#Uther Fire Emblem

[saijspellhart]

Quick sketch of Uther from Fire Emblem the Blazing Sword (Blade). Hector’s sexy older brother.

I headcanon that he’s in his early to mid thirties, but the stress of being Marquess, raising Hector after their parents passing, and his illness (some fantasy form of TB) has aged him. Making him appear older.

Anyway. This man deserves more love. He’s fucking brilliant.

Idk how much you can tell it, but this is Ridley's and Uther's wedding day. I hate backgrounds </3

[mannatea]

part 16!!!

are you guys shocked i'm still doing these? me too!

Brendan... I'm so sorry... I know you were a super cool dude once upon a time, but it's all over now.

I wanted to say that Ursula might be stupid, but then I remembered how bad everyone is at geography so she gets a pass (being from Bern and all). There's quite a few Lycian territories, too.

"He has friends" is still the funniest response possible. Fire Emblem 7: Friendship Is Magic.

Eliwood's not just some hick... he has friends!!! And they have guns and pickup trucks! Be careful out there.

Boys... I'm so sorry that things won't be working out for you. :(

Is this a ship? Is this a ship? Is this a ship? Is this a ship? I'm—

The way Eliwood's eyes are closed in this screenshot amuses me greatly.

And here we have another interesting couple of guys. Fuckin' Darin, though. I mean, they don't have a lot of options now that Darin abandoned them and also they're kind of traitors to Lycia in general...

Eubans doesn't seem the bad sort; he's not a noble person, but he has his own ideas of what is right and wrong; heck, he's more morally grey than half of the other characters, since he's willing to do what it takes to look out for his team.

Anyway, for hating attacking women and children, Heath sure as fuck dove for Florina and Priscilla in my playthrough. Sir, behave yourself.

I do like the nuance here, though. Heath doesn't want to fight these people but he doesn't have a lot of options since he answered Laus's call to arms and is also wanted in Bern. I guess he could go to Ilia or Etruria, but neither of those places would grant him sanctuary, I imagine.

I do like Eubans reasoning here, though: if they succeed here in doing basically what the Black Fang wants, then they might at least find safe harbor with them; when the only other good option is to hand Heath over to Bern and hope to be rewarded for it, I'd say Eubans probably picked the right path...? Or at least, the path that benefitted the most people (in his mind).

Remember, too: the Black Fang still has a pretty good record for being just; not many people have figured out there's something wrong with it, yet.

✌🏻 Lyn just can't stay out of trouble, man. Welcome back, bro!! Rescue your own men so that they don't kill themselves, thanks.

I was never a huge fan of Heath compared to some (he sure had his fans, back in the day), but I really think he's a solid character. Replaying the game now, he actually has a lot in common with Kent—he just hasn't been as fortunate in his service. It's actually really nice that Kent can recruit him into Caelin's military (giving him purpose again, in serving a house that is worth his time). <3

Unfortunately that is not true.

Darling, you don't want to know. 😂 There's something extra funny about this, though, considering they've fought together and traded equipment like 10 times already. ANYWAY LOL.

May you rest in peace, sir. And in pieces, I guess.

Uther... All the girlies were thirsty for him back in the day.

This is the one of the coolest things about FE7, IMO. It happens this way for obvious reasons (because FE6 came first) but I like the understated vibe of saving the world in this game. Like everyone busts ass to do all this incredible stuff, but in the end very few people are aware of what actually happened, and even fewer understand the world was even saved.

This is one thing I used to notice (for better or worse) in fanfiction back in the day. Plenty of people wrote as if everyone knew the characters were all heroes; and then there were those who made sure to cover the fact that their heroism is never lauded—that these people saved the world, but will never be recognized outside of their own ranks for having done so.

I think it's interesting fodder for writing: how do you go back to your normal life after all of that? I feel like there's some comfort to be drawn from the only people in the world who know what you've been through and can understand it. Who else would believe it? Who else would know?

The things Uther knows. I can't wait to play HHM to remember more about him tbh. Off to the desert we go I guess LOL!

