Noctis: -The King of Lucis and cuddles! Expect him to hold you until you bother get hungry. -Don’t worry about cooking! He will order in and bring the bags to you -He’ll suggest you shower or take a bath. It’s all about you. -He will try to give you a massage, but fails as his hands wander to plush breasts
Prompto: -Will have a cute little faux retreat ready for you -He’ll light your favorite candles and order your favorite meal. -Bless his heart, he tried to cook but it turned out to be charcoal this time -He’ll cuddle close and keep his hands to himself unlike the prince. He will sneak a peek at your cleavage though
Ignis: -Be ready for a gourmet meal when step across the door. No need to worry about calories tonight! -A bath is already prepared just as you like. Ignis even helps you get clean without any wanton winking. -After your bath you receive a full body massage with warm oils and a few gropes
Gladiolus: -This big guy will start with a long hug to bring your mind and body back to him. He doesn’t care how long it takes. It’s happening! -Expect a massage that may turn into therapeutic sexy times -If you are up for it he will take his best girl out on the town, if not then he will offer cup noodles half jokingly
Of course! I’m more than happy to do this for you! Hope it’s to your liking. ~Mod Junko
Noctis:
-Huge fan of sleeping in with you when the both of you can. The days can get hectic so when he has the chance to sleep in with you, he’s going to take that oppurtunity. Tons of snuggling under the covers, and bed hair in the morning.
– He’s actually not bad of a cook! He’s picked up a few good recipies from Iggy and from when he worked at his part time job. It’s a fun night when both of you can sit down and have a good meal together.
-Going out to fish! Sometimes just getting away from things and just going to a dock to just talk and take his mind off things with you really makes him happy.
Gladio:
– Ok, snuggling with this guy is like a heated blanket. Super warm, best snuggles all around. He’s basically a teddy bear, it’s wonderful.
– There’s going to be almost a library of books in your home or apartment. Anything from classic literature to books you may have bought him as a gift or a joke. Relaxing in the living room with a book in hand and talking to you about the book after a busy day training is relaxing to him.
– If you’re willing to to try, he’d be super excited to go camping with you just to get away for a bit from the city and just to enjoy nature.
Prompto:
– Video game nights! If you’re not good at games, he can show you the ropes of the game you’re playing. Don’t know how to get past that level on that game? He’s here to help! Want to beat him at a racing game? Challenge accepted.
– Will take you to all the scenic places where he can take photographs when you want to get out of the place for a while. You’ll see the most prettiest places in the city, or the lake. He’ll sneak in a couple of amazing pictures with you in them.
– Sometimes when he’s feeling upset, he’ll just come to you and just want to talk. Sometimes it’s deep and sometimes it’s not. He likes to listen to you talk and help him when he’s upset.
Ignis:
– You are going to be well fed at home, and if you take food with you to work, make sure no one tries to steal the food out of the fridge! He’ll teach you if you want to learn some of his recipes.
– Sometimes if both of you are reading or watching television, He’ll gently run his fingers through your hair. Simple touches here or there, before pulling you into him.
-Dates are rare, but are always a welcome one when his day is free from working with the group. He’ll take you to the best restaurants in town.
NOCTIS:
-Oooo boy, the moment he finds this out he is pretty pissed.
-Why didn’t you tell him that you were being pushed around?
-He’ll pretty much immediately question who the people are and why they’re doing this to you, his beloved smol boyfriend.
-If he sees it happening in front of him, he will casually approach you and the bully. Wrapping an arm around your waist or shoulders.
-Totally stares the person down until they get the hint and leave, unless he needs to get physical, then he will.
-Uses his royal status if needed, just to make sure no one messes around with you and asks Ignis what kind of actions he can take if the people have physically harrassed you.
PROMPTO:
-Immediate comfort. He knows what it’s like on a uncomfortable level to be bullied or pushed away due to being kind. Even if it was on the opposite spectrum, cause he was more of a pushover than just being overly nice.
-Will ask if you want him to do something about it. The last thing he wants is to start something that’ll get you hurt or upset you.
-If it happens around him, he will simply remove you from the situation as quickly as possible.
-Definitely won’t let you go anywhere near the person/people and vice versa.
IGNIS:
-Won’t process what you’ve told him at first. Why would anyone bully someone over their being kind? His logical mind can’t understand that.
-Will comfort you if you want it, if you want space though, he is more than willing to give you that too.
-If he learns the people/person have harmed you or harassed you physically. He will immediately take legal action. Get all the restraining orders and other things possible.
