#support: panette

[stalwaria]

[ 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐄 ]: "Greetings Etie." Panette approaches her fellow redhead with her typical greeting. "Wait a minute... You appear... different. Did you change your workout routine? Your abdominal muscles are... What is everyone saying... marvelously... popping! I think."

𝐅𝐈𝐕𝐄 𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐒𝐄𝐒 ( still accepting! )

"Oh? Keen eye there, Panette."

Pride swells in Etie's chest as she flips her hair triumphantly, delighted to see someone notice the changes in her physique. It was something she had been keeping track of herself, ever since switching up her usual exercise routine.

Her muscle bulk still needed a bit of work... but she at least felt stronger, and that was the important thing. All the better to protect her friends with.

"Thanks. My abs are glorious, aren't they?" She grins proudly, "I've been trying to incorporate more Brodian strength exercises into my usual routine. Did you know that King Diamant runs over three mountain ranges? BEFORE breakfast?"

She shakes her head, tongue clicking. "I heard it from Jade once, and just about nearly lost my head! Those guys are on a completely different level... I'd love to be there, too."

Etie pauses as an idea comes to her, and she perks up, beaming. "Hey! Maybe we can run together! I've got strong legs, and you can swing an axe around like no one's business—I bet you can handle a mountain range or three."

[melusinezephyr]

a kiss between enemies who should be fighting (( pretend like this is from panette.... lmao ))

kissies :3 (accepting)

"Panette, doll, shouldn't you be on the other side of the battle?" Zephia glances up, setting aside the sword she had been scrapping absentmindly against the ground. The smaller woman is before her and Zephia grabs a strand of her long orange hair as she stands to circle around Panette like she's some sort of vulture waiting to swoop down upon her prey.

She kisses the ends of the girl's hair gently, smirking before picking her up into her arms like the little doll that she was. She plants another kiss on Panette's lips before abruptly dropping her on the ground.

"Run along now. Wouldn't want to get... caught, would you? Don't worry, I'll give you time to get away. But remember dear little doll, we are enemies."

[melusinezephyr]

Panette seems to be trying as much to ignore her presence just as Zephia is trying to ignore. Good. Perhaps they can come to understanding that neither of them want to put off their other companion and play nice for the time being. Whatever comes of this, they can have their differences later.

For now, it was best to just pretend like they didn't truly know each other at all. The act was good enough, even if the curious little tactican did seem to have sharp eyes.

"Very well, if you don't wish for a facade, young Kiran, then you will get exactly what you want. But be aware, my words hit as hard as my punches." She smiles, all teeth and as fake as can be. She towers over both of the kids, chest and heart guarded.

"Miss Panette already said my name, but you may call me Zephia. I am a professor for the Black Eagles class, but as already stated, I will be teaching this seminar." She shifts her feet quickly into a defensive stance, clearly well trained and honed over the many centuries of her life.

"You are welcome to attack me as a test of your skills. That should provide a good assessment of where to properly begin training."

@breidabloom

Contrary to what most might think, Rose isn't quite as breakable as he looks; being a swimmer gives him probably more muscle tone than one would expect in his little frame. If he's honest, he just wants to take this class so he can add to his self-defence options. Resourcefulness, he knows, is a necessity on the battlefield and one that can turn the tides if used well, and when all else fails, at least he'll have his fists.

His instructor and classmate for this seminar are... very colorful, in his opinion. The orangette wouldn't look too out of place at the harvest festival, for starters (not that he's judging, she pulls the style off well in his opinion), and the lady with the horns reminds him a lot of Freyja. She speaks, and it's obvious in her inflection and paralanguage that this woman is putting on a façade. No thank you, he'd rather deal with someone being genuine, even if he won't like their true colors anyway. Although she seems a little too close to what he remembers of Misuade for his comfort, the teen holds out a little hope that the lady won't be that much like his birth mother.

