Needless to say, I'm excited about a lot of things.

Damsel Does What Disney Couldn't
I don't want to write about films or shows often because I'm not big on them. I also worried I might spill too much info while talking about it. However, I felt this one was too good to be silent about.
The premise is a princess fights a dragon.
Something.... I don't think has been done before. Maybe. Not sure if it's the first but it certainly feels like the first.
I'm going off everything that was from the trailer to avoid spoiling the movie since it just recently came out. Unsurprisingly, they put quite a bit in the trailer. That's the thing to do these days. Jam all the action bits in the trailer and hope the audience stays awake for the slow bits.
However, there's quite a bit of action left over after the trailer. Such as the princess exploring the caves and running from the dragon.
That's right, THE PRINCESS RUNS AWAY FROM THE DRAGON BECAUSE THAT IS THE OBVIOUS AND LOGICAL THING TO DO. Had she just picked up a sword and go head in for a fight, this would have been another Disney "empowered" strong woman sludge.
Thankfully, it's not and the princess uses her intelligence rather than magic deus ex machina and actually struggles while planning her escape from the dragon. Yes, ESCAPE, because that is what any normal person would do. Let's not forget this is a girl who expected to be married to a prince (for political reasons) and was tricked into being a dragon's dinner.
So yeah, Elodie (the princess, I'm done writing 'the princess' so often) manages to get her wedding dress torn up and hides in a cave with a map made by the previous princesses the dragon roasted over the century. Which help Elodie find a path to her escape.
A good chunk of this film is Elodie fumbling around the caves up and down, climbing chasms and running from dragon fire. It sounds like it would be boring but the film does it in a way that makes it all intense and fun to watch.
But after she escapes, OH NO, her sister gets set up to be sacrificed! So Elodie jumps back in the dragon's lair to get her sister out. This is where she does fight the dragon but she works with her strengths, which is her intelligence and strategizing skills. Never thought I'd see a modern movie give a girl a brain instead of a mcguffic to solve her problems.
Elodie is hands down the best female character we've been given in a long time and it's high time we got her. She's not physically strong like a man. She's emotionally and mentally strong, being able to confront terrible monsters, forgive bad decisions or mistakes, and having the courage to save her sister. THIS is what people have been begging for in female characters for years!
Hopefully, this is the start of better female character and not a jump into more stories of women fighting giant monsters ignoring the entire moral behind the story.
There's a megaton of stuff I left out for the sake of spoilers not being spilled.
The point I wanted to get across was that Damsel is a really good film that I highly recommend ... if you have Netflix already. Never going to condone purchasing streaming "service" just for a single show or film. I demand variety with that kind of thing!

Playing a little game with the HOTD S2 teaser trailer called "can I identify scenes". Nothing but spoilers (major, major spoilers) under the cut:
Rhaenyra at Storm's End looking for Luke's body, as reported in leaks.
Stokeworth and Rosby shields - this is the Sack of Duskendale / Battle at Rook's Rest. From leaks (re what happens to Meleys, um) we know that BRR is this season, probably near the end of it.
Criston cutting some guy's head off - possibly the execution of Lord Staunton after the battle of Rook's Rest. Staunton's head and Meleys's head were taken to KL and paraded.
may be Nettles, but I think more likely to be Addam of Hull, as that's Seasmoke.
It's a bit blurry, but pretty sure those are Darklyn shields. (<nerd> incorrect Darklyn shields, too many white shields for this point in history, they haven't had that many Darklyns in the Kingsguard yet.</nerd>) More from the Sack of Duskendale/Battle of Rook's Rest.
Possibly executions during Daemon's Assault on Harrenhal? Although that was Aemond who killed the Strongs in F&B... that's definitely a weirwood, though... but then, most castles have weirwoods, not just Harrenhal. Could also be part of the Taking of Stone Hedge.
Something in the North, almost certainly, but not sure what. Maybe the Winter Wolves leaving?
Seasmoke's back, back again. Rumors are that Laenor just gives him up or something? Lore nerds will freak ("a dragon never has two living riders!"), but babes, this is where you have to just relax and remember the show is not the books.
Nice establishing shot of the Dragonpit. The Storming will not be this season, but it'll be useful to compare once the show gets there.
This is either Prince Jaehaerys' funeral or the parade after Rook's Rest, but I think that's the carriage that was carrying Alicent and Helaena in mourning clothes (as seen in leaks), so possibly the former. OTOH leaks had a drum being beaten while Meleys's head was paraded, so it might be the latter. We'll see I guess!
Probably at Rook's Rest, trying to get the fuck away from Meleys's fire.
speaking of which. Rosby shields on the ground, that early scene where they were standing is probably right before Rhaenys and Meleys arrived.
yay Baela gets to do something. Wonder if she arrives at BRR too late to help, but in time to see Rhaenys's body? Would be a good setup for her and Aegon later.
KG doing the Secret Service thing with Alicent. Some kind of public panic, this may be in relation to the Meleys parade because the book says it made everyone want to leave KL, so they may have changed that up a bit.
Brackens, probably the Battle of the Burning Mill / Taking of Stone Hedge.
Assault on Harrenhal, probably.
well we all know what this is. š
ah shit, Erryk fighting in someone's bedroom? Cargyll twin vs twin, probably, I knew it was early in the war, but I liked him. š
Not screencapping this bit, but the cut that makes it look like Aemond is fighting Rhaenyra on their dragons is oh-so-clever to play with audience expectations.
Rook's Rest, the ground is all smoky because of Meleys, and shit here comes Vhagar to make it worse.
A few scenes I have no idea what's happening yet, like the Helaena underwater scene and Alicent in her nightgown at the Gods Eye... are we getting dream scenes at last? Would be a nice changeup. Could be POV prophecies also. Well, looking forward to it!
edit to correct: Helaena's not underwater, that's a veil, undoubtedly a mourning veil. š

Arcie please give your honest opinion. do you think aemond will now be mean as hell to alicent because he murdered luke hurray he can feel better about himself. Why he was weirdly looking at her like this?
Hello my darling anon š
Here is my speculation on that scene from Green trailer that dropped yesterday. This is based on my Fire & Blood knowledge as well as my blatant favoritism of my darling baby girl war criminal.
Read more for spoilers.
HBO's interpretation of the aftermath of what I will tastefully (pun intended) refer to as The Incident, shows Aemond's reaction to Lucerys becoming a snack for Vhagar as him looking shocked. Possibly remorseful?
In the least, it is a definitive oh shit moment.
Anyway, in the book Fire & Blood, after The Incident, Aemond then returns to King's Landing to share what happened at Storm's End. The book details the reactions of his mother and grandsire:
Queen Alicent went pale when she heard what he had done, crying, āMother have mercy on us all.ā Nor was Ser Otto pleased. āYou only lost one eye,ā he is reported to have said. āHow could you be so blind?ā
If HBO commits to this decided scene (as we later got a snippet of his other possible reactions*) that shows his remorse, it may have carried with him in the small council chambers and is only lifted by his brother.
My theory (and mind you, this is me being hopeful, reading far too much into this, plus my tagline is literally Aemond Apologistā¢, etc.) could be that smug reaction is in response to when Aegon finally speaks up to defend, as he does in the book:
The king himself did not share their concerns, however. Aegon II welcomed Prince Aemond home with a great feast, hailed him as āthe true blood of the dragon,ā and announced that he had made āa good beginning.ā
So that moment we see between Aemond and Alicent in the trailer could be the guilt/grief/whatever he was feeling prior just being lifted with how Aegon responds to Aemond's news of The Incident.
āGood. To war then!ā
Guess we'll see on June 16th. š„°
*Shoutout to @zaldritzosrose for helping me try and find that alternative scene HBO shot. We both knew it existed somewhere.

