#felix is a really good character honestly i just think a lot of more hardcore gamers see just annoying kid who wont shut up

[dimiclaudeblaigan]

Tbh I'm kinda surprised to read that so many people seem to think of Engage as a better entry than 3H in general. The most comments/reviews I saw were praising the gameplay but were often not so fond of the story and/or the characters, and many think it's a step down from 3H. IMO both games have their flaws, different ones at that. I'm not sure if you can even compare them that much bc I feel they focus on different things, with Engage more leaning towards combat and 3H more an storytelling [1]

[2] and lore. It certainly has more touching moments, especially AM was a real rollercoaster of emotions in part II. That being said I don't think the story or characters in Engage aren't nearly as bad as many make them out to be. It has some anime-cliche moments, is sometimes chaotic and feels a little rushed at some points. It's not mind-blowing or anything new, but it's ok. I do like that Alear is not the typical confident hero, though. Gameplay-wise I like both games but I do prefer the

[3] variety of maps in Engage. Overall I think they are both good games, even if I think Engage won't be as popular in fanworks as 3H still is, or at least not that long. But... even though it's completely off topic... the biggest surprise for me was how popular Griss, at least on AO3, compared to other characters. Wtf? lol but to each their own I guess :) Do you have any favorites or even ships from this game?

I think it's because a lot of reviews are explicitly interested in gameplay over story/characters. Usually it's the diehard fans who regularly post about FE content who have mixed feelings on it that are different between gameplay/story. I've definitely seen some fans talk about not enjoying the story as much as Houses', and those reviews who balance their reviews on gameplay/story seem to always be the ones YT regularly recommends to me since they post about FE so often.

Personally I don't think even the gameplay is extremely comparable because they have vastly different combat concepts. Generally I'd say the two games come down to personal preference. I don't think Engage's gameplay is particularly bad so much as it just isn't as fun for me. It's definitely a bit convoluted though, but so was Houses' (like, I rarely used gambits or battalions because of all the menus and I did just fine in gameplay without paying much attention to those).

Both of them honestly just also have too much to do outside of the main content. It's fine not to have it be totally linear, but it's not an experience like Fates where you get some bonuses really quick and get to take a break from the maps. In PoR you get a break and get to manage your units and go through conversations separate from supports and it's a really simple few menus that are easy to get through every chapter. Houses and Engage both have way too much going on outside of main battles and that exhausted me pretty fast. Too much to do, too many menus, too much going on in the maps... All that extra stuff is tiring for me and I just play the games very simply lol. Neither was better than the other for me, honestly.

The characters are a bit bland sometimes, but they're not like, horrendous lol. Some reviews seem to insist they're like, the worst thing FE has ever done with its characters. It wasn't that bad, but I do get bored of them sometimes (mainly because all their conversations have to do with the same things and you don't really learn much about the characters from them).

But then, like I've said before, as a hardcore AM fan, Sylvain and Felix were better in their supports than in the main story because they had a similar problem in the main story. All their lines were the same old stuff and it was tiring that they were clearly better characters than the main story dialogue would give them credit for. Houses definitely had a bit of a similar problem. Bernadetta and Marianne were also pretty one-note characters, though Marianne progressed a bit. Raphael was also very one note, and so was Caspar. See what I mean lol, Engage didn't start this trend. Houses, Fates and Awakening had similar problems, where most of its cast didn't have much depth.

I think Alear didn't have much of an effect on me because FE4 is my favorite game and FE5 is my fourth favorite, and both those games had lords with an extreme lack of confidence. FE5 forget it, my poor baby boy literally locked himself in a room because of a "bad decision" (i hate you august and you were dragon dad's biggest mistake im sorry dragon dad but it's true) that got someone killed and needed a whole paragraphs-long pep talk. He's my favorite lord next to Ike and Dimitri, because they're very outside of the traditional super kind, let's save everyone and be nice people forever, type of lord. They're all angry, revenge driven people, and also people who refuse to accept any kind of injustice and don't accept bullshit. They're very kind, but equally balanced imo. It's not like Marth who is just waaay too far on the sliding scale of kindness lol. Ike would feed a hungry homeless person (he did, canonically, pre-story and during the story) while stabbing some villain at the same exact time and being like 🤷 well you were a piece of shit. Good for my favorite lords because they'd all do that LOL. My scared baby boy will stab you in FE5, but in FE4 his promoted class allows him to wield all weapons in the game except holy weapons and dark magic, so he's a good contender for "do not piss off". :D

