#this is what I wanted of the fallen banner after they did Ike | Explore Tumblr Posts and Blogs

Note

I feel like FEH's nature as a gacha game ocasionally causes IS to have to twist certain characters around so they can better sell them to FEH's audience, like the Fallen Corrins; they're taken from the end of Chapter 5 of Fates, a chapter where they're stuck in their dragon form, have practically devolved into a feral animal who attacks anyone they see, and whose maximum speech capacity is to grunt and roar in pain/exertion/anger.

Since a character that's completely incapable of speaking would be less desirable for the average player than someone with actual voice lines and confessions, they wrote themselves into a corner and had to invent a weird version of Chapter 5!Corrin where they've already gone on their rampage and returned to normal after Azura calmed them down, but for some reason are stuck being forced to unwittingly use their draconic powers in exchange for severe pain and an urge to give in to that side of themselves again; none of that tracks with what actually happens in chapter 5, where they show no signs of struggling to control themselves after regaining consciouness, especially not to the extent the Fallen ones do, and are very quickly given a dragonstone by Azura to make sure they can't go berserk again and can control their dragon powers properly.

The Fallen Corrins explicitly say that their friends and family helped them regain control of themselves and that they're ashamed for hurting Azura, so unless these Corrins both hail from a world where their dragon blood is inexplicably significantly more powerful and possessive than it ever was in Fates proper AND were summoned into Askr during the ridiculously short time-frame between being told that they went berserk and being given the dragonstone to stop that from happening again, the entire concept is broken from the start; all because IS couldn't just market a mute angry dragon to their playerbase in their gacha game.

It's the same reason they did what they did with Fallen Linus; sure, a mindless mute zombie isn't the most interesting of characters, but there was no need to include that version of the character into FEH if IS already knew they wouldn't sell well without heavy changes to the source material in order to make them more marketable.

Hmm

I still note they made mute!Soren an unit lol

More seriously, as a rule of thumb, I'd prefer if FEH kept characterisations the character had in their original games even if, as you said, some alts definitely need to be... modified.

You mentionned the Fallen Corns, but in general, a lot of Fallen Heroes fall under that banner, Fallen Julia exists for the last half of the last chapter in FE4, Fallen Ike is an AU, Grima(sses) were created from scotch and glue, Fallen!Bilthis apparently cares about her kid (obviously an AU lol), etc etc...

I still am completely baffled at what they did with Fallen!Vigarde like sure, he was given lines from his zombie self in FE8, but the part where he goes "my power is to great for this vessel" or something is completely bonkers, Fomortiis only possesses one dude from that family, and that dude is Lyon. Remove Fomor-Lyon moving zombie!Vigarde's strings, and Vigarde is barely something more, uh, "sentient" than Monica (yes, the one from FE8 if you're wondering).

I ranted enough about how I fucking hated the FB between Lyon and his possessed self - maybe to sell Lyon as something more than a mere tool played and sacrificed by Fomortiis who preyed on his ambitions - and if that was supposed to sell me more on Lyon, then good job devs, FEH's Lyon is, imo, not FE8!Lyon thus not the character I care about.

Granted, I rant and rant and rant, but I'm also someone who's overjoyed when, saaay, FEH pisses on the source material when the source material sucks, like Julia has more characterisation in her base intro than in her entire game(s) because the devs see her as something else than a falchion with legs, and I've already ranted about Fodlan, but in general, IS seems to want to "correct" some stuff that came out wrong in earlier games (or piss on certain lolcalisations).

And it's always kind of difficult, with seasonal units, to come up with lines, like take Deghinsea for instance, all of his lines in the games are, hm, very serious and not light at all. And yet, he has a cute Halloween alt that would feel in-character, so to say, with the giant bald lizard we kill at the end of FE10.

But when it comes to creating a new unit from scratch (Altina? Ullr?) sometimes things work because the new thing created from scratch feels coherent with the world they're supposed to come from, and sometimes it's way more, uh, muddy (Elimine?). And you can bet I'll be overjoyed if mythic!Willy is released, or mythic!Indech/Macuil, even if it means the devs will have to invent a lot of things to make those characters feel like characters and not... pixels with new skills (but then they didn't care about that when they made Nerthuz...).

