Stupid Octopath AU where Cyrus has an Italian accent instead of his more British one
Can't believe I didn't put this here earlier, but this is something my writer's mind is working on again so hopefully I can put up the next part soon
(putting in all these tags so you know what fandoms are featured in it)
Blood.
Why was there so much blood?
Alfyn gripped the hilt of his axe tightly, staring down the man with the twin spears. The man he had made the mistake of healing.
The bandages on Miguel’s torso were bloodsoaked, Alfyn noticed. He had been straining himself too hard.
Alfyn tamped down the urge to rush to his side, offer his aid and heal him to the best of his ability.
He saw Miguel take a small step forward, and mirrored it. Then, like floodgates opening, they ran at each other, axe blade clashing against spear shaft. While Alfyn kept Miguel busy, Ophilia rushed towards Tim, kneeling beside him and murmuring a prayer. It wouldn’t be enough, it would only heal a portion of the boy’s hurts, and with her also casting spells on Miguel, she was bound to run out of energy.
Therion yelled something, but it sounded faint and far away. Too little too late, Alfyn turned around, and was met with a spearhead to the arm. He yelled in pain, and saw red as he saw Miguel turn to Therion, hefting his weapon while the thief was distracted- helping Ophilia lug Timothy out of the way of the battle.
He yelled in fury, kicking Miguel in the back. The man fell to his stomach, yelping in pain. Alfyn raised his axe, the commotion of the others strangely distant.
“Miguel. I made a mistake- healing you. I’m going to fix that.”
And with a flash of steel, he brough the blade down on the centre of Miguel's spine.
alfyn seeing Miguel’s wounds bleeding and instinctively wanting to help him…. ow my heart
and th. the last two lines???????? good gods.
Been thinking about the job swap au and wondering just how knowledgeable Alfyn is. Therion as a thief is a master of disguise and has a keen eye for item quality and value. All traits that apothecary Alfyn lacks. Does thief Alfyn have a better sense of value and stealth or- I guess I'm wondering a bit where his strengths are. Sorry if this is poorly worded.
I love himbo thief Alfyn.
Oh Thief!Alfyn is absolutely a himbo, but he's much like his canon counterpart in that he's an expert in his field and uh, not much else. He knows what's valuable, he knows the most likely places for stashes and hiding spots, he knows how to crack safes and sneak around undetected. Alfyn, in his thief training, also had the benefit of actual teachers in the Red Hoods. Life came at him fast, but he also found himself people who took him in and taught him what to look for. So he probably has more technical knowledge than Therion, but to say that he's at canon Therion's level of sheer mastery...eh, it's a bit apples and oranges, because they go about things so different.
His acting probably doesn't hold a candle to Therion's. It's nowhere near as bad as, say, Olberic's, but it's questionable enough that he'll avoid disguise work unless there's no other way in. As you implied, he he absolutely prefers to operate with stealth rather than deception, and that sorta wraps around to how he is as a person. He's got more of a Solid Snake kinda MO going on - get in unnoticed, sneak your way through, only resort to violence if there's no other way past.
Despite being a thief, he's a very honest person. He doesn't like lying, he wears his heart on his sleeve (or uh. lack thereof), and his issues with deception accidentally highlights that, in a way. Most of his falsehoods are lies of omission, and even that doesn't feel good to him. He's a straightforward guy, a hero to the people, and there's no reason to hide it, in his opinion.
This is a little rambly. My point is that he's more reliant on stealth than Therion, probably just as knowledgable, and still has a very strong moral code. All things imparted on him by the Red Hoods, and how he keeps them alive.
hikari is demiboy?? new headcanon just dropped
You want a guy who's sweet
A guy who's tough
A feminist who likes to pay for stuff
The kind of guy who gets along with your friends without being attracted to any of them
You want a good boy
A bad boy
A good bad boy
A half good half bad half boy
when you’re minding your own business in the Sundering Sea and you encounter this
THERION SWEEP LETS GOO
Very important question:
This Purple Boy Has White Hair And Trauma
strikes terror into the hearts of the highborn and wealthy
im not making that up look
His whole story is about learning to trust again after a near-fatal betrayal by the only person who ever had his back.
His final boss is his abuser. How many games are there where you get to fight the person who ruined your life
Fell off a cliff. Lived
And look at that stance. He is a fruit. specifically he is an apple
theres like...five official art pieces total where he doesnt have an apple. he loves apples
look at him have you ever seen anyone more purple in your LIFE
but like he is a fruit. he canonically crossdresses in the spinoff gacha. He looks at a dress and goes 'ooh that could be a good disguise'
you can fit so much gender in this bad boy
his waist is also SNATCHED
what's your waist so thin for. for other men to grab??
All this to say. Vote Therion in the Purple Boy contest. Hes purple. Hes a boy. He's a white hair and trauma gayboy thief. What else could u possibly want
This has been Therion Propaganda for @purpleboytournament thank u for ur time
I am watching my little sis play OT2 some more, and she just finished Osvald's chpt 4... and just... aaaaaaaaaaaa
The Golem! Before it uses Disintegrate! Uses an ability called Empty Tears! Which heals Osvald! I can't aaaaa!
this snapcube fandub moment reminded me of them and how their first conversations must have been like
not a proper "interest check", but just a small announcement!
Sometime later this year... I want to organize a project involving the fan artist community of Octopath Traveler!
It's going to be a big project, so I will need a lot of artists.
I don't want to go into full detail yet as I do not have things organized at all, but I just wanted to get this part out of the way.
I'm no veteran at hosting projects, but the idea I have is something I've wanted to do for years now, but I can't do it alone, so I need a lot of help. I know I can manage to host this idea, so long as us artists can come together!
All I will say for now is... It will involve all 180+ Travelers across the series.
I'll work hard to get the idea planned out properly. It's something as a community that I think would be great to have complete by the 6th Anniversary, so long as we have a lot of willing artists!
Thank you for reading!
Just writing this post makes me a little nervous, but it makes me excited too, I hope people are willing to help out!
