Shiro awaits you in the bathhouse ! Do you join him? 🤔♨️

[oriorchids]

i'm playing fire emblem fates for the first time (birthright route)

every character is so silly i love them all (which is why i am playing on casual hard mode)

i am so terrified i'll have to off my nohr siblings

putting more thoughts under a read more

so far i love all my hoshidan siblings! i think i have a slight takumi and sakura bias because i have a soft spot for healers and because takumi is very bullyable.

like. sir. you have like 9 RES

he made fun of leo for reading books too like i didn't read his supports and learn that takumi was also a total fucking nerd

anyways having a dancer-equivalent from the very beginning is very helpful. azura thank you for existing you make my strategies very fun to complete. and by strategies i mean sending in my strongest unit and watching them wreak havoc, usually corrin or ryoma since takumi can't one-range people.

(i remember playing through awakening. chrobin swept. in three houses i just had lysithea sweep everything with dark magic)

i put off playing fates for a while because i wanted to play it with the unofficial gay fates mod and i wasn't confident with adding mods to my 3ds games yet. safe to say i feel comfortable now!

my current matchmaking pairings are:

corrin + rinkah (i decided on this one in the very beginning i thought it'd be cute)

sakura + hana (princess and retainer!!)

takumi and hinata (prince and retainer!!!)

ryoma and saizo (PRINCE. AND. RETAINER!)

orochi and kagerou (duh)

jakob and silas (i thought it was funny)

felicia and azura (i thought their supports were cute)

kaden and azama (i looked up the UGF support list for this one)

i am dreading my conquest run i don't want to fight the hoshidans. then again i also don't want to fight the nohrians. i do want to get to know my nohr siblings more.

uh. can't wait for revelation!

ryoma/silas is such an underrated canon c-a support as it is and the gay fates hack just knocks it out of the park with the s and family supports on top of it. i love these two as siblings so much

Today’s Autistic character of the day is:

Shiro from Fire Emblem Fates

[fatesdeepdive]

Entry 42: The Hardest Birthright Map

Paralogue 7: Father and Liege

Ryoma and Takumi search for Ryoma’s son Shiro, who has left his Deeprealm after finding out Ryoma is the crown prince. A bandit named Tarba shows up and surrounds Shiro with a quite frankly ridiculous number of enemies.

So this map took me five attempts. It is the only chapter thus far that took more than one. I waited until Chapter 22 to play it, which made all of the enemies insanely strong. Which wasn’t a problem for me, but was a problem for Shiro, who was stuck unpromoted and kept dying before I could save him. It’s made worse by the fact that the entire map is desert and Shiro starts far away, surrounded by enemies. Not to say this map is hard, I just played it dumb and forgot I had a rescue staff.

Tarba, like many Paralogue bosses, is capturable. His last words when killed are “You haven’t seen the last of me!” which is supposed to be ironic, but ended up being literal when I captured him.

After the battle, Shiro yells at his father for never being around and keeping his destiny a secret. Shiro says that he only acted immature because he didn’t know he was going to be king and has a breakdown over being in a real battle, something Ryoma never prepared him for. Ryoma decides to take Shiro with him and train him to be a worthy ruler.

Shiro

Ryoma’s arrogant son. His personal skill, Noble Cause, boosts his damage dealt and taken when supporting an injured ally. His design is surprisingly generic for a prince, although I suppose that could tie into him not knowing his lineage. Personality-wise, he seems arrogant and a bit of a dick, although his horror over being in a real battle was nice.

Support: Ryoma/Shiro

C: Shiro asks Ryoma about his sword Ranjito. Ryoma says that it is a family heirloom that Shiro will inherit when he learns discipline. Shiro scoffs at this, saying that he's just as strong as his father. He also reveals that he became a Spear Fighter so he would have weapon triangle advantage over Ryoma.

B: Ryoma tells Shiro the various traits he'll need to be a good king.

A: Shiro shows Ryoma that he etched the words "Preparedness" and "Responsibility" on his arm guard as a reminder and swears he will become a good king. Ryoma praises him for growing up.

Review: A genuinely good Support that highlights that, despite his brashness, Shiro does want to become a good king and make his father proud.

Support: Shiro/Mother

C: Shiro asks his mother if Ryoma loves her.

B: Shiro's mother proves their love by showing her son all of the romantic letters Ryoma wrote over the years. Apparently, Ryoma is really sweet and eloquent in writing. The existence of these letters is very confusing if Shiro's mother is Felicia, Mozu, or some other woman who met Ryoma a few weeks prior and spent the entire time in the same army as him.

A: Shiro decides to write a love letter to his mother and make her a homecooked meal.

Review: Painfully bland.

Support: Corrin/Shiro

C: Corrin finds Shiro spearfishing. He feeds her.

B: After five consecutive meals of fish, Corrin politely declines more fish. Instead, she asks Shiro to spar with her.

A: Shiro tells Corrin he trains so hard so he can surpass his father.

S: Shiro beats Corrin in a duel, which forces him to admit he loves her. There isn't even a letter mention, which means Corrin is completely fine marrying her nephew. This game is filled to the brim with incest.

Review: The stuff about Ryoma in the A-Rank isn’t bad, but other than that this Support is fairly mediocre.

Support: Moron/Shiro

C: Shiro tells Corrin that he thinks hereditary monarchies sound old fashioned and that he doesn't feel qualified to be a king. In a rare moment of progressiveness, he tells Corrin that the leader should be the most qualified.

B: Shiro says that the leader shouldn't be someone with the right birthright. It should be the strongest person. Corrin points out that Shiro is advocating for Garon style might-makes-right, but Shiro points out that Corrin would probably prefer to fight alongside someone like Reina than someone inexperienced. A statement that's kinda ironic considering that Corrin, who is completely inexperienced, is the effective leader of the group. Shiro ends the Support by saying that Corrin should be the next king. Corrin tells Shiro to prove his strength-based leadership idea by dueling him.

A: Corrin wins, but leaves Shiro's royal claim in his hands, telling him that his worries about not being good enough will make him a good king.

Review: A much more intelligent and philosophical Support than most. It is harmed by the game’s inability to abandon its praise of monarchies, even if the writers are aware that monarchies are by their very nature oppressive bigoted abominations. Also, Shiro’s philosophy is painfully dumb. Still, this one is better than I expected.
