Okkkk, done with the 12th month (aka goodbye Jeralt)

The fantasy action/adventure stuff continues apace. The Tomas/Solon thing was pretty smoothly set up, though I would say Monica/Kronya was much less so. She's mentioned like once, then gets one quick textbox of nothing on the stage immediately before the stabbening, so it really comes out of nowhere. It doesn't help that the cutscene is quite rough and doesn't really convey things too well.

Aside from that, we progress from Miklan turning into a monster while holding a Relic, to the Crest Stones being related to shapeshifting, to a mystery group who experiment on humans all the way to turning students into monsters with crest shards... and who also happen to be able to change their appearance. (Minor FE lore tidbit: in the old Archanaea games, there was a dragonkin who could shapeshift into other people. So this is all potentially part of the same experimentation.)

We also get into the mystery of Byleth's birth, but while Jeralt's diary makes it clear that he freaked out, Rhea herself doesn't come off as particularly ominous or suspicious. If anything, her reactions and the details that surface make her look burdened but not particularly culpable for anything. Actually, I am getting very attached to her. She's so pretty and so sad. Why can't I do her A rank? Why can't I S rank her on this route? :(((

The other major player is Claude, but... tbh I agree that the relationship with him feels weirdly floaty. If anything, I feel like it would at least be better if he said he had thought his dream might not even be possible, but seeing Byleth makes him feel like it might be achievable after all. At least it would add weight to it that way. As it is, the lack of anything concrete from him, along with his brown-nosing makes him come off as trying to manipulate Byleth more than forming a genuine connection.

The Golden Deer on the whole have a similar problem. They are nice kids, and the combination of their supports + paralogues does create a certain sense of community and group connection. I went around and listened to all their little dialogues about trying to comfort Byleth after Jeralt's passing... (Getting Leonie B rank immediately after tho... lol)

But it feels like there's a lack of some major anchoring event or cause to serve as the focal point, presumably because no one in the class can really interact with the plot and they're too disparate to share a similar broad motivation. Like, I don't instinctively reject their promise to meet in five years, at the Millennium Festival, but I can't say I'm all that invested in it either.

It also really doesn't help that the writers didn't bother fleshing out some of them. A lot of them cross the line from having traits that strongly influence them to having 2 jokes that they repeat in every support. Disappointing but unsurprising, it happens especially prominently with the commoner characters.

And again, liveblogging notes:

Rhea is so unsubtle about Flayn, "your... sister is like family to me," if we ever thought Flayn was really Seteth's sister lmao

And then Lysithea is like "she looks my age but seems so much older!" when she herself gets accused of acting too mature several times. lmao they were not subtle At All

Immediately after Tomas jumpscare, we get a required chain of dialogue highlight how he's so sus, he's been asking about Flayn before he knew she was missing, he was asking about Byleth and Jeralt too, he directly calls you out for finding him suspicious and tries to handwave it with "oh, I was just curious" aka the weakest excuse ever

I keep killing the other enemies before getting to Death Knight. Twice now! It's so rude because I didn't know he'd teleport out if I killed some other dude? Lysithea could one shot his ass, damn I'm not redoing that stage tho

At least I finally managed to grind out enough Armor to recruit Ferdinand. His C support is really funny because he wants to talk about what you think of Edelgard, but like... I've seen her like twice. I don't care, dude.

They mention that Byleth has started smiling twice in a row. This writing is not subtle lol

eeeeey got a paralogue AND a relic

Several mentions of Almyra, and these proper nouns are finally starting to sound a little more familiar. I have almost all C ranks and it's getting into the B ranks now.

Claude brings up wanting to use the Sword again. He's really hung up on that.

When Byleth suddenly falls over in the Remire month, Sothis mentions that she's felt dizzy before, but I can't remember what this might be referring to. She later says the feeling is very familiar, so it seems to be related to her? Mysterious.

Lysithea casually drops that she has multiple crests in conversation. We haven't discussed this before....

