Something about FNAF 3 and Fazbear Frights taking place in 2023 in our current social media landscape
Why did nobody take this opportunity before, it is literally perfect 😭 (I don't ship it, but the opportunity was too good to be missed)
Stockpile HRT now.
Tbh I don’t quite understand the sentiment that Engage doesn’t have good or any worldbuilding at all, like tf is up with that. First instinct would be “them 3H fans again!!!” but other long time FE fans also consider it lackluster and idk I don’t agree.
Each of the four nations all have surface level distinctions, but in-depth internal layers, such as…
Firene values peace, gratitude, and its harvests, tea, and medicine. It’s the kingdom that would usually be taken advantage of, but the reason it maintains its peace is through aggressive policy done by its leaders, currently by Eve and very notably followed up by Celine. Medicine and health is taken seriously cuz the last king died from an illness, the same illness which the current and well loved prince is suffering from. The Firene retainers are all nobles sans Louis, who is noted to have gotten his role because of his domestic skill in tandem with his martial prowess; this implies a sort of status quo, one that’s maintained to keep things peaceful, though not overly enforced to the point of oppression.
Brodia is wealthy and martially strong, yet prideful. The nobility is noted to take advantage of the constant wars on Elusia, as it fuels economy, which in turn fuels more wars. The wars against Elusia themselves are partly an extension of Brodia’s pride: aggressive expansion done in the name of “keeping a wicked nation in check” and to further Brodian way of life. Because strength is valued, the Brodian retainers are all common folk who proved themselves, sans Citrinne, who develops a complex about her strength because of it. Mining is the primary income source after warfare, something that Diamant wants to shift towards to the dismay of war benefitting nobles.
Elusia is the kingdom of knowledge, and as such, is the only nation noted to have a major place of education. The arts and the leisure seems to be highly valued here, due to an author, an artist, and a native to a hot spring centered village being recruited. Retainers, like in Brodia, are decided by strength or capability; after all, you don’t often have a Crown Princess’s servants be a former assassin and a former prince without skill and knowledge being paramount in the decision making. Hyacinth has too much love to go around, and so has a wife as well as many mistresses, and many children as a result. Knowledge begets avenues of possibility, which means one can use said knowledge to selfishly get ahead (such as the Elusian court where backstabbing and fake platitudes to appeal to the King and Queen were common place) or to benefit the world around you (Hortensia using her intellect and talent to help war victims, and Ivy utilizing Elusia’s creativity and innovative practices to better the public’s wellbeing). Seeking knowledge, however, can entrench one in dark practices, which is why the worship of the Fell Dragon went from notable to beligerent and dangerous.
Solm values freedom, and is notable for being a strict matriarchy. Only women take the throne, Merrin’s village is only ran by women, and Panette and Pandreo’s family church was headed by their mother. While open minded and easy going on the surface, Solm having its own elite vigilante group and having spies throughout the continent means that the queendom takes measures to ensure freedom very seriously; these actions are similar to Firene, which is brought up in Celine and Fogado’s support, and the two themselves are indicative of each of their nations cultures. Unlike the other nations, there’s no strict basis for who becomes a retainer, since you have a chef, a priest, and two runaways. The people of Solm live their lives how they want, and its culture is more open to entertainment and large gatherings than other nations.
And this is just what I whipped together from memory. I’ve no doubt that there’s tons of other minute details that, when pieced together, form more descriptions of the nations as a whole. This, to me, is on part with how the GBA games and Echoes built their worlds. Very solid in depth readings, with surface level broad strokes to entice the player in should they choose to put more hours into learning the ins and outs. And that isn’t even getting into the artistic directions of each nation and the characters (like outfits, seasonal representations, food/ingredients, etc.). Hell, the entirety of Elyos is shaped like a ring for crying out loud! It’s screaming “yeah the rings are this central to this world, enjoy your stay.”
I like that. Engage knows what it is and what it wants to present. No more, no less.
WE KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS NOW AND I HATE AND LOVE IT
hope is a skill
bowser and luigi face tutorials!
technically bowser’s muzzle has a few more bumps in it but this is a simpler version
you can also use this muzzle for bowser junior if you do it more like a bean or a heart with a round bottom part instead of an apple shape
So, I really wanted to explain these for you guys without y'all having to ask. I felt that you deserve to know. Also if you can't read what the arm picture says, that's okay, I honestly don't know why I didn't just type it up and paste it onto the paper. But, it says (if it's hard for y'all to read):
“Okay, on my arms, the black vines wrap all the way to the purple roses. The marks are different for every Fate Sealer, and yet I still don't know why there are thorns. The “FM” stands for Final Mission, aka the Fate Sealer’s journey is at it's end. A Final Mission is a Fate Sealer’s last world that they go to, and is normally activated when they find “That person”. I, however, am a different case. I have not found “That person”, so my Final Mission is a world where I'm supposed to find them.”
That's what the arm picture says for those who can't read it. I am sorry that my handwriting isn't that legible. Please let me know if you need me to do that for any other picture, I'm mot that willing to make sure you guys can read it. Also, please send me any questions you may have, as I am always excited to hear from everyone.
Have a wonderful time!
