@mklson RUTE MY BESTIE.

I have adored you from the moment we MET and have followed you across all of your blogs!!

You take a character on with an idea and you keep pouring your dedication into them and it's so nice to see tbh. Bc you do it in a way that keeps them canon, without turning them into an oc parading around with a canon characters name.

Plus you as a MUN are so sweet and supportive and you cared when I spoke to you about my troubles and it made me feel warm and fuzzy. I simply ADORE YOU.

what if i went off about some of my favorite songs ever

kyuuyaku hankagai - hiiragi magnetite: everyone knows i love this. i just love everything about it. we really get both sides of the picture story wise with it- both the fact the world is literally, physically getting destroyed, and all of the mental torment the characters are dealing with. it still has that magu series weird wording but it gets everything across that it needs to. the instrumental is just as heavy as the scenario with added dramatics in parts that really make it for me. all the long notes to simulate screaming. the seamless addition of both the nami no ne no & rute furute woa motifs (& a possible 3rd? theres still parts in here i cant figure out yet) makes me so emotional. if u have no idea about the series its still a solid song. 10000/10 i cannot fully express my love for this song in words i just need it on repeat full volume for weeks on end.

ai wo - null: impossible for me to explain why i love this so much without oversharing. i keep telling myself not to rank this song so high but ive never felt so seen before. null's lyrics are both poetic & still hit every raw emotion where it hurts. the whole being left alone ur whole life & wishing it wasnt that way, that everything wasnt so empty, that someone could love u the way u need & never got. i want everyone to hear this song and i also want to gatekeep it. it became so important to me in such a short time & itll be hard to ever rival it

arikitari heroes - 150suzu: im not immune to nostalgia. shuuenpro is executed entirely different to aru sekai series & i have to judge from entirely different criteria & that said i really always loved how this one sort of summarized the series in a way that highlighted all the strife in it & made it subjective rather than an objective summary. the chorus is so high its like theyre crying out which fits entirely. i still have the video embedded in my mind & its been a hot minute since ive watched it. my teenage self thought it was so deep & even with a different perspective now i cant entirely discount those feelings. anyway i still really love it i could still listen to it for weeks on end if i wasnt busy keeping up with other things. i do not say it lightly when i say this is the song i have listened to the most in my entire life i used to spend Months straight listening to it. beloved.

tachiiri kinshi - mafumafu: i was sooooooo normal about this in high school (lying). its still high on my list of breakdown songs. like damn its been 8 years and it still holds up the same. between this & ai wo that just gives away 90% of my problems. imagine solving isolation by letting people in cant be me. anyway i was obsessed with drawing the girl from the video for a while idk how many doodles i still have left but she was Everywhere on my school work. normal person behavior.

jishou mushoku - nekobolo: song that has pulled the most weight in keeping me alive. where would i be without it. sometimes the mood is so bad this is still the only thing i can listen to some days.

rokuchounen to ichiya monogatari - kemu: the real reason i fell down the voca rabbit hole. still adore the song & find it hugely nostalgic, but there was a reason i connected with it when i was younger & being able to recognize how fucked up that was makes it also a painful reminder id rather bury. song fucks tho love how every rhythm game its in will destroy u trying to play it.

konmei no aji - savasti: regardless of the real meaning of the song this will always be a dissociation song to me not in the sense it makes me dissociate but rather in the spaceyness & disconnect it reminds me of the feeling but in a safer way to deal with it. personally i prefer rire's cover

taishou x - yurry canon: u will appreciate this song now right now its so under appreciated for a yurry canon song. god the fucking "i'm still living the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. as it is i will never be you. theres no reason in living, but just the same theres no point in dying is there?" [punching a wall] i like it a normal amount

kaiko no kanmuri - dopam!ne: god this song fucks so hard and yet its still edgy. i dont even really know how to explain what i feel with this one beyond i love it. its a kind of waiting for the right time to strike for revenge kinda song? idk its my absolute fave dopam!ne song i love a lot of his songs but this one just really does it for me

haru no sekibaku - inaba kumori: kutabireta atashi ga dame dattan da ne. yeah. the overall mood of this song hits just right all too often. sorry lag train this is the defining inabakumori song to me.

hyperlexia - yamaji: the space in this one also gives me a sense of vague dissociation. i just really love the whole reading between the lines not going to fall for lies anymore mood its got going on. a misguided sense of personal revolution that probably wont end in anything meaningful but i particularly like the song.

