Fe Fates - Tumblr Posts
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.
So, I started playing another gacha game called Dream Boyfriend because it's essentially Love Nikki with dudes (I'm all about these dress up games). Originally, when the boyfriend (who of course I named "Gunther") was Standard, I found him to be absolutely insufferable, but now that he's the Mysterious personality...?? I gave him the right name, man. I honestly feel like this could've come from a Revelation Gunther S support. They're all just random things he says, but damn if it doesn't sync up scary well.
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?
Since of COURSE IntSys isn't going to put the corrupted character *I* want in Heroes, I'm forced to make him myself. As usual. While I love the character design of Fates, I also found it just... mind numbingly dull in places. I mean, Takumi is a literal fucking Z O M B I E in Conquest, and the best you could do was make him pale and add some purple fire? In a game rated T? Well, aren't you creative... *slow clap* Since Gunther is not a mindless puppet of Anankos, but the actual living vessel for this eldritch god, I want to make him a little more... interesting, but trying to keep him similar to how he is in Revelation makes that difficult. I mean, if I had my way, he'd look like something out of Fraken Fran, but then he wouldn't be "Gunther", sadly...
“Why be a king… when you can be a god?”
I FINALLY finished this. I’d have done it sooner, but I was too sick to even bother. And, as you can tell, I didn’t feel like painting the patterns on the Anankos hearts. So yeah, have a Corrupted Gunther. This would probably be his critical art, because it’s a bit too much for a standard (Fire Emblem) character. And even though I came up with dialogue, I don’t feel like being fucked to think up stats (and yes, it’s very much inspired by Wesker because I thought that was the entire point if DC Douglas voicing him)
Gunter: Vallite King 5🌟 exclusive Calvary- red Dragonstone
Weapon: Dragon Breath (mt- 16 Allows unit to counterattack regardless of distance) (Refined effect- Inflict Res-5 on foes within 2 spaces through their next actions at the start of each turn)
A slot- Dragonskin (Nullifies “super effective” damage. Uninheritable)
B slot- Quick Riposte 3 (Unit automatically makes a follow-upattack if attacked at HP ≥ 70%)
Special- Luna (Resolve combat as if foe suffered Def/Res -50%)
-Summoned- “I am the forgotten dragon. The betrayed king. The entombed god. You must be very brave to call upon me… or exceedingly stupid.”
-Info Screen- “I am the forgotten dragon. The betrayed king. The entombed god.”
“Ugh! You’d dare be so flippant with a god?”
“Did I care for Corrin? ……n-no….. All I care for is the vengeance I’m owed…”
“These royals best not expect formality. I no longer need to feign respect.”
“What asanine reason do you have for pestering me now?”
“I… had a family once… I had everything… and then it was taken away…"
“This body belongs to Anankos. I am him and he is me.”
-Castle-
“Once, the king of Nohr sought to give me the power of the First Dragons. Ha… as if I needed him for that…”
“You’re lucky I don’t dislike you- otherwise, I’d rend that optimism from your very being.”
“I may be old, but make no mistake, the Silent Dragon chose me as his vessel for a reason.”
“In the past, I fought in war to seek their end. Now? Nothing makes me happier than watching kingdoms destroy each other. This one should be interesting.”
“You fool yourself, caring for these royals. To them, we commoners are little more than pawns in their schemes… Or weeds to be killed on a whim.”
“(Summoner) cared enough to send you a greeting, so I’m surprised the royals haven’t killed you yet as a message. Though I suppose there’s still time…”(visiting another castle)
“You again? I can’t even count how many times you’ve come to speak to me. What do you gain by befriending me? Who do you seek to use me against? No one, you say? Then you’re stupider than I thought. That’s what I would do. What I have done. Why I do everything. Because of the man who took everything from me. My wife… my child… everyone and everything I ever knew… Hm? Is that pity I see? Hahahaha… BWAHAHAHA! You think I need your pity?! I don’t need anyone else! I have Anankos! He will make everything right…" (level 40 conversation)
-Map- “Hmm?” “Finally.” “Move out.”
