How would the chocobros react to an SO who gets nervous on a turbulent boat ride? Like getting caught in a mild storm while cruising on the ocean. I’ve always liked boat rides, but when the waves get too rough I wanna hide below deck and latch onto something so I don’t get tossed around lol

I’ve never really been on those kind of rides but I feel ya lol but anyways, Here we go! Hope it’s ok 💙

Noctis

• Tho he doesn’t show it, he’s extremely worried about you.

• He was trying to fish (cuz even in not-so-great weather conditions, he still gonna fish em all!) when he notices how hard your gripping on the mental bars (idrk what there called) of the boat.

• he thinks your maybe sea sick at first.

• but then, it thunders. You scream.

• he stops fishing (“there’s always another day.”) and immediately takes you inside and comforts you.

• it’s one of the rare times he’s affectionate.

• it helps a lot with your anxiety.

Prompto

• this cinnamon roll knows immediately that somethings wrong!

• you may not be able to communicate your feelings but your face does all the talking for you.

• he tells Noct immediately to get the boat back on dock.

• “Prompto I don’t care about a little bit of rai-

• “JUST DO IT!!!!!!!!!!”

• He wants back on land ASAP!

• it helps you to be back on land again.

• Don’t worry tho. Everything still turned out fine!

• Noct got to fish on the dock. Prompto took ya out for Ice Cream (get me a cookie dough ice cream pls!)

• everyone is happy!

• Prompto may have gone a ˡˡⁱᵗᵗˡᵉ bit over board but he loves you!!

• he wants you to be happy and comfortable.

• tho he owns Noct now. He doesn’t care tho.

Ignis

(I wasn’t playing when I said I’d put this in every Headcanon)

• He notices right away that somethings wrong

• Mama Ignis mode 1.1334 activate!

• ”Darling, are you alright?”

• of course, your not ok!

• Ignis approaches this situation with his calm demeanor and offers you back inside.

• oh he didn’t even have to ask you twice!!!

• you ran back in fast. 🏃‍♀️

• he comforts you until the storms over.

• he whispers sweet nothings into your ear and gently rocks you.

• He’s a lot more...logical about the situation, so it helps.

• What a good boy 🥰

Gladiolus

• Out of everyone, it takes him a little bit longer for him to noticed.

• he wraps his arms around your waste but your so afraid of getting tossed out of the boat, due to admitting minor weather conditions, that you didn’t even move.

• (Granted, it’s a worst case scenario but who knows what can happen?!?!?)

• it isn’t til he notices that your not responsive, that he gets a bit concerned.

• “Babe, What’s wrong?”

• you barely explain that your afraid of getting tossed out of the boat due to the minor weather change.

• Gladio thinks til he gets an idea 💡

• Reminder, he isn’t just Noctis’s shield, he’s yours to.

• he’ll wrap his whole body around you, so you’ll feel protected.

• admitting, it’s a bit uncomfortable at first, but you slowly feel more relaxed and safe.

• he’s a giant teddy bear!

• his arms are so comfortable 🥰🥰🥰

• After you feel comfortable again, you let go.

• “Feel better?”

• “Absolutely! thank you Gladio.”

sorry if it’s short. Didn’t wanna make it ridiculously long again.

Hoped you enjoyed 💙

So... the interaction with my dad is a good example of difficulties for conversation I think? I should add a disclaimer here that I’m not diagnosed with ADHD or autism, but I believe I may have one or both of these. I also believe that potentially both of my parents may have one or both of these things, but like I said, I haven’t been diagnosed and neither have they. Nevertheless, here is a post about struggling with communication stuff.

Basically, my dad went to the store to get things for a family lunch for tomorrow. I haven’t been feeling well all day (pretty sure it was something I ate), so I set a timer for about half an hour, figuring that if his text notifications woke me, I’d be ready to get up and help him move things in, and if he weren’t back within that time, he’d probably get back soonish, and took a nap.

Oh, boy, that is not what happened.

Yeah, no, for some reason, despite my ringer being on, neither his texts nor my alarm, which I set to a very loud song to make sure I would wake up, woke me. So I woke to the vibration of my alarm about two minutes after it was set to go off to less than pleased text messages about helping him to move stuff, which obviously I had missed by a good twenty minutes. I apologized for it, telling him that I hadn’t realized, and waited a bit. He didn’t respond, and I ended up drifting back to sleep. I know that was irresponsible of me, but I was just so exhausted.

