[OT1 SPOILERS]

Many opportunities for Alfyn to have been the same desperate tragic figure as Lianna, ready to make a deal with the devil to bring back those he loved from the cold embrace of death. But in my mind instead of turning immediately to 'surely satan can help' he was already more of a worshipper of Dohter than any of the others, and the loss of his mother pushed him over the edge of 'none of the other gods have ever done anything for me' and while monotheistic isnt the right word. he does not worship anyone besides Dohter anymore. The miracles of health and the human body and healing and medicine are ones he witnesses every day, even has a hand in. All else...well. If the other gods in their petty anger over losing one more follower want to take Zeph or Nina, the only people he really has left, he's better prepared now.

wickedsick asked:

Just did a read through of a few travel banters from octopath 1 and I gotta say, the Therion and Alfyn banters are really fun.

Therion chapter 2: they talk about going to a tavern. Therion says that Alfyn will be paying.

Alfyn chapter 3: they talk about going to a tavern again. Alfyn says he wants to avoid getting drunk around Therion.

Therion chapter 3: They talk about going to a tavern again. Therion insists on paying for drinks this time.

Outside of the Tavern Saga, their other travel banters are about Alfyn giving a woman a drug-induced nightmare, Alfyn saying he's got Therion's back, and Therion saying "would you trust this friend of yours forever? No matter what? Even if he betrayed you?" And Alfyn just saying "yep"

spitblaze answered:

THEY’RE GOOD DOGS BRENT!!! They have a really good dynamic! And you can even see the through line with their relationship growth. Like you know me I’m incapable of looking at these two and seeing anything besides a slow burn romance but if i take off my fuckin Queer Goggles for a half second it’s still a very clear progression of Therion being like ‘ugh cheery goodie two shoes wants to be friends. thats his problem’ to these two having a genuine bond. Therion talking about trust with him, something that’s very personal to him that he has a lot of issues with and he keeps very close to his chest. Alfyn being clear about having his back no matter what. They’re close enough to be able to know they have each others backs, even after all Therion’s been through and how long he’s presumably been trying to keep everyone else at arm’s length. All my shit aside, they’re good friends! Canonically! Their relationship is interesting and fun to explore because they’re so drastically different but mesh so well! Im love these two please feel free to talk to me about Alfyn and Therion in any context any time

spitblaze asked:

"I could teach them."

Clearbrook's meeting hall fell silent the moment Therion raised his voice. Every pair of eyes glued to him in shock, Alfyn's included, though his expression was less one of disbelief and more simple surprise. Which, Therion supposed, was fair. He was hardly the kind of person who volunteered himself for things, much less for being the town's schoolteacher while the usual scholar fought her illness.

"...You?" Some incredulous villager asked, managing to pick their jaw up off the floor.

"Sure." The thief - well, those days were mostly behind him now even if he'd still had a heist or two since then, though he had a hard time thinking of himself as anything else - shrugged. "I know reading, writing, arithmetic, and a few more things besides. I had a pretty good teacher of my own, and I like kids. I'm not doing much around town besides supporting Alfyn, anyway. Don't see why not." The murmurs of discomfort through the room were easy to ignore when Alfyn smiled, his face taken over by that full-force grin with a radiance to rival the sun.

"Theri!" The apothecary wrapped an arm around his shoulder, barely contained but at least aware that flinging himself into his arms wasn't appropriate in this setting. "Shucks, that's a great idea! Those kids already love ya, you'd be a great teacher!"

"Wait, hold on." One of the elders shook their head. "We hardly know you, how can we trust our children with you? Alfyn himself would be a perfectly good substitute-"

"WOULD be," Alfyn interrupted, "except I'm already Miss Honeysuckle's attending physician. Don't see none of you lining up to fill her spot, either."

"But he's practically a stranger!" Another woman shot up in her seat. "And we're supposed to trust him just because he's your husband?"