Headcanons for (if youāre ok with it.) Twst staff if the reader showed them the movie Damsel (2024) on Netflix. Itās a good movie.
The trailer makes it look woke but the main girl is NOT the girl power,strong,bitchy woman,who can beat the enemy from the start kind of main character that we see in so many movies now a days.
Sheās not, itās a survival movie and she LEARNS how to survive in the place she is literally thrown.
I hope I this is what you were thinking! The movie was great. Thank you for the request <3
cw: Damsel spoilers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Trein:
not a big movie watcher so it took some convincing
heās the type to mumble comments throughout a movie
āThereās no surviving that fall. She would be deadā ā¦ Hush and watch the movie
He holds Lucius a little closer during the scene with the burning birds
He understood the dragonās pain because of his own daughters
āHow could that small bit of blood fool the dragon like that? It is preposterousā
āShe should have died four times by nowā ā¦ Suspension of disbelief Mozus jeez
He somehow almost fell asleep during the action
āThe girl knows her worthā¦ goodā He commented as she didnāt spare the prince.
His final verdict: āit was not brain dead. I did enjoy it. Thank youā
Crewel:
He prefers to watch media alone, but he agreed none the less
He is silent while watching it
he does visibly tense whenever her dress is ripped
Though he is quiet, heās making a long list in his head
As soon as the credits begin to roll, all his thoughts come pouring out
āSuch a beautiful dress, RUINED!!ā
He loves the costumes
He dives deep into how Elodieās character development was shown in her color palettes
Later you would definitely find him designing clothes off screencaptures of Elodieās wedding dress
Prepare to hear grumbling comments about the ruined dress for the next couple days
His final verdict: He loved the costumesā¦ thatās all you can get him to talk about
Crowley:
So he can get movies from your world but not send you home?
He cries a lot for some reason
You canāt tell if itās genuine or heās trying to appease you by acting interested in the movie
The only time you are sure his crying is real is when the dragon babies were killed. (Heās not beating the Malleusā father allegations)
He pulled his āoh how gracious!ā card when she spares the dragon
Mans full on laughs when the kingdom gets torched
His final verdict: All he does is smile.. no words.. just smile
Sam:
Of course! Heās excited
Heās a pretty quiet movie watcher
The most he talks is about the glowworms
He finds them fascinating and imagines how many ways that they could be used
The blood ritual also peaks his interest
He appreciates how resourceful and creative Elodie is
His final verdict: He liked it. āIād watch it with you again if youād like~ā
Vargas:
Again, not a big movie watcher but eventually you get him to sit still
I donāt know whatās going on in his brain, but heās rooting for the dragon
Heās cheering like itās a sports game
āWOOO! YEAHH! GET HER!! YEAH! WOO!ā
Itās a big dichotomy at how pumped and loud he is during the chase scenes in comparison to how silent he is during.. anything else
His final verdict: āThe dragon should have wonā but.. she kinda did- āthe dragon should have won.ā

HOTD Season 2 Episode 4 Live Watch Thoughts
I would love if they redid the opening credits of Game of Thrones in this tapestry style of HotD. Love it so much.
Wish Laena and Rhea would haunt Daemon too. They deserve to haunt him.
Oooo Milly should have been wearing dresses like this instead of that awful yellow dress.
Young Alicent should have haunted Viserys.
OH MY GOSH!!!!! He just beheaded her!!!!! I AM IN SHOCK
BLOOD ON HIS HANDS!
āSad news about the usurperās sonā HE WAS MURDERED
Black goat was ominous.
Oscar! Baby!
King consort? Donāt think thatās the right title.
Aw! Little Oscar looks a little like Rickonās actor.
Daemon asking a child to kinslay his grandfather. Good lord.
Why is House Tully heads always sickly during a time of war.
DOGS! I think those are Scottish dogs.
Oooooo Alyn and Rhaenys are going to talk!
OH SHE KNOWS?!?!?? She knows now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!
āYour mother must have been very beautiful.ā š«„
WASNāT RELEVANT!!!!!!??????
Let women be more angry!!!!!!!!
No! I wanted Alicent to break it purposefully!
Oh? So Alicent is going to have moontea?
Grand maester is hot, not gonna lie.
Man this is probably the first time Alicent has had autonomy over her womb for the entirety of the show.
Note how the women of color are the only ones who are allowed to want violence for more than a single scene.
Why could you not have at least focused on Jaceās hand on Baelaās that would have been nice.
Why isnāt Jace placed more in charge? He is the crown prince?
How fast are these ships or did Corlys ride with Rhaenys?
Rhaenyraās council is honestly doing pretty much the exact thing Viserysā did.
Asking for people to bend the knee without a dragon really does feel less threatening.
And ooooooo Criston being called Kingmaker.
And Criston listening to the manās last words while taking the head himself. Very Northern of him.
āThat castle is more crippled than I amā is kind of funny tbh.
I hate that the Greens canāt be united. Why canāt they be united after the death of Jaehaerys.
Ooooo does Aegon not speak Valyrian?
Also, not Aemond saying something similar to Daemon in the first episode of season 1
So he can speak a little? Just not well?
STAY AWAY FROM HER LARYS!
OH HE NOTICED! STAY AWAY FROM HER!
I am going to reach through the screen and strangle Larys myself.
No you may not be bold, Larys!
Oh, interesting, sheās saying this to Larys. The trailers made it seem she was talking to Otto.
Is Rhaenyra suited? Literally neither of his children showed any suitability for the throne.
āThe significance of Viserysā intentions died with him.ā YES IT DID
Man, Daemon is not having a good time right now.
Oh? Aemond?
Oh? Daemon as Aemond? The heck?
Oh, so it wasnāt an American accent?
āDo you now try to make your own claim?ā Yes he is.
āA girl child you bounced on your knee.ā š«„
Oh? Is Alys going for him because he looks like Aemond and isnāt sure who she is supposed to be projecting into?
Daemon really is not having a good time. Good lord. This man is getting drugged.
OH THIS IS THE GUY THAT MURDERED SOMEONE ON THE TOUR!
LAENA!!!!!!!
Laena serving as a cupbearer!!!!! I AM SCREAMING!!!
What were the dragons doing before to be fed?
Why isnāt Aemond on the council?
Why isnāt Alicent and Helaena on the council? Didnāt the book say Aegon listened to them?
Is this the same day?
Also, again, this is how Viserys was treated. He didnāt really do much either.
VISERYS WAS HARDLY A KING
RAT CATCHERS THAT KILLED YOUR GRANDSON!
I like that Aegon still called Alicent his mother. I noticed that Jace seemed to stop calling Rhaenyra that.
Why have I seen Gwayneās actor? Was he in Witcher? He looks so familiar. Iāll have to look it up later.
And now Rhaenyra is back. That took forever.
And yep, Jace is no longer calling her āmotherā
Jace is really channeling his inner Daemon.
Was it necessary?
Alicent isnāt queen anymore? Sheās the queen mother? Helaena is the queen?
Your caution isnāt weakness, you have literally just not been doing anything.
JACE LACKS THE EXPERIENCE????? SO DO YOU RHAENYRA!
Emma channeling their inner Elsa with that braid though.
Ooooo itās rather symbolic of Aegon pushing aside his wine thing. Honestly Rhaenyra and Aegon should have been better parallels.
Oh? So Rhaenyra is going to tell Jace the stupid prophecy.
SUNFYRE! Aw, Sundyre loves his rider! Thatās so cute!
Jace learning the prophecy (which is about an enemy to the NORTH) would have been great to know before he went there.
The prophecy really is stupid.
Like, itās stupid. Itās pointless. Itās lazy storytelling at its finest. And we know that it went nowhere because in the show Arya, without a drop of Targ blood, is what destroys the enemy to the North.
Did Meleysā design change?
Old lady Vhagar about to wake! She is so done with people waking her from her nap.
And I hate that that Aegon going to fight wasnāt planned. Rather him acting on his own decision.
Dang Sunfyre is a sure shot with fire.
I hate that this is the one and only time we will get a Sunfyre. I know that Sunfyre was Martinās favorite.
And ah, Aemond is doing this so that he gets glory and proves himself more worthy than Aegon. *sigh*
Also, props to Aegon for holding on.
Ugh. So theyāre having Aemond be the reason his brother is scarred. *sigh*
This is the battle that was being hyped up? This is the battle? Didnāt people say it was going to be like Battle of the Bastards level? Becauseā¦. Yeah no. No itās not. This is our second ābattleā with dragons fighting and itās not great.
The Field of Fire was also better.
They were hyping up this battle far too much.
I feel sad that Rhaenys died, do not get me wrong, but the whole battle just didnāt feel climactic. I didnāt feel like I was on the edge of my seat in the way I was for GoT battles.
That was a cool shot though, of Criston tapping the soldier on the shoulder and him crumbling.
How they are treating the Greens is what they did with āDarkā Sansa and the stupid Starkbowl, pointless. Utterly pointless.
That was another disappointing episode.
Promo Thoughts
I donāt even know.
I donāt understand what they are doing. And I feel like a lot of people will be leaving after this season. Half of it is over and I feel like weāve covered very little time at all despite covering so much time last season. It all feels disjointed.

