I just wanted to say....I miss the game so much 😭 and I'm wondering when it's returning. That's it that's all. I love your work and the story and take care of yourself
Bye ❣️
Um, hi. I know it's been a while, but I'm still here!
First off, thank you so much for the kind messages and encouragement, and I promise I haven't been ignoring the messages. Like before, I just didn't want to post the same thing over and over again. Don't worry, I've got my own mom stressing me almost every day asking when I'm finally going to be done with this. I want it done as much as everyone else. 😖
So to tide @bexotto and everyone else over while I continue working on the update, I'll be sharing the game's change log so you can all see what's new and what I've accomplished all this time. I actually would've shared it already, but the change log got so long and convoluted that I STILL have to clean it up and double check everything. There's actually a lot of things in there that I thought was already added in the last update. That's how long it is. 😅
That said, I actually got sick a couple of times again since I last posted (I know, I know), but I'll need a couple of days or so to actually share the PARTIAL change log. Because of course there's still a lot of things I need to work on. When I share it, I'll also be making a poll on whether I should finish everything first or if I should just try to get the update out asap and leave the other stuff for later.
Thanks for being patient with me. 😊
I don't have a Patreon, but I am planning to set up a Ko-fi account soon. Maybe I'll do that in the future, but at this point I don't really feel like I deserve it until I finally finish the update. But thank you!

In ibispaint-ish style i mean the quality?? I can tell what app a person uses based on the brushes, or quality, and i wanted to see your art in ibispaint, so sorry for the shtty explanation:')), i jus wanna see if your artstyle was compatible or possible to recreate in ibis🥲🥲
oh man sorry for the late reply but I did used to draw using Ibis paint X) now im not used to it- but I think it can be compatible or there is a tutorial out there about watercolor in ibis paint! Ill make sure to reblog reply it here when I found it ദ്ദി(｡•̀ ,<)~✩‧₊
Are Julie, Maggie, and MC’s father humans? Or are they a different species? Sorry if this is too spoilers!
Hello, apologies if I took a long while to answer your question, but I guess I have a good excuse, since Dear Diary MC will now have the option to choose their Ancestry Traits in the next update!
So to answer your question: not necessarily!
MC can have human, elven, orcish, dwarven, halfling, gnomish, goblin, draconic, or fae ancestry. And depending on their favorite genre, they can also be a demigod, or have werewolf/vampire/nephilim/cambion heritage.
Do note that I specifically mention "heritage" and "ancestry" as the exact specifics are another spoilery matter entirely (and may change later in development anyway).
With all the new changes in development, IAC needs a complete rewrite (not just edits), so unfortunately rewriting IAC is now a lower priority for me, especially because certain details might change in the future again. But everything in IAC still holds up for the most part!

The more people complain about self inserts in Fire Emblem the more evident it becomes that they're not holding the "not self insert" main characters (in FE games that don't have a self insert) not even halfway to the same standard
Sorry for the late reply anon, I tried to type something, then forgot, then retyped but wasn't satisfied, and they forgot again etc etc
For your answer -
I cannot really say I agree, because while some MC can be irritating and annoying and be seen as the second coming of Jesus in their respective verses (Ike) - the issue is mostly prevalent in recent games with avatars, especially in FE16.
Take Minerva.
She switches side because Marth'n'pals rescue Maria, not because Marth is really really rad. Minerva has strong bonds with the Whitewings, especially Palla.
Palla isn't fridged somewhere to make Minerva support Marth, or tell everyone how much of a great guy he is, Minerva can bounce off Palla, Maria and Michalis.
Sigurd? Is the protagonist of FE4, and how boys does it deserve him. All of his allies die, and I remember pointing it out in my LP, while Seliph and F!Lewyn all put the blame on Sigurd's allies's deaths on Sigurd himself, that's a load of crap. Quan died because Travant attacked, Eldie died because Chagall was a douche. Lewyn would most likely have died due to his uncles, or Arvis invading the land.
Claude (the FE4 one!) was branded a traitor and marked to die the second he went to Orgahill and learnt it wasn't Byron who killed Prince Kurth, but Langobalt'n'Reptor.
Did Briggid join Sigurd's quest because Sigurd is awesome, or because Aidean asked her to help them - and Siggy's group helped her against her former bandit friends?
Seliph is seen by everyone as the messiah - but he feels like he is usurping this role, because he is no Messiah, he just is the "Son of". Nonetheless, if this is the role the people of Jugdral need him to play/embrace, then he will do it. Seliph doesn't trounce people right and left with his awesome weapon, hell, Arvis is the one to give him Tyrfing.
