#b support

Anonymous Requested:  Honestly baffled that considering how much Petra likes to learn about other cultures, she doesn’t have supports with Dedue. That pair has such potential (would love C-A plus a paired ending)

Location: Greenhouse

OST: A Gentle Breeze

*Dedue is quietly tending to some flowers, quietly humming to himself. He suddenly stops and perks up*

Dedue: Hello Petra.

*Petra comes into view*

Petra: Hello Dedue! I am being surprised that you were of the able to hear me.

Dedue: It was not your sounds. It was your smell.

Petra: Ah, I have understanding. And what smell am I of?

Dedue, after considering for a moment: Cedar, if I had to choose.

Petra: Ah, thank you! I am of enjoying the smell of cedar.

Dedue, slightly confused: You... are welcome. *he turns to return to his work*

Petra: In truth, I was not of the intent to hide from you. I was fascinated by your song. It was such a beautiful tune.

Dedue: ...I see.

Petra: Is something the wrong?

Dedue: No.

Petra: Then... may I request what that song was?

Dedue: Of course... It... it is a Duscur folk song from my youth.

Petra: Ah. You never are of the speaking much of Duscur, Dedue. Why is this?

Dedue, an edge in his voice.: It is not something I wish to talk about.

Petra: Ah, I see. I apologize for the trouble, Dedue.

*Petra leaves*

Dedue: ...I should not have become sharp with her...

Location: The Library

OST: Respite and Sunlight

*Petra is in the library, paging through a book when Dedue comes in*

Petra: Ah, Dedue! I am joyous to be seeing you again.

Dedue: Indeed.

Petra: May I be asking what you are doing here?

Dedue: I... wished to apologize. I should not have become cross with you in the greehouse.

Petra: I am giving forgiveness. There is nothing to be of the apologizing for. I understand you are not of the wishing to speak of Duscur.

Dedue: Thank you, Petra. It is still... painful... to speak of it.

Petra: I am having understanding.

*Dedue gives a quick grateful smile*

Dedue: May I... ask what you are reading?

Petra: Ah! Yes. I was trying with great hardness to find the name of you song from the Greenhouse. 

Dedue: I see. Had you any luck?

Petra: I have not. There are many books about Duscur’s history, but none that are speaking of its culture. Its music and treadition.

Dedue: You will find none.

Petra: I am having understanding. The Imperial Library of Enbarr was similar in regards to Brigid. They speak of our wars and our rebellions, but not our religions and our beliefs.

Dedue: Indeed. Harder to fight your enemy when they are more than words on a page.

Petra: Perhaps if more people were the knowing of our people’s ways, they would want to fight us less?

Dedue: I cannot say, Petra. There is no undoing what was done.

Petra: I am the having understanding. But, Dedue, if I may. May I hear your song again?

Dedue: Of course. But... I do not know the words.

Petra: That is being alright. The tune is more than enough.

Location: Chapel

OST: Recollection and Regret

*Dedue is standing before the ruins at the front of the chapel, silently contemplating, when Petra approaches him*

Petra: Dedue! It is such of a relief knowing you are well.

Dedue: Thank you, Petra. It was a near thing, many times.

Petra: I am having gladness. And, I had a present to be returning to you.

*She hands him a few pages of sheet music*

Dedue: This... this is the song. But... it has the words? And the title?

Petra: Yes. I wondered that you might wish to have the whole thing.

Dedue: Petra, where in Fodlan did you find this?!

Petra: During the war, one of my roads was of taking me to Duscur. I spoke to many old and wise of Duscur, learning of your ways, and eventually I put the song together.

Dedue: I... I thought this lost to me.

OST Change: Somewhere to Belong

Petra: I am being of the understanding that this is a lullaby?

Dedue: Yes... it is. My.... my mother would sing it to me at night, when I was upset or frightened..

Petra: I am the seeing.

Dedue: She... died in the tragedy. I could not remember the words or the substance of the song. Only the tune remained to me.

