Kane Headcanons! (Time to meet the unofficial yet at the same time official guardian/bodyguard of Dion and Bunny/Vasserva as he decided to call them...)

First Headcanon, I totally imagine Kane is the type of person who's like "Don't talk to me until I've had my coffee" (but in Kane's case, instead of coffee, it's tea....)

Second Headcanon, (slightly also a Bunny and Dion Headcanon... but..) I totally imagine Bunny bought Kane and Dion quite a few "human" clothes (despite both Kane and Dion telling them it was unnecessary..) and they had a little fashion show when Bunny eventually got home…

Third Headcanon, (slightly connected to my Headcanon that Dion has a broken horn... but..) I imagine Kane has a bunch of cracks on him... (and I don't mean cuts... literal cracks...) we don't know how he got them... all we know is that he uses magic to hide them.... (it's possible he got the cracks from when he tried to protect Dion at one point... and he hides the cracks to make sure Dion doesn't feel bad and also because he's somewhat ashamed of them... cracks can somewhat symbolize "imperfection" or "weakness".....things i imagine Kane doesn't want to be associated with.... and that got depressing.... let's just move on!)

Fourth Headcanon, (slightly also a Bunny and Dion Headcanon… but..) I totally imagine Bunny has dragged Dion and Kane into taking some group photos (not to post, just photos for Bunny to keep of their new friends/roommates… I like to imagine Bunny is the type who hangs up their photos on a little bulletin board in their room…)

Fifth Headcanon, (slightly also a Dion Headcanon and slightly connected to my Headcanon that Dion has tried to keep a rat as a pet... but..) I totally imagine Kane is sorta the "protector" of the home/apartment while Bunny is at work and he has stopped Dion multiple times from bringing random animals into the home...

Sixth Headcanon, (slightly also a Dion Headcanon... but..) I don't know why but when I picture Dion and Kane, I like to imagine they both have long yet also Fluffy hair... (Bunny definitely has at least once style their hair for them...)

Seventh Headcanon, Kane definitely seems like the type who keeps a journal.. (maybe Bunny gave him the idea... also do we know where he keeps his journal?.. Nope.. I think that's mostly because he doesn't want Dion finding it...)

Eighth Headcanon, I definitely think Kane is the type of person who had to learn how to sew/knit because Dion kept accidentally ripping his own clothes...

Ninth Headcanon, I definitely think Kane his own little bubble/shield (but unlike Cyril's bubble/shield) Kane's bubble/shield isn't to keep people away, it's to hide his emotions... I imagine since Kane is a bodyguard and his "job" is to protect Dion that Kane hides his emotions so they don't interfere with the job... (I imagine though that despite his best efforts because of Dion and Bunny that the bubble/shield has began to crack.... it's not much though... but he has show a little more emotion... its just baby steps... annnd it got more depressing again, let's move on once more!..)

Tenth Headcanon, (slightly also a Bunny Headcanon... but..) Kane definitely has a quite few friendship bracelets now because of Bunny (and he treasures the bracelets though he probably wouldn't say that out loud..)

#reverie audios #kane #Slight Dion #Slight Bunny #Curse these sad headcanons ;-; now I just wanna give Kane a big hug

I'm trying really hard to understand Baby's deal, and I don't think it's your fault, but I can't follow who made who or who's in charge of what in this whole operation. I always figured Mu made Baby a la Gero and Cell and the rest of the dumb Machine Mutant/Luud Cult stuff was just ways of accumulating power for Baby, but at this point they've flipped the script too many times for me to keep track.

No, I totally understand. It's possible I haven't communicated it very well, because I don't want to get bogged down in the details. But it's a very confusing story, so even if I tell it right, it's still hard to follow.

I'll try to go over it here, without the distractions of the rest of the plot.

First, the Tuffles created Baby at the end of the Saiyan-Tuffle War. I don't think I've posted the episode that reveals that, but it's in the queue, and there's not much point in ignoring this. This would have happened at least 55 years before the events of GT.

