#Dimitri/Alfonse

MEANWHILE. In another realm. I've revisited Alear's FB's

I FEEL LIKE. Alfonse's problem isn't so much that he's emotionally guarded, despite, you know, being extremely emotionally guarded. It's that He Isn't. Like. At the same time.

Consistently, without fail, Alfonse puts himself in situations where he's amicable and helpful. Their C support consists of Alfonse helping Alear see to her own odds and ends, having been brought to Askr with nothing but the clothes on her back. A common situation! He gets her a ring case to put all her rings in. So here, he's helping. And when Alear shows him the rings, and tells him the lore/significance of the rings, he takes an interest -- because of course he would! That sort of thing is right up his alley. And so he's not only amicable enough to be approachable, he's also showing interest in the things she's interested in, and having a spirited conversation about it.

Their B support consists of more of the same, just getting into the details of how Emblems work. HE DOESN'T REALIZE IT YET. But he's bonding with Alear. This goofy ass motherfucker doesn't realize this is literally how friendships are formed. Like I'm convinced he's thinking they're just talking lore and stuff and it's a casual conversation between casual allies and surely nothing emotionally charged will come out of this. He's just being friendly (without NECESSARILY becoming Friends) and there's nothing more to it, there Will be nothing more to it.

A support.

She voices A Problem. TWO things about Alfonse. 1) He was built in a lab to be a fixer (juries still out on his methods/solutions) and 2) He takes things SO personally when he relates to it. PVP enabled he's going to fucking get your ass about it. He is sooooooooo emotionally distant Up Until you fucking provoke him (AND THIS. ISN'T EVEN ENTIRELY TRUE. BC WHAT HE DOESN'T REALIZE IS GENUINELY BONDING OVER SHARED INTERESTS COUNTS TOWARDS BECOMING INVESTED IN THAT PERSON which is HOW he ended up in The Situation in the FIRST PLACE).

Which leads to him "helping" (POORLY.) (Because in all of this he IS still wired to help people)

Which just pisses him off even MORE, believing he has the Correct and Inevitable perspective and desperately wants to get Alear to see it the same way, doubling down.

(Bro I am going to hit image limit again before even making my point..... AUGH)

Alear's next lines, "That's true, but won't keeping my distance mean I appreciate them less while I have them?" / "Is that how you see your relationships with Heroes? With me?" / "No matter how much time we spend together, you'll always keep me at arm's length for when I have to go?"

Here, I think Alear is expressing to him she already sees him as her friend. I don't think Alfonse picks up on it though, trying again to get her to see his side of the issue -- as if, in his mind, they're just debating and not having an emotional conversation.

Alfonse's next lines: "Consider it from my perspective. If I am too attached to you, and you leave, I could lose my will to fight." (ALFONSE. ALFONSE. COME ON MAN.) (LIKE. Idk man if you're saying shit like that I think it's too late. It's so over for you.)

THIS ONE THOUGH. I THINK. PLEASE staywith me but it is the root of it all

Euden's (named Milo here lmfao Milo jumpscare) next line: "Do you not feel the same way about us?"

Alfonse's lines: "My apologies, but no. The forming of friendships is a thing I don't take lightly." / "It's true that I rely on the assistance of Heroes summoned from different worlds when fighting, but that is wholly different."

Alfonse lines (continued): "I have a duty, and can't afford such hurt. So if I grow close to someone, I do so accepting the potential consequences."

AAAAUGHHHH WHAT IS MY THESIS. WHAT THE FUCK AM I TALKING ABOUT. I HAVE MORE CONNECTIONS TO MAKE. AND FOR WHAT‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

SOMEHOW. His Book 1 (p sure they're from Book 1) lines to Kiran that go, "I suppose we don't know much about your world. And how rude of us to not ask until now!" / "What? Your world has buildings that scrape the sky? And what do you mean by 'cars'?" / "Like wagons... that run without horses... and are made out of metal? Fascinating." <- THESE LINES. Combined with his smiling sprite. TO ME are a direct parallel to his C and B Alear conversations, HOW, he's taking an interest in Kiran and without realizing he's growing a fondness for them.

Something SOMETHING about his cognitive dissonance about how he can be friendly without "being friends", how he's afraid of caring too much when it's clear he already cares at least a little ESPECIALLY SHOWN. In how, Alfonse doesn't realize he could have hurt Alear's feelings until she directly states it: "I understand. Still... it makes me sad."