Book 6 Prediction Worry-Rant
...Oh boy. If someone told me the teaser would've caused me THIS MUCH anxiety, I would've just waited until the full trailer (or even worse, the full-on premiere)! I've been freaking out so hard since Thursday's reveal and only now have I gotten myself relatively under control. It also gave me some time to look at others' speculations and theories, so that always makes me feel better too. But now, I've got some questions about what will happen with this next book, and what it will really mean to be "emotionally wrecked".
Slight disclaimer: I heavily reference the info from the post made here by xadian-daydreams. I'm basing my ideas off of this, but all credit on retrieving this info goes solely to him (assuming him, sorry if I got it wrong!). I'll also have some references about Dark Magic from the Dragon Prince Wiki.
First off, I need to understand more about the real toll of Dark Magic. What we already knew was that using Dark Magic requires some form of sacrifice of a magical being, it leaves some form of corruption on the user (with physical changes depending on the severity), and that corruption can be used by Aaravos as a means of linking them together. The first use is a sort of 'jolt' to the body and results in nightmarish fever dreams but is remediable. Apparently, it amplifies the values/feelings of the user when casting it (according to latest Q&A). It has been constantly been referred to as a shortcut, or 'too easy to use', but isn't technically addicting; if you want to stop, there's no strong resistance to make you keep doing it. However, each time you use Dark Magic, it's harder to come back from it. Personally, I imagine this to your teacher's cheat-sheet for a test: at first you only use it to answer a really hard question, but then you keep using it because it's so much easier than relying on your own knowledge.
I need someone to explain to me: what exactly is the "corruption" of Dark Magic? Does it darken the soul to make it more evil, make you prone to the emotions you felt at the time of casting, or a very subtle way of "changing you from the inside out" without you realizing it?
The reason I'd like to know this first is because now we're looking at our 3 main protagonists: Callum, Rayla, and Ezran. First up is Callum, my personal favorite (yeah, that's right, I'm not ashamed to admit my bias). Going into the next book, the main questions that came up for me were:
How will Callum handle Dark Magic from now on, especially now that Aaravos is closer to him (magically and literally)?
Will it be easier for him to give into Dark Magic's temptation now that he's given into it a second time now?
How does Dark Magic affect the trust/friendship he's created over time?
Up until Book 5, I always assumed that Callum would never use Dark Magic again once he got Primal Magic; his one-time use was out of sheer desperation. Now that he's done it again (and after learning a bit more about his true character and motives), my main concern is that continued usage will continue to change him more and more until he's a very different person, someone Rayla no longer recognizes, let alone loves.
Moving onto Rayla, there was no real "progress" in the latest Q&A concerning her and the coins (writers refused to answer the REALLY juicy stuff), but there's still some things I still want to know:
If she's given a choice between her new and old family, who would she choose?
She has always been the one to be willing to sacrifice everything of herself for the good of others; how far will she go, or is there a line she will no longer cross?
How does she view sacrifice in relation to others, i.e. Callum? Is killing him when possessed his sacrifice or hers? Would she be willing to kill those she loves (not exclusive to Callum on this last part)?
Who does she ultimately choose above the other: Callum and Ezran or the world?
I realize that most of these questions center around Rayllum, but this is just what concerns me the most right now. I definitely want her to grow as an individual too, but this relationship between the two is something very special to me, mostly because of how much stronger they are when they're together! I really miss their chemistry!!
...Ahem, finally, we have Ezran. While he is still a great part of the main team, he is also now king. But we haven't really seen him act as one in the show as of yet; he's only really been ruling on-screen for about 2 episodes, gave into the bargain with Viren to try and prevent mass bloodshed, have a brief meeting with his council after the timeskip, and have some strong speeches concerning Xadia and addressing the dragons/archdragons. ...Okay, so that seems like a lot, but keep in mind, that 1) while there are powerful moments, they are still brief, and 2) all of this takes place over the course of 3 seasons so far, when he has begun his rule. I would personally like to see him act/struggle more as a king, mostly because I still see some naivety in his approach. He still acts a bit childish in his views, kind of like: "this is the right choice, so we'll do it" from a logical side. This view oversimplifies the world, and while he does address this in his powerful speech in Book 4, we haven't seen him really struggle with this notion. Your words aren't as strong if you haven't been hurt as bad, and I know that Ezran has a lot of hurt that he's been hiding. I want to see how he handles it. (No questions regarding Ezran, just speculation this time.)
The final cherry on top: can someone please tell me what "emotionally wrecked" could possibly mean for this upcoming book?!! Every time the writers bring it up, I get nothing but depression with a side of gloom and misery sprinkled on top! The only saving grace we do have from all this... negativity... is that it's coming in the second-to-last book, not the last. This also likely means that whatever horrible tragedies we'll face this book have the chance to be resolved/redeemed in the next one. Additionally, any character arcs/growth we go through will likely either continue over to the final book or will be resolved in time for another one. That being said, PLEASE TELL ME, WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH BY DOING THIS TO US?!! THIS SUSPENCE IS EATING ME FROM THE INSIDE OUT, AND I'VE HAVEN'T EVEN DONE DARK MAGIC YET!!!
...Whew, got that all out of my system. Please reply if you've got any answers or comments, especially with the last part (better to rip the band-aid off now). I love a good dialogue! Just please keep it friendly and civilized. Thanks for listening to my rant, and here's hoping for Dragon Prince's continued success!!!

Saturday Home Cinema: Damsel (2024)
I havenāt done one of these, but I saw Damsel today on Saturday night (well, itās already Sunday when I'm writing this š) and the movie surprised me tremendously!
When I watched the trailer before the movie, it already told me that certain scenarios if not most would be predictable, but I loved the end!
But before we get to itā¦ it is OFFICIAL! Movie directors have run out of ideas and donāt know what to make a movie about anymore as all their imagination is gone, completely and utterly GONE!! Iām watching trailers of upcoming films and series and just found out that theyāre making a series of Fallout and a movie of Borderlandsā¦ š¤¦āāļø
Play the video games. They are much much better and offer hours of countless entertainment and have so many funny scenes, but I guess the money is sitting heavily in their pockets and they need to waste it. Ever thought of donating it to charity? No? Ok.
Back to Damsel. Spoilers alert below the cut!!
As mentioned before, most of it was predictable from the start. A northern kingdom struggling, with barely any food for the people, no gold in the treasury, and so on. This stuck-up lady, dressed like a cult member from a prosperous and flourishing faraway kingdom comes to them with an arrangement ā all the gold they need in exchange for the eldest daughter of the northern king.
The daughter, Elodie, marries the prince of the rich kingdom, Henry (I believe his name was), and they celebrate a very pompous wedding and even make a blood pact to āhonourā the ancestors of the prince; this is where they throw her into a deep pit which leads to the dragonās lair. Here I have to say, girl, whenever thereās a blood exchange itās never for something good, but plot gotta plot.
Basically, the former king of the luxurious kingdom slaughtered the three children of the dragon for no apparent reason, apart from your typical menās greed. They were the last of her kin, and as the tale goes; a debt of blood can only be paid back in blood. So, the dragon demands three daughters of the king as revenge, but jokes on her because they deceive her by marrying off the male offspring to foreign women, who were not always royalty but held a high status in their country, but by combining their blog with the princeās they become part of the family.
Well, up until here the movie was scene by scene foreseeable, but the best part is when the dragon is told the truth and saved by Elodie (with the help of some luminescent, but kind of cute worms with healing properties), and then, they get their oh so sweet revenge on those pretentious asses. š
In the end, Elodie and her family go back home with a new friend in tow!! I rooted at the end so darn hard because finally!!! Finally, the dragon is not the bad guy and doesnāt die either, instead she flies into the sunrise!!! š„°