-Once or if, it happens around him, he will not hesitate to throw punches at whomever is bothering you. Cause no, no one will so much as harm/harrass his beloved boyfriend. He doesn’t care who it is.
-If he’s already taken legal action then he’ll simply call the cops on the people/person. They’re breaking the law, simple as that.
GLADIOLUS:
-Being the prince’s sworn shield that towers over anyone. Especially in sheer size. He won’t hesitate to offer to throw hands with whomever is harassing you. He will not tolerate this.
-If you tell him not to do anything about it cause you don’t want trouble, he will be incredibly skeptical about it. So you’ll be secretly followed by him or someone he trusts throughout the next few days so he can get a better handle on the situation.
-Once he knows what your bullies look like, it’s over for them the moment they approach you and he’s around. I feel bad for them cause he will intimidate them until they back off.
-If they don’t back off of you then, they will soon. Cause he will be physical in that moment.
-Grabbing them by the shirt collar and lifting them off the floor. He didn’t hurt them too bad…or that’s what he tells you if you question the screams of pain you heard earlier.
-Will constantly have someone accompany you after that. If you have a job, guess who your new coworker is. Iris wanted a job anyways.
I’m sorry if these are short, or ooc. I’m just now getting back into the swing of writing myself and the rest of the blogs members are busy with life and their own things. We do all apologize for our absence and I myself will be more active here once school lets out for the summer where I’m at. Regardless, I hope you enjoy these headcannons and find them to fulfill what you wanted, my dearest darlings.
(I made you wait so long for this, I’m so sorry! Here it is, though, after all its many rewrites! I hope you like it! Thank you for waiting!)
(As before: I use ‘Nonnie’ for <reader>. I find it less jarring than <y/n> and other formats. You/your OC/your fav otp can be Nonnie!)
For a long time the two of you sat wordless while Gladiolus’s strong hands proved themselves capable of gentleness not oft shown as he wound the sterile bandage around your forearm. You’d already protested that you could ‘take care of it yourself’, but he’d cut you off with that scowl and low grunt like he always did. So now you sat docile under his hands on the bench just outside the female locker room.
“You know,” He broke the silence at last, his tone finding more of the friendliness he usually reserved for other occasions, “there’s a difference between ‘fearlessness’ and ‘recklessness’.”
Noctis: He looked through the pages of your sketchbook while you were out getting supplies. He wondered how long you’ve been staring at him to capture his likeness so well. He was impressed how detailed it is. From the strands of his hair, the expression of his eyes, and the way he hides his smiles.
Not only that, you had also captured the vulnerability he tries so desperately to hide. Then there were moments where he was genuinely happy. You captured his emotions so well that it almost frightens him.
After looking through your drawings, he closed the book and carefully placed it where he found it. He hopes you come back sooner from gathering supplies so he can get to know you more. Because not only did you capture his heart though your drawings. You also captured every essence of his soul.
Prompto: Prompto meant to give you your sketchbook after you left it on the Regalia. But by the time he found it, you were already gone to gather supplies. Since this was going to take a while, he decided to take a look inside. He couldn’t believe the pages of your sketchbook were nothing but drawings of him.
He was fascinated how you captured all of his freckles like they were a constellation of stars on his face. The way his eyebrows were shaped to show his colorful expressions. Even though the hairs on his face being too fair to see. What impressed him the most were his eyes and how you perceived how he sees the world. There is a saying that the eyes are the windows to the soul. He felt that you must have snuck off and opened his window without him even noticing.
After looking through the pages of your sketchbook. He felt touched how you captured his spirit through a series of glances. He was determined right then and there to ask you out.
Gladio: As he scanned through the pages of your sketchbook. He was very surprised there weren’t any porn drawings of him. He wouldn’t mind that either, but it was nice knowing that you don’t see him as eye candy.
Each page was a like a story being told through your eyes. The way he was looking at someone or something. The details of his scars he earned as The Shield. Lastly, the way he smiled towards the people that mattered to him.
After closing your book, he couldn’t help but smile thinking about you. You didn’t see him as a flirtatious brute, you saw him as a caring man who takes his sacred duty seriously. He was set on asking you out when you get back and maybe tease you into being your model in the future.
Ignis: For as long as Ignis could remember, he was known as the stone-cold advisor for the prince. Never smiling, always serious and overall a no fun person. So it came to a surprise for him to find various expressions of his face through the pages of your sketchbook.
He didn’t mean to invade your privacy like this. It fell right off your bag and when he picked it up that is where he discovered your secret past time. Your talents captivated him and more so he was glad to not find a single page of his usual stern expression.
