my 1970/80s celebrities face claims for the marauders era characters
James Potter
listen this one is gonna sound hilarious but HEAR ME OUT THO jfk jr. like look at the hair and tell me u don’t see it even a little bit, i do kinda have a fc for a desi!james but it’s 100% based on me falling in love with an actors smile and im not sold on the hair (look up young akshay kumar if you’re curious)
Sirius Black
there are a few choices Steve Tyler, Mick Jagger or Keith Richards and while i do love all of them and have a soft spot for mick jagger i have been leaning towards Keith a bit more lately
Remus Lupin
i love thinking about the bowie vibes remus gave off but LISTEN: IAN CURTIS
Peter Pettigrew
i don’t have much to say about this one i just looked at paul young and it felt right peter 100% would style his hair like that idk what to tell u
Lily Evans
jane seymour u are lily to me, u don’t understand that’s how i picture lily i don’t care that her hair is not reallyyyy red that’s literally the lily i saw in my head when i read the books
Marlene Mckinnon
this one was just too easy marlene mckinnon u just are debbie harry to me
Dorcas Meadowes
if marlene was the easiest dorcas was the hardest NO ONE looks like dorcas to me, the only person who comes close is chaka khan because of her smile
Mary MacDonald
i wanted put diahann carroll as mary so bad (because im a little bit obsessed with her) but i already feel like im cheating putting ppl born in the 40s lol, this is brenda sykes and i thing she has the same something in her eyes idk that young diahann has that reminds me of mary
Emmeline Vance
much like jane seymour is lily evans, rekha just is emmeline vance to me idk what to tell you
Frank Longbottom
i don’t even think frank smoked or had a cool look but this specific picture of Joe Strummer grabbed me by the neck and said i am frank longbottom and i had no choice but to agree
you know how i said Dorcas was the hardest? i lied, i have no idea who Alice, Snape or Regulus would be/look like
#can u tell i like classic rock?#this is also known as if i wasn’t shit at drawing this would be some of my references#marauders#james potter#sirius black#remus lupin#lily evans#marlene mckinnon#dorcas meadowes#peter pettigrew#frank longbottom#emmeline vance#mary macdonald#mwpp#1970s#dead gay wizards#period accurate marauders

I had a dream about very specific creek plushies- and I gotta vent it cuz I haven't stopped thinking of it.
But basically Craig was in his normal outfit, but he was on skis and was reaching over to help steady Tweek. Tweek, for some reason, was in a pink beanie and a matching coat with his arms spread out to steady himself and his expression kinda similar to the vibrating Tweek plushie, also on skis. And he had cute freckles. For reference, they looked like their normal SP selves, not some anime-esque style. I also think they were on some little makeshift slope-.
Idk why, but in the dream they were being sold in the back of some retro game shop and the guy was like "I dunno, I'll sell em $100 a piece" and dream me was like "oh wooooow! I gotta have them". And then, I woke up but I haven't stopped thinking of them and I'm so sad they aren't real.
Im just thinking of Tweeks cute face and Craig helping to steady him and I sob!
#sp creek#tweek tweak#craig tucker#south park#i legit havent stopped thinking of them#i was half delirious and sent a voice message immediate to my gf about it#because im fucking insane#and just love them so bad#also the fact i was so ready to drop $200 on plushies was so real of me

last song: its nothing but covers of 'she dont use jelly' today im afraid
current book stack: as always, only getting worse! All of the books i'm juggling atm are unfortunately podcast motivated.. 😔 shelved by genre is doing earth.sea, which im not 100% sold on. I cant decide if that's bc its a kids book, or if its that i dont actually like ukg's writing style! 99pi, a show i dont listen to, is also doing a bookclub of the power broker w tfh's very own elliott kalan, so i WILL be starting that i think
i'm also reading the big nowhere! which is pure schlock, but mostly rips along
last film: i saw the holdovers yesterday!! which was so good, really funny & touching - otherwise i have SO slowly been trying to watch for all mankind ( ;0 ), but as cool as the footage is, if i see more than 3 frames i immediately become so tired
last show: probs still ntbts... i rewatched some of the webseries last week, and i think that finale ep is truly insanely good. tbfh, more than the movie i want them to release commentary tracks for the vice show so badly, rip
current obsession: its subtle, but honestly probs still operation avalanche! i've been thinking a lot about it anyway, so im watching stuff that influenced it (possibly 'for all mankind'!, definitely stone's JFK!), but i also keep running into adjacent works, or stuff that makes me think of it. i listened to an SFultra ep this week that was all about a guy who wrote a book about murderous moonlanding conspiracies, as well as jfk recreation obsessions (big nowhere's ellroy is also SO tapped into all that bs lol)

is splatoon dlc worth it? and your thoughts on it so far?
