As the final battle of CF draws nearer…
So too does Koto’s loss of patience with this route…
(Emblems:
❃ = Positive, not a problem
❋ = It is entirely neutral
✾ = It’s a bit negative, but it’s told in a joking way
✿ = It is negative and critical
Remember to filter #Fodlan Fault Finding and #Shut Up About Del as needed!)
✾ Why does what EdeIgard said give me the vibes of Mr. Waternoose from Monsters Inc.?
“I’ll kidnap a thousand children before I let this company die!”
“There is nothing I would not sacrifice to cut a path to Fódlan’s new dawn!”
“I’ll kill a thousand people before I let these countries remain independent!”
Also, it’s not a sacrifice if you don’t actually care about what you’re getting rid of? Like all you’ve sacrificed here is your school days. Other people fucking died, EdeIgard lol ✾
❋ I know he’s wrong here, at least about her mother, but damn I’m glad he gets to sink his teeth into her a little. It really hasn’t happened for anybody this much in this route, so… good for him, I guess? Would’ve preferred some therapy for him, but I’ll take it? I suppose? ❋
✾ “Your obsession with me is appalling,” EdeIgard says, with the utmost confidence, like she didn’t avoid progressing her war for five years because she missed Byleth, or angrily insist on destroying Rhea for something someone else did to her.
Pot calling kettle black here, Edie ✾
✿ As a villain’s speech, this is fucking awesome.
As a hero’s speech, this is fucking terrible.
Before now I’ve talked about being frustrated with her character writing: the obvious favouritism, the deliberately unclear motivations, the benevolent sexism… but I’ve also talked about how much I love some of her negative character traits. Her self-righteousness makes her scary, her unwillingness to relent shows a determination we don’t always get to see in female characters, and her manipulations are unnerving and intriguing all at the same time.
But this is a speech where she’s just straight up being a dick, and the game’s wobbly foundation for “morally grey hero” really shows here. Three out of four of the things she says here are a jab at his mental illness:
• You’re obsessed with me (I am ignoring the fact that I have participated in traumatizing you.)
• If you were a normal human, you would have died already (I do not think you are strong enough mentally to have survived without your crest.)
• Farewell, King of Delusion (I know some of the things you are saying are not true, but I do not want to consider if any of your words have any value.)
And the thing she says after this is her blaming him for not going along with her plans. If it were peaceful times, like it would be if you just gave up and let me win, then we wouldn’t have this problem.
Like, I cannot read this seriously as a hero’s speech. It’s such a large discrepancy between the rest of the route that I find myself wondering if it wasn’t the same people, or if they just went “oh wait, I just remembered she’s a villain, gotta write something harsh hold on”.
How much you wanna bet that Kusakihara or someone closely affiliated to him got to write this part, because it paints her in a negative light? He is the one who said she’s a villain, after all. Between Hopes and the rest of Crimson Flower, it’s clear that Koei Tecmo did not care what he thought. ✿
✾ (Insert JennaMarbles’s “And who’s fault is that?” meme) ✾
✿ Right. Yeah. That’s what’s happening. Yep. Mmm-hmm.
As you can tell, after her speech, I just don’t have the energy to contend with (vague gestures) whatever this is. ✿

I LOVE the fact that the first suggestion on google to help cure a tension headache is to stop stress. Like. I wouldn’t have a fucking tension headache if I wasn’t stressed. If I wanted advice like this I’d just call my mother.

Sorry you’re feeling like shit man! :( is covid testing fast where you’re at, at least?
Thank you 💜💜💜 It’s decent... usually within 3 days. But that’s if I can even get to a doctor, which between bills from being in and out of the emergency room all summer and some other complications... outlook not great on that. I’m gonna try and just wait it out I think and see if I feel better by the end of the week. 🤷 If not, then maybe I’ll give in and try to go to the doc on Monday.

Feelιɴɢѕ (Levιαтнαɴ)
How about an HC of Levi who had just realized his feelings for MC? How does he handle that?
Requester: Anonymous
Ao3 ver.
