All Aboard!

My name is Gira. I write and post about Volo and enjoy submas content. Search the "girafic" tag on my blog for my writing, see my current writing beneath the cut, or find me on AO3 at girasolen.

Current writing:

Ergo Sum

"The savior of Hisui never wanted to be a savior. They never asked to end up in Hisui alone, weighed down by a duty they don't want, in the service of a God who won't answer them. If it was up to them, they'd much rather write their own destiny.

Volo knows something about speaking to God and not getting a response. He knows even more about loneliness. Most of all, he knows what it's like to want something so badly that it burns you.

They might have more in common than they think."

(A character study and alternate plot for Legends Arceus, exploring the world where the hero joins Volo.)

You are challenged by Corbeau of the Rust Syndicate!

I am obsessed with him.

The visual storytelling in Corbeau's royale profile pic is so funny. Like... the first one just looks like he used the fucking camera on his LAPTOP- dude we look like we're in a zoom meeting with him, and we can see Philippe is blurred in the background. He could've just retaken another photo 😭

Then it feels like someone (or more than one person) called him out for this bad selfie, because in your rematch against him in the Infinite royale, he has an updated picture where he deliberately went all the way to the Sushi High Roller restaurant with his grunts and made sure they all posed with him.

Also if you go all the way TO Sushi High Roller to where the photo was taken there's two items you can find, and I feel like that implies his grunts forgot or dropped sumthin.

It's probably for the best that Corbeau keeps the coat on while they're body-swapped anyway. All the rust syndicate members suddenly watching like 👀👀👀 bc "Emmet" is taking off his hat, running a hand through his sweaty hair, unbuttoning his coat-

Ahem. Anyway.

boss is your situationship interested in another one or-

- corbeau doesn’t notice the other member’s stares at all

- he also refuses to take off emmet’s coat out of spite; unlike his own coat, which is much lighter and thinner, emmet’s is made of a more insulated material

- mr. gray actually has a handful of admirers around the rust syndicate; though about a third are part of a betting pool who think he’s together with the boss in a secret relationship

⚠️WARNING! Minor spoilers for Legends ZA- please proceed with caution crossing in the yellow line! ⚠️

From the looks of it, we did end up getting some sort of resolution to PLA for a bunch of characters!

1) Ingo did end up going back home, which is awesome to hear! They did end up getting those two reunited it seems! ^^

2) Volo appears to still be alive? 👀 Well, definitely was not expecting that! Maybe he has an immortality status like AZ? Or did he travel to the future?

3) Looks like the PLA protag’s current condition is unclear… I don’t believe that there was any sign at all stating ‘hey! Survey corps member got back to original time!’ Sooo… hopefully they got back, right? 😅

There is one thing that has been on my mind though… when Ingo came back, he said it ‘was time for him to return’. While it is likely to mainly get back to his timeline, I wondered if he could sense something’s about to go amok? Aka… Is Volo likely to try anything in the present since his plans in the past have failed? And if so… is that going to be seen in an upcoming game (maybe BW remakes) or DLC for ZA?

Either way, I thought all this was interesting and neat! ^^
