i know everyone likes to put tharja in the "yandere goth girl" category but tbh i feel like pigeonholing her into one specific archetype does a huge disservice to her character. is she obsessed with curses and robin? yes. is she constantly shoved into a fanservice role by intsys? absolutely.

but i think a lot of people forget just how impactful a lot of her supports are...there's something about tharja that makes nearly everyone who interacts with her divulge their deepest secrets and points of anxiety with her. we see this with libra, who tells her of the abandonment he endured at the hands of his parents. we see it with nowi, whose cheerful demeanor slips off as she tells tharja of her missing parents. and although tharja is not the only one lon'qu confides in regarding ke'ri, their support is notably the only one in which lon'qu divulges that there was romantic involvement between he and his childhood friend.

and despite her antisocial exterior, she always listens mindfully and offers to help! she even goes out of her way to discreetly help the shepherds (getting virion to do odd jobs that benefit civilians, interrogating henry to make sure he bears no ill will towards ylisse, etc).

a big thing about tharja is that she IS kind. she IS considerate. she just also has a reputation to uphold as a dark mage and that (paired with her overall awkwardness ofc) makes her true nature hard to see at first glance

i really love the idea of chrom!inigo!soleil. i think lucina is already a lot like chrom in terms of brashness but shes also like #demure about it (not REALLY but. compared to chrom) but soleil? SOLEIL? you know who’s about to break those training dummys like no ones every broken training dummys before? you know who punches the fuck outta walls for no damn reason? you know who’d eat oranges with the peel on? soleil. a mini chrom if i ever did see one. laslows in nohr like “wah wah. i miss my mama. good thing my daughter looks like her” and then soleil says “DAMN YOU” to an enemy and hes like “oh god. she took after the wrong grandparent.” i think her brand is in the same place as chrom’s.

If I had a nickel anytime a crossover original character were involved with yikes ped*phile moments, I would have 2 nickels, which isn't a lot but it's massively disturbing it happened twice (Which FTR the Kingdom Hearts manga were massively unhinged as this was one of the things I know besides Cid blasting the heartless with a big gun)

So, I full-out re-read one of my old Fire Emblem fanfictions last night after running into someone here on tumblr who said they'd loved that specific old fic. @litlunacy Said same fic is on Ao3. I re-read reviews on both sites. (ff was 2 idiots, Ao3 gave me actual smart reviews). And...I sort of realized something about me and media in general... (Getting long, so read-cut).

One of the reviews there (Ao3) I'd forgotten about got my attention, a guest review by someone I'm sure I actually know, by the style of the review, they are definitely someone who flagged me down on tumblr and who became a mutual and who has PM-chatted with me. They're pretty interesting to talk to. Fire Emblem (all games) is apparently a special interest / core fandom of theirs and they've told me a lot about the lore across the franchise and the mechanics I didn't know. Appreciated, even as I've told them that I've only played a few of the games, and am really only fandom-focused on Awakening. (Fates failed to enchant me. Haven't played enough Three Houses yet. Nada on older games yet). In other words, I treat/have treated my Fire Emblem: Awakening fandom the same way as I treat my Elder Scrolls fandom (I've only played Skyrim). Anything I do creative fanwise will be centered "pretty much on the characters and setting of that game ONLY despite there being a bunch of lore." This is very different from when I do Legend of Zelda fandom work, since I've been a player of that series since I was a pup. Or with Trigun, oh, GOD, Trigun! (Two different animes for that one so far and the core-manga). Trigun owns my soul and if @litlunacy - who loves them some Libra from FE: wants more in the ways of gentle but fighting-capable traumatized blond men, may I offer you a Vash the Stampede in this trying time? Or, if traumatized priests in general are more your thing, may I offer you a Nicholas D. Wolfwood? Anyway, Guest Reviewer talked about the original Japanese iteration of Awakening and how there was transphobia in the story / Chrom being a jerk that was cut out of the English / American localization in a big way (and guessing who they are, they've talked with me a LOT about this). Libra was not trans in my fic, but faces similar social difficulties for reasons obvious to the character. I've kind of realized "I do not care as it is not relative to what I am doing" - in the way of "I go by the localization." If the English-language version (cleaned up of some of the original problematic stuff) is what I am "using" as my fan-base, THAT is the thing I am enjoying. I will readily consider the original a different story and ignore it! It's like, "maybe the original was problematic, but the thing localizers made of it is not or less so" so I'm enjoying the story that I know. (This is very different to how I approach Trigun, for instance, in which I MUST know all lore and translations back, forth and sideways, but that's only because it's my soul-core fandom). Fire Emblem? Less so. I love Awakening's characters, but I choose to love their English-language versions. If Chrom is a better man in English, so be it! It's like... I don't know, how "Samurai Pizza Cats" purposefully went off the rails in English localization and is, quite deliberately, a different show than the Japanese original (and the original creators freaking LOVE it)!

