#mod sothis

[blappel]

while we're on the subject not really but what would happen if appel and sylvain met

[deathbirby]

still can't believe that mod is spouting that shit about nemesis being a good guy cuz the nabateans were oppressing humanity when by the time nemesis did the genocide the nabateans were nearly exclusively residing in zanado and sothis herself was sleeping... like that's literally WHY he killed almost all of them because almost all of them had secluded themselves AWAY from humans in one specific spot. aside from everything else wrong with saying that there's just nothing in the game that remotely supports their position at all.

it's like they all WANT it to be true. like. really really REALLY want it to be true. there's such a weirdly persistent need to paint nabateans as evil AS A RACE from that mod and everyone who agrees with them, frankly i can't see it as anything but that mod being a racist.

Don't forget that he said that Nabateans should become subservient to humans as "atonement" for their crimes. Oh and they can't have any "power" over humans.

That is totally not racist and normal. Mhm. Nothing to see here!

byleth sona !!

personality changes under cut !

the “canon” timeline for her is black eagles -> silver snow, with only Felix, Lorenz, and Marianne recruited. But I’ll prob diverge from this a lot lol

my ver of Byleth shows more emotion than canon by a decent amt, and she absolutely hates being made a professor. especially bc all her students are the same age as her. She hates the whole enlightened one thing even more, but eventually just gives in lol He and Sothis probably get along a bit more rockily than in canon, but they’re still friends.

the first day she’s “in office,” she hides from everyone in the training grounds and practices by herself. That’s where Felix stumbles into him, and they spark up an odd friendship. They often spend lots of their free time together.

Only during the 5 yr timeskip does Felix realize his feelings for her, which he ignores until a few battles before the final battle. She reveals the feeling is mutual, and they become a couple. The proposal scene happens like a month later, and is a spur of the moment/hasty decision type of thing from Felix.

His design is inspired by this mod and Jeralt’s armor. I’m torn between making it his, or just inspired by him, but either way it’s his way of keeping his dad close to him.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to Fire Emblem: Three Houses! The Fire Emblem game that finally convinced me to get into FE 😂 I was a big Suikoden V fan when Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn came out for the Wii and I was about to get it, but people on forums were like "If you're a Suikoden fan only, you won't enjoy FE because of PERMADEATH and it's REALLY HARD" so I swore them off for over a decade (the irony that I got really into Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn down the road though and I cosplay Ena XD). Fast forward to 2019 when Three Houses was coming out and I got to work with Faye Mata at a convention I was graphic designer for. Her character Petra was so intriguing to me so I ended up binge watching all three routes of the game. I had bought a Timeskip Petra outfit on AliExpress, but due to COVID, it was questionable when I was going to receive it. I got a refund and then sent my friend MagicalAni the funds to help me with the sewing and beading. I did the wig dying and styling, armor work, sword modding, and all the other accessories besides the beading. I also created her tattoos in Illustrator and printed them out on tattoo paper. I ended up getting her school uniform on Miccostumes as well. For that version of her hair, I just braid the wig and call it a day. No separate wig necessary (except the dye does run a bit on the blouse if it's too hot; but that's easily editable if it gets too bad). I've been so lucky to be a part of a few FE3H photoshoots over the years. I am still trying to find a Dorothea to take photos with though!

thoughts on Sylvain/Marianne or Sylvain/Leonie?

I'm not really doing the ship meme anymore, but I can give brief thoughts on this.

Sylvain/Leonie is okay. I don't personally ship it, but I don't dislike it either. I think they'd be cute together.

But we. Were. ROBBED. With Sylvain/Marianne. This ship is in the same boat as Sylvain/Bernadetta for me. THEY DESERVED A PAIRED ENDING and if Three Houses ever gets a remake/definitive edition I swear to Sothis--

(mod is forcefully pulled off stage by vaudeville hook before they can go on 20 minute rant)

[edelvis-von-hresleyvelg]

mod here, been racking my brain for an edelgard-themed woah mama variant to use - the closest ive gotten is “woah sothis” but it’s not perfect since el isn’t really fond of gods in general - any ideas?

[problematic-fodlan]

There is more evidence for Jesus than there is Julius Caesar. There is no self respecting historian - secular, of any other faith, or christian - who agrees with anon about the lack of definitive historical record for Jesus. 

Josephus talked about Jesus, despite not thinking he was the Son of God. Josephus is a jewish historian btw. The Bible is so accurate historically that ancient historians use it regularly. Paul’s travels give us one of the greatest insights into ancient seafaring that any document does. The accounts of Jesus life - whether you agree with them saying that Jesus was raised to life again or with the miracles - are THE most well kept document, and the most accurate one. We have so few surviving ancient documents that having as many biblical manuscripts as we do is a blessing to historians. 

