#olberic x erhardt

[sly-s-n0nfusion]

I woke up and realized both Olberic-Cyrus and Olberic-Erhardt are sun/moon coded but in completely opposite ways because while Erhardt (the blazing blade, red/gold aesthetic) is a scorching, fiery sun related to destruction (or rather self-destruction) that burns everything and everyone near it until it finds a use for that heat, Cyrus (name literally means child of the sun) is a warm, kind light that dissipates the darkness and enlightens the world with knowledge, and the hope that said knowledge is shared and used for good

[incorrectoctopathtravelerquotes]

Olberic: *in reference to Erhardt* Sorry I'm going to be more normal about him.

Olberic: *not even a few minutes later* I need to hunt him for sport.

“Wasn’t that a sweet farewell?” Primrose says. “I suppose we’ll be seeing more of your Sir Erhardt later, then?”

Olberic ignores her interesting phrasing of ‘your’, and says, “Aye, I believe so. There is still much to discuss.”

“Right. And excuse my curiosity,” she says with a glint in her eye, “but why didn’t you tell me you and him were in love?”

After leaving Wellspring, Primrose has questions for Olberic about a certain old friend of his.

See I went the other way. I made it lighter and softer. -slaps my cotc game- this game can fit so much fluff because I want it to. I took one look at Auguste and went “Him and Gilderoy are gonna get together and he’s gonna be redeemed and no one will stop me” and I’m now saving the 30k rubies to guarantee full awakening for when he’s released. I have so many hcs and expansive backgrounds for so many travelers and it’s fun sitting around creating a found family.

And yeah the og 8 traveler stories.... some are. :/ Alfyn said in the og game he’s never been further than Saintsbridge. Tressa has never left town. And then making Erhardt spend 8 years in the desert... when in the main game he was said to wander, and his old friends are everywhere....

I know the creators said it’s canon, but for me, CotC is a spin-off that I pick and choose things from. It’s the only way I can reconcile it with the og game, because the contradictions and retcons are kinda ridiculous.

We're definitely different in this case then! :o I like fluffy things, but I love angst more. >:D I love picking out the implied dark things then making it like 110% times worse! Even in the more lighthearted first game. Olberic and Ophilia are my favourites and I love the potential their stories have for it all.

Like I said, I think more about the Story Characters (I'd say "NPCs", but they ain't that anymore) less of the Travelers, so the dark stuff is more easier to come up with. (Oskha, Bargello, or Wealth in general, I love it all and its disturbing potential!!)

I can't judge the shipping of Gilderoy and Auguste because I ship Sofiano (Tiziano X Sofia). I say go for it! (...Are you the "Gilderoy fan" that Mini has told me about...?? If so, hello! It's nice to know who is being spoken about.)

In my future "canon" version of the game's plot, the main character is Shelby, my playthrough is simply just that, my own playthrough for my enjoyment. In the end, the collaboration with my brother's team is the canon we go with. Though his team is also barely involved either. It's complicated to explain, but one day I hope to write this story!

On the topic of Brigades/Main Teams, mine would be considered a "family" as well. I talked about that kind of thing in this post here if you were curious! May I ask you what your Main Team is? All I know is Gilderoy right now! I'd like to know about your team if you are willing to share.

Here's my team in one of my favourite Photo Spots; the 2021 Harvest Moon.

Wrath has actually implied he's traveled around. He was in the Highlands for his Recollection and je was in Sufratarja for his Traveler Story because it's a closer location to Wellspring, and it allows his story to naturally transition into the first game's plot. Mostly every first game character story does this. Meaning he had traveled to the Sunlands and stopped in Sufratarja, then after his Traveler Story he comes across the events given to us in the first game. He's only been in Sunlands/Wellspring for two years, not eight. Two years is more reasonable as it's long enough to be considered a "hero" of Wellspring, and kinda makes more sense since the town seems to barely know who he is aside from that he helps protect the town. Keeping yourself hidden for two years is easier than eight.

But anyway, in my opinion, I'd take most stories as canon with the exception of the Main 8, they chose to write their stories "grand" because they were main characters once. However, this game they aren't the main characters, and that should be understood by fans and by the creators! From what I know of all the Main 8 Stories (So far we've read through H'aanit, Cyrus, and Primrose, but I've played Tressa's), the only one that kinda seems okay in a canon sense is Cyrus' Traveler Story. Primrose's was very close to being okay, until she left Sunshade to go to the Finesand Ruins. There's also very missed potential in her story with getting Yusufa involved. H'aanit's technically fine as well, but it's just weird that they imply she's so "useless" when she's like 23 years old and I am sure she's an excellent hunter.

But yes, Alfyn going to the Highlands and Coastlands didn't happen at all. Tressa travelling from the Coastlands to Flatlands to Coastlands to Highlands to Sunlands, back to the Coastlands didn't happen, and especially not within one afternoon. :/

This might just be me, but I can't stand when they write stories with the characters making it sound like the continent is so easy to walk through and towns are so near each other. It sounds like gameplay being put into it. I want to imagine it takes an appropriate while to travel from town to town on foot, because thinking about the team having a campfire and all that stuff on the way is kinda nice. :) See, I told you I like some lighthearted things!!

