#three houses ask game

[ashes-of-ailell]

Sorry it took a while for your ask to arrive after reblogging this! I've been busy fighting Those Who Slithered in the Dark

Your prompts are!

⏫, ⤴, 📜, 📚, ☕, ✉

HAVE FUN!!!

Hello!! No worries whatsoever, thank you so much for asking!! :3

⏫ What weapon / skill do you think you'll be proficient in? (Max. 3)

Faith / Bow / Reason for sure!! I don't really like getting up close to attack, but I'd also want to be able to heal those around me if at all possible. I'll fight if I have to, but I'd prefer to just play support.

⤴️ (I don't have that specific arrow emoji) Who are characters that you think you can achieve A+/S level support ending with? (no limit)

Ashe / Bernadetta / Linhardt / Dedue / Annette / Marianne / Hubert / Constance / Hapi / Yuri / Flayn

📜 What will your backstory be?

I'd be from Faerghus probably. I think I'd want to be the son of a florist or merchant of some description based in Fhirdiad. I think I'd have somehow ended up at the School of Sorcery (probably fixated on magic a bit too much and got good at it as an accidental result) and realise I enjoy helping people, so I'd try and get into the Officers Academy. Though some of that might also be a product of financial concerns or other issues.

📚 What nature will your magic be? Both reason and faith are accepted!

I think I'd have a lot of healing/support magic (Heal / Physic / Fortify / Warp) and my offensive magic would be ice based (Fimbulvetr / Blizzard) with some light from the Faith (like Nosferatu / etc)

☕ What tea should Byleth get for your teatime?

I'm not a big fan of tea, but if I had to pick one for the game mechanic's sake, I'd probably go with Ginger Tea, or something sweet.

✉️ What 'anonymous' question will you drop into the guidance box for Byleth to answer?

Oh that's a tough one. Depending on if it's Pre or Post Timeskip, I'd either ask if they can point me in the direction of someone who I can talk to about a book I like, or I'd ask about ways to deal with nerves before a fight.

Thank you so much for asking, this was so much fun to do!! Hope you're having a lovely day! :3

LIKE I JUST WANT TO SIT ON IT!!!!!!!!!!!! his lap is sooo big and inviting and i KNOW u could just snuggle right in and be sooo comfy and his ass is NOT letting u leave!!!!!!!!

MY BRAINS A LITTLE JUMBLED ON WHEN THIS WAS SENT BUT I THINK YOURE TALKING ABIUT JON PERHAPS? this wording sounds like cregan.. oh well. all three cause why not !

robb would love having you in his lap. especially while he works, your back to his chest & his arm over your stomach to keep you in place as he shuffles papers around. pointing to places & castles on maps, both of you saying which ones you’d like to visit when the wars over. you’d try and help, but sometimes, you just wanna be close to him and not use your brain. and he’s perfectly alright with that.

jon would definitely adore it. adore the closeness, the soft intimacy of it. he hasn’t felt real closeness like this before. most of the time when you’re on his lap, it’s a comfort for the both of you. wrapping your arms around his neck as he wraps his own around your waist. it truly shuts off both of your brains, allowing you to finally just rest. when you both just need some reprieve, he’s pulling you to/you’re sitting yourself on his lap :( <3

cregan omg. he’d pull you to his lap allllll the time. he’s so touchy, those big paws of his that he calls hands just wanting to be on you all day everyday. at the end of a long day, he’s pulling you to his lap as you tell him about whatever comes to mind. his hands are on your hips, and they rub circles, moving back and forth — kneading the soft skin beneath them. and suddenly you can’t remember what you were talking about. & don’t even think about getting up. as soon as you move to get off you’re reminded of his strength as his grip tightens, locking you in place. he only lets go when you tell him you have to pee. 🙄 dramatic as hell.

My fav thing about TAZ is that any aspect out of context sounds fucking bonkers.

Like, in the balance finale there's a scene in which Garfield (who is very specifically never described visually bc most people imagine him as like. The Lasagna Cat. Who in this universe is the most powerful warlock in the realm and also has a hobby of cloning people, which is great for the one character that got forced into haunting a mannequin) is summoned by an alien spaceship that runs on the power of friendship so he could beat up some flashing balls. In D&D.

And that was just. Such a normal scene in the narrative. No one blinked an eye. I would like to bow down to Griffins clear unmatched talent for making me feel such big emotions over ridiculous shit like a goddamned umbrella or a regular ass pair of jeans or the idea of a taco recipe.

8 for Edelgard, if you wouldn’t mind

Oh oooh, you’re opening Pandora’s box, my friend!

8. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you despise?

She gets demonised so much. Worse, Actual People Who Like Her get demonised alongside her.

I’m not going to pretend she’s an angel (my knowledge of non-CF routes is purely secondhand, as I will always always always choose her, but even then she makes some questionable decisions, such as lying to the rest of the Black Eagles Strikeforce about those Totally Normal Pillars Of Light In Arianrhod, Don’t Even Worry About It Haha).