*A tear falls on the sheet music and Dedue realizes he is crying*

Dedue: I- thank you Petra. This is worth more to me than all the gold in Fodlan. Is... is there anything I can do for you, in turn?

Petra: No. I am the seeing that Brigid was very fortunate. The Empire did little to attack our culture, or our history as the Kingdom did with Duscur.

Dedue: Yes. ...They didn’t simply want to kill us. The Knights. They wanted to eliminate our ways, our culture, our history. They did not want destruction. They wanted annihilation.

Petra: Dedue... I would be the liking to help you restore these things. They are still there, I was of the seeing them. They must be put back together.

Dedue: Petra, I would be honored to have your aid.

Paired Ending: The Benevolent Soul and the Queen of Brigid

There is a lot wrong in the official translation. First of Sylvain's talk of "Crest babies" is not present in the original. Also he stumbles a lot more in Japanese while in English version he's really smooth with words.

In Japanese after Mercedes says she doesn't care about birthline, just Sylvain himself, Sylvain answers in literally "Those words kill me".

Then he talks about Crests. In English he is just chill about the whole thing??? While here in Japanese Sylvain opens up and is implying he has been target of sexual harassment. The wording is also concerning. "Women swarm around me like ants."

And then he realizes that Mercedes has been listening to everything and nearly breaks down, so Mercedes lightens up the mood and by the end they are joking around.

Yes, Sylvain's final words are most likely a joke, because he suddenly changes speech style from casual to formal in Japanese (desu/masu). It's something pretty dramatic and I could have tried to translate it in to the first line like so "I shall promise to save you". But I couldn't think away to say "let's get married" all formal. But it's a fun detail.

So I am in a music class and the first project is to just play with the effects and audio tracks. Layering all that. I’m not a musician.. So I decided to do dialogue. So I did the B and C Support for Owain and (F)Morgan! I voiced all the dialogue, and just went ham with all the sound fx.

Rather proud of this~ And I got a perfect score on it! [despite my horrible acting on Owain...]

Tana and Cormag discuss their feelings about the war.

Maribelle shuffled through the papers again, trying to piece everything together in her mind. The past few days, she’d mostly secluded herself from the rest of the army, save for checking on the medical tent and a conversation here and there with Lissa.

Thankfully, no one bothered to disturb her. After all, a few days prior her childhood friend had passed away...Though the sting was harsh, she’d been coping with it, partially by distracting herself with her current task.

She sighed, scanning the transcripts once more. Everything was so solid, unwavering...aside from one detail. It had her suspicious, and had brought her to a conclusion she felt would be extremely important.

Putting the papers away, she stood, taking a deep breath and a moment to compose herself. She had to stay focused.

Maribelle stepped outside, blinking a few times to help herself adjust to the light. She started heading for the medical tent. It was still a bit early, a light chill in the air. Though she was thankful for that-- the cold calmed her nerves, and that meant everyone was still asleep...

She entered the medical tent quietly, fully intending to check on Gaius’ status before returning to her own for solitude again. However, the noblewoman froze when her eyes met his...he was awake, and sitting up. Despite previously wanting more time alone, part of her was relieved. He was conscious. She really had saved him.

@zum1udontno asked: An interesting thing about Hubert is, he only has supports the Black Eagles, various faculty members, and Byleth. Which makes sense, considering 1) he's only available past the timeskip in one route and 2) he's not the most approachable. But I still think it's a shame that he and Mercedes didn't get any supports together, given their shared interest in darker subjects. Could you please do up to A support with them? We got robbed of the sunbeam and the shadow becoming friends.

Location: Stables

OST: Funny Footsteps

*Mercedes is approaching the stables*

Mercedes: Ah, what a wonderful day! I should walk the horses a bit, let them have some sun and fun today.

*Mercedes hears something*

Mercedes: Oh? What’s this?

*Mercedes enters the stalls to see Hubert by a pegasus*

Hubert: Hmm... a magnificent beast to be certain.

