#vanea xenoblade

[jinxekkotimebomb]

I love the way the Fiora/Meyneth dynamic is handled in the way Mio/M ended up being handled. Mio and Fiora were saved from their death through another being. Due to this, they feel they have to make a change in the world that they would've wanted, to honour their memory.

vanea befriending a half high entia

pairing: vanea x gn!reader

tags: endgame xc1 spoilers, set during postgame, fantasy racism, friendship/platonic relationship

you and vanea were quite literally worlds apart! 

you lived on bionis, while vanea lived on mechonis

and yet, the two ended up meeting, after the world became anew

when the two of you met each other, you quickly realized that you weren't so different, despite having lived on two opposing titans

both of you had lost your people due to zanza, the high entia being turned into telethia, while the machina were killed during the attack of the bionis

yet a few of your kind had survived, just like vanea and yourself! 

though even after zanza was gone, the conflict hadn't quite ended yet

there were still homs and high entia that hated the machina for the crimes that the mechon had committed

but not you! you were one of those who realized how alike you truly were

you always stood up for any machina receiving unfair treatment by homs or even high entia! 

and that behavior was what made vanea notice you and long to get to know you! 

vanea was the one to make the first move, eager to get to know you, as well as find out more about the differences between mechonis and bionis

while the two of you could bond over your hatred for zanza and the loss of your people, you also learned more about each other's foods, technology or music! 

over time, you began to move on from the past and zanza rarely was a topic anymore

instead, you were much more interested in learning more about each other…

Vanea and Gadolt!!

[wall-maria-around-ba-sing-se]

Am I reading too far into it or are Zanza and Meyneth’s human names made out of the names of their respective mortals from Xenoblade 1?

Klaus: Shulk backwards (kluhS -> Klaus)

Galea: either a feminized version of an anagram of Egil (gilE + a -> Galea) or a remix of both Egil and Vanea’s names gil + ea -> Galea

HELLO XENOBLADE FANDOM!

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

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

[leeches-drawer]

just realized I've never posted my Xenoblade Chronicles 3 ocs here, so why not change that! today I introduce to you: Vanaea the Bygone Warrior, and Bluebelle the Wistful Guard

(more info under the cut)

I don't have many drawings of them, with that one being just from tonight, so bear with me for the lack of pictures.

so to start off with, here's some basic descriptions:

Vanaea - A reckless attacker, she constantly thirsts for a good battle. she often throws herself into conflict without a second thought, leading her partner (romantic) Bluebelle to go chasing after her and desperately try to draw the massive aggro away from her. she loves to live on the edge, and lives a somewhat careless life, living only for the adrenaline rush. when not putting her life on the line, she enjoys adventure as a whole. ever since escaping the flame clock through genocidal means, she has been wandering the world with Bluebelle, exploring every nook and cranny that Aionios has to offer. she is usually rather stoic in her display, though she can get excited very easily, especially in the face of a threat. she's always looks for a new experience, so that her life never gets dull as it reaches its bitter end. she escaped death once, and will continue to, all while hoping that her life never gets lost in vain. if she doesn't make it to her homecoming, then she at least wants to go out swinging. an unarmed death is a pathetic one, and she will fight like hell to see her life to its end.

Bluebelle - an apathetic Kevesi off-seer, this Machina lives only for the sake of seeing the next day. they don't fear death itself, with it being so prevalent in their life, but they instead fear the concept of the unknown after. what lies in that inky darkness when you close your eyes for good. so with a brittle heart, they fight on, keeping their girlfriend by their side. apart from living for the sake of avoiding the terrible unknown, they also live to protect. Vanaea has become their tether to the world, their reason to live amongst all this agony. however, their girlfriend's recklessness constantly worries them and gets on their nerves, so they often end up bickering over their exchange in danger. they're often quite tired, doing the bare minimum every day, all while playing deeply melancholic tunes on their standard Keves style flute.

now I offer some refs, to get a better look at their designs

the text reads:

Vanaea

- 10th term (early)

- Role: Attacker

- Class: Bygone Warrior

- Weapon: (Twin) Gunknives

- Colony 5 (survivor)

- she/he

Bluebelle

Vanaea's weapons up close, with assorted details

the two's Arts palettes, top being Vanaea's, bottom being Bluebelle's. each of those read:

Winged Revolution - back Topple

Abandon All Thought - Evade

Dripping Revolt - AOE

Sidestep Slash - draw aggro

Smokescreen - Daze

Wilting Flower - Taunt

Drifting Petal - draw aggro, phys def. down

Hi there Xenoblade 1 fans!!! Happy anniversary!!! :)

Do you wish Meyneth got to talk to and interact with the party members more than she did in canon?

