History Memes / FireEmblemThreeHouses

* "Another 3 years of Three Houses discourse".[[labelnote:Explanation]]Ever since the game came out, FE fans have debated or argued about the game, to the point of somewhat overshadowing the game itself. Due to this, every so often something triggers the debates to resume again, ranging from ''Three Hopes'', to ''Engage'', to random things like ''WebAnimation/DeathBattle'' (which had Dimitri fight Guts from ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'' for an episode), eventually reaching the point where it is commonly joked that Three Houses somehow always gets the same discourse brought up for years despite having no reason to be.[[/labelnote]]

* Fire Emblem Warriors: No Hope/Three Copes [[labelnote:Explanation]] Due to the endings, absence of particular plot resolutions, exclusion of notable characters, and lack of endgame/postgame content, fans began pining for a [[DownloadableContent story expansion, or even something as simple as a character pack]], almost immediately after ''Three Hopes'' launched. As the months rolled by and no DownloadableContent became apparent, hopeless puns based on the "Three Hopes" in the title became common on social media, especially after the announcement of VideoGame/FireEmblemEngage. The sentiment (and the despairing puns) deepened after the OST release date was announced, and after Claude, Dimitri, and Edelgard were announced as DownloadableContent for ''Engage,'' both of which seemingly confirmed that ''Three Hopes'' would be getting no DownloadableContent. Variations involving "cope" and "copium" memes also cropped up as fans continued to desperately reach for any possibility that DLC would be coming, even after various milestones came and went: the start of 2023; the release date for ''Engage'', combined with how fast the DLC for that game was released; and ''Three Hopes''' one year anniversary.[[/labelnote]]

** Edelgard's forehead. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Edelgard's hairstyle leaves her forehead uncovered. Naturally, like Haru Okumura from ''VideoGame/Persona5'', this led to many jokes at how big her forehead is. After Edelgard was revealed, alongside Claude and Dimitri, to be appearing in VideoGame/FireEmblemEngage, memes mocking the size of her forehead reappeared, thanks to ''Engage's'' art style emphasizing it even more.[[/labelnote]]

** [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Jeritza's Counterattack]][[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the skills Jeritza learns is Counterattack. Due to his CharClone vibes, it is becoming very fitting for Jeritza to be comparable to Char from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam''.[[/labelnote]]

* GOLDEN DEER STAYS WINNING AGAIN! [[labelnote:Explanation]]When the new designs for the Golden Deer were revealed, many fans noted that there wasn't a single odd design to be found in any of them, even for who would have been the most likely victims, Ignatz and Lorenz, whose designs were actually ''very'' well received. On top of Marianne's [[LettingHerHairDown instantly popular]] [[FanartAtFirstSight and adorable design]], fans of the Golden Deer once again declared that their house has won.[[/labelnote]]

** Marianne doesn't have ''TabletopGame/{{UNO}}'', so go fuck off. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Based on [[https://youtu.be/hryAPx9OFZM this animation]] of Marianne's C-support with Hilda, which depicts the pair arguing over whether or not Marianne has Uno on her ''UsefulNotes/XBox''. Fans quickly caught on to this, and as such, whenever fanwork puts Marianne and Hilda together, this will likely be referenced.[[/labelnote]]

** Ingrid, the straightest woman in all of Fodlan. [[labelnote:Explanation]]She's the only female character who has no paired endings with any other female characters. [[/labelnote]]

** CEO of Racism/Final Boss of Racism [[labelnote:Explanation (spoilers)]]Since Nemesis is the final boss of Verdant Wind/Golden Deer/Claude's route, and Claude as previously mentioned is associated with "stopping racism" memes, Nemesis is often portrayed as the final obstacle to overcoming discrimination, variously parodied as the personification of bigotry or just as an overdramatic [[RacistGrandma Racist Grandpa.]] It helps that he actually looks like an old man, if a very muscular one. And he did commit genocide against the Nabateans, so he is indeed pretty racist.[[/labelnote]]

** Mortal Savant Lysithea/[[VideoGame/FateGrandOrder Lysithea-san DAISHOURI!!]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Lysithea is surprisingly noted to be talented with swords, which makes people tend to class her into Mortal Savant rather than Gremory. This also tends to be an intentional choice to allude to her [[Creator/AoiYuki Japanese VA's]] role as [[VideoGame/FateGrandOrder Okita Souji]], who is a genius swordswoman and like Lysithea, burdened with a fatal disease. Hence 'Mortal Savant/swordsman' Lysithea pops up a lot, and people chant a variant of Okita's victory celebration cry and apply it to Lysithea: "Lysithea-san DAISHOURI!!/Ms. Lysithea's Great Victory!" (following up with an IncurableCoughOfDeath is optional)[[/labelnote]]

** Down Bad for Subterranean Goth Girl Clussy [[labelnote:Explanation ]]Kronya has a... [[EvilIsSexy very revealing]] outfit that covers [[{{Stripperiffic}} very little skin]] and shows off [[MsFanservice all of her curves]], resulting in her gaining quite a lot of popularity among fanartists despite [[OneSceneWonder only actually appearing in one chapter in Three Houses]] (outside of her disguise as Monica). Creator/{{Excelblem}} succintly summarized her disproportionate representation with the above phrase [[https://youtu.be/iMpEdbYoMo0?t=37 during his playthrough]] of the game.[[/labelnote]]