Second, Baby created Dr. Mu. This had to be at least 20 years before the events of GT, since the Luud Cult was active that far back.

Third, Dr. Mu created the Machine Mutants. Again, this would have to be at least 20 years before GT, since Luud is a Machine Mutant.

Fourth, Dr. Mu created Luud, a doomsday weapon powerful enough to conquer the universe, but one that required vast amounts of a specific energy type to function. There was a throwaway line in Episode 22 about how Luud was sending its energy to Baby, but I'm pretty sure that was just an attempt to cover a plot hole.

Fifth, Dr. Mu recruited Doltaki to persuade unsuspecting aliens to support the Luud project This was apparently the only way Mu could think of to maintain and fuel Luud. This was 20 years before GT.

Sixth, Doltaki established the Cult of Luud on Planet Luud. The cult has technology that allows them to "feed" Luud the energy from different life forms. This is used as a way to dispose of the cult's enemies and to punish unruly disciples.

Seventh, Doltaki put Mutchy in charge of the Luud Cult's day-to-day operations. Doltaki himself withdrew into isolation, presumably to play with his doll collection.

Eighth, Mutchy used a servant named Muthcy Motchy to act as his surrogate and carry him around while disguised as a whip. I think this is where most people get really frustrated, and this is probably why Funimation tried to smooth it over in the dub by saying the whip and the servant were two forms of the same character. My guess is that Mutchy is a Machine Mutant tasked with assisting Doltaki, but Dr. Mu didn't want the Cult associated with Machine Mutant activities, so they arranged for him to stay in whip form and got a guy to carry him around all the time.

Ninth, Dr. Mu used the Machine Mutants to subjugate and replace the population of M2. I can't be sure of when this happened, but I'm guessing M2 was conquered after the Luud Cult was formed, since M2's warriors seem to be much more sophisticated than Luud and Mutchy.

During the events of GT Episodes 1 and 2, Dr. Mu discovered one of the Black Star Dragon Balls. Somehow, he learned what it was and how it worked, and he ordered the Luud Cult to search for the other six. That's why the Para Brothers stole the Dragon Ball that was on Planet Calvo, but it's not clear how they knew to go there. My guess is that Dr. Mu developed his own Dragon Radar, but it wasn't precise enough to be very useful. Mutchy Motchy somehow knew that there was a Dragon Ball aboard the GT ship, but he didn't tell the Para Brothers about it until after they had missed their chance to take it.

This whole nonsense reminds me a lot of this video I saw making fun of the plot of Star Wars Episode II - Attack of the Clones. Let me see if I can find it. Yeah, here we go.

youtube

In case the video doesn't work, the gist is that Palpatine wants Padme assassinated, so he has Count Dooku send a bounty hunter, who sends another bounty hunter, who uses a robot to send a centipede to kill her. And then when the first bounty hunter has a clear shot at Padme, he instead goes out of his way to kill the second bounty hunter instead. It's confusing and weird.

In defense of Episode II, the confusion was the point. Palpatine didn't need Padme dead, he wanted her away from the Senate so she couldn't interfere with the vote to give him emergency dictator powers. And he made sure to use Jango Fett in his plan-- but not directly-- so that the Jedi would discover his connections to the Clone Army on Kamino and the Droid Army on Geonosis. This causes the Jedi to accidentally set off the Clone Wars. By the end of the movie, the Jedi have no idea that they've played right into Palpatine's hands, and it's already too late to stop him.

Unfortunately, when it comes to GT, the confusion has no point. It makes no sense for Baby, whose sole purpose was to destroy the Saiyans and Tuffleize the universe, would spend sixty years creating proxies to oversee cults and robot armies. There might be some way to explain it all, but GT refuses to even try. From Episodes 9 to 27, they just keep revealing one mastermind after another, without bothering to look back and check to see if it makes sense.

