Something that seems off at first is that Hinoka is old enough to remember her old mother as well as Mikoto’s arrival, but doesn’t remember that she and Corrin are not blood related and finds out about it in the forbidden S support, unlike Ryoma who already knows.

But then thinking about it, and given how the Hoshidans (or at least the Hoshidan royals) put so much value to blood ties that they expect someone who grew up in Nohr to just join them purely because they’re blood related and thus “their true family”, so it makes me think that Hinoka forgot about her true relationship to Corrin as a way to both quell her doubts in the path of life she chose but also to cope with her trauma.
And neither Ryoma nor Mikoto were eager to telling her the truth.
As far as the people knew, Corrin was 100% an Hoshidan Royal, after all.

But her yelling at Mikoto that she’s not their true mother is something she deeply regrets especially after her death and probably often thinks about in shame, so there was no way she was going to forget that.

Now that I’ve finished Shadow Dragon (by having Tiki get her first kill on Medeus funnily enough), I just realized something

If Gharnef used Thabes as his main base of operations, that means he heard the rumors about Grima, there’s no way he didn’t. He’s even privy to uncover long-lost relics like the Aum staff (..or, funnily enough, another dragon in the form of Tiki), so I find it really unlikely he wouldn’t investigate rumors of a beast whose power makes Medeus look like an angry lizard.

But if he knew about Grima, then why wouldn’t he try using them for his plans?
It’s not like he has nothing to fear, with him having Imhulu and Falchion, making him invincible and with the means to hurt the Fell Dragon, even if he can’t kill them

So… what gives?

Also the map where you fight Grima in Echoes uses the same track as FE12’s endgame map, so there’s at least a very loose connection there, even if it’s probably just “they’re both creepy ritual places where you have to fight a dragon”

But for real though, Grima now has so many small connections with Archanea and Valentia and it’s just insane

Questions to demiromantics:

When having a crush or being in a relationship, does it feel like it’s different from how alloromantic people experience it? Do you ever experience romance repulsion, even when experiencing romantic attraction? Does being arospec influence your romantic relationships with others?

(I’m trying to write a demiro character and I feel like it’s only right to ask these kind of things before going into detail with it)

Random rant on writing from your friendly neighbourhood aromantic~

I just read a mystery story that I really liked. You know, one of those stories where romance actually doesn’t have a big role?

Yeah no the last chapter they just… made EVERYTHING about romance. The reason a criminal did what they did? Unrequited love. The reason the main character pushed on? Not the friendship of her best friend encouraging her, oh no, it was the kiss from a dude she had a crush on and knew for a week or so. Those side characters that were just vibing on their own? Yeah let’s throw in a random love interest that never appeared in the sort before at the very last moment because why not. Not to mention subtle alloarophobia at the very end…

The ending was so bad I wanna cry lmao, what are allos on?

“They were more than a lover, you know. They were my friend ”

Woah okay I didn’t notice this but 700? Where do you all keep coming from?

Writing arospec characters with a level of romance repulsion in partnering relationships is pure self indulgence actually

From now on, only aromantic people are allowed to write romance

I feel like aro people either hate or love “(best) friends to lovers” and now I’m going to try break down why it either repulses us or it appeals to us

People who hate it also hate the idea that friends can’t be close without them catching romantic feelings for each other. It’s the amatonormative idea that romance is inherently more intense than friendship and that for friends to become even closer, they have to kiss. It’s the annoyance in fandoms where two characters can’t have a genuine sweet moment together without them being claimed to be “obviously pining” and getting attacked if you disagree. It’s the disappointment when, in media, the friendship is painted as a restrictive factor in a developing romance

People who love it may project their own confusion surrounding romance onto this trope. A lot of us grew up not understanding what romance is. A lot of us believed a romantic couple were just really really good friends living together. Because of this, a lot of us still feel like this trope is the only way a lasting romantic relationship can exist. Some of us were disappointed realising there’s another sentiment to romance, one we struggle to feel or understand. Some of us dreamed, maybe still dream, of finding a partner, despite not being able to fall in love. Some of us hope to find a really close friend who’s willing to spend their life with them.

Or you know, taste can differs, I just like to overanalyse based on own experiences and those of others. Aros can add on

[please don’t tag as ace]

My hopeless romantic aromantic butt looking for some fluffy fanfiction to indulge in:

“This is best friends to lovers”

Cool I love that trope!

“But will they stay just friends? Or will they become more than that???”

Uhm, yeah okay, honest mistake, it’s a phrasing that’s used a lot, I can put myself past this :>

*cue dramatic music* “I’vE bEeN iN lOvE wItH yOu SiNcE dAy OnE-”

How well would this burn?

[don’t tag as ace.]

