I really appreciate how the Xenoblade community looked at the XC2 party photo in XC3 and decided that this is not Rex's harem, this is absolutely a polycule.

#i mean #with how clingy Nia was to Pyra in Tantal #and her comments about Mythra in the bathing scene #you cannot convince me that Nia isn't just as into the Aegises as she is into Rex #relationship between Pyra and Mythra is open to interpretation #either sisters dating the same two people or Pyra is an OC that Mythra manifested into reality and is totally into #xenoblade #xenoblade 2 #xenoblade 3 #xc2 spoilers #xc3 spoilers #xenoblade 2 spoilers #xenoblade 3 spoilers #mythra #pyra #nia xenoblade #rex xenoblade

As a continuation of this ask that I responded to, all the things I mentioned are just parts of the overall issue I have with Blades…. which is that, in the grand scheme of things, I feel like MC is simply a plot device for the other characters rather than a fully developed character who has a fully developed and satisfying arc herself. It’s clear that Nia’s is the story the writers really wanted to tell considering how intertwined her characterization/development and the overall world building are. They basically even admitted as much.

So my question is why not just make her the MC if that’s really what you wanted on the not so down low? They still could’ve incorporated the skill mechanic. Why create a whole player character just to have us running to solve everyone else’s problems/support them while acting like everything that happens to us exists inside of a vacuum in the meantime? So far, all we’ve really been doing in this book is reporting where the group needs to go, telling them what to do, having heart to hearts with them when they need help moving to the next stage of their development, and then being spoonfed information through the lore tablets, which are apparently more for the players’ benefit than MC’s since they barely affect how we respond in game anyway. I’m fine with being the leader or the glue that holds everyone together, but to me it’s unsatisfying that that’s all we are as the main character.

We somehow become more competent due to the skill mechanic but no less clueless at the same time. We have all this terrible shit happen to us, but are only offered a few lines’ description of how that’s affected us. And then the rest of the attention goes to setting up the light vs. shadow conflict and our friends, who get to have personal and compelling conflicts of their own. I mean I feel like MC is more of an emotional support animal to them than an actual person with dreams, feelings, and a (minimal) background. Imo the only character who’s getting shafted almost as much as us is Imtura.

And all of this might make it sound like I hate Blades, but it’s quite the contrary actually. It’s still one of my favorite series and has a lot of fun moments and lovable characters. But I think at this point, its flaws have become too large for me to ignore. So that’s still affecting my enjoyment a bit and probably the reason why I’m so upset with how certain things are being handled. Of course I’m aware that Blades isn’t the only book that has some of these issues though. I think it’s just a little more disappointing because I expected more

#choices bolas #choices blades #blades of light and shadow #choices stories you play #playchoices #and again it’s not lost on me that a lot of my opinion is probably colored by being on Mal’s romance route alone #from what I’ve seen of Tyril’s route he at least seems to care a bit more #he even shows concern for MCs who have a purely platonic relationship with him #I’m not sure about Nia and Imtura #but even still I feel like MC isn’t being given nearly enough from the writers regardless of who you’re romancing #also I’m still not sure I’ve really explained my thoughts clearly #I feel like I just typed a lot and then decided to post bc I don’t have the capacity to try to organize this any further #so it just never would’ve gotten posted if I waited for that 🤦🏽‍♀️ #but either way I hope it’s semi coherent and doesn’t just sound like a lot of whining and rambling 💀😭 #choices #choices app

ok i was just remembering back when a bunch of interactive fiction accounts were answering those orpheus/eurydice asks and i kind of want to write something related about blades characters SO for my fellow blades enjoyers: who do you think would turn & who wouldn't?

i'm going with all the og love interests for this (mal, nia, tyril, imtura, aerin). i'm pretty confident about certain ones, but less sure about mal & aerin, so lemme know what you think!

this might not impact what i write at all, and i might not end up writing anything, BUT i'm curious to know & this might help me confirm my thoughts as well :)

ALSO feel free to reblog with your reasoning/why if u want!!!

#i have my reasons for tyril & imtura but i don't think either of them would turn #and i think nia actually would/might #ok anyways plssss gimme ur thoughts on this i've just recently been getting into hadestown and this has been consuming my mind #blades of light and shadow choices #blades of light and shadow #bolas choices #bolas #mal volari #nia ellarious #aerin valleros #tyril starfury #imtura tal kaelen #ALSO I DONT WANNA START ANYTHING PLS DONT COME AT ME THIS IS JUST FOR FUN #im not including valax bc i feel like we dont know enough about her and she doesnt have enough of a relationship with the mc yet to be sure #like i cant get a read on that woman (elf??) #actually i feel like imtura might turn but in more of a 'omg we made it!' or 'almost there!' way where she doesnt realise mc isn't also out

[sylkhi]

Really appreciate the people who see Nia-Rex-Pyra-Mythra as a polycule and not simply “omg he has three wives :O”

#xc3 #rex xenoblade #nia xenoblade #Pyra #Mythra #there’s good reason to believe Nia has a romantic relationship with Pyra and Mythra #anyway #the implicit is up to interpretation

[darkfictionjude]

It’s always the childhood romance option you can have with Nia that hits me hard bc they could’ve have something very early on if they could just get a grasp of what feeling they have with each other but at the same time I know that shit would’ve probably went to flames when they were younger they need that character development first to understand each other and what they need

Oh nonnie I like this message. Yeah there’s a lot of what ifs but truly as the author I can say you’re right, yes they have wasted away years that they could’ve been together but they wouldn’t have worked out. They have never been able to really have good communication and Nia maintains everyone at arms length.

