Ardyn loses his memory but instead of turning all broody moody he just starts anew. And people simply roll with it? The bros sort of “adopt” their new charming asshole pal? There are still side effects though.

Kids in the streets will be like “Do the face! Do the face!” and the bros are like “NO!” and Ardyn just goes full Alice Cooper BECAUSE THE KIDS FIND IT HILARIOUS AND ALL THE ADULTS ALWAYS LOOK SO SHOCKED.

At one time they tell him about his car. “I HAVE MY OWN CAR?” He drives like a maniac now. They consider letting him drive the Regalia on a professional basis. For obvious reasons.

Also it’s about time for a new fashion style. He now wears Meteor Media shirts combined with that silly Chocomog carnival basecap AND BOY DOES EVERYONE SUDDENLY MISS THE OLD COAT AND FEDORA.

Sometimes he accidentally warps. Especially when he sneezes, so flu season is always weird.

He loves camping. Why does he love camping?

One time he got into a philosophical discussion with Kenny Crow. It was DEEP. Noct still has nightmares about that.

It was not as bad as the day when he ate a full cup of instant noodles BEFORE they told him that you need to add boiling water first.

Once he brought home a stray puppy. The bros nearly freaked out because it turned out to be a baby Behemoth. They had to haggle with him in order to set it free again. For starters he is now allowed a goldfish. We’ll see how that goes.

He loves being helpful. So when Iris asks if anybody has time trying out her new designs, he’s instantly down for it. And he makes anything look FABULOUS.

Sometimes when Iggy is cooking Ardyn will tell him to add an unusual ingredient, even though he cannot say why. And it always improves the taste.

He hates Skittles with a burning passion. They look like Smarties. Why are they not Smarties??

Ravus invites him to a play of Chess now and then. They are both equally good. Which is super frustrating. They can spend ours in silence over the board. Ravus never plays white. Which confuses Ardyn.

For Talcott’s birthday he caught a real cactuar. Talcott wasn’t allowed to keep it, and the bros spent 6 hours getting all the needles out of Ardyn, but it was totally worth it for the look on the boy’s face.

He doesn’t really get video games. Pacman is okay, but he always calls it “The fat chocobo game” and it’s driving Prompto insane.

One fine day Ardyn notices a grey hair on his head. And fine wrinkles around his eyes. They become more over the time. The bros are in their forties. The sun still rises every morning. Life is good.
