#ALSO VIRIDI FROM KID ICARUS UPRISING

[myth-of-light]

Sorry to bother you a second time with an ask(none of my friends know kid Icarus so I got no one to talk to about)

But when hades pokes fun at pits inability to fly palutena states “his wings just don’t work right”

I googled “wing deformities” and the first thing that came up was angel wing, a deformity where rapid wing development causes the wing to outgrow proper bone support, causing the wing to bend out at an unnatural angle and a permanent inability to fly

And what’s it caused by?

An unhealthy diet of rich protein and carbohydrates.

And we know pit loves food. Specifically things like sweets and fast food, based on his distaste for veggies as stated in Palutenas Revolting Dinner

I rest my case

Well apologies, but I am going to challenge your case! A year late! (I am always happy to receive ask dw)

And if anyone notices mistakes below please comment! espically with formatting.

Angel Wing Syndrome

Angel Wing Syndrome is a deformity that effects aquatic birds, such as ducks and geese. Angels, like Pit, are typically inspired by the Dove and other birds that are typically non-aquatic birds. But let's say Pit is a swan or something, this still doesn't fit.

Angel Wing Syndrome also limits or completely restricts a bird from flying, which isn't the case for Pit, he can flap/glide on his own and with assistance from the Gods, can fly. If he had Angel Wing Syndrome he would mostly likely not be able to fly at all.

Not to matter that was make Angel Wing Syndrome so recognisable it the physical deformity is has on the bird. Having vitals feathers pulled to the rear. Pit clearly does not have this.

Though I will agree Pit doesn't have the best diet.

There are 10 possible food to have for health, this includes:

Fruits: apples, melons, grapes,

Meaty Foods: meat, hamburgers, sushi

Junk food: cakes, ice cream, doughnuts, bars of chocolate.

There is no vegetables! Unless you count anything in the burger haha.

But this ask did make me wonder, why can't Pit fly? And if there is any evidence in game to why.

I seem to find in an answer in by comparing when Pit can fly vs when he cannot.

Pit's Wings

In the original game he looks like this (oh gods the quality I apologise)

His wings go along his upper back, though pretty small right? Only reaching the neck when stretched out.

But now look at him with the Wings of Pegasus, they reach his head. Now while this could just be a visual to show the Pegasus' Wings Superiority, but perhaps Pit's wings aren't big enough to carry his weight.

But before I came to a conclusion, I looked at Uprising

First two (top layer) are Pit's wings normally where as the last two (bottem) layer is when the Miracle of Flight is activated. It may be hard to see but his wings are bigger when the Miracle of Flight is activated. You can see this when Pit jumps out at the start of a chapter, but can also see this in the cutscene in Ring of Chaos , when Viridi activated Flight.

You can see his wings grow. As seen in the images below and at the beginning of the clip.

I also looked at the pegasus wings for Uprising, but they are turned off because of potential unreliability, according to Palutenas(see image one below), hence they aren't any bigger than normal miracle of flight(image two below).

Note: when Pit is extracted from battle his wings do not change. (image three below)

So when Miracle of Flight is activated, Pit's wings grow? It that just a special detail or does Pit need bigger wings?

Dark Pit's Wings

To figure this out we can also use Dark pit for when he gets Pandora Power.

Pre-Pandora, his wings are similar to Pit's(see first image), but when he gets Pandora they almost double in size (see second image), you can really feel the difference.

But what is fascinating, is that when you fight him again, his wings are back to the average size (see third image). At first I thought this was an inconsistency, but no, as after the battle he seems to activate his wings, become big again (see fourth image).

Dark pit doesn't gain/have better wings, he gains power to activate his own infinite Miracle of Flight, which also make his wings bigger. He seems to prefer smaller wings for flighting (as they probably make them both lighter on their feet).

This makes me think that the Pits don't have big enough (or at the very least strong enough) wings to carry them. So the Miracle of Flight acts as an aid that give them these things while in flight (as Dark pit chooses to deactivated on the ground).

This is probably the answer.

(more speculation below)

But if that is the case, the biggest question is

Why does Pit's Wings Burn/Why is there a limit to the Miracle of Flight?

This part now is just speculation. (Also I am ignoring the last scene of 15min flying for this post, as I just think it's just a credit thing.)

Is seems that if the Miracle of Flight is used for too long Pit gets burnout both metaphorically and physically, his wings catch aflame due to the limit. So why is there a limit, and why does Dark Pit not have it?

The only difference between Pit and Dark Pit is how they gain their miracle of flight.

Dark Pit absorbed Pandora's power, making it his own. Therefore the power he uses to fly is (temporary) his own that he can control and regulate. Whereas Pit has someone else acting upon him, gods for that matter. Who cannot regulate their power being exerted upon him as well as Dark Pit can on himself.

I think it's the different between external vs internal regulation that is the difference between Pit and Dark Pit here. Dark Pit can know exactly how much power/usage he needs for flight whereas the gods made be just shoving a bunch of power in Pit's wings, not knowing how to regulate it correctly to Pit's needs. For the Miracle of Flight to be safe and unlimited, Pit has to be the one giving power to his wings.

But in order to get that power he has to steal it, which has been shown to be unsustainable as Pandora lived on in Dark Pit's wings. Not only that but it had to be all of Pandora's power, who was a goddess. So I don't think Palutena can simply give this power to Pit, as is has to be the power of an entire deity, but if you absorb that power, the deity lives on. While the circumstances of Pandora's revival were rare, there no certain way to know that there isn't other ways an absorbed deity can get their power back.

