THOUGHTS ON VANILLE AND CAS.

Also, give an idea of her feels about Sazh showing up, once he shows up.

[allmiracles]

let's see how incoherent i can be.

OMG CAS IS SO COOL. she's absolutely intrigued by his abilities and what he can do!! the parallel she's made between cas and an eidolon has kind of earned him a special place in her heart? there are a lot of things she reallllly doesn't understand about his world, and the place that he puts himself in that world with god and what exactly his role is, but she's absolutely convinced herself that he's somehow there to show people the right way.

while she sees him as a person, she also sort of treats him like a being from another world. she's really glad that she got to help him through his problems with dean, because there is something she can teach people, even someone like him! stumbling your way through emotional problems is something that really can only do for himself, even as she tries to hold his hand through it.

learning about other people's lives and helping them with their problems are things that vanille does to divert herself from her own issues. it's a way that she can feel like she made an impact without looking at the things that have passed that she really doesn't want to deal with. in some ways, cas' problems were a distraction from things that were really going on. but it's always kind of like that. she sort of starts out learning about people because she doesn't want to look at herself, and then ends up adoring them/crushing on them/getting close to them! i think it falls into the "she adores cas" category and wants to help him learn about emotions!! and she wants him to be happy with those emotions and be with the people he loves.

RELATIONSHIP MEEEEEE

also i can't wait to meet your girlfriend

[allmiracles]

HEY DIO IS KIND OF GREAT BECAUSE SHE CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON HIM FOR A GOOD TIME. it's also relieving spending time with him because he never asks any questions, and never really pushes her in any direction that she doesn't want to go in. they usually don't talk about anything that's heavy, and end up rolling around and have a good time. I THINK THEY DO THIS SO MUCH THAT there was the whole "zomg you're a lord??" and "zomg you saved the world?" thing that kind of happened a few weeks ago. it's interesting because while they really kind of know about each other's personalities, they really don't know much about what's happening/going on in each other's stories and lives in their own worlds. so, vanille doesn't really ask much about him when she'd usually be prying right into his life because there are so many other things to do with him that she gets distracted. she also feels like there's a sort of mutual agreement not to ask. so she doesn't ask him, and he doesn't really... ask her.

anyway, he's really a delight and she feels really relaxed and comfortable around him, mostly because she doesn't feel like she really has to keep her guard sharp. HE IS JUST A LOT OF FUN, AND KIND OF WANTS TO HAVE RECKLESS FUN, AND SHE'S COOL WITH THAT. instead of having to work to side-step her problems through conversation she can just do it by having a really good time. even when she watched herself get killed in the memory post, he sort of lead her away by the hand and was like LET'S GO DO SOMETHING ELSE, LET'S NOT THINK ABOUT THIS, which is totally up her alley.

so she really adores him and wants to wear his suit.

[allmiracles]

ALSO I'M SURE MY GIRLFRIEND WILL BE QUITE HAPPY TO MEET YOU.

Relationship for Vanille or Vanya! or Vanille and Cinna!

[allmiracles]

WAH VANYA. I ALMOST FEEL BAD WRITING ABOUT THIS. okay, so she really, really adores vanya to death, but vanille has a lot of issues (as i was saying above) with drowning herself in other people's problems so she doesn't have to be aware of her own. vanya is really the perfect candidate for this—and in a lot of their threads vanille consciously changes the subject of the conversation off of herself so she doesn't really have to explain/deal with some of the issues that she doesn't want to deal with. telling vanya about oerba and waking up in crystal five-hundred years later in one of their more recent threads was a really big step for her. now, this is partially because vanya has a lot of her own problems to deal with, and vanille knows that she worries about all of her friends and makes an effort not to add to that. it's really interesting because a lot of the time vanya only sees one side of her, and that's her stereotypical bouncy, happy girl big-sister side.

so, there's the bit where she gives pretty good advice on how to deal with things, but she's never really telling the whole story. even the bits of information she gives her are really few and far between as far as... what happened. AND SHE DOES THIS ON PURPOSE.

but she really feels like she needs to take care of vanya, especially from a familial perspective. vanille is really domestic, and she likes to make sure that everyone that she cares about is taken care of in the ways that she knows how to take care of them.

