So here are some of my imaginings of what could have happened with human star. This isn’t a full rewrite (in case it seems choppy), just me rambling about many of the ideas I had. Though, I may write some of these. But please, ask or talk to me about it. It's so much fun to imagine. This is a long post, so I've put the rest under the cut. ✨

Some people have mentioned Star being mute. I’m not sure if they are actually referencing the star we got in the movie, so I’m just going to say that his voice is the last thing he finds in his humanoid form, and that he does in fact, mime things. If he talks, it's very little.

I want to know more about Asha’s father and her relationship with him. He seemed to be some sort of philosopher or astronomer. He drew maps, and he always recognized a certain star that only appeared at certain times of the year, right above the castle, and moved in an arc over it with the Earth's rotation. He called it the wishing star. You know, the star. He had a powerful wish too—one that he gave to King Magnifico before he tragically passed. But, he doesn't have full control over the wishes... yet. The wishes of those who have passed ascend to the stars, where they hold them safe.

Perhaps she's already known about his evil intent, even though no one else does. I'd also like to see more of Asha's flaws. If she's caring or people pleasing to a fault, I almost want to see it cause a problem. Maybe she accidentally impedes on something important and completely messes it up, possibly even the wish ceremony in an attempt to get her grandpa's wish granted (to inspire future generations). It would give more impact before she runs into the woods and sings This Wish. (just please don't say "throw caution to every warning sign" cause... what?)

Do you know the concept art of when Star first comes down to Earth? I think after Star's light envelopes the island, he would awaken in the forest, confused as to why he is so far from home. Asha finds him, and of course, is equally confused. He sees her and slowly realizes that she is the one who called him down and that he's on Earth.

I would want to see lots of shapeshifting here. There could be a song as he slowly gives his magic to the trees and the animals that explains who exactly he is, and by extension, how the galaxies, planets, and life are formed. He personally knows many of the stars we know about (you know, like Spica or Arcturus). In fact, when she tells him about her seven friends, he is reminded of seven stars he knows deeply, the Pleiades (his guiding constellation). She knows about them because her father showed her.

I think that concept would also give more depth and lore to King Magnifico’s sorcery. What he keeps in his room are akin to chemistry experiments, if you will, so it’s clear that he practices some sort of alchemy. He could have only retrieved magic like this from the cosmos, possibly the life force of the stars. She asks him if he can grant her grandfather’s wish. He shakes his head or signals. He can't. And of course, he doesn’t know or have the wish. King Magnifico is in possession of it.

Imagine they fly, like a Peter Pan-esque way (or maybe in the end, because they have to stay hidden). I want her to talk more about her father. Maybe he has an observatory. If the stars need to align a certain way for Magnifico to perform an ultimate spell, one of the keys to stopping him would be there.

He's still naive to exactly what's going on, yet he imparts wisdom, almost by accident, that make Asha realize. Since he isn't fully familiar with humans and their world, he probably messes with some items he sees and definitely knocks some things over. (I don’t know why but I imagined him hiding inside a jar.) But he's so fascinated by the smallest things in the world. Asha doesn't want him to be seen because she knows they'll be in deep trouble, but what if Star runs off out of curiosity and impresses a small crowd of people with his magic tricks. But of course, someone goes to pass along the word and soon enough, it'll reach Magnifico. I'm sure he wants to meet her friends too, but she has to try to hide him as she interacts with them and maneuvers her way up the castle.

I want the idea of humans being like stars of our own to slowly come to light over the story rather than in one song. Star can see all the wishes in people’s hearts, like the cores of stars. He can see each person for who they truly are at the core of their beings, in their purest forms. He wants to show her at some point, so, he takes her hands. And he feels a profound love for the first time. He feels the love she has in her heart for her family and her. For the first time, he can see where the wishes he hears come from, because...

After everything, Asha and Star finally reach the castle and find all the wishes. Star instantly recognizes their forms. And here, Asha finally sees the wishes of her family—her mother, her grandfather. But one is missing. Some people have died never knowing their wishes they gave to King Magnifico. Star has seen and held them before, because the wishes of those who have passed ascend to the stars, where they hold them safe. That includes Asha’s late father’s. And Star is the one holding it safe. So, he reaches deep within himself and pulls it out. She hold it in her hands, and it breaks her heart. His wish was for all people to know that in a world of matter who they are, their dreams are within reach. They shouldn't ever stop looking up because someone told them they can't. If they're going to sing At All Costs with the original words, this is when it would be. It would be so profoundly magical, like an I See The Light kind of moment. Their love for these precious wishes and for each other. Imagine, Asha’s holding her father’s dream in her arms, and very carefully, she passes it back to Star for safekeeping, yet at the same time, they’re holding each other.

