"Golden Deer is boring though it's lackluster, the characters aren't as strong as the other paths there's less conflict-"

You fool. You absolute buffon. Golden Deer is perfectly designed. Not only does it feed into the whole "alliance" theme well by having the characters still work together despite their differences and feelings well before hitting those A supports, but it's ALSO the only route that actually puts the focus on YOU the player. Or, rather, Byleth themself

Black Eagle is about whether or not you can agree to Edelgard's ideals of acceptable sacrifice and perspective that there's only 1 way to do things. The branching happens when you decide whether or not you agree, but ultimately it just explores opposing or agreeing with Edelgard. Anything more than that is really just incidental to that main concept, whether it's Crimson Flower or Silver Snow, the entire time you're focused either on helping Edelgard achieve her goals or you're focused on showing her how wrong she is alongside the Black Eagles who think it's their duty to correct Edelgard's wrongs (and I have a whole separate thing in regards to how the cast acts in Crimson Flower verses Silver Snow). It works really well for characters designed around an empire, a domineering form of government where (usually) a singular ruler determines the course and focus

Blue Lions is focused entirely on working on past issues and learning to bring yourself into the present, but it's done almost entirely through the cast more than the player. The Blue Lions themselves all have their own traumas and deep-seated past issues that hinder or help progress. While both Blue Lions and Black Eagles have a lot in common when it comes to traumatized characters and ideology, the ideology is front and center, while in Boue Lions, their interpersonal conflicts are front and center. This shows especially in the final (non romance) scene, where Dimitri decides that his personal attachment to Edelgard and past memories still matter, and he reaches out a hand, despite her immediately trying to kill him. It's fitting for a route designed around a kingdom, which is usually built entirely on interpersonal dealings between the ruling class

Golden Deer, however, is designed very differently. Unlike the other 3 routes, the player, or more specifically Byleth, is put as the driving force instead of the Lord. And this is actually what makes Golden Deer such a good route and one with the best ending of all of them. Claude has ideals, but he isn't a person who wants to force others to follow his path like Edelgard. Claude has lived a life of strife where his past motivates him, but it doesn't chain him the same way it does Dimitri. Instead, he works on understanding everyone around him and working together towards agreed upon goals, while taking on stuff that isn't agreed upon onto himself. But more than that, while all the Lord's value your opinion, Claude is the only one who actually takes what Byleth wants (rather than just what they think about specific matters) into consideration for his plans. Repeatedly you tell Seteth in Silver Snow that you don't want to kill Edelgard, but he pushes that you have no choice. Pretty much the entire first half of Azure Moon is Dimitri ignoring you. And in Crimson Flower, you've all but completely submitted to Edelgard's will with a couple of exceptions (which actually proves my point because it's specifically in regards to the Golden Deer because you can fight the entirety of Crimson Flower while sparing all of them except for Judith). But in Verdant Wind, Claude doesn't hide that he has a problem with the church and wants Rhea gone. In Golden Wildfire, without Byleth, he's more than happy to just get rid of her without a second thought. But when Byleth is the protagonist, he goes out of his way to accommodate your wants into his plans and goals. When you express as the player that you want to reason with Edelgard and ponder if you can't walk the same path, Claude agrees with you and says he'll make it happen if he can, with the other Golden Deer mostly agreeing. When that,can't happen you both lament the fact that Edelgard gave you no choice together. He makes finding Rhea a priority, mostly because as curious as he is in general, he wants to help you find out answers only Rhea can give you. And all of the Golden Deer do this to some extent, with each other but also with you as the player. I think Hilda and Marianne's A supports with Byleth show this best personally, but that's a personal opinion. And it just works so well for a route designed around the idea of an alliance, people coming together and agreeing to work towards a goal bigger than themselves

And that's not to say the other routes aren't as good as Golden Deer, they're all equally well written, but it just makes me sad when I see people giving the Golden Deer route grief just because the characters aren't the same when it does its theme so beautifully

Its always a pleasure to draw one of my favorite ships 😌 please check out their account for their quality content!

[vr-trash]

thought i should share this piece i did in february.. definitely one of my favorite drawings. [ quote is from grief lessons: four plays by euripides ]

[ ID: a 4 panel digital drawing of Dimitri and Edelgard from fire emblem: three houses at the battle at gronder field. Panel one shows a split of them facing each other, Edelgard on the left, in front of some pine trees, and Dimitri on the right, surrounded by fire. The text above it reads “Why does tragedy exist?”.

Panel two is a close up of Dimitri’s eyes, angry and warm from the fire around him. The text above it reads “Because you are full of rage.”

