You write for animal crossing? I've never written for it, but one thing I love is when people pair up villagers with characters from another franchise. Like that comic where Rodrigue is inexplicably hanging out with Punchy and Leopold is holding Seteth's cell phone on his head
I do, but I haven't posted about it yet. It's one of those things I want to eventually start making content for someday.
But it's so funny you mention Seteth and Leopold because I always thought they looked so much alike! I found myself calling him Seteth and giving him the custom greeting "I have something to ask."
His default house even looks like a classroom! I think that's so neat.
what does hilda thing of harding resembling balthus? does holst dote on him? and is he close friends with soraya just as their parents are? (also i like how you kept up with all the gonerils having “h” names)
Taking these one at a time lol
What does Hilda think of Harding resembling Balthus?
"You know what? Now that you mention it, he does look like Baltie! Aww, now I cant unsee it! He looked so much more like me when he was little. Oh, this is all Baltie's fault for spending too much time around him back then; I'm sure of it!"
Does Holst dote on him?
"Yeah, he dotes alright... If it was up to him? I'd have been spoiled absolutely rotten. But, hey, I won't say no to some praise and a few gifts here and there. Only thing that annoys me is when he starts expecting things from me just cause I'm good at stuff. Being capable just runs in the family, but that doesn't mean I gotta like it."
Is he close friends with Soraya just like Hilda and Claude are?
"Raya? Oh-ho, yeah. That's my girl right there! We go waaaay back. This is, she's always got some new mischief to make and, well, I can't say it isn't fun every time. Nobody parties like Raya and I mean nobody. And if you want to try your hand at changing my mind? Ahaha... good luck, friend."
(Thank you! Kinda shot myself in the foot for any future siblings, though. They don't all have H names lol)
Man. My aroace ass totally forgot romantic attraction isn't just a fictional thing. It's kinda embarrassing how wrong i was about ines bc i just headcanoned her as a fellow socially anxious aroace who picked Felix to "have a crush on" to show everyone that She Does Experience Romantic Attraction Like Girls Her Age (and also to rile up oriana, let's be real she loves trolling lol), and gets super weird about the fujoshi-ing bc she has no real experience with romantic or sexual attraction and thus compensates by projecting tropes from fiction onto guys' relationships (bc doing the same w girls or het would hit too close to home). Anyway glad to know more about our problematic fave girl lol.
You know, it's funny you mention this. Whenever I make my kids, I don't really think about their attractions or even if they do/don't have any. I'm so focused on every other part of their design that it doesn't occur to me to give them one.
Ines is an outlier, really.
I think she's the only one with a preference that's actually confirmed because it's such an integral part of her character (maybe with the exception of Harding?). Being attracted to men isn't all she is, but it's something she is so painfully overt about as to make one uncomfortable.
What would the family dynamic be like with Dorothea and Casper’s kids?
🩵House Bergliez (Caspothea Edition)❤️
So, that "Let's just focus on staying good friends" bit only lasted but so long, apparently. Caspar became a general, Dorothea left the opera (again), and they spent the rest of their lives together...
... along with their two children.
🧸🐻Beauty and the Bear🎶✨
When Philippe first came into the world, everyone knew he was bound to be different from the rest of the Bergliez family. He wasn't born particularly solid or hyperactive like his father or grandfather had been, nor did he really grow into that kind of life either. What he did have in abundance was his mother's beauty -- along with his father's blue hair - and a charming wit that made even the hardest of noble hearts soften with just a smile.
Despite this, he didn't shy away from picking up a weapon or two as a youngster. An axe was a bit bulky but manageable, but a lance? A lance he could handle with ease, even as a youngster. It was the birth of his little sister that would really put his unusual nature into perspective.
Hedy was wild fresh out of the womb, happy and carefree no matter what. Falling out of a chair? She'd giggle even when she hit her head. Escaping from her crib to run around the house? A mad dash to see who could catch her first. And when she picked up an axe for the first time to cleave a practice dummy in twain with a big swing, there was no doubt who she was. Baby Bear of Bergliez, they called her -- tamed only by her big brother.
The two of them would be so very different in many ways, just like their parents. Meeting in the middle would be easier than most would assume at first glance, though.
After all, Hedy may be a rough and tumble tomboy, but she adores cute things. Cute dresses, stuffed animals, accessories - the works. Who doesn't want to look adorable while running at Mach 10 through the halls of the palace during a summit of the ministers (potentially knocking over a certain dark-haired advisor in the process)? With Philippe's talent for tailoring and needlework, there's no doubt she would never have to worry about her party gowns being too restricting or her uniforms too boring - and Philippe would always have a more than eager younger sister to model costume and fashion designs for him.
