Ridley fans are actually pretty funny, though. Love a good Ridley head-swap.
...Sigh. You just had to make me bring this up, Hong. :drifloon:

Can someone please make a Ridley head swap for every confession in Awakening?
Welp, it's going to take a lot of Ridley heads and a lot of time for me to do all of them...

But I can still do it. For the creepy-shipping glory. :4robinf:

Going back to the New Mystery of the Gloves, I just played a bit of Awakening again and noticed that Robin wears full on normal gloves in their tactician model. Looks like even the designers wheren't sure what to do. :D

On Kirby, he'd spit out Chrom instead of bothering to copy him. He tastes too bland.

(But TBH, Chrom wouldn't provide him with any sort of useful ability)

Somewhat unfortunate because I'd want to see Chrom Kirby. :4luigi:

Another view.


They're not gloves at all, really. I don't know if they even pass as gauntlets. They just go over the top of his hand and nothing else.

y do they do this to us

When did Robin's gloves/gauntlets become such huge subject around here? :4dedede:
It's the most hotly debated mystery of life, up there with where does your other sock go when you go to wash a pair and only one comes out and why does your foot always itch at the worst time in the worst place.

Aw dang it, I missed the conversation again :c

So, you guys are talking about which copy ability is Kirby's cutest. While I do find Robin's and Shulk's freaken adorable, you guys forget the cutest and most deadly one of the all;

FALCON KIRBY!!!

Well, they might be leather gauntlets? Maybe…

So I've just recently gotten the Wii U version, right? I still find Robin a challenging character, but highly rewarding. But after I use the Wii U Pro controller for a while, I can't play Robin for peanuts on the 3DS version. Strange, right?

Do you still have that "You deserve more than a sword and a world full of troubles" image?

Kellam is the Mike Wazowski of FE.

Kellam: I can't believe it...
Chrom: Oh, Kellam...
Kellam: I was on a video game cover! Ha! Did you see me? I'm a natural.

Already saw this once and it broke my heart. Seeing it again is just as painful. :(
MORGAN BBY DONT CRY </3

Kellam has been here the whole time.
Kellam? Is that like a new dlc character or something?
:troll: I love kellam jokes.

Btw am I the only one who goes back to edit posts? I do it all the time. Just curious. :p

I don't want to go to school tomorrow

I-I can't... WAAAUUGHH!!!!! *sniff* Actually, Pikachewey is right. Not quite the killer the second time. By the way, why is Severa holding a Levin sword?

Tbh though, I never bothered with Kellam. The guy is at best, a plain trope made into a character (actually I don't like the fact that most of FEA's can be boiled down to this).

Fire Emblem hardly ever did so poorly with designing its characters to the points that supports had me see any true depth to these characters (also Tiki being a veteran makes her already more well-written than most for some reason. )

Robin seems least prone to this as well, since he's not entirely fixated on one trait constituting the rest of his character as explicitly as others.

And... ANGUISH!:4robinm:
Wow, you have so many feels. :4lucina:
I can only cry so many times.:4robinm:
I've seen this and the other picture before, but they still both snap my heart.

Though, it makes me wonder what happened to Morgan in the original future
since it's heavily implied s/he is from Future Past and not the same time as the other kids.
Obviously, this excludes 3rd gen Morgans.

I think the extremely stereotypical tropes were fully intentional. I think that's kind of why so many people, including myself, find them so endearing. We're familiar with their tropes from the get go, but giving them a face, and the ability to speak to them whenever we want to and learn more about their specifics, makes them characters that we can care about. Marriage and children also plays a large part in it.

I absolutely love Sumia's little tropes. Shy, clumsy, bookworm. All the little things that I love. I also find her very relatable, which is another thing about the characters; you can see yourself in some of them.

I don't care that Cynthia is a stereotypical, cheerleader, airhead. She's my stereotypical cheerleader little airhead <3

and Morgan... But I find that a little less personal since everyone gets their own little Morgan. They hand them out like candy.

Also, considering the nature of FE with its permadeath (unless you're a casual wimp like me), it'd be difficult to include everyone in a good chunk of the plot, hence why most characters get an introduction and then basically do nothing outside of if you use them in battle and in supports. I think it's kind of fun to dig up the characters' secrets yourself, but I'm used to Pokémon where you often have to do exactly that (i.e. the diaries in Cinnabar's mansion on Mewtwo).

And I love Cynthia. I want to hug her so much.

I just need a hero to save me from all this Chrom x Sumia fanart.

I really don't get it, outside of it being shoved down the players throat that it's canon.
