do you ever get cuddle frustrated? Not sexually frustrated, but just get really frustrated and asdfghklg because you’re not cuddling someone right now and you just really need to feel someone with their arms around you and bury your face in their neck and just feel them close
I’ve only beaten Noctis once and there are probably better strats but here we go:
Don’t even bother trying to use Ignis’s special moves to deal damage, especially not High Jump.
The chances are that:
Noct will dodge
Noct will warp to the next fucking continent over while you are in the stratosphere and will be nowhere near where you left him when you land
It will hit, but Noct will counterattack your ass into FFXVI
This is especially true for once you enter Noctis’s second phase. You will need your special gauge and I’ll explain why!!
On my second try at this fight, I got Ravus. I tried to spam his special attack since it did a lot of damage, but that left me wide open to the armiger and I died -__- Thanks @Ravus
There are two ways to deal damage to this veggie-resistant little tire fire Noctis:
To let him hit you and counterattack
Counterattacks honestly do the most damage, so they are the most effective way to hit Noct– and they recover HP, so it’s a win-win
(Tbh I never went out of my way to let Noctis hit me because I’d usually end up with such low HP that I’d either have to blow through healing items or end up in the danger state)
To exploit Noct’s counterattacks and chip away at his health
This was the strategy I used and honestly I recommend it
The idea is to get right up in Noct’s face, hit him until he blocks your attack, and then dodge roll when he counters. But don’t go anywhere– as soon as you dodge around behind him, start hitting him again. Usually, he’ll block your attack again, and counter, allowing you to dodge, get behind him, and hit him some more. It doesn’t do nearly as much damage as Ignis’s counterattack, but Noct’s counters are predictable and easy to dodge. It’s much safer than risking missing a counterattack prompt and ending up with half HP
The idea is to trap him in a loop of blocking, then countering. You’ll end up in a rhythm that’s predictable, easy, and safe
Be careful when Noct has the shield, though. He completely blocks damage and his counter is fast and hits really hard. I’d usually stay out of his way when I saw he’d equipped the shield
You’ll quickly learn what each of Noct’s counters looks like depending on his weapon of choice, so you’ll learn which way to dodge as you play
When you’re first trying to trap him in the loop, keep your finger on the dodge button; it might take a couple of tries before he blocks
When Noctis performs an armiger chain:
HIGH JUMP INTO THE CLOUDS, MY FRIENDS. NOCT WALKS TALL AND YOU HAVE TO BE TALLER
Honestly it’s your best hope. As soon as you see Noct shift into dead ancestor turbo, mash the appropriate buttons to get Ignis to wiggle his ass and peace on out of there. It takes Noct the equivalent of two High Jumps to complete the armiger chain attack, but if you took my advice from earlier, you should have a full special meter anyway to make three jumps if you need extra time to kinda cheat??? dodge
This is probably obvious but just in case you didn’t know, grappling up to a higher level is the best way to get away when Noctis pretends to be Prompto for a minute casts Gravisphere
What to do when Noct starts to use the Ring to turn Ignis into a bespectacled spaghetti man:
YOU GET IN THERE AND BEAT HIS ASS
No seriously don’t try to run away because your speed is reduced to that of an FFXV loading screen
Once you stop him from using the ring, he kind of stands there for a few moments. YOU PUT THE FEAR OF GOD IN THAT BOY DURING THIS TIME. GET IN AS MANY HITS AS YOU CAN
The longtime CDC analyst, whose job includes writing descriptions of the CDC’s work for the administration’s annual spending blueprint, could not recall a previous time when words were banned from budget documents because they were considered controversial.
The reaction of people in the meeting was “incredulous,” the analyst said. “It was very much, ‘Are you serious? Are you kidding?’ ”
“In my experience, we’ve never had any pushback from an ideological standpoint,” the analyst said.
News of the ban on certain words hasn’t yet spread to the broader group of scientists at the CDC, but it’s likely to provoke a backlash, the analyst said. “Our subject matter experts will not lay down quietly — this hasn’t trickled down to them yet.”
The CDC has a budget of about $7 billion and more than 12,000 employees working across the nation and around the globe on everything from food and water safety, to heart disease and cancer, to infectious disease outbreak prevention. Much of the CDC’s work has strong bipartisan support.
Kelly told the analysts that “certain words” in the CDC’s budget drafts were being sent back to the agency for correction. Three words that had been flagged in these drafts were “vulnerable,” “entitlement” and “diversity.” Kelly told the group the ban on the other words had been conveyed verbally.
