Judith! (1, 4, 6, 10, 11, 20, 18) aaaaand.... Flynn (2, 4, 8, 9, 21, 22, 28)

Alright! Thanks for asking!

Judith first.

My first impression of them: Ok, so. I honestly don't remember. I played Vesperia for the first time 14 years ago and I do not remember first meeting her. I'm going to guess it was... "Cool!" Although given how early I started shipping Yuri/Judy, it may have been, "Wow... she should kiss Yuri." Although, I suppose the actual first impression of her was probably, "Who's that dude on the dragon? This guy is cool." Followed by, "Oh, she's hot!"

4. How many people I ship them with: I think... 3. No, 4. I multiship like crazy and after so many years in this fandom I've at least enjoyed considering a huge array of ships. But mostly I ship her with Yuri as my number one preference. And then if not that, Estelle is also good. And Judith/Flynn is also very fun, and I've enjoyed thinking about Judith/Rita too. Also one time I wrote a three-sentence fic about Judith/Kaufman and you know? That's kinda fun to think about.

6. My least favorite ship of them: Obviously there is a whole range of very niche ships that are incredibly squick, but probably my least favourite partner of semi-common Judith ships is Raven.

10. Describe the character in one sentence. A quiet women who is actually quite intense and passionate but keeps all that shit tightly bottled up

11. What’s the first thing you think about when thinking about the character? Just a sort of :) vibe. Cool. Chill. Will beat you to death. An unflappable surface layer that you've got to then dig into to get to the juicy stuff.

20. A weird headcanon: She doesn't really "talk" to Ba'ul, it's more a sharing of emotions, ideas, and images without language. And spending so many years only communicating with him in this manner is why she comes off a bit strange talking to other people.

18. How do you think they were as a kid? (Like, were they shy, noisy, wild, etc) I think she was very curious. Her father was an academic, so she probably got some of that craving for knowledge from him. Probably a bit of a loner, off exploring nature and examining bugs and climbing trees.

And now Flynn!

2. When I think I truly started to like them (or dislike them, if you've sent me a character I don't like) As with Judith, I first played this game so long ago that I don't remember exactly. I know I already expected to like him before we even met him just from the way they talked about him. He sounded like my type. The way he enters the story crashing in to save Yuri's ass, then telling him off, bantering a bit and then immediately getting glomped by Estelle probably sold him to me.

4. How many people I ship them with: Since I tend to fall under the multishipping strategy of "my fave + everyone else," uhhh a lot. So in rough order of prominence.... Estelle is my Vesperia OTP. Yuri can be cool too. As mentioned above, Judith is also fun to explore. I tend to like his relationship with Raven as more of a friendship/mentor thing, but a ship can be interesting to think about too. I've thought about how to make it work with Sodia, too, because she needs to do a lot of growth and their relationship would have to evolve and it would be interesting to develop that. Flynn/Alexei is also one of my favourite angst ships. So that's 6 people so far!

8. Your favorite outfit of them. I like the casual hot spring outfit where he's just wearing shorts and a t-shirt. He's so uptight all the time, it's nice to see him relax and dress casually for once.

9. Your least favorite outfit of them. Ok... possibly my most unpopular Flynn opinion but. This one.

It just. Does not do it for me. The fur? The monocle? Looks like Playboy Bunny fucked Mr. Peanut and I do not care for this at all.

21. When do you think they were at their happiest?

Flynn has been under a lot of stress for a long time, and once the game ends he will continue to be under a lot of new stress as they have to start dealing with the ramifications of what they've done. But right now? This moment? This is the calm between two storms and he's so at peace, everything is working out. The Adephagos is defeated, his friendship with Yuri is solid once again, Yuri is thriving and Flynn is so happy for him and also proud of him, he's no longer worrying about Estelle or the succession or an imminent war with the guilds, the Knights are in his hands and on the right track.... Tonight, everything is perfect, and he can worry about what comes next in the morning.

22. When do you think they were at their lowest?

The confrontation with Alexei at Yormgen. The last time he saw Yuri, things were at a breaking point between them. There was the disaster with Belius, he's close to losing his best friend, and he's pushing himself to the limit to follow Alexei's orders with the belief it's for the greater good even if it doesn't sit right with him. Then suddenly he pulls up at Yormgen to realize that everything he's done was not only pointless, but also actively harmful. He's been played this whole time, one of his closest friends has been abducted by a man he thought he could trust, Yuri is rightfully furious with him, and what the hell is he supposed to do now?

28. The most unnecessary thing they ever did? Well... I just talked above about how everything he did for Alexei was unnecessary. But you know what else? This.

What's with the wet suit, Flynn? Unnecessary. Go tits out like everyone else.
