To anyone who thinks the 20 million gald thing in Xillia 2 is a joke
It’s not.
This man has to live in debt for absolutely no reason.
His only loyal sidekicks are an 8 year old girl and his cat.
And what does he get after he pays it all back?
Awkward bathing.
They don’t call this game “Tales of Crippling Debt” for no reason.
Alvin: *in a crowd and can’t find Jude*
Alvin: *uses hands as a microphone* Spyrite technology will never be successful!!
Jude: WHO THE FUCK-
Alvin: There he is.
There’s been a small buzz in the JP Tales fandom in light of Gintama animating Chapter 430 of the manga (The Difference Between Godly Games and Shitty Games is Paper Thin), mostly due to the timing of the episode (a few days after Tales’s 22th Anniversary) on top of all the hype and speculation surrounding the Tales stream this December 16.
In light of that, @tales_antenna on Twitter did some research on where else Gintama may have thrown in a Tales reference, and dug up a few gems. Credit goes to them for finding all of these!
Tales of Xillia 2 Catchphrase in Gintama no Sugoroku PV2
This time, it’s Sougo that does the honors. Who coincidentally shares a voice with Senel Coolidge from Tales of Legendia.
※ Note: Chapter 430 doesn’t only parody Tales, but also a few other games and takes a dig at Bandai Namco. Who lets them get away with it, being that they own Sunrise (the studio that animates Gintama) and produce the games based off the series as well.
Ignis went from “it is his calling and his destiny and it must be fulfilled. Noctis will end the darkness” to “I will burn down this whole god damn world myself before letting Noctis die for anyone!!!”
And honestly if this isn’t beautiful and character development then you gotta hop on this train and have a ride with us.
it’s perfectly fine to take your selfships seriously. really seriously, if that’s applicable. i know a lot of people in the selfship community don’t consider their relationships real or literal, but purely fictional (and still important, of course!). i know there are other people who worry that they take it too seriously, often because they consider their relationships in a much more literal sense, or even consider their f/o their real significant other.
that’s fine. it really is! it’s fine to be more casual about selfship. it’s fine to do it just because it’s fun. and it’s fine to consider these relationships real, or consider these characters your actual significant others.
there’s a lot of variation in the self-insert and selfship community, which is wonderful! but i think sometimes that can be scary, because nobody is sure what’s acceptable or “right.” ultimately, there is no “right” when it comes to selfship. it’s what works with you and what resonates with you. this isn’t anyone’s story but your own, and what you feel isn’t for other people’s consumption, it’s for you.
so if you say your selfships are just for entertainment value, that’s okay! if your selfship is your literal relationship, and you believe you’re truly dating your f/o, that’s okay too! there are a lot of people in the world and we’re all different. as long as what you feel isn’t causing you or anyone else harm, you have a right to feel that way, and you have a right to voice your feelings. no matter how “strange” it may be to other people, what matters is that it uplifts you.
♥*♡+:。.。 A reminder that when you look up out your window 。.。:+♡*♥
Your f/o is doing the same, they awake, remembering you, how much they love you and they look out to the same sky, wishing you were with them. They love you more than anything. Never forget that.
Okay so I was starting to get a little carried away, so here is Ignis and Gladio. If you guys would like to see the other bros just lemme know and I’ll get to work on that!! I hope you enjoy ^_^
Ignis
As Ignis walked through the door of the apartment a chilly gust of wind followed. A few snowflakes melted on the floor as they blew in, their lives cut short by the warm temperature of the room. Ignis sighed, his muscles weary from an exhausting day made worse by the constantly grey sky. How he wished to go back to a time when he felt the childish enjoyment of the first snow fall of the year. Now he did nothing but resent it. All the snow did was make traffic worse, his bones feel weak, and numb his nose.
Ignis heard the sound of dishes clinking together coming from the kitchen and a small smile graced his lips as he unwound the red scarf from around his neck. The next items of clothing to come off were his jacket and boots. Only then did he make his way further into the shared living space. He doubted he could ever grow to regret the decision of asking you to move in with him; getting to see you as soon as he got home after a tiring day allowed him to finally begin to relax.
“Good evening, darling, what are we having for….” Ignis trailed off in the same moment his eyes widened to twice their size. There standing in front of the kitchen sink was you. And while Ignis thought you were easily the most radiant person he’d ever laid his eyes on, the ensemble – or lack there of – that you were wearing had you entering an entirely new level of attractive.
Ignis had seen pictures of what had been labeled the “Virgin Killer” sweater courtesy of Prompto, but up until this moment Ignis had never found the article of clothing appealing. Yet here you were managing to make him change his mind completely. The poor excuse for a sweater you were wearing was black and you’d paired it with a pair of red heels. A diamond necklace Ignis had bought for you last Christmas was settled along the neckline of the sweater and the matching earrings dangled elegantly from your ears.
