(Prompt fill for 30+fanfic discord, beat the heat.)
āI thought when you returned from Garreg Mach the crest shenanigans would stop. But noooooo!ā
āCome on, the crest powered magic rolling ball is at least a party trick.ā
āIt's humiliating.ā
āYou need to chill.ā
āKhalid, it's afternoon in the middle of summer and Gunes has us all in his brick oven buttcrack. There will be no chilling.ā Uzair stomped away, fuming, and ignored the palace women at their table as he passed them. Including his pregnant wife.
āI was about to ask him for more chocolate syrup.ā Danah said, scooping the last bit of chocolate syrup onto a fried asparagus spear.
Khalid frowned. āSorry about that, I didn't set him off on purpose.ā
āThe 'crest powered magic rolling ball' was impressive, but I agree with him.ā Farah took a drink of her iced tea. āYou're a grown man and a father, you've gotta set an example for two kids with crests of their own.ā
Khalid had been six when his Riegan crest revealed itself. During roughhousing with Uzair of all things. They'd both been terrified. Giselle and Collin were eight and had used their crests for the first time at five. They'd known of them their whole lives.
āI understand,ā he said. āDanah, I can get you the chocolate syrup. If the baby will accept it from their uncle.ā
Danah looked at him and rolled her eyes. āIt all goes in the same by the time they get it.ā
After bringing Danah the chocolate syrup, Khalid returned to the esteemed guest room. It was actually his old bedroom from all those years ago, but Hilda didn't need to know that. It was now furnished for adult guests, with a brass bed big enough for a couple, a garderobe, a zeer pot full of food, and a beaded curtain leading to a walk in pantry. When he walked in, it was clear that his kids had found the mango sherbet he'd tried to hide in the zeer pot.
āHilda, I told you to keep that sherbet at the bottom of the pot and distract them from it.ā He muttered.
āIt was so good!ā Collin jumped up and spilled melted sherbet remnants out of the bowl onto the bed.
Giselle took the bowl from him and put both bowls and spoons on the dish tray. Both twins were wearing only shorts and a simple shirt in Giselle's case. It was too hot to force them to wear much.
Hilda was still in her pajamas. She'd brought summer pajamas, but they didn't do very good for a cold desert night. But now it was the right temperature. But she still couldn't go out on the town wearing those. āWe can let them have sherbet for breakfast once in their lives,ā she said.
āLook at them, they're bouncing off the walls! They need to run it off! Pool's open!ā
The kids' attention was caught at the sound of the word āpoolā. After everyone changed into pool clothes and grabbed towels, they were off.
Hilda was strutting around in the shallow end, her pink ruffled two piece swimsuit leaving little to the imagination. Khalid lounged at the corner of the pool and let out a low whistle when she passed him.
She acted offended. āClaude, stop.ā Her tone betrayed her words. She was liking the attention. But she had used the name she first knew him as. She sat beside him near the corner of the pool.
He looked at her. āSo I might have offended Uzair. He doesn't like the crest powered rolling ball party trick.ā
āAww.ā She frowned. āHow is it that one of your brothers was an asshole and your other is such a tender sweetheart?ā
He smiled. āThat's a great question. But my hunch is the moms. I never met Nasira, but Dad has nothing good to say about her. Won't even call her by her name. Just calls her 'the succubus'. So Shahid turned out nasty. Then Jasmine, well she's mellow and sweet. She's still stern when she needs to be. Uzair turned out mellow then. And me...ā He chuckled. āI guess since my mom takes crap from nobody and has charisma then that's how I turned out.ā
āYou all have some of your dad in you too.ā She said. āThat's basic science.ā
āI thought you didn't pay attention in that class.ā
She huffed. āI did! Just enough to pass!ā
āYou never did like the professor making you work.ā He said, a trill in his voice. āSo you didn't need to work. Or else you'd have retaken it.ā
āOh, stop it.ā She giggled and bat her eyelashes.
He stood up. The twins were in the middle of some game with their cousin Nasrin in the childrens' section of the pool. Uzair had come to chaperone. Khalid smiled. Thanks, bro. He knew he couldn't stay mad forever.
Perfect opportunity to sneak away and get frisky if Hilda was willing. It was time to show her how Almyran couples liked to beat the heat.

