#xavier vs lumiere

[sayangrafayel]

Xavier and MC volunteering at a daycare

Xavier: Who's the better fighter? Hunter Xavier or Lumiere?

Kids: LUMIERE!!!

Xavier: Why would you say that?

Kid: Cause he can travel as fast as the light and he has a big sword! And sometimes he creates a portal and teleports behind the Wanderers and slash them until they die! And he's so strong he can knock them over just by plunging his sword to the ground!

Xavier pushes the kid off their bean bag chair

Xavier: See? Who needs a sword? I push you over just with my bare hand.

MC: XAVIER!!! This is exactly why no daycares accept our applications anymore!

Since the Raidou remaster was announced, I should probably finish part two of 'Tragedy Comes in Threes'- but I want to finish the Abysswalker×Lumiere fic first

I WILL work on having 'Tragedy Comes in Threes' finished before June 19th, when the remaster releases, I promise

Note: I had way too much fun with this prompt. This is my own interpretation, so I hope this is what you wanted <3

“Well? What do you think?” You asked, studying Xavier’s face as the video you were showing him looped for the third time. He was next to you on the couch, studying your phone as if it were a foreign object, unable to form a coherent thought about what you were showing him. 

There was a new couple’s dance trend circulating TikTok, and it was top priority to get Xavier on board with doing the trend. It was…a little provocative, to put it mildly. The dance started off innocent, but had a move at the end of it that included a little bit of grinding on your partner. You had absolutely zero intentions of posting it. Truthfully, you just saw an opportunity to rile Xavier up, and you were going to take it. 

By the time the video looped for the fifth time, you waved your hand in front of his face. “Hellooo? Anyone in there?” 

As if snapping out of a trance, Xavier finally blinked. Several times, actually, clearly trying to process whatever the hell you just made him watch. His eyes landed on you, and the poor guy looked like he had no idea where to start with his thoughts. 

“Uhhhhh….” 

“Let me guess,” You began, folding your arms indignantly, “you don’t want to do it,” 

Xavier averted his gaze, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly. “I…don’t know how I feel about recording that.” He finally said, finding a very interesting spot on the floor to stare at. 

You figured he’d say no. Unfortunately for him, you’d planned ahead. You already had your dialogue choices preselected, and now it was time to roll. 

“I’ll just ask Jeremiah, then,” 

Xavier’s eye twitched, but he recovered quickly. He gave your thigh a playful squeeze as he shook his head. “Good luck. He knows better,” His tone was light, but you knew he wasn’t joking. 

He was right. Jeremiah absolutely knew better. In fact, Jeremiah would likely have a panic attack if you even attempted to ask him to do something like that, simply out of fear of Xavier’s wrath. Jeremiah had once been subtly threatened over a completely innocuous conversation, and the deceptive softness in Xavier’s tone when he made the threat nearly had Jeremiah sputtering. (“You have nice teeth. It may be beneficial to find conversation elsewhere.”) Jeremiah didn’t look you in the eye for weeks after that. 

The Jeremiah line, as predicted, was ineffective. With a sigh, you decided to default to your ‘in case of emergency’ tactic. 

You stretched, trying to appear casual, doing your best to prevent a smirk from slipping. “I bet Lumiere would do the trend with me,” 

Any traces of amusement that had been present on Xavier’s face vanished in an instant. The tension in the air thickened as soon as the words left your mouth. Xavier’s eyes narrowed, his expression hardening as his eyes locked onto your faux innocent face. The message was clear: you did NOT just say that. 

Truthfully, you hadn’t meant to actually piss him off. However, the thought of Xavier essentially beefing with himself was too good to resist sometimes. You thought he’d gotten over this by now. 

“I’m not sure I heard you correctly,” He said, his tone deceptively calm. If looks could kill, you’d be dead on the floor. This was a warning. He was giving you a chance to backpedal. 

“I’m just saying,” You said, trying to ignore the way your pulse quickened with his mood shift. 

