Relationship dynamics between my oc and the Crisis Core characters: Part 2

Genesis

The story of their friendship, summed up:

———————————————————————

They don’t get along at first, and it’s a problem. Genesis hates the idea of another magical master climbing the ranks at soldier

There is a rivalry that Genesis attempts to initiate. Elyse isn’t interested; she doesn’t want drama so early in her work life at Shinra (especially since she’s already known for being the adorable daughter of a materia Professor, Professor Tetherann)

At some point, with the other soldiers watching (including Sephiroth, who is waiting to see what the newbie does), she does reciprocate the rivalry, but she tries to remain cold and professional on the battlefield, rarely engaging in banter

It isn’t until she banters back about his Loveless blabbing that she really gets anywhere with learning how to defend herself in a social situation (and notices the lively reaction of her colleagues when she finally does, which then motivates her to find other bantering phrases and a few insults)

At one point she beats Genesis in what was supposed to be a practice spar on magic attacks only. Genesis was the one who challenged her, and she had had enough, going all out to get him to leave her alone.

Deeply humiliated, Genesis retreats.

While at first Elyse is happy to be rid of such tense energy, she notices how Genesis retreats, and makes a point to talk to him once the excitement subsides.

She learns from Angeal about the long standing friendship between them, and asks for his advice. Eventually, Angeal takes her to see Genesis, and Angeal being the person who understands both of them, talks to Genesis before Elyse apologizes.

With a bruised ego it takes a while for Genesis to warm up to her, that is, until he sees a playbook in her hands after a weekend vacation; they then quickly bond over their mutual love for the fine arts, fashion, and other things

Genesis is a gossip, and Elyse is a good listener, who is pretty good at keeping secrets unless absolutely necessary

Once that entire rivalry arc is over, they’re like siblings: Genesis won’t stop teasing her about her crush on Sephiroth once he figures it out, and tries to give her advice

Big extrovert brother+ introverted little sister dynamic where older brother embarrasses little sister a lot

The one thing they can agree on doing, however, is causing chaos on purpose with their magical masteries

They have definitely set shit on fire/caused explosions to get training canceled (for various reasons, a common one being that they wanted to spend time with ASZC)

The only problem is that sometimes Elyse is a little shit and doesn’t take credit with him (because no one suspects her and it’s funny)

So the two have some occasional tugs of war in power, mostly initiated by Genesis, but they do learn to get along and become friends

Warning: Spoilers below the cut:

———————————————————————————————————

Elyse didn’t suspect Genesis’s desertion until she realized how many soldiers left with him

It wasn’t until Angeal disappeared that she connected that Genesis would also be involved

Their relationship as friends slowly falls in shambles because Elyse doesn’t realize that degrading affects his mental state

As a result some nasty things are said in their encounters, particularly Genesis has sensitive information about Elyse because her mother also deserted Shinra to be in league with Hollander (he’s the one who tells her she’s an experiment, and that if she doesn’t leave shinra, Hojo will try to turn her into breeding grounds for his next project concerning soldiers)

Genesis’s sneering eventually causes Elyse to snap, and she fights him in battle

She defeats him a lot more easily than she thought he would, and it isn’t until Sephiroth pulls her away that she realizes she had gotten stronger than Genesis

It was the angriest Elyse had ever been at Genesis, and it was terrifying, and unfortunately their last encounter before Nibelheim

It isn’t until Elyse realizes much later that both Angeal and Genesis were degrading, that she pieces things together.

Elyse, during her journey alone after Nibelheim, unleashes the cries and sorrow her journey held, sending her sorrowful apologies to the planet, including her sorrows for Angeal and Genesis. Even if they don’t meet again, her message is carried to where Genesis is sealed away. She will never know this, but Genesis will receive her message at some point, as the apologies are acknowledged by Minerva and the Lifestream

Anyway, after months of observation and hesitation, I’ve finally started interacting with the Far Cry subreddit. We’ll see how that goes...

[geddyqueer]

this feels almost too personal to admit even on tumblr dot com... but one of the most important character traits i always give to my blorbos is "yogurt enjoyer"... i can't vibe with a guy who doesn't seem like he enjoys a good yogurt

[lumilasi]

I guess I'm done with mermay for this year huh.

