A/N: Just a moment of comfort – just something to help you [and myself] get through the day.
Noctis: “Hey,” he reaches up, brushing your hair out of your eyes to look at you before he blushed a little, then reaches back, rubbing the back of his head. “I’m not the best with words but…you’re not alone, okay?”
Ignis: “I am not here to coddle you Darling,” a faint smile pulls at the corner of his mouth as he gently reaches up, petting a lock of your hair back behind your ear. “I am here for you however, in any way you desire it.”
Gladio: “Hey babe,” he frowns a little then dips his head, lightly kissing your cheek before he gently nuzzles his scruff against you, causing you to laugh a little. “Remember, I’m your shield too.”
Prompto: “A-ah,” he bit his lower lip a moment before he surged forward then wrapped you up in a hug from behind, resting his chin on your shoulder. “It’s ok to be sad, believe me, I’ve been there, but you’re not alone. Never alone. I promise.”
Five years pass and Cor realizes that he’s older than Regis now, even if his hair is still dark. Another five pass and Cor sees Gladio on the rare occasion he’s back in town, with his hair long and pulled back, just like Clarus’ was forty years ago when they were in Accordo.
Iris is the spitting image of Clarus when she grasps at her necklace absently, looking over maps and plans, clenching her jaw as she mulls over a strategy to target daemon spawn points.
And when Talcott pulls in with Noctis, Cor takes a moment to steel himself in the bathroom because he looks so much like Regis now than ever and when he catches his reflection, his short hair is now white like Clarus’ was in those last days and his birthday came and went and now he’s older than both his friends who have gone.
I’m revisiting Ardyn scenes for writing, and I realize he actually makes so many death threats but he just disguises them.
“The boats bring you here. Well, they’ll not take you forth.”
Then he proceeds to throw a coin at Noctis specifically.
Doesn’t that… make no sense? First time meeting the dude, and what’s the point of throwing a coin? Then it hit me: A boat won’t take Noctis, so he’s given a coin as an “allowance”.
Like… the ferryman to the underworld story?
In Greek mythology, Charon is Hades’ ferryman, who carries newly deceased souls across the river dividing the world of the living and the dead. If he does not take you on his boat, then you are forced to wander around the shores for a hundred years.
The price for the boat ride? A single coin.
So by giving this coin to Noctis when he is unable to board the boat, he is “allowing” him passage to the land of the dead.
HE BASICALLY JUST SAID DEATH AWAITS YOU AT ALTISSA AND WE NEVER NOTICED WHAT THE FUCK. OR IT WAS JUST A BASIC DEATH THREAT. OMG.
(Of course, the symbolism as a Sheild is also there, when Gladio is the one to protect Noctis from “death” by catching the coin.)
Square Enix is holding a “Final Fantasy 30th Anniversary Exhibition – Farewell Story Exhibition” from January 22nd to February 28th at the Mori Art Center Gallery in the Roppongi Hills complex in Tokyo. Among the many things on display, original scenarios have been created for Final Fantasy XV and Final Fantasy VII.
The display for Final Fantasy XV is titled “Phantom Wedding.“ It focuses on the wedding ceremony between Noctis and Luna showcased in the last scene of the game, and it features Regis, Prompto, Gladiolus, and Ignis as they speak gentle words of congratulations to the groom and bride.
@FFXVJP released an audio clip from the exhibition featuring Regis. You can listen to it in Japanese by following the source link, but for those who don’t understand Japanese, @shakkuris translated the audio:
Japanese audio: ノクティス、辛い思いをさせてすまない。これからのルシスをどうか、よろしく頼む。
English translation: Noctis, forgive me for making you bear all the painful memories. Please take care of the future of Lucis.
shakkuris also translated the message of the tweet:
(…… Can you hear me… Can you hear me… My wayward… Son… This is your father speaking… Right now… I am talking… Directly… To your heart… It is not the time… To neglect your journey and… Go fishing… Besides… I never named you… Noct Gar… Noctis… Do mind your manners… Around your dearest wife… At the #Phantom Wedding…)
Although the exhibition is not yet open, @FFXVJP and the press have provided mock-ups and photos of the exhibition. Furthermore, the mock-ups have the chocobros looking at the exhibition.
