Some WIPs I'm Working On. I've Decided That I Want To Do A Gunnerr Set For Every Special Banner We've

Some WIPs I'm working on. I've decided that I want to do a Gunnerr set for every special banner we've had in Heroes thus far. I already did the Summer banner, so now I have to do East-- er, Spring Fesitval, Bridal, Performing Arts, Hallowe-- ehrm, Fall Festival, Ch-- Winter Festival and probably New... Season... Festival?

I always wondered what was going through her mind when she asked them to sit on her magic memory chair. Did she think they were going to say "Oh, now I remember that I really am Hoshidan! That obviously cancels out all the years of good memories I had with my loving friends and family and all the years of being taught that Hoshidans are my enemy! Gee, it sure is easy to shrug off brainwashing!"

Then again, considering that that is LITERALLY what happens in Birthright (and even Conquest, to an extent), it seems Mikoto knows her kid well.

You ever wonder what would’ve happened if Corrin had sat on the throne when Mikoto asked? I tend to think it just would have caused their transformation to happen a few hour earlier. I also tend to think Mikoto wouldn’t have thought that far ahead and would have been stuck with a rogue dragon and would have died anyway.

"Time to... tip the... meh." Behold, Bryn! Or Brynja as she's known in Plegia, to avoid being confused with the heirophant, who is said to be Brynign. She's in her thirties and finds the children in charge of Ylisse to be wholly unqualified for the job (but it's a monarchy, so what can you do?). Unlike Robin, who's hard for Chrom regardless of their gender, Bryn really only stands by him because that's usually in her best interest. The moment the war with Plegia was over, she moved to Ferox, and after the whole Grima business, returned home to Plegia (as it's queen, alongside Gangrel). Despite not remembering it, she's proud of her Plegian hertitage. She herself is nihilistic, but she appreciates that others have more hope than she does. She values material items more than experiences, because experiences are easily forgotten, and carries a thrift store's worth of seemingly useless trinkets and dodads on her person. I changed the default outfit a bit because, aside from the coat, the tactician outfit is very bland and ugly. I wanted her to look like a wandering mage (which she essentially is). The right side of her face is badly burnt, so she wears her emo bangs on that side. She does not have access to every class- her secondary class is mercenary, and her tertiary class is pegasus knight. She's married to Gangrel, and strangely, his own cynicism seems to have made her a bit more optimistic. Lucina is her daughter-in-law, and she absolutely hates that fact.

How to make a character's death sadder

 Don’t have them die of old age after a long, fulfilling life. Many people don’t even think of this as sad (note that this can still work if you have enough of the other factors).

 Leave one of their major goals unfinished. The more enthusiastic they are about completing the goal, the sadder.

 Give them strong relationships with other characters.

 Make them fight against whatever is causing their death. Their ultimate loss is sadder if they struggle.

 Kill them in the middle of their character arc.

 Don’t describe their funeral in detail. Maybe it’s just me, but I find that long descriptions of funerals kill the sadness.

We're in good hands. In this time of turmoil, we need a hero with a level head. Florida Man sees a category 5 hurricane coming straight for him and decides this is the perfect time to crack open a beer and get out the grill.

Every country is protected by a superhero who embodies their nation’s values and culture. America’s hero, Uncle Sam, is taking a well-deserved vacation, so his backup has to take over for a week. The fate of America rests in the hands of Florida Man.