“You would prefer to do an indecent trend with Lumiere?” He questioned, his tone still eerily even, despite the clear annoyance in his eyes. You needed to be very careful with your next answer. 

“I would prefer to do the indecent trend with Xavier,” You teased, cupping his face in your hands and giving his head a gentle shake. He softened slightly at the contact. “We don’t even have to post it,” 

He rose from the couch, catching your wrist in the process and pulling you with him. 

“Xavier? Where are we going?” You asked, already knowing the answer. 

“To do the trend,” He responded, his tone much lighter than it was previously. “I’ll do it so Lumiere doesn’t get the chance,

Zayne stared at you with an expression that could only be described as unamused. You had made an attempt to show him the newest couple’s dance trend, quietly tossing in a comment about how you two would ‘look good doing that trend.’ Based on his complete lack of a reaction, you had your answer without him even needing to open his mouth. 

You pulled your phone away, cheeks burning with embarrassment. “It’s not that bad,” You said defensively. 

That was a blatant lie. If you tried to shake your ass as hard as the girl in the video you’d just shown him, you’d probably throw out a hip. You, however, were on a mission to spice up things with Zayne a bit, and the new trend was a perfect excuse to make an attempt. 

….it had sounded better in your head. 

“It’s aggressive,” He responded dryly. “I would recommend a psychiatric evaluation if I saw you doing that,”

If you weren’t desperate, his comment would have been hilarious. 

“Guess I’ll wait for the pink slip,” You retorted, leaning back in your chair. “because I’m doing that trend,” 

“It’s a couple’s trend,” Zayne responded, his expression deadpan. “Do you intend on doing it alone?” 

You pursed your lips, searching for an answer. An idea came to mind, and Zayne stiffened upon seeing the flash of mischief in your eyes. 

“I wonder if Greyson would try it with me,” You mused. You had no intentions of actually asking Greyson, you were simply just trying to press buttons now. 

Zayne's eyes narrowed, and it was the closest thing to a reaction you’d gotten out of him so far. He looked almost offended, and you actually started to feel bad. However, the guilt dissipated the second Zayne responded with his ‘professional’ voice. 

“That’s highly inappropriate and unprofessional,” He chided, his brows furrowing as he spoke. “and it would be rather unbecoming of my assistant to participate in something indecent with my significant other.” 

“Okay, I’m sorry. That was a bad joke,” You said, reaching for his hand. He allowed you to grab it, but it did nothing to quell the absolute bewilderment your comment had caused. 

“If you won’t actually do the trend with me, would you be willing to just practice?” You asked, purposefully lowering your voice to ‘bedroom’ tone. 

Zayne’s eyes widened almost imperceptibly. He was definitely listening. 

“I mean, you could consider that as an exercise, right?” You continued, rubbing the back of his hand with your thumb. “And exercise is good for you, right?” Your tone was borderline teasing now, but it seemed to actually be working. 

“It is,” He responded. “It increases blood flow, reduces the risk of heart disease, can increase dopamine levels—“

You squeezed his hand, giving him the flirtiest look you could muster. 

“Well, Doctor Zayne, could you help me increase my dopamine?” 

His resistance was crumbling quickly. Between that look on your face and the tone of your voice, it was getting harder and harder to deny you. 

Especially when he knew what your real intentions were. 

With a sigh, he softly grabbed your hand and rose from his spot at the table, his initial protests long forgotten. 

“Phone stays on the table,” He warned, just to be safe. 

As he lead you toward the couch, you couldn’t help but giggle. 

Your plan had completely derailed, but in a way, you were still getting what you wanted. 

As soon as you saw the newest couple’s dance trend circulating, you knew that you and Rafayel would absolutely OWN it. 

You could already picture how hot he’d look with some shirt buttons undone, chest *slightly* exposed, swinging his hips with yours in tune to the beat of that catchy song. You two were going to absolutely devour this trend. 

….Well, that was the plan, anyway. 

He was willing to hear you out until he saw examples. By the third video, his ears were very pink, and he was staring at your phone like it had personally offended him. The amused smile he’d sat down with was no longer in the vicinity. 

