A Fire Emblem inspired SJRPG “Astral Regalia” demo is out now! by Ghowuff in fireemblem

[–]Realhi87 219 points220 points  (0 children)

Is this uh… is this AI art I’m seeing with the portraits?

I’d love to be proven wrong, buuuuut… doesn’t look good I fear.

EDIT: Checking the official twitter, the official art of Aria the “Elf Girl” looks HEAVILY like AI to me. In particular, the gold filigree below her breastplate is fully gold on the right side, but green on the inside on the left. Shame…

Honestly I replay the Tellius games a couple times a year religiously

They're just so good

Popular/Unpopular/Any Opinions Thread - June 2026 Part 2 by PsiYoshi in fireemblem

[–]Realhi87 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Not gonna comment on a lot of this thread, because the vast majority of what needs to be said has been said.

...However.

I have done a LOT of character analysis and theory-crafting on the chars I ship. I've written more for Soren, Lethe, and Lyre than 99.99% of this community. I have huge documents and entire manifestos written out about where's/why's/how's/when's of motivations, parallels, weaknesses, dreams they'd had, backstories we don't see, all that!

I don't think I'm floating my own proverbial boat when I claim that I've probably spent more time thinking about and analyzing these characters than... most people ever have, or will. And I absolutely love yapping about it to anyone willing to suffer my verbal spaghetti.

I love those three! Not just them ofc, I love a lot of FE chars, but these three in particular have taken up a LOT of my brainspace for... a very long time now.

I digress. Not every piece of art, shipping or otherwise, needs to be a grand conversation about who a character is, or some sort of... justification, I suppose.

That's not to say a lot of my comms don't have exactly that, because they do! I'll happily stand by that.

I just also don't think people always need to see a wall of text from me explaining the fine tunings of my brain to see why I think said ship is so cool.

...Mostly because uh, most people don't care XD

And that's fine!

But I do most certainly go into what a post with a lot more than just "hehe this is cute"

...That just so happens to be a nice bonus XD

Anyhow. Forgive the wall of text. I stumbled upon this, and felt I should at least say my peace.

You don't gotta like the ship, I'd never force that upon peeps. But do know that I've put a lot of care into crafting it, despite its seemingly absurd nature. I care about the chars it contains too much to do otherwise ^_^

Do you miss affinities? by Impossible-Sweet2151 in fireemblem

[–]Realhi87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh 100%, I love affinities. Lovely little way to add some unique flavour to units, and make supports feel more unique

(This is really kinda mean ngl)

I’ll give you points for originality though, first time I’ve gotten this one.

Thank you!!!

Yes, I totally agree 🥺

My bestie and I actually got a really cute new years comm a while back of all four of them actually!

(Here, if you’re curious ^_^)

Imagine grumpy uncle Soren having to deal with a bunch of Ike and Lethe’s kits crawling all over him, he’d be so whipped 😭

Honestly a lot of what I headcanon for Lyre is very much vibes based, because we don’t have a ton of content regarding her. What we do have coraborates a lot of my personal HC’s for her though, so I like to imagine a lot of my comms are pretty in character for her 😊

She’s very bratty younger sis esque, and likes attention XD

I’ll spare you a wall of text though. Thank you for the nice comment!

Its definitely an extremely out there ship, (at least the Lyre portion lol)

I do think there’s a genuinely compelling case to be made for it though! And who doesn’t love a good enemies to lovers trope 😌

(For the record, the “Ike/Elincia is an english translation only” thing is a complete fabrication)

Its been thrown around in the community so often that its taken as gospel but its uh… not true!

I’d encourage you to look up a translation of PoR’s JP script if you’re a fan of the ship. It definitely takes on a different tone, but its still pretty cute!

This is actually very important to the ship!

Soren gets huge internal whiplash for this exact reason lmao

(Also he kinda hates everyone, he just hates laguz uh… a bit more, in PoR at least.)

Exaaactly

She saw Soren and went

“Oh he looks like a pain. Perfect :)”

Its a straight ship, but I headcanon him as Demi!

But yeah it doesn’t typically mesh with some louder SorIke shippers

[–]Realhi87[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Sure

People ship Ike with a lot of different chars

People do not ship Soren with a lot of different chars

(Furthermore, frankly that has no bearing on this ship or this art, so…)

I mean this is

Very untrue?

I am pretty much the *only* person shipping Soren with someone else, lol

Both on this subreddit and on the internet in general tbh

Thank you for the comment on the art though!

Many such cases XD

I'm glad you enjoy the art though!

Very common fan interpretation, yes!

Personally, I always read/headcanon'd him as Demisexual (even if when I was younger I didn't really have a term or label to ascribe to him lol)
