#what to do in Lyon
Text
“We don’t even have physical bodies here in the First,” Thancred griped, looking at the toothbrush being thrust towards him with offense. “What does it matter if our soul’s teeth are brushed?”
Prim seemed unphased by his dismissiveness. “It matters that you remain in the habit. Build it back now and it will be that much easier when you do return to your bodies.” Her cool brown eyes examined him, then narrowed. “And not everyone is a disembodied soul. Tell me true- have you been making sure Minfilia brushes her teeth?”
Thancred’s guilty silence was answer enough. Minfilia, who had been the first recipient of a toothbrush, paused in her work guiltily.
“...I still don’t appreciate being treated like a child,” is what Thancred came up with after several long moments of silence.
Prim sighed and shook her head. “Well, it appears I’ll have to resort to stronger measures.” She reached into one of her many pockets and, with a flourish, produced a very familiar sheet of star shaped stickers. Thancred groaned aloud at the sight.
“Minfilia first,” Prim said, and the girl resumed her brushing double time. Once done to Prim’s satisfaction, she affixed one shiny star onto her knives, then, after thorough examination, presented one to the twins and Urianger as well. Finally she rounded on Thancred once more. The two made steady, level eye contact, both faces unreadable- until Thancred rolled his eyes, cursed under his breath, and snatched the toothbrush out of her hand. Prim smiled, radiating self-satisfaction, and administered a star to his gunblade.
#ffxiv#Primrose Lyons#dont think im gonna tag anyone else lol. this is very self indulgent#done on my phone so. formatting.#unfortunately the star stickers work on the scions. this is what Academia City will do to your psyche.#(she started it because it worked devestatingly well on the twins)

man there's sooooo much going on in the scene where munch saves dot. something in the way he says the one line is slightly playful, sarcastic, but very characteristically matter-of-fact. the fact that he chooses to reach for her instead of leaving her to use the ladder. the gaze they hold before he hands her the rifle. the decision to give her the rifle in the first place. his overall recognition of the beast in her as the highest form of respect he can bestow. the fact that he could have clarified their battle had to resume afterward, but didn't, because he genuinely cared about her wellbeing. it just made his return that much more desperate of an attempt for contact bc he didnt even look like he believed what he was saying about her owing him the debt. he just wanted to see her again & didn't have the language to relay that. he loved her & didn't know what to do with that for an entire year, but he knew what he wanted on the ranch. he wanted to hold her hand, to look at her again, to protect & empower her, bc thats his kin. hes already daring to hope & love without realizing it. you can see every bit of that turmoil on his face when he shows up at the house. "oh well if she's a beast & I'm a beast then she must speak in the language of beasts as well" & then she reminds him he's human

