thinking about how I saw someone say "I wish alcryst stayed badass like in his intro scene" and like.
idk how to tell u that i thought the appeal was this lil fella at odds with himself on every level. He is FIGHTING himself at every level at two extremes, almost literally tearing himself apart from it, self destructive as he tries to build something "worthy" of himself. He's capable of such devastating brutality in battle (high Dex trend making for good crit chances and the only unit in the game who can learn Luna) and unbelievable compassion in the same small vessel (a keen eye for details, his talent being finding the best in others) with a judgment hot as a glowing white knife and capable of forgiving as easily as it would bend should new information present itself.
He hates himself he loves his world he is idealistic and in awe of everything around him but also able to see the bitterness of reality not always being so kind. He feels he's worthless and yet plunges into any course with everything he has and only the slightest hesitation and a bold- perhaps at times concerning -recklessness and courage to send himself, a ranged fighter, straight to the front lines.
He actually loves people, despite his every attempt to stay out of their way and not take up too much space of his own. He presents as timid and with a worthless confidence and yet when you get down to it or threaten his loved ones his spine is forged from steel and will not yield until the threat has passed. He is passionate and emotional, quiet and thoughtful. He aspires to be a strategist. He loves reading fairy tales.
Alcryst is a storm of a person, forever at war with who he wants to be. The whole appeal in is his wildly different sides u fool.

Hi! Do you think you could do Diamant x reader headcanons? Maybe what being married to the crown Prince is like? Thank you for your time!
Of course! Thank you for your request! Hope I did him justice!

His Queen
-Diamant is a proud ruler, and even though he’s married to you now, he has trouble allowing you to take on some of the burdens of his kingdom.
-You know he works so hard to keep Brodia thriving. He wants to make his father proud, and make Brodia an even better kingdom than his father left it, but doing so can take quite a toll on him.
-From board meetings, to peace councils, its all a lot for one King, but he refuses to let you lift a pretty finger in any share of the work, less you get hurt.
-“It’s a feast, not a battle field I’ll be fine. This kingdom is my responsibility now too, Diamant. Otherwise I wouldn’t be the Queen. I just think you’re overworking yourself as of late. Maybe it’s time for a break.” You would say. Diamant would sigh and look into your eyes. Finally relenting that maybe you’re right, and that you’re more capable to pick up some more work around the kingdom.
-Following that discussion he would allow you to take on more responsibilities around Brodia . Only a little at a time though, he still doesn’t want to burden you with his job no matter how much you insist on it being alright.
-Diamant is a really sweet and loving husband, all things considered. He despises not being able to be around you every second of the day, and makes sure to send you lots of flowers, jewelry, and other small trinkets to remind you he’s always thinking of you even when he’s not there.
-When he’s feeling especially sentimental (Or bored at certain kingly affairs) He’ll often quietly slip the ring you gave him out of his concealed pocket, absently fidgeting with the precious band as his thoughts drift to those of you. Your smell, your laugh, your eyes. He really cant get enough.
-When you first started courting, he began to train even harder in order to be able to protect you better, and that worry only expanded when you got married. Often you’ll have to turn away security guards Diamant has sent to protect you when he’s not around. While this habit of his is slightly annoying, you know it comes from a place of love and try not to let it bother you too much.
-Nights with Diamant can be wondrous yet also difficult. After long days of not being able to see each other he loves to hold onto you and simply be in your presence as you recount the events of your day. He loves listening to the sound of your voice and claims it’s the only thing that can get him to sleep.
-Speaking of sleep, it is not uncommon for Diamant to have restless nights. You’ll often awake to an empty bed only to find Diamant on the balcony. Silent tears rolling down his face.
-Trying to get him to speak on his feelings would prove difficult. He’ll assure you that he’s fine, even though you can still see the traces of his tears on his otherwise flawless features. With enough coaxing and ensuring that it’s okay to not be okay, he’ll finally open up to you.
-He’ll express his worry for his brother, who had to kill their father all because Diamant couldn’t muster up the courage. His guilt for not being strong enough when the time came to be. He worries about how it affected Alcryst. As well as fearing he’s not cut out for running a kingdom when his own little brother had to take charge because of his hesitation. He worries the same will happen to you, and he won’t be able to save you. He says that he’s a coward not fit to rule.
-You immediately take to hugging your distressed husband, previous annoyances with his overprotective habits dissipating as you realize he was just scared. Tears of your own roll down your cheeks, as you console and reassure your husband that he’s an incredible ruler, and an even better husband. You say that fear isn’t a bad thing, and that its a normal thing everyone experiences. You acknowledge that Alcryst was the one to step up when things got bad, but that doesn’t make Diamant weak, having to kill a parent is a task no one wants to do. You say if it continues to bother him, he should speak with Alcryst himself. You’re sure that Alcryst would appreciate it since he looks up to Diamant so much.
-You explain to Diamant that he is a great ruler, and his subjects love him as well as you. Diamant thanks you for your kind words and embraces you. He apologizes for causing you distress, but you make him shut up those self-deprecating comments with a kiss, and say he never has to apologize for having emotions.
-Coaxing Diamant back into bed, he has one of the most peaceful nights sleep in a long time with his queen by his side.

Translation of Fire Emblem Engage's Soundtrack's Short Story
Short Story
A Feast for the Anniversary of the Coronation 
Early in the morning a feast was made with ingredients from all over Elyso. It is almost ready. There are spoilers of the  main game’s storyline. Please enjoy after clearing the main game. 
Veyle: Welcome back!