I'm probably the only person willing to defend the maps in Houses lol. Since it's a story from different perspectives but it's the same story, it makes sense to reuse the maps. Some of them are unique depending on if you visit that location in another route or not, but if the characters have to visit a certain location in the story, you get the same map so I don't actually mind that. It's not like FE8 where the split routes led the main characters on different paths to reunite (again lol), but a story that has the characters going through the same outlets to reach their destinations.

Somehow I'm not surprised by Griss being super popular since it's one of those whacky unexpected fandom things lol. He's unique at least, and I guess people probably find him very funny. Wouldn't be surprised if it's like a me-and-Jarod thing lol.

My favorite character overall is Alfred, and good for him for staying my favorite from his first trailer appearance to the end of the whole game lol. ALSO good for him for having the only one of two explicitly romantic endings, and you could even argue Kagetsu uses a lot of romantic terminology on the regular anyway so it comes off as more normal for him, versus having a character who isn't normally like that just toss platonic love out the window immediately and being the only one to do it!

Other than him I guess I'd say Diamant and Ivy are my other favorites, and Jean, Yunaka and Panette are below them. Good for Engage for giving me favorites who are equally male and female lol, usually my favorites are all male because the writing for women in fictional media generally just sucks.

Am I the only one who would consider Jean a favorite? Probably lol, nobody seems to like him. Poor boy.

Ships I'd say are Diamant/Alfred as my top one, Alfred/Alear as my equally top one (really I think it's the player pandering that might put it below Diamant/Alfred? It'd be a LOT cuter if it wasn't so player-directed), then some assorted ones would be Diamant/Ivy, a little bit Fogado/Yunaka, and a tiiiny bit Louis/Chloe. ...Oh also Emblem DimiClaude. >:D You weren't getting out of that one!

#DCB Ask

[duckulamoved]

Outer worlds is a Short game and its not fantastic but it lays groundwork for them to do something similar in the future which is good. But I mean it had just enough of what some of my favorite games have that I can’t help but fall in love with it and I love basically all the companions so much. 

#nyoka is growing on me more #parvati felix and max i think are the better characters #felix annoys a lot of people but i see what theyre going for with him hes young and loud and gets it but doesnt quite see the big scope #hes probably in the 19 to 22 age range #and because of a lack of strong figures in his life has a habit of attatching himself to older figures who seem like they share similar #ideas which leads to placing people on pedestals a little too easy if hes not careful which leads to problems with broken spirits #when those people inevitabley ruin his idealized view of them such as what happened with gram and that other dude whos name i forgot whoops #and then god if you play a dickhead of a captain and you do enough felix fucking walks out on you too and his board run ending cards fuckin #broke me dude / #felix is a really good character honestly i just think a lot of more hardcore gamers see just annoying kid who wont shut up #but i think hes a good inclusion to the crew and i love him

Didn’t Need Burrow (March 21st-23rd)

Anonymous said:

technically not a Didn't Need Burrow,,, but~ Didn't Need Burrow to know I'm cherry-picking canon continuity from here on out~

or perhaps,,,, Didn't Need Burrow to know that Marinette's gonna get blamed for things she didn't do and other such bs, oh, and the amount of 'oh adrien~' sighing is gonna be obnoxious.

Oh yeah, that’s definitely on my Treatment of Marinette list. All the time.

(the blame one actually ended up being true, so congrats! Marinette gets blamed for losing miraculouses; yes, she lost the bee, but the one who blamed her has no knowledge of this and could only be referring to the peacock and butterfly.)

