#you're right people this game cannot be released nowadays

[randomnameless]

Something I found out re-reading the script and typing about FE Tellius in general :

In the final chapter of FE10's Part 3, when Pelleas is dead, Almedha explains a bit of backgroud information to Miccy and the DB peeps - the convo flows differently if Pelleas is alive or was killed earlier on, but for this post, I'll use the convo she has when Pelleas died, aka when Almedha is at her lowest point ever :

Tauroneo: “I remember the horror of that disease. King Ashnard took the throne after the plague killed most of the royal family, including his father. The tragedy is still fresh in my mind.” Almedha: “That was no disease. It was the curse of a blood pact.” Tauroneo: “What?!” Almedha: “It was all plotted by my husband in a bid to claim the throne of Daein. He used the curse… to steal the lives of his family and citizens…”

tfw no dakimakura for Ashnard :(

Almedha: “Ashnard, he… always worried about the future of a world without equals. He was born an outstanding man, wise beyond his age, yet could never become king. So to shape his ideal world, he decided to resort to underhanded schemes. That’s right… he tricked his father into signing a blood pact with a traveling wise man.”

Note that Almedha still calls him an outstanding man, "wise beyond his age" after dropping earlier how he fucking killed his family and several randoms to gain the throne - it's just some "underhanded scheme" uwu.

-> bar showing Almedha has interesting feelings regarding Ashnard even after everything that happened to her, her son and her brother, she knew Ashnard was the kind of dude who would kill his family and his randoms to get the throne, and yet still remained by his side. That mutual attraction must have been hella strong!

Anyways, we have a follow up about who or what the "traveling wise man" did :

Tauroneo: “Who was he!? That wise man…?” Almedha: “I do not know the details… To cure my illness, that man gathered at Daein the most bizarre people on the continent… Izuka was one of those people. He said he was a scholar studying the properties of wildlife… but, in truth he was nothing more than a madman hell bent on developing biological weapons… Oh ho ho ho.”

What illness is Almedha refering to ? The "cannot transform in a laguz anymore" illness?

So, timeline wise we have :

Ashnard and Almedha meet, they develop a "strong mutual attraction", Ashnard meets Lekain and tricks his dad to sign a blood pact with Lekain so the royal family dies and he gets his ticket for the throne (random peons dying is just some unfortunate casualty!), Soren is born, Almedha becomes "ill".

Lekain gathers randoms at Daein, including fucking Izuka, to officially search for a "cure" to her illness or "study the properties of wildlife" - but actually starts to work on his Feral Ones project...

Soren has no stats, so Ashnard "reject" him and later casts Almedha away, but not before using Soren, as a bait, to lure Rajaion and ultimately turn him - and a red dragon platoon - in a Feral One.

The Tellius recollection book says she had a mental and emotional shock after losing her powers AND after witnessing Rajaion becoming Ashnard's mount.

So is Almedha going all "lol." actually representing how broken she is? At this point, her son was killed, she's still sure Rajaion died because of her and connected 2+2 = 4 : while Solon pretended to look for a cure to heal her, he was actually refining the Feral One drug to use on her older brother.

Despite everything, she doesn't seem to have a particular resentment at Ashnard, nor call him names. Almedha might lash out at random people (Miccy, Tauroneo), but imo, she sees herself as the biggest reason why the tragedy (the loss of her son, her brother, etc etc) happened - and I can't really shake away the feeling that it is fueled by her sudden loss of power.

Tl;Dr : Almedha, per that book, "descended into madness" when she lost her powers due to mating with a Beorc (and witnessing Rajaion turned into a Feral One).

Peak anti-racism duology : Laguz can die twice when they procreate with a Beorc, first they become "crippled", and second, they lose their mind. Very Progressive (tm) writing.

Hey, you.

If you're American, and you've been having a hard week egg for.. reasons -

I have something to say to the Americans.

Just remember.

They aren't immortal.

Nobility has lied for centuries. They told us they were placed on the throne by God - the rule of the king being the will of the Creator.

