Ooh la la! It's another Trials of Mana/Seiken Densetsu 3 fic written by me, this time with Duran/Angela and Hawkeye/Riesz elements. Really going crazy here, aren't I? Golly. Nobody kisses in this story, though.

It's a humorous story where Angela prepares for a little private party with Duran. I don't want to say too much about it, but Kevin is in it. People like Kevin, I think. And Karl. Charlotte appears too, in aww of hew gwowy. Oh, and Hawkeye and Riesz of course...

Thank you. If you decide to read it, I hope you enjoy it! 😁

Happy Halloween!

For the ask meme: Hawkeye/Riesz!

What made you ship it? I didn't think much on shipping my first run of the game due to playing an all-girls' run, but when I replayed it on the Collection of Mana I kept the partner duos together so I had more context. And trying all the different party combos solidified it (them together and with one of them in the party and one out)! Riesz is clearly taken with him, shown at the end of the Laurent arc where she questions if Jessica (his adoptive sister and the person he's trying to save) is his girlfriend or not, or if you don't have Riesz in the party and she gets flustered and runs off. Hawkeye also seems sad about her leaving (Remake did an awesome job with the body language in that scene). And, of course, the kiss he gives her when she vows to not put her revenge over Jessica's life (he apologizes for getting caught up in the moment, but the way she responds is just adorable). There's also the way their personalities both clash and work well together. A princess and a thief. Formal and informal. Not good with strangers in an informal setting and friendly and personable. But deep down, both have strong senses of justice even if they go about it in different ways). Family and camaraderie is important for them as well, and they're the characters most able to put their personal feelings aside for what's important, even if they slip at that in anger once or twice. And while parallels exist between the characters in each story (which is partly why I ship all three sets), I do love how both of their stories focuses on having to push through after losing someone important in order to save their homelands and an important family member.

What are your favorite things about the ship? The aforementioned part about their personalities and how they work off each other. I also just adore how sweet I see Hawkeye being when they do get together! He's always been a bit of a ladies' man, not helped by now living among a bunch of hot Amazons. So to keep himself in check, he just goes hard at showering his wife with love and I can't stop thinking of adorable stunts he could pull. All while Alma, Elliot, and Liza have to explain to clueless new recruits not to mind anything Her Majesty's husband is up to!

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship? None really.

The Ending of Trials of Mana Reaction

I won't spoil this video but this was a fun game and made me excited for Visions of Mana.

I really love Haccan's designs and the fantasy stylings of all the characters. They're very colorful and helps the cast stand out against the environment. Its such a good choice!

Let's get ready for Visions of Mana coming at the end of the month!

Visions of Mana class system

A lot of information about Vision of Mana's class system has been released on the Japanese website (see source).

Val's classes: [No element:] Soul Guard (moribito). [Wind:] Rune Knight. [Moon:] Aegis. [Water:] Duelist. [Fire:] Liege (Lord). [Wood:] Edelfrei (Swordmaster).

Val's classes are very "knight" archetype, mostly based on Duran's classes (Duelist, Liege, and Edelfrei) with a bit of Riesz (Rune Knight) and some that are new although still in line with the knight theme (Aegis).

Careena's classes: [No element:] Oracle (kannagi). [Wind:] Dancer (maihime). [Moon:] Moon-reader(?) (tsukiyomi). [Water:] Dragon Master. [Fire:] Divine Fist (Godhand). [Wood:] Exorcist(?) (onmyouji).

Most of Careena's classes are new ones based around a kind of priestess or shaman sort of vibe (Oracle, Dancer, Tsukiyomi - not sure what the localized name for this will be but I wonder if it will be something like Fortune Teller - and Onmyouji). But some of her classes reference Riesz (Dragon Master) and Kevin (Divine Fist - this outfit is BOMB by the way).

Morley's classes: [No element:] Ranger. [Wind:] Nomad (Wanderer). [Moon:] Nightblade. [Water:] Hermit. [Fire:] Rogue. [Wood:] Samurai.

Morley's classes are entirely based on Hawkeye's classes (Ranger, Nomad, Nightblade, Rogue), with some new additions along that same thief/rogue/vagrant vein (Hermit, Samurai - I wonder if this one will be localized as Ronin or something to fit the theme).

Palamena's classes: [No element:] Queen. [Wind:] Rune Seer (Rune Master). [Moon:] Empress. [Water:] Grand Diviner. [Fire:] Masquer (Masquerade). [Wood:] Beastleader (Beast Tamer).

Palamena seems to have a mix of royalty-themed classes (Queen, Empress), Angela's classes (Rune Seer, Grand Diviner), and some new additions that seem quite quirky (Masquer, Beastleader). I'm a fan of the pirate-themed Masquer costume and the blue Grand Diviner costume (makes me think of Angela's pixel art).

Julei's classes: [No element:] Custodian (Watcher). [Wind:] Hamelin. [Moon:] Warlock. [Water:] Scholar. [Fire:] Gatekeeper. [Wood:] Sage.

Julei is the squishiest mage ever the party healer, so his classes are very much based on Charlotte's (Warlock, Sage; Scholar is not a Charlotte class but is kinda in line with that theme). He also seems to have a sentry theme as well (Custodian, Gatekeeper), and I'm not sure what is going on with the Hamelin class; maybe it will have some musical/musical instrument elements to it given that horn on his hip?