Mock-Ups
If you look closely, signs are in Japanese and English.
I think Noctis is really into butts, because he doesn’t have one.
He might actually make a little noise in the back of his throat, like you don’t understand how much this has improved his day
Gladio
Possibly has tears in his eyes. He’s the only one who likes ass as much as Noctis
Gives your butt a li’l slap when you manage to get your bottoms on
If you’re struggling with the pants and you get them on only to realize you have a hole in them, he’s gonna feel so bad. Like you just took him on an emotional roller-coaster
Ignis
“Do… Do you need help?”
Did you just make Ignis discover that he likes ass? (Hint: yes, you did)
He’s the only one who gets flustered enough to leave while you’re changing tbh. When you come out dressed, he’s aroused in the weirdest way
Prompto
Why don’t you just get a bigger size?? He’s genuinely confused
Now you’re explaining that when you have a big butt, buying pants is more complex than “I pull them up and now they can fit”. You have to worry about them fitting everything else too
He thinks the little hop you do to move things along is the funniest thing
Luna
“Why don’t you just wear a dress?”
Luna just wants to see the outline of your ass in a maxi-dress, she’s not fooling anyone
You were sitting on the couch, moping. Your first misson had gone terrible and you couldn’t help but to think about everything you had done wrong.
“Are you alright, Y/N?”, Hanzo sat down next to you and you immidietly hugged him.
“I was in the way the intire mission…”, you pouted. Hanzo lifted you up onto his lap.
“It was your first mission and you were doing your best.”, he kissed your forehead, “ There will be more missions to come where you can prove yourself.”
You snuggled into Hanzo’s chest as he hugged you tightly. You followed the lines of his tattoo on his arm with your finger as he played with your hair, you sat like this for the next hour.
McCree.
The ship had just docked and you were walking off when Jesse ran up to you and lifted you up in the air.
“Jesse! People are staring!”, you hissed at him. He chuckled at your flustered face.
“I missed ya, darlin’! How’d the mission go?”, he smiled.
“Not… great…”, you said as he put you down.
“Aw, don’t be like that. I’m sure you were doing your best.”, he rested his forehead on yours and you looked into his sparkling eyes.
“Thank you.”, you kissed him, “Now let’s get back to our room.”
“Don’t mind if I do!”, he grinned and picked you up. You yelped as he carried you away.
Junkrat.
You met up with Jamison at the ship.
“How did it go?”, you smiled tiredly at him.
“Great! How’d it go for you?”, he grinned back.
“Not… excactly as planned.”, you stopped smiling.
“You think?”, Hanzo said sarcastically.
“Ey, should really a guy with only half a shirt say that?”, Jamison said before you could stop him.
“You don’t even have a shirt.”, Hanzo raised an eyebrow at Jamison.
“Better than half a shirt.”, he let out a small “hmph”.
“That’s not… nevermind…”, Hanzo walked away to the other side of the ship. You giggled at Jamison’s heroic facial expression.
“I’m sure you did your best, sheila!”, he sat down next to you and you snuggled up against him.
Thanks, Jamie…”, you smiled.
Soldier 76.
You walked into your room. For once Jack had actually fallen asleep before you got home. You sighed and changed into your pyjamas and then sat down on the bed. Jack reacted to the movement of the bed and quickly sat up.
“How did it go?”, he said with a tired tone.
“Go back to sleep…”, you said and laid down. He laid down so you were facing eachother.
“How did your mission go?”, he asked again.
“Not great…”, you sighed and snuggled up against him. He took you into his embrace.
“You’ll get it next time…”, he kissed the top of your head.
“Are you sure?”, you looked up at him.
“Positive.”, he smiled.