I was tagged by @bisexualshitwholovesshakespeare and haven't done one of these in forever so.... here goes!
Questions:
Favourite colour: Purple or green
Last song: "Is It Over Now (Taylor's Version)". My school runs an open house for prospective students and my department's booth was next to PhysEd, who were blasting tunes all night. That was the last song they played before wrapping up their clean up at the end of the night.
Last movie: Oh, gosh... I genuinely don't remember. Is that sad? I want to say Elemental? Highly recommend it! Definitely did not get a fair shake when it was initially released. Anyone who called it a Zootopia knock off clearly did not watch it because they are NOTHING alike.
Currently watching: The Fall of the House of Usher because Netflix has temporarily forgotten that my TV is not in my parents' household.
Other stuff watched this year: All the Light We Cannot See, Loki Season 2, Ahsoka, Good Omens Season 2, Our Flag Means Death Season 2, Nimona, Dungeons and Dragons: Honour Among Theives
Show I dropped this year: Star Trek Discovery and Shadow and Bone
Currently reading: Slowly re-reading The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan, but I just finished Spare by Prince Harry
Currently listening to: The Taylor Swift bonus episode of Material Girls by Witch Please! Productions. The whole podcast scratches a very specific academia/nerd itch and I love it.
Currently working on: Finalizing the rest of my semester plans and so much marking.
Current obsession: Percy Jackson partially due to the newest trailer for the upcoming series, partially due to the podcast The Newest Olympian.
Tagging @carswinky and @elvimoon, but no pressure if you don't want to do it. :)

Wall oā Text : The Nintendo Direct
Figured I may as well type up my thoughts on everything from the Direct.Ā I have it going in the background to remember everything that was shown.Ā So yeah, if you care about trailer spoilers, nowās your chance to bail, yo.
So letās get to it, and hopefully not get interrupted by another powerout.
1) Pokemon ScVi DLC - Iām looking forward to these.Ā ScVi can be a buggy mess, but I still overall enjoyed the games.Ā Since Iām not super competitive, I donāt look at a bunch of new legendaries as āOH GOD WHAT WILL THIS DO TO THE META QUICK BAN EVERYTHING,ā I just see them as āOh, cool, new things to collect and train, yay!ā I do however hope there are still some things they might be hiding.Ā Iād like to see some new Paradox forms show up.
2) Sonic Superstars - Honestly looks pretty good.Ā I do wonder if we might get more characters as DLC.Ā Iād especially love to see what a Classic style Cream would look like.
3) Palia - ...... (checks ācozy farm sim off the bingo sheetā)Ā Nothing really stood out to me here, other than the phrase āfree to play,ā meaning microtransaction heck.Ā No thanks.
4) Persona 5 Tactica - Tactics games usually arenāt a go to for me, though this looks maybe more like the kind of tactics used in things like Mario + Rabbids, which I enjoyed, so I might be interested in this one?Ā Not super high priority, but on the radar.
5) Mythforce - This honestly might be on the āIāll want to see moreā list.Ā The artstyle is actually pretty dang nice, it definitely captures that He-Man style saturday morning cartoon look.
6) New Splatfest - Well, I canāt play online, donāt even HAVE Splatoon 3, but as far as choice, Iām torn between Strawberry or Mint Chip, love both of those.Ā But hey, Vanilla is good too.Ā Honestly hard to pick on this one.
7) Detective Pikachu Returns - Okay, was NOT expecting that.Ā I enjoyed the original, so definitely happy for it.
8) Super Mario RPG Remaster - Oh gods it looks beautiful.Ā Itās one of the rare RPGs that I really did enjoy, so Iāll likely be interested in this one.
9) Untitled Peach Game - Intrigued, but we know like, nothing.
10) Luigiās Mansion Dark Moon Port - I have the 3DS game, but never actually played it, so this might spur me to do so.
11) Batman : Arkham Trilogy - I might actually want this.Ā I loved Assylum and City, never got to play Knight, but I quite enjoyed the ones I did play.Ā A case of āwouldnāt mind an excuse to play them again.ā
12) Gloomhaven - No real strong thoughts on this one admittedly.
13) Just Dance 2024 Edition - (checks the year)Ā Hey, you canāt do that!Ā Anyway, no real strong feeling here either,
14) Silent Hope - Iām not sure anything really drew me in on this one.Ā The concept of no one being able to talk, I at first wondered what that would do for storytelling, like, how theyād work with that concept.Ā I figured it could be interesting, but also would run the risk of if everythingās just pantomimed, it could get tiring.Ā But then we just get an NPC that talks for everyone anyway, so... (shrug).
15) Fae Farm - Oy, I already got the ācozy farming simā checkmark.Ā No strong feelings here.
16) Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 Turbocharged - I never played that previous Hot Wheels game that came up, but it looked like it could be interesting.Ā Was the original any good?
17) Manic Mechanics - Basically Undercooked but with car fixing?Ā Iāve played Undercooked solo which, uh....Ā Oof.Ā Itās a lot to keep track of, haha.Ā Definitely something that would be more fun with other players.
18) Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope DLC - I still need to finish the first game, but it is enjoyable.Ā So happy for this, and already have the pass so got it downloaded.
19) Dragon Quest Monsters : The Dark Prince - Heck yeah new DQM, I did enjoy those games, so might want this.
20) Pikmin 4 - (hype intensifies)Ā Super looking forward to this.Ā Iām happy to see Pikmin 2 style dungeons return, I enjoyed those.Ā Wonder if we have a time limit this time or not, I can enjoy with or without, but I do wonder if this might be more PIkmin 2 style ātake your time,ā which I can appreciate.
21) Pikmin 1 + 2 - Heck yeah, all four Pikmin games on one system?Ā Well, no Hey Pikmin, but the mainline ones, which heck yeah.Ā Iāll probably wait for the physical version though.
22) Metal Gear Solid : Master Collection Vol. 1 - Iāve never been too into the Metal Gear series, buuuuuut I might be thinking of getting it as a holiday gift for my uncle.
23) Vampire Survivors - Already got it on Steam.Ā And still havenāt figured out how to survive a full minute past Deathās appearance which is like, a requirement on every stage.
24) Headbangers Rhythm Royale - My only real thought here is Team 17 made a pigeon game, so they will explode violently and not where you told them to.
25) Pennyās Big Breakaway - This looks super fun, I hope it turns out good.
26) Mario Kart 8 DLC - Iām kind of surprised Kamek got in as the Tour rep over Pauline.
27) Star Ocean The Second Story R - I have no real nostalgia for this one, never played the original, donāt know much about the series.
28) WarioWare : Move It! - My only concern is how responsive will the motion controls be.Ā I usually find motion controls frustrating.
29) Nintendo Live - No way Iād be able to attend, so no real thoughts.
30) Tears of the Kingdom amiibos - These look cool, definitely want them.
31) Super Mario Bros. Wonder - Honestly, yes please.Ā This looks super fun.
So yeah, all in all, very strong Direct.

