Vampire Mercedes lore doodles (and vampire Lorenz bullying)

Idk why but every time i think of Ace's brother all I see if Sylvain from Fe3H. Like someone hot, playful and very problematic.

Which Sylvain…

Yesss 😭 I’ve been saying the same thing since as far back as 2021 and it doesn’t help that Ace’s Relax in Room bedhead reminds me of pre-time skip Sylvain hair… Maybe Anippola and Sylvain’s personalities are similar too!

It’s going to be so weird if they finally let us meet Anippola and he looks/acts nothing like Sylvain when we’ve already got this image of him in our minds.

I wrote an old version of this post long ago (like two years ago), but now I want to write it better. So here's an improved, longer version of this note:

At the end of Crimson Flower, Edelgard successfully kills Rhea/Seiros, and then she unites the continent of Fodlan under her rule. The Adrestian Empire rules over all it surveys. Rhea, Dimitri and all the others who stood in Edelgard's way lay dead and buried. But (since this is something you can do in Crimson Flower), a few people got away. Byleth had a weak heart, and Claude, Seteth and Flayn all escaped Edelgard's wrath. Presumably, they fled Fodlan for parts unknown. Either that, or they went into hiding, to await a day when they could have freedom.

Since Edelgard had already dealt with Rhea/Seiros, I can't imagine she'd even bother knowing where to look for the other relatives of Seiros. She seemed busy destroying the church and the crest caste system to care about a bunch of legendary dragons. So we can also assume Saint Indech and Saint Macuil survived and probably went into hiding alongside their kin. That's an assumption I can't prove, however.

Now… I don't need to go into what happened to every character. Because you can make logical assumptions, all based around their ending credit lines and stuff. So we know that Edelgard destroyed the Church. We can assume she got rid of crests. We can even assume she went after the agarthans after dealing with Rhea, successfully driving Thales and his kin even further into hiding (where they might be forced to make a truce with the others in hiding, like Seteth and Flayn). So depending on your view of things, Edelgard achieved a lot of good (or at least a lot of her core objectives). But she did it through extremism. And so nothing is truly stable.

Cut to 100 or 200 years after Edelgard's death. It's now the reign of one of her great grandchildren or descendants, and things aren't going very well. State Athetism has become the lay of the land. Her successors took her lessons and only radicalized them further. If you have a crest and refuse to get it removed, you're shunned from society. If you have any sort of ancestral connection to the nabateans or the agarthans, you're exiled from society. Hells, there's even prejudice against people from Brigid. And it's an empire vassal state! The old caste system of nobles vs commoners has been replaced by a new racial system. Things have stayed the same, only the circumstances have changed.

Into this world would step our protagonist, a newcomer to fodlan who hails from a distant continent. Coming to this land to visit their family, they find their cousins have all been exiled to the slums for their lack of proof as to their heritage. Trying to stand up for their cousins only makes a protagonist a target, and thus they step into a world of racial hatred and mad extremism. In the end, they'd be dragged into becoming the leader of a resistance movement dedicated to liberating the peoples who've been abandoned. The agarthans, nabateans, brigideans, etc.

I feel like the resistance movement might be tied to the old underground sanctuary of abyss, underneath garreg mach. Abyss itself is gone now. But New Abyss exists. An amazing labyrinthine kingdom hidden underneath the empire. A sanctuary for all those who the surface dwellers view as lesser or inferior. A safe place for people to be themselves, to experience faith and religion, to embrace cultures not of adrestian origin, to be different and unique.

Very few characters (beyond Flayn and Seteth and maybe the other nabateans) from the original game show up physically in this story. But their descendants show up. And statues and portraits of Edelgard and Hubert and Byleth and stuff would be likely seem everywhere in empire territory. The extremism has intensified in the centuries since, but the new emperors all claim they're doing as their great ancestor would have had them do. Proof that good intentions with bad means will always lead to bad results in the long term.

i had an idea come to me in a dream

[purrplecatart]

some fe things lol

Absolutely no one tagged me for this but I saw a tag game for listing your favorite female characters and creating a voting poll for them so I’m doing that heehee

I’m tagging @themstament and @incapable-inhuman @coffincookie and @snootedbooped

Honestly it's really funny that the recent discourse I was unwillingly embroiled in revolved around stuff like power hierarchies and racial biases in written works, cuz my English Studies class in uni tackled this exact same stuff.

