[ PLEASE TALK ABOUT YURI'S AND FLYNN'S FRIENDSHIP TO ME. They mean A LOT to me and I'd honestly love to hear you blabber on about them. ]

OH MY GOD NOW LOOKY HERE, YOU

fine

Where do I even begin? Okay, okay. Let’s start with the crazy notion that some fans think Flynn and Yuri’s relationship is toxic. You can read my rambling about that here.

And this lovely thing a tumblr user did to quote me when I described Flynn.

these tags, too:

#yuri lowell #flynn scifo #tales of vesperia #this is what happens when i’m thinking about the brotp. #i know it’s not always about the two of them; yeah yuri doesn’t make decisions based on flynn all the time and yuri’s not the only reason #why flynn is working so hard #their worlds don’t revolve around just the two of them but sometimes i like to think #that when they are forced to reflect on some of their decisions it’s inevitable that a few of their choices reflect largely on each other #at the back of his mind yuri kills ragou and cumore because it’s something that he thought had to be done #and there’s a part of him that thinks ‘i know flynn would like to handle the situation by using the right means; but there’s just #nothing he can do and it’s tearing him apart inside’ #so he brings it upon himself to do the dirty work for him. yes it troubled flynn but at least that problem’s out of the way. #but once flynn realizes that yuri’s willing to make these decisions he resolves to work even harder #so that yuri won’t be forced into the same kind of situation ever again #and tbh i think it’s beautiful #but if you guys think this is just a delusion on my part; then feel free to tell me and i will re-evaluate my feelings on the matter #wow i rambled quite a bit in the tags i’m so sorry

AND LET ME JUST TALK ABOUT HOW THEY GREW UP TOGETHER

about how the fact that yuri learned to cook so flynn wouldn’t have to.

i mean, let’s be real. yuri didn’t have to do that. yuri could just learn how to cook so he himself could eat a decent meal. But no, saying that he “learned how to cook so flynn wouldn’t have to” meant that it meant yuri was going to cook for flynn too. like you would for your family. they grew up pretty much like brothers, referenced by ted in the lower quarter who said “Yuri and Flynn shared everything.”

They made do with one wooden sword and took turns using it, and you can bet your polished butt that they shared a whole lot of other things too. Probably got into trouble a lot (with yuri as the instigator) and got punished together a lot, as well.

But they grew up to be so important to each other that it was hard to imagine a life without the other. Despite Yuri’s bravado, it’s quite obvious to me that he has an inferiority complex when it comes to Flynn, who’s always telling Yuri to catch up. And that’s just it–Yuri’s frustrated because it’s easier said than done. Flynn has moved forward in ways that Yuri hasn’t, while Yuri stays in the lower quarter dealing with small problems (even though the reality is that he’s not changing anything, and just going around in circles.)

But that slowly changes after he met Estelle and set out into the world.

When he saw the ocean for the first time, his first thought was, “So this is how he sees the world.” The world is huge and Flynn purposely left a note telling Yuri to catch up, in a place where Yuri will have a full view of the ocean. Because he wants Yuri to go out and see the world, and maybe find himself in the process. It is Flynn who believes in Yuri the most and it is Flynn who thinks Yuri has vast potential within him, and he can’t utilize that potential while bumming around in the lower quarter all the time.

Eventually, with Yuri’s new-found strength, he can truly stand as Flynn’s equal.

WHY DON’T WE ALSO TALK ABOUT HOW YURI BRUSHES OFF HIS OWN ACHIEVEMENTS BY LETTING FLYNN TAKE THE CREDIT, WHILE FLYNN HIMSELF INSISTS ON YURI TAKING IT???

