Can I pretty pls have a 90's edge x Fem reader where some people are scared of him but when he talks to the reader she says "You don't scare me" and it leads to fluffy with a kiss? Love your writing! 🥺
A NEWFOUND LOVE
(The Brood!Edge x Y/N)
“Um..excuse me?” A soft voice and a gentle tap on the shoulder brought Edge out of his conversation with Christian, making him turn around to find one of the new talents, Y/N. Eyes wide and unused to people approaching him and Christian, Edge was able to stutter out a yes with wide eyes.
“Sorry, I just can’t find the merch staff, I was supposed to grab a shirt from them. Do you know where they are?” No fear was clear in the voice or face, only confusion.
“I think um, I think they should be over that way.” Stuttering through his response, he quickly pointed down the hallway.
“Oh, okay, thank you! Sorry for bothering you.” Y/N took a few steps back, thinking the conversation was over before Edge had a chance to respond.
“No problem, we’re just not really all that, all that used to people..not being scared by us, I guess.” He chuckled awkwardly while he and Christian watched as their eyebrows crinkled with confusion and were quick to ask why.
“The whole Brood gimmick makes us a lot more intimidating than what we are.” Christian was quick to explain from next to Edge, a grin growing on both of their features.
“Yeah, what he said. I promise we’re not scary.”
“Well if it makes you feel any better, I don’t think you’re intimidating at all! Actually, you’re quite nice. And pretty. Anyways, I gotta go find these guys, but thanks for all the help!” Before Edge had the chance to do anything but blush from their compliments, they were quickly leaving.
—————
“Hey, Edge! ‘Scuse me, Edge!” Y/N yelled through the overcrowded gorilla, shoving their way over to The Brood who had just finished a match. Edge stumbled around at the sound of them but he was unable to make out their voice in the crowd, so instead, he grabbed Y/N’s hand and pulled them along. After making it to the trio's locker room, Gangrel and Christian were quick to leave the two outside the door.
“I just wanted to say that I met a lot of people today, and you were probably the nicest to me, so I just wanted to say thanks again.” Y/N’s praise put the grin and blush back onto his face.
“Oh! Nothing to thank me for, but you’re welcome. And, um, I think you’re pretty too.” Edge’s comments made Y/N equally as giddy as the big, blushing man inches away from them.
“You’re getting a lot of thanks out of me today, huh? Maybe I could..maybe I could thank you in a different way?” Y/N’s voice turned into a soft whisper as they moved in closer, heat creeping through both as they stood in the door way. Edge nodded his head, unable to find words.
Y/N moved in even closer, noses nudging and eyes meeting. Their hand moved to the back of his neck, his own coming to tangle with theirs, lips finding the soft skin of his cheek before they barely pulled away, noses still brushing.
“I got a ride with Trish, so I gotta go, but maybe we could meet up on Sunday after Heat?” They still whispered, fingers fiddling in his hold and giving his a quick squeeze, while the two grinned, ear to ear.
“Yeah. Yeah, that would be really nice.”

Also. I don’t know why I forgot to mention this. But the entire reason I’m replaying Awakening right now—
Tumblr media
—is because I got it on the 3DS. So in ten thousand years when the Grind for Galeforce is done, we can check out the Spotpass paralogues.

(Meltiverse Mature Headcanons) Walking in on Mel touching herself and moaning their name (Part 1: universes 01 to 14)
Note: So yeah, this is basically headcanons/drabbles for every one of my f/os if they just so happened to walk in on their universe’s version of Mel while she was touching herself and moaning their name. This is part 1 of 2.
As I mentioned before, I’m not sure why, but I’m so freaking horny recently, maybe it’s Spring or the quarantine giving me way too much time to get lost in my own head, but… Anyways… Sorry if this is TMI.
So, for those headcanons, in some cases, Mel and the f/o already had sex before, in other cases, they did not, but in all the cases, they are in a relationship when it happened and obviously, all the f/os are at least 18 when it happen. You can look at the List of Universes if you’re not sure who are the f/os and what universes they are from.
