[cartoonnonsensegirl]

Puppycat, we may have to have to kill this guy.

*incomprehensible gibberish* (Good.)

I am thinking about them again... 🧚‍♂️ The designs and au courtesy of @girafferoyalty :))) I can't remember what I said before but Python is definitely an animal talent fairy (ba-dum-ts) who spends more time lazing and lounging than anything else. I didn't get a chance to draw it but I like the idea that Rinea can also see Forsyth, and is very sweet about it ;-;

some doodles i posted here and there on twitter, then suddenly remembered i should probably post them on the site less likely to die (or for me to abandon)

[silverskye13]

ok i know haha memes but you said Welsknight with his reprised boss music and now i cant stop thinking of what his boss music could be.... so many good choices i might just have to curate a playlist HDHDHDHDHDH

But in the meantime i suggest Pride and Arrogance from the Fire Emblem Echoes ost, mostly because I love the idea that at this point, you cant tell if it is his theme or Helsknight's (affectionate)

Okay first of: Pride and Arrogance is AMAZING Welsknight boss music. I agree wholeheartedly.

Secondly, because you activated my trap card, I have [tiny] boss music playlists for Welsknight and Tanguish. There would be one for Helsknight, but I can't get it to turn out right. So for now, Helsknight, the most likely to start a boss fight, has none. Lament and languish.

Anyway.

The Welsknight Boss Music Playlist

The Tanguish Boss Music Playlist

The songs are kind of in order? They're meant to flow into each other well, and build in a certain direction. I don't make super selective playlists often though so, you tell me if it works.

today in "krad continues to be very normal about gunter fire emblem" i hyper-analyze 3H's teatime preferences to divine up gunter's favorite teas and a few other fun facts ~ :D

so, context:

in Three Houses (FE16), there's a teatime minigame where your avatar drinks tea with selected characters, and try to guess their favorites / favorite conversational topics / etc for bonding points. FE's pretty big on character archetypes across the games (nabarls, jeigans, etc); while it's never a 1:1 as the series does like to subvert the stories and character arcs in some fun ways, you can generally trace a pretty direct line across them a la 'wow innes and shinon sure share more than a few surface-level similarities' and 'man OG!Jeigan, Gunter, and Marcus are cut out of the same cloth at least appearance wise huh'.

tl;dr -- it's easier than you'd think to pick a few 3H characters that echo gunter's archetype/arcs.

since i've played through 3H a few times, the three characters i figured gunter would share at least a higher-than-background-average similarity in archetypes + taste were:

Hubert - loyal advisor that does the dirty work behind the scenes in black to a charismatic royal. definitely holds a not-entirely platonic flame for said princess who had a Fucked Up past. has a tendency to be the disciplinarian for the others. (also both characters are hellaciously kinky bastards but that's just me)

Jeritza - strict instructor turned surprise(!) villain yandere paladin with a more complex backstory than you'd think. even has the black armor in his alter ego, and dislikes talking to others / prefers being alone. (seriously does that sound familiar or what.)

Hanneman - older (ie, definitely over his sixties versus all of the other babies in age) classic jeigan archetype and another instructor, kind but keeps to himself as well.

I could see people debating Hanneman vs Gilbert on technicalities but whatever, this is my post, I'm sticking to this list. :P

so, next step! looking at serenesforest.net's teatime preferences chart, we find out the favorite teas of the previous characters are (common teas in bold) ...

Hubert - Dagda Fruit Blend, Cinnamon Blend

Jeritza - Albinean Berry Blend, Southern Fruit Blend, Honeyed-Fruit Blend, Sweet-Apple Blend

Hanneman - Bergamot, Sweet-Apple Blend, Honeyed-Fruit Blend, Cinnamon Blend

... and surprisingly, there was a very high level of crossover! :o holy shit i was kind of not expecting that lmao. I checked a few of the other characters just to make sure it wasn't the same 5 teas over and over again, and no, these were pretty rare. that to me, reinforces that hunch that says looking into these patterns was worth it.

therefore, it is in my very humble opinion that (in 3H's style), Gunter's favorite teas would be generally the fruitier-sweet flavored ones, plus cinnamon.

subjectively?

fucking hell i love this so much. omg.

it makes so much sense in hindsight; i mentioned before how FE has a lot of fun playing with the archetypes/subversions, and there's something kind of hilariously adorable about the old strict "traditional" masculine dude fucking loving his fruity teas :D;;

gunter's already (ime) an interesting case of wildly subverting his archetype expectations so this is just yet another fun super-stealth easter egg nod.

to that note---you know what that reminds me of? this meme (below) of the bodyguard and the chick swapping drinks so he can have the fruity one and she can have the beer. :D

...

absolutely hilarious fun bonus fact in hindsight:

i almost had this as a scene in the gunter x fcorrin slowburn fic a while back, (yes, seriously, even before this post) but it ultimately got cut out for being ever so slightly gimmicky/meme-y in tone versus the rest of the fic which is played more seriously.

... this would make for an A+ drawing shitpost or a standalone fic tho. :D

no i'm not secretly smug af my instincts were on fireeeee why r u asking lolololol

/fin!

platform of choice when gaming

not to be annoying but sony is the console manufacturer i prefer. in a perfect world sony would not be the best of the big three and would instead easily be the worst. but we live in a society that does not value men who. how does the full quote go idk it

2. top 5 games of all time

in ascending order: shin megami tensei: persona 3, sonic adventure 2: battle, fire emblem, phantasy star online: episode I and II plus, shin megami tensei: nocturne. the top 2 have been fairly set in stone for several years now, and the remaining 3 have fluctuated among the top 10 or so but this feels most correct. sad that the 6th place snub is FFXII 💔

3. favorite boss

NONE OF THEM!!!! #antiwork anyways i'm not sure what i would use as a criteria for this. i think i'm gonna go with the master from fallout because it really is just the most well done encounter in any RPG imo. if there's a "favorite final boss" question i'll kms because this would be my answer for that one.