Anyway, I recently watched some playthroughs of Hades 2 (and 1) and I really loved the character illustrations they had, so I wanted to try and sort of take inspiration from the style, and see what I can learn from it.

I decided to draw Helias for this experiment, as he needed a design upgrade anyway. I have few other characters on the drawing list too that I'd like to utilize for this.

(I'm imagining Helias is speaking to the kids of my story's main fam, Hitomi and Ichirou, in that bottom fake screenshot. Shaell is their 'Deity/King' as their family are Soul Eaters, although only Helias refers to him by his first name, he's mainly known as Amaros)

I left the BG for the last one simple as I currently had no proper ideas for it.

(ALSO. I can't believe it took me almost 10 years to realize that Helias' name came from a greek myth. I LEGIT forgot about Helios being a thing, I did not give my boy a similar name on purpose I swear)

ok i made this before the horrific soup vs liquorice drinking vid and i thought alright if people just choose the fruity flavours or the sweet chocolate and coffee ones then it might be ok. but i fear it will be a horrible mix of both AND the soup and liquorice now

[thatskynews]

OK SO. Lore

Krills reside in Wasteland, the place currently experiencing constant cloud cover.

krill were not there before the cloud cover was there.

Krills also reside near the top of Eden Peak.

in-between wasteland and eden lies vault...

so why havent krills spread to vault?

In the crescent oasis, krills are seen in the final quest. when a storm is raging.

ok so. krill have bad eyesight. they kill creatures of light.

but when the krill try to attack something but realize it has the Krill Juice on it (krill repellent) they fly away. Crabs just so happen to produce Krill Juice. on their bodies.

perhaps crabs (their children) get mistaken for light creatures and get attacked, but the krill's antennae detect the pheromones (krill juice) and divert before any harm can be done.

Crabs have shells, their real bodies are exposed in the bottom thats why they pull their legs in when they get attacked but not flipped and also why they hate being flipped

krills have metal exoskeletons and their real bodies are inside and thats why krill are so clink clonk

So krill are adult crabs. but why dont krill exist in the kingdom before wasteland and eden were engulfed in storm?

ITS SIMPLE

crabs can only fully mature DURING A STORM OF THAT SIZE

THE STORM HAS DIED DOWN THATS WHY ALL THE CRABS IN WASTELAND ARENT KRILLS

crabs: forest, valley, wasteland, vault, eden

krill: wasteland, eden

the crabs are everywhere but the krill are only where there was once/ is a great storm

,... if i was a spirit in sky i would be the Crazy Krillologist

putting my answer under read more as it's long -ymir

Crabs are actually have signs of being native to the realms (see: the passive crabs from Sanctuary, that iirc don't shed darkness), and seem to actively be mostly corrupted by darkness (the crabs from the shard events having active darkness on them, leading them to become hyper aggressive and those passive crabs do not attack players).

Crabs are creatures of the dark, but it is likely from the fact they're suppose to show that darkness has always been in the realms and that before what wiped out the spirits it was very peaceful (mostly). Places like Hidden Forest were darkness mining sites, and it likely made many sickly and polluted the areas leading to the rain being worse. The bells used to call the rain away and to call for the rain likely was used to try and control the dangers of this build up, controlling when spirits would have to take cover most likely.

The description of Prairie's Elder pin also pushes at it being an agricultural center for the Realms, as hinted by its landscape as well. It is VERY likely the bells used also pushed away the pollutants from hitting Prairie as heavily (but it still hit the lower regions, seeing Sanctuary's large darkness plants and pollutants.)

Darkness affects Valley less due how high it is, but it still has gotten hit due to how close it is to the center of the factories. Golden Wastelands was where a good majority of the factories were (and mostly off to the side from the main path, but WERE linked and using pipes to move around darkness), and due to this, it had become highly polluted over time leading to the dangers and likely pushing for new solutions to lead away the creatures that were becoming a problem, as well as internal fights. Wastes HEAVILY hints to it being highly dangerous but made mostly to try and protect Vault from harm and protections against enemies (in some old concept art, there's some old details of other things that was planned originally to be some dangers, but most aren't much a concern to consider due to being scrapped). There's more things about vault that makes me curious, mostly the use of HOW the archival systems work likely using a mixture of darkness that reacts to light to produce energy (which we do see in places like the abyss areas iirc and no longer simply concept art). the use of darkness here likely also caused there to have some spills or leeching to allow darkness to affect any creatures inside as well. The Ghost light creatures inside are their own curiosity to me, but not of concern here too either.

but Eden? oh boy.