Also, no pictures, because of the 10 pics limit and I don’t want to have to split this in even more parts.
Warning: Contain mentions of accidental and not so accidental voyeurism, masturbation, use of toys, dirty talking, oral sex, vaginal sex, use of powers and abilities, non-human f/os, non-human genitalia, awkwardness, silliness, some cinnamon roll f/os turning out to be SINnamon rolls… and some other moderately smutty stuff I don’t think is necessary to list.
-------------------- 
01-A
- Bowser is completely entranced for a few moments, not even really noticing when his cock slips out of it’s slit. But when Mel moan his name, he snaps out of it and makes his way to the bed. Takes it as an invitation and will absolutely fuck Mel into the mattress if given consent, which she will. Mel might not be able to walk the next day…
02-A
- Crooks is almost always lowkey horny even when not in heat, as much as he hates to admit it. But seeing his precious little mate like that, touching herself and moaning his name so desperately… he immediately assumes that, somehow, Mel got into heat, even if humans aren’t supposed to have those. He thinks that maybe, since she mated with a monster? Anyways, he does not hesitate to make his presence known and offer his help, his tongue and tentacle-like dicks already materializing in anticipation.
02-B
- Papyrus rush into the room, thinking that Mel was calling for his help. Seeing his cute little human naked, a hand between her legs… His skull flushes a cute orange color. He’s not as innocent as he seems and the sight go directly to his crotch, his cock materializing, much to his dismay. He thought he had more control than that. He apologizes for interrupting Mel and is about to leave when suddenly, he changes his mind and decide instead to offer his help.
02-C
- Felix freezes completely, panicking. It can’t… it can’t be happening… must be some kind of joke, he thinks. There’s no way someone as cute as Mel can be fucking herself with a toy that look an awful lot like his dick and moaning his name. He must be imagining things… Even if she’s dating him and they had sex quite a few times before… He leaves as discreetly as possible and go to the bathroom for a “guilty wank” and can’t look at Mel without panicking for a few days afterward.
03-A
- Until Mel starts moaning their names, both Bebop and Rocksteady just admire the view silently, cupping their hardening dicks through their pants. As soon as they heard their name, they make their presence known, Bebop with a “Need a hand, cupcake?” and Rocksteady following with a “Yeah, let us do it, we can make you cum ‘til you can’t think straight!”
03-B
- Bebop is HYPED and pretty much immediately start undressing, jokingly saying “Starting without us, babe? How dare you!” Rocksteady is calmer, waiting for Mel to notice him and motioning him to come to her before moving. “Maybe she wanted alone time. You not thinking about that, Bebop”
03-C
- Both Bebop and Rocksteady are so HYPED! Highfive-ing each other and going “My Man!” and then, they immediately proceed to undress and join Mel, decided to show that they can do much better than her toys or her hands. Mel is… a bit discouraged at their somewhat childish reactions but decide to let them pleasure her.
03-D
- Rupert knew before he even opened the door. He could easily smell Mel’s arousal thanks to his mutation and was pretty much drooling at the thought of tasting her. “Ah, you smell so sweet, my little pastry! Let me have a taste!” Hearing Mel moaning his name, begging for him… it drive him pretty much feral.
03-E
- Vinny is surprised, his kitten is usually pretty shy, seeing her touching herself like that, it’s quite a sight and as such, for a moment, he stays silent out of fear that she might stop this sensual display. But when she moans his name… “Kitten… Ya know ya can always ask for my help, yeah?”
04-A
- Coran is torn. In one hand, he wants to let Mel have her privacy and leave her to it, but on the other hand… His name coming out of her lips, the way her back arch as she’s gently rubbing that spot between her legs, like he did to her so many times… It turns him on much more than he wants to admit. He clears his throat to make his presence known, apologize for the interruption and offer to make it up to Mel.
04-B
- Hunk is blushing pretty hard and can’t help but get aroused at the sight. “Sorry for interrupting you, babe, but… Can I… Can we? I… really want you right now…” He is glad and relieved when Mel giggle and motion him to join her on the bed. He takes his time to make sure that Mel is fully satisfied.