Because WHAT A SWEETHEART THIS FLYNN PERSON IS, FOR WANTING EVERYONE TO RECOGNIZE WHAT A GREAT GUY YURI ACTUALLY IS. LOOK AT MY BEST FRIEND. HE’S MORE THAN JUST A CRIMINAL. HE’S THE MOST SOFT-HEARTED, GENEROUS, BUT ALSO OVERBEARING PERSON I KNOW YES I’M SORRY ABOUT THAT I TRIED TO LIVE WITH IT THAT PART CAN’T BE CHANGED

and yuri being willing to dirty his hands so that flynn wouldn’t have to… just… hurts… my heart…. soooo….. sooooooooooooooooooooo much.

I’M SO SORRY LET ME JUST DIE

Slowly getting to those sketches

Repede for @considerate-sidekick

[steadfastxvigilante]

[ -BARKS- WHAT ABOUT OUR FRIENDSHIP? TALK ABOUT IT PLEASE. ]

okay so i dunno if you guys know this but I also have a Repede muse. He’s not that active anymore, but he’s always subtly there whenever I roleplay Yuri. As because of this, I’ve had to analyze the importance of this partnership numerous times.

Yuri Lowell roleplayers will understand that you just can’t do without Repede. In my threads, he’s always there. If he’s not there, my Yuri feels a bit incomplete. It’s different when Repede’s just out on a walk, but when he’s actually missing, and they have no means of finding each other, it’s like you just took away a part of Yuri.

Yuri and Repede’s story is rather vague. I’m not sure if First Strike is canon, because several fans have complained about its inconsistencies with the game, so I might avoid talking about that prequel until I hear it from word of god.

But in-game, there have been skits regarding Repede, specifically about how he got his scar, and how Yuri and Flynn took care of him all night. And the references to his pipe belonging to his old owner. (if it truly were Niren’s then i’m gonna cry) But even without the skits, it’s a fact that Repede has been a huge pillar of support for Yuri for a while now, during his toughest times, and it’s the reason why Yuri’s fine with being “alone,” because he’s not really alone in the first place.

Without Repede there, Yuri would have been messed up after killing Ragou.

Without Repede there, Yuri would have continued to be dumb and went off to get Estelle on his own. Heck, by himself, he’d even come up with the notion that he’d have to kill Estelle and didn’t want others to see that, so he left on his own, but Repede knew what Yuri needed, and Yuri needed his friends.

In a sense, Repede is somewhat like a guardian angel to Yuri. He’s always right beside him, quietly watching over him, and just his presence makes Yuri feel secure like no other. Hell, perhaps even more secure than what he feels around Estelle… or even Flynn.

They have a bond that transcends language barriers. People have often thought that Yuri knew what Repede was saying word per word, and even Yuri himself is a bit vague about that, but to me it feels like he doesn’t get Repede’s words per say, but they understand enough of each other without the need for silly little things like words. Hah, words are overrated. Feeling’s where it’s at.

Try to imagine a Yuri without Repede.

…

……..

…..

You can’t?

…

WELL OF COURSE YOU CAN’T. IT’S ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE TO IMAGINE YURI WITHOUT REPEDE WHAT WERE YOU THINKING

[grandshepherd]

"Repede! Repede!" He races after the dog, trying his best to catch his attention as he runs to the other at full speed, soon skidding to a stop infront of him, waving his arms excitedly.

"I did it! I got my element! Wanna see?"

@considerate-sidekick // Just hang in there... 

It hadn’t been long since he left the knights. He hadn’t been long since he quit on the standing grounds that they were a nothing more than tin dolls being used by a soulless country in order to bleed their people dry. 

‘Protect and serve’ 

What a joke. The Empire wanted no such thing for their people. That’s why he was still living in this trash dump of the capital known as ‘The Lower Quarter’.  The Empire giving a damn? Well that was only good for a laugh. 

He’d always lived here; here in the lower quarter of the capital but yet somehow it seemed different. Different with the way the people held themselves. Different with the way the people talked. Different with the way that they all... survived. 

He never understood it before. He was too young before.  All he cared about when he was a child was where his next meal was going to come from but now - now he could see it in their eyes. He could see the struggles, he could see the depression.  The Empire had left them broken and he would be lying if he didn’t say it pissed him off. 