Fogado: Bunet is in command of the kitchen, so Solm's very own Prince gets to be in charge of tasting the food. Alcryst, since we're best friends you can also help, right?.
Alcryst: Well, my best friend…! I still can't get used to the sound of that, but yeah, I'll take the time to… I'll choose an unreasonable dish only I can eat. 
Vander: We have been waiting for you Divine One.
Alear: Veyle, Vander; Thank you for making the celebration happen.
Today the Somniel has a different atmosphere. There are decorations everywhere. 
Celine: The smell of the food is making me hungry. Princess Hortensia was right in front of me and I started to imagine that her cute belly was delicious pork.
It's been one year since Alear's coronation ceremony. All of their allies who fought in the war, as well as the Royal families, are in attendance.
Hortensia: Hey, it is forbidden to poke me there! If you think my skin looks delicious, it is nothing compared to yours.
Veyle: Here! Here! Everything is in Cafe Terrace!
Sommie: Yip! Yip!
Alear: Veyle, please don't pull me! Aha, Sommie is having fun too. 
Timerra: Here we come Divine One!
Framme: Awww, Sommie, you're so precious! You're so precious!
Alfred: Sommie runs like a rock.
Ivy: I have missed you Divine One. 
Clanne: Now that the fighting is over, we, the 33rd Stewards of the Dragon, have moved to the Holy Land of Lythos with the Divine One and Lady Veyle. This place is nostalgic, so let's do this!
Diamant:It is great that you are doing well Divine One.
Alear: Clanne, Framme, Thank you for all you have done today. Everyone…! It's been a long time since we've been together like this.
Framme: Oh my god! It is an honour to be called by name on the Somniel.
Timerra: We used to talk until we were ready for battle. I remember that we all are here. If I remember correctly, I had dinner with Alfred and then camped out!.
Clanne: It's been a long time since I've had the chance to fall flat! But if I see Vander here, I will have to go to work. I will leave the humour for later, so please excuse me.
Alfred: See you later Divine One. That was fun! We talked with everyone and deepened our relationships. This also reflects the relationship between countries after the war. It's very emotional when you think about it.
Ivy: There was talk about Brodia and Elusia establishing a trade route in the future. Now that I think about it, it was here in the Somniel where talks began, Prince Diamant… no, King Diamant?
Vander: Good, Clanne returned to his post immediately. Well, it seems like those two are taking their roles seriously and are becoming full fledged stewards. Maybe it is time for me to appoint them as guardians, hand over my dutues, and retire.
Diamant: We're not used to calling each other by our titles, Queen Ivy.
Ivy: We have only just ascended to the throne and there is a lot of work for both of us to do, but that promise we made will come true someday, for the same of both of our countries.
Vander: I am talking to myself. I am going to check the kitchen.
Veyle: Is Vander going to retire? When he does, you will still have me. Would you like me to stay at the Somniel even after everyone's gone back to their countries? I could stay and manage things
Alear: Thank you Veyle, I am grateful that you are staying to take care of things, but are there any inconveniences with that? If you get lonely don't hesitate to join us in Lythos.
Veyle: Thank you but don't worry, Mauvier will be with me, and Sommie can help me. I have the future to think about. There is so much I want to do. I want to travel and help people. Also…I am wondering if it is okay for me to return to Gradlon. 
Alear: To Gradlon? 
Alear: It is like the Somniel in the good old days. I want to show the Emblem Rings as well.
Veyle: Is that the ring of the Hero King?
Alear: Has Vander gone? Don't tell him, I should have kept the ring in the vault, but I have been with Marth for so long. 
Veyle: Is that why you were holding it? I would be afraid that I would drop it if I held it. 
Alear: Next time I will make something to keep it in, I am good with my hands.
Veyle: I keep thinking about Gradlon being called a cursed place, but the place itself is not guilty. I wish the land could be reborn as a place filled with greenery.
Clanne: Excuse me, Divine One. The feast is ready.
Framme: Please go and say hi to everyone!
Alear: That is Veyle's new dream.
Veyle: My new dream? Maybe you are right. I wonder if that is possible?
All the familiar faces are gathered together but something is missing. It feels lonely…
Alear: Yes, I am sure you can make it come true because you made your first dream come true. You became a dragon that saved the world.
Celine: There is something missing. Perhaps it is the music.
Fogado: Those words make me very happy. After all, there's always music at a party! Yay! Divine Dragon, I'll ask you like before.
Timerra: Look! Look! Divine One, Veyle, Jean brought us some rare fruit and vegetables. Saphira caught a big fish in the pond too. I wonder if I could cook it in time?
Diamant: I am feeling nostalgic.
Alear: Which song should we play? All of them are so memorable that I get lost.
Hortensia: Just play them all. We have plenty of time to enjoy them. Even then we were fighting, Divine One many to obtain fresh ingredients.
Alfred: Today we all fought over who would be in charge of eating. Speaking of being in charge, someone was always in charge of waking up the Divine One. I would run up the stairs and open that door.
Ivy: I wonder how other people woke up the Divine One? When Yunaka was on duty, I heard the sounds of birds, and when Linden was on duty, I heard explosions. I thought it was terrifying at the time…
Veyle: I woke him up normally…? 
That's right, I was at Anna's and heard that the owners were opening up. Seadall was also thinking about opening the fortune telling hut.
Alcryst: The food is coming. I am feeling strangely excited. I'm sorry.
Alear: Let's start with my favourite song.
Vander: I understand, let me start the music.
The music started to play. 