ONLY THEN he gets his panicked(?) sprite, replying, "I apologize for upsetting you." It's here I think he finally realizes, OH. THIS IS. An emotional conversation and not like a debate of ideals and I feel bad for hurting you. BECAUSE!!!!!!!! HE'S COME TO CARE ABOUT ALEAR!!!!!!!!! IN ALL OF THIS!!!!!!!!! Whether he's fully aware of it or not, whether he LIKES it or not, he cares about her feelings and wants to make it right. Into, expressing (again that PVP "Well I took that personally" reaction he has): "I suppose it's just that, when you talk about the Emblems, how you worry, I feel as if I'm hearing my own voice."

Which S support, sets up for a resolution and mutual understanding peace and love all is well with the world 👍

ALSO the parallel to Euden, since this is the very start of what would be analogous to support conversations (side story content unlocked by powering up the character), Euden takes Alfonse's response to him in stride -- since, there's no real emotional stakes. Aside from, Euden wishing they could be friends (since he's just built like that), but ultimately giving Alfonse space and respecting his feelings about it. The Point: While they've been working together, Alfonse hasn't Quite developed that fondness yet I don't think (esp from what I remember from the main plot of the crossover event, which is next to nothing LMFAO). It develops later!!!!!!

If I hadn't hit image limit I would insert the What the FUCK are you two talking about meme here like. What the fuck AM I talking about. Can someone else make this post actually I don't think I'm qualified 😭😭😭😭😭😭

MAIN POINT.

I look at Alfonse and I go I think I hauve covid.

Alfonse: Before we head out, we'll need code names. I will be Eagle One.

Zacharias is "Been There, Done That".

Kiran is "Currently Doing That".

Dimitri is "Once In A Dream".

Fjorm is "If I Had To Pick a Girl".

Commander Anna is Eagle Two.

Anna: Oh, thank Lord Askr!

Later, when Alear is walking through.

Alfonse: "I'd Be Lying If I Said I Wasn't Tempted" is in position.

— chrom, the one on a horse and with falchion

there are two tacticians in my head and if they share nothing else beyond the fact that they both wear their oppositely-colored long hair in some form of pigtails and wear oppositely-colored tactician's cloaks and that they are brown (WE SHOULD'VE BEEN ABLE TO CHOOSE SKIN COLOR FOR ROBIN. i want to be my pretty brown girl self while smooching a prince), they share the fact that they have a thing for this weirdo

also it makes me sad that robin doesn't get to be a wind mage as much. she's the wind at his side!

in other news, i think that last line implies an indirect kiss because chrom seems like the kind of dude that'll bite into something and then make you try it because he thinks you'll like it, not understand why you won't meet his eyes

Saw this meme and thought it was too funny to pass up.

Fire Emblem Heroes-CYL Bonus Quotes + My Ideas for the Ones Who Don't Have Them

However, the winners of CYL3 (2019), CYL4 (2020), and CYL7 (2023) don't have these bonus quotes. The reasons, if the directors or higher ups of the localization team forgot or they weren't too high priority for the time, are unknown.

[real-fire-emblem-takes]

Duo unit ideas! I’ll jump onto that train!

Heiðr & Sharena as Valentine’s… or Summer… bc I ship them, they’re cute and Sharena still has that summer cipher design that’s waiting to appear in-game…

Dimitri & Edelgard for the kids banner… I like tragic siblings okay…

Bruno & Veronica… please, they deserve this. New Year’s would be nice to parallel Alfonse and Sharena’s duo but I doubt it’d happen. I don’t really know what theme for this, I just would like them to have a duo.

For a more random thing… I’m never letting go of my Seiðr & Boucheron harmonic idea that will never happen. I just think it’d be fun… they both have a bad sense of direction… and I like both of them :) Pirate theme would be so silly for this too… they can get lost sailing the seas…

I could think of more but that’s probably enough for now :))

[moe-broey]

HELP maybe this is influenced by how I'm writing this, or maybe it was supposed to be gleaned from canon and I just. Haven't fully thought about it til now. Haven't Deeply analyzed it beyond the blaring alarm bells that go off when reading this. But. Alfonse's,

Straight into.

