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

Ahahaha oh God. XD I once came up with a list of how Cori would totally fuck up my favorite FE games. I forgot most of it, but...

FE4: She'd turn Sylvia and Tiltyu from happy cheery girls with some hidden angst into fragile wilting flowers who cried at the drop of a hat. She'd warp Azel from a timid, overly polite moe boy into a knight in shining armor who didn't hesitate to get violent with anyone who so much as looked at Tiltyu wrong. Brigid or Ayra would have an Abusive Ex in their past, because no woman can be tough without having been abused in the past. Whoever she favored in the Finn/Lachesis/Beowulf triangle would be glorified, and the loser would be turned into a perverted dick.

FE6: I approve of the Desmond idea, lol. She'd probably be a major Fir/Noah shipper, too.

FE7: She'd probably be okay with the heroes, or at least Eliwood because he's probably mature enough for her tastes. She'd probably latch onto Heath as her precious woobie because he was a "good person forced to make bad choices" and her OTP would be Heath/Priscilla...or worse, Heath/Vaida, in which she warped Vaida into a simpering maiden who was abused in the past. Not sure who she'd hate...probably Guy because he wants To Be A Master.

FE8: Franz/Amelia, definitely. Franz is the kind of adorable moe boy she could twist into a boring knight in shining armor. She'd probably bash Ephraim for half her story arc, then redeem him when she got to the later part of the game. Colm or Rennac would be her punching bag for the rest of the stories.

[personal profile] sarajayechan 2012-09-18 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh dear, that Orson/Monica image... XD

For FE8, she miiight latch onto Lyon and have him be a Manly Knight In Shining Armor possessed against his will by the Demon King, and have him saved in the end by the power of Eirika's True Love. Remember, she tended to latch onto main characters, bringing in minor characters for minions.

OH GOD HOW DID I MISS THAT. I always picture Cori as a Seth/Eirika shipper, but I never considered Lyon as an easy target for her BS.

Ohhhh yeah, Nergal would be a Nice Boss after chapter 19xx. Instead of using Ninian to kill Elbert he'd go WHAT HAVE I DONE, embrace his children and join the gang. And YES, Hector would be the designated Bad Guy, considering he canonically rejects Jaffar's efforts at redemption. Cue Jaffar giving many self-righteous OOC speeches about how he's HUMAAAAAN and Hector is A BRAIN-DEAD JERK. And she would ruin Nino/Jaffar worse than one fic I read ages ago.

I can see her temporarily demonizing Fiora, then giving her an angst-filled redemption and tossing her to Kent, who was busy angsting over his unrequited love for Lyn. And ugh, she would totally piss and moan about Lyn/Florina and shame fans for shipping it. "How can anyone be SO MEAN as to say Lyn is gay!!"

Poor Nils. ;_; The thought of Ninian getting it on with ANYONE would squick the hell out of him normally.

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?

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.

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.