So far I’ve gone from ace to non-SAM aro to alloaro. Come to think of it, theoretically speaking I’d have to ID as demi/greysexual, which would put me back on the acespectrum. But to be honest, I feel so much more connected to the alloaro/non-ace community and I don’t know what to do about that lol

[please don’t reblog]

Alloaro guys are pretty neat actually

Anyway I’m trying to come back to this blog, slowly. I’ve been stressed out lately so it might take some time to answer remaining asks, but I will make sure to answer them eventually. Thank you for being patient

So sick of characters being painted as bad people when they reject the romantic advances of the main character

Hey!

I’m sorry for being rather inactive lately. I know I still got some asks and I’m planning on answering them as soon as possible. I’m just trying to take it a tad easier for now to keep myself from crashing completely

Hope you understand, thank you for your patience

Okay I won’t go too in depth about this but!

I’d recommend watching Jaiden Animations newest video! It’s all about aromanticism and asexuality (mostly aromanticism) and I found myself relating to it an awful lot. It’s honestly so validating to see a person I’ve been watching content of for years come out as aroace and I feel seen for once. I think she explains the basics of it very well and tackles amatonormativity and some misconceptions. And I’m also really glad to see an aroace person clearly separate the aro from ace while validating both sides ngl. I hope all the allos watching her content will be educated lol

In short, I’m very happy and giddy right now :D

I think the biggest disadvantage of aro spaces online (and queer spaces in general) is how American(/English) everything is. I know a lot of aros, me included, can’t fully talk about what love is to them, because the word “love” means something different in their native language. Some of us have different sets of words to express different kinds of affection. I know a lot of aros would want to identify as “loveless”, but find it hard to integrate it in their own language. I know some aros can’t relate to a lot of the experiences people have with amatonormativity and arophobia, because romance and relationships are handled differently where they live.

Your struggles don’t go unseen, you’re not alone <3

Okay I had a weird realisation when I was writing for one of my arospec characters. They have a best friends to undefined relationship going on, but it leans towards romantic? And I noticed while writing:

Making them call each other “love”, “sweetheart” etc. Yeah sure, why not

Making them call each other “my friend”, “buddy” etc? Wow that gets me so bad lol

“List of small things that are so romantic”

You mean a list of things society tells us are romantic but are actually just small fun things that you can do with anyone that would just improve the lives of so many people if we normalised it doing with our friends but apparently only lovers can enjoy it?

Okay I’m finally free so I’m gonna start explaining the story I saw in my dream. Let me tell you that I hardly have dreams and for me to see an entire story and that too about the Miraculous characters, of course I had to write it down.

-It was a miraculous As Above So Below (sort of) AU. If you haven’t watched that movie you should it’s absolutely insane I love it.

-Nino & Alya were the main characters and were dating. Adrien and Marinette were side characters and not dating. They were a group of four friends who were discoverers and travelers, and Alya, being one of the main, was an archeologist. This role suited Alya so much oh my god. She was so dedicated to her work it was amazing to watch her.

Anyways basically Alya found out about an ancient relic containing information about the whereabouts of the Philosopher’s Stone that grants life. The stone was one of the miraculous I think. It was the same lore as the movie, that Alya wanted to find that stone in order to save her fathers entire life’s hard work. So the four set off for somewhere in a country. Idk where it was, but the journey was them in a convertible like fucking Nancy Drew lmao as they drove off across a desert to find the cave where the relic was.

They found a hotel close to the cave (wow) and they all slept in a room that was big but had, like, three beds in line like you’d see in a hotel room.

anyways, they put their stuff on the floor like the messy travelers they were. Cameras, bags, papers, everything scattered everywhere as they had the room booked for the week.

Day 1, 

they set off for the cave. Long story short, found the base of the cave where the large stone relic was in all its ancient glory. 

The info however, was in a language that even Alya couldn’t understand. Now if you remember the scene where Scarlett desperately tries to decode the meaning behind the words, that’s exactly what Alya tries to do. Nino has a hand on her shoulder as she tries to read it. When suddenly Adrien and Marinette hear the sounds of low sirens. You know, that deadass horrifying sounds like in the movie that make you pee your pants. That. Anyways.

Adrien tells Alya that he doesn’t think they should stay any longer.

Alya desperately shakes her head. She says she HAS to try. If they can decode it today they can move on to the next part of the mission. The sound gets louder. Nino squeezes Alya’s shoulder tighter and tells her that they REALLY should go now. She’s stubborn asf like Scarlett smh

The ground starts shaking and Marinette starts saying louder and louder to Alya that they really need to be alive if they want to continue and that they should run for now. 

Suddenly the shaking gets too much and the sound gets so loud that they all clutch their heads and they faint.

When they wake up, they’re all in their hotel room. It’s the morning of the next day.

