(+Giovanni would definitely provoke them about it.)

i’m not very far into legends za, so not really spoilers, more musings on volo than anything LOL

but volo’s costume on display in the museum. i have many a thought.

ok because first off. IMMORTAL VOLO REAL HOLY SHITTT. HOW MANY CENTURIES IT TAKES HIM FOR REAL!!!

but also! because the costume is given BY the schemer himself my first thought was well of course he wants his arceus cosplay to be seen as such an important historical artifact. he’s got a not insignificant god complex. for his costume to be put next to statues of dialga and palkia? please. how much of the information given on the costume and therefore the Sinnohan people can you trust, given the source? Like, really did they style their hair like Arceus? fr?

the more i think about it though, i think it’s all relatively accurate. or, at least not lies. its hard to tell given his obvious inauthenticity, but to me it seems like Volo has a genuine love and appreciation for history, particularly when it comes to his own people and the mark they left on the world. I don’t think Volo would want an inaccurate representation of his people in a museum.

given that, the confirmation that Volo’s postgame outfit is a replica of his people’s— his GONE people’s— is sort of an illustration of what his pain with the world is. His culture is gone, like GONE GONE. nothing but crumbling stone and some unreadable glyphs. the outfit he wears is a VISIBLE sign of what he doesn’t have, and maybe even lost in his amorphous backstory.

when he remakes the world, is he looking to return to that time? does he want to recreate the Sinnoh people’s former glory? it’s maybe a peek at what his new ideal world would look like.

[pkmnpearlversion]

this is headcanon territory, but i also think that Volo didn’t live through his people’s height of power. i think he’s a pretty new immortal, as in found a way to live longer after PLA— or maybe partnering with giratina in that way made him live longer, idk. he just has a hubris about him that I don't think would be in a person who'd had a long life

so when i say i don’t think the costume information is all lies but is maybe not quite accurate, i mean i don’t know really how much VOLO even knows about the Sinnoh people and their customs. I think he knows much more than anyone else— save Cogita, but i don’t think she tells him shit lmao— but how much can he piece together from a crumbling historical record, particularly about fashions and daily life? what does he know about what their lives were really like, not in grandiose myths?

basically, it’s the best information volo has, whether they were really that great or not. and whether they actually had that fuckass hairstyle or not

[realm-sweet-realm]

Agreed. Volo comes off as a very lonely person who has never had community, and as very young. His fixation with the long-dead culture he’s descended from feels like both him trying to understand why his life is so difficult and him trying to forge an identity.

Headcannon: Cyrus, now free from the Distortion World (And by law, he has to live with Cynthia so she can supervise him), He discovered Animal Crossing and is addicted to it.

(Sorry if my english sounded bad asf)

I love this idea of cyrus being addicted to animal crossing lol

i once would have headcanoned modern volo as at least wanting to hear cyrus out during the events of diamond/pearl/platinum. make a deal, even. but i've also always believed that he and cyrus are actually incredibly different in their feelings and goals and wouldn't end up finding enough common ground to work together, for a lot of reasons.

but after plza... after the tiny implications of his great character growth (plugging my own post)... i think volo would not stand for the world's destruction and recreation at all. i think he, like giratina, has realized they both have a duty to protect sinnoh. he still has a burning curiosity about arceus, i'm sure, but that hubris and desire for mass destruction are gone.

this is to say my new headcanon is that volo sent giratina after cyrus. that volo and giratina still had some sort of bond even centuries later, that volo has at least been to the distortion world if not spent a lot of time ("time") in there. we hear from laventon the story of giratina's redemption arc. if volo keeps seeing himself in giratina, why not follow its lead? why not be the antiheroes of sinnoh together?