Imagine, just imagine, that he was the star on her father's map.

Magnifico still ultimately wants to capture Star and keep him inside his staff forever so he can dictate the world. And Star holds some of the wishes of the passed? That’s even better for his quest for power. In fact, he aims to become so powerful that he can pull the wishes down from the heavens. He could extend his power into the cosmos. And if Asha made a mistake earlier in the film, people would be much more likely to believe him at first when declares Asha a traitor and lies that she's the one who destroyed their wishes. Also, he needs a bit more epic of a villain song.

I think they would be forced into hiding. Asha's friends are there and they still sing Knowing What I Know Now complete with some Star shapeshifting.

Her friends hadn't showed up as promised. Perhaps Magnifico had put an end to their uprising. Either way, Asha and Star confront him. Star is the last person she has by her side, and with a few words of his spell, he sucks him into his staff. He finally has the power he's craved. He can pull the wishes down from the heavens and crush them. She is alone when he commands the clouds to cover the stars and says his line of “There will be no more hope" (I don't remember the exact wording). She looks out to see the kingdom in hiding, wondering if her friends are really there like they said they would be. It's dark and storming, and she's so alone in the moment that it seems that Magnifico has already won. There are no stars in sight. Yet, she remembers how Star showed her that each person is made of everything that comes from the stars. So she begins to sing: So I look out to the stars just like me.

It turns out, her friends are there. They show up right when she needs them most and begin to sing with her, their hearts alight like the cores of stars. It's not enough. But the kingdom sees hope, and that's when they begin to come out. I mean from across the island, from their homes. He still casts a spell, and while weighed down, they still sing. That way, Magnifico's "mirror mirror" sequence could also extend across the whole island.

And Star breaks free. He ascends, high, and the wishes Magnifico attempted to pull down to Earth are let free. And when the clouds dissipate, he's sucked into his staff and defeated.

It would honest be funny if Star plummeted just to appear over the balcony and surprise her. And then... this is when they kiss.

So, she reunited with her loved ones as was in the ending, and of course, he must return to the heavens soon. (And be the guiding star). Asha loves him, but she loves her friends and family too, and her kingdom needs her. So, he bestows a new gift on her that she's worthy of. She would become the first fairy godmother and have the ability to commune with the stars. She can go between the heavens and Earth. She would have a dress transformation that would be reminiscent of the one in Cinderella. Sabino also begins to pluck his lute and play When You Wish Upon a Star in the end. When Star does return home, maybe, he leaps like a shooting star over the castle. Get it?

I appreciate that the setting alludes to the various cultures of it's inhabitants from around the Mediterranean region (I would love if even more variety was shown as a Mediterranean person myself), but I really want more of Asha's specific cultural background to be portrayed. I'm trying to think exactly what role Queen Amaya would have in the narrative. I've heard her and Magnifico were supposed to be the first villain couple which sounds so cool! I'm trying to imagine how exactly the dynamic would be there. If you have any ideas then lmk. ^^

(I had this crazy moment when thinking about ONK today and wanted to tell someone)

If your speculation on the HKAI "I cannot love you" moment is correct, I wonder if the AQRB confrontation re Ruby's request to be seen (and loved) as Sarina to Aqua's Gorou will lead to a similar respond. Ie "I cannot love you the way you want me to, even in the scenario you just described."

Because at the end of the day, if I'm reading it correctly, Gorou was never serious in his "till you're 16" response to Sarina. They both knew that she wouldn't live past 12. Sarina/Ruby is delusional but only in a way a girl (sick and fated to die at 12 with the only person kind to her being her doctor) who didn't get to mature in her thinking could be. And imo that parallels to Hikaru, who's experience in "romance" was offering himself in exchange for "love". (Airi's defense for herself was that they were in love, which I suspect was something she told Hikaru, too.)

Tldr: Ruby in her right mind would not proposition her brother, just like 15YL Hikaru in his right would not think grooming is a form of romance. And it is the other person's responsibility to say "no, I can not offer you what (you think) you want".

Another response that's ultimately too late oops… I do still have a lot to say on this topic tho so I hope it's still interesting to read!