Art Critic: the skull in the corner is artfully placed on the periphery of vision to symbolise the omnipresence of death, important thematically to the artist’s conception of life and mortality.
Actual Artist: aw shit, I got all this negative space, guess I’ll stick a skull there that looks pretty rad.
I painted a copy of Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring for a class in college, and when I displayed it for review the professor was like, “Are you making a statement about materialism by not painting her wearing the actual earring?”
And that, kids, was the first time I ever cursed in front of a teacher.
The painting is called The Girl with the Pearl Earring, and I forgot. To paint. The damned. EARRING.
Don’t be afraid to make mistakes in your art or craft because the viewer will, almost certainly, assume it was intentional and assign it a better meaning than you could have thought of on your own. Art is collaborative, even in the most unexpected ways, ahahaha.
Summary: You agree to join the boys on a hunt, but it doesn’t exactly go as planned.

A/N: Hey everyone! I’ve been completely obsessed with FFXV lately. I have over 100 hours logged on it and it’s just…amazing. I’m totally in love with the characters and everything so look forward to more FFXV fics after this one, I have a lot of ideas!!
A little note about the fic: I was thinking about how the potions and such the boys use are just normal energy drinks that Noctis infuses with his magic, so the idea came to me that a regular person (a hunter in this case) wouldn’t know they existed, so I decided to run with that. Hope you enjoy! 🙂
When the boys ask you if you want to come hunting with them, you don’t know how to react. It’s not the thought of fighting beasts– you, in fact, are a seasoned hunter yourself –but the thought of fighting side by side with them. It means they trust you. It means your friendship with them is something more than just meeting up for lunch every now and again or making small talk whenever they show up at Meldacio. This time, though, you’re in Leide, freshly finishing up hunting down a rather problematic couple of dualhorn. Apparently, the boys are about to hunt down a behemoth which, honestly, scares you a little bit. One of your good friends had been killed by one a while ago, and they still made your stomach churn. Regardless, you agree to help. You know they’ll probably need an extra hand.
Can we just take a minute to appreciate Prompto? I mean he looks like pure sunshine and cinnamon but takes SELFIES literally RIGHT IN FRONT OF GAPING JAWS OF DEATH. This little shit is BRAVE.
This sweetheart will make sure you feel loved and appreciated.
• After he made sure you were comfortable with it, he’d want to sleep/cuddle with you as soon as possible
• Expect tickle wars and him jumping on top of you
• He was starved for attention when he was younger, and he still has insecurities hidden behind his playfulness
• So when you were both laying there together for the first time, chest to chest with his arms around you and his legs tangled through yours, and each others hair messed up from a previous tickle fight, he was crying
• You thought something was wrong at first, but then he explained that he was just so happy to have you and that you of all people loved him
• He just didn’t understand it, but you then you explained to him all the things you loved about him and that he was perfect the way he was
• Cue more tears, along with the biggest, cutest smile you’ve ever seen on his face
• So every time you sleep together, he’ll say “Good night lovie” or “I love you” combined with pet names over and over just so you know he really really loves you
• He may be shy, but when he’s asleep, he’s the definition of clingy
• Likes to be the big spoon, burying his face into his s/o’s hair with his legs tangled through theirs, and an arm wrapped tightly around them so he can feel them close
• Run your hands through his hair with his head on your chest and he will m e l t
• He rarely talks when you are just settling in to go to sleep, but when he does it’s usually important
• This is when he really opens up to you
• After sleeping with his s/o a couple times, he’d be almost completely dependent on their presence to sleep well
• Like, at the very least he needs to have something with your scent
• He still only sleeps well when he can feel you safe with him and close
• When he slept alone he would cuddle pillows, and will now if you aren’t there
• You can bet he’s been teased for it
• He talks in his sleep
• Whenever you move, he instinctively will try to pull you back to him
We reached 600 followers somewhere down the way, and I guess it’s time for me to admit that I’m way too into meta asf kinda shit. And I love my girls @louisvuittontrashbags and @diabolik-trash-heap. So they are victims in what I’ve made.
This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever written. This isn’t even trying to be quality. And NO ONE asked for this.
But I did it anyway.

“This is way better than VR fishing.”
LV shrugged and continued looking at the quaint menu in front of her. “I agree, sis, but I wasn’t lying when I said my thirst was strong enough to fish just to get closer to Gladio.”
“Thanks to that one spell in that witchcraft tomb I found in a sketchy ass bookstore, now I guess we don’t need to spend money we don’t have on that shit,” Hypaa picked up her cup of Ebony, took a sip, and immediately winced. “GOOD FUCKING LORD, this puts some hair on your chest. Is this why he’s so fucking snarky all the time? Because I feel my sass levels increasing the more I drink this.” She pushed the cup in front of Dia. “You try it. Pretend it’s Ardyn’s black daemon goo and knock it back.”