In the end, I think it's still the old discussion when talking about a fanwork, is something OOC or IC ?

And even if Heroes was developped by IS too, like the base games, sometimes the OOC comes out too clearly. Sometimes, everything works because the fanwork that is heroes works. It all depends on the twist IS uses to, as you said, sell characters.

I just hope that potential remakes won't use FEH as a base (with the twist they brought to characters) but use the... game being remade as a base, even if it clashes with the FEH characterisation.

Like, I'd hate it if a Sacred Stones remake characterises Eirika only as the naive princess depicted in the FE13 DLC or the "I want to be like my brother" brave alt, while removing the "Enough. Hold your tongue." part of her character.

#anon #replies #i don't know if it makes sense lol #but yeah i agree #they need to retcon characters to sell them #like do you expect Cain and Alva to sell without a lot of retconning and creating new characters for them?#seasonals alts counting the fallen ones are imo like fanfics #it's up the the writers to write something that could feel IC for the characters #like you said the plot completely counters the mere concept of Fallen!Corn being able to talk #but they still feel like Corn?#F!Rhea's nonsense about despair though is... ugh #just like F!Lyon who is afraid of people learning he can be sealed in a Sacred Stone #when in the game everyone knows it that's why he sends armies to destroy them #that's a effin retcon #fe heroes

Even The Gods Are Not Immune — Thor x Reader [Part 2]

Prompt — You, Thor's wife, despite being powerful and extremely admirable, had been dusted in the snap. Now, you make a comeback.

[ Tags: @whos-too-bi @bukoandcoconutsarelife ]

Warnings — pretty sad, mentions of sex, cursing, endgame spoilers

Your beloved husband had attempted to keep it together once he had beheaded Thanos—keep the drinking to a minimum, rule over the remainder of his Asgardian people as you would have pushed him to.

But it was proving to be difficult, and these days, he only truly found comfort in playing Midguardian video games with Korg and drinking bottle after bottle. One, to hide his shame, and two, to numb the pain of your absence.

He no longer slept in your previously shared bedroom. It smelled too much like you, was decorated exquisitely by your hand, everywhere Thor turned, all he saw was you. Almost as if you were haunting him—hating him from beyond the grave for not trying harder to keep you and his people alive.

The guilt was slowly killing him.

Thor attempted to bed a common whore one night, only to find himself emptying his stomach of that night's dinner. But he hadn't vommited out of drunkness—it was out of guilt, sadness, self-hatred. This woman was not you—her hair did not feel so smooth, or even smell as nicely as yours. Her skin was not as soft, her kiss was not so loving.

This was not the woman he spent thousands of years loving, no woman he'd ever meet would ever be you.

When Bruce came to gather him, Thor had clearly lost it. His gut protuded from his stomach of what used to be rock hard abs, his hair wild and untrimmed. He was disgusting—dirty and horrid smelling.

"Your wife is gone, you have the chance to bring her back, but instead of fufilling her wishes of you acting as a king like she would've wanted you to, all you do is sit around, drink and play video games?" Bruce exclaimed—he had developed a relationship with you overtime.

You had been kind whenever he Hulked out, always supporting the big green monster and treating him with your gentle nature—unafraid. Both Bruce and Hulk found comfort in you, he too was devastated when you had been dusted, Hulk even more so.

"You mustn't mention my wife in my presence, Banner, it is unbecoming of you."

"Maybe what you need is to be reminded of her," Rocket intruded. "Doesn't it mean anything to you? Doesn't it mean something that your wife could be resurrected? You could have her back!"

"You're afraid—" Bruce concluded, but was quickly kicked aside.

"Afraid? Why would I be afraid?" Thor challenged. "I was the one that killed Thanos, I have nothing to fear."

"You're afraid of her seeing you like this." Bruce finished—Thor fell silent. "You're afraid of what she'll think, that she'll be dissappointed in you. You're not the only one that lost her that day, Thor. Y/N—"

"Don't say her name."

"—She was important to all of us—Steve, Tony, Nat, me. We need her back just as bad as you do."

