My Brother’s Keeper

Meanwhile, as the Master breaks Guy’s soul further...

Abena sighs. She looks onto the poppets on her desk, keeping her eyes on them as to track the missing Duchamp brother. "Still no sign of Guy... it's been over two weeks now. Where could he be? Why hasn't he come home y-"

Something happens before Abena’s eyes...

“...........th-that’s not my magic....w-what is this....

“.....Salt? What is this, I don’t use salt in my poppets...”

ever since i was a little boy i've always wanted to be shipped with a friend by strangers on the internet

#phan #ok tbh... i have thought abt putting myself maybe not into phans shoes #but like an average youtuber m/m ship #where we're well acquainted but ppl love our dynamic #and we end up getting closer and perhaps even... indulge a bit in the shipping #read the cringiest fic we could find #maybe even kiss once on screen #and who knows perhaps real sparks may fly....

[carlyraejepsans]

[pink-november]

was thinking bout this post ever since i first saw the tags cuz i didn't know the shifting mound can actually give you the resist option in the tower route if you did the adversary to fury route beforehand... needless to say i tried to do the thing and proceeded to try it with the other merging chapters just to see something new and ummm...

how curious that only hero seemingly hears the shifting mound's comment to you. not even the other voice present or the narrator acknowledges it.

#slay the princess #slay the princess spoilers #stp spoilers #it honestly gave me quite a scare to hear his shocked dialogue the first time... was not expecting that #i usually only encounter the shifting mound's interruption whenever we try to turn around and leave the cabin #or when accidentally getting the 'good ending' #when we're already committed to her completion and we cannot go back in our mission #and usually when she says that none of the others pipe up and take notice #so when hero's “wait what?!?” came in i went holy shit #what does this mean? what are the implications of this? am i making sense here? #this may also been some kind of foreshadowing of some kind when hero shows up during the shifting mound vs long quiet debate #how he's much closer to the shifting mound/long quiet than the others and therefore can catch glimpses of shifty when she interferes #tell me more obscure variations in this game please i love doing em sm

A lot of you guys in the replies had really good/funny things to say about the concept of a "subaru being technically under house arrest in the felt camp route" tags and I'd love to talk about it w you too but I feel kinda bad taking over ops post 😭

#someone did say that rein does the lap pillow emotional breakdown scene in this route though which is great 👍 but what i wanted to say was #well does the seemingly-inevitable-in-every-route reinbaru divorce still happen???? #they're already good friends in the main route but we're proposing one here where they're far closer if not just due to proximity #but like just going through more shit together instead of reinhard being MIA most of the time bc him being around makes the group too strong #so #but actually it would be kinda funny if it happens in a similar way to his falling out with emilia in arc 3 but this time #he ends up staying at the roswaal estate instead of with the crusch camp #it'll let him get closer with the others before they're all attacked by the witch cult #and then stuff can go down similarly but differently. I'm sure there's some way to rope in the ana and crusch camps though #''ferris julius i have some important business i need to tend to can you guys go check on my idiot for me? #yes the one you beat up last week please just go.'' #''he's not signing the papers'' LOL #re:zero

Hello! I hope that you are doing well!

I just wanted to send you a question regarding the amount of power Rhea has in Fódlan since something came to my mind. You know how during Edelgard's coronation, she said to her father that, "The Archbishop of the Church of Seiros would normally act as witness, but my professor will fill that role instead"?

Unless I missed something [or am overthinking], do you believe that Rhea was even there to witness Ionius' coronation?

We were told in the game that it had been ages since a member of House Hresvelg enrolled into the Officers Academy as well as that there had recently been a rift between the Adrestian Empire and the Church of Seiros.

Therefore, to me at least, that implied that said rift had been going on for a while. And I do not see why they would allow her there if such a thing was going on. Yet, Rhea does not retaliate against this as far as I know. Then there is the fact that Edelgard is allowed to be coronated without Byleth's presence. The Southern Church was dismantled, too, so…I think it is safe to say that there was not an official to witness her from there as well. lol

To put it simply, it feels very contradictory to me and adds a crack into the "Rhea controls Fódlan" perspective.

Hi!

I agree, that NPC going all "the empire and hthe church cut ties eons agao that's why supreme leader is the first imperial heir to attend since ages" suggests Rhea wasn't very welcomed in Enbarr.

FWIW the Nopes book about the Southern Church incident reveals the Emperor of that time already wanted to cut ties with the Central Church - and used this rebellion (which was more or less a Varley daughter wanting to have a role instead of letting her bother inherit everything?) as an excuse to finally give them the boot.