gonna avoid spoilers at all costs besides basic game mechanics:
i was initially really disappointed with how short the story is, if youre any good at the game you can get it done in 2-3 hours. while im not entirely sold on the roguelite style game yet because it really does just feel like youre going and doing the same levels over and over again with different weapons
on the positive side its gorgeous, the music is great, the bosses are fleshed out, the ability to get a replica of your favorite weapon is nice, and the mechanic of the chips to make it so that you can alter your play each run keeps it somewhat fresh
overall its fun, i can see playing it for a while at this point and its a good addition to the game. in the end its really just Fine. not in a bad way but its not octo expansion good. but im still going to try and 100% it
in the end its $25 extra on a $60 game so its not that steep so i would recommend it if you like to challenge yourself with different weapons

zero escape fan here:
if you want to play it yourself, i recommend playing 999 first on an emulator and using the ds version. 999 has a remaster that is sold with vlr and cant be bought seperately, so i like to think of it as a sort of "test run", and then you can get vlr on steam or whatever.
additionally, in the remaster they screw with the writing a bit? like, they change it from 2 screens at once to 2 screens you have to toggle. a LOT of letsplayers play on adventure mode, which ONLY has them talking and none of the important details present, so they have to make characters point out the obvious and it just sorta ruins the flow. if they play novel mode [which has both dialouge and the narration], it comes off as just constantly repeating itself. the worst part is that youll most likely have to look for playthroughs that are almost a decade old if you want to watch the original ds version as a playthrough— so i think its best to play that one yourself.
vlr and ztd dont have these issues, however, so feel free to watch those as playthroughs :) im new to your blog, so i dont know where you stand on the "ill only buy a game if i REALLY wanna play it and ill usually just watch a playthrough" to "if im interested in a game, ill buy it myself and play it and use letsplayers for recommendations" scale, but it seems like youre on the "only buy if necessary" end from what ive seen so far. im just trying to give advice :)
[and if youre iffy about emulating or dont want to "pirate" a game, nintendo has stopped production of this game and the consoles it plays on, so this is the only way to play this game unless you want to shell out at least 800 bucks for a new ds/3ds and a legit cartridge. the remaster takes 999 from what id call a masterpiece to just a good game, and ive played through both versions of the game 100% and the remaster got me LAUGHING in serious situations just because of the writing. the ds version is definitely the way to go for a first playthrough, at least in my opinion.]
anyways, from one zero escape fan to hopefully another one in the future, i hope you enjoy! play/watch a letsplay however you want, this is just one stranger's suggestion. having fun is the important part, and if you want any clarification tell me and ill send in another ask 👍
Thanks very much for the advice! And yeah, you've absolutely hit the nail on the head with the ''only buy if necessary'' XD I don't exactly come from a place with the income buy video games or the consoles needed to play them myself so easily, so Let's Plays it is! Which isn't too bad since I really like reacting to the game along with others, so I guess there's a silver lining there. Although I did hear about some issues with 999. Something about being sorta lost in translation too? NicoB's videos are exactly a decade old and the original ds version if memory serves, so I should be in clear with most of these issues. Good to know that the other two games are free to watch without difficulty at least.
