I refuse to accept that Iris Amicitia isn’t ridiculously strong due to training with Gladiolus and their father. No one expects it at first because they think ‘aw what a cute girl’ but then they notice that she has muscles and they’re like ‘wow I guess she lifts’, but they still don’t understand just how strong she is until she has a chance to really demonstrate it.

One day they see her fight and expect her to pull out a weapon, but naw, she just goes in swinging and beats the living shit out of some giant monster single-handedly and that’s when it really dawns on them that holy shit, this cutesy teenage girl could probably destroy them if she wanted to.

Meanwhile Gladiolus is on the sidelines, holding back tears of joy and saying ‘That’s my little sister, I’m so proud’.

SENTENCE  STARTERS :  ALONE  WITH  YOU  IN  THE  ETHER  BY  OLIVIE BLAKE 

PART ONE, BEFORES

❛ they see you closer than you are, but you’re further from reach than either you or they can imagine. ❜

❛ what are you thinking about today? ❜

❛ maybe tomorrow, everything would be different. ❜

❛ take me home, stranger. ❜

❛ maybe we should break up. ❜

❛ you’re one of those brainy fucks, right? ❜

❛ your future self will always see what your present self is blind to. ❜

❛ cigarettes are extremely out of fashion. and they’re bad for you. ❜

PART TWO, CONVERSATIONS

❛ you’re obviously a very good liar, ❜

❛ if i were a liar, wouldn’t my lies be extremely valuable currency to me? ❜

❛ i don’t think we’re really capable of loving the things our parents love. ❜

❛ can you make this less like an interview, please? ❜

❛ the point is, you’re observing me too closely. ❜

❛ i was formerly a thief. ❜

❛ did you get the lies you came for? ❜

❛ you want to puzzle me out like a math problem. ❜

❛ crime doesn’t make a person complex, everyone has a history. ❜

❛ do you want me to leave you alone? ❜

❛ i want to see what you see. ❜

❛ are you interested in me? ❜

❛ i’m not trying to predict you. i’m trying to understand you. ❜

❛ couldn’t you predict me if you understood me? ❜

❛ i like it, your brain. ❜

❛ right, one impossibility at a time. ❜

❛ i wasn’t really thinking about you, to be honest. ❜

❛ it’s very… austere, isn’t it? ❜

❛ i could study you for a lifetime, carrying all of your peculiarities and discretions in the webs of my spidery palms, and still feel empty-handed. ❜

❛ don’t hold hands with anyone ever again. ❜ 

❛ there she is. queen of chaos. ❜  

❛ don’t worry, you’ll fit perfectly. don’t worry, there’s nothing here for you to break. ❜

❛ there, now it looks like somebody cares about you. ❜

❛ there is nothing worse than being predictable. nothing smaller than feeling ordinary. ❜

❛  so don’t speak. just stay here with me, just breathe. ❜

❛  haven’t you been paying enough attention to run? ❜

❛  don’t go, just stay. settle over me like the tide, cover me like a blanket, wrap around me like the sun.❜

❛ i think that, for someone to get close to you, you must have to give them one key at a time. and even then, only one level can be opened at once. ❜

❛ you know, it’s poor form to accuse a lady of lying all the time.❜

PART THREE, KEYS

❛ do you imagine things? Is your life a dream or a chart? ❜

❛ come closer, let’s see what happens, let’s see how the stars shine on your skin. ❜

❛ i know you’re not stupid. that’s the worst part. ❜

❛ all this time we’ve been talking and you’ve been syncopating your breath to mine and your pulse to mine and your thoughts to my thoughts, you’ve been learning how to love me, haven’t you? ❜

❛ if i am a lover of impossible problems then you will have loved me for my impossibilities. ❜

❛ what else matters but this, me, us? ❜

❛ am i imagining this? ❜

❛ i want to see your art. ❜

❛ this night is stolen, i want grand larceny and this is petty theft. ❜

❛ austere. it’s a cold word. ❜

❛ you have never understood beauty and all the worse for you, you never will. ❜

❛ i am more addicted to the thought of your name on my tongue than i am to any other form of vice. ❜

❛ the thought of having you is more dangerous than any cocktail of drugs, the idea of belonging to you endlessly destructive. ❜

❛ it’s a fire. i used to burn out, now i just burn.❜

❛ his name is written on my skin, he scarred me. ❜

❛ you just seem like you’re looking for something to overwhelm you.❜

❛ you can’t fix me. ❜

❛ i don’t see anything to fix. ❜

❛ thank you for the shape you took in my life but it’s over now, it doesn’t fit. ❜

PART FOUR, FIRSTS

❛ something is wrong with us, we are unwell, no one has ever felt any of this without destruction. ❜

❛ empires have fallen like this. ❜

❛ my god, what a waste of time doing anything else but holding you. ❜

❛ jesusfuckingchrist what have you done to me? ❜

❛ go on, ruin me. wreck me, please. ❜

❛ am i the girl who stays while others leave? ❜

❛ i love your brain.❜

❛ can you love my brain even when it is small? when it is malevolent? when it’s violent? can you love it when it doesn’t love me? ❜