'First, please drop the act,' he writes. 'It makes me uncomfortable when you're not being yourself. Second, we might want to introduce ourselves. You may call me Kiran; it's nice to meet you both.' The ravenette smiles and waves at the orange-haired student. He tilts his head and taps the end of his pen against his cheek in thought, then continues, 'And third, I think we should probably start with the basics, like how to throw a punch safely without breaking or damaging your fingers—unless you feel we can skip ahead?' Of course, he would prefer not to, but who knows what this instructor has planned?

He finds he's a bit grateful for the orangette's presence, otherwise he would have a more difficult time being on his own with the lady. She doesn't show the same behaviours indicative of his possessed Heroes, but her aura kind of screams "cultist" to him, like Veld. (The Loptous follower, not the Turk director Sloane mentioned to him once.) Rose resolves to watch her and see whether she'll be someone trustworthy after all... the other student he'll likely just end up worrying about whether he'll see her often enough to be friends with her.

Okay so, she’s never seen a ghost, but this may come close. Panette stops in her tracks. Blinks. This, this is real, right? To be sure, it is not an “a real live emblem is here” kind of awestruck but more of a…

“What the hell are you doing here?!” Her voice bounces off the stone and across the hallway, sure to garner some looks in her direction. Remembering where and how she tries to present herself, she clears her throat and places both hands clasped in front of her in a more docile manner. Schooling her tone back to neutral to draw attention off her, she says, “Ahem. That is what I heard that… that bandit say when I encountered him again. Small town.”

She wears content now with a satisfied and pleasant smile as people shook their heads and moved along. That expression quickly falls as she strides toward the gaudy bowed freak. 

“I don’t know what kind of trick you have going on here but…!” She begins, but fails to finish what she started. A rare occurrence indeed. Is there a real reason to be upset with her being here? Maybe, maybe not.

Admittedly, she did feel a twinge of pity for the girl in front of her, maybe even empathy, moments before she.. Well. But that doesn’t explain why she’s here. Panette releases an annoyed huff of air and crosses her arms. “Hmph… I guess it’s ain’t none of my business really… Carry on.”

She hears the girl far before she sees her. Marni is no stranger to being sworn at and generally speaking, she tended to deserve it. There's not really much of a point in pulling punches with someone who isn't going to do the same. What is strange is hearing someone trying to soften their words after swearing at her. Most didn't bother.

This girl… wasn't she one of Solm's royal knights? The one with the goofy outfit and the weird face paint? Marni had threatened to kill their queen and splatter her blood all over the palace, so the yelling definitely tracked. This one was, indeed, totally on her. She did do that and only felt a little bad.

Marni rests her knuckles on her hips, all bravado and conceit.

"Surprised? Guess I'm harder to kill than everyone thought!" Marni grins, leaning forward. "If you want me dead, you gotta try way harder than that!"

(That's not true. She remembers how that knife felt in her gut. She remembers getting lightheaded as blood gushed out of her wound. She understands just as little as everyone else how she might still be alive.)

This isn't the island Marni had been on for a whole month. She's back on monastery grounds now, which means she can no longer act as recklessly as she had. The walls here have eyes and ears; she can be sure that if she steps out of line here, everyone and their mother will know about it.

So instead of taunting further, she steps back.

"I'm not gonna get into any fights where Lady Veyle can see, so as long as you mind your business, I'll mind mine."

...Probably.

[emblemxeno]

Tbh I don’t quite understand the sentiment that Engage doesn’t have good or any worldbuilding at all, like tf is up with that. First instinct would be “them 3H fans again!!!” but other long time FE fans also consider it lackluster and idk I don’t agree. 

Each of the four nations all have surface level distinctions, but in-depth internal layers, such as...

Firene values peace, gratitude, and its harvests, tea, and medicine. It’s the kingdom that would usually be taken advantage of, but the reason it maintains its peace is through aggressive policy done by its leaders, currently by Eve and very notably followed up by Celine. Medicine and health is taken seriously cuz the last king died from an illness, the same illness which the current and well loved prince is suffering from. The Firene retainers are all nobles sans Louis, who is noted to have gotten his role because of his domestic skill in tandem with his martial prowess; this implies a sort of status quo, one that’s maintained to keep things peaceful, though not overly enforced to the point of oppression. 