I'm currently at the point where Akane and Junpei are investigating door 4 (with Lotus and Santa) and it's definitely super engaging at the moment. The investigation style really reminds me of DRA2 chapter 4's one, which was my absolute favourite investigation in the entire series (along with V3 chapter 4), so I'm super excited to see more of it! I love how the characters bounce off each other so well. I LIVE for Snake's snark and Akane's nerdiness, they're so lovely. And Nico's commentary during the more serious situations had me CACKLING so bad, especially how dirty he does the 9th dude every time it's amazing.
Stranger's suggestion or not, I very much appreciate the sentiment! I definitely feel like this will be a game I'll be stuck with for a while, but if it's already this fun now I think I'll be happy to stay ^-^ I'll be sure to keep this in mind! From one potential Zero Escape Fan to an already one, thanks and take care 👍

four albums I’ve been listening to recently!
Thank you @petrichoraline for tagging me! Musical tag games really are my favorites, I'll talk non-stop about songs if I'm not careful lmao
I have some downloaded albums that I end up listening to again and again while driving, so my repeats are less "my latest choices" and more "I'd inject this shit directly into my bloodstream if I could", but I'll try to think of what's been on my mind lately.
In Case I Die, by Will Wood (2023)
I really love Will Wood's lyrics, but his musical style earlier in his career is kind of hit or miss for me personally. Now, his live performances in this latest album are just incredible. He really put all of his emotions into each song, and the acoustic aspect of it all hits me in a completely different way. This shit got me writing poems, literally.
Earth Trip, by Rose City Band (2021)
Listen, im 23 but my musical taste is 100% that of a middle-aged dad. I discovered this band recently and it's so good!! Their work is a bit bluegrass, a bit Americana; and this album specifically just makes me think of the late 60s- which, in my opinion, is a compliment. Anyone who likes stuff like The Grateful Dead, Bread, America, The Doobie Brothers, and even Dave Matthews and Jimmy Buffet should absolutely check it out.
Drink From The Creek, by Joshua Bond (2021)
I found Joshua on tiktok, a surprisingly good tool to discover amazingly talented indie artists, and holy shit is this guy talented. I'm not kidding one bit when I say that this is one of the greatest songwriters of this generation, and it's a shame that his work isn't being praised at all the corners of the globe. He's a folk singer, but one of the best out there, and this album hits me so hard as somebody who's the same age as he is- born in the year 2000, just in time to watch as the world collapses.
The Man Who Sold the World, by David Bowie (1970)
I warned you about my music taste OK. This isn't my favorite of Bowie's albums, but I do think it's incredibly underrated, and it holds a special place in my heart- especially the second track, All the Madmen, which is one of the reasons why I ended up studying Psychology. I've been listening to this one on repeat since I recommended one of its songs to @bingobongobonko , who can consider himself tagged on this game. Gimme all the albums my man
I'm also gonna tag @sybilius @rainyrainbow999 @falling-hand-in-unlovable-hand and @morgannalefey . Please feel free to ignore it, but also I'd love to give your latest albums a listen
#tag game#i love these things but if i tagged anyone who doesnt like being tagged please let me know!#also if i didnt tag you but were mutuals be sure that id love to see your replies too

what was your tumblr like when you first joined?
I've been a tumblerina for a while now. Since 11? Then in college I moved to an RP blog, with my main, and a LarryStylinson blog. Had that until mid2013 when Lance and I went to a different South Park RP, along with my main &Larry. Once we broke into Indie RP I created a few more South Park RP blogs, then once Lance passed I slowly stopped using the RP account we associated with each other. Made my HP RP in 2014 after SP shit was getting too cliquey, then just kind of sidebloged all my blogs from there for being lazy. Reattempts at SP RP had attempts, but nothing beats 2013 so -shrug- Nothing will ever beat 2012-13 where the community was there, Gallaclub is the only thing coming close <3

do you have a water bottle? what does it look like?
