Hello friend! I got thinking about Torna's crafting system again recently and was curious -- What kinda crafts would Aline, Avalon, and Ursula make? I could see Ursula making song sheets similar to Minoth's plays -- but what about you and Avalon? Do you have any ideas or have you not thought about it before? Do you have something else in mind for Ursula?

Ooh!! Thanks for this ask, friend!!

I feel like I've definitely made a post about this at some point in the past, but I can't quite find it right now. My main logic at the time, as I remember, was to let Team Aline provide some of the types of pouch items that are present in XC2 itself but not in TTGC - these types in full being art, board games, drinks, instruments, and textiles. From a gameplay perspective it might arguably make sense to pick the ones that don't have equivalents for the effects they provide, but that seems a bit limiting, so I'm disregarding actual gameplay benefits here.

With the list of missing types in mind, Ursula seems a perfect fit for making handmade instruments, since she mentions in her Heart-to-Heart that she can play a few! I do really like that song sheet idea, though - I can definitely imagine her coming up with little melodies to sing in her own time ^-^ She might feel a bit too shy to share them with the entire rest of the party all at once, though, admittedly. Maybe with Aline eventually, but it would take a long time for her to feel confident enough to sing in front of the others.

When it comes to the other two (i.e. me and Avalon).. I want to say that, originally, I said that Aline would make textiles? Considering she's from a small village, I can definitely imagine her weaving or sewing while she was there before it got razed and she met the party. Then, for Avalon.. making drinks comes to mind as something that might fit him, and that would technically go along well with the fact that every other team has a Blade who cooks (except that the other Blades all make food, specifically). However, I could also honestly see either one of us making art, too - maybe Aline's textile-making is a mix of traditional fabrics (that give textile effects) but also items of embroidery (that give art effects)? That could be sweet ^-^

I hope that all of this was alright as an answer, friend!! Thank you again for this ask - it was really fun to think about~

🌟for Fiora and Citri? Or maybe Egil and Citri?

Why not both?~

(source: this post by cloudymemes)

Send a 🌟 + name and I’ll talk about my self-insert’s bond to that character! - Alright, so:

Citri with Fiora: Citri and Fiora don't actually have an especially close bond, although they are both from Colony 9 so they have known each other for a long time. It's a bit of a rivalry stemming mainly from Fiora's side, since Citri is also close with Shulk and the others but shares more of Shulk's interest in technology and the sciences so she naturally probably ends up a slightly closer friend to him. I haven't quite established how Fiora's place in the story changes with Citri in the picture yet, since she does kind of take over most of Fiora's role later in the game, but one idea I had was for Fiora to still also get taken and turned into a Face pilot - she just pilots a different Faced Mechon that isn't Face Nemesis in my version of events. In that instance, we could bond more over being in the same situation and reflect on how it has affected us, though there would possibly still be some disparity over the whole "Citri had the soul of a goddess put into her body and is somehow inexplicably getting on really well with her" thing.

Citri with Egil: Citri initially shows great disdain for Egil, which is perhaps understandable considering that his attacks on the Bionis using the Mechon are the reason why there are so few Homs colonies remaining, and the reason why she was captured and taken away from her home. However, as things progress, she does come to understand his reasoning more after spending time on the Mechonis and hearing Vanea talk more about him and how he used to be. She definitely respects the fact he is willing to agree to a truce with Shulk at the Mechonis Core, and understands that he was essentially lashing out to protect himself/his people and the Mechonis as a whole, rather than being an aggressor. In an AU situation where he was able to stay alive, I think we would eventually end up fairly amicable (all things considered), especially since - with Citri being Vanea's partner and Egil being Vanea's sister - we would probably interact quite a lot, initially through both being so linked to Vanea but then eventually more of our own accord. I definitely do quite like Egil as a character myself, so I'd like to have at least some form of a bond with him somehow~

I hope that both of those answers were alright! Thank you very much again for sending in the questions, and I hope you are having a great day ^-^

Of course, B! Thank you very much for this - I hope you've been alright recently!!

(source: this post by sakizremade)

send me a 🍓 and i'll compliment u! - I know that it isn't really your most recent focus, but I really liked seeing your different Xenoblade Chronicles AUs and fics and stuff!! Seeing you talk about the characters and other things you're passionate about is really nice. Also, you are generally a very kind person - I always really appreciate the compliments that you yourself give, as they mean a lot!

