#lyn!roy

[aestheticitii]

the thought of roy and lilina dancing after roy convinces his parents to have a wedding reception with their friends...

they talk about how lilina was hoping to get the bouquet for herself, after she comments that seeing her parents getting married would be so so wonderful. they talk about how she's seriously considering re-entering next year for that reason, because askr is the only time she can relive the times when her family was together, just like roy

and roy offers to pair up with her or otherwise help her in her quest. because he knows how much it would mean to her, because her very-obviously-in-love parents are half the reason she wants to get married

when she ends up hinting at who it is that she'd want her fairytale wedding with, he picks it up immediately because they used to talk about it all the time. how could they not?

after all, roy's dad leaves little love notes for his mom, and his mom rolls her eyes lovingly before carefully pasting them into a diary she keeps. she's got at least fifteen of those by the time she dies because he gives out at least one per day and he gets one kiss per so sometimes he writes more. after they spar, if she even just compliments him, his dad feels like he was the one who won their bout instead because he's so happy about it

she buys him a gift every time she heads to town because "it reminds me of you" but they're very, very loosely related things, so much so that even she can't recall what connection they have to her husband. she just thinks about him a lot and it shows in the way she accidentally slips into praising him any time someone says something remotely nice about him

meanwhile, everyone's quietly scared of lilina's mom because they know her dad will be furious if they disrespect or hurt her in any way—he's her biggest supporter and it's something she mentions often whenever lilina talks about wanting to get married. "find someone who supports you like your father supports me. and make sure to support him just as much."

and her mom goes out of her way to give him a singular wild flower—sometimes a weed—she found every day to let him know she's thinking of him. he keeps a list of their descriptions. anytime she complains about any sort of pain, he'll take it as an excuse to carry her around and even though she acts like she'd be fine if he didn't, she makes no moves to let go, even when she's teased about it

but like back to their dream wedding—lilina's dream wedding really is just what they both wanted, what they both talked about as kids. and roy's never really thought about it too hard, because in the back of his mind, he's always assumed it's going to be lilina walking down the aisle and well, he's already talked about it to her

she kisses him on the cheek when the dance ends and he asks, hesitating slightly before telling him that she's always liked him, and apologizes for taking the moment away from his parents

he asks her to dinner instead

lilina never gets to answer because everyone starts taking pictures with the bride and groom, and of course, lyn and eliwood insist on roy being in most of them.

but when he shows up at the place he mentioned, she's waiting for him.

a lotta lords!

Huge Emblem ring theory: I initially thought they were meant to represent each nation's virtue, but in actuality, their official rings counterbalance them

Firene's virtue is bounty. To ensure that everyone has everything they need. Bounty's flaw is complacency. When you're too accustomed to having everything you need, you forget what it means to have nothing

In Echoes, a major plot point is that Valentia was too complacent in simply relying on the grace of the gods and the fear of how they would survive without Mila or Duma. Celica can remind Firene not to take their resources for granted and to not lose faith if they ever lost them

Brodia's virtue is might. To find your worth and become greater than you were yesterday. The dark side of might is callousness. Valuing power above all else causes people to lose sight of compassion

Roy's virtue is about seeing the best in people and believing that humanity's nature is inherently good. When Brodia becomes too focused on conquest and warfare, Roy can challenge their ideals and remind them to value their humanity over their military strength

Solm's virtue is freedom. Everyone is encouraged to find their way in life and pursue what they love. However, freedom comes with the risk of chaos. When everyone does what they want, it's hard to achieve some kind of harmony

Path of Radiance showcases the dangers of chaos. While it is ultimately explained that chaos isn't inherently evil, it is still dangerous if it isn't balanced by other virtues. Ike can both encourage and rein in Solm's desire for freedom

Elusia's virtue is wisdom. Knowledge is the most important part of progress and moving forward. The danger of knowledge is arrogance. An important thing to remember as you learn about the world, is that you still won't understand everything. Forgetting this fact, can lead to a form of hubris that makes you feel untouchable

Lyn has personally met two people who lost themselves in the pursuit of knowledge. Bramimond's pursuit of the dark arts drove them to the point of losing all individuality. Nergal's single-minded obsession caused him to forget everything he originally wanted that knowledge for. If anyone can spot the warning signs of Elusia's downfall, it's Lyn

Each nation's official Emblem Rings have witnessed the consequences of their virtue's extremes in their original worlds and have the ability to advise them if they ever take these virtues too far

Riza opens the door to her father's bed chamber with a creak and slinks slowly inside. It's always felt forbidden to set foot here, even when she came in to clean and collect laundry.