Brodia is wealthy and martially strong, yet prideful. The nobility is noted to take advantage of the constant wars on Elusia, as it fuels economy, which in turn fuels more wars. The wars against Elusia themselves are partly an extension of Brodia’s pride: aggressive expansion done in the name of “keeping a wicked nation in check” and to further Brodian way of life. Because strength is valued, the Brodian retainers are all common folk who proved themselves, sans Citrinne, who develops a complex about her strength because of it. Mining is the primary income source after warfare, something that Diamant wants to shift towards to the dismay of war benefitting nobles.

Elusia is the kingdom of knowledge, and as such, is the only nation noted to have a major place of education. The arts and the leisure seems to be highly valued here, due to an author, an artist, and a native to a hot spring centered village being recruited. Retainers, like in Brodia, are decided by strength or capability; after all, you don’t often have a Crown Princess’s servants be a former assassin and a former prince without skill and knowledge being paramount in the decision making. Hyacinth has too much love to go around, and so has a wife as well as many mistresses, and many children as a result. Knowledge begets avenues of possibility, which means one can use said knowledge to selfishly get ahead (such as the Elusian court where backstabbing and fake platitudes to appeal to the King and Queen were common place) or to benefit the world around you (Hortensia using her intellect and talent to help war victims, and Ivy utilizing Elusia’s creativity and innovative practices to better the public’s wellbeing). Seeking knowledge, however, can entrench one in dark practices, which is why the worship of the Fell Dragon went from notable to beligerent and dangerous.

Solm values freedom, and is notable for being a strict matriarchy. Only women take the throne, Merrin’s village is only ran by women, and Panette and Pandreo’s family church was headed by their mother. While open minded and easy going on the surface, Solm having its own elite vigilante group and having spies throughout the continent means that the queendom takes measures to ensure freedom very seriously; these actions are similar to Firene, which is brought up in Celine and Fogado’s support, and the two themselves are indicative of each of their nations cultures. Unlike the other nations, there’s no strict basis for who becomes a retainer, since you have a chef, a priest, and two runaways. The people of Solm live their lives how they want, and its culture is more open to entertainment and large gatherings than other nations.

And this is just what I whipped together from memory. I’ve no doubt that there’s tons of other minute details that, when pieced together, form more descriptions of the nations as a whole. This, to me, is on part with how the GBA games and Echoes built their worlds. Very solid in depth readings, with surface level broad strokes to entice the player in should they choose to put more hours into learning the ins and outs. And that isn’t even getting into the artistic directions of each nation and the characters (like outfits, seasonal representations, food/ingredients, etc.). Hell, the entirety of Elyos is shaped like a ring for crying out loud! It’s screaming “yeah the rings are this central to this world, enjoy your stay.”

I like that. Engage knows what it is and what it wants to present. No more, no less.

Someone - or something - has been disturbing graves in the monastery’s graveyard. The knights are busy with preparations for the monastery’s defenses, and so patrols to the site have not been a priority. If you have some rare free time, would you bring peace back to these departed souls? Then find the culprit, even if it means having to spend the night surrounded by the dead.

When she looks up at the sky, she wonders if it will rain soon. The sun becomes obscured with each passing cloud, bringing itself ever-so distant from her grasp. Then, she looks down. It is better (a must, rather) to stare at reality than become absorbed in the clouds. She knows this. Should a raindrop happen to fall, she will accept it.

One step, two steps, three downwards. On the last one, the side of her shoe brushed against a fallen petal. Céline follows its trail, only to find a broken bouquet off in the graveyard's corner. The princess bends forward, picking up a flower void of color. Her eyes close momentarily, fingers wrapped tightly around its stem. She hardly knows for certain what might have occurred, but she is confident in one thing— The mess that now filled this premise will grant no peace.

Even so, she places it back on the ground in a neat pile. She cannot whisk away the rubble and unruliness of the graveyard if she keeps holding onto it. It is the sound of a stride that causes Céline to whirl around. At first, perhaps it is oncoming rain. No, that sound is much more distinct. There is the familiar silhouette of Panette, prompting Céline to approach first.