I've got a cup i bring to work that's Disney 100 and it changes color from blue to purple in the cold. It usually has mountain dew in it. Also I have a REAL waterbottle and its got Shibas on it and counts the level of water to 2 liters. But I hoard cups, always getting souvieneer cups bc im that person.
what fanfic trope is a quiet fave?
Found family is a quiet fav, and sometimes fluff. But mostly I want angst, I want plot.
do you carry a daily bag? what does it look like? what's the weirdest thing in it?
So I carry a bag for work, which has headphones, wallet, work badge, phone, some tangles, squishy giraffe, pens, 2 books: one notebook thing and Heartstopper Volume 4 is in it, and random junk that really needs to be removed lol. Outside of work I just wallet phone the end.
if you had to ship Mickey with another Gallagher, who would it be?
Hmmm maybe Lip? Or Carl would be funny too, but the Lip and Mickey enemes would be funny.
what is a fanfic trope you didn't expect to like and then very much did?
Hmmm. I dunno. AU's maybe?
Do you think s11 Mickey can still carry s11 Ian?
Yeah, if he tries to|has too. But it's very awkward and Ian gets a kick out of him trying.
who got custody of the killing bat when they sold the house?
The OG? Probably Carl. But they all get a killing bat as a housewarming gift for the nostalia. Every house gets a Gallagher killing bat, even Fiona's house in Florida.
I'm a day late so tagging everyone else.

My ACOTAR OC’s as Taylor Swift Albums
i honestly don’t know why i hadn’t done this before
MAREENA
A Court of Gods and Monsters
Folklore
i was a bit conflicted with my girl at first bcos i feel she could perfectly be a lover girl, but also a Taylor Swift girl, or maybe even 1989, like my girl is versatile yk
but i think this is me trying was what really sold it for me, especially for the mareena i have planned in the future
also peace and epiphany, i just really could picture her u know
KALLISTRADE
Dark Tides
Reputation
“there will be no explanations there will just be reputation” something that kallistrade would 100% say
PLS THIS ONE WAS THE MOST OBVIOUS
literally EVERY SINGLE SONG fits her
‘im sorry, the old taylor (kallistrade) can’t come to the phone right now. why? oh, CAUSE SHE’S DEAD
do i need to say more? like…
…ready for it? king of my heart EVEN GETAWAY CAR are so kallistrade and azriel coded
DEMETRIA
Cold Starlights
1989
this one was HARD
i also kind of saw her as a midnights girl, but after hearing all the songs in this album again i was convinced
bad blood definitely gives me demetria at the spring court vibes
wildest dreams is what i pictured playing in the scene where demetria and nyx are staring at the northern lights
also i wish you would, wonderland and style are veeeery demetria and nyx coded
ARIADNE
Legend of a Mortal Love
Midnights
omg ‘you’re on your own, kid’? HEARTBROKEN
karma truly is her boyfriend
she roots for the anti-hero u know what i mean?
maroon and snow on the beach gives me such sweet rhys and ariadne vibes
the GREATH WAR AND BIGGER THAN THE WHOLE SKY GOT ME CRYING THINKING ABOUT THEM
and, of-fucking-course ‘DO I REALLY HAVE TO CHARM THE CONSTELLATIONS IN HIS EYES’

Now that I showed how my characters look in SC, how about their fighting styles and how I picked them? It was no less interesting than putting together outfits, I promise (maybe).
For some time I had no idea what these fighting styles were, so I simply chose them for my characters based on weapons and vibes. This game is set in a completely different time and place, so no lightsabers and barely even guns, plus every fighting style is using some type of melee weapons (so tech classes aren't lucky).
Important thing - all the fighting styles are made for the Soul Calibur characters (and some guest characters, like Geralt), there aren't any universal styles that aren't based on an existing character. Considering that I knew nothing about SC characters, I kinda had to guess what style to pick. Of course, every fighting style has a description to help you chose, but ultimately, it's better to test it in a fight.