And I don't wanna be like "well my college said this so obviously I'm correct", but what I will say is that R*xis and his weirdo clique would be looked at weird were they in that class lol.

For example, some of the things we talked about after just a few weeks was hegemon powers enforcing their views and perspective onto the people as a new status quo and how that's Not Good™️, and also how the ideas of merit-based power structures and "pulling yourself up by your bootstraps" is a hinderance to progress as it puts the onus of responsibility on to the oppressed to escape their own oppression. We discussed all of this because most of the literature we looked at was by black and non-black critics of white supremacy, class structure, and generational wealth. We even looked over the Civil Rights Act and the Housing Discrimination Act to prove points about this.

Claude being written to support Edelgard's ideals not only makes him look worse in a writing sense, but also in a moral, racial, and political sense. He supports what's equivalent to a Booker T. Washington way of thinking when he supports Edelgard in Hopes. He lacks his curiosity, perspective, and unwavering belief in treasuring life in Hopes, character traits that he not only was explicitly shown to have brought with him from Almyra (i.e. BEFORE THE ACADEMY), but were also developed as a result of him being of mixed race. I rake 3H over the coals for its attempts and failures at tackling racial dynamics and oppression in its storytelling, but Claude-for the most part-was relatively unscathed. Then Hopes came and made everything worse.

So, historically in both the FE series and the real world, what Edelgard does is for the worst, and making Claude support that without question is not only a slap in the face for fans of his 3H characterization, but a slap in the face for the first brown main character in the FE series.

Hapistance, but I gradually loose the will to draw

zigvolt and trappola sighting

Saw this recently!! I believe this character is from an upcoming mobile game called Ride Kamens:

This looks like an alternate hairstyle for Sebek (I’ll laugh if his Clubwear hair looks like this) OR his yet-to-be-named older brother…

Much like how I picture Sylvain from Fire Emblem 3 Houses as Ace’s older brother!

Yes, I will continue to collect these face claims until TWST finally releases canon designs—

RELEASE THEM, TWST 👁️ 👄 👁️

The way he says this to Felix the day after Rodrigue dies is insane

[cat-denied]

started playing fire emblem three hosues again! ...again. i say "started" but that is a bald-faced lie i am like two chapters post-timeskip what are we doing here

anyway i should post about fire emblem more as i am 100% correct on everything about it ever. i am currently playing verdant wind and, it's neat, and, i like claude okay, and, i love the characters, and, i like that we're trying to figure out all these weird mysteries, but, every time they're like "time to go kill edelgard! whose stated goals do in fact align with mine but we are just not going to bother about a) peace talks b) even pretending that we are not trying to kill her c) even giving the player The Option of trying not to kill her"... augh! awgh! oaugh!

this is going to be a recurring problem on all the non-crimson flower routes obviously but. aough. awgh. oughahg. uhg.

OMG OMG DID YOU SEE DID YOU SEE DID YOU SEE

ACE TRAPPOLA LOUNGE WEAR GROOVY HHJVDVJSXAJXKCDNCS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASJFNDNFF HES SO CUUUUJTEEEEE!!!!!

Someone's excited, huh?

Yes, I saw! I tend to look at new birthday artwork as soon as I can so I can get inspiration for the brief one-shots I write in celebration of each NRC boy's birthday. In fact, I'm writing Ace's as we speak!

It feels very intentional on the part of the devs to have Ace running late; it suits his character (since we know he kind of slacks and stays up late talking to his brother) but it's also a clever reference to the White Rabbit in Alice in Wonderland running late for a very important date. AGDVSASDLVIYwqvsssdB His bedhead makes him look SO much like Sylvain 😭 THE FUCKBOI WITH A HEART OF GOLD FROM FE3H.. . . ..... . . ...... .. .. .. . . .... . . . .

I like the little details about his dorm life sprinkled in the illustration: the comics/magazines (?) falling off of his bed--did he fall asleep while reading them?--and the sticker on the back of his phone. We've seen so few phones from the characters (I think the only prominent one we see is Cater's; we know the other characters own phones but we rarely get to see the full designs for them), so it's nice to add another one to our list.

I don't really know what else to say here other than good for you, Ace got a cute Groovy ^^; even if he's panicking in it... There's sort of a charm in that panic!
