A little old now though it was a lot of fun to do this meme. Exactly the kind of creative kindling I live for. I wish I could find more

7, 14, 16 for the ask meme thing (Tales)

tales asks (open)

7. favorite main character

I've talked and will talk again about how Shirley is not only my favorite heroine in Tales of, but character in anything. Period. The fact she's a young, female character who deals with suicidal ideation, jealousy, and true anger and is told by the narrative "yes, you should not ignore those feelings" is something truly important to me. I love her most for her mistakes but also her growth <3

If I had to pick a main guy it would be Senel (Legendia bias lol) but Luke is very close. Similar journeys.

BUT!!! Because I wanna ramble, and because she's also very close to my heart. I may be one of the only people who enjoyed Zestiria's anime but think Alisha's arc and character are far better expressed in the game (and dlc). I think she's an amazing hero, and one day will post the fic where she takes center stage because I think she really has what it takes to make that journey.

As things are I am actually quite satisfied with the journey they gave her. In many way it is what I wanted for Estelle in Vesperia. Her learning to navigate politics and acknowledging the darkness in people's hearts while still remaining staunchly pacifist is amazing and she's my favorite knight character in Tales of by far.

I feel liking having Legendia as my favorite game is already an unpopular opinion? And liking Dawn of the New World. (cry laugh emoji goes here) Don't want to be too negative so since it ties into next ask i notp d*zel and rose, so we can go with that. Only positive vibes now~

16 any ships? I am a notorious ship omnivore. If there is a ship tag for a character i like with another chara, I click. All the more so bc I go to shipping for 1. interesting development and psychological stuff 2. not necessarily healthy relationships, laughs

I def have otps tho! My one for Legendia is Chloe/Shirley, but it's faster to type out the characters I DONT ship Shirley with. Shout out to her and Jay <3

I love Colette/Lloyd and Zelos/Sheena from Symphonia and always will.

Abyss has been awhile so it's like uhhh -Natalia/Tear -Guy/Van and Guy/Jade -Anise/Ion but u know. u kno...

For Zestiria Rose/Alisha is my otp but I ship Alisha with Edna and Mikleo as well. For crossovers I also ship her with Chloe, and Jude, and Luke (saw u do the latter as well. tips hat.) Yes many of these r are rp influenced hehe.

Lowkey (highkey) hoping that B.A.P is like Hayao Miyazaki and just randomly come out of retirement every few years

[overlordches]

Trying out a new doodle dump format, hopefully it works okay? Should help give a bit more context to the doodles :'D

A) Apparently some of the LAL VAs did some meme-line reads, and the one Yun's VA did now lives in my heart rent-free. It's glorious. I love it so much.

B) cowboys cowboys cowboys

C) WOW non-LAL characters?? for once??? Karol still has a strong hold on my heart and I love my precious son and I do not draw him enough. Also Zelos is there.

And then some coloured meme redraws!!!

"first 10 lines" writing meme

Thank youuuu to one of my faves @29rynoah for tagging me in the "post your first 10 lines of your last 10 fics" meme forever ago, I'm a disaster so I'm only just getting to it now. It's mostly yugioh with a smattering of Tales in there (I promise, Tales friends, i'll get back to you soon).

Variation on the word sleep - ygo | thiefshipping | 5.5k (oneshot) | rated E Malik waited for Bakura outside the hospital that night, and the apprehension swarming his body made him itch beneath his skin.

2. Philosophy of a Knife - ygo | tornshipping | 100k (ongoing) | Ryou centric | rated M (probably going up to E with the next chapter) Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

3. heartstrings - ygo | thiefshipping | 2.6k (first part of a series) | rated T Tick, tick, tick. Malik’s finger tapped against the window to an arrhythmic beat that he followed with impertinence.

4. Cephalophore - crestoria | gen - Kasque centric | 1.8k (oneshot/zine fic) | rated T Kasque had always felt most at home with a sword in her hand. 

5. Self-surgery - symphonia | onesided zelloyd | 1.8k (oneshot) | rated M Knock-knock. Zelos stood outside Lloyd’s door, rapping his knuckles against the wooden frame with a calculated rhythm.