This makes in unlikely that Pit could one day fly on his own indefinitely. Though can offer explanation on why Dark Pit can fly. But alas, this part is more speculative than the other (hence under the cut). But it is interesting to think about.

Thanks for the ask!

Kid Icarus Uprising is definitly one of oy favorite 3DS games ! I just finished it and loved every second of it. In this game, you play as Pit, an angel. Helped by Lady Palutena, goddess of light, you will fight the armies of the underworld in order to save the world from Hades. I especially enjoyed the characters in this game. But I'll come back to that later.

Each level is composed of two phases : air battle and land battle. Air battle is a rail shotyer while land battle allows you free movement. Similarly to Star Fox 64's levels. Your objectives is to shoot as many ennemies as possible to obtain hearts (some sort of currency) and a high score. At the beginning of each level you will bet hearts : the more hearts you bet, the harder the level will be, but you'll get better rewards.

You also have a variety of weapons to choose from. I personally like the long-range weapon better, as well as fast ones. I especially enjoy playing with the bow, but staffs and blades are good too. I do not like claws, clubs and arms. I haven't played with palms, orbitars and cannons too much.

You can fuse your weapons to get better ones : weapons in this game don't have stats, but they all have effects, and by fusion weapons, you can get a mix of effects that corresponds better to your playstyle.

The story is 25 chapters long. The dialogues and fighting happen at the same time. Thourought the chapters, you will meet a varued cast of chatacters. Mostly gods.

Speaking of characters ! As much as I love Pit, my favorite character is Magnus. He appears in chapter two as an ally, and you fight with hil for most of the level. He's badass as hell and very strong ! He's also mysterious. We don't know much about him or his past. At some point you even play as Magnus ! Which is insanely cool !! Of course, I like Pit too, as well as Dark Pit (I'm sorry but Pittoo is fuckin ridiculous). Pit's cute. Dark Pit is... kinda there ? But cool. And, well, Hades. The big bad guy. He radiates fun. I always like it when villains are joking around while destroying the world like it's nothing.

However, as enjoyable as this game is, it also has a lot of cons :

This game is essentially a twin stick shooter. On a 3DS. See what's wrong ? The console only has one circle pad. In order to control your camera/aiming, you have to use the touch screen. The controls, overall, are a pain in the ass.

The difficulty is something you can easily manipulate in this game. However, the difference between how difficult the level is and how difficult the bosses are is... astounding. The bosses are way too easy compared to the levels. It takes like, about a minut to finish one, whereas the the regular air and land battles are quite difficult. It's a good challenge, but it's unbalanced.

As I said, the dialogues and fighting happen at the same time, and it's really difficult to follow both. While tou can change where the subtitles (if you want them) are displayed, I took way too much damage when trying to follow the story.

I feel like the characters are under-developped. I'm taking back Magnus as an example. We have very little informations about his motivations, and why he is almost as powerful as an angel is never explained. Dark Pit suffers the wame fate : his whole existence is... pointless. He was kinda accidentally created, and by how he was portrayed at first, we would expect him to become an antagonist, or at least a secondary one. But no. Oh, but then, does he become a good guy ? Not exactly either. He is... kinda neutral. The thing I'm the most annoyed by is that his role is... well, he doesn't really have one. His action don't affe t the story too much. I wish he had been more important.

I also wish there was more bonuses when you finish the game. You do get a boss rush challenge, but I wish we'd at least get the option to change the menu's theme : either Palutena's or Viridi's. I would've LOVED a Hades theme. Oh, one small detail I like about the menu is that you can move the buttons around. It's very fun to play with.

One last thing that disappointed me : the vehicles. Don't get me wrong, I love the vehicles. Cherubot is my favorite one. But the game does not use them to their full potential. They are sometimes found in levels. You can do à section with them. But that's all. I wish there were levels dedicated entirely to these vehicles. For example : I don't remember when this happens, but there's a part in which you have to use the motorcycle on a trail, and this was a good use of the motorcycle.

In conclusion, Kid Icarus : Uprising is an excellent game for all people looking for fun ! It does have cons, but hey all games do, and they don't ruin the gameplay or anything, so it's fine. I enjoyed playing this game, and I think you would too !

Promise Me?

(Originally posted on AO3 on 5/10/22. You can also read this on fanfiction.net)

