i miss them

[silverskye13]

I don't remember if it's been asked before or not, but how canon are the writing blorbs you post on here, for rns?

are they canon, not canon, or like, canon but just a little left?

[Wiggles my hand back and forth in a so-so gesture]

Canon but a little to the left. To me they're like filler episodes in TV/Anime.

Is it canon in that, were the characters actually in this situation, this is how they would reasonably react? Yes.

Is it canon in that you can take their characterization and growth seriously, as a microcosm of what's happening in the main story? Yes.

Is it canon in that it could neatly fit into the main story without destroying the established timeline? Absolutely not.

my hc about kiran's power level and how magic works in feverse

tl;dr its been growing for a while in the main story now. also: non-consensual breastmead feeding.

my hc about how power and magic works in the FEverse involving kiran is. always whirling. rn its combining a lot of what is found in FFXIV's magic system so if this sounds familiar at all then, yeah i plucked it out from there bc its the easiest to follow

so to start, i assume that magic is everything in the FEverse. its a lot like oxygen and hydrocarbon compounds, except this element as different aspects and can be freely manipulated provided there is the know-how. essentially, magic requires 2 things to work. a fuel source, and a converter.

feverse also has the concept of souls, which are often describe as "quintessence", this vague mass blorb of something related to magic in some way. it can be used for fuel, it has some inherent consciousness or autonomy to it which can be manipulated and corrupted. it is also very very potent, as some fans in the feverse have theroycrafted (shoutout to @felikatze and @ro-botany) exactly how much fuel it provides exactly

and while idk, im just going to assume a metric shitton, which isnt any proper measurement but it'll do for this post.

fuel sources

so magic is literally everywhere. as per reinhardt's quote, magic is everything. but because FE isn't particularly interested in establishing a proper explanation of a magic system and instead opts to tell stories about wars, we're left with scraps to ponder over.

but! we do understand in the FE verse that magic is inherently tied to quintessence, which functions as a life-force. its even stated that this force can be used by magic users upon ones death, so yippee

in blazing blade, nergal fucked around with this and extended his lifespan and made morhps to further harvest more quintessence by luring more dragons into his world to kill and take theirs.

in awakening, grima was awakened by sacrificing the grimleals. possibly like a lot of grimleals because grima got mega big.

in engage, lumera was able to pour her lifeforce into alear to keep them alive, and to turn them from a fell to a divine dragon.

so all in all, there is a consistency in dragons having the biggest pool of quintessence and humans having significantly lower, possibly.

if we examine the feverse with the lens of shinto buddhism, this further tracks with the order of how the universes should be as dragons are considered more gods than humans.

theres also a decent possibility that souls just dissipate back into aegir or magic after some time bc otherwise the world would be too overpopulated by souls of the dead.

converter

magic is evidently an academic thing in the feverse.

meaning, there are ways to manipulate magic in highly specific ways. i've already mentioned the soul focus aspect of it, which is considered a taboo type of magic so evidently no one really wants to fuck around with that. reasons could be that it's highly unethical, or very easy to corrupt the self, or have the spells backfire in spectacular fashions. (check nyx from fates.)

...unless they're nergal or eitri.

magic users in fe uses a tool to help with the magic casting and conversion process. due to gameplay reasons, theres 2 main aspects that goes into how effective an offensive magic can be.

1st is the talent of the user. the magic stat.