05-A
- Will is 100% a blushy mess who will apologize and pretty much run out of the room… That’s it, until Mel ask him to stay. It doesn’t matter how many times they made love, he’s always so shy about seeing Mel naked. When Mel ask him if he’s willing to help, he feels like he’s falling in love all over again.
05-B
- Simon have a pretty wicked smirk on his face as he takes in what he’s seeing. “Well, well, well… Aren’t you a naughty vixen… Are you trying to drive me crazy?” He’s extremely aroused and definitely going to overstimulate Mel if she gives him consent. Might even get his Shibari ropes to tie Mel up.
05-C
- Datz is another one who is HYPED. Whistling in appreciation, he almost rips off his clothes in his haste to remove them. “I don’t know what I did to deserve such a treat, but please tell me so I can do it again!” He chuckles and join Mel on the bed, replacing her hand with his mouth.
06-A
- Gangrel is, surprisingly, at a loss for words. That’s not something he ever expected from Mel, but he’s definitely not complaining, opting to just enjoy the view, a hand in his trousers to play with himself, until she notices him before finally letting his signature laugh escape his throat. “Oh my… I didn’t expect you to be so… naughty…”
06-B
- Gregor is very much turned on by the sight, but at first, intend to leave to let Mel have her intimacy… But then, she moans his name and his resolution is thrown out of the window… “Do you want Gregor to help? You know Gregor can bring you great pleasures, yes? Can Gregor make love to you?”
06-C
- Poor Kellam is completely torn apart. He knows he should leave, or at least make his presence known, but his body refuse to move, or even make a sound. He’s completely frozen in place, and he think he’s harder that he ever been before. It’s only when he hears his name that he manages to snap out of it. “I’m… I’m here… oh… Mel… Please… Let me… Can… Can I touch you, please?
06-D
- Walhart honestly don’t even notice at first, just quickly glancing at Mel and seeing her, eyes closed and body under the sheets, he thinks she’s just taking a nap. And when she moans his name, he genuinely thinks she’s having a nightmare and asking for his help, so he “wake her up”. It’s only when he sees the embarrassed look and deep blush on Mel’s face that he starts to understand. “Was my Star thinking of me? I shall consider this a compliment, but just so you know… I am certain I can do better than your imagination…”
06-E
- Brady pretty much shriek before trying to rush out of the room, apologizing all the while. His heart is beating so fast and his face is red. The picture of Mel, naked and touching herself is stuck in his mind and when Mel come out of the bedroom to see if he’s ok, he try to grab his violin to play an apology song but he can’t think of anything but what he saw, choking up and sobbing as he try to apologize again. Mel, halfway between being amused and worried, try to calm him down: “Come on, Brady. It’s not like it’s the first time you see me naked…”
07-A
- This is one of the very few occasions where Gunter will actually get flustered. Even though he does not remember the last time he was so turned on, he is still a gentleman and will make his presence known and apologize for the interruption. But he can’t help but add: “I hope you know that if you want me, all you have to do is ask, I will gladly fulfill any of your desires”
07-B
- Izana is definitely enjoying the view. “Hm, looks like you’re having fun! Mind if I join?” He’s just so enthusiast about it, knowing that his cutie-pie think of him even in her private moments make his heart aflutter. He can’t help but praise Mel and pepper her face and body with soft kisses. “The Gods were right when they told me that something very good was going to happen to me today!”
07-C
- For Fuga too, it’s one of the very few occasions where he gets flustered. He’s tempted to embrace Mel and make love to her, but at the same time don’t want to invade her privacy. He ends up opting for making his presence known and ask if it’s ok if he pleasure himself in the same room or if Mel prefers to be left alone.
07-D
- Yukimura can’t help but observe. After all, Mel is using one of the toys he created for her! Of course, he has to observe, making sure that the toy work correctly, noting if there’s any ameliorations he could make… Maybe even make a quick sketch of Mel… He had a conversation about it with Mel some time before and she did give him full consent to observe her if he ever walks in on her in such situation, so he doesn’t hesitate to get to work.
