In which Odette and Cyrus are so close, they get mistaken for a couple. While the label is incorrect, the strength of their bond is equivalent.

@stars-and-loops MAVERICK I HAVE WRITTEN IT

[zazu75]

More Sprite art! Because... I got requests.

So @vibecenter13 wanted PrimHaan. I made two versions of one:

Then @ssnowprince asked for... a bunch! Eisenbright, Haanbric, Haalaic, Alfguel, Ophiliza, and Therizeph.

And then @gemmielf asked for Cytheri and Brightgrass.

And @moqi2004 asked for Cecidette

And that's all!

self-indulgent birthday posting whilst i wait for midterms to end

god i cannot wait to go even more radio-silent

but uhhhh have House Azelhartisms for now I guess

[thedramaticduke]

Fun story, when I replayed Octopath I accidentaly started the side quest with Alaic in Victors Hollow. It wasn't my plan, but I was like, hey, I just have to go two steps, I'll help him out. And then I got surprisingly punched in the face with his story, why he was with Susanna and why he's the way he is.

Similarly to Odette - I always loved her in Cyrus' chapter, but I had no idea she had a connection to the Azelharts. It wasn't much but it felt so cool, like the whole world is connected and everyone has to tell a story.

And it made me realize what I love about this game. That those are just silly, small stories - but I want to hear all of them.

Octopath Traveler brainrot is taking over and I've come to a realization that I will say with sheer conviction: Octopath Traveler's sidequests are genuinely almost as good if not outright on par with Xenoblade X/3's sidequests.

While the side quests in Octopath may not involve any party members specifically, it sure as hell does a lot in the way of world building. There's numerous quests that aren't simply one offs and extend over multiple sidequests, and even then the one offs can still have interesting world building to it. there's so much to the world and it's history which would be pointless to shoehorn into the main character's stories. There's way more going on than what a simple band of 8 focuses on and I love it.

Even if voice acting is relegated to main story only, theres a lot of memorable NPCs that if you see them again its less so a 'Oh right, thats who you were' and more often a 'Oh hey it's you again!' Not to mention that many quests often have more than one solution, providing a different outcome in the process.

[attackontreason]

Someone may have said this before but like, we find out that Odette was really close to Primrose's father in one of the late game side quests so it would be reasonable to believe that Odette knew Primrose since she says she saw Geoffrey before he died

Odette and Cyrus are also friends and if Geoffrey had such an impact on Odette's life then surely she would have spoken to Cyrus about him and little Primrose

So Odette really should have recognised Primrose and since Cyrus is basically Sherlock Holmes he really should have figured out that the Primrose Azelhert he was travelling with was related to his best friends father figure

Really what I'm saying is that there was potential for some really deep party chats that were totally missed and frankly as a result there is a really great fic opportunity

best ship for each traveler?

OPHILIA: I like haanit best because they are both such. complete. fucking. morons. that said ophilia has great chemistry with like, half the fucking cast, she’s so aggressively bi and so surrounded by hot people and unsure what to do about it. RUNNERS UP: primphilia, therilia (though allow me to say, straight people have done therilia real dirty). alfilia could be good but I just like the dynamics better for both of them with other people

CYRUS: olberic. he’s basically sticking his ass out and begging olberic to fuck him sometimes. that banter where he speculates that olberic is bad at swimming because his muscles are too big, what is that? cyrus! stop being so thirsty!! unfortunately for him olberic is way too into erhardt. RUNNERS UP: odette, who can dom him like he deserves. therion because their dynamic would be good

TRESSA: it’s odd because even the ships I do have for tressa are very like. lowkey. she is a baby. tressa/money. in seriousness, I’m about even on tressa/ali and tressa/noa but in both of them she is just Dumbass On Main and has to learn from them how to do absolutely fucking anything