2nd is the tool of the user. the various tomes found across all fe in all worlds. magic books, basically.

in this verse, not everyone is born with the talent to use magic. some have it better than others; some are pure geniuses at it from birth while others might be outright unable to cast magic.

we have talented cases like soren who is so talented that he successfully was taught magic before he even learned to speak. (granted that sage had... issues but jfc)

and cases like ike, chrom and alfred who cant for the life of them manipulate magic decently. while ike and chrom cannot be reclassed so they use magic, in alfred's case his magic in engage is so terrible the only reason the players would reclass him would be for the cosplay

these characters go around smacking their enemies with their physical weapons. they are very good at that too, and can take physical hits like no problem. they're tough as heck too, and so for all intents and purposes are the closest to people like us. people who cant manipulate magic, and which magic doesnt exist for us.

but.... there is one caveat.

the skills, Sol and Aether exists.

for those who have only ever played FEH, Aether in mainline FE functions very similarly to Aether in the gacha game. when it activates, both skill sucks the lifeforce out of the victim to the user. Aether has the added effect of ignoring physical defense.

in effect, what these skills are would be piercing damage ignoring the laws of physics. basically, physical magic skills.

further, here's a funny thing about fire emblem growth stats: there exists no playable characters with a 0 mag growth in extreme theory. if we assume re-classing to absolutely any classes to being theoretically possible for everyone, then even characters with 0 mag growth gets a mag growth boost past 0. this is the case for certain engage characters such as jade, etie and boucheron.

in FEH, characters often get classed to just about anything that seems fun. if we run with this logic for a sec, it implies strongly that everyone in FEverse are inherently attuned to magic even if they might not be able to manipulate it.

meaning, everyone has the ability to convert magic into something, no matter how small and insignificant.

okay now time to talk about kiran. its fever dream time so if you'd like to hop off at any point going forwards feel free.

kiran's power level

its. 0. at least in the beginning

ive always operated with the idea of kiran being the most average person of 2015s and onward with enough know-how to keep their head down from the context clues of what is given in FEH. they dont complain, follow alfonse and gang everywhere and is said to be super nice from all the lv 40 confessions and look

i dont buy it. i dont buy the idea that kiran is a complete blank slate in part also bc i dont view my silent protags that way. this is true in armored core and ffxiv and a lot more.

what i think is more likely is that we are looking at someone who has been chewed up by the modern day capitalism machine. someone who went through stressful school, possibly cram school and has a knack for surviving highly irrational and stressful situations.

bc the world of FEH as the summoner is highly irrational and stressful. i mean, invasions, a whole country in the middle of lava lakes, big gods, gods coming in to mess with them and their friends, characters turned people, time loops, etc etc. thats highly irrational and stressful. just like the rubrics and stressed professors who makes no fucking sense

anyway.

the average person, at least in japan, would have little to no reason to be ready at peak combat performance, which means muscles and reflexes are going to be rock bottom. maybe some martial art classes, but i doubt these are truly enough for real combat.

they would have no experience with any weapons too, except for maybe the gun. at bare minimum, gun related games are a thing and can be found in arcades and carnivals. House of the Dead and Time Crisis are very much a thing.

further to that, our world doesn't have magic. we cant cast it, we dont believe it exists, we cant prove it does. even if we have computers.

we cannot directly covert magic into functions ourselves. the FEverse characters can.

ill also get back into their growth as a fighter in a sec, but gotta segue into....

breidablik's power upping

kiran also doesnt show themself at all to be able to manipulate magic without the aid of breidablik throughout the entirety of feh.

so much so that mage characters dont talk to them about the specifics of academic magic at all, and are instead to be offered physical training by various characters.

which means their magic ability is 0. (again, at least in the beginning)

it is only until book 3 that kiran gets the Dire Breidablik indirectly from a dead kiran of another world that things begin to change.

the reason Dire Breidablik can even cause tangible damage is because *breathes* its being powered by a whole world worth of dead souls to be able to pew pew. (life force again! yippee!)

from this point onwards, breidablik and kiran seem to receive gradual power ups as the game goes on. even their ability to summon stronger heroes and more in the form of pairs clearly increases. the mechanics of this is a big mystery but assuming powercreep is canonical, this is significant.

this can be most easily seen by the first summonable god character in the form of Duma; this doesnt happen until 2019 jan, 2 whole years after FEH's debut. duo heroes 1st came as duo halloween hector in 2019 dec.

and then we have characters commenting on how their getting stronger might be the influence of kiran. see: thor.

