well, I've said multiple times how it seems so one-sided from a Freud <- Lumi point of view, right. so as for Freud, maybe he was drawn to Lumi kinda the same way you would observe a specimen on a glass slide. That is to say, maybe he noticed something was a little strange about Lumi - the part of him that is not fully human. So he wanted to figure out what that strange feeling was.
But that's not to say that Freud is a cold person. In my mind, he is calculating, but it's never out of malice. It's like always trying to find the optimal solution - to make this world better.
I don't know if this interpretation of Freud makes sense or not. I should have paid more attention to fanworks with him before... the problem was..............
i keep editing WM's face because I'm not satisfied with it... he has to be the most beautiful person in the world, right? ah, can a mii even begin to capture his beauty.... (my skills are merely lacking)
ah.. no... that's kind of scary coming from WM...
oh, im sure it does. lol
no... no i don't think that's a good idea at all..........
lumi got a crush insanely fast. i think i only made them interact like a couple of times. im not complaining
after that, lumi was being incredibly pathetic about his crush. but i neglected the game for a while so freud dropped to simply 'friends' with lumi. lumi, you're gonna be crushing forever at this rate.
girl!!! be realistic!!!!
i love how miis just lay on the ground. creature behaviour
time for 100% headcanon/delusional talk about frumi
I was trying to tie together one of my stories in the shower, and then I had a realization.
In the first place, I already have a hard time writing frumi because to me it seems that... Freud always has something more important going on (eg: saving the world). All the Heroes have positive feelings for Freud. Why would Freud pick Luminous of all people....
I really believe that Freud is good at getting along with people, and also genuinely likes most everyone. It's only if you're truly evil with no conscience that he would dislike someone...
Eunwol: Freud probably has a soft spot for Eunwol. He picked him off the street (?), gave him a name, that sort of thing. And obviously, Eunwol follows Freud like a puppy... at least, that's the vibe he gives.
Mercedes: Freud gets along well with her. And even putting personal feelings aside, it's in his best interest to get along well with a queen!
Aran: I think they had a good amount of mutual respect for each other...
Phantom: they seem to get along well. Freud was able to convince Phantom to change his tune and join the Heroes so...
Luminous: they are both the scholarly type, but often have opposing opinions and beliefs... they still get along, but somehow I feel like....
out of everyone, Freud seems most likely to use Luminous and Luminous would accept that. As for the others, 1) he would be less likely to use them, 2) they would be less likely to accept that kind of treatment from him. (Eunwol: he'd do anything Freud asked him, but Freud wouldn't use him like that in the first place)
by "use", I mean to, yknow, further his goals like world peace and stuff like that. and I say "most likely to use" but Freud himself also has a self-sacrificing component
anyways, as I prefaced, this is my headcanon.
but it was a horrifying (?) realization i had about my otp. lol
Reading The Last Adventurer, there's a lot of points I want to criticize, but it also brings up a few points which are interesting. So I will steal the ideas that I like and ignore the things I don't. Here is my semi-TLA AU (based on the webtoon - I didn't read the webnovel)...
(post lacks structure)
I didn't read the last chapter yet, so I will probably have something to say later.
First of all, the basis of this is the similarity between Luminous and the White Mage's outfits. As we all know, obviously they both come from Aurora so their outfits have to resemble each other a bit. But in reality, WM looks like a bishop and Lumi looks like a battle mage. Anyways, in TLA they're really crazily similar.
For Luminous, his design is mainly based on his Heroes of Maple outfit, but also adds in the hood from like, launch concept. BUT they also throw in a stole. Obviously, this stole is reminiscent of WM. Also, in TLA, both of Luminous' eyes remain blue because he didn't force the Black Mage into the seal (in fact, they chose a different sealing method...).
For WM (technically it is always BM, using the form of WM), his design is pretty much the same as in the game. The biggest change is that they gave him a hood. This makes his outfit similar to Lumi...
When you put these changes together, what it looks like is that both of their outfits become very similar. But why? TLA's focus is on the original characters, so I would never expect them to go into great detail about Luminous' personal story. Is it to visually tie the two together so they don't have to talk about them as much?
BM's objective in TLA is slightly different - rather than necessarily raising an Adversary to kill him, he plans on raising a new Transcendent of Light (with the power of Creation, not Destruction) so he can use the power for his Genesis. In TLA, this Transcendent is the protagonist, Elpam. But I'm going to ignore all the original characters.
BM in TLA is pretty cocky. He laid out his plans to Elpam plain and straight (I think this part is webtoon exclusive) - whereas in the game, he had to do all sorts of convoluted backflips to act under the Overseers' eyes (which is also kind BS but I digress). Anyways, at least the game BM had one thing right - keeping the plan a secret is a benefit because many of the Commanders would not support it. You can see this quickly becomes an issue for Arkarium in TLA.
---
Now, to the AU...
What I was thinking was: an AU that is more similar to the Maplestory game rather than TLA. The Heroes chose a different method of sealing BM which did not sacrifice anyone - and they were failed the same way they did in TLA... but none of that "circle" mumbo jumbo or the artifact thing or whatever.
Because BM is not concerned about raising an Adversary, he had no reason to play around with Aurora... Because of the stole that Lumi wears, I wonder if they made Lumi the next Master of Aurora. That implies a few things:
Either they never took in a substitute Star Child (Lucia), or Lucia failed to surpass Lumi (I don't think the 2nd one is fair to her). Let's suppose the first option.
They became complacent enough that they let Luminous take the spotlight (because BM never attacked them)
In fact, I think Aurora would have normally loved to have Luminous as the Master (because they are die-hard WM fanatics) but their paranoia won out over that (in the game)
All the while, Lumi is blissfully unaware of his predecessor or origins.
Furthermore, Lumi didn't get infected by darkness in the main story of TLA. So there is nothing disqualifying him from becoming a Transcendent of Light... What I mean to say is... in this AU, Luminous becomes the Transcendent of Light (with powers of Creation) after he unfreezes from the curse.
Lumi would serve his duty as a Transcendent to try to bring balance to the world...
But there has to be a point where BM reveals his plan to Lumi. As well, drops the bomb that is that Lumi was born from his discarded light... I want to see the look of despair on his face..... (impure motives)
Hm... that's pretty much it, just some setting ideas. Or an excuse to put my favourite things together (Transcendent Lumi + BM&Lumi interaction). That's the reason I wrote it out here - I'm not sure where I can take it, and also I have too many other WIPs.
But if the whole idea is to raise a new Transcendent of Light, who better than BM's own discarded light...? It works better thematically...