A post canon marcanne fic with hurt/comfort, communication, and slight canon complaint. Contains The Beginning of The End and Kid Icarus Uprising spoilers. While watching Marcy play one of her favorite video games, it reoccurs to Anne just how badly she treated her in the past. Maybe they should talk it out a bit?

~~~

The sun was starting to set, and we were just now settling down from a long day of walking and playing around town. On the floor at the bottom of my bed, Marcy had a blanket tied around her neck in the form of a cape, playing on her 3DS. Sitting beside her, I was not watching the screen, but her look. How her expression changes from focused, to surprised, to confusion, to overwhelming joy. I would know what she was reacting to if I didn't tune out the noise from time to time. But, I soon noticed that a part of the game had ended, for the orchestral music was put to a stop, and Marcy's eyes were wide.

"Ohhh Anne, you'll never believe what happened!" She beamed while shaking my shoulder.

"What is it?"

"Pit can't fly anymore! He asked for the power of flight from Viridi, which he used up earlier from a battle, BUT Dark Pit was in danger and he needed to save him! And now that he overused his power he can't fly anymore and it looks like he's deaddd!" She leaned her head back on the edge of the bed and whined. But something must've caught her attention, as she peeped her left eye open and looked at me.

"Hm? What is it?"

She giggled and sat up straight. "You're looking at me like that again!"

Once again, Marcy was ahead of me for I hadn't noticed the smile and warmth across my own face until now. It's painfully obvious to her how much I like her, and I wouldn't be surprised if she knew all along. Not like I'm ashamed of it, anyways. I just wish I could've told her on my own.

"Sorry sorry, I couldn't help myself." I shyly replied. "You're just cute.."

"D'aww, stop it, Anna-Banana!" She teasingly flicked my forehead, my supposed punishment for staring. But she soon snuggled against me, adjusting the stylus in her hand and continuing her game.

Because of Marcy's quick summary of the last chapter, I found myself curious about what would happen next. So I shifted down to her height and watched her play. The game had an angel on the top screen, and characters talking on the bottom. The way she was controlling the game was different compared to others, and it seemed a little hard. But she seemed to do it with ease as if she prepared her whole life for this moment. I eventually found myself interested in the story itself….even though I barely have any clue of what's going on.

And before I knew it, the chapter was put to an end, and Marcy's eyes were sparkling. "He's alive!" She wrapped her arms around me and rejoiced. "He's aliveeee!"

"Shhh, my parents are probably asleep by now!"

"Oops—sorry, you're right!" She whispered. "I'm just so attached! The writer definitely knew what they were doing, because this is just so spectacular! The way the gameplay is implemented, the characters, the voice acting!" She squealed. "You have to play it for yourself!"

"Maybe I will.." I presupposed.

She let go of me and started to start the next chapter, and I began to watch..but I ended up zoning out again, and an old memory returned to my mind. When we had a sleepover, a bit similar to this one, and how Marcy showed us one of her favorite movies. And how we barely paid attention to a word she said. She had the same excited and passionate look on her face, but we didn't bat an eye. And we fell asleep, we always did.

"..You're spacing out again." Marcy waved in front of my face with a weak smile.

"Ah—sorry, just remembering something."

"Did I leave the oven on while making the cookies!?" She jolted up. I guess she was the one who forgot about things this time.

"Nono, I'm pretty sure you didn't, silly!" I booped her nose for a quick tease, followed by her laugh. "It's something else.."

Marcy slouched back down, closing her 3DS and looking back up to me, pouting. "You're frowning.."

"Oh, am I?" I paid attention to my face, and she's right, the smile wasn't there anymore. "Dang, you got me again! Don't worry about it though, I'm probably just tired. It's late anyways!" I stressed.

"You sure? We promised to talk about things that's bothering us from now on, remember?"

Damn! We did promise that. Once we came back from Amphibia and settled down, all three of us talked and thought of ways to make things better. And that was one of them. But wouldn't it upset her if I brought it up again? I wouldn't want that..I don't want to see her smile go away anymore. But the only way to make sure of that is to talk, isn't it?"

Taking a sharp breath, I sat up straight. "It's just..I can't believe this is what I've been missing out on all these years."

"Hm? What do you mean?"

"You know..all those times you were rambling and being all happy..I didn't hear any of it. Even when I tried, I ended up falling asleep or getting distracted."

"Oh." She blinked and clicked her tongue. "..Well, I know you wouldn't do that anymore! And that's all that matters!"

"But I still hurt you, didn't I?" I mumbled. She leaned in a bit closer to listen to me. "You deserved to be heard back then as much as you do now. I know everything's alright now but..I'm still very sorry, Marcy."

I didn't dare look back up at her, but I could feel her staring at me. She's not going to accept my apology, isn't she? I don't blame her..I wouldn't accept it if I were her either. But, I felt a hand on mine, and I averted my gaze back at her to be greeted with her dilated pupils and sweet smile.

"..It did hurt, it hurt me so much. Looking behind me just to see you two asleep made me very upset."

I blinked back a few tears and sniffled. I hurt her that much?!

"But! It isn't your fault. It never was. It wasn't Sasha's, and..honestly, it isn't mine either. It was just a mistake both of you made, and a common one at that. Plus, it's not like I should force you to listen."

"But we did it over and over again! And we kept leaving you out, and using you, and you didn't deserve any of it! We should've known how painful it was for you from the start!" I cried out. "I hate how I acted back then..I just want to go back in time and give you all the love you needed.."

