HOW DOES HJE JUMP LIKE THAT IS HE A FUCKING DRAOON

[rinnysmuses]

"Heehee... Your draoon muscles are lovely! But it's also your eyes. Your hair. Your personality! Even if I didn't think you liked me; I still found so much that made you beautiful. You're like the moon."

"Me?!"

He paused.

"...Is it my dragoon muscles?"

Fenris’ name or “the beauty of intelligent conversation”

Not long ago my dear, gifted, insightful friend @lethendralis-paints and me shared opinions on Fenris’ name and the wolf symbol that it bears and I thought it was quite interesting. It’s simply fascinating how these games can give us not only joy and fun but also so much ground for speculation, interpretation and construal. 

So, what’s your opinion on it? 

Engage and share! 🥰

Here’s what we think about it!

lethendralis-paints:

Tbh, you probably noticed I don't use the wolf/dog metaphors concerning Fenris

lethendralis-paints

Danarius named him that and Fenris internalised this mentality partly. He breaks of the habit of referring to himself as a weapon, or in a detached manner "they know what I am" in time. I see this as part of his healing process and him protecting his personhood and building up dignity

I've thought so and I totally agree with you on that train of thought. Me, personally, I can relate to the wolf metaphor for two main reasons: Firstly, for me the wolf symbolizes strength, freedom, wildness - not in a bad sense but rather one of originality, purity, of the unblemished, the untarnished, the untamable if you will. In literature, the wolf symbol has always been one of ambiguity: of terror, of dismay, of the dark and the unconquerable on the one hand, on the other hand, however, one of aid, care, brotherhood and protectiveness. 

As a result, in human history the wolf has been both the feared hunter and the unrentlessly hunted. Having said this, secondly, to me, there are two sides to the “wolf” coin, figuratively speaking, to the symbol’s development: First, Fenris was the creature that was snared by Danarius, trained then, abused and requited in the course of that progress, then, after committing the greatest atrocity he can imagine (which actually makes him appear as the “evil wolf” of childhood literature), hence he’s finally being driven over the edge to break free, after all, by his own deed. Thus, he becomes the hunted hunter, the equivocal “wolf” that’s free and yet fighting for it’s freedom though not knowing what it is. Eventually, at the end of the game, the wolf that once was tamed like a dog evolves into its true nature, being both free and in relationships of his own decision, being both caring and fierce, how Fenris, as a person, was always intended to be. So, his name, “Fenris”, and the wolf symbol, become his past, present and future by transforming the metaphor he was once given unwillingly onto his own original personal one that neither fate nor master have power upon – only Fenris himself does.

I love hearing other people's opinions on characters and I can totally relate to your perception, too! As Bull would have said: "Nice talk, boss!"

lethendralis-paints

That's the beauty of intelligent conversation. We don't have to agree on everything, as we both know that everyone parses the information through their own life experience and concentrates on different nuances.

🤗 So, yes, that’s us jabbering 

(I might add more on that subject but ... I guess I tortured my keyboard enough on that.)

[Translation]  VAZZROCK bi-color Vol. 4 - ruby - Drama Track 1

Issa and Nao~ Issa and Nao~ My two faves from VAZZY finally! I got the files from a friend but I’ll be uploading my copy when I receive it this week! Same with all the other TsukiPro and seiyuu stuff I’ll receive by next week ^^

Track 1: [お騒がせは、朝にやってくる] “The noisy one has come in the morning”

Under the cut, enjoy~

Track 1: [お騒がせは、朝にやってくる] “The noisy one has come in the morning”

  ISSA: (snoring quietly)

(doorbell rings)

(Issa continues to sleep)

(doorbell rings again)

ISSA: … Shut up… What time is it…? (Issa checks his phone)

ISSA: Hah?! 7 A.M.? You’ve gotta be kidding me.

(doorbell ringing)

ISSA: Ah, shut up… Come back at noon.

(doorbell rings in a melodious tune)

ISSA: Ah! (Issa gets up) I said keep it down!

ISSA: (Issa walks over angrily to the door) Give it… (he opens the door suddenly) a rest already!

NAO: Gwah!

ISSA: I told you before to leave if I don’t answer in one ring, you idiot!

NAO: Ah… Ugh… It hurts…!

NAO: It’s Issa’s fault for not answering at once! Wait, is my forehead still there?

ISSA: Don’t care. Also, don’t call me without an honorific.

ISSA: Remember that already or else I’ll keep calling you an idiot.

ISSA: Issa—

NAO: …-san…

ISSA: Alright. See ya. (he tries to close the door)

NAO: Wah! W-wait a sec!

NAO: You just opened it so why are you closing it again!?

ISSA: It’s because the idiot’s being noisy.

NAO: You’re still gonna call me an idiot in the end…!

ISSA: (sighs) See here. If someone who plays DraOOn Quest’s1 opening on the doorbell is not an idiot then what is he?

