I think I’ll force myself to swap Alfred to another class, maybe Berserker, but swapping any of the dragons off of their Dragon classes just feels wrong, especially when they have unique weapons and the Emblems have nice synergies with Dragon classes… if I do it’ll be Rafal, maybe Alear for a bit.

Declan @declan.xipha.social · 7h

The issue with having so many lords and and dragons on my team in FE Engage is I want to leave them on their special classes instead of swapping them into any of the other classes where I’d have a have a more unique run.

I’ve had something that’s been stressing me out for ages, and mainly the reason it was stressing me was because I should’ve done it ages ago, but the further it got from when it should’ve been done, the more stress I felt about it and the harder it was to start.

Finally got it done today…

Happy birthday!

Morag 💙 Brighid! 🏳️‍🌈

#xenobladechronicles #fanart #pridemonth

An illustration of Mòrag Ladair and Brighid from the video game Xenoblade Chronicles 2. They're standing in the ocean waters, clear from the Cloud Sea that was there initially. They're standing awfully close to each other, holding hands and preparing for a kiss. Morag is wearing a black swimsuit that has a net pattern in the torso. Brighid is wearing a light blue one piece suit that has some rose patterns on it, along with having the zipper down to reveal her chest as well as her core crystal. Behind them in the background has high hovering clouds surrounding the World Tree.

Happy Pride Month, everyone! :D I hope all of you enjoy this month, because you all are the best and deserve love. I thought I'd celebrate through drawing a ship that I really like, along with celebrating my LGBTQ friends that I love with all my heart.

My custom keychains came in!!! - Got them in Japanese and English! The Daybreak 2 logo looks amazing with this design!!

Declan @declan.xipha.social · 2d

They’re drawn with all the glory of expressions I enjoyed in Horimiya—I can’t get over how much I love the art style!

I’d love to hear any thoughts from others who read this first chapter!

Declan @declan.xipha.social · 2d

bring into focus that Umi is a minor even more than it is already, so it really needs to be handled with care for any hope.

I love the art so far and I’m really happy to get to read another series from Hagiwara Daisuke! The characters are super fun and I’m already growing to like them!

Declan @declan.xipha.social · 2d

a relationship begins. There’s only so much I can say from the first chapter in this regard though. In the end, my stance is that I’m not very open to this ship, but I really want to be made to like it and hope the series goes the right way (in my perspective). Shouya being an eromangaka will really

Declan @declan.xipha.social · 2d

until the younger is an adult or there’s been considerable pushback, I’m more open to it. If the older initiates, alarms start ringing.

So far, this series seems like the former, thank Aidios. Given Umi’s presently 16, I hope we have a bit of a timeskip at some point after this reunion before

Declan @declan.xipha.social · 2d

defense of them separating for a lengthy period of time after Shouya left home for college and reuniting for a second “meeting,” but that’s not a Get Away Free card.

Finally, I also look at how the feelings emerge. If the younger has feelings first and the older doesn’t reciprocate them in any way

Declan @declan.xipha.social · 2d

if they met when the older was say 16 and the younger 12, even if the story commences when they’re 17/21. There’s a line where the older should still see them as a “child” for a long time. For this story, it’s losing a lot of points for them meeting when she was pretty dang young. It does have the
