3 headcanons for your favorite ffxv ship! (is it fleurentia?)

Hello there, friendo! :D

Ah hah! So actually, my most favorite ship isn’t Fleurentia, but they're, like, top five amongst the overwhelming amount of ships a folk like me can enjoy. I love the super romantic tropes that you can have for the two of them – especially when they’re all sorts of fun in terms of dynamics: enemies to lovers, undying loyalties to the things they cherish, bromance, etc. The list can go on because the two can be so passionate but also so goofy, depending on the context. They're a really fun duo, and Episode Ignis made them even more lovely together too. 

But since you mentioned Fleurentia though, here are some headcanons and thoughts for them! A little bit more written out, but who doesn't like overthinking their thoughts? c:

Although Ignis acknowledges himself full and well as a servant to Noctis just as much as he is a friend, Ravus still is surprised that Ignis doesn't hail from a royal family. The way that he holds himself fascinates Ravus, as bloodlines, fate, and lineages was something engrained into him since the very beginning. Ignis, however, defies the very definition of it all -- which earns respect from Ravus. And respect is not often given by Ravus unless someone is truly worthy of it. And with respect comes a bond that will only grow stronger as time passes, and Ravus found himself always watching Ignis with a look of admiration and fascination by the retainer's efforts.

Ignis has been trained from the get-go to know how to take care of Noctis, as it is the duty of the prince's retainers to do so. But that means Ignis is very good at reading people -- even someone as stoic as the High Commander. Every subtly in Ravus's demeanor doesn't go unnoticed by Ignis, to where even the slightest twitch of Ravus's lips can be caught by Ignis's sharp eyes. I would always surprise Ravus when Ignis brings the commander's emotions to attention -- for even Ravus didn't comprehend his thoughts in the moment. Ignis is among one of the rare few able to see past Ravus's feigned apathy, and that's a skill that Ignis takes value in.

That is... Until you know, he CAN'T see anymore. When Ignis lost his eyesight during the events in Altissia, it was much harder for Ignis to read the commander, whom sometimes wouldn't say anything at all and be a lurking shadow in the blurred darkness. But even though Ignis's vision was lacking, Ravus make sure that Ignis and his keen observation skills had something else to focus on -- little touches and quiet sounds that only Ignis could pick-up on. The sound of heavy and paced steps that echo on tile as they approach. Metal brushing over the back of his hand, light and gentle as a feather. The soft exhale that Ravus releases reminds Ignis that even though he can't see the admiration in Ravus's eyes, he can hear it. And even though their voices aren't heard in each others' presences, Ignis and Ravus's bond can transcend that of words.

Pretty sure if you took absolutely any scene Noel Fisher has ever acted in, remove all audio, and zoom in so you can literally only see his eyes and nothing else the whole scene, you'd still be able to tell the emotional tone of the scene and name every single feeling his character is supposed to be experiencing in it

community & family & socialist revolution

aro-questioning MC

arc from netgalley, out september 3

#Compound Fracture #aroaessidhe 2024 reads #aromantic books #andrew joseph white did it again…… #pretty fast paced and gripping! I barely put it down. #Definitely the primal scream of rage the author described it as. Pretty brutal in places. I enjoyed it a lot. #it’s definitely less sff than his other books - the ghostly element is almost subtle - but that worked for me. #I was especially excited for this one because I heard the MC is aromantic and I’m so happy about it I think that was done well #certainly with more nuance and depth than I’ve come to expect from a lot of books; despite the fact that it’s not a major focus #(and yknow takes place over a couple weeks and is still in the questioning stage other than maybe the epilogue) #It’s tackling some very large complex things politically and is very unsubtle and somewhat neat about it #- and I think some aspects could have used more nuance/elaboration? but also maybe that’s just not possible to fit in one little book #the handful of negative reviews I can find I guess I see where they're coming from lol #but yknow. lots of good regardless #and also. appreciation moment for evangeline gallagher's cover art

Guess who got an inkle loom! This is as far as I've gotten weaving on it, but it's so much fun. So fast! So satisfying! I picked a really simple pattern for my first one, but I can already tell there will be more.

Since the place I get my supplies (and this loom) from also had a sale on discontinued cotton..thread? yarn? Whatever it's called, it was half price and I now have 20,000 metres of it (about 12.5 miles), so oh yes, there will be more.