Did you already really enjoy Shulk's character arc but are also interested in seeing a slightly different take, where I get to write him suffering from even more extreme emotional anguish?

Do you like character studies and fics that expand upon the source material's lore and themes?

Well I'm currently writing an angsty longfic about just that!!

( If you're a fan of Egil and/or Vanea, you can consider the prologue to be its own oneshot about them as well! :D )

[mirensiart]

Been thinking about this xenoblade chronicles 1 scene all day tbh

The way he just grabs shulk's entire face with his one hand and then lifts him up and throws him

His iconic line "your blade, it did not cut deep enough" alluring to both shulk's and vanea's words not reaching him and to prove the damage the monado did was virtually nothing

The way he grabs the monado, a sword made specifically to kill his people, and takes it out of his shoulder

Vanea's entire speech here is also so good, since it drives the point that everyone wants peace and for the mechonis and bionis to get along, with egil being the sole machina still wanting revenge and going through extreme lengths to get it

THE MUSIC !!!!!!!!

Anyway, xenoblade chronicles 1 is my favorite game ever, egil is THE antagonist of all time

[gaydiantdawn]

Silly Xenoblade things I'd draw if I had the ability:

- Kallian going through a rough wing molt.

- Egil working late on a new Mechon model in Central Factory, and he has a five o'clock shadow that's just rust.

- Egil crushing a watermelon (or one of those small round sentry Mechon) in-between his thighs.

- Vanea doing the same thing in-between her boobs.

- Linada growing new organs for Fiora in high-tech jars, with Fiora being nosy and asking for custom features (i.e. a bigger stomach for all the eating she wants to do when back to normal).

Personally, I am an advocate for very tall Guts!Galea. Like, at least around as tall as some of the Machina like Vanea and Egil.

OK… yeah i think that's a pretty sick idea… can do!!! i… will be honest i have no idea how tall the machina are so i guess around 2 metres? dunno. im the worlds biggest fake xenoblade fan. one of my mutuals is also making her tall ^_^

(that said im horrendously inconsistent at this kind of thing lol i've rarely done sequential work except in my BRAIN…)

by the way i kind of thought thé machina just have really big hats so they're kind of just like… idk. six foot to me. i have no clue if they're supposed to be more

[olberic]

back from a quick skim thru the tags of my main and wow you people really dont like sharla huh? unfortunate bc its prompted me to share opinions

for me my faves are melia > sharla > reyn > riki > fiora > shulk > dunban

and most played are sharla > dunban > melia > reyn > shulk > fiora > riki

go-to party was sharla+reyn+fiora, or melia+dunban+riki. sorry shulk but i didnt really play u once u got dunban…

and as stated in my original post i cheered and clapped every time reyn and sharla interacted and the MOMENT i got that scene outside colony 6 with melia and fiora i had my whole perspective on the game changed. like idk. reyn’s really what sharla needs (SOOO MUCH BETTER FOR HER THAN HER STUPID DEAD FIANCÉ) and sharla’s opposing approach to things really helps to balance reyn out. meanwhile i am constantly thinking about melia’s admiration for fiora’s strength and fiora’s fondness for melia. forget about shulk. run away together.

i think the story was really great… i dont want to get into too many spoilers but i will say knowing NOTHING about the game going in was great. i didnt know any characters besides blond guy with an energy sword. didnt know anything about the game’s world bc the ppl i follow who post abt xenoblade just talk abt the xbc2 polycule or the catgirls or the nonbinary character and how good the xbc3 dlc was.

anyways i LOVED the shifting scope of antagonists. every plot twist felt rewarding, lightly foreshadowed, and thrilling. the soundtrack ruled. i <3 games with 200 achievements and 480 quests and i <3 putting 150 hours into a game. i will have more coherent thoughts on this once i sleep on it and check out the dlc.

only negatives as far as im concerned were the running around for HOURS trying to get rare collectables, ugly armour, vanea’s design below the neck, a handful of npcs, art manuals' low drop chance, and the goddamn impossible archsage challenges. i do think fiora's amount of character development was stunted by the desire to make her a romantic focus, and that sharla deserved better than having her lategame scenes glossed over without being addressed. otherwise im quite pleased with reyn, melia, riki, and shulk's development.

finished xenoblade 1 btw. amazing plot and character development imo. peak jrpg final fight, even if i was so overlevelled that it was laughably easy. meliora nation fucking lost 😞 but shareyn nation stayed strong 💪. im like idk 98% complete or smth bc i simply do not have it in me to grind for those remaining art books/burst affinities/trades. perhaps i shall finish those last 16 achievements later the week