[suenitos]

george would fucking adore the UT storyline and going along with the silly characters' requests. however i feel like he'd get a heartbreaking neutral rute if he played without any guide. 🌟

HE REALLY WOULD LOVE IT I FEEL IT IN MY HEART T_T i do agree though he probably would get a neutral run without prior knowledge of the game or no guidance from chat

[delzinrowe]

yes let's play that game 🤩

Kay so I wanna know the worst movie you've ever seen and why is it the worst in your eyes?

Favourite movie? And why?

The one movie you're planning on watching? As in heard about but not seen.

Cheesy anon 😌

Let me think about that one..

Worst movie:

I have honestly now idea. I thought of the movie "Die goldene Rute" (transl.: Hot Spanking Rod). And NO, it is not porn. It's just so stupid and silly, but then I remembered that it's literally a comedy and supposed to be like that. So honestly, I can't think of the worst movie at the moment. Might come to me when I least think about it.

Favourite movie and why: I have a few favourites

Howl's Moving Castle -> simply for the beautiful story and the slow paced comfort it gives me. The slow pace in which the story progresses is such a beautiful change to the fast pace of normal movies nowadays. It's a peaceful aura thatt makes me feel like nothing bad could happen. And I always cry when Howl and Sophie fall in love, it kills me cause that's the kind of love I want to have as well. Someone who's searching for me and eventually will find me when I least expect it.

Spirited Away -> almost the same reason as Howl's Moving Castle. It's a beautifully written and executed movie with a slow pace and some great comfort moments.

Shawshank Redemption -> I'm a sucker for this drama, like no joke. The acting and the setting is just so immaculate. The question whether Andy did kill his wife or not is always there, even if there are moments where you doubt he could ever do anything criminal. But still, I just love this movie for every reason

Fight Club -> "You met me at a very strange time in my life." Probably one of my favourite movie quotes. But then again, the entire Movie is so quote-worthy, it's absolutely brilliant with the way it shifts from a dude who can't sleep to the detailed attack on consumerism and attempted destruction of all social order.

Ten Things I Hate About You -> one of the classic movies from the 90s, I love it. I know I talked to someone about this movie recently (I forgot who), but it's one of those movies I simply adore for all the right reasons. First of all, the main girl (if you can call her that) is so headstrong and independent. The premise of her falling in love doesn't equal her being saved or finding self worth or a place to belong, which is usually the case with romance. It's simply her falling in love. Sure the guy (played by the beautiful and late Heath Ledger) screws up, but he's so honest and redeems himself, he opens up and shares things he never shared. Sometime through the movie he didn't even wanna take money anymore, I think that shows his genuine intention clear, even though he got persuaded by the amount and eventually took it (bastard). But everything about this movie is so fucking great from start to finish.

One movie I'm planning to watch:

The Boy and the Heron -> mostly cause it's ghibli but I've also seen a few gifs of it and heard bits of the story which confused me so I really wanna watch it.

Thank youuu!!

[spiritcompanionship]

I'm sure it's a lot to handle, but I am so adoring this group dynamic. I'm screaming. I love them all. You guys are all so great. Thank you for existing. 😂

“It’s actually great fun! Rute is a lot but he’s also a breath of fresh air!”

“This is basically my second family now. I just feel sorry for Rudy. We are always ruining his naps..”

“Well thank you so much. I could do without Rute but it also wouldn’t be the same without him. As annoying as that is to admit.”

“I am the fresh air. It’s not my problem I’m so hip. But it’s great. I’m having a good time trying to get them to laugh. Little do they know that this isn’t an act, this is me.”

Riza, Haine, Rudy and Rute

[teefa85]

So...I decided that, what the heck!  While I’m waiting to fix up the last two Regions for the Gaia Pokedex Project, I might as well talk about my Muses, their spouses, and their former dorm-mates (some of whom are siblings to said Muses...hi Salah, Leon).  Namely...why I chose some of their Pokemon.  For people that have a lot, I’ll speak about only a few, or group them together if it’s the same reason.  You...don’t want me going through ALL of Rutee or Lufia’s Pokemon.

