OK. So, with Challenge 008 all over 'cept the voting (for me, anyway), I can turn my thoughts to again to Challenge 010: Mary Sue.
Haven't written much lately-- not of this, not of anything else-- but I must say that the effort put into writing an intentional Mary Sue feels kind of... weird. And I keep having the temptation to put all the key plot elements of the Eirika/Saleh Spawn!Sue into "real" FE8 stories. Argh.
Was in a discussion with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
myaru over on her place about the Tellius saga and the treatment of good, evil, humans, and non-humans in those games (short story: I make a muddled attempt to explain why I'm OK with FE dragons but not most fictional dragons and definitely not with furries laguz). And we got into duality and trinities and mythical archetypes and their use in Fire Emblem, which leads me back to my favorite FE-verse and what the point of it all is.
( Some Thoughts on the Father, the Daughter, and the Unholy Xane ).
I'm not really going anywhere with this. I'm just trying to work out some issues in FE3/12 that have nothing to do with "what the hell did they do to my favorite characters?" Feel free to jump in with meta, hypotheses, and crackpot ideas.
