#i liked Virion a lot

[krazieka2]

Fire Emblem Awakening Doodles and also Mozu doodles because I forgot she's from Fates oops

[poyopaan]

I had this idea while at work and needed to make it reality

[intertexts]

the question is who would it be in this scenario. obviously dakota's the one getting the shit beaten out of him. like that's a given. obviously my kneejerk instinct is the one hurting him is william, because i am fucking nothing if not a ghostkicks guy & i think i could swing it as some mal & s9 shit. but i think the better answer here is virion <3 he has enough dirty connections for this to he plausible. he is very good at hurting people. put him in a scenario where he has to feel like he's becoming his dad and he's absolutely overcome by horror and revulsion over how he's doing the exact same thing he watched his father do right neow!! he has his gloves and sleeves down but somehow he brushes against dakota's skin (on purpose because he fucking needs to know what he's doing and needs to feel it like he's punishing himself simultaneously and he's terrified of going too far?) (on accident and he's shaken by it and almost blows the whole thing?) & copies his pain-sense & they're both feeling the same thing & he's shaking but so so good at lying and moving through the pain and he has to be able to take it, if he's giving it. the whole time the memory of watching his father kill his team is running on loop in the back of his mind. he can barely talk for days afterwards. dakota is also fucked up about it but in more of a yeah the point of my whole everything is to be a punching bag for the greater good it's ok :( don't worry about it hey why are you upset about having to hurt me :( it's chill i prommy :( etc!

I went looking and couldn't find any record of me ever actually posting this on tumblr, oops, but a couple years back I wrote this thread on twitter about how Emmeryn's sacrifice absolutely is not supposed to teach Chrom (or Robin, for that matter) that "sacrifice is necessary" or anything like that and mmmm for reasons I am getting Upset about it again so asdfghjkl I'll actually share the Rant with my tumblr followers this time.

Hi i dunno if you accept requests but I'd love to see your take on Tharja! Nah :0

hiiiii! i actually do Not typically take requests unless i'm asking for them (like the farm sim palette reqs i'm taking rn), but tharja and nah ARE two of my favourite characters in the entire fe series so i took an exception just for this <3

here you go! one Tharja!Nah, just for you!

[sotiredmostnights]

i know everyone likes to put tharja in the "yandere goth girl" category but tbh i feel like pigeonholing her into one specific archetype does a huge disservice to her character. is she obsessed with curses and robin? yes. is she constantly shoved into a fanservice role by intsys? absolutely.

but i think a lot of people forget just how impactful a lot of her supports are...there's something about tharja that makes nearly everyone who interacts with her divulge their deepest secrets and points of anxiety with her. we see this with libra, who tells her of the abandonment he endured at the hands of his parents. we see it with nowi, whose cheerful demeanor slips off as she tells tharja of her missing parents. and although tharja is not the only one lon'qu confides in regarding ke'ri, their support is notably the only one in which lon'qu divulges that there was romantic involvement between he and his childhood friend.

and despite her antisocial exterior, she always listens mindfully and offers to help! she even goes out of her way to discreetly help the shepherds (getting virion to do odd jobs that benefit civilians, interrogating henry to make sure he bears no ill will towards ylisse, etc).

a big thing about tharja is that she IS kind. she IS considerate. she just also has a reputation to uphold as a dark mage and that (paired with her overall awkwardness ofc) makes her true nature hard to see at first glance

YEAAAAHHHH FUCK YEAH THIS GOES HARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! looove these designs so much u are so right about everything literally obsessed w/ the characterization in these armor/suit choices. wiwi blue fire motifs fuck yeah fuck yeah... i think maybe that's what his wisps or their equivalents manifest as. & the big loose body obscuring layers r so good.. VYNCENT!!!!! YEAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!! i also have been thinking about strategies for engaging him all day. really delighted w/ dakota looking like a brute that's really fucking funny 2 me for Reasons. he's gonna get fuckin tanked man. yeeowch. ashe... head in hands.

@intertexts im being haunted by pd parahumans au. officially

some Thoughts under the cut hehe

WILLIAM:

I like 2 think he wears a LOT of body armor especially if his power involves leaving his physical body vulnerable. i think he'd take every precaution possible to protect it w armor/the majority of his costume being darker in color. since his powers wouldn't require direct contact with other people PLUS he's really the only one on the team with close direct family members to protect with his identity, he'd keep the majority of his skin covered/concealed and use loose bulky clothes + the cape to change his silhouette. bold of him to have fire motifs in his costume design and not actually have fire based powers <3 I'm totally bullshitting the classification numbers but I think his breaker level would be higher than the master level since he doesn't always have the greatest control over the wisps (they do their own thing sometimes it's fine)

DAKOTA:

I REALLY like the idea that at first glance everyone EXPECTS him to be a brute. but hes not. he's just insane about martial arts training and has built up a lot of muscle because of it. has the least protective costume. VERY little armor on him, doesn't like the restriction/weight of armor. has a ton of scars from a combination of that lack of protective gear + putting himself in front of teammates in danger + the insane amount of training he does, basically pushes himself to the limit constantly. has a lot of big pockets in his pants, usually keeps things like extra bandages and snacks in them :] belt around his waist is like a karate black belt. doesn't wear shoes, keeps hands and feet bandaged basically at all times.

