Rin Tohsaka

"If you go around blurting stuff like that, people will get the wrong idea."

[velvetmana]

"Do you really think you can outmatch a mage of the Tohsaka family? How foolish."

Welcome to @velvetmana, a canonically accurate roleplay blog for Rin Tohsaka!

Rin is written as a complex, prideful, and fiercely intelligent mage who walks the tightrope between the expectations of her heritage and her own emotions. Expect banter, tsundere energy, calculated moves, and the occasional tsks and glares—but beneath all that, a girl trying to protect what she believes in.

Canon timeline: post-UBW True Ending & open to other continuities (Fate route, Hollow Ataraxia, F/GO-compatible verses, etc.) Shipping: Selective & chemistry-based. Shirou is endgame for main verse. Interactions: Open to canon with strong plotting. Tone: Mix of serious, introspective narrative and classic Rin sass.

[OOC: About the MUN]

Hey there, I'm Rira, your resident Rin enthusiast. I’m a Russian-Japanese writer and a longtime Fate enthusiast—been in this fandom for a while now. Rin has been my muse since I first watched the 2006 Studio DEEN adaptation as a teenager (yes, I survived that.) I’ve since read the VN, explored side materials, and fallen down the Fate rabbit hole more times than I can count.

Age: 24

Languages: Fluent in English, Russian, and Japanese

Fate fan since: 2016

Favorite routes: Unlimited Blade Works & Heaven’s Feel

Favorite pairings: Rin x Archer, Rin x Artoria (rarely but respectfully), Rin x Shirou Emiya (in UBW context)

Roleplaying since: 2017, back when LiveJournal was at its peak

It's been 4 years since me and @kurayaminosakura became friends with benefits, so we celebrated our anniversary yesterday. It was a night to remember, for us both. 💋

They say some Mystic Codes are designed specifically to suit the wearer's fashion sense. For me, the Formalcraft dress is exactly that.

The first time I wore it, I felt like a goddess in red.

It's true that a sister's love is all it takes to heal a wounded, darkened heart.

Nee-san... thank you for always staying by my side and seeing the good in me on the darkest of my days.

[velvetmana]

Sis... please don't cry anymore, because I'm here for you like I always was.

The passage of time may have separated us so cruelly, but here you are, back home in the warm embrace of your older sister.

One of the reasons why I love Fate/stay night and Tsukihime is because they were ahead-of-their-time eroge that incorporated lesbian H-scenes, among other things.

These scenes featuring Artoria and Rin, Kohaku and Akiha, are my most cherished memories. ❤️

[velvetmana]

Nasu was definitely onto something, because both Fate/stay night and Tsukihime feature a servant girl who's secretly in an intimate relationship with her master's emotionally distant girlfriend.

Rin and Akiha were my bi awakenings for a reason, and it's because of these CGs.

Luvia grew up to learn the value of humility and has fallen in love, but I'm not happy... because I never liked the idea of driving someone other than Shirou around or reciprocating the romantic feelings of my own cousin.

I thought I'd finally escaped her chaos after the Clock Tower. Turns out, I just signed up for the deluxe package.

Luvia looks at me like that—with that smile—and expects me not to crash the car? She even dropped a pin to Big Ben like this is some kind of magical date. I was supposed to be the tsundere love interest, not the designated driver in this ridiculous romcom.

And before anyone asks: yes, we're direct cousins. No, I'm not okay with this. And yes, Luvia’s still calling me every hour.

I'll always cherish my first time with Archer, even though it felt like something so forbidden yet so fated.

I didn't mean for it to happen—not really. It was one of those nights, quiet and suspended in that strange space between war and peace. We said little, but his eyes held the weight of everything we couldn't speak aloud.

And then… Archer's silence turned to touch, which eventually gave way to something more.

His body was familiar in ways it never should have been. Every kiss carried the weight of futures lost. Every touch burned with the regret of choices we could never undo.

And even now, with Shirou in my heart, I can’t pretend that I don’t remember how it felt to fall apart in Archer’s arms.

[velvetmana]

I went to check in on Archer, and I found him in bed like this with Artoria. I'm not mad, but he seriously needs to keep it in his pants when he's with a lady other than me.

I'm using my Command Seal to ensure that Archer maintains his composure around ladies other than me and only gets hard at the sight of me when I'm barely dressed... not because I'm horny, but because I'm his Master and girlfriend.

Miss Tohsaka, what is your opinion on Ishtar?

There was that one time where Ishtar said "Drop the panties, gurl ♡" when I told her about my progressing relationship with Shirou, so she can be a bit bold at times.

But again, she's mostly tsundere like me (especially around Gudao and Gudako), so I respect her.