The French proved them wrong.

You are young. They are human. They will one day die.

And on the day they die - regardless of if hell is real or not - there will be a movement when they are laying on that death bed. They will feel their live slipping from their grasp.

And they will feel the fear.

The possiblity of eternal consequence.

They will fear what waiting for them on the other side. The one journey they cannot buy their way out of. The moment the bell tolls for thee.

And honestly, the thought brings me peace.

Trumo and Elon AREN'T demons - though it's so easy to think of them as so.

They are evil humans. And all humans die. Trump? He's 80. He's over three times my age. He's older than my grandmother. He eats McDonald's and Diet Coke like no one's business. Knock on wood I'm betting he's got ten years TOPS.

('I'll be the last president' - my ass. If you take a bad fall it's game over dude. You won't release your health records cause you're most likely due for a heart attack soon mfer. Your minions don't like your candy ass Junior enough to have him as a successor and Baron doesn't fucking care so realistically speaking whats your game plan here? 🤨 Elon's kids have too many daddy issues to take your place. You can't even use a sword. Napoleon would slay you where you fucking stand you pansy)

So if you've been struggling this week, I just wanted to remind you.

Black people won our civil rights without the support from the media, without online social networks, without the support from 90% of white people.

70 years ago, around when my grandma was born - I could not sit next a white person in school. If a white man was walking towards me on the street, I'd have to step into the gutter and let him pass. At risk of being actually killed by the whole town if not.

Nowadays in my city I could tell a white guy my age 'Fuck you!!' to your face. Middle finger and all. And they're not gonna put me in jail for it. No stranger is gonna jump in. The whole town isn't gonna care. If anything, people will just record.

That all happened in ONE generation.

So no matter what Trump does.

Remember. He's not immortal. He will die like we all do.

You're young. You'll have the rest of your life to reverse everything he's done.

That's the thing about personality cults. Once the personality is removed, the whole thing falls apart. And the personality in question is once again - an 80 year old who eats Big Macs and wears suits two sizes too large. A man who would probably get genuinely upset if you asked him to recite his 8 times tables.

If Trump dies in the next 10-20 years, before he turns 100, I'll be 35-45. a.k.a - my generation will be entering the older majority. Our generation will be the eldest and the most influencial. What then?

The Trumpettes won't have their leader for their personality cult so they'll have no one - not even their republican parents - to tell them who to think.

We'll be older, wiser. We'll teach our kids the signs. We'll tell them stories what to do, and invest pubic funds to conserve the history of our fight - to never be erased.

If you're scared this week, I understand.

But remember. We've fought harder with less - and we still won.

So keep your head up. Doom is the tool of the enemy. You keep going, you keep living, and you survive to tear down their legacy while the bastard spins in his grave.

Keep going. Keep your angry hearts and clenched fists. Hold on tight to your love and rage. And keep going.

That's what Hobie would want. That's what a Hobie is there to teach us.

Hope this helped someone, anyone, even if it was a little bit. If this helps you get through the day, or the next hour, with the smallest bit of hope - that's all I want.

Thanks for reading this far! Here's Hobie :)

--------------------------------------------------

And bonus:

Ayo I just gotta add this in here -

Word to god, and when I say this I say this with my whole chest -

I'd be DAMNED before I ever say I'm scared of Donald Trump.

First of all, I'm black and poor. There's been a white man wanting me dead since the moment I left my Mama's hoohaa and guess what, I'm still here. That mfer ain't special. Call me when the klansmen come not when done mfers with tiki torches cosplay call of duty.

