especially because i'm rewatching it with a friend and my feels are re-igniting
the scene at mantaic when it's liberated and everyone's celebrating with fireworks and dancing and stuff??? i love to just
imagine that before raven turned in for the night that he was out there, that they were all out there for a bit, and all the kids were dancing kind of festival-like in those circle dances
and they were all having a super awesome time and at one point rita and raven were in a circle and raven just saw rita laughing and having such a good time and his heart just kind of skipped a beat
so he just was like hahaha old man, tired, stuff and things, /retires
i also like to believe he was totally feigning sleep in the inn there to just sit off the sudden worry he had over feeling things over vesp fams and rita in particular
their interactions the whole game slay me, though, i /adore/ their banter
even if it's just taken as platonic, tbh, i could think about rita and raven all day
/mad raven/rita shipper right here.
OH MY gOD
HI I KNOW WE DON'T REALLY TALK MUCH BUT
RAVEN/RITA SHIPPERS ARE RARE SO YES
I LOVE FINDING OTHER SHIPPERS ITS SO HARD TO BE LIKE
HEY DOES ANYONE... LIKE THIS HORRIBLE PAIRING
JUST DONT MIND THE AGE GAP
I'M LIKE 'oKAY IT IS A HUGE AGE GAP AND I MIGHT HAVE SOME LIMITS ABOUT THINGS BUT YEAH SHIP IT I DO"
dsglkdsmgksdmg I SHIP IT SO HARD...
their dynamic is what sells me so hard
let's be honest raven has a type
and its the 'wont take ur shit' type
he's a maso we all know this
know its more superficial
it makes me want to curl up on the floor
LIKE SO MUCH OPPORTUNITY THERE
ugh i want to replay vesperia so bad but xbox /screams
/needs to get the japanese version and just. have computer open with the translation
and that it's so intimate to raven in a sense that he doesnt like it being exposed... but similarly rita's like BITCH LEMME MAKE SURE U WONT DIE
IF YOU FIND ANY GREAT DIALOGUE THATS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT PING Me
tbh i just... can't stop with rita/raven
because like, there's so much development needed to even get them on a "healthy relationship" level that also isn't like "lol ur dating a 15 y o waAAT"
SO MUCH POTENTIAL ufghfdhgfdkjmnh
/has a raven journal just so you know....................
CEASE UR GIVING ME A HEART ATTACK
I M MAKING SO MANY DUMB FACES AT MY SCREEN OKAY
if you... ever get on the raven scene again i sweartogod
we need to trash ship this shit
i dunno about games. i'm only sticking to emp and definitely can't play him there because raven and alvin cr is like a dream i want to live
I'm only debating drift fleet for rita and that's because i just want to get back into my jam, not necessarily for castmates/shipping purposes at all
that and shipping it in a game would take a lot of work and fear of crazy backlash LAFMDSLGMdsg
doing it in a game would take a lot man i know that feel
LIKE, ive done questionable ships before
BUT .... that was evil homicidal robots
wheatley/glados man it was hilarious
you know maybe i just tend to muse violent ladies
Ummm... I TDMed Raven at Ariel with an Aged-up Rita...and the ship feels were felt...
oh my god
Well...it helped that she had filled out..'kay?
yeah, the age gap is the main... problem
In a smut game, most characters are aged up.
like, that's why i don't openly run aorund like GUYS
because people kind of freak out and its like
COMPLETELY UNDERSTANDABLE
...you have seen the fanart of the two of them, haven't you?
i say i ship but then i immediately "BUT YOU KNOW I GO FOR THE FLUFF FIRST AND THEN SMUT WHEN SHE'S OLDER OKAY. OKAY."
(I do weird ships. I shipped Raven with estelle just to tick people off)
smut like that is really skeevy i dont think even raven himSELF would do it AT ALL
omg raven estelle is pretty cute
No. It's actually game canon
i dont ship it but i see it
Remember when a young girl hit on him and he was like "Ah. Thanks but no."
like i'd feel it'd be like
Now Judy on the other hand....
raven and judith is spicy
denial, then like aw crap i cant let her know, shit she knows NOTHING IS GONNA HAPPEN GURL OK, goddamn fluff, idngfdkng
i love yuri and estelle as much as the next gal but yuri and judith is so jammy
That's my OTP from the game
HIDE HITTING ON EACH OTHER
THEYRE LIKE LOL SHAMELESS FLIRTING
Or literally hitting each other
like i also ship yuri and estelle because it's freaking adorable and i love adorable ships
but yuri and judith is also something i can get behind
i ship too many things tbh
i have a fondness for rita/estelle too
and by fondness its freaking adorable
vesperia is good for multi-shipping...