This is yet another of the old requests I did back when I first started writing content for OM. It’s actually the first HC I wrote for OM in general lmao. Anyways, yeah I’m cross-posting the OM stuff I wrote from Ao3 little by little just so that my Tumblr will have some sort of activity going on (ง ื▿ ื)ว
OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT
Levi.exe has stopped working
None of the anime/manga/games had ever prepared him for the off-chance that HE'LL develop feelings for someone!!! asdghjkl
/insert "guess I'll die" meme
Self-isolates for a day or 2 trying to make sense of these "genuine feelings" for someone who wasn't 2D or his beloved idols
Tries to make sure he really does like you that way by looking back on all the moments with you that made him happy and only further falls in love with you
The way you'd smile at him without any malice even when he was being difficult
How you'd indulge his stupid or weird ideas
Defending him from his brothers when they downplay him and his hobbies
Even stopping him from downplaying himself so much and trying to lift his fragile self-esteem
Well shit.jpg
By the time he steps out of his room he's more than sure that what he feels for you is undeniably true
Sadly however, he doesn't believe he deserves even a crumb of your affection
Because how could someone as imperfectly perfect as you ever want to be with a crummy otaku like him?
No amount of perfecting dating sims will ever make him as charming as Asmo or even as remotely attractive as his other brothers
Even Mammon has more appeal than him!
You could have your pick of all the brothers or even the other guys outside of the House of Lamentation
So why of all people would you choose him?
On the off chance that you do reciprocate his feelings and manage to let him know, he'll be equal parts embarrassed and elated
Of all the guys you could have fallen for, he was the one you truly loved?
/happy Levi noises

I signed up for a 4 week course on how to add subtext in comics and our first exercise was to draw ourselves or a character and make an item list of what’s in their pockets and clothing items that help describe them.
So of course I had to draw Holmes. But I focused on how he looks and behaves in the Hound of the Baskervilles comic I’m working on. These are mostly things I remember him having in the canon stories or seen in the Granada tv show (like the double watch chain with the compass and the Coddington lens, plus the short messy haircut from season 4) or an idea I’ve stolen from a good pastiche or fanfic. His soles are studded as mentioned in a Coules’ radio episode, but aside form football boots I haven’t been able to find 19th century boots that matched that description (if anyone has photos of an extant pair of shoes with studded soles let me know, I’ll smooch you)
I’ll be posting my exercises here as I complete them. I think the next one will be about backgrounds [insert “Guess I’ll die” meme]
Enjoy!
#my art#Sherlock Holmes#Character design#Granada Sherlock Holmes#Bert Coules#Jeremy Brett#Arthur Conan Doyle#ACD#Clive Merrison#item list#HOUN#The Hound of the Baskervilles#please let this man sleep#much anxiety#very gay

hii i love your fics and your blog. what are some writers, fanfic or otherwise, who inspire you? have you read anything good, fanfic or otherwise, recently? thank you i hope you have a nice day
I hope you have a nice day, too, anon!
The past year’s been kind of hard on me mentally -- and I am pretty sure I am not alone in this -- and until very recently I really haven’t been motivated to read much of anything, or write much of anything. I am slowly working on being able to do both of these things, but I am definitely not at 100% yet.
So I haven’t read all that much lately. In terms of actual books, I really liked Gideon the Ninth and Harrow the Ninth and am looking forward to the last book in the trilogy; last year I finally decided to get a supporting membership to Worldcon so I could vote for the Hugos, and while I didn’t manage to read anything other than the Novel and Novella categories, I enjoyed getting a giant virtual packet of books and getting to read some of the nominees, and I am looking forward to doing that again this year with the current Worldcon. (For approximately $50 you too can vote in the Hugos and receive a large number of current SF books and stories!)
If you’re looking for a rec for a SF/fantasy novel you probably haven’t read, one of my favorite authors, the late John M. Ford, is finally having most of his books come back into print. So far the only book that’s been reissued is The Dragon Waiting, which is an alt-history fantasy novel about the Wars of the Roses in a world where Byzantium has conquered much of Europe. It is very, very good. I reread it last year when it was rereleased. He does some really amazing things with POV (actually, so does Harrow the Ninth) and it has possibly my very favorite portrayal of vampires, in that vampirism in it is an unfortunate non-sexy medical condition that also happens to make you something fairly close to immortal, so people often seek to become vampires for strategic political reasons because they would really like to rule forever.
I really haven’t been reading a lot of fanfiction lately -- I have about twenty pages of stories Marked For Later on AO3 -- but let me see what I can come up with, looking at things I’ve bookmarked. Honestly I think one of the best parts about not lurking in fandom anymore is getting to befriend authors whose work I really admire; it’s a great experience. Kiyaar’s work always destroys me emotionally, and at some point I am gonna get to write a story with her, and I don’t know what it will be yet but it’s gonna be so much fun. (Insert “someone will die! of fun!” meme here.) Isozyme is currently playing in Untamed fandom and I really wish she would come back and write more Steve/Tony; I keep rereading her Ults fic and having Feelings. Mizzy consistently hits basically every narrative trope that I have ever liked, and I know this fic predates the pandemic, but I feel like always winter, never spring has been a Big Mood this past year. Sadisticsparkle does really consistently lovely work that I feel deserves to be recced more. I feel I have been pretty open about the fact that BlossomsintheMist’s Relativistic Heat Conduction is still my absolute favorite comics Steve/Tony story ever. Ever. (I would also like to try to cowrite with her someday but I have So Many Things to write first.) And also Crait’s Stark Disassembled series is perfect, perfect Civil War Tony Stark and I wish I could write half as well as this. I wish I could write half as well as any of these people.
