Man I have spent a lot of my free time the last few days going through old posts on this blog and some of my prior ones and I did not expect to get this emotional
Fiora has never been perfect when it comes to how she treats family. She often placed herself in a position of control and protection first, with comfort and emotional bonding second - although not to any level that could be described as stifling. Unfortunately, these tendencies ended up informing her relationship with her son as time went on.
Fiora's straight laced nature could make her something of a difficult mother to have, even if she has mellowed out considerably compared to where she was in canon. She often ended up finding - or deliberately, on some occasions - positioned as the 'bad guy' of the two between herself and Eliwood, something which she would come to regret as time went on. She does still set aside time to bond with her son, most often by taking him out flying with her when they both have the time, but a general lack of shared interests between them also causes further strain.
Unlike what canon says, if Fiora is Roy's mother she's still alive by the start of FE6 - although her relationship with her son has been left strained recently. She's immensely proud of him and the two love each other deeply, but Fiora's controlling and withdrawn nature kept clashing with Roy's burgeoning need to express himself as he grew older. Another part of this is Fiora's own difficult relationship with Hector, tending to view him as something of an undisciplined brute even years later - and always being slightly wary of Lilina as an influence on her son as a result.
The various strains on their relationship eventually result in the two having what would always be called The Argument in years past. The Argument ended with Roy 'winning', leaving to study tactics under Cecilia with Lilina for a substantial amount of time while Fiora found herself fretting over the idea that she'd repeated her old mistakes with Farina once again.
When Roy returns Pherae at the start of the game, Fiora was wounded in the fighting - although not mortally. Eventually she forces herself to face her own fears and concerns, deciding to remain with the ill Eliwood rather than accompanying Roy to meet up with the rest of the League. While she trusts Roy and openly tells him so when they try to make up before he leaves again, she still can't quite resist the urge and does sneak behind his back somewhat to make sure that Marcus, Lance, Alen and Wolt are prepared to look after him should it come to that,
As I’ve told some of you already over the course of the week, I’m going to stop running my roleplay threads on the dash - including doing ask memes, etc etc. Most of this stems from a lack of time or energy to maintain an actual blog, combined with a drop in interest when it comes to the more unique parts of tumblr roleplay like ask memes.
Also, this website breeds technical difficulties faster than a burrow of particularly enthusiastic and well-fed rabbits, and after nearly five years of it just somehow getting worse each update I need to either leave or I’m taking a goddamn flamethrower to their server rooms.
I’m not stopping writing, though, or technically really even going away. I’m going to be using my blog to post my thread archives (like this one) and long-form metas, as well as reblogging pieces of fanart and stuff sometimes if someone points it out to me.
Until I can find another alternative, I’ll be doing the actual writing part on discord! I’ve set up a handful of servers, mostly split by AU or continent/game series, and I’m completely open to writing with anyone in those. If you’d rather have an individual server with me for whatever reason instead, that’s cool too, I’m not particularly fussy and everyone likes doing stuff their own way. My discord is listed on my blog page, and I’ll try and update it whenever I change it (as long as I remember).
I just feel like writing on discord is going to be more relaxing for me in the long run, and I think it’ll be way easier to talk with people and figure things out on the fly when it’s not on the dash. Once threads are done, as long as the partner is cool with it, I’ll make a thread archive and boot it up here so we can re-read it nice and easily in the future if we want to.
tl;dr i’m gonna be posting archives and headcanon posts on here but otherwise i’m out, later nerds
When Meng and Bleg returned to their order, Maybell was the only one of Ishtar's bodyguards during the final conflict who resigned from active duty to try and keep her company. Ishtar wasn't the most companiable person during this period of time, although the now-former pegasus knight still tried her best to get her to open up some. Failing to find any other potential ground to get the woman to open her up again, Maybell applied for another young pegasus to be sent to the capital to try and give Ishtar a new interest.
When the foal finally arrived, Ishtar had started her improvement in earnest, with her relationship with Seliph in an early stage. She quickly took to the beast, a grey mare with slightly stunted wings. While Maybell was apologetic that only a pegasus who wasn't fit for active duty was sent, Ishtar didn't particularly mind - never intending to fight while riding it in the first place.
Using some of her free time, Ishtar started to learn how to care and ride the pegasus alongside Maybell, assisted by Meng and Bleg during their occasional visits. Naming her Gestina, the pegasus became something of a source of escape for Ishtar - a way to flee the capital for a few hours, should she feel she was growing closed in again.
