HELLO XENOBLADE FANDOM!

Ever think about XC1 being the only game without a prequel? Well, I can fix that!

Here's a 10 chapter, 26k word fic I wrote about the time of the Giants, Egil, and the possession of Arglas!

[void-kissed]

Hello friend it's ya boi Berry I saw the post abt what fandoms would ship irt your SIs and as someone who spent hours looking at ships in this fandom I have thoughts.

Sapphire: Nia would def be a ship w her. Mythra as well, I tend to see most characters shipped w one Aegis often shipped w the other. Her excitable nature playing of Mythra being more guarded would intrigue people.

Calanthe: Shion/Koshion ot3 deffo would happen. That fandom is wlw paradise for ships lol. Helps she and Shion have a lot in common -- invested in KOS-MOS, glasses for reasons other than eyesight, Zohar shenanigans.... T-elos in saga and 2 both would also happen. Similar to the Aegis situation I find.

Aline: Def would be shipped w Haze as well as prolly her and Lora as an ot3. Her and Brighid also feels possible -- jewel of Mor Ardain and a village girl would go hard for ppl. Curve ball here but Avalon as well. Blade Driver pairings are super popular and I figure that'd extend here too -- they're friends so some ppl would ship em.

Citri: Fiora and Shulk predictions are spot on. Reyn would also be a potential one bc of the similar childhood friends angle, tho might be more popular w her in ot3+s. Melia also feels incredibly possible, actually -- people in recent years have really been feeling her wlw vibes and chances are she'd have cute interactions with Citri, making her a potentially popular choice. Linada might also be one of only bc she and Vanea are somewhat shipped -- ship her w one gf why not the other? Lots of ot3+s here specifically would happen I think.

This has been berry can't sleep and is autistic about ships in xc fandom hour. Thank you

HELLO BERRY THANK YOU SO SO MUCH FOR THESE and also I really hope you were able to sleep. Sorry that they took so long for me to write out responses to!

Sapphire with Mythra would be pretty interesting actually, especially with the context of Mythra first appearing in XC2 not too long after Sapphire joins the party in Chapter 3. Not perhaps the best of introductions Plus, with Mythra’s connection to Poppi, that’s another way the two can kind of come together despite being quite different personality-wise! And, I can also definitely see shipping happening with Nia, haha. Not only out of catgirl solidarity, but there's also a Blade Eater/Flesh Eater contrast, which is made more fun by the fact that the Blade whose Core Crystal is in Sapphire was a healer Blade~

Today I found out that Shion doesn't wear glasses to correct her vision either, huh. I didn't realise they were a sentimental thing for her (from what I read on the wiki)! Anyway - yes, you're right that Calanthe and Shion do have possibly a bit too many similarities, oops, but you're right that it would definitely make them fit ships! Shoutout to Xenosaga for all the wlw ships, honestly. t-elos is someone I had not considered, but honestly now you mention it I can absolutely see it. Calanthe is not an overly confident self-insert, so that combined with t-elos' general demeanour would be quite the contrast, hehe. Plus, if going by her XC2 version: glasses solidarity again!

I would definitely call Aline with Avalon a curveball for the reason that Avalon isn't attracted to girls (I keep considering shipping them with Minoth, or possibly one of the other two male Blades), but at the same time I can see it persisting despite that, given what some people are unfortunately like. I will readily admit I hadn't considered Aline with Brighid, but I can definitely see the logic in it, haha - you're right that that kind of trope can be pretty fun! And, yes, Aline with Haze does definitely sound very cute, I can definitely imagine it ^-^

Regarding Citri, I don’t know how I forgot about Melia! My first attempts at making an XC1 self-insert was to selfship with Melia, actually - that self-insert was a fellow half-High Entia, also called Sapphire but without XC2 Sapphire's energetic-ness. Citri has actually probably turned out somewhat similar to that initial iteration, now that I think about it, despite her lore now being different (and me thinking of her as an alternate version of Calanthe, not of Sapphire). In terms of the others, I can definitely see them happening through OT3s specifically, as those would give more opportunity for more dynamics to develop properly, you could say.

..Sorry that this took me so long to properly get to, but thank you so so much again for sending this in, friend!! It really means a lot that you took the time to write this out in such a way, so thank you ^-^

Headcanons on Seven's anatomy and physiology

The game gives hints here and there of what it's like for Seven to be more machine than flesh. Naturally out of curiosity, I wanted to dig more into that aspect, so here we go.

-Her head, spine, and upper torso remain organic, and all senses are still functional (vision, hearing, taste, touch, etc).

-Organs and viscera that are still intact: heart, lungs, blood vessels, some bones (skull, spine, sternum, ribs), liver, spleen, pancreas, respiratory muscles

-Organs removed: stomach, small intestines, large intestines, uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries

-The digestive and reproductive tracts were probably seen by Face Mechon bioengineers as unnecessary, and especially after Fiora was gutted through by Metal Face, there's even less reason to salvage them.

-Lacking reproductive organs, naturally she wouldn't be able to have children with a Mechon body. At the time she had that body, the fact made her pretty upset and she tried to hide her distress from the others.

-Because the stomach is removed, but she retains her head and neck, the esophagus leads to a dead end that was surgically sewn shut. She can taste and chew food, but it won't be able to get past her esophagus and get digested. If she tries to eat anything solid, it sits in her esophagus and gives her heartburn. She ends up needing to vomit and regurgitate anything she tries to eat.

