Tundras are fun to design, notes under cut :)

Despite being born in Ice, Zarzi has lived in Plague and subsequently Nature, unused to the heat/humidity in these areas, heres what she does to beat it:

Most of her body fur is shaved, short, except for the bits on her legs and wings she keeps longer for purely aesthetic reasons. When she lived in Plague she kept these short as well, as she really struggled with the heat there.

She keeps her mane tied up into the little bunches it is in, a style similar to what I've seen people do with horses. It keeps it off her and allows more room to cool off.

Occasionally she'll have little braids with beads, once again for purely aesthetic purposes

While I was writing my fic Post Credits, I realized that Ike, Soren, and Ranulf all spent part of their childhood in Gallia

So theoretically, the three of them could have been childhood friends in an alt timeline

And yes, I am ignoring the way that laguz age bc it’s dumb. I like to think that they age like the Branded (IE, they age normally until adolescence, in which their aging starts to slow down). And since laguz have longer lifespans, their aging slows down a little later than the Branded

(Aka: the aging of Branded start slowing down around age 13-15, whereas the aging of laguz starts slowing down around age 16-18)

ANYWAY

All of this is to say that I have recently been thinking about an AU where Ike, Soren, and Ranulf are childhood friends

More info under the cut:

Ike and Soren would meet like normal. But in this AU, Elena doesn’t die, so when Soren comes back the next day, Ike gives him more food. After a couple days of that, Ike finally convinces Soren to come home with him to meet his mom and dad.

I’ve long imagined that Elena’s bloodline carries some heron laguz blood (that of a blue heron, so not related to the nobility) so she has a cousin or an aunt or something who is Branded, and she immediately recognizes that Soren is the same, and convinces Greil to let Soren live with them.

Maybe Titania decides to adopt Soren, because it becomes clear to Elena early on that Ike has a crush, and she doesn’t want to complicate things by having them raised as brothers.

Ike and Soren meet Ranulf a few years later. He was born and raised in Zarzi, which isn’t far from the beorc village where Greil lives, but Ike and Soren don’t really visit Zarzi, nor does Ranulf venture much outside it. But one day, Ike starts tagging along with Greil and Titania on one of their trips into the city, and that’s when he meets and befriends Ranulf.

Ranulf is training to be a soldier like his father before him, and he is curious to see the beorc mercenaries that work for Gallia. He manages to badger his father into letting him attend the meeting between King Caineghis and Greil, and while the adults are talking, Ike starts asking Ranulf questions. They immediately hit it off. Ranulf is fascinated by Ike’s blunt and straight-forward nature. He’s never seen any beorc who acts so friendly towards laguz!

After that, Ike always tags along with his father, in hopes of bumping into Ranulf again.

Soren rarely leaves the village, and never without supervision, because Elena fears what might happen to him if left alone too long. So when he starts hearing stories about Ike’s new friend, he’s obviously quite jealous.

Ranulf decides that if Ike can’t bring Soren to meet him, he should go visit their beorc village! Almost immediately, Ranulf can sense that there is something different about Soren, but he doesn’t yet know about the Branded, so it confuses him. Nevertheless, he makes an effort to befriend Soren.

Soren does not want to befriend the guy that has stolen Ike’s undivided attention away from him. Also, Ranulf is immediately too friendly and too inquisitive. Plus he’s a laguz, and while Soren knows why laguz ignore him, it hasn’t softened his distrust of them.

Ranulf is very persistent, however, and Ike really wants them to get along, so eventually Soren caves.

Once they get a little older, they go on camping/hunting trips into the forest. At first, Titania or Greil tag along to supervise them, but eventually, they’re allowed to go on their own.

Soren and Ike both become mercenaries, working for King Caineghis. Ranulf goes on to climb the ranks and become the King’s right hand man. Sometimes, they team up on mission’s together, but more often, Ran acts as a messenger between the King and Greil, a job he enjoys because it allows him to check in on his friends.

Soren and Ranulf both start crushing on Ike fairly early on. It’s also not long before Ranulf reveals that he knows about Soren’s crush, and they wind up commiserating together about how oblivious Ike can be.