If you are uninformed about history or about religion, I would ask politely that you not write a take on it in a fire emblem blog. Historians, Christians, Catholics, Jews, and Muslims would all take offence at that anon comment. Jesus is central to three abrahamic religions (God and Saviour, God, Prophet) and people who are Jewish acknowledge him as a part of their history, because he WAS a historical person. 

Sothis and Naga are unique depictions of religion, and don’t really work as examples of how people who have a faith believe their world works (or at least the people I have met), but they’re interesting anyway. 

We don’t need to use real world religions, faiths, and historical people to agree or disagree with an opinion. 

Please Mod would you stop people from talking about actual faith and religion on this blog?

Real life topics are allowed here per the rules. I will however remind people that this is still a discourse blog for the Fodlan games, and that asks should be primarily about those.

[fayesemblemring]

Congrats on beating 3H !! So what are your thoughts of the complete Fodlan experience ?

Jokes aside, honestly I'm not sure I can give a straight answer.

Overall I'd say it's been one of if not my least favourite Fire Emblem, but that really doesn't sum it up.

A more accurate description would be that it had a good chunk of things I loved (above all the Nabatean fam, Dimitri and his story and Claude as a character)... But it's buried beneath a mountain of boredom to slog through, decisions I just don't vibe with and The Bullshit™. Sooo much tedium and Bullshit in this game, and the fact I was kinda done halfway through VW and only persevered through the end out of sheer spite doesn't help.

And it's such a shame because when I liked the game I REALLY liked it and think it has some of the best/most interesting ideas of the entire series... But was it really worth slogging through hundreds of hours playing the same mediocre at best maps and story beats over and over and having to constantly bear that. Fucking. Monastery? Right now I'm inclined to say no. As much as I love those things, it was not.

Playing all the routes one after another really lays some of the biggest issues of this game, like the repetition. SOOO much of this game is recycled between routes and also in a single route to honestly insulting levels, and it doesn't get that much better in Part 2. The fact the devs somehow didn't think people would want to play more than one route is just. Baffling.

Something I realized in the final playthrough is that they also recycle maps for what are supposed to be completely different locations. So you get shit like Brigid somehow looking the exact same as a forest in the Alliance filled with Demonic Beasts, or Rhodos Coast and a beach in the Sreng Peninsula perfect copies of each other. Complete with the monuments for Cichol and Cethleann. Also like damn, Seteth's wife was so dead they had to bury her twice. In two different locations.

The writing is all over the place as a result of the chaotic development where not even the devs could agree on what the story was, and the whole game could be used as a test study on the sheer damage scope creep can do as well as the obsession with lore and worldbuilding that they contradict as soon as it's convenient over making an actually coherent narrative. And also why you don't throw literally any idea you can come up with to the wall hoping something sticks.

Because of the overreliance on telling over showing, what with the bland recycled maps and all, that Garreg Mach almost feels like the only real location in Fódlan, and that's something no amount of in-game libraries or novels worth of lore if those ten thousand years of lore are even real and didn't just make it up

Speaking of Garreg Mach, dear Sothis I hate that place now.

The monastery was fun the first time around, but then it became a chore to something I actively dreaded doing. It's monotone, you do the same shit every time, it lasts FOREVER compared to, you know, the ACTUAL Fire Emblem gameplay I'm playing for. And while you can technically skip it, you're losing on so much stuff to progress your units if you use it, so it feels like the option is just there to mock you. Getting into Persona and realizing how well the calendar system can work if done properly did nothing but sour me even more on the monastery.

The characters having new dialogue every chapter is really neat and something I wish got properly carried over to Engage, this game manages to turn even that into a chore.

And like - I really want to like this game, and in a sense I do, there's quite a bit of it I love. But so much of it makes me actively groan that I don't think I'm gonna replay it for at least a year. And if I do it will be with the No Monastery mod.

[teaveetamer]

Aaaand now raxis is saying "how come everyone is ignoring how the mod thinks the Nabateans committed genocide? hOw CoNvEnIeNt."

How does he not see that the fact that the mod thinks the Nabateans MUST be evil IS PART OF THE PROBLEM. It is PART OF THE RHETORIC. That the Nabateans "must" have done something to "deserve" their suffering??? Nobody's ignoring anything, it's literally part of the entire point! And raxis keeps saying something about hating OG!Sothis as though she's done anything wrong?? When she literally never does?? What??

Like my god the amount of people going to bat for this stupid fucking mod is INSANE.

