The Holy Cult of Glasses

The Cult of Glasses is the first of only 2 civilizations to continue the Spring Time Japes tradition in 2021, and the third and latest to represent the Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE game (though is a bit looser in references due to being a meme civ).

## History

### ???

 File:YourMap Icon.png
In the beginning there was no Glass and there was no Eye. But then one day the great Creators bestowed upon the world a blending of Fire and Sand with the power to bend light. With this power, bent light could show a true form, and with that true form a new belief gave rise.

In a strangely (Wii) Unusual twist of fate, Glasses had often been cursed to be nothing more than a side distraction on an absurd sneezing costume. These two Sneezing costumes were the original Glasses Tsubasa, but so few knew of their existence that Glasses Tsubasa never truly existed. There had to be a greater advertisement of this great glasswork, but none would come for many years...

That all changed when a new Switch had been enacted. While the old gods allowed the Tsubasa to have a blank and empty face, completely devoid of all passion, the new gods dug into the history and lore of Tsubasa and found a new sacred document: Concept Art. This Concept Art served as a pivotal foundation and inspiration to grant Tsubasa a whole new look on her face. But the most ingenious idea that these new gods had was how they would spread this newfound glory...

Suddenly, glasses were a front and center option selection. Placed immediately after the difficulty selection, and before the visualization of Tsubasa's scarring opera scene when she was 5, suddenly the gods could force Tsubasa to where the almight Glasses. Though there would be some unfortunate instances where they would be forced off, it became an impressive piece of divine symbolism that few would dare remove.

### YourLeader

Five years prior to the start of Tokyo Mirage Sessions, Tsubasa was in the audience watching an opera which her sister, Ayaha, was participating in. However, towards the end of the show, a mysterious black shadow surrounded every individual present and slowly made them all vanish one by one. Eventually Tsubasa was the last one waiting to be claimed, but when the shadows descended upon her, a bright light shown and dispelled the shadow. Though a particular mirage claims that it was her power that saved Tsubasa, some conspiracy theorists claim that the tears in Tsubasa's eyes instead formed a pseudo-lens shape in front of her eyes which was the actual source that shielded her from the shadows.

Originally, Tsubasa was unable to wear glasses, as the beings who created her decided for some reason never to truly implement it in the game. While there was a short stint where Tsubasa had a special costume to wear that had glasses, it mostly flew under the radar. Tsubasa would continue her adventures next to Itsuki, attempting to become the next great idol while serving as Mirage Master for Caeda. Eventually, they all would work together to stop Mirage Medeus from destroying Tokyo, and though there were no glasses in sight, the heroes successfully put Medeus away. These unsung heroes went mostly unnoticed, and the beings who created Tsubasa decided to shelve anything related to her and her existence.

However, several years afterward, these mysterious beings would suddenly Switch to a new perspective. It just so happened that there was some old concept art of Tsubasa wearing glasses, and so Tsubasa was granted a second chance to relive her experiences once again. Those that controlled her fate would select the option for her to wear glasses immediately after determining the difficulty of the enemies she would have to face. Soon after, Tsubasa in glasses became the savior of the Tokyo Mirage Session universe, granting a new clarity in what a proper idol must look like. Unbeknownst to Tsubasa, she had been granted a whole new identity: Glasses Tsubasa. This new identity served as a foundation for the newest religion in the world.

Like any true deity, Glasses Tsubasa does not interact with her followers, and possibly does not even know they exist. Glasses Tsubasa continues onward in all endeavors blissfully unaware of whether she actually wears Glasses or not. It is up to her faithful followers to ensure that Glasses Tsubasa properly is outfitted to distinguish herself from her elder (Wii) Useless counterpart. Thus, it falls to her believers to place glasses upon all other forms of Tsubasa to ensure only the true Tsubasa lives.

### Dawn of Man

Glasses are really versatile. First, you can have glasses-wearing girls take them off and suddenly become beautiful, or have girls wearing glasses flashing those cute grins, or have girls stealing the protagonist's glasses and putting them on like, "Haha, got your glasses!" That's just way too cute! Also, boys with glasses! I really like when their glasses have that suspicious looking gleam, and it's amazing how it can look really cool or just be a joke. I really like how it can fulfill all those abstract needs. Being able to switch up the styles and colors of glasses based on your mood is a lot of fun too! It's actually so much fun! You have those half rim glasses, or the thick frame glasses, everything! It's like you're enjoying all these kinds of glasses at a buffet.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]I really want Caeda to try some on or Kiria to try some on to replace her eyepatch. We really need glasses to become a thing in Fortuna and start selling them as a ticket into this holy cult. Don't. You. Think. We. Really. Need. To. Officially. Give. Everyone. Glasses? Don't. You. Think. Glasses. Can. Create. A. Civilization. That. Will. Stand. The. Test. Of. Time?