6. Crush asphyxia - ygo | heartshipping | 2.5k (oneshot) | rated T Loneliness was a familiar feeling to Ryou; emptiness, however, was not.

7. Madraykin - symphonia | gen - Mylene centric | 3k (oneshot) | rated T Once, years ago, Mylene Wilder loved.

8. Phantom Pains - ygo | thiefshipping | Malik centric | 7.2k (oneshot, collab with Luisa) | rated M Control had always been a fickle thing to Malik, something he regarded the way one would a lover. 

9. kill / smile - saw | shotgunshipping | 1k (oneshot) | rated T Lynn Denlon is the first to admit she knows death.

10. Anhedonia - crestoria | gen - Aegis centric | 1k (oneshot) | rated T Becoming a Transgressor was perhaps the first failure Aegis could be proud of.

Feel free to steal this if you want to do it, I don't really know off hand who to tag lmao

1 & 21 for Zelos for the ask meme

HEY YUME!! good to see you!! :D

1: why do you like or dislike this character?

zelos is one of those characters i think i saw a lot of myself in even before i necessarily had the language to explain what those things were, if that makes sense? i found his backstory super compelling when i played through his route for the first time (i must've been 13 or so? can't remember exactly), but that was just one thing. i guess i really like characters who have like, some kind of defining past where, once you know about it, you can retrace a lot of their actions and see just how affected they are by it. BONUS points for being an orphan. if they're an orphan you KNOW they already have that taylor stamp of approval lmao

21: if you're a fic writer and have written for this character, what's your favourite thing to do when you're writing for this character? what's something you don't like?

i like getting into how much of his behaviour is deflection, like using intimacy as a way to AVOID intimacy, for example. his whole "i side with the strongest" attitude, where that comes from. this idea that like...attachments are meaningless, life is about living - having fun, doing whatever is necessary to survive. but is he REALLY having a good time? does he really feel like his life has meaning? not really. so it's fun to explore how his thinking is so maladaptive that he's doing to himself exactly what he's afraid of happening if he weren't so flippant and avoidant. on the other side, i see a lot of people who have him interrogate his past traumas and such and then retain a lot of his zelos-eque behaviours (being a huge manwhore, for example, lmao) and they do this well! i enjoy reading it! it even lines up fairly well with how he's characterized in dotnw. but it's just not something i feel works for my zelos. i think a lot of behaviour is very attention-seeky and i have a hard time letting him open up to other characters and heal his past wounds and then continue to be a flirt in the same way he is early in the game (contrarily, i absolutely see him continuing to be a huge obnoxious flirt with his friends, but maybe in a more genuine manner, if that makes sense lmao. like sometimes he says things that sheena's like wait that was actually a compliment, why am i trying to slap you for that? (she does it anyway of course)).

character ask game!

incorrect quotes generator tag meme

so there's this incorrect quotes generator on perchance, and @worldsfromhoney tagged us to toss some of our ocs in it >:)

This was fun, so I'm tagging @kung-fu-cutbug @kitdriveyards @comicallycubicalcassie @pure-vanilla-lilies @kiraheartilly36 and uhhh anyone else who sees this and thinks "oh this looks fun" to also try this. if they wanna.

Oh and it's lengthy as h*ck cause my basic-bitch fandom trait is that I really fucking love incorrect quotes -

(programme note: there's a character in leaf story whose name doesn't get revealed for a rather silly amount of time. it's kinda an open secret on our discords but lol)

(redacted): *holds a gun out to Leaf* Leaf: I-I don't believe in guns. (redacted): Well, trust me, they're very real. Now take it.

Leaf: This bloodline ends with me. (redacted): That's the fanciest way I've ever heard someone say "I'm gay".

(redacted): I have lots of friends! Leaf: Name one. (redacted): Well, there’s- Leaf: Name one you haven’t gotten incredibly angry at. (redacted): Hey, that’s not fair, then there isn’t any!

(redacted): I’m doing what I can to jog your memory. Leaf: It’s jogging, I guess. Its tiddies are jiggling a little. (redacted): Nice.

Leaf: Think you can answer some questions without the usual level of sarcasm? (redacted): If you can ask the questions without the usual level of stupid.

(redacted): GET BACK HERE YOU DUMB FUCK! Leaf: LET ME RUN FROM THE CONSEQUENCES OF MY ACTIONS!