Cause none of them coming to the hood..tf.. Try that shit in neighborhood with Bloods and Crips.. Y'all not the only ones with automatics and lots of money. It's just the black people with money and automatics keep shit quiet. If these racist mfers had ppl breaking in they house the way Kendrick had mfers breaking in Drake's with choppers they'd be terrified as fuuuckkk

And secondly there's 4chan fellas out there that probably legit jack off to the idea of a black queer trans person crying in fear. And those mfers can kiss my black ass and kick rocks cause I wake up every day smiling. So -

Anyway I'm done lol

I just had to get this out of my system lol. OKAY BYE FOR REAL

An insight into Public Relations

Nowadays, people love to socialize whether that's online or offline. Humans need humans for company, for sharing their feelings, their emotions or even just to feel better. We humans love to maintain a good relationship with our loved ones. Isn't it? Similarly, businessmen in the corporate world too have to maintain a good relationship with not only other businessmen but also the public. And that is what the Public Relation comes in, which is basically the relation between any organization (profit, non-profit, government) and the public where there is delivery and mobilization of information in order to maintain a good image in the eyes of the public.

Key differences between Public Relations and Publicity:

Public Relation is usually mistaken for publicity. Although both of them constitute the word public. But there is a huge difference between public relation and publicity. Now how are they both different? Public relation is an internal activity and is controlled by the organization whereas an organization has no control over its publicity and is totally dependent upon the third party.

How to differentiate between Public Relations and Advertising:

Similarly, people often get confused between public relations and advertising. But let me clear it out to you that a Public Relation's main motto is to gain an individual's attention for free i.e. without any cost or expense and is thereby named as Earned Media but on the other hand we have advertising which can be categorized as a form of marketing management where the organization itself has to advertise or market them by convincing reporters or editors for publishing positive contents and reviews about the organization, their services and their products and hence is called the Paid Media. Pretty easy, right.

What roles do a Press Secretary overtakes:

Now talking about what we call that person who is a public relation specialist? It is called press secretaries and they can be considered a storyteller. Let's unfold it as why they are called storytellers? So their main task is to narrate the activities of the organization and government officials to ensure a good public reputation. And also enhance, protect and build an organization’s reputation through media, social media and also word of mouth. Not only that, they also take care of any negative review and try their best to alleviate any kind of damage.

Let's know about some of the basic roles a press secretary performs:

1. Formulation of PR plans strategies.

2.Managing and fulfilling media requests and requirements.

3. Building new contacts with the media and maintaining the old contacts.

4. Tracking, analyzing and taking care of media coverages for future campaigns.

5. Maintaining a cordial relationship with the media and public.

6. Enhancing and uplifting organization’s image and reputation through offline and online means.

7. Writing press releases, speeches and other PR necessary documents.

Importance of Public Relations:

1. It is free:

Unlike advertising, public relations is free and more trustworthy. By performing public relations, an organization gains trust and credibility of the public without even spending a penny. When people talk about you, your organization it is known as word of mouth which spreads like forest fire and is more effective and influencing than an advertisement.

For example, get your business mentioned by the press in a well-known news channel and see the wonders happening.

2. Long term game:

Investing in public relations may be free but it benefits for a very long term. Now if you're wondering how it is a long term game then let's rewind, as we know that public relation is free and acts as word of mouth spreading like a forest fire which is why they continue to mobilize for a very long period of time. Whereas an advertisement runs for a specific period of time whether it is online or offline. And that is how public relation not only benefits the organization but it is also a game of long term benefits.

3. Complements the marketing activities of an organization:

An intangible asset is something that one cannot touch or see but only its results can be felt. Similarly public relation is also a form of intangible asset as it provides goodwill to the organization it is serving. It complements the marketing activities of an organization in such a way that even advertising and marketing can't do.

4. Changes people's perspective regarding any particular business:

Suppose you go to a hotel and think about what to order and suddenly you remembered that your friend once visited the same hotel and she couldn't stop thinking about the chicken salad she had there. And remembering that you ordered the chicken salad at that very moment. This is due to word of mouth effect which not only increased the sales of the hotel by profiting them but also changed people's perspective regarding their hotel.

Conclusion:

To conclude, maybe you're a newbie and new to the business. You definitely won't have millions and billions with you but you know what you don't need to worry because Public Relations got your back. They'll promote and elevate your business even if you start from scratch and one day you'll reach heights.
