So now that Embla has dropped, is it cool if I ask for Embla and summoner headcanons, platonic or not?

Embla:

-Embla is difficult to find. She hides among shadows and only appears when she knows she is needed for battle. If Summoner actively seeks her out, she ignores them for quite some time.

-"I have no interest in speaking with you mortal. Approach another." She'll tell them from the shadows, her presence disappearing as quickly as it approached. And she's quite adamant of this fact. "I am here to fight your battles, not appease your misplaced desire for companionship."

-She'll eventually come around. It's slow and subtle when she does. First she becomes easier to find, she'll let her place in the dark be known but won't outright come out until Summoner grows closer with her. "I don't understand why you continue to pester me, we have nothing to speak of." But still, if they do have something to say she does listen, however, she's scowling the whole time.

-When tolerance turns to fondness, she frets. Refusing to allow herself to fall victim to the loss of another mortal, she'll return to the dark, ignoring them outright if they search for her. They can still feel her watching and following behind them in the night.

-The day she comes around is abrupt. Appearing before Summoner at random. "I forbid you to die. If that foolish child of Askr asks you an impossible task, refuse." She isn't joking, she will turn around and tell Alfonse no for them. Maybe throw in a threat or two.

-Being friends with Embla is strange because sometimes Summoner forgets they're even friends to begin with. She's protective to the point of being insulting if she thinks they're about to do something dangerous. "If you wish to die Summoner, merely ask me and I will save us both some pain." She wouldn't actually... okay maybe.

-"I have no need for offerings but since these are from you, I will accept them." Any gifts from them are labelled as offerings, but unlike offerings she does actually treasure most of the things they've given her. Even if she considers them silly mortal trinkets.

What do u think Kiran is

How do u think the order sees kiran

*slowly sits up in my chair*

I think Kiran is a very normal person. This is someone you and I have met before. Be that from the other side of grocery store cashier, waiting in the same elevator, or walking by on a crosswalk. Kiran is a civilian from our world trying to roll with the punches of being warped somewhere completely alien. And you can see it in how they conduct themselves.

I always have a lot of fun writing Kiran’s dialogue because their casual modern speech almost feels like a dialect in comparison to the more formal fantasy tone everyone else speaks with. An “ain’t” will never exit Alfonse’s mouth, you know? And there’s a difference in “Do you have gold?” vs “You got gold?” To me, this gives Kiran an air of unfamiliarity to anyone they interact with. Let’s use Grima as an example, because it doesn’t sound like this grammatical change would make much of difference until Kiran has the audacity to hit Grima with a bro mid sentence. But that’s just how they talk. And as sweet and friendly as they are, there’s always moments like that to remind that no one has the cultural context to fully understand Kiran. Except for the audience, who can realize that Kiran let the customer service voice drop to talk to Grima like he’s an actual person.

And that’s just about how they talk! This view is only emphasized by every other thing about them! They’re a lovable goof, which is normal chill person behavior in the audience’s eyes but feels REALLY ODD to the characters of FE’s medieval fantasy war setting. There is this air of unknown about them that the more socially perceptive will pick up on and will try to come to a conclusion about. Example, I imagine Soren would interpret a lot of this as a dangerous and deeply annoying lack of intelligence from someone he has the displeasure of sharing a tactics table with. Or looping back to the Grima example, he would totally think Kiran has greedy ulterior motives behind that pleasant facade. It takes a lot of work for those types to realize that the discrepancy present isn’t really any of those things. But I also wouldn’t be too surprised if Kiran doesn’t try to directly prove any of those assumptions wrong unless they have to.

Why? Well now it’s time for the implications! Oh how we love the implications.

Because the Summoner is a different story. No one has any fucking clue what that is.

I can tell you what Kiran has pieced together so far. Summoning people from across time and space is apparently not easy. It’s not some school of magical study that some mage could pull off with enough time and research. Trust, Eitri tried. It’s a lot of complex moving parts. For example, the contracts. The contracts Kiran automatically binds their summoned to don’t even compare to the ones Veronica used in book 1. They are far more intense and infinitely harder to break. The only way out of them is if Kiran wills it so. Not even death is an option, because Kiran can come in for the revive. If they had to guess, it’s an older, more completed version of the art. Something lost to time. But no matter the case, Kiran has the ability to take full control of whoever they manage to summon. From a lowly farmer to the divine. And their power only grows.

