    Non-Pokémon Unnecessary Feelings [Fire Emblem]

    Heyo! This is a dumb shippy drabble I wrote for a zine, it involves the Gamecube and Wii Fire Emblem games, crack, and angst. It probably should be longer but I had to fit it into four pages and with my writing style that isn't much. Fair warning however, that suicide-related topics come up...

    Pokémon Places We Call Home

    Chapter 4 Review! I am. Very slow. And I didn't read much else due to lack of energy. But at least I got to read the ~revised version!~ I wanna star out by saying your writing has a lot of charm. A lot of moments here just made me smile. But a bullet pointing of my Opinions on Events: -Nip's...

    30 (formerly 28). Who’s important in your world? For this, I have decided to zero in on one adventuring party in particular, plus one that will touch their lives. (TIME TO TALK ABOUT THE MOTHERFUCKING CHARACTERS) (Iggy) An enthusiastic fire dragon, with one goal: amass a party of adventurers...

    29 (formerly 30). What is the cycle of life and death in your world? New children are born via either live birth or eggs depending on the species and raised and nurtured to adulthood from there. How aging works depends wildly on species but only celestials, elementals, and deities are truly...

    28 (formerly 29). How do people communicate with each other in your world? When face to face, talking. Telepathy is possible with some species and skilled magic users and can be used to talk privately or break language barriers. Scrying can be used to communicate long distances with long...

    27. How do people get around in your world? The vast majority of the time, by walking. Some fly, if they are able. Beasts of burden are the next most popular form of transportation, whether ridden or pulling carriages. Teleportation magic exists, and is used plenty, but can be unwieldy unless...

    26. What sorts of art exist in your world? Portraits and sculptures of deities, historical figures, and public figures are most common. Abstract and landscape art is also common. Underwater species are more limited in what art they can create, and thus rely mostly on sculpture and collage...

    25. What do people carry with them on a daily basis in your world? Food, water, a weapon or two, and anything they'd need to do their jobs. Some carry a favorite game or toy for when bored. Sales of bags to carry it all are high, and these are often colorful. (I'm debating if I should make...

    24. What places are still unexplored in your world? There are various floating islands, left by the Grigori, a species long gone for reasons not even the gods know. They are guarded by various strange creatures, including ones known as Cogwing Guardians, that try to keep any visitors out...

    23. What’s the sky like in your world? During the day, it's blue or gray like usual. However at night it becomes easy to see Klidi's life-filled and inhabited moons. Moon watching is popular among couples.

    22. What do people do for fun in your world? Toys, board games, and tabletop games of all sorts are popular with all the residents of Klidi. Sports exist but are usually not organized. Magic-based sports and games also exist, but must be more carefully refereed - the flexible nature of magic...

    21. What do people do for work in your world? The vast majority of lower class Klidi residents are farmers, fishers, hunters, or food producers of some sort, either as their main job or on the side. The other jobs that exist are mostly there because they are viewed to be essential to either...

    20. What sorts of weapons & armor are used in your world? Metal plate armor is most common, but how much it covers the body tends to vary. Weapons tend to be bladed or piercing - swords, daggers, lances, axes, arrows. This does not stop the occasional hammer or ballista user. And of course...

    19. How are wars fought in your world? Massive armies, typically multispecies, clash on big battlefields, with carnage everywhere. Drafting is common in more corrupt nations, and many have died in defense of things they do not stand for. The good news is that Klidi has existed in relative peace...

    18. What is clothing and fashion like in your world? The clothing corresponds to what I mentioned about the history - mostly like the middle ages of the Earths, with some forward and backward anachronism. Upper class trends fancy coats, dresses, cloaks and robes, while lower class trends...

    17. What’s medicine and healthcare like in your world? Healing magic is the main form of "medicine" in Klidi. Other forms of medical care exist just in case but they are a fallback, not the first solution. Most citizens know how to cure cuts and bruises on their own, and healing magic is...

    16. What magic exists in your world? Magic is omnipresent. Everywhere. And anyone can use it. Sure, some beings are better at certain kinds of magic than others, and some beings have particular forms of magic built into their biology, but any sapient creature can harness and control it. It is...

    15. What technology is used in your world? On a scale of high to low tech, Klidi leans fairly low. The exact Earths history level is hard to peg but it trends middle ages, with some forward and background anachronism on a small scale. As I said before, it has stayed this way for a long time...

    13. What flora covers your world? Again a mix of the mundane and fantastical. Many plants are used for healing and remedies not possible on most Earths, and a mix of plant-based medicine and magic is often used for transitioning. There are rumors of giant, vicious carnivorous plants in some...
