My very first FE Fates fanart in years! And it’s based on my own AU where the Hoshidan royals ARE related to Corrin, and all part dragon just like her.

(I apologise if some don’t find this as funny as I do 😅)

Happy Birthday, Takumi!!!

So!

I decided it was time to make a new pinned post since my current is a little outdated! For those of you who don’t know me, I’m a former quotev author moved to AO3! Writing helps my mental health while dealing with chronic illness, as well as my dear readers. I’m Takumi’s (Fire Emblem) biggest fan as well as a fan of Malleus from Twisted Wonderland. I’m a woman.

Some other things about me are:

I enjoy music, be it dance, singing, music. I also enjoy making edits of character content as well as designing clothing. I plan to start making doll’s clothes again, so stay tuned for that.

This is my oc Robyn, who is the main character of my personal series Fate’s Flower. If you’re a reader of Fate/Draconia or Redemption you’ll recognize some of this art. Here’s my stories linked below if you want to check them out. Shoutout to Maiden Eva Churchill (insta) for the newest Malleus x Robyn piece (the Fly Me To The Moon one ;3 ) Others are Catiya for the more detailed Takumi pieces. WaffleCaramel, SoraYui, and Munedoesart. These artists have worked hard to bring the series to life. Hopefully next year I can start the manga for both stories. Fingers crossed?

And if you’re lurking here because of my stalker who tried to literally destroy everything I care about, here’s my side of the story. Please read it before you blindly believe whatever blatant lies they want to spread.

Intsys really keeps edging us for duo Leokumi so here is some edits of the meet the hero arts with Leo's correct flipping eye color. They gave him like a mili-shade darker than Takumi's eyes.

Fire Emblem and Aesthetics-A Mini Discussion

So for those who don't know, I don't really play Fire Emblem Heroes, but I still have an interest in seeing what units they release. Usually for fanfic purposes or just keeping track of new resplendent designs. But recently, FEH had an update for the original character of Dagr and it got me thinking about how resplendent from jotunheim look

Combined with FEH's ongoing storyline of taking from Norse mythology it really made me think-"Wait, why don't we have a Norse Fire Emblem game?"

Now look, I'm not here to bemoan that FEH don't have a console version, non gacha style game, but it really got me thinking about how we may be missing out on something relating to the use of a rich mythology and it only being in a mobile game more about collecting waifus and husbandos.

You see, Fire Emblem is no stranger to cribbing from existing mythologies like Norse in Genealogy, Arthurian myth and the matters of France in Elibe, and several characters just straight up being named after mythological/classic literature characters like Beowulf, Sampson, Priam etc. But its always done in this relatively Anglo-Saxon-British-French homogeny of aesthetics for their tales. So we can have a character named Sigurd, but he's not gonna look like he's fresh off the Viking Ship. Now Fire Emblem isn't the only franchise to do this, many pieces of media made by other countries draw upon these sort of exaggerated/romanticized look for fantasy stories all the time. And I want to be clear I am not advocating for "Medieval accuracy," I think that's silly. What I'm more getting at is I feel like FE could do with changing up its setting/aesthetics to perhaps inspire newer experiences.

Now I'm not saying FE as a franchise needs to be reinvented. In fact, I think FE has one of the most universal accessible mechanics in turn-based gaming. Simple to pick up, but still able to create many difficult maps and challenges. And by this point has made the support system one of the most iconic in gaming. But if the mechanics are good, doesn't that mean it could be transplanted into another setting? Well, In a way, yes. But once again, I'm not advocating for FE to stop being this fantasy style sword and sorcery story and become like the Napoleonic wars.

(That is a real Nintendo game by the way. Its wild!)

No what I'm saying is that the broad terms of "Middle Ages Warfare" is much more than simply a certain type Eurocentric fantasy.

I'll tell you what, as much as people like to rip on Birthright, I'm still shocked how it took so long for Fire Emblem to have a game where Japanese culture and aesthetics is super prominent and a main setting for a game. Fire Emblem tends to have one character who is obviously inspired by Japanese culture or even sometimes a single country. But a full blown game where so many characters come from and embrace this Japanese backdrop was unique.

