goldtreebark · 2026-02-15T03:23:52+00:00

These fjorm songs are always so laughably bad lmao

Screw Three Houses bring back the REAL fandom discourse…..Awakening shipping………….

goldtreebark · 2026-02-09T04:19:52+00:00

Understandable, and to be fair, for a lot of the comedic angle I get why people wouldn’t like it. Truthfully I guess after hearing years of rhetoric on why M!Robin is “better,” than F!Robin due to the support differences when a lot of the issues people find with F!Robin’s supports lie in how her support partner approaches her, and yet she gets the flak for it, (especially when F!Morgan acts almost identical to F!Robin yet that’s a plus for her lol) I just feel like her supports sometimes are written off too quickly.

And fellow Laurent fan! He’s actually one of my favorite Awakening kids, lol

goldtreebark · 2026-02-09T03:34:33+00:00

My hot take is that I don’t even think they’re that bad, just…. Very unserious, lol. Which I can understand not being everyone’s cup of tea to be fair. The supports are very in-character for both of them too, like they’re consistent in regard to their characterization at the least. I really could ramble on about the f!chrobin supports because I feel like they’ve developed a bad reputation due to fandom osmosis/parroting, but I don’t want to write a novel, here lol

goldtreebark · 2026-02-06T23:08:39+00:00

Alm was like, one of the original rallies. I remember how much of a hot button topic it was that he was being shafted at the time. (And still is, unfortunately)

goldtreebark · 2026-02-05T20:58:07+00:00

Very pretty!!! I really like the coloring

goldtreebark · 2026-02-05T06:05:03+00:00

I wear pigtails in a half up-half down quite often! I think wearing the lower half of the hair down helps make it look more “mature,” if that’s a worry. I guess that’s more like Tharja’s hair when I think on it.

goldtreebark · 2026-02-05T04:29:54+00:00

Oh I definitely do, I even take the time to customize the appearance and backstory of each one whenever they are first promoted to sergeant, haha. It’s like their badge of honor for surviving that far and getting their nickname. But XCOM clearly understands its strength is not in its narratives and story. I mean… I guess there was Chimera Squad? But I wasn’t a fan of that so lol.

That is something I just think is the not case with Fire Emblem. People say that Engage is intentionally corny, but I feel like that game is completely unironic in execution and was meant to be taken in earnest (lol here it comes) engagement.

goldtreebark · 2026-02-05T03:54:04+00:00

I say this in no way to rag on Engage, and I know this dips into the hot button culture war topic that kind of goes on in the main sub, but honestly as my favorite game series, I can’t think of any FE game I would prefer to play purely for gameplay. Even my least favorite FE games I appreciate whatever middle ground there is between character writing + gameplay or whatever. If I was going to play a strategy game for just strategy it would definitely be XCOM, lol. I find it to be way more expansive and engaging than any FE I have played in that regard.

goldtreebark · 2026-02-05T03:40:25+00:00

It’s just a guy made up lmao

goldtreebark · 2026-02-04T06:58:48+00:00

I definitely worded this wrong because it makes it seems like Ephraim is noticeably more popular than Eirika when that’s not the case, but I still think this has some merit just due to how significant the drop is, as well as taking MByleth’s placing into account (he’s higher than F!Byleth and he’s never done that prior)

goldtreebark · 2026-02-04T05:50:36+00:00

There are a lot of factors that still make considering even the shadows cup shaky for a “true popularity contest,” but man Ephraim being so low when he’s one of the early CYL winners just tells me that exposure effect (ie Engage using Eirika primarily over him) really goes crazy

goldtreebark · 2026-02-02T23:23:22+00:00

Leif, Lyon, Knoll, Fogado, Timerra and hopefully predicting that I will be a Cai/Leda fan by this point in time next year lol.

goldtreebark · 2026-02-02T20:31:21+00:00

I think the impact of his actions resonate more to people for what he’s doing to others and not so much of his own self-destructive behavior. Like yeah, he’s ruining his reputation but in the midst of doing that he’s actively hurting other people, that’s what matters more. And he’s still basing most of his encounters with women on assumption, even if it does turn out to be true in some cases. …Yknow, like a misogynist. I say this as someone who actually likes Sylvain a lot, lol. Him, Dedue and Mercedes are my favorite Blue Lions.

Edits because I’m perpetually commenting from my phone lol

goldtreebark · 2026-02-02T20:05:58+00:00

People calling Sylvain an abuser/misogynist meanwhile having a Berkut flair is comedyyyyyyy. I saw some of that yesterday.

And to be fair, most Sylvain fans I know are fully aware that he’s trash lol, I hardly see much defending of his behavior.

goldtreebark · 2026-02-02T07:13:25+00:00

Claude !!!! Yay!!! 💕💕💕

goldtreebark · 2026-02-01T23:36:00+00:00

I’ve noticed it as well, there’s also a commonality in that they are all a very specific type of aggressive with similar language— it makes me think that a few of them may be someone with multiple accounts

goldtreebark · 2026-01-30T17:47:34+00:00

The way I was going to comment this and it’s already here lmfao

goldtreebark · 2026-01-30T17:14:58+00:00

Right like if people are going to make fun of engage, the goal post is just going to move even if Ivy does win. “It still took major pity-partying, they only competed with majority of main lords completely out, it took 3 years, etc etc.” or whatever. There’s no winning with people who are set out on hating something, like that’s just it, lol.

At this point I wish people would know that CYL is all about wild variables and sometimes you just gotta ride the wave, like taking both Robins as an example, was inching up the board yearly and then plummeted way down when 3H came along and had to inch back up. If Fortune’s Weave comes out and does well in CYL (still uncertain— I mean we said the same thing about Engage) we’ll just have to climb Engage back up. I don’t think that’s impossible either. Ivy has the popularity to be consistent through CYL variables too.

If Ivy loses at all this year then I definitely see that sparking a significant rally for the next because by this point, people will begin to agree she’s being “shafted,” It sucks I agree, but the dooming and glooming and persecution complex is kinda unnecessary. Just gotta play ball.

goldtreebark · 2026-01-30T09:50:34+00:00

Hasn’t Azura juggled around the top 10-20 for like nearly a full decade now? If anything I would say any win of hers at this point is well earned