emmeryn is such a fascinating awakening character, especially now with her young self in heroes providing extra padding & insight into her….

like she inherited an entire country at nine years old. an entire country where everyone hated its rule, because her father had certainly earned his terrible reputation, and the people took it out on her because he was no longer around for them to blame. she had to reach out to her people and slowly re-earn their trust and prove that she could be a kind and capable person and ruler starting at age nine. and she wanted to prove herself as a capable ruler and an advocate for peace to the countries who were ruined by her father past her own. like, her lv40 child alt dialogue…

Father taught us that, as descendants of the Hero-King, we are to rule Ylisse and other kingdoms with force. Had Father not died so suddenly, Chrom would have followed in these footsteps and invaded our neighbors. I would never wish for such a terrible future as that. Perhaps now that I have succeeded to the throne we have a chance to change our fate. I will exercise my power to rid Ylisse of brutality. I wish for no army. And no war. True peace comes through dialogue, not force. And is it not my duty as exalt to enact this? I know change is far from instant. But bit by bit, my wish for peace will come true.

on top of all that she was given so much personal responsibility that she on-the-record considered herself more of a mother than a sister to her siblings. she and chrom were just six years apart and yet because of her responsibilities she (and frederick) ended up raising him and lissa entirely. she couldn’t be a sister. she had to be a parent. she couldn’t be a child. she had to be a ruler.

and then she died at age 25, willingly sacrificing herself to show there is always another option, both saving chrom from making a difficult decision and dooming him to the necessity of knowing that that he will someday have to step up to the plate and make these without someone making them for him, now that she’s passing the torch as a ruler and leader. and then awakening kind of stomped on that by making chrom not really grow past a lot of his aggression or inability to make hard choices as a ruler because he’s still willing to sacrifice the future for a single person to the end. sorry chrom

Fate has a way.......

[hello-eeveev]

wait I’m so pissed about this actually

so i’ve always thought this art of phineas was very cute, with how he’s just got one arm bare after taking off his mica pauldron. other pieces of art give him a full sleeve beneath, which makes sense, but I’ve always had a fondness for how silly and awkward he looks like this.

but you know what I realized. do you wanna guess why I might have an affinity for this particular design?

it’s this guy.

this freaking guy.

because of course it is. it’s always him.

(I love him so much.)

Mini Fanfic #1194: The Adorable Lovebirds of Darkness! (SSBU X Fire Emblem)

10:42 a.m. atthe Smash Mansion's Dining Hall...........

Marth: And that, my friends, is the story of how I, Caeda and many other brave men and women of the army risked our lives to protect and fight for the honor and safety of our homelands from the overflowing forces of darkness and evil, until the very ends of the Earth.

Chrom: (Smiles Proudly) And it's a story that continues to be told by many countless generations ever since.....(Turns his Attention Lucina and Owain) So whatcha kids think? Still holds up?

Lucina: (Happily Nodded) It does, father. Very much so.

Owain: Yes. ('Sniff') (Wipes Away a Single Tear From his Eyes) It was perfect. Beautiful. Everything straight to last, critical detail. (Smiles Brightly) Encore please!~

Lucina: (Turns to her Cousin) Owain, he told us this story five times already. Aren't you tired of it being told over and over again yet?