-Stats increased- “What more would you expect from a god?” (5-6 stats increased) “Oh, it feels good to be strong again.” (3-4 stats increased) “I suppose even Anankos can’t restore what was lost…” (1-2 stats increased) “Even more strength? You have my gratitude.” (New skill learned)
-Critical/Skill activation- “You don’t stand a chance!” “I sentence you to DEATH!” “Even kings bow to gods!” “This ends now!”
-Defeat- “A-Anankos…”
'Today's'? I do believe you meant "From now until the heat death of the universe"~♡
♡♡♡♡♡
today’s cute fire emblem boy is
Gunter from Fire Emblem: Fates!
I mean, Corrin is literally the child of their god? The one who founded Valla and created the royal family in the first place? Rulers in the real world have been using "I'm a god" or "I was chosen by God" as an excuse to lord power over people for millenia. In a world where dragons are revered as gods, if the one person who's actually a dragon and thus literally a god says "I'm your king now" I don't think anyone would question them.
Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation post game
*is sent into a cycle of death and rebirth by the beauty of this that lasts until the heat death of the universe*

SUCH BEAUTY!!!! @news14-arts BLESSES MY GARBAGE GIRL WITH A CHARM SHE HONESTLY DOESN'T DESERVE!!!!
@silvershadow1711 ‘s small dragon lady nerr deserves love and protection
known about her for almost a year now and honestly?? my favorite myunit character ever invented
Fates had tons of good characters, but the writers' obsession with portraying the playable ones as pure angels when they SHOULDN'T be honestly makes it seem like most of them are Little Timmy's first crappy OC. Having Xander condemn a murderer like Hans while allowing a murderer like Peri to serve him when NEITHER showed signs of being rehabilitated is proof that he's... complex, to say the least (he's actually a raging hypocrite and a TERRIBLE leader, which would be interesting in a character that's meant to be a just leader, but the narrative paints him as a bastion of justice who's somehow... "better"(?) than Garon despite showing in his actions and supports that he really isn't???) Most of the fandom *I've* interacted with acknowledges that the CAST of Fates was passable, at least in terms of broad character strokes, but the actual writing of said characters ruined everything.
The most interesting characters who could have provided lots of backstory for the world at large- ie, Shura, whose people were genocide'd by their neighbors and who was denied asylum by the royal family; Gunther, who's village and family were slaughtered by the king he fought for out of sheer (yandere) pettiness; Flora, who was a political hostage forced to serve ANOTHER political hostage- are all shoved in a corner to make room for the waifus to have every boy tell them why their rampant xenophobia and SERIAL MURDERS are okay. When THOSE are the kinds of characters that get the most "development", it's easy to see why people assume the worst of the cast at large.
ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ don’t @ me please
Inktober is for people who don't fucking detest drawing as much as I do, but I was struck with an idea for my beloved geriatric husbando and HAD to (try and) act on it.
Cross your collective fingers that I don't screw it up in the inking phase...
"Open up your eyes, see the world from where I stand
Me among the mighty; you caged at my command
Open up your eyes, give up your sweet fantasy land
It's time to grow up and get wise..."
No, I'm not dead (I'll outlive every one of you whippersnappers), I'm just... not here. Due to a horrible combination of personal shit, I haven't drawn anything in months, but I was determined to produce SOMETHING for Inktober. I painted this with india ink and JESYS CHRIST, NEVER AGAIN.
The fact that IntSys had all the plot points necessary to make Gunther an amazing villain in Rev and chose not to is proof to me that they're simply incapable of decent writing. Their villains are shit, so there's no hope of a decent narrative from them (here's hoping 3H has decent gameplay, at least...)
"Rotting, decaying, we're fated to fall deep into
The clutches of the earth
Dying since our birth, withering into dirt
To Him, you have no worth..."