Now of course it was still Birthright, so while you got these cool glimpses of a unique world and story like the Oni inspired Flame Tribe, the start of having a lot of retainers as main characters, the monk class and using fans as a weapons, and even roping in Kitsune. It still doesn't really do much than an average FE adventure with them. But it did at lease prove the the FE formula *could* still work removed from its conventional trappings.

Another in the different aesthetic, but missed opportunity category would be Fire Emblem Three Houses country of Almyra being pretty heavily inspired by Persian/Middle Eastern culture. A country that was gesturing so hard at an interesting idea that its left fan artist and fanfic writers to swoon over the idea of a possible FE game set in Almyra.

And if you want an even more recent example, for all the desert backdrops we've had in Fire Emblem, its kinda astounding it wasn't until Engage that we got a lightly (And admittedly exaggerated) African inspired country.

When I see stuff like this and what FEH is doing it makes me realize that we could be getting more. Im sure the next FE will likely still lean on its typical fantastical Anglo-Saxon look, but eventually there's got to be some spice to it. Sure it may be different, but Fire Emblem is a franchise that with each entry does try to be something different while maintaining certain core gameplay elements. So what is the harm of trying to approach something that looks a bit different?

Im not asking for an extreme change right away. Maybe start lighter. We have tons of pirates in Fire Emblem, why not a pirate/sea based game? We've even had the rare few pirate as a playable character. Its a type of story that could be told within the typical Fire Emblem world.

Then perhaps maybe something a bit more culturally ubiquitous like Greeco-Roman inspired FE? There's plenty of gods and magic, but also swords and spears to draw forth on. Heck, that may even open up new potential enemies or stories to tell with like an Evil Senate or a Gladiator culture. It could even push FE to maybe drop or reinvent certain tropes like how they approach the knighthood type of character where a certain culture's version of knight is different. Maybe even make new classes the way Birthright had to.

Overall, I think Fire Emblem is and always has been a malleable franchise. And because of that, I think it can afford to take certain risks on something as simple as drawing from another culture during the medieval magic era, while still being able to provide things that people still love about the franchise like the combat system and support system. Will there be push back on it looking different? Of course, I remember when Three Houses first teasers dropped and everyone was wondering what was up with the military school outfits and what even race was Claude. And of course a different aesthetic doesn't make the game automatically good. But let's remember, that people were judgmental of Birthright not because it went all in on looking Japanese, but because the general story and writing was lackluster for many.

But if you can make an interesting and likable cast of a characters that elevate the story, and make a memorable world for people to wage war in, I see no reason why you couldn't make Fire Emblem work set in the Netherlands.

If there is a personal aesthetic or theme you'd like to see Fire Emblem tackle, sound off in the replies. I'd love to hear what you guys think.

How have you been? Could I get “You know I’d do anything for you right?” with Takumi please?

✩ Prompt list link, feel free to send in more ✩

Takumi's been busy of late. Which is understandable, he is a prince afterall. But it's more so than normal. You'd be able to catch him in between down time to spend some time together but the most you've gotten of late is a passing glance, an apology for not being able to stand near you longer and a fleeting farewell.

You do wonder when the business of it all will end, but you've not had much time to ponder on it either. Always something needing to be done, and not wanting to add to Takumi's workload any further you jump on any extra task you can do hoping to be able to get some time together soon.

Although it's possible you might have taken too much onboard. Given how the next time you pass each other, Takumi halts completely, stopping you in place. "You look tired." His brow furrows in concern. "You don't need to work yourself so hard."

"Says you! When is the last time you had a break?" He grimaces at your words. "I just wanted to jump in and help that way we could spend more time together." You let out a sigh. Knowing there's probably not much that can be done, the tasks keep piling up and the hours in a day dwindle.

"You know I'd do anything for you right?" He says, placing your hand in his. "If you think we aren't spending enough time together just say it. I'll make time."

"We're not spending enough time together." You repeat to him and he nods.

"I'll meet you at your room later. And we'll do something."

"Do you mean it?"

"I wouldn't say it if I didn't." You smile at him, and he mimics the action. "I'll see you later, I promise." With that he lets go of your hand and carries on in the other direction. You do the same, hoping that the day doesn't drag on too long.

FE Fates Week - Day 4: 10th Anniversay!

Usually I REALLY don’t like sharing my oldish art from my high school years, because they’re embarrassing, but I couldn’t get my updated version done in time. 😢

Please don’t judge as I already hate it myself.