NAO: It pumps you up, right?! Anyway, Issa, I’m surprised you knew it~

ISSA: Stu~~~~pid. (he attempts to close the door again)

NAO: W-wah—Wait, I said!

ISSA: Go. Back. To. Your. Room!

NAO: Don’t. Wanna!

ISSA: Come back tomorrow.

NAO: You say that but you keep breaking your promises!

ISSA: Huh, is that so?

NAO: That’s right! I kept waiting for Issa for at over an hour yesterday, the day before that, and the day before that!

ISSA: Learn to give up on that then.

NAO: Uwah—Don’t just suddenly let go of my hand!

ISSA: (sighs) Geez… Don’t make me exercise this early in the morning.

NAO: What part of this is exercise?

NAO: If you wanna exercise then have a match with me right now~ (sparkles)

ISSA: I refuse.

NAO: Why?

ISSA: It’s troublesome.

ISSA: Go on. If you’re satisfied then go back to your room.

NAO: As if I am! Quitting when you’re ahead is cheating!

ISSA: I’m not running away. You’ve never won once against me, right?

NAO: …! Th-that’s… It’ll change if you do it with me right now so…

ISSA: It won’t.

ISSA: More importantly, why do you wanna compete with me so badly?

ISSA: It’s fine if I’m not the opponent, right?

NAO: Don’t tell me… You don’t remember, Issa-san…?

ISSA: What?

NAO: When we met in front of the convenience store a month ago!

ISSA: Hah? Convenience store?

ISSA: It’s not strange for us to meet in a convenience store since we live in the same apartment, right?

NAO: That’s not the problem! Try to remember it properly!

ISSA: (in a sarcastic tone) Oh, I’m sorry. I really can’t remember~

NAO: So fast…! At least pretend that you’re trying to remember!

NAO: Like I said… It’s that…!

(flashback scene begins)

(Nao humming and vehicles can be heard passing by)

NAO: Ice cream, ice cream~

(convenience store doors open)

NAO: Hm? Oh, it’s Issa!

ISSA: Issa-san.

NAO: … Issa-san…

ISSA: Alright. (he drinks his beverage)

NAO: Eh? That’s it?

NAO: What’s with that ‘uwah, how annoying’ face?!

NAO: Let’s get excited like, ‘Woah! What a coincidence~” after we met here by chance! Come on.

ISSA: I don’t get why I should be excited to see you though.

(Issa starts walking away but Nao stops him)

NAO: Where are you going?

ISSA: Hah? Home, of course. Let go.

NAO: Eh? It’s a rare opportunity so shouldn’t you join me with shopping or something?

ISSA: Nuh-uh. There’s no reason for me to do that.

NAO: That’s too direct.

NAO: Che~ You’re so unsociable.

NAO: I won’t share my ice cream winnings with you if I get it.

ISSA: Say that after you win.

NAO: Just you watch. I may not look it but I’m pretty lucky.

NAO: I won’t give you anything even if you look like you’re jealous~

ISSA: (talking to someone else) Huh, what? I am, though. You want an autograph? I don’t have a pen so is a handshake okay?

NAO: Hm? Issa, didja say something?

NAO: Geh…! Why is Issa surrounded?

NAO: (slight gasp) Are those… what you call fans…?!

ISSA: (talking to his fans) Thank you.

NAO: Amazing! It’s so celebrity-like~

ISSA: Hey, you idiot over there. What did you come here to do?

NAO: These girls are your fans, right? I thought I’d join in.

ISSA: (sighs) These girls aren’t VAZZROCK or VAZZY’s fans, you know?

NAO: Eh?

ISSA: They’re fans of my band from long ago.

NAO: Oh, that.

NAO: Ah, maybe there’s one who knows me since I work with you now.

NAO: Ah, you don’t… I see…

NAO: I see… Yeah, that’s right…

ISSA: Even if you debuted that doesn’t mean that it’ll be well-known already.

NAO: Even though… we’ve been on magazines?

ISSA: Not everyone will buy the magazine, you know?

ISSA: We’re gonna get more popular after working hard from here on, right?

NAO: Is it like that?

ISSA: Yes, it is.

NAO: I see…

(flashback ends)

NAO: I swore ever since that day…!

ISSA: Oh yeah, that happened.

NAO: I’ll definitely be famous someday. That I’ll be a big star someday.

NAO: And that I’ll be more, more, MORE popular than Issa someday!

NAO: That’s why, Issa… Let’s have a match!

ISSA: Huh? Sorry, wasn’t listening.

NAO: LISTEN!!!

ISSA: Ah, I’m just kidding. I was listening.

ISSA: I was listening but I don’t really get it so I chose to ignore it.

ISSA: Why should we compete for the day that you’ll be more popular than me?

NAO: It’s to decide who’s better.

NAO: The stronger one wins, right?

ISSA: What’s with that logic?

ISSA: (sighs) You keep saying, ‘Fight here and fight there’ but that’s what you meant?

