"Like, Miss “I already sent my troops to conquer your lands even if you are not the one harbouring the evil lizard lady I’m trying to get rid off” would really stop her war of conquest if the evil lizard lady dies?" You could say Clout's reasoning smacks of naivete.

Clout? Reasoning?

lol

Imo, in GW, Clout is playing on levels after levels of PR (like an onion!), and this "let's kill Rhea so the war will stop" is imo a PR excuse to justify invading Faerghus and getting Rhea out of the board.

Now, why the hateboner for Rhea herself, your guess is as good as mine (at least Supreme Leader has her "negative views based on Rhea's race", but I don't know it that's any better...).

(ramblings about Claude/Clout under the cut)

Claude isn't stupid (uh...) and knows Fodlan created the locket and the Officers Academy to fight back invasions of Almyra, and yet he seems to really believe (in FE16 at least) that Rhea is the reason why Fodlan apparently doesn't like foreigners, before discovering water is wet.

Worst reading, but one I can get behind, is Claude doesn't understand and resents the fact that Rhea, who is not a head of state, is listened to and loved by the randoms in Fodlan, she can influence them (only when they want to be infuenced though!) and the CoS, as an institution, is part of Fodlan's history and DNA/backbone.

If Claude wants to shatter everything to bring a "new age" where Fodlan will welcome with open arms their very friendly Almyran neighbours, Rhea has to be "shattered" too.

Take VW's ending :

Country, faith, history... All that had once formed the order of the world was wiped clean. The heroes whose very hands saved Fódlan from a dark fate commenced with the building of a new society. The leaders of this new, unified Fódlan began their walk down a seemingly endless path—one towards a world that would cherish differences in race and belief, one where all life would be valued equally. Those leaders clung to the hope that their path would not end with Fódlan, that it would someday span the seas to Dagda, and beyond the Throat to Almyra...

You get rid of the old and existing society/structure, to build a new one, based on lofty ideals, sure, and yet, again, how can you cherish differences in beliefs in you wipe Fodlan's faith, aka the thing people believed in? What about their history and individualities/differences ? It's wiped clean too?

A bit like Tru Piss's mistranslated ending where people thought it will erase retroactively Faerghus from history books, are we supposed to understand , from this ending, that Claude will erase Adrestia, Faerghus and Leicester from memory?

And the ominous last paragraph, what does it mean, they hope to export their path of "wiping clean" the world of "country, faith, history" too?

If we take this reading, Rhea and the CoS are inherent parts of Fodlan's identity and History. If Claude wants a blank chessboard to play "melting pot" with and ultimately add it to his future pot including Almyra, Dagda and whoever else, Rhea and the CoS, but also, the different states from Fodlan, had to disappear. Supreme Leader helped him with the "get rid of 3 states" and arguably with Rhea's death, so in a way, Claude reaps what Supreme Leader started.

But not to MAGA, to create a new land encompassing everyone (whether they want it or not!) and being one of its heads.

This is, imo, the darkest take/reading on Claude's situation and plans, but bear in mind yellow units in FE Jugdral (the game tool inspiration from Jugdral per the devs!) are antagonists, add to that Nopes and even FE16's Claude who, albeit not on the level of Supreme Leader, keeps his plans to himself - and always mentions tearing down the "walls" that separate Fodlan from the outside world, without ever mentionning the fact those walls were built for some reason.

It's not important anyways, and if you think otherwise, it's because you were led to think otherwise, we should all be friends.

Sure, interacting with outsiders doesn't contradicts Seiros's tenets, but in the end, what is Claude saying?

If I can realize my dream, Fódlan will be reborn. The old age will end and we'll welcome a new dawn.

The current Fodlan, that is supposed to follow Seiros's tenets will... end? Seiros' tenets says something, but they still need to be ignored to build a new world that will promote the same thing those tenets preached.

Hm.

The issue, imo, isn't about what is being preached, but with the "Seiros tenets" in themselves.

#replies #anon #character rant #character salt #in a way the layers of PR and knowing when he's being true to his feelings makes him an interesting character #which is closer to Supreme Leader indeed #but just like her the fact no one challenges him is infuriating #just like the realisation he never trusts anyone #bar Billy and even this is very light #do you seriously think wiping history and faith can be done?#there's reason why Seiros the Warrior and the end of the WoH had to paint Nemesis and the Relic users as #not the people they were #tbh the ending mural made me reconsider a lot of stuff about VW and Claude's character in general #but maybe i'm off #fe16

So..Zoe gets to be openly gay but

Juleka and Rose and Marc and Nathaniel, who VERY WELL COULDVE BEEN MADE OPENLY GAY THIS ENTIRE FUCKING TIME.

Can't.

Okay, sure. And no little fuckin hints don't really count if the rando new character you shit out suddenly gets to do it.

Literally what has Zoe don't but EXIST for no actual reason?? She's every character rolled into one but she gets every storyline handed to her and rushed out of no where?? Tf. Make it make sense.

The only good thing she has is a cute character design, outside of her hero costume which is absolutely heinous.