We’ll just do the six Muses now...since they’re the main people that inspire me and my insanity!

Teefa:  Vulpix was her first ever ‘mon, because I adored Brock’s Vulpix in the anime and loved foxes in general.  With her getting Zorua and Fennekin, she started getting a fox theme (broken only by the Popplio she got from Lufia) and I gave her a Nickit as a result this gen.  However, due to the Alolan Variants, I decided to change her Ninetales (what...she eventually Evolved her) to an Alolapix because A) it’s my favorite Alolan Form and B) it now didn’t clash with Fennekin for Type Coverage.  Of course...I’ve yet to change it on my sheet because I’m an idiot (I have Ability/Movesent/Nature on the list).

Lufia:  Having a ton, I’ll keep this brief.  Her first ‘mon was a Pikachu for very special reasons.  That being, before the big Tales of Destiny obsession, Lufia was the Muse who got the most craziness thrown at her (as it was just her assisting Teefa and as I’ve said Arcana has crap all for a story).  So when we saw how bonkers Pikachu was in the anime...Lufia had to have one just like Ash!  Though it’s very fitting...Flash/Bolt/Thunder are stupidly broken in the original Lufia game and it was the titular heroine who had them! Other ‘mons of interest are a Houndoom (reincarnation of a Death Goddess), Absol (Dark is Not Freaking Evil for Erim post-character development), and Hatterene (it’s a witch motif Psychic/Fairy...why not for this mega mage).

Rutee:  Vaporeon...FULL STOP!  I got Pokemon Blue for the holidays, then brought Tales of Destiny at Toys R Us a day or two later.  Rutee is a Water user in a love triangle with a Fire and Lightning user...kinda like the Gen I Eevees.  She...kinda ended up with all but Jolteon and Flareon for a gag as a result...

Samantha:  Hitmonlee/Lopunny/Mienshao...all fighters (this was decided after Lopunny’s Mega was revealed).  Samantha is one of the best female fighters in the group.

Burianne:  Persian was her first, but her Slurpuff and Vanilluxe are the result of her bottomless pit stomach.

Phoebe:  Dewgong...lives in an area frozen over...

Akuyaku Reijou? Iie, Gokuaku Reijou desu wa 1

Author: Yuuna Asana

Illustrator: Hanagata

Label: Kadokawa Beans Bunko

Release Date: 1 May 2019

A satisfying novel about a girl deciding to break free of her cage. This was very different from what I was expecting it to be, in a good way. The marketing for this is weird. Unlike what the title and cover would suggest, the protagonist, Roselia, is actually a very kind person, though she does have her cunning moments. She smiles to cover up her true feelings but not... like that. Renveild, the grinning boy on the cover, is much the same and I’m not sure why they’re grinning like that on the cover when they never seem to in the actual volume...Well, I must admit that I may not have read this if not for the intriguing cover but still.

Anyhow, I really liked this volume. It had a cute romance and charming characters and was just really fun to read. I’m excited to read the next one when it comes out in February! Recommended for fans of sweet romance stories.

Story:

Genre: Romance, Otome game setting, Isekai (kind of - the protagonist isn’t the one who was isekai’d), Made for girls

Roselia is known as the “Rose Princess” - a being that is said to cause a calamity - and is thus confined to her house, shut away from the outside world. One day, a knight named Cadio wonders into her garden by accident. Their meeting triggers a change in Roselia that will affect the future of the world.

There’s is a reincarnation element but Roselia is not the reincarnated one so it’s quite refreshing, in that regard. Instead, Cadio and Rutee, the protagonist of the original game, are reincarnated. I really liked this element, especially as Cadio confides in Roselia about his reincarnation which was really nice to see. I’d like to see more isekai stories where the reincarnated person talks to someone else about it.

The romance between Roselia and Cadio is incredibly sweet and adorable. They're equals at every turn and it's a joy to see them learn more about each other. The pacing was also really good and the writing style was smooth and easy to follow and the story manages to make itself stand out among other reincarnated-in-an-otome-game light novels. I really enjoyed myself reading this and I’m looking forward to the next one.