Marcy tightened her grip and rubbed the back of my hand with her thumb, and I didn't understand any of it. Why should she be comforting me? She made her usual face when she's thinking long and hard about something, lightly scrunching up her nose, looking around the room, tapping her finger, and making little noises like "Bapapapapaaa..". She must not be used to talking about such things yet, which is understandable.

Finally, she made a pop with her mouth. "Well, you acknowledge that it hurts now, don't you?"

I nodded.

"And you promise to never leave me out again?"

I nodded again.

"You really promise?" She frowned and furrowed her eyebrows. "This is serious, you know. I don't want to go through that ever again. I'm glad you want to change and that you care about me, and although it isn't your fault, this is still something that should be worked on."

I flipped my hand so it would fit perfectly into hers, blinked back my tears once more and smiled at her. "I promise. Thank you, Mar-Mar."

"Nono, thank you." She consoled me. "If you never brought this up, we would've never fixed it."

I hummed in agreement and squeezed her soft hand. With her other, she gently wiped away my fresh tears that were starting to form, rubbing her thumb against my warm cheek in a soothing motion. After a while of drying away my damp face, it seemed she was lost in thought again.. Sure, she was looking at me, but I couldn't tell a single thought behind her dark brown eyes and she stayed silent and mostly still…maybe she's thinking about how pretty my eyes are and how she could stare into them for hours? Wait no Anne stop—don't think about that! This is serious!

"Mmm.." Marcy finally spoke. "Can you promise me one more thing tonight? Just to make it fair."

"Shoot."

"If you think you're about to go to sleep, can you at least let me know first?" She requested. "That way it won't hurt as much?"

"Oh, yeah sure! I don't mind that at all."

"Cool!" She beamed, and I couldn't help but smile at her relie— "WAIT nono one more thing," Well that was short lived. "Do I have to tell you when I'm about to ramble? I feel like I have to..if I had before then everything would've been alright.."

"No, you don't need to do that at all, I love hearing from you!"

Her face noticeably changed from a medium brown tone to a dark red and her eyes widened. "Well, if you say so.." Clasping her hands together, she looked away from me..maybe I should've kept that one to myself.

"...You can go back to playing your game now if you want." I advised, helping her hide her embarrassment..and hopefully mine.

"Y-yeah! I will! Thanks for the talk Anne!" And she swiftly scooped up her game, opened it up, and went back to playing as if barely anything happened. Scooting right back next to her though, I noticed the redness returning to her face, and she focused in front of her, as if she was trying not to look at something else.

"A-affectionate tonight, aren't we?"

"Hm? Do you want me to get off for now?"

"Nono! Don't get off! I'm just..not used to this.." She explained. "I-I mean I am! But tonight..it feels a lot different. It feels..more focused. Like, it's not something I could just think of once and turn away from anymore.."

And then my cheeks were a dark red. "Mm, I gotcha." I said, laying my head on her shoulder. "Just tell me if you want me to stop and slow down, alright?"

"I will." She said surely. "I'm glad we got to talk like this..it feels nice."

"I'm glad too, Marcy."

Hiya, while my irl group of friends and I were messing around the languages of Super Smash Bros Ultimate, one of them selected Pit from Kid Icarus Uprising and pointed out that his Japanese voice actor is the same of Conan!

(Here's an example.)

So, here's my question: what do you think it would be more funny?

Conan doing a Pit cosplay (with Arséne doing Dark Pit and Ai doing Viridi) or a Directly Kid Icarus Au? 👀

(Or a secret third option of your choice? 👀👀)

Hi! Sorry it took me so long to answer but I was super super happy to get your ask, cause Pit is my favorite little guy to play as in Smash!! I’ve never played Kid Icarus so I am not totally sure on the plot (but it’s Greek myth inspired, right? I am a big nerd for Greek myth and can rant about it for ages!!) so I will stick with a Pit cosplay ;)

Also! There actually is a secret third option, an AU I’ve got with very similar imagery, but I’ve never talked about it here yet! So far it lives only in my brain, and on a few unfinished sketches, but I am trying to make a longer, polished comic to post soon!

Thank you for your ask!

[silkhy-john]

Each arc of Kid Icarus Uprising evoked different feelings in me. My favourite arcs were uhhh the middle three? But also I want to cheat and say that the Viridi arc is just the first half of the Aurum arc except it isn’t cause it’s actually the first half of the Chaos Kin arc and—

Okay, so. The Aurum arc gave me an overwhelming sense of uhhh calamity. Disaster. Shit’s hit the fan and there’s more where it came from. It got worse and worse. And then Apollo.

And the Chaos Kin arc? That arc was just… hmmm. Idk. What I know is that it all felt so wrong. NOT the writing, but like… it filled me with so much dread.

I guess the difference between the two is the stakes? The world was at stake in the Aurum arc, but in the Chaos Kin arc, Palutena—the person Pit loves most—is at stake. And Pit was very willing to give up his life each time, but like… different.

I don’t know what the point of this post is but if you read it till the end uhhhh thanks?

[blackknightax]

Continuing this series, let's do a Nintendo character. So Let's do Kid Icarus. Kid Icarus is weird as a franchise. Back in Brawl I would have included Pit in the "nintendo deep cuts" category. But Kid Icarus uprising genuinely brought life back to the franchise. And it's a good game, great game even. The dialog is so good and it's hard to find a character in that game to actually dislike. It's just a fun game as I said.

Speaking of that, like I said, it's hard to find a character to dislike in Kid Icarus uprising and since every character that has ever been in the series is in that game it's pretty obvious to utilize that game's versions of the characters. So much life in that game. The list of characters I'd want from this game isn't a short list. I'd want a villain character like Hades, Thanatos, even Pandora has a bunch of potential. I'd want a forces of Nature character, Phosphora, Viridi, even the butler dude who's I admittedly forgot. I'd even genuinely love Pyron as a playable character, he'd be so chaotically fun. Of course, I can (or should at least) only choose one. For that reason I've chosen...