When he finally found his voice, the protesting was immediate. “Nope. Nuh-uh. Not happening,” He said, shaking his head vigorously and shoving your phone away from him. He wiped his fingers on his pants as if he’d touched something dirty. He then rose from his seat, very obviously about to attempt a swift exit. 

“Raf, please!” You begged, nearly tripping over your chair as you followed after him. You caught his sleeve, tugging him back toward you. He didn’t budge. “We’d look so good. I’ll literally start begging,”

He shook his head vehemently. “I don’t even want to imagine the headlines that would cause. Nooo way, (y/n),” 

“When have you ever cared about what the headlines say?” You protested, giving his sleeve another tug. “Please! It’s just one video! I’ll never ask you to do a trend again!”

“I’ll agree to this when I see sharks driving cars,” He responded, skillfully escaping your desperate grip on his sleeve. He began heading toward the kitchen in an attempt to put as much distance between himself and this conversation as possible. 

Fine. Let’s see how he likes this.  

You retrieved your phone from the table and began typing a phone number. Rafayel paused and looked over his shoulder at the sound of your nails tapping against the screen. 

He fully turned around when you hit the ‘call’ button and raised your phone to your ear. 

“…who are you calling?” He asked, already heading back toward you, eyes narrowed in suspicion. 

“Thomas,” You replied casually. “If you won’t do it with me, then—“ 

Your phone was confiscated before you could even finish your sentence. Rafayel held your phone above his head, his other hand pressed against your forehead, effectively keeping you an arm’s length away.  Rafayel quickly ended the call before Thomas could pick up as you began to protest. 

“Oh come on!” You cried out, arms flailing as you tried to retrieve your phone from Rafayel’s air jail. 

“Apologize or I’ll swallow it,” He threatened, holding your phone higher above his head. “You can’t call other men or be influenced by dance videos if I eat your phone,”

You stared at him, beyond incredulous. While Rafayel did have a flair for the dramatic, the look on his face alone made you hesitant to call his bluff. 

“You’d rather swallow my phone than do a 10 second trend with me?” 

“You were calling Thomas! What does he have that I don’t?” 

You folded your arms, glaring daggers at the man holding your phone hostage. “I only called Thomas because you refused.”

Rafayel scoffed, his expression nothing short of indignant. “Oh, so you’re just a traitor then? Gooot it. And to think I shared my smoothie with you earlier,” 

“If you don’t like me anymore, just say that,” 

Rafayel’s mouth dropped open upon hearing you use one of his ‘drama queen’ lines against him. He could not believe you had the nerve to use his own words for your own petty gratification. “You—“ 

He sighed, releasing your forehead from his palm. Your phone, however, was still in air jail. 

Rafayel was silent for several moments, and you could almost physically see the gears in his brain working overtime. 

“What if we compromise?” He finally asked, eyes landing directly on your face. 

“Compromise?” 

“I’ll do the trend with you. But you aren’t allowed to post it. Nuh-uh. It’s for our eyes only.” He finally lowered your phone from above his head, keeping it just out of reach as he continued speaking, “and if you post it anyway I will literally put a curse on you.”

You paused, your eyes flitting between Rafayel’s face and the phone that was still firmly in his hand. You considered your options, and after a small internal debate, you decided that this was as good as it was going to get. 

“Okay,” You affirmed, holding out your hand for your phone. “Deal.” 

He smiled, finally handing your phone. 

As the two of you began to walk to the closet to find a change of clothes for the video, Rafayel spun to face you. 

“Also,” He began, “You know how you said you’d never ask me to do a trend again?” 

“Yes?” 

“I’m holding you to that,” 

The day had dragged on. Sylus had spent most of the day holed up in his armory, and the twins were out doing who knows what. Mephisto wasn’t great company either, and his beady little eyes got uncomfortable after a while. You were absolutely consumed by boredom, which lead to you scrolling on TikTok for far too long. 