Soren views Ran as his love rival, but polyamory is commonplace amongst beast laguz, and Ranulf is more than happy to share whenever Ike finally gets a clue.

Having a Branded as part of the mercenary team causes Greil some grief at first. Many of their clients are laguz, and they get upset when they learn that Soren is a trusted member of the team. Greil and Titania try to keep Soren from seeing the worst of it, however, confronting any prejudiced views out of Soren’s earshot. However, that isn’t always possible, and Soren’s no idiot. He has a good idea of what happens. But he also doesn’t know how to thank Greil and Titania for sticking up for him, so he just pretends not to notice.

Aaaand, that’s it for now. I have no idea how this might affect the plot of PoR, or the fate of Crimea. For now, it’s just a fluffy thought experiment. Thanks to everyone who read this far!!

The oldest tweet mentioning Caineghis says that "aside from his sandals caineghis is probably one of the best-designed FE characters." I understand the sentiment, but I think the sandals are a nice accent to the rest of his design and help cap off how it all ties into who he is.

Caineghis knows his position and his strength and the strength granted to him by his position, and several times throughout the games he throws his weight around in a manner that could be described as either reckless or crass and faces no real consequences because, yknow, he’s the biggest of the big cats.

When he more or less explains his relationship with Elincia to Nailah as "someone who I love as I would a daughter, and you shall do the same", he knows she isn’t going to push back on him being heavy-handed about it. During the summit with all the Laguz leaders in por he’s a wall none of the other leaders (Dheginsea aside) dare not try to move. Tibarn even comments on this in rd by saying that Skrimir of all people is easier to control than him. Skrimir! The meathead who let off the gas for the first time in his life like a week before!

So, let’s go back to his design. Imagine you’re to meet the king of a country. And he walks in wearing a robe. And sandals. Loungewear, basically. Bro is comfy as hell. It’s like if you walked into a job interview and your boss was wearing a tshirt and sweatpants and flipflops.

But he’s the king. Could you say anything? He’s 400 pounds of muscle. Could you object to his dress? He can turn into a massive lion at will. Could you suggest that he’s not taking his position seriously? Everyone in this country respects him tremendously. Are you going to dare comment on it? And there’s a glint in his eyes, a slight smile on his face, telling you that he knows exactly what you’ve been thinking, and you realize with some fear that this is all on purpose. He’s not dressed like this just for his own comfort.

No, he’s dressed like this so you know from the moment that he walks in that he’s in control. He always has been, and you have no chance of challenging that. No chance of challenging him.

This isn’t even getting into his body language and expression. Scroll back up. Look at him. Look him in the eyes. Even if every day is pajama day in Zarzi castle, he clearly carries himself with dignity. Looking at him, you know without a doubt that he’s a king. The king.

I am back again just to post this-

....

Happy birthday to this absolute idiot-

(I didn't want to draw him normally so i just turned him into an anthro 😭 I'm sorry for this-)

(I still don't have an actual design for that version of him- I just hope he's still recognizable)

..I also decided to make a little comic related to this with my OCs-

It's a little bit ship-y though- so just beware of that

•Fox OC: Zarzi (an AU version of her)

•Dragon OC: Zerin

(...I'm totally sane about Zoda,, Totally- You can't even see that i love him- /j)

[Unrelated- but I might make an account for regular art at some point,, so yeah]

#onassignment @sipausa Just returned from an incredible work trip to Zarzis, where I had the honor of documenting the skilled craftsmen who have been manufacturing and repairing wooden fishing boats using traditional methods for generations. Their attention to detail and commitment to preserving their town's cultural heritage through their craft was truly inspiring. I'm excited to share the beauty and artistry of their work with you all through my photos. #Tunisia #Zarzis #traditionalcraftsmanship #fishingheritage #culturalidentity #photojournalism #documentaryphotography #woodenboats #photojournalism #storytelling #journalism #humaninterest #visualstorytelling (at Ici c'est zarzis هنا جرجيس) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqBMpv7IqUv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