Keeping true to her word, Gestina was never used on the battlefield or even trained for it. Ishtar was more than confident enough in her own abilities without them, and Gestina was far from combat ready. Stunted wings and a weaker disposition meant that even flying for protracted periods of time could grow uncomfortable for the pegasus, and she was ultimately used strictly as a leisure ride slash pet. The fact that the pegasus got a carriage to ride along in during long marches to various parts of the empire caused some to grumble, but Ishtar's withering glare was normally enough to make them back down.
Perhaps because of the more docile nature that her lifestyle brought, Gestina lacked any kind of aggressive or dismissive attitude towards male humans that could frequently be found with pegasi. She even took an active liking to Seliph, while most were treated more with a distant sort of acceptance - and like most pegasi she was incredibly wary around Ced.
Gestina would outlive Ishtar by roughly ten years, acting as a companion to her surviving grandchildren before ultimately passing herself in her sleep. For a beast projected to only live ten years at the most, it was considered a small miracle that she experienced the full pegasi lifespan.
In Ishtar’s final appearance, she’s accompanied by three Silessian pegasus knight sisters as her bodyguards, who can use the Triangle Attack and are implied to have known her for a long time - or at least since the outbreak of the newest war. Given the deaths of Reinhardt and the Friege Mage Trio (Eriu, Banba & Fotla) along with the defection of Tine and Amalda (another Friege general in FE5, in a similar role to Reinhardt) to the opposing force, they are likely the only friends she has left, military connection or not. They normally die either immediately before or immediately after the player confronts Ishtar herself, normally through Holsety-related hax.
They each have basically no dialogue except their death quotes, all of which involve them asking Ishtar for…something.
Okay But Why Do You Care: Because Ishtar deserves to have friends okay. She’s been through so much. Let her have this.
In all seriousness, as her bodyguards for her final confrontation, the odds are that if she surrenders they would as well - particularly since they seem so attached to Ishtar over anything else. This would mean that Ishtar wouldn’t be completely isolated from her former life, and would at least have some others to talk to during her self-imposed imprisonment, at least before they are returned to Silesse for their own sentencing.
Characterization: This is based off of one line of dialogue and a single stat change each. They literally all have the same statline, skills and gear (Earth Sword+Leg Ring) otherwise.
Meng
Likely the oldest, or at least the one in charge, thanks to her four Leadership Stars. Likely the closest of the three to Ishtar at the start, given her last words and her status as a commander. Likely to stay in Silesse and re-join the military after sentencing.
Maybelle
Her last words are of her sisters, which leads me to believe she’s more compassionate and cares more for other people than herself. The most likely to return to the capital and try to bond with Ishtar instead of remaining in Silesse following their eventual release and re-induction to the Pegasus Knights.
Bleg
Was likely bullied for her name as a child, jeez, what parent would do that to them.
The most proud, and with the most to prove. Feels as though she’s let Ishtar and her sisters down upon her death, and focuses on growing stronger provided she survives the events of the game.
Summary: With things looking dour, Cynthia has an outburst while training with the eldest surviving pegasus knight, Phila.
Content Warning: It’s Awakening’s Bad Future my dudes
“Your enthusiasm is…admirable, milady, but I must ask that you master the basics before adding your own flourishes.” Lips press firmly into a line–the tides of war loomed ever-closer, and Phila had no intention of allowing the young princess to be defenseless ( not that Princess Cynthia would stand for a such a thing, anyhow ). “Again, from the beginning.”
“But…”
Cynthia’s protests died on her lips, the princess letting out a sigh as her shoulders slumped. Well, the woman was right, she supposed. It just wasn’t…she couldn’t really put it into words. It didn’t feel right.
“Alright. I’ll go again from the start.” She said, grudgingly as she raised her lance to the ‘ready’ position. When she was even younger she’d expected training to be more glamorous than this. Her shoulders were getting tired from the countless repeated motions that had been drilled into her muscle memory, attempts to get her to fight on an instinctive level.
She didn’t have the best attention span in the world. It was making it hard.
Phila’s grateful she doesn’t have to argue with the younger princess about the necessity of proper technique any longer, though she can see the frustration building upon her features. A critical eye inspects the girl as she moves through the forms, searching for flaws which might cause trouble down the line.
“Much better,” she says with a nod as the princess comes to the end of her drills. “I believe a break is in order.” Her gaze softens as she moves away from the role of drill instructor for the moment. “While I would still implore you not to waste your energy with the sorts of flourishes you seem so fond of, I believe that you are almost ready for the next set of techniques. They may not be flashy, but I daresay they are more interesting than the ones you’ve been practicing the last couple of weeks.”