VYNCENT:

also keeps a lot of bare skin showing in costume, mostly on his arms in order to use his powers. has a lot of belts that look pretty useless/only for aesthetic reasons but uses them to hide a lot of little concealed weapons in case his powers backfire and he can't use them immediately. pretty well trained in melee combat. the most lax with his identity, but is still somewhat careful about it. the highest power rating on the team, but also the one with the least amount of control over his powers. it takes him a while to get used to using someone else's powers, so it's general knowledge among villains that you DONT want to fight him more than once in close succession (and if you do, to stall the fight/draw it out as long as possible because he can only use his powers in short bursts. gotta wear him out). he's the most comfortable with using williams and dakotas powers (and on rarer occasions, tide's) but still can't fully control them

SIDE NOTES:

- when asked who the leader of the team is, william will say it's dakota, dakota will say it's william. vyncent will say either of them depending on the day

- I like 2 think tide kind of takes the role of director piggot ? since she seems the most like their caretaker/mentor. except it's different with tide, he's a little more directly involved with them 1) because he genuinely cares about them and they care about him and 2) because he's also a cape, he can more directly kind of teach them the rules (?)

- ashe joins the team way later and there's a little but of strain because of it. this is mostly from william, who gets jealous easily and doesn't generally do well with new people (he defends himself by saying putting two masters on the team makes them unbalanced, really he's just a little jealous that ashe is master 8 and he's only master 5) HOWEVER. eventually they end up being the ones that hang out the most out of costume <3

- THINKINGGGGG A LOT. ABOUT HOW ASHE JOINS THEM BTW. I think I need 2 read more worm before I actually decide. learn how the prt responds to certain things. i.e. how does this kid with a villain dad end up on the wards (right now im considering a chariot situation where he originally joins as a mole . but then decides he likes them <3 this could also contribute to why william doesnt like him at firsr because hes the most likely to figure that out. )

- thinking a LOT about the leviathan fight. i don't exactly know how to put those thoughts into words rn but. tide gets OFFICIALLY sent to the leviathan fight bc of his water powers and i think maybe. they follow him when they're not supposed to. but then they get to stay because they're already there and the rest of the heroes are not gonna turn down more hands in the fight. (somewhat similar to the meatball planet situation)

- extreme ghostkicks codependency. that is all

whatever. go my scarab.

[ramonag-if]

Kinda love the idea of Virion unironically being one of the best suited to raise MC - at least in their younger years. I assume things get a bit messier as the politics do, especially if/when he does become king and his choice of heir becomes a legitimate factor given MC's heritage.

Speaking of, in that AU, how does Virion go about seeking the throne? Is Erlan still poisoned and by the same person (not sure what the spoiler rules are for this blog vs the patreon ^^;) or do things play out differently?

Also given Virion's...machinations in Vinia, is there any chance of MC meeting their extended family in this AU? Or is that bridge more or less burnt with Salyra's death?

I seriously love Virion as a character 😅 It's really a shame he doesn't feature more in the game because he's so fun and villainous that it's hard not to love him.

With heirs, there's no need for bloodlines etc and Virion's ancestors (Erlan and Irus' too) were once rulers from Ishari. Virion doesn't care for the war, he thinks Erlan trying to take control of Ishari because of a broken betrothal is stupid and a waste of resources. So like how he appointed Morden (an Ishari-born man) as the new general of the Blood Guard, he'd likewise name the MC his heir and anyone who disobeys will feel the full might of his displeasure.

Virion would try to get the throne through subterfuge, political scheming and by undermining Erlan's reign. Erlan is not a natural fighter nor is he particularly good at swordsmanship. But Virion is and that's why he has respect in the Blood Guard - he trained alongside them and has made friends with the senior soldiers and recruits so if anything, Virion wouldn't need poison, he'd just stage a coup. It's similar to how he exiled Irus in the main plot. With Erlan dead and a young, inexperienced prince at the helm, Virion convinced the nobles he'd be a better ruler.

The MC would probably learn about their extended family from Virion. He has spies everywhere, but he would have known a lot about Vinia on account of Elora's father's assassination. Once he discovers the MC's family, he'd go back and forth on telling the MC but would eventually tell the MC because despite his machinations for the throne, he does genuinely care about the MC in the AU story.