[allmiracles]

ALSO DUDE I RESERVE THE RIGHT FOR VANYA'S RELATIONSHIP TO VANILLE!! tell me your things.

[cavemenwin]

Relationship w/ Illyria?

[allmiracles]

illyria is special snowflake. she kind of gets the castiel/machine treatment in the way that she is obviously not human but gets treated like one. vanille feels that there's a lot about emotions and a lot about humanity in general that she doesn't understand, but there's also a level where she's fascinated with it. and she wants to give back to illyria in the way illyria gives to her, even if she might not know it.

she feels very safe with her. there's no talk of what happened on her world, and nothing that she really feels the need to express, so illyria is really kind of a safe place to be. see really seeks out that kind of female attention, because in a way, it's really what makes her comfortable. she really adores her in the respect that she could really get flown into a seriously dangerous situation with her and still feel safe. like she lets herself be vulnerable when she hugs her! she lets her do things for her that she probably wouldn't normally let people do for her! IN SHORT SHE IS A BADASS LADY WHO GIVES HER A VERY INTERESTING KIND OF EMOTIONAL SUPPORT BY JUST BEING … WHO SHE IS. i wish i had a more graceful way of saying that, but even her mannerisms and her tone of voice are probably comforting on some level.

there's more. more later. sleep now.

[rhymeswithpain]

are we girlfrands, y/y?

[allmiracles]

vanille wants to see cass' center. her center that she believes where there are possibly feelings? cass is always really short and to the point, while vanille is kind of babblely and helps lead the conversation into other realms. in some ways she really kind of wants to pry a little more, but doesn't want to pressure cass to tell her anything. it's kind of a delicate subject with people who have a tendency not to talk—because she always feels that there's some kind of way that she has to gently approach things to get to know her better. it's kind of like a project. then she just wants to wash her back forever when they share a bath.

[mind_over_metal]

Vanille and Mal! and/or Dante and Tatsumi idek what their relationship of mutual mockery is at this point

random icon

[lockandload]

jfkdl dude dante and tatsumi are just old man camp trolls. like seriously, i feel that most of their conversations are just them trying to make the other kind of uncomfortable. but there's also that odd layer that's like "oh, i kind of find you attractive, let's have a battle of possible troll wits." in a way it's fun, it keeps dante's mind off of certain things, and it helps him adjust a little more and deal with camp better. he's in a weird place where camp's authority is really starting to make him antsy, so babbling with tatsumi, and making a little bit lighter of his issues with authority in camp kind of makes it easier.

SO IN A WAY IT'S REALLY GOOD FOR HIM? it also keeps him sharp and doesn't allow his wits to drag, which sometimes he does because he really just doesn't care what other people are thinking about him.

sup Vanille

[allmiracles]

HEY BIRD IS THE WORD.

this all started with a bird that talks. she was very fascinated with the bird that talks, and sort of fascinated by this tsuntsun attitude. it was really more of touching the cute bird, and then it was talking, and then it was totally a person? i'm not quite sure how to explain her gawking mental process inwhich the bird has people qualities. she usually treats animals like she treats everyone else, anyway, but it's still like. holy shit. this bird is talking to me.

and then the bird had no friends and didn't know what friendship was, and she was kind of struck that it was really sad, and it kind of put an interesting twist on the way she usually treats situations like that (situations where the person that she's focusing on is obviously not human but has a lot of human traits). while before she was pretty content with poking him back and forth and watching him fuss about it, i think she's departed on a new mission to really kind of emotionally support this pigeon and show him what friendship is because... that's sort of what she does.

but he'll still get poked plenty.

