Are you interested in exvalk, but don’t know where to start reading about them? Curious about which old stories that has Valkyrie and Ra*bits appearing together?

Now presenting: The Ex-Valkyrie Reading Resource!

This is intended to easen access to and guide newer readers to read more about exvalk - and to offer a view of their relationship outside of merely the events of Marionette. The stories listed are in chronological order, so you can witness their evolution over time.

This page contains:

1. Relevant stories about exvalk

2. Relevant adaptions and media outside the stories that covers exvalk (starry stage, dream live, anime)

3. Relevant stories that covers interactions between Valkyrie and Ra*bits members

4. A WIP compilation of all the interactions between the members that has happened outside the scope of the major stories (ie "crumbs")

I've tried to the best of my ability to recover those links who are public, and allows linking to their work. Some stories are unavailable, but there are alternative ways of finding them. Usually, a quick google can do the trick. Don't let it discourage you from trying to read.

I've been proofing it so that it should be working on mobile view just as well as desktop view, but if any issue arises, please do @ me about it!

Have fun reading!

I heard the sound of my future breaking,

being stabbed into with a fork from above.

It gave birth to an irreplaceable past.

I couldn't say even one simple "thank you."

[02. SHU]

Until the very end,

I couldn't hear the dull sound of your sobs.

I'm a worthless, heartless grown-up.

Staring at your big, smiling eyes through the picture frame is the worst kind of goodbye.

At least a third of Marionette would have been avoided if Nazuna had set up a voicebank back during his first year

I think one of the most insane Re:vale things is how they somehow managed to create a compelling dynamic for both old and new Re:vale. Maybe it's because I'm in a small circle but what other fandoms can boast loving an old version and new version equally while being narratively satisfied with how the old version ended?

#its insane really #and yeah it was inspired by the recent gifs i rb #also its the genius of the writer again #making us love the dynamic between yuki and momo and then hitting us with the backstory #AND resolving it in the current arc #REALLY hit the 'change is scary and painful but not always bad and sometimes for the better' theme #idolish7 #note's notes #fandom spamdom #okay not to enstars compare but i constrast this to ex valkyrie and five eccentrics #whoch btw i know nothing about exvalk except that castle made of sand slaps so perhaps i wont compare #but theres a comparative essay somewhere there too #anyway the biggest difference to me is that the five eccentrics are my beloveds and ill always despair over them #different flavour of banyuki breakup

[gurorori]

bein' completely honest here i have considered npd shu be4 soooo often cause the. the shoe fits (laugh please), i feel like his past & family environment cld really serve as a push, in the end cluster Bs r all jus' sets of survival & coping tactics ya adopt into yr personality as a result of unjust treatment & trauma <- this is true

nawt 2 armchair diagnose him but like we shall go over sum npd traits. cause we kno here it ain't jus' high self esteem (when the opposite is usually evident)

↓↓↓

intentionally or nawt i feel like exvalk shu especially fits the npd mold like dat was his entire character conflict /lh (i miss him)

> a grandiose sense of self-importance

need i say anythin'. listen 2 like the first shu voiceline in ! it was literally 'i am the emperor of ymnsk academy'. .. doesn't he also go as far as 2 declare himself the god of this world? like ''kono sekai no kami da' i remember dat. oh & how much stronger & imposin' his timbre was compared 2 how much softer his voice is rn. he was very much self-focused even though it manifested thru valkyrie, he was distinctly treatin' the unit as his creation & his own creation only. the focus on the self is very real

> a preoccupation with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love

i feel like if ya know shu ya will nod away at every single one of these cause. pre-fall valk <- dat wasn' even a fantasy, i feel like he was really narc-thrivin' back then cause it was the reality, they WERE on top. (srry if ya came here 4 thorough analysis i don' do that round here i jus' show ya smth & we both nod solemnly) success, power, brilliance, beauty, even ideal love (shnz wink?) - exvalk shu is both a perfectionist & a maximalist i think he craved it all, an' even when he has achieved great success he jus' can't get enuff, leadin' him 2 get overconfident 2 the point where he was /dat/ oblivious 2 his own (& valkyrie's, but at dat time he saw valkyrie as himself only, & the rest as just an extension, a tool) imminent demise practically laid out in front of him.

> a belief that he or she is special and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people or institutions

this guy?

the guy who calls the general public philistines & views ppl who don' adhere 2 the same high standards he holds 4 himself imbeciles?

> a need for excessive admiration

the 'go on, praise me more!' guy? it might seem at first like he'd b too prideful 2 outright ask 4 external validation but if ya really look a bit into it, he's very reliant on it.. i think it gets amplified by bein' an idol too, bein' very self conscious of yr image. ofc mr oshisan wld find himself in a field where the entire point is 2 b the center of attention & appraisal.

> a sense of entitlement

i think this jus' circles back 2 every other point i made...!!!! exvalk shu is control & acknowledgment hungry. he wants 2 step on n crush the skulls of every1 who is unworthy & soar thru the skies on the mechanical wings of valkyrie.. or wtv. he is intensely focused on his goal 2 the point of tunnel vision cause he fully believes himself 2 deserve the throne. no1 else can b above him. he despises 'commoners' & those below him yet who brought him all the recognition & glory? wats the expression? rest on yr laurels? dunno if 'm usin' it correctly!!!

i also hope i don' come off as dramatisin' too much. like ik marionette is literally jus' one story but i feel it dat much stronger, i guess. 4 (introject) reasons. i hope these things don' read as a huge stretch.

> interpersonally exploitive behavior

> a lack of empathy

> envy of others or a belief that others are envious of him or her

gettin' lazy. i feel like this cld jus' b self explanatory... i don' wanna go in depth into every single one 4 shu, esp cuz. ya don' need every single criteria 2 match. 4 a diagnosis. but if ya have any specific moments 4 this one feel free 2 add on 👍🏼

> a demonstration of arrogant and haughty behaviors or attitudes

#mika caws #srry like half of these r me goin' 'well it's self explanatory' but it rly is. cause i know him personally. #an' likr all of ya kno him closely too. i don' need 2 wrte an essay. we all kno it's true. #but also i feel da need 2 mention the self esteem bit cuz i feel like its a stereotype dat those with npd have jus'. an unshakable solid #high self esteem which is why they behave & carry themselves da way they do. which is nawt even half of da truth! #while yehs usually 'high' it tends 2 b very fragile cause the things they rely on 2 upkeep it r all said factors like #specifically external validation. individuals w npd tend 2 b deeply insecure n self loathin' too & struggle w low self esteem as well #idk if the high self esteem bein' described as like a 'mask' or a false front is veryyyy correct in the case of npd #i ain't sure how pw/npd feel ab it either so hey if any1 come across it feel free 2 input #but yea i feel like dat bit of nuance is important esp when ya look at exvalk's imminent fall & how strongly it affected shu's entire #interior & exterior. like wow wat a narc crash... r ya ok queen #if any1 finds thjs thru any search stuffs like. pls keep in mind this wasn' meant 2 breach containment #oh an' if sum parts of jt R indeed a stretch idgaf. so many of my exomemories focus on the exvalk period specifically so it's very saturate #in my head. i wasn' writin' this balls deep in marionette i was jus pullin' wat i have in storage
