Five billion octopath 2 scribbles i feel sick

[nicandragon]

For the final day of femslash week, I wanted to go with the freedom prompt! Freedom to be herself with the one she loves <3

Even though I'm not as deep in the Octopath brainrot anymore, it's been so fun revisiting all the ladies 😌 happy pride besties

[coralpath]

I know your eyes are transfixed upon the brightest star.... and that is I, the dazzling superstar 🌠✨DOLCINAEA LUCIEL✨🌠

Veronica was deceptively hard to draw

Day 2!!! Also unfinished but it’s a double feature!! Treasure was my prompt of choice and I went with both Dolceina and Veronica with the dumbbell, aswell as Pala and Mika with thier earrings!! They’re just both such adorable couples 🥺🥺 (I also didn’t have a picture of the non water colored sketch for the second one ._.)

Today's fic for @otfemslashweek is Dolcinaea/Veronica! The prompt was "summertime," so Dolcinaea and Veronica enjoy a sweet summer date together.

Dolcinea and Veronica

You know, Octopath Traveler 2 has really opened up new avenues in lesbian representation.  Because like, classically, a very common wlw pairing is the Smart Lesbian and the Dumb Lesbian.

Because, for their anniversary, Veronica gets her lover, Dolcinea... a dumbbell.

Yes, the weight training device.

Here she is, pumping iron on a random street corner, as you do, thinking on what to get her girlfriend.

Her reasoning?

Yeah, she wants her girlfriend to be beautiful forever.

She accompanies this with basically her version of a marriage proposal.

Which Dolcinea accepts!

And immediately ruins by assuming the dumbbell is... a musical instrument.

I’m proud of Octopath Traveler 2 for going “but what if both of them were stupid”.  Well done.

VERONICA shirt-off ver.

Can’t get her off my mind. Don’t mess with Dolcinaea.

-------------------------------

Yay it’s the first time I post something on Tumblr before I post it on Twitter :D 

[azzysecondary]

Got Veronica, definitely marry!!! Thoughtful, loyal, and could defend me from any harm? Sign me up!!! I mean, she could lift me like it was nothing and princess carry me around….. also she’s extremely pretty and has very nice muscles :>

Octopath version of the fuck/marry/kill trend!

If I missed any characters, please tell me cause I tried to include everyone. Only doing characters that are 18+ and not COTC cause that'd take forever to add and I don't care for COTC.

controversial i know but DEEPLY underrated song from the octopath ii soundtrack

her voice IS that good. its a great lead-in and its awesome that she gets a “in pursuit of” song and is the only non-main character to get one. dont get me wrong i was rooting for agnea but dolcinaea’s a great character. shes so selfish but gives her money to charities. she has a good redemption arc. tough boss battle (toughest of the ch4s in my experience…). shes got a girlfriend. shes dumb. shes summonable. and she gets her own theme which she SLAYS

More Octopath keychain WIPs!

Agnea solo run complete!

(i.e. complete Agnea’s chapter 5 without adding any of the other travelers.)

The star's lonely path was harder than Partitio's, but somewhat easier than Throné's. While her latent power isn't terribly useful for solo boss fights, the dancer class (and Bewildering Grace/Windy Refrain) made it easier to level, handle random encounters, and get to the tier 2 towns/job guilds earlier, thus helping the run overall.

Stuff I Noticed:

A) I set up Agnea in a dodge-tanky build with high evasion and evasion-boosting accessories like the Gale Feather. After beating the Deep One and rescuing the sister in the Ivory Ravine (I missed doing so on my Throné run because she can't escort after beating the boss), I felt I was ready to take on the story bosses.

Lamani was trivial, much like the man himself. Veronica was fairly doable, but Stunning Uppercut is still a fight-ender if it hits. And it can hit even at level 72. The way the one fight I lost played out was a great bit of accidental roleplaying, with Agnea dodging most of her blows while Veronica picked up speed. She got up to 5 actions per turn before eventually landing a lucky stunner on the dancer and relentlessly pummeling her for the KO before she could get back up. "You won't lay a finger on Madam Dolcinea!", indeed. Dolcinea phase 1 was pretty tough. One one hand, she's weak to daggers and breaks aren't super-difficult to get. On the other hand, she has access to debilitating effects that can upset your setup. One that hit me fairly hard was "Give in to my song!" from phase 1, which is a fight ender for much the same reason as Stunning Uppercut (just with a higher accuracy rate). After taking a few deaths as a Merchant, I tried running Apothecary to get immunity to effects, but the fight still takes a long time on account of Stage ettiquette blocking all attacks/debuffs. After about 20 minutes on this strategy, I went back to Merchant and blitzed for a quick KO. Dolcinea phase 2 was easier, and only took 1 try. Amusingly, Endless Lullaby (puts the character in sleep with a death counter that only goes away if she wakes up) could have won the fight for her multiple times. She kept putting me to doom sleep, but getting in her own way by attacking and waking me up. I choose to read that as Dolcinea being too extra for her own good. She does collapse from exhaustion at the end of the dance fight, after all!

B) Tanzy's dialogue, unlike Ori's, isn't really hinting at her broader involvement with the moonshades. The only substantial clue is the omnipresent references to a goddess while performers like Dolcinea refer to Sealticge as the "Lady of Grace". I think this is fine writing, as the contrast shows how nobody in her life had really reached Tanzy's heart enough to get at that particular truth.

C) Interestingly, the battle music that played during Veronica's boss fight was Critical Clash I, not Critical Clash II. I was surprised, since Veronica is Agnea's penultimate route boss. My first playthrough finished before listening to the soundtrack, so I didn't notice the difference at the time. Now I'm wondering; which sub-bosses get I vs II as their fight themes?

D) "The little dancer who touched my heart…"

Giselle's dialogue is still very lesbiabs.

[Other Octopath II Solo Runs]

Throné Solo: https://taoofshigeru.tumblr.com/post/759111483644952576/finished-a-thron%C3%A9-solo-run-ie-complete Partitio Solo: https://taoofshigeru.tumblr.com/post/750802846917820416/finished-up-an-ot2-partitio-solo-run-culminating

…Not sure if doing 3 means I'll eventually get to others, but this has been an enjoyable process. Characters play differently enough to keep it fresh, and I find myself curious as to how Castti, Hikari, Ochette, and Osvald would work for different reasons. (afaik Temenos is impossible because he can't knock out the Stormhail path guard without help.)

I would hereby like to state thwt octopath traveler 2 is the most lesbian thing I've ever encountered apart from lesbian romances like Jesus yall r gay

[autisticroquebrilliante]

Can't believe that "Hey Blondie" from the barbie movie is a Dolcinaea/Veronica & Papp/Roque song

[rubylily]

A short Dolcinaea/Veronica fic for Femslash February! Normally I write out fics by hand first and then type them up, but for this fic, I wanted to challenge myself and see how much I could type up in one sitting. As such, it isn't long at all, being a brief snapshot of the relationship between Dolcinaea and Veronica (and Dolcinaea being unabashedly thirsty for her buff bodyguard girlfriend), and I'm quite pleased with how it turned out.
