This guy is really something alright. Screenshotting from accounts that blocked him or don't want to talk with him, criticizing a fanfic for not being accurate to canon, being so dead set on that he would tell you "yeah akshually Tellius handled racism great and 3H did it too and 3H handled everything great because Fodlan well written"

To be honest,

Tellius is in this weird situation that it starts like your usual Tales of game, two races who hate each other, racism everywhere, the hero and the cast accepting to work together despite differences and wanting to create a world for everyone...

But it drops the ball hard with the Branded. So hard, that its entire message, as a game in a doylist POV is, imo, inaudible.

It reminds of prehistoric a saga I was reading - a period where neanderthals were coexisting with "modern humans", and one of the neanderthals understood that his race was bound to disappear tin the future, when the new "modern humans" will continue on living.

FE Archanea had the same premises - dragons who are bound to degenerate because apparently it's now time for humans to run the show, and even if the technicites suck, they can still find a way to "coexist" if they nerf themselves and use dragonstones.

It sucks, but at least they don't lose part of themselves like Laguzs in FE Tellius, they just have to seal it and can unseal it when they want.

Still, it completely tanks the main message, how can you have a anti racism message when you know one race will ultimately die out?

As for Fodlan and how it deals with racism...

"Dragon blood is the reason why the world doesn't work" "I want to free the world of Dragon blood" - not withstanding the various depiction of Almyrans lol

#anon #replies #the sheer fact that no one even gives a talk about how humans and nabateans can live together is mad #i basically had to craft Willy from scratch to make sense of this in the various AUs and hc i come up with #is it because Supreme Leader's core DNA at least in FE16 is to reject Nabateans? #and earl grey means we have to be able to side with her? #no FE game is truly well written but some games have more holes than others #FE16

Does Queen Eve have Nabatean ancestors? (a random head canon that emerged from a joke about the fierene royals being Dimileth's descendants)

1: Her eyes.

Queen Eve's eyes are made of three different colours: 3, 4, and 5.

3 (the top part of Eve's eye) is a close match for Byleth's in game model (1), but with more of a turquoise reaction image Byleth's hue (2). Byleth has a Nabatean's power and the blood of a Nabatean.

4 (the middle colour of Eve's eye) is an almost exact match for Seiros' (6) but slightly more vibrant. Seiros is a Nabatean.

5 (the bottom colour in Eve's eye (which is less prominent)) is an almost exact match for Lilith's eye. Why include Lilith? Well, she is also a sky dragon, albeit from a different game, but it still probably has significance. Nabateans are just sky dragons, so that could be why there's yellow in the eyes? (is this kind of far fetched? yes. But its also fun so...)

2: Hair (this is probably more far fetched, so bear with me!)

Her hair gets ever so slightly more green towards the bottom of it. I thought that was just an entertaining detail until I rewatched the Seiros cutscene.

Her hair is the same blonde as Eve's but with green tinges at the bottom. This implies that as Nabateans age, their hair turns green, but starts out blonde.

Flayn and Seteth's are the same. Blonde with green at the tips. (this is from the 3 warriors opening cutscene). Also, the curls in Flayn's hair are very similar to Eve's

Anyway. This has no real point. I have a head canon that Eve is a descendant of Nabateans of some variety (though very much mixed with human, I'm not saying Eve is a dragon by any stretch). So... fun head canon with a smattering of canon proof (?) mixed in lol

Was I the only one whom was kinda disappointed that Rhea/Seiros was so nice & Nemesis was just an evil graverobbing brute? I thought it would've been very unique if the ugly old bandit turned out to be a hero & the beautiful woman whom was also a holy dragon, was actually a ruthless dictator. It would've turned FE stereotypes on its head, IMAO. Not saying Rhea is evil/Nemesis is good in anyway, just it could've been interesting if our expectations were reversed for once.

Well, I actually feel the opposite?

Cuz like, If Rhea was evil and Nemesis was good, then it would have just been another Church Bad storyline. The Church and Rhea are deliberately set up to appear as though they are shady, while Nemesis is consistently propped up as being a good guy - the King of Liberation, who once freed Fodlan of tyranny, only to tragically fall to the very power he used to help others. There's a very clear idea the game wants the players to pick up on at the beginning of the game, and it's Rhea Bad Nemesis Good. The out-of-context first cutscene of the game has Rhea killing the shit out of Nemesis, before cradling a bloody sword and calling it her mother - not. The best first impression, gotta say.

It's only through playing through the game that you realize that oh, wait, Rhea isn’t acting weird because Evil, she's just. Like that. Like she wants to be closer to everyone around her but she's just extremely awkward + her position as archbishop dissuades people from talking to her in a familiar way. And also that, uhhh, Nemesis is bad. Like really bad. Like, holy shit was he the absolute scum of the earth. It turns everything on the player's heads! It skews with that initial impression players have on Rhea, and puts her actions in context! And it let a character be genuinely morally gray, which wouldn't be the case if she really were as evil as that first impression made her out to be.

Now if Rhea was an “unattractive” older man (beauty is pretty subjective put you get the idea) and Nemesis an attractive woman, with the same narrative roles as they do in the game? That could have been interesting! But the subverted expectations that we got in the game are more impactful than just “but what if pretty woman were bad not ugly man” because of all the context the game gives the two of them.