I've chosen Thanatos! I chose Thanatos because he has such a chaotic personality that would make him super fun. He was also one of few bosses in the game you battle twice and the two bosses are completely different! Thanatos is a shapeshifter in Kid Icarus, both parts of his body and his entire body. This makes a fun base point for a move set! So let's begin!

For his Side B he transforms He uses the nesting doll form. In this game it changes the properties of his attacks. Think monado, but random.

For his Up B he transforms into his bat form and flies back up. He doesn't need to be a be a bat to fly, but he's a really extra character so it makes sense. When it runs out it goes into special fall. He can still air dodge while doing this by splitting into bats

For his Side B he transforms into his spear form and dashes forward with both the spear and the swords surrounding the spear, doing several hits.

For his Down B he transforms into his Urn form and if attacked it explodes as a counter. He takes about half damage while he's in this form and reflects damage taken at a 1.5 times multiplier. For example, an attack that does 20 would be reflected for 30. But it has a LOT of launch power. Be very afraid of the jar.

Obviously I'm going for he transforms completely for special moves and partly for his normals. Just a fun little idea. I admit Phosphora is my second choice because she's fun and I like the characters associated with Viridi.

My favourite character trope is just a character that’s actually kind of an opponent to the main character/s but is forcibly becoming a part of their squad and is also the first one the main characters ask for help if anything happens

Surface Pressure & Pegasus Feathers AU/fic Concepts: Zephyr Lily / Rain Flower :)

Here is a quick visual aid for Zephyr Lily (also known as Rain Flower in Skyworld), Dark Pit's pegasus companion in my KUI AU/fic! (Btw if you're seeing this concept for the first time, everything related is linked in my fic under read more :)

Here are some story-related fun facts ^^

-She was adopted by her herd when she was a foal (Snowfall Fury & Dust Storm took care of her, and she later helped look after their foals (her siblings) for a while before meeting Dark Pit and deciding to leave the nest to help him with his missions)

-Inspiration for her design/name: When I was younger I got a black horse stuffed animal with a white spot on its forehead, which was like the center of a flower to me, so I named her Flower! 

Dark Pit thinks the same thing, except he chooses a specific kind of flower: A rainflower/zephyrlily :)

Because of her inspiration, I like the idea that she was a stuffed animal brought to life through some magic means somehow. I don't know how it would make sense technically, but I think it makes her being drawn to Dark Pit extra special because they were both born from magic ^^

-Rainflowers symbolize rebirth, new beginnings and big expectations (very relevant to Dark Pit in this fic)

It also has another meaning:  "I love you back, I must atone for my sins, I will never forget you"

I would split this between three characters.

I love you back (Dark Pit), I must atone for my sins [mistakes] (Palutena), I will never forget you (Pit)

But telling you exactly why would be spoilers lol, I like to be cryptic ;)))

You can definitely theorize though, all will be clearer eventually! ^^

[moooosh]

it’s because lilies mean gay

I feel I should include where I know these actors from

Alexis Tipton voiced Pearl Fey in the Ace Attorney Anime Dub

Veronica Taylor is Ash Ketchum's 4Kids actor and Sarah Natochenny voiced him from Diamond and Pearl onward.

Tara Strong is a very talented voice actress whose voiced more cartoon characters then I can count

Mark Hamill's voice talent is part of what inspired me to want to do voice acting. Anyway he voiced The Joker in Batman The Animated Series, but also voices way more characters. He's got great range

Amanda C. Miller voiced Cherche in Fire Emblem Awakening, and also voiced Sully in the same game which I did not know until doing research

Bryan Massey voiced Gumshoe in the Ace Attorney Anime

Clancy Brown has voiced characters like Lex Luthor but his smoother voice fits the character I assigned him imo.

Jesse McCartney voiced Robin in Young Justice and voiced Roxas in Kingdom Hearts. His voice can be very gentle, so I thought it fit.

Sarah Blandy voiced Midori in Fire Emblem Fates

Lindsay Seidel voiced Maya Fey in the Ace Attorney Anime

Scarlett Johansen is the mandatory celebrity voice actor.

Troy Baker has voiced Batman multiple times, has voiced The Joker twice, and voiced Espio The Chameleon. So...deep voice.

Xander Mobus is The Dark Prince's current voice actor

Tomoko Kandea is Carbuncle's current Japanese voice actress

Yuri Lowenthal has voiced multiple character but I chose him for this role due to his performance as Ricken from Fire Emblem Awakening

Evelyn Huynh voiced Amitie in Puyo Puyo Fever

Hunter MacKenzie voiced Nowi in Fire Emblem Awakening

Julie Andrews is another mandatory celebrity casting

Brett Walter voiced Raffina in Fever

Thessaly Lerner voiced Klug in Fever

Erica Schroeder has voiced multiple cute Pokémon such as Eevee, Ditto, Meloetta, and Amaura

Laura Fey Smith voiced both male and female Kana in Fire Emblem Fates

Ron Perlman has voiced evil characters before, such as Killer Croc, Rumor, and Bane from The Batman, and Slade from Teen Titans. Given how I consider the character I cast him as to he a manipulator, I think the guy who voiced Slade fits

Greg Cipes voiced Beast Boy in Teen Titans

Tom Kenny voiced many characters. Including SpongeBob and Plastic Man

Michele Knotz has voiced many Pokémon and Pokémon Characters but I chose her for this role due to her performance as Pokémon Trainer in Super Smash Bros Brawl

Teresa Gallagher voiced Teri in The Amazing World Of Gumball

Lani Minella voices Lucas in the Super Smash Bros series, and voiced Pit in Super Smash Bros Brawl

Julie Ann Taylor voiced Severa in Fire Emblem Awakening

Jim Cummings has been a LOT of things. But he has a deep voice. Seriously he's in alot.

Dani Chambers voiced Iris and Dahlia Hawthorne in the Ace Attorney Anime

Kayzie Rogers voiced Tuff in Kirby Right Back At Ya, and has voiced Pokémon such as Axew, Bellosom, Wobbufett, and Jolteon