OLBERIC: erhardt. one hundred percent. I have a soft spot for pining betrayal stories with homoerotic undertones (see my love of hyde/bradley from hotel dusk) and olberhardt has so many good bits of it. erhardt’s guilt and olberic’s inability to let go of his damage but both of them having a very distinctly implied good ending where they are gonna get married and have a thousand dogs and crazy filthy sex every night

PRIMROSE: prim needs someone who is not a shitty dude, poor prim. I think the one I ship most of her options is primphilia because I like the contrast of dark vs light, prim looking for things to believe in and ophilia having plenty of options for her, prim maybe turning to faith after her story is complete and the two of them getting to know each other. THAT SAID haanrose??? primit? praanit? is also good. real good. haanit and primrose. I don’t know the shipname. haanit is so, so, so goddamn gay and prim wants to protect her naive ass. RUNNERS UP: I like shit where prim is into olberic but olberic is too gay to be into it back and they become good friends. prim/simeon is interesting for background fuckup damage, the same way therion/darius is. more on that later.

ALFYN: therion lmao. I want therion to get everything he wants and he and alfyn are a really good contrast and alfyn needs someone to keep him realistic and grounded instead of getting lost in his head and/or the clouds. to be honest though I have several ships for alfyn. he’s just got too many good options. alfion? good. alzeph? good. alfilia? good. I could even get behind like, him and prim, he just has a very good positive energy that I feel could balance out a lot of other characters in a way that would lead to interesting chemistry

THERION: ALFYN!! therion needs someone who can bring some brightness and honesty and open affection into his very guarded and very prickly shell and I feel, like I said in alfyn’s thing, that he and alfyn could bring a lot of balance to each other’s lives. also there’s a whole dynamic you can get into where therion has Darius Damage and alfyn helps him recover and did you notice alfyn and darius are both themed with the color green and darius is weak to alfyn’s signature moves and gashgkjadh. RUNNERS UP: therilia (see above straight people comment), therion/darius (therius?) for Therion’s Past Damage purposes (I appreciate that fandom has understandably latched onto this because I feel those undertones are definitely deliberate)

H’AANIT: ophilia lmao two dumbass gays on main who desperately need help and have a lot of banters. Haanit is very grounded despite being very naive and ophilia is very idealistic despite being very world wise and I feel it would play off each other well. also, haanit is incredibly hot. That said haanit/prim is also crazy good. and tbh haanit is good with pretty much any woman, she is so aggressively lesbian. I know about that chat about wanting someone stronger than her but as a lesbian who used to give nonsense answers about the sort of men I wanted to marry: lol

Title: The Orsterra Region, Chapter 1

Fandom: Octopath Traveler

AU: Pokemon

Word count: 1901

Warnings: None

Summary: The Orsterra Region is the melting pot of the Pokémon world. What adventures await both new and experienced trainers in this vast and dangerous region, especially with the darkness stirring in the criminal underbelly?

The Orsterra Region was like a melting pot for Pokémon. Pokémon from all of the other seven regions could be found here, scattered throughout the eight vastly different sub-regions. This particular region could be a very dangerous place, even more so than the others, so anyone looking to become a Pokémon trainer had to be at least 18 years of age to do so. After making the trip to Atlasdam and obtaining a starter Pokémon from the Pokémon Professor, new trainers could then choose to start at any one of the eight gyms in the region, one located in each sub-region.

The Frostlands are, well, frosty. Snow covered the land year-round, and while there are a variety of types that make a living here, it is most known for its abundance of ice type Pokémon. The gym for this region is located in Flamesgrace, and its leader is Ophilia Clement, master of fairy types. She may seem like a sweet and benevolent woman, but do not let that fool you; her Alolan Ninetails and the rest of her team will give any trainer a good challenge. Ophilia is also the new archbishop of the Church of the Sacred Flame, after the passing of the former archbishop, her adoptive father, Josef. The Frostlands are ruled over by one of the 13 gods of Orsterra, Aelfric the Flamebearer, and his Pokémon friend and partner, Arceus.