Eden obviously has architecture of a very important site to the culture of the spirits at least, and it's also very likely used to be a factory of it's own or at least some sort of possible experimental grounds. (there are hints of other things, but ya know, silly lil things :)!) Eventually the eye is shown to have occurred, and is possibly shown to have started to chip off as well.

why did I write down a good summary of the lore linking towards darkness in general?(skipping over some other seasonal stuff mostly) I think the krills can be from multiple things in origins in reality.

Krills are beings that hunt light, and can still be tricked from covering yourself in darkness. The potions of krill repellent likely use darkness to make it look like it would for their vision of crabs, darkness falling off of them. it's likely made to be far more safe for skykids though.

Krills- or dark dragons, could simply be mantas corrupted, whales as well, etc. They could easily be many species put into one. They're dark creatures caused by the pollution of darkness, typically pushed on by darkness taking over an entire area, suggesting that they're an entity of darkness as a whole. They react the same way dark crystals do as well, turning red and hurting light creatures. They're simply seemingly following the dark crystals and how they react. Blue dark crystals are ones that show that they are not longer active or have reached a neutral state (likely the state they were originally mined at and then refined away from), and the skykid statues you can not help on the path at the end of Eden before the Eye's storm have these blue crystals growing on them that no longer react to skykids and you can't revive these two skykids leading to the chance of them being from the mass explosion of energy of the Eye's start.

Storm clouds are a sign of darkness in Sky, its very likely rain from before was less dangerous. Crabs being thrown FROM the shards could be crabs grown from the darkness or originally in that sacred area that ate up the remaining light left over from light creatures going to be reborn, which could be a point of them simply originally being scavengers of sorts like some real crabs.

Krill horns likely do have their own use most likely than possibly being antennae, I believe personally them being mostly for the advantage of being able to still attack their prey: making it difficult for prey to escape from flying over the head due to the krill's head without the horns being in the way. Krills metallic sounds could also be possibly connected to the darkness within them since darkness is far more solid than fluid (darkness creatures typically having sharper edges or entirely like smoke, compared to light creatures having this fluidity to them even when complex like skykids.)

Dark dragons are a curiosity though, given how they're created either way.

MEL MEL!!! i wanna draw your sona so bad but i cant draw humans :( do you have an animal i could maybe draw it as?

i mean, my sona is based heavily on a crow. but if you need an animal, and not a bird, a dog or a wolf could work.

[bluesinnamonroll]

Yhea so I have personal redesigns for these two or whatever, no i wont explain anything about them lol bye

[fiercestcorpse]

still absolutely baffled by the fact that when the untamed got popular on here you had people posting stuff like "i know it seems kind of weird and confusing for the first couple of episodes but don't worry, it picks up after that" like what the hell are you talking about. i loved the first couple of episodes. i was having the time of my life right from the opening monologue and it only got better from there.

Headcanons and relationship dynamics between my oc and the Crisis Core characters: Part 1 :)

Angeal

Headcanons

———————————————————————

Elyse looks up to Angeal as a mentor and big brother

Angeal sees Elyse as a pupil and a friend, sometimes like a younger sibling

Elyse was sent to work with Angeal originally for improving her swordplay (her main weapon is a staff; she sucks with swords at first until Angeal takes her in as a student)

She’s eager to learn and please, which he finds endearing, but also reminds her she doesn’t have to please everyone to be good at what she does

They both share an interest in cooking and dogs

When they do cook, Elyse has a stronger skill in a few particular dishes, but especially desserts and baking. Angeal is skillful all around. Both of them exchange ideas and recipes frequently.