So, I was planning on finishing this shortly after the Adrift banner was announced, but then I came down with E coli (so much for lettuce being "healthy"...). BUT! I DID finish it, and considering the dozens of WIPs I have lying around, that's saying something.
Before the "story" was revealed to be some Azura bullshit meant to (badly) justify Big Tits McGee's presence on the banner, I assumed it was going to be Anankos/Loki keeping Corrin in a happy dream!Valla to keep them sedated and thus, unable to kill him. Mikoto and Camilla would be there because Corrin sees both of them as a mother figure, and the dream state can't decide which one is right. TT reward would've been possessed Gunther, who also fits the parent mould and whom Anankos is puppeting to coax the Corns into not waking up.
Nerr has LOTS of experience with these too-good-to-be-true dream states and is suspicious af. I will also take every opportunity to draw Gunther as naked and scarred as possible.
"You no longer believe that your faith can set you free~"
"Then, will you bring deliverance to me?"
A WIP of my newest project. I'm not a jjba fan, but I AM a DC Douglas fan, and learning that Gunther was going to voice this "Kira Cuine" fella was enough to pique my interest and consequently make me care about anime for the first time in a decade??
(I'm totally not invested just to giggle as daddy DC talks about boners again)
EDIT-
i'm always terrified of art until I ink it. Then it looks good, until the horror of color rolls around. Why is art so scary???
"(S)he's a killer queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guarenteed to blow your mind"
Oh. My. Fucking. God. This was much more labor intensive than I originally assumed it would be, for several reasons- my watercolors are VERY translucent and have to be built up over many layers. I have to mix any ahade of purble darker than a pale violet and I'm not good at that. And I had a migraine that wouldn't go away for about 4 days. THAT is the main reason I can't deal with a background- it would never get done. I was terrified of fucking it up with the ink, but I kept repeating the immortal words of Bob Ross- "there are no mistakes, only happy accidents".
Regardless, please accept my humble offering of best husbando as the crazy hand man. Making Gharnef into Killer Queen was hard because I couldn't figure out how to balance their traits, but I think this was a good compromise.
Conquest!Corrin: "I just feel so guilty when I kill Hoshidans in self defense. I want peace- I don't want to hurt anyone, but when other people I can't control murder the people I did everything in my power to protect, that's MY fault. Maybe those assassins are right, and I should just let them kill me..."
Birthright!Corrin: "Golly gee whiz, I sure am okay with going out of my way to slaughter Nohrians en masse!"
Fates has a clear message- violence is WRONG... when used against the "good guys". If you attack someone we say is good in self defense, you're a bad person and you should feel bad. You run into trouble with someone we say is bad because you break into a place with the intention to steal something you could probably easily buy? Just fucking murder EVERYONE. It's not like those guards were just doing their job before you showed up to steal from them. They're the BAD GUYS; their lives don't matter!
If a video game wants to say “violence is bad” they HAVE do it through gameplay, and not just cutscenes and dialogue.
Can't believe I didn't put this here earlier, but this is something my writer's mind is working on again so hopefully I can put up the next part soon
(putting in all these tags so you know what fandoms are featured in it)
Maybe it could bring those lost pieces back… Those sweet memories of me and your siblings.
hoshido fam ;n; i wish there were more flashbacks of them in-game
The result of a little brain nugget that wouldn’t leave me be. This started as a character sheet that evolved into a whole fracking drawing. This took me like six days to complete and was it worth it? Maybe.
FE Awakening/Fates AU–and no, I’m not going to explain further. If people are interested I might do some character sheets/more art for this au ;)
Side Note: I have decided that I love the blur tool and color dodge layer so I will now be using both all the time. Goodbye normal cell shading. It’s been nice but I’ve found something that does your job but better.
I don't know if you draw FE Fates stuff, but if you do, could I please get a little picture of handsome Prince Xander looking solemn/stern?
Thank you! <3
While it's not one of my main fandoms, I absolutely do draw Fe Fates! Thanks for the request! I hope this is what you were wanting, Dear! :)