Ephraim? Deconstruct the Chad Lord trope - it is (partly) because he was such a chad that Lyon turned to evil forces in hopes to impress him - post FE8!Ephraim is a mess. The strongest and chadest of all princes to have ever chaded out there couldn't protect his father, his country nor save his best friend.
Funny thing, Ephraim doesn't recruit everyone in FE8; Eirika recruits people too and is closer to the "future lords of Magvel" than Ephraim will ever be (Joshua gets his "true" ending on Erika's route, seeing his mom, and Innes sided with her instead of Leeroying Jenkinsing in Grado with Ephraim).
For all of the orange sucking FE15 had, Alm might be teh Hero (tm) but he is not the alpha and omega of every character - let Mathilda die and Clive will stop worshiping his oranges. No matter how rad he is, if you did not save Tatiana, Zeke won't join. Ditto if you killed Zeke, Tatiana will not join.
Even if Ike is my most disliked Lord (outside of avatars) from the franchise, he is not the everything to his verse (at least in FE9). Jill will ditch the Greil Mercenaries to join the enemy, unless she has a support, not with Ike himself, but with a subhuman or Ike's useless sister.
See where I'm going?
There's no scissors pulled out to sever the bonds existing between characters to insert a "self-insert" character.
Reyson and Leanne love each other, Reyson will rush to her when she is rescued by Naesala, he will not take a backseat for Ike to rush to her when she is saved.
During Rajaion's last moments, the close up is on Ena being by his side. Not Ike.
Rhea being freed from Gritnea? Billy CG. Rhea having her last (unless power of the A Support) moments in the cathedral? In Billy's arms.
What is Seteth, Flayn, Cyril or even Catherine? I don't know.
Ranulf is Skrimir's right hand man. Ranulf isn't put in a freezer for Ike to take his role, until he returns.
Games where the lord isn't a self-insert doesn't pull the awful "alone B4 U" nonsense, Eliwood might have recruited Nino and saved Jaffar, Jaffar's first and most important bond will be to Nino, and Nino will in turn support her uncle Legault.
Tatiana isn’t fridged so Zeke can only side with Alm because Alm is super cool and has warm hands, nope. Zeke will only side with Alm if Tatiana was, lel, de-fridged from Nuibaba’s abode.
I’ve kind of warmed up (a bit) about Billy and what they could have been, but what the game did of them (self-insert + avatar powers being a blackhole warping the narration and its characters) really sucks, and brings down FE16.
I think this ask was sent before the interview were the devs said they didn’t want to give a better ending in Nopes than any you can reach in Houses else the player will feel bad bcs Billy’s the self-insert...
-> here you have your validation. The world, and even the subsequent Fodlan games must accomodate to make Billy, the player’s avatar, the only reason why the world is saved.
it’s the Doylist explanation to all this Watsonian stuff I’ve brough, and it’s terrible.
I really hope IS will drop this “idea” because the avatar with his magic scissors remodeling characters to turn them in S-Support material is awful, and in a series that prided itself on its story+characters, if you remove the characters you’re not left with anything else.
heyo! just wanna say i love your blog and your art, you inspire me so much to draw!! i usually don't talk much but i feel bad for not saying anything. hope you are doing okay, don't forget to drink water and stay safe!
AA IM GLAD I INSPIRE YOU!!!! And no problem lol! I tend to lurk a lot on tumblr I totally get it. If it makes you comfortable then go for it friend!
Unparalleled are the gardens of Fenestala Manor, in both beauty and tranquility. Her haven these long years: the place her mother would once bring her when she was distressed, the place she would take herself in her lowest moments for a breath of fresh air, and the place she brings her new charge now, whenever their lessons appear to overwhelm him.
She gazes down at the tired child - for he is nothing if not that, a child - and hesitantly brings a hand up to stroke his hair. When she is not brushed aside she does so again, tenderly, until he finally falls asleep in her lap. And only then does she realise that, for the first time in her life, she has not sought her peace in this place - but she finds it anyway in those quiet, even breaths.
Ruby has been trained over time, not to twitch or stiffen against unwanted or unexpected touch. Made it easier, once upon a time, for Verstael to do his work. But he’s very glad of the training now, as the touch is not harsh but soft and kind. Luna affectionately stroking his hair as he lies on her lap.
It’s so easy to fall asleep, knowing she’s there. Knowing he’s safe. He sees her as a sister any more, and he wonders if she feels the same.
“You’re really nice,” He mumbles sleepily. “I’m glad Caligo agreed to my deal, so I got to meet you.”