“It can’t just be practical, though. How are you meant to inspire anybody if you just look like some kinda – I dunno. Training doll or something.”
She shook her head with a grumble, almost stomping over to the rack they kept the training spears on and slamming it down with ill temper. She pinched her nose, trying to calm herself for a moment – Phila didn’t deserve her acting like a spoiled child. She should at least try to act like a princess, or at least an able student.
Like her mother was under Phila’s command. No, wait, don’t think about it. Think about something else instead…like how much her shoulders hurt. Which was a lot, come to think of it. Agh, sleep was going to be hard…
“I hope so.” She chuckled weakly, although she was a little dismayed to hear she was only ‘almost’ ready for them. “…I wonder, though…most of what we’re fighting these days aren’t people.”
Her words took on a disturbed tone as she shuddered. “I heard that the Risen don’t really fight properly. Maybe we should start trying to figure out a different way to fight them.”
“You won’t inspire anyone if you’re incapable of properly hitting the enemy and get hurt as a result.” The word killed goes unspoken, too harsh when they’ve lost so many already, Cynthia’s parents among them. Still, at the girl’s quiet grumble, her expression softens, ever so slightly. “Once you have mastered the basics, you may think of showmanship…to an extent.”
“It is true, Risen do not fight like soldiers,” Phila concedes. “Nor do they fight like brigands. They seem to be capable of simple tactics when guided by their creator, if only prioritizing a target, yet most seem to attack targets indiscriminately–simply what is nearest and alive.” It is rather disturbing, she has to agree. Their lumbering forms, the stench of death and decay, the way they moan and grumble as they move, often contorting in ways a once-human body should not be able to, all of it paints a frightening image.
“Regardless, they make for formidable foes. They are not slowed by pain or blood loss, nor can they be rendered unconscious. What they lack in skill they make up for in sheer number and in tenacity. To fight the Risen is to fight a war of attrition with each one. And that, Lady Cynthia, is why technique is important.”
“…well, that’s depressing.” Cynthia jested feebly. She winced a little at the reminder of the odds they were facing, the odds that had taken so many people from them - and the ruin it was leaving of her dreams and aspirations. Hearing it put in such a way was…she almost couldn’t bear it. Her voice was weak and surprisingly small.
“You make it sound so pointless. Like there’s no more heroes and no more hope and we’re just - trying to make swinging swords out of as many people as possible so that maybe we get to live a few more months.” She said miserably, feeling the ground shift beneath her feet in her mind - the same way she’d felt when her mother’s pegasus had come back by itself.
“Still. I guess I should try. Doesn’t seem right to just…roll over and die.” She said after a few moments, a weak smile returning to her face again. This wasn’t like her - all this moaning and contemplating. If Phila said that it would be better to get the basics down, well…she couldn’t be the oldest surviving pegasus knight for nothing, she supposed.
“Alright, well. What was the stance again?”
“…my apologies, Your Highness, I did not mean to sound so…dour.” But that’s how thing are, aren’t they? Though they have Falchion, they lack the Fire Emblem, and with it the means to contain the Fell Dragon. They are simply trying to live a few more months, in the hopes that they’ll be able to recover the emblem, to have Princess Lucina perform the Awakening, to save the world. “Perhaps it is better to think of it this way–we are attempting to buy time, yes, but not merely for its own sake. If we are to prevail, we must at least be capable of that much. Fighting for a chance that we will find a way to defeat the Fell Dragon…is it not better to do that than to simply, as you put it, roll over and die?”
“So please, milady, do not lose heart. Now, watch closely.” She offers the other a small smile. “Even the greatest hero must start with the basics.”
“Right. Going out fighting, and all that.” Cynthia still wasn’t completely on board with the ideas, and barely managed to return Phila’s smile. It really did feel crushing, sometimes. But if her sister could force herself through it all and keep her head high…Cynthia had no desire to be found wanting.
“Basics. Right.” She chuckled. She was repeating herself at this point, stumbling back on the same words and thoughts in what was slowly turning into an almost crushing cycle of pride and doubt. It was all she could do to keep herself focused on the task at hand instead of letting her own spiraling thoughts bring her down.
It’s okay. There’s still heroes around. She forced herself to think, her smile growing a little brighter. “Yeah…I guess you started with them too, huh? So it’s gotta be a good thing to keep them down. C’mon, let’s go through it again.”
As I’ve told some of you already over the course of the week, I’m going to stop running my roleplay threads on the dash - including doing ask memes, etc etc. Most of this stems from a lack of time or energy to maintain an actual blog, combined with a drop in interest when it comes to the more unique parts of tumblr roleplay like ask memes.