4. favorite OST

here since i already answered this i'll just isolate some of my favorite tracks off the top of my head: "Dark Samus Boss Fight" - Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, "Miller Ball Breakers" - Jet Set Radio, "Kopfsprung" - Ever17, "You Blow My Mind" - Street Fighter III: Third Strike, "This is True Love Makin'" - Capcom vs. SNK 2, "Distant Travels" - Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, "Climbing to the Top" - Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, "Hoist the Sword with Pride in the Heart" - Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City, "Their Own Brand of Justice" - Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City (yes it gets two entries. fatlus, remember), "Demon of Darkness" - Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor, "Septentrione" - Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2, "Changing Seasons" - Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3, "Lovely Gate 3" - Sonic Adventure 2, and, if you've actually read this entire list, we must end with the classic "NO MORE NO MORE HEROES" - No More Heroes.

5. most memorable game moment

any time i see this prompt on asks like this my mind immediately and distinctly goes to one of the plot twists of zero time dilemma, specifically one regarding D team. i won't say what it is, but all i will say is that it had me going "SHUT THE FUCK UP. . . NO FUCKING WAY" for like 5 mins straight. the ending of drv3 is also up there on the same level of memorable.

6. first game you ever played

probably the original super mario bros. on NES at a family member's house. it's much harder to delineate what was the first game i meaningfully played on my own. i'm tempted to say something like mario kart 64.

7. most recent game you've played

trying to catch a calm lilleep from the dreamworld in white 2. before that, i was mat duping in PSO all of yesterday. i had 5 characters to do mat plans for, including TP materials (i got them with action replay. idgaf if you call that cheating because not having access to an entire material offline is stupid. 🤪). i had to stop at like 11:30 last night due to getting tired, but i only have like 400ish mats left to do, which is pretty decent all things considered.

8. most anticipated upcoming game

is "none of them" an answer? jkjkjkjkjk i wouldn't say i'm actively anticipating anything but i guess by default metaphor re:fantazio because i pre-ordered it and know nothing about it. i'm more interested in seeing what the fuck it's gonna be than i would say anything else. metroid prime 4 seems like an easy candidate for hype so i'm staying cautious. i never really wanted the prime trilogy to get a sequel and would've rather they just do their own thing like they did with dread. oh well.

Ah, yes, such beautiful, important to preserve values such as (checks notes) pissing on the poor

I love how Fernand thinks he’s in the right here, like just because I can only kind of trace his thought process. Fernand’s hatred for commoners is apparently so great that war sounds better than fighting under a “nobody” like Alm. Fighting for Rigel gives them absolute power, and the devastation that they have faced under Duma’s rule will affect the commoners, so it’s like… a long game of “this’ll show ‘em”. 

Like this isn’t so much a criticism of the game’s writing as it is Fernand as a person lol. Why are you like this, dude?

(Insert “why am I gasping I already knew that” meme here)

That would still make him his grandson, you punk ass bitch!! Adoption is still family!! Blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.

God Fernand, you would not survive FE: Fates

Because so many Fire Emblem characters are just like, ageless for the most part, I keep forgetting that much of the cast of Echoes is like 16-17. I think because Alm and Celica themselves have some air of maturity, it can kind of lose you, but once you see characters bickering amongst themselves or talking to the older figures, it really pops out. Honestly, I kinda like that. It speaks to the nature of having young people in war times. They’ve been forced to grow up faster because of it, but at heart they’re still kids.

Desaix wants Celica�� interesting. I mean, I figure it’s a claim to the throne thing, considering Desaix is a usurper. However, Celica’s position in all of this seems unusual. She knows she’s Lima’s daughter, but she despises him — yet it still begs the question of why she was sent away, and why she hasn’t gone back for her birthright. She is supposedly the only royal child who survived the fire that night. Hmm…

female character ask game: 1, 5, 6, 7!

(pertinent to this ask meme)

while I did just answer a 6 and a 7, there's always more female characters to talk about, I suppose! ... ever so unfortunately when it comes to 6!

#1 - One of your favourite female characters?

look at she on my pfp! (for the uninitiated, that's Delthea from Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia)

she's the cutest thing, and the funniest, and the most powerful, and but so many superlatives

#5 - A female villain you love?

there's usually not much good to be said about Mortal Kombat when it comes to female characters, or Mortal Kombat 11 in general, but one of the high points of that game was Kronika. as powerful and vicious and cool as any of 'em, while also sporting a strong, defined personality that also distinguishes her from the series's standard-faire conquerors and traitors -- no notes, really. ... well, besides that she's a symptom of the greater problem that it was dumb as hell to start doing Timeline Fuckery again just three titles into the new timeline

#6 - A female character who got done dirty by the narrative?

it's still wild to me how little it took for Lusamine from Pokémon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon to be transformed, from her original incarnation as a thorougly compelling villain, into the most incomprehensibly incoherent mess of a story that gets Ganon Hijacked by... necrozma?

like hell, they kept in the shocking reveal that she has a basement full of cryopreserved critters AND they made that location the part where the original dialogue abruptly branches away into being about "no mother stop sacrificing yourself to fight space beafts we all love you here". whose bright idea was that??

#7 - A female character the narrative wound up being much better to than you’d thought it would be?

low bar it is, but it still heartens me how Kaguya-Sama: Love is War in general manages to discuss sexuality a whole lot while seldom veering into schoolgirl fanservice territory. and this, considering it's seinen, too! everyone else's excuses run thinner yet by the day.