The second chapter of I’ll keep you safe by the wonderful @lynyangell comes out today under the title “ But I promise you.”

This might be one of my all time favorite drawing I made of these babes 🥺 this was the first sketch I did for Lyn and what basically birthed the scene of their wedding! Happy reading 🩷

This is just a version of my favorite lighting for the drawing, thought I’d share with you 🫶🏻

Some of y'all mf can't play without looking up tier lists and it shows. Not saying that it's bad to check out tier lists, but the laser focus on who is and isn't a bad unit is so fuckin annoying. I don't care if Lyn isn't as combat adept as Hector or Eliwood, she's cool as hell and I like her a lot. Also a sword + bow Lord is so dope! I don't give a good god damn if Roy is bad, he's practically a child and the story is about him growing up and developing as a leader so I'm fine with it if he's completely mediocre! I promise that even on the hardest difficulties, it's not a game ending scenario to have a force deployed lord who's less than stellar. There are plenty of other units who can hold the line and even help lesser units farm exp. I've finished FE6 on hard mode, you can do it even if Roy is a "bad unit"! Please stop taking ironman run tier lists as a valuable read on a character's worth, it's 2025 we need to move past this shit.

Have you ever noticed that Alear and the Four Royals acts as a Five Man Band? The story may not show that well, but their gameplay, nations and represented Emblems demonstrate that they are this trope perfectly. Veyle acts as the Sixth Ranger (actually 11th Hour Ranger). They best represent this trope as well because Alear, the Royals and Veyle are the only playable characters that can’t die on Classic Mode (oh and Vander too, but he’s just a mentor kind of guy).

The Five Man Band is among one my favorite tropes in media. Why? IDK why, it just is. I used to be a Power Rangers fan, five is usually among the highest these teams get to. In which case it becomes a Three plus two scenario where a Power Trio becomes a Five Man Band (Ninja Storm, Dino Thunder, and Jungle Fury come to mind).

I bring up this trope to talk about Fire Emblem Engage specifically, Alear, and the Four Primary Royals fit this trope. And it’s not just in team composition, IMO, the Emblems they are best known for (specifically in the Prologue cutscene) best give idea on why they fit the role in the team.

Alear the The Hero/Leader of the team; because obviously they are the Fire Emblem Lord, they are the Divine Dragon: the only one who can summon the Emblems who can save the world from the Fell Dragon. And just like any other Fire Emblem Lord in the franchise, if they are defeated, it’s a game over. Pretty typical Fire Emblem knowledge.

Alear’s most common Emblem is Marth. Marth is the first ever Fire Emblem Lord in the franchise, the idealistic leader that his loved ones trust and follows. Marth is the first of many sword wielding heroes in the franchise. Swords are a very common weapon type for heroes (Micaiah is the only Emblem in the main game that canonically never uses swords).

Alfred is the Lancer. Who usually acts a foil to the Hero/Leader, usually is their first/best friend/companion, and/or is the first to question any decision the leader/hero makes. Not every character of the archetype has to be a rival or a jerk (or in most cases both), Alfred is one of those examples. Alfred is the first Royal to join. Firene has the closest ties with Lumera, and Alfred appears in more cutscenes than any other Royal in the game. (Double points for having Lances as his primary weapon type).

The Emblem he uses in the Prologue is Lucina. Lucina is the not the central protagonist of Awakening, Chrom is. Even still, Lucina is a character who acts as an emotional foil to Chrom. More importantly, Lucina is the descendant of Marth, who happens to be Alear’s most associated Emblem.

Diamant is the big guy/muscle of Alear’s team. Brodia is the Kingdom of Might after all. Diamant is the most physically imposing with his main stats being his HP, Strength and Defense. Diamant is also the tallest and oldest member of the team (age being 25, Alfred is 21, Ivy is 20, Timerra is 18 and Alear is physically 17).

Diamant’s national Emblem is Roy, who gives Sword Power as an inheritance skill that allows Diamant to hit harder with a sword, but at the cost of avoid. Rise Above (Emblem Roy’s Engage skill) increases his level and stats along with them. Ironically, Roy was 15 years old in his games, Diamant is the oldest Royal, yet Roy is one of the younger FE lords next to Leif.

