If Arvis was playable until betrayal in an FE4 remake or something, who do you think would be or like as his support convos? Sigurd and Deirdre seem like guarantees, maybe Aida?

unsure abt aida considering she's an npc but i would LOVE to see a support convo w azelle considering theyre half brothers and arvis basically raised him. edain or claud would also be a similarly interesting convo given their devout faith meanwhile he's. future dad of the antichrist (and claud already knows he's going to betray them)

Now I know in canon most of the Batfam has died at somepoint. But if I ruled it, the only one I'd really keep is Jason(and more like a half death thing), like I understand it's comic book world with incarnations of light and death around, necromancers, zombies, phoenixes.

But, it also feels like it cheapens it if it'd happen everytime.Instead I'd make em be extended hospital stays and maybe partially disabling injuries(not trying to step on Barbaras deal as Orcale, bur you know as human vigilantes that get as horrible injuries as the Batfam do, maybe real physical cost should be a bit of the price of that, still not really certain who would it be)

Anywho going over all that, what do you think the Batfam would do think some fun or sad interactions they could have with their allies and teams(maybe non-canon friendships if you have any of those) instead as injuries rather than their deaths in comic canon? Maybe a bit post the hopsice stay if you like the idea?

death in comics stops feeling meaningful when it becomes a revolving door, and the Batfamily in particular works best when the stakes feel grounded. Replacing “death arcs” with severe injuries or long rehab stays actually keeps things more emotionally consistent.

Long-term injury arcs give you:

Characters are forced to sit with vulnerability, fear, guilt, and responsibility rather than having a magical reset button.

Injuries create downtime and downtime is where the Batfamily actually bonds.

Dick jokes through pain, Jason pretends he doesn’t need help, Tim works anyway, Damian gets stubborn, Bruce gets anxious. Everyone interacts differently and that’s compelling.

Characters can grow from surviving trauma, not from returning from death.

So yeah I think this approach gives you way more narrative potential and keeps the stakes meaningful.

So yeah, I think you could get some truly sweet, sad, or hilarious interactions out of this idea. A post-injury hospice stay would fit them weirdly well.

What's a game series you'd like a for a Fire Emblem spinoff to take inspiration of? Sorta like the Musou games for Fire Emblem Warriors.

And maybe, what's another series you'd like to have a Fire Emblem style game?

Honest answer for a Fire Emblem spinoff would be Mario Party. I think that'd be unhinged and hilarious

As for something that makes more sense, a proper rhythm game is the safest bet but a tower defense or a real time strategy game would be great! (Although the latter is basically Unicorn Overlord. That game's a Fire Emblem in my heart)

As for a series that would be fun in Fire Emblem's style... I'd say Octopath Traveler but that's basically what Triangle Strategy is.

Xenoblade wouldn't mix well with Fire Emblem at all gameplay wise so...

Actually you know what? A soulslike with Fire Emblem's gameplay would be interesting!

If Fe4 Arvis had been playable until his betrayal, who do you think would be interesting to pair him with/have a secret Grannvale kid among the 2nd gen?

i guess my only answer to this would be that i would want saias to be a character in fe4 LMAO

Hello Coffee, I wanted to ask you. What mythological being/hero do you think is best fit or you would like the most for a pseudo-servant Maiya Hisau? Pseudo-Servants are basically beings to high up the cosmic scale to be summoned as servants normally using previous or currently existant humans as vessels to be summoned as servants. However milage varies on how much of the personality gets replaced, some get fully taken over, some share, some are basically the human with grandoise powers.

Hey! I've been puzzling over this for a couple of days, and after consulting with the council (@hatchuu) we've unfortunately reached the conclusion that... there isn't a neat or cool answer to this, mostly because Maiya, by design, doesn't really have enough going on to qualify for a Pseudo Servant! If she's a character with very little sense of self, maybe that means she'd make a great "empty vessel" for any Heroic Spirit wandering around looking for a body to inhabit, but it also means that she doesn't have enough thematic resonance to call to anyone in particular.

We were trying to think of mythical figures who are famous for loyally supporting other, more famous characters, to the point where they're subsumed into their legends and don't really exist in their own context, because that could telegraph nicely onto how Maiya really only moves through the world in connection to Kiritsugu and could be a cool thing to explore... but even the examples I could come up with are still too famous. e.g. Patroclus is mostly known for his relationship to Achilles and isn't necessarily remembered on his own merit in popular culture, but he's still one of the big plot-relevant players in The Iliad, you know? Much as I personally feel devastated every time I think of it, Fate/Zero's actual story was not altered by Maiya's death in any way nearly as significant as many other mythic "sidekicks". She also doesn't telegraph nicely with any mythic or historical figures famous for being a mistress/lover, since they tend to operate within a very different archetype, so that also doesn't work.