Right as you were finally about to throw your phone out of pure frustration, your algorithm came in clutch and graced you with a video from this week’s newest dance trend, a suggestive little couple’s dance. You bit your bottom lip, already feeling flushed at the thought of Sylus with his hands all over you like that. 

It was sexy. It was flashy. And it was absolutely the cure for your boredom. 

Your feet were moving before you’d put any thought into it, carrying you straight to the armory. 

You all but crashed through the door. 

“Sylus~” You chirped, zeroing in on him with a shit-eating grin on your face. 

He looked up at you, eyes softening at your expression. 

“Well, don’t you just look delighted,” He drawled, patting his lap for you to have a seat.  “What’s the occasion?” 

As you climbed into his lap, you pulled up the video you’d added to your favorites and held it out for him to watch. He did so without questioning it, but you could see the subtle expression change as he tried to process what he was seeing. 

When the video ended, he returned his gaze to you, raising an eyebrow but saying nothing. 

“Well?” You poked his cheek, searching for any hint of his thoughts in his expression. 

“That was….modest,” He said, his voice laced with a level dry sarcasm that only Sylus was capable of. 

“Will you do it with me?” You asked, getting straight to the point. 

Sylus chuckled, the sound deep, rich, and like music to your ears. As quickly as your hopes rose, they were quickly squashed by his next statement. 

“While I’m flattered that you think I’d be a good candidate for…that,” He began, gesturing toward your phone, “I’m going to have to decline, sweetie.” 

Short, sweet, and to the point. 

“Ugghhh, but I’m so bored!” You whined, tossing your head back in exasperation. 

Sylus watched your mini-tantrum fondly, desperately fighting off a smirk. “If you’re bored, you could always hang out with me in here,” 

You glanced around the room. It was clear that he’d been down here messing with several different weapons, and by the looks of things, he was nowhere near done. 

You loved spending time with Sylus. On any other day, you would have jumped on the offer, just to be near him. Today, however, your boredom had reached its climax and you were certain you would combust if you sat down here and watched him meddle with various weapons. 

With a defeated sigh, you removed yourself from his lap and began sulking toward the door. “I guess I’ll just go find the twins,” 

Truthfully, you hadn’t meant for it to come out that way. You definitely weren’t going to bother them with the trend, but that was definitely how Sylus took it. You heard the distinct sound of a weapon being set down onto the table. 

“No need,” He said gruffly, abandoning his task and rising to his full height. You turned and quirked an eyebrow, not understanding the sudden change of heart. 

He closed the distance between the two of you, looping an arm around your shoulders as he passed. 

“That…’trend’ gave me a better idea for a boredom cure,” He said, leading you out of the armory. 

“Oh? Tell me!” You chirped excitedly. 

Sylus shook his head. “It’s more of a show than a tell,” 

While you didn’t get to do the spicy TikTok trend, Sylus had cured your boredom in a different spicy way. 

You were reeeally thankful for that trend. 

Thank you for interacting <3

a collection of my current fave pics withs each of the LADS (+ bonus Lumiere vs Xavier)

[ourlittleuluru]

Thus my ramblings begin~

Okay just started the event and it's a simple event, like Rafayel's. Collect and unlock pieces and you get conversations for some pieces.

But why do I feel like I'm so easy to please? Because right now, I feel like I'm feasting on so much Xavier 🤣🤣🤣

THERE'S SO MANY CHIBIS OF HIM AND HES SO CUTE I CAN'T ASDGHJKL

One example:

😭 any tiny crumbs of just Xavier in his day to day, breaks me fr... I'm weak. I am not strong enough for thisss _:(´ω`」 ∠):_

Gonna be posting Another Dawnbreak event pictures here... So spoilers under the cut! (Along with more ramblings)

And so the event begins~

Mr Xavier the walking light filter. He just naturally exudes this brilliance that shines outwardly. Humu humu.

It feels like every time Lumiere is said to be handsome and all, it hits a sore spot with Xavier... Hmmm �� insecurities between people seeing his persona vs his true self seems to be surfacing.

But also the thing with meeting people's expectations (⁠´⁠；⁠ω⁠；⁠｀⁠) why's it suddenly feel like he's talking about himself when he was still Prince of Philos???