Dorothea would certainly have her hands full with Hedy. The hyperactivity would need to be curbed now and again, especially when in polite company; it's likely that would be so much easier after years dealing with Caspar. But when they were alone, they would have as much time for play as they could. Dress up, stories, and even tea parties for her and her friends. While Hedy is unlikely to inherit Dorothea's talent for song and theatre, she would always sit still for her stories of life in the opera and every performance her mother would be willing to put on for her. Once she'd grown up enough, it's likely many of Dorothea's old outfits would make their way into her closet, and even on the battlefield, she'd be wearing something beautiful - just like mama.
As for Caspar and Philippe, their main point of contention would be how different they are from each other. Hearing what the troops would have to say about him in comparison to his father and grandfather would perhaps irritate Philippe for a time, but knowing Caspar, he surely would intervene and call out any soldier who disrespected his boy. So what if Philippe had a pretty face and liked to sew? That didn't make him any less of a warrior. Hearing that would bolster Philippe's motivation to continue being a knight, no matter how he was treated.
Random thought, but the idea of Artemas getting notably more flustered around girls than Apollo is great. Gives him some of that signature Bernie Bear anxiety we know and love.
Actually, now that I think about it, how would Dimitri and Marianne go about telling the kids about the Agarthans? Not including Edel because from what you've said, it sounds like... well, she didn't.
It's not so much that she didn't tell Seigfried about them; Edelgard definitely alluded to them more than once and brought them up when he asked questions. But the more in-depth knowledge of the Agarthans he acquired came from Branwen and a bit of probing towards Hubert to get him to talk.
Edelgard just doesn't want Seigfried getting tangled up in their machinations. Not when 🪩The Disco Mole Men🪩 are so close to being eradicated.
As for Dimitri and Marianne...
💙House Blaiddyd (Dimimari Edition)🩵
If and when Dimitri got this information, either through Hapi or some "Hubert from beyond the grave" shenanigans like in VW, he and Marianne would sit the kids down and explain it to them in a way they could most likely understand.
That there are people who can disguise themselves as other people, people they trust or even strangers, and would try to persuade them to do bad things or hurt them. What would result from that is likely a kind of password between them.
For example, if Dimitri were to return from one of his jaunts outside and start acting a little different, they'd give the vocal password. If he doesn't respond correctly, the guards get called.
That, or self defense.
Being on the receiving end of the Blaiddyd or Beast crest would be a bad time for any evil mole man.
Here's the final third-in-command/ friendly opponent character's child unit:
Kypha Anne Fraldarius
Second Knight of Loog
"Though not as difficult as her father, Kypha has inherited Felix's... charm. She's aggressive and blunt, but efficient. If you need a job done quickly, I'd call her. Eshe tells me not to be abrasive with her - she's not as tough emotionally as she might like me to think." - Varvara
Likes: Flying, Freedom, Praise, Drinking, Singing
Dislikes: Singing in front of people, Criticism, Loneliness, Sword Training, Imperfection.
Tallents: Sword, Flying, Lance
Hidden Tallent: Reason
Bad At: Riding, Axe
Gameplay Notes: Kypha works best as a dark flyer, but could easily be any flying unit. She has high avoidance, so would be good at dodging as she does chip damage with magic or weapons.
Here is Kypha's pegasus: her name is Cynthia!
Though she hates being seen without makeup, occasionally this portrait would be used in supports where someone stumbles in on her room or there's a mixup or something. She's very insecure about many things, including her appearance.
Design Notes:
It was actually really difficult to design Kypha! I originally wanted to contrast Felix as a person, so made Kypha really bubbly and silly, but that just didn't feel right for her. Particularly with Felix's parenting style I pictured. A hands off, but strict approach would be unlikely to yield a daughter full of joy and whimsy. So I scrapped the whole thing, and tried again.
I love the cold Kypha who's emerged from the design process. She has a lot of dark flyer (the constance class) elements in the design as well.
Also whydoihavetopickaname did her portrait - I think it looks fab!
Naming choice:
Kypha as in the feminine of Kyphon Fraldarius (Loog's bestie), Anne because that was the only French feminine name that worked with Kypha (at least in our opinions)
Oh, yeah. Modern!Dion would absolutely buy designer shades, too. Because if he has to walk outside to be accosted by the sun, he might as well look good doing it.
(No glasses version below)
Note: It is extremely rare to see him without his veil/glasses when around people - inside or outside.