And so you’re not like, “Hey, Sine, why are you just reccing your friends?” let me rec work by a couple of people whom I am pretty sure I have never interacted with beyond leaving embarrassingly-gushing comments on AO3. JenTheSweetie only writes MCU but every time I get a story notification email from AO3 I am super-happy, and I have read And Time Can Do So Much more times than I can count. It is an Endgame fixit. And I also want to rec -- oh my God, I just realized this is the exact same premise but it’s 616 and not MCU and also the other way around, oh my God, am I really this predictable, I guess so -- haemodye’s when you are fallen, which is a story in which Steve is presumed dead but is not really dead, just invisible, and Tony completely falls apart. And Steve gets to watch. So angsty. So good. Also it’s relatively recent, so probably not everyone has read it!
(I guess I really like stories that are basically AUs of the movie Ghost. I’m very predictable. In that vein, there’s also Mizzy’s ooh you and me would be a big conversation. Presumed-dead is the best trope because you get all the angst of deathfic but then you get a happy ending! Where Our Restless Monsters Sleep is also presumed-dead, I guess, in that it’s an Endgame fixit, but I figure every MCU fan has read it already. You know what, just go read all of Mizzy’s fic. I’ll wait here.)
There! I hope you find something good to read!

As much as I begin to see the horrors of RWBY fndm and how crazed BB fans can be, there'll probably be no comparison to the psychotics I had to deal with in the HH fndm.
While I can totally find myself being tolerant with all RWBY ships, there's something territorial when it comes to HH ships. It's a different beast on its own, especially with the popular artists that can and will control their fanbase.
Boy do I have a tale of 2020 that had me deal with the mental gymnastics these wild shippers put me through. The sheer hypocrisy, the fear fans had of standing up to them, the collective harassment.
In a synopsis, before we start:
Hi, my name is Hale.
Alfa and Alex are probably the most psychotic people I’ve ever met when it comes to my online daily life. I used to think my ex-friends were the bane of my existence, but Alfa and Alex started making me think just how angelic my exes were in comparison.
So let’s begin.
When I first met the Double AAs, it was Alex first (awhile back in late-June 2020 during Vaggie Week) but it was indirect. I was on my Instagram when I was tagged by a random user in something Alex had drawn. This was when I first saw the kill art of Vaggie. I was so upset that I had yelled at this random user for tagging me, as well as showing it via screencap on my twitter, as a warning to never do this to me to my followers. Keep in mind, I had censored Alex’s name from the screencap, not the random user.
However, Alex saw this somehow and became hysterical, thinking I was targeting him for what he drew. This caused an uproar of his fans to come attack me, and it did cause me to become scared and get away from my account. Alfa decided to insert herself into the mix, but I didn’t care enough for her to say anything. It was mostly Alex and how much he was “scared” and cried about the “fandom being so hateful and scary.” He went private for a while I believe, but Alfa was still going hard at me and sending more of her fans to come harass me.
If Alex ever says he is a strong and brave man, don’t believe him. He fears the HH fandom.
Anyhow, after Alfa’s fans had done their best to gaslight me, I didn’t give in. In fact, I made amends with the random user that tagged me. Somehow they assumed I would like the art of Vaggie being killed, which was childish to even believe in. Nonetheless, I forgave them, and we moved on from there.
But even when we both resolved this together, Alfa and Alex decided that it would be fun to make this “kill Vaggie art” a meme, or trend. With their huge followings combined, they were able to get their artist fans to join in and start creating so much hate art of Vaggie. Many of them drew her head being cut off, mutilated, raped and cheated on.
Alfa and Alex adore gaslighting the hell out of people. While they draw such hideous things, they will go ahead and say, “but it’s just fiction, it’s not real,” and call you psychotic for even caring so much about their bad behaviour. I can only imagine what Alfa’s husband goes through everyday since Alfa loves to make people second-guess themselves often.
Keep in mind, Alfa and Alex are the same people who will cry and shake when their fictional ship is invalidated and written out. They often wish nothing good for Viv and her team that are providing these ungrateful children with the show and content they so badly want. It shows you just how privileged they had grown up as children, doesn’t it?