The best we could come up with is going conceptual with it (which Fate gives you plenty of license to do, of course) and saying that the ideal Heroic Spirit to merge with Maiya and wear her face is like... the abstract representation of unknown soldiers, the collective souls of ordinary young people anonymised and lost to the grind of the war machine across history. The crux of her character is that her personhood has been worn away by her trauma and her treatment as a weapon and a utility, to the point where she apparently has no name until Kiritsugu gives her a fake passport, and sees herself as a machine rather than a human. Thinking of Kiritsugu's "no honour on the battlefield" dialogue, she kind of represents the awful reality of war that's being covered up by the shiny, glorious myths humanity has immortalised - so it makes sense that as a "Heroic Spirit" she wouldn't be one in the traditional sense, but instead a manifestation of the mortal lives diminished and destroyed without ever getting their stories told. I think you could get some very juicy thematic storytelling out of that.

Would a request of what you think Ulti(the purple/blue dinogirl) looks like as a Marine be alright?

I kind of got lazy with the marine uniform, but here you go

Could I ask for some friendship headcanons, like of your Bambietta. Could be with anybody, Yoruichi, Harribel(always thought it'd be fun if they have a rivalry, because "Firey and Explosive" vs "Waterbound and Coolheaded", but it'd also be fun for em to just talk/interact) or really any character you think'd be fun.

Without getting too deep into the weeds on different views of friendship among peoples and cultures, the short version is Bambietta has very few friends and they tend to be localized to Soul Society in her present day. My view is she always knew that her relationships with the other Bambies weren't friendships (with maybe a possible exception in Candice) but she took what she could get at the time. Her current interactions, largely with Shinigami, are better but not by that much.

They're often fairly awkward and stilted. She deliberately picks Rangiku as someone to hang out with (much like Soifon seemed to simply decide Kiyone was her friend) but is overly blunt and kind of parasocial. She winds up interacting with Momo a decent amount due to some shared similarities. She has a one-sided pseudo-rivalry with my own Yoruichi (which the latter thinks is rather amusing) but I can see that being a crush on a different one.

She's kind of a homebody outside of work or Quincy functions, but has done things like show up at Shinigami Women's Association meetings (in a shihakushō, no less).

I can imagine her readily having interactions with other women in the Seireitei too. I interpret some of Kubo's art as suggesting she has a thing for horror movies, so she might try and get others interested in that too, and that could make for funny interactions with Rukia and Isane? Nanao probably wouldn't like her as she'd likely try and get Shunsui interested in beer.

She would have a very awkward time if she ran into Sajin again. Her efforts to regain her Vollständig might attract the attention of 12th Division, which she would very much not be crazy about.

These are more outlines than specific headcanons, but hopefully they at least stir the imagination. I try not to zero in on anything too specific here since I'm not doing fic and don't want to force rigid ideas on people. Anyway, thanks for asking!

Speaking of rare Isane rarepairs, I have one too: Kotetsu Isane x Soi-fon. Both are pining for their mentors, but they're their elder mentors who see it more as a puppy crush so they won't reciprocate. Maybe an AU, a younger Isane meets a younger Soi-fon as she throws herself into rigorous training and fighting Hollows. At one point that she ends up in thw medics Isane nearly chains her to her bed saying something like "You can't keep pushing yourself like this Soi-Fon, it's suicidal. As the caretaker of your life, I won't allow it." This gives Soi-fon a sense of respect for Isane. So maybe they start trainkng together so Isane make sure she doesn't break herself, in turn Soi-Fon basically teaches her Ninjutsu and Kung-Fu or well the equivalent of a Shinigami.

👀

My eyes a huge and i am LISTENING

I heard about this ship before and I also considered their respective one-sided/incompatible pinings for Unohana and Yoruichi as a basis for them.

It helps that Soi Fon has more tolerance for women and respects those that follow authority (as seen in Soul Society arc), and Isane has proven time and time again to be steadfast, so I do believe she has Soi Fon's respect (and vice versa of course, Isane isn't rude)

They're also very avid members of the Shinigami Women's Association, so they already have some unspoken familiarity there. And for the physical attraction bit, Isane already thinks Soi Fon is cute on account of being petite, which is something she envies too so 👀👀👀 I like that.

I like this idea of them meeting when they're younger, too. And it's been confirmed that she knows little to no kaido, so whenever Soi Fon would need medical assistance, Isane would be one of her primary physicians once she becomes a lieutenant. It would be pretty fun seeing them have a sort of rough start tho, when Isane tries to get her information for medical history reasons and Soi Fon starts redacting every single detail 😂😂😂 stealth force antics and all that.

And now that they're both captains adds more chances for them to interact 👀
