Part 5 of making the retainers look like their lords!

Requests are open!

Everyone’s fave aunties <33

I was reading the page on Jill (path of Radiance), and read that she could (and often would) defect if the player sent her to face her father, and had an "oh yah that used to be a thing sometimes" moment.

That could have been intresting to see put into action in the Fates and Houses games. For Fates that could have added to Revelations in particular. Just picture Saizo or Kagero attacking Ryoma only for him to go "WTF are you doing? You are my retainers! It's your job to protect me." And they go "oh yah. That is our job." And imeadeatily defect, and only rejoin later when he does. Except, you know. More seriousness.

For Houses, there would probably be a lot of thought put into who would evoke which reaction from what character, but it would also be really intresting worldbuilding, for one set of characters to face off against each other and have teary goodbyes, but facing off a different friend has your character go "so long and thanks for all the gear" and defect. It could be prevented with the right supports, but with the amount of supports in the game being numerous the player initally has no idea why that went diffrently.

Kind of an intresting gameplay ballance, as the player can go around recruiting almost everyone, to give the opposition a chance to recruit their units back.

I would give Lord's a chance to recruit, and give Edelgard the most conditions needed to fulfill a rerecruitment (as she is the lord with the most reserve), and Dimitri and Claude I'm torn on. Claude is the one with the most supports, but Dimitri is good at inspiring personal loyalty. I'd probably say that there are recruitment conditions the lords need to fulfill first.

I'd love it to have -"a different enemy character must talk to them first"-before the recruitment attempt, but that makes it hard to have happen on subsequent playthroughs, as you can just recruit the prior class.

Felix is not recruitable by a Blue Lion if he kills his father or any of his friends (as by then he is locked into his negitive character arc).

It would probably have been really base breaking and inspired reset had it actually implamented, as players would hate their well trained units defecting and fighting them, as well as cause shipping discourse, but storywise could have been an intresting angle to explore.

Fortune favors them.

The second treat from Instagram, Pride Month Headcanons, with Fates this time! You can find Awakening and Three Houses here.

Please be kind and remember that it’s all in the name of celebration — it’s okay to not agree with my hcs (sometimes I might not, too — I fluctuate on some of these!), but be polite about it. There’s room for everyone in need under the rainbow. Thank you!

Here is my full painting for @feretainerzine which I was proud to be a part of ❤

I think the book itself is sold out, but you can still nab some lord+retainer merch in their store.

These weapons and skill descriptions are so long I can't properly fit them in one post with all 4 heroes smh

Late birthday Kagero edit! SO PROUD OF IT OMG! FINALLY got to make a metal mask that looks GOOD! And first edit with INSECT WINGS!? YES 👏🏻 PLEASE 👏🏻! The colors aren't necessarily vivid, but they still look great! I LOVE IT!

If requests are still open, could you do general sfw/nsfw for Kagero?

Kagero:

-Get you a gf who literally appears out of nowhere because she remembers she wanted to give you something earlier or forgot to mention something because she had a job to do. That's Kagero.

-"My apologies but I forgot to- why are you looking at me like that?" When her s/o is straight up like you scared the life out of me, she's very apologetic and tries to in future make her sudden appearances less jarring.

-She has on several occasions attempted to paint something nice for her s/o, but it always turns out horrific. One day she decides to show them all of the paintings regardless, only to be surprised by their appreciation despite how... abstract... the pieces look.

-Every date she's had with her s/o is documented in her diary, there's also future date plans in there because she'll see things while on jobs and think that she'd like to try it with her s/o.

-Kagero whose been away from her s/o for a long time returning late with a mission of her own, to get under her s/o’s clothes or to get her s/o under hers. And if her s/o jokes if she missed them, her answer is just yes. 

-Is an expert at quickies, although she only engages in them if she knows her and her s/o aren’t getting caught. She’s also good at making herself walk away looking like nothing happened, and will silently smirk to herself if her s/o isn’t as good at it. 

“A Working Relationship”

Fire Emblem Fates (FE14) | Kagero/Orochi, Ryoma/Saizo | E | 53k | cw: canon-typical violence, alcohol, minor homophobia

After the end of Saizo and Kagero’s relationship, where do two former lovers who are still sworn to guard the high prince stand now? Can the retainers set their past aside when they’re both placed on a critical assignment?