On nights that they team up to cook for their friends, those dinner nights end up being some of the best

As his student, Angeal notices Elyse is also very puppy-like, which then starts the running joke that Angeal is a puppy magnet (Genesis says he’s a master dog trainer, partially to get the puppies’ goats)

Upon realizing that Elyse and Zack share similar energy, he once said “My goddess, there’s two of you”

Which then ensued in Zack and Elyse running with it, being a chaotic sibling duo

Angeal does appreciate the fact Elyse has a little more restraint than Zack does, and appears to know when to be mature at times

It doesn’t stop Angeal from having to be the dad friend though

The amount of times he’s lectured both Zack and Elyse is beyond the digits on his body

He has had to remind Elyse on several occasions that if she’s gonna rescue a dog from a mission, she has to keep it in her area (more crack posts about that later)

He will absolutely call someone out if they try to make a negative comment on Elyse (she is sensitive, and while she has learned eventually how to hide it, he doesn’t like seeing her upset)

Is a little protective of her when they’re out and about; he can tell when Elyse’s social anxiety is up

Inversely if she hears anyone talking shit about Angeal then it’s (verbally) on-sight

Angeal is one of the first people after Zack to discover Elyse’s crush on Sephiroth

He supports it, but seeing how opposite Sephiroth and Elyse appear at first, he’s wondering why Elyse likes him (other than reasons many people like him)

He doesn’t give as much advice on love to Elyse, as much as he does dreams and honor, and just generally how to be a professional

Spoilers below this cut

Warning: Angst, mentions of loss and grief

After the invasion on Fort Tamblin, Elyse is the first to suspect something is up with Angeal

When Zack is in denial of Angela’s betrayal, Elyse doesn’t say anything, but instead begins to ponder why that might be, as she is aware Shinra is not the most ethical company

When she does encounter Angeal after he leaves they are alone, and Elyse had been looking for her mother, who disappeared around the same time as Genesis

Angeal is the first to reveal to Elyse that her existence, like his, was part of a project (Elyse’s project is entirely separate, having been founded by her mother, and her mother leaves to rebel against Shinra with Hollander)

Angeal attempts to recruit Elyse, and reveals some stolen documents about ner origins, and mentions that her mother is alive and safe

Before Elyse gives him any response, she insists that they tell Zack and Sephiroth, so they can all leave together.

That can’t happen though, so they have a fight for the first time.

Elyse ends up wounding him out of strong emotions, and feels immense guilt

She ends up healing him before she leaves, and as this happens, her wings appear for the first time, and she panics, thinking she would be in danger if she went back to Shinra with them still out

She learns from the stolen documents that her wings are activated under certain circumstances in certain environments, which then allows her to keep the wings a secret for a while

Angeal and Elyse both have white wings, but Elyse has one on each side, giving her the appearance of a cherub.

She eventually learns that her wings are connected to JENOVA cells, and learns of project G from the stolen documents. When she learns of the defective genes of Angeal and Genesis, she feels empathy for them, but doesn’t excuse the fact they left without a word

She does see this as abandonment, and calls Angeal and Genesis out on it (this puts a rift between them, and it isn’t until Elyse realizes that they’re suffering from experimental defects that she realizes what’s happening to them)

Elyse is devastated, and she apologizes to Angeal at a rendezvous point under the alias of ‘Magdalene’, expecting nothing in return, but states that she can’t just leave her friends behind, and she will stay with them until they are ready to leave. She returns the documents to him, and thanks him for everything

Angeal respects it, and the two come to honor each other’s goals, even if they don’t agree

Elyse isolates herself after Angeal’s, only coming out to check on or seek Sephiroth for comfort because she knows how much Angeal meant to both of them. (When Zack is away in Costa del Sol, she doesn’t want to bother him on vacation, so she straight up has a depression moment for months on end after Angeal dies, and limits her own reach out of fear of bothering her friend)

When Elyse hears about Angeal’s spirit taking form, she confirms having seen that same form in a dream. She realizes the dream she had was real

In that dream, she begged Angeal for forgiveness for not understanding his situation earlier. He had granted that to her, and told her to continue looking after their friends, and to be brave in the face of things to come. He doesn’t blame her, and states that like many, she is another innocent soul caught in the crossfire of Shinra’s doing.