In a nutshell, I heavily doubt Rhea was around when Ionius was coronated, if her Church was already "not welcomed" by the time the Southern Church was disbanded.

The Archbishop acting as witness might be just some sort of old ceremonial thing, just like the "covenant of the red blood and the white sword", maybe all coronations try to renact the "oath" Wilhelm took/swore to Seiros when she presumably made him Emperor of Adrestia? And the Archbishop acts as a stand in for Seiros (even if we know better!) when the oath is sworn again by Willy's descendants?

As you pointed out, the Archbishop being present or not is merely decorum, since nowhere the game suggests that in the non-CF routes, Supreme Leader's coup coronation isn't regular or anything.

Rhea controlling Fodlan isn't backed up by canon, Adrestia has been doing its own thing for several centuries, the CoS only provides help (the game doesn't tell us what it is!) to Faerghus : Dimitri becomes King not because Rhea crowns or splashes oil on him, but because he is the Crown Prince and the last heir of the previous King. As for the Alliance, it does its own thing without her input!

#dovehearts-blog #replies #FE16 #Rhea/the CoS controls Fodlan is a take sponsorised by NoA and Treehouse #even in the european websites we didn't get that shit to describe Fodlan #on that regard we're closer to the jp description of the continent than to the US one for once #I'd say Rhea has a complicated relationship with Adrestian Emperors #she can't help but be disappointed because they're not Wilhelm and will never equal him #only he has the 'great' title lol #and they don't follow the CoS and its principles like remember when they tried to invade Brigid/Dagda? Or fed northeners to beasts for fun? #and yet they're the scions of Wilhelm so maybe she can call them her allies? If she needs help they will provide? (we know how it ends lol) #in the half lizard lycaon AU she has even more conflicted feelings bcs #those people aren't willy nor lycaon when it was him who was supposed to be there #everytime she witnesses a new coronation she remembers this coronation happens #because her kid was torn apart by the very people she's crowning #children aren't their parents she knows it and yet there's still that small heartache #bcs Ionius 1 to Ionius 9 aren't Lycaon #back to canon i guess the CoS's presence in Adrestia is mostly ceremonial #to replay the willy'n'seiros alliance #but nothing as important as if Rhea says tut-tut the Emperor cannot be crowned #rhea stuff

delicate - chapter 50

In which Zuko faces punishment for his actions, while Katara discovers that the Avatar knows more about her than she previously thought...

It’s fitting that this was posted on the Ides of March, because I’m pretty sure this cliffhanger is going to get me stabbed like Caesar 🔪🔪🔪

Also fair warning - Ozai continues to be the worst person alive to absolutely no one's surprise, and he's even more of a monster here than in Chapter 47.

We're getting closer to that happy ending I promised, as well as the part where our Idiots in Love *finally* get to act on their feelings. Plus as brutal as this chapter is at times, several questions are finally answered, even as more come to light…

#sorry in advance for any trauma caused by that cliffhanger #it's brutal just like parts of this chapter #but we're getting closer to the happy ending! yay! #assuming y'all don't kill me first 🙃 #in which the author was shamelessly inspired by pride & prejudice + bridgerton #zutara #zutara fanfiction #my fanfiction #my stuff

(sits down next to you on a swing set) there's this part in chapter 5 that gets me fucked up every time i read it

and it's not even an overly emotional scene with the Main Monkeys, it's between Wukong and Demon Bull King...and about them being brothers. and it's like. 3 lines. it's nothing substantial.

but it gets to me all the same.

i dunno, i often look at my writing and think "i gotta add some more emotion to this to drive it home and invoke something" but a lot of the times that's not up to me. someone once told me their favorite part in a 34K chapter was a single line of dialogue. and that put a lot of things into perspective for me

i have no fucking clue what lines people like or what speaks to them unless they tell me, and luckily, some of you have told me. and there have been widely different answers! sometimes it's descriptions. sometimes it's dialogue. sometimes it's two words. sometimes it's 4 paragraphs.

and i think that's amazing. that there's people reading this and every fic and you don't know what they're going to take out of it. like. you work hard on something and you make this big mountain of different flavors of ice cream, right? and every person grabs a different flavor and likes that flavor. like they pick the flavor that's their favorite.

but then they still look at the big ass ice cream mountain and think the entire thing is good, too.

and this moment with DBK and Wukong is my flavor i guess. well, the whole chapter is my flavor, but this part....it gets to me...and it's 3 lines. but it makes me pause every time and my heart reacts. i dunno that's powerful, i think.

#constellations fic #ah we're getting closer to the end #and i guess i'm just getting sadder as i make my way there