Character:

Roselia is an incredibly charming protagonist and I really liked her. It was nice seeing her break out of her cage of her own free will. Cadio is very cute with his love of sweets and honest personality and his relationship with Roselia is sweet. I was very satisfied with most of the character journeys in this volume, though were two characters that stuck out as underdeveloped. Even Roselia's servants get some good development. There are two other female characters, aside from Roselia, but neither of them are developed until late in the volume so there isn’t much female friendship going on.

Adaptation Notes:

The manga adaptation is illustrated by Konami Asato and the first 4 chapters are available to read for free on web-ace.jp. It's quite good so far and Asato's art conveys the characters well.

Recommended for:

People who enjoy isekai plots, as well as fans of sweet romance.

I'll definitely be buying the next volune when it comes out on February.

[zuzzent]

It's definitely viewpoint question. And I personaly don't work in the industry so it's only just a subjective commentar.

Although I need to say the good quility sometimes is equal with budget. The bigger studios have bigger budget with designer and dressmaker teams. Sometimes 20 people work simultaneously on only one dress, while with lower budget or for indie films they only have one or two person, sometimes without any dressmakers, just stylists.

And as @xenadd said, the time period, deadlines, suppliers, all are important parts of the industry and could be costly.

And there is clearly a difference between cinematic films or stream films or shows. Shows need more durable costumes for permanent use, while in films it's only one film.

For example The Witcher's designer needed to rewamp for the second season when they had good costumes and really bad ones. The first designs were usable, but ugly, the second's are giving more 'LOOK' vibes, but seems little unpractical.

-

I personally adore 101/102 Dalmations (1996, 2000) and Anthony Powell's work in that films. And yes, the Cruella (2021) movie was kind of disappointment to me, where they took away Cruella De Vil theatrical costumes.

HOWEVER as someone already point out in the comments the 'disney' Cinderella(2015) was phenomenal, Sandy Powell (mainly for the female leads) and Maheen Khan (mainly for the male lead) did a really good and quality job to recreate the fairy tale vibes with princessy way.

And there is Black Panther (2018) which was also in full with beautifull costumes. Rute E. Carter showed me so much culture that I didn't know about before.

And beside dizníj... (I don't like the new era 'Disney direction' in films, but I like their costumes.) ... there is other really cool movies with beautifull costumes.

For example the DC costumes are magnificent. I know lot of people has problems with them, BUT those are really good designs to me with a lot of inspiration from comics. I really don't know how many women (and men also) recreated the Wonder Woman /1984 (2017/2020) costumes, and that shows its value as good designs. And I will not start on The Batman (2022) design because I will not shut up.

And also Coming 2 America (2021) has also marvelious design -again- from Ruth E. Carter. It's a Paramount/Amazon production and the photos speaks themselves.

Or there is the segment that I didn't mention yet, the HISTORICAL (fiction) shows/films. Emma, Little Women, Bridgerton, ecetere are really popular right now and some of them have good and accurate costumes with quility.

the decrease in costuming quality over the last 20 years has been soooo precipitous & nauseating. i’m not even talking abt marvel’s cg supersuits or anything this time, look at the fabric quality, structure, layering, character, and craftsmanship of older costumes in 102 dalmations (2000) vs cruella (2021)

ever after (1998) vs cinderella (2021)

lord of the rings (2001-2003) vs the rings of power (2022)

this trend should upset you not just because it looks cheap, but because it suggests a strong anti-art and anti-labor movement in film and tv making. don’t forget costumers are unionized

Heels (Bucky Barnes)

Bucky Barnes x Fem!Reader

Words: 1151

Warnings: smut and ermm smut

All mistakes are mine as always.

Request and perm tag list are open now:)

You adored wearing heels. They were sexy and made you feel good. They suited you and you loved it. So yes you really, really loved heels.

But Bucky loved them more.

The first time Bucky saw you with heels on, he lost words. His mouth opened and closed like a fish and you could see how his cheeks turned red. It was funny and you kept wearing them around him just to see his reaction.

That was before you started dating. Now whenever he saw you with heels, especially with those red ones, Bucky just carried you in his arms and fucked you against the closest wall. You loved these fucks.

That's why you went shopping and that's why you were wearing a new red and high -really high- heels.

Bucky's face when he saw you enter the room made you smile to yourself.

