I am still reading, but I am confused on the trio's names.
Gust, Frost, and Blaze are the names they adopted while on their adventure, right?
And Rime, Flare and Zephyr are the names they're 'awarded' for their successful timelines/universes? Like are those names only used to refer to which timeline universe we're talking about? Or is it the name they adopt after their quests?
and then Viola, Space and Flow are they names they pick up and chose when they join the crew?
Also for the master post - it looks like all links work ^-^ except for links to tags that have a space/- in them. I think this is bc tumblr changed how tag links worked a little while ago? Where they replaced the "-" in the URL with like %20 or something ^-^
Okay before we clarify, thank you so much for checking all those links for us lol. One of us will be sure to fix the links to the tags specifically sometime in the near future
As for your question about the VoS trio's nicknames, you are correct that Gust, Frost, and Blaze are the names they gave themselves during Viola of Space! However, their newer nicknames were not a "reward" so to speak, but more so a way to distance themselves from their past while still calling back to it.
The boys switch to Zephyr, Rime, and Flare because they aren't comfortable using their original nicknames when referring to each other anymore, though this change doesn't happen until the three of them are reunited many, many years later (during the actual plot of Ravioverse, specifically).
Flow, Viola, and Space are nicknames purely used by all the other Ravios. You won't hear anyone but the VoS Trio using Zephyr, Rime, and Flare for one another because to them, those names are more personal.
