#but it'd be nice

"I am to be a king of a ruined world and I shall never die"

Gonna make this my graduation yearbook quote in honor of my favorite 250 year old pathetic evil apocalypse-starting bureaucratic catboy homophobic gay twink man.

I feel like it really describes my vision for myself and the world around me going forward <3

#elias bouchard #the magnus archives #yeehaw #tma shitpost #god cleanse my soul with fire i need help #i am at death's door and the only thing holding me back is one wet cat evil mastermind wannabe of a fictional man #you think you've won pero all this time basang sisiw ka lang talaga #it's okay there's room in the ruined world for creatures like you #no? okay well there's room for you in my heart #rest in peace elias i hope there's still pots for you to stir in the afterlife #you don't deserve it #but it'd be nice #no?

Fort Merceus was built back when the Empire was only about the size of Hresvelg territory. They constructed the massive military base in order to subdue other clans in the area. After that, it ended up serving as the guardian of the Imperial capital, and kept getting updated and expanded. The rest is history.

From a Nopes Adrestian NPC

Which means

(graphic design is not my passion)

Between -41 and 0, we know Enbarr existed, but Willy Hresvelg was a Lord/the Lord of Enbarr.

Jury's out on what Enbarr encompassed - if it was just a city or a city + provinces, but in 0, Adrestia is founded with Enbarr as its capital, officially due to the presence of Seiros, but if it was Willy's domain/city to begin with, I can see why they picked it as the capital of the Empire.

Was it at that point that Enbarrian territory stopped being "Enbarr Provinces" and started to become "Hresvelg Territory" or it happened earlier (Willy conquering neighbour provinces before become Emperor, for Enbarr, but ultimately for him/the Hresvelg house?), or did the "Hresvelg Territory" encompass the conquests, between 0 and 32 of the most southern parts of what is now Adrestia, Boramas, Rusalka, etc, with the river with Aegir being a kind of natural border?

32 : Willy wants to unify the world

It'd make sense to have Merceus built around that time, both to protect what was already Adrestian/Enbarrian/belonged to the Hresvelg, and to have a base of operations closer to the new "lands to be conquered" than Enbarr.

Someone on Redshit made a detailed map thanks to Nopes's informations (and some guessing) and placed Fort Merceus here :

At the exit of the sort of "canyon" that is identified as "Merceus" in the general map, near the source of a river (there is a fork thing). It's kind of a strategical point, given how any army, to reach Enbarr, would have to cross the "Merceus canyon", because east of that canyon there is the Aegir River, and west of said canyon there are some mountains.

46 : Battle of Gronder 1

Things were going well for Adrestia between around 32 and 46, if they were able to reach Gronder in 46.

Sure, compared to the fast war that happens in the game, you'd have to wonder why the fuck did they take 14 years to reach Gronder, but it kinds of make sense with the idea of Adrestia building its strength slowly to ultimately be strong enough to challenge Nemesis, or the Empire wanted to make sure the newly conquered provinces were "correctly Adrestianised" before pushing forward, so they wouldn't rebel and stab Willy in the back or turn against a defenseless Enbarr if the main army is fighting up north?

Myrrdin

Ignatz notes how the Bridge of Myrddin was made during the War of Heroes - it has the same strategical value as Fort Merceus, making a fort in the only chokepoint (mountains on one side and huge river on the other) both to protect what is already Adrestianised, and to have a new base of operations.

91 Tailtean 1 : Rhea turns Nemesis in a pincushion

Between Gronder - which more or less took 14 years to reach from Merceus to Tailtean, the Adrestian army either accelerated their pace, or stopped taking a crap lot of time to "pacify/Adrestianise" the newly conquered provinces, given how in 45 years they managed to cross the Alliance and a large part of what is now Faerghus.

However, given how in 98 it is said the Empire is in control of "most" of Fodlan, I suppose they also spent time "conquering/Adrestianise" the Eastern parts of the continent, like Eastern Adrestia and Eastern Faerghus, because I sure as hell don't see Willy+Lycaon+Seiros rushing to Tailtean if half of Fodlan is still siding with Nemesis, and "pacifying/conquering" this half in the 7 years following Nemesis's defeat.

(and given how this other half encompasses Rhodos, where Cichol lived and how Seiros met him and his family there per Flayn's support, either she went like a ninja to meet them, or it was "safe enough" for her to walk from Enbarr to Rhodos - or Seiros the Warrior, just after Zanado, first went to Rhodos before going to Enbarr?)

Tl; dr : Adrestia started slowly, at least until the new Empire reached Myrrdin. Willy Seiros built forts in strategical positions/chokepoints to protect what was already Imperial Land, and also to have new bases of operation as the army moved up north.

However, we don't have any clues or info about forts and bases being built post Myrrdin (which can only have been built post 46), so it can be assumed post 46, when the Adrestian Army started to fight the Elites and their allied clans, they didn't have the same motivation anymore, even if taking roughly 50 years to reach the Tailtean Plains, given how fast the war happens in the Fodlan games, either means they were all foot units and had a crap mov stat back then, or the Adrestian Conquests of back then weren't just "kill the leader and move forward" like we see in Tru Piss (and Supreme Bullshit?) but might have been something closer to "kill the leader, bring enough 'order' to the newly conquered lands and Adrestianise them so they won't rebel, maybe let Seiros do her thing with her church stuff, ask people around if they know about "golden weapons", and then move forward".

It's all conjecture, of course, given how we don't have enough intel, but with the presence of those forts and the abnormaly long time it took for the Adrestian Army to conquer Fodlan and deck Nemesis, even if he and his Elites put up a fight with the help of Mole People, I can't really explain nor understand why it took around 65 years for Willy to conquer Fodlan.