What are your thoughts on the three houses baby banner? Since we know what Edelgard and Dimitri looked like in the game, did Claude, Felix and Ingrid look like how you imagined them?
I actually really like these designs. It's like getting fullsized designs of what Fodlan children would wear, which definitely helps me with my character designs. The FEH artists cooked with these.
But, uh, where's Sylvain? Dedue???
I like that El gets her dagger, but I am curious why they gave Dimitri a rapier instead of a lance. Then again, he does know how to use a sword. He taught kids at the monastery before. Very cute, I like. Edelgard was definitely cold wearing Adrestian clothes in Faerghus.
Adorable and very cozy. This is exactly how I imagined he'd look! I did think his hair would be slightly longer, but with it short, it makes him look like a little bird. He already looks so serious, but his flavor text says his brother is still around.
Zdravstvuyte, Inga! She looks so cute like this. Honestly, what I'm learning from their outfits in Faerghus is the design of their clothes feels like it's supposed to be Russian inspired. They just remind me of those old pictures of little Russian kids wrapped in layers of furs lol
Such a scamp, this one! I love everything about this, and especially that bow of his. Somebody did their research. A recurve horse bow and he's a mounted unit? Well done. The little red braid sticking out of his headwrap to mimic his actual braid later gives such a good contrast to his sandy and olive colours!
man. inigo and roxanne are so shippable. roxanne as a mom for soleil also sounds interesting lol
Second generation ships? Hadn't really considered that, to be perfectly honest! I agree, they would be very cute together.
And honestly, the idea of Roxanne meeting a guy who could quite literally sweep her off her feet and eloping to another world with him is such an Aegir thing to do. Those hopeless romantics.
adia loves and hates her father... What a vibe lol
Yeah, Adia and Hubert have a complicated relationship. When she was younger he spent most of his time working - consolidating a continent wide imperial regime is a difficult task, and Edelgard needed his constant assistance as her hand in the shadows, not to mention the war against TWSTD. Adia looked up to him as her inspiration, and the lack of supervision meant that she got into documents and things that she ought not to have. Of course her mother was there (unless her mother was Edelgard, which will compound her problems) and her aunt (the sister in 3Hopes), but they all had busy lives too.
Most of the time she was able to spend with Hubert was when he took short breaks from roaming the continent, and taught her magic. He was always so proud of her - and felt the most comfortable to express his love - during those lessons, which motivated her to become more useful to the empire. He jokingly called her “my precious asset” once, and it never really left Adia’s mind. Hubert regrets that now. Adia mistook his pride and excitement over her magical growth as the reason she was loved, and began equating usefulness to the capacity to be cared for.
Hubert for his part deeply loves Adia, he viewed his work as important to creating a new order - one especially made for his daughter. He threw his affection for her into his work, determined that he should complete imperial power consolidation quickly so he could spend time with her. As the years passed on, Hubert never realised it was getting too late to do so.
Adia discovered her passion for Agarthan magic and technology, as well as fascinating biological experiments when she was young. Some of the documents she read talked about them and their help in the war. As she began helping her father, she became more intent on studying it. Paired with her desire to be an indispensable asset so she would be loved, she tried out minor experiments on herself.
It started off small, but grew until she tried the ritual mentioned in her character bio.
Hubert was appalled. The magic might spread, until it took all of her, or it could just stay as it was, still changing her mind and body to its whims. Hubert views her doing this as his single worst mistake. Letting his daughter experiment on herself is worse than letting Edelgard get taken by TWSTD, although both he deeply regrets. He now takes care of Adia on a regular basis, and employs others to assist him in continuing to help the Hresvelg’s with the Vestra's iron grip on Fodlan.
Adia flips between hating Hubert for letting this happen to her, to loving him for motivating her. She adores him and what he does for the empire, and despises how little time he used to spend with her. She's not really sure how she feels, and that is only muddied as she grows further and further from the woman she once was.
You mentioned in a previous Hubernie post that Artemas and Apollo would be jealous of Siegfried for a while after they found out that they weren't planned for. What would their dynamic with Siegfried be like during and after they get over their jealousy?
That's assuming they get over their jealousy at all.
The main reason for the Hubernie!Twins' jealousy in the first place is because of how much attention Seigfried gets from their family and especially their big sister.
Seigfried would have come earlier than them, and with Branwen already 5-6 years old, she would have begun her training as his vassal by the time they're born. Given her new responsibilities as not only the heiress to House Vestra but also the vassal of the new baby prince, she would have to divide her attention between her actual brothers and His Highness often.
That inevitability irritates the two early on in a very "but she's mine!" kind of way. Try thinking of it like how children argue over toys.
