Another moment from my FEFW playthrough! I greatly enjoyed being able to check in on other protagonists in different routes to see more perspectives on them! But, uh, knowing their inner turmoil doesn't always mean knowing their material preferences... #fireemblem #fefw

Years ago, I was playing someone's game and finished a quest in an unexpected way using stealth. It was one of the first times where I felt really rewarded for doing so and it was an awesome moment only marred by the scripting not accounting for it. The designer's response was to remove that option.

(Spoilers for her Part 2 Ch. 3 below!) And I spent way too time setting up Aswan to get the kill on Gilchris for dialogue and thematic reasons. Leda is here to enable women's wrongs. #fefw #leda

(Spoilers for her Part 2, as well as the other Part 1's Blaze unlocks, below!) I also love how Leda's the only one of the Flame Lords to have Underworld Madness too. Yes, the speedy support bard is the one who goes wants to go feral. #fefw #leda

Cai and Theodora showcase their Underworld Calm skills: Cai is chill, while Theodora is doing breathing exercises. Dietrich is doing a V-sign with a neutral expression, as his Unyielding skill flashes above him. Meanwhile, Leda is in Overblaze next to them, tightly gripping Obsidian with a wild look in her eyes. Underworld Madness is shown above her.

Bertrand walks in, waving his hand. "Hello. You know, I have the same Manage Blaze option too..."
But then he sighs in defeat, sagging. Leda has moved to laying on a therapy couch, looking up at Theodora with a pair of glasses and a clipboard in her hands. "So, how do I seal Obsidian's power again?" Leda asks. Theodora, jotting down notes with a quill, replies, "First, let's unpack some of your trauma..."

Playing Leda's route in Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave first, and your honor I love her; she's so unwell. (Little moments from playing her Part 1; spoilers up to her Ch. 6 below!) #fefw #leda

Buccar opens the army's coin pouch to pay for a carriage ride, only to find it empty. "Wh- Where did all of our funds go? That was our entire income for the chapter! We can't even take the carriage back to Dagsion!"
Mean, Leda is off to the side with a guilty expression, holding a bouquet of flowers, a Zanbato, Mini-Bow, and Javelin. Arrows point to her, indicating: "Gifts to recruit pretty women", and "Effective and 1-2 rng weapons that will be useful later, promise".

A dramatic shot of Theodora punching Alexandra, shot from Alexandra's point of view. Dark hellfire wreaths Theodora as her eyes glow with an unholy glare, blood dripping from her knuckles. Alexandra tries to raise her hand to defend herself, but to no avail.

Meanwhile, Bonaventure and Dietrich look on, unhappy. Leda, however, is admiring the scene with sparkles around her.

☝️ remember kids, always put the words on the page before you draw anything. the placement of the bubbles is just as much a part of the art as the drawings themselves. in fact bad bubble placement is worse than a bad drawing.

Unfortunately, Bluesky won't let me mix GIFs and PNGs, so please imagine the last panel switching between 12/8 and 11/8. (Or 6/4 and 5.5/4 if you're not a nerd)

empwnleon.bsky.social @empwnleon.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

Beatspell really made me respect the 3/4 and 8/8 time signatures with its weird monster fights. So, what would 11/8 look like?

Panel 1: Yu stands across from a small, white dog. Narra's voice comments: "Hm... This seems to be a weirder monster than usual. I wonder what it's doing in this underground cave?" Panel 2: Narra: "Regardless, you'll have to get past it to make it farther into the cave." Yu strikes a battle pose. Panel 3: Then Yu notices that the seal around her, which is usually a diamond to represent 4/4, is suddenly a nonagon. Narra: "Uh. Is that... a 9/4 time signature? That's unusual, but it shouldn't be anything you can't handle..." Panel 4: In the next panel, the seal is suddenly a pentagon. Yu is visibly sweating. Narra: "It... changed?! In the middle of the song?? Alright, stay calm. as long as you can adjust to both, you'll eventually-" Panel 5: The seal is now a mishappen hexagon, seemingly representing 5/4. Yu is horrified. Narra: "I'm sorry, but you're going to have to restart the chapter..." But the Annoying Dog is already launching itself at Yu...

Rhythm Heaven Groove spoilers! (More specifically, Beatspell spoilers) I love the Final Chapter a ton! It does so many clever twists, and I suspect I'll never be able to hear bells again without tapping Excorsis; I can't imagine what it's like for Yu...

Yu and Narra from Beatspell are dressed up in wedding attire, walking down the aisle. Mages in formal wear are in attendance, and the scarecrow is waiting to officiate.

Wedding bells ring, causing Yu to react with surprise.

Yu casts Excorsis on reflex at the altar, blasting Narra away off-screen with a BAM!!