You drew him in a way that only very few people know about the real Ignis. Stern yes, but he’s also caring, attentive, and likes to make jokes from time to time. Your drawings have single-handedly captured that just by a glance. After closing the sketchbook, he set out a plan to not only ask you out on a date, but to be more open with you. For you have certainly earned it.
A/N: At work today I had someone say/do something that had me biting my lower lip so hard, but I know the boys wouldn’t be quiet if something was said to someone they cared about, so, this is the result.
Someone degrades you – and before you get the chance to retaliate, the boys do it for you.
Noctis: “Your ass must be jealous of all the shit that’s coming out of your mouth.”
Ignis: “Oh dear, I see that your birth certificate is an apology letter from the condom factory.”
Prompto: “Man, if you’re going to be two-faced, at least make sure one of them is good looking.”
Gladio: “I guess those penis enlargement pills are working, you’re twice the dick you were yesterday.”
Cor: “I like you, you remind me of when I was young and stupid.”
Dino: “I’m sorry I hurt your feelin’s when I called ya stupid. I really honestly thought ya already knew…”
Ravus: “I’m guessing you weren’t burdened with an overabundance of schooling.”
Clarus: “Oh, I’d agree with you, but then we’d both be wrong.”
Regis: “I see you’ve set aside this this special time to humiliate yourself in public.”
Nyx: “So, did it hurt when you fell from heaven, cause it looks like you landed on your face.”
Pelna: “If I had a face like yours, I’d sue my parents.”
Tredd: “You should introduce your upper lip to your lower lip sometime, and shut up.”
Luche: “So, the only way you’re getting laid is if you crawl up a chocobo’s ass and wait.”
Titus: “I’m not being rude. You’re just insignificant.”
A/N: So, apparently – my first go around of these was really, really well liked. Some asked why Ardyn and Cid weren’t included in the first go around, and I added them after. But then, I saw @kheradihr ask for the ladies too… and I figured…
Why the heck not. So, we’ll add Ardyn, Cid, and all the ladies I can think of to this list. [Let me know if there’s someone else I’m missing!]
Summary: Someone degrades you, or says something insulting, and these guys and gals say something to defend you before you get the chance.
Cid: “Ya know, if you’re really…really quiet…you can hear yourself doin’ the world a favor…”
Ardyn: “Oh but of course I’ve seen people like you before my dear, but at that time I had to pay an admission.”
Aranea: “You. My dear friend, should have been swallowed.”
Lunafreya: “Don’t mistake my silence for weakness. Afterall, no one plans a murder out loud.”
Gentiana: “Everyone has the right to be stupid, but you are abusing that privilege.”
Cindy: “Hey, I don’t hate ya or nothin’, but I hope your next period happens in a shark tank.”
Iris: “I’m seriously trying to see things from your point of view, but I can’t stick my head that far up my ass…”
Sania: “I am not a Proctologist, but even I know an asshole when I see one!”
Monica: “Before you tell me what I did wrong, you should first know that I don’t care.”
Crowe: “You’re IQ test came back. It was negative.”
Holly: “As a kid, you must have worked with glue a lot.”
I swear to the six I’m trying to control my temper, but when I hear that your family is badgering you about you needing to lose weight, when you’re already a good looking guy as it is? That your body type is just fine as it is?
I wanna punch something…
I mean I don’t get it?!
Are they trying to make you compete with me? Are they using my body type as an excuse to get you to try to lose your soft edges? Cause if they are I swear that I am going to come over there and give them the biggest piece of my mind…!
I’m sorry. I kinda lost my temper there, and I know that’s not what you’re looking for, or what you need right now. I don’t mean to get like that, I just. I mean, you’re fine.
Losing weight, or being what some call ‘thin’ is not healthy for you. Ugh, I’m doing it again…sorry.
Look, do me a favor.
The next time they badger you, stand your ground. Tell them it’s something you no longer want to talk about and to drop the subject. It might take a couple reminders though…
If it helps, think of me standing right behind you, my hand on your shoulder to support you as you remind them that your body is your own, and you’re fine as you are.
I really, really hope you don’t mind that I did this with different animals because I was honestly writing the same story with each guy. But Prompto does get the Chocobo in his story…
~~~~~
Noctis
“For real?”
You glanced up to your boyfriend standing before the couch, he had got up to go get something to drink only to find upon his return that you had a lap full of canine. Granted one was Umbra and the other Carbunkle, but they knew him. He figured that they knew him longer than yourself but that didn’t stop them from every time he went to cuddle you they were there.