Claude points out that the Crest Stones on the Relics have the images of the associated Crests. He doesn't seem to know what Crest Stones are, though he knows the name.

He finds a picture of the Immaculate One and notices it might have a Crest Stone on it, linking it to the ability to transform. Which is... not incorrect.

Claude directly confronts Seteth about his censorship. Claude is so fond of the bludgeoning approach to conversation.

Monsters attack merchants all the time (at least in Alliance). Generally, monsters don't just occur naturally in FE settings, but I guess it's just a thing in Fodlan? These do seem to be mutated animals (holding "Dark Stone") rather former people, I suppose.

I actually kind of like Raphael. I wish his writing wasn't so much 2 jokes though.

Raphael and Ignatz paralogue suggests that Lorenz's dad got the "previous Duke Reigan" killed but like... the current Duke is Claude's grandfather. It seems like this is referring to Claude's uncle, but he's other times referred to as the previous heir, so...

Incidentally, two merchants were killed along with this previous Duke, who were Raphael's parents and went instead of Ignatz's parents by chance.

Claude describes his father as "extravagant" and his mother is apparently like a warrior goddess. She seems to be able to back it up, including getting into a fistfight with a famous warrior.

He's not very subtle about hiding his background. Like, bro, if you talk about having a combat instructor who has won a hundred battles, that's... not normal....

That reminds me of Claude expecting Cyril to recognize him. They don't have TV, so how would a regular commoner kid recognize the crown prince on sight? Does Claude's portrait get passed around? Is he Almyra's top bachelor of the younger generation? Or is he just that out of touch?

Solon was at the monastery specifically to get Flayn's blood. The Agarthans need it for their plans.

Flame Emperor jumpscare lol

Edelgard says she would have totally stopped Solon's experiments if she knew, promise. And smoothly goes into pointing out what a threat the Agarthans are.

Jeralt suggests running away from Rhea was a mistake. Claude suggests that maybe exposing the church's secrets might not be for the best.

Apparently Jeralt had told Byleth they were born after he left the monastery.

Tomas joined the monastery 40 years ago, then left 8 years ago, and returned 1 year ago. He was recommended by House Ordelia. Jeritza was recommended by the Imperial nobility.

Seteth and Flayn's paralogue is kinda... weird if it happens before the war.

Flayn B theorizes that maybe she and Byleth are related, it's possible given "everything Rhea has done." But Seteth doesn't know what could possibly be up with Byleth, so...

Getting both Claude B and Leonie B right after Jeralt's death is... sure a ride.

tbh the cutscene for Jeralt dying was kind of unimpressive.

Fun fact: it seems like you have to choose the Dancer on the very first weekend of the month, and it no longer works on subsequent weekends. Guess who overwrote their only save of that by accident. No dancer in this run, I guess.

babygirl, what’s your name?

As the most successful scammers of the group, “Marth” and “Roy” are your biggest targets. A chance encounter in a large town brings you face to face with the two, but things turn complicated when a crowd forms in support of the imposters. A gaggle of fans proudly support these “down-to-earth princes”, viciously defending them against your supposed slander. Try as you might, just one sensuous “babygirl” from Marth is enough to rally the crowd against you. The puffed-up “Roy” goes as far as to say they are undefeatable in their strength and purity of heart… but can they prove it? [Grants Sword +1]

The two men have evaded the church’s grasp for sometime, imitating two of her students to unscrupulous ends. Finally, they are caught between herself and Edward in the middle of town. Elincia shoots him a pleased smile, proud of their efforts and teamwork. Yet a crowd draws closer with every second, enthralled and enchanted by the pair of scoundrels. Do they not yet realise the danger they pose? How they besmirch the good name of two honourable young gentlemen?

“Leave our princes alone!” shouts a young woman, and Elincia turns her head in confusion.

“But Marth is Archanaea’s king, these men tell you naught but falsehoods.” She pinches her brow, taking a deep breath to calm herself. “Their deception and racketeering has led innocent people to bankruptcy. They must be stopped!”

