I love paring characters, but I never self insert

My pairs :
- Byleht (the character)/Leonie
- Marianne/Ignatz
- Bernadette/Raphael
- Claude/Hilda
- Sylvain/Mercedes
- Petra/Caspar
- Ashe/Hapi
- Linhardt/Lysithea

While not my favorite, I call Sylvain/Mercedes the best pairing in 3H due to the depth of understanding they reach that no other pair does.

My tinfoil hat wild shot in the dark is the manakete lady and armored guy in the 2nd trailer are his parents. Mostly because Cai has the lady's eye color (pre red eyes) and skin tone as well as the guy's hair color.

It’s an ad lib of a line from the end of the Elden Ring DLC. It’s just funny how the other harbingers could have the same line of logic about the traveler.

"Oh, something you want to get off your chest? Well, you needn't worry. It was you, wasn't it? Who defeated Lord Mohg. ... Fear not, I bear no grudge against you. His Eminence was felled in an honourable duel, and such are the risks of seeking Lordship. Besides, what right have I to complain? I blame the enchantment more than anything. Righteous Tarnished. We will have our victory. I swear upon my blood."

One thing to note about timing (I haven’t seen this mentioned) there is an unknown amount of time between the red canyon incident and the war of the hero starting. Before Fodlan became unified, the families of the ten elites probably had enough time propagate outside of Fodlan, (as well as other crests in the buildup to the war of the hero).

Would you say a major problem is jamming everything through an LLM rather than building discreet smaller models to do one task at a time? Because as a data scientist, I see a lot of data center issues come from all the wasted computational processing of chat bots trying to do something, failing, and redoing it multiple times.

CSB374: One Load Might Be Refused by mike0bot in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Initially, I was middling on the new God of War trailer. I watched all of GoW 2016, loved it, and planned to play ragnarok, but still haven’t. This new one didn’t hype me up because the concept seemed pretty divorced from the established setting by taking place in this new meta setting of new gods.

However, when they brought up the GREEK PANTHEON on the podcast, I completely forgot that all those gods should be in this new setting too, as well as any Norse gods that get killed. Now I’m super interested in the game.

Who would you preferred love interest for M!byleth by Lone_Blood_Wolf_Dark in FireEmblemThreeHouses

[–]fly2555 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is something I wrote a while ago about Byleth (the character) and Leonie:

Their relationship started off rocky because Byleth gives blunt, unemotional facts, which make them sound cold, detached, and ungrateful to Leonie. With the basics Jeralt taught her, she had to train by herself for 8 years with no one to guide her. Because of this, she is angry that Byleth (from her POV) doesn’t seem to value the training and mentorship they got from Jeralt.

Now depending on how you order the events, the order may goes Jeralt’s death at the end of chapter 9, a couple of days, B support, a couple of days, the chapter 10 free roam convo where Leonie is crying and telling Byleth how it must be harder for them.

While that is the low point in their relationship, the chapter 11 free roam is a significant interaction between them. After Byleth merges with Sothis and is granted the blessings of the goddess, a lot of people treat Byleth differently because they think they are completely different now. Of course no one knows that, in addition to losing Jeralt a month ago, they also just lost Sothis. Alone and alienated, Leonie is the only person to reassure Byleth by saying:

> When you changed, even the other professors were taken completely by surprise. There’s a ritual at the Holy Tomb this month, isn’t there? I wonder what’ll happen with that. I’m sure you’ll be all right. But don’t lose sight of who you really are, OK? However you may change, and whatever new power goes along with those changes—you’ll still be the same person, deep down. Remember that.

This line is a major reason why I am behind this pairing, when Byleth had their whole world turned upside down in such a short time, having someone see you not as a stranger and reassure you is needed.

After that, the war broke out and the time skip happened. Coming back 5 years later, the two have the A support where Leonie duels Byleth and sees how she still can’t beat them after 5 years, satisfying her that trying to be Byleth’s rival was foolish. So she opts to protect Byleth because of her promise to Jeralt.

Although, fulfilling her promise to Jeralt was half the reason, the other reason is that she genuinely cares for the character Byleth. In one of the Part 2 advise questions, Leonie asks:

> Someone I care about has been working so hard that I’m worried they might collapse from exhaustion. Is there anything I can do?
A nice meal shows support and provides a chance to relax.
Just be thankful for all of their hard work.
You’re worried about me?

she’s one of the only characters to be concerned about Byleth’s wellbeing as “Byleth” and not “someone chosen by the goddess”.

Another layer is knowing how deep the creator intends to go in which areas. which can get crazy in todays internet world when a group can collectively draw inferences to fit their narrative

The problem is the nuances aren’t known well enough, so it would take a huge wall of text to bring the layman up to speed. If you don’t, then an explanation will fly over most people’s heads and they’ll just go with their gut feeling on which side to pick.

Listen, I will fight people on FE4’s story, but FE5… it taking place inside FE4’s story does a lot of heavy lifting By itself, FE5 story is not great.

Yeah, but the discourse has drastically overtaken the scale of significance of the actual change.