Noctis – He thought there was something in his food the night before – Felt like he shouldn’t have eaten that one piece of carrot – That’s what he got – First, the almost unbeatable dark spawns that drive Gladio crazy – Now this – “You guys, is this a talking cartoon duck?” – Donald bedazzles him more than Goofy – He doesn’t know why – After Sora introduced himself and the other two he’s just silent – His mind is running wild though – This damn piece of carrot must’ve messed with his head – There is no other explanation
Prompto – Staring – More staring – To the others: “You see this too right?” – A total fan of Sora’s hair -This is all too weird to properly process – It takes him way too much time that he’s talking to a cartoon dog walking on two legs that uses a shield as a weapon – The duck does magic ??
Gladio – Not dealing with this shit – “You wanna tell me those things can’t be beaten by any other weapon but a… key?” – He’s done – So done – There’s talking humanoid animals – Nope – He’s calling Iris – Probably starts beef with Donald
Ignis – There is always a time and place to be the head of the group and talk to the strangers – But he really wishes Noctis would take this one – The boy is okay – He fights with a key and magic and does things – Noctis does this too – Pretty quick to befriend Sora – Hides how weirded out he is by Donald and Goofy – The only one who understands the entirety of the situation after Sora’s explanation
Helena and Zeru, the ocs i keep doing subtle changes cause i wanna explore a shit tone of new possibilities for them, dragons/elf?/long swift wings, idk they giving off good ancient race decedents to me.
anyways some oc i wanna draw together as duos! i have no self control and i will let u guys know im the one who loves my oc the most in the whole existence of the galaxy
OHHH! bruh! This will no doubt have plenty of shenanigans that @mandakatt would like to see and laugh about!… Imma exploit it like milking the udders of a cash cow!
Muse says you get Hanzo. Muse says this is what you get so I hope it its enjoyable to some degree~
Also, excuse any typos. I had to write it on my phone and the thing hates me.
———-
The past few weeks had been especially cruel to you. Hanzo had left to go on a mission and though he called as often as he could, you couldn’t help but worry. On top of that, your job had decided that it was a good time to put more of the work load on you with no notice, you had a family member end up hospitalized, and you had not been sleeping very well which only made everything that much worse.
This night was no different than the last several, you drug yourself out of work and back home, fumbling with the keys in your exhausted state. It took more tries than it should’ve to get the the lock, but what a surprise it was to hear a voice that was not your own as the door swung open.
“Welcome home, love of my life.” Your eyes locked on quickly to the source, following him as he moved over to you. You must have had quite the expression on your face too, because he chuckled as he took your hands in his. “Surprised?”
“I… Uh… Y-yeah! You weren’t suppose to be back for three more days!” You finally managed to collect yourself to throw your arms around him tightly, almost afraid to let go just in case you were dreaming this. He hummed slightly and wrapped you up in him embrace as you clung to him, softly nuzzling your cheek before he spoke again.
“Last we spoke, I couldn’t bear hearing how stressed you sounded. My mission means nothing if you are left here to suffer… So I returned early to surprise you.” His right hand moved under you chin to bring your head up before placing a soft, loving kiss on your lips. The world faded away in that moment, leaving just the two of you alone, locked in a kiss sure to leave you breathless… And only when he pulled away did he give you that soft smile, the one you knew the stoic archer only gave to you, as he carried you off to bed.
You do know that the more you keep remindin’ me that you’re short that makes me just wanna pick you up, spin you around then kiss all over your face right? You have no idea just how much I love hearing you squeal, then giggle as I do so.
And no, no matter how many times you complain about being ‘fluffy’ I think you’re just right.
I’m sorry I’m not there with you right now though. By the time you see this, we should just be reaching the Vesperpool to finish up a hunt, then I’ll come running straight back to you.
Nothing will stop me from getting back to you in a hurry this time.
I mean, I know you’re having a real hard time right now, and normally how I’d help you with that is simply pull you down into bed, or the couch, or next to me in the Regalia and hold you close. I know you don’t mind when I pet through your hair, and I’ve come to find out that I kinda find it a comfort for myself too.
I know this sounds silly but, it gets better from here.
As Specs likes to always tell me, tomorrow is another day. And I’ll be here to remind you that it’s all worth it.
Say! How bout you and I go down to the docks in Galdin and go fishing one afternoon sometime soon? Would you like that? I mean…I know I will cause not only do I get to go fishing, but I get to be with you too.
I have been informed that you have had quite the day…and It pains me that I cannot be at your side when you are struggling.
I wish now, more than ever, I was at your side to comfort you.
If…for no other reason then to pull you gently to my side and hold you, with my nose pressed into your hair, so that you can remember that I am there to lean on when you need it most.
That is something I wish for you to never forget.