Alear: Somewhere the Emblems can hear this music. Let us toast to the days where we laughed, cried, shared opinions and ran together. Until we meet again, please remember me, forever. I will remember you. It is a promise. Now let us celebrate and pray for eternal peace in the whole of Elyso. 
If you are not from Japan, the Soundtrack can be purchased from amiami and playasia. If you know any other sites, please let me know.

[ 𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭 ] : ( dia's like 16 here hee hoo )
Knuckles sting as Diamant draws his fist back, watching as the nobleman on the ground scrambles back, shuffling desperately along the floor. The man's attendants are quick to rush to his side, ushering him back to his feet as he clutches his bloodied jaw and blusters. Shouting of broken agreements and void business deals, interspersed through threats of how the king will hear of this!!... such brutish behavior from Morion's PRIDE and joy.
But Diamant can only think of one thing—Alcryst, and the insults he'd taken from this man. To be called weak. To even insinuate that he was not father's son, that mother would have somehow stepped out on her husband...
Diamant has to stop himself from striking the man again. He had enough to explain already.
Prince reaches out to place a hand to his brother's head, pausing when he finally registers the blood staining his white gloves. Crimson eyes close for a moment. That hand is retracted, and the other rests upon cobalt locks instead.
"Hey," Diamant says softly to the boy, "Don't pay attention to that—it's all hot air. You are the son of Morion. You are Mother's heart, and my brother. You are our family, and a prince of Brodia. Don't let anyone make you feel otherwise."
A shocked Alcryst screams in terror. The nobleman spits and bleeds, eyes wild with anger. The young prince finds himself frozen in place. His legs won't move at all. For a moment, he fears he's going to get throttled.
The atmosphere had already been tense with the nobleman's cruel words. Strange words, not quite mean but not very kind either, now turn into shouting and threats. It's a fight among giants, between his big brother and grown men, all towering over Alcryst. All he can do is avoid getting trampled in the fray. So he shrinks back, cowering behind Diamant and trying not to whimper as he cries.
Alcryst doesn't dare speak. It would be bad to draw attention to himself right now. It's his fault that this is happening in the first place, isn't it?
Diamant places a hand on his head. Alcryst can't help but flinch in fear. He's never seen this side of Diamant before. His kind, gentle brother who has never raised a hand at him or anyone else, becomes unpredictable. Will Diamant turn his anger towards Alcryst now? It's his fault this is happening, after all.
His brother tries to comfort him with soft words. But try as Alcryst might, he's too frazzled to understand. Mother is Mother. Father is Father. Diamant is his brother. They are a family, and Alcryst never questioned it before. For that nobleman to act like it's a lie... for Diamant to react so scarily... everything Alcryst has ever known suddenly seems uncertain.
"But he said other people believe it, too!" Alcryst protests in between hiccups. The more he thinks about it, the more worried he gets, and the more he cries. "I know I'm weak... If I get stronger, can Dad still be my dad?"

Have you ever had the reflex of wanting to take the Engage's cast defense when people said "they are such simple characters, there is nothing behind their gimmicks" ? or when you hear "we had to wait for a whole DLC to have ACTUAL decent characters !"
Because I need to say it. Yes the DLC characters are excellent character but the game already had literal gems in it, but because of spoilers, see under the cut
Alfred is a friendly guy that spend his day obsessed with training and muscles because he wants to be stronger and help his friend. He is presented in many of his support as helpful to a fault, trying so hard to be useful to his friends he ends up comming off as clumsy like in his support with Alear, he acts first and thinks after also because of this. He is so willing to help people he was willing to dig a well for villagers. The A support he has with Céline reveals this is a complex comming from Alfred suffering from a chronic illness but rather then lamenting himself on his weak body, he tried to look for ways to become stonger physically so he can help people because as the crown Prince of Firene he wants to be useful to his country and to others and general and not be seen as a burden, even if it leads him to be reckless. I see people complaining that it's only in his support with Céline that this pop up and that he should speak about it more... when in the literal supports Alfred explained he wants nobody to know about his condition and don't like to speak about his illness because he doesn't want to be looked at with pity by people but to appear as a strong, bright and confident guy.That's why he only brought that up in his support with Céline, his sister who knew him and was here when he was so ill that people though he was going to die, his support with Rafal because of how similar those two are
and his brought up by another handful of Céline support which makes sense that she would talk about how worried she is about her brother rather then have the one guy that says in his support he hates talking about his illness brough it 99% of the time. Alfred is a mentally strong guy that tries to overcome a deadly illness to become as physically strong as he is mentally hence him thinking that "barbarian" is a compliment and Céline ending up using it herself as a compliment at the end of their A support, all his support shows him to be the friendly guy that tries his best to become stronger, his obssession with muscle comes from his weak constitution and him not realizing he is already very strong, albeit mentally, but also to make up for the weak body he had been given.
Diamant is a brave young man, and despite his love for his country, his patriotism doesn't blind him to the reality that Brodia's wealth comes at the cost of many lives and wishes to oppose the nobility and even go as far as going against his father because he wished Brodia could live in his peace with his neighbour and because of the terrible impact it has on both Brodia and Elusia, sacrificing many lives to gain profit. He does his best to be seen as flawless but he really is just a human being that can sing, his scared of caterpillars and has been traumatized by fire magic, a fear he tries to overcome in his objective to become stronger to protect his country.
