Idk I thought the Seidr "Have a child with me 🥺" thing was funny (also on the ace spectrum!). Like it was shocking and a "Dude COME ON" (negative, derogatory @ the writers) moment, but. You gotta fight stupid with stupid. Alright I'm your absent transmasc father now (@ Kvasir -- or Heidr? Honestly can't remember how that flowed lmfao). I'm the world's first deadbeat transdad. I'm pulling other characters into the dynamic. I'm making this other guy I'm obsessed with a stepdad now. Dad who stepped up. All of this will be forgotten in due time anyway (when the next Book drops!).

On a more serious note though, I actually do genuinely like Seidr and all of her alternate selves... Kvasir, Heidr, Seidr, Gullveig. Especially since they look so different from each other (similar, but different enough to pass as other characters completely). That's something that's special to me, with my own personal experiences with being trans. Especially Gullveig, as someone who became Something Else when she wasn't prepared for it, very suddenly, and it hurt her. Badly. To me, it feels like a story of learning how to be kind to yourself despite it all. All versions of you.

My predictions/hopes for the New Year’s Banner:

1. Male Kana

2. Nerþuz

(Practically guaranteed)

3. Njörðr

4. Female Corrin

5. Heiðr Seiðr duo

Male Kana and Njörðr for grail and demotes most likely

And yeah ik Seiðr would be the lead duo unit

Hey it has been a roller coaster since the silhouettes bc for a while I forgot there could still be room for Njörðr on the banner and was getting really salty about it 😭 I sure hope he will be there haha

SHARENA WEEK DAY 6!!!!

SHES DONE!!!!! WHOOOO!!!!

Took me a minute to finally knock this one out and I'm honestly restraining myself from going crazy on the shading and background. But that's eight characters in a style I don't normally work in. I already over estimated the time this would take. I'm calling it here for my sanity.

But with that out of the way, I wanted to thank everyone for the support during Sharena Week!! And an even bigger thank you for the people who made stuff for it! I'm putting it all your art in my pocket. I am running away with it. I am intently staring at it once I have escaped the authorities.

This has been very fun! Big thank you for @sharenaweek / @sharenalovemail for hosting. Please please please go check out everything she's doing. Stare at 'em with your eyes!

And with that I'm gonna back into hibernation! See you once Kiran Fire Emblem inevitably takes over my brain again :D

A doodle of Seidr from Fire Emblem Heroes that I made as a gift for @littleclairvoyant I definitely picked a trickier character to draw, but I think it turned out well enough in the end =)

Okay I want to write an essay here about Gullveig and Book 7 and themes of agency and how Gullveig's mega-waifu design is actually integral to this.

The way Gullveig is designed, she rarely if ever smiles. Even when you Summon her. She's a dutiful servant. She has no agency. This is the future Njordr envisioned for her: an agentless, demure woman who does as she's told. She's gorgeous--breasting boobily and everything.

Kvasir already thinks she has little agency--that her fate is decided. She is lonely, and cares for the protag like, you know, a nurse almost. She falls for them. But ultimately, she knows her life is a cycle and it cannot be broken. She will be hunted down and killed and become Seidr. It doesn't matter what she wants--which is to live--she has no agency in this. It's Fate.

And Seidr... Dutifully does what Njordr tells her to, not knowing that even the ritual she does to "create a child" is a step in an elaborate plan to fully break down any sense of agency she has. The Golden Seer's Curse will ultimately rob her of it entirely and he'll have his weapon to take out his bitterness on the mortals because he's pissy he's not in his prime anymore. Seidr doesn't realize he dreams of being a mother will be dashed because the ritual is one to mark the player character for literal disassembly and soul fodder for a fake goddess to bear the curse in the interim. Because we could dismantle Njordr's plans by encouraging Seidr's agency.

It is only through empowering Seidr do we finally end the time loops for good. It is only by boosting her does SHE get to decide. Gullveig isn't gone--because she doesn't think it's fair that Gullveig should die. Instead, Seidr becomes a character who exists outside of time as all three at once through her own will. It is actually REALLY important to stress that she doesn't kill Gullveig, she absorbs her and they become one singular entity out of time. All three now exist at once--the ending is actually pretty explicit about this! Seidr refuses to let any part of her life be robbed from her by Njordr, and we gave her the power to make that decision but it was still ultimately HER DECISION TO MAKE.

Gullveig wouldn't be as powerful as a story of feminine agency if she DIDN'T end up a mega-waifu by the end. Because the entire point is she's a woman robbed of agency and turned into a thing. A living weapon, sure, but given the metaphors going on in regards to agency here, if she wasn't hot it'd fall a little flat because she's been molded into what a man thinks she should be. Her one act of agency AS Gullveig is killing Njordr because she can make it fall within the lines of the curse.

And I will stand here and say a lot of people were so busy being mad at Gullveig's design and the "make a baby with me" bits they missed the underlying in-your-face metaphor for the topic of women's agency. Of course Seidr wants to make a baby--that's What Women Do. It's also one of the biggest NEGATIVE acts in the entire book because it deconstructs the player character to use their soul as fodder to become a sacrificial lamb for the Golden Seer's Curse.

Anyway that's my essay. Enjoy.

Seiðr can lose little a hope, as a treat.
