... so I haven't made a post in several weeks (again!), but instead of writing a proper journal entry, I'm just going to put my MBTI list for the FE9/10 characters here

Basically, I've tried to decide upon an MBTI type for all of the Tellius characters -- none of these are set in stone and I'm basically only doing it for fun, so um, if anybody has any input, that'd be great! Especially considering I seem to be kind of bad at typing people.

I considered writing down reasons and such, but I figured the list is already long enough as is, so I'm not really going to explain them in this post (but if somebody wants explanations for any of the characters, please comment :D) Though this isn't relevant to the interests of... anybody besides me, is it

(Also, in case somebody wants to take an MBTI test, this one is short and should work well enough.)

( Here is the actual list, which I'm cutting because it's very tl;dr )

... because why not. Actually I'm not sure if reposting my art here is a good idea, but I'm going to do it anyway
I would post stuff to doodle_emblem if that wasn't so terrifying, but then again, these aren't technically doodles, are they? Hmm.


I finished the Chibiffrey and Chibilincia thingy after all! (I wanted to add a Lucia who'd tease Geoffrey about his ~serenading~, buuut I was too lazy to draw her. I'm probably just going to draw Lucia for Lucia13:th December, either way, because I mean. How could I not? :D)


Percival braiding Elphin's hair. Um, this was technically supposed to be for both a dA project and the "While Resting" FE 100 themes prompt, until I realized it didn't fit the prompt at all. Whoops I'll pretend it counts anyway since if they're not fighting they might as well be resting, right? Um. Yes.

Also I'm kind of realizing that my previews are frustratingly tiny, but posting my art directly onto LJ just looks silly so I guess I'll just keep making tiny previews. Or maybe I should use cuts

(yes I know nobody cares, but I'm going to make an overly elaborate post about this either way)
For once the subject is sort of relevant, because this post is going to be about the 20th Anniversary Artbook (I'm really late to the party but um) and what little of the Japanese in it I actually understand, which is barely anything, really, because I don't speak Japanese lol - actually, I'm surprised nobody has attempted to translate much of it yet also I would pay somebody to translate the entire book omg

First of all, there's a small amount of new art at the start of the book, almost all of which has been uploaded to this tumblr before (the only thing missing is a picture of Yuria, I think?), so just in case there's somebody out there who hasn't seen the artbook-exclusive stuff, I'll link it here:

In addition to this, there's some concept art at the end of the Tellius section (link because why not!). The text on the page mentions that the concept art was drawn for the games' CG scenes which is a bit odd considering Elincia's PoR battle outfit never actually appears in a CG movie? Either way, it'd make sense for the rest of the characters to have similar concept art, since it'd be hard to make 3D models for them otherwise. :D

The text next to Ike mentions how he keeps smaller accessories and a "small sword" which really looks more like a knife than anything else on his thigh; the text next to Soren says that "the timid Soren drawing on the lower right is very cute. Perhaps Ike scolded him..." so basically what I'm getting from that is that Ike is a jerk >:| but it's ok Ike, I still like you

Some other notes on the Tellius section:

( Read more... )

Speaking of ending notes, if a character has a paired ending with another character, there will be a green box with the header "If..." below their profiles, which explains what happens in their paired endings and comments on them. ... I kind of wish I actually understood the comments in question but I don't whoops

The Magvel section has art of Mansel and Morva, which I haven't seen before! It's not in Serenes Forest's Gallery section for FE8, at least, but I'm still not entirely sure if their official art is artbook-exclusive or not. (If it is, I think I'll try snapping some photos of it because unreleased offical art sort of bugs me.)

If my Japanese ever gets good enough for me to actually understand the text in this book, I think I'm going to prioritize translating the profiles for the new RD characters since I'm curious about whether they might give hints about their personalities or not! So now I just have to spend a few years studying Japanese yaaay except I don't really want to because Kanji are pretty annoying

I'm even starting to forget how to use proper punctuation, man (at least my entries aren't written in ALLCAPS... yet)
But anyway, I drew an embarrassed singing Chibiffrey! I've never drawn a chibi before, so chances are this looks completely horrible and I just haven't realized it yet, but um I'll post it either way



I'm considering actually shading him properly and drawing a Chibilincia for him to sing for, because that sounds cute ♥ I will probably do that when I stop being lazy!

... I'm technically supposed to be drawing that Elphin/Percival thingy, but I've been struck with a sudden inspiration to draw fem!Ike. Yes. Her name will be Ikea, thereby enabling me to make lots and lots of unfunny furniture jokes (it's obviously the perfect name for fem!Ike)

The one everyone else has been doing, of course! (Stolen from... still pretty much everyone?)

Name a character from one of my fandoms and I will tell you:

A) My OTP for them
B) The runner up
C) The anti-ship
D) My unpopular fannish opinion on said character
E) One person he/she never fell in love with, and why

see I usually don't do memes on LJ because I always have this feeling that nobody's going to comment, but um. I'll give it a try, at least. (My main fandom is obviously FE [6-10], but I'm up for discussing characters from Tales of Symphonia too - I don't tend to ship that much for other fandoms, though, but feel free to ask either way.)

