Name/Nickname: Jeredu, Jeru, Jer

Favorite Tales: Tales of the Abyss, Tales of Xillia (1 & 2), Tales of Destiny, Tales of Symphonia. I also like Tales of the Rays, Vesperia, Zestiria, Graces- tbh, I haven't found one I hate yet.

Favorite Characters: Jade, Guy, Ginji, Luke, Asch, (I like all the Abyss mains tbh), Chaltier, Stahn, Leon, literally the entire playable cast of Xillia 1/2 with special mention to Gaius, Ludger, Alvin, Milla, Balan....

Favorite Ships: Peony/Jade, ????->Jade, (unrequited) Ginji/Asch, Guy/Asch, Asch/Natalia, (unrequited) Dist/Jade, (tbh tho I am fine with most/any abyss ships, especially as temporary arrangements. They can be fun to discuss/write/draw...), Chaltier/Leon, Stahn/Leon.... most xillia ships involving Ludger (GaiLudger, LuJu, Ludger/F!Milla...) but also Milla/Jude/Alvin (in that order)... look, I could go on. I'm a multishipper. It's shorter to list what ships I don't like, or just ask me :) I have AU-specific ships, even... like Peony/Jade/Jasper.... Gaius/Jade... :') I will read just about anything, though. I also love ensemble cast/found family/genfic.

Other Fandoms: Less active in all of these - Kingdom Hearts, The Legend of Zelda, Shinzo/Mushrambo, FMA, Final Fantasy (mostly VII and XII), Trigun, probably others I'm forgetting about. Lots of things I enjoy but don't really get involved with fandom... like Pokemon.

How do you enjoy your fandoms? FANART, but sometimes fanfic, roleplay (mostly private, on Discord). These days I swear it's 90% tales crossovers involving art/fic/collaboration with friends. To be honest, discussion is one of my favorite ways to enjoy fandom with friends.

Anything else to share?

I love character analysis, worldbuilding, meta, and useless fun things. I draw a LOT of tales stuff because I love to share the love around. I am not a [game/character] apologist, and a lot of the above are things I love knowing some have glaring shortcomings ahaha. You won't hurt my feelings if you don't like the things I like, and I would still enjoy discussing them. TBH talking with friends who share different viewpoints has really helped me develop a greater appreciation for some characters or games I used to feel lukewarm about at best, so I really welcome conversation. I won't attack someone just because they can't stand a ship or character I happen to like, and vice-versa. U ruukun dotouvu pomusu emudou touyatiairiguya gegusu. Ufu yaio waemu din'edou tiausu, shi ji yaio.

Note: I am still lurking around on tumblr for the foreseeable future, but you can also find me on Twitter and AO3.

When I scrolled this meme I had a feeling I'd seen your username before, and I realize now that a few of my friends absolutely love your fics. One of them is a massive Peony/Jade fan and (while I haven't read the fic myself yet!) was completely wrecked by the latest chapter of your xillia (i think?) / abyss crossover lmao. Thank you for that, it was really cute to see the reactions it gave her!

But man it's so nice to see people around who still love Abyss! I feel like it's popularity really dwindled away with these new, shiny Tales games so it's super reassuring. I absolutely adore headcanons and canon discussions, so I feel like I'd really enjoy your works. Now that I'm getting back into fandom I'm gonna try and give your stuff some attention.