Kerry Williams voiced Tiff in Kirby Right Back At Ya

Billy Bob Tompson has voiced the Froakie line of Pokémon and male Pokémon Trainer in Super Smash Bros Ultimate

I don't think ProZD needs explanation, look at his YouTube channel. As for why I chose him for this role, deep voice.

Amber Hood voiced Nyx in Fire Emblem Fates

Weird Al was a suggestion from @smb0 and it fits so I took it.

Cree Summer voiced Hippolyta and Medusa in Wonder Woman Bloodlines, and voiced Medusa in Kid Icarus Uprising

Ikue Ōtani is the voice of Pikachu

Andrew Rannells voiced Nightmare in Kirby Right Back At Ya

Antony Del Rio voiced Pit and Dark Pit in Kid Icarus Uprising

Jason Griffith voiced Sonic The Hedgehog in many games (he also voiced Cilan in the Pokémon anime but that's not why I chose him for this role)

Brianna Knickerbocker voiced Charlotte in Fire Emblem Fates

Liam O'Brien voiced Inigo in Fire Emblem Awakening

Erin Fitzgerald voiced Morrigan in Cross Edge

Hynden Walch voiced Viridi in Kid Icarus Uprising (also Starfire in Teen Titans but I picked her because of her performance as Viridi)

Kari Wahlgreen voiced Phosphora in Kid Icarus Uprising

John DiMaggio voiced Bender in Futurama and that voice on a tiny flea is funny to me so that's why I chose him for Nomi

Marcus Stimac voiced Shelly deKiller in the Ace Attorney Anime

Lisa Ortiz voiced Amy Rose for awhile

Michelle Ruff voiced Noire in Fire Emblem Awakening

Ali Hillis voiced Palutena in Kid Icarus Uprising

Jay Goede voiced MewTwo in Pokémon The First Movie

Laura Bailey voiced Lucina in Fire Emblem Awakening

Samantha Kelly voices Princess Peach

Cassandra Lee Morris is Ringo's English Voice

Spike Spencer is Maguro's English Voice

Keith David and Kevin Michael Richardson have deep voices

Bryce Papenbrook is who gave me that push to become a voice actor. I actually met him. So I had to include him. And why cast him as Ecolo? Just look at his performance as Henry from Fire Emblem Awakening

I know that this Puyo Puyo cinematic universe will never be real, but I can dream, can't I?

Anyway, @colorfullaudino @elder-sister ya'll prolly want explanations.

Honestly, if I could, I would write this fic, but with my current trio of Puyo Fics, and Pokémon in: Madou Monogatari/Puyo Puyo, and Puyo Attorney, and my inability to condense a story to a movie runtime (so make it between 1 hour 30 minutes and 2 hours) I don't think I'll get far in this

All-Stars Images in Super Smash Bros

I love how much story/personality is added in Smash Bros for Kid Icarus Characters.

Like Kid Icarus is one a of the few franchises where Smash bros is Canon to it's story and it really shows. With chants of "Pittoo" when Dark Pit is winning, them talking about smash in Uprising, etc etc. But there are so many smaller details that are so cool too.

The main one I want to talk about is at the bottom so you can skip there

One of my favourite smaller details is the Screencaps and Congratulations Screens

The two screen caps have Magnus.

Magnus (with Palutena) shows up in two Screencaps, one with Pit and another with Dark Pit. And you can tell which one of them spend time with him.

In Pit's, Magnus just looks determine on fighting who he's meant to be fighting (default face) but Pit look so unnecessary aggressive it makes it funny. But I also enjoy how Palutena is looking from a far, like watching over, which gives off the vibes of her role in Uprising, watching over Pit and his shenanigans but rarely being directly involved.

In Dark Pit's, he's barely addressing Magnus (only time they interacted I believe) which makes sense but what's so funny is Palutena is wearing black. Did she want to match Dark Pit???? Both of them?? The idea that she wanted to change colour quickly. Great. She also is more action based here. Ready for battle!!

Another Screencaps with Phosphora. It's just fun to see them together after KI:U. The effort to make them strike similar poses. Hanging out to beat people or each other. Did Viridi approve this? Haha. I also just really like this Image, in front of the world, Light and Lightning.

Having Magnus and Phosphorus are in smash can make things interesting, assuming it's voluntary.

There are screencaps for Events too that are also cool.

'Doppelgänger Duel' Event.

(what a suprise there)

Showing Dark pit posing which oddly makes him less ready for battle then Pit who's ready to go. Hah.

Also reminds me of Together Mode from KI:U

'An Offering of Coins' Event

This Screencap is interesting cause obviously the connotation here is "offerings to a deity" but having both Pit and Dark Pit is what makes it interesting to look into. In Smash Dark Pit is shown more toned down, and more willing to hijinks as oppose to being baffled by them in KI:U. A lot of his screencaps are more silly. Though still a good amount of the two of them fighting though.

And the two All-Stars Wii-U Congratulations Screencaps.

In both Palutena and Pittoo's Screencap Pit. Though two very different situations.

I don't need to go into this one too much haha. While it's funny that Palutena's Congratulations screencap is such a silly one (bunny ears, flowers, Pit's blushing etc), but not all that surprising.

Though it much be interesting to be in person with Palutena in Smash, as in all Kid Icarus Games they are almost never together in person.

One of the main scenes in game that they were together for was when Pit was literally unconscious/dead.

Smash must be a really unique experience in that case for Pit. And Palutena too.

Though the main screencap I wanted to talk about was this.

Dark Pit's Screen has very different vibes, and why I looked into screencaps in the first place.

You kind of expect his screen to be him fighting Pit or him doing a cool pose but no. It's just sitting there, with Pit by his side.

At first glance this may look boring but it's actually really fascinating.

Pit has his weapon down and looks like he's almost falling asleep, besides Dark Pit of all people. Now they are allies (friends) at the end of Uprising, but they still come off as bitter rivals, with other images of them fighting, Palutena's Guidance, even Dark Pit's introduction is slightly sinister and yet, his screen cap is just the two of them sitting there.

But probably the most important detail is that they aren't just sitting there. They're on a plane, they're flying together. Sure, it's not in the normal sense of how they would do it with their wings but it still is flying. Almost like the ending of Uprising. But without Palutena or Viridi (or Pandora for Dark Pit). Just them two, enjoying flying together.