Anonymous said:

Didn't Need Burrow: Astruc will tout Lila as HM and Felix as Mayura as being "progressive" and "empowering". But her motivation to get the Miraculous will be something petty like "win Adrien and punish Marinette." Also, all her plans will fail because she didn't listen to her "smart, competent sidekick". Felix will also plot to overthrow her.

Lila: How are you more competent than me???

Felix: Search engines. You don’t seem to be aware that they exist nor the knowledge they have.

No but really, I wouldn’t be surprised. Felix is more sympathetic in a narrative sense (i.e: has a sad backstory) than Lila.

Didnt need burrow: the relationship starts in the last few minutes of the show, with still limited interactions before this, disappointing even hardcore shippers

lol, makes me wish I had fandom reactions as an option for the card.

But if I had, we’d probably have a full card by now.

Anonymous said:

Didn’t Need Burrow: When Marinette gets akumatised, she will be either too op or defeated in 5 minutes. Regardless, she will be blamed for being akumatised in the first place, and the person who caused it will get off scott free. Bonus if “true love kiss” purifies the akuma and Marinette apologizes for feeling emotions.

“Marinette apologizes for feeling emotions” is a good summary of the whole show, honestly.

Anonymous said:

Don’t Need Burrow: The kwamis will be a constant hindrance to Marinette and cause a lot of problems for her but never apologize for it, at least not without an Adrisad- I MEAN KWAMI SAD MOMENT where they’re all “wE jUST mISS mAstER fU”, which results in Marinette apologizing even tho she has nothing to be sorry for bECaUSE tHEres jUST nOt eNOUgh oF tHAt iS tHEre 😑

god, I’m not emotionally ready for Marinette feeling bad on the grounds that she’s “not Master Fu” so the kwami either prefer him or won’t stop thinking about him (excluding the fact that he doesn’t let the kwami out like Marinette does but sure buddy).

Don't need Burrow: Ms Bustier will go on maternity leave and be replaced by a deputy teacher who is a completely new character. This deputy teacher will only appear in this episode and basically only to be akumatized by Hawkmoth and will not be even mentioned in any other episode.

How convenient.

Didn't Need Burrow: they're gonna try to blame the Order falling on Marinette even though that happened nearly 200 years before she was born

Thankfully, this didn’t end up happening, but they did however not mention that Marinette was the one who saved them in the first place.

zodiacspirit17 said:

Didn't Need Burrow;

Adrimi will be together for at least halfway through the season, while Lukanette breaks up in episode one

Because Marinette has to suffer

I see the logic behind this, but the only reason I’d say “no” is because of the Love Square Status Quo. I’m feeling that it ends in episode 2 or so.

[letters-from-the-three-houses]

Ooooooofffff who are you gonna pair up???

!!! :D

the first half answers the question proper and is probably what i’m going to do in my first play throughs, while the latter half is a list of my actual ships (though i like all the ships in both lists because notps don’t exist in my vocabulary!)

this got long so it’s under the cut! if the read more works now; come on, tumblr, you can do it edit: nooo it didn’t work. sorry again for flooding everyone’s dash with a long post;; edit2: now it does! awesome

black eagles:

edelgard/linhardt - i really adore the idea of them together so i would not be opposed to an accelerated rate to their supports! i saw fanart of them by reddit user chiralmia one day and i thought they looked cute. eddie being all gung ho about the crests and lin being a crest researcher is bound to have some interesting conversations

hubert/dorothea - this one request made me hardcore ship them because their dynamic is?? super?? fascinating?? i can’t wait to see how they’d interact in-game!

caspar/petra - another;; request;; just imagining caspar being so proud of petra as she improves her adrestian and gets acclimated to the monastery makes my heart warm. he’d be so supportive of her! anyone who makes fun of her speech? insert gta wasted sound effect here

ferdinand/bernadetta - moeblob’s comics opened my eyes to the idea of ferdiebernie and they’ve never closed since. they kinda give me ‘my fair lady’ vibes? this would be a great platonic pairing and i am not opposed to seeing ferdinand become protective of her