It was time to work. Time to roll out of the single bed he’d been provided by the Inn keep that lived just below him. Couldn’t have him livin’ on the streets, she said. Couldn’t have him going without a place to get out of the rain when she could give him a roof over his head. She’d insisted and he couldn’t refuse. He had another life to look after now; a small pup that had stayed with him even after he left the Imperial Knights behind. 

And how he grew. It’d only been a year and the beast had gone from a droplet of fur to a full grown wolf. It was, it was hard to look at him sometimes - as he’d find himself remembering Lambert and that fateful night. He - he owed it to him to stay by his side. 

A quick jog down the stairs that lead to his home, up the ramp that lead past the plaza and they were quickly pulled to the side by one of the women by the fountain. 

“Yuri! Yuri dear. Can you and Repede go fetch some watch from the river? We need to work on washing clothing for the week and it would be lovely if you could bring some back for us.” She smiled, to which he only slumped his shoulders for a moment and sigh. 

“Not a problem, we’re on it.” He sounded, gathering up a few pots and heading in that direction.

just because the fandom says something doesn't mean that you need to agree with it. your headcanons are important and people should respect them, regardless of the fandom's opinions of it. ♥

@considerate-sidekick replied to your post “In the spirit of coming out day, just a quick hc for Sorey. I’ve...”

I wish I had the link on me, but I thought it might be important to mention. The creator of Gravity Falls once said that Dipper and Mabel have no religion, but that is his own headcanon. Anyone else is free to headcanon what they see the characters as. There is no right way to headcanon a character. You're free to make your own choice.

Thanks guys! I love how chill and accepting the roleplaying community is! I love seeing all kinds of headcanons and a variety that makes every portrayal unique and I love it. They’re all valid and everyone here is so respectful of each other.

I just get nervous because I have seen some of the zestiria fandom outside of this community and it can get pretty nasty. I’m so uncomfortable with a lot of the hate generated because of people’s shipping preferences, or even lack of. I’ve had very bad personal experience with another fandom before.

I love all you guys so much. I’m glad I feel safe with the people I write with now.

[ HEART SYMBOL WITH MIKLEO ]

Send 💕 and my muse will use The Love Calculator to see how compatible they are.

    .... there’s been a mistake.

[flynnsfaithfulsodia]

Sodia was a strange one. She may not get along with his partner, but he can see that she was not all that bad either. Repede's carrying a small cloth bag. It's not tied, unfortunately. He would if he could, but he leaves the tiny bag behind for Sodia to find. Instead is one of the many treasures he has the habit of hoarding. It's a clear dragon's scale. Which shimmers in the light.

“For me?” Sodia knelt down to open the bag, light catching on the dragon scale. Gingerly picking it up, she admired how intact it was and the way the light shined through the translucent material. Some noble ladies would ask for flowers or expensive jewelry, but this suited Sodia just fine. “Thank you very much, Repede. It’s beautiful.”

She tucked it away carefully, not wanting to scratch or chip it.

OKAY ONE MORE BEFORE I HEAD OFF. BUT SHOUT OUT TO ALTOSK, THE OLD MAN. FOR BEING THE BEST PERSON TO FIGHT WITH AND PUTTING UP WITH MY AGGRESSIVE SHENANIGANS.

@altosk    Oh yes, absolutely! I adore Altosk- they’re such a fun Raven, and a delightful writer! :D

considerate-sidekick replied to your post:((Raven comparing Yuri to the Don is...

You gave me some feels (among others) when Raven compared him to the Don. Yuri respects the guy so much, but feels awkward when people outright compare him to the Don.

((I just.... m a n when Yuri gave him that speech after the schwann fight and it made him think of Whitehorse????? I think that’s when it really hit him hard that Yuri was made of the same stuff as that guy. Even though the Don died, Raven isn’t like....purposeless. He needed that blunt verbal kick to the face that he thought only whitehorse could deliver but then DING DONG YURI LOWELL IS A THING, STOP MOPING YOU OLD FUCK