Elyse promises to Angeal that she will do everything she can to protect her friends. (This makes the ending of Crisis Core an absolute heart-shattering moment for all characters involved, Iykyk)

Phew! Anyway, I hope y’all enjoyed this :)

(I might come back and add more stuff later)

also like bc I know I keep yapping on about my nova au (the one where metal sonic makes an organicsona and ends up accidentally discovering being friends is a thing) and it’s probably confusing as shit bc you don’t know my 10+ years of dev on it so. here’s like. one sentence summaries of the plot of each arc.

heroes: “yeah haha guys i pretended to be your friend and deliberately took advantage of the grief you were feeling to steal your biodata and assassinate you but i like you so i won’t wait why do you hate me now”

shadow: could a depressed person do THIS *traumadumps to shadow the hedgehog*

battle: “haha look I’m SUCH a normal girly hehe ” *nearly commits patricide*

06: nova you cannot and i quote go sonic.EXE on those bitches every time someone threatens your boyfriend please we've been kicked out the country

unleashed: “me when my werewolf boyfriend-“ “OH MY GOD SHUT UP”

colours: “can you please stop trying to date my archnemesis while I’m trying to fucking destroy him please it’s so embarrassing” “l+ratio”

generations: “what do you mean attacking a twelve year old is immoral i thought he was an among us sussy baka imposter it’s fine.”

lost world: “wait shit i can turn other people into robots hell fucking yeah”

forces: *tortures you cutely uwu*

man i hate roblox roleplays that start off as silly little jokes that become more serious because i have a little guy now. a little siffrin variant but their lore is STUPID because when they were born (aka undied) we were still in the jokey phase so literal nonsense happened and i don't KNOW what to do... curse you stardust and your honestly exciting idea. so basically loop turns back into siffrin and siffrin turns into loop.

"but what's so stupid about that, tumblr user louie far o?"

it'll make less sense in context so here!!!!! (note really long and rambly + prolly makes no sense i'm so sorry)

ok you know how loops like a loser or something (idk i didn't play the prologue yet i'm mostly basing this off tumblr osmosis and how i roleplayed them don't kill me!!!!!!!) who ruins everything? WHAT IF absolutely crazy shit happened to them!!!!!

so to start off loop ended up meeting a siffrin they were fairly sure was the real one and fondly nickname them sleepyfrin because they look tired. they also meet hatfrin (sleepyfrin doesn't have their hat, hatfrin does) but don't like hatfrin as much as they like sleepyfrin (loop finds hatfrin annoying), so sleepyfrin's their favorite siffrin variant!!!!

anyway loop and bonnie end up egging the two siffrins on and trying to get them to fight, though of course sleepyfrin doesn't want to because he has like. morals or something boring like that. hatfrin's eager though!!!!

left loop and right loop (sits on the left side of the favor tree) (my loop sits on the right because i was stupid and forgot they sit on the left) end up beefing though i don't remember why (i think it was just a simple "there can be only one" thing but not entirely sure) the stars are fighting man. left loop and right loop are both trying to cook each other... bonnie gets popcorn and shares some with right loop (they absorb it??? idk they still don't have a mouth)

sleepyfrin sadly DIIIEES because they ate pineapple (left loop made them food that contained PINEAPPLE!!!!!) but hatfrin didn't (right loop also didn't because they don't have a mouth)

a little after that, bonnie also got hatfrin some pineapples and they and right loop basically guilt-trip hatfrin into eating it even though loop knew it'd kill him and then he loops, proving that HE'S the real siffrin. (right loop is not happy.)

they like. died because left loop built a BOMB to KILL right loop!!!!! (had glue so they couldn't get it off their hands.) they're told to defuse it but it doesn't really work out like that because the bomb would be very difficult if not impossible to defuse. the bomb EXPLODES so loop their little stardust DIIIE. (they were standing in the blast radius when it went off but on a good note so was sleepyfrin's ghost, so they undie because in this canon ghosts getting killed again makes them undie)

hatfrin loops again but loop is still dead (and now a ghost)

and then loop undies (something about how killing ghosts brings them back to life.) but this makes loop turn into siffrin and siffrin (formerly hatfrin) is turned into loop. this is a confusing predicament as there are already a couple other siffrins (just sleepyfrin at the time but confusedfrin also appears later on) (sleepyfrin's called that cause loop noticed they look tired)

sleepyfrin is ofc CONFUSED about what just happened. loopfrin tells sleepy to not look and that it'll make sense if they don't so they're like "ok." and he turns away for a bit. sifloop suggests that loopfrin pretends to be hatfrin and tells them where to find his hat (it's in the clocktower)

so yeah loopfrin just kinda skedaddles to go steal that hat. they return and sleepyfrin turns back to look at them and is like "what took you so long" (something like that i think) and loopfrin just kinda admits what actually happened, though it's kind of confusing.