07-E
- Benny is an absolute flustered mess, trying to leave without being noticed but it proves to be difficult with his eyes shut tight and he end up stumbling and causing enough noise for Mel to notice him. She knows how shy he is, that’s why she’s very delicate when she ask him if he’s willing to help, making sure that Benny is aware that it’s his choice and that she wouldn’t blame him in any ways if he rather leave. He ends up deciding to stay, undressing and letting Mel ride him until she’s satisfied.
07-F
- Arthur froze for a moment, his dick almost instantly getting hard. He starts wondering when he became so lucky… Or is it another strike of bad luck? He isn’t sure anymore… If Mel get angry at him, it’ll be bad luck but if… if… The moment he hears his name, he’s almost ripping his clothes off, almost falling on his ass in the process, before joining Mel on the bed and passionately making love to her.
08-A
- Hubert is, surprisingly, quite flustered. He’s still quite unused to the intimacy between him and Mel. Hell, he’s unused to intimacy, period. And to see Mel in such a… compromising position, moaning HIS name… It does things to him. He’s a busy man, he know he doesn’t spend as much time as he should with his Dove, but now, all he want is to spend the rest of the day making love to her, so he make his presence known and rather bluntly state as such. “I’d like to make love to you, if that is all right with you, my Dove. For the rest of the day, preferably.”
08-B
-Hanneman is itching to touch Mel himself. As much as he enjoys seeing her pleasuring herself, he’d rather be the one causing all those delightful sounds to come out of her. He wants to explore her, study her soft body again and again, find what makes her ticks, find the sweetest sounds she can makes. He feels somewhat selfish at his thoughts, but when Mel moan his name, he is decided to see how many times he can get her to climax.
08-C
- Jeritza is immediately turned on. When Mel moan his name so lustfully, he takes it as an invitation, not hesitating a single moment to remove his clothes and join Mel on the bed, grabbing the hand that was between her legs to bring it to his mouth, sucking and licking the fingers clean. “I am craving something sweet… And that something is you… I hope you do not mind… If I indulge myself…, my Sweet”
08-D
- Dedue have so much going through his head at the same time. Was Mel doing this because he was gone too often to make sure that King Dimitri was doing fine without him? Was it because he didn’t pay enough attention to Mel, even though since the end of the war, pretty much his whole world revolved around her? Dedue desperately wanted to touch Mel, kiss her, bring her to climax himself, but wasn’t able to find the right words to express it. He was relieved when Mel noticed him and asked if he could make love to her.
08-E
- Raphael might be a kind man, he can be quite direct with what is on his mind and his sex drive is surprisingly high. “Ooof, Sunshine! What are you trying to do to me?” There’s a noticeable glint of hunger in Raphael’s eyes as he is fixated on Mel, instinctively licking his lips, palming the quite obvious bulge in his pants as he makes his way to the bed. “You look good enough to eat, shortcake” The unusually dark and hungry tone send pleasurable chills through Mel, she knows that she’s in for a hell of a ride.
09-A
- Oh… OH! It takes a few moments for Guy to understand exactly what he’s seeing, but once he does, he is surprisingly pretty comfortable with the fact he just caught Mel touching herself and to be honest? He’s incredibly turned on. He absolutely takes it as a challenge to make Mel cum as many times as she can handle, trying to break their last record…  
09-B
- Kisame can’t believe his ears… But Mel repeat his name again… and again… It’s… intoxicating… All he can think of is that he wants to hear it again, up close and personal. He wants to wrap his arms tightly around her plump and warm body, he wants to sheath himself deep inside her, to feel her soft breasts and her heartbeat against his chest… Knowing that Mel want him so, it brings out his softer, more loving side.
09-C
- On Ibiki’s face, there’s something that could only be described as a sadistic smirk. “What do you think you’re doing, Pet? I don’t remember giving you the permission to touch yourself… It’s almost like you WANT to get punished…” He then proceeds to tie Mel up, edging her and then overstimulating her until he’s satisfied.
