#alcryst my sweet baby girl i love you so much

[essencering]

↳ summary: you're like a fire sprite, alive, dancing and always moving. oh the things that you do to alcryst's heart.

writer’s blurp: i love this little guy so much just let me give him a ton of kisses all over his face. just a lot of little smooches that leave him in a fit of laughter.

✧┈┈  chance encounter 1 ┈┈✧

when you stumbled upon his hiding spot Alcryst couldn't stop himself from screaming. he was very rightly startled, and you seemed confused at his startled scream.

reaching out for him Alcryst did his best to curl up into himself, but nothing happened other than a quick tap against his arm and hearing you say.

"tag you're it."

and with that, you darted away from him, with a smile on your face, arms stretched out as if you could somehow fly away into the sky. all while alcryst watched the distance between the two of you grow.

✧┈┈  chance encounter 2 ┈┈✧

Alcryst hadn't expected to see you ever again, from the confusing kid who startled him, looked at him, made him it in a game that he wasn't even a part of then ran away from him with no one else around to tag.

to see you standing amongst those who newly joined the ranks of Brodia's army did something to his heart. you standing there, in the army's coat of arms, a smile on your face, shoulder to shoulder with the soldiers painting a wonderful picture of merriment that made his face feel warm.

"do you see someone you know?" his father's voice pulls Alcryst out of his thoughts, he can feel how his face flushed at the question.

"n-no!! the soldiers, all seem so happy together it's.... good to see."

✧┈┈ chance encounter 3 ┈┈✧

it wasn't until the third time Alcryst happened to see you he learned your name-- from none other than yourself. all smiles once more, and the warmth that he could feel from that smile made his heart do little flips in his chest and his stomach felt like it was full of butterflies.

he had a name to put with the one he had met so long ago. you're like a fire sprite, alive, dancing, and always on the move. even if you should be still after the most recent skirmish.

"if you wouldn't mind... would you mind spending time with me once you've returned?"

a leap, a chance to see if you would allow him to be in your life and share your time with him. with that ever-warm smile of yours you said yes, and the joy that bloomed in his heart-- it knows no bounds.

✧┈┈ tag ┈┈✧

years had passed, and the seasons have changed. the two of you have grown up a bit more, but not everything has changed. you still remained warm, and smiling at Alcryst, when he continued to keep looking for you after every return from the front.

Alcryst knows that much about himself hasn't changed, yet you say that he has changed as well despite his protests that he hasn't. you just so happen to be stubborn like that.

so, one evening, when you just so happened to be a bit more stubborn than most other days, Alcryst reached out hand touching your shoulder so fast before he smiled, turning away with the same words on his lips that you said to him so long ago.

"tag you're it!"

despite being several years late, it didn't matter, not with how the two of you laughed. chasing the other in a game that truly had no end for either of you.

Heya! In which chapter are you oand who is your favorite boy/girl?

I JUST FINISHED THE GAME!!!

Full Review of The Boys Below:

I ended up marrying Diamant first,,, very good choice,,,

And I'm currently going through all the S rank conversations with the pact ring so I can see them all.

Alcryst, Seadall and Kagetsu are my very close second favorites. Bunet is a breakout hit, as is the Party Priest and goth girl Zelkov

I love Vander because he's literally Frederick in like thirty years; but I don't want to marry him bc Alear will get to be with him for maybe 20 years and then he's gone LOL,,, it's so cruel (and also she has the appearance of a much younger adult than he is, so that makes me feel weird)

Fogado stole my heart bc he wants to earn dinner with Alear,,,like baby no u already have it the second we met i wanted to have dinner with you ;; 3 ;;

Boucheron I can't really get a read on, but I think he's ok! He's kinda bland imo, but I do like how he's so emotional (in like a good way lol).