Day 2, 

They have no idea how that happened, and as creepy and sus as the experience is for them they’re determined to not give up and Alya says that she needs to read the thing from beginning to end in order to start making sense of it. She wasn’t able to do that because of the mysterious sounds and then fainting. The recording they made of the words appear blank. In all the videos it looks like there isn’t anything written on the stone at all. So they set off again.

Btw did I mention that I really liked the fact that Alya and Nino were the main characters? Idk but the vibe in the dream was perfect.

This time before heading to the cave they went into a market to see different cultural things and get inspired. It was a happy time. They were enjoying themselves. You know like that small happy scene the movie gives you before shit goes down? Yeah.

Finally the fun comes to an end (alya and nino are busy being couples the entire time. Adrien just keeps staring at Marinette because.

You know the side characters+ not dating =might end up dating somewhere along the way.)

Anyways the mood dampens when they reach the cave. They prepare mentally, take deep breaths. Grab each others hands and set off again. They reach the base again. Set up their equipment. Alya starts trying to read again. Marinette’s kind of scared and her hands are shaking this time so Adrien grabs her hands for comfort because side character moment (okay lmao I’ll stop).

So while Alya is reading the relic, the sounds start again. They all tense up, but my kids are determined. Alya continues to read when this time, shadows start appearing around them. They all black out before they can even say anything about the shadows.

Again, they wake up, confused and scared, in their hotel room. It’s the same day but night time.

Day 3, 

They’re all shaken up but preparing to head out again. As they’re in the room, Adrien feels like he saw one of the bags move on its own. He mentions it but since no one else saw it, they let it drop. It’s important to mention that as the days progress, they start noticing more and more paranormal activity. And it always occurs in their hotel room. Nowhere else.

Each day they try to go to the cave, something more horrifying than the last happens. Each time they wake up in the hotel room they’re more shaken up.

Day 4, 

Marinette’s sick of this cycle. Nino is too, but every time he tries to tell Alya it ends in nothing but an argument and a lot of tears so he stops saying it. Adrien just wants to stay alive lmao.

On day four, as it’s night time and they just finish dinner, Adrien finds Marinette at the back of the hotel building. There’s some sort of garden there, and she’s standing in the middle of it, looking at and touching the flowers. Adrien calls her and she looks up. He walks up to her and tells her that for some reason he feels like something’s not right. He confesses to her that he’s scared, and that he always had a bad feeling about this mission from the start, but with the way things are looking and with how tonight he wanted to BET an even intense paranormal activity will take place in their room because its day 4, he feels like he needs to tell her his honest feelings before it’s too late. He tells her that he loves her no matter what happens in the end, or if they make it out alive or not. Marinette smiles and idk why she doesn’t confess in return but like she smiles and nods and hugs him so I’m guessing she did say it back and stuff. My brain was just lagging to put that little info in.

When they go back to the room they tell Alya and Nino about their confession. That’s the first good news Alya has heard in a week.

Day 5. 

They repeat the process. But this time there is a heaviness that wasn’t there before. They’re stiff, but Alya says that she’s pretty sure she’s almost gotten all of it. The same sequence happens all over again. But this time real shit happens.

The ground is shaking and the sirens are deathdifying but it doesn’t even bother Alya much anymore. She’s steadying herself as she reads it out loud, when suddenly Adrien shouts “LOOK OUT”

A figure appears from somewhere. Wearing a black robe that covers its face and body completely. The sounds that start now are more core-shaking than the sirens. It’s a really horrifying scene trust me when I say that.

A green flame come’s out from the chest of the figure, and when that figure looks up, it’s just a skeleton. Marinette screams. But then, and this scene is really funny to me, the flame says that this skeleton is the guardian of the stone. It was given a spirit by Hades to protect the relic and it’s information (I gues you can say the hades au really got to my head huh). And then the figure lunges at Alya and she tries to run from it, but she falls and it grabs her foot. A hole opens in the ground that very much looks like it opens up in hell and then the figure tries to drag Alya into it. They’re all screaming and holding onto each other for support as Nino grabs Alya’s hand and tries to save her. 

They do end up freeing her from the guardian’s clutches, but then a piercing scream in the cave makes them all lose consciousness.

As expected, they all wake up in their rooms with a jolt, this time looking at each other with wild looks, when the lights in the hotel room go out. And the scream from the cave erupts in the room. Suddenly there’s a lot of sounds, and when the lights come back on again, they find that every single thing in the room is destroyed or tossed around. The belongings and clothes are literally everywhere. The wooden beds are broken in half and flipped. The curtains are torn. Ngl it was very horrifying.

Anyways so while this was fun to write, I kind of woke up after this. Thank you for your time. If you have an ending in mind, please do let me know. I really want to know how it ends.