His eyes were fixed in your shoes, only moving when you started walking to him.

Bucky, grabbed your hand, intertwined his fingers with yours and with a smile on his face he made you turn around.

''Fuck me. You look so damn hot in those. Your legs look so fucking incredible'' You smiled and thanked his with a kiss.

Bucky held your hips, and with a growl threw you into the bed. He rapidly put himself on top of you, kissing you again. You wrapped your arms around his neck moving your body closer to his kissing him back.

''You are going to be my death.''

Bucky didn't waste time, he ripped your dress off of you. You gasped and looked at him with a pout in your face.

''The dress cost me 50 bucks! You need to stop breaking my dresses, Bucky.''

He smiled licking his lips at your almost naked body. ''But love, I love breaking your dresses.'' He moved his right hand and touched your pout with his fingers. ''Stop pouting love, you adore it too.''

He kissed you again, his lips touching yours with a sweet rhythm that made you shiver. Bucky's kisses were always sweets, even when you fucked, he let himself lose in your mouth as his tongue danced with yours.

He moved his hands all over your body, letting his fingers brush against your skin, soon his fingers met your panties, already wet because of his kisses.

''You are always so ready for me. I love it.''

In one shift, your panties were broke too. This time you didn't say anything. His hands were distracting you too much and you didn't mind anyways.

Bucky's mouth went to your neck as he let his finger get lost between your folds, thanks your slickness his finger went smooth on you. Your moan echoed the room as Bucky moved his finger around your pussy just collecting your wetness.

''You are teasing...''

''And you love it, sweetheart.''

You couldn't deny it even if you wanted you loved his teasing.

You were ready for him that his fingers slid inside you with ease. Your mouth hung open when he started to slide his finger inside you slowly. He, then, touched that point making you clench around him.

''Bucky please...''

You didn't need more saying, he moved away from you, tearing his clothes of off him.

''You are so perfect''. You said as you watch him.

Bucky was perfect, in every sense of the word. He hated when you told him that but honestly you wanted him to believe it so you kept telling him.

''No, I'm not but you are tho. I could eat you alive right now.''

His eyes fell to your legs, he bit his lip as his eyes went down right at your heels.

Bucky could feel his cock pulsing at the sight of them.

''Fuck, you won't believe how much I love your legs and those.''

He caressed your legs, the touch made you shiver and you bit your lip at how Bucky looked so damn gone at the sight of only your legs.

In a moment he had your legs around his hips, ruting his cock into your entry he kissed you again. Slowly he entered in you, inch by inch he let himself slide inside you.

''I really love being inside you, Doll.''

You nodded agreeing. You love to have him inside you too.

Wrapping your arms in his neck, you moved your hips making Bucky go deeper.

''Fuck. That feels amazing.''

He let you move for a minute on your own, before he started to move. Every thrust he made was well aimed and was making you feel dizzy.

Groans and moans filled the room, Bucky's hand tangled in your hair as he kissed you, moving his hips making his thrust more rapid.

You were about to come.

Wanting him to move deeper, you wrapped your legs stronger around him, making your heels press in his back.

Bucky got the message and moved deeper inside you, leaving your mouth and your hand, he leaned on his right hand as the other one moved between you two aiming for your clit. He didn't miss a thrust as his fingers started rubbing your bulge of pleasure.

''Come for me baby''.

You did, you clenched on him, legs trembling as your orgasm took you over. Bucky smiled at the sight, you looked so damn sexy coming.

His thrust slowed down a bit, letting you recover.

''Fuck, that was amazing.''

''I bet it was baby. Want to come again?'' His moved your legs, hoping on up making the angle better.

''Yes. And I want to be on top this time.''

Loving the idea, he rolled you two over. Now, he was capable of see every thing of you.

''That's a good view.''

''I completely agree.'' He looked so damn good beneath you.

You started to move your hips in circle, you were still sensible because of your orgasm, so you didn't want to hurt yourself going faster than you could take.

Bucky put his hands to your ass, helping you bounce faster, starting to find a good rhythm for you both.

His cock was touching every right point and you began to clench around it.

Bucky sensed it and groaned as he kissed you hard.

''You gonna come for me baby? Go on, come around my cock.''