In comparison, Supreme Leader "only" takes 5 years in FE16 (and that's only because she was "very sad uwu" when Billy fell in a ravine in Tru Piss), but Nopes shows how starting the War of Unification when her home base/state isn't "orderly" enough bites her, in Nopes Aegir Sr who wasn't "dealt with" rebels and we have bits of pseudo civil wars (even if it's always subdued thanks to the Supreme rule of thumb regarding the Fodlan games), in AG she ultimately becomes Supreme Puppet because dealing with evil lizard lady was more important than making sure Uncle'n'pals were "dealt with", which also happens in Supreme Bullshit.

So, in a way, Supreme Leader conquered Fodlan way faster than her stupid ancestor did (5 years vs 60) but she had to face opposition and rebellions within her own forces, let it be by people she deposed and called a day (Aegir Sr) or her embarassing allies - she either "deals" with them after the Conquest, or forgets to deal with them and it destroys Adrestia (AG) or is another surprise force she has to fight against (but ultimately succeeds because she has a plot mc guffin siding with her, or an imbecile who does all of the heavy work for her).

#war of heroes stuff #adrestia stuff #pre imperial era #sort of #rather early adrestia #i don't really have any explanation for why willy's conquest took so much time #but i love the tidbits about them building forts #and those forts are still used 1k years later as forts lol #modern AU Rhea can be a heart surgeon or work in construction let it be to build forts to canals or run a charity or can run a school #It's like Barbie and her 44536 jobs #with Ken!Willy just being there #I'd love for something retracing the War of Heroes #of course it will never happen and I don't have enough knowledge to write a fic about it #but it'd be nice #FE16 #3 Nopes #honestly the discourse for those games might be catastrophic #but bar that the fandom is really dedicated like that redshit person made a map #some people compile both audio and written lines to datamine websites #it's super cool and it's a shame the discourse overshadowed everything positive the fans of those games did

I feel like some sort of modelling clay would be the best way to give the 12 Worlds some sort of visual flair, considering my lack of artistic skills. Which sucks, because I have no fucking clue where to get any.

Now that For the Future aired

can I delight you all with my wish-of-wishes that, instead of dying, Belos' ultimate fate will be being turned into a puppet by the Collector? Forever trapped in his own dying body- a hell of his own making -and forever stuck as the form he truly is: a monster. And now, forever someone else's puppet.

That'd be cool.

BUT!

I'd like a karmic death with "nooooooo I never killed all the bitches bros before hoes" woe-ing too.

I am vaguely aware that Orpheus is still around somewhere (...or his head is, at least? I’ll get my hands on the comics I promise) but this, 

So that we may finally talk about our son…and…grieve him properly?

Just. Something about two immortal, all-powerful, endless beings -quite literally, in his case- going through such a human experience. Calliope is asking him to cry, to grief, to feel this loss they both had, and to do so together because they couldn’t before, because gods rarely need the support of another.

I am not an attention seeker or whatever some would call people however it kinda stings when I see my friends interacting with each other's creations like art or OCs (like actually conversing) whenever shared but then when I try to share my stuff only a few people interact like with hearts or something but don't even really say anything and it just kinda bursts my bubble ngl

like there's one person that is an exception but other than that I'm just sitting wondering what's wrong with my stuff that no one wants to talk 💀⁉️

#olive's rambles #I don't expect anyone to talk to me about my creations #but it'd be nice #considering everyone else talks to one another 90% of the time #meh #I'll get over it #it's not like I'm gonna stop making stuff #cus that'd be silly #also this isn't about Tumblr it's Discord [shocking innit]

U get used to the straight men actors in gay roles kissing so hard n hungry their noses are in danger so ur like yeah that's just how straight men kiss other men I guess and then u see straight actors in gay roles kissing like grandparents at church who stopped loving each other years ago and no longer know how to feel passion and ur like ok what gives. How did u get that role. Do u know how many straight actors would kill to be gay for pay on that camera? I'm calling Gael García Bernal.

#this is specifically abt STRAIGHT actors playing gay roles obv it'd be nice to have more gay actors in the roles but that's not what im #discussing. and the straight actresses playing dykes is a whole other topic tbh it's more of an exception for them to not look uncomfortable #tcp

There's a special pain that comes from not knowing how to make your long-snouted dog people kiss properly.

i know not many people would want to read a 10,000 word article about the minecraft end poem and how the author, Julian Gough, was never fairly compensated for his work and has made it public domain.

But it's a very well-written and heartfelt read, and he makes it very clear that none of this is a cash-grab and despite the fact that he is essentially a starving artist in this capitalist society, he only mentions his financial struggles despite Minecraft's huge huge success at the bottom of this article and not in the tweets so as to not dilute his message.

Anyway, I just think it'd be cool if those who are able to could support him in some way whether it be subscribing to his substack or donating to his paypal (that's linked in the article, you can ctrl + F to find it easier), that's all.

#Edit: Please look at the article for his paypal and his substack!! most ppl are reblogging a version where i didnt mention it oh gosh #im not really. the kind of person to make posts like this and i dont have the spoons to make it look nice. #my tumblrs not that visible anyway so i guess it doesnt actually matter #i just think that understandably not many ppl would read through the entire article and it makes me so sad that even in the article #he talks about how badly he just wants to make art and not play the capitalism game and still he doesnt talk about needing support #on the platforms where it'd be most visible bc he doesnt WANT to play the capitalism game even if society dicates it and its meant to #be an act of LOVE and just. yeah. #minecraft #minecraft end poem #mineblr