It took a while for Thor to come to terms with it—that he couldn't be afraid of you, because you weren't that kind of woman. He would fix himself up—return himself to the man he once was and put pride in your name and the two of you would rebuild the Asgardian kingdom together.

That is, of course, if bringing you back was even possible.

He'd dreamt of you that night—bare naked, squirming underneath him as your baby soft skin glowed golden under the dim lighting. Your lips were swollen and pouted, eyes struggling to hold open as they fluttered shut in pleasure. Thor always loved you like this, weak and submissive beneath him. And he'd awoken in sweat, looking around his bedroom for any sight of you being there that night, because that dream had been so real.

He'd broken down in a mess of tears after realizing you were still gone with only a slight likelihood of you returning.

Finally, the team had gathered every last stone and returned back to their original time. Tony had constructed a metal glove that would work as Thanos' had.

"I'll do it," Thor spoke almost immediately—he had to make sure that of among all people, as selfish as it was, that you returned before anyone else had.

"No offense, Thor, but—" Steve ushered toward the nearly empty bottle of beer lingering in Thor's finers. "—I'm not sure you should."

It had been Bruce—who, at the moment, was a strange hybrid-being mixed between his human self and Hulk.

Thor was anxious, what if it did work? What if everyone was brought back, but somehow you were left as nothing but dust in the wind? Or what if you came back too and no longer loved him the way you had before—or was dissapointed in his ungodly appearance after being gone for the last five or so years.

These thoughts quickly left his mind when Thanos opened several unworldly portals, summoning his army of alien invaders from deep within the galaxy. Wizards and monsters alike standing behind Thanos and ready to officially destroy the Avengers, and then their entire universe.

They were ultimately screwed—with only a small handful of them to defend their planet against an entire army. They'd never get out of this alive, not ik their own.

Bruce had made the snap—so where was everybody? Had it all just been some dream they had hoped would come true? Had they somehow failed?

I'm sorry, Y/N, Thor's heart ached, his face in the ground as hot tears trailed his cheeks.

He'd failed you when you had been dusted, failed you when he had fallen into a horrid drinking habit and to hold together the remainder of your kingdom, and now he was going to fail you once more. He hadn't been able to bring you back—and he was too weak to protect the planet of Midguard; a planet you had adored with everything you had. A planet of smaller beings that you thought to be interesting, beautiful, even.

I'm sorry I didn't turn out as good a man as you had hoped I would.

"What are you doing on the ground, my love?"

Thor turned, snapping his head in a direction behind him.

A circle of golden sparks, man-sized and creating a pathway was sizzling with heat. It framed a bright, white light—too bright for such a dark setting. He recognized this to be Stephen Strange's foreign magic—but, hadn't Tony announced his dusting all those years ago?

From the light, a figure appeared—features shadowed due to the bright light shining in her background. But Thor could make out the curves he spent so long studying, memorizing, and making love to. He knew that voice better than he knew himself—for he had heard it so many times.

It was you—in a war dress that an Asgardian goddess would wear for protection in battle, whether she was fighting or not. Silver armor protected your chest and waist, expensive Asgardian fabric shaded the same red he wore drifted over your legs. Of course, there was a high slit on the right, exposing the sweet, soft skin he once caressed on a nightly basis.

Your hair was pulled back into a tight braid, daggers sheathed at your sides as you approached your husband. To him, it felt as if it'd been hundreds of years, but for you, barely ten seconds. It was like a power nap for you—time didn't effect you whatsoever when you were simply dust.

"Y/N?" Thor breathed, slowly lifting himself from the rummaged ground.

A wide smile merged onto your face at the sight of your husband, running into his arms and pressing a passionate kiss to his lips. Joy sprouting in both your chests, tears of both sadness and relief spilling down your faces as you embraced one another so tightly it hurt.

"You've changed, my love," you whispered against his lips, and you meant it. His body was softer, now—larger. He smelled terribly like alcohol and his hair was wildly unkempt. He was a mess, but you couldn't have blamed him.

Thor didn't know how to respond to your statement—were you disgusted?

"These last few years could not have been so terrible?"