But here’s the thing: she’s also an abuse (read: LITERAL TORTURE) survivor who recognised the system crafted primarily to benefit people like her only caused suffering for everyone. So she decided to force a radical change, picked herself off the ground, and went to work.

Were her methods questionable? Of course.

Did she have any other a choice? Yes: inaction. I’m sure many of us of who have felt trapped and othered and used and battered by an unkind world would agree that’s probably worse. We deserve catharsis, at the very least.

But even if she was the absolute scum of the Earth people make her out to be.

What’s worse: liking a fictional character who waged a fictional war to defend fictional ideals and kill fictional people, or purposefully going after real, living, breathing people for finding joy in a video game? I’ll let you ponder.

Black Eagles Forever! ❤️🦅

PS: There’s also a lot of bi erasure surrounding her. In my early Tumblr days I got an ask accusing me of lesbophobia for pointing it out, which is hilarious, considering that I’m a lesbian.

Thank you for the ask! ❤️🦅

I'm sorry.

[luck-of-the-drawings]

when i was in highschool one o my biggest coping mechanisms was drawing all the kids i hated getting killed and eaten and killed. and well. time is a slowly ascending spiral. you will find patterns.(i work as a blackjack dealer. gamblers are FASCINATING

[schimmelspore]

How is Claude the most bisexual 💀 You have canonically bisexual characters who have ending, support- Some litteraly flirt with the same gender, directly mention their bisexuality, fuck with gender and have heavily queer themes!! I mean, you're in the "Bi girl with an axe who swing both way fighting against the Church and the oppressive system, and litteraly DOROTHEA ARNAULT"

Claude is definitely bisexual despite canon, but you deserve better than him >:[ If u want bi men, Fe3h might lack much of a choice, but you get the cute sleepy nerd or the serial killer who supports women directly with the eagles ( and I mean, if you recruit you can get angry "I'm not in love with childhood friend(s) despite crying harder than their wife at their death or making death pack which is like the equivalent of gay marriage in Faerghus", the rat ACAB guy or Sylvain )

Im just clinically obsessed with Claude, dude. Let me have my lil scheming asshole lmao i am weak to his two faced flirting and constant plans to poison everyone.

Besides, im well aware of all the other characters, this is my 4th playthrough and im clinically obsessed with said sleepyhead and so many others as well.

[youareinlove]

i remember when people were shocked she was his emergency contact when he got injured in a game

it was less shock and more omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomg

[oddlittlestories]

Your wip Three scenarios has me intrigued!! Care to share some about it? 😀

- housethemd

Ooh yes absolutely thank you for asking!

So this is a Wilson POV fic that parallels 1x21 Three Stories.

We don’t see Wilson in the flashbacks to House’s infarction, and I have decided it’s because he wasn’t there which begs the question Why.

In three planned chapters, which I have outlined, I explore three scenarios of why Wilson wasn’t there, and the impact on his perspective on each situation.

[fayesdiary]

actually now that you've finished AM and re: Paired Endings, did you get the paired endings you wanted? I remember when I went in blind and didn't know how the hidden support points system worked in regards to paired endings, I ended up with exactly no paired endings I was expecting or hoping to get, and a few people I knew playing the game at the same time as me ran into the same "wait, how does this work" conundrum bc we all went and got everyone to A or A+ supports with everyone else and therefore had a roulette wheel of paired endings.

also just in general, how did you enjoy AM?

I barely knew paired endings were a thing so I wasn't aiming for any one in particular (although I'm upset by the Felix/Ingrid one. I'm sorry Ingrid, you deserved better).

That said, having paired endings almost hidden from the player if you don't know (I'm guessing it's a selection of the A/A+ support pairs, but if you have multiple it selects one based on which has the highest support points) is... really weird. Why not just have S supports at that point and give the player the active choice of which paired ending they want?

As for Azure Moon itself, I quite enjoyed it! Dimitri's journey is the good shit, his relationship with Edelgard is just tragic and overall it's a really nice personal narrative.

But for the larger narrative, well... I have questions. And they are not the good kind.

Let's start with the smaller things first - Sothis.

Why is she even in the game?

I'm saying this as a huge fan of her- I adore her, I think she's so much fun. That said, if she's barely going to have screentime in White Clouds and is completely absent in Part 2, why even pretend she's going to be a primary character if she barely features in it?

I enjoyed Ch9 and 10 with her because she finally had her time to shine, taking initiative, coaxing Byleth into investigating a bit more and being a little gremlin when she convinces them to eavesdrop on Rhea. She finally has the presence she should have always had, but then she merges with Byleth and... that's it.

Poor Rhea is in an even worse situation in Azure Moon, being completely absent in Part 2. They tell you she has been secretly been imprisoned in Enbarr all this time but they never tell you why (my guess is it has something to do with Edelgard's monster form?), and then when you beat the game... Nothing.

Just a small line telling you she has retired and moved to Zanado.

The poor woman feels like a complete afterthought in this route.

Speaking of things feeling like an afterthought in Azure Moon, the Dark Snakes (the personal name I'm going with for Those who slither in the dark because I hate that name so goddamn much).