Well, a new Fire Emblem: Engage trailer dropped.Ā
Hmmm... thoughts below the cut.
Oh look, a dead parent. Again.Ā
And she looks a LOT like another mother we know.... Hmm....
:/
-------------------------------------
I betcha this dragon is Mom. Itās not the new MC- we see this dragon push the MC to the side as if to push him out of the way of danger. Iām guessing the purple lightening is the Fell Dragonās attack- purple is Fell Dragon color.Ā
-----
āWhen your memories return to you...ā
So our MC has lost his memories.Ā
Again.Ā
Thankfully this trope isnāt totally OVER done in this series for our MCs. However.... this character seems too much like Robin. More on that in a bit.
-------------------------------------
Honestly, Marth looks pretty good here. I like his model a lot, and I like is VC.Ā
It seems like he has a history with our MC. This Marth is specifically called Emblem Marth (Ok?) and he knows something more about the MC than he is letting on.Ā
Some interesting tidbits about the Emblem charactersĀ
Based on Marthās words aboutĀ āremembering himā, the MC had to remember who Marth was in order for Marth to even answer is call.
Emblem can fight side-by-side with their ring-bearers.Ā
Apparently, they can float
And based off other trailers, the ring-bearer and the Emblem can merge together.
See? Float!
-------------------------------------
Good Dragon (Divine) versus Bad Dragon (Fell)
Wow, completely new territory! /s
Here is the Fell Dragon. Yes, it is actually called that. Which is a complete copy of Grima.Ā
Purple evil dragon called a Fell Dragon? Like, come on....
Whatās weird though is that the color schemes they choose to go with the Fell side and the Divine side.
Ok, so, the Fell Dragon and his followers are in darker colors, like black or purples, while the Divine Dragon and her followers are in lighter colors, like blue and whites.Ā
So why is Red also being used to signify the Fell side?!Ā
The red hair is supposed to be theĀ āevilā side, while the blue is supposed to be theĀ āgoodā side. Absolutely no logic behind the color schemes here. Because we see Red also on theĀ āgoodā side too.
-------------------------------------
:/
Bro. For real?
(Maybe the Engage one is the Fell Dragonās human form or something, there is a Third eye and super pointy ears)
-------------------------------------
Is this our newĀ āYoung Girl is actually a ancient dragonā character?Ā
She shoots a fireball at some evil solider that looks a lot like a Risen.Ā
She is apparentlyĀ āpassing throughā looking for someone. Who? Probably the MC but doesnāt know it yet. *shrug*
-------------------------------------
Ok, so the set pieces... are not as bad as I feared.Ā
They arenāt good, but they are certainly better than Houses. Itās still got a cheap, low quality feel to them, but they occasionally can look pretty decent. At least they can some scale to them.Ā
-------------------------------------
Fearine (Guessing the spelling here) is one of the Nations Named. If we are to believe the voice over, it is implied that these guys are from Fearine:
These two look like brother and sister, and are probably royalty. Only a guess, though.Ā
This also appears to be Fearine. A lush, farming country with plenty of green pastures.Ā
Based on the rest of the trailer and small clues, it seems Fearine is ourĀ āmainā nation, the ones we either are from, were found in, or currently live in. Iām guessing the boy and girl will be our first allies and our main allies, sort of like Chrom and Lissa from Awakening. (Also, apparently the MC was sleeping when found, just like Robin! More on that later).
-------------------------------------
Brodia (Guessing the spelling here) is one of the Nations Named. If we are to believe the voice over, it is implied that these guys are from Brodia:
And this is outright stated to be their crown prince:
Brodia is said to be the Kingdom of Might, and it took some doing for Fearine to form an alliance with them. Their King is said to be ambitious man.
Based on what we can see, Brodia seems to be a more military-minded country, with rocky terrain more than lush fields.
Iām also guessing this guy is the King of Brodia based on his armor and hair color, looking a lot like the Crown Prince:
Kingdom of Might? Ambitious King? Took a lot to make an alliance with them? Main color Red?Ā
Possibly a traitorous nation then?
-------------------------------------
Solm (Guessing the spelling here) is one of the Nations Named. If we are to believe the voice over, it is implied that these guys are from Solm:
Probably Solmās prince and princess.Ā
Solm seems to be a desert nation, but apparently has quite the abundance of food. They are anĀ āopen-minded countryā and have always had good relations with Fearine. Solm appears to be the POC country and is... very tropical.Ā
The boy seems a LOT like a Claude copy, tbh. Charming, from a country that isnāt just European fantasy, darker skin.... Well, this series does copies a lot, so thatās not a surprise.Ā
-------------------------------------
Eluzia (Guessing the spelling here) is one of the Nations Named. If we are to believe the voice over, it is implied that these guys are from Eluzia:
Also, I just have to say it, but here is another genericĀ āsexy dark evil ladyā
Iām also guessing that these guys are also from Eluzia:
It is snow there with long winters, and apparently is not a part of the Alliance. This implies that Fearine, Brodia, and Solm have some sort of Alliance with each other, but the specifics arenāt clear.Ā
The Eluzians are said to also worship (some of them, not all) the Fell Dragon. Which... makes sense. Look at the guy! Heās dressed in black and purple. So this is ourĀ ācultā country.Ā
The voiceover said theyĀ āworship the Fell dragonā while showing this screenshot. We can see that weird girl in blue and blue and the white-haired man who is probably King of Eluzia (and possibly making the girl his daughter) standing in front of this alter.
Which is weird, the dragon in the center looks like the dragon who protected the MC (the Divine Dragon) rather than the Fell Dragon. Interesting.Ā
-------------------------------------
So here we have the King(?) of Eluzia with that Valider-like man from before. Iām guessing that this man is the Fell Dragon still. They are standing in some dark cathedral. The King is bowing to the Dragon here.Ā
Much purple.Ā
Also, interesting to note, but the voiceover states here thatĀ āhe is not yet at full strengthā. They either mean the MC, or the Fell Dragon. Or maybe someone else, but these are my two guesses.
More evidence that the guy is the Fell Dragon. Look at those Talons!
-------------------------------------
So theĀ ābadā nation also has a ring of their own with some unknown Emblem character in it. And it looks like the King of Eluzia possesses it.Ā
Some cult woman. Doing purple evil magic stuff.Ā
-------------------------------------
āBy virtue of your science, we will kill every living soul in this castleā.Ā
Her eye is interesting. She has blue and red in it. AND pointy ears. Perhaps she too is a dragon of some sort? Perhaps related to the Divine Dragon and the Fell Dragon, just as our MC is?
-------------------------------------
So the Crown Prince of Brodia apparently has Royās Ring.Ā
Princess of Solm gets Ikeās Ring.
Prince of Fearine gets Luncinaās Ring.Ā
We arenāt shown who is using her here but.... well, here she is.Ā
-------------------------------------
Iām guessing this is when the Fell Dragon turns into his dragon form from the scene from earlier in front of the King of Eluzia. Either catching him off guard, or to punish him. Guy looks terrified.Ā
-------------------------------------
So this is another angle from the scene with the King of Brodia from before, where we see a purple-glowing hand catching his blade. It looks like the King of Eluzia caught the blade, and is using his ring he pulled out from another scene to summon Lyn.Ā
Which means that rings can be used for evil, and they glow purple when under evil influence.Ā
Iām guessing the scene here goes like this:
-------------------------------------
Speaking of evil rings, it looks like the Princess of Eluzia eventually gets Lucina. We can see it also turned Lucinaās hair red.Ā
It also happens to Marth. It seems to be a painful process, since Marth is screaming. We can also see the Fell Dragon behind there.Ā
-------------------------------------
A memory scene perhaps? We see flames occasionally here, which goes well with this:
Which is our MC, surrounded by flames and with entirely red hair. Likely, he fell to darkness in the past and did something truly awful. Iām guessing when he banishes the evil, his hair will become fully blue.Ā
This location also looks a lot like this location from before:
Same pillars, and is also damaged. So likely, from when he burned the place.Ā
This place could be Fearine.Ā
-------------------------------------
One last big thing is... the characters they show. They show quite a few new NPCs, and man....
Non-Fredrick guarding Not-Lissa.Ā
A Pegasus Knight with a skirt... again. Please give these girls proper leg protection.Ā
These designs arenāt terrible but they sure are boring. But I can at least tell, based on color scheme, that they are likely from Fearina. But I canāt say the same for everyone.
Terrible design. Awful. Dumb as shit, and I cannot tell you where she is from. Maybe sheās from Eluzia based on the color scheme and the dumb tatoo on her face? Maybe not.
Compared to pastĀ āwomen in armorā designs itās not terrible. But again, I cannot tell you exactly where she is from. Mayyyybe Fearina, with that green and gold and silver?Ā
No fucking clue where they are from. They are clearly in Solm but donāt look like they are from Solm. The blonde guy has a terrible design. The red-haired guy is a bit better but still not great.Ā
Here is the Princess of Eluzia. WTF? Her design is atrocious. Who signed off on this?
Urg. I hate it.Ā
I have mixed feelings about this one. Love the colors, but the big balls are just so tacky.Ā
Iām so torn on this game....