My Self Care Saturday attack! Judith mentors Claude's children and gives extra care to prepare his daughter for being a woman on the roundtable.
āJudith, I don't know how to do this.ā Collin tapped his pen on the side of the paper. Giselle rolled her eyes and huffed beside him.
Judith looked at the paper. āYou know how to do basic geometry. You know how to find the area of a rectangle. You can't pull the wool over my eyes, young man. Your father tried and failed.ā
Collin snapped his mouth shut.
āTo tell the truth, and this is between you and me,ā Judith lowered her voice. āYour father was barely passing. If the war hadn't started I'm not sure he would have graduated.ā
Giselle gasped and almost knocked her books off her desk. āNo, you're kidding.ā
āMost days he was too busy lollygagging. And getting into everybody's business but his own.ā
āThat's not what he told us.ā Giselle said.
āI spent enough time around him that I figured out what came from his mother, who I already knew, and what came from his father.ā Judith walked between the twins' desks and stood there. āGiselle, you got one of the triangles wrong. Remember the hypotenuse goes from the point to the middle of the longest side.ā
Giselle whined and scratched the mistake out.
Holst walked in followed by Hilda, who was holding a tray of cookies. āGood afternoon, Judith,ā he said. āYou're not being too strict on these kids are you?ā
āIt's spring break and she's making us do math.ā Collin protested.
āCan't we do history or social studies instead?ā Giselle asked.
Hilda put the tray of cookies on the table near the desks and walked back out.
āOkay, pop history quiz!ā Judith grabbed a pad of paper and pen. āHolst, you can participate too. Kids, if your uncle gets more correct answers than both of you combined, you're studying for another hour. If not, you can go out to Derdriu and walk the town. Get ready! Okay! During the founding of the Adrestia Empire, the sky dragon Seiros had a human champion, Wilhelm. Wilhelm and his wife's first born was named?ā
āLysander?ā Collin guessed.
āLycaon.ā Holst said.
āOne point for Holst! Who was Claudia von Riegan?ā
Giselle slammed her fist on the desk. āInfluential figure in the Crescent Moon War, became archduchess, and an ancestor of mine!ā
āGrandma would have named Dad Claudia if he was a girl!ā Collin added.
Judith smiled. āIt's tied now! Name the Gautier margravine who led Faerghus against Sreng in 895!ā
Holst scratched his head. āZoe?ā
āOh, Laetitia Zoe Gautier.ā Collin said.
āShould I give your old uncle a half point?ā
āNo!ā Both twins shouted.
Judith snickered. āTwo to one, kids' advantage.ā She grabbed an hourglass. āFlash round! Name all twelve crests that come from Nemesis and the Ancient Elites! Go!ā
āRiegan! Daphnel!ā Giselle shouted.
āGoneril!ā Holst added.
āThe Beast, now known as Maurice!ā Collin whooped. āBlaiddyd! Gautier!ā
āGloucester!ā Giselle added. āCharon!ā
āOh, Flames.ā Holst said.
Giselle nearly shot out of her seat. āLamine! Fraldarius!ā
āDominic!ā Collin added.
The hourglass ran out of sand. āThat's eleven to two,ā Judith said. āHolst needs to go back to school.ā
āI could have gotten more. They were rapid fire.ā Holst smiled.
When the twins decided to go to different shops in Derdriu and separated, Judith pulled Giselle aside at the cafe. āI want to give you some advice away from your brother. Woman to woman.ā
Giselle blinked and took a seat.
āIt's about the roundtable. Things that I didn't even teach your father. I'm sure you're aware, but a woman on the roundtable won't be taken seriously as much as the men. It's wrong, but it's the way it is.ā
āThey have to, Dad has named me next in line to lead House Riegan.ā
āThey might respect you to your face. But behind your back they'll expect you to marry one of their sons and pop out heirs and then they'll see you only as a wife and mother.ā
Giselle thought about a certain handsome Gautier boy. The food arrived and she poked at her pasta.
āLandon was trying to court me,ā she said. āI figured his dad was encouraging him to do so. He didn't seem into it. I intimidate him.ā
Judith smiled. āAtta girl. You need to be intimidating.ā
āBut House Riegan is important, so it will need to live on. I don't mind continuing it, but it will be with a man I love and trust and on my own terms. House Daphnel...Judith, what's your plan?ā
āI will train a successor. I'm too old to bear children. But we're straying from the topic.ā Judith took a bite of her garlic bread. āYou need to know they're going to talk behind your back. Don't let them intimidate you, you keep intimidating them as much as you can. Don't take their bait. Be tactful and tell them off without swearing as much as possible, lest they label you the 'angry vulgar woman'. Keep going into that room with confidence and, to be blunt, bigger balls than they have, yours are displayed proudly on your chest.ā
I am excited to officially announce my project, the Fire Emblem: Beyond Fodlan Prompt Meme! It's a chill AO3 challenge to celebrate Fire Emblem games with fewer numbers of fanworks! If you're interested and want to learn more, check it out here:

Ok, mother of GOD that's a lot of responses and I am but one man with Excel. I'll update these ASAP but also some rules:
A Pokemon only counts for itself, not its evolution line.
A Pokemon with multiple forms (like Zygarde) will only be counted for the specified form. A Pokemon with multiple appearances (like Spinda, Vivillon, Sylvally, etc.) count for all their appearances.
I'm literally doing this as a testament to my own depression that not everyone is lovable, so add that to the weight of this post's meaning.

That thing where milkmaids were often immunized against small pox because they'd already contracted the weaker cow pox earlier in their lives. That's Tumblr, to me, against whatever the hell social media landscape is happening in 2026.
"TikTok Instagram Youtube-Shorts Share-Your-Whole-Life Influencer Social-Media Online Online Online" it cannot affect me. I was already a weird online 16-year-old all so many years ago. You cannot grab me raw and unfortified with these poisons. I inoculated myself when glomping was a thing. I am still on Tumblr making text poasts.
Hi this psa is brought to you by my boss nearly killing us via carbon monoxide poisoning.
Heaters like this are labelled for Indoor/Outdoor usage, however that indoor label is misleading af.
Indoors in this context means a drafty garage or car port, not your living room or bedroom. Unless the room you're in is well ventilated with fresh air, don't use this fucker indoors.
Please reblog for visibility, this could quite literally save a life.
