Y'all can call me Stars. I draw and write things on the occasion. 23. He/Him or They/Them pronouns. Polytheist (Ptolemaic Kemetic). Multi-fandom blog. But mostly Fire Emblem 💙
Decided I should make an actual pinned post about myself
Hello, my name is Stars and this is my main blog. I don't actually have any side blogs, so anything my little squirrel brain is interested in at the moment is what you're gonna get. I post fanfics and art whenever my brain chooses to co-operate
- Stars Writes / Stars Draws (my creative tags)
- Stars Rambles (general blogging tag)
My current interest is Fire Emblem as a general, but a particular focus on Three Houses currently with Heroes, Fates, and a few others on the side occasionally. I mostly post about my worldbuilding for Faerghus (or Fódlan in general), and a lot about my ocs. Please note that I am very fond of the Blaiddyds
My AO3 if you're interested in learning more!
In terms of other interests I may occasionally blog about:
- Pokémon
- Okami
- Ace Attorney
- Elder Scrolls
- Monster Hunter
- Final Fantasy (particularly 7)
- Linguistics
- Worldbuilding
- Cartography
- Anthropological topics
Or pretty much anything that draws my interest at the moment. I do want to say that I am autistic and do have ADHD so my interests will change over time, but these are the big topics that make me happiest at the moment
OC Tags:
Rufus Cassius Blaiddyd (oc version of this character I made before Hopes came out)
Darya Ceridwen Artemi (Emyr's mother and Countess of Samara)
Emyr Artemi Blaiddyd (Dimitri's cousin and heir to the Grand Dutchy of Itha)
Valerius Gawain Kheiron (Blaiddyd bastard, servant to House Fraldarius)
Prince Remi (MU for FE Fates)
Dainnronil Alkinan (ESO Vestige)
Just for a starting point for the ones I post most frequently about. Asking about said ocs is a surefire way to make my day ;)
i love seeing fantasy media and people in general find out about the extinct irish elk and its mclargehuge antlers and using them in their stories but i feel like everyone's been sleeping on the also extinct bush antlered deer and its equally impressive antlers
i'm AWARE this is a stupid hill to die on, but like. trope vs theme vs cliché vs motif vs archetype MATTERS. it matters to Me and i will die on this hill no matter how much others decide it's pointless. words mean things
trope: 1) the use of figurative language for artistic effect; includes allegories, analogies, hyperbole, & metaphors, among others. 2) commonly reoccurring literary devices, motifs, or clichés. Includes things like the medieval fantasy setting, the Dark Lord, enemies-to-lovers, and the Chosen One.
theme: the reoccurring idea or subject in a work of art. Death, life, rebirth, change, love, what it means to be human, the definition of family, the effects of war, etc.
cliché: an element of an artistic work that has been overused to the point of losing its original meaning or effect, even becoming annoying or irritating. (Most clichés are tropes but not all tropes are clichés.)
motif: a distinctive repeating feature or idea, such as the green light in The Great Gatsby. May overlap with tropes and is often used to further explore the theme.
archetype: a constantly-recurring symbol or motif; it refers to the recurrence of characters or ideas sharing similar traits throughout various, seemingly unrelated cases in classic storytelling. E.g. rags to riches, the wise old mentor. Again may overlap with tropes, clichés, and motifs, but they're not the exact same thing.
I counted all Baldur's Gate 3 resident NPCs so you don't have to
And then I made a whole anthropological study about it
Spoiler, I guess, but honestly does it count? (pun intended)
If you prefer the real slides with real text in them, I've put them in my drive (I'd recommend downloading the thing to be able to read the graphs, however... Also google slides fucks up my presentation and idk how to fix it, big sad): https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/16LXCf8ytvFXqInEIG7x90SDx4CXNkSrF/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=106694258125622774911&rtpof=true&sd=true
If you want the raw data I put it on my drive. Take it and use it to blow up Florrick's car idk: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xNjBJolZh6a5vNC6bfJTNqfVuULyM2_e/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=106694258125622774911&rtpof=true&sd=true
Thank you for reading and I hope to see much more Flaming Fist slander in the future <3