My guess is that the writers were literally making it up as they went. We know from the 2005 Kozo Morishita interview that they abandoned the "Grand Tour" idea pretty early into the show's development. The Baby Saga is pretty bad, but at least the direction is fairly stable. But then you have this span of episodes from 9 to 21 where I think the writers were visibly struggling to get from point A to point B. Once they got Baby introduced and established as the main villain, they had no interest in going back and trying to explain how Episodes 9-21 fit into his origin story. They were probably just grateful to have that rocky transition period behind them.

So it's very possible that Mutchy Motchy could have been considered as the main boss of the arc, and then someone shot that down and came up with Mutchy as a more badass design, and that got rejected and they came up with Doltaki, then used him to set up Dr. Mu. And maybe at one point Mu would have been Baby's creator, but then someone thought of Tuffles and they had to change it.

So yeah, it's a mess. Hopefully I've managed to make it a little clearer, but there's not a whole lot I can do.

FEH - "The outside world...! So vast!" (+10 WIP Sophia mini-showcase and appreciation)

So, with the [Feh Pass] subscription, I've been auto battling as much as I could while doing whatever else and gather [Hero Feathers] to get all the [HM] I had yet to get, and it was absolutely worth it, although I've already spent like 300 out of my 900+ something [Stamina Bottles] in the [Forging Bonds] lmao, I have around 660 now.

But with the obtained [Hero Feathers] I merged up Tailtiu to +6 and...

Poggers

I'm happy to have finished merging Sophia at long last which makes of her my eleventh fully merged project soon after New Year Eir, her build is pretty much done but I'd be delighted to give her more premium stuff she can use in the future and make more builds, as well as giving her the remaining [Dragonflowers (I)] but I'm so close to fully boost Sonya and then I have to boost OG and Legendary Julia because of the post-[CYL 2021] update. 🥴

But her current build does wonders already, true, she's not impervious to nearly everything as it is, but I can give her some team support and the like, she's still great on her own.

Now, onto appreciation talk which includes describing her a little and explaining why I like her. I did this in one of my previous posts but it's time to review the info we have about her and expand on it. As always, feel free to read on (long read ahead)...

About Sophia

She's a half-dragon, half-human girl with the power of foresight, she's a priestess residing in Arcadia, a village that houses manaketes that survived one of the most vicious wars from past lore (The Scouring) located in the southwestern desertic region (Nabata) in Elibe, the continent on which the sixth and seventh Fire Emblem games take place in, she's a playable [Shaman] in the former and makes a minor appearance as a NPC near the end of the latter. Her class makes of her one of the two playable dark magic users in Fire Emblem: Sword of Seals (the other is the guy you're most likely to get while pulling on red stones in FEH, a.k.a. Raigh), and she gains access to basic staves after promoting to [Druid].

In her support convo with Niime, it's revealed that Sophia's father was human, meaning that her mother was a dragon, but neither's identity is ever known to the player. But despite this, she never transforms into a dragon, most likely because she never had her own stone to contain those powers. Being half-dragon also allows her to live much longer, but not as purebred manaketes/dragons.

She's fully self-aware of her heritage and doesn't let that bother her, she accepts both halves of herself which make of her a whole person.

She's somewhat important around the half of the game's duration as she helps a gravely injured Cecilia to at least tend to her wounds while waiting for Roy's army to rescue them as they were both thrown into a prison under Bern's control (the kingdom invading the other countries during the events of the game).

Sophia displays a shy and gentle personality, showing clear astonishmnet yet in a calm way when witnessing what the outside world is like and what it has to offer (beyond the village she's been living for around a century), this is most evidenced in her support dialogues with Igrene. She even feels similarly when wearing a new set of clothes, such as those of Embla in the World of Zenith, anytime after she joins the Order of Heroes.

«As long as I am with you... I can go anywhere...even a new country...»

― Sophia

She also mentions she was raised to avoid outsiders, and in the same aforementioned support convo, it's mentioned why.

«I understand what he's saying... The Dragons' powers could easily destroy entire countries. If the outsiders found out, they would surely fight over it. I've seen many conflicts like that in my life...»