Alcryst is a young man with severe self acceptance issue and a low opinion of himself because of the Brodian court constantly comparing him to his brother, which he ended up interiorizing and no matter how supportive his surrounding is, he can't help but feel like he doesn't deserves it, making him feel even more negative about himself. This is evident in front of people he admire, his support with Fogado makes it clear : Fogado is everything Alcryst wished he could be, therefore it makes him feel like he is a kettle, much like how he feels towars Diamant, and that's because he admires Fogado this much he feels like he doesn't deserves a friend like him. However, he is perfectly capable of overcoming his apolegetic nature when necessary. He is incredibly protective, we met him having accepted to protect the border of his country, fighting bandits, theives and animal threatening it, he isn't afraid to fight when it means protecting others, when we fight Hortensia, he offers Lapis, and Citrinne, his retainer to protect them with an impressive assurance, he is the one reassuring Citrinne and telling her to trust in her own capacity, he loves his brother so much that when fighting the other Diamant he completely forgot the Diamant he is fighting isn't his brother, but a double assuring him that he would never hurt him and being so perturbed about it it was painfully, especially considering that if he fight King Morion, he ends up putting his feelings aside and said that he would be the one killing it just to preserved Diamant's consience from the guilt of ending his father, even though he was shown minutes ago to be so devastated to have seen him in the Corrupted state he begged Alear to stay, saying he refused to abandonn him, and being so perturbed about it he blammed it on Ivy and refused to forgive her until she properly apologized to him in their C support and he saw she was being sincere about it.
Hortensia is obsessed with cuteness because she admires her mother, whom Ivy described as a strong woman shining by her beauty, thinking that it was what made her mother so loved, but she is also a very clever girl to the point that in Elusia's academy she was at the head of her class. Both sister were the only children of concubines to grew close due to Ivy's mother ending up befriending Hortensia's even though she at first caused her to cry many times since concubines were all fighting against each other. Ivy ended up taking the Divine dragon as deity rather the Sombron because of her disagreement of Elusian court's behaviour, the rituals and because she felt closer to the Divine Dragon's value, and despite comming across as cold, she is actually a very kind person who loves her sister dearly, and her country too, and she is forced to abandon it to Sombron and the Hounds. It's Hortensia's love for her father and her country that got her to cooperate with them at first before realizing she couldn't save her precious country in this way and that ressurection or not, she had to give up on her father.
Framme out of all people starts to be introduced as Alear's fangirl but the following of her support makes it clear that it's because Alear and Lumera were always a source of inspiration and hope for her, that her faith helped her during the hard times or when she missed her parents. Her support with Diamant showed that she is such a sensitive soul that she wanted to abandonned her history lesson because it scare the sheet out of her to learn about all those awful conflicts that made the continent tremble.
Citrinne is a noblewoman that is the Brodian royal's cousin and is rather used to luxury, having the habits to use incredibly pricy gift to link with other because of how Brodian's court works, but she was sent as Alcryst's retainer because she is from a noble family, close to the Royal one at that and that the nobility needed her as a bridge to communicate and watch over Diamant by Alcryst's side since Diamant already had 2 retainers, which causes her to have an inferiority complex and underestimate her own capacity since she believe she was choosen for no other reason then her rank.
And those are just example, I'd keep up the list but you'all need to read their support, there is more to those character then just their gimmick and they aren't just simple characters. And it's not limited to the Xenologue cast. You just decided that their support weren't interesting enough because unlike the game whose name shall not be prounonced, because they don't spend 99% of their support infodumping you about their trauma or past to the point of sounding convoluted * points at Yuribird* they use their support to expend on their character as is now and rarely brough up their past, and while for some it's justified like Alfred, for others it's indeed a pity, but all of their supports matters as a stone to characterization and while some have less chemistry with their support partner then others, it doesn't shy away from this fact.
Also NO Céline isn"t just obsessed by tea. Tea time is a thing she genuinely enjoys because she is a refined young lady due to her wanting to help her brother and sounding mature, scolding him for being too reclkless because she is worried about him, making a secret alliance with Alcryst because both of them wants to protect and help their brother whom they love very much during their life time, and she is very protective of Firene, wishing that she could stop brigands and thieves from attacking it, even if it means resorting to extreme measures, but she is still pretty much a pacifist as indicated by her interactions with her counterpart in the other world and isn't as egoist as this one version of Céline.
Just because a character isn't traumatized or don't brag 99% of the time about it doesn't mean they are simple or have nothing beyond them past gimicks, and reducing their character to the few support they are willing to talk about the past they are trying to overcome when the entirety of their support is about establishing their characters is beyond the pale.

i don’t think diamant and alfred’s a-support is particularly out of character // literally no one asked
pardon for the typos and occasional salty tone; i really don’t have the energy to sift through every single line diamant says at 330 am, but i needed to get this out of my head because people in general seem to misunderstand why diamant says what he does and what his genuine intent is/could be and i think it deserves some expansion upon. thoughts under the cut:
i actually wanna start in their b-support because i think that adds some important context.
diamant: It's funny... I never thought I'd end up crossing swords with a rival prince outside of a battlefield. [...] It's nice to think that the two of us will come out of this war as friends. alfred: Hate to break it to you, but I'm not so sure that's possible. Things won't always be like this. diamant: They won't? alfred: Afraid not. By the time the war's over...we'll be even better buddies! diamant: Haha! I like the way you think, Prince Alfred.