[etymology-of-the-emblem]

Elffin / エルフィン, Myrddin / ミルディン, and Merlinus / マリナス

Elffin (JP: エルフィン; rōmaji: erufin) is a bard involved with the resistance on the Western Isles in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade. He gets his name from a figure in Welsh mythology, Elffin ap Gwyddno, lord of Ceredigion. Before his lordship, Elffin's father asked him to catch salmon - to his surprise what he found in the water was not fish but a lone infant. He took up the baby, who was capable of speaking in eloquent poetry, and called him Taliesin. Taliesin was a semi-historical figure, called Ben Beirdd, or "Chief of Bards" for his skill with poetry and serving as the bard to multiple kings. According to legend, Elffin was imprisoned by the king of Gwynedd when he refused to sing his praises, as Taliesin was a more skilled bard and Elffin's wife was more loyal and virtuous than all of the king's court. The King of Gwynedd then sent his son to take the wedding band from Elffin's wife to prove a lack of chastity. Luckily, Taliesin was blessed with prophetic visions and knew the means to prevent Gwynedd from undermining his family.

As apparent from how much focus was given to him, The Binding Blade's Elffin pulls from aspects of Taliesin, borrowing his skills as a bard and his abilities as a seer. Additionally, Taliesin makes appearances in a few Arthurian tales like Culhwch and Olwen, where he acted as King Arthur's bard. This better ties him to the many existing allusions to the King Arthur mythos.

Elffin's true identity is that of Myrddin (JP: ミルディン; rōmaji: mirudin), the lost prince of Etruria. In Welsh legend, Myrddin Wyllt, also called Myrddin of Caledonia, is a bard accredited to poems found in The Black Book of Carmarthen and The Red Book of Hergest. In Welsh literary tradition are many poems presented as prophecies of coming battles; these are frequently attributed to the mind of Myrddin. It is said that after the death of King Gwenddoleu ap Ceidio, in the Battle of Arfderydd, Myrddin his adviser was driven to madness. He fled to the Caledonian Forest of Scotland, reflecting on that battle for the rest of his days. Or until saved by a saint, in modern Christianized adaptations.

There is plenty here already to relate to Fire Emblem's Prince Myrddin, but there is also an explicit connection made to Elffin. According to tellings of Elffin's imprisonment by Maelgwn Gwynedd, when asked to identify himself in the court of Gwynedd, Taliesin opened as such:

"Primary chief bard am I to Elphin, And my original country is the region of the summer stars; Idno and Heinin called me Merddin, At length every king will call me Taliesin."

From the horse's mouth: Taliesin is Myrrdin, little sense as that makes. And so, the Etrurian Myrrdin and the bard Elffin, who is heavily based on Taliesin, are appropriately one and the same. And yet it goes deeper still.

Merlinus (JP: マリナス; rōmaji: marinasu) is a traveling merchant turned inventory manager and adviser to House Pherae in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade and The Blazing Blade. Merlinus Caledonensis was another name for Myrddin Wyllt. And it was from Myrddin Wyltt, combined with a similar figure called Ambrosius Aurelianus, that Geoffrey of Monmouth created the character of the magician Merlin. Originally called Merlinus Ambrosius, he was a madman sired by an incubus, capable of prophecy and form-shifting magic. He used this magic to change the appearance of Uther Pendragon to that of his mortal enemy, so that he may bear a son - King Arthur - with the opposing king's wife in their own bed. Later French-based adaptations of the Matter of Britain would change Merlin from an insane visionary to a sagely wizard and adviser to Arthur from an early age. Merlinus, as Roy's tactician and adviser, is more based on the later versions of Merlin's character.

We Danced Anyway

Written by: me (Saij Spellhart)

Rating: Explicit

Relationships: Uther x Lyn (Hector’s older brother and Lyndis)

Fandoms: Fire Emblem the Blazing Sword (Blade)

Summary: Lyn travels to Ostia to negotiate a political marriage to Hector. They’re friends, comrades, and their union will strengthen both Caelin and Ostia. The union made sense. Uther couldn’t be happier for his younger brother. That is, until Uther meets Lady Lyndis.

As a mutual attraction blossoms, they both find it increasingly more difficult to stay away from each other.

(Uther falls for his younger brother’s fiancée, and equally Lyn has it bad for Hector’s older brother.)

Warnings: forbidden romance, age difference, infidelity, mature content, sickness. (Uther has TB, and Lyn is not repulsed by it.)

