(Spoilers for… journey to dawn?? But ig you could come to the conclusion from Temenos chapter 3 crackridge and Ochette 1 if you pay enough attention- idk-)

(Hikari and Ochette are under a cherry blossom tree)

Ochette: Hey… Is it true that people make confessions under cherry blossom trees?

Hikari: (nods) the petals that fall from the trees set a nice mood, so some people find it fitting to confess under them…

(Ochette nervously looks to the side-)

Ochette: …

Ochette: Hikarin… I’d like to confess to you.

Hikari: ..wh-

Ochette: I think I accidentally killed Temenos’s friend Roi…

Hikari: w h a t -

For the "secrets" prompt, I did Giselle x Tanzy!

I think that they should have insane chemistry and tension, but... insurmountable secrets keep them apart 😔

my thoughts about Osvald Octopath Traveler 2, the guy of all time

his entire character is the most tragic and hysterical thing to me. what if there was a guy so autistic about math and magic he equations his way into harnessing the fundamental forces of the universe or whatever. also he's a dilf and loves his family.

oh yeah also his story starts with him MUZZLED and FALSELY IMPRISONED for the murder of his own wife and child. the first thing you do with this epitome of academia is MUG AND ROB A MAN, and its one of his MAIN MECHANICS as a characters

if you start the story with Throné the way i did you find him passed out in the bushes after he escapes by making a friend and then having that friend immediately SACRIFICE HIMSELF for him.

he only drinks black coffee and is pretentious about it canonically

SPOILER SHIT BELOW

i feel like the horrors he endures are so insanely next level compared to the average party member? like they have their problems (Hikari fights a full out war???) but there is a certain depth and horror embedded in "hey Osvald I framed you for the murder of your wife and child and got you sent to prison for it so I could steal your life's work and respected position as a professor. Also your daughter's still alive but I've brainwashed her to believe that I'm her father instead of you. Also your wife? Yeah I took her FUCKING SOUL AND PUT INTO THIS GOLEM THAT IVE COMMANDED TO KILL YOU. toodles i'm off to sacrifice your daughter to achieve forbidden power." that cannot be matched.

like i genuinely had to stop playing for a while and just put my switch down in complete shock as I realized what was happening. the writing in octopath 2 wasn't always great with all of the stories but oh my god when it hit it fucking HIT

he wears a rope as a belt, which at a certain point in his journey is something he could definitely fix, but i believe chooses not to

maybe he can't see it when he looks down because of his massive fucking naturals metal collar and chain. which he also chooses to keep on.

i utterly detest the stereotype of 'autistic and good at math/comparable things but struggles with emotions' that burdens so many characters esp because he has a full. wife and child and i would also hit that but like there's no way he was as emotionally closed off before the events of the story as he is when we encounter him so i choose to believe his regression in emotion maturity to how he considers the world and people around him is purely a trauma response and survival tactic in prison, hence how it is through meeting the party and traveling with them that he unravels his defenses and relearns how crucial love is to True Magic and he does it all for his family oh my god

what a nerd ass loser i love him

Ochette is actually the protagonist of an edgy Pokemon romhack. Picks her starter and the one she doesn't pick gets mad and tries to kill her. Captures Pokemon and straight up eats the ones she doesn't want to keep.

If we as a fandom collectively go into denial mode hard enough we can make this canon I believe in us

“Their Memories Live On”

Ngl I don’t do backgrounds often so I’m actually so proud of how this turned out

But anyway yeah I was looking through banters to look for a thing but then got compelled to draw this after seeing that one banter where Hikari offers Temenos some words of encouragement…

okay but I love this banter-