You are not alone.
I will return to your side as quickly as I can, my Precious Flower. I swear it.
You asked me once what I thought of you. And at the time you asked me, I told you that I didn’t have an answer for you, and walked away. I know you probably thought that I didn’t think much of you at all.
But…that’s not the case.
You’re someone that takes much on their shoulders, and yet, you push forward. You’re also one that even though they get overwhelmed like you say you do, I still see you unwilling to give up, and you keep going.
So, what do I think of you Agent?
You are strong. You are kind. You are creative.
And, I think you’re enough.
I’m looking forward to continuing to work with you.
Why is good ol’ Jesse McCree, sittin’ around with the likes of me?
Well, that answers easy!
Because you’re you.
Now what do I mean by ‘because you’re you’? Well, there ain’t no one else in the world like ya. Even though ya think you’re weak, you’re not.
I’ve kinda been where ya are in a way, with this prosthetic hand n’all but, I also know it ain’t the same. What ails ya is different. There’s so many times I just wish I could just swoop in and be the hero for my girl and make it all better.
Each day ya struggle, but each day ya push through it. Ya probably got no idea just how proud of ya I am.
How much I admire ya, or just how much I’m smitten with ya.
Guess that means that I gotta wrap this mission up quick, and get on home to smother your face in soft gentle kisses till you’re smilin’ again.
When the others and I heard how your days were going as of late, we all decided that perhaps, this note may make you feel better.
It pains all of us when we hear how people treat others, especially with the choice of career you are currently taking on. How we wish that they could be in your shoes for just a brief moment in time to understand how much you do, and take care of, and what rules must be followed in order to not only ensure that they will be taken care of, but that you are as well.
But we love you Darling. We love you for how you persevere, we love you with how you, despite the negativity thrown your way, you haven’t given up.
You make all of us very proud.
I do believe that something better will come your way soon enough. If nothing else, we shall see to it that it does.
That voice you’re hearing in your head? That dark little nagging voice that says you’re not worth anything? That you’re a failure? That you’re not good enough?
It’s wrong Sweetheart, so very wrong.
Anytime that voice starts to whisper in your ear anything negative I want you to stop, take a breath, then look back and see how far you’ve come. How far you’ve grown, and the friends you’ve made along the way.
And then, I want you to tell it to fuck off, and come find me. I will do all I can to remind you that you are worth everything. Especially to me.
I’m very proud of you, Sweetheart. Never forget that.
I only did one for the main four chocoboys because of how long it’s been taking me to do this prompt. So to keep you from waiting for so long, I’mma post what I had for it! Perhaps later, I’ll write more for Cor, Ravus, and Nyx. And perhaps not go too overboard with it again. c’: But I hope you enjoy the read, Sarah! Sorry for the wait!
Noctis Lucis Caelum
He’s perhaps the one
that really understands you the most compared to the others. Perhaps not in the
same way as you, but he understands how talking can be kind of stressful and
just how hard it is to say what’s on your mind. When he learns your story, he’s
very sympathetic with you – never forcing you to speak to strain yourself, but
sometimes forgetting that he might be asking you too many questions and
overwhelming you with noise. He gets nervous when you’re nervous, but he tries
his best to always reassure you that you’re speaking just fine – mostly VIA
thumbs up and little kisses because those speak measures more than anything
else. Or so he’s heard. And even so, the quiet with you and being able to do
dumb sappy things like holding your hand is pleasant enough for him – no extra
insecurities needed.
But when he overheard
someone criticizing you and how you were speaking carefully and cautiously, he
couldn’t help but frown in dismay. What was wrong about taking time to process
your thoughts before speaking? Sure, there might be a few stutters or a pause when
you process your thoughts. But if people were willing to be patient, they’d see
a different side to you that wasn’t defined by how well you spoke. They didn’t
have to be jerks about it.
But Noctis wasn’t confrontational
about it because he knew that going over and punching the people bothering you
would only be bad for both him and you. Princes shouldn’t go around punching
people. Gladio’s should. But he thought about it more before he took your hand
and kissed your temple before he led you right by the people bugging you. He
waved his hand in an almost melodramatic fashion with gestures bold enough and
a tone loud enough for everyone on the street to hear him. “How dare you! The prince
and his lover do not wish to listen to such ignorant fools!” Loud enough to get
them to shut up, but also enough to prove his point.
You
two turn the corner and out of view just enough for Noctis to get you out of
there and make sure you were okay. He knows that you have better things to do
than to dwell on what others, so he tries to find little things that can
distract you, taking you around the city more until you cheer up. Even if it’s
just a little bit. Besides, just because someone wanted to talk smack didn’t
mean that it should ruin your date, right? He’d make sure that your date night
from then on out was the best night of your life!
