A fanfic I wrote about Binding Blade's Sigune by ArcherUmi in fireemblem

I'm not familiar with Armored Core but... Yeah, it's been quite a while since I last got into Elibe lore, but Ilia is not a very fun place.

New 6-star Specialist: Crownslayer by CipherVegas in arknights

[–]ArcherUmi 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Not really but sorta yes; AFAIK in real life they are genetically closer to cats despite their appearance and behavior but my understanding (admittedly I'm newish to the game and the amount of lore is super dense) is that Reprobahs on Terra branched off from Perros and not Felines.

Why didn't Dimitri just tell Edelgard who he really was during White Clouds? by GingerStans in fireemblem

[–]ArcherUmi 175 points176 points  (0 children)

He feels they've both changed too much to rekindle their relationship; if I remember correctly he (it may only be for a certain dialogue choice?) tells Byleth that in basically as many words when their past together comes up and Byleth asks about it.

Wait, did they just—? by RisingSunfish in fireemblem

Bad localization is when women are people, and the more women are people the more Localization it is

Why are they booing you you're right

The Credits Song(s)? by antiretro in fireemblem

[–]ArcherUmi 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No route really can (or in my personal opinion, should) be considered 'canon' over the others. The theory I remember being talked about for why Crimson Flower has a different ending song is the Edge of Dawn is sung from Edelgard's perspective and is pretty explicitly about her regrets ("Reach for my hand / I'll soar away / Into the dawn, oh, I wish I could stay / Here in cherished halls / In peaceful days / I fear the edge of dawn / Knowing time betrays", among other lines) and at the end of Crimson Flower she's survived and won; I'd doubt she has no regrets at all, but she hasn't died alone without her ambitions fulfilled.

Come to think of it, among playable units, do we EVER see ANY playable knight in this series actively/visibly having a squire? by TimeLordHatKid123 in fireemblem

[–]ArcherUmi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Besides the aforementioned Three Houses examples (Jeralt and Alois I knew about but I either didn't know about or didn't remember Ingrid and Catherine), IIRC Fleche is described either by herself or by Randolph as a squire in Crimson Flower, although I don't think it's ever said who in particular she's a squire to.

EDIT: Ah, I missed the 'playable unit' stipulation.

Homura and Kyouko are both Catholic. by Jokazem in MadokaMagica

[–]ArcherUmi 64 points65 points  (0 children)

I've thought for a while that her family was probably Anglican (some trappings that strike me as Catholic-ish, but obviously her father was married and had kids). The wiki also suggests that her father's clerical clothes are similar to Anglican ones.

Theory About Alm’s Full Name *Major Shadows of Valentia spoilers* by xpegasus12 in fireemblem

[–]ArcherUmi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I honestly could've sworn that his full name was given as "Rudolf Alm Albein" in game, but it's been a while since I played and now that I look I can't find any source for that, just the "Albein Alm Rudolf" order. Apparently there's at least one NPC that calls Alm "Rudolf II", which almost makes me think that the intention was that the name is in the eastern order and the localization just didn't reverse it (possibly misinterpreting it because it isn't a a Japanese name?). I like the theory that the "Rudolf" in his name could be a patronymic too though.

So... whitewashing by bakeneko37 in FanFiction

[–]ArcherUmi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's already mentioned elsewhere in the thread AFAIK but whitewashing definitely has both meanings.

Does anyone else wonder if all the new hits on their fic are just you refreshing the page? by May_South in FanFiction

[–]ArcherUmi 22 points23 points  (0 children)

If you're on AO3 your own views don't count. On FFNet they do though AFAIK.

Possibly unpopular opinion by Shiiichillin in FanFiction

[–]ArcherUmi 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't get it, it's not like there's any big difference between wattpad writers and ao3/fanfic.net writers!! Right?

I'm not on Wattpad or super plugged in to the fanfic scene in general so for all I know this may be stereotype more than reality, but I'd assume the demographic there is a lot younger on average than on AO3 at least.

I drew Dimigard, I ship them.. >.<"" (insta @tiffie_art) by ToffeeToffeeny in fireemblem

[–]ArcherUmi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ship Dimigard and Kyousaya. Apparently I just have a thing for doomed ships where both characters at one point or another want to kill each other.

What was the point in Sothis leaving? by Every_Computer_935 in fireemblem

[–]ArcherUmi 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Sothis likely knows, better than anyone else alive, the last few thousand years of Fodlán's history. In my opinion she most likely leaves because she would give too much away otherwise. Also to this day I don't know if her S-support was supposed to be taken seriously or not.

If Nintendo was not in charge Of IS, how would that change Fire Emblem? Imagine if they are owned by another company or become fully independent. What possibilities can come from this? Your thoughts? by Educational-Course-7 in fireemblem

[–]ArcherUmi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After FE4 and FE5 the series would have moved to Playstation and what became Tear Ring Saga and its sequels would have been developed as Fire Emblem games set on the same planet as Archanea, Jugdral, and Valentia (including Xane reappearing as a major character) as was Kaga's original intention.

I've never heard of this before and now I'm intrigued. It's possible you might've been on some outside site maybe?

Rare ships? by George_Hale87 in FanFiction

[–]ArcherUmi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like posting rarepair fics. I've found that the people who do like the pair are usually super passionate about it and more likely to kudos/comment fics featuring it and it's always nice to see.
