guardians_song: Ken Sugimori's concept art of the Pokemon starters, with the main characters and rival beside them. (kicking it oldschool)
guardians_song ([personal profile] guardians_song) wrote2012-09-17 08:57 pm

So, since my Dreamwidth f-list is pretty small right now...

Let's contemplate what would happened if infamous badficcer Cori Falls had been a Fire Emblem fan rather than a Pokemon fan.

FE6:
-Roy is a big evil meanie-pants who picks on Zephiel, who just wasn't loved enough as a child.
-Zephiel/Brunya, I suppose?
-A Jahn fangirl would have joined up with Cori and written her self-insert OC into a pairing with Jahn, who has mysteriously grown emotions. Well, he obviously has emotions, but "non-self-righteous ***hole" emotions, I mean.
-Desmond would be resurrected at least once to be put through an incredibly humiliating and undignified second death and everyone would remember this as The One Thing Cori Did Right.
-The Bern army would be a loving and benevolent place not at all focused on world conquest.
-At least one War Dragon of abnormal intelligence would be converted into a wise-cracking loudmouth obsessed with Zephiel and Brunya's sex life.
-The entire issue with Idoun would be completely whitewashed. That, or we'd find out she enjoyed being brainwashed. Or something.

Any other suggestions, Sarajayechan?I'll post FE7 and FE8 speculations later. :P

That's definitely more Cori-ish than standard-issue Seth/Eirika fluff pieces. XD And poor Ephraim...Innes, though, she'd definitely bash the shit out of him for his "I will win Eirika" comment.

Oh God, Cori's hypothetical rendition of the Nergal backstory. Poor Roland and Athos. :( Roland would be the jackass in the bar ordering ten glasses of ale and then hitting on every chick he could find. "HEEEEEEEEY BABY, WANNA SEE MY BIG GIANT SWOOOOOORD? what, you don't?! COME BACK HERE YOU BIIIITCH!"

I guess it's possible Cori would, instead of the benevolent-ghost thing, redo the final battle so that Nils somehow remembers everything all of a sudden and pulls a "I Know You're In There Somewhere" Fight on Nergal, whereupon Nergal breaks free of the darkness through the power of love... I'm trying so hard not to break down laughing over here... and then does the entire My God What Have I Done thing. If Cori was as fond of Star Wars as she was of LOTR, I'd say it would be a sure thing. ...I GUESS it would still be a possibility, since she could draw a One Ring analogy. Oh dear.

I can see that, too. XD God, that would be the funniest thing ever! And Hector would scream NOOOOO HE'S EEEEEEEEEVIL until Eliwood OOCly bitchslapped him and cussed a blue streak. "HOW FUCKING DARE YOU SAY THAT, HE'S A NICE MAN! YOU FUCKING FUCKASS, I'LL CUT YOUR SHITTY FUCKING BALLS OFF WITH YOUR OWN GODDAMN FUCKING AXE!"

You're... er... talking about Two Angels by TheOneAndOnlyT, I take it? *shifty eyes* I admit to cutting TheOneAndOnlyT's fics loads of slack because the very first time I visited fanfiction.net was when I clicked a link to his (?) Eliwood/Ninian story, but... uh, yes. I'll admit that one wasn't terribly IC...

Yeah. >.> It's okay, I couldn't stand his earlier stuff because of all the melodrama, but last I saw he'd improved a lot with his writing. Two Angels, though...just rubbed me the wrong way.

Poor Kent and Fiora. :/ Their supports have them falling for each other on their own merits, not as each other's sloppy seconds.

Random Member of the Army: Where WERE Eliwood and Ninian all battle? I kept looking for them, but...
Nils: *stiffly* They were increasing their support level.
Random Member of the Army: But the battle went on for FOUR HOURS!
Nils: *even more stiffly* Yes. They were increasing it for four hours straight.


HAHAHAHAHAHA oh dear. And Cori would be the most obsessive matchmaker!tactician ever.