Sometimes I managed to pick a style perfectly on the first try, and sometimes it took many tests to settle on something. I'll start with characters that were an immediate success.
(fighting styles are named after SC characters that they are designed for)
Shailla (Jedi shadow) - Kilik (heh, took me a while to get used to his name, coming from SWTOR)
That was a quick choice - the style is described as defensive, it utilizes a staff, which is close enough. I would say there are 4 styles that kinda resemble a double-bladed lightsaber, and this one fits Shailla the most. First, it's more of a defensive side, as mentioned before. Second - staff is less lethal than a blade or a scythe, which corresponds with how Shailla usually approaches fights - raise the weapon only for defense, aim to disarm the opponent, not for the kill. Of course, the movements with a staff aren't 100% the same as with a double-bladed lightsaber, but hey, different setting and all.
Imely (Sith assassin) - Zasalamel
Another pretty much perfect choice. Weapon that kinda resembles a double-bladed lightsaber and some purple magic going on - seriously, it's great (although I'd say that scythe is the least resembling of the double lightsaber out of the 4 weapons). The attacks feel powerful while the movement is kept relatively simple, which is fitting, considering that Imely had less time to master the lightsaber (sith inquisitors in general had less time learning the dueling bc of their background as a slave, compared to other Force sensitive characters).
I might've picked a different style before choosing this one, but I kinda don't remember if I did (my memory isn't very nice to me). But if it happened, it was probably Grøh because it resembles the double-bladed lightsaber the most, just the style didn't fit well with Imely, so I switched to Zasalamel and had no regrets. (It also kicks ass, very enjoyable to play)
Kerstes (Sith juggernaut) - Nightmare
Well, simply based on the weapon. After all, in SWTOR Kerstes prefers a big sword to a lightsaber, so the moment I saw the weapon this style utilizes, I picked it.
Overall it's a good match.
Airistan (Jedi guardian) - Mitsurugi
Initially I chose Haohmaru and played with this style for a while, but later decided to try Mitsurugi, and it felt slightly more fitting.
These styles are somewhat similar (using one blade (both use katana, but as soul of Mitsurugi you can choose a different looking blade), some movements having similar animations, hell even the characters are kinda similar looking (they even have some jokes about in the game)). Both styles feel powerful, and the movement of both are a good fit for Airistan. What really sold me on Mitsurugi is the little fire animation during the critical edge attack.
Sometimes I forget that Airistan has the pyrokinesis ability, but when I saw that animation, I knew that this is a better choice. Yeah, technically it's not a first choice, but both styles are close, so at least I wasn't far (unlike with some other characters).
Beirya (Jedi shadow/sentinel) - Grøh
At the moment I still haven't done the stories, but I did know that this style utilizes a double-bladed weapon that splits in two (probably bc I tried it for a different character before, and it didn't fit), so I knew precisely which style to choose for Rya. Since SWTOR isn't anywhere near releasing a new combat style (not to mention something as specific as a double-bladed lightsaber that splits in two), SC version will do.
Vylneer (Sith assassin) - Voldo and Taki
I don't even remember why I chose Voldo initially, but it's still a good choice. Really weird movements that are hard to track, powerful attacks, a lot of acrobatic movements just suit her well, even if weapons are mismatch (in SWTOR Vyl uses a double-bladed lightsaber, here it's two unusual weapons). Though some moves are a bit too silly.
The reason I have two fighting styles for her is secrecy. One style (Voldo) is used when she's on missions as Kallig's apprentice officially (meaning interacting with other Imperials, and they can't know her identity), the other (Taki) - when Vylneer is using her assassin cover. I picked Taki mostly for the fast movements and short blades (they resemble throwing knives a bit).