so loopfrin renames themself stardust to not be confused with anyone else (but they'll still call other siffrins stardust so it's still very confusing. "Stardust!" vs ", stardust!") at some point confusedfrin appears (can't entirely remember how i think they were just also under the tree?) and they get the nickname confusedfrin because they were very confused at the time about what was going on. after confusedfrin appears the three siffrins aren't sure about what to do (mostly sleepyfrin) but then stardust gets a plan (totally not inspired by the one thing where siffrin and loop swap out every now and again) where the idea is they'll all pretend to be the same siffrin and interact with the party one at a time. stardust goes out first since the other two would rather not.

sifloop follows them. they meet bonnie and they come up with a story about how loop (actually sifloop) is a wish star that fell out of the sky and that they're going to help them get back up there and bonnie's like woaaw. skip a bit (i forgot part before this) and wowza it's mirabell!!!! stardust meets mirabelle and ends up accidentally spilling the beans about being in a timeloop (tldr got confused and thought mirabelle wasn't joking when she said she was trapped in a timeloop so they blabbed thinking they were both trapped and just never said anything to each other) and they feel so BAD and STUPID they RUN BACK to the favor tree and climb to the top where all they're friends are and start crying and freaking out cause they think they RUINED IT and that everyone knows now!!!!!!!!!

other frins try to comfort stardust but it doesn't quite work and at sifloop's suggestion they impulsively decide to run off to the clocktower to run away from their problems a bit. other siffrins chased them i think. they end up in the clocktower and i sadly miss the next part because i went afk but before the part i missed, it turns out isa and bonnie were downstairs and UH OH this is bad!!!!!!! stardust starts panicking and insulting themself because this was a STUPID IDEA and they're FUCKED NOW.

sifloop tells them to QUIET DOWN so the nerds downstairs won't hear them and they try to quieet doown... but end up having to hide anyway because skill issue. so stardust, sleepyfrin, and confusedfrin all end up HIDING and luckily aren't seen?? sadly then i miss a part but from what i saw i think confusedfrin and sifloop were arguing about something. stardust feels like. very terrible about everything and doesn't want to come outta the closet (they were hiding in there). sleepyfrin tries to talk to them but they won't respond, so confusedfrin talks to em and lets them know that they won't leave them behind. yk yk the whole moment is very sweet. (conversation went like this basically: "i'm so STUPID and RUINED EVERYTHING." "ok but i don't think anyone else would've known what to do in this situation." "why not just leave me behind?" "stardust listen. no matter what, we aren't leaving you behind.") stardust reluctantly accepts that confusedfrin just isn't gonna give up on them and decides they have to come out then.

yay the siffrin trio is BACK BABY!!!!!!!!! they come up with a new plan which is to basically pretend they're loop's guardians or something and they just happen to look like siffrin. they go downstairs and try it out!!! stardust gets to show off their charisma and stands on the table because they're cool. once they're done distracting isa and bonnie they RUUUUUUUUNN ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE FAVOR TREE!!!!!

stardust remarks that running from their problems has NEVER felt better and that they should do it more often! sleepyfrin and confusedfrin end up climbing to the top of the favor tree again and they have a conversation, though stardust isn't really paying attention at this point. sifloop suggests they just loop back but yk... they sadly can't because they techincally aren't siffrin. this reveal results in sifloop having an IDEA.... if stardust can't reset despite having physically become siffrin, perhaps sifloop can STILL loop despite being loop. but how to test it out? for a moment stardust forgets they have a dagger, that is, until sifloop reminds them of it. (first suggestion was to feed them pineapple like the first time stardust KILLED sifloop but they don't realize in the moment that it was a reference. dw they'll reference it again later and stardust will realize.) stardust stabs sifloop until they die, resulting in all the siffrins looping back to the meadow (but notably stardust is still a siffrin and sifloop is still loop.)