I hope that this was okay!! Thank you very much once again for sending the strawberry in~

I’m really enamored with the dynamic of two characters who work perfectly in tandem, like pacific rim drift compatible level, but they don’t like each other. It’s not even as strong an emotion as hate it’s just a very neutral-negative dislike, but they still act in perfect concert and their individual abilities are fully complementary

-Recording begins-

Spider-Man: Hi folks! I’d like to give a PSA to my usual villains, and anyone else with ideas for the next two months.

Spider-Man: *holds up a brick sized lump of metal* See this? It’s titanium!

Spider-Man: *starts flattening it out and shaping it*

Spider-Man: See, we all know that I’m crazy strong, but I never wanna really hurt anybody right? Right. While that hasn’t changed, something very important does right around this time of year.

Spider-Man: *pulls off a glove and pulls a chunk into a long stem with his nails carving lines for added texture*

Spider-Man: See, this is what we like to call exam season. Anybody who knows anything about college can tell you that it drives people up the wall, and I already climb mine when I’m antsy.

Spider-Man: *starts winding the thin sheet around the stem, delicately crimping petals in place*

Spider-Man: I do wanna be clear that this isn’t a threat, okay? I’m still not interested in crossing the line, which brings me to my point.

Spider-Man: *throws the titanium rose at the brick wall behind him, stem first, and embeds it all the way through*

Spider-Man: /That/ was restrained because I could focus enough to have full control. If I’m extremely tired or otherwise distracted, there’s just as much risk of me slipping up as someone operating heavy machinery. I’m probably not going to remember what sleep is for two whole months, so remember!

Spider-Man: *pulls out a brick and snaps it like a cookie*

Peter fucking Parker: Don’t.

So I've been meaning to ask... Luna... I've seen some stuff you've posted and reblogged in the past. Is she canoncially trans? :0 if so that is so cool

Yes, she is!! It didn’t get revealed until the game was completed and the postgame came out, but yes, she is~

Pokémon Reborn actually has multiple trans characters, not just Luna - for example there’s in-game Ame (since Ame herself, the person who created the game, is trans), as well as Shade (the Ghost-type Gym Leader, who literally says he didn’t mind sacrificing his body to save the world because it meant no more dysphoria now he’s a cool spooky shadow). There’s also Ace and Adrienn, as well as the player if you so choose, who are examples of canon nonbinary characters in the game too.

Many game characters are also canonically not straight, like Amaria, Titania, Ciel, Terra, Cain, and Cal - and those are just the ones who first come to mind! And that doesn’t even count headcanons (like Saphira being bi, which I don’t think is ever explicitly confirmed, but come on her hair is literally the bi pride flag)!

Thanks for sending this ask, friend! I hope you’re doing well~

#a call from the void #heart of the void #love: dark dreamer (luna) #I like to think that since my self-insert is quite feminine and so is Luna we get to do a lot of nice stuff together #like.. I don’t know.. doing her hair or her nails and sharing clothes and accessories and stuff #“typical girl stuff’’ you know? not that any of that’s girl-only of course but like. stuff she may not have done much before she ran away #selfshipping #selfship: void‑kissed (luna/adriana) #for those tags #I mentioned a load of others but I don’t know if it warrants their tags #of a city reborn (pokémon reborn) #that one will do #out of the inbox #selfship asks #sort of #B tag! #luna isn’t my only trans F/O either! clio is canonically trans too #and when considering non-romantic ones: story and cameron (selwyn’s OCs) are both canonically trans too #and again none of that takes headcanons into consideration

 🌈 for Vanea and Pyra? :o

Sure thing, B! Thank you very much for sending this, I hope you’re doing alright!~

(source: this post by bewearships)

send me a 🌈 + one of my F/Os for my sexuality/gender headcanons for them! - So, for Vanea, I headcanon her as panromantic and asexual (though I don’t have any particular thoughts about her gender, I wouldn’t be surprised if Machina in general have a different structure regarding all that anyway); as for Pyra, I headcanon her to be a lesbian demigirl!

I hope those are okay! Thank you very much for sending this ask in! ^-^
