from @fontasticcrablettes’ story about flynn in a neat hat
Fun question: If there's a deadly sin that each member (plus Flynn) of Brave Vesperia is or potentially guilty of what would you pick? For example I could picture Yuri embodying wrath if he went down a darker path or envy for Flynn.
That’s a good question! I actually wrote about this before but I’ve thought about it more since then, and someone else also responded with their ideas but I cannot remember who it was I’M SORRY they were really good though.
Also my interpretation of the deadly sins is very much influenced by FMA.
Yuri as wrath is a good fit. He has a lot of anger at the world and it’s what drives him to violence. He doesn’t have the wild, bloodlust sort of violence seen in Zagi, but a controlled fire of pinpointed anger.
Estelle is gluttony. She’s hungry for knowledge and pursues it even to the point of endangering the others. Gluttony can also be interpreted as selfishness, and Estelle is called out for being selfish in her desires and bossing the others around to serve her whims. On a more physical level, her power consumes far too much aer and leads to the Adephagos - which literally means ‘the glutenous.”
Karol is envy, who is always trying to achieve what others have. He wants to be respected in the Hunting Blades, he wants to be cool like Yuri, he wants power like the Don. He wishes he was braver and stronger, always comparing himself to others.
Raven is sloth - his apathy and failure and do anything about Alexei’s plans led directly to Estelle’s abuse and subsequently Zaude and the Adephagos. He saw what Alexei was doing and chose not to intervene.
Rita is pride. She is very sure of her intelligence and isn’t afraid to show it. She goes with Yuri to the Shaikos Ruins to clear her name because it hurt her pride to let Yuri think she was a thief. Then whenever “scary” things come up, like on the Atherum or her fear of heights, she’s too proud to admit when she’s scared.
Judith is lust, but not in a sexual desire way. I don’t think anyone in the cast is guilty of lust in that sense (except maybe Raven when he’s being Like That). I’m basing this on the idea of lust as hedonism, acting on desire. As she says to Yuri after the Sword Stair, before she joined the group, she and Ba’ul were just flying around, not really thinking of anything. She acted on impulse, destroying the Hermes blastia “because I wanted to,” to clean up her father’s mistakes, rather than out of a sense of duty to the world. She also demonstrates blood lust in her love of fighting and battles. She just does what feels right to her and makes her happy at the time.
Lastly, Flynn is greed, although this is the one I’m least sure of. I heavily debated giving him pride, because his major fault in the game is being so sure that he’s in the right and failing to question his actions after Alexei gives him orders. I feel like Flynn’s real major sins are stubbornness and getting too caught up in the big picture to pay attention to important details, but those were never specifically condemned by the Catholic church. So I’m basing this on the FMA interpretation of greed of wanting to make things yours. Flynn wants power so he can bring all the people he cares about under his protection. Yuri is his friend, so even if he has committed crimes, Flynn will deal with it himself. The lower quarter, the Imperial Knights, his brigade, the whole empire - these things are his and he will protect them, and he will fight anyone he tries to take these things.
Repede has no sins because all dogs go to heaven.
“It will be alright, I’ve got you.”
Because Raven needs to be hugged so badly. I’m really happy with the results for this one 💖
Aaaaand here’s batch number three! Do y’all prefer these in batches, or one by one? I always do them in batches but I could also start queuing them up individually so they span out...idk, doesn’t matter to me!
TEMPLATE SUBMISSIONS: the single-text flynn one came from @fontasticcrablettes and the fludith text string came from @lexdelicata !! both were off-tumblr submissions or else i’d have done them thru the ask box haha please don’t hesitate to send me some if ya like!
careful bro you’re making this sparring scene kinda homoerotic
bro watch out you kinda sound like you’re flirting when we argue
broooo i’m serious you’re making our esteemed rivalry look so gay oh my god
Sometimes, I love to imagine how Alternative Characters could see the events of the "canon" timelile, just because their reactions would be either angsty, either hilarous. Like Sam (Alt!Flynn) what he would think if he could see the events of Zaude from Flynn and Yuri's world (like on a tv?XD) ? I mean it was very different of what happened in his world: Alexei who tries to kill Yuri, Flynn who protect Yuri with his body, Sodia who stabs Yuri. Sam would be like (:o)
It all depends on what part of Sam's story is at, I think!
I think that pre-change Sam would have mixed feelings; although he believes Alexei is in the right, as he aligned with his beliefs no matter what, he would be torn at seeing Yuri at the forefront of the combat. I think a mix of betrayal (Yuri opposing Alexei AND Alexei trying to hurt Yuri) and conflict would be the heart of his view here. He doesn't have context, but he sees his beloved Yuri and his father figure opposing one another and he doesn't know what to do.
Nightfoot would probably give a better answer though 😂
I’ve been thinking about this for a while but, what if at the scene where Yuri throws the core to Flynn in Dahngrest and just, misses. Or Flynn fumbles and it disappears into the water, never to be seen again
LMAOOO
Imagine them all just frozen like ._.
But seriously, Yuri would probably be pissed if Flynn fumbled it or he himself misthrew. I totally picture a whole nother arc of finding another core happening, all the while Yuri's wondering who else he's cheating out of their blastia in order to help the Lower Quarter out.
But nonetheless that would be hilarious 😂
FINALLY got it uploaded!
This is the first set of memes! I've made these during my time in the vesperia discord server!
Here's the rest of them! If people like these I'll probably make more, but my big struggle is finding some good ones 😂 so if anyone wants to submit a template with recommendations for characters I'm more than happy to whip it up
Also yes, most of this batch are Yuraven because I love them
edit; okay so apparently the first batch is going to end up being posted second
God, how long has it been since I've posted here?