stardust wakes up in the meadow to have sleepyfrin tease them a bit about being a little sleepyhead, saying they should've been named sleepyfrin instead. as revenge, stardust makes fun of sleepy moments later when they get confused and says maybe they should've been named confusedfrin instead. sleepyfrin talks to stardust a bit about how they're upset they looped without warning the others (and also a little because they stabbed sifloop). they come to an agreement, that being that they'll ask the other siffrins before looping next time. sifloop on the other hand, is off talking to The Horrors (Mal Du Pays). no one properly recognizes mal du pays but stardust gets a little concerned cause mal seems aggressive and could be attacking sifloop. luckily for them, they get to avoid having a confrontation because mal du pays leaves. that is, until sifloop starts a SEARCH mission for them!!!!!!!

confusedfrin (as their namesake suggests), is a little confused about what happened both in and out of character (was afk dw we told em the LORE..) sleepy and confused end up following after stardust and sifloop for a bit before they'd end up searching the clocktower for mal du pays (sifloop saw them in the corner earlier) since sleepy and confused get the bright idea to just. not. and take a break so they can continue the conversation they were having before stardust RUDELY looped.

stardust notices they're gone and starts trying to look for them. they end up correctly guessing that they're back at the clocktower. stardust doesn't realize they were avoiding them and sifloop so no worries! they talk for a bit, stardust and sifloop have a convo where they reveal they no longer hate hatfrin (sifloop) and that they don't really have a favorite siffrin anymore cause they're all their friends now!!!! in this time sleepyfrin comes up with the idea of them having their own parties with a separate captain. sleepy and sifloop are one team, and stardust and confusedfrin are the other. stardust, being the captain of their party, decide that their party will buy sleepy and sifloop time by distracting anyone who were to discover team confusedstars, making it clear that if they're running away, sleepyloop better run.

uh oh Mal Du Pays at four'o clock!!!!!! sleepyfrin approaches mal and tries to free them. in return, they whisk em away to the void while traumatizing them with the voices of their party!! and NOT JUST them either, because poor stardust heard it too. the sound mal du pays made terrifies them so much they run all the way back to the favor tree again, confusedfrin chasing after them.

they're in full panic mode this time. they can't stop laughing, something's so funny they can't stand it. they let It take sleepyfrin. they let it take sleepyfrin. they let- oh heeeyyyy it's confusedfrin!!! they found stardust! yeeah stardust is not looking too good. confusedfrin tries telling stardust to calm down but YEEAH THAT DOESN'T HELP. HOW ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO CALM DOWN??? confusedfrin tells them to breathe. they're panting like a dog boiling in the sun. sifloop also tries telling them to calm down. they end up YELLLIING. CALM DOWN??? HOW ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO CALM DOWN? SLEEPYFRIN IS DEAD BECAUSE OF THEM! THEY KILLED SLEEPYFRIN! THEY'RE GONE!

sifloop: vro literally just loop. oh right they forgot they could try that. they're unsure though. would sleepyfrin WANT them to loop? should they really? what if it doesn't work? they consult their friends and come to a decision. they'll try out looping again.

wooo!!!!!!!!!!!! the wicked BEAST is GONE! sleepyfrin is BACK BABY!!!!!!! sleepy's kind of confused since once moment they were in the terror void and the next they're suddenly in the meadow again. stardust sees him and IMMEDIATELY rushes the poor guy and HUUUGGGG!!!!!!! they're so happy he's ok they're so glad sleepyfrin is back . in fact they're so glad they actually SCREAMED "SLEEPYFRIN!!!!!!!" when they saw them instead of calling them stardust. sifloop teases them ("when are you going to kiss?") and all the sentimentality is OVER. no more hugs. this is because stardust loves teasing but hates being teased.

and that's it... the... END.

...I might have to make peace with the fact that my current artstyle and energy levels lend themselves better to cell shading than to painterly shading

/ Since I mention in my pinned post that this blog has some changes from canon, I'm going to make a rundown post that I'll be linking in my muse info on my blog. My timeline post covers some of this too and has other things canon to my muse that aren't here because they're timeline based and not direct changes based. I'll update this as needed.

