resistant to accept help

pairing: imca x gn!reader

summary: when imca is hurt, you help her, despite her resistance!

“p-put me down, i can walk–!!”

imca squirmed in your arms, as you carried her off the battlefield. even after she had been shot, she refused to let you help her, so you had to resort to drastic measures and take matters into your own hands.

“stop pretending like you're fine, you need first aid!” you scolded imca, who only huffed in response. “if you let me treat your wounds and rest a bit, you'll be on the battlefield again soon. but you need to allow me to help you, imca…”

Imca from Valkyria Chronicles 3

While I ended up forgoing detail on her character, I’m mostly satisfied with the outcome, particularly in her face and hair.

'Valkyria Chronicles' was released on the PlayStation 3 16 years ago today in Japan.

Reviewing "Valkyria Chronicles" for the PlayStation 4 requires an exploration of various philosophical doctrines and theories.

1. National Identity and the Concept of the Nation-State: "Valkyria Chronicles" delves into the complex theme of national identity, exploring how it shapes individual and collective consciousness. The game’s portrayal of various nation-states in conflict reflects Benedict Anderson’s concept of ‘imagined communities,’ where a nation is a socially constructed community, imagined by the people who perceive themselves as part of that group. The game challenges players to consider the philosophical underpinnings of nationalism, as theorized by philosophers like Johann Gottfried Herder, who emphasized the uniqueness of each cultural group and its contribution to the collective fabric of human history.

2. The Individual's Role in the Collective Struggle: The game's narrative, where individual characters are caught up in the larger conflict, echoes Jean-Paul Sartre’s existentialist philosophy, which emphasizes individual agency and the responsibility of personal choices within the context of a larger societal structure. The characters in "Valkyria Chronicles" embody Sartre’s idea that individuals are condemned to be free – forced to make choices that not only define their own existence but also contribute to the shaping of their society.

3. The Ethics of War and Survival: "Valkyria Chronicles" presents a nuanced portrayal of war, where the need for survival often conflicts with moral and ethical considerations. This aspect of the game resonates with the just war theory, as discussed by philosophers like Michael Walzer, who explores the ethical balance between fighting for survival and adhering to moral principles in warfare. The game poses tough questions about the moral ambiguities of war, especially in situations where the survival of a nation-state and its identity is at stake.

4. State Survival and Realpolitik: The game’s depiction of nation-states in conflict reflects the principles of realpolitik, a political philosophy associated with Niccolò Machiavelli and Carl von Clausewitz, which emphasizes practical and pragmatic strategies for state survival, often at the expense of moral or ethical considerations. "Valkyria Chronicles" invites players to engage with these philosophical debates about the nature of statecraft, the ethics of political power, and the sacrifices made in the name of national survival.

5. Collective Memory and Historical Narratives: "Valkyria Chronicles" also touches on the importance of collective memory and historical narratives in shaping national identity, a concept explored by philosophers like Walter Benjamin. The game’s storytelling, rich with historical references and cultural symbols, illustrates how collective memories and narratives contribute to the formation of national identity and the justification of actions taken in its name.

6. The Nature of Patriotism and Dissent: Throughout the game, themes of patriotism and dissent are prevalent, echoing philosophical discussions by thinkers like Albert Camus and Hannah Arendt. Camus’s concept of rebellion and Arendt’s insights into the nature of totalitarianism and the importance of dissent offer a framework to understand the characters' struggles. The game challenges players to consider the fine line between patriotic duty and blind nationalism, and the role of dissent in preventing the descent into authoritarianism.

In conclusion, "Valkyria Chronicles" for the PlayStation 4 is a richly layered game that offers profound insights into the philosophy of national identity, the ethical complexities of war, the dynamics of state survival, and the role of the individual within the nation-state. Through its narrative, character development, and strategic gameplay, the game encourages a deep philosophical exploration of these themes, inviting players to reflect on the multifaceted nature of national identity, the moral dilemmas of survival, and the responsibilities of individuals within their societies.

Characters Who Ruined Otherwise Good Games

I saw a video where a bunch of game commentators were asked a simple question – what character ruined a game for you. It’s a neat question, and while some of their answers annoyed me, I thought that would chime in on this, because it’s kinda interesting.  This list is in no particular order, outside of when these characters came to mind.  In most of these cases, the character outright ruined the…

Selvaria Bles 'Valkyria Chronicles' PlayStation 3

[genshingorlsrevengeance]

Valkyria Chronicles? It's been a long time since I heard of that, thanks for the nostalgia trip you sent me on.

How about the squad 7 members when their S/O gets injured?