09-D
- Yamato.exe stopped working. He’s frozen into place, his dick straining against the inside of his underwears, unable to think about what he’s supposed to do. And when he hears Mel moan HIS name… Well, that’s embarrassing… He still doesn’t get why Mel have such an effect on him that he somehow ended up coming in his pants just from seeing her cum and moan his name…
10- A
- Buggy literally fall into pieces from the surprise, but quickly get his body back together and starts bragging about how, obviously, Mel is so in love with him that she couldn’t stop herself. He decides to give Mel what she obviously need… He detaches his dick and demand that Mel uses it to fuck herself while he watches…
10-B
- Usopp is nervously shaking, flustered, trying to stop his nosebleed and incredibly turned on, all at the same time. He kinda wants to stay and watch but he’s scared that Mel might get angry, so he tries to leave discreetly, his intent being to take a very cold shower to hopefully solve the problem of his pants suddenly tightening. But then, Mel moan his name and “Don’t worry, the great Captain Usopp is here to bring you countless pleasures!”
10-C
- Jabra can’t stop himself from howling in delight at the view, his wolfish instincts pretty much taking control. He’s READY, he’s hard, he’s more aroused than he ever remembers being and he wants nothing more than breed his cute little mate and fill her with his cum. And unless Mel ask him not to, he will transform into his half-wolf form to be able to knot her.
10-D
- Smoker gulp audibly, smoke literally coming out of his ears as he takes in what he’s seeing. “So cruel… You know I have work to do, why are you tempting me like that…” Mel stops what she’s doing, blushing from getting caught. Smoker makes his decision. He calls Tashigi on his Den Den Mushi and tells her he decided to take the rest of the day off and that if anyone bothers him in his quarters, he’s going to beat the shit out of them.
11-A
- Tyrian immediately walk toward the bed, a spring in his step, a wide and predatory grin on his face. “Oh, my lovely desert flower… Have you any idea how… alluring you look right now? I am tempted to just watch you… but I think I’d rather make you SCREAM my name again and again…” He pins Mel’s wrists to the bed with his tail and then steals a kiss before making his way down her body.
11-B
- Bartolomew just look for a few second before snapping out of it. He takes a sip of coffee from his thermos and then, suddenly, he’s on the bed, his body hovering Mel’s. He kisses her, letting his hands explore her, until… “I still have some papers to grade… I’ll be back soon, don’t finish without me.” And he’s gone… Only to return a few minutes later and continue where he stopped.
12-A
- Ryoma just discreetly leave and close the door to leave Mel to her privacy. Honestly, he’s a bit pissed at himself for; 1- Not knocking before opening the bedroom’s door and 2- Getting hard from just the small glimpse he accidentally saw. He’s about to go to the bathroom to get rid of his “problem” when he heard Mel’s muffled voice through the door, moaning his name. “Damn it, kitten. Why are you doing this to me?” he mutters to himself before knocking on the door and tell Mel that he’s home, secretly hoping that Mel would ask for his help… which she, of course, does.
12-B
- Sakura quickly leaves the room, a blush creeping to her cheeks. She wasn’t ready to see her cute Bunny in such a state. She takes a few deep breaths to calm herself before going to the kitchen to make some tea for herself and for Mel. While the tea is brewing, she goes back to the bedroom’s door to knock and tell Mel about the tea. Sakura doesn’t bring the subject of what she saw, as she isn’t sure how to admit, but she just can’t forget what she saw, and she decides to bring up the topic of “lovemaking” the next day.
12-C
- Yasuhiro barge into the room: “Mel-chi! I just “saw” that something really good is supposed to happen to… OH!” A goofy grin finds it’s way on his face. “That was quicker than I expected…” It doesn’t take too long for Hiro to get rid of his clothes and join Mel on the bed, his hands grasping her hips to make her ride him.