I wrote this first and foremost for my husband. He gave me the idea through a conversation we had about Uther, and was supportive throughout the process of writing it. As of posting this, I’ve already written out the entire fic aside from the last chapter. So updates will be frequent and timely.

Fire Emblem Engage Xenologue

The Emblem Bracelet of Firene: The Brash General

In the Xenologue, the Emblem Bracelet entrusted to Firene is Hector; The Brash General. It could be argued that Hector's experiences in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade and Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade make him the perfect Emblem to represent the country. 

The first experience that connects Hector to the royalty of Firene; Alfred and Celine, is the death of a parent from illness. Hector's parents both died of disease and a similar fate struck his brother; Uther. Alfred and Celine's father died from illness as well. Hector shares the grief and experience of what it feels like to lose family to illness with the two royals.

Xenologue Firene’s citizens are known for being warmongering and quick to anger. In Xenologue Chapter 2: Seeds of Unrest, Alfred is seen being easily angered by his sister's suggestions about Nel and Nil turning people into the Corrupted. In response he threatens to set Alear free by killing them. At the start of his journey Hector let his emotions get the best of him such as when Leila is killed by the Black Fang, he goes to kill all of them because he doesn't know the individual responsible. He also lashed out at Oswin for keeping his brother's death a secret, despite the fact that he was under strict orders to do so. 

Xenologue Alfred and Hector both had strong bonds with the main protagonist of their respective worlds. Xenologue Alfred had a strong bond with Xenologue Alear. His dying words in Xenologue Chapter 6: Seven Bracelets, reveal his relief at being able to join his friend in a beautiful field of flowers. Hector had a strong bond with Eliwood, the pair became blood brothers by shaking cut hands. They constantly sparred together and Eliwood would often be the one to cool Hector's temper. 

The Bracelet of The Brash General: Hector is a defensive Emblem; anyone who wears the bracelet is given improved defence and resistance. A defensive Emblem might seem a strange pick for a warmongering country. His buffs to the defence and resistance allow the attacker to aggressively attack without the concern about being hurt. 

[draceempressa]

was thinking in how the emblems fits the wielders....

Diamant have Roy. In his home game, Roy eventually admit he has bottled depression and anxiety bc he was pushed to be leader of the league. And in the valentine event in heroes, he worry about his dad Eliwood, who dismiss it, in much subtler way, but still kinda similar to how Morion dismiss Diamant's warning. Also, feh is loaded with implication that Roy's mom is Ninian, and bottling up isn't a fire personality. That was an ice one, and Diamant himself is also a bottler. yes I'm basically saying diamant is fire type elsa, not only bottler but also afraid by their own powers who matched them so yeaaaahh

In the paralogue, Alfred have Hector (he have wolf beil, so the emblem have to be hector). As we have seen that it seems the younger royals are more active in the dlc, why pair Hector with the flowery, peaceful Firene? Because Hector is meant to match Celine. Hector watched Uther dies slowly from his illness and become marquess, just like Celine watched Alfred dies slowly from his liness and become queen.and Hector despite is one of the most iconic hothead of the franchise, is actually pretty pragmatic beneath that, just like Celine is cunning beyond her tea loving supports.

Veronica mentioned in her home world, she was Brodia's emblem. She was meant to match the Alcryst of this world. Veronica, sick of her pacifist stepmother, the current ruling empress, led invasion to Askr, thinking it's their right bc fate or stronger kingdom or smth, and her people loved her for it. And yet, Bruno can't leave her, he simply can't, he stayed by her side anyway, just like Alcryst is finally sick of Diamant's pacifism, withhold the brodian motto of might and goes around with all the war crimes and yet, Diamant stays by his side anyway.

Uther / Ridley Fluff Alphabet

(Ridley is my oc who takes the place of Mark)

A ctivities - What do they like to do with their s/o? How do they spend their free time with them?

Neither of them have much free time, and most of the time they only see each other while they are in the middle of working. Uther with his marquess responsibilities, and Ridley with their advisor role. When they don’t see other during work, they only see each other during early morning or late night.

Uther likes to go on walks to clear his mind, and Ridley often joins him. He always is willing to slow down for Ridley to catch up with him.