So is Symphonia and Abyss
thats why i generally dont have problems with my tales ships and talking about them
because theyre so condusive to shipping
but ships like this im just like
/I DONT WANT TO SCARE PEOPLE
Abyss is probably the only game where I shipped the "canon" couple
ScREECHES AFFECTIONATELY AT
luke and tear are cuties...
asch and natalia was what killed me tho, tbh tho im a fan of tragic couples
.../is an odd guy and natalia shipper
I shipped Jade with Natalia, Anise with Guy
i just have a weakness for the ships that cannot be
jade and natalia aRE SUCH SASSBUCKETS
i think it's how i go with tragic ships
the tragic ones i'm also behind and get slayed
jade/dist is my main jam because i love tragic
but then i have the alternate 'WELL THIS IS LESS TRAGIC HERE"
She tries to choke him, he slaps her...
MOSTLY JUST LIKE /shakes head
jade slapping natalia was liek JESUS
honestly i just love their sass
'Bout time someone did it.
yeah, cries... natalia is lovely but she needed a bit of a dose
like she was super proactive and stuff but also was feeling very privileged about it
(I also ship her with Peony...but for royal wedding reasons)
drawing back to rita/raven for a hot second
that i actually was SUPER HAPPY WITH
But my main ship will always be Jade and Natalia...their clothing supports it!
because it was multichaptered, lovely, actually dealt with the social issues of EVERYTHING and was moving at a slow ass pace
and they hadnt even admitted anything to each other or even themselves really
and there were multiple plots and it was glorious
and i was emotionally compromised for awhile after that
it is true, their clothing matches LOL
I once did Jade/Natalia with a friend...
that is lovely... i love rping my less popular ships
yes it's also great when you get the chance it's like
the stars have aligned and the heaven's have opened to tell me that yes miracles do happen
It was a panfandom forum, and one of the characters got wind of it...I think it was Asch...and was like... "WON'T TAHT MAKE HIM THE NEXT KING?"
It was the best thing I read...
crying. that would be glorious
well hey now he's on peony's level ???? LOL
my response: *smiles beatifically
but wow thank you guys so much
i do have a natalia muse that i could iron out a little if you'll have me, i'd love to try that ship out
i've barely taken her out to play tbh
but yeah i tend to ship ships that can be skeevy/OR ARE EXPLICITLY SKEEVY (read: hansanna) but dflkmfdh
The reactions were great but I think my favorite - after asch's was Tear's. "I'm staying in the Qliphoth"
"a wise decision" /raine voice
sadly, we didn't have a Raine.
i even have a trash ship with her
DID YOU KNOW, my first tales otp was kratos/raine
the soft spots, they remain
for some inane reason to this day i cannot get rid of the fondness i feel
My first tales game was legendia...my ship? Senel and Chloe
fdklhmf ughh i need to play legendia!!!
actually do they have a rom/emu for that
first tales ships are forever tales ships ... at least for me
even now i look at kratos/raine like "IT CANT EVEN HAPPEN POST-CANON LOL"
honestly i came up with wild scenarios for those two as a kid
even some random story where raine infiltrated cruxis??????? and it was at that point where no one really knew wtf kratos was doing so he was like helping her but simultaneously like dafuq ????
get out of here raine, its dangerous
I could probably even dig it up, it's somewhere on my transferred files.......
I uh...actually liked them, too.
we're soulbonding tonight, i feel it CRIES
i come back to kratos/raine
why did i never do this before
CAN I JUST HOLD YOU ALL FOREVEr
We can always talk about Sheena/Zelos...
us rn
who is hans??? we dont know
i ship zelos with a wild breadth of people
but he and sheena got dat history
we can both be anna because then we'd be truly of the same mind....because same person
or hans. we could both be hans
but that might be trouble
actually not both. you're in here, too, person i don' tknow
i muse anna so i say anna
omg i didnt introduce you both???
I play Sheena all over the place.
yeah, i met this one at Paradisa waaay back when i was a RP bab
I was the one talking about her joining Empathias
i played genis back then, whoa
KIRBY AND SHEENA WERE SO CUTE, ok
how could kirby not be cute with anyone tho
HE GAVE EVERYONE FRIENDSHIP BASKETS AND SHIT
honestly playing kirby at a game was just the most cavity-inducing thing
which is ... probably why i apped GLaDOS
GOTTA STRIKE SOME BALANCE
and then genis who is a good mix
Oh shit i left my judith tea steeping for 02430493409 hours
I HOPE IT TASTES OKAY FOR YOU
i made tales of vesperia tea blends on adagio
i am not familiar with this concept
basically its this tea website, and theres a fandom tea blend section
where you can kind of put percentages of tea and flavor together
and you can make a blend and name it and give it a pretty picture
to give you an idea ill link u to the baes
honestly im still in the process of slowly ordering and taste testing them
and so far im happy cries
i have yuri, repede, judith and estelle rn
this sounds very fascinating...
