YOOOO NEW DLC ANNOUNCEMENT HELLO???

[bluebeetle]

ngl i wasnt expecting Sin so soon but i suppose it makes sense since he had a character model in the Another Story dlc.

[wooahaes]

follow up to the fire emblem ask 😵‍💫 yes i found another blog who likes fire emblem and seventeen ! i won everyone !! ps sorry for the mini rant i got excited

anyways … let me tell you that the conquest route of fates was something! (i got sad) and then third dlc route revelation, writing was confusing but eh its dlc im not mad. i’m trying to find a way to get birthright soon so i can finally play that path.

ALSO TELL ME WHY I ALSO KEPT UNITS AWAY FROM OTHERS SO THEY COULDNT PAIR 😭. like i play as a f!unit so i kept her away from everyone but like one character so they had to be together. i personally did chrom and sumia just bc everyone said but i also chrom has funny supports and i heard his support with sully is sweet.

i actually talked to one of my moots abt someone making a video game based smau, they asked me to do it but im not at that level yet… but then fire emblem popped into my head. like the class system is so cool and usually connected to the type of person the characters are! i kept trying to see which members of seventeen + other idols would fit into each class role. sorry i got carried away 😅

hi lovely <3 no need to be sorry! i like talking abt stuff that makes ppl happy

god yeah i can imagine. i remember getting sad over birthright too :( i played through most of conquest and revelations tbh but its been like. at least a year or two so my memory's pretty foggy lmao i just remember not liking jakob

im always like "stay away until i get ppl married and then u can pair up however tbh" (still pairs married couples or parents w their kid bc i think them working together is cute).

god... i feel bad but im not a huge fan of sumia as a unit. some ppl say she's great but she always goes down so easily for me. i cannot imagine playing the game on classic. chroms support w sully is v sweet tho! if i wasnt trying to get lucina some specific skills from olivia, i probably would have pushed chrom with sully. they arent optimal according to a lot of ppl, but their supports would make up for it <3

ngl with this playthrough though ive had my f!unit like. sticking around multiple men to get the supports up to A so that i can figure out who i wanna romance......... homie i didnt expect for so many of them to have cute supports??? gaius's is cute (im p sure he calls the mc "bubbles" regardless of gender but i like his nicknames for ppl dsfkhdsf + his sweet tooth is endearing to me), stahl being the kind of person who looks out for people is sweet, lon'qu slowly growing more used to f!unit and being kind of endeared by her... and also henry just being the weirdo he is ksfdhdsf like ??? how am i supposed to pick. i mentioned it but i managed to get inigo (my favorite slutty man /hj) last night and his supports w f!unit are also kind of cute? just him going from a skirtchaser to trying to be more conscious of everyone else around him and taking care of ppl... ugh hes sweet <3

also last night i realized that olivia sparkles. like ??? girl straight up sparkles. i love that for her dskfhsdf also someone asked me if u have the option to be gay in awakening and im like NO bc god i love cherche and sully... and also lissa... and also maribelle... theres so many pretty women :(

ooo a video game based smau would be so fun... if i could do it, i would since theres like. so many games w so much potential there. i've had a vague idea for a life is strange-esque au (mc with powers dealing w that, basically) and since im already writing a one-shot w felix... idk, it just feels like a fun idea to play with. my go-to would be 3 because its the only game w a viable male love interest, sorry warren and whatever the guy from 2 was i love 3 the most and like ngl a smau would be an interesting way of doing it...

ooo do you have any thoughts on who would be in what role? i'd love to hear them! i talked with an anon about it a while back but i'd have to go find those asks bc i admittedly can't remember anything we picked out rn :(

Ok, SO, I’ve just finished Valhalla’s dlc, AND I have some thoughts to put down-

( WRATH OF THE DRUIDS SPOILERS AHEAD ) 

First of all, I expected the dlc to be longer and possibly include more of the Isu stuff as well. A Celtic Isu plot-line like we see in Valhalla with the Aesir would have been so cool, especially since we don't know much about Irish folklore, BUT that is another thing.

However, we still see Isu stuff, but not the way we would imagine ( especially for the last scene that is SUPER RAD AND I WILL GET TO IT SOON )

ngl, I ventured into the dlc thinking that we would see The Morrigan like we see Aletheia in Odyseey, but instead, we only got hidden mysteries. While continuing to play the game, I was starting to becoming a bit annoyed and disappointed because they kept focusing on Morrigan's death and violent aspects, so I figured Ubisoft didn't really look into The Morrigan too much beyond the death aspects so they could maintain that creepy (tm) theme.

THAT until a particular scene came up. The scene with Ciara and Eivor at the waterfall. We see Ciara trying to seduce Eivor, but it's not only about that. The Morrigan is also a river and fertility goddess, and in many myths, she's known to seduce warriors and have ritual sex with them. 

That scene really got me thinking, but I didn't want to jump to conclusions, so I kept playing, tho this time while keeping an eye on Ciara because that girl looked sus. 

It's not until the scene where we kill the leader of the children of Danu that confirms my doubts. The leader ( which I don't remember the name rip ) says that Ciara always had a weakness for 'men in power ', and Flann Sinna, the High King of Ireland, really seems to rely on Ciara's opinion, to the point where he was willing to go against the other kings of the country to defend her while she was being attacked for her druidic heritage. 

This is also one of the aspects of The Morrigan, Macha especially. Macha is a sovereignty goddess, and she always have the last word when it comes to choosing a rightful ruler. The Morrigan's word is sacred, and she only offers her advice to worthy leaders. 

Ciara is convinced that having Flann as High King of Ireland will finally bring an opportunity for her people to be in peace with the Norse settlers and catholic church, but Flann and the other kings of Ireland decide that the best way to avoid something like the Cult of Danu from showing up again, is to kill every single druid in all Ireland.

THIS IS WHERE THE LAST SCENE COMES

Ciara, furious, goes to Tara and it turns out that she knows how to activate and manipulate the Lia Fáil, the stone of destiny ( who’s actually an Isu artifact)

Guess what does she do next? she takes hold of the mind of the soldiers and urges them to attack Flann and Eivor. This is an aspect of the Morrigan, especially Nemain, who was known to cause battle frenzy in warriors. Ciara even seems to controls the death, and c’mon which other Irish deity has got such power? THE MORRIGAN. 

I believe that we do see the Morrigan in the dlc, we deal with the Morrigan throughout all the dlc, because the Morrigan is actually Ciara. 

Now, I'm still unsure if Ciara is the reincarnation of the Morrigan, OR if she's descended from her/them. From Macha, especially. Because in myth, Macha has two sons, SO it could be possible that one of those two children started Ciara's bloodline 👀 or her druid clan!

BEAR in mind that this is just a theory, we know that Ciara has got Isu genes, yes, but we don't know what Isu genes. From what I've seen, she has got MANY things in common with The Morrigan, so that's why I've formulated this theory.

I also keep seeing from various sources that there are, although hidden, clues about Shay BUT I'M GONNA GIVE IT A DOUBLE CHECK bc oh boy I sure have another theory in mind :'D ( tho I strongly believe that Shay will turn out to be strongly linked, if not RELATED,  to Macha as well--)

In the meantime, have these very rad pics of the boss fight with Ciara.
