Finally got round to doodling some of the Heartless crew again - been juggling some very intensive work and life stuff lately so it was therapeutic to get lost for a lil' while drawing this one. (Thanks again to everybody who voted in those polls a bit ago - The results were very interesting so I'm looking forward to drawing more of the most-voted characters sometime soon)

@until-lune

Hello! Again i am using this one form of reply bc its easier for format! If you prefer i change for reply format it let me know!. Putting under read more bc this got long, but i had lots of fun doing it!. I am answering all your replies here!

M!Corrin-wise -  I dont think Omega Yato will be his weapon, because the refined version of his OG version (normal M!Corrin in the red pool) already has it. While his art has his normal weapon, his sprite has Omega Yato.

Dawn Yato is definitely a possibility tho! although it would be very odd to give it to him and not make its Twin/Mirror Weapon Dusk Yato to CQ!themed!L!F!Corrin.(but hey its IS)

(something i am so salty off bc i love Dawn and Dusk Yatos ;-; they are so pretty and match so well their promotions... and games... heck!! they both have their route-represent Legendary weapons features incorpored on them and just *clenches fist at the emotional moments*)

Also, A re-colored dragon alt is also a possibility, since L!F!Corn did that.

I dont think skipping the Staff is a certainty because IS has made weird choices before. Leif has an Bow which is a weird choice for him, but, like Corrin, he has a A Rank in bows in his promoted class, and like Corrin he is an “unpopular” Lord. Chrom and Lucina have Bows, when they also had Lances as options by promotion class.

I dont think popularity certainly incentivizes diversity in weapon usage. because we have had a lot of Weird choices from IS of making a popular character have the same weapon across multiple alts. -> 3H lords, Ike, Eirika and Ephraim had all a repeat of their OG weapons and are far more or just as popular as Micaiah; and even weirder L!F!Corrin, who by CYL and Nintendo magazine poll is more popular then M!Corrin,  has the same weapon type than her fallen version (and still lacks a red alt for her emblem AND had an iconic red weapon associated with her promotion of DarkBlood/Nohr Noble (Dusk Yato)). Also fun fact, F!Corrin counterpart to M!Corrin Staff Rank is a Tome Rank. So it would also be possible for her to have had an red tome alt.

conclusion regarding weapons: IS pretty much spins a Wheel and decides what to do. I think its pretty much a case of...whatever the executives woke up on that day wanting.

(that, of course, doesnt make theorizing what weapon they will have  any less fun xD)

Honestly the only reason why I am certain it is Micaiah is irrational/a F2P technique. In  that if it is not her, it will destroy my will to summon and thus allow me to spend less XD. I have seen people doing it and boy does it works wonders when you arent right.

Going by that (my theory it is Micaiah) I find it unlikely to be Colorless (and thus Staff or colorless tome) only because the other spreads are just That Good^tm.

One of the methods that people used to guess which color the new Leg/Mythic will be is to see which color has a busted spread of colors. And it has been right ever since Edelgard

(The reason for so is that IS seems to have realized that by debutting the hero on a so-so spread, it made people wait for their rerun in order to get them, Bramimond being an example in that his spread was awful (L!Grima) and his rerun spread was godsmacking good (Mila)... pun not intended)

The colorless this time is rather...i wouldnt say weak, because Eir usability is REALLy good and Duma has a nice niche of wrecking people plans(cackles in my AR matches). However, they are fairly outdated in comparation with the other color spreads. So, in the event this leg hero is Micaiah (or Elincia, or Byleth) i dont think they would be colorless because of that.

Oh! Regarding the CYL theory, since the legendaries were introduced in the second year of FEH, I dont consider much broken, since i merely think its always /A/ winner instead of the 1st of each year. Since shuffling of legendaries is possible, (those times when IS changed the calendar lineup), should the Byleths win CYL(which is fairly likely). it would be easy to put them on the next GW. And I also think it will be a theory that will be broken absolutely next year, since I doubt Marianne and Gatekeeper would be viable L!Heroes. I agree with you that is a weak pattern that is likely to be broken.