What happened to the cat 😂 why's it so angry? Xavier???? Did you steal the cat's napping spot?????

The way MC is just so ready to start doing make up on him. He looks about ready to run but he knows he can't escape MC's clutches hehe

But also... MC please 🤣🤣🤣 why you using Xavier like a human floor lamp againnnn

[hirayaea]

i want to write a fic where it's an alternate universe philos

"Being engaged to the Crown Prince of Philos whilst madly in love with a masked knight really isn’t a good idea."

eheheheheheheheh what do u think

the grin on my face is so wide, DO IT! PLEASE!

i can already imagine the shenanigans. the chaos

Lumiere vs Prince Xavier, mc is so lucky fr (´∀｀*)

[starmocha]

the fated enemies thing!!! it actually reminds me a lot of calebmc too! how they can't help but pull towards one another but every time that happens, there's chaos.

another silver lining, I guess, is that sylus knows and he's prepared to fight against it this time. mc even asks him in a text message what would he do if they were to be real enemies and he reassured her he'd always choose her side, always choose to fight by her side, enemies or not.

i know a lot of people think she cursed him out of love and spite, even sylus believes in that a little since it's more than implied he considers forcing her to kill him an unforgiveable sin, but to me that curse was to protect him, to ensure they'd have enough time to meet again. I guess she didn't count on how long that would take and how much he'd suffer in the meantime.

i can't talk about raf's got myth and the fact he falls into a deep slumber at the bottom of the ocean when she dies and wakes up again when she's reborn. I know he's dramatic as fuck but his fear of losing her again is so so so so powerful and it gets worse because young raf said so himself how much he hates the bottom of the ocean cause it's so cold and dark.

i also can't talk about zayne otherwise i'll cry so i won't lmao I gotta admit every now and then i read the first chapters of his master of fate myth cause it's cute and i love how naturally carefree he is at first (before realizing how in love he actually is) and i love his long hair and the teacher/student trope and the fact he's buying dresses for mc even then just because he thought they'd look good on her but I always ignore the ending 🫠

lol I love xavier's beef with himself 😂😂 I know it goes way deeper than that but I really adore how cute he is just...pouting with those sad puppy eyes. I also love all the lumiere merch VS xavier fanworks the myth brought us ♥️♥️

I was typing out the fated enemies part and started thinking "Wait a goddamn minute..." Lowkey makes me wonder if the same writers who worked on Sylus' myth also did Caleb's myth, too.

Now see with the "curse," I don't think sorceress!MC was even aware it was going to take effect. In her grief, she remembered important moments with him and just happened to remember something he had said. I feel like she said it out of a deep yearning to have him back for her sake, not to curse or punish him.

I love the stories of all of the myth counterparts falling in love with her, but man the endings of them all are just so cruel. Strangely enough, I found her ending in Caleb's myth to be the most comforting, because in a twisted sort of way, she's still with him. They both recognized each other's feelings and chose to stay together even if it meant a tragic end for them both.

[babyb1ues]

is lads the only otome u play rn? if not, what else do u play? how long have u been playing lads? do u whale or play casually? how many xavi cards have u collected? what's your favorite and least favorite five star? what's ur affinity progress so far? and do u ever get anxious about not owning every piece of his exclusive content?

(suddenly felt like asking u some questions, im so sorry if it's too much 😕) (the last question resonates with me a lot becauseee his writing team neverrr misses and it's almost impossible to skip. i did one time, the 'romantic afternoon' card, and i do not regret it surprisingly. i have his every 5 star except that one and heartstring symphony, but i fear i'll have to start making some sacrifices bc i really want to r2 lumiere once he gets a rerun some day. this game is really about to teach me some discipline lol)

don’t worry abt the length lol im happy to answer !

Not my first. I played mysmes like 6 years ago, some of the ikemen series, also paper games other’s game mr queen loves choice but I got stuck on a part and never continued. I used to play Tears of Themis back when it launched, for like 2 years consistently but then I got burnout and stopped. My feelings for ToT are way more positive than for lads tbh, I would play it again if I had the storage and didn’t get overwhelmed by how much I’ve missed.