This isn't him doubling down. This is him BACKTRACKING. This is him going, "oh fuck I think maybe I came on a little too strong maybe I was a bit too vulnerable and that's really scary. How do I fix this" and he's running through all the dialogue options in his head like Okay. Play it Cool. Keep it Casual. Proclaim your undying loyalty and devotion to your Trusted Partner (person he just told in the beginning of this conversation that he didn't intend to become friends with) by making yourself a blade and shield for them. NAILED IT 👍

[thot-farm]

More feh characters ideas but I can't remember what I said in my last post so there might be repeats. (Mainly fe14)

Leif and Líf duo

Dimitri and Xander duo

Líf and Sharena duo

Líf and Elise duo

Sharena and Elise

Xander as a maid for that butler banner or whatever it is. Maybe Xander Azura duo because all Azura does besides sing and kill is shove food in her face in her supports /j

Maybe Xander Azura songstress duo.

Sumeragi with Rajinto

Garon with Brynhildr/Siegfried (I personally want Brynhildr, I think Malig Knight Garon is canon. I don't see him just switching to an axe after losing/passing on Siegfried if he was a paladin unless he was a great knight which I just doubt, maybe Katerina or something had Siegfried🤷‍♀️.)

Katerina and Ikona. Their names exist in fates so they might as well get faces.

Then obviously a Xander Katerina duo and a Garon Katerina duo and an Ikona Sumeragi duo and a Ryoma Ikona duo since the other Hoshidan siblings don't remember Ikona? (I think that's how it is at least) Like I feel that Hinoka should have a faint memory, even if the siblings were 1 year apart and Ikona died right after Sakura, Hinoka would have been like 3 years old.

I don't know what weapon Ikona would use or if she would be a staff, I'm pretty sure it said Mikoto used Fujin yumi, so maybe Ikona did to?

I think Katerina would be a paladin and that's why Xander chose to be one.

Witch Camilla, Nina, Orochi, Ophelia, or Elise.

Spear fighter Hinoka even though infantry sucks.

Takumi Takumi duo

Azura Camilla duo

Ryoma and Askr because I already have confused them so many times (I don't know how one is a cow and the other is a lobster.)

Ash and Ryoma (Rock lobster.)

Alfonse and Líf

Ike and Hinata

Sylvain, Lorenz, Hinata and Laslow.

A heros day in the life drawing of Xander and Leo chasing Sylvain off for going near Elise like Seteth would for Flayn.

Flayn and Elise duo (they already have the exact same personal skill (Lily's poise) they might as well be paired.)

Lysithia and Camilla.

A NEW LEIF THAT DOESN'T WEILD A BOW

Xander that does wield a bow so there is a Xander for every weapon.

Leo with his ice sword

King Leo with Siegfried and King Leo with Brynhildr, one can be like fallen leo or whatever.

Hinoka with Rajinto

Alt where Sakura became queen so I can forget about Queen Camilla's existence (that unit infuriates me but if there is 2 units who make no canonical sense I'll be okay.)

More Kazes. 8 more to be precise.

Laslow Oliva and Odin Lissa like Selena and Cordelia

Caledori and Severa.

Shiro and Forrest

Oboro and Forrest

XANDER AND SIEGBERT

KANA AND SHIRO

KANA AND SIEGBERT

Fallen Chrom and day of devotion Lucina specifically.

Laslow Odin duo

Any male corrin

Summoner and Alfonse so we can make it official. We already know they are in love 🙄.

better invocations to use in order to get the Emblems out of the rings(/bracelets)

Marth - Yow! It's an enemy ambush!

Celica - Who's a good kitty?

Sigurd - Wow. Sorry to hear about the damsel in distress, but I'm afraid it'd be a huge diplomatic mess if we did anything about that...

Leif - There's a new weapon type out there. I bet you've never even heard of it.

Roy - Hey, buddy, it's okay. Larum isn't around here. You can come out now.

Lyn - Thanks for agreeing to take a good look at my back, Mr. Bandit!

Eirika - Please?

Ike - Ech, that's gross. Sorry, I'm just not into catboys.

Micaiah - We don't have time to treat that innocent person's injuries!

Lucina - Who would ever wear a dress with this many clashing colors and patterns?

Corrin - Shoes are so good. I can't imagine how anyone would dislike wearing them.

Byleth - I could've sworn I had that thing on me just last week... Did I drop it somewhere?

Tiki - Hm? … Gharnef has put you in some sort of trance, poor thing. Peace, child. Peace. Awaken.

Hector - Eliwood bet me 50G that you can't get out of there.

Soren - I really wish I had a discount on this shop...

Chrom & Robin - There are better places to sleep than on the ground, you know.

Veronica - Thanks for showing me your new nice thing, Alfonse!

Camilla - I can't believe that small child just lost their parents.

Edelgard, Dimitri & Claude - You know what? I think The Man is hiding something in that sewer.
