Traveling Companions Au - Tumblr Posts
Are there any quirks that sif picks up from odile or vice versa? I imagine they both have VERY intense glares...
The glare thing is correct, he picked up the Odile Stare! Now instead of avoiding eye contact they bore into your soul! (Not unlike act 5 Siffrin. But, y'know ALL the time)
Lots of gem-based exclamations too, along with some other Ka Buan words he picked up. I feel like Siffrin heard Odile swear once as a kid and never let the word go.
She doesn't realize it before the loops, but she figures it out extremely early when Siffrin starts looking into the forgotten island during them. Kind of like... an extra Sus Quest? She finally puts two and two together when Siffrin starts talking about running away from home, but decides to drop that information on them once they beat the King.
She feels, just a tiny bit stupid for not realizing before. I imagine it's very satisfying to get some answers out of your enigma of a traveling companion.
Part of the reason she never realized is that Odile sort of just... stopped looking for answers about a year after she met Siffrin. The idea of him suddenly finding his family or finding his home and losing her strange little ward forever was a bit of a secret fear of hers. So subconsciously she just started shrugging off the mystery, fearing that she may not like the answer. (It is something she feels extremely guilty about.)
Abandonment issues!
What would a traveling companions but Odile loops au look like? Or one where they both loop?
Ohhh boy. An Odile loops au combined with Traveling Companions would be rough. Especially if Loop is still a factor here. Because, imagine that? Your mentor/kinda maternal-figure just doesn't recognize you anymore? Changing so much that you become a stranger in the eyes of your closest companion? Yikes!
If they're both looping... I feel like they'd figure out the problem pretty quickly tbh. Or at least Odile does.
Does Sif ever consider telling odile about the loops??
They get close! Since they're so used to going to Odile for help. Either they chicken out or they go through with telling her and it goes so wrong (in their eyes) that they loop back immediately and vow to never tell her anything ever again.
He also feels guilty about how much they've relied on her throughout his life. Because how dare he need things as a child???? Absolutely unforgivable.
post canon, would sif dye their hair black again just to see if others would comment on how they look like their "mom"? or is he gonna embrace that unknown heritage with white hair
Nah. Post-canon Siffrin mentions dyeing his hair again, and the next day Odile dyes her hair white instead.
no please white hair odile would be awesome,,,, helps cover up the light hairs growing in lmao
It's sitting somewhere in between cool and cursed for me.
*Slams hands on table* MORE LITTLE FRIN.
Mrow.
doodle request!! would love to see more young adult odile from your traveling companions au
(Closeup of my favorite doodle from this batch)
it took her 3 decades to look this gorgeous
If I may be so bold could. I request
Young adult Odile and smol. Siffrin camping
Hm. In this au, Odile would've had to live through Siffrin's teen years.
Foiled.
If I may be so bold could. I request
Young adult Odile and smol. Siffrin camping
I think we need to see medium Siffrin (teen Siffrin) in the au
She regrets teaching them how to read in languages that still exist
okay, okay... hear me out.... traveling companions au and partners in crime au-
LISTEN, listen... it could go a couple ways, but essentially, siffrin meets odile and then the king before any of the freezing vaugarde.
I cannot imagine Odile going along with the King's plan for even a second. Maybe... Siffrin joins up with the King and he and Odile separate. Odile still joins Mirabelle's party and has to be like, "Oh yeah my traveling companion is being really dumb right now and is actively trying to kill you but please don't hurt him–"
I dunno. There's probably some good angst there.
Im not sure my brain has decided that Siffrin just doesn’t have a hat in the Traveling Companion au. Idk. Just vibes I guess.
Im dead certain that while Odile is in denial about being a mother-figure, she ended up perfecting the Mom Voice because she raised Sifrin. "Young man" is perhaps the two most terrifying words Sifrin can ever hear
Oh absolutely! She brings out the ‘mom voice’ in act 4 when she confronts Siffrin about their strange shift in attitude and Siffrin feels fear for the first time in like 40 loops.
or the tone loses its weight after hearing it so many times hehe
I also accept this take.

You reckon Odile's the type to talk to herself? If so, thought up of this heartbreaker!
When they were younger, Sifrin appears asleep by the campfire one night. Odile just murmurs something in the saddest voice along the lines of;
"I'm no parent, but this kid's choosing to stay with me? Why me? There's nothing warm about me and he needs that. I cannot be anything like that...anything that he needs. This poor kid picked wrong and doesn't even know it"
Unbeknownst to her, Sifrin heard it all. And thus he's set on proving her wrong, that he believes she can be a good parent-adjacent person for him?
I dunno, im new here and my brain is weak for these kinds of AUs and its very easy to get me rambling ^^"
God you guys always come up with such good ideas I LOVE this!
Does sif start to put any importance on gems or stones? Odile is likely pretty fond of them, so does it pass down?
Probably! I haven't done a proper drawing of adult Sif in this au but I plan on giving him some nice gem earings.
regarding this post
maybe siffrin doesnt wear a hat because its easier for odile to ruffle hair
Canon.
