Before I request anything I just want to ask is this blog alive?

lol, valid question. i’d say we’re like half dead. both of us admins just kind of faded from the fandom for a bit. we only made this blog on a whim, and once we played the game so many times we just kind of starting leaning away from the blog? but as of right now i (admin ju) am the only one replying to asks every now and then. so we aren’t totally dead. feel free to send in a request!

Hello! So there’s this headcanon on Reddit where magic using characters, (pretty much everyone other than Olberic), can lose control of their powers under emotional circumstances. How would the other travelers reach if Therion got angry and accidentally started burning everything? Or if Alfyn was sad and started freezing everything? Sorry if this is a boring question, I’m just curious as to what your response would be! :)

it’s such an interesting concept! at this point the travelers know each other well so they’d definitely do the most just to calm the two down. i think a major concern would be getting therion to stop burning things and have olberic or tressa kind of calm him down. i know our dear professor would be spouting some nonsense of an old fire that happened in some continent at some point and talking very logically about emotions like “this is very dangerous! you should always think first.”

Could you do a Christmas Headcanon of H'aanit x Olberic please :o

olberic finds them matching christmas outfits and h’aanit pretends to hate them but secretly wears them at night

holiday dates where they visit bakeries in warm color coordinated outfits

olberic putting a wreath over linde’s neck

h’aanit finding the perfect christmas tree to surprise olberic

Christmas imagine or headcanons of therion and reader on a winter date please

hcs of reader on a date with therion during the week of christmas.

you aren’t expecting much from therion during the holidays mostly because you know he hasn’t really had anyone to spend the holidays with until now

so you’ve been cautious and keen on spending almost every day with him up to christmas

but suddenly he hasn’t been meeting up with you for the past three days 

so you’re worried he may have gotten into some trouble

another day passes and you’re about to head out into the thick fields of snow to go looking for him when he knocks on your door

you open the door and tug him inside in a big warm embrace telling him you were worried he’d forgotten about your plans for this week

and therion smiles reassuring you he hadn’t forgotten

instead he grabs your hand and pulls you outside. the two of you walk silently down the path

until you come upon a park that’s been heavily decorated in red and gold garland. wreaths are strewn about with sparkling lights

and you let out a gasp in surprise as therion leads you around the park

“i wanted to surprise you”

Headcannon for who can last the longest out in snow, and what each traveler does with the snow.

Ophilia lasts the longest, as she’s lived in the snow nearly her entire life. Loves building snowmen ever since she was a child and that still hasn’t changed.

Cyrus, after getting accidentally hit by a snowball, will join in the snowball fight. Will use magic and play dirty

Tressa makes snow angels, builds snowmen, and joins in the snowball fights. May try to use a subtle amount of wind magic to turn the tide…

Olberic joins in the snowball fights. Everyone wants him on their team because he’s an immovable wall and doesn’t flinch from getting hit

Primrose would dress up the snowmen that the other travelers build. Dances for the travelers participating in the snowball fight

Alfyn, like Tressa, does pretty much everything. Enjoys building snowmen the most. 

Therion does snowball fights. Good luck trying to hit him-

H’aanit is the best at snowball fights. She can shoot the others’ snowballs out of the air and they make it a game for her.

Chrismas headcanons for the eight travelers? Who is excited, who is not, who decorate the Christmas tree, etc etc?

no one is not excited for Christmas, biggest hc

Ophilia sings Christmas carols at the church. Spends most of her time with children to make ornaments or wreaths. 

Cyrus would read plenty of Christmas tales to children. May put on a magic show with ice magic. Draws Dreisang the Archmagus as Santa

Tressa puts on all of the Christmas deals. Manages to have time to wrap up presents. Eats nearly all of the cookies. Decorates the Christmas tree.

Olberic is put into an ugly sweater competition by the other travelers. Proudly wins it. Later helps H’aanit take their Christmas tree down and helps decorate it. Refuses to be Santa.

Primrose puts together a choreography for the holiday and has a cute festive outfit as well. Will try to help H’aanit with baking.

Alfyn would help out wherever he can. He loves seeing (mostly) everyone’s spirits lifted by the Christmas cheer. Saves up leaves to buy plenty of drinks later for a drinking contest on Christmas.

Therion appears calm and apathetic on the outside, however his heart would beat with excitement as Christmas grew closer. There’s plenty of things to steal and he takes advantage of it. If he sees an orphan he discreetly gifts them something.

H’aanit bakes plenty of festive treats, much to everyone’s pleasant surprise. Chooses the Christmas tree they’ll use. Puts a small ornament along with Linde’s charm on her tail.

Are you aware of the four extra shrines?

yes, I am! took me too long to figure out the path to the runeblade shrine though, whoops

[octopathtravelersreact]

I JUST THOUGHT OF THIS idk if it’s already canon but what if the travelers were the vessels for their god (the deity at each respective temple)???

ooh i’d thought about that before as well! I’d love to find out more about the gods and have it involve the travelers.