Message from future Claire after they finished writing this ask: tehepero… this one turned into a huge ramble so um. please forgive me. Also, spoilers for Usagi Drop made their way in here, if someone somehow doesn't know the big twist of that ending in 2024…

RE: Gorou and Sarina, this is for sure the intended read of their relationship to a degree . Spica downplays/sidesteps this aspect of their relationship a lot but even there it's said explicitly that Gorou was one hundred percent aware that Sarina's long term prognosis was basically non existent. It definitely makes him way more indulgent of and receptive to the "omg Sensei marry me stuff" but even then it's pretty clear that it is, again, just indulging her.

The manga by contrast is much more strongly characterized by this sense of shared but unspoken preemptive grief for the inevitable, where both of them understand but don't really want to talk about it out loud. It added an interesting wrinkle to their relationship that I liked a lot and was disappointed to see Spica iron out but ironing out the interesting parts is kind of what Spica does in general and isn't specific to Gorou and Sarina lol

BUT UH my point is that because of this shared sense of grief and awareness of Sarina's mortality I never really got the impression that she was under even the slightest illusion that Gorou was serious which is why later materials' framing of her as being convinced she can and will be in a relationship with him feel so weird to me. The SENSEI KEKKON SHITE thing doesn't even really feel like Sarina herself is all that serious about it - the energy is almost more like a running bit. Obviously her feelings for him were very strongly and sincerely held and I do think it makes sense for her to jump to actively wanting to be in a romance with him and thinking it was plausible post 123 when her brain has been ensoupened but again, there's that backfill in both Spica and main story material that implies she was ALWAYS that hung up on and deluded about him and tbh I don't really know what to make of it.

In an exclusively post 123 context though, I do really agree with this take on Ruby! This is obviously not a healthy response nor is she thinking at all realistically about what she's propositioning, especially given the kind of weird energy in 143 where she just never even acknowledges Aqua's existence as her brother. Honestly the way OnK has handled AquRuby since 123 and its reluctance to actually acknowledge the incest when it bothers to take Ruby's feelings is very strange to me and I can't quite tell if it's intentional or not yet.

If it IS intentional, then I think it's the set up for Ruby being smacked in the face with the reality of what actually being in a relationship with Gorou-via-Aqua would would actually mean. Because like, regardless of how you or me or anyone feels about incest as a fictional device, in-universe Oshi no Ko is essentially set in our own world - a dramatically exaggerated version with supernatural elements, sure, but still paralleling our own closely enough to comment on real world issues. For OnK to treat most of the other taboos and issues it addresses as seriously as it does and NOT do the same with incest would be incredibly jarring and deeply incongruous.

If you'll forgive a tangent within a tangent, this is a big part of why the infamous ending of Usagi Drop comes off as so fucking unhinged. It's not just that the story twists itself into a pretzel to hook up Rin and Daikichi (though, you know… that), it's that everyone in the cast acts like a fucking space alien on service of making it happen and it occurs with no conflict or consequences. There's this bizarre energy around the cast interactions that's hard to accurately convey, but every time someone in-universe finds out about Rin's feelings for Daikichi, it's immediately treated like them hooking up is not only the obvious and inevitable conclusion but that Daikichi is somehow obligated to enter a romance with Rin purely because she has feelings for him. Daikichi's own feelings on the matter are irrelevant. As far as the story is concerned, him going from seeing Rin as his daughter to seeing Rin (very explicitly and textual) as a romantic and sexual partner is as easy as flipping a switch and it's purely macho stubbornness that keeps him from doing so. It's absolutely mind boggling to read.

Anyway. Oh my God. To cut my EXTREMELY long rambling short and actually loop back around to the point of all this: Because of ^ ALL THAT ^ and the way the story has very conspicuously dodged around the HKAI breakup and suddenly swerved to 15YL's depiction of Ai's time in hospital, I'm still pretty certain that the "I can't love you (like that)" is going to be the main emotional capstone for Ruby's own character arc within the Movie Arc as a whole and possibly the emotional climax/resolution of wtfever OnK is doing with AQRB (& GRSR through them) right now. Given how much weight was given to that scene in particular way back when I'd be shocked if we skipped it and I do think there's some merit to the reads of Aqua and Ruby each paralleling the 'opposite' parent, so to speak - Nik (@akane-kurokawa) even pointed out in their 143 review that while the AquRuby kiss is paralleled by the in-movie HikaAi kiss, Aqua is in Ai's position and Ruby is in Hikaru's.