Next is Ivy, befitting of Elusia’s title of the Kingdom of Knowledge, she is the smart girl. Ivy has gone to school and was at the top of her class. (Studying is also one of her hobbies and likes items regarding them) Ivy is the most level headed of the Royals. Ivy is the only member of this main team that uses magic, and her ability to fly and heal is invaluable in a Fire Emblem game.

Ivy is associated with two Emblems rather than one. Lyn (the Emblem entrusted to Elusia) has the ability to summon doubles that can be used to distract the enemy. While Leif is an Emblem that switches between your current weapons it best suit the situation (often for the worst, unfortunately). It’s also worth noting that Soren is the DLC Emblem entrusted to Alt. Elusia. Soren is the Tactician of the Greil Mercenaries.

Finally, Timerra acts the emotional core to the team as the heart. Despite being far more politically savvy than what her peppy personality might suggest, she still is a genuine mood-maker in her supports where she attempts to get Ivy to open up and give perspective to Diamant on their ways of leading their countries. Her Queendom represents Freedom and is a very accepting person.

Her Emblem is Ike, and even if people mainly see him as a snarky guy, Ike is a very compassionate person. I mean, Ike would have to be a nice guy if he is the only person Soren is unfailingly kind to and is devoted to above everyone else. Ike’s Resolve (pun intended) is the thing that keeps the Greil Mercenaries from falling apart after his father’s death. Gameplay wise, Timerra with Ike act as a Critical Hit fighter with Wrath and Sandstorm. It takes a lot of effort and a bit of luck to make the most of her.

And finally, Veyle rounds out the team as the Sixth Ranger (doubles as 11th Hour Ranger, she is the last recruit in the main game). Sixth Rangers often comes joining in the team after a rivalry dispute and or brainwashing (Tommy Oliver (trope namer) and Zuko from Avatar comes to mind), Veyle is no exception. Veyle is the only other Non DLC Dragon units in the game. Most Sixth Rangers often (like the Red Ranger) have a power no other Ranger does.

Veyle doesn’t have a designated Emblem outside of Marth (who her evil self used, and she has boss dialogue with Emblem Marth in his Paralogue), but I consider Emblem Alear to be the closest thing Veyle will get to a designated Emblem. Her evil self also wears Alear’s Ring in the bad ending.

The major difference between Alear’s team, and the Four Hounds led by EVeyle is that the Hounds were already formed long before the story began. Alear and the Four Royals don’t officially form until more than halfway through Engage’s main story chapters. And yet these guys became a real team where the Hounds failed.

CHLOÉ IN THE NEW FEH MANGA!!! I love that they included the names of what she’s eating in the third panel!

What if there was a Fire Emblem fighting game that was inspired by other weapon-based fighting games like Soulcalibur or Samurai Shodown? And if it was developed by Namco like how Soulcalibur is, Link randomly appears as a guest fight like how he did back in the GameCube version of II. And then the Fire Emblem characters mistake him for a manakete because of his pointy ears and superhuman feats.

And if Takamaru somehow doesn't get into Smash 6, he'll go here as another guest fighter.

She's been half in love with him for years, but she never thought she'd see him again after he left for the military academy. He and her father argued terribly about it, and he left in a storm of fury without even saying goodbye to her.

Hello beautiful people!

I am sweet, an artist who had the pleasure of creating art for one of my all time favorite authors @lynyangell! She is one of the warmest people I ever met, a wonderful kind and very supportive lady, I am so deeply lucky to be paired with her I can't even express how much I adore her 🥺🩷

Over the course of the last month, she was wrote this fic under an event that is ran by @rene-of-the-blackouts called “ lets transmute together!” and I was honored to create some art to go along with it!! Hope you guys enjoy the first chapter that comes out TODAY!

I’ll keep you safe.

Summary: When Roy Mustang returns to his Sensei's home seeking the knowledge of flame alchemy, he gains much more than he bargained for. Left alone and destitute, Riza Hawkeye has few other options other than to rely on the kindness and generosity of her father's former apprentice.

“I give you this ring as a sign of fidelity,” Riza repeats the clerk’s words. “All that I am, I give to you. I submit myself to you wholeheartedly, to be your obedient wife for all of my days and to cherish you in my heart as my husband.”

She slips the cool band of metal onto his left hand, and Roy smiles at her. Before the officiant can prompt him, he repeats his own vow, one that he’s come up with himself.

“Riza, I give you this ring as a sign of fidelity,” he says. “All that I am, I give to you. I swear to protect you and care for you wholeheartedly for all of your days and to cherish you in my heart as my wife.”

Art for the first chapter: “ Hold out your hand”