Panel three is another split panel of them facing each other, but this time with them both facing the viewer head on. Edelgard’s expression is stern but calm, whereas Dimitri’s is angry and vengeful. The text above it reads “Why are you full of rage?”

Panel four is a close up on Edelgard’s eyes, with her stern and calm expression remaining intact. Her eyes are focused on the battle ahead of her, and you can see the gemstone from her headdress between her eyebrows. The text above it reads “Because you are full of grief.”. End. ]

Name: Mathew Fernandez

Height: 5’6

Birthday: September 10th

Age:16

Magic: Fire magic

Occupation: Magic knight

Squad: Crimson lion kings

Birth place: Clover Kingdom, Noble realm

Background:

Mathew was born to Amor Fernandez and Cesar Fernandez. His biological mother died when he was ten due to an illness (more parents dying to sickness (ー_ー)) and his dad later remarried to Amara Bayo. After his dad remarried he gained two older sisters who loves him like he’s blood. Despite the love and care at home he still has his mental struggles.Even as when he was little he always had social struggles which resulted in him getting bullied and being outcasted from kids his age. As a result it took a heavy toll on him causing him to have clinical depression (his bio moms death also contributed to this) His dad however pushed him so he can do great things!(pushed him so far he became a magic Knight :D) Now he tries to get stronger so he can protect his family like how they protect him.

Personality:

Mathew used to be a happy child who always talked his parents ears off with his interest. Now he’s more gloomy and withdrawn. He tends to keep to himself and spends his time away from his squad mates. If someone does manage to befriend him, he starts to open about his interests(and I mean ALL interests.) He loves to discuss the topics he likes and would appreciate if someone listens to him!

Relationships:

Family:

Cesar Fernández

His loving dad (^·^) Though as he grew older he seemed to drift apart from him, Mathew still loves him with all his heart! His dad was the one to keep encouraging him to do great things and was always kind to him(his dad is kind to everybody 😆) Now he’s in the Magic Knights showing his dad that he is doing great things!

Amor Fernandez

His late mother. He always loved being around his mom. She had shared the same “nerdy” interest with him and is the reason why he likes most things now. He will always miss her and tends to visit her grave with his dad a lot.

Amara Bayo(last name now Fernandez)

His stepmom ヽ(≧∀≦)ﾉ! She’s so kindhearted and understanding! Not only that she’s also a great cook 😆! At first he was wary of her, but after a few weeks he came to trust her.

Njeri Bayo (now Fernandez)

His new sister! She’s older than him (and a lot stronger). She always spoils/cuddles him because he “always looks sad and is too adorable to not squeeze “. He loves his sister and always enjoys hanging out with her.

Ophira bayo(Fernandez)

His other new sister! She’s also older than him. She likes to test makeup and clothing items on him! Mathew doesn’t mind (as long as it’s not dresses or skirts) and sometimes looks forward to this. He loves her ability to style and goes to her whenever he wants new clothes. She also spoils him too ^_^!

Friends:

Levi Foudre

His first friend.. He messes with him a lot but he guesses that’s what friends do.. Other than that he doesn’t mind Levi. Levi takes him on adventures and sometimes he enjoys those trips. He’s is a good person to talk to even though Levi doesn’t open up much. Mathew doesn’t know why Levi wants to hang out with a sad blob like him but he’s not going to push him away like he does everyone else.

Yanira Pérez

A fun full of energy girl :D. He doesn’t know why she hangs out with him either. They totally have different personalities but somehow they fit together. They’re both usually put on missions together so that has contributed to their blooming relationship. Little by little Yanira has helped Mathew get out of his shell making him become more like his old self. Mathew doesn’t realize it but everyone around him notices his change of character. Isn’t she amazing 🤩!

Others:

Leopold vermillion

Mathew runs from him. Leo has WAY too much energy for him to handle. If Mathew does get caught, he’s dragged into training with him. Leo’s training methods are harsh so Mathew dreads it every time.

Fuegoleon Vermillion

Might be the only “normal “ vermillion. He seems nicer than most royals.. But he’s talks loud 😒. Other than that he’s a great leader and has, “really cool fire spells”-said Mathew probably. Though he doesn’t like getting hit on the head and scolded, Mathew still enjoys Fuego being his captain.

Mereoleona Vermilion

Oh no theres more of them .. and she’s crazy too ! She has managed to kidnap Mathew multiple times to bring him to dangerous magic regions (sadly). For some reason she sometimes focuses on him, and brings him to train with her… alone. She encourages him in her own harsh way. Mathew does appreciate this attention but he needs a break (TOT)!

