Aaaand that's a wrap! Of course I was gonna end on a sappy note, as goofy as these otherwise got. Hopefully it was fun even if it was bad advice.

(Thanks to /u/InkedWyvern for this question, and thanks to YOU for your patience and support! The response on the last comic was fantastic, wow!!)

Pasha Saga started as just a cute and fun little concept, but it became a vehicle for further exploring the central theme of Claude learning to trust as told and aided by the one soul in all the world he trusts unconditionally. 💛

Madcap 3H headcanons, Heroes game mechanics as lore tie-ins, Claude character analysis by way of Travant character analysis, and sick Gwendy dunks all in one comic? I swear I wasn't setting out to make the Nichest FE Fanwork, but I'll apologize anyway.

(Edited with reformatted comic, alt text, and Bsky link 2/25).

the alt text was killer on this one... I'm beginning to realize the detriments of my high-visual-gag-density style, but I don't think it really got crazier than this in any sense.

I am visiting my grandfather for the very first time. My mother ran away from home to live in another country so we never met. Also my great uncle (grandfather's brother) is trying to assassinate us. What should we expect? - Lyn

A Reddit user asked a question from Lyn's POV as well, so I took the liberty of combining them, hope that's okay! (also apologies for this being 3 months late) ><

Again, this one didn't really need a reformatting, but the alt text wouldn't fit otherwise. Plus I took the opportunity to tweak wording that bugged me the first time around, and also settle on dialogue fonts for Ignatz, Leonie, and Lysithea.

Fire Emblem has only repeated names a few times, and yet somehow both Monicas are corpse puppets?? Anyway, wisest not to humor Orson... though I guess we could have saved Ephraim a lot of trouble with an emphatic "NO." Nice going, Claude. (thanks /u/Goldberry15 for the question!)

(Edited with reformatted comic, alt text, and Bsky link 2/25).

Kind of a dud, but eh, that's why I'm queuing it for the wee hours. :)

Just goes to show you, a scheme is only as good as its execution.

(The folks on Reddit advised me to spread these out a little further for better readability... double the panels, but I hope it helps!)

(Edited with reformatted comic, alt text, and Bsky and Reddit links 2/25).

Did I make Ferdinand TOO dumb here? I missed him on my Deer playthrough so at the time I made this I was less familiar with him than most of the other characters. Ah well.

No matter what I do, my mind always wanders off when I’m trying to do something important. Sure there’s more interesting things to do, but sometimes I just need to sit down and get work done. Is there anything I can do to help me focus? I can’t just keep putting important work off forever.

(if the advice box event isn’t open yet you can ignore this, I hope you have a good day!)

Appropriately enough, this was the one I had a hard time getting done! I may have to start wrapping these up... anyway, I don't know that this helped you for real, but thanks for the question anyway!

(As far as real help goes, I've found FocusMate to work really well when I've used it! You'd have to be okay with being on camera with another person but I promise it's not as awkward as it sounds LOL)

Sorry, got a bit sidetracked and forgot to keep updating Tumblr with these reformatted comics... this one REALLY needed renovation, so I hope you guys enjoy it this time around!

Yeah, get in line, Pasha.

Question submitted by @BossMan538 on Twitter.

(Edited with reformatted comic, alt text, and Bsky link 12/24).

The way I CACKLED when Three Hopes deadass made this canon in Azure Gleam's finale. Pasha's word is his bond, even across the multiverse. 😤

(Context: NPC!Claude is locked to Barbarossa, and therefore to Pasha, and he spawns in Count Varley's stronghold. You can help him out, of course, but either way Pasha undoubtedly gets a few good chomps in there. I know we all hate what this route did to Edelgard, but this bit was such a highlight.)

@joshquixote's question, from a shy Officers' Academy student, got a thorough (if not perhaps helpful) answer from Pasha. They might have to rename it to the White Wyvern Dance Contest!

(Edited with reformatted comic, alt text, and Bsky link 12/24).

This one really benefited from a reformatting. Enjoy!

Someone challenged me to a game a chess. I wasn't paying attention and accepted the challenge, which would be fine except for one thing - I don't know how to play chess. What do I do?

Avatar

I had to rely on a chess-playing friend for this answer, but I'm told it will give actual chess players convulsions and is precisely the kind of chaotic mindgame-y move Claude would favor.

Thanks for the question! Good luck on your chess match!

@racecarart tapped Claude's expertise over on Twitter with a tricky wyvern question about tricky wyverns, and Felix got outmaneuvered by three toddlers. And how'd his sleeve get ripped, anyway? They don't even have teeth yet!!

(Edited with reformatted comic, alt text, and Bsky link 12/24).

It wasn't intentional, but Claude's reductive assessment of natural wyvern behavior here comes into play in the "Great Tower Wyvern Caper" comic. Seteth would tell him that competition is but one aspect of wyverns' complex social lives!

/u/slippin_through_life on Reddit wrote in a question from Yuri, who may have unwittingly opened a Pandora's box... the first of many, many boxes, it looks like. Another successful* scheme**!

Also, in case I don't get another chance to say it, Happy 2nd Anniversary to Fire Emblem: Three Houses!! I'm still having so much fun playing around in this world. 😊

*maybe

** or "opportunity taken" for all you translation purists.

(Edited with reformatted comic, alt text, and Bsky link 12/24).

One additional benefit of the alt text is I can draw attention to all the minuscule gags tucked away throughout these comics. I've been having a lot of fun with it.