Prompto
Argentum
He
had to admit, he honestly never really found much of an issue in how you
articulated yourself and spoke. The fumbling of words here and there was
something he thought was rather natural in how you spoke, because everyone has
their speaking quirks after all, right? He always managed to catch onto what
you were saying, and he seemed ultimately shocked when you told him about the
speech therapy that you went through. Mostly because ‘Wow! I never would have
guessed! I love the way you talk!’ It’s flattering in a way, and it only added
to your self-esteem about your annunciation and vocalization.
That
is, until the gossip came to your ears and leaving you ultimately beaten down
by their words. Just because you had some hearing problems in the past didn’t
mean that you didn’t understand just what they were talking about. It left you
angrier than you wanted to be when you met up with Prompto to get ice cream
together. You wanted to be energetic and happy during date night, but it was
kind of hard to do so.
And
Prompto, no matter how airheaded he can be, wasn’t oblivious to your sudden
quietness as you two sat together. He asked you what was on your mind, in which
you told him about some of the things you heard when wrapping up from class to
meet up with him today. He couldn’t help but gawk, nearly dropping his spoon
from his mouth when he heard what was said. Really? Nobody should be judged for
how they talk, especially not you and your cute voice! And Prompto made it very
clear just how cute he thought your voice was. Probably comparing it to an
angel more times that you could count and saying that he could listen to you
all day so many times that your cheeks felt like they were going to melt.
It
was a bit comforting to hear Prompto go on such a tangent for almost an hour,
but he did make a good point that he told you during the conversation: wording
is hard. The fact that you’ve worked hard with speech therapy and talking often
with him was proof enough that people didn’t have the right to judge you. You
were making yourself a better speaker one step at a time, and he was proud of
you for that! You couldn’t help but smile and nod. Well… If Prompto was proud
of you, then you supposed you were doing something right, right?
Ignis
Scientia
Upon
hearing about the speech therapy that you underwent in the past, he couldn’t
help but find himself doing extensive research on the subject – for the sake of
curiosity and in case there was something special that you required to help you
beyond your speech therapy. You had to reassure him that it just took time to
adjust and figure out how to articulate yourself, and that just having him be
patient with you was all that you really wanted. An easy enough demand, but
Ignis was glad to abide. While implementing his own subtle ways to help you
practice your diction, of course – such as using various words for you to add
to your vocabulary and always suggesting reading with you aloud. Perhaps a bit
overbearing at times, but his care for you really was helpful in the end.
But
during one of your usual reading sessions at the café, you felt a bit uneasy as
you took note in the glances your direction as you tried to read from
Cosmogony. Your eyebrows furrowed as you gripped onto the edge of your book at
the people murmuring words, what you assumed was remarks about your fragmented
reading that you tried to improve on. You looked up at Ignis, who almost seemed
to notice the words and the discomfort on your face as you held onto the book.
You just wanted to go home and hide underneath your blankets for the rest of
the year…
You
snapped yourself out of your thoughts eventually when you felt Ignis reach out
and tap the top of your hand. You noticed that his eyes were closed, but he
eventually cleared his throat and spoke aloud. “Thank you for reading this for
me. With my deteriorating vision, I didn’t think I would ever get to hear my
favorite book ever again!”
The
simultaneous silence was enough to prove to Ignis just how awkward everyone
else in the café felt. They didn’t know you were reading to a blind man! Well,
you weren’t really. Ignis needed glasses, but you were pretty sure he could still
see. But you could sense the change in atmosphere as negative comments seemed
to change into a positive air. You could have sworn someone saying how it was
cute how you were reading to your blind boyfriend too, causing you to relax a
bit more now that the tension let-up in the air. The attention was shifted from
how you were reading to why you were reading.
You
smiled back at Ignis and took his hand into yours as you continued reading. All
to help a blind man, right?
Gladiolus
Amicitia
He’s
smarter than he lets on, but even then, he had a hard time understanding the
situation compared to the others. Yeah, he noticed the faltering in your words
as you stumbled over your diction, but he assumed it was you just talking
faster than you thought. The speech therapy that you went through didn’t really
make much sense to him, and it took quite a bit of explaining about your early
childhood before he finally began to understand where you were coming from.
Well,
kind of. He seemed to misunderstand a bit, thinking that your deafness was
still a hinderance to where he’d often just wave or make gestures at you until
you blatantly asked him, ‘What the heck are you doing?’ He just had to scratch
the back of his head awkwardly as he looked away. He just wanted to do something
to make you feel more at ease with your disability. It was kind of cute, to be
honest.