This wasn’t fun, it was horrible. I didn’t realize just how many toxic people existed in the HH fandom until this “trend” began to spread.
But the funny thing that I'll never forget is how apeshit Alfa went when I had the audacity to draw Alastor plus sized. She accused me of being a pedophile, supporting MAPs. Even though she leans towards being pro-ship (likes incest, OK with lolicon, will condone drawing necophilia.) But me? Having the sheer audacity of drawing Alastor fat? It burned her so bad.
As well, this was being pushed on the VAs during a small livestream. The chat wouldn’t stop asking, “what do you think of the Vaggie kill art going around?” Of course the VAs ignored these questions, but it was really rude to even ask these things. Especially when Vaggie’s VA was in the same livestream.
But then this trend was proven to be a lie, by Alex’s own words. He dropped the ball in a one-off conversation with an anti that “he only created this to get back at the Chaggie shippers.” So retroactively, this trend was worthless.
What also began to start becoming obvious was that Alfa was too afraid to do anything on her own, and thus, she will recruit some darlings to defend her. Alfa seems to have more defenders than she has any confidence to defend herself, and when she has no choice but to stand up for herself, she will buckle and hide. She is weak, is what I had learnt.
I decided to just ignore Alex and Alfa as much as I could. With a friend though, I was given updates of what was happening on the Double AAs’ side in the meantime, and it’s amazing to see just how vile they can be with their own fans and haters. Especially with their new puppy named Salty. (I think that’s their name, another weak ass bitch.)
As months went by, the major event that stirred from the AA camp was when they were harassing Pastel Sky. This would be where the big reveal of just how horrible the AAs and their friends truly are, when they have nobody to harass except for kids. HH has a wide audience of children involved in this fandom, hence why many other artists keep saying we should try to be good examples for them, and keep them safe. But not for the AAs.
Pastel was ruthlessly attacked by them and it was all unwarranted. What they were angry about was that Pastel had the nerve to have negative opinions when it came to AAs, and they broke their own rule of “don’t like then block.” Even Galactic Potatoes (Spuds) would go out of their way, again, to gaslight Pastel into believing that what attacks she received on Twitter was allowed, because Pastel was asking for it. Spuds is well-known to gaslight, a thing they had learnt from the AAs quite often.
Pastel was a minor at the time, and it really doesn’t matter if Pastel was just 17. I don’t care if Pastel was only 17 and that “well she’s almost 18,” because regardless of age, harassment is not the answer. Follow by that, fighting with minors is actually fucking stupid and braindead. Spuds tried very hard to justify why attacks were OK, and that Pastel “should learn” how to grow up. I then learnt that Spuds went into hiding afterwards.
That was until the Double AAs’ discord chats were exposed, showing that they were practically mouth-watering at Pastel’s pain, romanticizing her apparent abuse and trying to convince each other how her punishment on Twitter was correct. Even one (I believe was Jay because he loves me and wants me back) wished that I would die. This would be the third time he asked me to die indirectly, which justifies my points on how toxic and abusive they are.
This entire event seemed to have unraveled a new wave of truths, and it’s sad to know it had to take a literal minor to have their masks fall off.
In 2021, Alex was exposed to be a thief. Stealing commission money for “stress pills.” If Alex is on a path of drug addiction, I hope it’s not the case. That’s a terrible place to be, and hopefully he’ll be clean and grow up for once. I still don’t care enough about Alfa, after now knowing all she is, is just a dramatic housewife with nothing better to do in her life. Perhaps if they just got jobs instead of stealing money from fans, they’d be leading well-productive lives.
From what I understand, many of the toxic fans of the Double AAs have either dropped HH fandom, or have deleted their accounts. Good, I hope they stay gone. The fandom deserves better, not trash.
Needless to say, the best advice I can give to those in the HH fandom that come facing the Double AAs is to not be afraid of them.
Over time, once you get used to their behaviour, you come to realize that this is their default. They’re not likable, they’re not nice, and they aren’t appreciative of one singular thing you do for them (hence Alex stealing from his own fans.)
It’s their M.O., they are just that cruel. So don’t fear them, but challenge their behaviour. Don’t stoop to their level of wanting to draw hateful art, though, that will fuel them. Talking down to them like their idiots always works like a charm.
Anyways, thanks for reading.
If anybody from the Double AAs’ camp ever finds this and reads it, I just wanna say that you are doing a great job, sweety. Thanks for proving me right by the new year. I appreciate the honesty for once. It only took you a year, just think of what other things you’ll do in the next year.
