#Bahamut is a dick

[andywinter16]

Random FFXV thought of the day ...

Do you think that Bahamut not only persecuted glaives but also their families?

Because let´s be honest ... He totally would! cus he´s a dick!

💋 it burns us, precious

send ‘💋’ to get a kiss from my muse || @inimiicus

Bahamut was not concerned. The body he took on as a messenger could be disposed of and disregarded and formed anew. He wouldn't dare back down from the Accursed when such a clear challenge was presented to him. The other might be trying to play games, maybe foolishly hoping that a touch would allow the scourge to take place, but Bahamut would look forward to trample upon that hope.

The kiss he pressed to Ardyn's lips was far from nice. With a hand around Ardyn's throat to keep him in place, he bit down on the other's lip when he drew back so he could draw blood.

"I am still your God. Your fate is in my hands. It would be foolish to do something that would make it worse than it has to be, would it not?"

Wait I just realized------! They're right now animating Mighty Nein - but they're adding session zero stuff so there's no way they're already at the Vandalization of Bahamut's Temple (c2e31)

THEY CAN TOTALLY ADD BRAIUS INTO THE BACKGROUND.

Inside of the temple: MAYHEM. CHAOS. DICK GRAFFITI.

I dunno, I am still going to assume FXVI Bahamut is a dick until proven otherwise

Final Fantasy XVI Twitter account made a post about Bahamut and I was immediately like Ugh before I realised it is unfair to judge the new character for his namesake's crimes in FFXV

[thetypingpup]

hi Ellie!!! i was wondering if you had any thoughts on who ATEEZ would be in Baludr's Gate 3

the greatest gift of all is letting me indulge so thank you for this anon! i'm gonna take this to mean class as opposed to character comparisons, so here we go!

(also i'm gonna try and give a brief explanation of each thing for the people who have no clue what any of this is 😅)

(so far i only have three different reader characters, and you'll see them listed at the bottom)

Hongjoong: Definitely an Arcane Trickster Rogue. So rogues, that's like the main stealth class, very sneaky, do things underhanded, pickpocketing, sleight of hand, all that good shit. Arcane Tricksters can cast spells too and magically disguise themselves, which makes them hella dangerous. I can see him fucking shit up with magic and laughing from the shadows. He also uses weapons and ambushes, mainly hand crossbows and short swords. One of his weapons is a dagger imbued with sussur bark, which long story short when he stabs someone with it, they're silenced and unable to cast spells. Along with the arsenal of spells he knows, he also keeps quite a few spell scrolls on him, just to turn the tides when he needs to.

Seonghwa: Mainly a PALADIN and I will die on this hill. They're oathsworn basically knight heroes who use divine power to fuel their attacks. Seonghwa would be Oath of Devotion specifically, which swears to uphold duty and honor and be heroic. He'd be a Great Weapon Fighter, so he fights with giants swords and shit. He'd be a Paladin of Bahamut (the dragon god of justice) specifically, which you can't pick in the game, but it's not me if he's not associated with dragons somehow lmao. Speaking of dragon association, he also has draconic ancestry from his Sorcerer bloodline. Specifically his bloodline is descended from silver dragons, which means he's got a few frost powers up his sleeve and silver scales on different parts of his body, and a couple other dragon features. (*cough* dragon dick *cough*). Possibly becomes an oathbreaker bc i have way to much fun with oathbreakers not to include that too 😅 Mainly travels with cleric!reader, and was also with Yeosang and Mingi on a mission before getting separated from them. Now it's just him and cleric!reader against the world.

Yunho: I'm thinking Warlock, bc warlocks are spell casters that have a lotta rizz that's what fuels their spells. They get their powers from pacts with demonic patrons, and his patron would be The Fiend, Demon!reader specifically (haven't decided what kind of demon yet but you are from Minauros which is the greed ring of the Nine Hells). You grant him elemental spells (mostly fire) and whenever he defeats someone he gets some temporary health which is really useful. You also give him the ability to turn the tides in his favor, in limited instances of course. His pact with you is specifically a Pact of the Blade, so he can summon magic weapons and magically bind any weapon to himself. You also give him Eldritch Invocations, which long story short are extra warlock spells he can learn. You meet with him every so often, usually every full moon, to discuss the terms of your pact, and more importantly, payment. He asks for new powers, and you grant them, for a price of course. He's free to use his powers however he sees fit, so long as he serves you however you see fit. 😏