-Urinary system (kidneys, bladder) is still intact. Mechon Fiora may be only drinking water, but that has to be processed and filtered somehow.

-All four limbs are prosthetic/mechanical. The upper extremities are prosthetic all the way up to the collarbones, which are among the bones most prone to fractures. To minimize that risk, they are synthetic as well. The lower extremities are prosthetic only up to the pelvic girdle, which is still bone. 

-Her fists and feet being entirely mechanical, she can punch and kick through steel with painless ease, when the same moves from the average Homs could shatter knuckles and toe bones.

-With more metal than muscles in her body, Fiora is less prone to lactic acid buildup that causes fatigue. Powered even more by Meyneth's Monado, she has the stamina of an Armu and could hike for days without signs of tiring.

-Her spinal column is reinforced with rods and screws for stability and durability. This helps her survive blows and impacts that could cripple or kill the average Homs.

-The head gear is surgically implanted, similar to how real-life Mayfield pins are attached to the skull during neurosurgeries. Fiora can't simply take it off like a crown or a tiara. She tried to remove it once and nearly passed out from the pain.

-Her head gear has a built in radar and tracking device that collects data from her surroundings and transmits them to her brain. 

-She has cochlear implants that grant enhanced hearing. With them, her hearing ability is comparable to that of a vang.

-The drones she carries on her back dock into the mechanized parts of her spinal column, which establish a neurological connection. This lets Fiora command her drones that can detach and maneuver remotely by the will of her thoughts.

-Neurosurgery had enhanced the function of her nerves, leading to superhuman reaction time and reflexes, but at a cost. If she overexerts herself, the strengthened, rapid firing of electrical activity could send her into seizures. This is the main reason why Linada cautioned Fiora not to push herself too much. While traveling and on the move with the party, Fiora is on a strict schedule of anticonvulsants formulated and prescribed by Linada. Because Fiora can't take medicine orally, such as pills, the medication must be given intravenously. Sharla is the only one skilled enough to safely give Fiora injections. Missing a dose exponentially increases the risk of having a seizure. Even when compliant on the regimen, Fiora must take care not to get overzealous in the heat of battle.

-The additional double-edged sword to Fiora's enhanced nerves is heightened detection and sensation of pain. She would suffer from flares of neuropathic pain that can't be treated. All she can do is grit her teeth and ride it out. She gets less frequent episodes if she rests well and doesn't overexert herself, but the baseline pain never goes away. The pain gets worse with dehydration and cold temperatures. Valar Mountain is like a torture chamber for her.

Melia/Dunban:

Would give Dunban an actual purpose in the main plot. Dunban is a history buff and knows more about High Entia than the others. He also took the most personal investment in the High Entia Tomb subplot next to Shulk.

Not to mention that scene when everyone gets split up on the Fallen Arm - who is Melia left with? Dunban and Riki. Who is the one who sensed what Riki was actually trying to do when he stopped for fish? Dunban.

Yes I know High Entia age 4x slower than humans and he would die before her time, but that didn’t stop Melia from falling for Shulk (seriously he already has Fiora he doesn’t NEED another romantic subplot). Also if not for Dickson’s dickery she would have had to take two husbands (heh, two dicks? Okay I will see myself out) anyway.

Also semi-unrelated but why TF wasn’t his arm restored at the end? If Linada can bring Fiora back to human she can certainly restore the use of an arm. Almost like the story forgot he ever existed…

Melia/Tyrea:

Would not have happened since, well, the game came out in 2009 and unfortunately makes them stepsisters.

But Future Connected came out in 2020 and if they wanted to go this route they could have made her a child of a random Bionite order member who died and Yumea her adoptive mother. And have the story no longer draw attention to the stepsister part as aggressively as it does normally (this means no more Nene spouting cringe ‘sister-pon’ BS).

As for the Alcamoth royal line, Teelan could be their adopted son IG. Alcamoth has been through enough shit that the people can look the other way when it comes to a gay relationship. Especially because blood purity is what did them in to start with.

TLDR - I believe in Melia getting over Shulk supremacy.

My Xenoblade Chronicles Hot Take:

Melia should have gotten with either Dunban or Tyrea. Yes I am going to elaborate.

Homs Linada

[unconsentual-ascension]

Good morning Tumblr, I did an art

[pollyanna-nana]

for bingo 👀👀 naesala por and linada xb

Naenae is. Such a funny character. Secondary antagonist/antihero who’s just a backstabbing bird man pirate. He’s such a jerk and I got so mad at him at parts of PoR and especially RD and that’s lovely. Honestly top tier character even if he isn’t in my favorites and I have a friend who really likes him despite never finishing Tellius bc well, he is A Good. I think the fandom is too picky abt the blood pact stuff when it comes to Naenae like yea it’s dumb but it makes sense for his motivations!

And uh. Geez. This is embarrassing but I didn’t remember who Linada was so I had to look her up and I audibly said “OH SHES THE LADY WITH THE BUTT ON HER HEAD!!” So I guess that’s my feelings on her lol oops. I should really replay xbc…….

I apologize for the lack of original content lately. Been struggling with anxiety and all.

I did doodle a robot doc in the meantime though. Hope it suffices ~
