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."

welkin confessing to you

pairing: welkin gunther x gn!reader

tags: silly & wholesome fluff, oblivious!welkin, mutual crushes

welkin is still oblivious about the fact that he's in love with you when he confesses to you!

you noticed he's been acting strange recently. more strangely than you are used to with him, at least

but when you approach him about it, welkin starts to ramble on about how he doesn't even know himself what's been wrong with him recently

he'll tell you how he's been so tense around you, but how he knows he doesn't hate you! he could never hate you, in fact!

he'll ramble about how much he likes you and how much he enjoys your company and always wants you around, so those tense feelings around you only confuse him

and he's equally confused when he suddenly notices your red face after listing all those things…

It is finally time again for Ruby's birthday! Has it really been 10 years since the Red Trailer came out? Since I started my first year of college the same time Ruby started her first (and only) year at Beacon? Forgive my platitudes, but she really has become such an inspirational character for me. Seeing Ruby and the other wonderfully flawed and perfect characters on my dashboard each day really brings levity to my heart and helps center me when there seems to be so much pain in the world right now. So happy birthday Ruby! And I look forward to seeing where you go next!

This art is by dishwasher1910 on DeviantArt (link below). I spent a lot of time finding the right photo for her birthday. This might not be the most cheerful one, but it reflects her so well. Not just as the cheerful girl who fights monsters and eats cookies (although that is a part of her) but also as a complex character who is so interwoven with the lives of her family and friends.

In-Depth Military and Political Analysis of "Valkyria Chronicles"

"Valkyria Chronicles" for the Sony PlayStation 4 is a tactical role-playing game that masterfully intertwines military strategy with a politically charged narrative. Set in a fictionalized Europe during a conflict resembling World War II, the game explores themes of war, nationalism, resource exploitation, and the human cost of conflict.

By examining these themes through the perspectives of famous military officers such as Carl von Clausewitz, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and Bernard Montgomery, we can unpack the game’s intricate portrayal of war and politics. This analysis will demonstrate how the game’s mechanics and narrative reflect real-world military doctrines and political challenges.

War as an Extension of Politics: Clausewitz’s Influence

Carl von Clausewitz famously described war as "the continuation of politics by other means," a concept that resonates deeply throughout "Valkyria Chronicles." The game’s central conflict, between the Atlantic Federation and the East Europan Imperial Alliance, is fueled by the competition over Ragnite, a fictional resource crucial to both military and industrial efforts. This reflects Clausewitz’s assertion that war is inherently tied to political objectives.

In the game, the invasion of the neutral principality of Gallia by the Empire mirrors real-world instances where resource-rich nations become battlegrounds for larger powers. Clausewitz’s emphasis on the interconnectedness of war and politics provides a lens through which to view Gallia’s struggle not merely as a fight for survival but as a microcosm of the global power dynamics at play.

Strategy and Operational Leadership: Eisenhower’s Perspective

The gameplay mechanics of "Valkyria Chronicles," particularly its focus on squad-based tactics and resource management, echo the principles of strategic planning championed by Dwight D. Eisenhower. Eisenhower’s leadership during World War II emphasized the importance of logistics, adaptability, and the coordination of diverse forces.

In the game, players must balance limited resources, manage personnel, and adapt to shifting battlefield conditions, mirroring the complexities faced by real-world military leaders. Gallia’s militia, led by Welkin Gunther, embodies the spirit of ingenuity and perseverance, qualities Eisenhower praised in military operations. This strategic depth reinforces the game’s realism, grounding its fantastical elements in authentic military doctrine.

The Role of Morale and Unity: Montgomery’s Insights

Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery emphasized the critical role of morale and unity in achieving military success. "Valkyria Chronicles" brings this to the forefront by highlighting the diverse personalities and backgrounds of the Gallian militia. Each soldier in the squad has unique traits and relationships, which impact their performance in combat.

The game’s emphasis on camaraderie and individual contributions reflects Montgomery’s belief that a cohesive and motivated force can overcome superior numbers or resources. The dynamic interplay between characters, such as Welkin’s leadership and Alicia’s resilience, underscores the importance of unity in the face of adversity, both on and off the battlefield.

The Human Cost of War: Political and Ethical Reflections

While "Valkyria Chronicles" engages with military strategy, it also critiques the dehumanizing aspects of war. The game portrays the suffering of civilians, the use of propaganda, and the exploitation of marginalized groups, such as the Darcsens, an oppressed ethnic minority in Gallia. This theme recalls the ethical dilemmas faced by political and military leaders during wartime.

The forced conscription and strategic sacrifices required to defend Gallia reflect real-world decisions, such as those faced by Churchill and Roosevelt, who balanced immediate military needs against long-term moral considerations. The Darcsens’ plight also invites reflection on how politics can weaponize prejudice to justify conflict, adding depth to the game’s narrative.

Bridging Military and Political Realities

"Valkyria Chronicles" is a profound exploration of the interplay between military strategy and political ambition. Through its narrative and mechanics, the game embodies Clausewitz’s view of war as a political tool, Eisenhower’s focus on strategic adaptability, and Montgomery’s emphasis on morale and unity.

At the same time, it critiques the ethical and human costs of war, challenging players to reflect on the broader implications of conflict. By grounding its fantastical setting in real-world military and political principles, "Valkyria Chronicles" transcends its genre, offering not only a compelling gameplay experience but also a nuanced commentary on the complexities of war and governance.

The result is a game that both entertains and provokes thought, leaving players with a deeper appreciation of the delicate balance between strategy, politics, and humanity.

EPIC ANIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[animixplayis]

Valkyria Chronicles

In its expansion west to gain resources, the Europan Imperial Alliance invades the neutral Principality of Gallia, seeking to take control of its vast Ragnite deposits. Their strategic advantage, technological superiority, and military might make opposition nonexistent, so they steamroll through the border of the sleepy principality with ease. As Imperial forces run through his quiet hometown, Welkin Gunther and his younger sister Isara jump into action, banding with the leader of the local militia to push the occupational forces out of the village.