Same when people ask me why didn’t Imre ever try to do this or that with mc and it’s like he had no incentive to, there was nothing bigger pushing him towards actually making an effort and being such a playboy he would’ve broken mc’s heart (not that he can’t now but at the expense of his own)

Spa Day for the Super Girl's

It was a rare and much-needed day off for the Supergirl team, and they had decided to indulge in a spa day at Kara's cozy apartment. The living room had been transformed into a makeshift spa, with soft music playing in the background, scented candles casting a warm glow, and an array of skincare products laid out.

Nia Nal, still in her robe, sat with Kara, Alex, Lena, and Kelly as they painted their nails and applied facials. Esme, the adorable daughter of Kelly and Alex, was contently playing with her toys nearby.

Nia couldn't help but smile as she looked at her friends. "You know, I'm so grateful for all of you. It's not just about being colleagues; you're like family to me."

Kara, her eyes sparkling with warmth, leaned over to give Nia a hug. "We feel the same way, Nia. You've become such an important part of our lives."

Alex chimed in, her face covered in a green mask. "Yeah, and we're all here to support each other, through thick and thin."

Lena, holding up a nail polish bottle, teased, "So, Nia, when are you going to pop the question to Brainy?"

Nia's cheeks turned a shade of pink as she chuckled. "Lena, you're relentless. We're still getting to know each other."

Kelly, her nails drying, added, "But you two are so cute together. It's obvious you care about each other deeply."

Nia sighed contentedly. "You're right. Brainy is not just a partner; he's my lover, my best friend. I've never met anyone like him. He's kind, patient, and so incredibly smart. And those moments when he lets his guard down and just smiles? It's like a ray of sunshine in my life."

Kara and Lena exchanged knowing glances, their eyes filled with their own unspoken feelings.

Lena playfully nudged Kara. "Speaking of which, when are you going to make a move, Supergirl?"

Kara blushed and stammered, "Wh-what do you mean?"

Lena smiled; her tone gentle. "Kara, we've been through so much together, and I want to be there for you, not just as friends but..."

Kara's heart fluttered, and she took Lena's hand, her voice soft. "Lena, I... I care about you so much. I just didn't want to push things too fast, given our history."

Lena nodded; her eyes filled with affection. "I understand, Kara. Let's take it one step at a time."

As Kara and Lena shared a meaningful gaze, the other women smiled, their hearts warmed by the connection that existed between them.

Nia, feeling a surge of happiness for her friends, couldn't help but gush once more about Brainy. "You know, one day, I'll figure out how to navigate the complexities of relationships, just like you all are doing. But for now, I'm just grateful to have Brainy in my life."

The spa day continued, filled with laughter, affection, and the promise of love and friendship that bound them all together. And in the cozy warmth of Kara's apartment, they knew that they were not just a team but a family, supporting each other through every challenge and joy that came their way.

As the day unfolded, the bonds between the friends and potential romances continued to deepen, leaving them all with a sense of contentment and the knowledge that they were never alone in their journeys of love and connection.

In the midst of their fun-filled spa day, the door suddenly swung open, and Brainy walked in, carrying bags of takeout food for everyone. He was taken aback by the sight of Nia, her face glowing from the spa treatments, and her hair pulled back in a messy bun.

"Brainy, you're just in time!" Nia exclaimed, a smile spreading across her face as she took the food from him.

He couldn't help but be mesmerized by her appearance. "You look... incredible."

Before anyone could react, Brainy leaned in and stole a quick, passionate kiss from Nia, leaving her breathless and the room filled with gasps and cheers.

Esme, their little observer, covered her eyes with her tiny hands, giggling uncontrollably.

Kara and Lena exchanged amused glances while Alex and Kelly burst into laughter. Lena couldn't resist teasing, "Well, it seems like Nia's spa day just got even better."

Brainy blushed, but he didn't let go of Nia's hand. "I couldn't resist, especially when she looks so... captivating."

The spa day continued, now with an added layer of playfulness and affection. And as the friends shared stories, laughter, and delicious food, they knew that love, in all its forms, was a beautiful and cherished part of their lives.

Mazy has a massive crush on Nia but can never confess due to her awkwardness stopping her. What she doesn't know is that Nia knows about Mazy's feelings and reciprocates them.
