THANK GOD IM NOT THE ONLY ONE THINKING THESE THOUGHTS. Like Sisyphus I am forever bound by my love-hate relationship to this game and will continue to have brain rots about FEH despite it not being fully built for that.
Speaking of, Anna! I don’t sit here and psycho-analyze Anna like I do with Alfonse or Sharena. She is giving team rock. She knows who exactly she is and aint got qualms with that. Which stands in great contrast to the Askr siblings who cannot relate they be struggling. Girly is giving the Toph simplicity to Zuko and Katara complexity. But with a more cool girl who’s a grade above you energy. And I love that for her. But ma’am who are you and how did you get here?
What history does that woman have with the royal family that she was trusted with the health and safety of the royal heirs of her nation? Hell, unlike every other Anna she is actually loyal to a nation how did that happen??? Usually she’s just a glorified mercenary here to make a small fortune out of war time, but NO she’s a whole ass commander willing to put her ass on the line for this place. And it’s not commander of a non consequential platoon either. She is the commander of an elite task force managing the affairs of other worlds and works in tandem with heroes from said other worlds, even though (if my memory serves correctly) the King frowned upon involving the other world’s in their own problems. Like???? Girl????? She’s getting more special treatment from the king than his own kids are getting. There is a STORY there and I WANT it but will I ever get it probably not. So I will make all the headcannons in violent defiance no one can stop me.
It would make so much sense if Bruno and Anna were Alfonse and Sharena’s retainers at some point. It would explain how exactly Bruno got in so close to the royal family and why there is openness yet professionalism in Anna’s relationship with the royal siblings. Also it could be hilariously ironic if Anna and Bruno were friends before that and acted as duo package. So as Anna was rising above her station to the point of working directly with the royal family, Bruno was SWEATING. Trying to pinpoint when exactly he lost all control.
So I’ve been loving all your FEH stuff! Your art is very very pretty it looks like candy and I want to eat it to become all powerful. But now I got a question! Got any thoughts on Anna? She also gets pretty sidelined by the plot which is a damn shame because I find her dynamic with Askr siblings FASCINATING. With all their complications with making friends, Anna seems like the only friend Alfonse and Sharena have successfully made and I would kill to know how that happened.
EXTREMELY THRILLED TO HEAR THIS HAHAHA esppp thank you!!! That is SUCH a compliment... deeply honored to have my art achieve edible-looking status 🫡
ALSO. I'VE. BEEN ROTATING THIS IN MY BRAIN SO BAD. The unfortunate thing I'll be upfront about is that I don't have a lot of thoughts about Anna, aside from like, appreciating her gimmick and finding her funny.
But I DO agree she does have a fascinating dynamic with the siblings. Like. I think it's so interesting to see how Anna is their superior, as the commander and leader of the Order of Heroes, while at the same time Alfonse and Sharena are literally the prince and princess of Askr. Which IS par for the course for the Order of Heroes to have royalty in their ranks, but still!! It's a dynamic I can't quite put words to, but it is SO interesting to see how it plays out. (Also worth mentioning though, I feel, Alfonse and Sharena wanted to join the order not as royalty but as themselves, as people. What they stand for, believe in, and want for the future, ect -- so their status doesn't always play a huge role, but, you can't erase it completely, esppp as they ARE the prince and princess Of Askr)
AND ALSO. All that said, Alfonse isn't afraid to call Anna out when he feels her schemes are getting slightly unethical LMFAO. Despite each of their status/titles/roles, they do feel like they're on equal footing. And with Sharena, her relationship with Anna is very friendly -- but I feel like that's also just how Sharena is LMFAO.
In my head though, the way I see it, each of their relationships with Anna do feel professional in nature? Which isn't to say it can't be personal as well, I do think each have bonds with each other. But espp when I've revisited Book 1, I got the sense that Anna is more of a boss and mentor to the siblings -- esppp when Sharena starts crying recalling the disappearance of Zacharias, Anna is quick to resolve it in a professional way and also take the responsibility she felt as the commander to all three of them (WHICH. ALSO. WILD TO THINK ABOUT. Like what IS the timeline here???? I WANT TO KNOW SO BAD.)
(also also that moment Was from Book 1, so maybe I'm not accounting for character development here, I only revisit books when I'm feeling VERY autistic about something specific in particular LMFAOO)
AND HONESTLY IF I. THINK TOO MUCH ABOUT THAT I go insane, like. I know it's just a consequence of Zenith being In A Mobile Gacha Game, and the point isn't really the world of Zenith itself it's to get all the guys from the mainline games to make money LMFAOO BUT. Askr feels so lonely and empty, actually. Like I feel like we have a more fleshed out/more world building for Embla than we do Askr! A LOT of fascinating family stuff there actually. But in Askr it's just Alfonse, Sharena, their parents, and Anna. That's it. And honestly I HAVE to wonder, like! Where did Anna come from, anyway? I know each Anna has their own lore, so I suppose she could just be from Askr, herself. And I guess it wouldn't matter any which way, but I am just so. I WANT. LORE. AND TIMELINES LIKE. When did Anna become the commander. How long has she been the commander. You've given me a whole new thing to violently chew on wood over HAHAHAH
Nothing like the leaders of an elite army battalion raiding a kitchen like newborn dear cause none of them know how to actually cook.
In case it wasn't obvious I had stupid amounts of fun drawing this one. It was meant to be a silly warm up sketch but hahaha cut to a few hours later and I put my whole ass into drawing these dorks.
Found family game night is highly competitive in the FEH household. People die. Careers are ended. Any action causes an equal and opposite *Anna Will Remember This. This a battle to the death and no one is safe.
SHARENA WEEK DAY 4!!!
"Ladies First~!"
(also holy crap i drew that?????)
SHARENA WEEK DAY 5!!! WHOOPS!!!
Forgot to add final details and hit export yesterday! My bad!
Here are the girls having a great time in a silly little modern au! Doing the lil Chainsaw Man dance because I thought it'd be cute :D
SHARENA WEEK DAY 6!!!!
SHES DONE!!!!! WHOOOO!!!!
Took me a minute to finally knock this one out and I'm honestly restraining myself from going crazy on the shading and background. But that's eight characters in a style I don't normally work in. I already over estimated the time this would take. I'm calling it here for my sanity.
But with that out of the way, I wanted to thank everyone for the support during Sharena Week!! And an even bigger thank you for the people who made stuff for it! I'm putting it all your art in my pocket. I am running away with it. I am intently staring at it once I have escaped the authorities.
This has been very fun! Big thank you for @sharenaweek / @sharenalovemail for hosting. Please please please go check out everything she's doing. Stare at 'em with your eyes!
And with that I'm gonna back into hibernation! See you once Kiran Fire Emblem inevitably takes over my brain again :D
I've always had the idea that maybe Sharena and the Summoner could also be together to y'know ✨
sharena is a cutie ok
Julia's girlfriends were worked up and supportive even if she didn't win in the end