#j.p speaks #her character irks me cuz it has NOTHING TO THE STORG #Shes just fuckin here to make chloe seem worse and idk??? be the new bee even though sabrinas there??#like..what does she add to anything #she has no special quality #shes exactly like marinette and rose #shes ig artistic but so is alix and marinette??#shes nice..SO IS EVERYONE ELSE #This character is boring and useless.#zoe salt #mlb writing salt #character salt #if she wasnt so fucking boring id care a smidgen

Which do you find it easier:

Salting on the characters

or

Redeeming them?

For me, it's not a question of which is easier, it's a matter of the character, the story, and the intent/purpose of the salt/redemption. The answer would change for different characters, and even the same character between two different stories. The other thing is that redemption doesn't really work without salt. @quickspinner put it really well when she said "it's pretty much impossible to separate salt from redemption. Like, there has to be some salt involved or you wouldn't think there was anything to redeem"

I also don't just do things for the sake of what's easiest (as anyone in the LBSC discord will know 😂). I put a lot of time and effort into my writing (with maybe the exception of some of the monthly ficlets because I try not to spend too long on those). So whether a character is being salted on or redeemed, if I'm the one writing it, I'm putting equal amounts of effort into both scenarios.

I could also go on about the term salt, and my thoughts on it. But that is a can of worms I don't want to open right now.

It's done! Everyone's having a good time playing games and nothing will ever be wrong :D

For anyone wondering where the Disney dudes are, Mickey and Donald are on a double date with Minnie and Daisy at Scrooge's bistro, while Goofy is catching a movie.

Do you have any theories on why KT, despite having a near-infinite amount of possibilities in regards to what Monica's personality could be like once they decided to turn her into an actual character in Nopes, went with “let's just make her a flanderized and gender-bent Hubert”?

hahaha,

There are few (very few!) things that make Monica sort of interesting - she's basically a noble from a lower house and has that stupid idea that apparently nobles are supposed to look after their people?? Lel - but it's drowned under oceans of Hresvelg Grey.

Maybe they wanted to make a nod at Faye or Tharja and gave Supreme Leader her own fangirl?

It's still disingenuous to call her a gender bent Hubert, because Hubert is much more than a Supreme Leader fangirl - he is basically the brains who has to make everything work when Supreme Leader says she'll do something (the War, taking care of the mole people, etc etc) - Hubert is the one who speaks and tells everything to Billy in CF - who they are working with etc etc - while Supreme Leader is Supreme Leader'ing.

Monica's more irrelevant to the plot!

RRR Drabble: Grounded

Sixer's note: This is a submitted work by an anon. The concept is a swap AU with "Raz's Regretful Realm" where the Aquatos went into the Meadow instead. I've already shared it with the Discord and... Okay, I usually put this note at the end of submitted works but I want people to... actually read this note. From what I gather, it seems to be an interpretation of Oleander's scene with Norma would have been in that. And it's a Dion bash fic. With an ending line that I really don't agree with. I want to state again that RRR is not intended to be a bashfic. The closest character I get to bashing within the fic is probably Ford. And even then, I want to humanize not demonize the other characters.

With that being said: here is what the anon wrote for this AU of RRR.

'When you're out!'. That line was a line of regret… he didn't want to see his mom's face. Donatella was known to be a bit… hotheaded. He could see what was going on. Frazie was disgusted, Mirtala had an expression of worry, and Queepie was confused. And the worst of all, his mom's eye was twitching, he could know what will happen, but he heard something different.

“Dionysus Aquato. I want to have a word with you.”

That was his father's voice. He knew that his father rarely is angered. But this wasn't ordinary anger… it was anger, disappointment, shock, disgust all mixed together.

“Dad I—” Dion stuttered.

“Now.” Augustus ordered. He grabbed his eldest son's hand. And angrily walked away from the family.

Dion could feel the disappointment his father had. What Dion did was wrong. But there was nothing he could right now…

“Are you proud on what you did young man?” Augustus asked as he let go.

“I… I didn't mean to…” Dion answered.

“You didn't? Or you did?” Augustus asked.

“I didn't dad! How the hell did I not realize that it could hurt him!” Dion shouted. His father's eye sharpened. “I… I mean, it was an accident.” Dion continued.

“If it was supposed to be an accident, then maybe you need to know that words can and will hurt.” Augustus explained.

“I know…” Dion responded sadly, he could've just apologized. But what can he do?

“Are you sure that you know?” Augustus asked.

“Yeah dad, I know… I didn't mean to hurt his feelings.” Dion responded.

“Are you really sure?” Augustus asked, Dion could sense the rage from that tone.

“Yeah dad, I am sure.” Dion sighed.

“Good. Cause you better make sure that you learned your lesson young man. You're grounded for a month.” Augustus replied.

Grounded. That word struck Dion right through the chest.

“Grounded!? But Dad I—” Dion responded wih shock.

“No buts young man, I want you to stay here and think about what you done… got that?” Augustus explained.

“Yes… sir.” Dion sighed. He saw his father walking away… maybe the Aquatos won't be better when Raz is out… maybe it would've been if Dion was out. And it would.