These "answers" are getting quite long... :o I like to talk about this game, so thank you for sending these messages and allowing me to do so.

Day 5, "blade". From Octopath Traveler, the Twin Blades of Hornburg. AKA Erhardt and Olberic, AKA sword husbands, AKA my best boys. Lotsa trauma but it's gonna be okay.  I did a couple other warm-up sketches of them so I added those too! They’re really fun to draw

I know how to get shipping stuff out of them, we can play FMK! The family friendly version, even - you know, fraternize, marry, kindly ask to leave the room. Therion, you go first: Alfyn, Cordelia, Tressa. Alfyn, you get your three 'cuties': Ophilia, Prim, and Tress. And Tressa you get Ali, Noa, Therion. Olberic you can pick between Erhardt, Primrose, and your sword. Cyrus you get Astronomy, History, and a very large book. Ophilia - Aelfric, Bifelgan, Sealticge. H'aanit: leopard, wolf, a moose

Therion: Nope, I am NOT doing this. *leaves*

Alfyn: Uh, here, I’ll do my best to answer these for you. Fraternize Ophilia, marry Tress, and uh… I wouldn’t wanna leave Primrose in the dust, so maybe endure 1 or 2 minutes away from her.

Tressa: *grumbles* I still don’t want to do this but…. I guess this question would be okay, if you guys can stop bugging me after this… fraternize Noa, marry Ali, and threaten Therion out of the room.

Ophilia: I… don’t think I should be treating the gods like they’re close friends to me, so I kindly decline the ask. I may be able to do it with my friends here though!

Cyrus: *confused* How does one marry a book or an animal?

Primrose: *shrugs* Well, it’s not like you’re actually going to marry it for real, so this should be a harmless question for you and H’aanit.

H’aanit: Very well, then. Fraternize, marry, and kindly asketh to leaven the room: wolf, leopard, and moose respectively.

Cyrus: I shall fraternize astronomy, marry history, and kindly ask the large book to leave the room.

Primrose: Pfffffft, okay professor. What about you, Olberic?

Olberic: U-Um, I’m not so sure as to my sword is one of the choices but…. fraternize Primrose, marry Erhardt, and leave my sword alone for a few minutes.

Primrose: Oh, so you do like him.

Olberic: I can’t say much about your remark, but I do consider him as greater than a friend…er, perhaps soulmates.

Now that creators have been revealed, here’s my fic for the Octopath Exchange: https://archiveofourown.org/works/20030746

Olberic/Erhardt set before the events of the game (nsfw)

[sly-s-n0nfusion]

13, 10, and 4 for the Salt Shaker list?

Thank you viri! In today’s episode of sly is brutally honest (I will answer for both ot1 and 2)

10. Most disliked arc? Why?

If we count traveler stories as “arcs”, I will now be very predictable and say it’s Tressa’s story from OT1 and Agnea’s from OT2. Yes I’m not a big enjoyer of the lighthearted story/coming of age arcs and I know it’s probably a me problem lmao but I got bored to death playing both. At least Tressa is a bit of a hot headed character so that kinda saves the day in her story a few times, Agnea is just meh both as a character and as a story. I literally do not care about her lmao, believe me when I say I still have to finish OT2 because I need to play her chapter 4 and my god I cannot bring myself to turn on the Nintendo switch and play it because I know it’s gonna be a whole playing session of me just not caring at all but good to all the people who can enjoy this type of stories!

4. Do you have a notp in your fandom? Are they a popular otp?

Wowieeeeee The Question y’all were waiting for lmao

Yes I do dislike Olberic x Erhardt quite a lot because of. Literally too many reasons to write here but it mainly has to do with the fact that I tend to like wholesome ships more than angsty ones and also the fact that their dynamic awakens in me the memory of so many relationship red flags I have encountered in my life (not necessarily romantically speaking lol) so yeah they’re just a huge no for me!

Yes they’re pretty popular in the western fandom, unsurprisingly I’d say since many love the charm of toxic doomed yaoi, though not so much within the jp fandom

As for OT2, I don’t really have strong opinions on ships as much as I do for ot1… I guess I can’t really see Osvald with anyone after what happened to Rita. I haven’t seen many Osvald ships out there that can be considered popular tho lol

13. Unpopular opinion about XXX character?

I want to end this ask post with a positive note talking about Ophilia! I’ve seen many people describing her as bland and uninteresting but if you think about her character and her late story and her relationship with her sister and the archbishop Josef for a bit you’ll actually find out she has many interesting points. Her relationship with love, family, faith are not that bland actually :)

[kirukirice]

Wedding Bells

[therichalder]

My biggest Octopath headcanon is that Olberic and Erhardt were sort of lovers back when they were in Hornburg together. Olberic never mentions a lover of any sort, despite his age. Nor does Erhardt. All Olberic ever talks about or seems stuck over is Erhardt’s betrayal and how he couldn’t save the king. But damn, does he take Erhardt’s betrayal personally.

If you ask me, they were lovers of sorts when they were younger, and after Erhardt’s betrayal, Olberic swore off any such feeling ever again.