“Babygirl, must we fight them?” The man who is very much not Marth asks in a voice barely above a whisper. The crowd starts squealing in a bizarre display of delight. She looks to Edward, puzzled by the response as the arrogant, imposter Roy threatens them with his infinite strength. Her hand twitches, the instinct to grasp Amiti’s hilt in defence almost irresistible but something else troubles her deeply.

“Babygirl? No! Absolutely not! How dare you call yourself pure of heart if you’re willing to drag an innocent child into a fight! A baby, too! A defenceless little baby. You should be ashamed!”

Legendary!Marth/Adult!Tiki C-A Support

Written by @ragingfe

C SUPPORT

Marth: I never thought something could ever surprise me again. But coming to another world? That is something I truly never expected.

Tiki: *snores*

Marth: Ah, it appears another hero is resting. I should probably go to another area.

Tiki: *yawns* Hm? Is that…?

Marth: Ah, you’re awake. Do you need any help?

Tiki: Oh! I didn’t expect to see you here.

Marth: I’m sorry? I don’t think we’ve met before.

Tiki: Oh, we have. *giggle* It’s just been a long time for me.

Marth: For you? I don’t…

Tiki: Do I have to spell it out for you, Mar-Mar?

Marth: Mar-Mar? Wait… Tiki?

Tiki: Yup, it’s me! Nice to see you again.

Marth: You’re so old! How did you get so old?

Tiki: I was summoned from 2000 years after your time.

Marth: R-really? That’s… incredible.

Tiki: Not for me. After you live for such a long time, you find things that don’t really make sense.

Marth: Wow, so long after I… I’m sorry I left you, Tiki.

Tiki: Oh, it’s fine. I’m a bit like Ban-Ban now, I suppose. I simply treasure the time I had with you all. It was wonderful.

Marth: I’m glad you think so highly of me after two millenia.

Tiki: Ah, but I’m getting caught up in my memories. How about we talk about you, hmm?

[Marth and Tiki have reached support rank C.]

B SUPPORT

Marth: You seem almost… otherworldly now, Tiki.

Tiki: Oh? What makes you say that?

Marth: You seem to have this… presence, I suppose. You just give an aura of… I don’t even know. You just feel above everything.

Tiki: Oh, I assure you I’m not. I still have my vices. I still hate being alone for long periods of time, though I can do it by just casting those feelings aside.

Marth: You can just do that?

Tiki: After 3000 years of being alive, a lot of things that seem impossible become so.

Marth: Could you teach me?

Tiki: Hm? Why would you want that?

Marth: Even after two wars, I still feel completely inadequate. My home was captured twice, once when I was powerless, and the next when I had all the power. Being able to cast aside these feelings, I feel I would be much better as a king.

Tiki: Oh, Mar-Mar, that would be cruel.

Marth: Why?

Tiki: Then you wouldn’t be you, Mar-Mar. You wouldn’t be the kind prince who saved Archanaea through the power of belief, or be the man that Cee-Cee fell in love with.

Marth: Wh-why are you bringing Caeda into this?!

Tiki: Because it makes you embarrassed. *giggle* And also because it is integral to humanity that they feel strongly. Dragons are stagnant by nature, never changing with the ages. Humans are incredibly adaptable, and their constant growth is integral. Those feelings inspire the growth that comes with you all.

Marth: Tiki, you… Hahaha!

Tiki: What’s so funny?

Marth: Hearing that from the child who named me Mar-Mar on a whim is not something I ever expected to hear!

Tiki: Well, considering I was a child, that makes sense. I grew up. I also just generally paraphrased my mother on all of that. She likes to go on about it.

Marth: Y-your mother?! As in Naga herself?!

Tiki: Yes, I do mean Naga. Again, I have practically infinite time to learn these things.

Marth: I shudder to fathom what else you’ve learned…

[Marth and Tiki have reached support rank B.]

A SUPPORT

Marth: Tiki, are you happy?

Tiki: Hmm? What do you mean, Mar-Mar?