Louis??? My big strong Stahl with weirdly broad arms and likes to take strolls in the garden??? I love Mr. Bedhead,,, he's literally what happens if you take Stahl and Azama together so he's got a soft spot for me kskskdfdskjsdf

Amber is,,,interesting,,,I want to love him bc his design is so HANDSOME, but then he SPOKE jSLDSKFJSKLDFJSFjdkf I like how much he loves animals, especially alpacas, but his behavior is just so,,,cringey LOL,,,I think he's my least favorite male character, but I know for a fact that as I start writing stories for him, he'll really grow on me (it happened with so many happy-go-lucky characters in the past. Vaike was one of them!!! )

MAUVIER,,, MY DISCOUNT FREDERICK,,, He's so valiant and so worried abt Veyle,,, he's such a good boy and I love his handsome lil beard ;;;

Alfred is interesting bc he's so devoted in everything he does, but also I felt bad abt not choosing him at first because his epilogue is so unnecessary (i won't spoil it but if you've beaten the game then U KNOW)

Jean,,, I don't,,, I don't think he's a marriage candidate, but if he is, uhhhh,, NO. Not only bc he's clearly like, 10 years old, but when I heard the worst British accent ever come out of that boy's mouth, and the FIRST THING HE SAYS IS "What the Devil!?" I almost-- almost-- threw the whole switch in the trash,,, he's a sweet kid but his voice is the worst SDLFKJSLDFJKSDF

Rosado,,, really grew on me, I love his design, I love his character, and his voice actor did such a good job,, he's like, so sassy but also so genuine, and Nintendo really did say femboy rights LOL

Clanne is fine- he is a sweetie like ricken but the whole "i'm ur biggest fan" thing that he and framme do just kinda turns me off bc it makes me think any relationship they'd have would be like,,, really unbalanced sjFKSDJFksdf

Griss,, I wanted to fix him U 3 U,,,again no spoilers but if u kno u kno and if u kno then u kno that my heart is broken ;;;;

Bonus Ladies Review: I didn't focus too much on the ladies,,,there were so many handsome boys HAHA

but i will say that i loved a lot of the girl's designs. Celine I was a little tentative abt, but she ended up being a sweetie and i love her,,, Chloe I think I have the biggest crush on tho??? like i wanted to date her right away LASDFJDSKLFSDFJ

Veyle,,, eh. She's fine, but her design and her character didn't do a whole lot for me,,, I thought her friendship and relationship with Alear was sweet tho, but it needed more development,,,

Etie, Lapis, Citrinne and Jade are all fine,,, didn't spend much time with them in-game, but i did like how sweet the retainer ladies were with alcryst and dia U V U but Saphir ended up coming into the final battles with me and she was the powerhouse i didn't kno i needed,, she was kind of a fill-in for the last slot at first but she really ended up being important in the last fight haha

Timerra has such a cute design and a lovely voice actress; but if i have to hear her say "THANKS FOR SHOPPING!!!!" one more time, I will, again, throw my switch in the trash-- I just need to buy 10 things from the flea market, why can't i buy them all at once ;;;____ ;; my sibling was in the other room and was getting pissed bc she kept saying the line over and over and thought the game was broken LOL

Panette, Merrin, Framme, Hortensia, Ivy, Anna and Goldmary,, all fine ladies who i enjoyed having, but didn't do much with at all sdkjfJSDFJ

and then there's Zephia,,, I CARED MORE ABT ZEPHIA THAN LUMERA AND I'MS ORRY MOM BUT ZEPHI JUST,,, SHE'S MORE INTERESTING AND TRAGIC,,, BUT ALSO HER DESIGN IS COOLER HAHA

lumera i just,,, i felt so bad bc they were fighting so hard to make her a character i needed to care abt but when u take her out of the game so fast, i could not be brought in to care even at the end of teh game,,, thanks for being a good mommy but also damn girl i just,,, did not care ;;; A ;;;

Also RIP Marni bc I also felt nothing for her LOL,,,i did like her armor tho,,, but also how u gonna keep pushing away my boy mauv, let him into your heart girl damn

Fire Emblem Engage Ramble because I want to talk about some of the characters I like!

Hello! I’m currently on Chapter 13 of Fire Emblem Engage and I’m loving it so far! I want to gush about some of the characters, even for those that may not know Fire Emblem, so prepare for an incoming ramble! 👀

(I’m only talking about my thoughts on the characters and their personalities, so I won’t say any story spoilers, but I’ll put everything below just in case anyone wants to stay surprised by the characters themselves!)

Okay, ramble time:

Clanne:

“Clanne, Divine Dragon fanclub co-founder!”

