New weekly plurk! Also thinking that perhaps I will do a network post for Ethlyn to ask about healers and healing... seeing if there are any others out there

Ethlyn > Dohalim

Ethlyn > Aerith I love this burgeoning friendship

Ethlyn > Joel "oh well if we're being spied on we're probably already wearing it"

Ethlyn > Clara fun fact: Ethlyn hasn't even considered the idea that they're on A Different World

teleportation magic exists in Jugdral! fire emblem worlds come in units of continents! obviously they have all just been summoned from very distant continents!

Ethlyn > Rinoa

Ethlyn > Marianne getting into headcanony stuff here!

The way I kind of parse the way gender roles work in FE4 is that it is fine and acceptable for women (esp noblewomen) to learn martial skills, if they wish to, but it's not compulsory (the way it is for men) and also of course you are going to be a wife and mother as well

so Ethlyn learned how to swordfight because Crusader heir, but learned how to heal because until her marriage she would be acting as Sigurd's lieutenant if / when he rode out to fight, and that became her role towards Quan once she married him

(FE4 is. very definite. that there are gender roles and that 'female' is the subordinate gender but it is 'subordinate but you can also use a sword')

Ethlyn > Aerith TALKING SHOP

(I like that the technological differences between them aren't just ordinary things like indoor plumbing, but magic too)

Ethlyn > Dohalim

Ethlyn > Vholran
Ethlyn > Clara watching the penny teeter before it drops....

(theoretically when it does, she shouldn't be breezy enough to say HEY WHERE ARE ALL MY HEALER PALS but I feel like Ethlyn is probably good at comparmentalization)

Ethlyn > Rinoa
