As a teen I never understood the anime trope of young adult woman who thinks she's past her prime and is a failgirl™️
And they try to sell it as she is "unmarriagable" and has a drinking problem
And I always thought wait shes awesome, I'd marry her.. And well, now 15 years and one cracked egg later and now I'm the 29 year old, running late to events, dishevelled-but-still-pretty, clumsy failgirl who drinks hard spirits.. And I've been swept off my feet by a beautiful and talented girl ^_^
Almost finished but unfinished Manuela WIP because I want to move onto something else

I don’t think I’ve ever drawn Manuela on her own outside of like the occasional comic/shitpost (that I never posted) so this is a new experience for me! Decided she needed a little bit of love after so long of drawing the same dudes over and over
I wish she was a recruitable unit in routes outside Scarlet Blaze in Three Hopes :C
The Crackship Returns! I really need to decide a name for it. “Cornuela”? “Manuelia”? The mind ponders.
The artist for this wholesome art is Raitei. Unfortunately I don’t think they have a Tumblr account for me to tag so here’s a link to their YCH Page if you wanna see their other work:
IT IS ONCE AGAIN THE BEST BIRTHDAY OF THE YEAR
My Wine Aunt™ Wife, Manuela Casagranda
Happy Birthday, Manuela Fire Emblem
(can I just say how I personally feel that I *ROCKED* this piece? I've been watching so many art streams & absorbing so much)
Y'know, looking back now, I think I've finally realized something; you know how people are always saying that to improve on art, you gotta find that ONE character and just draw them over and over? I think I've only now realized that Manuela is THAT character for me. Like, she's the litmus test for what I understand when I make art. Huh.
