吃得苦中苦，方为人上人。

"If you can swallow the bitterness, you can become one above another."

"Enduring deepening pain is how man ascends."

Two translations for a similar sentiment: it is through pain and hardship that we can learn and become better-- and eventually, overcome. No pain no gain, as they say.

Though, that doesn't mean it doesn't suck the entire time.

Explain to me why I spent 20 minutes scrolling and didn't see a single thing about Zayn replying to Liam, but I logged onto Twitter, which is broken (!!!) and I see it within one minute.

Y'all fake.

For that Assign a Universe thing, maybe Fire Emblem Awakening? Feel free to be super vague lmao don't need to do hardcore research (Dragonsmooch)

I knew I was going to get a Fire Emblem of some kind out of this at some point, thank you for this Dragon =P

drop a name of a piece of media in my inbox; I then have to construct a self-insert for the world of that media - ..Okay, so, I knew a tiny bit of how this game's plot goes, but it turns out it is way longer and more complex/has a lot more to it than I had previously thought. As such, I will in fact have to be not particularly detailed about this. I apologise.

I think I would be a Dark Mage, which probably surprises approximately no-one. Though the wiki does indicate that Dark Mages have an allegiance to the Fell Dragon Grima (and I don't know how evil I'd want to be here), although I couldn't tell if that was just "a thing that just happens to be true for all Dark Mages seen in-game" or "something that is part of being a Dark Mage", and also their in-game outfits are.. something alright. So maybe if not one of those then a Dark Flier?

I hope this suffices as an answer ;w; thank you kindly for sending this in, friend

#a call from the void #uh #selfship #selfshipping #except also not really #self-inserts #out of the inbox #selfship asks #dragon tag!#look my only personal experience with anything fire emblem is watching a playthrough of tokyo mirage sessions #so anytime i hear the title of the series it is not the fancy shield which comes to mind but instead a pop song #which apparently is also a divine ritual. i think. it's slightly ridiculous.#I was also therefore slightly surprised by how tiki appears in awakening. i'm used to her being a kid and also a vocaloid #I genuinely thought that what I had picked up on about this game was more of the game so the wiki page was quite an experience =P

so I decided it would be fun to try and play DQIX but with Sapphire and some of the other XC2 characters (or rather, a patch someone made for DQIX that changes some vocations’ stats and spells and whatnot so it’s way more balanced)

At the moment I’m thinking of going with the following party setup:

Sapphire as a thief with a knife (since the patch buffs knife skills a lot, and also having high deftness and getting lots of critical hits is super fun) - also I like the idea of her knowing how to use knives in XC2 because she wanted to train with her dad and all his merc friends but all their weapons were too big for her when she was little

Vandham as a gladiator with an axe - axes are the closest thing to Roc’s Dual Scythes, gladiators have ridiculously high strength but aren’t overly dextrous or agile which fits his XC2 stats, and he’s a fighter rather than a tank which is why I picked gladiator over warriors despite those having higher resilience (and also because warriors can’t use axes)

Pyra as an armamentalist with a sword - armamentalists are decent attackers but also on the slower side (suiting her Smash Bros portrayal), yet can support the party a lot with their spells which mirrors her ability to work well with damage-over-time strategies in XC2, and I think the patch even gives armamentalists the fire-element Frizz line of offensive spells so that fits even more

and Perun as a paladin with a spear - not many vocations can equip spears, and to be honest it might better suit her XC2 stats to make her a warrior, but personality-wise she’s supposed to be very valiant and fight for justice and protect the weak, which suits how paladins are in DQIX extremely well. ..Not to mention we need someone to be able to heal in some way, haha

This is not going to be a viable party at all, but I think it’s the closest I can get to each of them (I’ll try and see how close I can get to making everyone appearance-wise in the game, too) and honestly? This is for fun!