And flying is a very personal thing for both of them, (which I plan to talk about soon,) so them sharing a moment such as this is sweet. So for all things to be for Dark Pit final victory screen for All Stars. It's just him and Pit, enjoying flight.

It also gives the idea that Dark Pit has become more open since Uprising.

Into the fading dawn I´ll beat all the odds The world keeps fighting on So I scream to the sky Damn the gods!

Happy 7th birthday to this funky goth angel and (one of) my Smash main(s), Dark Pit~! 💜🏹

I intended to make the background similar to that of Chapter 6, specifically one of the alternate sections in the Land Battle where Dark Pit snipes at you with his namesake weapon~ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  //aka the easiest part of Chapter 6 for me personally :P

[brushstrokesapocalyptic]

it’s time for the “overanalyzing one-off lines” show!

so the very first thing magnus says when he sees pit in chapter 2 of kid icarus: uprising is as follows:

“Well, I didn’t expect to see an angel here. Hope this doesn’t mean I’ve kicked the bucket.”

now, i’m not sure if you’re aware, but that’s a really weird thing for someone to say, and it’s even more weird that no one comments on it. pit and palutena go on talking about unrelated things, as if that’s a totally normal and expected thing for magnus to say.

now, if you’re like me, you probably also didn’t really react to this line the first few times you saw it. it’s the second chapter, kiu has a lot of slightly-odd lines which turn out to be foreshadowing. me, personally? my first thought was “oh, i guess angels are probably associated with escorting the dead to the afterlife,“ and then i moved on.

they’re not, though. that’s what reapers do. and there’s no way humans have these two races mixed up. just fucking look at them.

do they look anything alike to you??? no. they don’t. which raises the question of why, exactly, magnus said that.

now, we don’t know a lot about angels as a whole. pit (and by extension dark pit) is emphatically not the gold standard of angeldom. we can assume he looks fairly ordinary for an angel, seeing as no one has trouble identifying him as such. beyond that, though, a lot of what we know about angels comes from what pit isn’t. for starters, he can’t fly. and there’s something else, too, but i’ll get to that later.

before that, though, i’m gonna go through the various unsubstantiated comments made by people with a dubious level of authority on the subject. (incidentally, i sourced these screenshots from the wiki— much more convenient than trying to dig through youtube for every single random conversation.)

without any further ado! let’s get into it!

Angels as Messengers

Gaol: Aw, Palutena’s little messenger boy. And Magnus, it’s always a pleasure. (src)

in the specific context of overanalyzing magnus’s first line, this is an important sentence to pick out. magnus and gaol are both humans, both with presumably a fairly similar history as mercenaries up until gaol got stuffed in a suit of armor. but while magnus makes a weird comment about death, gaol calls pit a messenger.

and pit agrees with her!

Viridi: I wish I had an angel to do my bidding. It’s like having an intern.

Pit: I’m not an intern. I’m a messenger of the gods!

Viridi: Poor Pit. Don't you know that the definition of angel is "errand spirit"? (src)

this particular conversation is the most insight we get into angels as a whole, i think. viridi thinks of angels as like divine interns, there to do little tasks for gods, and palutena doesn’t exactly disagree with her. pit says they’re specifically messengers, which lines up with biblical mythology. i could see the traditional role of angels in the world of KI being exactly that, showing up to tell the humans what the gods have to say because the gods themselves are too busy being petty jerks to do it themselves.

The Angel’s Code of Conduct

Magnus: You go in fully dressed? Don't you at least want to change into a...swimming tunic or something?

Pit: Oh, no no no! The angel's code of conduct says that we must always be ready for duty.

Magnus: I guess you wouldn't be an angel if you didn't do things by the book. (src)

Pit: Hey! You know the angel's code of conduct! I need to be prepared at all times! (src)

another random little thing is the angel’s code of conduct. without a larger sample size, we can’t know if it’s a real thing or just an excuse to save on laundry, but apparently it’s against the rules to not be on call at all times. in pit’s case, the duty he has to be ready for is doing palutena’s dirty work, but it can easily mean just about anything— including, of course, being a messenger.

No Warrior

Chariot Master: But you are no warrior, angel. Tell me, why do you fight?

Pit: I fight for Lady Palutena. And I fight for the people under her protection!

Chariot Master: That's not reason enough for an angel. (src)

remember how i said there was something else weird about pit? the chariot master seems to think angels aren’t very prone to battle— or perhaps even that they’re actively opposed to it. this lines up well with the idea that they’re supposed to be messengers, peaceful go-betweens for gods and mortals. this does not line up well with pit, the adorable weapon of mass destruction.

and it also does absolutely nothing to explain the question driving the whole existence of this post.

you know what does kinda lean towards an explanation?

No Other Angels

Pit: Do all gods have their own angels, like you have me?

Palutena: No, I don't think that's necessarily the case. (src)

i said before that the Intern Pit conversation had the most illuminating information on angels. this is what i was actually referring to. on its own, it’s pretty innocuous, but it’s just as weird as the magnus line. shouldn’t pit know about other angels, seeing as he is one himself? but he doesn’t know if there are other angels.

the only angels we ever see are him and his clone. no one ever directly references the existence of other angels, they only make general statements about what angels as a whole are like— statements which clearly don’t apply to pit, meaning they’re not just extrapolating based on the one angel that definitely does exist.