[real-fire-emblem-takes]

I think virion is one of awakening’s best characters by far and it’s frustrating how fans of the game have historically treated him. i don’t mean the askers here keep posting about wanting to rail the french out of him or whatever your heart desires i mean how throughout much of awakening fandom he was treated like a horribly repulsive character. he was constantly looked down upon and shittalked and it’s incredibly frustrating trying to look at content of him and stumbling across that all over again because he’s a very fascinating guy if you just dig into him a little bit!

Like a lot of his flirty personality (while some of it is simply just him being genuinely flirtatious) exists for the sake of trying to make connections. He’s a duke who purposely sabotaged his relationship with his people so they would stop trying to die for him because of how loyal they were to him and now he needs new allies. It’s honestly probably entirely why he followed Sully in Ch1 — because he recognized her as a knight of Ylisse & knew if he went after her he’d have an in with the crown. He has countless trysts for the sake of making connections, which he’s successful at. He’s an excellent strategist whose strategies are far too high risk to actually put into practice and he’s aware of it. He should have been a bigger part of the Valm arc. He’s the fatherest of fathers. He sold off a family heirloom, one of the last things he had left of House Virion, to buy medicine for an old couple for Libra. Etc. Virion probably isn’t even his name because of how Cherche introduces him as “Duke Virion,” like it’s his house name instead.

He’s just such a good character and honestly one of Awakening’s best-written when you dig into him a little bit and I wish people talked about him generally more favorably

ROSWELL SOLLUX INTERTEXTS MY FRIAAAAND <3

3. What work are you most proud of (regardless of kudos/hits)?

OUGHH REALLY HARD QUESTION. gaghh. i think my two favourites are brutal and my which prime defender are you quiz!!! brutal was just so fun to write i love when winters family torment nexus!!!! and the quiz because i knew exactly what the reception to it would be (oh silly fun quiz!! yay--oh. Oh No) and i was very correct and it was very fun to see people cursing my name in the feedback question. the quiz was definitely the funnest one to put together!!!! i should do more experimental stuff like that :3 very fun

27. What do you listen to while writing?

GOD i have like five million playlists i cycle through depending on my mood. i have like a playlist of party/sex/etc. songs, another simply called ⚔️BADASS SHIT⚔️ (yes sword emojis included) that i named years ago and don't have the heart to change the name of, one with songs that provide me with serotonin, etc. however i think my favourite playlist is gay fuck jazz (name courtesy of my brother who once described will wood's music as gay fuck jazz and it hasn't left my brain since) gay fuck jazz is usually my default!!!

29. Favorite line/passage you wrote this year?

URGHGHGH. I DONT KNOW. THERE R SO MANY GOOD ONES. hmmm lemme think. ohhgh this one from shotgun <3 w vyncent cleaning off the. shotgun

"The shotgun is easier to clean off. Vyncent scrubs the butt of it with a handful of wipes, and they come away dark red, leaving the shotgun sparkling clean.

He lifts it from between his legs and holds it across his lap, just looking at the thing. A shotgun is different from an axe or even a chainsaw. It’s a lot more... removed. Distant. He’s never liked guns all that much. He doesn’t know how Ram uses them.

Hesitantly, he turns it over, and with hands that do not shake, shut up Jason, get back from the front you shouldn’t be here fuck off!!! he lifts it and places his hands where William’s would rest. Will’s left handed, so it feels kind of weird, but Vyncent’s been trained to fight with either hand, so although it’s different he can more or less comfortably hold the shotgun the way Will would, placing his palms over the places he’s seen Will hold it by, curling one finger around the trigger, the other hand gripping the fore-end. He wedges the butt into his shoulder, lifting the stock to rest against his cheek. He looks down the barrel, where it’s pointed at one of the windows.

He shouldn’t load it, shouldn’t cock it, shouldn’t even rest his finger on the fucking trigger, because if he misfires this thing a bullet could rocket out of the Winnebago and hit some poor old lady driving in her Prius, or a random animal on the side of the road, and he doesn’t want to see a splatter of blood on the highway.

It feels. Weird. Holding this. Having some machine with a dozen movable parts in his hands, something capable of rocketing a piece of lead out the other end fast enough to reduce a person’s head to smithereens with just a simple press of a single switch.

His finger twitches against the trigger. His hands are shaking.

He really doesn’t like guns."

LONG PASSAGE I KNOW I KNOW BUT. IM REALLY NORMAL ABOUT VYNCENT AND GUNS. god. sorry now im just thinking about nhw virion and his fucking guns i need to be put down like a rabid dog