12-D
- Of course, Teruteru is HYPED! “Oh, Honey, you know you can always ask for my help, yes? I am your willing slave, after all!” and he’s eagerly waiting for an order from Mel. Imposter, on the other hand, is very much a flustered and aroused mess, even if he tries to keep his usual composure. Teruteru notice that Imposter is also turned on by the situation and can’t help but tease… “Looks like someone’s appreciating the view, hm?” Teruteru says, gently cupping and squeezing the bulge in Imposter’s pants before following Mel’s instructions of undressing and joining her on the bed. Imposter join them soon after.
12-E
- Surprisingly, Mondo is the one who is a flustered mess, barely stopping himself to yell out of nervousness. “Fuck… That’s way too hot…” “Mondo, language!”, Kiyotaka immediately snaps. Taka is strangely calm, apologizing for the interruption and just start leaving, dragging Mondo, who’s still frozen. What neither Mel nor Mondo knows is that Kiyotaka is totally freaking out on the inside, he just, somehow managed to not show it, for everyone’s sake. But once Mel ask for their help, Mondo and Taka team up to make sure to leave her breathless and completely satisfied.
13-A
- Winston was working on a few projects when Athena notified him of something worrying going on with Mel, apparently, her heartbeat was going faster than usual, her body temperature was rising, and she was even calling Winston’s name. Of course, he was worried, so he went to Mel’s room, asking Athena to open the door when Mel didn’t answer him. He would’ve never expected to see Mel on her bed, naked, a hand between her legs. She was wearing headphones, hence why she didn’t answer him. Winston just turn back to face the door and try to leave, but suddenly, Athena is… uncooperating and refuse to open the door until Winston takes some time to “rest”. “Damn it, Athena! Did Lena put you up to this?” Mel finally notices and remove her headphones and Winston apologize and explain the situation, still facing the door. He tries to take a deep breath to calm himself… Bad idea, he can SMELL Mel’s arousal and it’s not helping him to keep his self-control… And then Mel ask if he’s willing to help and the small amount of self-control he had left is gone.
13-B
- Zenyatta, being an Omnic, do not get aroused in the same ways a human does, nor does he need to masturbate, but he knows enough to understand the situation. He finds it rather fascinating, to be honest, considering it to be almost meditative in a way. He decides to offer his help to Mel, as hearing her moaning his name is one of the few things that does have an effect similar to arousal on him…
13-C
- Zarya feels like she’s falling in love even more, if that’s even possible. “Любимая моя (My Sweetheart), have you any idea of the effect you have on me right now?” She walks up to the bed, removing a few pieces of clothing before joining Mel on the bed, kissing her, caressing her and whispering sweet nothings in Russian.
13-D
- Junkrat is almost vibrating in excitement, a hand already in his shorts to touch himself “Well, ain’t that a pretty sight! Should we give ‘er what she’s cravin’, Hog?” Roadhog just grunt a “Yeah”, giving a thumbs up to Junkrat with one hand and palming his hardening dick through his pants with the other. “Gunna BLOW my load deep inside that sweet cunt of yours, Darl!”, Junkrat warns. “Squeal for me, Piglet”, Roadhog demands…
14-A
- “Well, well, well! What do we have here?” Discord pretty much immediately teleport to the bed and coil himself around Mel’s body, his forked tongue flickering out to lick her neck. “Didn’t think you could do that without me, did you? Why even bother with touching yourself when you know very well that I can make all your wildest fantasies come true?” Discord says as his dick slowly unsheathe directly inside Mel, filling and stretching her more than it should be possible.

Fire Emblem Awakening vs. Fates
Fire Emblem Awakening came out at a time when the future of the Fire Emblem franchise was on the line. The game was a make or break for the franchise and honestly, it was a really risky move to not only spend money on making a new game in the franchise, but they also had it translated and localized, effectively doubling the company’s work load and cost. But the game succeeded due to the character creation and much better support system when compared to other games. There was also the addition of the casual mode, which allowed players to play a little less safely and opened the franchise up to a broader demographic of gamers, it also brought in a fairly large female demographic when compared to other games (about a 11:8 ratio of players, or 55% male and 45% female).