Also, anytime certain characters killed a boss or went up against an old friend or something like that Cori would milk the post-victory collapse and possible post-victory guilt for all it was worth. Nino killing Sonia or the remaining Reed brother, Florina killing Migal in chapter 3, Ninian fighting off those Fire Dragons, Lyn vs. Lundgren, etc.

Ooh, good point. And he'd probably end up with either a wimpified Vanessa or a Mary Sue.

OH GOD YES. And she'd have Aenir with a human form to gloss over the human/dragon babymaking, but she'd still be an Obvious Dragon and all the angst and drama and weeping and her being bullied.

YES and Elimine would be one of the Libbies who picked on Aenir, too

That's why I edited, lol.

Aah. See I never noticed the pointed ears, only the pale hair and skin and red eyes.

(Ohhh dear. Yeah, I like to imagine she did. Because how would sex even WORK? Even without the interpecies angle she's still way bigger than him...)

Roland, Embodiment of Evil With An EEEEEEVIL Sword
Athos, Cruel Meanie Who Never Cared About Nergal's FEEEELINGS
St. Elimine, Bigoted Wench With No Appreciation Of Wicca
Barigan, Raging Pervert (old joke from the GameFAQs board, if I remember correctly - he founded a country filled with hot girls whose jobs require them to wear miniskirts)
Brammimond, The Magic Parrot (again, old joke...)
Durbans, Clearly An Ancestor Of Ash Ketchum (he lives for battle... think about it [through Cori-vision]...)
Hanon, Unfortunate Native American Stereotype she would totally miss that the Sacaeans bear a certain resemblance to the Mongols...
Harmut, A Good Guy Wrongly Influenced By His Evil Friends (since, after all, he spared Idoun)


Roland, Athos and Elimine would be the Unholy Trio Of Evil who everyone ends up rooting for when they read Cori's fics. XD And YES, Durban would be another Ash Ketchum clone. Who didn't know how to speak proper sentences. "ME FIGHT! ME KILL YOU! AAAAAUUUUUGH!" And Hartmut would totally be her favorite.

...Come to think of it, if she got her hands on a copy of the FE6 script before she finished 'redoing' FE7, she'd probably contrive some canon-breaking sidequest wherein Eliwood trades in Durandal for the Sword of Seals, since Cori was nothing if not fond of stuffing ALL THE TOYS!!11! in her pet characters' hands. (And since the Sword of Seals doesn't kill Idoun, she'd deem it automatically better than that wretched Durandal that temporarily slaughtered her FE7 main pairing.)

I can see that. She's fond of bending the rules to better suit her pets, after all.

...She'd ship Roy/Idoun, wouldn't she? And fob Lilina off on Gonzales. Eek...

Actually, I feel like she'd ship a reformed Jahn with Idoun and Roy/Lilina, because he OMG RESCUES HER!!! and she cries in his arms when he tells her about her father. ...wait, Cori hates Hector. So Hector probably treated Lilina like dirt for not having a penis.

...ooh, good point. :/ In that case she'd make Jahn act like Jessie's ex Antonio, even MORE abusive than he was in canon. Not only did he break Idoun's spirit, but he'd have hit her and called her names and tried to rape her.

I know, right? So many choices, each as horrible as the last.

True. Jahn isn't exactly a Good Guy, so Cori wouldn't have to twist canon THAT much. Just add onto it.

Wanna bet she also redeems Desmond in FE7 and has him killed by Jahn in order to manipulate Zephiel?

[personal profile] sarajayechan 2012-09-19 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
*nod* I was just thinking of Cori's love for Generation Xerox and how her heroes Must Never Kill Anyone, and her love of redeeming abusive parents (not only James's, but she also redeems Joey's dad in her YGO fics). In my mind it could go either way, but it would be interesting to see how Cori handled something outside her usual cookie-cutter patterns.

Yep. She's like Catherine Anderson, only at least Catherine seems like a kind woman and uses her OWN characters for her stories instead of mangling other canons.

Oh God, Ninian cursing. Worst mental image ever. D: Totally. Or Farina giving birth to Lilina!