Yeosang: War Domain cleric, a cleric not to be fucked with. Not that you can fuck with any of them, but War Domain are more so fighters that focus on making themselves and their allies better in battle. So clerics are the main healing and support class, and just like paladins they get their powers from divine sources. He's specifically be a cleric of Tempus, the Lord of Battles. Tempus is also neutral, which I feel like fits Yeosang's vibe pretty well. So he's essentially a soldier that can also do cleric things lmao. He also has knowledge of weapon and armor forgery, and made a few things out of adamantine, a very rare metal that can only be forged in one hidden forge that he and Mingi found. He was one of the people traveling with Seonghwa and cleric!reader on a mission before getting separated, and travels with Mingi. He has a couple longswords that he likes to use, including one made out of adamantine with a shield to match, and uses a longbow that can give him an extra spell if he does enough damage with it.

San: He's gonna be a Rogue and a Ranger, but mostly Ranger. So Rangers are scouts/trackers, are in tune with nature (not as much as druids but they know things lmao), and can cast a few spells for some razzle dazzle. Specifically, he's gonna be a Gloom Stalker Ranger and an Assassin Rogue, so he attacks from the shadows and can ambush people before they even have the chance to scream, scary shit. He's a Two-Weapon fighter and uses double short swords, and has a crossbow that can take down big monsters, but he's got another dagger that does extra damage when he ambushes people from the shadows. Long story short, there's only one way to get this dagger, which reveals the true nature of why he's a gloom stalking assassin. His traveling companions, Wooyoung and druid!reader, know and are completely cool with it. 😅 I'm not gonna get into Favored Enemies and Natural Explorers too much bc rangers get a bunch of them and we'll be here all day. But I will mention that he's a Beast Tamer than can summon familiars, so he can literally be like "this is my rabbit!". And yes, the rabbit's name is Mito. 😂

Mingi: We're going full Fighter for Mingi, which is exactly what it sounds like. Gonna make him an Eldritch Knight for a little razzle dazzle too. Eldritch Knights can cast spells and magically bind their weapons to themselves, so he can boomerang any weapon he wants much like what Yunho can do. The main weapon Mingi uses is an adamantine trident, which doesn't exist in the game but fuck it, I'm giving it to him. He also has adamantine armor, which he and Yeosang forged in that one forge that most people don't know about lmao. The spells he knows mainly do ranged damage, so yea he's gonna be a knight with ✨ pizzazz ✨ for sure. As far as fighting style, his is Defense, so he gets a little bonus when he's wearing armor. I can just imagine him throwing his trident at someone, and then when it comes back he points it at them like "aight lets fight". All of them can really make an entrance fr, but with Mingi yea that image really makes sense. He was one of the people traveling with cleric!reader and Seonghwa on a mission, and travels with Yeosang.

Wooyoung: Definitely Bard, definitely lute playing bard (which is why i asked if he knows any instruments). So they're the traveling performers and are also storytellers and artists. Bards have a lotta rizz and can basically talk their way out of any situation. Bards can also support their allies in a fight really well and can cast a lotta spells. Something funny that Bards use is Vicious Mockery, which is dealing damage to their enemies through insults. Sounds pretty on brand for Wooyoung 😅. He travels with San and druid!reader, and let's just say he knows why San has that special dagger, and is happy San is on his side. He himself uses a longsword that can use song empower his allies or do extra damage to his enemies.

Edit: the evil team of druid!reader and San needed to do more damage, so Wooyoung is a College of Swords Bard. He can still cast spells (like a lotta spells), but he's also a master swordsman and can do really cool things with his weapons.

