Specializing in #FireEmblem goofs, jack-of-all-trades-ing the rest. Home of the #PashaSaga (adventures of Claude's wyvern and friends). Soft content, softer deadlines. (she/her • 30s • risingsunfish on Tumblr and Reddit)
Today's the day! I'll be starting my journey with Cai and his silly bird. Will do my best to lay low for a while so as to avoid spoilers, but I'll try to jot down a few notes to share my thoughts later. Happy trails, friends!
just learned Nintendo won’t ship my FW special edition until 1-3 business days after release…… friends please either talk me into or out of buying this game twice 💀💀💀
![Speculative designs for a Shadows variant of Roy based on a red panda. Chibi style, very unserious; lineart and colors are digital and flat, but the pencil sketch remains underneath, marginalia included.
Left: Neutral form; has panda ears, tail, and red stripes running up his cheeks toward his eyes. Tufts of white fur strike out from under his ears. His eyebrows are slightly bushier and white on the outer ends. He looks ahead with tense determination, trying in vain to offset his cuddly appearance.
Right: Shadow form; full panda mode, striking a mean paws-up intimidation pose. Clothes are mostly intact, minus his boots and gloves. A little belly fluff is poking out between the plackets of his overshirt. His eyes are glowing purple and his mouth is wide open in what appears to be a roar, but is more accurately an aggressive squeak.
Notes:
[Top:] I'm doing this under protest 😐
[Left, pointing to Roy's ear:] the pointiest I will ever draw his ears LOL
[Right:] honestly they're never going to get him to look cool as a lion so like......](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:htogemxiiopihcc4qgmiwkaf/bafkreibi25ugd3joi4qwjid5p4pz3htbpvmrczx3ewgeyitbwwzvhfowsu)
broke: Rhea sent Seteth to Dagda on some kind of church mission woke: Seteth's playing in the Heroic Games to wish for Flayn's recovery bespoke: one of these days he will finish his one-man global ecological survey but you damn kids keep starting wars #FireEmblem #FortunesWeave #FEFW
![Panel 1: Most of the panel is a close-up on a handmade, very careworn field guide to birds, open to the page on the Common Raven. There is a sketch of a raven's head and one of its silhouette in flight, and the notes and descriptions are all written in a neat script. A black feather and small skeleton key are tucked into the binding on the next page. In the background, we see an out-of-focus bird peeking its head just above the top of the book.
Panel 2: The book lowers and the camera rack-focuses on Eshmel in bird form, sitting atop the Pale Raven's Perch, backlit with a sparkling heavenly glow, looking particularly round, derpy, and un-raven-like. There is a sign above their dish that says, "PALE RAVEN / perspective shifts start at 5 seeds"
The text in the field guide reads as follows:
[Page 1] "Common Raven: Distinguishable from other corvids by rasping, throaty vocalizations, tail shape, and "beard" of throat feathers beneath beak. Significantly larger than its nearest relatives; sexes similar in size. Typically all-black iridescent plumage, though leucistic and piebald individuals do make rare appearances."
Illustration captions note "wedge tail," "throat ruff," and "approx. 115cm wingspan (based on shed wing feathers)."
[Page 2 is mostly cropped and covered by the feather; unseen portions are abridged or summarized.] "Observations: Wide variety of vocalizations [...] present year-round [in temperate regions, not found] in tropics or areas [...] [no consistent] migration patterns. Bonded pairs mate for life, [building nests annually of 3-5] chicks on average. [Young ravens depart by their third month.] Earned reputation for cleverness, [author recounts encounters with familiar ravens who gave him trinkets.] Highly omnivorous, [appear to prefer] carrion and human refuse. Mates often fly together [...] Ravens are playful aerialists, [even harassing] wyverns in flight with [little fear.]"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:htogemxiiopihcc4qgmiwkaf/bafkreibacqg7e4zsd4enlkkbpxten62lc557sd4a4o3gvqdkkerujufyjy)
everyone is talking about the proper Seteth reveal but nobody has mentioned that this mealtime clip was not, in fact, recycled from the last trailer. they took his fish away and gave him a pile of soggy beans and he's sad now.
