smth smth quick and sloppy for the fourth anniversary of this game, despite being exhausted. happy fourth to 3h, to fucked up blue guy, to sexy glow in the dark jesus. this game really is one of the things I hold dearest and find most personally important out of all the media I've interacted with, and I'm so glad to have been partaking since 2019 :^]

I can't understand the camp that thinks Byleth is a boring protagonist when they really are just Some Guy who knows nothing about Christianity but ends up unwillingly becoming the de facto pope because the current pope has mommy issues

They just wanna fish and vibe, they're sarcastic and tired and autistic, they just go along with Everything because they're ride or die, to the point where they end the game being monarch or pope just Because, how is that not hilarious and endearing

#byleth eisner #fe3h #i love them so much #im biased because 3h was my first game but??? #truly they're so fun #theyre loyal and compassionate and autistic and funny as shit #christina.txt #fe

[self-shipper-snowdrop]

its better than the engage chara designs

You are right but anon that is a low bar to clear-

Like yes you are right but that bar is so low. I'm not sorry but FE: Engage looks so ugly I am in tears. Why is the protagonist toothpaste. Why does half the cast look like they belong in pokémon instead. What the HELL are those spikes on Ivy's outfit. Why do almost none of them look like they're from the same game-

#from daydreams to text #no offence but I hate the FE Engage designs they are not good #They are either colourless or 500% saturation it is an eyesore #The mom looks nice but that's it #They release a masterpiece [FE3H] and then. we get this #Listen Fates was not great but at least the designs and characters were really good #this is my nightmare #Why the FUCK is Ivy wearing actual ankle boots that look like rubber??? WHY????? #All the reviews I read say ''the combat is solid but the story and characters are garbage'' which is REALLY BAD #one of them said ''it's a good game; but not a good Fire Emblem game'' #If you want to get into the FE series DO NOT START AT ENGAGE #Please play like;;; Awakening first #Or Three Houses it's very accessible to people who enjoy varying difficulty ranges #Engage makes my eyes want to die #My garbage OCs are better composed than this #and I don't say that lightly

[todayisafridaynight]

this isn't related to rgg at all but finding out you're also a fire emblem fan was great... first the mention of the ike figure then the insane por prices LMAO? i had no idea... what games have you played?

Back In My Day i was known as ‘the eliwood/elihec guy’ and on occasion The Ike Guy LOL but yeah…. Guilty as charged……

As for the games ive played ive played Shadow Dragon (DS remake), Shadows of Valentia, and then FE6-FE3H + FEW (minus Heroes of Light and Shadow)

im an asshole for playing on authentic software hence why i skipped out on FE1-FE5 but maybe one day ill stop being annoying and pick them up on an emulator. Or IntSYS remakes them <- doubtful (well. The rest of the JP-exclusive games anyway lol)

#snap chats #FE is like my DQ honestly LMAO i love the games so much #tho… cant say that nowadays… i havent played any of the new ones since FE3H #no particular reason aside from maybe not being too much of a fan of the art style #but i could just be a true geezer at heart and prefer the old pixel/portrait art of the 2000’s era #SoV’s portrait art is gorgeous tho. that games SOOOO good berkut’s still one of my fave antags to this day #oh but. in case you couldnt tell. FE7 was one of my faves to post for a while LMAO #it was the first game i got to play since my bro got it and let me play it #he also had sacred stones so i played that once i was done with FE7 #then i played brawl and fell in love with ike. as in Big Sword And He Punches/Kicks People #so….. i saved up to buy PoR and later Radiant Dawn (tho i got RD for. MUUUCH much cheaper) #and i mean i always thought marth was cute. And A Girl so when i was able to i got SD #not my favorite game ngl the cast was just. too huge and not memorable but i still love marth as a character #at some point i figured id try to play FE6 and bought a japanese copy (that i had ray chase sign actually) #the hit rate is fucking. ABYSMAL. and my JP was even worse than it is now BUT we got through it #the tellius games def have my fave cast and lore tho and i love the music. and Por do be on my baby the gamecube #and then i got awakening because my childhood bestie- who never played FE before- loved it a million so i figured why not #and then. My Insane Ass. she bought birthright and so of course i bought conquest #but then i heard about the removed features in the JP versions so i bought those and gave her my conquest copy #and then i paid her to homebrew my 3DS because I Am Stupid. so did i pay an obscene amount of money #to play Arguably the worst FE games Yes. but i got to use my ike amiibo so its ok :) #i love how i talk more bout fire emblem on my rgg blog than on my FE blog LMAO thats just how it be #but yeah those are my FE crimes thanks for listening LOL #i oughta cap it there i been talkin WAAAYYY too long LMAO