❛ i’m going to tell you my secrets. ❜

❛ come home with me. ❜

❛ i want your future, i want it for me. ❜

❛ i’m going to replace those memories, i’m taking them back for me. ❜

❛ i want you to say everything, anything. i want to have your thoughts, i want to bottle them, i want to put them in my drawer for safekeeping. ❜

❛ jesus, we’re fucked, aren’t we? ❜

PART FIVE, VARIABLES

❛ come outside, come look at the stars. ❜

❛ i worry that if you try to keep up with her, you’ll burn out. ❜

❛ you’re wrong about her. ❜

❛ ether is what they called the air in the realm of the gods. a shining, fluid substance. ❜

❛ you poor thing, what a curse. i wonder which god you angered.❜

❛ you can’t just live in your past lives. ❜

❛ so this is what it is to love something you cannot control, it feels precisely like terror. ❜

❛ i thought you’d be sick of me by now. ❜

❛ every time you love, pieces of you break off and get replaced by something you steal from someone else. ❜

❛ yes, it is perilously wonderful to suffer so sweetly with you. ❜

❛ can’t you see how intangibly i exist, and how perilously? ❜

❛ will I always fear him as much as I love him? ❜

PART SIX, TURNS

❛ you really haven’t changed, have you? ❜

❛ you can always undream me, unbelieve me. ❜

❛ i’m strange, okay we’re both strange, nobody understands us except for us. ❜

❛ you think i don’t know that there’s something wrong with me? ❜

❛ i think you need me more than you want me. ❜

❛ there’s a difference between cravings and compulsions. ❜

❛ i love your brain even when i fear it. ❜

❛ have i already destroyed this little fledgling thing i tried to nurture? ❜

❛ whatever you are made of, i am made of it, too. ❜

❛ it isn’t pretty, it’s lonely, it’s desolate, it’s a chilling portrait of vastness. ❜

❛ she does burn me, she ignites me. ❜

❛ she is my hope and for that she is dangerous, unequivocally, but she is also alive, unreservedly. ❜

❛ it’s you and me right now, stranger ❜

❛ it’s you and me alone in the ether, and you don’t even know it yet. ❜

❛ this is what it looks like to love you; it looks like an abyss. ❜

❛ all falls come with danger, but not us. not us, we float. ❜

❛ because you and i, we are so different, aren’t we, and yet we are more like each other than the rest of the world is like us. ❜

[amicitiaeclipse]

* important headcanons to consider.

can they use chopsticks : Yes. She frequently went to Standing Sushi on days Noctis was working so she got a lot of practice in then. Her first time using them was a terrible mess but thankfully Noctis and Ignis helped her and stopped her from stabbing everything with them. 

what do they do when they can’t sleep :  Back in Insomnia, she’d listen to music to help her sleep. Though while on the road/in Cape Caem, she’d take walks at night. While they’re at Cape Caem, she’d often walk down towards the shore where the lights Monica and Dustin put up reaches. 

During WoR, she’d sometimes take to drinking just enough to give her a buzz and make her sleepy. Or would exercise or train until she tired herself out.

what would they impulse buy at the grocery store :  Snacks or blind boxes from her favorite series. If they have the latest edition of Shoujo Beat ( or whatever the xv equivalent is ) then into the basket it goes!

She also picks up limited-edition snacks for Gladio or her parents. 

what order do they wash things in the shower :

head, shoulders, knees and toesー

Check water temperature. Face. 

Hair, if it’s a hair wash day. 

Shoulders, arms, torso.

Abdomen then legs. 

what’s their coffee order :  She doesn’t really like coffee. But she’ll drink the seasonal sweet lattes that Moonbucks has. Her favorite is the Iced Cherry Mocha latte or frappuccino, depending on her mood, that’s available during February. She once tried one of Ignis’ Ebony cans and made the biggest stink face ever. 

what sort of apps would they have on their smartphone :  Messaging apps. OutStargram. Iris also has ClapChat for the filters. She likes taking pictures with her friends and posting them. Taking pictures of desserts. And following her favorite idol group and dessert-making accounts. 

how do they act around children :   Iris loves children. As the youngest with a large age difference between her and her brother, she revels in playing ‘big sis’. When living in Insomnia, she often visited the orphanage with her mother while performing charity work and attended events held there. 

what would they watch on tv when they’re bored and nothing they really like is on :  Probably replay a concert of her favorite group. If not, then she’ll have it on any old movie just for noise while finding something else to do. Like sewing or cooking.

It’s hard, isn’t it? Living with a shattered heart. You breathe in and hope the shards don’t pierce your lungs. But, eventually, they will. There is no escape from it. You will bleed. You will gasp. And you will scar. But what matters in the end, darling, is that you will survive.