Repede had another owner before Yuri got him in the game. I'm combining this with FS. Thus, Repede would have been basically an infant when he and Lambert ended up with the knights. From there he took to Yuri as he did in the FS drama CD so Yuri was primarily in charge of Repede during his stay with the knights, but he and Flynn raised Repede together as is in line with the game. This means they continued raising him together even after Yuri left.

In the JP version of the game, Yuri says he was with the knights for a short time but doesn't specify how long that time was, so I'm completely yeeting the "three months" dub aspect from this blog. I can't reasonably assume he signed up, took the exams, went into training, went from errand boy to battle status, then went on normal missions and left in the span of three months. So as usual, we're following the JP timeline. Generally anything the dub makes up or actively changes from the original context/tone gets yeeted here.

In the FS drama CD, Flynn is extremely repetitive about Yuri quitting the knights and with his nagging. At least with @mistralxsoul and anyone else who prefers it the following way in threads with my muse, we're toning it down because it just feels absolutely batshit to us how bad it is in the drama CD (it's worse than even the movie itself).

Since the timeline for Yuri and Flynn's knighthood conflicts super horrendously between the novel, FS/FS drama CD and the game, I'm mixing all of it together (primarily because I consider the novel more canon than the FS drama CD). Basically (for my muse), they signed their names and didn't take the exams immediately, but when they eventually did it was at least a couple years later, due to Yuri still having his teen appearance when he signed his name to join in the novel. This is because otherwise, if I average my muse's teen age out to be fifteen/sixteen and his age to be about eighteen/nineteen in the knights, it would mean he'd been with the knights (including training, etc) anywhere from 2-4 years if his sign up was immediately after the novel's events. If they were to sign up and join immediately after the novel timeline, it also makes even less sense because Flynn's attitude in FS and his relationship with Yuri (and remember, the FS drama CD comes before the movie's timeline and Flynn was even worse about Yuri's attitude in the CD) would seem like it literally 180'd overnight.

So basically, to avoid all this insanity, a short summarized timeline for my muse would be: they signed up but didn't join right away, Flynn moved away and was gone for a couple years or so after the events of the novel, both of them changed in personality/behavior drastically in that time, they met up at the exams, they went into training, they got sent to Niren's squad, they were more errand boys than actual knights when they were still super fresh newbies and Yuri was extremely annoyed with that, they were actual knights for a while (I'm going to say Yuri was a knight for at least six months or more, especially if I consider the trajectory of Flynn's behavior toward him in the drama CD through the end of FS), the events of FS were not one straight timeline and things happened between the days etc etc, then Yuri left.

Following the game's drama CDs, Yuri hesitated a lot more when Flynn was injured at Zaude. If not for Flynn nudging him to go after Alexei even while wounded, Yuri wouldn't have left him there.

Following the same drama CDs, it's Raven and Repede who find and look after Yuri when he wakes up after Zaude. That is to say, Repede was already with Raven and lunged when he sniffed out Yuri in his room (super doggo powers). Raven followed Repede in a panic, who ran to Yuri's room upon realizing Yuri was there, and Raven finds Yuri awake but right in the middle of passing back out (the sound is basically Raven's voice being distant with some ringing, so it's from Yuri's point of view that Raven is trying to get him to steady himself but he passes back out). Raven takes care of him from there until he's recovered properly enough to go back. In this time, Rita did investigating and eventually, with the others minus Raven, went to Zopheir after deciding they couldn't dawdle and just wait in their grief. While they're there, Yuri and Raven have headed out after them and show up together and reunite with the rest of the group. Raven has already been updated on what Yuri knows from Duke at this point (Duke saved him as usual, but the drama CD changes come in after that), so the two of them update everyone else.

In the game, there's a skit with Yuri, Flynn and Karol where Yuri mentions "playing in a river", but in the novel, they were actually getting water at the river and the other kids were playing in the river when they got attacked by a monster, fell into the river (Yuri also mentions (I thiiiink in another unrelated skit) that just falling into "a river" was enough to panic him), and Flynn grabbed onto a merman. For my muse, I'm just going with Yuri simplifying the situation to Karol while keeping the novel's event as my muse's canon.