Book Bindings

[ID: Digital art of Sylvain and Bernadetta sitting on the floor of the library. Bernadetta pulls her legs into herself while Sylvain gently leans in next to her. Both their faces are semi-obscured by a book Sylvain holds in between them. End ID]

My piece for the Fire Emblem Three Houses gift exchange hosted over on Ao3 and Twitter! Gift for @/crowcinthus ^^ I also busted out my very rusty writing abilities and wrote a short fic for some context.

Word Count: 1332

Characters: Bernadetta, Sylvain (brief mentions of other students, Byleth and Cyril)

Ships: Sylvain/Bernadetta

Other Notes: Post-timeskip, ambiguous route

Ao3 Link

~~~

Bernadetta staggers through the library doors after a mad dash, barely stopping even when she almost crashes into Hilda and then a stray boulder not there five years ago. The floorboards creak their discontent. Finding her way along the wall, she takes a shaky, gulping breath, and collapses.

She really thought she was doing better.

Two weeks ago, when everyone materialized in the Garreg Mach ruins, there was a sweeping sense of relief. As if things had finally slid into place with the sight of each others’ faces. Bernie herself had been drawn into the reunion in those first hours, even daring to step away from the exits.

And then the adrenaline wore away, and with that the appeal. A look around the monastery revealed broken buildings, stripped stables. Too much work for so little a group. The faces she stole glances at were so much more hardened than she remembered. Maybe they’d found time in between escapades to take some tea? That was how they could stand to see each other? In any case, Ferdinand and Lorenz stood with their too-long hair, laughing amongst themselves with a tone just too subdued, and the grass under Bernadetta’s feet felt as foreign as on her first day.

She eases off her gloves by the ring finger. Her hands still wear the same ink stains from that calligraphy session the other night… or the ones from two, three years ago, or a decade, she can’t remember. It’s all the same.

The ink covers her fingers, her forearms, and nowhere else; the world has moved on without her.

“They all must be sick of you, that’s it!” She can feel her mouth fluttering on, just as well, without her. “Now Bernie’s done it! The jig is up, they’ve figured out you’re a fraud, they’ll kick you out and send you right back home!” It doesn’t take long for her to slip back into the “useless, worthless, stupid” mantra she knows so well.

So when Sylvain sharps the corner of the library stairs, she doesn’t even notice. 

His footsteps fall harder at the first sight of another, then soften, then pause entirely. Then he rushes down, dropping all the swagger. “Bern, Bernadetta, hey!” Tossing his books to the side, he unhesitatingly slides in. “What’s going on? Can you hear me?”

Her kneejerk reaction is to push him away. Skin-to-armor contact is the chilling result, so she pulls back in. Now there’s nowhere to go. She’s gotten herself cornered. All she can do is stare.

Yet Sylvain doesn’t make a move, except to raise his hands in surrender. The ruffles of his hair fall in a different cadence, she observes, but no more than the wind can tussle them. He still has the same smooth lips, that after a long moment of silence finally open to ask: “...Do you want to talk about it?”

With the clench of her throat holding her back, she can only shake her head.

“I got it. Totally fine.” He carefully takes a seat next to her, beckoning to their surroundings. “Let’s take a minute, alright? What do you see?”

“Uh… books,” she tries, “lots and lots of books. I mean, duh, it’s a library, the dominion of knowledge, that’s never going to change...” Sylvain nods for her to go on. “…It’s quiet for early evening, though. Like the kind of quiet you get when you sneak in after hours - which I totally never did to avoid everybody - but I mean not evening-study-group quiet, not people quiet, not that kind. And there’s rubble over there. And everywhere. That’s unfortunate…” Is she shivering again? “And that sh-shelf’s caved in… my favorite one actually, and now it’s broken, split right in half, and- Oh, I can’t do it!” 

“Yeah, okay, breathe… it’s a lot to take in at once, I understand. Why don’t we try something a bit more manageable?”

With that, he scoops the top book off his pile and flips to a page in one swift motion. “‘The white-haired young man, still groggy, reached out for the hand of the figure in blue. He almost didn’t notice the strange mark on his own hand, a pattern of eyes snaking steadily upward.’ Do you want to continue from here?” 

Bernadetta gingerly grazes the edges, then skips a little further in. “Let’s see… ‘Narrowly dodging a swing from the masked swordsman, Chrom growled, Tell me. Who taught you to fight like that? He received another swing in response.’”

“That’s a pretty interesting one. I haven’t gotten far, but I heard it saved the series.”

“Uh-huh.” She picks up another and reads out a line. “This is one of the old magic textbooks, isn’t it? And so complicated too… What do you need this for?”