Counterpoint to Wind F!Byleth ->  Blessings not always end up being the element that is most associated with the Character in the main game. Highly Water themed (and midly Fire themed;) Corrin ended up as Wind; Julia, who has Minor blood of fire and was called “Genealogy’s Fire Emblem sword” was Earth; Eliwood, wielding the fire themed Durandal, was Wind. (tbf this is also a counterpoint to Wind Micaiah, since she has more association with Light and maybe Fire(?) than Wind)

Regarding 3H launching with 3H, besides Edelgard, Claude also debuted with no 3H legendary accompanying him. Annete was there, but other than that, no other 3H unit or legendary was on the banner. In fact, the pattern i do see with 3H legendaries is that their first re-run matches with a release of a Mythic in their color spread. (Edelgard -> Hel ; Dimitri -> Seiros).

I want to highlight that i am not saying it wont happen, but that I lean more towards they keeping a space between 3H legendaries release, in order to long term profits, and to not cause burn-out of 3H content. (or at least decrease people complaining about it; They seem to have learned their lesson with the Fates and Tellius spams.)

Finally,I do think that it is possible for Micaiah to be a Staff and for other characters to be released in this month/banner, mostly it is the premises i chose to apply to this theorizing lead me in a contrary direction xD. You show some good points! (I would love a Dawn Yato Corn and a Staff Micaiah ;-;...)

Extra Tangent: I have absolutely no idea what IS(executives) considers the character is associated with Silver Snow like...

For one side, Seteth makes lip service saying the route lord is Rhea; Rhea presents the choice mirror to Edelgard’s in the route split; the ending cutscene focuses on Rhea character development/closure, but, at the same time, she is Sir Not Appearing for 75% of the route and the rest of the time she is benched.

For another side, Byleth was made to be the lord to Edelgard emperor’s and her rival; has several cutscenes showcasing that; is the “lord” of the route in role sense, but, on the other hand, its more associated with Fire (fire emblem).

Honestly at this point i just dont know what FEH is going to do with them. I think IS is going to make one of Byleth Wind as you said and the other Fire, but which one, i have no idea. I could see too an argument for Ground(since i think at the lack of an Light element for Light element character-focused they pick ground sometimes) too, but yeah. 

I cant believe the true plot twist of GW is gonna be Rhea being the wind legendary breaking all of our theories xD (/j, but can you imagine how funny it would be?)

Summary of the Scramble So Far

Everyone

Everyone!!

As I sit here feeling a need to even hold this little briefing, I can’t help but express how truly incredible response has been from this vacation crowd, and how humbled we are as mods right now. That Reflet, Laslow, and I have needed to do more as moderators than to make a bulletin of a scramble week agenda and then poke around with some behind the scenes stuff until it started is incredible and all thanks to YOUR excitement and participation! 

This has come so far from what, I can only imagine, was the single list of conversation starters and maybe one main event Mod Reflet probably had in mind when they came up with this idea! From expanding the event list, to hearing people talk about their own ideas and trying to accommodate them - I’ve been quite impressed. We are enjoying ourselves and crying like big old saps as much as I hope everyone else is with all the hype and now pre-event happenings! We’re so happy to be here sharing with and meeting all of you ♡

So, first of all,

NO ONE HAS MISSED THEIR CHANCE AT JOINING IN ON ANYTHING YET. 

WE HAVE STARTED ORGANIZING EARLY DUE TO IMMEDIATE AND OVERWHELMING RESPONSE, AND TO ADDRESS SOME CONFUSION OF IDEAS ALREADY STARTING IN THE TAG WITHOUT US, BUT NO PARTICIPATION OR MATCHING EVENTS HAVE BEEN CLOSED FOR GOOD,  AND WILL NOT BE UNTIL AFTER THE SCRAMBLE HAS STARTED.  

We understand the main event isn’t even here, so it’s hardly fair to cut people off. We’re doing our best to accommodate demand, but we need time to fulfill current promises and figure out how to handle more. Gracious... we honestly didn’t expect participation to hit our numbers at all, let alone fill up so fast, or we would not have done much of this so soon!

As you can imagine, I, personally, hate to admit a fault of not being able to predict this, but... ahem... that said, for those who might be just hearing about our vacation spree, or feeling a little lost in the updates, I’d like to let everyone know what’s currently happening and what to expect over the weekend and next week as far as the pre-events which have arisen, and how you can still jump in! 

Once again, there are no requirements for participating in the overall event besides using the tag, however, there are some special events requiring pre-registration, teams, or interest checks, and those items will be re-opening to accept more people closer to the start of the event week.