This isn’t the first time something like this has happened, and I’ve always expressed my regret. I really don’t mean to sleep through things. Other times I’ve missed notifications because I was really busy. Regardless, I never just purposefully ignore my parents, and I really do try to be ready to help with unloading groceries from the car or whatever it is they need.

Anyway, this is the part about where taking notes for conversation takes place.

See, my dad has told me multiple times when I was younger not to give him any excuses, just to apologize and move on. So that’s what I’ve been doing. And it’s been hard because despite trying to catalogue what how he says he wants an apology or future interactions or whatever, clearly it doesn’t work that way. In my apology to him this time, I had just texted that I was sorry and hadn’t seen the messages. Later, when he had yelled at me to come downstairs, he demanded to know why I hadn’t elaborated, and I told him: because he said before that he didn’t want excuses.

To which he said he didn’t want excuses (I was correct), but that he wanted an explanation.

...yeah.

So I tried to give him the explanation, which was that I had been laying down because I wasn’t feeling well, etc. etc. that I already wrote. And he was less than understanding. Obviously, I don’t want to lie to him, but he doesn’t understand that when I say, “I don’t feel well,” it doesn’t mean, “oh, no, I stubbed my toe, time for me to be melodramatic.” Usually, it means, “I have felt like I am one belly jolt away from throwing up my entire guts, and I may or may not be getting a migraine.” Unfortunately, I don’t feel well often, and I suppose he thinks that I don’t feel well a little too often. Rest is really the best way for me to feel better, but he disagrees. So I told him the truth, and it only made him more upset. (I always wonder what he would want me to have been doing instead??? Like willfully ignoring him???)

Anyway, point of this is, that even when you think you have taken enough notes on interaction with someone, it’s best to take a few more. I don’t know what would have made it up in this scenario. Obviously, it would have been best if I hadn’t fallen asleep, so that’s on me, but it doesn’t change the fact that his reaction really hurts, scares me, and makes me anxious about sleeping in general, which is something I have issues with. Additionally, it hurts because it means that despite my explanations over the years that I’m not purposefully ignoring him or my mother, that he still thinks I’m just seeing his messages and going, “haha fuck you,” and ignoring him. Which is not the case.

Interacting with people is hard. And sometimes... they just don’t interact well. I’m still trying to figure out a way to explain everything to him, not just for this time but for the future, and I hope I can.

I don’t know what would have made this interaction better other than the not being asleep parts. I tried to do everything he has said to do when I get in trouble in the past (apologize, no excuses, short and to the point, etc.), but apparently, I’m not going to the family lunch tomorrow. Not my choice.

So, to my neurodivergent folk or anyone who struggles with conversations in general, I write this partially to prepare you about how your note taking won’t always work but also because... honestly? Sometimes there’s only so much you can do. Yes, in this case as with other instances, I’ve made a lot of mistakes. There were things I could have done better, as I’ve said. I’m not denying that I am in the wrong for that. And even though I don’t believe it’s wrong to have a monotone voice, I know that it didn’t help my situation that when my parents get mad at me, I can’t seem to get out of it, which I guess makes me sound disinterested or insincere in my apology.

But it doesn’t mean I’m the only one who could have done better. My father’s refusal to acknowledge that I’m not intentionally trying to piss him off, that I really am feeling sick today (and every time I tell him I am), and that I actually do try to be helpful, especially with this task, doesn’t just hurt me. It also hurts him.

And I know that plenty of kids fake sick or exaggerate illness, but you know what? You know whether your kid is like that. My dad has known me for almost 19 years, and even though there have been times that I have felt worse than others, it doesn’t take away from the fact that if I say I don’t feel well, I mean it. It’s not the difference between a scratch and a big illness, it’s the difference between if-I-don’t-rest-now-this-is-going-to-be-a-migraine and I-would-stand-up-if-I-could-but-I-can’t paired with goodbye-breakfast-have-fun-in-the-sewers and goodness knows what else. You know your kid, so please don’t project your own behaviors at that age or currently on them.

So if you are like me, or if you are like my father, please take this to heart. With every argument, there’s hurt on both sides, sometimes for different reasons, but in my experience, there are ways to address most of the issues so long as both parties are willing to.

And if there were any doubt, I actually did throw up. I threw up after laying on the bathroom floor desperately trying not to. So I guess in the end, it’s probably better that I’m not going to see any family members tomorrow in case I’m actually sick with illness and not food poisoning.
