🌠 14 Days Left! 🌠
Our last entry for today are two fantastic artworks by Lyhdyr of the Desian Grand Cardinals, Rodyle and Pronyma! These two antagonists, though both belonging in the same group, have different loyalties that sets them miles apart.

Here is my piece involving Kate for Day 15 on the Tales of Symphonia Countdown ( @tosrcountdown ) without the writing on it.
Below it are the chibi versions of Botta and Rodyle with his dragon included that I created for the piece. The dragon's body got cut off but it was all right because she was a big girl, but it made for some entertaining interactions with some of the other chibis!

"Something's bothering me. Lloyd said that Luna said we needed to bring Aska to make a pact with her. But we hadn't even met Luna before that point."
Tumblr media
"How would Lloyd even know that before we'd met Luna...?"

Now I'm totally considering a Symphonia-style TWEWY AU. I'm not actually going to write that since I already have my huge witch AU still going, but XD'' Thinking about how the TWEWY characters would be used in the Symphonia world is kinda fun~
...though I wasn't thinking when I first placed everyone into roles, so I accidentally made Sho into Neku's dad, whoops.
Anyway, who gets what role under the cut, for those curious~ Just know that with all that said, there will be Tales of Symphonia spoilers, and I highly recommend playing it without spoiling yourself if you can!
So, the roles--and keep in mind, this is just based on where they'd be starting in the world/some of the major plot points around them, 'cause uh... there's not a good 1-to-1 for like any of these.
Neku = Lloyd Shiki = Colette Beat and Rhyme = Raine and Genis Sho (*edit: or Mr. H) = Kratos Shoka = Sheena Rindo = Zelos Nagi = Presea Fret = ...Regal?? (with his dead best friend as Alicia >.>'~) Josh = Mithos
Noishe gets to be the Progfox, and you'll understand why I chose that if you've read my witch AU.
And... I have no idea for past that. >.>'' Like I'm sure Megumi, Konishi, Higashizawa, and Shiba at least could be four of the five Grand Cardinals, but who the heck would be Martel?? And Yuan and Botta?? I almost want to say Kariya and Uzuki for that, but then that would mean... DX'
Also, thinking about it again, maybe Mr. H should be Kratos instead of Sho XD'' But it was still funny to think of Sho in that role :D'' I mostly thought of him first due to NEO.

So, tomorrow it would a caritatif event in france call the Zevent make by very popular french streamer call Zerator would last between tommorow 6h pm at sunday 7th september 12 am (french hours).
This year, all the five frenchies have participed at QSMP (and also TheGuill84, JimmyBoyyy, Mynthos and Kenny have participed at the Purgatory 2) would participed and the donations would be make on their stream would gone for 5 associations : Bureau du coeur, Solidarité Paysans, Secour Populaire, Chapitre 2 & Cop1.
Also, during the Zevent many of way have donations, and one of the way would the ZPlace. This is like the famous R/place. And at any donations the people would at the streamers are participed (the minimum is 1€) at the ZEvent they would receive 10 credit they could use for add pixels in the Z/Place (1 pixel = 1 credits and it could upgrade for enforce your pixel but it would cost more of credits).
And so, it have a project make on the Z/place a hommage at the frenchies have participed at QSMP. This organized by Rodyll on Discord. They have already a idea for Pomme and q!Etoiles but they still search for people want make something for Q!Antoine, Q!Aypierre, Q!Baghera, Q!Kameto or also for Guill, Jimmy, Kenny or Mynthos. It could be artists want remake their arts on the Z/Place or created something new. And the frenchies could be alone or it could be in duo (for exemple Furryduo, Lampduo, Sweetduo, Gamebreakers, ChainsawKillers, CreatureDuo, Birdduo, CodeBreakers...).
The Z/Place would opened tomorrow at 6.30 pm and it would closed sunday at 11.59 am (UTC+2).
So if you interessed by this project you could contact the person on Discord (their pseudo is Rodyll). It would have on each Discord of the CCs it would have a room and I where you could talk about the ZEvent and the Z/Place (this the case for Etoiles and Aypierre's Discord and I think this is the same thing for the others).
Of course everything is make in a spirit of fun and spirit and this is firstly make for the associations that help people in need (and the Secours support the Palestinians associations since 1980).