Overall, it looks like we have four of Trials of Mana's six classes that are aligned with one character each (Duran (->Val), Hawkeye (->Morley), Angela (->Palamena), and Charlotte (->Julei)), with the last two (Riesz and Kevin) being distributed wherever they fit.

Anyway, I am so excited. I love me a good class system, especially when it comes with different costumes, especially when the costume designs are as fun and elaborate as these ones are. (This is like Bravely Default all over again, haha.)

#8 and #14 for the fandom ask?

Since the fandom I have been active in on tumblr is Mario, my answers will be mostly center around that fandom.

8. You hope more people will come to appreciate ___ (a ship, a trope, an episode, etc)

Mostly Peach. Based on my time here, Peach is a popular and well-liked character. However, in other media, she is often bashed, rebuked, and seen as inferior to the other female Mario characters. I think a lot of that has to do with her being kidnapped in many Mario games and her being the primary female character. Mario suffers from this as well, especially when compared to Luigi. Back to Peach, she is much more than that, of course. I find her to be a very charming, fun and in today's female character landscape, unique character. This shows significantly outside of the mainline Mario games. With Princess Peach Showtime coming out in March, I believe it will showcase more of her positive traits, and I think that could go a long way when it comes to her being appreciated more (I also hope the game is a good one). Although I could say this about all of the Mario characters and everything about them (ships, games, and others included), Peach is the one who immediately came to mind regarding this question.

14. The ship that always makes you smile

Mareach (Mario x Princess Peach) hands down. 😊 The idea of a short yet courageous blue-collar plumber with a heart of gold who is not considered to be conventionally attractive by most of society's standards being paired with a tall, beautiful, regal, and kind-hearted princess who is thankful and appreciative of said plumber (the cakes and kisses, just to name a few) just really hits the feels. Luaisy (Luigi x Princess Daisy) is another one I love seeing, especially with the plumber/princess dynamic albeit with different personalities and characteristics. 😂

Ships from other fandoms I love and appreciate:

Zelink (Princess Zelda x Link) from The Legend of Zelda

Crono x Marle from Chrono Trigger

Durangela (Duran x Angela) and Hawkeye x Riesz from Trials of Mana

Cloud x Tifa & Cloud x Aerith from Final Fantasy VII (yeah, I like both ships, sue me)

Liu Kang x Kitana from Mortal Kombat

Convo I had with my bro on my bday

Me: guess what game I've been playing :3c

Him: intrigued what game?

Me: Trials of Mana remake

Him: gasps in spanish so I'm guessing your team is Angela, Riesz and Charlotte

Me: o: that is a great idea I should do that next, but not Riesz

Him: very confused who do you have instead?

Me: Hawkeye

Him: Hawkeye!?

Me: it's because Ono Yuki voices him 💕

Him: ah

Me: yeah no in the original what you said would have been my team xD but this one is fully voiced and I was not gonna miss an opportunity to fight alongside Ono Yuki ok!

Question about ToM

[dumbsack]

wow some idiot just came out of retirement and finally posted a new Duran/Angela fic after like six months of not writing WHOA! It's a story where Duran and Angela make an attempt at being a fairy tale couple, and José appears to clown on Duran for a little bit.

This was gonna go up sooner, but it was Hawkeye/Riesz week and I know Vanya was looking forward to posting those fics. I didn't wanna interrupt their stream of cute Hawkeye/Riesz with my stuff!

Anyway uh, enjoy!(?)

edit: fricking crud I just updated the upload date. Sorry eeeeek

Two things I forgot from this afternoon...

They had a live music trio that was doing a few sets by the pool. We hung around for the Pop and Reggae set, but were tired and wanted to go back to the room before the Easy Listening set. Really nice...they're doing a tribute to Bob Marley tomorrow night we might go to.

There was a Mr. Sexy Legs contest for the dudes while Mom and I were taking our second swim and between the two music sets. Of course, all the contestants were middle aged dudes with nothing in the way of looks and having one too many drinks (only one too many...they were not completely drunk, just a bit out of it). So no real eye candy.

I distracted myself thinking about RPG characters if their casts had similar contests. Got stuck on Hawkeye throwing his shirt off, flexing, and giving Riesz (who was trying not to get involved despite how many attractive males there were) sexy winks...

Had dinner at a small restaurant. Spinach Artichoke Dip for an appetizer, a bowl of Penne Vodka with shrimp for a main course, and Apple Strudel with Vanilla Ice Cream for dessert. I mean, technically I had my veggies and fruit...

Trials Of Mana Pt. 8 [Hawkeye and Riesz's Origins]

[luminachannel]

The Mana Series is one of the first JRPG series I ever played, starting with Secret of mana for the SNES.

It's been a favorite of mine since. The upcoming Visions of Mana was one of the most hype announcements I could have hoped for.

This Super Cut series I'm working on is me being charmed by the silliness of the voice acting and CHARLOTTE! I love that silly uwu voice bab!

After part 1 up there, I also have Part 2 and 3! under the readmore!

Episode 2 is all about Charlotte and her Hijinks.

And then I got Gnome'd and shot out of a cannon??

Be sure to Like Comment and Sunrise to see more of this series, winter was busy but I'm making time to finish this fun and lovely game.
