of sunshine still persists as the number 1 husband, but number 2 character. Firstly I am a huge fan of the partial beast aesthetic. The buffalo ears and the horns are absolutely adorable. Secondly he’s a perfect body type; he’s not too muscular but not exactly flabby. Third he is just so positive and I love that. He’s someone I admire and wanna hug.

1. Taurus Mask: The more things change the more they stay the same. I’m still a big Taurus Mask fan for all the same reasons as last time. I just… relate to this boy. He is an incredibly shy boy who uses his public persona for confidence. Maybe I’m reading too much into it but it’s like we’re soul bros!

So yeah, my tastes haven’t changed in a year and a half.

Falling Slowly

CAN WE TALK ABOUT THIS MAN?!?! He is not dead but I just want to talk to you about him.

He is one of a handful of people that have been through a lot with me. His name is Febi Ary R., he hates it when people call him Febi for quite some time because it’s “a girl’s name” but then he just giving up correcting people because who wants to call him Ary anyway.

I met him in my first year of junior high. We were in one orientation group and the first thing he said to me was “oh my God that dude is annoying, isn’t he?” I’m not sure he even realize saying that or even remember it, but from that moment I knew I should be friend with this guy.

Can we all just agree that junior high school is the worst year for everybody??? I’m one of those underdog kid and he basically the cool kids. So it’s obvious that we will never talk ever. However, that is not the case.

2 years after that, in out final year, we went to this academic course institution and turns out, we were in the same class along side three girls. The minute I heard that he will be in my class I was like “Holy shit that dude!!! He is so cool I’m sure it’s gonna be awk.” But apparently he was (and is) nice! Little did he know that I’m obsessed with him so whenever he talked to me I feel so happy. yeah I’m dork like that.

We bound really close. We are so close that Febi’s friends were jealous with me and one of the girls in out course class, Dita.

Oh the thing about us, we always have another friends. He had his own group and so did I. Back in the final year of junior high we were not even greet each other in school hallway. We talked about it, and we agree it’s just too weird to do the greeting stuffs. But in high school we occasionally said hi to each other and in college we basically know each other friends so that’s good.

I don't know if you’ve picked up on this but I could be quite melodramatic. And me 7 years ago is... A bitch. Seriously, if you wrong me even just a little I’ll tweet about how jerky you are and I’ll tell the world how awful you are. For real, I’d punch 7 years ago me if I could because my dear God he is so fucking dumb. And despite those things, Febi still choose me as one of his closest friend. And have I told you that Febi is that type of guy who is cool, has a deep hobby of motorcycle, and no drama? And look at me, and then look at him, and then me again. It’s a miracle that he choose to stick with me and patiently stand by side although I could be quite a b.

Don’t get me wrong, our friendship also has its on and off moment. There was a time when I thought “this is it, our friendship just dried out.” But then, recently I just realize that he might be the best thing that ever happen in my life.

Wait pause, if you have read my previous post you’ll know how... bad I am at choosing companions. So right now I try to put every friendships into low maintenance. I won’t force anyone into anything but I won’t let go either, get it? Yes. Okay continue.

Febi had his thesis defense last week, September 8. We come to each other thesis defenses (by we I mean me, Dita, and Febi) and of course I came to his. I asked him if I could sit-in in his defense room because you see, he is my role model when I was 14 (sort of) and I want to see how good he is and how good I am to be able to graduate first. So I had to, right?! To my surprise once he was finished he said to me “I’m so nervous, and I only look at you and Dira (his girlfriend) to calm me down a bit and completely forget the existence of my other friends there” and I was like???? Am I your safe place kinda??? Because he did sit-in in my defense and boy let me tell you, I was wrecked. And yes, throughout my presentation my eye direction only to him and Adam (told ya he is in all my chapter of college life) to keep me going. And he embrace me, the thing that he never rarely done. I mean, oh my God!! I’m ded.

I don’t know man I mean I overlook him so much, he accept my worst, cherish my success, help me without hesitant, and hate the people who wrong me. But I never put him as my number one guy. And I feel so dumb about that.

Did you know, he scold me for hurting my ex-girlfriend feeling 7 years ago just like a big brother to his lil brother. But never hate me for being so stubborn to not to listen to him. Ironically, he is the last child in his family and I’m the first born.

Did you know, I had my first birthday surprise 7 years ago. It began with him saying my jacket is so cool that he want to borrow it (to save the jacket from whats to come he said) and I’m so proud because I do think that jacket is cool and then the rest of our friends pour eggs, flour, and water to my head. Damn, first birthday surprise! And damn you for manipulating me! But it’s all good I had my revenge a month later.

Did you know, 6 years ago he called me and said “you are my best friend, right?” in the middle of the traffic, I thought he was stopped by the police or something but turns out he just want to let me know that he finally in relationship with his girlfriend.

Did you know, 5 years ago I had this melodrama/depression episode and he said “You know I am here if you ever need me” and I almost cry. For a guy who hates drama you sure have potential to be in Grey’s Anatomy episode.

Did you know, 4 years ago my strict mom, who believe that 7 p.m. is past curfew, let me had dinner with him and be home at about 10 p.m.

Did you know, 4 years ago we had our first coffee, just the two of us spending time like brothers in my once-favorite coffee shop in town? And I still hate that coffee shop for renovated and lose its previous homey concept thus force me to lose the memory of it.

Did you know, about 2 years ago I had a problem with my motorcycle in a place with high crime rate (too dramatic? Maybe) and once I call him for help to solve the problem instead he insist to pick me up.

Did you know, last year we talked for more than an hour because he had a problem. We rarely called let alone talked for an hour.

Did you know, in my thesis defense day my parents went to Saudi Arabia to did Umroh and I ask his favor to take me to the campus. He immediately said yes and arrived 30 minutes early to make sure I won’t be panicked?

He never took me for granted. He always value me as a human being. He never once tried to pick up a fight with me although I always bitter, bossy, petty to him, and treat him like a shit! I mean, what did I do to deserve him really.

There is a song, when we had our coffee that is so soothing. I tracked the song and it titled Falling Slowly by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova. And I know it’s a small thing but idk I always linger to it.

My God, He is a brother that I wish I had, he is my ride-or-die, he helps me built my character to who I am now. His world and mine is so different but somehow, we become friends. And you know what the best part is? Maybe he only once called me his best friend (as far as I know) but my feeling to him is not one handed. Although I realize it too little too long. I love this guy and I hope that he always blessed by good things in life.

((I KNOW THIS POST IS CRINGY BUT WHATEVER))