"My greetings, Panette." She pauses, turning back around towards the grounds. "A saddening sight, is it not?"

REBLOGS ON THIS POST ARE EXTREMELY APPRECIATED! THANK YOU FOR ANY AND ALL SUPPORT!

[real-fire-emblem-takes]

Panette and Pandreo's support about coming to terms about how abusive their parents were and how they had to grow as people so it no longer hurt them affected me on an emotional level

.

[kcvagabond]

do you have a fav rarepair right now?

Replaying through FE Engage again made me ship Amber and Panette. Their supports are delightful and actually end with them going on a date! It's a shame I can't make them get married for real lol

[stalwaria]

“All right, here goes nothin’,” Panette mutters with a wicked grin on her face. 

One must always be prepared for combat, this much is true where she had grown up and maybe less now here at the academy, but it wouldn’t hurt to have a little extra… practice. Granted, being sneaky is not Panette’s forte from the way she dresses, speaks, and even down to her weapon choice. The axe is strong but slow and even her fists, well there is no subtlety there. 

She has been working to improve on it, though this is her first attempt at it really. Presently, she hides in a large bush waiting for her subject to pass by. So far she has been masterfully concealed as no one seems to pay her any mind, or they just do not care.

She stays on her toes until she spots another shade of red. Wait… Wait… Panette leaps out, leaving a flutter of leaves in her wake and jumps in front of her. “Hah!” Feeling satisfied with her performance, her lips curl into a small smile. “Greetings Etie, was that enough to affright you? I have been working on my sneaking skills.”

There's a nondescript hum on Etie's lips as she walks through the courtyard, rhythmically tapping a pair of gardening shears against her palm. Today was her turn to volunteer in the greenhouse, and the thought of tending to so many varieties of flowers and plants had her in a pretty good mood.

Unbeknownst to her, something was about to dampen that mood...

In the form of a pale, ghoulish girl, leaping from the bushes—the combination of vibrant makeup, tattered patches of colorful cloth edging her skirts, and golden eyes framed by fiery hair, all melded together for one striking jumpscare. And for Etie's part? She was certainly scared.

Etie whips out the gardening shears, waving them threateningly at the girl as she flails into a defensive stance. "WAAAAAH... hhhya... ya... yah...?"

She pauses as recognition dawns, shears hanging limp in her hand. "...Wait, Panette? Geez! Well, it sure did work! Couldn't you have greeted me in a more—I don't know—conventional way!? A 'hello' would have sufficed!"

A short huff, as her expression slowly softens. "Buuut... conventional isn't how we redheads do things, is it? It's why we get along so well." She grins, "Sneaking practice aside, it's great to see you again. I had no idea you were coming! I'd show you around, but I've got a date with a few flowers..." She gestures to the greenhouse in the distance, "Unless you'd like to join me?"

I LOVE ready quotes. I feel like they are one of the biggest ways you interact with the characters, so they really influence how I feel about them. Here are some of my favorites, in completely random order. (Would love to know other people's favorites, too!)

Ignatz- "Ready, anytime!"

Seteth- "Guide me well."

Constance (dark)- "Sally forth!" (Unrelated, this quote is why Constance is my husband's favorite character.)

Ashe- "I'll give it my all!", "I'd be honored."

Sylvain- "I'm on it.", "What's the plan?"

Felix: "I'll go."

Dimitri- "I'll cut through!", "I'll comply."

Claude (injured)- "I'm hurt, but I'm with you."

Marianne (post ts, injured)- "I won't run!"

Byleth: "Stay focused." (I have written this line into a ridiculous number of fics.), (injured) "I may not survive..."

Caspar- "Put me in there!" (which always makes me want to sing "put me in, coach".)

Lindhardt- "I'm awake..."

Bernie (injured)- "I'm gonna haunt you if I die."

Hubert- "I'll cut a bloody path."

Edelgard- "I WILL prevail."