I do hope that this is something intentional and that we'll see something come of it - if nothing else, seeing Ruby have to deal with her relationship to and feelings about her father and the knowledge that he killed her beloved mom is something I really wanted out of the Movie Arc and I've been sorely disappointed by it being reduced to gag fodder thus far. But like I always say at this point, the Movie Arc is such an unfocused clusterfuck I have no idea if this is something we can rely on to be a long term theme.

BRAINROT SCENARIO IDEAS I KEEP THINKING OF AFTER ARTW ENDED (maybe some spoilers for floor 13?)

1; The Sorcerers appearing in the Summoners dreams.

I imagine it’d be like summoning them in your dreams, but instead of a physical summon it’s the subconscious. So it’s still them, just not physically. BUT LIKE just imagine it’s a month or two after you’re back in mid earthiem and you go to sleep then meet them in your dreams?? THE ANGST POTENTIAL??

2; The time flow is different so they age? Mature? Basically change at different rate

SO like different time flows between the two worlds, so if you DO meet them in the dreams or physically again they will have changed much more significantly than you have 😭

I don’t know if the sorcerers actually age (like Schedar, old as-) but maybe just slower, but I think they’d definitely mature and grow. LIKE a month passed for you, it’s 100 years for them or something like that.

3; Memory fading, the imprint fading, death, other angst points.

SO LIKE I know the sorcerers have good memories, but either they or the summoner forget each other eventually with time and age before they reunite.. ITS UNLIKELY BUT STILL MY HEART-

ALSO the imprints eventually fading as the years pass. CUZ IF THE SUMMONER GROWS OLD OR THE SORCERERS AGE A LOT OVER TIME, WHAT IF THE IMPRINTS FADE AWAY?? Also just the summoner looking in the sky and spotting the constellations.. 😭

Imagine the summoner eventually dies and the sorcerers do find a way to mid earthiem just to find out the summoner passed and they were too late.. OW..

BUT I HAVE FLUFFIER IDEAS 😁 (I dont)

4; Watching the constellations change

Because the Castor and Pollux thing right? LISTEN, imagine the constellation eventually visibly wakes up?? AND SUMMONER CAN SEE HOW THE CONSTELLATIONS ARE RESPONDING SO THEY KNOW HOW THEY’RE DOING??

5; The Sorcerers find a way to let Summoner safely cross OR Summoners magic improves to the point it’s useless for them to stay in Mid Earthiem

The title explains it all honestly, they find a way back and stabilize the summoners magic. ALSO SO THAT ITS THEIR OWN NOT POLARIS’ (I’m still salty about that)

6; Being able to meet them in shared dreams at night

LIKE IMAGINE BRO

Spica changing his sleep schedule to be able to check in with you more, Pollux and Arcturus rambling about their days with you and making plans for when they meet again, Alpheratz and Vega checking in and making sure you take care of yourself, Sirius 😶

(By the way Sirius is so fked, man’s became Debris and is NOT COMING BACK, NOR WANTS TO SEE US)

ALSO IMAGINE YOU CAN PHYSICALLY TOUCH IN THE DREAMS! (DO NOT get the wrong idea. I mean if you want sure but 🤗) Just cuddling in the dream space after a long day or just missing them and feeling lonely. 😭

ALSO IF MULTIPLE SORCERERS COULD COME IN?? ESP FOR BIRTHDAYS OR HOLIDAYS TO SAY HELLO?? 😭

Only thing I could see go wrong is that they use this to cope and form unhealthy sleep schedules to try to see Summoner more, and vice-versa. (Alpheratz’ schedule is already messed up but dw abt it ☺️)

7; Best scenario for last

Throat punch Sirius.

