#people who like corrin because he is dumb and weird rise up

[lugiepie]

Hello. I guess my first ask ever goes to you?

I found your tumblr thru looking up stuff in the male corrin tag bc:

I dabble in smash bros (read: I am effing terrible at smash bros because I just started playing a few months ago),

I recently found out that this random character is not only has DRAGON powers but also has both male and female forms, thus making me

intrigued. I am very, very intrigued about this Corrin fellow. (and I like their male form a tad more than their female form too)

So, since I saw a post that you made over two years ago about this character indicating you found out about then thru smash too, I'm wondering if you have any recommendations about finding out more about them. Because I've been looking at it for a few hours now and I'm mostly just confused.

Note: I know nothing about Fire Emblem. I'm not really attracted to anime stuff either -- the closest experience I have with it is pokemon (which I adore because of aforementioned DRAGONS and various other wonderful creatures) -- (sidebar: pursuing your tumblr for more info and seeing your various art stuffs has been an absolute pleasure. Love the sense of humor).

(Hopefully I did this asking thing right, XD)

oh my hello!!!! glad you enjoy my stuff :) always nice to know that i can make people smile

as for finding a corrin encyclopedia? that’s a loaded question- i’d say play all three routes of fe fates, but since you’re not into that stuff i’m gonna instead recommend fe warriors (the first not, not the “new hopes” one that’s coming out later). it’s a bravest warriors game just with fire emblem, and although it’s definitely got some flaws in the wake of its story, it’s overall a pretty satisfying “kill hordes of enemies” game in my opinion. the character interactions are all very genuine too, and the supports between characters are pretty funny at times. also quick note, corrin himself kinda breaks a lot of well established fire emblem rules such as a.) half dragon that can transform into a full dragon somehow b.) uses more than one plot device in his quest and c.) is generally written very inconsistently and makes very dumb decisions in context because of it, hence why a lot of people don’t like him in the fe community. i mean he is as close as you can get to a mary sue in terms of fire emblem protagonists.

honestly though, if you don’t feel like playing a whole game, just try to find blogs that have content that appeal to you. i don’t follow any corrin blogs in particular (i just follow the male corrin tag) because truth be told both the fire emblem and smash community in the west don’t have as much of a liking toward our favorite manakete as they do, say, alm or lyn. i know this sounds like a cop out answer lol but i swear curating this stuff yourself and not just going off of what a random person on the internet says is so much more enjoyable in the long run. on that note, maybe i’ll post more corrin stuff because we do be living in a desert here chief.

though, just a quick note, actual canon corrin is more of a totally submissive pacifist who is afraid of hurting people and basically everything, and the way i portray him is more like “his initial adventure from fates is already over and he learned the hard way that sometimes hurting people is an unavoidable consequence when you’re dealing with literal war”, so he instead is much more mellowed out. and a dog because i think it’s really funny to have this grown man with dragon wings and a tail jumping on counters and just causing general chaos without realizing it lmao.

and yes, there is no wrong way to do an ask :) you could’ve sent me a picture of an overflowing trash can with a raccoon in the background and i would’ve answered it in full, welcome to the hellsite that is tumblr

Entry 15: Oops! All Supports #1

So, here’s the deal. This game has a lot of supports. Like, a lot. Doing four per chapter isn’t enough to get through them all. So, every couple updates, I’m going to start doing one of these updates where I just do ten random supports.

Support: Hayato/Sakura

C: Sakura offers Hayato some mochi. He says no, because mochi is for GIRLS and he’s a fucking five year old apparently. Sakura eats all the mochi.

B: Sakura gives Hayato some mochi and he reveals that he hides the fact that he likes sweets because he is a manly mature man who is an adult and not a child. The two of them agree to be pastry pals and hide the horrific fact that Hayato likes sweets from the rest of the army.

A: The two of them continue bonding over sweets. Sakura reveals that she hangs out with Hayato because there aren’t a lot of other kids in the army, a statement that is unfortunately false. Hayato comes out of the closet as a sweets lover.

S: You know how in most S-Ranks the characters get married? In this one they go to a bakery. Which is better, given that they are children, but it’s weird because the game now describes them as husband and wife and, spoiler alert, they immediately have a kid. A terrible kid who I hate. Also Sakura calls Hayato mature, which is ridiculous.

Review: Neither of these children should be in our army. Like, seriously, they act like little kids in this one. They work better as a couple with each other than other characters, because it’s less creepy, and the S-Support is cute, but goddamn Fire Emblem has a weird child soldier fixation.

Support: Corrin/Kaden

C: Kaden is hungry and Corrin gives him a candy. Kaden agrees to repay her by helping her go shopping.

B: They return from the market.

A: Kaden shows Corrin the cool kaleidoscope he bought.

S: Kaden proposes because he spent a single day with Corrin and is now obsessively in love with her.