Ridley enjoys just sitting with Uther. As long as they are in the same room together, he’s happy.

B eauty - What do they admire about their s/o? What do they think is beautiful about them?

Uther loves Ridley’s eyes. He loves the four different shades in them. Uther also likes the way Ridley’s ears turn red when he blushes, and how his ears twitch when he gets embarrassed.

Ridley loves Uther’s hair; he runs his hands through his hair whenever he can. He also finds when Uther wears his reading glasses quiet attractive.

C omfort - How would they help their s/o when they feel down/have a panic attack etc.?

When Ridley is feeling down, Uther will just hold him. He knows Ridley isn’t big on talk when he doesn’t feel well, but the mankete still likes to be close to his lover.

Ridley might not be the best with understanding other’s emotions, but he will spend hours sitting with Uther when he’s feeling down. Whether they are sitting in silence or they’re talking, it’s hard to pull them apart from each other.

D reams - How do they picture their future with their s/o?

Uther knows he pass before Ridley. Ridley’s dragon blood gives him near eternal youth, but he wants to remain by Ridley’s side. He wants to raise their daughter, Finnley, together, and he wants to protect his homeland with Ridley by his side. 

Ridley sees himself watching Uther grow older and older as he remained young. However, he doesn’t plan on leaving Ostia until Uther passes,, hopefully years down the line. He tries not to think about Uther passing one day.

E qual - Are they the dominant one in the relationship, or rather passive?

They view themselves as equal in their relationship. Neither really outshines the other when it comes to who leads the relationship. However, Ridley is more likely to follow with whatever Uther wants when it comes to minor things.

F ight - Would they be easy to forgive their s/o? How are they fighting?

They rarely right with each other. If they do, it’s over very small things that don’t really matter in the end. Ridley forgives Uther at the end of arguments a little easier than Uther does Ridley.

G ratitude - How grateful are they in general? Are they aware of what their s/o is doing for them?

Uther is very grateful that Ridley is around. He understands Ridley has a longer life span, and that he will die before Ridley. He understands that his lover is very important as the heir of his mankete clan, but that he choose to stay in Otsia with him.

Ridley is very aware it’s hard to have a relationship with marquess and that Uther is often busy with political things. He has all the time in the world to wait for Uther to have free time, and he will do as much as he can to lessen Uther’s job.

H onesty - Do they have secrets they hide from their s/o? Or do they share everything?

They are both very open with one another, and neither like to hide anyone from each other. Even when they talk about what Ridley will do when Uther moves on.

I nspiration - Did their s/o change them somehow, or the other way around? Like trying out new things or helped them overcome personal problems?

Without Ridley, Uther would have likely ended up dead from his illness. He is forever grateful that Ridley gave him that medicine. With his second chance of life, he wishes live it to its fullest.

Ridley used to be very closed off, opening for very few people. Even when he was traveling with Lyn and company, he had high walls around him. With Uther, he doesn’t feel the need to have said walls. He might still be closed off to others some, but Uther helps him break them down completely every day.

J ealousy - Do they get jealous easily? How do they deal with it?

Uther doesn’t fell jealous often. He trusts Ridley, and he doesn’t feel the need to doubt him.

Ridley gets jealous a little more often. He can’t help it as a ‘non noble’ in the eyes of Ostia’s nobles. He hides it well in public, but becomes clingy to Uther immediately when they’re alone.

K iss - Are they a good kisser? What was the first kiss like?

Uther is an experienced kisser. He has had a few relationships in his life time.

Ridley had one relationship before Uther and has kissed before, but he was still nervous knowing his lover was older.

Uther initiated their first kiss. He went slow and gave Ridley plenty of chances to pull away if he wanted. Ridley was bright red during it.

L ove Confession - How would they confess to their s/o?

Ridley is the one who confesses his love for Uher first.

M arriage - Do they want to get married? How do they propose? What would the marriage be like?

Neither of them care if they get married or not, but they do eventually get married with Uther’s status as Marquess. The proposal was a private moment one night where Uther asked Ridley as he was getting ready for sleep. Their marriage is just like their relationship before marriage, just without nobles complaining about Uther getting up in age without getting married.

N icknames - What do they call their s/o?