“Oh, welcome home, Ignis,” you said, eyes dancing with a mischievousness that let him know you knew exactly what your little outfit was doing to him. “Would you mind grabbing a couple of glasses? The chicken’s nearly done.” Your hands were still submerged in the soapy water in the sink while your eyes trailed Ignis as he made his way into the kitchen. He hadn’t uttered a word since he’d set his eyes on you but the way in which he conducted himself as he came to stand behind you spoke volumes.
“I think, my dear,” Ignis began, his voice husky as his hands settled on your hips. “Dinner is going to have to wait just a little longer.”
How would the chocobros react towards a s/o who doesn’t wear girly clothes??? She’s kind, sweet and all, but only wears jeans, shorts, sneakers, hoodies, that sort of clothing (kinda boyish). And someway, she starts feeling self-conscious about it. (Preferences) o3o
A/N: I actually always wear jeans, hoodies/nerdy t-shirts and converse, so it was pretty fun writing this because I feel identified 😛
Ignis:
Honestly, Ignis thinks you’re beautiful whatever you’re wearing. But he does often suggest that maybe you could wear a dress if you would like because you would look absolutely stunning in it. In time, because of his insistence, you get self-conscious about it but he soon apologizes and assures you that you’re the most beautiful person he’s ever seen no matter what, because he’s so in love with you.
Prompto:
Prompto usually notices everything, from a haircut to a new pair of shoes. And he always praises you about it. But he never really pays too much attention to what you’re wearing because he’s so smitten that he thinks you’ll look great even with a bag over your head. So naturally, he loses no time to comfort you when you get self-conscious about your boyish clothes. Because you look great in them, they’re stylish and they’re comfortable. He doesn’t want you to wear a dress or high heels if it’s gonna be annoying for you! Besides, he thinks you look absolutely adorable in an oversized hoodie.
Gladio:
Actually, he likes it! Even though he thinks girls that wear tight clothes and uncomfortable shoes do look pretty, he enjoys the change in your wardrobe. Because he can take you wherever he wants since you’re so comfortable in your clothes. How would he take someone on a hike with him if they’re wearing high heels, right? And he adores taking you on hikes with him! But he doesn’t lose a second in telling you how bomb you look with your usual clothes when you tell him you feel self-conscious about it.
Noctis:
You actually steal Noctis’ clothes very often. He’s always wondering where his favorite shirt went, or where that cozy sweater of his is. But he just knows you have them, and he adores it because when you eventually return them, they smell like you. You pretty much have the same taste in fashion and he loves it. Honestly, when you get insecure about it, he tells you that it’s kinda silly. Are you worried that people think you should be more girly? To hell with them, you can wear whatever you want! Especially if you look that good in just your jeans, shirt and converse!
YOUR F/O’S LOVE YOU SO FUCKING MUCH AND THEY ADORE YOU BEING HAPPY! THEY ARE SO LUCKY TO HAVE YOU CAUSE YOU’RE AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL AND WONDERFUL! THEY! LOVE! YOU!
Imagine Ardyn struggling in telling you his secret because he wants so desperately to share with you what he once felt he could never share with anyone…
…But he refrains.
In the last second, he reminded himself of what he’s about to do and that he would rather you see him as a man for as long as time allows before he reminds the world of the monster he really is.
If you play and get the WONDERFUL alternate ending, that means Episode Prompto didn’t happen because Noctis goes into the crystal right after/during the destruction of Altissia.
It also means we never go on the train, encounter Ardyn again, and never acquire Shiva/Gentiana as a summon.
I’m assuming the boys stay together and prepare for Noctis’ return and don’t break apart from each other like in the original ending
I’m also assuming that this allows the Comrades DLC to still be a part of this separate timeline
In Conclusion
Now I want Final Fantasy XV-2 where we can continue the journey and lives of King Noctis and his royal entourage Gladio, Prompto, & Ignis (ft. a now 25yo Iris, 17yo Talcott, 40yo Aranea, and a 38yo Ravus as they help rebuild Lucis as well as the rest of Eos
like, share, and reblog if you would play the everloving shit outta that.
I made that one ages ago as practice piece for various things but simply
forgot to upload it, between more recent works and other ideas that
just demanded attention.
The original thought behind this, was
Talcott’s comment that the boys were based mostly in Lestallum in the
ten years of darkness and maybe Ignis stayed there in the beginning as
well to get used to his handicap before heading out on his own. And
while he learned to see with his other senses, maybe Umbra was there to
keep him company or guide him a bit, until he went off to more important
tasks.