and more events happen throughout which seems to power up breidablik so much that now it can straight up obliterate a god responsible for a time loop. geezums.

kiran's growth... or lack thereof

but even then, physically they are still lacking compared to these heroes and soldiers whose job is to literally be physically capable to fight. i mean, to even train up to a point where they might be able to keep up running with them takes time.

in fact, the first time kiran is able to fight toe to toe with anyone is with FEH 4.0, where the uhh 55th Mjölnir's Strike happened, released back in feb of 2021. meaning this was a few chapters into book 5, so much much later after Dire Breidablik was obtained back in book 3.

i also SWEAR there was a part where Thorr appeared and said something about buffing Kiran up so they can actually fight for this game mode, but i cant find any traces of it. hope im not hallucinating it, this was 3 years ago now ugh. alas.

meaning, even with Dire Breidablik, or a Breidablik powerful enough to buff the user, Kiran is still so incapable that canonically the OP weapon cant justify them staying safe enough on the front lines. even as of book 8 kiran is always implied to be hanging behind the front lines somewhere staying as safe as they reasonably can.

evidence for this? book vi's cinematic here. check out how they are strong enough to catch a falling ash but still having their amazing shitty footwork at 0:58. (theres no footwork. kiran cant fight for shit. id like to remind you again that the heroes are very very capable fighters in their own right!)

and all of this while discounting the fact that those in FEverse might be a bit superhuman. check out this cinematic of book vii at 0:42 where alfonse launches himself to a platform behind Gullveig like goddamn spiderman

and meanwhile kiran at best just pew pews and leaps.

and with the angle so goddamn low here, that leap looks really, really pathetic. this isnt a superhero leap, its someone so nonathletic attempting to look cool distracting big snake lady but succeeding in sending themself on a trajectory face first to the ground after 1 pew.

all in all, this makes kiran terrible at fighting.

and then theres. book 8 midpoint cutscene.

with thiiiis scene.

in case you didnt catch whats going on, that lady is heidrun. what does heidrun do? WELL.

cough

!!BREASTMEAD FEEDING IN FEH CONFIRMED!!

might be non-consensual iunno. ...look i dont fucking write FEH. i just interpret the shit that appears in front of me. i dont know whats going on at intsys either. are they under attack? having a mass fever dream? snorting lines of pulverized yens? desperate to break free from the shackles of nintendo? ran out of milk? dont work for them i dont fucking know.

anyway. back on topic. this means this is yet another +1 to whatever is going on with kiran and breidablik. but to kiran specifically, and this is interesting.

bc so far, all the power they are gaining is from breidablik and breidablik alone. their body as far as i can tell, is not capable to fight or convert magic into functions in any degree on its own.

essentially they're like an alien in a mystery planet. where feverse is made of magic element compounds, they alone are the singular hydrocarbon being.

so if the mead does anything to kiran's body we might be able to see going forwards.

all thanks to breastmead. thank you heidrun. thank you feh writers. wtf am i supposed to feel about this i dont fucking know. ill just curse the person reading this. so i wrote this.

thanks for reading.