Nozél Silva

Only met him because he visited Levi in his squad base. Definitely someone to avoid :|.

Trivia (^o^)／

He has been officially diagnosed with clinical depression and does take antidepressants(sometimes) whenever he doesn’t take his meds his dad (or Fuegoleon) will force him to.

His favorite color is green!! He loves everything green and some of his relaxing fits are in green. At first his shirts used to be a more vibrant green but as time went by even the green started to get darker. (It’s a representation of how his mindset grew dark overtime)

Totally did not fall for Yanira( he looks at her with love in his eyes)

He can speak English and Spanish! He grew up speaking Spanish mostly but his dad enrolled him some classes so he can learn English too.

His dad can only speak Spanish but he can understand English. (Idk how he got this far by nodding and saying a few words of English but he did) So Mathew is his translator for now. He even translates the same energy whenever his dad is mad!(￣▽￣)／

Sometimes has a thick Spanish accent. Levi of course makes fun of him when he hears it (Levi you are French u cannot be talking 😭🙏)

He sometimes sketches and has a stylized style . He loves things space related and posters about astronomy in his rooms. Even has tons of books about fantasy stories and even some sci fiction books.

Knows some Spanish dances! He dances with his family and Yanira! He tried to teach Levi but Levi could not pick up on it (despite him having a past with dancing(ー_ー))

His outfit was based off of Spanish traditional clothing. His sisters and step mom are African. He's also a converted oc.

His claymore is supposed to represent the colorful culture of Spain

Used to play soccer! He played a lot with his dad when he was younger. Because of Yanira he decided to pick it up again.

[growingingreenwood]

I'm watching "Black Clover" for the first time, and whenever Fuegoleon Vermillion comes on screen my brain is like. "Oh hey Maedhros. What are you doing here?"

And really, can I even blame it?

Long red hair? Check.

Oldest and tallest of his siblings? Check

(He also has a younger sister.)

Powerful beyond measure and more than slightly intimidating? Check.

Fucking GORGEOUS? Check.

Likelihood of burning to death incredibly dramatically? Very high.

The Crimson Lion Kings Mafia AU

Fuegoleon Vermillion: The Lion. Comes from a well-known mafia family, and inherited the leadership role of it since his older sister was far more interested in pursuing her own goals rather than governing an entire mafia, even though she comes around every once in a while. Fuegoleon has been in the business for his entire life, and is in rivalry with another old mafia of Clover, The Silver Eagles. However, it wasn’t the Silver Eagles that resulted into his “accident”, but rather he had come into possession of a jewel that held very little monetary value, but proved to be of significant symbolic importance to a person that was affiliated with William Vangeance, the Leader, for some time. This “accident” ended up costing him his arm, and putting him into a coma for 6 months, after which he was given a state of the art prosthetic arm, which functions, or at least they say, better than his ‘normal’ arm. It is rumoured that as a result of this incident, he became even more dangerous.

Solara Equinox: The Lioness. Is the first-born daughter of a CEO of a large foreign company that deals in international business. She was in Clover for a business trip, getting familiar with the local business scenery when she ran into Mereoleona at a gym, and they ended up becoming friends first outside of The Work. Later she fell in love with Fuegoleon, and decided to stay to aid the mafia empire, while still staying in contact with her family and the company, thus providing some aid to the Crimson Lion Kings when possible from a third party source. 

Mereoleona Vermillion: The Uncrowned. The older sister of Fuegoleon, who is more interested in solo missions than running a mafia. This, however, doesn’t make her any less dangerous. In fact, most agree that she is far more so. More reckless. More unpredictable. And she functions solely according to her own morals, whatever those might be. She has been rumoured to hold the greatest amount of devotion to her family though, but none has been brave enough to test that theory, not ever since The Incident. 

Leopold Vermillion: The Oath Taker. The youngest of the Vermillion family. He has vowed to become the next leader of the Vermillion Mafia and make his family proud of him. He is creative and quick-witted, managing to combine the combat styles of both of his siblings. He can be loud and explosive, but there is a calculated method in his madness. Because of his boisterous exterior, his opponents often underestimate him. Which is, more often than not, a lethal mistake in this business. 

Randal Luftair: The Wind. The right hand man of the Lion, who is extremely skilled in all types of long distance combat from fire-arms to throwing knives and crossbows. Has also been reported to be highly skilled in handling four wheeled motor vehicles. His personality is polite, calm and collected, but don’t let it fool you, because in combat he is swift as the wind.