And now let's add some canon characters into the mix:

Colette: I didn’t know that air fryers are a real thing. Used to think that they were made up by the internet as a funny joke and that their purpose was to “fry air”. Leaf: WAIT, BUT IT FRIES THE AIR TO FRY THE FOOD?? Colette: I DIDN’T KNOW IT WAS A KITCHEN APPLIANCE, MY FIRST ASSUMPTION WAS SOMETHING AKIN TO AN AIR CONDITIONER! Lloyd: IT’S NOT LIKE AN AIR CONDITIONER???? (redacted): You guys clearly don’t own an air fryer.

(redacted): How late were you up last night? Leaf & Colette, in tandem: Me? (redacted): No, not you two. You stay up late all the time. (redacted), to Lloyd: You.

Lloyd: What is love? Colette: An emotional minefield. (redacted): A neurochemical reaction. Leaf: Baby don't hurt me.

Leaf: ARE YOU- Zelos: Fucking. Leaf: KIDDING ME?! YOU- Zelos: Fucking. Leaf: IDIOT! (redacted): …What was that? Zelos: Raine banned Leaf from swearing, so I’m helping her out.

Leaf: I give up. I am so tired. Raine: Get the emergency supply! (redacted): carries Zelos and places him in front of Leaf Zelos: smiles Leaf: AND I AM BACK BABY, LET’S GOOO

Zelos: Subs are so fun to play with. All you have to do is hint at what you might do, back them into a corner with a look, or grab their wrist in a certain way and they're a wide-eyed mess. Raine: What the fuck kind of Subway are you going to? Leaf: Substitute teachers deal with so much shit. (redacted): Guys.

leaf is absolutely just committing to the bit on that one

Zelos: Hi, could I ask how exactly does one accidentally set a lemon on fire?? Raine: Microwave for 40 minutes. 😔 Leaf: Why were you microwaving a lemon??? Raine: I read boiling lemons helps cover up up bad smells (I wanted to cover up the scent of burnt oranges) but I didn't own any pots. (redacted): Did you burn an orange too? How??? Raine: Microwave for 40 minutes. 😔

Raine: I’m the smartest person in my friend group. (redacted): You hang out with Leaf, Lloyd, Colette, and Zelos. (redacted): It’s not as high a compliment as you think.

Colette: So, did everyone learn their lesson? (redacted): No. Leaf: I did not. Zelos: I may have actually forgotten one. Lloyd: Also no. Colette: Oh good, neither did I. Raine: *Exhausted sigh*

Raine: A mouse! Lloyd, pulling out a knife: Go back to where you came from or I'll stab you. Zelos, pulling out a frying pan: It'll make a nice meal! Colette, giving the mouse cheese: You deserve a treat, little guy. (redacted), gasping: It's Ratatouille! Leaf: His name is Remi, dummy. Raine: …I was going to say to just trap it and throw it out the window… what is wrong with you people.

Lloyd: Wait, hold up, why you draw yourself like that? Leaf: Uh, like what? Lloyd: Like with gorgeous, muscular legs. Leaf: Uh, this is what I look like. Lloyd: Leaf: THIS IS WHAT I LOOK LIKE! Lloyd: Okay, then I want big beefy arms. Hot ones. Colette: I wanna have a cowboy hat! Leaf: Okay, arms and hat. *draws them* Zelos: Ooh, give me a cowboy hat too! Leaf: You can't just take Colette's hat idea, Zelos! She thought it up all by herself like a good person! Come up with your own thing! Zelos: BUT I WANNA LOOK COOL! Raine: Put Zelos on one of those stupid baby tricycles. Zelos: NO!! Leaf: Tricycle, done. *draws it* (redacted), want anything? Raine, making finger guns: Pew pew. Leaf: A blaster?! No, that's not really our style, (redacted). (redacted), making finger guns: Pew pew. Leaf: You know what, okay. *draws it* But it's just for holding, not for shooting.