[skinofalizard]

I AM NOT HERE

FEELS NOW

I LIKE RELATIONSHIP FEELS

[allmiracles]

I THINK MACHINE IS A LOT LIKE VANYA IN THE WAY THAT SHE TREATS THEM? she adores both of them like burning, but she falls into the same issues of evading her own problems to really work on theirs. she can avoid a lot of things that have happened to her/are happening to her in camp because she can really immerse herself in their own insecurities and things that they need to learn. with vanya it's her fears and needs, and with machine it's sort of integrating him into human society and teaching him things about friendship and love and how to be a person!

i don't think there's ever really been a time where she didn't think of him as a person. there's no line between HEY, HE'S A MACHINE and HEY, HE'S A PERSON to her. i think she kind of treats him more like she treats castiel in the fact that he's "something else" that really needs guidance when it comes to certain emotions. he's almost like a child in that respect. a very large metal child. part of her wants to help protect those emotions that he's having because he shouldn't be denied those kinds of things in his life, because they're so fulfilling, no matter what those emotions are.

[fallacies]

TELL ME FEELS BETWEEN OUR PEOPLE AND POSSIBLY CAPES AND HAM AND OTHER TERRIBLE THINGS

[allmiracles]

HAHA I AM GOING TO WRITE THIS RIGHT NOW BECAUSE IT'S FRESH ON MY MIND. when we were doing our first thread i got to thinking.

I think Raines was searching—searching for a way to make us understand. To understand the frustration of being a l'Cie—a l'Cie bound to a Focus. And maybe … what it meant to be human.

quite honestly, i don't think she ever really blamed him for what he did, or um, how he tried to kill them. there's a point where she believes that what he's trying to do is grasp feebly at his humanity even though he's a l'cie, and give them mercy. so when he suddenly showed up, the first thing she kind of wanted to do was tell him how his dream was realized, even though he wasn't the one who could see it through anymore. so she sort of fumbled with the "fang and i saved cocoon and i'm so glad that i could tell you that!!" because she feels in a way, that it's a way for her to make things right and put some of his pain at ease.

vanille likes to evade her own problems by diving into other people's. she gives pieces of information out, depending on the person, and is very careful not to give too much, or the wrong kind, depending on who they are. so there are people in camp who really only have bits and pieces of how she feels, as well as what happened in the world that she comes from.

SHE STILL KIND OF HAS THAT WITH CID RAINES, except that she feels like she almost owes him. so when he asks for something, or sometimes, even when he doesn't, she forces herself to tell him things openly. liiike that time where she was very obviously uncomfortable talking about oerba and gran pulse, and he changed the subject, and she was like "no, i think you need to hear this, anyway."

so a lot of her efforts with him are trying to integrate him and explain and kind of... relax that pain? she gets really happy when they do inane things like search for tonberries or she uses his cape or whatever. because as unimportant as they seem, there's that satisfaction that he's having fun with his life really sucked on cocoon.

the end.

now it's your turn.

[actualizedname]

SURE I WILL GO FOR THIS.

1. Relationship meme with Vanille and Hope and Dante and Julian.

2. dumb headcanon with Vanille.

3. Would Vanille with a phone be like tfln!Vanille?

4. Five secrets Vanille has never told, go.

3.

[allmiracles]

jkfld probably something close, just not as high all the time. she'd probably send everyone really hilarious inane text message (even poor cid raines) that are like TODAY THIS HAPPENED BLAH BLAH BLAH and some are probably incoherent and full of autocorrect. she'd text message fang when she was right beside her and no one would save hope ever. sorry hope.

[ontheclock]

so how does Vanille feel about moogles?

[allmiracles]

omg she thinks mog is the cutest thing ever. she's also aware that mog is out to help serah (and a lot of other people too, including lightning) and really respects that even though he's super tiny that he's totally doing his job despite it! the whole thing is really inspiring. sheeee also has a feeling that he's pretty depressed about what happened? because really, who wouldn't be? and treats his emotions just like she treats people emotions. so there's really no difference between how she emotionally supports others and how she emotionally supports mog even though he's a moogle!