― Igrene

And it's understandable why she feels that way after being raised by the elder of the village to do as told for decades. But in the end, she wants to work towards a world of peace where both dragons and humans live together without a war ever spreading out, and befriend other people, she's appreciative of other's kindness.

So... why do I like her?

Because she's purple-haired and most of her design has purple and I love purple soooooo much, that's all you need to know. :)

...Kidding kidding, that's not actually it, but it's in part true that I find her aesthetic pleasing, partially due to my passion for this color:

(Official artwork from FE6)

Her design is rather simple but so charming, clearly evidencing her shyness (see the way she holds her book and her facial expression), and feeling clean without going overboard on details.

Also, I find long, purple hair a rather rare yet dazzling sight, I always look at it in her artwork and remins me why I love her design.

True, her neck in Zaza's take on Sophia in Fire Emblem Heroes bothered me a little, mostly because her neck is a little long as seen above, but not as slim as long as Zaza has drawn her (it's still a decent artwork and the artist has made some really nice pieces later, look at Emmeryn), the style also felt a little off to me. But her Resplendent upgrade made Sophia look more cute and still being the one we know, doning a brand new attire.

(❶ Original by Zaza. | ❷ Resplendent by Miwabe Sakura)

But for me, it's pointless to be pretty if there's not a likeable personality behind the character in question, and Sophia has been proven to be really interesting, often a mysterious but shy girl, she's capable of kindness and finding comfort with outsiders like Kiran or Roy, when I see her, I always feel that she's so nice, never feeling bitterness towards any of her allies, just being shy due to how she's grown, but with a desire for friendship and peace pushing her forward, even slowly but surely, she's so lovely. 🥰

What's more, some of her quotes show she has a protective side, determined to stand up to help her allies but specially those she's close with, this eventually includes Kiran themselves.

Her voice in Fire Emblem Heroes is also really soothing, Wendee Lee has made such a delightful work giving new life to Sophia through her voice acting, there sure are differences between her work back in 2017 (Sophia is a launch unit, meaning she's been around ever since the game was live) and the work on the Resplendent in 2020, yet both are pretty consistent and equally pleasant to hear. But if I have to vouch for one or another, I give a point to the Resplendent voice acting, her voice can be heard with a little more depth and calmness to it than the original, which feels more natural.

And she's a dark magic practitioner but that doesn't make her evil at all, she's really pure actually. But I actually find dark magic most appealing out of any kind of weapon I have ever seen, the whole concept is cool, being always creepy and nefarious in nature, often portrayed in hues of black and dark purple.

And like, c'mon, this thing is amazing:

I wish that [Apocalypse] was her PRF weapon in Fire Emblem Heroes but neither Raigh nor Bramimond who's its OG owner got it and just got random PRFs instead.

Anyway, in short, I adore Sophia and it always makes me happy to turn a seemingly weak unit into a tough to crack cookie, love for favorites sure can take them far.

"And... as a unit?"

I've been trying her mainly against the foes she has advantage with, but I've been also trying her against red/blue units and sometimes she does a nice job holding them at bay, she has low speed even after all this investment but with buffing it's somewhat usable.

Yet I prefer to focus on her strengths, not weaknesses, and she stands as a fairly good magic tank, with the few extras she enjoys as a launch unit and full demote plus Resplendent skin since around the first weeks of the [Feh Pass].

I actually tried her here some time after posting this because I didn't notice the [Limited Hero Battle] for today requires you use FE6 units, so I went with my faves in the game and it was rather easy. 🙂 But it still took a little thinking.

"Who's the next +10 you have in mind?"

Hmm... actually gonna (at least try to) work on Lilina, another one of my Elibian favorites. I also have her Resplendent upgrade and could revamp her kit. 🤔

But she's currently +3 so her turn might take longer or someone's else may come before, Idk.

And then, hopefully someone I like out of the next potential Resplendent Heroes...!