Vintu (Sith juggernaut) - Nightmare
Wanted him to have a big ass blade in SC, but Nightmare style was already taken, so initially I chose Siegfried, but it wasn't really a good match. So screw it, Vintu is also using Nightmare style. (happened as I wrote this post).
And now some characters that took more tries before I settled on one style:
Jett (mercenary) - Cervantes and Seong Mi-na
First choice was 2B bc the description said something along the lines "utilizes many weapons, ready for anything", and it has a more futuristic vibe. But ultimately, it was exactly the futuristic vibe that made me choose something different - it stands out from the rest world and characters (and yes, I know 2B is a guest character and not even a part of the story).
Then I remembered that I read about a style that has two swords and a gun (a swordgun? gunsword? anyway Ezra Bridger would approve) and thought that it would a better match. And yeah, it's pretty nice. Attacks feel powerful, long reaching, plus a gun (it's not often used, and can be dodged, but at times it's just so good), suits well as a general vibe.
However, I also remembered that while in SWTOR Jett is fighting with blasters and etc., in my headcanon she is using a melee weapon as well (especially in KotFE and onward), and realized that there is a style that uses a very similar weapon in SC. Few silly moves aside, it feels pretty good for Jett - the weapon is quite long reaching (and I can imagine Jett keeping some of the enemies, particularly Force users, at a distance), the movements are fine, and you can feel when she hits the enemy.
And a fun fact that I realized in hindsight - Jett had different people helping her train with a melee weapon, notably Shailla during KotFE (and onwards). In Soul Calibur, Mi-na at some point is taught by someone using Kilik style (not Kilik himself, but from the same martial arts temple). Some moves even have the same or similar animation. Not intentional, but nice coincidence.
Auletta (Sith sorcerer) - Ivy
First choice was Tira.
I'm actually surprised I didn't pick Ivy for Auletta from the beginning, then again, that was when I didn't know anything about the styles. The reason I chose Tira initially is her unique weapon - ring blade (yeah, weird that, Ivy also has a unique weapon). I approached it from this angle: "What if this character existed in SC lore? How would they fight?" And Auletta choosing a unique weapon was one of the reasons.
But then the movements of that style were too acrobatic and aggressive, which is not like Auletta, who, to compensate for the lack of physical strengh and lightsaber training, usually tries to avoid the close quarter fights and keeps the enemy at distance with the Force techniques and clever usage of surroundings. And if it ever comes to a duel, her attacks are calculated and precise. So I started thinking about a fitting style, and it hit me - why not Ivy? I wasn't super familiar with the style or the character, but had some idea what it is like (bc again, tried it with a different character and it wasn't a good match). I wasn't sure, but after trying it, especially properly seeing all the moves, I'm sold.
(the only part that's not very fitting is all the leg kicks, but it's a small part)
Xaele (operative) - Amy
First choice was Taki bc of a short blade (agents and knives, all that) and some acrobatic movements. But the two blades didn't fit, and the speed and strengh of the attacks didn't feel quite like Xaele. However, after acquainting myself with the characters I realized that Amy style would suit Xaele better. Short range weapon, fluid movements and still a good amount of acrobatics made for a good fit. Throwing roses at the enemy is not exactly what Xaele would do, but even that serves a purpose within SC, which suits agents, I think.
Raen (gunslinger) - Sophitia
Now this was a bit of a struggle. Raen is, by far, the least suited for any of these fighting styles bc she's a gunslinger in SWTOR and doesn't fight with mele weapons (or engage in close combat at all). There is Cervantes with one gun, but two swords and overall powerful vibe doesn't suit Raen. At first I chose Taki , but honetsly there no reason behind it other than 'can't think of anything else right now'.
Then I thought: "Gunslingers can hide behind a shield, right? And there are two fighting styles with a shield, maybe try them?". So I looked them up and chose the one that's more offensive (Cassandra) than defensive (Sophitia). But then the attacks felt too punchy and strong for Raen, so I switched to Sophitia, and it suits better (especially evading moves), although still far from a gunslinger.