And their "unplanned = unwanted" rhetoric would only exacerbate their insecurity, becoming jealous of Seigfried who was planned for. Not only was Seig planned for, but since he was born premature and sickly, now all of Adrestia cared what was going on with him, taking Branwen and their parents' attention away from them. It wouldn't be true, exactly. Bernadetta and Hubert would likely try to reassure them that they are loved regardless of how they came into the world with varying degrees of success each time.
As they get older, around their default ages, Seigfried would likely know that the twins don't much care for him but do their duty anyway, apologizing for the way his unusual circumstances caused them so much sorrow. That alone could either soften them up to him or make them angrier.
Hubert, Branwen, and even Bernadetta would have put so much of themselves into the prince's care that him apologizing in his usual self-deprecating way would sound something like "all that time they spent on me was wasted effort" to their ears. On the flip side, it may make them like the guy a little more after they've given themselves time to heal. It wasn't Seig's fault he was born a little broken; he didn't ask to be made this way or be born before them.
If and when they got over their hurt feelings, they'd probably apologize to Seigfried (Artemas some time before Apollo and likely one on one) and try to make amends for their foul behaviour towards him. By the time they're grown up, it's likely they'll have already gone their separate ways or become really good friends with him.
Do you have any headcanons for what the countries outside of Fodlan are like?
Not really, but I can try to think of some. Sorry if they're not that in depth.
My biggest headcanon (which is probably just a fact, idk) is that the world of Fodlan and its surrounding countries are based on Eurasian empires of old.
Brigid
Since it's a tropical archipelago, I imagine it shares a lot of similarities with Hawaii or other small island nations with dense rainforests, clear oceans, and sandy beaches. With the weather probably being warmer there, their clothes are light and airy to allow for ease of movement and cooling off. Shrines to nature spirits are commonplace, found atop large boulders or wrapped around trees to appease them.
I also headcanon that the bones of one or two of the children of the goddess can be found here, mostly buried by the earth after the long passage of time. Skulls and rib cages can be seen jutting out of hillsides or underwater reefs.
Almyra
Based almost entirely on the Persian empire and Middle Eastern territories, which isn't much of a headcanon as it is a fact. I think there has to be part of Almyra that is lush with pine trees, wide rivers and/or lakes closer to the mountainous border separating it from Leicester. There's likely a city similar to Babylon somewhere eastward with something reminiscent of the hanging gardens.
I headcanon that matchmaking culture is really common here, and marrying someone not of Almyra would make you a social pariah. This only relaxed from bring taboo after Tiana became queen, and even then it is still a bit unusual.
Sreng
Similar to Mongolia and Northeast China in that it's mostly flatlands but also hosts a variety of scenic mountains. I think that the basic template for the in-game Swordmaster and Mortal Savant classes may have originated from here.
I also headcanon Charon or an earlier relative of his may have originally been from the northernmost part of Faerghus - or perhaps Sreng itself - and traveled southward, eventually leading him to be in contact with Nemesis.
Morfis
The City of Illusions, I headcanon, is home to very distant descendants of the children of the goddess who left Fodlan to live elsewhere. Their draconic traits have been diluted so much that it's almost impossible to tell that they have that heritage at all. I believe that the sheer abundance of magic they use there has basically seeped into the earth itself, allowing for a wide range of elemental magics to be practiced - and maybe for it to effect the biology of the people living there, resulting the creation of legends about magical creatures.
I also think that the basic template for Dancers originated here as well.
Albinea
Basically the FE3H equivalent of Greenland. Don't really know much about Albinea, but I imagine a lot of what makes it special is what's hidden under all that ice. Since the Rhodos Coast - where Seteth's wife is buried - is so close to the place, I wonder if more descendants of the children of the goddess emigrated there to live in isolation away from the human threat.
I headcanon the place is basically a giant wildlife preserve with hardly any human or humanoid activity. Also, it has a non-zero chance of having its own mythological creatures living there.
Duscur
Firmly believe Duscur has a North-Northeast African style. According to Dedue, Duscur had many towns that specialized in one trade each. So, if he was the son of a blacksmith, I headcanon that he was from a smithing town right on the other side of the Sacred Gwenhwyvar Mountains that separate the region from the rest of Faerghus. The reason I think so is because since his community worked with metals, they would want to stay as close to the metal deposits as they could. Gold and metal accessories were probably more common in that town than the others for that reason, which explains why Dedue has his gold earring - and why Kleiman wanted the region so badly.
I also headcanon that some people of Duscur escaped across the sea to the continent right above them which could be similar to Iceland in its terrain.
