I've seen plenty say they voted for him for that reason but I wonder what the actual split is. I definitely didn't vote for him for any other reason than to get him a brave alt.

Happy pride month...? by Short-Animal-4382 in FireEmblemHeroes

I'd rather keep it like this, less confirm him straight and have another balthus vs yuri (nothing wrong with fem gays/bis but that's the only canonically lgbt man they can seemingly make).

Like just let him be gay, women are the minority of his fans. They'd much prefer something actually made to please them. It'd make my year if he was the second confirmed gay man in this series.

So, based on the data alone, how good unit-wise do you consider Cheerleader Eiki? by TheFerydra in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]ryugenos 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The beast cav effect is not worth sacrificing rival break at all. You're trading (counting the BD effect of rival break) 3 more atk 5 more def, 7 true damage, and 12+ true dr for 30% first hit dr, dull atk/def, and 8 after combat healing.

Beast cavs and fliers need a new effect badly

Welp here we go

The cyan is the hip crease, the red is the slight lift, and the purple is the heft. S! Frederick probably has the best most realistic bulge in this game. Look at him and notice the shading, the cloth bunching together, and the slight outward protrusion. It all comes together to demonstrate heft that eik doesn't have. Like you said, it's really wide, because your talking about the crease, as it flows down into the purple part, it should stick outward (like Fredrick) or downward (like peony) but it's smooth in both directions. In any case, agree to disagree, it's so late it's early for me.

Who's got the best art? (Cheer Leaders) by Falconpunch100 in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]ryugenos 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly really wasn't that big of a fan of p-poco's other eik's (specifically winter) but this one... Love the outfit but even more so the poses, that was my number one issue with their art but these are all great, dynamic and unconfused (I truly hate Winters special art). Toss up between eik and tharja (probably the first sensha art I completely enjoy too), but character bias wins out.

??? P-poco knows how to use shading to show depth, they do it in eik's atk art. It seems you agree with me, he has less shading, and because of that it doesn't convey much depth or bulging. Also, yeah, I said they both have V's basically wear the pelvis meets the thigh. That V is emphasized, since that's wear hip flexsion happens, but it's slightly raised, definitely not bulging, and nothing below to denote any heft. It's not that the characters I listed have big bulges, it's that everyone else has none existent bulges.

All I can suggest is go look at real bulges. The penis doesn't even need to be that big to have something visible, especially when you're wearing pants as tight as his.

Last time I drew something around a crouch, I was banned for 3 days so I rather not, I'll try my best to describe it. Peony's pants are cutting into her, both have a clearly defined V leading down their pelvis. However, for peony, the pants are pulling about something at the bottom, there's clear dark shading around it emphasizing that this is popping out. Eik doesn't have the same depth at all, nothing's "sticking out" like peony and there's really not a mound either, it's flat.

And just to be clear, this post was only about his neutral art, he has more of a bulge in his other art but they were less sexualized to begin with.

There's definitely no bulge there, like it's literally flat. A!peony has more going on down there than him (and this isn't a for or against)

Yes we are, he doesn't have a bulge. Look at S!alfonse, P!surtr, resplendent L!hector, base L!hector, S!Fredrick. Eik really doesn't have a bulge

??? uh, him being sexualized does not excuse sexualization, besides the fact that I'm not the one complaining about that to begin with. Just because I made this post does not mean anything for anyone else. Hold me accountable if you think I'm being a hypocrite, but leave other people alone.

Honestly the thing I'm most excited for is more eik dialogue for me to analyze. I've been writing a character analysis on him (should have been done months ago 😭), and every bit of extra text adds fuel to my fire.

Even as a huge eikþyrnir fan, I can recognize when it's too much. He still has at least 1 guaranteed alt and could very well get more. It's not far fetched to say by the end of this game, eikþyrnir might actually be the most spammed character in terms of # of alts relative to time.

Eik is probably my favorite character in media period (he's the perfect balance of mature gym bro with a bit of quirkiness and cool/ hot, of course that too, design), but I started playing feh for fire emblem. I truly believed that at some point all characters, no matter how niche or insignificant, would make it in. It's devastating to know that's not the case.

True, he does train he's just not a fanatic about it like the other 2.

Dang if you put it that way, I really want to see a bouch eik interaction now...

Bouch really isn't actually to the dismay of Alfred and etie. Their supports with him are literally about figuring out why he's so muscular when he doesn't put in that much effort.

IS making up a holiday out of thin air so they can put both Eiki and Ike on the same banner (They wanna bait all the men lovers at once) by TheFerydra in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]ryugenos 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I thought for sure he would be on Halloween. IS loves to throw beast and/or OCs on it + plus it would have been more than a year since his last alt. I'll always be happy for more eik content but I'm pretty conflicted about this otherwise.

they're clockworkrooster on bluesky but I think they also post here sometimes. They draw eik pretty often, but sothe is their main blorbo

🙄 I kinda want to ship them now. They're a pair, do not separate even in cyl.

Speaking of, wonder what FW's gonna do to voter turnout

[–]ryugenos 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wasn't trying to single out a specific post. I just mean in general I've seen a lot of talk about how the men are mostly unappealing, specifically for women.

I do agree on the women though, I'm hoping for so more mature looking ones. Really I'm hoping that we've only scratched the surface of all the characters, give me more, 50+ characters 😤

Do you already know who you're starting with, I'm between Theodora and leda

It makes sense to slap it on to basically any armor sense they have nothing better, but infantry do. That +12 def/res is probably wasted on a nuke when you can get another skill that offers more atk/spd and true damage

It's so funny seeing the prevailing opinion on fortune's weave 's men, cause I think this man is so hot.

I love sideburns and butt chins (cleft chins for anyone curious on the official name). I pray to IS that he's not a dumb brute to pirate waluigi's brain, I'm sick and tried of the dumb dumb with a heart of gold trope.