“Just, uh, getting a refresher. I overheard the Professor drafting up their Dark Knight plans for me anyway. Gotta be prepared.” He closes that one a little quicker. “Shall we move on?”

They sift through each title, switching back and forth between pages and lines. The minutes, maybe hours, bleed into each other until the duo comes to a purplish book near the center of the stack.

“‘With a huff-’” Bernie huffs to make a point- “‘Laverne released the arrow into the air and watched it weave through the gathering flock above. She narrowed her eyes to… to its target up a-...’ Hang on.”

She recognizes that scratchy handwriting. And the page numbers line up, albeit on yellowing paper, and the characters and their thoughts and their comforting, familiar world.

This one is hers.

Right on time with her thoughts, Sylvain raises an eyebrow and a smirk. “Seem familiar?”

She brings her eyes up to meet his. “Y-you had it bound?”

“Well, ‘chyeah, I figured why not? Warfare back home can get pretty messy; things disappear all the time. The pages probably would’ve gotten lost too. I know how important this story is to you, so I could at least show it some respect by keeping it together.”

At that, she scoffs. “Hah! Important to Bernie? If it wasn’t for you loving it so much, I would have burned this garbage already.” She’d lost count of how many times Sylvain used to swing by to ask for a chapter update or offer a flowery review. By the end of the school year, she was hiding pages in different places for him to pick up. “I’m surprised you kept it at all, not to mention fancied it up so much.”

“All I did was the casing, I swear. You did all the hard work. It looks different, but the heart of it’s the same.”

She turns it around in her hands, idly running her knuckles along the spine. The heart of it’s the same.

“...It’s nice. Pretty, even! Thank you, Sylvain.”

His smile looks a little more genuine and a little less saucy than usual. “No big deal, just something for a fellow patron of the arts. Are you feeling okay enough to get out of here now? I’d invite you to the dining hall to grab some dinner, but I figure that’s the last place we should go.”

“Yep, not really up for a death wish tonight, sorry! I’m more than ready to head back to my personal haven.” She pauses. “Though, i-if you wanted, you could… walk with me there?”

“I hear you. To your room we go, milady-”

“Hey, anyone in here,” calls a voice sharp as a knock, and suddenly Cyril’s passing by. Sylvain waves a casual greeting, to which he curtly nods back. “Figured as such. Wouldja mind stepping out for the night? I’m closing up early to get some cleaning done.”

She stiffens at the figure who used to be so short now looming above her, but Sylvain rests a steadying hand on her back and helps her up. Hey, on her feet the height difference isn’t actually so large. Maybe she got taller too.

“Come on. Let’s go face the world, together this time.”

i forgot how funny hubert's supports with byleth were

#'i am never going to like you' b rank achieved #im probably getting his s support on my classic playthrough of cf #if i ever finish it because i usually play on casual. playing classic fills me with dread #im at chapter 8?? i believe?? and no one died yet so im doing alright #fe3h is pretty easy. tbh. #like compared to my first fe games (shadows of valentia & fates conquest) fe3h is a cakewalk #its exactly the boredom i got from replaying it on normal/casual a zillion times why im currently replaying it on classic #and i started a normal new game with maddening/casual so thats nice #im ALSO still working on my continuously stacking ng+ file in which i mean to have byleth reach s rank in every single skill #i believe so far this includes two cf runs and i THINK an am run??? #but that am run is so long ago... #my plan is to go vw - the other black eagles route - am - cf #finishing off with cf because by the time ive done those three i WILL be begging for hubert & jeritza to live just this once

[stupitunclehal]

You can understand and sympathize with one character and still disliking them and their morals.

reread that first statement. the emphasis lies on actively hating the other.

as in being willing to die on a hill shitting on them, reading takes from their fans in bad faith immediately, obsessively focusing on writing up metas about how bad and immoral and etc etc etc they are, and ending up sounding like a nationalist for a fictional country.

also I personally don't find fault with any of the lords for their morals. they're all a bunch of college-aged kids with extremely traumatic backgrounds trying to navigate an extremely fucked up continent and deal with the problems that have been dropped in their laps by generations past. they're all doing their best and working with the hand they've been dealt. each route is also semi-discrete bc byleth alters the course of it; the dimitri in CF is not the same as in AM and the edie in CF is not the same as in AM. you only get their "true" character, values, etc through 1. approaching their arcs/motives/charcters in good faith yourself, 2. picking apart each given iteration of a character, and 3. synthesizing it.