Part 1 Headcanons for MySt: Ro'Meaves

Headcanons for MyStreet So I fucking love giving these guys headcanons, and I was originally just going to do all of my favorite neglected blorbs, but I decided to split it up into people that hang out/family. So first up is the Ro'Meaves and their problems. Vylad is travelling the world rn, good for him. He comes home every once in a while and when he does, Garroth bursts into tears because the last time he saw him was two Christmases ago and he can't stand the thought of Vylad leaving again. Vylad feels uber guilty about staying over at his brothers' places, so he decides to sleep on the streets half of the time. Sometimes the Shadow Knights (household) finds him and takes him in for the night. Zane, being on neighborhood watch, sometimes finds him too. Vylad went no-contact with his parents a long time ago, but he has tried to go no-contact with Garroth and Zane, but he continues to message them back when his phone is on. He has stayed in many homes across the world and kinda considers the Shadow Knight household to be his "American Home". He doesn't want to settle down because he doesn't feel as if he belongs somewhere. Zane doesn't feel like he needs to connect with Vylad or Garroth because he constantly was ignored and thought he was going to fail from the beginning. His mom really does love him and tries to support him, but Zane cannot stand the "I support you, but" from her. He cut off Garte a long time ago, because he never truly loved him as a son. Zane also does hang out with Laurance, but it's only to go to Pride and watch Drag Race or other Drag related things. Laurance is a Drag queen, so Zane goes to a few of his gigs here and there. Zane is a witch, who he works with if anyone, I'm not exactly sure, but maybe Loki? He knows he won't ever be a witch like Lucinda, but she's a great help when she's awake-- Although Zane says he hates Garroth, and to a degree he does, at the end he does care for him. He has a hard time accepting Vylad, especially when Vylad isn't around half of the time. Zane is also the only one who knows that Aaron is a gorgon. Garroth is trans, and his parents only accepted him because it would give Garte a first born son. Garroth has kept this fact hidden from everyone on the street aside from Zane (bc they're brothers? He would know). He decided that he didn't want to deal with being apart of the LGBTQ community when he was young, so he just pretended his feelings about sexuality didn't exist. He continues to push off Laurance and his advances because he doesn't want to admit to his parents that he might not be the straightest man in the world. When he got top surgery, he had to ask Zane to pick him up because he forgot to ask someone else and he didn't want to get found out, so out of whatever kindness Zane has in his heart, he picked up his loopy-ass brother and took him home and took care of him. Garroth is the only one of the brothers that actually tries to care about his parents, but he knows that some day he will probably have to let them go. All of the brothers went to a private school for a long while, eventually were homeschooled for a bit, and finally when they all reached Freshman level education, they could choose to go a public school, private, or continued to be homeschooled. When they all had the chance, they went to a public school. The three of them never really knew anyone else in childhood, so when Garroth and Zane went to FalconClaw University, Garroth tried to make them both as many friends as they could and also reconnect with the few people they met in Highschool.

[thepeanutbutterwizard]

Hello hello hello please give me more VT I’m literally starving for it

1, Morro. I wanna know more about what his situation is. You’ve mentioned in a post before about how he takes over Kai instead of Lloyd but something is curious about

Does Kai happen to learn anything about Morro while their sharing a body? I can only imagine so.

But on the topic of things about Morro is how is his upbringing in this au? Is he still taken in by Wu? Perhaps as a newly deemed master somewhere between training with Chen and the venom fully corrupting him, he took in Morro for his first attempt at ruining the prophecy. Only hitches in his plan was A, he wasn’t as well versed in his manipulation as he is now, and B, Morro is a lot more spiteful then Kai.

This would connect Kai and Morro even more so it’s interesting. But obvi if you have a different idea I’m literally always looking for fresh crumbs of brainrot.

And does Morro get some redemption? 👀 if so then that would be freaking awesome to get some wojira duo content maan. :0 maybe Morro grew his horns and scales at some point? (Either in his time with Wu or the years in the cursed realm. Or heck maybe if he turns human again)

2. Does Cole still become a ghost? And if so, does it happen to worsen his latent codependency issues? It’s prob a traumatic situation, especially the whole “fading away” sitch.

3. Does Nyas role in Skybound change because of her independence? And maybe with her previous knowledge of tiger widows?

Sorry this is long but I’m restraining myself from dumping all of the blorbs I cooked up in my brain during my 2 hour binge of the au anyway have an awesome day/afternoon/night 👏😎

I'm glad you're enjoying this! And no worries about long asks, I love having an excuse to ramble about this au! Questions have actually been really helpful for me developing this au, so don't feel shy in asking any!

Starting with Morro, this post (hopefully the link works) goes into more detail, but the basics are:

Wu came home early from training under Chen, while Garm and Misako were working together to hide the Golden Weapons. He finds Morro and takes him in, and this actually helps stabilize him against the Venom. Bc he believes he's the Dark Lord in the Prophecy, and he suspects that Morro might be the Green Ninja, he tried to hide the Prophecy from Morro.