Once upon a time I had a Tales of Symphonia OC called Reimi.
It was the early noughties. I was a teenager obsessed with 2 things - Tales of Symphonia and Full Metal Alchemist. I had seen on my favourite website at the time; DeviantART, that people would sometimes self-insert themselves into their favourite shows/games and even though I'd thought about it before, I loved these two things so much I finally decided to do the same and 'Reimi' was born.
Tumblr media
She was my ideal version of how I looked and because I was being bullied almost every day at school, the world of Symphonia in particular was a great comfort to me. Anytime I had a particularly bad day I started to draw Reimi.
Tumblr media
I did have one real life friend, my best friend from primary school and we'd chat on the phone every night. I convinced her to play ToS with me and the two of us fell down this rabbit hole and I made her an OC too. We called her Beatrix and she was Reimi's older sister. It was your typical 'human girls fall into fantasy world and crush on their favourite character' story. I liked Lloyd and my friend liked Kratos. We would roleplay them together and write stories for each others birthdays and Christmases. It got me through the horrible things happening at school.
Tumblr media
In time we started to make other characters. I decided I wanted Reimi to have a summon spirit - a polar bear called Meikai who could change between human and bear form. My friend had a similar 'devil' summon, Kainashi and I started to draw them as well. (Totally stole this from Sheena but it was very fun)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The final character we designed was Harvey - he was the only one we tried to give a canonical link to Symphonia. He was the Prince of the Tethe'allan royal family and Hilda's brother. The reason you never saw him in the game, we reasoned, was because he didn't want to be a Prince and left to travel the world in secret. He runs into our heroines and becomes a part of the group. I also wanted to write some love triangle stories at that point so he has a crush on Reimi.
Tumblr media
For a long time these characters were my whole life. They filled my brain and I would always be thinking of stories for them. The ToS characters always factored into these stories but I was too embarrassed to draw them or have anything romantic happening and that might have been because of the backlash I saw a lot of self-insert authors get. I kept my stories mostly off the internet.
Tumblr media
But I kept drawing them as the years went on, even designing bosses and creatures for them to fight, this was one such creature - 'Malcolm' the robot. One of Rodyle's machines.
Tumblr media
In time life got in the way. My friend and I didn't get to speak as much so the drawing motivation started to fizzle out.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I still thought and cared about these characters but there was no fresh ideas forming for them. As I got older I started to have less time for them.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is the last drawing I ever made of them and though you might still see me draw Reimi from time to time, its been years since I drew any of the others.
Tumblr media
I did use them for animation practise on my University course though
youtube
So that's where we are today. I had a lot of AUs for Reimi. You may have seen this potion shop picture before, it's one of my favourite ideas where Reimi is living in the slums in Meltokio, working to keep her family's store open by selling potions. It even got a Daily Deviation on deviantART! I'm sure most people didn't know it was a self-insert drawing.
Tumblr media
Another idea I liked was Reimi being the daughter of Kvar. She's grown up in the human ranches (though largely away from their brutality) and Lloyd's group visit is a wake-up call to her that what her father and Cruxis are doing may be wrong.
Tumblr media
I came up with way too many stories to list here.. but uh... maybe I did draw some Reimi/Lloyd art occassionally...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
and thats all you're gonna see!!
Anyway I just wanted to revisit these characters since I've been doing that with my books this month. Maybe you already knew about this, maybe you didn't!! It's just a fun look into my teenage self. I am trying to draw a new outfit for Reimi now, to see how much I've improved drawing her. I hope I can post it soon.
Thanks for reading!

Corrine's death is tragic, but... I wish the little artificial summon spirit had gotten a little more screen time before dying as it might have hit harder that way. For the player.
Though Corrine shows up a few times in Sylvarant during the first story arc of the game, Corrine doesn't really get much personality. At least, not until the second arc of the game when they're in Tethe'alla, after Sheena rejoins the group. We learn about Corrine's artificial nature and that he was experimented on - and emphatically did not like it. There are some skits that include Corrine, but those largely just reinforce that Corrine loves Sheena and would do anything to protect her.
And then Corrine dies, becoming the impetus for Sheena to tell Volt where to shove it.
And while Corrine is reborn as an entirely new Summon Spirit later - the soul is the same but the being is not - we don't learn all that much about that new Summon Spirit either. Though I do love the closure that side quest offers Sheena.