i think it’s very important to note alfred’s response here. i don’t think he’s a stupid as fans tend to think he is. sure, he can be an airhead, and is definitely a muscle-focused brute, but he’s just as much the crown prince as diamant is. i see a lot of people, in general, downplaying how he actually behaves in game for the “cute uwu sunshine flower boi“ trope (this is a post for another time). “i’m not so sure [we’ll still be friends post-war] is possible“ is such a grounded in reality line. alfred is thinking forward to the future- a future where brodia and firene don’t consider each other allies. it’s possible he was alluding to his illness, as well, saying that “i will die before we truly consider each other best friends“ (this is another post for another time).
of course, he can see diamant’s concern, and recovers rather quickly.
to that end: we know that diamant is much more fragile than he really lets on. it’s emphasised throughout the game. there are so many examples of this textually- explicitly, even!- that are very obvious in his character traits.
diamant, to leif in their a-rank bond: The truth is, I’m not as confident as I may seem. I’ve never told anyone that─not even Alcryst. 
diamant, to ike in their a-rank bond: Improving my kingdom, surpassing my father as king… I’m not sure I can actually do all of that. 
diamant and lucina’s a-rank bond conversation quite literally outlines the anxiety he has in regard to his kingdom’s welfare:
diamant: If Brodia’s remaining forces fall, the kingdom could be destroyed. I can’t bear that thought. lucina: I know how hard it is to leave soldiers behind. For their sake, we must claim a swift victory. Brodia will not fall into ruin, Diamant. Never will you suffer the same anguish that I did. diamant: Thank you, Lucina. That’s reassuring. You may never claim a throne…but you are a great leader.
and that’s not even every single instance in his bond conversations with the emblems, or in his supports.
and... wait... doesn’t that remind you of something?
alcryst, in his c-support with diamant: I can't offer an even match—my skills pale in comparison to yours—but I'll learn what I can. How am I supposed to win against the prince of Brodia? Yes, I am a Brodian prince, but I'm not THE Brodian prince. I'm not you, Diamant.
gee, it’s almost as though the anxiety runs in the family.
but what does this have to do with his a-support with alfred?
well, if there’s one thing that seems to set his anxiety off (aside from his perceived perfection, which is a topic i’ve already covered enough as it is already), it’s the potential of war between the different countries of elyos, and how that directly conflicts with his moral statement on how war is bad and only profits those in power. he can’t help but harp on about it every chance he gets:
framme: Prince Diamant… You said you wanted to bring peace to the world, but… Is that really true? Then why does Brodia keep attacking Elusia? I read the histories of both kingdoms. There are helpless citizens in Elusia that fear Brodia. When you talk about ending war, do you really mean conquering Elusia? Is that peace? diamant: Brodia…is a kingdom of warriors. It does have a regrettable history of seizing territory by force. And it is true that some people in Elusia have been hurt by─and have grown to hate─Brodia. That’s an undeniable part of my kingdom’s past, but I won’t let it be part of our future. It may not be easy, but I mean what I say. There will be change.
timerra: Hey, between you and me…do you think peace is really possible? diamant: Ah. That’s a big question…and one I often worry about myself. Ultimately, as leaders, I think it’s our duty to believe that peace is possible. If we won’t fight to secure that kind of future for our people, who will? 
diamant: Brodia has a lot to answer for. Offering a token like that gem is the least I can do. ivy: It's true. Brodia has invaded our lands many times. I often wonder how my people would have fared without that suffering and bloodshed. diamant: My father was focused on our kingdom's affairs when he began expanding our territory by force. That singular focus is how things have always been done in Brodia...but that needs to change. My father is no longer here, but his influence remains. Change will take time. If there's an easier way, I haven't found it yet.
and so on.
okay, so why does he worry about breaking the non-aggression pact in the first place if he’s so adamant about keeping peace between the countries of elyos?? his support reads:
diamant: As you know, the kingdom of Brodia prioritizes military might above all else. Our kingdom is home to many ambitious people. That might explain those priorities. Our culture also teaches that it's honorable to gain things by force. Thanks to Queen Ève, our two kingdoms have signed a nonaggression pact. However... alfred: You're saying you can't promise it'll last. diamant: That’s right. alfred: What do you think will happen? diamant: I have my own hopes, but I won't just force them upon my kingdom. The will of my people must come first. I have to fight for whatever future serves them best. 
so what’s the big deal? he practically says “hey, uh, yeah, about that non-aggression pact... sorry, but we can’t promise we won’t try to attack you in the future“
but i ask for you, dear reader, who’s gotten this far, to turn your attention to his and citrinne’s support chain.
citrinne: [the nobles are] eager for a response. I've been sent here to ask you directly about your stance on future military campaigns. These nobles are acquaintances of my family. As a noble myself, I can't ignore their demands. diamant: ... [diamant’s textbox pauses here before continuing to the following text] War is profitable. The nobility is expecting to line their pockets for years to come. I, on the other hand, do not intend to wage any wars during my reign as king. citrinne: I'm so glad to hear that. The nobles won't like it, but you can leave them to me.
this ends up getting diamant (and citrinne) into hot water in their b-support:
citrinne: The nobles did not care for your response. I must be cautious in my exchanges with you. Rumors are quickly spreading that my family has been colluding with Brodia’s future king. 
naturally, this gets all nice and wrapped up in a cute little bow in their a-support:
diamant: Don’t panic. I didn’t mention you at all. I made it clear that I won’t wage any wars, but will prioritize a prosperous future for Brodia. That should put a stop to the rumors, right? No more whispers of collusion.
now, i know the focus here is on the accusation of collusion citrinne has levied at her, but i think it’s important to note that the nobles did not care for diamant’s response. furthermore, his end note explicitly discusses how the nobles dis not like diamant’s plan for brodia for the future:
As the new king of Brodia, Diamant ordered a halt to all invasions and worked to reform his people's attitudes on Elusia. Some nobles resisted Diamant at first, but his vision for the future earned their favor. By exporting ore, Brodia was able to shift to a booming, trade-based economy.