“Thank you…”, you sighed and fell asleep in his arms.
He’s all business during the mission and does kind of a bad job acting like a loving husband at first. However, since it almost caused you two to be caught in a lie, you spend the evening lecturing him on proper behaviors and whatnot.
From then on, Jack is always very eager to jump into character and doing romantic things with you. He’d slow dance with you, compliment you on your looks, dab your cheek with a napkin during dinner, just cute stuff like that. He’d still refrain from kissing you though since he is far too modest.
He starts to realize his feelings when someone asks what your wedding was like. Of course, he had to make it up on the spot but as he started describing the ceremony, he started thinking that’s exactly how he’d like his wedding to be. He’d imagine you in a big, gorgeous white dress, the loving look in your eyes as you recite your vows… He gets a bit flustered when someone points out that dreamy look in his eyes as he’s telling the story.
When the mission is over, Soldier makes a little joke about not wanting it to end. It almost felt like a little vacation to him. He doesn’t outright confess his feelings to you but he does suggest the two of you go out to have some fun from time to time.
McCree:
Oh boy he is having a total ball with this mission. He’s doing a whole lot of lovey dovey flirting with you because he loves to see the reactions you make and you can’t argue about it because IT’S FOR THE SAKE OF THE MISSION BABYDOLL.
He gets really flustered when you start flirting back, though. He wasn’t expecting that at all. He is low-key swooning because he didn’t expect you to be such an awesome flirt. It soon becomes a competition over who can leave the other speechless and because of that, the mission goes without a hitch. The two of you were so OBVIOUSLY in love that no one bothered to mess with you, so yeah. Easy pickins.
When the mission is over, McCree realizes he feels kind of… disappointed? The mission itself wasn’t all too amazing, so it must have been the time he has spent with you!! The feeling he had when flirting with you, acting like a newly married couple… It was all just so sweet and heartwarming, he didn’t want it to go away. Not to mention he got to see a whole new side of you that he has come to adore!
On the way back from the mission, he’ll just bluntly ask you out on a date. No need to beat around the bush. He’ll admit he really enjoyed his time with you and would really like to get to know you even more.
Microsoft is bringing back Conker — to Project Spark
The trolling of long time Rare fans continues. Why Microsoft? Is this because Grabbed by the Ghoulies sold like shit? SMH.
The Conker Creation Pack will give Project Spark players approximately 300 Conker assets – characters, props, terrain materials, effects – inspired by Conker’s Bad Fur Day. Remastered original music and audio files will also be available to play with.
Developed by Project Spark creator Team Dakota with the Project Spark engine, ‘Conker’s Big Reunion’ will be an ongoing episodic series set ten years after after Conker’s 2001 adventure Bad Fur Day. The Conker play and create experiences will be available individually and bundled as digital downloads via the Project Spark marketplace on April 23. So yeah, Conker is back. Kinda sorta and not by Rare. It’s something.
Did you know..? If you type naughty words in the cheat box of Conker’s Bad Fur Day for nintendo64 you get some pretty funny commentary from the Devil Man.
Also, if you type in a wrong cheat twice in a row, the FDevil Man will say “Didn’t work the first time, ain’t gonna work the second time. DIP SH*T!” That has me cracking up every time!
My favorite Cheat: DRACULASTEABAGS(unlocks 50 lives)
you shouldn’t go around to random characters and asking them for deals bendy, you just might know who your going to be messing with.