Oh and he’s dragging up those stupid blackmail accusations again. Hey fellas, is it blackmail to publicly post death threats sent against me? Cuz that’s still pinned to my blog as evidence that the mods allow the server to wantonly post death threats against people. Which is, you know, bad. Maybe if you don’t want people calling attention to the horrific shit you say in a public server you shouldn’t say horrific shit in a public server? Get your house in order.

[raxistaicho]

So the game devs saying the Nabateans were rulers automatically make the Nabateans oppressive tyrants. Rhea saying the Nabateans helped humans advance forward is White Man's Burden. That's your non-Agarthan proof? One line from the devs and one line from Rhea, both of which you are REACHING to make sound as bad as possible?

You and that mod are so desperate for the Nabateans to be evil to justify the genocide they went through. Wow, wonder where I've heard that before.

I'm sorry, quote ME saying Nemesis's genocide was justified. I think he and the post underground Agarthans are monsters, I said myself I blame the original incarnation of Sothis and not the Nabateans.

The mod we're talking about interprets the Nabateans as having genocided the original inhabitants of Fodlan, that's why they're so upset about them, and that's something that's going conveniently ignored.

[if-fe3h-was-good]

(1/2)

The only reason there isn't a recruitable Monica is because recruitable Monica begets Monica supports and if Monica and Byleth got closer then it would have been Byleth getting stabbed.

If there was support between the two, i.e. they had some sort of relationship, then Byleth wouldn't have been standing awkwardly off to the side watching their dad talk to their student.

If Byleth was standing next to Jeralt then either A) she would not have attacked at all or B) Thales wouldn't have been able to protect her.

There's also C) where only Byleth approaches and they're the one who gets stabbed.

Either way all of these options get in the way of the story the writers are trying to tell, so we just get stuck with the suspicious girl we can't recruit.

(2/2) Likewise, the only reason there isn't a choice to recruit save Kronya is because the writers needed you to fuse with Sothis. Putting aside whether she deserves to be saved or whether Byleth would want to, the very simple, completely logical choice in that situation is to stop Solon from charging his special attack. Byleth literally watches Solon cast his spell over the course of at least a minute and does nothing but stop and stare. They didn't even try to stop him like they had with Kronya. The Zahras spell was completely preventable on Byleth's side, and they just didn't do anything. (I have another issue with the chapter here where after Byleth disappears the students just kind of hang out with Solon until they return. I really think the section against Solon should have been without Byleth so that the Zahras spell had more of an impact and wasn't just instantly nullified by Goddess Power.)

Hey nonny!

I agree that the whole situation during this mission in the game is pretty contrived! But imho a lot of the early game is pretty railroad-y because there was a lot of setup in regards to the Church and Those Who Slither that needed to happen before the timeskip (and before you chose whether or not to follow Edelgard in BE route).

I kind of understand why we never got Monica/Kronya supports in the base game; we are kind of meant to be separated from Those Who Slither and getting any kind of connection with them would have made it hard to keep their plot obscured. I think it would have been interesting to get like, a fake-out C support with "Monica" so that the player wasn't so suspicious of her!

You're so right about byleth just staring during Solon's big attack wind-up, lol, unfortunately that's an endemic problem in JRPGs cuz they have to have cool looking villain attacks and the protags have to be super cool and powerful but will never do the logical thing because then we wouldn't see the big power ups... such is life, and such is the nature of fiction.

neither myself nor Mod J have many thoughts about Kronya but it's awesome you put so much thought into how to improve that part of the story!

Thanks for the ask!

[deathbirby]

I'm gonna Go There for a second: for a bunch of fuckers who won't shut up about being the OnLy PeOpLe with reading comprehension, them thinking that the Nabateans committed ANY genocide at all is, ironically enough, them not comprehending what they're reading.

"[The False God] will bring extinction to all children of men, and salvation to all beasts of the land, sky, and sea. For the children of men who spilled too much of the blood of life, it promises only cruel retribution. The False God must be defeated before the world sinks into a watery grave. To this end, the children of men have erected pillars of light upon the land. Thinis, Malum, Septen, and Llium were utterly destroyed. Those lands have vanished from this world. Yet even still, the False God stands. And soon, a flood aptly named Despair will drown this world.

The children of men fled to the depths of the earth, beyond the sight of the False God, beyond the embrace of the sacred sun, and beyond the reach of the waters of Despair. They swore a fervent oath of revenge against the surface world, ruled by beasts, and against their tormentor, the False God."

