Elysian

In three words: queer RPG nerd. Throw whatever pronouns you want at me. Not a minor. Currently obsessed with Fire Emblem Engage. If you're a terf/zionist/some other flavour of bigot, don't interact with me, bye.

Hi, I'm Elysian and this is my main fandom blog.

You can find my fics over here. I like writing meta, analysing my favourite characters and all their emotional baggage. I also like silly memes and making fun of them.

I love the second gen Fell Dragons from Fire Emblem Engage (that's Alear, Veyle, Rafal and Nel), most of my original posts about them are tagged as Fell Dragon Friday. Male Alear/Rafal is my number one ship.

Currently on a Locked Tomb kick as well (love those unhinged lesbian necromancers) and The Hundred Line.

Trans friendly, aro+ace friendly. If you'd describe yourself as an anti then you probably won't like some of what's here.

Anon asks are usually off. I'm a pretty chill person, so there's no need to feel hesitant about sending messages with your name attached.

I want to write more in 2026. And there’s only one way I can do it—by writing the most self-indulgent garbage you have ever seen.

me when the character has a uniquely fucked mindset. me when the character's fundamental views of how the world works lead to them being hurt and/or hurting others and not seeing the problem with this. me when the character is a little freak who does weird shit because their beliefs, inspired entirely by their environment, are fuckeddddd

[radioactive-yuri]

[said with so much adoration in my heart it physically hurts] why would they say that. what do they mean by that. why would they do this❤️ [also said while knowing exactly why they'd do this and, in fact, having done hours of analysis into why they'd do this]

Finally unlocked The Yiga Clan's Retreat in Age of Calamity and I am losing my MIND.

Most emotionally-charged mission of the game for me. Amazed it was DLC rather than part of the main story (which provides the bare minimum stepping stones for how Master Kohga switches from enemy to ally). Though it was a significant factor in getting me to spend the extra cash, so uh, well played I guess Nintendo.

I eventually managed to unlock the third memory challenge - which is a goal I'd been desperately trying to achieve anyway because those are my guys - but I'm not clear on whether Sooga actually survives in that case, or it's more like no he's always dead but you get to play as him anyway just for fun?

...But if it's the second case then that's stupid as hell, since AoC is explicitly The AU Where Everyone Lives. The Champions make heroic last stands, but they're saved! The King makes a heroic last stand, but he's saved! Link makes a heroic last stand against precisely the same enemies Sooga did, for precisely the same reason, but he's saved!

So according to the established rules and precedents of the setting, Sooga must be alive too if you play your cards right. There we go. Mystery solved (:

an interest passing feels like being abandoned by the evil spirit that had taken possession of your body

[s-aint-elmo]

pulling out hanks of grass and sighing listlessly. i kind of miss being posessed. isn't there an evil spirit somewhere that wants to possess meeee

One of the best things about being a writer is thinking of something small you can add to your work that’s just. Devastating. Like you’re sitting there going. Oh. That would be diabolical. People would get really riled up about that. Exquisite. Let’s do it.

Great Wizard, please have your tower checked for any leaks of dangerous chemicals. I fear that you might be affected by the infamous "carbon monoxide"

They already did a bit of this, but they could've done more with Alear inheriting the title of god

It is something that Alear brings up a couple of times, but I think it needed more emphasis

Alear has the entire world placing their faith in them, and it's different from the other lords because while they have expectations placed on them as royalty, those are still human expectations. Alear is supposed to succeed a god. The expected level of perfection is a lot higher

The world can survive bad kings and queens, but a bad god???

The best comparison I think of is Aang from Avatar who for reasons completely out of his control has expectations, responsibilities, and worst of all blame placed on him solely because the world is defined by his choices

Alear was a missed opportunity to really confront this type of story from the "Yune" or "Mila" side of things where they wanna do right by their people, but knowing mistakes can affect them on a much larger scale

[elysianstars]

And also. And also! A god who some of the faithful credit with more omniscience/omnipotence than they actually have, which sets up problems (maybe some of those priests need to revise their scripture).

Remember when Celine meets them for the first time, and says how she expected the Divine Dragon to be an all-powerful being?

Remember how Mauvier's family turned away from Lumera because they felt she wasn't answering their prayers (that in all likelihood she was utterly oblivious to, because Divine Dragons don't have some sort of magic prayer telepathy)?

Like if someone needs to sit on that throne, then Alear is probably the best person possible to do it, but it's still A Lot. It's a role they'll need time and support to completely grow into, far beyond the end of the game.

Cats understand "naughty". In fact I think they're the only animal who understands it. Dogs know "good" and "bad" but not Naughty. Same with theft. Cats know what theft is. They know when they are thieving and you can see it on their faces. Squirrels are thieves but they don't know that. They know "take" and "have" but they don't comprehend what it is to steal. Nor do raccoons or coyotes or any species of rodent. They may participate in theft but they are ignorant of the weight of what they do, the full meaning of it. Cats know what crime is and they do it on purpose.

Fire Emblem Engage Chapter 40 Part 2

Part 1 of chapter 40 will be here.

So... this is it. That's the manga adaptation of Fire Emblem Engage.

Even after 500 years, Alear is still a clutzy boy.

What a journey it's been. I originally picked up translating this one because, at the time (around chapter 15 or so), the other translators had fallen behind, and I had managed to work my way around Jump+ to get the raws and catch the series up. And then just... stuck with it, because Fire Emblem is one of my big fandoms.

Of course, then the Mangadex purge happened, and my uploads of this became exclusive to here. But that's not important.

There'll probably be a bonus chapter for Volume 8 when that finally comes out later this year, but now... we lay this one to rest.
