what are you so afraid to lose? what is it you’re thinking that will happen if you do?

about the ten elites...

in one of the books in the abyss, which contains a diary entry written by an elite, a question is posed. “why does seiros despise us so? what did king nemesis do?”

many people have interpreted this to mean that the ten elites were unaware of what they were doing, that nemesis didn’t tell them - but i doubt this. let me tell you why

saw a post on twitter about terrible headcanons about your favorite characters, and it made me remember how lucky i was that people only ever post normal headcanons about Geeta! in celebration of this here is a small selection of my favorite Extremely Normal posts about Geeta :)

new paldean winds said Larry has been in the league for 25 years which is A: hilarious B: means he has to at least be 40 if he joined at the absolute youngest age he could at 16 (when most teens get a first job) (I mean he could’ve joined earlier since they seem to let in child prodigies like Poppy but he doesn’t strike me as that type). So I win. My 45+ year old Larry agenda has won today

This is a certified fire emblem headcanon info dump post . Bullet points copied and pasted from my notes app for the most part so sorry everyone if the formatting or grammar or something is weird

Exactly how the Nabateans work isn’t ever fully explained in game so this is. My take on it based on hints from the game and the characters’ relationships with each other and with Sothis:

-Sothis is an otherworldly alien being who DID come from far beyond the stars. Her lifespan is unfathomably long compared to an average human’s (if not just infinite/indefinite. I imagine as long as her home star shines she could live forever) and her godly power is basically like. An average human’s ability to wield magic times one bajillion. Naturally just has More Magic.

-She left the rest of her kind behind to visit earth and settle there but she doesn’t talk very much about her life before earth to anyone even her closest family. She greatly prefers life on earth and forming human connections to… whatever was going on back on the blue sea star.

-She created her children not by giving birth but like the games said . With her blood. She can just sculpt a human form from Anything, press together a crest stone, and blood-let on it a little bit, and badda bing badda boom new Nabatean. A Nabatean’s abilities, dragon form, and personality can be influenced by what she created their vessels out of. The first ones were created from the clay and mud of the earth she landed on hence the name Nabatean meaning earth dragon lol.

-Sothis DID love and want to watch over humanity, despite not being omnipotent and all-powerful like the Church claims. Creating her children and living among them and humans side by side was sort of her way of expressing that love.

-Despite not claiming to be omnipotent and all-powerful, Sothis’s strange appearance and abilities lead the people of Fodlan to begin calling her a goddess and worshipping her, which she happily accepted and encouraged. The idea that she watches over all life from above and is the arbiter of every soul came along with the church after she died (and is not really true). During her lifetime, she was just worshipped and was the queen of Zanado

-Sothis can create and bring life to a Nabatean at any age/stage of life. Rhea is one of the few she created as a baby rather than a fully grown adult, and she raised her as her own as a result.

-Seteth and his brothers are one of many “batches” of Nabateans made as adults and as a result they aren’t nearly as close to Sothis as Rhea is/was.

-Specifically, Macuil seems to even resent Sothis as he mentions byleth “stinking” of her during his battle. I imagine he’s the eldest brother and resents her for seemingly “abandoning” him to watch his brothers alone when others like Rhea got centuries of her time, love, and attention.

-Nabateans are all created by Sothis and most of them view her as a mother or at least a distant family member/matriarch figure but unless specifically made by Sothis to be siblings (as Seteth and his brothers were. Made as a matching set.) Nabateans aren’t actually related to each other. Sothis travelled all over Fodlan and probably other parts of the world too and created countless sets of Nabateans based on all different types of people. She would often make a few sets/unrelated individuals at once so that her creations/children could have like-minded company.

-Flayn’s mom/Seteth’s wife was also a Nabatean but from another “clan” and therefore yknow not his sister. Rhea Seteth and Flayn only really see each other as family in 3h because they are the last of their kind and feel the need to bond together for safety.

-Seteth and his brothers were based on whatever the Fodlan equivalent of Celtic people is. Rhea was made as a baby for Sothis to raise herself and is made more closely in her image than most of the others.

-Nabateans DO age, but very veeerryyy slowly. Rhea was pretty young, about the equivalent of 19 when Sothis was killed and the war of heroes started. By the time 3H canon begins, she’s about the equivalent of 38-41-ish. Seteth is about 40 in human years too, though he’s actually much younger than Rhea because he was created after her but was created as a young adult. Flayn is the equivalent of 15. Was only like 12 when she was injured and fell asleep back in the day.