If i say that sounds like my cup of tea, will I get hit?
would jude taste like strawberries?
you wont puns are welcome here
oh his blend does indeed have strawberries in it LOL
but this is so cute oh wow
i intend to do all the tales of at some point
at least the ones ive played to this point
I have to watch caffiene levels...
ahh, estelle might be a good bet
...Is there a Grune tea? She slept a lot...so no caff...
and judy's isnt too caffeinated too if im right
ive only made vesperias so far
and i experimented with portal to get a feel for it but im not actualy... touting those LMAO
Oh cool. They have decaf teas
for sure! there's so many fandom blends out there too
quietly hunts down that oldass kraine fic on the side
INVASION_CRUXIS.doc THAT SEEMS PROMISING
oh come on this is only one sentence
i know i had written to a point
yuan was in ther somewhere CRIES
im crying this is horrible
there was like a half-elf newcomer line and shit too like
then again i guess all those angels come from somewhere
i just love how systematic this is
2009 ... i was 15??? i think
this actually isnt half bad despite the weirdass scenario
I liked the idea behind it
And the whapping with the staff
LMAO raine is the best for that
I always wanted to do a scene with Sheena taking away/borrowing Raine's staff and Zelos fleeing for his life.
the best is the battle staff, that crazy spiky one
oh man im trying to remember what this story was going into endgame
... especially since i left off with Yuan entering the room
and being thoroughly shocked by finding raine in there and not kratos
and raine basically almost completely outing the renegades
JESUS WHAT IS GOING ON IN HERE
i dont even know if i knew
the only thing i remember is that kratos' intentions were to get a key crest on her and take her back to lloyd but i dont think that was gonna end up happening
oh jeez this fanfic folder is full of old relics
like raine and genis coping with the fact that everyone is dead
jeez i was an angsty teen
zelos stop playing matchmaker pls
"but indeed, he was a hologram" why
another fic about the group hanging at altamira before they all part ways post-game
this characterization makes current me pretty happy tbh
man though, Kratos/Raine was my jam
you know i think i just am a sucker for ships with massive amounts of guilt and betrayal and horribleness in them LOL
i rewatched the schwann betrayal this morning
AND THEN THE POST SCENES???
LIKE WHERE SHE SOUNDS LIKE SHES ON THE VERGE OF TEARS THE WHOLE GODDAMN TIME
but it's okay schwann brigade had him out and beat them all somehow
there was a horrible horrible comic i found on pixiv about the betrayal too
which was very morbid and rita and raven oriented
HONESTLY YEAH THO I WONDER HOW THE HELL THEY MANAGED
like ... HOW LONG DID BA'UL TAKE
i even threw it on
postimg to torment my friend because otherwise it'd shrink because its so long
in apology have some cute art this picture makes me think of mantaic and the earlier thought of circle dancing for some reason and for that reason it is special to me
i accidentally saved all of these onto my gaming drive
so i have a random flood of rita x raven pictures on it... which ive been too lazy to move
raven/rita was the first time i actually went fanart hunting
like, even now with alvin/leia, i don't really hunt or save fanart
but raven/rita i was like "SHIT I GOTTA FIND SOME OF THIS"
it doesnt help that they look adorable together
oh jeez i know youll appreciate this
/was a really big raven fangirl
i got a commission done of rita/raven cuteness
/even bought some raven/rita doujin....
i got that re:code anthology
and i was just like
here they are the baes
BUT WOW JELLY OF THE DOUJIN
honestly i'd commission WAY MORE RITA x RAVEN BUT AGAIN, AFRAID OF THE SKEEVE
speaking of a new piece is way overdue
maybe tomorrow ... muehehehe
i must it is my solemn duty
t-tbh i already feel a lot safer plurking about this ship LMAO
so glad i found more shippers
and in the same night kratos/raine???? DAMN
well if you ever feel like you need to private plurk something, you got two people to choose from
or both
we need to make a safe circle of our awesome ship
(just wanted to let you know that it's okay to not include me i don't mind since you know terri better and might be more comfortable :|
like as long as ur both ok being in each other's airspace, honest to god the more the merrier
i'm fine
god i need to go to bed but now im so hyped
go sleep.../probably should too
thank you so much for getting in on this plurk ofmdgkmfdg
thank YOU for plurking about it 8D
and if you ever need a raven---well i'm rusty so maybe i'm not top choice.
whispers in here before sleeping: i would be down for any and all thread shenanigans
i'm sure your raven is wonderful
ok sleep time now
you know where to find me...