But I think there's impact lost by making so much of the interactions between Sheena and Corrine optional content - the skits - instead of having Corrine as a much more active character in the game before that.
Imagine there having been interactions between Corrine and all the other characters. How much Colette would have adored the small, fuzzy summon spirit. Corrine's death happens while Colette's been kidnapped by Rodyle - how devastating would it have been for Colette to learn that Corrine died as part of the effort to steal the Rheairds (phase one, never ending electrical power from Volt).
Anyway, there's a lot of room for drama in the fallout of Corrine's death, but he's so sidelined that it's easy to almost blink and miss the guy up until the point of his death.

Butterfly Effect turns 1 year old today :D (I pushed the release date on AO3 back in the day but it counts!)
For all 3 of you actually following the story, have a cute family picture <3
Also some Butterfly-Funfacts under the cut :)
The actual "Butterfly Effect" is actually not Raine turning to look for her mother in the prologue, but Kloitz holding Genis instead of Virginia doing so.
The flashback chapters are intentionally scrambled through the actual timeline as Raine doesn't exactly remember the order of events herself
Zelos did return several times to the spot where he met Raine for the first time. However at that point, she was already with Pronyma
Presea is still alive in this story. However she is held in the underground research lab in an isolated container, making her crystal grow under similar circumstances as Expheres do in human ranches. She dies during Raine's first test-run with Odin in Sybak.
Regal is also absent in this story. Mithos has him executed in order to take over his company
The spelljammers (both Tethe'alla and Sylvarant) are made and built by Lezareno company. The ones in Sylvarant are brought over by Cruxis and built by Desians
There's a total of 6 human ranches in Sylvarant (the original 4 as well as one in Triet and one in Hima. Both these locations were suggested by Raine
Sylvarant is much heavier regulated by the Desians. With several large borders, it's harder to manuver around, so most rebel groups are local to their respective city.
Raine manipulated the Cardinals enough so that they raised the minimum age for new recruits. She also made them offer childcare and education in their ranches. Kvar thinks it was all his idea though
Raine still caries a scar on her back where the flames of the Broken sprouted originally in The Broken Ones. It looks like a shard of broken glass.
Zelos made several trips to the Meltokio slums in his life, disguised under rags and looking for Raine
Both Zelos and Colette have elvenblood in them
The higher ups in Tethe'alla have their children operated on if they turn out to have even slightly tipped ears. It's common procedure, although it was made less painful after a few years. Zelos had a particular bad case of tipped-ear-syndrom which is why his ears seem unnatural if you look close enough
Raine in this story is nonbinary, preferes the 'she/her' pronouns though. She occasionally goes around as "Ray" having he/him pronouns
Raine is also demisexual
Zelos is pansexual. He's also the only one thinking of Raine as nonbinary, thus avoiding any pronouns for her as well as he can, which is also the reason he calls her 'Master' instead of 'Mistress'
Kratos is genuenly interested in Raine up until the Altamira incident
Although not explicitly said, Sheena tries to convince Zelos to leave several times while they are still in Sylvarant
The heavy accent Raine has naturally is a mix between her growing up with elvish and the accent they carry in Sybak. It sounds remotely like russian

Tales of Symphonia Stray Thoughts #12: Mizuho/Ozette/Toize Valley Mine
Tumblr media
-Orochi: “Sheena! How could you bring outsiders into the village!”
We learn Orochi is a pretty swell individual, but this is the first inkling we get that not everyone's warm to Sheena in Mizuho, which...I have feelings about. We'll get back to that in the Temple of Lightning post.
-I often credit Tales of Symphonia for many things -- be it my first foray into fanfiction or setting firm my progressive politics -- but I hail Lloyd as a personal hero of mine and almost nothing exemplifies that better here than his mission statement to Tiga here. From the very moment everything was turned upside down at the Tower of Salvation -- or perhaps even during Colette's angel transformation -- Lloyd's endured nothing but sacrifice, caste systems, racism, and bigotry. Tethe'alla's flourishing world was hailed as a promised land of abundant mana, yet beneath the glitz and glamour existed the very same societal ills that plagued Sylvarant -- and it was only a matter time before the scales were turned. And he's finally had enough.