let me emphasise this: the nobility does NOT like diamant. at the very least, not at first. he even says how he regrets having to lean on the nobility for financial support... but unfortunately, he will have to burn that bridge when he gets there in terms of dealing with having this held over his own head as brodia’s crown prince.
diamant, to alfred in their c-support: I was drafting requests for funding to send to Brodia's nobles. Our military needs support. Any loans will be used as political leverage in the future. I'm worried...but out of options. 
through this series of textual evidence, we are presented with two facts:
diamant is just as anxious as alcryst about his rule as king and how he envisions fostering peace as his father’s son (he’s just much more apt at hiding it than alcryst).
the nobility does not like him, in spite of his status as crown prince.
so, inevitably, when alfred steps wrong as says “yeah... we’re not gonna be best friends forever“, diamant is very prone to going into overdrive and overthinking this singular sentence... which snowballs into “i don’t think brodia will honour the non-aggression pact“.
diamant’s thoughts and worries about if he will actually be able to lead brodia into a peaceful future- profitable for his country, without relying upon being aggressive in war- quickly spiral out of control because, even if he knows logically it is not true, it doesn’t mean that he recognises it emotionally. alfred tries to reassure him, and it works, actually! it works by breaking him out of that spiral and reminds him that “not everyone wants war, and there will be plenty of opportunities to be loved by your people in peace times, too.“
alfred: I understand. I'm in the same tight spot. That said, everything'll be fine. You've got nothing to worry about. diamant: How can you be sure? alfred: Well, I mean... Everyone from Brodia seems so nice. I can't speak for the whole kingdom, but all the Brodians I've met were nice enough. I don't think they'd want a war over nothing. I think things are gonna work out. I trust the good folks of Brodia that way. diamant: You trust in the goodwill of others? Even the citizens of neighboring kingdoms? alfred: People are people, no matter where they're from. Is trusting in them so bad? diamant: Haha. No, it's not bad at all. In fact, trust might be the most important quality for a leader to have.
"people" can mean "the common people", but given how diamant struggles with the noble court... he likely means the nobles that want to use his need for funding as leverage against him, who want to pit him and citrinne against each others, who don't share his profitable future without war.
alfred can recognise that diamant is having a tough time worrying over his status as prince- about if he'll be liked, if he will rule well, if anything fleeting will ever last- because he understands him as a crown prince to another crown prince. they may not have the same exact struggle, but alfred intimately knows the impermanence of promises, legally binding or otherwise (this is a post for another time).
this is not out of character in the slightest, for either of them. this is a layered interaction exploring the exact minutiae of how both of them perceive the world: one through fleeting impermanence and acceptance, and the other through anxiety and sheer stubbornness,

Ghuhhh Alcryst brainrotter here again ur bio says nsfw on the blog but ur pinned post didn't specify anything so uhhhuhhhh can I get uhhhh Alcryst nsfw headcanons IF NOT THAT'S OKAY SORRY FOR BEING AWKWARD LMAO *disintegrates*
Its okay! Alcryst is so fire. I am happy to write for him. This is post-war obviously so he is an adult.
NSFW Warning
-Alcryst is constantly surprised that you would want him sexually. He feels inadequate, inexperienced, and idiotic whenever he tries to initiate anything. It doesn't help that when he wants you, he gets extreamly bashful.
-Whenever you are focused on pleasuring him, he begs you to switch places.
"It should be m-me, helping you, my love. You shouldn't waste so much of your energy on me."
-As a Brodian prince, he has a decent amount of stamina for multiple rounds. However, he doesn't really have the experience to keep himself from coming as soon as he gets close.
-He'd be apologizing profusely as soon as he cums on your hand after only a few good pumps or on your chest if you are fucking/pegging him.
-If he is inside you, he is able to hold himself back a bit better due to his feelings of inadequacy ruling his brain. He tells himself, 'who would ever want his cum inside of him.' Him edging himself unknowingly means that he gets very in the zone. That's when you can hear him moan the most unabashedly.
-He would rather be degraded than praised even in bed. Praise makes him feel worse and takes him out of the mood for the most part. In fact, it would feel better to him if you just ordered him around the whole time like he was just meant for your pleasure. It keeps him out of his head if you're the one thinking for him.
-As he becomes more experienced, he is more open to expressing his boundaries. He might think that he is okay with everything as long as you want it, but that obviously isn't true. For example, he likes to be tied up, but he doesn't like seeing you that way.
-His dirtiest desire would be for you to roleplay being Diamant's lover that he is stealing away. He would NEVER admit it to anyone and would deny it if you ever brough it up. However, if you came up with the idea yourself then maybe it might happen~

Alcryst is so precious, I wanna squeeze him like a squeaky toy. Would it be possible to do the morning after for him?
(Absolutely we can Q ___ Q )
Ever since he decided to be brave, Alcryst had only seen wonderful improvements in his life. He Dever before, and he was able to forge stronger, more open and honest relationships with so many of his friends.
Best of all, though, it saw the arrival of peace in the four kingdoms. With that peace meant a beautiful, elegant and boisterous wedding that was full of joy and color. 
The event rang in the union of the second prince and his beloved, the Divine Dragon Alear. It was truly a moment for the ages, a week-long celebration that was one for the history books.
The six days leading up to the wedding were wonderful, each day more memorable than the last. 