New Engage Trailer
Just when I declare we probably wonāt get one this week. Oh well, Iām not complaining.
We started out with what I found to be a big shock. The silver haired woman can be seen on the special edition, and because of the lighting I always assumed she was a princess of the autumn nation (Which we now know is called Brodia). Nope. Instead she is Alears mother, who seems to die after the night bridge chapter, giving Alear their macguffin hunt quest. Fire Emblem gonna Fire Emblem.
This reminds me a lot of Queen Mikoto, which gets me worried. Mikoto had such a good design, and it was a huge (if obvious) disappointment when she died so early in the story. Maybe sheāll end up surviving somehow, considering her place on the box art, but I wonāt hold my breath. Also, despite seeming to have round ears, itās implied sheās the white dragon from earlier. Maybe itās another sign sheāll survive. Or it could just be that the other divine dragon girl has the same model for her dragon form.
Another thing of note is her saying when Alears memories return, he must fight with the utmost divinity. Considering later parts of the trailer, this seems like itāll be important. Speaking of which, Marth sure did hesitate a little when he said Alear was kind, huh.
Edit: Also noticed that she hands Alear Sigurd's ring specifically, so it seems Alfred was not it's original bearer.
Next, we get a look at the Brodian castle, with its prince at its starway. But what really catches my interest is the next scene. The scenery looks like the edge of the bridge map we caught glimpses of in the trailer, and we have two new face, and a familiar one. To the left is Citrinne, now in her mage outfit. This makes me think Alcryst is not the red haired swordsman like I originally assumed, but rather this blue haired archer. And weāve seen this character on the box art before. Because of his vampire-like appearance, I assumed he was from Elusia, but if the silver haired woman isnāt the second Brodian noble, then perhaps this man is. When looking at the first japanese trailer, we can see a mage with Citrinnes color scheme, and an archer with this man's color scheme on the defense map. Then we see a pink haired, red armored swords woman. Then we get a clear look at Brodiaās crown prince
In terms of first impressions, the prince seems a lot more friendly and charming than I expected. I didnāt expect him to be an asshole by any means, but what glimpses we saw in the first trailer made me think heād be more stoic and angsty. Iām confident his class will be Noble/ Back up; and use swords.Ā
Edit: Turns out this dudes name is Diamante in the spanish and chinese versions. It's a cool sounding name, so I'm curious if it'll change at in english.
The new Prince Alcryst is interesting though. His red and blue clothes make me wonder, is he also Brodian royalty, or is he an Elusian noble whoās gone rogue and joined the heroes side? Looking at his brief clip, he comes off as a weird mix of timid and angry. I suspect his class is Noble/ Spy, using bows.
Itās seems Citrinnes outfit in the first trailer was her unique casual wear, though the dress does look pretty. Then we have the pink haired girl. I donāt think sheās a sword fighter/ myrmidon because of the armor and cape. Instead, I think sheās gonna be a sword cavalier or pegasus knight. Thankfully, weāll probably get a look at her via twitter bio to learn more.
From dialogue, we also learn a couple things about Brodia. An alliance with the country took āsome doingā, it has an ambitious king, and itās titled āThe Kingdom of Mightā. Considering the design of its likely king, I think heās gonna become an antagonist at some point, because look at him. What exactly are those āambitionsā of yours, brah?
Then we get a glimpse at the desert country, now called Solm (Rough guess). Itās described as an open minded country that has good relations with Firene. We also get a glimpse of two other characters from the special edition box art; the dancer girl and the man with a rose. This also leads to some glances at the country itself. Seems to have more cliffs than I expected.
The dancer girl seems cute and perky. Judging from her outfit, her talking about fun, and how we saw her fight in the first trailer, I think itās safe to say sheās a dancer. I donāt know if her class will be called something like Dancer/ Back up, or Noble/ Dancer though. Also, sheās shown to use lances.
The rose man seems fun too, playing into the Casanova Wannabe archetype. His chest guard made me assume heād be a bow unit intiatal, but maybe heāll use daggers instead, or something else entirely. But if Alcryst is the resident Noble/ Spyā¦ Well, there's no rule saying two nobles canāt share in some way. Or maybe heās a Noble/ Qigong, since none of the other noble box art characters seem to fit the bill. In that case, maybe heās going to be our first fist lord.
Iām also curious about Solm as a whole, and if itāll really be the last of the four countries we visit, especially considering how it was introduced third.
Next, we get another look at the snowy battlefield scene, complete with a better look at the view mage we saw put on the ring. Seems a lot taller and lankier than I assumed. Iād guess heās either the king or some kind of evil vizier. The next shot really intrigues me. When they say some Elusians worship the fell dragon, we get a look at the inside of this church of some kind. We see a lot of snowflake designs in the stained glass, and none of the dragon statues seem to actually resemble the cobra headed fell dragon. We also see Alear, Marth, Alfred, the Bordian Prince, and Alcrsyst face the sorcerer and the jester girl. Definitely curious how this meeting happened. My best guess is our heroes got captured.
Next we get a look at the bridge chapter, with the jester girl and her girl squad leading the attack. Weāve actually seen the jester on the special edition box art before, making me think sheās an Elusian princess. That would make the two girls behind her likely her retainers. Theyāre all probably gonna be recruitable later down the line.
The jester girl seems like she's gonna be the cute but crazy archetype thatās pretty popular, think Harley Quinn and Toga from MHA. We can actually see a bit of her skirt in a later shot on someone riding a pegasus, which makes me curious. Obviously this makes her class Noble/ Flier, but her weapon is a mystery. That fact the pegasus is white makes me think she isnāt a dark flier, but maybe sheāll wield tomes anyways. Swords or axes also seem fitting for her.
Then we have a brunette girl in a yellow dress. Her single pauldron and her weapon make me think sheāll be a sword fighter. The girl with violet hair is a bit harder to pin down. On vibes alone she doesn't strike me as an ax fighter, maybe an ax cavalier or pegasus knight instead?
Next, we get a good look at the last remaining character of the normal box art, showing that her outfit is even sexier than we first thought. The lighting and angle also make her face less weird looking. Also, first look at wyverns in this game, which Iām rather down with. Considering her rather ominous threat, Iām curious how theyāre going to make this character join our side later. Because that's obviously going to happen. Also, judging from her tome and wyvern, itās safe to say sheās a malig knight. This cutscene also seems to take place in a fort or castle, with Brodian soldiers fighting in the background, maybe even the one shown in the defense chapter. Perhaps her class is also Noble/ Flier, or Noble/ Wyvern (Or Dragon). The wyvern also makes me think sheāll play a role similar to Minerva and Jill, the wyvern knight of an enemy kind that joins our side.
Back in the spooky church, we can see the sorcerer talking with the supposed fell dragon. Itās neet to get a better look at our likely main antagonist. Heās even got weird dragon feet. We then get a shot of the sorcerer man grabbing the Brodian general/ king's sword, with dark magic flowing out. Things are not looking good for him, but I donāt think heās gonna die here.