(Valkyria Chronicles) Welkin, Alicia, Isara, and Rosie's S/O getting injured

3 other friends and I have been playing VC2, and I've been replaying 1 and got reminded of my love for the game, thus their addition here.

Though absolutely startled to hear that S/O took a hit during the skirmish, Welkin tries his best to remain calm.

Welkin approaches the medical tent S/O is staying in and takes a deep breath seeing the bandage wrapped around them.

(Welkin) "Thank goodness you're alright..."

Before sitting next to S/O, he personally attends to every soldier that was injured as well, finally taking a seat next to S/O when he's done.

His mind is put at ease knowing they'd recover, but can't help but feel responsible for the injury since he ordered S/O into the position to begin with.

(S/O) "You don't have to stress about me y'know?...Ah, why don't you tell me about some of the animals you saw on the way here?"

LAST MISTAKE.

Now, S/O has to deal with the consequences of Welkin yapping their ear off about the type of fauna generally found in this area for an hour, getting his mind off their injury and onto his borderline-obsessiveness with nature.

Much to the dismay of S/O's other squadmates in the tent.

(Welkin) "-...and the type of beetles are also quite uncommon! They generally don't make themselves known until the spring and-...S/O?"

S/O was sprawled out on the bed with a drained smile, putting one hand on his shoulder.

(S/O) "Welkin...I think you should probably go to the debriefing."

(Welkin) "Huh?...OH! R-Right, I'll catch up with you later!"

Once he promptly made his exit, one of the soldiers next to S/O on the stretcher turned their head to them.

(Soldier) "Why did you have to ask him about nature?"

(S/O) "I...w-wasn't thinking..."

Alicia is absolutely stricken with worry the moment S/O's injuries reaches her.

Flying open the tent's flaps, her eyes scan the area before finally landing on S/O and rushing to their side.

(Alicia) "S/O! Are you alright?! How bad was the shot-"

(S/O) "W-Woah! Alicia, I-I'm alright!...OW!"

Alicia had grabbed their arm, and their wincing did little to calm her down.

(Alicia) "You call this 'alright'? If you had gotten hit any closer-"

She quickly goes silent when she realizes half the room was staring at her, making Alicia clear her throat.

(Alicia) "Apologies for disrupting the quiet. As you were, everyone."

With a quick salute she sighs and sits back down next to S/O, squeezing their hand.

(Alicia) "I'll be back with something to drink at least. Promise me you won't get hurt like this again, okay?"

(S/O) "As long as you promise to as well."

With a soft giggle and a final squeeze of their hand, she nods and leaves.

The moment she helps finishes the Edelweiss's repairs, Isara quickly makes her way to the medical tent where S/O was being held.

Isara sits next to S/O and brings them a canteen full of water.

(Isara) "Sorry I couldn't be here sooner, are you holding up okay?"

(S/O) "Yeah, just stings like hell..."

Isara's quiet laughter eases S/O, until they noticed some of the soldiers glaring at Isara.

She doesn't even have to hear them speak, Isara knows already what's got S/O trying to move out the bed.

(Isara) "First of all, you shouldn't be moving.-"

With a hand to their chest shoving them back in the bed, she shakes her head.

(Isara) "And secondly, don't focus on them. Just focus on me, okay?"

(S/O) "Darcsen or not, you're still fighting alongside us! They should-"

Isara's hand moved to S/O's and just holds it tightly.

(Isara) "Believe me, if they want to say something to my face, I'll have something to say right back...But thank you. It still means a lot to me."

S/O just sighs and nods, the pain of their injury mostly subsiding from their mind now.

Rosie would have kicked the door open if the medical tent was a building, instead the flaps flew wildly as she announced her presence.

(Rosie) "S/O, you idiot!"

S/O slumps in their bed as some snickering came from the other soldiers.

Though they were quickly silenced when Rosie closed the distance, gesturing for them to mind their own damn business.

Rosie crossed her arms and stood staring at S/O.

(Rosie) "How in the hell did you manage to get hit? What, were you just not paying attention?!"

(S/O) "Ugh, y-yeah. They caught me by surprise-"

(Rosie) "Next time, focus better on your drills! I'm not dragging your ass out of the fire if there's a next time!"

S/O wryly smiled and nodded, all the while Rosie just scoffed and rolled her eyes.

(S/O) "Appreciate the concern as always, Rosie."

(Rosie) "Psh, whatever."

Rosie at the very least grabs their shoulder tenderly...Before shaking it violently and startling S/O.

(Rosie) "Wipe that smirk off too. I gotta get back to cleaning my equipment."