Bucky rested his feet onto de mattress and began to thrust into you, you cried out as you balanced yourself grabbing on his arms.

Within seconds you were coming. Wave after wave of pleasure that left your whimpering and trembling.

''You are so fucking beautiful''. His thrust began to slow down as he felt his orgasm approaching, his cock twitched, and he pulled out, jerking himself off spreading his cum all over your ass.

''Fuck me, doll.'' He kissed you face as you both relaxed into each other's arms.

''So, you loved my new heels I see.''

''You have no idea, love. You really don't.''

rute is adorable. rute is legendary.

     honestly  burton ,  YOU  are  awesome ,  you  are  legendary ,  and  i  love  the  fact  that  we  got  to  meet  again  in  his  hellish  website  after  so  long  !!

[carnelianwings]

sorey and rose for the character ask

(For this ask meme! Already answered: Mikleo, Magilou, Judas, Jude, Estelle, Eleanor, Hubert, Rutee, Lenneth Valkyrie, MCU!Wanda, Laphicet, Lailah, Rondoline, Milla, Asbel)

Also, in case it needs to be said, I’ll be doing both of these for game/manga-canon.

For Rose:

How I feel about this character: I went into Zestiria knowing absolutely nothing about her - no, for real, I actually kind of ignored a lot of Zestiria’s promotional material (just wait until you get to my answer for Sorey, anon, you guys are going to laugh so hard at me  XD).  So I didn’t know anything about Alisha leaving the party, I didn’t know anything about the fandom reaction (although I’d heard it got a lot of negative reviews, but I’m very much a “I’ll withhold my judgment until I’ve actually seen/read/played the thing myself” type).  So my initial reaction to her?  Damn, she’s an awesome assassin.  I wanna play her.  And as I got to know her better, and got to know her history and the world lore for Zestiria, she made more and more sense to me.  I also love that she wasn’t set up to be Sorey’s Love Interest either (that role was very very very definitely taken by the water seraph in the party, much to my shock and surprise, lol) and she was shown as a successful businesswoman and assassin, and honestly, I love her.  She wants to make the world a better place, and she’s not afraid to go all the way and do what she feels is right.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: Alisha, low-key, not really a major ship, but if it’s written well, or drawn well, I’ll read/reblog it.

My non-romantic OTP for this character: Sorey.  I love their dynamic, I love that she recognizes Sorey’s shortcomings and his reluctance to take a life, and I love that she’s willing to cover his weaknesses with her strength.

My unpopular opinion about this character: I didn’t find it all that puzzling that she didn’t generate malevolence as an assassin, especially after taking Berseria’s story and lore into account.  What generates malevolence isn’t so much the action, but the emotion behind it.  What sets Rose apart is that she has no doubts as to what she does.  She believes in what she does and her mission and that it’s the best way to make the world a better place.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: I do wish they’d been a little clearer in terms of what actually happened that day with the prince, Rose, Dezel, and Symonne, because that is, to me one of the weakest parts of Zestiria’s otherwise excellent writing.

For Sorey:

How I feel about this character: Sweet cinnamon roll, just wants to see all the ruins in the world with his basically-immortal boyfriend, just wants everyone to get along, human and seraphim alike.  Oh, and did I mention whenever he smiles it’s like the sun’s come out?  No, really, that’s Sorey right there.  He’s also super determined, loves ruins, and adores Mikleo.  He might be a bit rash at times, charging headlong into things, but he always keeps his friends’ safety in mind, always thanking them when they help him out of a tight spot or just to show his appreciation for them coming along in the first place.  Especially Mikleo, since he gushes about him all the time, even when there should be other priorities.  Like, say, getting away from a hellionized Cardinal Forton, lol.  I also just love how he manages to have this ideal, this heavily romanticized notion of what it means to be a Shepherd, actually becomes the Shepherd, and then sees the world and how it responds to him, but never once starts resenting the world or hating the mantle of Shepherd - if anything, all these hurdles he faces only makes him more determined to do what he can to make the world a better place.