Really, there's so much I could elaborate on this one scene alone. The gentle ocarina of Lloyd's theme, an assuring promise ensuring that every one of his dreams will come true. The first of many parallels between Lloyd and Mithos -- a tragic parallel that, despite Lloyd's protests here, he'll have to face by the end of his journey. Lloyd echoing the humble desire etched at the heart of every civil rights movement in history -- "I want a world where everyone can have a normal life." What's spoken (Sheena’s “yes, sir!” is as infectious as every word of Lloyd's speeches -- she's caught up in his vision too!) and unspoken (It's here Regal first learns of Lloyd’s compassion for others and undoubtedly motivates his compliancy with the group. I'd also like to imagine it seeps through Presea's heartless state as well -- perhaps the seeds of her humanity begin budding back here?)
It's all so, so good -- enough that I could write a whole essay about everything I just wrote here. I'm a starry-eyed kid when it comes to Lloyd's infectious idealism and I'm a sucker for that theme alone. Wading through the wretched history of real-world politics has undoubtedly proven a difficult journey, but I forge ahead in the values he instilled at a young age. If he can prove the impossible, so can I.
-Zelos: “Is he for real?”
...who’s he referring to here?
-OH MAN FINALLY REGAL’S PERSONAL. I've been reserving most of my equipment for customization purposes, so this'll be a big help.
-Aight Regal got his chef costume on. Look at my line-up:
Lloyd: Beach Boy
Colette: Maid
Genis: Katz Katz Katz
Raine: Glamorous Beauty
Sheena: WOW!
Zelos: Pickup Artist
Presea: Dream Traveler
Regal: God of the Kitchen
It's seriously goofy -- if I have time, I'll capture a group shot.
-"Reasons for the Shackles" has gotta be one of my favorites -- just the hypothetical visual of Regal running around clamping shackles on people always has me giggle. lol
-Ever notice how Lloyd acts all distracted when Presea runs off in Ozette? "Huh? Yeah..." What’s up with that?
-Man, Ozette checks all the boxes for my ideal high fantasy village. Houses embedded in a towering majestic tree, winding branches serving as natural staircases, nestled amidst an enchanted forest isolated in the idyllic countryside. Mmm! Talk about coooooooozy.
And how, pray tell, do they ruin it? Good ol' fashioned racism.
Like look at this fucker at the entrance – “THERE’D BE NOT BE ANY HALF-ELVES MIXED IN WITH YOUR GROUP…” like yeah okay creeper way to ruin my dream home
-“I wonder what went wrong in this village…”
me too buddy
-“It seems this village is the birthplace of the Pope”
what a shocker
-“Just so you know, I won’t sell any to half-elves”
jesus. Indoctrinating the kids when they're young. "Tranquility", my ass.
-Rodyle: “Only Presea can retrieve the Sacred Wood.”
...is there a particular reason for that? Hmm.
-Zelos roasting Rodyle, while funny, is random as all hell, lol. Love the banter between him and Genis, though.
-The presea house scene holy shit. Imagine her sleeping in the bed with her father’s skull staring at her
Anyone ever make a fic of this? Prime for horror material.
And the way the music just fades out…
-Colette tripping for no reason lol
-Tabatha: “I DO NOT KNOW IF THAT IS IN HER BEST INTEREST”
but why tho
(No, really, why?)
-“Perhaps it is because she does not engage in respiration.”
regal jesus christ what did you witness in those meltokio prisons
-In the "Use Your Head" skit, Sheena briefly mentions a "tunnel to Moria -- another Tales of Phantasia reference much as it is an obvious Lord of the Rings one.
Y'know, some may've wished for more intimate/elaborated connections to Phantasia, but after two decades I rather prefer Symphonia standing alone as its own thing.
-“Exsphere mines”, how do they work?
No, really, how? I went over some of this before in the Asgard Ranch post, but the whole Exsphere process isn't explained that well. I think we're supposed to understand it as Exspheres being mined in Toize, then shifting hands somehow from Lezareno to...Vharley? The Desians? Cruxis? Whatever the case, it's all over the place, although we can presume the chain of custody goes wrong somewhere -- leading to their interdimensional usage for Desian ranches. (And that's not even getting into the whole "sucking the lifeforce from humans" deal, which...well, let's wait until a certain sidequest before diving into that.)