the one time someone does comment on the hypothetical existence of other angels, palutena gives a vague answer to the tune of “no,” the topic is changed, and no one brings it up again.

let’s go over everything i’ve established about angels up to this point. they can fly, they’re peaceful messengers of the gods, and pit is the only one that seems to exist as of the start of KIU.

it should be pretty obvious at this point what answer i’m dancing around, if it wasn’t obvious from the start. pit is the only angel around because all the other ones are dead. the reason why magnus said what he did is that his thought process went something like this:

See an angel.

Think “Aren’t angels extinct? Is that a ghost? Am I a ghost? I sure hope not.“

Make a quip about that.

Move on with his life, because he isn’t dead and evidently neither is this guy.

i’m not gonna pretend i went into this post with the intent of any other conclusion to that mystery. anyone who’s bothered glancing over a plot summary for the original kid icarus can draw that conclusion. it’s certainly what i did, reinforced by fics by people who had the same thought!

the truth, however, is that this was all a trick to get you to read my analysis of the theoretical nature of angels as a race. now that you’re invested, i’m going to dramatically throw aside my cape and reveal my TRUE FORM: telling people that fandom consensus is wrong, and my ideas are cooler and better than everyone else’s and you should all throw roses at my feet and bow before your king.

(or just, y’know, take it as the subjective analysis that it is. whatever floats your boat.)

Hot Takes

the original kid icarus does not actually tell you about angels going extinct. here’s the wiki article with the full text of the backstory, just for convenience, so you know what i’m on about for the rest of this post.

so, the part of the story that i think gets misinterpreted is this part about palutena’s army.

Medusa led a surprise attack on Palutena's army which could barely fend off the attack. Palutena's army suffered major losses and was heavily defeated in the final battle.

specifically, i think a lot of people interpret said army as having been made up at least partly of angels. sure, in the actual game it consists entirely of centurions, but you have to take old NES games with a grain of salt. i know i don’t buy for a second that pit was part of palutena’s guard before the original game (he was just too goddamn young), there’s nothing wrong with reinterpreting things.

recall everything i established about angels already, though. this is the hot official lore, from the game everyone knows and loves. angels are messengers, and if the chariot master is to be believed, never warriors. pit is an outlier. palutena’s army consists of centurions, not angels. if medusa wiped them out, it wasn’t because they were fighting for palutena.

(and honestly, i don’t think angels are necessarily associated with palutena exclusively. sure, she’s got the wing imagery, and she’s got the one known surviving angel working for her, at least up until pittoo is born. but angels are messengers of the gods, not messengers of palutena. again, pit is an outlier.)

which all brings us to the real question of this post.

what the FUCK happened to all the other angels? why is there only pit? why does magnus act surprised to see a messenger of the gods, and make a quip about being dead, if not because angels are otherwise extinct?! WHO KILLED THEM, AND WHY?!

thus concludes the “over analyzing one-off lines“ show. see you next, uh, maybe at some point if i feel like it!

(also another thought i had but couldn’t find room to fit it in properly: the gods don’t really act like angels are all extinct, but i feel like that can be explained through the sheer scale of a god’s lifespan. if we assume they were wiped out sometime around the original kid icarus (even if not as palutena’s army) then that’s a whole twenty-five years. that’s a long time for us humans, but for a god, that might as well be last tuesday. “yeah, i know what angels are like. sure wish i could have one. too bad palutena’s got a monopoly on the one single angel that medusa didn’t manage to wreck.”)

[shiny-jr]

WAIT SHINY YOU’VE PLAYED KID ICARUS UPRISING??? god that makes me so happy to hear—it’s one of my fav games ever!!

i know this is way different from the content that you usually share/post on this blog, but would you be willing to share some thoughts on the game and/or its characters? i’d just love to hear what you have to say—if you have anything to say, ofc. the game is kinda old and i have no clue if you remember enough to share, plus this is completely different from your usual content

no pressure to answer this ofc! you can delete if you want—i’m honestly just hella happy that someone has played this game, i just love it sm <3

I did. It's one of the few not incredibly popular Nintendo games I've ever played, the only other one like it that I can think of at the top of my head is recent installments of the Fire Emblem series. Anyways, I got into it because I used to be absolutely obsessed with Super Smash Bros. You know, that game where you can fight as characters from different game series? Yeah, that one. Obsessed didn't even begin to describe it, I lived and breathed that game. But that's a whole other story. Anyways, my first main in SSB was Palutena, which is what got me to try the Kid Icarus game.

It's been a while since I played it. I want to say that the first and last time I played it was over five years ago, and I think I completed it fairly quickly too. Anyways, I like the character designs of the gods and the voice acting is neat to. I also remembering enjoying the twist that Medusa wasn't the final enemy, and you actually had a lot left to do before you can take on the true final boss Hades.

I don't remember a lot, but I do remember some of the main characters like Pit, Palutena, Pittoo, Viridi. Pit is a lovable protagonist. Yeah, he's all nice and friendly and heroic but it's not annoying. I actually really like him. Palutena's dialogue with Pit was always amusing to listen to, but I kind of wish we saw more of her in action. It felt like she was just the player in control and Pit was just the chess piece. Pittoo was an interesting addition. I wasn't really against it, I don't remember a lot besides Pit saving him. At first Viridi was very annoying antagonist, but then she became better and I liked her bickering with Pit.