And, uh. Uhhh. Um. Like. Compared to like. Compared to like other FE bandits - or hell even by himself - Nemesis is. Uh. Kinda hot ngl. So "ugly old bandit" is kinda subjective here lmaooo

#ask #anon #exqueuese me princess #Renold the Nabatean archbishop facing off against his most hated enemy... uh...

"I'll tend to the flame, you can worship the ashes" For FE OC Week: Relationships. My Nabatean oc, Temair, contemplating a vision of his younger sister Seiros while resting in the reflection pool of his castle in Fhirdiad. Maybe he can see a small glimpse of the future. Maybe he's simply thinking of how much they've lost in many years since the calamity...

I’ve been so insanely busy that I’ve barely even gotten to start three hopes and this is my most important take so far. Listen I don’t want a PEEP out of y’all in the notes about whether or not Arval ends up being being a villain later in the game. If they want to betray us they’ll just have to do that I don’t care I enjoy them immensely

#the rabid Fódlan historian (me) is SHAKING thinking about how I know Arval is connected to the agarthans I KNOW IT #mmmmm one of my very favorite parts of fe3h lore is the whole story between the Nabateans and the Agarthans #I’m just vibrating at extreme speeds because of the war of heroes cutscene at the beginning because I’m also obsessed with that #listen listen listennnnn I KNOW I’m behind #I’ve been busy okay I’m STILL busy *weeps* #i just want to play my silly little fantasy rpg please #fire emblem #fire emblem three houses #fire emblem warriors three hopes #fe3h #few3h #fire emblem memes #fe3h memes #arval #arval fire emblem #fe arval

[cake-wlk]

the one thing that annoys me most about three houses/hopes is that it has one of the most unique worlds out of all fire emblem games and then doesn’t even develop the things that make it unique

like there’s so much they could do if they confirmed sothis is an ‘alien’ of sorts and actually focused on why the agarthans are so pissed off at sothis i mean she literally steals their home and burns an entire continent when they try to reclaim it from her

i’m not excusing the fucked up things the agarthans did towards the nabateans, but holy fuck, i just want the story to focus on being less black and white

arval would’ve been such a fantastic way to glimpse into the society of the agarthans and learn the definite truth about fodlan’s past, but they just didn’t deliver us anything other than another pissed off agarthan that raises more questions, than answers the ones we already had

#fe #ignore me #i just want to see fodlan from the perspective of an agarthan #we constantly get information from nabateans and we already know how much rhea twists history and the truth just to get her own way

Musing on Sitri's corpse and death arrangement--it's been discussed before, but Rhea comes from Nabatean culture, which seems to have different death arrangements than humans. This is likely due to the corpses not normally deteriorating the way human corpses do. Even after a little over twenty years, Sitri's corpse does not display evidence of decay.

Moreover, having her kept on a stone altar allows Rhea and other family (like Byleth, later) visit her to pay their respects in a way that is just as tangible as visiting Jeralt's grave. But I thought of this because of a video on human skin books. The only ones who should have control over Sitri's death arrangements are her living family, assuming that she didn't have any specific wishes of her own...largely because her perspective is under-played or almost non-existent in Three Houses. If Byleth, for example, would not want her to be buried, then there would be no reason to do so.

Part of the problem with how portions of the fanbase view this matter is the suspicion towards Rhea's motives. Of course, White Clouds initially makes Rhea seem mysterious and someone you should be cautious around, but you learn that she is more of a complicated, overtaxed lady with way too much going on in her life. So this suspicion is directed at her even for the mourning she shows to her professed daughter-figure. That she would not have buried her is treated as a nefarious dealing--surely, she must have some ulterior motive! Or perhaps she's experimenting on Byleth's mother!

Note that Aelfric IS the one trying to use Sitri's corpse for his own ends. He was her friend, but also someone with a romantic attachment to her that never let go; and unlike Rhea, who also does not want to let go of any of her family, he takes this to the extreme, going against what Sitri would have wished for. In this way, not only are the Nabateans' death rites disrespected, but also Sitri's autonomy.

With the human skin books, one question posed is whether it can ever be moral to produce or own those books. Many of the people who had their skin used were victimized posthumously, and now, they are only remembered in the context of being the binding of a book. How the books are treated by library staff plays a large part in whether the deceased are believed to be respected now, potentially given a dignity they were not given at the times of their deaths (and perhaps, even in their lives). Private collectors have an even bigger responsibility, as the remains of the deceased can so easily be oggled at, given no context or memory of their lives. Treated as, "Ooh, macabre aesthetic."

Even for those who consented, perhaps even eagerly, to become 'immortalized' in this way, a level of care is often discussed. For any human remains, willing or not, much of their postmortem affairs rely upon the presence and awareness of any remaining family or loved ones they may have, should they even have any.

I'm kinda off my shits, not gonna lie, which has led to the rambling nature of this post. But I think a lot of the questions raised by human-remains bookbinding are applicable to Sitri's situation, as well as the fates of the Nabateans who were (very much unwillingly) made into Relics. Burying them, I think, may not be a respectful answer to giving them dignity in death, given what little we know of Nabatean customs regarding death.