Dia rolled her eyes and took the cup, giving it a sniff. “Not putrid enough to be daemon jizz, but I’ll take one for the team.”
Just a little drabble I found outlined in my drafts that I had never finished. Enjoy!
Fem!Reader x Chocobros Rated T for teen and up
The hot water washing over you was the best thing you could ever remember feeling. What started out as a “quick trip back to Hammerhead” ended in five days of camping, 33 disgusting hours in a sewer, a battle with a dragon, and a drive through the night with new headlights to Galdin Quay. The boys had decided on three nights and two full days of recovery and you couldn’t agree more. Sponge baths and filching Ignis’s Ebony only got a gal so far.
Finishing up your shower, you threw on the only clean clothes you had – a plain white tank top and some cotton underpants – and stepped out into the spacious shared room. You had drawn last shower so the boys were already clean and lounging around the room, dinking around on phones or reading the shitty hotel travel magazines. Prompto glanced up as you walked past him to gather your filthy clothes for laundry servicing and let out a strangled noise. You looked up at him quizzically.
He scratched at the back of his neck, looking away and flushing brightly. “Uh…wouldn’t you be more comfortable wearing…like a little more? They might have robes at the desk?”
You felt your jaw set and you glared daggers at him. “Are you fucking kidding me, sunshine boy?”
“Huh??” He looked at you quickly and grimaced at the look on your face.
You stood up and slowly started walking towards where he sat on the end of a bed. “I have had my breasts bound for six days straight. Since traveling with you gentlemen, I’ve seen three out of four of your cocks, five out of eight balls, and every single one of your asscracks. I can identify each person’s gas by smell and I’ve been “accidentally” spooned by two of you in the tent. And THIS is where the line is? I don’t fucking think so.” By the time you were finished, you were bent over Prompto, who was forced to drop back onto his elbows and looked positively terrified. You took a deep breath and stood up straight before going back to sorting your clothing.
Prompto started sputtering, looking for anything to say. But it was Gladio who piped up first. “Just so we’re clear, I have no issue with your clothing choice. And also, spooning you was only an accident until I woke up.”
You didn’t even glance up at him. “Yeah I know.”
Prompto finally got ahold of himself and muttered an apology, but looked at the other three boys in turn, seeking support. Gladio patently ignored him. Noctis just shrugged and went back to his phone. Finally he looked to Ignis who simply said, “She has a point you know.” And then after a pause, “Who was the other accidental spoon?”
So since I’m so greedy for these chocobros, I decided to write a little scenario of all the bros trying to comfort a crying s/o. Yes, all of them. I can’t have just one… (Still new to writing, excuse any of my mistakes and enjoy! ^^)
Ignis is going to be the first one that notices that you’ve been crying, due to his parental like instincts of constantly watching over you and the guys. He’s going to instantly notice somethings up even though you try your best to hide it. He’ll start with getting you comfortable on the couch with a blanket and go into the kitchen to make some tea for you. Once the chocobros start to notice what’s happening, expect to be engulfed in a cuddle pile with the rest of the bros. Gladio is going to make you sit between his legs, so he can wrap his arms around your stomach to warm you up and relax. Noct is probably going to be to your left giving you a side hugs/cuddles that ultimately ends up in a banter with Gladio saying he’s hogging too much of you. Prompto on the other hand found the perfect spot at the foot of the couch on the ground where he can rest his head on your lap and try to comfort you with his words. Once Iggy comes back with tea he going to sit on your right and he’s not even going to try to cuddle you that tangled mess, so he’ll opt for just holding your hand and rubbing small circles to stop your trembling. Their full attention is on you and if you don’t feel comfortable talking to them now they won’t pry on it for too long. The T.V will be switched on and their entire activities for the night will be yours to decide, video games, movies, or random videos online; you name it, and you all will have fun no matter what. The bros will do their best to get your mind off of whatever was bothering you. You guys will probably end up passing out, or going for an all nighter till dawn feeling groggy in the morning, but it’ll be worth it.
Basically headcanons about the boys cheering up and spoiling the reader during a bad day? Absolutely, here it is (can never resist puppy eyes ;D)! Thank you!
Prompto:
As soon as he notices you’re having a bad day he forgets about everything else
The first thing he gives you is a tight warm comforting hug
Prompto tries very hard to cheer you up, mainly distracting you
This boy knows you well and is aware of the fact that you’ll talk about whatever is upsetting you when you’re ready
He things it’s his duty to make you happy again and he won’t stop until he sees you smile
Heck, he misses that beautiful genuine smile of yours!
