That's basically what I mean by "going into hiding". I retract my remark. I was taught that the more effort I put into something, the smarter I was. You can't just come up and say that having an emotional investment means I'm stupid. The least I could hope to achieve is compromise.

Okay, "everyone keeps questioning ''why they even bother''". Please don't report me.

I'll leave the first point open to debate. The second point: we are talking about your headcanon, not your fanfic. It doesn't really matter what you wrote, but rather what you visualize. Third, THEY DON'T GO IN HIDING?!?!!? WHY?!?!? Any fic with that situation would do best to have Geoffrey chase them out of the country! That's what happened with Lancelot!

"IS did it" isn't really a defense. Besides, you're trying to imagine Elincia as DITCHING HER COUNTRY to raise a family in secret. No one is going to treat that as anything but messed up. The words of the day are "self-centered morality" and "having your cake and eating it too". EDIT: There's an idea: Base your long-term Ike/Elincia fic off that one-shot.

That's basically what I'm saying! Ignore the game saying he vanishes completely! Just make a story where Ike stays and build from that! By trying to stay within those guidelines, you force yourself to invent weirder and weirder interpretations of canon to justify your beliefs. Heck, while you're at it, maybe you could make your own FE9 and FE10 fics. You want to obliterate Largo? Do it! You want to make Lucia and Renning sexually attracted to each other? Do it! You want to make Ike heterosexual? Do it! Don't let a silly "AU" classification put you down!

I'm not trying to troll. what I am doing is participating in a forum. It's not my fault I ran into the forum pariah.

About any time you've ever had to respond to people's objections to your derailment of Elincia. What's the big deal with getting so invested with Ike/Elincia anyways? No, I'm not asking why you ship it, I'm asking why you feel so compelled to defend this vision instead of invoking Death of the Author wrt Ike "Leaving and never being seen again"?

Thank you. I mean, getting told that getting emotionally invested in this is wrong and worth getting banned over? That's really freaking painful, you know. That doesn't mean you have to flaunt it everywhere like your headcanon is such an amazing piece of literature.

...Please lock this thread before I go out of control.

Now who's being rude? That's the million dollar question right there, isn't it?

Your behavior towards established canon and characterization justifies my right to oppose your viewpoint. You might call this "adding to FE10", but I and others can just as well call it "Character Derailment".

There is no "wrong" side in these arguments, Anacybele. And thread derailment does not dismiss my own arguments.

Why does Lilina say "*laugh*" in 8x when Idoun's line in the Epilogue is changed to onomatopoeia?

What am I supposed to do, then? Lay down and take being ignored? I could put her on my ignore list, but that won't stop other people from humoring her.

That doesn't mean we can't deride it for being ridiculous and nonsensical. Same reason we're allowed to judge fanfiction. I mean, how or why would anyone believe a headcanon like that? And no matter what she says, she has NO RIGHT to just run away like that when she's losing! NO RIGHT!!!