The baby boy! I liked him when I first met him and he still keeps stealing my heart. With his twin sister Framme, he has a fan club dedicated to Alear (the main avatar character), while also serving as one of Alear’s Stewards of the Dragon, or a protector for them. At times, he may overwork himself and get discouraged if he feels like he’s lacking at his duties, which makes me want to just hug and help him. He also likes making pickles and is seen as a brother to other characters as well.

Alfred:

At first I thought he was going to be all about muscles and strength, but I was pleasantly surprised when I found out there’s a little more to him than that. He grew on me! Of course, he still talks about wanting to gain muscle and getting stronger frequently, but does so in an entertaining way. As the crown Prince of Firene, he’s aware that he needs to act formal at times, but he also likes loosening up and having casual chats. He’s sweet and, basically, he’s a lovable dork.

Louis:

In all the trailers and in the first cutscene I saw him in, I thought he was a female, and then he started talking and I was like “Whoops-” Then I thought he was going to be one of the flirtatious characters, but he’s not! He’s very polite and enjoys watching others, but finds relaxation and education in doing so. He also is an amazing armored unit that takes zero damage from attacks that aren’t magic, which is very helpful for baiting out enemies.

Also! His voice actor, J Michael Tatum, is the same as Emmet’s from Pokemon Masters EX, for the Pokemon fans 👀

A video to hear him talk, ft. Yunaka:

Yunaka:

“It’s that mysterious wanderer, Yunaka!”

My girl! She’s my favorite female character so far. She’s super bubbly and peppy, but her backstory has some lore to it that she wants to hide and leave in the past. She’s a dedicated ally though! She also does impressions and Alear called her “quite the performer,” when I first met her, which made me immediately like Yunaka even more.

Alcryst:

Alcryst? Also a baby boy! He doesn’t think he deserves any praise or compliments, but he does. He deserves all the complements. He apologizes a lot when he doesn’t need to (which I can relate to). He deeply cares for his family and allies, and will stand strong for them when needed.

Diamant:

The older brother to Alcryst! He’s stoic and takes his duty as crown prince of Brodia seriously, but there’s also a relaxed, friendly side to him. The C support conversation with him and Alear have them talking about hairy caterpillars falling onto plates (hypothetically) which I thought was silly in a cute way. Similar to Alcryst, he cares about his brother and his allies, so he wants to improve himself to protect them and make his Kingdom proud.

Fogado:

I met him the last time I played and he seems to be very charming. I don’t know too much about him yet, but I do know that the battle music of the Solm Kingdom, where I met him, is a bop.

Pandreo:

“AR-ROO!”