We're told that human usage of Exspheres isn't common in Tethe'alla, yet we witness its applications to machinery such as the Grand Tethe'alla Bridge -- undoubtedly the work of Lezareno and whatever other megacorps deal in the Exsphere biz. So that makes sense, at least. Maybe. I dunno. If there's ever a remake, this is one of those things they gotta clear up.
-Regal: “The door’s guard system is out of control. Someone must have destroyed it when trying to force their way through.”
Bruh, it’s totally still.
-Lloyd’s Shiden is soooooo cool. Look at that lightning crackle. Shame its usefulness doesn't long.
-Oh god I hate those basilisks ugh look at how they petrify you. Nothing worse than getting caught up in button-mashing only to realize half your party's been turned to stone. Bugger off!
-Y'know, despite sticking out like a sore thumb, it took me forever to realize you can't get past that big metal door. Another Phantasia reference, I'm told.
(Actually, I think I heard you *can* get past that door in DOTNW but, well, who cares about that game)
-AW GODDAMIT I FORGOT TO BUY THE POTION FOR THE GNOME. WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN AUGHHHHHHHH
-“oh yeah sorry I forgot about the Indiana Jones trap lol whoopsie!”
a little much don't you think
-The Bacura from Xevious! I love whenever Tales draws from Namco's history and this is a fun example -- that SLAPSLAPSLAPSLAPSLAPSLAP whenever your poor avatar walks into its patrol zone is some great comedy.
Unlike Xevious, however, it's not indestructable -- cleverly maneuvering around the boulder trap dispatches of it easily, unveiling Colette's Devil Arm in Evil Eye. Interesting implications connotations there!
While we're at it, I always assumed the "Professor Naploosa" was a fun Xevious reference, although apparently that's a name Symphonia made up. Did Raine hear of Professor Naploosa (what a name lol) from her youth? Despite her background, sometimes it feels like she knows a little too much about Tethe'alla's history -- in the aforementioned case of Summon Spirits, that's definitely an oversight -- but it's fun to imagine.
-Zelos: “Oh, please, I’m not going to go through all those boxes! Let’s just blow them all up!”
but then you’d destroy the inhibitor ore tho
-God, that Regal murderer reveal is terrible. Everything wrong with the silent dialogue scenes and then some. - The amateurish overuse of dramatic ellipses. Lloyd's "if you're suffering, it's alright to at least say so" falling completely flat in drawing parallels to Regal. Colette's awkward stammering being exactly that. Aaaaauugh!
It's not just Symphonia's bad habit of conveying vital story beats in complete silence (at least that has the excuse of Gamecube disc limitations) but while the voiced cutscenes have their own fair share of goofiness, the innate production values means they can't get lax with the scriptwriting -- in contrast, a not-so-insignificant number of these unvoiced scenes feel profoundly lazy in everything from unnatural dialogue to weird animation to just...auuuuuguhhhhhghhghghgh. It's a lot.
-On the bright side, "You and I are..." does a much better job in contrasting Genis's struggles and awkwardness with Regal -- an individual he doesn't care much for. I enjoy Regal respecting his boundaries with "I see."
-That snitch in the hat. I hope he died in the fire. Probably deserved it.
-"Loooooong liiiiiive the poooooooooope"
lol what's with that delivery
-Listen to the sound effect when the dragons fly away lol geez
-Ever notice how despite the obvious clues Presea's age isn't what it seems, the cast aren't...exactly consistent with this knowledge? The Wells scene (not to mention some of the other Ozette villagers) explicitly spell this out to the cast and yet barring Regal, they still treat her like she's actually 12.
-Another fun headcanon of mine is imagining Kratos watching over Presea/Regal joining the group and smiling to himself. The band's getting together for his boy!
-Raine: “Internal strife? How pathetic.”
Kratos: “Say what you will"
(Internally: fuck)
-Zelos: "My cute little Presea.”
See what I mean??? Like, he "knows" she's a kid and yet??? Really??? I dunno...
-The Tranquility kid that goes “you’ll play with me, won’t you, Presea!”.😭😭😭😭
Presea, do it now! Or you'll regret it foreverrrrrrrrr!
-Oh hey Presea’s costume just reset to her default. Yeah, it’s a glitch! It was still on the title when she left. Weird.