In White Clouds? Hyped up as a major antagonist.

In Azure Moon Part 2? Nowhere to be seen properly.

You only get Cornelia and Volkhard who have been very blatantly replaced with members of the cult, and yet no one seems to notice.

Dimitri will say straight to your face Cordelia's whole demeanor changed around a decade prior but never think "hmm, this sounds familiar", despite him mentioning Kronya a few chapters prior.

They appear in the final chapter but only as an extra boss you can stomp to get rid of a bunch of soldiers, and again - barely acknowledged. The rest of them flee when you kill their leader so the Snakes are still around scheming, but this is never addressed in Azure Moon, not even in the endings.

And I am not accepting "it will be explained in the other routes" as an excuse, because if you're going to treat every route as its own game, then the narrative of every single route has to stand on its own.

As it stands, the Snakes in AM only exist to make Edelgard look better by comparison in White Clouds and are almost completely ignored in Part 2.

And speaking of Edelgard - we need to talk about the whole deal with Fòdlan's unification.

This game is... weirdly fascinated with the idea. I can understand why Edelgard views it as an ideal - of course the future Emperor of an Empire would have an imperialist mindset.

The problem is that several other characters and the narrative itself portrays it a good thing, when if you think of it for a few minutes... It's not. The mere existence of the Kingdom and Alliance as well as two of the major wars in Fòdlan being for their indipendence proves that.

And look - Fòdlan has many, many problems. Rampant racism and xenophobia, class inequality exacerbated by Crests, you name it. But it being united under a single banner, especially if by force, does nothing to solve any of the issues and arguably makes them worse.

Hell, as fucked as the status quo at the start of the game is, at least there was a clear harmony between the four powers, and Fòdlan had been at a state of relative peace for almost a millennia until Edie did her, um, thing.

Shamir has a line where she mentions Fòdlan will probably split again eventually, and she's right - it's increasingly clear that Fòdlan being governed by a single power does not work.

Also I know I barely know Claude at this point especially because he's deliberately written as hard to read but I'm sorry- him just giving the Alliance to Dimitri is bullshit. Both because of what it represents, both because I don't buy it at all he would just do this (especially with Verdant Wind existing), and especially because you really want me to believe every single noble would be ok with rejoining under the Kingdom they declared indipendence from two centuries ago?

So the narrative ends up saying "oh it's not that Edie's ideals of a unified Fòdlan are fundamentally wrong- no, it's her methods and the fact that she wants to destroy the Church". And the cynical side me is thinking that in the large scale of things, the main difference between the routes is choosing which war criminal gets to govern the whole continent.

So while overall I enjoyed Azure Moon, I can't help but notice so many warning signs for things to come.

Since you're the creator of the fe3h 5th anniversary ask game, I have to ask you back! 💬,📚, 🎁

HOLY SHIT, I GOT UNO-REVERSED WITH THIS ASK! YOU GOT ME!

Pictured: blood coming out of my ears, because coughing it out of mouth is too mainstream.

💬: What more should Byleth do to convince you to join them?

Heh heh heh. Byleth will need to ensure that I get some leeway in investigating the secrets of Fodlan and rumors of "shady underground people," as well as proving to me that they are not judgemental about my skepticism. If they are accepting of my, uh, weirdness (?)... That will be a pretty big game-changer for me too.

📚: What nature will your magic be?

My faith magic will be abysmal! (It's funny because I'm usually forced to be the medic/healer when playing with friends in stuff like Monster Hunter). I think I will also show low proficiency in Reason magic at first, but it's a hidden talent. Once it's finally "unlocked," though, it will turn out to be Agarthan dark magic.

🎁: Which gift will delight you the most?

From the canon list?

Monarch Studies book

The History of Fodlan.

If it's special gifts outside of the list... There are quite a few!

A single stalk of the lotus flower or a bouquet of chamomile flower.

Cognitive science books!

Philosophical books! Especially Buddhist philosophy.

A doll! Yes!!!

A cool-ass hat!

A ticket for a free shoulder massage. I mean it. Byleth GET TO IT ALREADY

Thanks for this Uno Reverse Maneuver! I didn't actually expect this myself ahahhaahaha

(everyone else, come reblog the original Ask Game and get visited by my Asking Ass!)

Perhaps I’m being a little greedy by asking two questions, but 20 and Bernadetta?

I see no greed here, just infinite blorbo love! ❤️🦅✨

20. Which other character is the ideal best friend for this character (the amount of screentime they share doesn't matter)?

From what @dragongutsixofficial told me of the DLC, Jeritza is a pretty strong contender. However, my vote has to go to Ferdinand.

These two can call each other out on their respective unhealthy behaviours (which is HUGE for Bernadetta specifically):

And encourage one another to persevere in their efforts to better themselves:

There is something so sweet about their A support in particular. By meeting on their own terms rather than following their parents’ timeline, they were able to truly get to know each other and appreciate the time spent together.

They’re so cute, both platonically and romantically! 💜🧡

Thank you for the ask! ❤️🦅