God, I love it when people ask me to draw one of my OTPs ヾ(｡･ω･)ｼ These two always flow out so easily from my tablet pen…’cause they’re both so pretty ❤ Very soft <33
If you’re under 400lbs and 7ft don’t even talk to Mercy – look at her, she’s smitten j/k
The “fact” that junk food is cheaper than real food has become a reflexive part of how we explain why so many Americans are overweight, particularly those with lower incomes. I frequently read confident statements like, “when a bag of chips is cheaper than a head of broccoli …” or “it’s more affordable to feed a family of four at McDonald’s than to cook a healthy meal for them at home.”
this bullshit fills me with a very specific kind of rage. so, TIME TO DEBUNK!
that meal from mcdonalds takes virtually no time to acquire AND is available almost anywhere.
the second meal? that “salad” is lettuce … with nothing else, not even dressing unless its just olive oil or some milk i guess? gross.
also thats the price of each serving, not an entire loaf of bread, a bottle of olive oil, etc. that stuff adds up which means you have to have a lot of money at one time to buy it all.
that meal probably took an hour and a half to make, which is a long fucking time when you work multiple jobs or are caring for a lot of people or dont have help! seriously, if you are a single parent of three who works, is spending an hour and a half every night preparing a meal a likely option?
same with beans and rice! also, you know whats a fucking bummer? eating beans and rice every night because you are poor. ask any person who has done it and they will tell you (you can start with me).
there is a “nutrition” argument here that lacks a follow up: poor people are more likely to be doing physical labor and need more than 571 calories per meal.
you know who is less likely to know how to bake or prepare a chicken? people without access to the internet, or libraries, or who werent taught how to by their parents because their parents worked all the time. access to healthy foods is a classist issue and classism is cyclical, you fucking morons.
seriously, these sorts of infographics make me want to fucking flip tables. do you know why people don’t eat more fresh fruits and vegetables? because fresh fruits and vegetables are expensive, because they take a long time to prepare, because they dont live near a grocery store that has a decent produce section, because they dont have reliable transportation to get groceries to and from the grocery store, because they dont have the energy to plan all of the shit that is involved in making healthy, intentional, filling, balanced meals. basically: poor people get fucked, and then we get BLAMED for being lazy.
eating “healthy”, aka access to fresh fruits and vegetables, is a privilege, first, foremost, always. so fuck you new york times and your ignorant goddamn infographic.
there are SYSTEMATIC REASONS that we do not have equal access to fresh fruits and vegetables. they are very REAL problems. besides, you know, systematic poverty in america, the total mis-distribution of farm subsidies is a perfect place to start. read about that, then either get bent or start working on the actual problem.
In which fad dieters forget about the dollar menu
Also I just added it up and this is wrong for the mcdonalds prices?? Unless you’re ordering each item separately or some bullshit like that, maybe. I actually looked up the US prices for this too – a big mac meal is $5.99, and a Happy meal (which is what you should be ordering if you want a kid-size fucking meal as shown above) is $2.79 for a cheeseburger meal and $3.29 for a Mcnugget meal. That is $18.06 not $27 you absolute plums
There’s another side to these infographics that pisses me off as well. In addition to the very well explained points above, there’s the insistence that poor people just don’t know that fast food is expensive. Hint, we do.
Hi! My name is Pink. I’m poor. November and December have been particularly shitty months for us for a few reasons, so we’ll make it, but our grocery list has to be scaled back. We’re too poor for McDonald’s right now, and are lucky enough not to live in a food desert.
I just went grocery shopping for my family of four for a week and we’re under $5/meal. However, we bought 1 (one) fruit item for the kids to take to school in their lunches. Because fresh produce is fucking expensive.
We haven’t had bacon in months (since November, when it was a special treat for Thanksgiving, and then for months before that) because it’s fucking expensive. A whole chicken? Is too expensive for one meal. Think tinned tuna, hot dogs. Those are cheap. Peanut butter is a bit more expensive, but you can use it in basically every meal, so worth it.
IT IS TOO EXPENSIVE TO EAT HEALTHY. While it’s cheaper to eat at home than eating fast food (if you don’t live in a food desert), you end up going to bed at night feeling guilty about the amount of crap you’re making for your kids to eat because there’s still nutritional value in it somewhere.
Leave your classist bullshit at the door about how it’s cheaper to prepare your own food. WE KNOW. Either we can’t (because of the awesome points listed above) or we’re still feeding our kids nutritionally garbage shit at home because yeah, it is cheaper.
