(un)fun facts about a lot of fire emblem's general plot lines regarding the iffy issues of bloodline and just rulers
tldr: this is actually me talking about fafnir. this guy.
Tumblr media
the mandate of heaven was a olde china idea that confucius thought up and it was an argumentative basis for why people (ie the common folk) should have the right to overthrow their rulers when the government wasnt doing their job. basically if they revolted and succeeded in a time of extreme strife (natural disasters, famine etc), it meant the heavens was giving them a big kissy approval.
the idea of divine bloodline was used as an argumentative for some dynasties for why people should follow their rule but obviously it clashed with this 'mandate of heaven' after it was introduced and people felt empowered to depose their rulers. this idea stuck around and it's easy to see why: it gave power to the people.
800 years after confucius' time, there are now 3 religions/philosophies. these 3 are confuciusm, taoism and buddhism in china, kind of mixing and mingling harmoniously. (Buddhism came 200 years after confucism and was actually seen as a radical religion at the beginning bc people were going up into the mountains to meditate and abandoning their families and not repopulating the villages. this was against confucism's idea of filial piety lol).
also at this time, japan enters the picture.
japan copied a lot of china's government system and language bc they thought china was pretty neat. and with pretty much all monarchy related systems at the time, they imported alongside the ideologies to holding power and they... uh, decided to chop out the small mandate of heaven part. japan's rulers viewed divine bloodline as an absolute must to cement their power so this bit cannot stay.
close to this one japanese dude also decided to set off to find buddhism which was more spiritual and ended up importing buddhist scriptures from korea. this was then further mixed into the already present Shintoism they have, and also over time some hindu gods were adopted into their pantheon, resulting in a specific blend of the Shinto Buddhism today. essentially, Japan as we know came about like this. (but also oh so many warlords and shogunate shenanigans along the way...)
now it obviously doesnt require too much to immediately see the biggest problem with giving power to someone just because of their bloodline. nepotism can result in some very messy bad times for the people if the ruler is incompetent and people cant depose them because of <insert belief here>. cough one step away from cough fascism
so fire emblem, a series of games made by japanese devs, seems to sit in this weird grey area where it commits both ideas often in a mishy mashy way. it shows both. the mandate of heaven in the form of Divine Dragons/the players giving the heroic protagonist with the correct bloodline the okay occurs so often it's a main staple of the series. this is effectively a double approval from both sides. pretty much all mcs who become rulers by the epilogue gets this treatment.
anyway this is a lot of words to talk about Fafnir but i think my point is pretty clear.
Tumblr media
Fafnir, despite starting out as a fair and kind ruler after getting isekai'd himself, gets absolutely screwed over mentally and then physically because of Eitri's shenanigans in getting him to put on a crown that messes anyone but the correct bloodline up in donning it.
on a more broader theme level i could argue he failed both conditions of having a mandate of heaven as a consequence of not having the correct bloodline, and is therefore punished for it. but honestly it's a very nasty can of nepotism filled worms when viewed from this perspective.
sure, he succeeded in enacting the mandate through revolting with the people, but his rule was short and wasnt his to keep ultimately...
in the end it's reginn who gets the double approval treatment.
i can see it as something like a tragedy at least. fafnir gets screwed thrice over by eitri, his circumstances and the narrative... and not for any evil efforts or evil intentions at the beginning.

So not a ship or anything but still fun, do you have any hc’s about Fafnir and Koran bonding over being from the same world?
im assuming this is a typo and you mean kiran????
Fafnir:
-Fafnir's memory is slow to return but every now and then Summoner says something that jogs it. They'll say a catchphrase from something like McDonalds and he's just like, it's too bad their isn't any chicken nuggets here. Alfonse is in the background like what's a chicken nugget?
-Him trying to do tasks and feeling like he could of sworn there was an easier way to do something. He'll be hand writing a letter or report, and have that feeling and Kiran will mention the word email, and he's having a full crisis.
-Imagine they are both from the vine era. I do not need to elaborate further because the shenanigans are self-explanatory.
-Fafnir and Summoner trying to figure out how he even learned how to fight and where his drive for revolution came from. And coming to the conclusion he's either a huge nerd or always had a deep desire for change.

You can tell that aot merch really inspired me...
It's a random idea, but I enjoyed drawing these. Plus, characters in baseball outfits are always hot -w-
It also helped me learn to color fast :-) don't try too hard and blur the shading 👍

@polast-u-s
this hinges more on my interpretation of kiran so if you’ll humor me, i’ll start explaining why
so im working off the idea that kiran is a fire emblem nerd isekai’d into FEH. from there, i extrapolated a couple of common possible traits a person like that might have
possessiveness of heroes. the player would likely try not to let their fav FE unit go if they wanted to leave
obsessiveness. the player wouldve likely dug up all kinds of info relating to their fixation, be that lore or character wise. in short, imagine a player walking up to you and immediately going ‘btw i know of your most embarrassing vulnerable moment bc ive been watching over u! uwu’. (fuck that shit lmao)
arrogance/hubris. FEH is medieval and we’re technologically advanced so the natural assumption for some people is we just know better, for example
and if we assume that the leads in FE games are their avatar, or their window to look into the worlds, then you can start to see that an isekai’d person like that starts to have a perception of time in the same way a god or a divinity would. 2 years in fire emblem awakening would have been 5 minutes for us, for example.
and now, what if this player had a sense of how the FE world and its political systems should be? what if we had nothing but a single FE game world, say arachnea, and we see marth ascend the throne, only to see one of his descendants fucking things up in the next game. now, if the player now had the direct power to change things… would they possibly get rid of this descendant who has failed their expectations? maybe restore the nation marth built, through his journey of sacrifice, tragedy and blood, instead of watching it waste away?
you know, kinda like what eitri did?
replace marth with any FE royals meant to ascend the throne. alfonse, chrom, dmitri, alfred, alear, absolutely whoever and whatever. same thing applies.
eitri has all 3 traits i mentioned above. they're loyal to Niðavellir’s first king, possessive of his country and obsessed enough to engineer a crown that drives everyone but the ‘correct’ bloodline crazy. their arrogance is what ultimately does them in, their hubris borne out of that first love and obsession.
they summon heroes and breaks them, kiran summons heroes and seems to at least implant a suggestion. as far as i can tell, no matter how you’re meant to read kiran, they’re meant to come off as benevolent, so those three traits can be present, but not expressed overtly.
(as a thought exercise, would YOU let go of the unit you sunk orbs and feathers for? to build? if this was a real situation and these were real actualized people, are you, the player, benevolent?)
so when eitri says in their recording left for the summoner at the end of book 5:
youtube
@1:34: “And you, what incredible self-righteousness! Do you really think you’re any different?”
my thought when i saw that was just: ‘i love this antagonist holy shit’
uh anyway yeah thats why i think eitri is a reflection of the player. i might be reading too hard into this, but here u go.
as a final note, i think fafnir is a reflection of the player as well, but far more ignorant than anything. both kiran and fafnir are isekai’d into FE, and i think if there exists a player who is arrogant enough, they could totally take out alfonse and take over askr. but kiran doesnt despite the power they are clearly gaining as time goes on. i also read this as the world of FE punishing an outsider stepping too far out of line, so maybe its a good thing kiran didnt try to do exactly what fafnir did.