⬇️ For all the Sirius fans ☺️

Whoopsies! I slipped up and turned your artw guys into magical girls

Part 4

I based pretty princess Alpheratz off of Andromeda, the chained princess. Also very inspired by yachiyo nanami I from magica record because I think about her often she's so cool

Uhh spica is just green I didn’t have a coherent thought process whoops I was too focused on alpheratz

Please excuse my angry rambling about the process for creating ladyratz

The amount of times I had to correct the purple on alpheratz to make it more accurate just for it to become THE WRONG PURPLE is horrifying. I wanted to make alpheratz's eye color the main color, because that's what I've been doing with most of them. But I also wanted to incorporate the red that hes usually associated with, so I made the purple darker and made the red lighter and into a pink. (I only did this because I didn't like how the purple looked with the red also pink is so cool) But then after that the purple started becoming incorrect?? it turned more and more into magenta as I kept drawing

Oh yeah and also not only that but I had actually originally been working on alpheratz along side a magical girl design for SCHEDAR (because I have to give the side characters the same treatment otherwise it wouldn't be fair) and I wanted their designs to look nice beside eachother because they were gonna have like, a queen and princess theme, but I also wanted them to vary in color. that way I would have shedar with a pale cool color pallet and then ladyratz with a saturated warm one with a few shared colors like the eye color BUT THAT MESSED UP THE COLORS MORE SOMEHOW?? they wound up being two completely different purples in the end because I wanted them to look different enough for the designs to work on their own 😭

Then as I kept working the anatomy started to look off because I was looking at it for too long, so I redid the entire drawing of pretty princess alpheratz JUST FOR IT TO LOOK WORSE THAN IT ORIGINALLY STARTED AND THE PURPLE WAS STILL WRONG??! Oh and also now the pink is wrong!!!

Now the entire drawing looks off but I really don't want to look at ladyratz ever again so I'm not gonna remake it a third time

Anyways, now that the girly guide committee is complete, I must move on to girlifying the side characters because I genuinely have nothing better to do with my time. they are definitely not being finished anytime soon tho lol

@levemetal Hope you don't mind my bringing this out to its own post - I saw your tags and wanted to try to help!

So, ripping models is going to be a different process depending on how the game was made; what console it was on, what game engine its built in... There's no one-size-fits-all process, and it's going to require some baseline tech-savvy-ness.

But given that these tags were regarding Grima; I'll tell you more or less how I get models out of Fire Emblem Awakening.

A Ramble-y Overview of Fire Emblem Awakening Model Ripping:

Step 0: Gather your Tools

There's a lot of tools floating around intended to help with 3DS model ripping. Some are very pleasant to use and others are janky, so brace yourself.

For this, you will need:

Citra emulator (for extracting game files)

Paragon (for figuring out where models you want are)

FEAT (for decompressing game files)

SPICA (for exporting models + textures to usable formats)

Blender (for actually working with the models) (or whatever 3d modelling program you like; I only know blender though)

Step 1: Get a ROM of Awakening

Legally obtain one, of course. Assuming you have the game cartridge the 3DS hacking community can help you more with that. Definitely do not download any game roms from any online websites, why, that would be piracy!

Step 2: Extract the Game Files

Open up Citra, add a game directory and tell it where your rom is.

Right click the rom and select "Dump RomFS" to get Citra to start extracting all the game files. This will take a while. Wait for it to be done.

Once its done dumping the files, you're going to want to go to File > Open Citra folder. From there, navigate into "dump", then "romfs", then click the big nonsense folder name - that nonsense is Awakening's game ID, so, this folder is Awakening's game files.

All the models you could ever wish for are in here!!! We just need to actually find them now.

Step 3: Figure out which model(s) you want.

Time to go open up Paragon. This is technically a tool for creating mods of several fire emblem games, but we're not going to mod anything, we're just going to use it to figure out what models belong to which characters.

The github page has instructions on it, but basically you want to open up Paragon and start a new project for FE13. Create some random output folder for it and direct it to that, we don't care. But the "Extracted RomFS Directory" should be the citra folder I just told you how to get to.

Once you have the project open, there will be a lot of buttons and things. Don't worry about all this. The only two you care about right now are "Asset Definitions" and "Presets".

(Ignore the font; I changed paragon's font to awakening's font because i'm a nerd)

Most of the human characters are easiest to find in "Asset Definitions"; some under their english name, others (like Chrom) under their english base class' name.

Grima, though, you can find in "Presets" by searching for "boss".

This entry specifically is the one pertaining to grima's full body model. There's a lot of info here, but the highlighted panel on the right is the information you need; this is telling you the names of the files containing Grima's models and textures!

For human characters, typically the head and body fields will be filled in, and possibly the hair for characters with long hair. some have accessories, some don't.

This complexity is why we use paragon to check instead of checking every single model file manually like fools. (it's me, i'm fools)

Keep this window open for reference at the side for the next step.

Step 4: Go Get the Models

Make a folder somewhere on your computer to keep this character's models.

Then, go back to that Citra folder we opened up earlier.