@zeroabyss replied to your post “@zeroabyss replied to your post “You're not wrong...”:
I definitely say a father telling him he has to do it all on his own and that he can’t even rely on his friends or even their fellow nations, definitely pushed Lyon to take the path that he did. No one can handle something on their own, and so Lyon was tempted to use the one power their texts said had the power to avert disaster.
You can see how this issue was more than likely a flaw when Lyon talks about him to the twins. About how his father took on the burdens all on his throne and barely, if ever rested. The man shouldered everything that it likely played into his worsening health and death, and his final words being to tell Lyon he can’t rely on help from others concerning a natural disaster and that the other countries would leave any Grado refugees to die at the border to protect themselves
Vigarde pushing all of the country's hopes and aspirations on his unprepared son was his mistake, sure, but...
Between Vigarde telling him to deal with Grado's fate alone because relying on Renais is impossible, and Vigarde/Father Mc Gregor/The World telling him not to free Satan to use his powers because Satan nearly destroyed the continent centuries ago, if Lyon had to pick one command to disobey, I suppose he could have picked the "I'm still going to ask for Renais' help" instead of "I'm going to use Fomortiis' powers".
Vigarde might have steered him in the wrong direction - Lyon already playing with Fomortiis' powers (to save a child! and then to predict tempests and save more lives!) was his own thing.
It's SS in a nutshell, good intentions alone cannot justify the worst means used to satisfy/reach them.
Lyon lamented and complained about his perceived weakness, feeling he would never compare to the twins nor would be the kind of ruler Grado will need to save itself... so he doomed Magvel, wanting to be the strong and kind person he wished to be.
I think this is the flashback where it's more or less spelled out :
Lyon:
“Mm… My research isn’t complete yet, but there’s no mistaking the power the Sacred Stones contain. And the Stone of Grado seems especially responsive to my dark magic. I suppose it’s because it contains both sacred and demonic properties. Regardless, if I can just press my studies a little harder… Well, I think I might be able to use it to heal my father’s illness. If that works, there’s no telling how many other people I can help as well.”
Eirika:
“Do you think this is wise? The power contained within the stones is beyond our understanding… My father tells me that the stones possess a power not to be trifled with.”
Lyon:
“Uh-huh… Father MacGregor is also against it. That’s why they still won’t give me direct access to the Stone of Grado. For the time being, I’ve made do with the radiant energies surrounding it. They’re nothing compared to the raw power of the stone itself, but… If I can show Father MacGregor some real progress, perhaps one day…”
(...)
Lyon:
“Thanks, both of you. Hearing those words from you means a lot to me. Actually–and this hasn’t been made public yet–but… I’ve already saved someone using the knowledge I’ve gleaned so far.”
Ephraim:
“You have?”
Lyon:
“Uh-huh… A while back, a fire ravaged Serafew, and a little girl got trapped in the flames. Her burns were terrible: not even healing staves were able to cure her injuries. But just a sliver of the stone’s power restored her life and healed her wounds. We saved that girl’s life, Ephraim! Oh, if you could have seen the tears of joy in her mother’s eyes!
Fado, Ismaire and I'm pretty sure Vigarde himself know it's not wise to triffle/use the SS powers... Father MacGregor is also against it, as the resident "holy man" around - and his words are important, since the Church of Magvel was founded after Latona, who fell herself (but managed to fend him off for some reason ???) to Fomortiis' possession! - but Lyon's reply is... Mockery? Or disinterest?
Father Mac Gregor wanted to prevent him from continuing on this path, and forbade him access to the Stone! But Lyon didn't care and still used what was... available, when he also knows the power he is using has demonic properties, and a will of its own!
Lyon's reasoning isn't "Father Mac Gregor is right maybe I should try to consider that I cannot "use" Fomortiis" but something like "maybe he doesn't believe me when I tell him this power can be used for good! I just have to continue working on it!" completely missing the point...
Or is he?
Sure, Lyon saved the Serafew child... but this hadn't made been public as of yet (2 years before the start of the game), like was this not enough to convince Father Mac Gregor that he could use those powers to do right and good things? Or Lyon himself realised he... "saved" someone who was already dead?
This flashback is even more interesting because we have this, the twins' failure :
Ephraim:
“Using the Sacred Stones to study magic…”
Lyon:
“Ephraim, Eirika, what do you two think? Using the divine power of the Sacred Stones in this way… You don’t think it’s a very good idea, do you?”
Ephraim:
“…It’s just that I know nothing at all of magic. I would that there were some way I could help you, but I simply can’t. But, Lyon, I’ve seen how hard you’ve worked to help others. I know how much you want the power to make others happy. I know these things, and because I know you, I trust your intentions.”
Lyon:
“Ephraim…”
Ephraim:
“If you hope to use the power of the Sacred Stone for good, I trust you can. I’m behind you all the way.”
Eirika:
“I agree with Ephraim entirely. You spend every night in the library, studying cures for your father’s illness. The power of the Sacred Stones is too powerful to be used for personal gain. But you, Lyon… I think you’ll be fine. You’re the kindest person I know.”
It's a double failure on their part, firstly because they give empty reassurances to Lyon claiming to know him, how he wants to use this power because he has the right intentions, or how it's totally not used for his personal gains...
When part of Lyon's desire for power was to help people, sure, but also, to be worth someone in Ephraim and Eirika's eyes!
Secondly...
No, the power of the SS (especially the one housing Fomortiis!) cannot and should not be used, even for "good" or with "good intentions". There are lines that shouldn't be crossed, even if it means not being able to save people/not reach your dreams.
The Epilogue in Eirika's route is very explicit :
Eirika:
“That would be nice… But first we must seal this away… This stone banished the Demon King. With such power… Do you suppose we could bring back Father and Lyon… That everyone who died in this dreadful war could be–“
Ephraim:
“Eirika.”
Eirika:
“I know, I know. Such things would be– I cannot wish for such things. No matter how it hurts, or rather because it hurts, we must learn to accept sorrow. We must take it into our hearts and tame our grief…”
Ephraim:
“Eirika… Tell me, Sister… If Lyon were here with us, what do you think he would want?”
Eirika:
“What he would want?”
Ephraim:
“Yes. You see, I think I know. It was the reason for his studies. It’s why he wanted to know about the Sacred Stones–or rather the Fire Emblem. Let’s take Lyon’s dreams and fulfill them in his stead. We can do that, can’t we? Without relying on any mystic power?”
Eirika:
“You’re right, Brother, we can. Let us fulfill his dreams. As Lyon wanted, as we all want… So we may live in peace and joy.”
Sure this epilogue sort of sucks because Eirika has to be explained things by Eph out of anyone (when we know how he takes the news in his route!), but the point still stands, tempted with the power to achieve the impossible... the heroes refuse and accept to move forward and fulfill their dreams (make the impossible possible?) without relying on mystic powers, especially if it comes from Fomortiis himself!
#zeroabyss#magvel stuff#fe8#replies#lyon stuff#vigarde was an ass and yet he still wanted peace#FE8's dark magic comes from fomortiis#Knoll in his support argues that dark magic shouln't be seen as inherently evil#and yet dark magic users in this verse can summon monsters and zombies#“'i'll use my zombies for good” sure jan#I guess unlike the other games in the series where power isn't inherently evil it's what you do with it that's evil or not#Dark Magic being so tied to Fomortiis and giving to its users a bootleg copy of his abilities is telling enough#that even if a dark magic user has the best intentions he will fall due to the nature and source of that magic#maybe if users only limit themselves on using Flux they can be spared? idk#FE8 is the methods >intentions game#I like the Knoll Natasha support it highlights the differences between the two#they're similar in their wishes to help randoms and Grado#but when knoll says he wants to help by knowing and researching#Natasha wants to risk her life to save people#and knoll follows her but doesn't want anyone to die

