Yeah, the argument that "oh Hoshido is completely pure and good while Nohr is completely corrupt and evil" is complete bs and falls apart once you analyze the information you're given throughout Fates, especially in Birthright and Conquest.

Hoshido takes little to no interest in the issues of neighbouring countries once their usefulness is at an end, to the point of Sumeragi refusing to shelter Shura and other Kohga refugees after Mokushu conquered it, just because he wouldn't benefit from helping a now-destroyed nation; Dehumanizes the fuck out of their opposition, with even the royal family being raised under the assumption that the vast majority of Nohrians are inhumane, cowardly beasts who attack other countries for fun and pleasure instead of out of necessity, as is the truth, with things getting so bad that the general populace starts killing anyone in Hoshido who has even the slightest connection to Nohr, with Haitaka going rogue and forming a small platoon for the sole purpose of kidnapping, torturing and killing Azura (with that plot point being conveniently erased from the localization, with Azura claiming that she was the only one targeted in EN); Is so misogynistic that Mikoto and Hinoka were only allowed to take the throne due to the male heirs being either too young or dead to do so themselves, with multiple of the female playable Hoshidan cast having suffered through sexism in the military in the past; And is hypocritical af when it comes to what makes them any better than Nohr in terms of their behaviour on the battlefield, doing the exact same thing Garon did to Sumeragi by ambushing both him and Corrin while they were minding their own business, only to have the gall to call Zola dishonorable for ambushing them in return.

Nohr has it's issues, like the massive resource disparity caused by the nobles and soldiers getting what little food the country has for themselves while the commoners are left to starve (solved by the end of every route thanks to Leo and/or Xander) and it's history of invading and conquering other nations due to being too proud to ask other nations for help with their resource issues (also solved at the end of every route, with Leo or Xander taking pride in the fact that the two countries will be having much better and more open cooperations between them from then on), and is ultimately more morally at fault than Hoshido when it comes to the war, since they're the agressors, but it's also a genuinely better country than Hoshido in a few ways, most notably it's people being much more open and trusting of foreigners by default, with them happily accepting Shura into their midst despite also gaining nothing from doing so, and most Nohrians having no real preconceptions against Hoshidans and being much more respectful of them than the other way around: women are also, generally, much better treated in Nohr, with few to none of the female playable Nohrians having had any issues relating to gender discrimination in the military and being free to choose what they want to do with their lives without fear of being shunned for breaking away from their expected societal roles.

Thinking that Fates in any way portrays Hoshido as solely good and Nohr as solely bad implies a heavy misunderstanding of it's story and themes imo.

(Also, yeah, idk wtf the anon was talking about with "oh Birthright is just a more simplistic version of Shadow Dragon's good blue units destroy evil red units and bring peace to the world story"; an entire chapter of that route is dedicated to showing how rough the average Nohrian has it and how they still band together and overcome adversity by living in the underground, Ryoma's character arc is to understand and soften up to Nohr, ultimately deciding to share Hoshido's surplus resources with it once he's crowned king, multiple of the Nohrians Corrin fights are portrayed in a sympathetic light, and Xander and Elise's deaths are meant to be the emotional high points of the story lol)

(Also also, Ryoma himself never knew that Nohrian land was infertile and it's commoners were suffering prior to reaching Nohr and being told as such by Silas, with him vowing to share food with the country as soon as the war was over once he found out; the Nohrian monarchs prior to Garon were too prideful to ask Hoshido for help and tried to solve all their problems by themselves and the Hoshidan monarchs prior to Ryoma didn't give a fuck about what happened outside of their own country, causing Nohr's resource shortage to only get solved by the end of Fates, though it is likely that at least one Nohrian monarch swallowed their pride, asked Hoshido's monarch for help, and got told to fuck off; no real proof of that tho)

Oh thanks!

Yeah, in general both Nohr and Hoshido are flawed, in different ways, but flawed nonetheless!

Hoshido's extreme isolationism leads them to, not understand why Nohr feels obliged to attack them (but then Mikoto makes her special "and they don't want to fight anymore!" magic, so what happens to the Nohrians who are affected by her magic? Are they killed, or do they return to Nohr or... what?).