and yes, writing off one of them as just a character who Is Bad and You Don't Like is absolutely okay (not everyone needs to engage with media with the same level of analysis or obsessive interest), but it absolutely does make certain aspects of their narratives hit much less viscerally lmfao

#literally made that post more or less to make sure it was reeeal clear what the meta and interpretations on this blog #will look like in the future (as a continuation from the ones on twitter) #bc I know DAMN well that this game's fandom on THIS particular website is horrific #spext #fe #fe3h #sorry for anyone who gets to see that in the tag but... alas it's also my tag for my blog #asks #anonymous #fun fact: dimitri was my first lord in this game and he's my favourite character in the series overall

[creativesplat]

A little ramble to continue my rambles about fe3h and fe engage: Byleth and Past Alear on emotion!

Past Alear viewed emotion as weakness, as defective, but they couldn’t get rid of it, no matter how hard they tried. Laura Stahl’s performance with this was particularly good here. Just the raw emotion hiding behind every word f!Alear says in the English VA of this scene was so powerful. 

“I am thinking a thought that doesn’t belong. I guess I am what I am… a defect. Defect. Defect-“ and on it goes. 

This is when Alear is at their most emotionless (m!alear more so than f!alear at least in the English voice acting) and yet they can’t get rid of emotion. It literally bursts out of Stahl’s performance, but M!alear has hints of it too. 

Byleth, on the other hand, seems to view emotion as a strength, its a sign of their growth the more they feel emotion, but pre-timeskip they struggled so much to emote that the house leaders show surprise when they smile, and their father sees them cry only once. 

“To think the first time I saw you cry… your tears would be for me”

something something the person who wanted to feel emotion struggled so hard to do so something something the person who knew emotion was dangerous couldn't help but feel anyway.

I love these games...

part one, two, three

"You reached out your hand

And I held it in mine,

Side by side we stand

As our hearts slowly entwine.

Stay with me,

As we run towards the edge of dawn

Together we will be set free

As we carve a path of our own,

You will never be alone."

Happy super belated Valentine's to everyone. :]

Gotta admit, I bought a Nintendo Switch just for this game and I don't regret it one bit. Three Houses destroyed my life, in a good way, of course! I was super proud when I got that special title screen after beating maddening. Seriously though, fuck Pass and Poison strike especially in the first 6 chapters. The 24/7 doubling and same turn reinforcements were truly maddening too. Good times!

FE3H was my first Fire Emblem game and now I'm in love with the series! Never thought I'd love tactical RPG and it doesn't hurt that they have amazing characters and stories as well.

Currently, I'm playing FE Engage and Awakening. I read that Awakening's Lunatic especially Lunatic+ is crazy though! Dunno If I hate myself enough to try it!

Having lots of fun playing and hoo boy am I glad I pulled the trigger on this one!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to Fire Emblem: Three Houses! The Fire Emblem game that finally convinced me to get into FE 😂 I was a big Suikoden V fan when Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn came out for the Wii and I was about to get it, but people on forums were like "If you're a Suikoden fan only, you won't enjoy FE because of PERMADEATH and it's REALLY HARD" so I swore them off for over a decade (the irony that I got really into Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn down the road though and I cosplay Ena XD). Fast forward to 2019 when Three Houses was coming out and I got to work with Faye Mata at a convention I was graphic designer for. Her character Petra was so intriguing to me so I ended up binge watching all three routes of the game. I had bought a Timeskip Petra outfit on AliExpress, but due to COVID, it was questionable when I was going to receive it. I got a refund and then sent my friend MagicalAni the funds to help me with the sewing and beading. I did the wig dying and styling, armor work, sword modding, and all the other accessories besides the beading. I also created her tattoos in Illustrator and printed them out on tattoo paper. I ended up getting her school uniform on Miccostumes as well. For that version of her hair, I just braid the wig and call it a day. No separate wig necessary (except the dye does run a bit on the blouse if it's too hot; but that's easily editable if it gets too bad). I've been so lucky to be a part of a few FE3H photoshoots over the years. I am still trying to find a Dorothea to take photos with though!