Morro still discovered the Prophecy, and accidentally triggered a Venom episode. Wu scared him away, and later regretting this and asking Misako and Garmadon to help him search for Morro once they're back, despite him being upset they've started dating.

Morro, who knew nothing about the Venom, believed that Wu's episode was caused bc he was so unworthy of being the Green Ninja that even asking about it was a massive insult. He then decided that if he could prove that he was worthy of being the Green Ninja by doing something like finding the FSM's Tomb, than Wu would want him to come home.

And the he died.

For the possession, there are a lot of risks involved with possession, both for the Host and the Spirit (fun fact for this au, Misako is immune to possession bc her IronDragon tattoos technically count as a possession on a very small scale and immunize her from other Spirits.). One of these risks is that if the Host and the Spirit are too similar, they can start to...merge.

Kai, at first, fights hard against Morro, so most of Morro's energy is spent keeping him under control, and almost none is being used to separate their memories. So when the two start to see what the other went through bc of Wu, they start to sympathize with each other, and realize that they’re more similar than they are different.

And after that they quickly start to blend together. Pretty soon they break away from the Preeminent's plan in favor of trying to find Wu, who at this point has escaped from jail and has completely disappeared (for now).

Morro does get redeemed, but rn the details of his redemption are up in the air until I get the chance to rewatch Possession and get all the fine tuning done.

An idea I'm playing with is having Kai and Morro being unable to separate after the Preeminent is defeated even though they both want to, and since I've rearranged a few seasons (more on that later) and DotD comes directly after Possession, have them find a way to separate during all that. Possibly by using the Yin Blade or the Rift of Return?

But that's just a possibility. Morro might still die (again) at the end of Possession and then be brought back to Ninjago by Yang where he helps the ninja and then is able to stick around. Or maybe he doesn’t die and doesn’t get stuck to/in Kai.

Regardless, Morro will join the main cast during DotD at the latest.

As for Morro's Dragon heritage, he initially looks completely human as a ghost, since he died completely human, but since Kai is not only also part dragon but also descended from the same dragon as Morro, once they're separate Morro has his own Draconic heritage on full display.

And those traits stay if he does get back to being alive. I’m 90% set on him being revived by the Rift of Return, but there’s that last 10% that kinda want’s to keep him as a ghost, but he possesses a mannequin of himself someone helped him steal from the museum purely bc I can be funny with that. But Morro is probably getting a body again.

As for Cole, he might still become a ghost, but he might not. The ghost stuff is going to go a bit different from cannon off the bat, since no one knows where FSM's staff is. Wu hid it somewhere after forging the Mega Weapon.

But if someone is going to get turned into a ghost, it'll be whoever I end up shipping with Kai.

And Skybound is waaaaaay different.

I'm shuffling some of the seasons, so after Wu and Chen it goes Possession -> Day of the Departed -> Hands of Time -> The Island -> Seabound -> Skybound -> Sons of Garmadon

I did this partially bc I didn't want to shelve the drama that will come from Ray and Maya being rescued from Krux by having then disappear for 6 seasons, partially bc I'm excited about some things I have planned for Seabound and didn't want to wait so long, and I can justify it in the narrative.

In the Seabound stuff, Nya tries to merge with the Sea like Nyad, but instead she turns full dragon (concept design here); this boosts her Elemental power to an overwhelming degree, and the transformation kinda messes with her memories.

She disappears into the Endless Sea after everything with Kalamaar (am I spelling that right?) and Wojira for a year, before the lantern memorial catches he attention (with some help from both Nyad and Wojira). Instead of the words on the lanterns helping her remember tho, several of the lanterns smell familiar.