Awakening's assets are split up into several folders. The folder you want is "b", which has most of the character and weapon models and textures. (This organization scheme is Not consistent between Awakening and the other 3DS fire emblems, watch out.)

In here, find the files paragon is telling you belong to this character, and copy them into your dedicated folder for this model ripping project.

Wow, look at all those files we can't use. Time to make them usable.

Step 5: Decompress the Files

Open up FEAT. Drag all those files onto the FEAT window. It will decompress them; there will be a copy of each file without the .lz file extension. You did it! They're decompressed!

Step 6: Extract the Models and Textures

Open up SPICA.

Click the little Folder button in the top left to open a file. Navigate to this folder you have your decompressed files in. Click on one of the decompressed files.

For MODELS, as in the .m files, you are going to click the Save button. Save each model as a .dae file, and give each a name that will make it clear which model this is - the body, the head, a specific accessory, whatever. (you can choose .smd instead if you want, but you will need a blender addon for importing smd files if you do.)

For TEXTURES, which are the .t files, there is an extra step. In the panel on the right, there is a small anime eye. That is the textures tab. Click on it, and the panel will change to a list of textures that are in that file. You should export all of them by using the special texture export button. DO NOT CHANGE THE NAMES the texture names are important.

Step 7: Blender Time

Tragically this is the most annoying part, and I can't even give you very detailed instructions off the top of my head because the exact steps are so tailored to each specific character.

Open up Blender. Go to File > Import > Collada (.dae) and import the character's component models one by one.

Each individual file will come with its own armature for posing! If you want to have a functional, posable model, you are going to have to join them together yourself. Normally this means taking a component armature, positioning it properly in relation to the body, parenting the component meshes to the body armature, joining the component armature to the body armature, and then taking whatever root bone the component had and setting it's parent bone to the right bone from the body armature. If you just joined a character's head on the body, take the root bone from the head armature and set its parent to the head bone from the body armature. Stuff like that.

Some of the weight painting may be broken, so when you pose joints on the armature some things will move incorrectly. I do not know how to get SPICA not to do that, and I haven't found any other 3DS model exporter that works with awakening that doesn't do that. Try exporting as an SMD instead. If neither dae format nor smd format works right, You're going to have to go in and re-do the broken weight painting manually. There is no shortcut to this. I am sorry.

You will also notice everymodel is split up into several meshes. If you need the character to be one singular manifold mesh, you're going to have to edit it to be that way yourself, in a way that does not destroy the UV maps. There is no shortcut to this. I am sorry.

Also: If it's Grima, be aware that their model is like 3000 blender units long. You will want to scale all their armatures down to 0.1 or something, because Blender does NOT play nice with stuff that big.

Anyway, textures.

In Awakening, a texture name ending in c0 is the base colours. A texture name ending in s0 is a specular map.

If the base colour file looks mostly transparent, that's because it's channel packed; the color and alpha channels contain two different textures. In Grima's case, the color channel is their actual colors, and the alpha channel appears to be an emission map.

So, go on into the shader editor, click on each mesh to open its material, and plug the textures into the right spots on basic shader node provided. Make sure to set the Alpha mode of the channel packed textures to say "Channel Packed". And you're good to go! You can see what the character looks like now!

If parts of textures should be transparent but aren't (like grima's eyes and wing feathers) you're going to have to figure out a solution for that yourself. I manually made my own alpha map for grima's eyes and wings, and it was Annoying but it was the only solution I could find.

Congratulations, you've done it!

You have successfully ripped a model from Awakening. Now go on and modify it however you need to; make better shaders for it, clean up the mesh and unwrap its UVs again for free plushie patterns, do silly posing shenanigans with it. Whatever your heart desires.

Good luck, dear reader, for you will probably need it.

#let me know if you ever make any plushies with this knowledge i'm so curious actually #fe awakening #i really ought to make a more comprehensive guide to this #it took me so long to compile these tools and methods from random forum posts from 7+ years ago and shit

Note

looks up at you with wide eyes hihihi

use this to ramble about anything you wanna talk about from any of your aus if you'd like ( or just what's on your mind !!! )

feel free to go crazy i like listening to people talk ( /nf /pos )

GAAAASP Awwweeee quq tyssmmm

Hmmm, think I'll use this to ramble about the existing characters in my DCA AU

For starters, it's not a TSAMS au and any TSAMS characters i draw in the au are purely for fun and not actually part of the au. Any characters with the same name aren't the characters from the show, they're my ver of OCs off the concepts of what they're named after.

