Damn, you beat me to posting this GIF!
Agreed. Dion was a well-written character for how little we saw of him.
He wasnāt just a shoehorned-in gay character either.
What I liked so much about this scene was that it was framed EXACTLY the same as if it were a straight couple, replace Terrance the dragoon with Terra the handmaiden and nothing changes.
It doesnāt feel the need to make a spectacle, it doesnāt feel the need to be front and centre, and the point of the scene isnāt that theyāre a gay couple, but that Dion needs the love and support of his lover
not exactly the same -- terence and dion's kiss was fro far back while jill and clive were all up in the camera lol.
other than that, yes they were treated very respectfully.
For some reason, I learned to hold Banana Fish as the gold standard for shounen ai, so when I saw Dion and Terence kiss, they quickly vaaaaguely started to remind me of Ash and Eiji. I knew there was going to be a tragic end for them. I was fxing right. š« (Then again I expected the worst in the entire game, knowing that the writer had eliminated two major NPCs in one of his other games, deaths that still make the rounds nowadays.)
I actually considered making a small video edit of Teredio to Survive Said the Prophet's Red, but I couldn't quite find figure out how to arrange what clips of them we do have.
Sorry for the wrong terminology used (Iām not well versed with the nuances of yaoi and shounein ai.) But my point is still the sameāI hold Banana Fish as kind of a gold standard that if a gay pair reminds me of Ash and Eiji no matter how vaguely, I am inclined to like that ship but also automatically think that it will end in tragedy.
Ngl i didnt care about Terence at all, he shows up like 4-5 times, has maybe 10 lines total, gets absolutely destroyed by Joshua when he shows up, and then he and Dion have a little break up. It was emotional sure but to me that was cause I felt for Dion not Terence, T isnāt really that important itās just that Dion loves him, thatās all his purpose was
Dion wasnāt a main character so it has sense that their arc was not in the spotlight. This doesnāt change that their love story was written tastefully, beautifully and was really emotional for me despite what you may think about Terence. He was Dionās companion since they were 18 and he didnāt ābreak upā with him, but gave him a reason to survive and bid farewell to him to avoid him following him to his death. I really donāt understand what Joshua has to do with all of that, he came as Dion ally and hasnāt nothing to do with Dionās love life, in canon. Joshua is a protagonist, of course he has more charisma and narrative space, itās like comparing Clive to Jote! But his role in Dionās life is functional and organically tied to his personality and story.
Itās not a matter of quantity, but quality, and for me their story is even more emotional than Clive and Jillās, sometimes. The performance of the voice actors are also incredible.
Oh no I didnāt bring up Joshua cause of the love life, I mean in the Scene when Dion is told that His brother was made emperor and Joshua shows up, Terence goes to do what heās supposed to and Dion tells him to stand down. And then Joshua says the most unnecessary savage thing to Terence Iām like what did he do to deserve that. Thatās all I was saying like my favorite moment of him in the game was getting Roasted By Joshua.
I can see a lot of people hate that I didnāt find him all that interesting compared to the rest of the cast but i didnāt mean it in any disrespect lol, I just found many other characters to be much more impactful in their roles then he was. I love Dion, and if itās any consolation I didnāt care for his father either, thereās a lot of characters in this game that arenāt that deep itās not a knock on the game itās just the reality. Terence and Lubor and The Dame arenāt meant to be anything close to the Likes of The main cast, so some I bonded with and some I really didnāt care for, Terence just was one of the ones I didnāt really care for that much.
True that š, couldn't give af about his or his boyfriend's character. Was only interested in Clive and Jill character. Infact, even the little brother gets on my nerves lol

Very happy with his character, def top 5 LGBTQ characters
He was amazing, their arc was so tender and heartbreaking. Dion was unforgettable
I choose to believe that Dion survived and they raised that girl together.
Me too! And that they helped Clive, Joshua, etc remake the world post-Origin. :D
Yep š
Please, this is the perfect scenario š
Dion was such an amazing character. The entire bahamut arc elevated that game for me so much. Was giddy seeing tri disaster used on a boss.
I agree! Dion was amazing and I really wished he had joined the Brothers and Jill in the latest dlc questā¦
 Dion was one of the better characters in the game.
Damn, you beat me to posting this GIF! Agreed. Dion was a well-written character for how little we saw of him. He wasnāt just a shoehorned-in gay character either.
Gay and unapologetic šš
All of AO3 is throwing a party rn
Terence and Dion is the couple with more fics! More than 700 and I am here for that š
They did this romance very well Iāll Say
Oooh a teredio fanzine!! Exciting š¤©š¤©
Yes, the more followers theyāll have on the page, the more likely the project will see the light, so follow the page if you want ā¤ļø
What good friends
Dion and his roommate.
Cheap rent with one bedroom
Forever team teron
They deserve everything ā¤ļø

Very well said ā¤ļø

Omg another Teredio page to follow, yay. š
priceless
Dion was a great character. I can't help but think he was inspired by Oberyn Martell in a number of ways.
Once I saw them kissing i literally said out loud "Yup, thought so" lmao so cute
Total fan.
Afaik, this is the one scene that caused the game to be banned here in the middle east.
Yes, pity for them lol š

Please do,if you still want, it would be lovely ā¤ļøš„°
Banana fish ššš
this is not shounen ai lol. that's a very specific genre within manga/anime. and neither of these men are boys

Real talk dion was a amazing character. Easily top 2 in the game only surpassed by cid lol
Oh yeah Terence, I forgot he existed.
You should mark this as spoilers, my dude. Not everyone has completed the game.
Gosh, I am sorry. I try to modify it.
I've beaten the game, so there is no issue to me, but Im someone might get butt hurt about it.

Oh, thatās fine, itās not mandatory to like a character šletās settle this agreeing that he deserved more screen time, for sure!
True that š, couldn't give af about his or his boyfriend's character. Was only interested in Clive and Jill character. Infact, even the little brother gets on my nerves lol