A big part of why Nya took off was bc her power suddenly increasing as much as it did did draw her to the Endless Sea like in cannon, but once she’s had a bit of time to adjust that need to be surrounded by her Element dissipates. And once its gone she realizes something:

Something is Missing. Something Important, she can’t quite remember what, but she know she has to find it.

So she searches the Endless Sea, trying to find the thing she Lost. With a nudge from Nyad (at Wojira’s request) she finds the Lantern Memorial.

Like in cannon, the Memorial is on the one year anniversary of Nya...leaving. The Lanterns have messages written on them, but Nya can’t really understand written or spoken Ninjargon anymore. Luckily, there is something on the Lanterns she Recognizes.

Scents

Lloyd (who is about 14 and has been defaulting into his Dragon form bc of how much he misses Nya) had the idea that maybe if they can make some of the Lanterns smell strongly like them, it’ll help Nya find her way back home. He’s spent the past year insisting that Nya isn’t gone forever. She wouldn’t just leave. She wouldn’t, she’s Nya. She must be lost or stuck somewhere, but she was coming back.

So he convinces the other to help him scent a bunch of lanterns. They use things like a perfume Maya used to wear all the time before she and Ray were taken, the types of oil the Pixal and Zane each prefer, two can’s of Kai and Ray’s prefered hair styling products, Jay sacrifices one of his lucky socks he insist never be washed (I don’t think Jay canonically has lucky socks, but he strikes me as the type of guy to have a pair of unwashed lucky socks), Kai, Morro, and Lloyd (and mb Maya and Skylor) all sacrifice some loose scales (and have to be stopped from going after scales that weren’t already coming loose), Ray lint rolled enough hair from everyone’s rooms to cover two lanterns (as effective as it is disgusting), they try anything and everything they can think of to make their Lanterns reek like them.

They get some very weird looks from the other participants.

But Lloyds plan worked (something he is forever smug about) and Nya follows the scents to Ninjago City. Right in time for Nadhakhan (I don’t think that’s spelled right) to get loose.

I moved Skybound back like this bc it solved two problems I had; what to fill the space left by Jaya not being a thing in Skybound with, and how to integrate Nya coming back with the start of the Oni trilogy. The solution? Use Skybound as a buffer between Seabound and SoG.

So Nya finds her way back to her Family, her Home. She doesn’t Remember any of them or anything they went through together, but she Recognizes them as Home.

Mystake guesses that, given enough time, Nya’s memories should return. Luckily, she has a tea that should speed the process up a fair amount.

So Nya’s memories coming back and her adjusting to that and to her being back and everything that’s changed in the year she was gone fills in the time in the Sky Pirates stuff that used to be focused on the Jaya plot, and giving Nya time to adjust before getting into all of the everything that happens in the Oni Trilogy.

Ok, I think I got everything. But dont be shy if you have any more questions!

[deerteatime]

For the ask game: the egos (obviously jsjhglkfs) and uhhh creepypasta!!

OH HELL YEAH OF COURSE

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most): I don't have a singular blorbo, they're in a sort of rotating formation so that no singular character is The Blorbo for a super long time, but if I had to pick a character that I didn't answer any other question with it would have to be dark. the blorb. the silly. he has two braincells and they all belong to the house entity. eyeliner emo band looking ass mf

scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped): chase. i am crumpling him up like a paper ball and chucking him at the wall rn i am stretching him like a sticky hand and sticking him to the ceiling i am squishing him like a stress ball i am--

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave): (not underrated in the fandom AT ALL but underused in terms of cannon content) gotta be host. him. just. he. such a good dude

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week): MASK I THINK ABOUT HIM EIGHT TIMES A WEEK (at least) AND HE HAS TAKEN OVER ROUGHLY HALF OF MY BRAIN BUT LIKE NO ONE ELSE IN THE FANDOM USES HIM AND IT KILLS ME :sob:

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave): ...anti

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason): actor, probably?

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell): wilford. he is going to superhell (affectionate) IMMEDIATELY

thank you so much for the ask this game is so FUN