If they let me reclass Boho Seteth to Bard this will be the greatest FE of all time forever 🥹 #FireEmblem #FortunesWeave #FEFW

last call for Fortune's Weave predictions and I'm officially putting my money on PREQUEL #FireEmblem
More gallery backlog! I did these for the 20th anniversary of #BindingBlade, intending to draw my 20 favorite characters but, surprise surprise, I lost steam. Starting with Lilina and Roy this time as a sort of thread header, and to further my Short King Roy propaganda efforts. 👑 #FireEmblem #FE6
I finally made progress in my #FE6 playthrough so I'm in a bit of an FE6 mood (more than usual, I mean). Here's an older piece... Bors is making the most of his time on the bench. #FireEmblem #BindingBlade
Look at this amazing and beautiful art that @racecarart.bsky.social drew and sent me!! I put it on the fridge because it's important and superb 💚💚💚
Okay! Posting art again! These are some YouTube thumbnails I did a few years back for @flashingfire.bsky.social's Maddening Pacifist 3H run. Great fun, still fond of how they turned out. #FireEmblem #FE3H
I've been busy, but had to make time to post my Christmas!Seteth alts for his birthday at least. Actually insane to me that they haven't let the historical saint/ageless being who cares about instilling morality in children and commands flying antler beasts be Santa yet. 🙄 #FireEmblem #FEH #FE3H
HI I'm alive!! I know I've been inactive lately, but in my defense: PUPPY. His name is Banjo. I adopted him in August and he's fantastic. Some fun facts about him: he can pretty much fly and he loves to snuggle all the way under the covers.
Maybe I’ve just had a long day but I feel like the 3 hours I have known about this new FE mobile game have aged me 10 years. I’m not mad or anything, I’m just… weary, I think?
I keep forgetting I have this WIP where I started drawing like, every #Undertale character? Here's Sans and Papyrus, Icecap, and Endogeny— I'll take requests for the rest!

Happy birthday, Claude and Pasha!! Working on a new (little) thing but in the meantime here is THE birthday post of all time if you haven't seen it! 💛🎂🤍
Sunfish@risingsunfish.bsky.social · 2y agoI wanted to really do Pasha's origin story justice, so the finished answer here was almost as long as all the other ones combined, and certainly more polished. (1/15) #FireEmblem #ThreeHouses #FE3H #PashaSaga
Look at that, I don't even have to break my #HTTYD streak to post something for Flayn's birthday. #FireEmblem #ThreeHouses #FE3H
![A comic in the format of the "Toothless Presents Himself" meme.
[Panel 1:] In the reception hall, Flayn performs her (chicken) dance for the White Heron Dance Contest. We can see the backs of judges Alois and Manuela's heads in the foreground; in the background, Dorothea and Sylvain sit and watch, representing their respective houses in the contest. Dorothea crosses her arms and legs and scowls at this apparently low-effort contest entry, while Sylvain is curled forward, elbows propped on his knees, eyes wide, hands over his mouth, looking like he's watching a multi-car pileup happen in front of him.
The meme text overlaid on Flayn is in fancy lettering, invoking her voice: "me, attempting the 'Dance of the Jungle Fowl' for my White Heron Cup audition."
[Panel 2:] Reverse shot of Alois (putting on a brave face), Manuela (actively cringing), and Shamir (just confused).
Flayn (narration): "the judges, aghast"
[Panel 3:] Claude peeks out from behind the doorway, giving Flayn an enthusiastic thumbs-up.
Flayn (narration): "my house leader, at whose insistence I performed this mortifying spectacle"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:htogemxiiopihcc4qgmiwkaf/bafkreiakib6n5mtuh6gajamacqqvw77ziaqnrs56i7eeqgjbvp2o3vgslm)
I figured out his #HTTYD name should be Pashnip and that was all I needed to be fully back. #PashaSaga
