#I'm sorry dimitri

[thexoonder]

I'm on my three houses shit again and after all these years, I think it's finally time for me to do a Crimson Flower run. I feel that I'm finally ready

(I'm not. I will cry. But I'm gay and Hubert is hot, so I'll do it.)

um. billy is breaking it down?

...what? what do you mean that's not what it's called??

i realized that i don't draw things related to bbu NEARLY enough knowing that I've Had Enough of You was my number 1 song on spotify last year. 417 times just in half a year on JUST spotify, if you were wondering. that's a bit over 23 hours.

i think i'm gonna try to do little simplifications to dimitri because; despite how much i like him its hell to draw. why is it the only character with gradients (that i can think of off the top of my head)? i get the chimera would be more complicated, but does he need gradients? (not intended to be an insult to the design btw; i just feel having that much going on might be a bit jarring visually, and hell to replicate)

Also tbh like speaking of Dedue and his community, like, there's no way the Duscur soldiers who save him if you do his paralogue in Azure Moon knew he was there alone at the time they saved him. They had no reason to think he was in the dungeon needing rescue. They happened to show up after he had already gotten Dimitri out, but what were they doing there in the first place, unless they were also there to break out Dimitri?

Like, Dimitri's own people left him to rot, his own friends didn't come help Dedue rescue him, the people of Faerghus didn't rise up to save him. People from Duscur did.

The soldiers at the end of Dedue's paralogue think he's naive, but they promise to pay their debts, and they do. Dedue is the reason Dimitri survives when he's been all but abandoned by Faerghus. The fact that Dedue is the one who saves him when everyone else has forsaken him, that his actions to save Dedue's countrymen ultimately save Dedue also, reinforces the themes of healing broken bonds and choosing to build community instead of perpetuating the cycle of revenge. It validates Lambert's whole thesis in even trying to make peace with Duscur that it's better to make a friend than an enemy, and that building bonds will always pay off more than conquest will.

The fact that Azure Moon can't let Dedue coming back be the primary catalyst for Dimitri's healing because of the permadeath mechanic (and, tbh, the need to center the player character) is probably the single weakest aspect of Azure Moon. Thematically, Duscur is crucial to Dimitri succeeding as a king, and of letting go of his need to perpetuate the cycle of bloodshed and vengeance. It shouldn't be possible for Dimitri to have a good ending if the player lets Dedue's countrymen die. That whole situation is just too integral to the setup for his character.

(Three Hopes, it must be said, really gets all this. It's interesting how that game specifically sets up another scenario of needing to rescue Dimitri from being jailed in Fhirdiad by Cornelia, but this time Dimitri's friends back Dedue up, so he comes out of it unscathed. Even so, Felix can't convince Dimitri to stand up and fight and choose to live. Only Dedue can do that.)

Beach Bastard.

Just a quick colored sketch thingie for practice because I barely draw lizards and Marine Iguanas are a whole different can of beans to draw because of how funni their faces are. This will have to do for now.

(Also why did they make him so wrinkly in canon have you SEEN Marine Iguanas??? They're fucking JACKED)

Happy "timeskip" to my favorite video game of all time <333 this is the only game I have played where I loved every playable character and I don't regret a second of it.

I'm gonna say something weird but the cast has brought me comfort to times I just feel troubled, you know? I've been living with a "What would [FE:TH character] do?" when I don't have the answer myself (and its mostly these four lol).

It feels so strange that I actually am living the timeskip now. I played this when I was around senior highschool or so and this year I'm in early twenties as a college student. I wish I can fully express how much I'm attached to this game. It will forever have a special place in my heart. So thank you to everyone who worked on this— the writers, artists, voice actors, music composers, devs, coders— EVERYONE. Thank you for making such an amazing game.

Drawing Headcanons request???

Hey, remember the nikto domestic Headcanons thing I did? Sooo I really want to draw more of it and I though it would be a fun idea if I drew request sent by you guys.

I've never done this kind of request before so I don't know how this is gonna work. But hey, let's give it a try.

Also! Just for now, I'll only accept request for the spetsnaz boys.

(Nikto, Rodion, Maxim, Dimitri).

The request thing is simple, just ask a Headcanon, an idea, an anything character x reader thing like you'll normally requests for written stuff and I'll will draw it! ✨✨✨

There's some rules though:

-As I said before, just the spetsnaz boys.

-Just for now, I'll draw fem! or gn! Y/n Only.

-I will not draw explicit NSFW. Although I'm fine with drawing some insinuations... (if you catch my driff).

I think that's pretty much all.

Not gonna lie I think it will take me hell of a time in complete jut one (like three at four days, depending of my mood or work schedule ;_;). But I really want to do this! So yeah, feel free to send a request ^^

"C'est bien ainsi qu'il vous eût apparu, dans cette soirée du 5 octobre 1628, [...] cherchant à deviner, et fermant sa bouche, éteignant ses yeux de peur qu'on ne le devine, c'est ainsi qu'il vous eût apparu, l'homme sur qui reposaient les destinées de la France, le ministre impénétrable que notre grand historien Michelet appelle le Sphinx Rouge."

"It is exactly how you would have seen him, on the evening of October 5, 1628, [...] attempting to figure it all out, and sealing his lips, banishing the light in his eyes in fear that he would be found out, it is exactly how you would have seen him, the man upon which the fate of France depended, the impenetrable minister that our great historian Michelet called the Red Sphinx."

-Alexandre Dumas, Le Comte de Moret