In a similar vein, if there was any character to canonically see the hud, I think it would be Kiran. It’s genuinely part of their power set. I have previously described Kiran as the party mage until Veronica shows up to be the actual mage, but it would be way more accurate to call them a mystic/seer. They see the map, everyone’s stats, and is doing a fast amount of math to give the combat forecast. Then, upon processing all this information their enemies couldn’t dream of having at their disposal, Kiran can telepathically communicate any change in plans to anyone under contract. Kiran is not inherently some great tactician the moment they touch ground in Askr; they simply can do things no one else can. They’re learning the actual tactics part on the fly. This makes them simultaneously the largest ace up the Order’s sleeve and potentially its biggest liability. If they fall, it could cause a whole system cascade. By that same token, some of the biggest threats the Order has faced are the ones who do their research and rightfully target Kiran.

Now. Thinking critically about all that. That’s downright terrifying. A ridiculous amount of power has been dropped callously into Kiran’s lap and they have to work extremely hard to be moral with it. It’s terrifyingly easy not to be. It would actively take less effort to ‘take the reins’ as it were. But in order to be able to sleep at night ever again, they go the extra mile to not invalidate the will of their summoned. To take over like that. To make a colony of worker bees out of people. Because oh dear god they just summoned a child and the fact that they could easily force them to fight and die for them, only to be revived and do it all over again, is HAUNTING. No. No the Order has an in house orphanage now. This kid is getting adopted and cared for god damnit or Kiran might just pop a blood vessel. And sure that child is going to be a child and there will never be a world where they get along with everyone else, but that’s just going to need be a problem they address when they get there and not an excuse to use Hubris; the power set. Now replace the word child with everyone they ever summoned and you have the wider philosophy they apply to the entire Order.

They’re hyper aware of the power imbalance. They hate it with every bone in their body. They work really hard to correct it in whatever way they can.

So Kiran might not jump on the opportunity to correct those who think lesser of them. It’s… oddly comforting to know someone is keeping a critical eye on them. Holding them accountable. Especially since so much of the order just thinks of them as this quirky yet well meaning host. And, really, what can they even do about that? They have gone over the contract with every hero they summon and despite that they still choose to stay. So, what, do they try to inspire more mistrust? The problem with that they would have to actually do acts that intentionally inspire mistrust. And even if that was successful they can’t just waste the extra man power because every other month there’s some new divine asshole who wants them all dead. And if they fail that means they have to start their life from square one and god they can’t do that again so—

Just breathe Kiran.

It’s fine. You’re fine. Just breathe.

You have work to do.

So that latest tempest trials ending!!!

I can’t believe they did this…

One of the best tempest trials everrrr

Elm being so emotional and happy for Embla is so touching bc to most people he is a lot more rude

Ik it’s already been well enough emphasized that he is loyal to Embla above all else, but this was really nice and sweet to show how he genuinely cares about her…

And yes!! Mother-son moment!! To me!!!

I love how it’s so hardly a stretch to say that when Ash and Elm are like each other’s equals on the opposite sides and Askr considers Ash a daughter… just Embla isn’t gonna so easily say something like that as he would

Added to the implication that he had a hand in the making of her dress… oh my god like!!

Elm is happy to see her happy, that she’s actually participating in the festival and enjoying herself awahhhhh

Also loved the stuff with Askr too!!

All you are wanted here, let’s spend time together like old times… they are so divorced hello. Love them.

And Ash will join them shortly so they can all enjoy the festival together?? 🥹

The whole family is gonna spend some time together eeeee I love it.

no one else is making merch of them so i gotta do it myself, i guess

except twitter user Reartity, they've got me

[real-fire-emblem-takes]

Askr's insistence on helping Embla is because that's his domain. Embla is the Goddess of Closure and shuts out everyone else. Askr is the God of Openings and refuses to give up on people

If Askr gives up on Embla, he proves her right. He would prove that everyone, even the God of Bonds, is ultimately selfish in the end. He would prove that her isolation is valid

By continuing to care about her despite everything, Askr forces Embla to confront the flaws in her mindset. If he's capable of seeing the good in her, why can't she do that with others? Does that mean it's her own fault if she can only see the worst in them? Did she have more of choice, but was willfully blind to it?

Askr has to care about Embla to make their conflict of ideals work. He proves that even if he has to oppose her, he'd never shut her out, and her attempts to crush his ideals have never and will never work on him

If Askr makes an exception for Embla as someone he wouldn't show kindness towards, he'd be compromising everything he's supposed to represent in his kingdom which is why he won't