(other ones i’m looking forward to):

ferdinand/dorothea - since he’s all uppity about nobility and dorothea’s a commoner, i wonder how it’ll work!

hubert/petra - so serious! such cool! much admire! they both like edelgard a lot too so i can see them gushing about her together and aaaahhh 

caspar/bernadetta - even more requests?! and a fanfic?!?! i’m weak????? caspar being bright and happy to bernie’s glum, and coaxing her to socialize more is top tier

blue lions:

sylvain/ingrid - i mentioned before that i thought they’d be like kaze/azura (which was my fates otp!) before i found out sylvain was a flirt, but now that just makes the ship a fusion of kaze/azura and sain/fiora?? which i both adore?? so i dunno about you guys but this stole me from the get go

felix/annette - (KROISSANT IF YOU’RE OUT THERE—) if it isn’t obvious yet i like my serious, depressed grumpy cats together with bright sunshine children and this is exactly that

dedue/mercedes - actual parents;; they’d be so soft it’ll be insane

(other ones i’m looking forward to):

ashe/annette - shenanigans all the way! they’ll have loads and loads of fun when they’re with each other

dimitri/ingrid - obligatory ‘we have to get the pegasus knight and the lord she has an unrequited crush on together’; not that ingrid does have an unrequited crush on dimitri (we don’t know if she does), but they fit the trope

felix/mercedes + felix/ingrid - we ARE shipping felix with everyone and we ARE going to like it

golden deer:

claude/marianne - asdfghjkl; an actual disney prince with an actual disney princess? why would i not??

lorenz/hilda - they hate each other. i can feel it in my bones. i need to know how it’d work. please, IS

ignatz/lysithea - cute babies! you can see them together a couple of times so they must be friends! i honestly had a daydream about them eloping together which????? made me hate my brain more than i already do, but i guess i’m going to have to roll with it

raphael/leonie - i actually don’t want to pair them up with anyone because i think they don’t care about romance (asexual/aromantic representation when;;), but they seem like good pals so i’ll be okay with that!

(other ones i’m looking forward to):

claude/hilda - partners-in-crime. i don’t know why but i keep thinking they’re childhood friends. they’re probably not, but their dynamic is bound to be funny

lorenz/lysithea + lorenz/marianne + lorenz/leonie - i’m super curious to know why girls don’t like him. is it because he has terrible pick up lines?? does his personality suck?? will they mention his haircut????

ships i really ship (they’re mostly interhouse because i’m an idiot):

they haven’t really changed much from before so if you’ve read this post, you can skip this!

dimitri/edelgard - out of all the lord pairings i could have chosen i chose this one, and it constantly reminds me how much i hate myself (note: before anyone asks, i’m aware of what thani said! whether or not it’s true, it just makes their dynamic that much more interesting to me?? i dunno, guys; sorry if anyone’s disappointed in my terrible taste :c)

ashe/bernadetta - the first time i thought of these two together, i gasped out loud and never looked back since. i still think these two would get along quite nicely! i’m tempted to steal one when i’m in the other half’s house (+ steal both during my golden deer run) so they can be archer partners

petra/dorothea - still the same reasoning as before. one’s a commoner and the other’s a foreigner so they feel out of place within the black eagles as i await for the inevitable ‘but i belong with you’ trope

mercedes/lysithea - i got lysithea’s personality wrong but i still think this is cute! mercie being all sweet and caring whenever lys forgets to take care of herself, and lys making sure mercie is appreciated as she should be is uwu

felix/sylvain - “not fraldarddyd?? letters, i trusted you!” i’m shrieking i’m so sorry if it’s any consolation i don’t trust myself either i just think felix getting all flustered by sylvain’s flirting is?? ???? ?????? and asdfghjkl; i’m trying to spit out words but i don’t even know how to describe it please don’t hurt me

claude/annette - ;w; i have very many feelings about this that would take too long to explain, so if anyone’s curious just shoot another ask and you’ll get an essay in return!