Therion took a deep breath and clenched his hand. No threats, no threats. Handle this like an adult. "You can trust me because, whether you know me or not, your kids already do. I play ball with them, I tell them stories, I catch frogs in the creek with them. I've started teaching one or two to read already. Not a single one of you wondered why they all suddenly knew how to perfectly peel an apple one day?"

"Dunno why you folks keep bringin' me into this, either." Alfyn shook his head. "He's only been here a few years, but he's hardly a stranger to y'all at this point."

"Well, we trust YOU, Alfyn!" A desperate father pleaded. "But we just don't know him half as well, and he's..."

"I'm what, exactly?" Therion combed his fingers through his hair, brushing his bangs out of the way of his eyepatch. No longer a shameful reminder to him, the scar on full display. "Go ahead, I'm listening." No direct answer came, only the murmuring of the in-group. A familiar scene, one that reminded him of his own childhood. Of his own mother. Whispers of how he was an 'outsider'. ("She's not from here, and she's always speaking in some weird language.") Rumblings of his past, his lifestyle ("I heard her husband was a killer." "I heard the kid's father was hung for treason."). His unusual appearance, his otherness ("Do you really want a foreigner teaching your kids? They always smell like their strange food and talk strangely."). His patience waned, his clenched fist trembled as his knuckles whitened. He felt a retort building in his chest, the hurtful words he'd been holding back beginning to bubble to the surface.

"What the hells is all this about, huh?" Alfyn shot to his feet so fast the chair clattered behind him. The room stared at him in shock, Therion included, though less with disbelief and more with surprise. "You got a man with more life experience than half of this room combined offerin' to teach your kids, and you get cold feet because you don't like how he looks? Because you haven't made the time to get to know him? Forget reading writing and arithmetic, what kinda gods-damned lesson is THAT to teach your kids? If you guys are gonna wring your hands about the one guy in town that's qualified and willing because he's got a couple scars, you'd lose your minds at some of the nicest people I've ever met outside of Clearbrook."

The room was silent.

"I believe...we will adjourn this meeting for now." The village elder stood up. "As for what's been discussed here today, we...have much to consider. Therion." The thief, if he could still call himself that, perked up in his seat. "If this is truly something you want to do...then we will continue this discussion next time with fresh minds. The both of you have made...rather salient points. Until next week."

As the meeting dispersed, Alfyn let out a breath and hung his head. "Damn." He sighed. "I just...I can't believe they'd do that to ya. You'd think they'd know better by know, but..."

"Hm." Therion hummed. Being treated with suspicion was nothing new to him, though it still stung a bit when it was his new home. "Hey. Uh...thanks for saying something. I don't know that I would've been nearly that nice about it. Might've just made things worse."

"Aw, shucks. I just couldn't stand listening to them say all that right in front of ya." Alfyn smiled again and pulled him close. "And for the record, I really do think you'd make a great teacher."

"Let's hope you're right." Therion laid his face on his chest, smiling contentedly, and wrapping his arms around Alfyn's waist.

"What, you don't trust me?"

"I do."

The thief (or perhaps not) felt his Alfyn nuzzle the top of his head and sigh happily, as he always did whenever he told his husband he trusted him. And that was all he needed, whether or not anyone else approved.

!!!!!!!!! I like this!!!!!!

the part with parenthesis ear the middle of the fic… how theri’s always been an outsider in some sense…. augh. he’s gone through so much the last thing he needs is this. the part where alfyn actually confronted all the people at the meeting was very cathartic (I think that’s the right word) to read. like hell yeah alf get their asses

also!!!! therion being good with kids!!!!! blaze you share my vision!!!!!!! he absolutely would

also the part at the end was very sweet but all I can think of is that drawing you made where theri’s pushing his head into alfyn’s tits and thinking ‘booba’ while smiling mischievously. it lives in my brain at all times

[Doodles and baking]

At it again. To start: Alfyn proposed to Therion! At last!

