[nonfiction] [fe9] Giffca oddities in Path of Radiance and how they point towards him having replaced Caineghis as a playable character

Have you ever noticed that Giffca isn't actually wearing his own outfit when in combat in Path of Radiance? Ever wonder why?

⚓ZINE RELEASE TODAY⚓

A long crack mars the side of the bottle. You pry out the cork. A book falls out; its spine splits open on the deck. Red eyes blink in the fog—watching—as you gather the pages.

You now hold the zine in your hands.

Why can't Caineghis do things? Why is Skrimir the general during Part 3 instead of Giffca? Why did I subject myself to the experience of writing this? Find out all of this (and more)

Tellius Recollection tells us that Gallia is a nation “without written law or political institutions” and then chooses to not elaborate much further.

but I struggled with trying to make that work for several years and I think I'm really happy with how approaching it from a different perspective gave it a more clear understanding of what (and how) it wanted to communicate itself.
Be sure to check out the other pieces in the zine!
Wrote this for Volume 3 of @invinciblezine.bsky.social's horror/angst zine, Calamity's Advent.
Really fun character to write. My original idea for this piece would focus more on the direct effects an adult thanatophage has on the local human population,

^Excerpt from my piece for Volume Three of Calamity's Advent, a horror and angst themed FE zine.
It's an expansion of an idea I had shortly after the first volume and while I've changed a lot of things I'm still quite excited to be releasing it out into the wild soon. (yay)
Any discussion of necroentomology is, of course, incomplete without mentioning Megalara cylindraceus.
Though most well-known for its ecological impact in Archanea, Megalara cylindraceus is nearly ubiquitous, with its larval form found in any world with sufficient ambient divinity. Its growth and met
If there's any compelling evidence that I've missed that contradicts the claims I've made in the second half, let me know! The truth can only be obtained through our combined efforts.
I wrote something new (yay). This has consumed me for over a month but I think I've adequately answered the questions I set out to find answer to with it.

i mcfreakin forgot that i made some promo images for this piece when i first posted it. spoilers for the third chapter i guess?
The cycle is eternal, and we will never escape.
My most recent Piece. For now.
I started writing this, had the thought "this would be more fun to write if it were a story", started writing *that* instead, got stuck a few chapters in, came back to this after a few years and finished it, and now I kinda want to go back and finish the story.

Astute viewers may have noticed that this is the piece I alluded to in my comments for Memories Drawn in the Sand. This is a little-known literary technique called "foreshadowing", where objects closer to the camera appear larger. Be sure to use it in your next piece to excite and wow your readers!

What's the deal with Kishuna? Why does he show up where he does? What drives him as a person?

I don't have a whole lot for them publicly available anymore, but it's hard to say Giffghis isn't my main pairing. This piece is short, sweet, and to the point (which is to its benefit, of course), but I have some longer ones in mind that might see the light of day sometime this decade :P
[fe tellius][giffghis] Retainer
Before calling him his shadow, Caineghis used to call Giffca his retainer. On a day that could've been like any other, Giffca learned why and gently persuaded Caineghis to use something else.

I like Frey. Wish he wasn't the canon sacrifice but it gave me enough material to write this so it's not all bad👍

I heard they changed how Ymir looks again when they added him to Heroes. It's bad enough that his ingame and promo art only vaguely remember each other, so I hope it's not too different