Started with this one, again since launch, unfortunately. Funny story, I was in such a deep cloud strife obsession that when I saw xavier’s teaser I was like,, huh. Okay. The rest is history. I don’t whale but I’ve bough like, 5 monthly passes. I hate it. Never again, hopefully.

As for cards… I’ve got all of them but romantic afternoon and floral blessing. I didn’t care for the previous one so I skipped. My favorites depend on story vs replay value, I guess. One that checks both, uh, maybe 21 days. And No Restraint?

I’ve got like, a 91 I think. So far. Wonder if I’ll get to 100 by new years. We’ll see.

I was a f2p in ToT so fomo is kind of new to me. I don’t like the idea of spending money again and again and again so I try to save and grind as much as I can. When I pull for a banner I do it only if I find the card interesting. I’m picky because I’m stingy, so I don’t care about having a full set lol. I’ve spent as much money on a gacha game as I’ve spent on a FF game so that kind of puts things in perspective for me. And I don’t like it. So I’m trying not to buy a pass again unless something crazy happens idk.

Also, on my Lemon8 account

[If you have a hard time reading the image]

Now: "I am a Sylus main... But there's SOMETHING 🤌 missing. Maybe I'm just heartless."

Rafayel

Then: "I will American football punt you back into the ocean."

Now: "You have earned my respect. And I really like you."

Zayne

Then: "😐😐😐 Same."

Now: "I feel like I kin you. But also don't at the same time. 🤔"

Caleb

Then: "Oh, he's boyish and cute. Oh no, he exploded. 😮"

Now: "You hit me like a truck. But I'm a little disappointed on the "yandere" thing." He's not scary or a yandere. 😐 But he is hot. 👀👈👈

Xavier

Then: "Oh, he's cute. I'm sleepy too."

Now: "You ARE Lumiere. Just FFFF—!"

Xavier vs Caleb

It used to be sylus but someone pointed out that sylus would definitely see xavier as the younger prince of Philo and won't be bothered by his possessiveness toward MC. After all, sylus believes he always has the upperhand when it comes to MC. And now that caleb is here and we've got to know how possessive and protective he is toward MC, he would probably, passive-aggressively, beefing with and equally territorial and jealous xavier.

Xavier would be all pouty about caleb in front of MC or when MC talks about caleb but oh boy, not if he is alone with caleb. Maybe they'd bumped into each other around the neighbourhood or in front of MC's apartment, I could see them being snarky at each other while trying to maintain a cool, mature and unbothered body language and face expression. In front of MC, they would maintain a smiley face while spouting subtle, petty things at each other and MC sometimes doesn't realize it!

Caleb would probably showing off and bragging about his "gege; MC's most reliable person since forever; I am in almost every stage of her life and you could never have that" card at xavier. And xavier would stay silent for a while out of annoyance but soon realizes that he's also MC's most reliable partner in battlefields, the one who will always has her back and shields her from wanderers' sneak attacks, caleb can't; a caring neighbour who is given the privilage to walk in and out of MC's apartment anytime he wants, maybe caleb too has this privilage but he got it as a gege and that's normal but xavier's case is special; they're gossip partners who shares the juiciest rumours around the neighbourhood and caleb don't have that. Xavier realizes that he has just as much of an impact and plays a special role in MC's life too, the roles that caleb can't play so he brags about it in the midst of their beefing session. Xavier would play that "you died and left her for a year and I'm the one who comfort her and healed most part of her broken heart that you broke" card so well. Passive-aggressively, of course.

Between those two, I think caleb would be the first one who'd accidently lets his mask cracked for a brief moment before regaining composure. That man can't stand xavier's hungry wolf in innocent-looking sheep's clothing. He would rather see MC spending time with zayne than with xavier. And xavier would thought to himself that he would rather listen to MC sings praises about lumiere, jeremiah and any men than listening to her reminiscing about childhood memories of her and caleb that he wasn't and can never be a part of. But I just know MC would defend xavier whenever the beefing got too heated and caleb gets too snarky. She's already bewitched by xavier's soft voice, pleading eyes, and cute pouts. And caleb just can't stand that!

