I go by Vee. He/Him, They/Them - Primarily English speaker. 20+. Focused mainly on Rufus-centric things. Have an adoration for Vagrant Story, jrpgs, other games. I do tend to follow back, but sometimes I can vanish for days at a time.

That time when Lloyd arrests Rufus on suspicion of Rufus forgetting about his bond with him.

It's called a dinner date. This is how they go out. Yes, Rufus, you will wear the handcuffs.

Do you see this stuff as reposts by followers? Or is it in a discovery?

Currently a little heartbroken. Had an order canceled due to personal issues on the creator. I feel for her and hope life improves.
Still sad over it. I'd rather the product than the full refund, but I'm not gonna impose on anyone over fandom crap.

This is adorable and it makes me feel better.

Been also thinking about how players would fare in a raid against the Ironbloods. Here is Rufus and Osborne.

Rufus is the penultimate boss. Affectionately known as the 'guild breaker'. There are three things you must know when you've made it up to him.

All that to say Jusis is the bestest, Rufus has a hard-on for Lloyd, and Rufus is probably going to teach Cedric how to raid lead while Jusis steps into the role naturally.
One day, I might write a fic about this insanity.
Ironbloods, the new ninja raiders.

Trails and MMOs.
Rufus is a raid leader for the Ironbloods. Their GM is Osborne. He signs in and off periodically. When he's there, they are all going for some hardcore raiding.
Rufus has gotten best in slot for the other Ironbloods.
Ironbloods also have a reputation for being lootstealers.

Gonna give you a hard one.
1) What is the best scene in the CS series to you?
2) What is the worst scene in the CS series to you?
3) If the chars you love were the opposite gender, would you still adore them as much as you do?

See, I would love to purchase a Lloyd acrylic figure in that outfit. That's a lovely outfit.

I run into this problem when I've finished a good game. Others say, "I want to play a game like this." Or "Recommend me similar games."

I say, "I want to take this character and put him in another game. I want to keep playing with this character. I will Kingdom Hearts this character."

YES!

This is why Rufus' daycare center makes sense. He did such a damn good job raising Rufus, which really brought out the good within him as he gave all of that to Jusis, now it's Lapis' turn. Though technically she adopted him. ;)

04.08.2025 14:56 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

That being said, I think Rufus is affectionate as well to Lapis because she needs him. Rufus still believes that people are meant to be used. He holds himself to the same standards. Jusis does not need Rufus the way Lapis needs him. Jusis is Rufus' true legacy. Lapis is just starting her own journey

-hospital, Rufus is, for the first time, awkward around Jusis. He's unsure what to say, having just been made aware that yes, his brother loves and accepts ALL of him. We were cheated out of more scenes of the two and their true confirmation of that. We just see an image of Jusis visiting Rufus.

04.08.2025 14:15 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 3    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

-accept both the good and bad. All sides of himself. He kept the bad parts of him hidden from Jusis until later.
So of course he'd be more affectionate to the one who accepts all of him.
We weren't able to see a lot more of Rufus-Jusis interaction after the tower, but when Jusis comes to the-

04.08.2025 14:14 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 3    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I can make it make sense.
There's the falcom answer in which Lapis is a cute little girl and cute little girl merch is sold more than teen boy.
But in canon, Lapis got to know all of Rufus. Good and bad. She accepted both parts of him, because they are all Rufus. Rufus didn't think Jusis would-

The last one is non-negotiable. It's part of therapy.

I think Rufus' punishment after CS4 should have been community service. Community service would have him staying in Bareahard and being the emotional support big brother to Jusis. This includes, but is not limited to:
-Giving hugs
-Pep talks
-Horseback rides
-Listening to Jusis affirmations on Rufus

So do you think when Trails finally gets to the sept-terrion of wind, Gaius will make an actual reappearance? Or will he be shafted yet again?

03.08.2025 23:00 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 1    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

That feels like cheap prices in comparison to what they go to on Ebay. Good series!

THAT is what I want. Rufus and Jusis, back to back, each sporting Ishnard and Elvars. That would be hardcore.

03.08.2025 21:42 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

- but it must work both ways.
Which is why that if they meet up in Kai 2, Rufus will be in a healthier place and time was allowed to pass to soothe the old hurts. They're clearly still in contact with one another, at least.
As for merch, I do think Lapis is being used as a Jusis-substitute.

03.08.2025 21:41 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

-the apology. Otherwise Rufus will be more skittish in what he's allowed. He doesn't want to hurt Jusis anymore than he's already done so. He won't impose himself onto Jusis.
Hell, he was surprised to learn that Jusis still LOVED him. Jusis tells him he needs to be more upfront with his feelings, -

03.08.2025 21:39 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I think it's Jusis who would need to be the first to initiate affection to Rufus. It's up in the air how much Rufus truly feels he needs to atone for, but it's Jusis who needs to show Rufus that it's okay to hug. It's okay to go back to how they were before. Because it's Jusis who needs to accept-

03.08.2025 21:38 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

But after that moment in the tower, their final dialogue changes in the corridor with Jusis being very adamant that they are family no matter what. We do see small moments of them teasing one another, testing the waters as Jusis makes comments on the sunglasses and all. But we do need more.

03.08.2025 21:36 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

This is why I hate that Crow's there. These two need to have a moment of their own. I can understand why Rufus isn't being affectionate. Until Jusis saves him in the tower, Rufus does not feel he deserves any bit of love or kindness from Jusis. That's why Lloyd's words hit so hard.

Damn! I know nothing about art, but I just really adore seeing that. There's just something so vibrant. Maybe it's in the brush strokes or just your own talent.

The third one looks like it could be absolutely gorgeous with watercolors. Really niche, I know, but I think it's in the flow of the background.