i’m also partial to felix/edelgard but you didn’t hear that from me

from the ships i mentioned in the earlier lists:

hubert/dorothea

sylvain/ingrid

felix/annette

claude/marianne

claude/hilda

broships i really broship:

edelgard/bernadetta - pry this from my cold, dead hands

dimitri/felix/sylvain/ingrid - it’s canon! what else could i ask for?

linhardt/caspar - also canon!

annette/mercedes (+ ingrid) - also canon!! (+ ingrid needs friends to balance out her dumb dumb childhood squad)

linhardt/ignatz - they’re officially nerds! different topics, sure, but they seem like they’d get along well

dorothea/ingrid - girls supporting girls. that is all

bernadetta/marianne - they’re so similar! i’m sure they would bond/connect really quickly, and they’d have each other in their support circles!!

caspar/lysithea/marianne - this would be so chaotic haha. caspar shoots off, does something crazy, drags mari with him, and makes lysithea’s high blood pressure go off the charts

hubert/ingrid/mercedes - honestly? they can have all the tea they want if it means just taking a break and relaxing from their rowdy housemates

i also really want to see ferdinand/leonie interacting with each other just because leonie is the the least noble of all the characters and i wonder what ferdie would think of her

edit: oh yes!! and lorenz/mercedes; mercie mentions that she knows him so i’m curious about what they could talk about!

For the 'Give me a character' can you answer about Draco Malfoy and Felix Jackson?

You literally have asked me about two characters that I absolutely love!

Draco Malfoy

How I feel about this character - 

I really do love this character. I know he is a little shit in canon but he had so much potential. 

All the people I ship romantically with this character- 

I don’t hardcore ship him with anyone but I have been known to enjoy a well-written Darry fic. 

My non-romantic OTP for this character- 

While I don’t like the pairing romantically, I do like the idea of Draco and Hermione becoming friends. I think they could be a force to be reckoned with.

My unpopular opinion about this character- 

I don’t know if I have any really unpopular opinions about him. I know I always view his character as more of a victim than a villain which may not be something everyone agrees with. 

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon. - 

An actual redemption arch and not just the random little moments at the end of the HP series. The little we were shown in canon of Draco, he seemed intelligent (even if he was an ignorant little brat), and I think it could have been very interesting if he had become disillusioned with death eater/purebloods are better philosophy and became an active ally for the golden trio in the later books. It would have been an interesting dynamic to explore.

Felix Jackson- These are so different to answer for my own character, but I will do my best.

How I feel about this character

Honestly, he makes me love being a writer! He completely snuck up on me. Felix was supposed to be a nothing OC that served a singular purpose (annoying Will) and then leave, but he has grown so organically. He still surprises me.

All the people I ship romantically with this character.

Dean- just Dean. I’m the number one Delix shipper. I really have no other choice because Felix lives in my brain so if I ever even try to imagine him with someone else, he shuts me down hard.

My non-romantic OTP for this character

I’m excited to write Felix making more friends in general. He is a really loyal friend at heart. I have a few fics half outlined exploring the friendship between Felix and Kyle that I like. He definitely inherits Kyle from Dean but they develop a friendship that is solidly their own.

I also really like the idea of Felix and Nico as friends. I can just imagine the two of them getting along well at Solace family gatherings.

My unpopular opinion about this character

I don’t know if I can answer this one because my opinion is canon. I would love to hear other people’s unpopular opinions about my boy.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

This is another thing that is hard for me because I write the canon. I can tell you a few things that I considered doing with Felix.

Not long after I realized that Felix had a crush on Dean, I considered making him gay. As someone who is bisexual themselves, good representations of bisexuals is important to me but the idea of a relationship between a bisexual character and a gay character is also interesting (and I think important). Ultimately, Felix told me no- he is bisexual and not gay. 

I also considered making him a demigod or a legacy. This idea didn’t get much thought before I discarded it. The little Felix voice in my head didn’t have much to say on it but it felt like a lot to do to poor Dean.

Again, I would love to hear other people’s answers to that one!