He’ll offer you to do many things
“Wanna look at some pictures I took today, Y/N?”
“No? How ‘bout playing some videogames?”
“Not in the mood? Okay! Wanna watch a movie then?”
He understands that you don’t feel like doing anything
Prompto doesn’t get mad if you refuse to do stuff, of course
He just wants you to be happy so badly! He’s frustrated with himself
If nothing works he’ll just resolve to cuddle you
Just sitting in silence and giving you lots of affection
That alone improves your mood, it was what you needed
If that still doesn’t entirely work, he has some aces up his sleeve
As always, he’ll be super goofy and spry and lively
To hopefully pass his vibrant energy over to you
He will joke and goof around a lot to get you to smile
But one of his last resorts is tickling you
And if that still doesn’t work, he knows what to do
Dancing with you, just taking you by the hands and spin you around
None of you understand why, but it never fails to put a smile on your face and make you laugh
Maybe because he has tried so many things before, it just shows you how much he cares and reminds you that you can’t be sad with him around
Noctis:
He hates to see you stressed or sad
You’re usually so lively and smiley!
So it’s weird that tables have turned and now you’re the lazy and feeble one instead of him
You’re usually the one trying to get him to do stuff and not the other way around
He gets that you have reasons to be upset, but he hates it
You should never be sad, and he lets you know
“You don’t deserve to be sad, Y/N… Smile for me?”
Noctis is a bit awkward about it, though, and doesn’t really know what to do to change it since that phrase doesn’t work
Wanting to help you, he will focus all his attention on you
“Wanna talk about it?” He will offer, he’s ready to hear you out
The poor boy would feel a bit lost and would ask you what you need
He offers you hugs and food and ways to distract yourself
Noct asks you if you want to go out
When you say you don’t feel like it, he gets frustrated
What can he do?!
“Okay, then we’re gonna stay here and watch your favorite movie”
Because of course he knows which one it is and what snacks you want to eat while watching it
During the movie he hugs you tight and kisses your cheek
And strokes your hair and just gives you lots of love
“I’m not gonna leave you until I see you smile”
And he doesn’t break that promise
Gladio:
You’re sad, you say? Nu-huh, not on his watch
Gladio will start by giving you the best bear hug you’ve ever had
Then he will ask you if you want or need anything
First, he will try to find the source of your sadness
“Who do I have to kill, babe?”
“No one, Gladdy, I’m just having a crappy day”
“Still want me to beat someone? I will if that makes you happy”
He’s kidding, of course, he will joke like that a lot because it gets you to laugh a bit
Gladio will say the stupidest things ever just to get you to crack a smile
He offers you a hug, knowing you feel so safe and comfortable held in his strong and warm arms
He will then be the biggest sweetheart (even more so than usual) for the entire day
Gladio will run any errands you want and give you all the cuddles you ask him to
He spoils you on a regular basis, but that day you get absolutely anything you want
On top of all, he humbly brushes it off when you thank him for all he’s doing for you
“You don’t have to thank me, I’m not gonna let my Y/N be sad”
Decided to give XV another go and this time it managed to draw me in big time. …And my months and months of healing (and all the being DONE with people that implies) in XIV have given me an all new appreciation for Ardyn as the saltiest healer of them all, not gonna lie.
Now I just need to get the hang of that outfit from layer hell. Somehow.
Ardyn went bad because he played a healer in an mmorpg pls let this be canon
So this weekend I found myself chatting with an established
comic writer, he asked me about my interest in the matter and I told him I ran
a webcomic but before he could even respond I qualified it with;
“Well it’s a fan comic, I’m not a real comic
creator.” He was appalled.
“What do you mean you’re not a real comic creator?” He demanded. “Do you have a
comic?”
“Well yeah but its a fan comic its not a real-” He
literally put his hand on my shoulder to stop me.
“You have a comic. You made a comic. You’re putting in
the work. You’re a real comic creator.” He told me about how one of the
people he works with on a comic started by writing Mass Effect fanfiction even.
I’ve been thinking about that ever since.
I’ve thought about how many times I’ve heard myself and
other say things like, “Oh, I’m a writer but I write fanfiction not like
real writing.” And thats so bullshit, he was right.
If you write you’re a
writer, end of story.
I’ve been thinking about this again lately, I’m not always happy with my work but I’ve put hundreds of hours into the comic and that’s not something a lot of people can claim.
