Oooo Constance or any of the wolves?? 💖
yes! constance! (i've been meaning to draw her for ages whoops)
I've had the dlc for two runs (vw and am, both hard) and idk if i'd ever play without constance again. She has two very specific features:
tied with lysithea for highest magic growth in the game
bolting
bolting is only learnt by constance (60% magic growth), hilda (25%), and manuela (35%). warlock/gremory gives +10% magic growth, giving constance a huge magic stat by the end of the game. her defences are horrible, but she shouldnt be getting attacked anyway.
by the time she's in warlock/gremory she can cast bolting four times, unless her crest of noa activates and she gets more uses, so she's able to completely remove four enemies per battle from across the map. I give her the ordelia sorcery co. battalion for +8 mag and +20 hit too, and thyrsus so she can hit from 5 range with her normal spells once she has S rank reason. She also gets fimbulvetr and agnea's arrow for increased power if needed. her weakness is powerful bosses with counter like the death knight, but otherwise she can one shot almost anything
I only ever bring one mage who can't learn physic per team, and it's constance now. She also has rescue, which isnt worth enough to get flayn a team spot, but it's really nice utility on constance.
I usually have her in warlock for bonuses to her black magic and double bolting castings, and then gremory for extra movement. With bolting I really don't need the utility of dark flier, and it's very rare that she gets so far from the fighting that she'd need it anyway (usually very spaced out maps, like the lysithea/ferdie paralogue)
anyway i really like constance
the other wolves:
balthus has a cool personality but other brawlers just tend to perform better for me, like byleth and felix (and he directly lost to cyril in the vw run)
hapi is... another linhardt. she has the same magic growth as him, and also learns physic and warp. she was a good replacement on my last run when he got bad magic level up rng in the early game and never recovered. i take her thru bishop just to get more heals and warps, and then end in gremory. she does not get dark spikes
yuri is good. in my first run with him he was a trickster. i made him a dancer last run and with sword avoid nothing can hit him. i wanna try the war master crit build i heard about.
these screenshots are from my first run with the dlc characters
theyre good

there's a tendency i've noticed and grown more irritated by in online gay/trans spaces over the years (and i'd like to think it's largely attributable to very young and/or very newly out people but who knows), towards discomfort with and dismissal of any nonconformity and/or self-expressed fucky feeling about their own gender/sexuality from people who (at least publicly) ID as cishet. and that's usually expressed as a sort of friendly 'i didn't know they were gay'/'🥚'/etc that despite good intention is still a dismissal that amounts to claiming you somehow know the person better/more correctly than they themself do.
(and like even if you're 'right' and the person is closeted/just doesn't want to disclose specifics to you the presumption is still fucking rude and has the potential to make them further closeted! i've had similar experiences myself and they made me want to just never interact with the person in question again!)
like it seems to me somewhere in between not getting that it's inappropriate to decide/'headcanon' the identity of a real life person like a fictional character (e.g. weird idol/band fans and rpf people) and discomfort with sharing experiences with someone who IDs differently than you. probably depends on the instance and the person doing it. regardless it frustrates me

Your observation of the murals and your Calude//leth ramble in the tags are actually making me nostalgic for 3H and VW. It’s been a hot minute since I played (there are a lot of reasons for that) but now I want to replay the Golden Deer route in the year 2022.
(Needless to say, I’ll probably stay far away from Nopes.)
Nice! ngl I'm thinking about puttin' on another GD myself for old time's sake myself, maybe put a self-imposed challenge to spice things up a bit lol

I really love the X Files, but it does drive me crazy when Mulder is immediately convinced that a supernatural explanation is more likely than a very very likely natural explanation. There's being open to the possibilities, and then there's forgetting that the real world exists...
Like in Sanguinarium (4.6). Everything about that hospital is begging for accidental patient deaths. Surgeons going in and doing procedures solo? No time outs? Patients left alone in ORs, already sedated? Doors that would be really hard to get through without breaking scrub?
Mulder thinks witchcraft is more likely than "a doctor mistaking a beer belly for a bald head", when the vast majority of surgical harm comes from simple but egregious mistakes - wrong patient, wrong procedure, etc. He really thinks it's that unlikely that a surgeon could've walked into the wrong OR? The ORs are identical, the patient is already unconscious, there's nobody else in there, and there's clearly no protocol in place to confirm surgical details before surgery begins. That set up almost guarantees a mistake like that. Plus the doctor had addiction issues and possibly hadn't been sleeping?
In episodes like this, Mulder is just as much a skeptic as Scully, it's just that he's skeptical about basic reality. And it really irks me! I love the X Files episodes where normal reality just doesn't add up to an answer and Mulder is able to figure it out because he's open minded and notices something other people have overlooked or dismissed. But when he looks at a completely comprehensible normal set up, deduces an elaborate supernatural plot for no apparent reason (or some incredibly tenuous reason), and then is proved right? Ugh.