Zin (mercenary) - Talim
Like with Raen, I had no idea where to start. The fact that Zin is a relatively new character and I'm still figuring out a lot of stuff about him did not help. Chose Hwang just because, and ofc that wasn't it. Then tried Haohmaru, and it still wasn't good.
Then I thought about what his close range fighting style would be like. Decided to try Talim, and honestly, it was fine. Better even, it gave me ideas about his fighting in SWTOR (at least in my headcanon). Mostly it's about the movement and attack speed, a lot of evasive moves and cool weapons that I feel like Zin can actually use.
(also kinda funny that his close range weapons are the opposite of Jett's, who trained him a lot - very close and fast, as opposed to long reaching with strong attacks)
Nevanor (Jedi sentinel) - Taki and Hilde
This one was the hardest to settle.
First choice was Voldo, because of the two weapons, but the movements were not fitting him at all.
Then Talim, for the same reason plus attack speed, but it felt too close range.
Then Cervantes, for the two swords, but the gun and the strengh of the attacks did not fit.
Then Taki, but the first time I didn't stick with this choice.
Then Geralt, for the two swords, but the silver sword is barely used, and movement speed wasn't quick enough.
Then Yoshimitsu, for the two swords and speed, but the movements are too specific and unusual, and the second sword isn't used often either.
And only then Hilde. Because it's kinda got two weapons, right? I really didn't expect much out of this one, but it's really nice. One weapon for close range, the other for long range, both are used often (although not both at the same time, but I can live with that), spear attacks are freaking cool, and there is a good sense of mastery to each move. Plus Hilde is a leader, and I think it can be seen in her presence in the fight (or maybe I'm seeing what I want to see), which is similar to Nevanor being the Alliance Commander.
And it is a nice style for his Commader days, but before that it still didn't feel quite right. Nevanor utilizes Ataru a lot before KotFE, and Hilde's style isn't quick or acrobatic. So I went back to Taki, and the second time it felt more suitable. It's got acrobatics, fast attacks, and both blades are sometimes used together. I think what made it better the second time was knowing that it's not going to be Nevanor's only fighting style.
Bonus:
Valkorion - Azwel
Both are more proficient in supernatural stuff than actual weapons (don't quote me, especially with Valkorion, he is said to have been Zakuul's best warrior before being possessed by Tenebrae). Plus they are both antagonists, both are bosses in boss fights, and when you get to play as either it feels like you're playing a boss level character.
Although, now that I'm thinking about it, Zasalamel could also work, because of time stopping abilities and the fact that both characters are immortal in some way (it's the scythe that I'm not sure about).
#oc recreation attempts in sc#aaaand i'm done! from now on it's going to the sideblog#i would add gifs to show a couple of attacks#but it would be a lot of gifs so idk#or videos but they are only one per post#oc:shailla#oc:imely#oc:kerstes#oc:airistan#oc:beirya#oc:vylneer#oc:lirijynn#oc:vintu aka paininbarass#oc:jett#oc:auletta#oc:xaele#oc:raen#oc:zinilev#oc:vitonru#oc:nevanor

Testing options
of the Marigny typeface I liked its book italic option, it was very legible and had a lot of the almost linking script style flourishes which I thought might be a nice middle ground when deciding between a script and a serif font as it gives some of the legibility due to it being serif but still has a feeling similar to the serif font of it being a bit friendly and personal.
Phoreus Cherokee was the font I tested next and while I think the font could work, I think it is definitely in line with what I am looking for but im not 100% sold on it yet. Speaking to others I have picked out this font as I think it works best while still having interesting elements.
Blanket was the final one I tested, I think out of the options it is the closest to capturing the handwritten feel, if I were to use it I would definitely have to up the size as well as play with the tracking as it is quite tight. While the other options are italicized Blanket is not, I will have to look at how the other fonts look when not used as text on a path.