#inkle loom #weaving #fibre arts #I'm thinking it would be neat to do some Discworld ones for the various guilds #I also got tablets/cards so hopefully some fancy schmancy patterns in the future #grateful I use a warping board for my rigid heddle otherwise I reckon warping the inkle would have been way harder #but they're pretty similar so the motions were already there in my brain/hands

"which hogwarts house are you" is OUT

"which dendritic spine type are you" is IN

blue is thin (thought to be newly formed spines)

red is stubby

green is mushroom (most mature and connected spines)

all others: filopodia (thought to be transient)

Thinking about pastel goth Hazel and then remembering there's other goth subcultures and I'm doing a quick search bc im not v familiar w/ them but from a few glances of the different fashions:

Hazel: Pastel goth/Gothic lolita

Nico: Emo goth

Bianca: Mall goth

Macaria: Pin-Up goth

Melinoe: Nu-goth

Zagreus: Glam goth

Hades: All his clothes are just black or dark-coloured, what the fuck is an "aesthetic"/Corporate goth (for meetings. Or to make his nephew realize he's bisexual)

There's a lot of subcultures and I am not good with fashion and trying to find examples (especially for men's looks) of the various subcultures was. hard, but I think it's pretty good rep of my various headcanons on how they dress!

#happy talks pjo #hazel levesque #nico di angelo #bianca di angelo #idk if glam goth is really the correct one? maybe cabaret goth for zagreus - whichever one has slutty vibes and says this person fucks #either way this was fun - as much as i don't get fashion and stuff i think they're pretty neat forms of self-expression 😊 #heheh had to add that little bit on Hades bc i do believe 100% this man wears sweatpants when he doesn't have to lecture someone #but also we do know he dresses slick and sexy and percy realized he had a master-slave kink over it lol #also see: hermes 👍

Veth and Fjord make a really entertaining duo because of the way that they butt heads and argue most of the time, but I’m also so interested in all the compelling ways that they are very similar people. Obviously, their personalities are fairly different on the surface level, but many of their underlying issues are the same, as they were formed by bizarrely similar backstories. They were both severely bullied in their childhoods, causing serious self-worth/self-esteem issues that have lasted their whole lives, and they specifically both grew up being told they were ugly and strange by the kids (and adults) around them. They then escaped those damaging environments in the best ways they could—Fjord by ending up on the Tide’s Breath, coming into his own under Vandran's guidance, and Veth by marrying Yeza and having Luc, presumably establishing her own household and getting her out of her childhood home, where her brothers were a main source of the bullying she suffered from. Both instances have them reaching for independence from those who had harmed them, struggling to step into a semblance of better futures, though neither quite manage it in its entirety.

Then tragedy to strikes them both (Sabian’s betrayal; the goblin incursion). And though the circumstances of these tragedies were quite different, they both end the same way: water in their lungs. Both of them utterly changed in the act of drowning, neither of them in control of the outcome. They both become something new and other, something more dangerous than they once were. For Fjord, this is something of a gift, an opportunity to remake himself as he searches for answers. Veth, in a roundabout way, wants the same thing he does. But she doesn't want to remake herself into something new--she wants to remake herself into what she used to be.

This renders Veth and Fjord as something of mirrors to each other. Two people who should not have so much in common, but can see those similarities in the other anyway. Their backgrounds leave them with such similar issues that it's practically inevitable that they butt heads and argue and don't get along half the time, even though they do care about each other. We're talking about two people raised on self-hatred--they probably have some mixed feelings about seeing so much of themselves in each other. And I just think the way their stories are so symmetrical really deepens both of their narratives once you zoom out enough to see the way that their lives reflect each others'

#holds them like marge's potato: ''I just think they're neat'' #anyway stream Under the Water by The Pretty Reckless it's a fucking great veth&fjord song #I mean okay but ALSO a lot fjord's story is about asking what it is to be a good man #and a lot of veth's is asking what it means to be a good woman #their stories are SUCH reflections of each others it's a little insane actually #veth brenatto #fjord #fjord stone #critical role #the mighty nein #is this well written? no. but that's what I get for trying to write so late in the night