Thor smiled, still pained, tears still rolling down his face. "These last few years without you were torture."

His hands continuously roamed your body—feeling your baby soft skin, absorbing the warmth that radiated even through the metal on your waist. His thumb gently ran over your bottom lip, the other hand subtly slipping through the slit of your dress and gripping your thigh.

The two of you were never opposed to PDA, after all. Not when it came to each other.

You pressed your lips to his once again, "when we are done here—I would like to make love."

It was Thor's turn to smile widely, a chuckle vibrating in his chest beneath his armor.

"As you wish, my queen."

"Avengers," Steve Rogers called from the front of the army of revived heroes—Wakandan soldiers, Guardians of the Galaxy, Valkrie woman and Avengers who had fallen in their last battle against Thanos. They all stood proudly, faces inked with anger and dedication to finally rid the universe of the army of aliens.

You made eye contact with the Wakandan woman you had attempted to save when the battle had first raged in Wakanda; both sending each other a nod.

You and Thor turned, weapons at the ready, eyes lingering on one another for a second longer before narrowing them at the enemy. You were ready—more ready than you would ever be to take back what you had lost in the fire.

You awaited Roger's signal, a raging fire burning in your gut. You were ready.

"Assemble."

Micaiah / Black Knight Convos: Part 1 Chapter 9

FE Game Script Translations - FE Novel Translations - Original FE Support Conversations - Ko-fi

Part 1 Final - Part 3 Chapter 6 - Part 4 Chapter 3

(First off, I apologize for posting a day late. Recent events have split time to other activities. Let’s all follow the hygiene and self-isolation guidelines passing around, and don’t buy and scalp necessities unless you absolutely need the funds to survive! It is our duty as citizens and humans of this world! The content of our character is decided by how we treat the most weak and vulnerable of lives.)

So I got a request to translate some Micaiah / Black Knight convos in Radiant Dawn, to see if there was any more ship teasing in the Japanese between the two in the talk conversation that did not trigger in the localization due to a glitch. This convo will appear in the next post, the one for the Part 1 Final.

And... well, I ended up translating a lot more, because I quickly got carried away because of all the script differences, and even completely eliminated text! (And I haven’t even gotten to the other parts yet!) I haven’t seen any extra hints of shipteasing, though. Ha ha. Come for one question, find a hundred more along the way.

Some translations may be a little awkward, but I wanted to highlight the differences between the Japanese and localized English scripts here, so bare with me. I try to strike a balance between smooth English and intent of the original, but there’s always tons of road bumps along the way. I haven’t done much on Radiant Dawn yet in my tenure as an FE translator, so I wanted people to get an idea of the style of the localization during this time.

おそらく大丈夫だ。▼

さっき王都からの報せが届いた。

視察団に先がけて

帝国の使者がネヴァサに到着したと。▼

使者はデイン王城に赴くなり

皇帝の命によって駐屯軍の権利を剥奪し

全員の身柄を拘束したそうだ。▼

Sothe: ...No, it’s probably fine. A report just came from the capital. The empire’s messenger arrived in Nevassa ahead of the inspection team. As soon as they started heading towards Daein Castle, the occupation army were all stripped of their rights and detained, by order of the empress.

[ミカヤ]

本当！？▼

Micaiah: Really!?

[サザ]

あぁ、本当だ。▼

追い詰められたからこそ、

ジェルドたちも

こんな無謀な手段にでたんだろう。▼

Sothe: Yeah, really. It’s because they were chased into a corner that Jarod was able to carry out this reckless maneuver.

[ミカヤ]

………▼

Micaiah: …...

[サザ]

だが、こうして

奇襲は失敗に終わった。▼

奴の手勢も、ほとんど

残っていないはずだ。

大した脅威だとは思えない。▼

再び姿を現すかもしれんが、

それなら、そこを撃退すればいい。

必要以上に気に病むことはないさ。▼

Sothe: But, this surprise attack ended in failure. He shouldn't have many troops left, either. I think he can’t possibly be a big threat. He may appear again, but if he does, we should take him out then. He isn’t someone we should worry about more than is necessary.

[ミカヤ]

………でも……▼

Micaiah: ……...But…...