To the east, the unrelenting snow and cold gives way to the green-filled meadow region of the Flatlands. It is a melting pot within the melting pot of Orsterra, and Pokémon of almost every type can be found here. The flat meadows are especially popular with Pokémon that travel in herds, such as Tauros, Miltank, or Mareep, and there are many farms dotted about the region for raising those particular species. The gym is located in Atlasdam, which is also home to the Royal Pokémon Academy, where new trainers can study before setting off on their own journeys, but a lot of them tend to skip past the schooling portion and start their gym challenge right away. The gym leader is Cyrus Albright, who is also the headmaster of the Academy. He is tasked with helping new trainers choose their starter Pokémon and send them off into the world as prepared as possible for whatever challenges they may face. Cyrus is charismatic and intelligent, abit a little dense when it comes to picking up certain social cues, but his smarts really shine when he is in the midst of battle with his Charizard and the rest of his fire types. The god and Scholarking Alephan watches over the Flatlands, alongside his partner, Lugia. Another god, the Starseer Steorra, is said to reside in the more dangerous part of the region, with her partner, Deoxys.

South of the Flatlands, the tropical region of the Coastlands is home to many port towns. It is easily the center of commerce in Orsterra, and many merchants make their humble beginnings plying their trade in this region. Seafaring Pokémon thrive here, and it is a fisherman’s paradise, although they must always be wary of running into an angry Gyrados, Sharpedo, or Tentacruel. The bustling tourist town of Rippletide is where the gym leader, Tressa Colzione, resides with her merchant parents. She often leaves town to travel and sell her wares in other regions, as well as to find treasures to bring back and sell at her parent’s shop. Frustrated gym challengers sometimes have to wait for her to return from her trips before being able to challenge her Kangaskhan and the rest of her normal types, and others are lucky enough to run into her on the road and challenge her there. She is spunky and determined, and she is often underestimated due to her young age, but she makes those who doubt her abilities regret it with her skills in battle. The Coastlands are watched over by the god Bifelgan, the Trader, and his companion, Celebi.

The southern part of the Coastlands leads into the cool mountains of the Highlands. Rock, ground, and fighting type Pokémon thrive in this region, and hiking through the rocky roads is a good challenge for trainers of any experience level. The gym is located in the humble town of Cobbleston, where the equally humble and stoic Olberic Eisenberg awaits with his Machamp and five other fighting types to do battle with any who would challenge him. He also trains any who ask in the almost lost art of sword fighting, and he always has a surprising number of people eager to learn from him. Brand, the Thunderblade, is the god who resides in this region, alongside his partner, Thundurus. Deep within the more dangerous depths of the mountains, another god - Balogar, the Runeblade - rests peacefully with his partner, Keldeo.

The western edge of the Highlands gives way to the harsh desert region of the Sunlands. The intense heat and irritating sands are a shock to visitors, but the desert inhabitants are unfazed by the ruthless climate. Fire and ground type Pokémon love the heat and sand, and often steel types that can shrug off the whipping sands can be found here as well. The gym of this region is located in Sunshade. It was once a place that harbored a horrible secret, but is now a respectable town, all thanks to the efforts of the gym leader, the beautiful and graceful Primrose Azelhart. She is a gifted dancer, and when she is not making quick work of her challengers with her Salazzle and other poison types, she is teaching excited children and adults the art of dancing. The Lady of Grace, Sealticge, is the god of the Sunlands, and watches over the region with her companion, Suicune.

Moving further west, a lush, grassy region known as the Riverlands emerges from the desert. True to its name, a large river runs through the region, making it a perfect home for water, bug, and grass type Pokémon. The riverside village of Clearbrook is where trainers must go if they wish to challenge the gym of the region. Alfyn Greengrass is the leader, and the carefree and positive man will happily accept any challenge, his trusty Venusaur and other grass types always ready to get down to work. Outside of gym battles, he is a renowned doctor for both humans and Pokémon alike, and people travel from all across Orsterra seeking his treatment, and even advice with their own medical practices. The Charitable Dohter watches over the Riverlands, by the side of his companion, Shaymin. In the more dangerous wilds of the region, another god quietly resides. She is Winnehild, the Warbringer, and her partner Cobalion helps her to watch over the region.