I met him along with Fogado and he seems wild. The first time he sees Alear he says, “Oh hey, you’re the Divine Dragon…THE DIVINE DRAGON?!” and right then and there I knew he was going to be a fun character. His personal skill in combat is called “Party Animal,” which basically says everything you need to know about him so far. I’m expecting some goofy support conversations with him.

~~~

These are just a few of the characters in the game, so if anyone wants to talk more about, ask questions, learn more about them or any other characters feel free! I would love to let more people know about them!

[couldbebetterforsure]

Hey there guys, long time no post!!! But I finally had time to make a bit more progress in Engage (yay!!!!) so now I have a new update for you! Oh and I added my reaction to Tiki’s paralogue, which I forgot to mention last time!

Tiki’s Paralogue: I completely forgot to write down my thoughts on Tiki’s paralogue in my last update!!! I did it I think a short bit after I did Jean’s paralogue? Which is funny considering I’ve basically glued Jean and Tiki together for this playthrough! The paralogue itself was lots of fun despite the fact it took me FOREVER to finish it! I had poor Chloe slowly making her way around the perimeter to get that Silver Card from that random spot in the back (which bless because I am dirt poor in this playthrough so getting shit for half off is beautiful 🙏) And then there were those healers who are completely blocked off so I HAD to have Chloe take them out otherwise anyone else in my army would get trapped. The white dragons and Tiki herself were the most threatening ones of the enemies on this map. Especially Tiki, my sweet girl hit like a fucking TRUCK! Her conversation with Marth was super cute! I’m glad Alear now has a fellow divine dragon to speak to after Lumera’s death.

Chapter 10: Veyle honey thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction! Excuse me as I ignore that really unsettling moment you had before you disappeared. Yup I knew it ripperoni in pepperoni Morion 🫡 Jokes aside I did like the guy enough that his death was sad, especially with how upset poor Diamant and Alcryst were over it. The music for this map was SO good, especially the chanting that starts up once you break into the room in the center! Of COURSE I went and had Diamant and Alcryst take on Morion I need that juicy dialogue! And WOW that was depressing. Honestly that was some of the saddest battle dialogue I’ve seen to date. Diamant wondering if he was a good son and Alcryst telling his dad he loves him all while Morion can only growl and groan as a Corrupted. Alear’s own dialogue was also sad as well. Hyacinth was a pain in the ass between Lyn’s super fat reaching arrows and that cloning thing! But once I finally got to him POW he went down! Ha ha getting snacked on by the very evil demon snake dragon you summoned is a perfect end for you Hyacinth. Wow Veyle was the evil girl? I’m sooooo shocked…In all seriousness though, the VA does a good job of making Veyle sound distinct enough in both versions that by voice alone I wouldn’t say they were the same. And I get the feeling the nice Veyle is not so fake. WHAT? The fuck do you mean you’re taking my Emblems?????? Marth, Sigurd, Celica, Micaiah, Leif, Roy 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 Give me my babies back you piece of shit snake!!! WTF the time crystal too???? I can’t rewind turns anymore? Do you have ANY idea how shit my luck is?! Seriously what an interesting turn! Giving you several chapters of using the Emblems and then taking them away! How evil!

Chapter 11: Ooh right into the next map huh? With more really lovely map music! An escape chapter? That’s a new one! ……Hold it no time rewind and no Emblems with MY garbage luck??? AND random enemies will have the evil red versions of my Emblem buddies? Yeah long story short I had to restart this map A BUNCH. At least they didn’t take away the DLC Emblems so Jean (with Tiki) and Celine (with the 3H lords) weren’t nerfed. I’ve heard that some people ended up with some pretty shitty Alears who were only holding on thanks to the Emblems. I wasn’t one of those people but yeah my Alear still was not as good as she was when she had an Emblem attached! And wow I was so used to my Yunaka doubling as another healer since she and Micaiah had been glued together until now…..Oh Ivy? And Kagetsu and Zelkov as well? Zelkov my man!!!!! Yoinking back the time crystal I love you!!!!! And Ivy giving us two Emblems in Lyn and MY BABY GIRL LUCINA 🥳🥳🥳🥳 My sweetest daughter you’re safe at last!!!! And Ivy, Kagetsu and Zelkov join! Heck yeah more fire power, I can rewind time again AND I got a couple Emblems! The rest of the map was a lot more straightforward after that. Lucina was so fun to use especially with her “everyone dog pile on this sucker” ability! And Lyn was great with her long reaching arrows. And now I have Kagetsu that demon man on my side now! The after battle dialogue was pretty good too, from Alcryst being angry at Ivy to basically everyone blaming themselves for the disaster to Alear’s growth and determination to be better to both Lyn and Lucina giving their own advice and support. But my other Emblem babies 🥺🥺🥺 I’ll save you guys!!!!!