officially done with tales of phantasia!! i'm so glad i finally sat down and completed the first tales game that started it all :) some random junk thoughts below:

it was definitely really cool seeing all of the events, items, places, artes etc that would eventually be referenced again in symphonia. every time they would mention something that i had heard/seen first in symphonia, i'd be like that leonardo-dicaprio-pointing meme. i would especially get super excited when the fighting of the spirit theme would play when fighting the summon spirits. ugh that song just goes so damn hard, even the psx version!! i think i mentioned it before but it must have been sooooo awesome to play symphonia the first time it came out for those original phantasia fans. the amount of callbacks that there are between the two games is just insane and as a die-hard symphonia fan, i definitely enjoyed every single one of them

special mention to the derris emblem because, although it was super random how you get the emblem (some stranger at a bar gives it to you?? or sells it??), the derris emblem inclusion in symphonia now makes a bit more sense lol.

interesting to see that the church of martel still exists in phantasia. i would have thought that because of that one skit in dawn of the new world where zelos mentions that the church of martel's days are numbered, that it was a reference to the church not being around in phantasia anymore, so it was surprising to see them still kicking around.

the plot twist as to why dhaos is so bent on destroying anyone who uses magitech was not so much as a plot twist having come from symphonia, but even then the game gives you plenty of hints as to what magitech does. still, for a series that's known for its plot twists, this one didn't really have any shocking ones. not really griping on it cus i mean this game is pretty old but i was expecting something larger for its big reveal at the end lol.

that said, the battles at the end were cool, especially the theme that played during dhaos's last transformation. also, i'm guessing dhaos's last phase inspired mithos yggdrasil's design?

luna's summon is so powerful (i had her summon turned on pretty much always except for the final battles) and it's kind of sad how much it was watered down for symphonia.

arche's spells are the MVP of the game. once i finally was able to afford a mystic charm or whatever to speed up her casting, it was over for everyone!

i spent the whole damn game not truly understanding how holy bottles work. even when i'd be in the overworld definitely overleveled in comparison to the overworld enemies, i'd still get encounters. i'd still use them in hopes they would reduce them at least a bit lol.

speaking of, the random encounters weren't so bad but towards the end i was just pretty much fed up with them D: i think for the last three or so dungeons i was just using guides to know exactly where to go because getting lost ON TOP OF having random encounters is NOT fun and i felt like it was ruining the experience for me.

no offense to chester but i never once even considered having him as my party member after he came back. and like, the game gives you chester when you're like 2/3s through and it's like, why? between arche and klarth i felt like i had no reason to ever consider him, and catching him up level- and equipment-wise with other characters was just too much of a hassle so i just stuck with cless-arche-klarth-mint always.

although i started suzu's sidequest and seeing her and the ninja village was definitely cool because Sheena!!!, i didn't finish it since i saw that you'd have to be at least level 60 to complete it due to the coliseum fights and i was like, level 42 when i went into the final dungeon lol. so i might come back to it later since i want to see how it turns out. i know she joins your party but again, at this point unless you want to do it for completionist sake it's like, why D: sorry suzu! still so damn cool that she's so skilled and she's only like freaking 12 years old. before playing phantasia i thought she was going to have a bigger role in the game but hey, this is cool too.

the plot of the game was interesting and the time traveling aspect was cool but, i think overall it just felt kind of flat. after fighting dhaos a SECOND time and him escaping to the future or whatever it was like, "how many times do we have to teach you this, old man?" the game didn't really have any interesting secondary characters to the plot like botta or altessa: sure there was morrisson but that was only at the beginning and yeah his death was sad but after that, you mostly just spend going dungeon to dungeon searching for summon spirits or ways to get stronger to defeat dhaos--not that many secondary plots. again just being picky and i know this is a SNES game but yeah the overall plot got sort of meh after the second time beating dhaos.

the ending was ok, i'm glad to see that arche finally reunited with her mom :)

anyway, overall it was a good game i'd say. the graphics in the game are soooo good to look at and it was the type of SNES-style graphics game i had been itching to play. i know there's an OVA adaptation of the game which i'll have to check out and see what that's all about--i wonder if there will be more interactions between the characters? i kind of felt that the connection between the party members wasn't all there, especially once chester joins.

either way, i'm glad i can now add phantasia to my list of tales games completed, and even more glad that i can now move on to FINALLY start my replay of berseria!!! ohhhh i'm ready to get my heart destroyed again!!