Owain: (Happily Shakes his Head at Lucina) Never of the sort, cousin. It's not everyday you get to hear a tale as so heartfelt and inspirational from the legendary hero and prince himself!

Marth: (Smiles Sheepishly to Owain's Praise) I-I wouldn't exactly call myself a legend in any capacity, but I thank you both for taking the time to hear me ramble on about my many misadventures.

Owain: Oh think nothing of the sort, you majesty.(Happily Bows His Head Down to Marth) And I thank you for joining us on this glorious morning. (Chuckles Lightly) Which is absolutely perfect because.....(Smiles More Sheepishly Himself) I may need to ask you all something....

Chrom: Sure. What's up?

Owain: You have crushes before, right? (Turns Away a Bit While Twiddling his Fingers Around) What was it like to fall for them from afar?

Marth: ('Sighs Dreamingly') The best feeling in the world~ I remember the days when Caeda and I first worked together. Her kind heart, fierce determination, and grateful beauty has always managed to capture both my heart and mind to tis very day~

Chrom: (Smiles Fondy About his Significant Other) The same goes for me with Olivia. She's more on the shy and adorable side, brave whenever she needs to be, and her dancing..... (Let's Out a Whistle Before Daydreaming About Olivia Inviting Him into Many of Their "Private" Dance Lessons) The way she moves to the music rhythm with such class and rhythm is always a sight to behold~ And her hips-

'Clears Throat'

Chrom immediately comes back to reality as he turns to see his daughter staring at him, raising an eyebrow in silence.

Chrom: I-I-I mean, uh- (Clears his Throat Before Putting onnan Awkward Smile) Her dancing! Is.....truly amazing over. (Chuckles Awkwardly)

Lucina: ('Sigh') Whatever you say, father. (Crosses her Arms With Proud Smile on her Face) Meanwhile, I can safely say that I have never encountered a crush of any kind.

Owain: (Covers his Mouth While Purposely Letting Out a Cough)

Lucina: (Turns Back to Owain with Suspicion in her Eyes) What was that just now?

Owain: (Casually Shrugs) Oh no, don't mind me. Just calling out blasphemy when I clearly hear it right next to me.

Lucina: (Eyes Widened in Complete Shock) Blasphemy!? (Pouts at her Cousin) Owain Everfield Yliston, I am telling the honest truth here! I never have a crush on anyone!

Owain: (Playfully Raises an Eyebrow at Lucina) Really? Cause I seemed to remember how pretty bashful and jumpy you easily get whenever Gerome catches your much needed attention~

Lucina: That was a long time ago, Owain! You know that!! (Turns Away While Twirling her Hair Around and Blushing at the Thought of the Masked Young Man) Besides, I'm certain he has a million other things to do right now in our world than to ever think about me.....

Owain. (Gives Lucina a Reassuring Smile) Oh don't fret, Lucina. I'm sure he misses you just as much as you miss him right now.

Lucina: ('Sigh') I suppose. But wait. (Turns Back to Owain) What makes you want to ask us this kind of question in the first place? Unless- ('Gasps') Owain! Do you have a crush on someone yourself?

Owain: W-Who? Me? ('Scoffs') Please! (Chuckles Very Awkwardly) Of course not!! There's no way that, I, Odin the Dark, would ever fall for something as trivial as LOVE before! That's crazy.

Chrom: (Gives Owain the Mild Fatherly Glare) Owain, what did your father and mother tell you about being more honest with your feelings?

Owain: ('Sighs in Defeat') Never hesitate while doing so. I remember.....

Marth: (Gives Owain a Reassuring Smile on his Face) There's really no need for you to feel shy about this, Owain. This tends to happen to the most of us at times.

Lucina: (Nodded in Agreement) That's right. (Places her Hand on Top of Owain's Hand Woth a Smile of her Own) And you know as well as I do that I will not let anyone judge and make fun of you for it. (Smirks a Bit) Less they are brave enough to answer to me, of course~

Owain: (Snickers a Bit) Right. Thank you, cousin.