** My red flags may be big... but my boobs are bigger.[[labelnote:Explanation (spoilers)]]Cornelia is a WickedWitch and part of those who slither in the dark, who commits several atrocities over the course of Azure Moon and especially Azure Gleam. She also has an ''[[MsFanservice incredibly sexy]]'' [[EvilIsSexy design]] that rivals Kronya's, causing her popularity to rise up among fanartists, and even some fans who actually want her to be playable in spite of her evilness.[[/labelnote]]

* Sewer Trio [[labelnote:Explanation]]In the Cindered Shadows DLC, Linhardt, Ashe and Hilda are the only members playable from each of their respective houses along with their house leaders. This rather odd trio are hilariously portrayed as a new [[PowerTrio Power Trio]] who are coincidentally found wandering at night and just so happen to have connection with the Ashen Wolves and knowledge about the Abyss and the Rite of Rebirth in some ways.[[/labelnote]]
* The Faerghus Four / The Childhood Friend Quartet [[labelnote:Explanation]]A nickname that has popped up for the childhood friend faction of the Faerghus characters Dimitri, Ingrid, Felix and Sylvain as a group.[[/labelnote]]

** Mortal Savant Lysithea/[[VideoGame/FateGrandOrder Lysithea-san DAISHOURI!!]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Lysithea is surprisingly noted to be talented with swords, which makes people tend to class her into Mortal Savant rather than Grimoire. This also tends to be an intentional choice to make an allusion of her [[Creator/AoiYuki Japanese VA's]] role as [[VideoGame/FateGrandOrder Okita Souji]], who is a genius swordswoman and like Lysithea, burdened with a fatal disease. Many 'Mortal Savant/swordsman' Lysithea pops up a lot, and people chant on a variant of Okita's victory celebration cry to be applied to Lysithea: "Lysithea-san DAISHOURI!!/Ms. Lysithea's Great Victory!" (following up with an IncurableCoughOfDeath is optional)[[/labelnote]]

** "Oh these? [[MostCommonSuperpower My boobies? My massive fucking tiddies?]] [[SexualEuphemism My super stuffed milkers? My honker bonker doinky bonkies?]]" [[labelnote:explanation]]Hilda's S-Support visual became something of a meme for [[https://i.ytimg.com/vi/nxWHt_zuikg/maxresdefault.jpg how gratuitous with fanservice]] it was compared to others. While most characters are shown intimate with Byleth, Hilda's has her posed in such a way to make her large breasts more prominent. [[https://twitter.com/lovejinkles/status/1312594800965713920?s=20 Some twitter users went to turn it into and]] OverlyLongGag Dub to further highlight it.[[/labelnote]]

** 200% Chest. [[labelnote:Explanation]]A few months after the game's release, a datamine revealed the internal multipliers the game applies to the generic female model's chest to create each character's unique model. [[BoobsOfSteel Female Byleth's]] is set to 200%, behind only Manuela (220%, by the way). This quickly caught on as an UnusualEuphemism.[[/labelnote]]

** "Flayn? No, I haven't seen her. She's been abducted. Oh, you're looking for her. Sorry, my mind was somewhere else." [[labelnote:Explanation]] [[Creator/ChrisPatton Chris Patton's]] delivery of Linhardt's line when [[https://twitter.com/apolloarcana/status/1467197436800163847?t=OJeSiRyZ2DLyp58xfBwCbQ&s=09 Flayn is abducted]] caught on for how blasé it is, and how well it communicates Linhardt's disonnect from the intensity of the moment, which pretty well sums up Linhardt's approach to [[TheComicallySerious just about everything]].[[/labelnote]]

* "A taste more bitter than blackest coffee." [[labelnote:Explanation]][[WelcomeToCorneria Expect to hear this line a lot when defeating generic enemy commanders]].[[/labelnote]]

** In general, the fandom tends to love portraying Byleth as an [[ApatheticTeacher overly-casual]], {{Uncertified|Expert}} EccentricMentor based on the fact that they're not much older than their students, and they have zero known zero teaching experience or education prior to being recruited as a professor at Garreg Mach.

* Shahid needs glasses [[labelnote:Explanation]]Shahid somehow fails to recognize his half-brother Claude/Khalid, despite commenting multiple times how much he reminds him of said sibling. Many players were completely baffled, and in-universe Claude/Khalid]]--if fighting Shahid in Golden Wildfire, where he ''finally'' recognizes him--mocks Shahid for how long it took him to realize this.[[/labelnote]]

* Fire Emblem Warriors: No Hope/Three Copes [[labelnote:Explanation]] Due to the endings, absence of particular plot resolutions, exclusion of notable characters, and lack of endgame/postgame content, fans began pining for a [[DownloadableContent story expansion, or even something as simple as a character pack]], almost immediately after ''Three Hopes'' launched. As the months rolled by and no DownloadableContent became apparent, hopeless puns based on the "Three Hopes" in the title became common on social media, especially after the announcement of VideoGame/FireEmblemEngage.

Variations involving "cope" and "copium" memes also cropped up as fans continued to desperately reach for any possibility that DLC would be coming, even after the start of 2023 and the release date for ''Engage'' approached ever-closer, combined with how fast the DLC for that game was being released.[[/labelnote]]

*** Got flipped on its head with female Byleth's S Support with Seteth, as he's actually Flayn's father, not her brother. Naturally, the same meme formats found new life with this particular romance, complete with Flayn being horrified at Byleth becoming her new mom.