Review: Kaden is a fun character, and that keeps this conversation from being too abysmal. It’s a low stakes fluff conversation with a tacked on romance, not good, but also not unexpected.

Support: Kagero/Takumi

C: Takumi is having trouble hunting when Kagero sneaks up on him. Kagero agrees to teach Takumi how to be stealthy so he can hunt better.

B: Kagero tells Takumi to sit under a waterfall to learn patience. Takumi complains. Kagero points out that Ryoma did her training without complaint, which activates Takumi’s inferiority complex and makes him do the training.

A: After training, Takumi points out that Kagero manipulated him by comparing him to Ryoma.

S: Takumi proposes to Kagero because she doesn’t sugarcoat things.

Review: This one is...fine. I don’t really have any strong thoughts towards it, to be honest.

Support: Azura/Silas

C: Silas approaches Azura about the fact that she is super suspicious, accusing her of being a spy. Which, to be fair, would be a fair assumption in Conquest.

B: Silas wakes up to find Azura standing over him and assumes she’s there to kill him. Azura reveals that she just killed the monster that snuck into our heavily guarded fort to eat Silas. Which is doubly ridiculous because Azura sucks at combat.

A: Silas says he’s sowwy.

S: The two of them reveal secrets: they have crushes on eachother.

Review: This support felt really short. Setting that aside, it’s completely average.

Support: Jakob/Orochi

C: Orochi gives Jakob a fortune. Her prediction? That Jakob sucks.

B: Orochi promises to give Jakob a fortune about Corrin, for reals this time. But first, Jakob needs to buy her a ton of expensive herbs.

A: Orochi gives a theatrical prediction, which scares Jakob into ordering her to not tell him the future.

S: Jakob asks Orochi to predict who he will marry: she predicts who you’d expect.

Review: Not bad; Orochi fucking with Jakob is fun.

Support: Saizo/Setsuna

C: After Setsuna crawls out of bed at noon, Saizo decides to train her to be a better retainer.

B: Setsuna explains that she is a moron who Hinoka basically babysits 24/7, exasperating Saizo.

A: Saizo, after talking to Hinoka and finding out that she likes Setsuna, gives up.

S: Setsuna, disappointed that Saizo has stopped training her, tells him that she wishes she could be as good of a retainer as him. Also she loves him. Saizo says he cares about her, not love specifically, and agrees to help train her.

Review: Setsuna is growing to be my favorite character. There’s just something hilarious about her being an airhead, especially when she’s paired with someone as straight laced as Saizo.

Support: Hinata/Hinoka

C: Hinata spots Hinoka training really intensely. She explains that she can’t rely on her retainers and dislikes relying on people.

B: Hinata monologues about what happened in the C-Rank conversation. Hinoka hurts herself while training and Hinata tells her she can rely on people.

A: Hinata points out that the two of them are companions who fight together and Hinoka and she begrudgingly agrees to lean on him.

S: Hinoka says she loves Hinata because he made himself available. Hinata accepts the proposal, which makes sense; she shares a lot of DNA with Takumi.

Review: This one was dull and repetitive. Hinoka needs to rely on people and stop pushing herself, repeated ad nauseum until she agrees.

Support: Azama/Oboro

C: Azama overhears Oboro talking to herself while cleaning and makes fun of her. Oboro gets pissed and scares him.

B: Azama makes fun of Oboro again, causing her to get angry and scare him off. Oboro asks him why he acts the way he does, intentionally being a dick to get a rise out of people, and he says he doesn’t know.

A: Azama is depressed because he can’t figure out why he’s so awful all the time. Oboro says she has an idea, and Azama calls her dumb a bunch. Oboro explains that Azama only knows how to relate to people by being mean, comparing him to a little kid.

S: Azama explains that he’s mean to Oboro because he has a crush on her and is apparently secretly a six year old, given his behavior. This also implies that he’s mean to everyone because he has crushes on them. Azama apologizes.

Review: This one had a good set up, delving into why Azama is such an asshole, but falters on the execution. He’s an asshole because...he’s an asshole. I do like the comparison between him and those boys who pull the pigtails of girls they like, but there isn’t an explanation of why this grown man acts like that.

Support: Kaze/Mozu

C: Kaze helps Mozu peel potatoes. He turns out to be really good at it, because Hoshidan ninja train by doing household chores. Kaze agrees to train Mozu to be better at potato peeling.

B: Kaze explains that potato peeling, like combat skills, requires practice.

A: The two of them have a potato peeling contest, which Mozu wins. Mozu admits that she feels out of place next to the others and wishes she was stronger.

S: Mozu makes Kaze potato soup, which is simple but comforting, just like her. Kaze says he loves her.

Review: Overall a fairly bland support line. That said, the fact that Hoshidan ninja do the whole wax-on/wax-off Mr. Miyagi Karate Kid shit is ridiculous and I love it.