Lucina: You're always welcome. Now quit stalling tell us the identity of your crush already.

Owain: Don't rush me, woman, I was gonna! ('Sigh') But if you really must know that badly, then-

?????: U-Um

The soft, but shy spoken voice was more than enough for Owain get startled and jolt himself up from his seat as he turns to see the source of the voice talking to him was none than the Princess of Hyrule, Zelda.

Owain: Oh. (Sheepishly Greets the Princess) A-Ahoy there, my fair maiden!

Zelda: (Giggles a Bit With a Shy, But Bright Smile on her Face) Good morning, Owain!~ Or was it Odin? I....still couldn't decide what to call you, they both sound great.

Owain: (Forms a Jojo Darkened Pose) will forever be known as Odin the Wicked Darkness of Solitary!- (Winces a Bit as He Felt Lucina's Shoulder Bumping his Leg Before Smiling at Zelda Again) B-But I mostly prefer that you call me Owain instead. It is my true birth name after all.

Zelda: Owain it is then..

Marth: (Whispers to Chrom) So it was Zelda this entire time.

Chrom: Not what I expected, but I welcome it.

Lucina: (Shushes Both of the Men in Frint of Her)

Owain/Zelda: (Turbs Away Bashfully) So I was wondering- (Eyes Widened) Oh! (Laughs a Bit Before Turning Back to One Another)

Zelda: Do you wanna tell me first or......

Owain: (Politely Bows to Zelda) After you, milady~

Zelda: (Giggles Some More) Aw~ You are such a gentleman for a Wicked Darkness of Solitary!~

Owain: (Chuckles Lightly) Hey-ey now! My heart may have engulfed in darkness, but I was still raised right! For the most part.

Zelda: Sure, sure, I believe you~ But um- ('Clears Throat') No seriously, I....wanna ask you if....(Turns Away While Twirling her Hair Around a Bit) You want and .....if you're not super busy, that...I can....show you more around town sometime this week? Y-You know, given that you're still new here and all.....Just the two of us?

Owain: (Smiles Brightly) Why, Yes! I'd love that. How's later today sounds?

Zelda: Again, it's perfectly fine if you don't- (Turns Back to Owain) Wait, really? Are you sure?

Owain: (Chuckles Lightly) Positive! I never really have that busy of a schedule as of right now and I do always yearn for more adventures, especially in a place as big and more expressive as this. (Smiles Sheepishly Again While Rubbing the Back of his Head Back and Forth) Then again, I do that fear that my inexperience and cluelessness could potentially lead the both of us into trouble.

Zelda: (Giggles Once More) Relax, I know this town like the back side of my necklace. I got this. I hope

Owain: If you insist- (Politely Bows to Zelda Again) Then I am more than willing to put my trust in you to take the lead, your highness.

Zelda: (Happily Clap her Hands Together) Great!~ We meet up at 5:30ish to leave here?

Owain: (Smiles Brightly) Sounds reasonable to me. I'm feeling excited already.

Zelda: You and me both! We're gonna have ourselves a good time out there. B-But one more than first!

Owain: Hm?- (Eyes Widened as He Suddenly Felt Zelda's Lips Pressing on his Cheek a Bit)

Zelda: (Leans Back From Her Kiss Before Turning Away Again) I know this world is still a lot for you to get used you, but please don't worry. (Turns Back to Owain with a Bright, More Sincere Smile on her Face) Cause me and everyone else here in this nutty family are gonna give you the best time and experience here of your entire life going forward, that's a promise!~ (Slowly Starts Blushing as She Realizes What She Just Did a Brief Second Ago) A-A-Anyways! I have somewhere to be right now! Love yo- I-I mean, BYEEEE!~ (Quickly Teleports Her Way Out of the Room)

Owain: (Slowly Place his Hand Onto the Kissed Cheek as He Blushes and is Now Surprisedby What Just Happened) (What's this? A Kiss? From a the fairest of all maidens? I knew my charms were going to catch up to me eventually, but I have not the slightest clue that this eventuality would be-)

Lucina: (Sighs and Facepalms Herself as She and the Others are Watching Owain Standing There Still Surprised and Motionless) Oh no.....He's inner monlogging again, isn't he?