It
would take time for him to adapt, but he seemed to be doing well with it
nevertheless. He listened intently to whatever you had to say, helping you word
by word whenever you stumbled a bit or mispronounced something, but never
becoming exasperating when helping you. It was kind of fun, in his mind,
considering that he’s a secret word-buff.
But
it seemed as if people didn’t really have the same mentality as he did, for
when he overheard some teenagers gossiping about how you were rambling about
why you liked a certain type of milk, he was fuming. Really? At a supermarket?
They had the time to fuss about how you were talking? He frowned at the sight,
but you had to just pat his chest and tell him that it was okay. It’s not like
you weren’t used to the murmurs and chatter anyways.
Gladiolus
wouldn’t settle though. He only began cracking his knuckles before he turned
towards the others, putting on that macho expression before he began moving
over to them in long strides. That alone – seeing a behemoth of a man charging
at them – got them to flee like a herd of Anak. He was a bit disappointed that
he couldn’t actually tell them off, but he returned back to you and noticed the
laughter that came from you. What? What was so funny?
Well,
he was. You couldn’t help but fun it adorable how Gladiolus wanted to
straight-up fight someone just because you were being bullied. You kissed his
cheek and held onto his hand as you continued your debate on which milk to get.
Soo I consider this as a collab between me and @ignis-sinentia of some sorts. I brought it up in one of our daily shes-just-unloading-her-sinful-thoughts-on-me-while-I-did-nothing-to-deserve-it conversations so shoutout to the sinbin for that
and it actually was really fun thinking this up :’D enjoy
Noctis: – To get it right out: He sings. While he is taking showers. Bad. Always. – Yeah, Noctis picked this habit up for no real reason but it’s become his guilty pleasure. – He has never told anyone about it! He’ll take this secret into his grave. – okay wait, gimme a minute I just triggered myself LET ME CRY MY FEELS OUT AND ILL COME BACK TO THIS – One time while the bros were staying in the Hotel Leville in Lestallum and it was Noct’s turn to use the bathroom, he obviously sang in the shower. Little did he know that the entire squad was able to hear it. – Prompto still teases him about it, Ignis is able to pretend that never happened and Gladio still snorts whenever he thinks back.
Prompto: – Prompto actually really enjoys watching soap operas. His favorite one is called Insomnian Romance and airs once every weekday and he really doesn’t miss any episode. – He gets wayyyyy to invested while watching it. This includes crying during the emotional scenes and yelling at it. “WAKE UP SARAH! HE DOESNT LOVE YOU! HE CHEATED ON YOU WITH VERONICA!” – He really never misses any episode. – “WHY DID YOU DO THAT JUAN? SARAH DESERVES BETTER THAN YOU!” – Once he was staying at Noct’s appartment at a friday for gaming. He was nervous all the time while the series was airing. He did try to cover it up and act like nothing’s wrong but you can imagine how that looked like. Once Noctis was asleep, Prompto secretely streamed the episode on his phone. – Just to get jumpscared by Noct asking “what are you watching?” – Prompto screamed. Noctis screamed. The headphones got pulled out of the phone and then the phone also screamed. “I THOUGHT YOURE MY BEST FRIEND VERONICA?!? WHY DID YOU DO THAT WITH THE MAN I LOVE?” – Once the series got discontinued, Prompto was heartbroken. Just to start writing fanfictions. They were eventually that good that they became really popular among the fans of this series. It’s become THE fanfiction of the fandom, some already consider it canon. There are petitions ongoing that demand that the studios should continue the series with his fic as its script. – Yes, he’s absolutely emotional while writing as well.
Gladio: – He read Fifty Shades of Grey – multiple times – I don’t think there is anything that needs to be added.
Ignis: – In the less free time he has, he likes to walk around in Insomnia, feeding stray cats. – You might wonder: “What’s making this a guilty pleasure?” Because I sure did. – He’s got embarrassing names for them all. – Including: Catsanova, Lord Fluffleton, Mr Clawston, Marshmallow, Madam Meow, Admiral Snuggles, the list goes on and on and on… – If he could he’d adopt them all, but sadly he doesn’t have enough time to fully take care of them.
Opened FFXV for the first time in ages to play the Terra Wars side quest
It was so cute, and I briefly forgot why I loved ffxv until I was doing side quests in a slightly dazed state. It’s such a beautiful game, and this was such a nice little side quest! 😭
There are characters you just have to fall in love with and I think
Sarah is one of those characters. She is appearing with a blast and
just captures everything around her – not to mention that I like her
design a lot as well and with that I threw that render together.