I was never a huge Tumblr person but I do miss Vesperia a lot 😔 so maybe I'll get back into the rhythm of things soon
she’s in my veins again but she knows that i’ll bleed her out before i wake exhale her oxygen she burns like heroin
sorry lmao i’m a bit cheesy but!! i have been working on this for like a week or two now and it’s been SO HARD but so rewarding!! this is my first attempt at human art in. at least 7 years i also have to thank @leviathx for the help and advice with a couple parts of the art! you have been a blessing cries
without further ado, this is my @talessecretsanta2019 gift for @blastiax !! i really hope you like it!
i was going to write you a drabble, but honestly i felt like challenging myself this year and i really think it paid off ;u; i really liked the casey and schwann prompt you gave, so that’s what i went with!! happy holidays and sorry for the late gift!
Aren’t you drowning in all that regret?

If you could rewrite some events of the ToV, witch ones would you choose? And how would you change them?
Hmm, a pretty tough question!
There are quite a few, but admittedly most are ones that Nightfoot has listed before. He’s elaborated on so many points that I more or less agree with, but in particular:
Raven’s ‘death’. It felt very cheap and very rushed to make it seem like he died, only for him to pop back up right after they got out. I personally love Raven, and this moment still affected me, but I think at least playing into the idea of his death for a while longer would have made his sacrifice a lot more impactful to players.
Yuri’s hypocrisy with Judith. I don’t think this is talked about a lot, but I suppose it also plays into his flawed way of thinking as well. He is furious when Estelle begs him to kill her, because he doesn’t believe she deserves to die (even though her death would mean Alexei could be stopped, her power would stop harming Entelexeia, etc) - he doesn’t want to kill an innocent girl. However, when Judith runs away to protect Ba’ul, he threatens to kill her if she doesn’t tell the truth. Maybe I could be remembering this wrong, but it has ALWAYS sat wrong with me; so flippantly throwing out a threat to Judith because she acted suspiciously, but forgiving Raven (who kidnapped Estelle, caused countless problems for the group, and was overall heaps more shady than Judith ever was), refusing to kill Estelle even though it was seemingly the only way at the time to save her / solve the issue, it just doesn’t add up and it’s one of my biggest problems with the story.
Also another petty nitpick but all the time sensitive title quests.... really.... not story relevant but annoying
But, it also does hide very interesting canon material that you don’t learn unless you do the quests. big huff
I’d also keep Patty out of the game - might be controversial, but in full honesty I feel she really has nothing to add. Vesperia’s cast still stands today as my personal favorite of all the Tales games, and so adding Patty on honestly weakens the strength of the team. I really wish she was relevant to the plot and not just wedged in, but she is. ):
It Waits
It isn’t as often as it used to be, but it’s still there.
It waits, lingering beneath the surface, as if seeking out a moment of weakness. He could be sick, bone-tired after a guild job, freshly angry from an argument, or even just idly sitting during a rainy day, and it decides to take its chance.
Most often, it’s at night, when he can’t sleep, feeling blond hair tickling his collar bone as his gray eyes sit open, half-lidded, muted. Every mistake he may have made, every death that may have been caused from being ‘just a day’ too late, every consequence that has come from his actions.
I can imagine a very funny idea where everyone in the team, even Repede, is SO frustrated by Yuri and Flynn who are so in love with each other (so cute with each other too) and then so oblivious. And they share ideas or plans for change that while the boys aren't here. (Repede is the one who find the solution? Because he's their dog-son). Bonus if even Ioder and LeBlanc are so done because it's so obvious.
Repede being a wingman :thonk: very amusing content, would read
I personally am not a fan of the genre of outside forces butting into a budding romance, but I enjoy the idea of the others being exasperated that they’re interested in each other but don’t even realize it (’ah! good friend (: completely platonic’)
(We should find a nickname for Alt!Yuri XD) Do you think that it would work between Sam and him?
Romantically? I mean - yeah, maybe. Maybe Alt!Yuri (nightfoot had encouraged me to follow their pattern and call him Troy, to match Sam - so that’s his name!) was smitten with Flynn from childhood like the other way around, so it works out that way or something.
But then, I get into the idea of ‘well, he’s had a couple years now to get to know the Real Yuri’ and it sticks with me. Sam realizes he (platonically) really does love how much of a free spirit Yuri is. He admires his brash outlook on the world and his personality, so when a Yuri who is meek and polite and unwilling to take risks comes before him, he sees him as an entirely different person. This...isn’t Yuri. Sure, it’s the one he had dreamed of when he was still mad with revenge and took over the government, but he’s realized just how wrong this one is (not that he shouldn’t exist, but that he doesn’t feel like Yuri at all). I also believe that one of Troy’s lingering traits is being dense (alongside his stubbornness) and so as a kid, he hadn’t yet sunken into feelings for Flynn - and so when he’s met Sam and Flynn, he’s overjoyed to have his best friend back, not the love of his life.
However, I played around with this with Nightfoot and we both agreed that it felt a little cheap to toss Troy in and give Sam a backup Yuri since he didn’t get the first. Plus, personally, having Troy and Sam be a couple, with the fact that their names make me think of their voice actors, is a little weird for me xD
Ultimately, I do think that they’d work just fine as a couple, but it would take away from the growth Sam has had as a character in realizing he doesn’t need Yuri romantically. He has him as a friend, and that’s plenty for him.
I’m definitely not averse to Troy being absolutely flustered by Judith however with her beauty and immodest fashion sense, lmaooo