Discovered we need meat to appease the dinosaur in the cave, so we either need to find a way to buy some or sacrifice a goat…

Found a lady while jogging. She is not okay. I guess she survived at least because the grim reaper never showed up but… lady what happened…

Also, Therion and Alfyn’s horses had a foal! His name is Toffee :)

And then it was time for the wedding. Oh boy, the wedding…

To start we hired random sims for catering. Guess who was the bartender.

DARIUS. FOR THERION’S WEDDING.

But oh boy he had nothing to do with the sheer drama that unfolded. Alfyn and Therion go to order drinks.

One of the wedding guests flirts with Alfyn. Therion, of course, sees. The game counts this as Alfyn cheating on Therion. Therion is furious. Huge decrease in love meter. Hurt sentiment.

And then a fight breaks out.

Alfyn is now angry the guests are fighting. He lectures them. A second fight between the same sims breaks out. The lady’s name is Skunk btw.

Well. Alfyn is able to apologize to Therion, get rid of the negative sentiment, and continue on with the wedding. Therion is still mad because the moodlet has a 12 hour cooldown. (Game hours) but they exchange vows and that improves Therion’s mood.

Got gold on the event despite everything going horribly wrong.

Then after a day or so Darius showed up unannounced and started just, roaming their ranch? He walked in on Alfyn in the bathroom (he was not invited inside) then walked up to Therion’s horse. He’s lucky Pecan has a maxed temperament now…

Was totally plotting to steal a horse imo. (Pretty sure that he can’t but for story purposes I’m going with it)

[Doodles and baking]

Sims update! Therion found a cave! Down in the gulch and I’m sure it’s totally not haunted!

He puts on swim trunks to explore it. I do not know why. Things were going pretty well until uh

Flee persued by t-rex.

That aside at one point he required a sheep to proceed in the cave so the ranch has a sheep and goat now. I love them. They are cute and tiny and get along with the horses… even if they do drink the horse pee.

Alfyn’s foal Butterscotch grew up! She’s very pretty. Therion also made Trash Wine- drinking it makes you stinky in a way animals like??? Therion tried it and put the rest of the bottle in the fridge.

(Alfyn later drank the stinky trash wine autonomously and became stinky)

They’re happy together :) I really need to have them propose…

[Doodles and baking]

Been at it again. Therion and Alfyn had an official date made awkward by the bartender joining their conversation. They then got up, left the building, went to the employee’s entrance and went back inside to kiss behind the counter.

Did eventually herd them back to a table at least.

And today Therion’s horse Pecan grew up! He absolutely hated having Therion on his back at first. But the good news is he doesn’t bite anymore.

Alfyn dancing a hoedown while Therion cooks

And accidentally had them order two drinks at once for both of them

Alfyn looks happy at least? Therion meanwhile is very close to affording the trait to never have to sleep again.

Oh and last screenshot I just found this funny:

Don’t tell them I don’t think they’ve noticed.

[fishoren]

this is sort of the prequel to my earlier pikmin/olimar gif when i first made the pikmin model. look at him

[Doodles and baking]

Been playing the Sims again. I didn’t think I’d like the horses, but, well I’m hooked on them now. Therion bought himself a small cottage on a big plot of land in the canyon area. Making necter and chilling.

Then he adopted a little colt named Pecan

He met Alfyn at the local bar (he was the bartender) and after a nonofficical date and becoming boyfriends Alfyn asked to move in.

He also immediately got the fear of being cheated on despite me having fears turned off. Alfyn honey you were official for like 12 hours and most of those you were both asleep.

I made a cellar for aging the necter and am chuffed with it.

Alfyn then adopted a filly named Butterscotch. She and Pecan are both aggressive and don’t really get along yet. They both also constantly try to bite people.

Anyway today a neighbor came by and caught the ranch on fire. Alfyn was on top of it but Therion’s dinner could not be saved.