This art is so old I uploaded it a month ago to Patreon, but at this point I have so much to do and so much (character development!) has happened in the meantime I’m probably never going to finish it, so here are the lines. You’ll just have to imagine the colours.
Aezar and @erlybird‘s Cassica get the reboot treatment from Everquest II to Elder Scrolls Online. He’s a terrible Altmer, was a failure in life, and isn’t doing much better at death. He deserves every punch thrown his way (and got socked in the face in his very first RP) but I love him already.
Aezar ‘I-Will-Literally-Fall-In-Love-With-Anyone-Nice-To-Me’ Aeduire will be flattered I’m sure … once he’s recovered enough to give us coherent thought.
On the First of Spooktober we hit our 400 Follower Goal on Twitch, which means I pledged to stream myself drawing Ethon in assless chaps.
What started as a running gag about Altmer aesthetics turned into a promise I am very quickly regretting, so this weekend on Saturday October 6th at 6 p.m. SST (Singapore Standard Time) I will be livestreaming art on
He’s so damn smug about his stupid Welkynar boots.
I made the mistake of gifting @kangeera the Summerset XPac and now this dickhead’s armour has gone from bad to worse. Divine Retribution is now the worst thing in ESO I’ve ever had to draw.
A BOTTLE containing a mystery liquid dating back to the time of
Jesus Christ has been hailed as a “unique” discovery after being
unearthed in Russia.
The 2,000-year-old artefact was uncovered on the site of the Phanagoria city, which was founded in the 6th century BC.
The ancient city was the largest Greek settlement on the Taman peninsula in the present-day Krasnodar Krai region of Russia.
The extraordinary object was discovered in the grave of a warrior in the Eastern Necropolis of the city.
It is filled with a mystery liquid which has not been identified.
Vladimir Kuznetsov, head of the expedition, described the discovery as “unique”.
He
said: “The discovery of the large glass filled with unknown liquid in
the sarcophagus of the Phanagorian horseman warrior is unique.”
The
discovery is the first of its kind, with Mr Kuznetsov revealing that
bottles previously found have been empty or full of soil.
He said: ”There are hundreds of similar bottles that were found in Phanagoria before that did not have the liquid.
“They were either empty or filled with soil.”
The large glass bottle contains a clear liquid with dark sediment at the bottom.
The discovery is the first time the expedition team have found liquid to have survived for that length of time.
Mr Kuznetsov said: “This is the first time me or my colleagues are seeing a liquid surviving that long.”
For what it’s worth, 2018 has been a really terrible year for the world,
but it’s been a really great year for archeologists digging up and
opening things that will unleash unspeakable eldritch horrors upon
humanity.
some writer snob somewhere: Do not start sentences with But or And because doing so is grammatically incorrect.
me, writing my fic: But I don’t care. And you can’t stop me.
To my beta’s profound dismay.
Okay, writeblr, I have a genuine question: I understand the logistics of why this makes sense. That being said, the last ten critically-acclaimed books I have read do this on the regular – and that is not an exaggeration.
Am I missing something? Is this one of those “rules” (emphasis on the air quotes) that everyone unanimously decides to ignore? If so, should I follow in the others’ examples or should I follow the rules? The rule follower in me wants to die every time I see someone do it…but it also feels right?
If anyone tells you not to start sentences with “but” or “and” in creative writing, they’re full of shit. If you’re writing an academic paper, sure, avoid starting with and or but because that makes them incomplete sentences (though I majored in English, did this regularly, and got great grades in my papers, so it depends on your major too).
But with creative writing, as long as it’s like… coherent, do whatever the fuck you want. You’re trying to establish a character’s voice, not win the Most Grammatically Correct award. People don’t talk or think in perfect English and neither should your characters.
If you see a rule that’s being picky about grammar rules like this, assume it’s meant to apply to academic/professional writing only. Applying it to your creative work will not only bring you pain and suffering but also make your narration and dialogue stiff and awkward.
Speaking as a fiction editor, being a petty little grammar pedant is rarely useful outside of academia. As a writer you want to create something that flows, that engages the reader. Not sound like you were stunned over the head with a copy of “Eats, Shoots & Leaves”, which by the way, is a terrible book. Don’t read that. The author is an elitist snob, and they might know how grammar works, but that’s the extent of their skill.
Basic grammar, yes. Good. Smashing.
But you can safely ignore anyone that tells you “said is dead”. Said is not dead, said is undead and wishes people would stop trying to replace it when it’s a perfectly good word to use.