Edit: We also got to the learn this fell dragon guys name thanks to Spanish subtitles. And upon rewatching, we actually can here it there too, if only briefly. It's Sombrom
Ā Then we see a cloaked figure holding a tome, attacking Alear in the same room where their mom died. Curiously, we can also see a statue of a girl in a skirt and cape with a sword in the shot. Maybe it means something. After some more shots, we get a better look at the figure, who seems to be using the young girl model. Obviously some plot twist is afoot. Is it the manakete girl, Celine, or some other character not shown yet but will āDieā during the attack on Lythos.
Edit: Looking at the footage some more, I noticed something. When Alear's mom is defending them from dark magic, we see a ring of dark fire around them. So, is this the person who kills mom?
Another fun bit comes where we get a look at the four enemy generals of this game. We have a green haired dude with piercings, showing off his abs. Makes me think heāll be a berserker of some sort. Next a blond girl in gothic lolita armor. Think sheāll be a pegasus/ falco knight. I hoe sheās really fuck up. Then we have an armored man who looks like a general or a great knight. Finally, a sexy woman with pointed ears and crescent shaped horns. As such, I think sheās a manakete. Damn it intsys. You make a non-loli manakete girl in this game after all, and sheās probably evil and unrecruitable, or your mom.
Ignoring the next cuts for convenience, we see our token dragon loli shoot a fireball at a corrupted in the windmill village. Then she says sheās just passing through, looking for someone. Seeing as how sheās not the one who gave Alear his quest, Iām curious who she actually is now. Probably something we wonāt figure out until way later in the game though. As for who sheās looking forā¦ Yeah, I havenāt a clue.Ā
We also see some glimpses of other (Likely recruitable) characters. First is a red haired lass in a dark bodysuit with a matching cape. Think sheāll be a dark mage. Gives me Odin/ Ophelia vibes. Next, wellā¦ Women in plate armor may be one of my many weaknesses. Either way, she looks like another armor knight. Considering weāve seen Louis with a lance, and that Blue haired man with an ax, I think sheāll be a sword armor knight. The next two are a bit curious. Theyāre shown in Solm, but not only are they rather pasty, but their clothes are mostly white. Perhaps Lythosian refugees after the attack on the castle that Solm took in? The pauldron on the blonde one makes me think heās also a sword fighter. The orange haired manās cowl makes me think heāll me a mage or monk of some sort. Seems to have a āoneās flamboyant and the otherās grumpyā dynamic.
Next is a bunch of shots of our characters fighting corrupted in the destroyed bridge. I actually think this isnāt a part of the night bridge map we keep seeing, considering the Brodian and Solmnian royals are with us. We see Roy with the Brodian prince, like in the first trailer. We also see Ike with the dancer girl, which is an odd combination. Seeing Lucina with Alfred in a quick cut makes me think emblems may not be tied to specific characters as much as I initially assumed. In fact, Iām confident there will also be a cut with the Malig knight woman and some other emblem we just werenāt shown for spoilers sake. I think this scene takes place near the end of the game, where our heroes take back the castle of Lythos in a triumphant charge.
Next we get a scene of the fell dragon towering over the sorcerer. I think itās one of those scenes where the lesser villain steps out of line, and the main villain gives a display of power to show the audience who the real big bad is. This is also a good time to say a theory Iāve had since the first trailer. Basically, I donāt think this drow elf dude and the cobra wyvern weāve seen are the fell dragon. Rather, I think theyāre descendants like Alear. Mostly because the fell dragon in ural has front legs, five eyes instead of three and seems a bit larger and more detailed. I also think the Sexy Manakete woman weāve seen will also have a cobra dragon form.
Cutting back to the snowy battlefield, we see the summoner summon evil Lyn, who's shown using a bow, which is neat. We also saw Lucina and Ike using swords in the trailer, so it seems their weapons arenāt locked to the mural. Also confirming the villains have some of the emblems. Weāre then shown the Jester girl with a Lucina ring. Seems like a good way to spice up getting the emblems rings, attaching them villains to fight.
Finally, a shocking reveal. We see Marth turn into evil, red haired Marth. Itās cut to make it look like the sorcerers did this, but we can actually see corrupted Marth next to the supposed fell dragon in the church. This likely means Marths ring is equipped to our main villain, which is an exciting twist to say the least.
As one last stinger for the trailer, we see a sinister, red haired Alear in the pillars bridge, surrounded by flames. And a deep voice declares that everyone Alear has ever cared about is dead. Iām curious if theyāll have the balls to make Alear in the past actually fucked up and the like. Or maybe the big plot twist is that they were the fell dragon all along.
All in all, a pretty juicy trailer in the story department. Personally, I would have also liked to see some more maps, maybe what the class trees are like, and maybe confirmation of shape shifting classes. Still, itās rude to ask for dessert so soon, and weāve got too months left where Fire Emblem Engage will be the next big Nintendo release. Not gonna lie though, as someone whoās on his knees, praying for the the return of beast shifter classes, Iām starting to get nervous.
The does give me some theories for the story, though. Mainly, it seems like once our heroes are done in Firene (I assume finding Micaiahās ring), Elusia attacks Brodia. Our heroes help Brodia recapture its bridge, then head to the castle. Said castle is attacked by Elusian troops, and after defending it, Brodia decides to counter invade. There's a big battle in a snowy field, only for the Eulsian sorcerer to summon Lynās emblem and win the battle.
This leads to our heroes being captured and brought to the fell dragon cathedral. Here, we meet our supposed fell dragon, who takes marthās ring oh shit! Alear has a traumatic flashback, and then our heroes manage to escape to Solm. In this part of the story, Alear is super angsty about maybe being evil in the past. Our heroes then help the Solm royals fight back against Elusia, and eventually the Elusian princesses and thei retainers canāt take the fell dragons antics and side with the heroes.
Then itās actually counter invasion time, baby! Basically just our heroes pressing deeper and deeper into enemy territory until they get to the church. This leads to Alear having some kind of character arc about their past, and after a battle against the fell dragon or the Sorcerer, getting Marthās ring back.
Before our heroes can retake Lythos, though, I think weāll have to fight Brodia for a little bit. Why? Because, well, just look at their king, who's been described as ambitious. Maybe this will lead into why Elusia felt it needed to side with the fell dragon in the first place.
Once thatās taken care of, our heroes bring the fight to the fell dragon. We go though Lythos/ the dark country, taking care of the generals and the like. This leads to a big battle with the fell dragon, only for the real fell dragon to be revived somehow and become the final boss. Then your typical fe ending happens.
Then again, my predictions havenāt exactly been accurate lately. Uhhā¦ The drip marketings gonna stay at a slow and inconsistent pace.
Also, yes, I know some of the details about these characters were revealed in the leaks, but I donāt wanna spoil stuff.