Chapter 12: I got to promote both my Alear and Alfred and I am so glad! Alfred’s flower crown got even more flowery~! And Alear can punch shit now HELL YEAH!!!! When do we get access to unlimited Master Seals because the few I have can only take me so far….Anyways, it’s on to Solm! Sun, sad, desert….I would die I am not good with heat. And welp we’ve all gotten our asses lost. Beautiful….Oh but here comes Fogado to save us from dying of heatstroke! A Sentinel huh? Sure buddy I’ll help you out if you lead us to the palace! I like Fogado he’s friendly and charming, even if he’s another now user I need to test my luck on. And what a duo he has with him! Bunet seems to talk in nothing but good metaphors. And Pandreo, a howling party priest I love that!!!! Oh fuck we gotta protect ally villagers? *sigh* Alright bring on the garbage…*sees the villagers are not in enemy range and don’t otherwise move themselves into danger* Oh fucking bless! A very easygoing mission even with the quicksand, probably as an apology for the last couple maps. I really love Solm’s battle music it’s so 💃💃💃💃💃 you know? Anyways battle is over and Fogado leads us to the palace and what!!!! He’s the prince!!!!! I’m shocked I tell you shocked! Not like preview info didn’t already tell us that!!!

Lucina’s Paralogue: After the last chapter the final DLC Emblems were released so I took a mini break to do a couple. I know the DLC Emblems have special conversations with some other Emblems so I only did the ones I have Emblems who comment on for. But that doesn’t have to do with Lucina’s paralogue I just decided to explain it here. Ahhh Arena Ferox my old friend! I think I mentioned it before but as I’m playing this game I’m also casually doing a Hard mode run of Awakening, my actual very first Hard mode playthrough of ANY Fire Emblem game I’ve played! With all the hundreds of hours I’ve devoted to Awakening already as well my nostalgia was cranked to the max especially with that great remix track! The map itself was incredibly straightforward, like I think I actually had a harder time during my Hard mode playthrough of this map in Awakening 😂 Luci baby c’mon I know you can be more challenging than that! But it’s done and heck yeah Lucina can now reach bond level 20!

Chrom and Robin’s Paralogue: Of course I had to do the wonder duo’s paralogue as well! And of course I brought Lucina along for the ride! Lady Robin is my girl so I’m sad she’s not here but I still love male Robin too! And Chrom!!!! My husband!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍 My original and forever top blueberry husband I am so happy to see you again! Their opening dialogue was both sweet and funny! The map itself was something alright! Especially once they brought out all those puddles. Also just from reading the descriptions Chrom and Robin’s skills seem super busted!!! But it was fun figuring out how to do things and I adored Lucina’s dialogue with both Chrom and Robin (she was so happy to see her dad again). But another map down and another Emblem bracelet obtained! Thank goodness because my squad needs some more Emblems, we only have the 3H lords, Tiki, Lucina, Lyn, and now the Chrom and Robin duo.

Hector’s Paralogue: I decided I would do one more Emblem Paralogue before I would head back to the main story and I decided to go for Hector since I heard he only has a convo with Lyn among the Emblems. I only know of Hector from FEH and watching other people’s lets plays of the Elibe games but I really enjoy his personality! This fucking map though…..Fucking poison hell….Every time I think I’m safe I realize I accidentally put one of my poor units in the direct line of fire from one of those poison sprays. And the number of times I had to use the time crystal because I brought Citrinne along for this map in order to level her up since I promoted her to a Sage but the girl’s made of tissue paper 😞 Citrinne, honey, please….Aw well I got that nice Hector-Lyn dialogue and Citrinne finally kept her ass alive long enough to KO Hector for me. That’s another Emblem bracelet for me!

And that’s where I’m currently at, just level grinding and bond grinding and otherwise preparing to continue the main story of the game! Still having tons of fun with Engage and can’t wait to see where things go from here! Also can’t wait to get back my original Emblems too, I miss them…

[giggly-squiggily]

I have finished Engage and here are my thoughts

“This is my husband Alcryst, and this is his husband Fogado.”

Me at Alear pre chapter 24: Pepsi Boi Vtuber for the win

Me at Alear post chapter 24: MY BABY NEEDS HUGS AND TICKLES RIGHT NOW

Have I mentioned I love Alcryst so much

Amber, you silly silly man. Pandreo, you silly silly priest. Bunet, please do not eat the rocks.

Alcryst my beloved… So stronk for killing all the bosses…

Hm, I take it you like Alcryst? :D

Aakrkjakjraejkrakjrekj You've convinced me- I got the game! I can't wait to meet Alcryst- he's so freaking adorable ajrekjarkjekjrjk! I love love LOVE Alear already! (I'm playing the girl avatar, but both are so sweet arjkejkrkja) The expressions alone won me over- they're so animated! They deserve all the tickles!

I feel like Alear wouldn't know what tickles are? It would be up to their friends to teach them- once they get hang of them they'd be such good ticklers? (On the rare instances they actually do tickle- they're giving massive Lee vibes)

BUNET EATING ROCKS HELP KLJERJKKWEJ They must be friends with Stardew Valley's Abigail akljejerja

I'm not super far into the game yet- but I'm really excited to get into the swing of things! :D Alcryst beloved I'm on my way!