[漆黒の騎士]

私が助勢しよう。▼

Black Knight: You have my support.

[ミカヤ]

……▼

Micaiah: …...

[漆黒の騎士]

あの者がなにを企もうと

私がそれを阻む。▼

我が剣、そなたのため役立てよう。

暁の…乙女よ。▼

Black Knight: Whatever that person is trying to plot, I will prevent it. My sword shall serve you. Maiden… of Dawn.

[ミカヤ]

騎士様…

あなたが来て下さったのは

きっと女神の思し召し……▼

ご厚意に甘えさせていただきます。

よろしくお願いしますね。▼

Micaiah: Sir Knight… surely your coming here is the will of the goddess… I accept your kind offer. Please work with us.

[漆黒の騎士]

承知した。▼

Black Knight: Understood.

[サザ](右)

………▼

Sothe: ………

Localization

Black Knight:

“Make your peace. This blow will be your end.”

Jarod:

“Heh… How kind of you…”

Alder:

“Gugrh…”

Jarod:

“Alder?! You… Why are you here?”

Alder:

“I’d rather fight beside my general than create a distraction with the other soldiers.”

Jarod:

“You idiot! Who asked you to join me?”

Alder:

“General Jarod… You are a terror to work under. Even so…I’ve always sensed a kindred spirit in you. I will follow you and fight for you…to the very gates of the abyss…”

Jarod:

“He was a good soldier… What now? Why don’t you kill me?”

Black Knight:

“My sword is not made for killing those who will not raise their weapons.”

Jarod:

“You’ve got to be kidding me!”

Micaiah:

“Stop! Stop it, both of you! A man has died protecting you. Don’t waste his sacrifice!”

Jarod:

“This is not the end!”

Micaiah:

“No. It’s not.”

Black Knight:

“You would simply let him go?”

Micaiah:

“He is not ours to judge. He belongs to the apostle now. I suppose he must bury his fallen friend and pray before facing her.”

A little later

Micaiah:

“You have my thanks for saving me.”

Black Knight:

“There is no need for thanks.”

Sothe:

“Micaiah, are you safe?!”

Sothe:

“You! Micaiah, run!”

Micaiah:

“Sothe! It’s OK. This knight just saved my life!”

Sothe:

“What?! Micaiah, do you know who this is?”

Micaiah:

“Everybody knows who he is, Sothe! He is the Black Knight. One of the Four Riders under King Ashnard, and the strongest swordsman–“

Sothe:

“Exactly! The scum that General Ike defeated in Nados Castle in Crimea, three years ago. So how can he be here now…alive?”

Black Knight:

“You are correct, Sothe. Ike did defeat me in that battle, in a fashion. But as you can see, I managed to escape.”

Sothe:

“What do you want?”

Black Knight:

“For Daein to raise its banner as a kingdom once again. I came here to protect those who are necessary for that dream.”

Micaiah:

“Sothe, General Jarod was here a moment ago. If the Black Knight hadn’t stepped in, Jarod would have killed me.”

Sothe:

“What?! But…I don’t see his corpse here. And that means…he’s still alive, isn’t he?”

Micaiah:

“Yes. There was another soldier who sacrificed his life protecting Jarod. I presume Jarod’s burying him now. Oh! Oh, no…”

Sothe:

“What is it?!”

Micaiah:

“I see a dark cloud… It’s dimming the light of hope… By letting Jarod go, I may have allowed something terrible to happen…”

Sothe:

“You aren’t sure?”

Micaiah:

“Sothe, I hadn’t told you, but I haven’t been feeling well lately. My mind feels…foggy. Things I could always see clearly are now dim and vague. I may have committed us to an irreversible fate.”

Black Knight:

“I shall aid you. No matter what Jarod may plot, I will prevent it.”

Sothe:

“Micaiah and I don’t want your help!”

Micaiah:

“Sothe, stop that! In King Ashnard’s War, you served below General Ike, and you and the Black Knight were enemies. But now, you are comrades with the same goal–Daein’s restoration. Listen to me. The Black Knight was Daein’s strongest general. We need him.”

Black Knight:
