Fanon / Fire Emblem Fates

• The unnamed continent the games take place on is sometimes jokingly given the name "Fateslandia".
• There's several theories going about how Takumi would've massacred the unassuming Port Dia from Conquest's infamous Chapter 10. And given the fact that Takumi was already possessed at that point and the fact that Hoshido is heavily implied to have gone off the deep end a little, it's definitely not outside the realm of possibility.
• One of the main criticisms of Fates is that Hoshido is too blatantly "good" and that Nohr is too blatantly "evil" apart from the playable cast from Nohr being mainly sympathetic. It's common in fan fiction attempting to rectify this to make Hoshidan culture isolationist and xenophobic by nature in order to round it out a little.
• The child of this game's Avatar will be referred as Kana if male, or Kanna if female.
• That Odin, Selena, and Laslow are the Future Past versions of Owain, Severa, and Inigo is a very persistent theory, even though their supports directly contradict this.
• Some fans believe that characters whose names were shortened (Suzukaze to Kaze, Mozume to Mozu, and Kazahana to Hana for example) are still named this, with the localized names simply being affectionate nicknames. Additionally, this also works for Benny, as it is also a possible nickname for Benoit.
• Relatedly, some fics incorporate both names for the Avatar by having their name changed from "Kamui" to "Corrin" by Garon when he kidnaps them. This is outright stated to be untrue in canon, but some choose to ignore that to do away with the Fridge Logic of (in the original Japanese version) no one in Nohr (or the Avatar themself) questioning the Avatar having an Asian-sounding name in their European-inspired country when their true nationality was supposedly a secret or (in the English localization) the Avatar being given a European-sounding name by their Asian-inspired mother.
• Midori being a drug dealer has been a very popular headcanon.
• Peri's children tend to be given her blue and pink hair in fanart, instead of just the blue they get in-game. The most common example is Soleil, likely due to her default portrait showing her with grandmother Olivia's pink hair.
• Similarly, the Avatar's non-Kana children tend to be given pointy ears in fanart.
• While the games leave the time frame of the Avatar's kidnapping ambiguous, most fans tend to agree that they were about five or six when it happened.
• Most fics including twin Avatars have the male be named Corrin and the female named Kamui.
  • As such, the male is often aligned with Nohr (as he has a "western" name), while the female is aligned with Hoshido (with the Japanese name), even though most official material suggests that the "canon" version is the other way around.
• Crossed with Fanon Discontinuity, a lot of fan art and fanfiction depicts the first generation waiting until after the war is over to have children, avoiding any plot holes potentially caused by the Deeprealms.
• The idea that Izana faked his own death in Revelation, for some reason or another, is gaining some steam in the Western fanbase. It helps that it's not exactly out of character.
• As the game never reveals the identity of the third person to get the blessing of the Rainbow Sage, a lot of fans like to assume that it was Gunter. There's also a jokier fanon that assumes the reason no one mentions them by name is because it was Kellam.
• In the Japanese version of Leo's bio, it's said that he loves tomatoes the most out of the cast. The fans ran away with this, making him obsessed with the little red fruit. This was given a nod in the localised version, where the relevant line is now "Objectively loves tomatoes more than anyone else ever could."
• Camilla's hairstyle is commonly assumed as a way to conceal a scar (or worse, the loss of one of her eyes) she obtained during the Nohrian concubine wars.
• While never outright confirmed, it is generally accepted that Mikoto was Sumeragi's concubine before Ikona's death since Corrin was said to have been an infant when Sumeragi took them and Mikoto in but Takumi and Sakura being younger than them while also Ikona's children means she would have had to still be alive then. Combine this with how the Hoshido siblings sans Ryoma believed Corrin was their paternal half sibling even though they should know Ikona was alive when they were born, and this is easy to infer.
• Corrin/Azura shippers (or even fans who do not ship them but want to make the Ship Tease less squicky) uncomfortable with the idea of them being Kissing Cousins through their mothers being sisters work around this via headcanoning that Mikoto and Arete are actually either adoptive sisters, step-sisters, or spiritual sisters.
