Author: mark_asphodel

Abstract: A "field guide" to tactician characters in FE1-FE12, meant to argue that the fandom conception of an "ideal" tactician as seen in fanfiction depictions of "Mark" from FE7 is very off-base compared to the canonical tacticians featured in the franchise over the years. Core argument: a successful tactician is not likely to be a saintly intellectual or pure-hearted philosopher... or even a very nice person. Revised in January 2013 to update the FE5 section, which ends up bolstering the main argument very well. Somewhat snarky compared with other meta pieces. Mostly avoids spoilers, but does contain one for FE2 and two for FE5.

Abstract: I argue that the sage who took care of Soren was not abusive and probably cared about Soren to some extent.
See Also: Well, you could troll this combination of tags for my incredible bulk of thoughts on Soren's psyche...

Abstract: I discuss the A-support-based cliche found frequently in Ike/Soren fanfiction and how this affects a reader's perception of Soren's character.
See Also: I linked to this on a tumblr post once and a back-and-forth discussion ensued. You can follow it here: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. If you're interested in responding to the tumblr discussion, feel free to leave a comment in the linked post.