IF ALL THE LOVE AND DEEPSPACE LIs MEET, WHO WOULD EACH OF THEM DISLIKE/ NOT GET ALONG WITH THE MOST?

Tell your thoughts in the comments why you think so.

[manikas-whims]

Maybe it's just me overthinking but people these days tend to fit characters in certain tropes and nothing else outside of that..the mere idea of a soft spoken person being dominant does not fit with their tropes in the same way that a character with questionable morals is easily reduced to either dom daddy or entirely babygirl..

As someone who's only been playing this game for a month, I really don't see Xavier as a sub. Like from the moment he's introduced, there's a sense of authority, confidence and calm air about him. This, I say, as an ENG Dub player.

I did try the JPN Dub for a while because well, that's my default for anime and other games with multi audio..But for this game I prefer his ENG Dub voice more. Its so soothing 😩🤌

I think his willingness to go along with MC's shenanigans and his gentle manner of speech is reduced to “soft babie boy” lol

To me, he comes off as the most aloof amongst the LIs. Its like he's considering all his actions with MC, and always trying to hold himself back/keep his emotions in control..(which is why his kiss card felt the most wild to me cause he finally took that step and let loose instead of holding back).

It can get annoying because I've literally seen some dumbasses (no offense) on youtube and IG saying that Xavier won't stand a chance against Sylus in a 1 Vs 1 fight because he's apparently “soft, baby, kitten,” etc. lol 😆

and like i understand preferences and glazing your favs but..no offense to your Mafia Daddy but Xavier was out there giving hell to the entirety of N109 Zone and god knows what factions/gangs have beef with him..FFS Lumiere's sword cleaves the fabric of space open with one slash..Lumiere was seen destroying at the top of a building in N109 destroying protocores like he was setting off fireworks..

Like y'all can call me biased or whatever but the one character who's been fighting all his life, its Xavier and for someone to say he won't stand in a fight is just them looking at media with their headcanon glasses on, and no comprehension whatsoever.

There's also alot of misconceptions about Rafayel but I'm thinking of making my own post for that.

Sorry for ranting on yours OP 🙏

I saw you post about Xavier's personality. Could you explain what is the main difference between each dub?

I can only speak regarding my thoughts for the JP and EN as they’re the only languages I’m fluent in among the ones available in LADS!

in the EN dub, xavier’s tone is baseline very gentle. the cadence of his voice is almost always soothing, and even when he’s angry, he sounds very graceful and the language he uses is still quite proper

in the JP script, xavier sounds very self-assured and confident, almost to the point of being aloof. however, he is still extremely endearing, but only in select moments, and only to mc. he’s so absolutely cold to jeremiah but it’s played for laughs! this means, his baseline tone, even on normal conversations with mc, is very confident. i’ve said it before, he talks to mc like how an older boy would be speaking to a younger girl, or how a boyfriend would address their girlfriend. he is not rude, but he is not polite—this is something i have to point out over and over, because when people describe xavier as docile i feel like i have to draw the line because not only does it not match his characterization—there is a reason why xav isn’t submissive. it’s because he is royalty, and he commands respect. the jp dub shows this personality more, especially when he’s angry. he literally sounds like he’s going to burn the entire place down (no joke) when he adapts an angry tone in jp. also the way he talks to jeremiah is so obviously of someone who is used to ordering other people around (but endearingly because we know he loves jemmy)

anyway there are really a million things to say about how stark some of the differences are— but I do understand why it’s difficult to be consistent with this!there are certain nuances that only exist in the jp language and culture and the jp localization team is definitely fitting seiya into the cool jp boyfriend trope so it can appeal to the fans (and my gosh it is working!!!)

i could comment on specific cards in general if you’d want to know more OP but as for a general comment this is what I can say :)