PRE-EVENTS:

A Tour of the Hotrealm Resort!

** Check out the beautiful beaches and cabanas! And I do believe further information about the rest of the resort ground will be posted as soon as Reflet finishes his next walk around...

Roommate Liaison Service

** The previous assignment has been posted! We hope you’re meeting and having fun with your roomies! We also apologize if you missed being part of this group. It was meant to be a quick help to those who were talking about it in the tag at the time - we yet again had no idea interest would extend further than that. However:

** Sign-ups for the next assignment on June 24th are open! (Some people were still liking the original post after the first assignment was already made. We have not been tracking those. If you are not on the assignment list linked in the previous bullet point, then please respond to the new post linked here (or in the topic header) to be included!)

** Roommates are not required for any part of the event! This is a participant-driven idea for fun and to help people meet. We are simply doing our best to help facilitate. You don’t need our approval if you want to bunk up with anyone by your own choice, either!

IN THE WORKS:

Movie Night Suggestions

** Reply to the post linked above with summer fun themed movie suggestions for streaming on Friday the 30th! Closer to that date, appropriate suggestions will be entered into a poll for voting on which one we actually watch. 

Players Wanted for the Volleyball Tournament!

** The first Captain spots for the volleyball tournament went fast, and teams are still recruiting! If you are interested in signing up for a slot in the hunger-games style tournament simulation, please contact one of the following captains! More details can be found here. Captains must have at least one new connection and one character from another realm, and we encourage them to seek out OCs. We also encourage OCs to approach these captains if they would like a spot! The tag sea sky and sun ;; summer scramble ;; volleyball scramble may be used to post for interest and recruitment.

Team Smash Brothers (Ike)

** If these teams fill up, we will open up space for at least a couple more once scramble week begins. The next window will be for full team submissions rather than captain spots, so you might want to start preparing if you’re interested in your own team!

** Er... by the way, we seemed to have failed to mention before that THERE WILL BE PRIZES.  We haven’t decided the final details yet (some may remain a surprise!), but this does include those special treats Laslow mentioned, as participation prizes from us to you over the course of the event, and of course there will be a little something for the victorious team! You can expect things like edits, drabbles, or sketches done by the mods. We’ll keep you updated!

Start Thinking Up Some Scary Stories!

** A post with complete rules will be coming very soon, but get those plot bunnies jumping! Original, in-character scary stories can be submitted to us and will be posted anonymously on the night of the bonfire. Then, everyone can vote for their favorite! MORE PRIZES,TBA. At least top prize will be a little more substantial, we acknowledge that this contest takes a higher level of effort!

EVENT WEEK:

The Official Schedule of Events for June 25th - July 1st!

** What a packed agenda! Many details regarding how to interact with these events are part of the brochure, and more will be announced as we get closer to vacation time!

Summer Scramble Rules

** Please abide by them!

Vendor Booths for the Boardwalk! (Still accepting applications!)

** We’ve got a great lineup of goodies and services, so try to stop by and see everyone for window shopping, and plan your budget now!! Hmm... how to chose...

Princess Clara’s Fishing Fiesta!!! L&F’s Lovely Fashion Odin Dark’s Fated Hero Baubles Claire’s Art Sketches Anna’s Beachfront Survival Shop Tharja and Noire’s Beach Black Magic Vlad’s Fortunes Kiria’s Karaoke Saizo the Fifth’s Firework Stand Yukimura’s Automatons Yuki and Yuka’s Curry Stand Crown Prince Xander and Kaze’s Compliment Booth for Charity Elise’s Oopsie Daisy Flower Stand Veles’ Frills and Lace Textile Workshop Mae’s Light ‘em Up Emporium Basilio’s Beach Toss

Coming soon! Mitama’s Souvenirs and Blessings Rennac's Paradise Smooching Shack 

Phew...! I hope that catches everyone up and soothes some worries as best possible with what manged to get... a little away from us. With information and anticipation out there now, we mods may (or may not) be a bit more quiet throughout this week as we organize what we have, prepare posts for the event week proper, and keep running or re-open these sign-ups - letting them run their rightful course of allowing people to gather until the vacation truly begins this time!

Please look forward to it, and keep the hype going!