Uther uses sweet petnames such as ‘love’ and ‘dear’

Ridley uses less serious petnames, but Uther finds them fun. He calls him things such as ‘blue’ or ‘specs’(when he’s wearing his glasses)

O n Cloud Nine - What are they like when they are in love? Is it obvious for others? How do they express their feelings?

It is very obviously to everyone around how in love Uther is. Oswin and Hector have both pointed how Uther will stare at Ridley, especially during meeting when he shouldn’t be. He actively expresses his feelings through small acts of service he does through out the day when he can.

Ridley doesn’t stare like Uther does, but people can easily tell by how he talks about Uther. He speaks with a lot of fondness that anyone would be able to tell how much he cares about his lover. Ridley shows his love through words mostly, giving his thoughts on important matters or asking about Uther’s day.

P DA - Are they upfront about their relationship? Do they brag with their s/o in front of others? Or are they rather shy to kiss etc. when others are watching?

Both are very reserved about their relationship, and they don’t talk about it unless with other loves ones. They will kiss each other or show other small affections towards each other in front of others, but they don’t make a big deal about it.

Q uirk - Some random ability they have that’s beneficial in a relationship.

Ridley has the ability to turn into a small dragon due to hiss mankete blood. Uther likes to hold dragon Ridley as a way to calm down from a stressful day.

Uther has a decent singing voice. It’s a surprise at first when Ridley first hear this, but he now asks Uther to sing to destress, like his Uther uses dragon Ridley

R omance - How romantic are they? What would they do to make their s/o happy? Cliché or rather creative?

Uther is very cliché. He taught how to court and how to show romance by nobles, and that’s the only way he knows how to show feelings. Uther likes to give Ridley small things like flowers or books, and it changes his mood every time.

Ridley doesn’t know how to show his emotions well, being raised away from civilization. He’s very easy to fluster, and he doesn’t know how to word his own feelings. Ridley just sits in the same room as Uther when he can, making him happy.

S upport - Are they helping their s/o achieve their goals? Do they believe in them?

Ridley doesn’t have much goals himself. He know he will have a long life to live, and he has plenty of time to do things. He just enjoys reading books about the world around him. Uther helps him by keeping the library well stocked with new books.

Uther has a goal to make Ostiaa better place and to open better communications within the nation of Lycia. Ridley is always beside him with every move he make, and Ridley advises him the best he can.

T hrill - Do they need to try out new things to spice out your relationship? Or do they prefer a certain routine?

Both Ridley and Uther are fine with the same routine, and they act on it most of the time. Neither really like change.

U nderstanding - How good do they know their partner? Are they empathetic?

They know each other very well, and they vibe well with each other. Sometimes Hector is convinced they can read each other’s mind with how well they know each other.

V alue - How important is the relationship to them? What is it’s worth in comparison to other things in their life?

Their relationship is very important to Uther. He will do everything he can for their relationship. Otsia is important to him as well, but if it came down to it, he trusts it in Hector’s hand.

Ridley gave up his life with his family on Valor to be with Uther. Wherever Uther goes, Ridley will follow, no questions asked.

W ild Card - A random Fluff Headcanon

Ridley gave Uther one of his scales as a courting gift so that ‘they can always be together in someway’, and Uther had that scale turned into a necklace so that he could wear it

X OXO - Are they very affectionate? Do they love to kiss and cuddle?

They are very affection to each other when they’re alone. Ridley likes to sit in Uther’s lap or lay on top of him when he can. Uther likes to kiss more than Ridley does, whether on the lip or other places on his face.

Y earning - How will they cope when they’re missing their partner?

Uther silently yearns for Ridley. He will think about him while working throughout the day, but he doesn’t vocalize it.

Ridley also silently yearns, but on bad days, he can be found in their room, holding onto something of Uther’s(like a shirt).

Z eal - Are they willing to go to great lenghts for the relationship? If so, what kind of?

Uther will do what he can to keep the relationship going. However, he won’t leave his position as marquess as Ostia also means a great deal to him.

Ridley gave up a lot to be in a relationship with Uther. He gave up his love of traveling to stay in Ostia. He left his clan as well. While he misses his freedom, he loves Uther and is happy to stay.