But none were perhaps as important to Alcryst than the wedding day. Exchanging vows with you, and promising yourselves to one another. And your first night together was just…a beautiful blur.
Alcryst was the first one to wake up, staring up at the canopy that drifted lazily in the morning breeze, like he was in a living dream. He breathed softly and deeply, taking in the scent, the sounds, and the sensations. He had never been so happy in his life.
There was a deep sigh next to him, suddenly reminding him of the tender warmth radiating beside him. Alcryst looked over to where his wife slept peacefully beside him.
His heart skipped about three beats; his wife was sleeping next to him.
The youngest prince of brodia had married the Divine Dragon. It was too good to be true, and yet here you were, snuggled up beside him and sleeping without a care in the world.
A lopsided smile lifted the corners of his mouth. He reached out, cautiously, running his fingers along your cheek. You were so soft, and so veyr warm. 
There was surely nothing better than what he was feeling. His fingers slipped away, tucking a strand of vibrant blue hair behind your ear. 
He would have gone for another strand, had his hand not been caught by yours. 
Alcryst gasped, startled by the undetected motion. You inhaled deeply before your eyes slowly opened, revealing eyes that sparkled like sapphires and rubies. 
“Good morning, my love.”
Your morning voice sent shivers down his spine. He was sure his face flushed the second you spoke. 
“G-good…good morning, Alear.” He managed to eek out a reply, earning a sleepy smile. You leaned in closer to him, so that you might lean up and kiss him softly on the lips.
As if he wasn’t already flushed and rosy.
“How are you feeling?” You asked in a gentle and tender voice, which he knew he could easily get drunk on. 
“I feel…I feel great. Last night…yesterday, I mean, all of it…it was wonderful.” He said, sounding just as breathless as he did when he spoke his vows.
You were beaming at him, the joy illuminating your entire face.
“Did you…did you have a good time, too?”
“Of course I did.” You giggled, “You were wonderful. And such an attentive communicator, too.” 
“C-come on!”
“I’m just teasing.” Your fingers brushed along his ear, quite proud of your ability to change colors. “I’m just so happy that I get to wake up beside you every morning…that I finally get to have you in my life when things aren’t hinging on the end of the world.”
“It’ll certainly be a nice change of pace…” He hummed, letting you pull him to your chest. Alcryst was happily the little spoon, burying his face in your warmth and wrapping his arms around you. You squeezed him close, reveling in the tender joy that filled the Divine Dragon’s quarters.
“How long do you think we’ll have until someone sends for us?” You broke the silence once again, “I doubt they’d let us stay up here alone for very long.”
“It’s the day after our wedding, Alear. I don’t think there’s anyone brave enough to try.” He whispered back, relaxing against the sound of your heartbeat.
He did have a good point, you figured, relenting your worries and snuggling in with your dear new husband. Alcryst was limber and toned, and his frame was deceiving. He certainly wasn’t as broad as his brother or father, but he had a lovely body…and certainly one that you were happy to keep your arms around.
To be fair, though, everything about him was lovely.
The fawning would have continued longer, but about half an hour later you were greeted to Diamant boisterously knocking on the door and asking when you two “lazy bones” were going to get out of bed and train with him.
Mercifully, someone dragged him away from the doors before you had slunk out of bed and thrown on some clothes.
You took the opportunity to snuggle back in with your husband…who now needed additional comfort to recover from the embarrassment of Diamant almost barging in on you both naked.
It was the start of an interesting life.

Can I request Day 6 Augtickletober2023 (chase) with ler!Diamant and Lee!Alcryst please? Luv the brother bois ❤️💙
To Chase the Gloom Away
Author’s note: *Runs up and tackles you with a big hug into a pile of pillows!* Anon!!! Thank you for requesting Engage content and the Brodian bois on top of it! I hope you enjoy Day 6 of Tickletober: Chase! (From August’s Tickletober 2023 list)!
Tumblr media
Series: Fire Emblem Engage
Characters: Diamant and Alcryst
Word count: 700
Summary: Alcryst thinks that his presence is negatively affecting animals, so Diamant chases his brother down with a plan to help change that.
Alcryst needs to run.
The younger prince knows that look on his brother’s face anywhere when Diamant can earn a silly reaction out of Alcryst due to a poke to his side. Before the poke, Alcryst was worried that the animals they were taking care of in the farmyard together could feel his negative energy emanating from his presence. This resulted in Diamant taking it upon himself to remedy that, hence the poke.
And now, instead of just thinking about running, Alcryst needs to actually run. 
Diamant reaches out to grab him, but Alcryst bolts before he can get the chance. Alcryst didn’t expect that he would be involved in a chase today, let alone running like a rabbit for safety from a big brother wolf hunting him down.
The younger prince books it out of the farmyard and onto the Somniel’s trail. He races past the records hall. Diamant begins closing the gap, quickly, like a speeding bull.
Alcryst looks over his shoulder and sees Diamant closing in. He takes a sharp right towards the front of the stables, his boots skidding through the dirt as he tries to escape, but…
“GAH!” Alcryst screams as Diamant throws his arms around him, completely stopping him in his tracks. The momentum happens so suddenly that Alcryst’s legs are lifted off the floor before they land back on the dirt. Alcryst frantically squirms, trying to free his arms trapped at his sides and his body currently squeezed in a bear hug.
“D-Diamant! Wait!” Alcryst pleads over his shoulder.
“Sorry baby brother,” Diamant says with a grin. With that, Diamant scribbles his fingers into Alcryst’s sides. The younger prince immediately jolts with laughter, wildly squirms, and tries tugging himself away in an attempt to escape Diamant’s hug.