ISSA: At the very least your desire to improve yourself is admirable.

NAO: I don’t feel like that was a compliment at all!

NAO: Ah, geez… You’ll compete with me, right?

ISSA: Yeah, yeah. I mean, I go along with you sometimes, don’t I?

NAO: You only did so once out of thirty!

ISSA: I’m surprised that you’re still not giving up after losing that much.

NAO: Fufufu~ Have you rethought your opinion of me now?

ISSA: Yeah, I have, sure. See ya. (he tries to close the door again but Nao stops it)

NAO: Why do you say it like that!? I’m telling you to compete with me!

ISSA: And I said I refused, didn’t I?

NAO: Just once…! Just once is fine so please--!!

ISSA: That’s what you always say.

NAO: For the love of God, please…!

ISSA: Do you even know what that means?

NAO: I definitely won’t EVER leave until you say yes!

ISSA: You… That’s all you can talk about, huh. You’re a lot more thick-headed than normal today.

ISSA: Don’t tell me… Did you come here after drinking alcohol?

NAO: Don’t be stupid! I’m still underage!

ISSA: But your face is red.

NAO: (slightly slurred speech) Issa, fight with me…!

ISSA: Hmm… I wonder why. I feel like I’ve encountered something like this before.

NAO: Issa, come on, please!

ISSA: (to himself) He keeps repeating the same thing over and over again.

ISSA: Ah! I remember now.

ISSA: Futaba was exactly like this when he got a fever when we were kids.

NAO: (panting) Fight… with me…

ISSA: Hey, stupid. You said you waited for me all day yesterday, right?

ISSA: Where did you wait? Here?

NAO: Eh? Yesterday I…

NAO: Ah, that’s right. Since you weren’t here yesterday and the day before that…

NAO: I was waiting for you in front of the apartment.

ISSA: Outside…?

NAO: That’s ‘cause… I got bored waiting for you here.

ISSA: (sighs) It was raining, right? You had an umbrella with you, didn’t you?

NAO: I didn’t. I was waiting under the roof by the entrance.

ISSA: Hah? That’s a guarantee for a cold.

NAO: Hm… It wasn’t that cold…

ISSA: Even an idiot would get a cold after being soaked by the rain for an hour.

ISSA: Even an idiot, got it?

NAO: Stop saying ‘idiot’…! I didn’t catch a cold.

ISSA: Sure, sure, sure. You got guts saying that with such a red face.

ISSA: They told you that taking care of your body is part of your job, right?

NAO: Geh…! But… I don’t… have a cold…

ISSA: (sighs) I get it. Fine, I get it!

ISSA: (sighs) Good grief. I’ll carry you until your room so call over the Prince and have him nurse you.

ISSA: Come on, give me your hand.

NAO: Sure…

ISSA: …! You’re hot… You’ve definitely got a high fever.

NAO: Eh…? Yuma’s… not here today. He went home to his parent’s house.

ISSA: The Prince is not here?

ISSA: Then how about the manager— Ah, he went to accompany Takaaki somewhere.

NAO: That’s why let’s compete now, Issa!

ISSA: He’s completely out of it. Wait, more like, he’s being his usual self?

ISSA: It’s a new experience to see an idiot’s judgment not get clouded.

NAO: I keep telling you to stop calling me an idiot.

ISSA: I’ve got no choice. Guess I’ll ask Futaba for help.

ISSA: Where’s my phone… Ah, in my room.

ISSA: Hey, idiot. Lend me your phone.

NAO: Are you finally in the mood to compete?!

ISSA: No. I said, lend me your phone.

NAO: Ah… so you’re not…

NAO: Hm… here, my phone. Don’t make a call for too long.

ISSA: I won’t.

(he types a number and starts calling)

(phone ringing)

ISSA: He’s not picking up at such a crucial time.

ISSA: This call isn’t from Nao but from your brother~ Come on, pick up.

(he cuts the call)

ISSA: What time is it now?

ISSA: Tch. It’s about the time he goes out for a run.

ISSA: Here you go. (Issa gives Nao’s phone back to him)

NAO: Sure…

NAO: Are you done?

ISSA: He wouldn’t pick up.

NAO: You don’t have to call anyone, if you need someone to play with, I’m here~ (sparkles)

ISSA: Ahhh, shut up.

ISSA: I wanna run and escape to my room…

NAO: Issa! Play with me!

ISSA: When did your ‘competition’ turn into ‘playing’?

ISSA: Uwah… I know that it’ll be troublesome if news about this breaks out.

ISSA: Alright…

ISSA: Hey, walk properly.

ISSA: I’ll specially let you in to my room for now.

(door opens)

NAO: Inside…?

NAO: In your house~? (sparkles) Yay!

ISSA: I’ll warn you now. Don’t touch, break, and move anything inside this room.

NAO: Eh? Why?

ISSA: It’s obviously ‘cause it’s my room.