Mercedes: OH, is that Hubert?

Hubert, not seeming to notice her: T’would be a thrill to ride you. The freedom, the speed.

Mercedes: Oh Hubert! If you wish to ride Sancho, we could arrange something.

Hubert: Gah- Mercedes! What are you doing here?

Mercedes: Oh, I was just coming to give the horses some time to breath. It’s such a wonderful day today, it seems a shame to waste it cooped up inside.

Hubert: I see. Well, do as you will.

Mercedes: OH! But what about you Hubert? Wouldn’t you like to ride Sancho here? Or perhaps one of the other Pegasi?

Hubert: NO! *clears his throat* I mean, whatever gave you such a foolish idea?

Mercedes: You, just now.

Hubert: I don’t know what you think you heard, but it means nothing. Now, I shall be on my way.

*Hubert leaves*

Mercedes: Why is Hubert so against people knowing he wants to fly? It’s very strange.

OST: Respite and Sunlight

*Hubert is standing before the fire, contemplating, when Mercedes comes up to him*

Hubert: Mercedes, and why would you be here?

Mercedes: Oh this? I was just wondering if you would be interested in playing a game with me?

Hubert, suddenly interested: A game?

Mercedes: Oh yes, of chess!

Hubert: I see. And why are you interested in losing so badly?

Mercedes: Well, I was thinking we should attach a bet to it! If you win, I’ll do your chores for a month.

Hubert: Really now? And why would that interest me?

Mercedes: Umm... well... you’ll have more time to research your spellwork?

Hubert: Hmm... there is one hex I’ve been meaning to master... Very well, we shall have our game.

Mercedes: Oh wonderful! And If I win, I’d like you to take a ride on one of our pegasi.

Hubert, a bit nervous: Oh, well, it is fortunate then you have chosen my strongest game. Shall we begin?

*Fade to black*

*Fade back in*

Hubert: How... how can this be!?

Mercedes: And that’s checkmate Hubert!

Hubert: How? How could you- What witchcraft?!

*Hubert slumps and gives a great sigh*

Hubert: Very well. I shall.. *audible gulp* ride one of the beasts.

Mercedes: Oh wonderful! I’ll find a suitable mount for you.

*Mercedes is by the stables when Hubert approaches her*

Hubert: Ah, Mercedes.

Mercedes: Hello there Hubert! What are you up to today?

Hubert: I, ah, I was coming here to fulfill our bet.

Mercedes: Our... oh! That little thing. We never did get around to settling it, did we?

Hubert: Indeed not. So... which shall be my mount.

Mercedes: Oh, Hubert. It’s been so long and so much has happened. I wouldn’t hold you to it after all this time.

Hubert: No. I- I wish to do it. I want to... I want to ride at least once. I’ve... I’ve always wanted to be a Pegasus Knight.

Mercedes: Really? Why didn’t you pursue it?

Hubert: I am terrified of heights.

Mercedes: Oh. Well, That makes sense. It’s perfectly natural to be terrified of something and want it at the same time.

Hubert: Heh. Perhaps.

Mercedes: Well, let’s get Sancho all saddled up! It’s time for Hubert to fly.

Hubert: Oh damn, what have I signed up for?

*fade to black*

Hubert: ah- AH!

Mercedes: You’re doing wonderfully Hubert!

Hubert: Oh my, have those trees always spun like that?!

Mercedes: A little lighter on the reins, Hubert!

Hubert: AHHH!

*Fade back in*

Mercedes: I’m so proud of you Hubert! You did so well for your first time.

Hubert: Ah, yes! It seems I have. 

Mercedes: Was it as magical as you were hoping?

Hubert: No. It was an absolute nightmare. I intend never to do it again.

Hinoka and Azura's End of B support, and Start of A support.

Hinoka has some skill at craft, which I hope shows up again, as that is pretty cool. Also, I like how hapoy they are to be sisters (still upset that Azura and Camilla can't support).