“Dihihiamahahant! Quhihihit it!” Alcryst bends forward. With another tug, the younger prince collapses into the dirt. He rolls over onto his back, unfortunately allowing his big brother to leap at him from above and ambush his sides.
Alcryst sputters out another yelp, followed by a rush of giggles. Alcryst curls himself into a ball and teeters from one side to the other as he tries to shake Diamant’s fingers from reaching his ticklish spots, but Diamant gives another squeeze to Alcryst’s unguarded sides, making his younger brother squeak like a baby bird.
“See, I knew this would work,” Diamant smiles and wrestles his flailing brother down to worm his fingers into his underarms. “You’re happier already!” 
The horses in the stables beside them neigh with sounds of delight as they are spectators of the scene, almost like they’re laughing along with Alcryst. Diamant notices this, then glances down at his giggling brother. “Hear that, Alcryst? The horses are happy too. Proof that your presence isn’t bringing them down.”
“Buhuhuhut that’s because you’re tihhihickling mehehehe!” Alcryst argues through his giddy laughter.
Diamant chuckles. “First of all, I think the animals would enjoy being around you whether I was tickling you or not. Secondly, can you blame me?” Diamant smirks as if his own smile will add on to Alcryst’s cheer up process, “I have to encourage my baby brother to stay positive one way or another!” The crown prince of Brodia then drills his fingers back into Alcryst’s sides, trapping his brother’s torso in a tickly pincer attack.
“AHA!” Alcryst squeals and wriggles onto his side, “Diamahahant! Nohoho mohohohore! Plehehease!!!” 
Diamant smiles and releases his brother. Alcryst flops limp on ground. He takes in any missing air as he maneuvers his limbs out of their curled, armadillo-like state. Diamant grabs Alcryst’s arm and helps him up to his feet. The older Brodian prince dusts the dirt off the shoulders of Alcryst’s jacket, then wraps an arm around his little brother.
“Come on,” Diamant tilts his head towards the farmyard, “let’s go finish caring for the animals.” He pats Alcryst on the back as they move forward. Alcryst jumps for a moment from the taps to his back, but he then relaxes into his brother’s hold of safety over his shoulder. As a matter of fact, Alcryst doesn’t feel a thundercloud of negativity over his chest like he did earlier. The tickles must have chased the gloom away.

Can I request some fluffy headcanons for Alcryst Gregory and male Alear with a female reader?
Alcryst, M!Alear, and Gregory Headcannons.
Series: Fire Emblem
Characters: Alcryst, M!Alear, and Gregory.
Genre: Fluff.
Reader: Female.
Tumblr media
Alcryst
First of all, he's very shy and nervous as we all know he'd always say things like. "You can do better than me." WHICH IS NOT TRUE AT ALL!! Give this boy all the affection, love, and reassurance because he deserves it!
I feel like it would be a while before he started calling you any nicknames. However, when he does I can see him calling you princess, darling, my angel, and my love.
Of course, you call him nicknames as well such as my prince, darling, handsome man, prince charming, and Sir-Loves-A-Lot.
I feel like Alcyrst would be nervous before and even after you officially have a relationship with him. Citrinne and Lapis are his wingmen or wingwomen in this case. They both love and support you both and want nothing more than to see Alcyrst happy. :)
Alcyrst just loves to cuddle with you although he might be too shy to ask for cuddles. He wouldn't bring it up, especially at the start of your relationship and instead would wait for you to mention it. But when he gets more comfortable except to cuddle this boy a lot!
M!Alear
I mentioned cuddling with Alcyrst but with Alear? You might as well be cuddling this boy all day! It's like you mind tho you love cuddling up to your sleepy dragon prince!
Of course, you know this boy's love for animals knows no bounds! After every battle, he'll look around the area to bring back any animals to the Sommiel. This can range from Cats, Dogs, Rabbits, and even Sheep!
You would also be one of the lucky ones to revive an Emblem Ring from Alear! (Whoever that Emblem Ring is up to you!) Alear knows even in battle if he can't protect you the Emblem Ring will.
Of course, since you're in a relationship with Alear that means you also know Sommie! Of course, when you first met Alear you noticed how Sommie followed him around. You found it to be completely and utterly adorable! Of course when Sommie warmed up he'd also follow you around!
Of course, you know how kind Alear is he's the sweetest boy you've ever met! Maybe even too kind can't let people take advantage of his kindness. So just like how he protects you in return you protect him as well!
Gregory
Of course just like Alear and Alcryst Gregory also loves cuddles! Of course, Gregory loves things that are soft and cuddly. So expect to be surrounded by a bunch of plushies while you cuddle!
I feel like Alear Gregory would also like animals. Dogs, rabbits, and sheep are all animals I think he would like. It's a good thing Alear brings back so many animals to the Sommiel. It means animals are never too far away and of course, he loves to hold and cuddle Sommie!
Gregory can be somewhat time and shy especially when first meeting him. However when getting to know him more it's like he's a different person! It makes you happy to see him this way as it shows how much he trusts you.
Of course, you know how much Gregory dislikes pain. It's understandable as no one likes to get hurt. So in battle, you're at his side ready to protect him from danger! Of course, he'll do the same Gregory hates getting hurt but hates it even more when others he cares about get hurt.
Having known Gregory for a while you knew he had a real talent for making outfits! Of course, you would be more than willing to try out any outfits he made. Of course, he'd also make outfits just for you! <3