And you know what, the games are fun. Though I’ve recently been seeing people going back and saying that Awakening was better than Fates on all levels, and honestly. I don’t really understand that all that much. I really loved Fates, it was probably my favorite game of the last year, which is a close battle with Pokemon Moon (it was a shit year in gaming). So to explain this let me do a small analysis of each of aspect of the games.
Fire Emblem 13: Awakening
Tumblr media
Story:
The first act is at best decent, the second act is pretty good, and the third act is terrible.
What? You wanted more? Okay, here we go.
I’ll be referring to acts by the villains we see throughout them. So I’ll be starting with Gangrel’s act.
Tumblr media
Gangrel’s act is fine if you look at it as a standard good vs. evil act rather than looking for anything thought provoking. The biggest thing that bothers me about this act is that Gangrel is just evil, he’s not so much Saturday morning cartoon villain (I’ll get to Validar later) as he is just the stereotypical, crazy character. I can’t even hate him because he’s just so laughably pathetic and poorly written. So many people hate him because he laughed at Emmeryn’s death. But Emmeryn’s death was extremely forced and really unneeded. I know it caused Gangrel’s armies to stop fighting, but the thing is, his entire act could be cut out and the game would be better. You could say that there was a rebellion in the neighbouring nation. You could even have levels where the Pelagians are fighting against you and keep in the attempt on Emmeryn’s live. Gangrel was an unnecessary character in a game that already has way too much going on. Hell it’s revealed in a DLC that Gangrel didn’t actually die during the fight with him when he joins the main cast. He was a completely pointless villain. Honestly I found this portion of the game extremely poorly written. Even if Chrom uses violent methods to win wars
There are other things in this arc that I could heavily criticize. For instance, it’s later revealed that Virion is a lord from another nation. He even acts like he doesn’t know any of you when he’s been fighting along side you against the Pelagian army. This even happens if you married him. Virion has no point in being a playable character until Walhart’s act. In fact, the only reason he’s even around is to hit on Sully. Meaning his entire purpose boiled down to chasing tail until later in the game.
Tumblr media
Okay, it isn’t all bad though. There’s one level that’s really good. It’s chapter 10, named Renewal. Mustafa is portrayed as sypathetic and a soldier doing his job for the sake of his family instead of being portrayed as just another one of the many commanders you fight in this game. I always try to go through this level killing as few enemies as possible because they’re all fighting for Mustafa instead of for Gangrel and you can spare most of them if you go straight for him. You still kill him, but he begs you to spare his men, who no longer have a reason to fight Chrom and his army. There’s a very human aspect to this level, unlike literally ever other level in this act of the game.
Well, I suppose we should move on to Walhart’s act now.
Tumblr media
Wallhart is a good villain. He holds very similar beliefs to Chrom and is a foil to Chrom’s character. He should have been the villain for the entire game and they really shouldn’t have made the game about killing some Fell Dragon that we don’t even see in a flashback until the final act of the game. Walhart stands on what he thinks his is moral ground. He knows that the quickest way to gain unification is to conquer, so he takes on the title of the Conqueror. He’s even fighting against the same evil forces you are. There isn’t a single level I felt was out of place in this part of the game nor do I think that any character, with the exception of one, is a poorly written character. I really actually like this act. That said, there’s not too much I talk about within it. With one exception. Excellus. Because they just had to have one evil character in this group. Yeah, that was pretty bad.
If anything I would suggest the game just for this act. And hell, you can actually download DLC to have Walhart as a playable character. Meaning that Chrom didn’t actually kill his foil and finish off a character arc. Well fuck off Nintendo.
Now let’s move on to Validar’s act.
Tumblr media
Oh, sorry wrong villain. I can barely tell these two apart when it comes to their character.
Tumblr media
Validar is extremely poorly written. Not only is he a cultist, to a dragon of death that eats souls at the table like everybody else, but they try to pull this Vader like thing with Robin and him in Walhart’s arc. I pulled a Skeletor voice with him when reading the dialogue out loud and it fit really well, too well. A lot of this stuff sounded like something a Saturday morning cartoon villain would say. The same could actually be said about Aversa, though she’s more of a lackey to Validar than his superior. She does however show more of a human side as she attacks you for having killed Validar, somebody she had respect for. For a character who has a weapon named after her, she sure doesn’t have a lot of character.