another way munch represents gender ambiguity is through his role as a sin-eater. the working class women are all abuse victims made to shoulder/"eat" the sins of men but at the same time munch is an extension of roy's power as a hitman, but then again so is dot with the violence & tactical awareness she learned to save herself from roy, which links the two of them together in an ouroboros that can only be broken if one of them eats him
#fargo fx#dot lyon#ole munch#or both!#also wondering if the pancakes have something to do with this. circles & whatnot#& maybe the old woman Was his mom? but from another life? maybe he can see who people used to be in their previous cycles#now its just a matter of figuring out what the seances mean. does it strengthen that power?#and how strong does it get when he eats literal bible pages

Tbf you literally can use your zombies for good in SS, that's what a summoner is
Gameplay and story segregation anon,
The monsters (entombed, mogalls, skeletons etc) are seen as abominations and signs of Fomortiis' returning power.
Morva, Monica and Vigarde are used, in game, to depict how twisted and malevolent it is to resurrect the dead, Morva in particular can turn against his daughter - who's to say those randos Knoll/Ewan summons weren't former Grado soldiers ?
Sure it's fun and I love sending random phantoms (and to see them survive lol) at units for fun, but it's just a gameplay mechanic.
If the end of the story's message (or one of them) is "don't bring back dead people, learn to move on" it's not to have Ewan bring back Ross's mom as a zombie and to send her fight against bandits who are terrorizing his village!
#anon#replies#FE8#i was so disappointed when I learnt Lyon unlocked after the Ruins cannot summon dracozombies#he does it in canon why not in the lol that is the post game?#meh#which makes me think#we never know what those ghosts like things in FE16 are do we? We know they can be created/summoned by Nabateans#and are under the “children of the goddess” affiliation#but what are they?#ghosts? Zombies? Or just constructs like Lumera's random soldiers?

"ALRIGHT MR. THOMPSON- I'll admit, you're the first in a string of interviews I'm running 'round here, so make sure to smile pretty for that camera right here, okay?"
Lilah's words follows button clicks as she sets up her old DSLR camera; red light blinking bright, angle level and even with @kxllerblond's shoulders from her end. Through the viewfinder, she can catch glimpses of gestures that look... normal. Like any other man whose priming themselves to be interviewed, ready to weave a smooth ballad of their greatness. This wouldn't phase her much if he didn't look so similar to an old obituary she stumbled over. He's a splitting image of a man who died of mysterious circumstances years ago... Curious.
But, can't let him know that's the true subject of their interaction. Her curiosity demanded answers, and her next book demanded a new subject. So, here Lilah Lyons was: posing as a bleeding heart advocate for small businesses. What a fraud.
" Now, here's how this is gonna go, Mr. Thompson: I got a few questions here on this trusty notebook of mine, and I'm going to ask a few things about your business, you, and why the community should support ya." Lilah smiles widely, stepping away from the camera and back into her own chair. She clicks her pen a couple of times before giving her full undivided attention. "We might even become friends by the end of it, wouldn't that be grand? Any questions for me before we get into it?"
#▶⌜lilah lyons. ic⌟#▶⌜001. the main plot⌟#▶⌜int. lilah & clark⌟#kxllerblond#This seemed like a FUNNY idea so please entertain me as Lilah is giving Clark what he likes to do: talk#LET ME KNOW IF THIS WORKS WITH CLARK'S CANON... if not I can rewrite ok

Seeing people in the Fire Emblem community be like “I’m sick of having interesting and morally grey characters in Fire Emblem, the fanbase can’t handle it. I just want good vs evil again” is concerning cuz this is how we ended up with Corrin and Garon who are both horrible examples of being completely morally black and white.
Heroes and villains are a lot more interesting when they aren’t 100% good or evil, and I don’t think interesting writing should be sacrificed just cuz some people who consume it have a hard time understanding that.
#fire emblem#fe14#fire emblem fates#i already thought this cuz of 3h#but playing sacred stones solidified this with lyon#let heroes do bad things#and let villains be more than heartless evil robots#i know there are plenty of games where there is a more black and white morality#like path of radiance#but even then they still show the impacts of what the heroes are doing#in radiant dawn