You're contradicting yourself. You've stated before that you want Geoffrey and Calill paired up so that he wouldn't be alone at the same time as saying that he'd be incapable of getting over Elincia. You make things worse by visualizing Elincia and Geoffrey as marrying BEFORE she ditches him, and THEN you state that he would abdicate to Renning? That isn't just over-convoluted, it's outright nonsensical. The bare minimum anyone would do to justify that mad headcanon would be to make Geoffrey declare himself king in her absence, organize and lead a search party to find her, and then give Renning the crown in INTERIM. And this is the same world that has Sothe become king when he marries Micaiah. You can't do that; Crimea and Daein are both monarchies built off the same country! [citation needed] Which is why I said "unintentional". And I was talking about FE3, not FE11. I bring up the Caeda/Ogma parallel because that was a bodyguard-charge relationship like Ike/Elincia, except only Ogma had those feelings, and even then are essentially retroactive ones brought on by the FE12 DLC. He loves her, but is professional enough not to let that get him down, and fully supports her love towards Marth. As for Hardin/Nyna, it's coincidential enough for you to mention the whole "She only married him because politics", but what takes it further is you saying she'd feel Renning would make a better ruler, and abdicate to him. Nyna abdicated, yes, but that was because it was implied the Akaneian royal family was deemed sacrilege and stripped of divine right because its ruler destroyed the Shield of Seals to create the kingdom. She abdicated to Marth because he was given legitimate divine right, not because of her guilt over Hardin and Camus (though that was why she went into hiding). Your headcanon is an indirect insult to all of this. Furthermore, Renning is a horrible choice to take up the throne. He was the UNofficial heir to Crimea even before the Mad King's War, and was presumed dead at the start of it. In that time, Elincia established herself as the new monarch for three years. The sensible citizens loved her, she had the official support of her neighbouring countries, and those who dissented her were all stamped out after Part II of FE10. There is no reason for there to be any meaningful remnant Renning purists by the time that was all over, especially after how well she managed Begnion's march in 3-9 and 3-10, and was giving shelter and troops to Empress Sanaki immediately afterwards. And I'm not even going to mention your headcanon pairing him with Lucia. Also during that time, Geoffrey was managing primary command of Crimea's resistance to Daein's occupation, leading troops and sheltering prominent members of the aristocracy in Delbray. After the war, he took up Renning's mantle as Crimean general and supreme leader of the Crimean Royal Knights, conducting the rout of Ludveck's insurrectionists, and ending the banditry of Begnion's march through Crimea in 3-9. He'd have a large support base from the populace as king after those events, and is more than worthy of the mantle of king. Why would you object to that? That's not relevant in the slightest. You can't flee from this discussion just because you're losing, Anacybele. That's cowardly and disgusting. And even after all of this TL;DR, I STILL don't feel like I've done anything meaningful today. You're a low-hanging fruit on this website, and your history has proven that no matter how good the argument presented against yours is, you'll just dismiss it, end the conversation LIKE YOU HAVE JUST DONE, and somehow get off scot-free while everyone just keeps questioning why the heck you haven't been banned yet.

You're twisting the words. I did not specify that she left to have sex. I said that you claimed she would leave her country for her love of a man who sees himself as just amercenary hired to be her bodyguard. Not even the worst of fluff writers would have a queen abandon her country for her teenage crush and say they never even had sex. You're praising yourself for not driving into a ditch. That's like the "Participation Award" of fanfiction. What your headcanon does is unintentionally bring up parallels to Akaneia's Ogma/Caeda and Nyna/Hardin relationships, and they don't look too favorable towards you.

Um, aren't YOU saying that she'd leave Crimea for Ike?

Lowen only has 1 vote, and yet here you all are praising him.

According to a source I can't find at present, the Japanese script of 3-3 has Janaff say that Zelgius was "a notch above Mad King Ashnard".

I'm using Dolphin, and none of my codes are working. I posted a bunch from the internet, put it on AR, and activated them, and nothing happened. I used the Gecko function that auto-finds codes and activated them, but nothing happens. I don't need to activate all of them. Howeve, the codes for max weapon levels, perfect levelups and infinite BEXP are much appreciated. Also, is there a method of changing units' stats? Like giving Leonardo an actual HP stat?

I really couldn't find Lunatic or Lunatic+ either humanly possible or fun to play. Normal was almost as easy as FE8. Hard was very functional, though, but difficulty REALLY falls off after grinding, and not enough enemies have skills. What I was thinking of was to give the game an option to alter the difficulty level of a file mid-game, like with FPSs. It wouldn't be hard to program, you know. There could also me a marker for what difficulty every level was completed on that'd stay there for the rest of the file. If FE14 did this, I'd be pretty happy. Casual and Classic can stay as fixed decisions, though.

Okay then. Not judging you. Though personally, I invoke it when I just hear something outright ridiculous. For example, that above point with Zelda. It just offends me that the less technologically impressive games are all part of a kind of impossible and unforseeable outcome of OOT. It feels like the Zelda series retroactively making every game made before Ocarina of Time never existed and using that newly ripped plot hole as a dumpster. Or a more personal gripe of mine, FE10 claiming Zelgius is stronger than Ashnard.

Nintendo also told us that every last one of the 2D Zeldas all exist in a timeline where Ganon kills Link at the end of OOT. FE13 itself goes one step further and obliterates Archanea's world, putting a divine mountain on top of all Talys and claiming rabbit laguz existed during the events of FE3. I think it's an appropriate enough time to invoke Death of the Author.

Whoa. You're actually thinking that of Elincia?Wait a minute.... Oh my god. You haven't changed in 5 years, miss. No wonder you have that link on TVTropes.