She would have frickin' CHARTS. 'Let's see, Nino's taken by Jaffar, so Erk must go with Priscilla - which is good, since it's her only happy ending anyway. On the subject of Priscilla, since I found out Lucius wasn't a girl, he and Raven are only VERY GOOD FRIENDS - obviously he's been sent to heal Serra's wounded soul, and, despite his usual gentleness, beat up on Oswin for DARING to disapprove of Serra and make her cry. Oswin can go jump in a creek anyway, since he likes that wretched Hector. I had Leila just be very very very close to dead rather than dead, having used a secret Plot Device Poti- uh, super-secret assassin potion to give the APPEARANCE of death, that's it - so she's still with Matthew, so he's taken care of... Heath is healing Vaida's soul, and Dorcas is with Natalie, and... damnit, was Lowen or Sain the one I picked out for Rebecca, again? Or was it Wil? This game is so complicated....'

AHAHAHAHAHA oh God that's priceless. See, I always had Cori pegged as an Erk/Serra or Heath/Priscilla shipper, but once I got to thinking about Heath/Vaida the more I realized THAT is a ship Cori would sink her claws into what with her penchant for wimpifying badass women. And she would SO use Serra and Lucius's supports to "disprove" Raven/Lucius. She might actually respect Oswin, though, since he does call Hector out an awful lot. Not sure what she'd do about Florina and Farina.

I also wondered if she would like Sain or not, since he's such a huge flirt.

Oh GAD, I can just imagine. And Limstella would, with her dying breath, weep over the true love for Ephidel that she felt but never had the courage to admit. And you just know she'd write angsty WYDS-ficlets for every single Kishuna chapter. And...

LOL, pretty much. And of course she'd ignore the fact that the morphs have no genders. ...poor Kishuna, hasn't he already been through enough? ;_;

Oh God, FE6. Hector's death would be the only thing she didn't erase. And she'd either redeem Roy later on when he got smarter, or bash him six ways from Sunday and make someone else the True Hero. And have them sweep Lilina off her feet.

AHAHAHAHA oh God. PRICELESS. I almost want fic of that now.

She might. Wil/Florina was the popular alt. het ship for a while, but if Wil is being saved for Rebecca...or she could ship Florina/Lowen! They can nurse each other's bad self esteem and he'd make her Pheraen Toast!

True. XD

oh God WORSE IMAGE EVER XDDDD You're horrible sometimes, you know that?

...oh shit. YOU'RE RIGHT. But in my mind it could go one of two ways:

1) Lilina is a carbon copy of her dad and is an entitled bitch who bashes Idoun for earning Roy's love.
2) She's better than her dad was, and wangsts about how she comes from an evil bastard and wonders how Roy could ever loooove her.

Ohhh yeah. And Raven would be the evil bastard trying to keep Erk and Priscilla apart and mistreating Priscilla until Erk SUMMONED HIS MIGHTY MAGIC POWERS and roasted Raven like pheasant.

...oh God. YES. And she'd also let Canas and his wife LIVE so they could be ~good parents~ to their son and then he wouldn't become a mercenary because that's Dirty Work. Poor Niime. XD

Yep. And people would treat it like it was all a joke, too.

Totally. D:

ACTUALLY I JUST HAD A THOUGHT :O Lilina could still get off easily if Cori retconned Hector into an abusive dad. She has no problem destroying canonically close relationships into crappy ones to suit her own needs (like Brock and Misty going from being Ash's best friends to staying with him out of pity and obligation, or Professor Oak going being Ash's mentor and father figure to telling him to "shut the hell up"). Plus, Uther is the opposite of Hector in every way so he could be the FE equivalent to James's magical Wiccan grandparents.

Hector: Brother, what's with the purple robes and weird book?
Uther: SILENCE, TWERP! This is Wicca, and it's more enlightened than you and your evil Elimine-ism!
Hector: ...I don't practice ANY religion. :P

I keep seeing Cori as a Roy/Lilina shipper because of the emotional scenes in chapter 8, plus Lilina being a distressed damsel for a time. But Idoun fits that role just as well and Roy DOES save her, so...yeah. Could go either way!