In other news, I watched Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part Two a few days ago and spent most of the movie trying to decide whether I should be crying or giggling over it. I ended up doing both, unsurprisingly. ... I wanted to do a proper post on it, and maybe I will someday, but for now I'll just leave this (spoilery!) video here because I will never not find this moment hilarious. :D it's just so hammy

... that is actually a legitimate question, because I seem to get tumblr but livejournal is kind of confusing for me, mostly because I'm too scared to really friend people. :'o I think I am going to try watching/friending/whatever all of those FE meta LJs even if it seems creepy because I've been wanting to do that for a while, so, um. Yeah. And yes I have kind of been neglecting LJ in favor of tumblr

1) ( This is a sort of rant on the whole LJ vs tumblr thing )

Oh, and also I think it'd be nice if LJ had a like button! I tend to be too scared to comment on fics and such with a simple "hi this is awesome" comment because I've read too much about authors complaining that they hate getting short reviews or something, so um
yeah I'd just like it if there was a like button (Pun not intended. I think.)

2) ( Also, Shadow Dragon rant, which is probably long overdue and for some reason I talk about pairings a lot )

3) I feel like I've talked enough about Ghost Trick on tumblr already (albeit in private messages, so it might not even count), but can I just say that I think it's a lovely game? ♥ I don't know if this is bad or not but I think I'm starting to like it more than the Ace Attorney series. I guess the small fandom makes things less scary to me, too.

I'm rather shocked by the lack of subtext in Ghost Trick, though, considering it's made by the same people who made Phoenix Wright and all. The only pairing that comes to mind for it is Bailey/his grumpy NPC cop buddy with no given name, which had the most obvious subtext ever, clearly (I mean I can't be the only one who noticed that, can I). It seems like Jeego/Tengo is sort of popular, from poking around the fandom, but that's technically a crack pairing so I'm not sure what to make of it? Um. It strikes me as a pretty friendship-oriented fandom, really. I'm ok with that.

(the next time I post here I think I'm just going to do a fan art dump, even though I don't really draw much, since lumping art together with ranty posts tends to look super messy)

1)( Crossposted art time. Zelda fan art (surprisingly) and an Ike/Soren thing (unsurprisingly). And look, I'm using previews for once! )

Since I'm rambling about art either way, I'm wondering if my inability to doodle doesn't have something to do with the fact that I'm really bad with expressions and at not being a perfectionist? I guess I'll have to force myself to study that. Well, you can't really study the latter, but still.

2) ( I comment on the Innes debate that happened over at emblanon, instead of commenting on the actual meme, for some reason. )

Since I'm on the topic of Magvel ships either way... I thought about Lute/Vanessa yesterday, and I'm really unsure of how that would work out, lol. b-but it does sound kind of cute

3) ( Also, real life nonsense! :D )

1) ( I'm not entirely sure what this is about. Something to do with video games and Hector and political parties? What. )

2) ( This is the last Avatar rant, I promise )

3) ... so I was looking out my window a few hours ago, and suddenly I saw a sort of blue-orange-ish thing with a tail trailing after it fall down.
was it comet? I seriously wish I knew what it was, because it's really bugging me. what if it was a falling star
(maybe I should just make a wish!)

Oh, and in order to somewhat offset the blandness of this post, have an adorable gif of a dog (which is totally different from an adorable gif of a cat)!:

(I'm sorry, I just had to share it with someone)

... I was actually planning on getting things done today (and by "getting things done" I probably meant "draw fan art"), amazingly enough, but then I found a link to TVTropes on tumblr aaand
well
yeah there went my day. :| Time to procrastinate some more I guess.

1) ( Short Avatar: TLA rant )

2) Things I should probably do during summer break: draw lots of fan art, watch more Avatar, watch the ASoIaF adaption since apparently it's really good, and uh. Play video games. I should try to learn how to not fail horribly at Brawl, for example.

I have no idea how to play that game so I just end up dying over and over again. Also I refuse to use continues most of the time, so at the moment I have a huge pile of 8000+ coins just... sitting there, I guess. Seriously though, how do you get good at SSBB? I don't understand ;__; is it because I keep using Ike. Is that the problem

3) ( Crossposted art time. Have some (old) Nanna and (newer) Geoffrey/Elincia art under the cut. )

... so um I should get started on drawing WeepyDrunk!Heather now. :'D (... haha I feel so odd for not just constantly drawing my OTP)

... so mostly my reaction was "no new FE? ;o; bawww" but obviously FE games are pretty much never going to be shown at E3 (RD being an obvious exception), so I guess I can keep hoping IS will announce a new FE game sometime later this year. Maybe. Hopefully.

Oh, but apparently there's going to be a new SSB game (on both 3DS and WiiU no less), and you can't have SSB without Fire Emblem, right? It's better than nothing. :D

Some other random thoughts:

( There isn't anything interesting here tbh )

Also, I was replaying the Pokémon TCG for my Gameboy (yes this game actually exists and it is incredibly awesome) because I suddenly felt like playing a ~retro game~, and two of the characters you can duel in the Grass Gym are named Heather and Brittany, and I was like "well that would be an interesting crossover pairing"

I think I have a problem.