okay no one asked but here's my engage thoughts and musings:
i'm split so far. while i'm certainly glad they're bringing back a level of campiness that i thought 3h lacked, i worry that it'll lean too much into the campiness and silliness and we won't get many emotional or serious moments from the supporting cast. so far none of the characters seem to have any depth, altho it's absolutely possible that they're just hiding that in the clips and trailers and it'll be present in the actual game
alear will almost certainly be the 13th ring. when they're good they'll have blue hair and when they're evil they'll have red hair. see the newest serenes forest analysis as to why there's probably a 13th ring + we see all-red hair alear at the end of the last main english trailer. plus marth's hair turns red when he's in the hands of the evil group. it all adds up and makes sense
i worry about the story. i think fire emblem's stories are the best when they involve the politics of the nations and have complex stories. mindlessly evil shadow organization + evil dragon has no appeal to me and it worries me that that's all we've seen of the story so far. since this is (allegedly) an anniversary game they may have relied mostly on fanservice and written a lackluster story. ofc, like i said above, they could just be hiding it
i'm not 100% sold on the art style, but the animation itself looks great. the models are far more expressive than the 3h characters. but yeah i don't love the baby-face anime models in general. overall a huge visual upgrade tho i think it looks great
the character designs are really fun! i'm not a fan of all of them (skunk girl and the xenoblade twins are especially egregious imo) but in general i enjoy them
our first male dancer! yay!!
i hope there's s supports for everyone or no one. i REALLY hated that byleth was the only one who could s support, it felt way too self-inserty. if alear can s support, everyone should be able to
re: s supports, if they are in the game i want explicitly gay s supports for non-alear characters. none of the player-sexual BS. if two characters can s support the same gender version of alear, they should also be able to s support with each other. i think everyone should be able to romance everyone regardless of gender but i know it's not realistic. also ofc this is all contingent on s supports happening at all but man. i just want good lgbt rep in fire emblem
the voice acting is sooo bad so far im sorry. framme, veyre, and hortensia are the worst offenders, like im serious go back and watch the english trailers. all three sound like 6-year-olds which is incredibly creepy (im sure it's loli bait) and it's incredibly grating
the throwbacks are super fun and it'll be really cool to see some old maps, music, and characters brought back. i just hope they don't have a recency bias and give the old games enough love too
i REALLY hope that chrom, robin, seliph, alm, hector, and eliwood make it into the game as DLC bracelets. even if some of them have to share it, they need to be in a game where all the fe lords are present and it would be wrong if they weren't. shez would be cool too but def not necessary considering he'd be the FIFTH 3h rep when all the others have 1-2. i also wouldn't be shocked if you could switch to the other gender of avatar characters so maybe even sixth if you include f!byleth as a separate character. anyway please add the other lords :) i also hope they don't go the fanservice route with the DLC. no camilla ring please
on the subject of DLC i hope that important story content isn't locked behind a paywall. i thought it was terrible when fates did it and i'll hate it if engage does it
also in general i HATE day 1 DLC. imo if you have finished DLC ready day 1 it should be in the base game. that being said i have pre-ordered it 🤡
SUPPORTS FOR THE EMBLEMS PLEASE. idc if it's just with the engage characters or with each other they need SOME support content.
also i hope the emblems get costume changes like the 3h characters can change to their war phase outfits or ike can change between his por and rd outfits. or even just let them have the customizable options that regular units do.
soren reference please
also just references to the emblems' games in general i think they should act like a real person would and TALK about their original worlds and their friends and family and stuff. even giving them unique dialogue with certain bond rings would be soooo epic please fe please do this one thing for me
idc about the gacha system as long as it uses in-game currency that you can't buy with real money
fe4 remake tease. please please please i need that game remade or ported i need to play it on a modern console
i am excited :) new fe games are almost always fun and i'm looking forward to it. i'm cautiously optimistic even tho this post is pretty negative. i'd rather be pleasantly surprised than disappointed. unless some earth-shattering news about it comes out it's a day one purchase