Jeritza- "Under-stood." (It's the delivery with this one.)

Manuela- "There's no stopping me!"

Yuri (injured)- "All in."

Balthus (injured): "Still the king!"

Bonus ones I really like from other games:

Kagetsu: "Come and face me!" (I think this was a solid 75% of why I S supported him. The delivery is amazing.)

Mae (injured): "Sure, I'm still hyper. Let's GO!"

Gray: "COME AT ME, FOOLS!"

Kamui: "Feelin' good."

Pandreo: *howls*

Panette: "Verily."

Alfred: "For you, anything."

[vanquishedvaliant]

Also as usual for Fire Emblem, Treehouse's localization's weird mix of dartboard change and scalpel precision homophobic and 'family friendly' censorship struck again in numerous places and reading the japanese scripts side by side with the english ones is really funny

Like, whatever, the morality police can make an argument about underage characters or whatever but you've also got them pruning romantic sentiment randomly out of the women's support conservations

And in a lot of cases some just truly bizarre VA casting and scripting choices that fail to preserve the original intentions of the character

Take Etie, for example. If all you play is the english localization you think she's a brash tomboy who love weightlifting and her gruff boyish voice pushes that angle, but...

Turn on the japanese audio and listen to how she speaks and you realize that Etie isn't a tomboy at all, she's a ludicrously prissy ojou-sama noblewoman who uses lead-lined teacups as dumbells because she's obsessed with bodybuilding despite that.

It's not tomboy, it's extreme gap moe.

This comes out especially harsh in her support with Panette where the entire joke is that the two of them both speak in outwardly dainty noblewoman mannerisms despite each having their own gap about it.

I love Etie, but she's a one-joke character and that joke doesn't even fully survive the translation!

Continually frustrating because in some places there's some great choices and some creative work with wordplay here and there, but you can never trust the story you're reading because they have proven time and time again that they will make misleading mistakes and arbitrary censorship choices.

Favorite Fire Emblem class? Armor Knight

If you were a Fire Emblem character, what would be your class and stats? Would you be playable?

How do you pronounce TOA? 🤔(separate letters, to-ah, other?): T-O-A, I will not accept any other pronouncations. 

[machiot]

Marni used to command armies, you know. Big ones, too. People used to tremble when they saw her coming, axe in hand and armor clanking. She used to be someone. When was the last time she got assigned thankless manual labor like this? Why should she care whether or not these trees are invasive or whatever?

(She cares because she'd gotten the order from someone who thanked her nonstop when they'd realized she knew how to swing an axe, that's why.)

As much as axes can be a weapon to cutting down your enemies, they're also just fairly mundane tools for cutting down trees.

Thwak!

Every hit of her axe against the tree sends a cascade of pretty purple petals raining down, carpeting the ground. She'd asked earlier, but apparently they'd send in mages later to burn all of the fallen flowers, so she should just leave them alone for now. Fine, sure, whatever, sounds fantastic.

The problem here, though, is that there are so many petals falling that it's hard to see. Another volunteer has showed up and Marni can barely even see them! If she really squints, she can spot ginger hair and... is that face paint?

"It's you again! With the clo- HEUGH." Marni coughs out a petal. "Aw, gross! A flower got in my mouth! What are you gonna do about this?"

@atefirom

foxglove tree? why isn't it called a houndglove tree?

anniversary 2024: axe +1

Do you have characters or types of characters you don’t think you can handle writing, but wish you could? Antagonists and lackadaisical/carefree characters

What kind of scenes, situations etc do you believe you enjoy writing the most? (If you filled this out last year, has this changed in any way?) There's not a particular type of scene/situation I enjoy the most, I like a nice and healthy balance! Whatever strikes my mood at the right time.

Do you have any scenario in mind for your muse(s) that gets you thinking “man I hope I get to write this one day”? I did for some past muses, but I think now I'm just kind of seeing where things take me/

Favorite TOA-related memories? Any point when I wrote Lilina, I think she had the most event participation and I just have a lot of memories and connections I enjoyed with her

Present or past tense? I generally go for present these days, but I try to vary the tense depending on the situation.