And then we get to Grima. Who’s also Robin from the future. And you’re literally fighting yourself. So, there’s one thing that can’t happen at this point and that’s Robin dying. Why, because Morgan has even been conceived yet, and Morgan has to potential to be a character, given that you married somebody. This is why i hate time travel plots, there’s often no tension because you know how it’s going to end. Robin can’t die, there for there’s no tension to see them die. 
But, like Gangrel’s arc, I did like one thing about this act. When Lucina finds out how and why you kill Chrom in her future she confronts you. If you’re her mother then she’s extremely reluctant to do so. Telling her to kill you so Chrom won’t die only makes her more reluctant and later Chrom comes by to reassure Lucina that their bond is stronger than Validar’s magic. It gives all three Robin, Lucina, and Chrom very human qualities. But that’s only if you’re her mother, if not she doesn’t have any reservations about killing you. Chrom has to stop her.
The Ending:
It’s shit. Chrom gives a speech about how they either killed Grima or put Grima into a slumber. And yeah, that’s it. People reassure Robin that her death would detrimental if you put Grima into a slumber but she’s just depressed.
In Conclusion (of this part):
The game doesn’t actually have a really good story. It has a massive up to it with Walhart’s act but the rest of it just kind of sucks. It basically felt that they had ideas for three different games starring the same characters but instead only created 1, which was to their detriment.
Gameplay:
This game is way too easy. It really speaks to how broken the combat system is when you can get any character to 80 health without bogging them down with items that raise their health. Not to mention that you can actually use a second seal with your character to go back to a base class from an advanced class with only minor detriments to your abilities. this means that if you put enough time into it you could potentially max out nearly ever stat on the Avatar character. Second Seals and Master Seals are broken in this game. See both of them send you back to level 1, but you still have most of the stats that you had earlier and there’s no limit to how often you can use them.
I don’t actually mind the idea of breaking weapons, it serves to slightly nerf your character, so you can’t just constantly use a single overpowered item.
In other words, this game has a lot of major balancing issues.
I was capable of beating the entire game using only Chrom and Robin. Playing the game on Lunatic mode would be a lot harder and it’s a welcome challenge.
They do have a good reason as to why Chrom and Robin can’t die in casual mode, which was a great addition in this game and was the reason I picked it up. Chrom is basically the motivational centre of the group while Robin is their tactician, if either were to leave the battle field their army would be at a detriment. It’s a nice bit of subtext to go with the sub-par story.
Music:
It’s great and fits the tone of the game. It’s nothing special, but it doesn’t distract from the game. Yuka Tsujiyoko did a decent job on.
Characters:
Well, I already talked about the villains, and Virion. But this game has a decently interesting cast of characters if you’re willing to use them. Though I never really gained an attachment to any of the characters, I can see why a lot of people would. 
Though there are a few characters I don’t like.
Tharja is a yandere, though she doesn’t really have any reason to be. It feels like there was a cut scene where Robin saved her, but it would make more sense for her to after Chrom, whom actually convinced her to change sides.
Henry doesn’t need to exist and only serves to be an annoyance. He shows up out of nowhere and has no bearing on the plot what so ever. I honestly don’t see the point in his character when every character has a comedy relief side to them.
Gaius is a thief who was looting Emmeryn’s castle as part of the Pelagian army. He likes candy, that’s his entire character.
Both Tharja and Gaius can be easily accidentally killed because they’ll attack you.
In Conclusion:
This game was fine, it was decent. A good 5/10 for me and that’s not a number to really sneeze at, it’s a middle of the road game with a lot of problems to it and that’s about it. If you don’t want a really complex story with complex characters and a shade of grey morality, then go ahead and buy it.
Next time I’m going to do an analysis for Fates using the same material.