FE, in general, always tries to have some sort nuance, not the kind that would excuse imperialism or declaring a war, but it often took the time to explain circumstances that led to the war, so the blue lord doesn't repeat the same mistakes as his forefathers.

Imo, that's why in FE1 we learn about Medeus' motivations and why Jugdral's Travant is so well liked. Zephiel even gets a prequel!

It's never as clear cut as "red empire is evil and invades for shit'n'giggles and blue lords saves the world", or at least, it never was.

(Laughs) That feels very accurate. Marumaro and quiet do not go together.

It is like, the single downside of playing Blue Dragon, having to listen to Marumaro’s shouty voice.

Zola: Try to keep him quiet

Shu: You do realize this is Marumaro???

Zola from Blue Dragon (both the game and the anime) shares a voice actress with Kukaku Shiba from Bleach.

Today’s character that selfshippers should consider F/O-ing is:

(via @valmiro )

Zola from Blue Dragon!

[snowbellecity]

Oh yeah here's another obscure videogame girlie I think someone should wife up. Zola from Blue Dragon (a Very mediocre videogame from 2006 that I love. It has an anime I never watched so I can't vouch for quality there 😭)

[hematomes]

So far I'm 30 episodes into blue dragon (synonym for mediocre) and they're bringing back Zola (surprise antagonist of season 1 and also the only tan character that wasn't evil ,in case you forgot she becomes not a person anymore,oh also she turns into a bat monster which is kinda cool but also we gotta calm down a bit guys),and I'm like please god no she's already suffered enough

Anyway, how are they bringing her back? 10 year old PALE AS SHIT psychic child,like I'm trying to not cry wolf at every opportunity but Good lord.

And you know there is something interesting about how The main character spends 99% of the first season following Zola and how in the second season he follows the psychic girl and how he's repeating the same "mistake" (remains to be seen I guess) as he did before which could be interesting, sure wish the show talked about it though,but we can't have that we simply don't have space after the FIFTH HALLUCINATION BASED FILLER EPISODE and the what,one hundredth 5 minute scene of the comic relief character being a pervert.

I hope you don't mind me complaining here, I'm very passionate about this because I used to think it was so good,but never meet your shows you saw when you were little and barely remember I guess.

I actually have some blue dragon contents but too lazy to post

The Silvapithecus/AgDevil/whatever else it's been called has legit been one of my favorite fantasy monsters since I first saw it as Zola's shadow (Killer Bat) in Blue Dragon.

I also didn't realize until a few years ago that it actually is called a Silvapithecus and it's a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series and spin-off games.

you know... because i never really touched the DQ series until about a minute ago...

When it comes to how I've seen the AgDevil portrayed:

I'm still obsessed with Killer Bat specifically

I don't appreciate how they keep doin my fav dirty. Again, I'm no buff on the series but the two most prominent depictions I've seen so far are plot-twist traitors and it's upsetting me and my homegirls (Blue Dragon anime + DQB2).

liek... is that second one a recurring theme? ion like dat

but ye, The point is...

Seeing that one of my favorite monsters is actually a recurring thing in a famous series and not just in that one obscure other thing I used to enjoy years ago has rekindled the obsession.

liek... Not that the flame ever went out. It died down to an ember but now it's low-key an oil fire at the Häagen-Dazs and it's smoking out the whole shopping center.

This blog may very realistically become an AgPosting blog in a hot minute.

I want wholesome AgD content.

i also want them to be evil lil creechurs

I also want to obsess over their completely fictional biology and imagine what their social/hierarchal structures might be like.

One thing I'm interested in theorizing about is how design-wise, they're basically gargoyles and gargoyles were meant to ward off evil spirits? but liek... Their monster class is demon so they ARE the evil spirits?

the girls are fighting evil with evil and they're WINNING

good for them

Also, apparently in the first 1 or 2 DQ games, they could drop Dragon's Bane?

idk What their beef is with dragons, but I'll make it up.

THIS BLOG MAY BE INSUFFERABLE IN THE COMING MONTHS

bout to have a silva boi summer

liek... I'm legit about to get into the DQ series JUST for this one creature.