Chrom: Looks like it. Been a while since I've seen him done that.

Marth: (Smiles Sheepishly) I can't say I blame him for feeling this way though. It kind of reminds me of the way I acted when Caeda kissed me for the first time.

Chrom: (Grabs his Chin While Thinking) You know, now that you mention it, I do remember making that kind of face when Olivia-

Lucina: Father!

Chrom: R-Right! Right. ('Clears Throat') S-Sorry, dear.

Lucina: ('Sighs Once More')

Meanwhile at the Other Room......

Zelda: (Covering her Face Up in Basfulness While in Mewtwo's Arms) MEWWY, I KISSED THE BOY OF MY DREAMS AND LOVE ITTTTTT!~

Mewtwo: (Gently Rubs his Best Friend's Back) A surprising bold move on your part, but you did well nonetheless.

Toon: (Happily Pumps his Fist Up in the Air) YES! Finally! Every kid in this house I'd gonna owe so much money now-

Zelda: (Immediately Glares at Toon Link) WHAT!?

Toon: (Quickly Sweating Bullets in Fear) Uh.....D-Did I say money! (Chuckles Very Awkwardly) W-What I meant to say was...h-honey! Cause...you know....Bee Movie!.....

Mewtwo: (Already Giving Toon the Deadpinned Look) That has to be worse cover up lie you made yet.

Toon: ('Sighs in Utter Defeat') I'm young and greedy, sue me!

Chrobin Week Day 2: Vessels of Fate / Child Alts 🐲

Two sleeping dragons... (it's their nap time 😴)

[the-priestess-of-dawn]

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love 💗 (i love your fics and it'd be cool to see which ones you like most, but no pressure!)

This is a fair question because I have 10 bazillion fics and sometimes I do wish AO3 had like, a showcase or something, so I could usher people right to the best ones instead of them having to look at whatever happens to be most recent. So, yeah, here's the fics I would showcase if that was a real feature:

True Believers - aka the Grimleal!Chrom fic. Pretty sure this is still my magnum opus to this day, even if it does largely follow Awakening's canon plot (just altered because 1, it's original timeline-based, and 2, Chrom started worshipping Grima as a kid). It's not very heavy on Grima, because Robin only awakens at the very end, but it IS full of angsty Chrom feelings and soulful Chrobin moments and sweet, sweet dramatic irony when the god Chrom is praying to for guidance is literally right there guiding him

Find a Way - Okay so uh... sad Chrom (tfw no Robin, sacrifice ending death stuck) goes to another world to try to save Grima from despair, ends up being Grima's malewife "servant" and taking care of Morgan and Lucina. Grima tries to stay evil, but this plan obviously fails. I really like this one because it's a domestic au but it's also fucked up. Happy ending though!

eye of storm - Grima possesses Chrom (with his consent) and they go back in time to get Grima a body (because Robin died, oops. Chrom is heartbroken and Grima is really causing them both a lot of unnecessary struggles by not telling him he was Robin). Anyway, Chrom wants to change things... save Emmeryn... end the war sooner... you know. So basically it's Fire Emblem Awakening but Chrom is Lucina (he even takes a historical name, "Anri") and also he's sharing his body with the vengeful god who is secretly the love of his life :::)

the thing with feathers - "this fic is sfw but emotionally it's for the dragonfuckers okay" <- I think my tag here says it all, really. I wanted to write Chrom kissing dragon Grima's hidden human face and it took me 20k words to get it to work out.

all i want for the black parade is you - Imagine a Bad Christmas Romcom except the whole time they're baking cookies and singing carols and stuff, the love interest is awakening as an ancient dragon god... Look, it may not be the best thing I've ever written, but I'm just so enamored with the concept alone that I HAVE to include it among my favorites.