Normal size text, small text, no preference? I usually use small text, but I don't have a preference and will adjust based on writing partner

Got any potential muse delusions to share? 😉I've given Framme and Eir a thought or maybe a rerun from my past

001: for your ship of ships, Yunaka x Alear, and 002: for Timerra

Alear/Yunaka

when I started shipping it if I did:

I started genuinely shipping them when I played Engage for myself, because that's when I realized that oh. Oh this works so well.

my thoughts:

OHHHH THEY'RE SO GOOD. The parallels are immaculate, their dynamic is super silly in lighthearted moments and so heavy during more serious ones, they give hopelessly in love vibes and, you know. I adore them platonically too, obviously.

What makes me happy about them:

Yunaka finding love and support from her god of all people, someone who she always thought would judge her to be irredemable and instead adores her, and Alear trusting Yunaka despite her being expicitly sketchy being the first step in their self-forgiveness. When you think about it, Yunaka's background is basically an abridged version of Alear's.

Just, idk. They make me so happy!

What makes me sad about them:

Oh boy. Their pasts and their trauma. Yunaka's constant self-loathing and fear of her past coming to the surface and impostor syndrome and thinking Alear's too good for her. Alear's discomfort at being treated like a god and feeling alienated because of it. Past Alear. Just... Past Alear.

things done in fanfic that annoys me:

I don't think I've found anything that actually annoys me, to be honest. Which is good.

things I look for in fanfic:

Both the fluff with them being silly together (pre and post relationship) but also the angst of them dealing and opening up about their trauma.

That good hurt/comfort stuff 🥲

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: 

For Yunaka I'd say Citrinne, since you know. "Enemies" to lovers is always fun

For Alear I don't have any other strong ships, so I'd say I'm fine with almost everyone. Except the kids and the rest of their family, obviously. And Lindon.

My happily ever after for them:

Them being happily married and obnoxiously in love while they watch over Elyos together 💕

who is the big spoon/little spoon:

They switch! I think they're very into cuddles, generally :3

what is their favorite non-sexual activity:

Yunaka infodumping about weapons with the detail of an MGS codec call while Alear listens to her with heart eyes ❤️

Timerra

How I feel about this character: 

Love her! She's such a good mix of silly and serious, she can be really goofy but also she's one of the smartest people of the cast and will not fuck around with people she deems a threat, but she's super chill with anyone else!

If I had to describe her in a word, it would be "Fun".

All the people I ship romantically with this character: 

Ivy's a fun one (thanks Koto), but her, Merrin and Panette are so polycule shaped. Oh, and Nel too!

My non-romantic OTP for this character: 

Veyle! The fact she goes from being among the most skeptical about her to one of the most supportive once she actually joins for good is so interesting, and also the contrast between someone so carefree (on the surface at least) and someone who feels ashamed to even be alive. Just, idk. I really like them.

I think she'd be besties with Alfred too, wish they had supports together.

My unpopular opinion about this character: 

She's smarter than she looks, her voice is great and she's a lot more interesting than people give her credit for.

Also the fact the Solm siblings are the most overlooked ones of the cast is... sus, to say the least. This fandom is not escaping the racism allegations.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon:

I wish she was more involved in the story. Compared to the other roylas she and Fogado don't go through much that directly involves them, you know?

Oh also while I'm not sure I would actually want it in canon, recruitable Fell Timerra would've been cool.

my OTP:

See above. I don't feel particularly strongly about any of them to declare them my OTP, so...

my cross over ship:

If FEH counts as a crossover, she and Sharena would hit it off really well. Azura too would be fun! OH, and Rinea too. Just thought of it👀

As for other stuff, hm...

BOTW Zelda would be interesting, she and Daisy would be cute and, hm. Her and Aqua would be the crackiest of crack pairs but, you know. It could work!

I dunno, I'm just throwing stuff around at this point.

a headcanon fact:

She absolutely brings Fauxgado with her during battles and on official business. Nobody's going to stop her from bringing her poorly done youngest brother along!