Long post warning

The characters that'll be the focus of the au, especially when I get to making the ask comic for it, will be (in order of expected most focus- may change depending on how it goes)

Sun, Moon, Y/N, Sergio, the star triplets, Solar Eclipse, and Lunar Eclipse.

Y/N is the new manager-thing for the daycare, haven't figured out what the title is exactly but they'll be in charge of changes to the daycare and the attendants. They supervise the daycare and can choose to help out with daycare work themself but it's not what they're paid for. They'd be having a lot of personal time with Sun and Moon due to needing to see what may need upgrades or not as they're now in charge of finding out what renovations are needed for the daycare.

Sun is the tired, kinda grumpy, anxious, overdramatic, highly sassy and main worker of the daycare. For reasons the y/n knows yet, the lights are usually on and only dimmed slightly for nap times. Sun usually gets bombarded with children and their paints and games but is always smiling until the hours are over.

Moon is the reclusive, giggly, kind of playful, yet not as known about one. Something seems to be wrong, it's hard to say what but he doesn't like leaving the dark even if their new bodies won't change.

Sergio is the security guard who Y/N tends to see around often, mostly sleeping but they seem pretty well intentioned, just overworked by their own will. It kind of seems like he's been tasked with watching over you more than the mall but it seems to just be him keeping an eye out for you by choice.

The star triplets, scampering little things. They're like rats and kids themselves at the same time! They're like helpy but specifically for daycare work, dunno why Sun hates them so much. There's three as the title implies, Spica, Tauri, and Orion, and they have little star patches and buttons on them to let you know which order they come in. They're all very different.

Solar Eclipse? I think that's a bug honestly, don't know why the reprogrammed animatronics are having this issue, it's not even just the DCAs anymore.

Lunar Eclipse, the remains of the old model of the DCA. Nothing to it really, just some spare parts and the old code.

When you wake up one day and had the silly idea to give names for every virtual singer in Project Sekai (except the original and Aku no Taizai Series)

First Name Theme:

Leo/need: Constellation

MORE MORE JUMP!: Flowers

Vivid BAD SQUAD: Seasonal-themed names

Wonderlands x Showtime: Disney protagonists

25-ji, Nightcord de.: Member's center conflict or special skill

Surname Theme: Japanese writers, specifically from Bungou to Alchemist

And now with name meaning rambles:

Leo/Need

Miku: Virgo Ogawa

Virgo is the Western equivalent of the Babylonian "The Furrow" (ASBIN) and representing the goddess Shala and her ear of grain. One star in this constellation, Spica, retains this tradition as it is Latin for "ear of grain", one of the major products of the Mesopotamian furrow. For this reason the constellation became associated with fertility. Leo/need Miku's first event card is during "Singing Among the Cherry Blossoms" which mostly centers around Ichika in her attempt in being more confident. Starting that moment, Ichika flourish into the singer we know.

Ogawa is taken from Ogawa Bimei (小川未明), the writer of Red Candles and the Mermaid (赤い蝋��と人魚), The Moonlight and the Glasses (月夜と眼鏡), Wild Rose (野��薇), and A Telegraph Pole and A Weird Man (電信柱と妙な男).

Rin: Arye Miyazawa

Arye is another name for the Leo constellation, called by the Jews. The constellation Leo is the Western equivalent of the constellation was called the "Great Lion" (UR.GU.LA) in Babylonian astronomy. The bright star of the constellation, Regulus, is also knows as "the star that stands at the Lion's breast." and had distinctly regal associations, as it was known as the King Star. Leo/need Rin's first appearance is during "Unnamed Harmony" which centers around Saki's struggles in making song. However, as Shiho had said, Saki had been helping everyone by being herself and be the first one to figure out the feelings they want to say. Thus, making Saki the central "star" of the ban, similar to Regulus's status as "the star that stands at the Lion's breast."

Miyazawa is taken from Miyazawa Kenji (宮沢賢治), the writer of Be Not Defeated by the Rain (雨ニモマケズ), Night on the Galactic Railroad (銀河鉄道の夜), The Restaurant of Many Orders (注文の多い料理店) and The Wind Child Matasaburou (風の又三郎).