Marth: You’ve seen so much and lived so long. Seeing all of us pass on, as you stayed a child…

Tiki: Oh, Mar-Mar, I am wonderfully happy.

Marth: You said that you cherished our time together, right? Do you remember all of it?

Tiki: Very much so. Dragons have near perfect memory. And even though your loss hurt at the time, I moved past it and have been living on in the world the Archanaeans and the Valentians created.

Marth: Valentians?

Tiki: Oh, had you not heard of the war in Valentia? It’s just as legendary as your battle with Medeus!

Marth: Really? I wonder what they did…

Tiki: King Alm and Queen Celica are here in Askr, you know. You could just ask them. Or the Whitewings. They traveled overseas as well!

Marth: Maybe I should. It certainly would be a curious conversation!

Tiki: I’m sure they would find it quite enlightening as well. The world you all created is wonderful, and the people living in it live up to all your legacies. That is more than enough for this old woman.

Marth: O-old? You look like you’re 24 years old!

Tiki: I feel much older than what my actual age entails for a dragon.

Marth: I suppose that makes sense. I certainly feel much older than 20…

Tiki: But not too old to do this!

[Tiki jumps on Marth’s back.]

Marth: Wha- hey Tiki! What are you- waaah!

Tiki: I’m not that heavy, Mar-Mar! Carry me to victory!

Marth: I don’t even know where victory would be!

Tiki: Wherever you go, I shall be victorious!

[pikespendragon67]

Could someone please help me by giving a synopsis of Jugdral lore? Specifically: how the 12 Heroes play into the lore and overall timeline (because I know for sure Naga was there), as well as which Jugdral nations correspond to which Archanaea/Valentia ones. The Wiki's not the best at explaining in a way I can understand. Many thanks!

[crystalelemental]

Awakening got me into the franchise so I have a soft spot for it but they did this banner so dirty like can they not shill 3h for five minutes? I like 3h too, don't get me wrong. But I would have been fine with the banner being plegia themed if they did Awakening characters. I'm almost okay with the Archanaea characters bc technically its the same continent or whatever (and I thiiink Judgral is too but idk). But Dorothea is just in it for the tiddy dollars and Raphael is there because. Uh. Himbo rights? Either way they took what I thought was gonna be a neat concept (once someone brought up the plegia theme idea bc of the grima bow silhouette) and just. Didn't use it well. Sorry for complaining at you but you're someone I see in the heroes tag pretty often lol

Welcome to the Saltfort, anon. We accept all complaints here.

Yeah, it’s a disaster. Like, they didn’t even shill Three Houses right. Marianne could’ve at least salvaged the CYL outcome, but now we’re fucked because they went with an awkward theme and put in Raphael for some reason. So okay. I guess this is just what we have to live with now. Thanks, IS. A weird banner no one likes, and it killed Brave Eirika, all in the same move.

At least I got Sara.

[jojolightningfingers]

10 20 30?

10 got answered in a different ask, so!

What’s your favorite minor character you’ve written?

is this minor character as in 'minor in my fic' or 'minor in the thing i am making fic of'? Either way it's probably Edorad and Shawlong in to skin a cat. Edorad is a little arrogant, a lot practical, and surprisingly respectful for a Hollow. Shawlong is even more so and I look forward to writing him in the second chapter.

Tell us an idea for a longfic you want to write in the future.

ok, ok, so, i've actually been slowly chipping away at a longfic for the last [checks clock, winces] five years now that explores Ike at the end of Radiant Dawn. it STARTED with me being like 'ok so wait, how the fuck does Ragnell get to Archanaea in Awakening, that is a whole ass different continent from Tellius' and it. just. snowballed from there into me sending Ike on a continent-spanning soul-search as a way for me to dig into the reasoning behind why Ike leaves Tellius in the first place (and also a VERY thin excuse for me to worldbuild the crap out of my favorite fire emblem game). Just the outline is like, six pages long. If this thing ever gets done it's going to be MONSTROUS.