š CRUNCHYROLL: ECCO IL PALINSESTO ANIME DELL'AUTUNNO 2024
C'ĆØ di tutto, nominate una serie e 99/100 la trovate in lista! Se non c'ĆØ, vuol dire che si sono scordati di annunciarla.
Non so se fa questo effetto anche a voi, ma ogni anno l'estate passa sempre prima. E non solo l'estate, qua ĆØ quasi chiuso anche il 2024. True Frieren momento.
Qua di seguito trovate il palinsesto completo (piĆ¹ o meno) di tutte le novitĆ in arrivo su Crunchyroll, simulcastĀ e non solo, fra ottobre e dicembre.
Oh, un piccolo momento di raccoglimento, per favore: bello il restyle grafico della piattaforma, con tanto di animazione e scrocchiata finale che ti mette un sacchetto di patatine in mano in meno di un minuto, ma... abbiamo perso Hime e Yuzu! Sono tristo e mesto.

Trailer thoughts. trailer spoilers.
Rhaerhae got herself a new hairdresser and a new stylist, good job queen. I do worry because how much of the war budget of the Blacks went into this new stylist.
Alicent seems to seek therapy at lake Laogai. Watch out, i heard they kept a nessie in there. Nessie is friend. Just in case, let Aemond befriend her, he likes green lizards.
Otto takes responsabilty ''Look, some mistakes were made but we all make them, amright?'' alicent: you dumb c-
Aemond seeking an active form of therapy, good to see it. If i dont see one corpse burning at his hand i dont want to watch this show anymore. ''Damn vhagar thats a little toxic dont we think?'' toxic is my second name. He likely is rampaging because for a PRINCE a ROYAL a TRUEBORN TARGARYEN RICH NOBLE SON WHO HAS A MF WALLET HE ONLY HAS ONE COSTUME AND FOR WHAT?!!!!!!!!! (Hook all over again im so so so done) ((i see this sh*t a lot with males in fantasy and they likely are ''oh focus on the women they wont notice'' YES I DO. I NOTICE. You cant convince me that Mr ''I-straight-my-hair'' has NO time to PICK a wardrobe before he rolls out of his bed every morning. NO. I wont believe you)
I want to see Aemond embracing his inner darkness.
Helaena. No thoughts. Protect at all costs, also new costumes for her. I love it.
Cheese: Look as a Dutch person, we dont associate ourselves with him. Ok? Just wanted to clear that up.
Criston got a haircut. Its his emotional area. Haircuts are happening.
Otto looks ...like otto. Idk what to tell you.
Aegon. Im not going to lie i was very anti-aegon before i joined tumblur but now look at that little golden retriever just pacing around and sitting the throne like he was meant for it. look at him rocking that little crown.
Baela. Baela is a very robbed character imo. I cant wait to see her on what looked like a dragon?
the book copy:*stares at me*
me:
the book copy:
ANYWAY-
Rip dragonseeds. We didnt saw any jace or cregan though.
or daeron.
Nettles.
Alys.
Is that old man that proposed to rhaerhae still alive btw.
the old one.
idk.
prob not.

~ reveal your watch & rewatch drama list ~
I was tagged by the wonderful @gunsatthaphan thank you so much for the tag š„°!
currently watching
KinnPorsche: Actually, I had no intention of watching this. After the first two episodes I was still very unsure, there was just too much slapstick. But then...wow...it blew me away. It's just so good! And everything is somehow represented: violence, university bl, adult bl, crime, a bit of chaos and humour, sadism, torture. an electrokink, love, mafia, sex and a lot of weird, but lovable characters.
Check Out:Ā The first episode was quite a good insight into the characters. What probably bothers many is that it was hyped as this very sex-filled, hot series and then there was hardly anything in the first episode...how bad! I think it's good that I can get to know some of the characters beforehand and understand their relationships.
Mama Gogo: I thought the trailer was great! And the first episode was also very promising. Not yet as cringe-worthy as I feared, but that will surely come.
My Secret Love: Oh my God! It's so much fun to watch the series! Earth and Fluk are performing so well! I just love them together and I'm so excited for the rest of the series! This is something that is very good for me and just makes me smile.
Sky in your Heart: I don't mind us rushing through it a bit, but I understand everyone who couldn't see the kiss coming after all the talking about the ex, the puking and crying. I'm scared about the next five episodes, but so far I just love Fah and his heart eyes! And Prince makes me want to pinch his cheek all the time, he's so cute. I'm really enjoying the series.
To My Star 2: Pain...the first four episodes were pure pain and I'm so scared of the rest, after the cliffhanger of episode 4...I'm so confused! But I love it?
Plus & Minus: It's all so cute and then depressing and then hilariously sad and now we're on the last episode. I enjoyed the rollercoaster ride despite the accidental kisses.
Senpai, Danjite Koidewa!: An interesting concept of the structure of the story. Kaneda is huggable cute and together they are also just cute. I'm curious to see what else is to come.
Love Mechanics: Since my Saturday isn't full enough yet, I'll also add this series to my watch list. The trailer looked so promising!
Dark Blue and Moonlight: Phew...the series doesn't make it easy for me. Everybody is cheating on everybody with everybody...I don't have a problem with that in general in fiction, but the way and the presentation and the dialogues!!!! I hate to dnf things, so I'll probably keep watching, but I won't enjoy it!
rewatching
Basically, I rarely rewatch entire series, just the episodes or parts or storylines that I liked best. Except for my absolute favourites! Then I can sometimes binge watch the whole thing.
At the moment I'm checking in on "Be loved in House: I do" every now and then (Shi Lei + Jin Yu Zhen are my current favourites).
But most of the times I've been more in the mood for new distractions and not so much for the old familiar ones.
looking forward to
Too many things: Vice Versa, Unforgotten Nights, The Eclipse, Moonlight Chicken, Fahlanruk, Even Sun Series, Coffee Melody, Big Dragon, Between Us, Bed Friend. And for 2023 I'm waiting for Light, the series adaptation of the short film of the same name from 2021.
tagging:Ā @ellaspore @alsoran @smittenskitten @elmindredaniq @stars-inhereyes @meglaroque @combeferret @softkuea and everyone else who enjoys a little list š

Lord have mercy Skip, I never seen so many racist grown adults thrown childish tantrums in all my life. It's all over The Little Mermaid, Lord of the Rings and House of Dragon. They are fucking fantasy stories! The Little Mermaid live-action for that matter actually looks really good and I am not a fan of live-action remakes. The trailer literally made me cry. Halle Bailey looked and sounded incredible. It gives me chills every time I hear the trailer. But if they want to throw history into it and forget about "fantasy" and the fact that mermaids are mythological (for now), they made Prince Eric the crown-prince of Portugal instead of Denmark which totally makes more sense and history wise. The music is Caribbean and Atlantica is suppose to be near Denmark when the closest sea to that country is the Baltic and North Sea. Make that make fucking sense. I mean if they go "where North wind meets the sea. There's a river full of memory", they may run into Elsa lmfao xD But definitely not Altantica. Portugal looks right to the North Atlantic Ocean. The Little Mermaid was my favorite Disney princess when I was a kid. I feel like this live-action corrects things. Again, if they still say "but it still doesn't make sense for Ariel to be black especially during that time period". Oh honey, let's go. Let's fucking go. I am going to bring Queen Elizabeth II's ancestry into it. It's something they don't talk about a whole lot. So Queen Victoria's grandmother Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was of African heritage that they tried to hide from the public during that time period during slavery times. They used powder on her face and wigs. And they made sure to completely erase her African features in portraits that was painted of her except a few. Charlotte was descended from a African branch of the Portuguese royal house. I am guessing there is going to be some inspiration taken from that for Ariel and Eric's story, however, if Disney really was going by the full history this would not be a fairytale. Ariel would of had to do the same things Charlotte did, even painful face peeling mixtures made of fruit to try to lighten her skin. But this is Disney and a FANTASY story.
All I say is all Disney live action remakes have been decent, mediocre, or trash. I donāt care with race swapping. Because seeing how Disney has just watered down their own characters stripping what made them likeable in first place doesnāt matter. That being said thatās gives zero excuses for racists to complain because the originals are available.
I get why Disney is doing it but it feels fake for sake of getting target audience in seats because ideally no effort is put making the movies worth something.
Iām sure Halie might be only good part of the movie but I have no faith in it. And I personally wonāt be watching black lead or not. Itāll take lot more for me get invested besides main actress being same race as me.
Or maybe I just want something orginal for once