Support: Hana/Kaden

C: Hana encourages Kaden to train more. Kaden points out that training too much will leave you exhausted during battle.

B: Kaden hurts himself during battle. Hana helps bandage him up and points out he should have trained more. Kaden reveals he got injured protecting a little birdie. Which is sweet, but also dumb.

A: Hana admits that Kaden is a kind person and Kaden admits he needs to train more.

S: Kaden beats Hana while sparring. He tells her he loves her because she forces him to confront his faults and pushes him to improve.

Review: This one was mediocre. It’s weird, it sets up both sides having a point in the C-Rank, then Hana is proving right when Kaden gets hurt, then the training argument is rendered meaningless when it’s revealed Kaden hurt himself for a bird.

Man, doing so many supports in one sitting burns you out. Overall, this game’s supports are rarely awful, but goddamn a lot of them are forgettable and bland. Of this lot, I’d say there were only three I liked (Kagero/Takumi, Saizo/Setsuna, Jakob/Orochi), and even then none of them were especially deep, just amusing enough to enjoy.

The Bachelor, Season 21 Episode #4

Like a phoenix rising from it’s ashes, I’m back to live-tweeting and regularly timed posts. My Bachelor caused phoenix tears are here to help heal Nick from his Bachelor sweats.

This week’s episode resumed from last week’s bouncy house drama with Corinne. The contestants continue with their slut-shaming and Nick just keeps getting dry-humped into oblivion and no one knows what is going on anymore. Corinne makes the perfect Reality TV villain, she’s the archetype “I’m not here to make friends” character. I could care less if she ends up dating Nick, odds are that the producers pushed him towards more “wife material” like Vanessa. Corinne is going to have a career within the Bachelor universe because she just doesn’t care. I’m on Corinne’s side, if I was on this show I would act just like Corinne. I would drink a ton of champagne, slur my speech, take excessive naps, complain about the dumb group dates and eat my well-deserved roses. She’s basically the “Chad” of this season, except without roid rage and cold cuts.

Because we’re a few episodes into this season, it’s time to start traveling to exotic locations. This week, Nick took the contestants to his hometown, the beautiful Waukesha, Wisconsin. On the one-on-one date, Nick and Danielle L. walked around town where he talked about being dumped and dumped and dumped again. For some reason, Nick and Danielle L. randomly ran into an ex and they actually sat down to talk to her, why did that moment even happen? It was so weird! They also made cookies and as Nick licked frosting off Danielle L’s finger, she said “Oh my god, your tongue is so black” as he leaned in, tongue first for a kiss. This is what I want people to tell me before they kiss me for the first time. 

For some reason, there are so many dates within the Bachelor/ette universe where a one-on-one date ends up in a very public space and some band performs a lip-synched song and they end up dancing in front of a bunch of people who all signed NDA’s.

The group dates continue to be the worst dates anyone could possible ever go on. This week, the producers thought it would be a great idea to take the contestants to a dairy farm and shovel cow shit. Seriously, what are they thinking about this date? There is nothing sexy about milking cows and shoveling cow shit, nothing. Well, if I reflect a little bit, I would pick the dairy farm date over the lip-synched concert, but that’s just me.

Next seasons Bachelors

There is very little interesting about Nick or his developing relationships, so the contestants continued to complain about Corinne and she dropped some serious truth bombs during this date. The first that she would rather go to the spa and eat chicken tacos than shovel cow poop, me too, Corrine. The second that while the contestants were yelling at her for napping during a rose ceremony, she said “Michael Jordan took naps, Abraham Lincoln took naps”. Finally, during her interview, she said she was very mature as he grabbed her boobs and kept on repeating “DO YOU CALL THIS IMMATURE?”. She is a screen-caping gold mine. 

The second one-on-one date with Raven, whom “Dolphin-Girl”, Alexis, thinks might be an alien was at one of Nick’s 11 sibling's soccer game and a skate rink. This date was a pretty standard one-on-one Bachelor date until Raven went into details about how she walked in on her ex-boyfriend cheating on her and then beat him up with a stiletto. As Raven was telling him this story, Nick was growing red in the face and developing BS and I’m pretty sure that he gave her the date rose because he was scared that she would beat the shit out of him with a stiletto too. This is a red flag, it’s usually better to stay away from people with a violent past.

Finally, the episode ended on another cliffhanger surrounding Corinne. I appreciated that they showed Corinne aggressively eating some sort of puff pastry with marinara. It was a Chad move for sure, except not cold cuts or a raw sweet potato) while threatening to punch Taylor in the face. Honestly, I am just sick of cliffhangers for this season. Why are every episodes ending this way? Is it so much to ask for a regular ending where a heartbroken contestant cries in front of the camera and says that they will never find love? Maybe next week.