What this is saying:

Sothis will bring extinction to all children of men... who have already killed too many people. Meaning by this own propaganda's logic she is NOT bringing extinction, she's just killing specific people who have done horrific deeds to OTHER PEOPLE already

Sothis had not and has not flooded the world. "must be defeated before the world sinks into a watery grave" "And soon, a flood aptly named Despair will drown this world" - all the language pretty much explicitly says that she hasn't done shit, they just arbitrarily think she will and went underground because of this arbitrary belief. AND, even if there WAS a flood... obviously it DIDN'T bring about the apocalypse?? Because we can, like???? Play the fucking game in Fodlan??? Which has plenty of nature in it that's just fine and NOT soaked in water??? So either there wasn't a flood and the Agarthans were COMPLETELY wrong, or there WAS a "flood" of some kind and it didn't do anything like "sinking the world into a watery grave" and the Agarthans were STILL wrong.

"To this end, the children of men have erected pillars of light upon the land. Thinis, Malum, Septen, and Lilum were utterly destroyed... Yet even still, the False God remains." Meaning that despite these lands still standing, the propaganda details shock at Sothis being alive. Meaning that CLEARLY, it was THE AGARTHANS that fucking blew up those lands in an attempt to kill Sothis, not the Nabateans. Meaning that FUCKING CLEARLY, it was THE AGARATHANS that nearly killed all of humanity, NOT THE FUCKING NABATEANS. Of course they would blame the Nabateans for it, because they need a scapegoat to cover for their fumble of the fucking millennium - OF FUCKING COURSE they're not going to say "in our attempt to murder Sothis for no reason we the Agarthans killed scores and scores of Agarthans, our bad dawg" and the fact that people like that mod and that reblogger ACTUALLY FUCKING BELIEVED THEM AT THEIR WORD is absolutely ASTONISHING ("NeItHeR tHe AgArThAnS nOr NaBaTeAnS cAn Be CoNsIdErEd UnBiAsEd SoUrCeS" SHUT THE FUCK UP you could ONLY FUCKING THINK the Nabateans were oppressors BY TAKING THE AGARTHANS'S WORDS AT FACE VALUE AND COMPLETELY IGNORING THE NABATEANS' holy good GOD does that shit piss me off).

And just. "Nemesis was still considered a liberator even though Rhea rewrote history!!" yeah because evil tyrants have NEVER EVER EVER forced their oppressed people to unironically revere them as gods before!! With that sort of national brainwashing being something that becomes CULTURAL FACT and something that is EXTREMELY FUCKING HARD to erase, that definitely doesn't exist!! I bet Kim Gung Un really is such a swell guy, ask anyone from North Korea!! MY GOD these people would fall into Scientology just by LOOKING at a poster for it I swear.

Sorry that you have these assholes all over your post, they are legitimately infuriating with how blatantly they just repeat the worst kind of rhetoric with zero self-awareness

PREACH IT ANON! PREACH IT!!!

The Agarthan propaganda piece even admits they started the entire fucking thing lmaoooo. It was a self fulfilling prophecy.

[aogram]

are any of the characters inspired by anything/anyone in particular?

Some are, some aren't!

Renata wasn't particularly inspired by anything but she was the first character drafted and I just wanted an 'honorable knight' thing so that's the vibe I was going for.

Ralis was kind of inspired by a gith character one of my friends played in a campaign way back.

Qibra isn't really inspired by anything in particular other than that I thought aogram "needed a Fuuta" in terms of attitude towards the situation

Danzmyr... well I mean this one's obvious. I was like "hey what if Drizzt Do'Urden had a gayer and more morally questionable cousin" and I went from there.

Samako uh. Not really any inspiration there. I just like magic school students. And smug little bitches. So like, Lysithea from FE3H was an influence. Also I'm actually so unwell about Masoj Hun'ett (rest in peace. Or dont tbh bastard.) so big surprise

Now prisoners 006-010 are actually written by Aura, the other writer (I, Percy/mitsubin yuri, am one of the writers and also the only mod. She's not on social media a lot) so I can't say much.

She says none of her characters were really inspired by anything, other than Virian. Not to give spoilers, but certain elements of his character were inspired by a certain storyline in Baldur’s Gate 3.

The character voice I used for The Creator is basically entirely stolen from Fire Emblem Three Houses' Sothis.

[theofficersacademy]

Hiii, still not 100% sure if I’m committing but after a lot of evaluating it’s looking and feeling like my schedule/motivation may finally be accommodating of the three muse life and I have been hit with the silly beam. Can I reserve my girl Sothis while I think on it a little more please :)

Sothis has been reserved!

You have one week (3/26) to submit your blog and application to the Masterlist. Thank you for your reserve!