Len: Bishop Oda

Bishop is a masculine name of English and Greek origin, from the word epískopos, meaning "overseer". In Babylonian star catalogues, "The Overseer" or "The God Pabilsaĝ" (PA.BIL.SAG) has a Western quivalent; Sagittarius. Pabilsaĝ was a Mesopotamian god. Not much is known about his role in Mesopotamian religion, though it is known that he could be regarded as a bow-armed warrior deity, as a divine cadastral officer or a judge. He might have also been linked to healing, though this remains disputed. Leo/need Len's first appearance is during "Putting Feelings into Words" where Honami takes the role of "overseer", the first one who noticed Shiho doing things behind their back and overall being the one in charge in taking care to her bandmates.

Oda is taken from Oda Sakunosuke (織田作之助), the writer of Hurray for Marriage (夫婦善哉) and The Paradox of Youth (青春の逆説).

Luka: Inanna Kikuchi

Inanna or the "Lady of the Heaven" (A.NU.NI.TUM) is one of the Babylonian constellation that compossed the western Pisces, along with "the great swallow" (ŠIM.MAḪ). Inanna is an ancient Mesopotamian goddess of love, war, and fertility. She is also associated with beauty, sex, divine law, and political power. In Inanna's Descent into the Underworld, Inanna perceives that Dumuzid, her first and primary consort, has failed to properly mourn her death and, when she returns from the Underworld, allows the galla demons to drag him down to the Underworld as her replacement. Inanna later regrets this decision and decrees that Dumuzid will spend half the year in the Underworld, but the other half of the year with her, while his sister Geshtinanna stays in the Underworld in his place, thus resulting in the cycle of the seasons. Leo/need Luka's first event card is during "Stella After the Rain" that centers around Saki wanting to do more for the band, especially after being sick for a long time. The change of the season in Inanna Underworld myth can represent her unstable health.

Kikuchi is taken from Kikuchi Kan (菊池寛), the writer of Beyond Love and Hate (恩讐の彼方に) and Madame Pearl (真珠夫人).

Meiko: Aquarius Natsume

Aquarius is identified as "The Great One" (GU.LA) in the Babylonian star catalogues and represents the god Ea himself, who is commonly depicted holding an overflowing vase. In Old Babylonian astronomy, Ea was the ruler of the southernmost quarter of the Sun's path, the "Way of Ea", corresponding to the period of 45 days on either side of winter solstice. Aquarius was also associated with the destructive floods that the Babylonians regularly experienced, and thus was negatively connoted. Leo/Need Meiko's first appearance is during "Don't Let Doubts Hold You Back" which centers around Honami standing up for herself. Her pacifist nature can be seen as both good thing and bac thing, whether becoming the middle voice of the group of seen as two-faced, similar to the nature of water used in irigation or bringer of floods.

The Babylonian constellation is sacred to Papshukal and Ninshubur, both minor gods fulfilling the role of 'messenger to the gods'. Leo/need Kaito's first appearance is during "A Bright Future!!" which center around Ichika who wants to share her feelings through her lyrics, to be more confident in expressing through songs.

Aurora is also associated with the scientific term for the Northern Lights, Aurora Borealis. Auroras occur when charged particles (electrons and protons) collide with gases in Earth's upper atmosphere. Those collisions produce tiny flashes that fill the sky with colourful light. As billions of flashes occur in sequence, the auroras appear to move or " dance " in the sky. Niigo Rin's first appearance is during "Insatiable Pale Color", an Ena focus event. Aurora or the Nothern Lights is known for its beautiful colors which is in-line with Ena and her painting.

Penelope is a feminine name of Greek origin. It translates from its original tongue to "weaver" and can be traced as far back as the Ancient Greeks as depicted in Homer's Odyssey. Niigo Meiko's first appearance is during "Secret Distance", a Mizuki focus event. Mizuki is known to be the one with the cute appearance, especially in fashion, hence the "weaving" meaning. However, this can also reflected in their journey of weaving their identity and new relationship with the rest of the cast, starting with Niigo and Rui, and expanding to many.

In opera, arias mostly appear during a pause in dramatic action when a character is reflecting on their emotions.

Niigo Kaito's first appearance is during "Immiscible Discord", a Kanade focus event. While the event doesn't have an explicit "brilliance and energy" is does turn a new page in Mafuyu emotion, some more fiesty in Kaito.

Ishikawa is taken from Ishikawa Takuboku (石川啄木), the writer of A Handful of Sand (一握の砂) and Sad Toys (悲しき玩具).