-Sothis’s body, like when she was alive properly, will never die/rot so long as the blue star shines. However, the other Nabatean’s bodies DO rot but again. Veeerrryyy slowly. It would take centuries before they’d start to smell off.

-Other Nabateans, especially ones created later who weren’t raised and taught how to use their power by Sothis herself are not nearly as powerful as she was. Rhea is one of the strongest and was raised by Sothis personally but even she can’t control herself and goes crazy if she overuses her dragon form too much.

-Rhea was able to create Sitri/the other failed mom vessels because she was taught how to by Sothis. Probably watched her create many other Nabateans. However, since she is not nearly as powerful as her mother (and was just reusing the crest stone of a dead woman), Rhea’s vessels are far more fragile/sickly and humanlike. Most of them died very shortly after being created from their bodies basically being unable to sustain themselves. Sitri was pretty sickly and feeble but she was actually the healthiest and longest living one

-If not properly utilized and honed, Nabatean’s magic also fades over time, hence how Seteth’s brothers are now basically stuck as dragons. They didn’t transform for so long that they got rusty and probably can’t anymore.

(I’m showing up to the party like 4 months late for this post but it’s an excuse to rheapost so just ignore that)

- Her gifts seem to imply that she likes art. I like to imagine she both likes to view it by going to museums or viewing private collections of anyone willing to let her stop by (and really what noble would turn down the archbishop lol) AND likes to make it, usually by sculpting or drawing in ink when she has some down time. She picked up sculpting w clay from her mother and they used to make little figures together BTW

- She’s actually pretty playful around people she’s close with and trusts. She likes to joke around and loves stupid pranks. Absolutely would help Byleth and their students prank Seteth if they asked. Also has lame mom humor sometimes so stuff like Alois’s puns make her chuckle when she’s in the right mood

-She’s bi (not even rlly a headcanon that’s just in the game) and trans. Being a mama’s girl she of course came out to Sothis first and she helped her pick her new name. Her aliases over the years have all been other names she liked and considered back in her egg days lol

Anyways, anybody got some nice Rhea/Seiros headcanons?

The things that would warm up her day in Garreg Mach or delight her as much as her favourite tea? Go ahead

"we want morally grey women!" you guys couldn't even handle lady rhea

[ilovesmosh55]

alright yeah sure new updated myr design just dropped. factoids about this thing below

was sort of half-conscious growing up until sothis awoke. capable of feeling emotion, but cannot truly express them and experiences everything through somewhat of a haze

comes paired with a sort of custom route that exists exclusively in my head that i have tentatively named seafoam star. will explain that later probably

only people he really had growing up were jeralt and whatever animals hung out wherever they were staying. was generally not around people his age and even when he was nobody wanted to engage with him because of his "odd" behavior. even adults were put off by them

known to be quite merciful for a mercenary. capable of being brutal, but it is reserved for the truly deplorable; for example, often lets thieves trying to steal from well-off folk to keep themselves or their loved ones alive go in secret. does not see these acts of survival as worthy of punishment. wishes he could help them.

time powers work more in-depth than with canon byleth. can of course use divine pulse, but this also comes with an unusually acute perception of time and the occasional ability to have visions of the past and possible futures. since his body is still technically mortal, these visions often make them feel faint if not entirely pass out. These visions can be shared via touch.

genuinely never knows what the hell is going on. people seem to think he does or that he's hiding something — he is not. he is just learning to express the confusion he feels.

more visibly nabatean than canon byleth after fusing with sothis. pointed ears and reptilian pupils come alongside the green hair. possibly has markings on his body as well i havent decided. probably has a dragon form that he is entirely unaware of

teaches all three classes and has a significant connection with them all, but is the homeroom teacher of/is the closest with the golden deer (think like... the teachers rotate who they teach basically. but each have a homeroom they are tied to/spend more time with). this is a surprise tool that will help us later

gay and in love with claude. this one needs a seperate post entirely because oh boy

did not even have a chance to choose a side between edelgard and rhea. would not have killed edelgard at rhea's request regardless and approaches her about it before the imperial attack on the monastery to ask if there is any other way. rhea was upset by the idea that he did not side with her unconditionally. he did not want to kill either of them

loves rhea, but does not trust her. Very confused by her actions and only wants the truth from her. Sees her as somewhat of a motherly figure, ironically.

likes drawing, creating jewelry (usually out of bone), sewing, and carving (usually sets of dice). like sitri, loves flowers and will be delighted to see unusual ones. has an affinity for stuffed animals.

uses he/they pronouns i forgot to put this on the ref itself oopsie daisy