EDIT: I can’t believe I forgot to mention this, but, I initially didn’t much care for Sorey with the initial promo material release.  I thought he was going to be another Lloyd, or Stahn - really idealistic, book dumb, sleeps all the time.  Then I actually played the game and actually got to know him, and man did my opinion do a 180, lol.  Basically over the course of my first playthrough I went from “shrug Not a bias, he looks like he’s going to be another typical nice guy Tales lead” to “He’s a sweet nice guy with a massive crush on his Childhood Best Friend, and I must stan and protect him at every turn”.  What can I say?  Actually playing the game and getting to know him made a huge difference, lol.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: In case it wasn’t obvious between my above answer and my url and my answer for Mikleo, Mikleo.  XD

My non-romantic OTP for this character: Rose and Alisha.  I just love the dynamic he has with both girls, which are entirely platonic, in my opinion.

My unpopular opinion about this character: He’s not bland, he’s not boring, he’s not dumb - Sorey’s actually really book smart and grows a lot as a character.  It’s not obvious or fed to you on a plate, but it’s there if you stop and take a moment to think about it and do all the side quests.  He starts off very idealistic, and he really does remain that way all game, but he also learns about the world and how much he’d have to sacrifice to save it and possibly change it.  And in the end, he really does give up everything - Zenrus, the only parental figure he’s ever had in his life; the rest of his life as a human, in exchange for purifying Maotelus; his human friends, since he knows it’s going to be centuries before he awakens again; and Mikleo, in a way, because even if they reunite in the end, that’s still centuries of time Mikleo experienced and grew without him.  And honestly, tell me this - how many characters can go through everything, see everything, and still kill the man who made them kill their father figure without harboring some sense of anger or revenge?  Sorey’s strength of character shines through in that one moment, because he kills Heldalf in the end, not out of a sense of revenge or anger, but to free him from his suffering as a Mercy Kill.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.  Y’know, I’m pretty happy with his story, but I would have loved a Big Damned Kiss with Mikleo, complete with the romantic strings and camera pans, lol.  After everything both boys have been through, they’ve earned that happily ever after in that second epilogue.

(Because whenever I see your name now, I remember the sheep plush...) Stahn for the ask meme? :3

that is a good thing to be associated with, i approve :3

How I feel about this character: I LOVE HIM??? i didnt expect to, honestly, and at first glance he didn’t really stand out to me, but stahn’s such a ray of sunshine that it soon grew impossible not to like him. the exact moment he managed to endear himself to me was when i was playing PSX Destiny, trying to walk around and get richer by looting, only for stahn to tell me “this isn’t mine, i should put it back.” i tried it so many times because that’s sort of the expectation with modern rpgs, right (and granted, psx isn’t very modern, but i was playing it in 2016 soooo), but he told me that every time and it was such a unexpected thing that i kind of laughed and loved him a little more right away. i adore stahn to death and he’s one of my, if not my favourite Tales protagonist. 

All the people I ship romantically with this character: ahaha i’m sure it’s entirely clear already but– my OTP is Stahn/Leon. it’s a doomed ship, but i’m just so entirely sold on their dynamic in the remake? leon tries so hard to push everyone away but stahn never gave up on him, even for a second, and it worked! leon was about to take his hand! not that it mattered considering what ended up happening lmao but of all the party members, i don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say he affected leon most. and stahn’s raging grief immediately following leon’s death was completely heartbreaking. 

…i actually do ship Stahn and Rutee together as well, i think they bonded nicely and were a good match, too, it’s just that everything else tends to get buried under my passion for Stahn/Leon…

My non-romantic OTP for this character: everyone in the party, really, but that answer is cheating so i think i’ll settle for Dymlos? compare their dynamic from the start, when Dymlos is mostly exasperated, to the mutual respect and bond they shared at the end…it was great.

My unpopular opinion about this character: what even is an unpopular opinion about stahn…uh, i guess sometimes i see people calling him a boring shounen stereotype who doesn’t develop, and that’s super wrong. stahn develops nicely throughout the game without ever changing the core of who he is, and i love that about him. the first half of the game allowed him to be naive and innocent, and then boom the second half happens and we see him crack under the pressure - only to eventually push himself back up again, surpassing the others and emerging as a true hero. 

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: i’m pretty satisfied with his character arc, haha. i think the one thing i would’ve loved to see a little more is just Happy Family Times with kyle and rutee, but that’s just me being indulgent because i’d just happily sit down to watch an entire slice of life show about them, lol. not really a story necessity.