North of the Riverlands lies the Cliftlands, a rocky region set upon a high cliff. Flying type Pokémon are abundant in this region, as they love to make their nests in the many small caves that line the cliff faces. Those who venture into these caves many also stumble upon ghost, dark, and psychic types, and should exercise caution when interacting with those who dwell in the dark. The town of Bolderfall is where the gym leader, Therion, will be found. He is normally quiet and keeps to himself, but has a surprising talent for acting, and is often seen playing the lead role in plays put on by the lady of House Ravus, Cordelia. There are rumors, however, of Therion dabbling in less-than-savory activities in the dead of night, but he always brushes them off as just that: rumors. If you do challenge him to a battle, be cautious: his Umbreon and other dark types are a force to be reckoned with. The god Aeber, also known as the Prince of Thieves, declares the Cliftlands his domain, alongside his partner, Darkrai.

The final region of Orsterra, the Woodlands, is set north of the Cliftlands and is situated in a large forest. Many dangerous grass, bug, and flying types make their homes in the dense foliage, and more often than not inexperienced trainers will find themselves lost in the maze of trees if they wander too far off of the beaten path. S’warkii is where the gym of the region is located, and it is a town full of experts on surviving in the harsh wilds of the Orsterra region. None are more skilled than the gym leader, H’aanit, whose no-nonsense and pragmatic approach to teaching these important skills attracts many aspiring trainers who wish to learn from her. If you wish to challenge her, be wary: her Luxray and other electric types will deliver a shocking defeat to those who underestimate her. Nestled in deep in the forests of the Woodlands, the god, Draefendi the Huntress, observes her domain, alongside her stalwart companion, Xerneas. Even deeper within the dense foliage, another god watches over the lands. He is Dreisang, the Archmagus, and his partner Cresselia is always at his side.

When trainers have defeated each of the eight gym leaders in each of the eight regions, they are ready to take on the Pokémon League, and will have to make their way to Victor’s Hollow, in the Woodlands. There, in front of the huge crowds at the arena, the challenger will fight the Elite Four members, and finally the Orsterra Region Champion.

First, they will face Erhardt, who originally hails from the birthplace as Olberic, and his steel types, most notably his dependable Metagross. Second is Odette, a former scholar at the Pokémon Academy, and her psychic types, with her Alakazam leading the charge. Third is the mysterious Susanna Grotoff, who is rumored to possess the powers of a seer, and her ghost types, of which her Mismagius is the strongest. The last of the Elite Four is Leon Bastralle, captain of a famous merchant ship, and his water types, his strongest being his Swampert. If the challenger manages to somehow best these four formidable foes, they will gain the right to do battle with the strongest trainer in Orsterra: the Champion, Z’aanta. He is the adoptive father of the gym leader of S’warkii, H’aanit, and is a master of rock types, commanding his Tyranitar and the rest of his team with a proficiency that very few others have ever been able to before. This lineup of expert trainers is the perfect test for those at the end of their journeys, and those who manage to defeat every one of them will indeed have earned the right to call themselves Champions of Orsterra.

As trainers and non-trainers alike go about their daily lives, a darkness is stirring in the deftly hidden criminal underbelly of Orsterra. A secretive, dangerous group called ‘Team Obsidian’, have started to show themselves, attacking innocent people and stealing their Pokémon and money for an unknown purpose. Also, unsettling rumors have begun to surface regarding the 13th god of Orsterra, Galdera, who was sealed away long ago with his partner Giratina after betraying the other gods and trying to steal their power for himself. The rumors say that he and his partner are finally stirring after eons and eons of being trapped in a plane of darkness. Surely they are just rumors, for if it is indeed true that the Fallen is trying to rise again, it would surely bring about the absolute destruction of all human and Pokémon life in Orsterra...