Jongho: We're going Monk for Jongho. Monks are actually hella tough and fight hand to hand and with their staffs. Martial arts experts that're not to be fucked with. I'm thinking Way of the Open Hand monk for him, which doesn't even need a staff they just beat the shit outta people with their bare hands and can easily stun and knock their opponents out. Since Jongho is really strong, it'll make him even more powerful. He does have a staff that has the power to turn an opponents spell back on them, hella useful. He'd also have an arsenal of different gloves he can wear to change the damage he does, like fire, lightning, etc. Something else cool monks can do is if someone shoots them with an arrow, they can redirect it back to the shooter it's hella cool. So yea, seems calm and collected and serene but will fuck you up I love that for him. I say this, but I am debating on making him a Way of the Four Elements monk, which is exactly what it sounds like.

Cleric!reader: So this is the Cleric from the paladin!hwa piece. You are a Light Domain Cleric of Lathander, the neutral good god of birth, dawn, and renewal (also known as the Morninglord). Because of this, you have a lot of light powers, and a few fire powers for a little bit of razzle dazzle lmao. Originally, you went on a mission with Seonghwa, Mingi, Yeosang, and a few other people. After ending up separated from the others, your main traveling companion is Seonghwa, and you fall in love as you travel together.

Druid!reader: Hehe made an evil druid. So druids are really in touch with nature and are all about preserving the natural order. You have lots of elemental spells, some healing magic, can commune with animals, and can even turn into animals. Specifically you're a Circle of the Land druid, which means you can tap into some really powerful magic and can cast more spells than other druids. You are an elemental menace and most of your powers involve conjuring different hazards like entangling vines, patches of sharp thorns, icy storms, and even walls of fire. You travel with San and Wooyoung and have a dark past very similar to San, which gives you a dark secret of your own that of course, the other two know and are completely cool with. With your powers combined, you're lowkey the most menacing villain squad there is.

Patron!reader: You're the demonic entity that gives Yunho his Warlock powers. You are a Tanar’ri, or pure demon, straight from the Abyss. Now, you reside in Minauros, the greed ring of the Nine Hells. You serve under Mammon, archdevil of Greed, and secure contracts and pacts with mortals on his behalf. It's Yunho's greed for power that drew you to him. Your true demon form is gigantic with the lower half of a large serpent and the upper half of a person, four arms, fangs, claws, bat-like wings, snake-like eyes, and four horns that coil atop your head like a crown. You can shapeshift, but honestly Yunho prefers (and simps over) your true form, which is makes things a bit easier. Much of your power revolves around fire, which is why you imbue Yunho with a lot of fire spells. You let him use his powers as he sees fit, so long as he serves you as you see fit. As part of your pact, you visit Yunho every full moon. There, he can ask for more power, and you can grant his request, for a price. Quite often, that price involves you dominating him and toying with him however you want, a price he's all too willing to pay. And as an added caveat, he's not allowed to cum at any other time, not until you say he can, another aspect of this he quite enjoys. So every full moon, he looks forward to when you come to collect tribute from him, taking pleasure in the way you play with him, calling him pet or pup the entire time.

Terror. Madness. Grief. It flashed all through Regis head when they got safely back to Insomnia. Poor Noctis cried the whole time for Luna. Luna and Ravus, he left them in their enemies hands. He sweard to Sylva, that he will get them back. Niflheim would pay for their crimes ! After leaving exhausted Noctis in hands of his caretakers, Regis went alone to the Crystal chamber. To have a word with his ancestors who silently observed their lifes. 

--

Regis ordered everyone to leave. No one understand why, yet who they were to questioned the king´s decision. After that the chamber became cold, it felt even hostile to be alone there with Crystal. Regis  without any pretensions summoned the power of the ring after more than eight years since he lost her, love of his life. He yearned for his Queen so much, for her soothing touch, her breathtaking smile and a raucous laugh. Those joyful memories still hurted when he though about her. You left us too soon, my love. 

--

The kings and queens of Yore showed themselves before the current king. The time itself froze in the moment. A powerful magic was unleashed and Crystal reacted. 

“ Why did you called upon us, child?” said the Founder king strictly on his massive throne. Regis felt so insignificant in their presence. 

Drained Regis spoke to him as politely as he could. “"I wish to speak to my dear wife. She should be here among you as rightful ruler of Insomnia.” He stood there in anticipation, but no one showed up. The kings and queens were silent, until the Rogue queen took pity on him and said. “Young king, her soul is not here among us.”  Regis was shocked. “ Then where is soul of my beloved?”

“ What an insolence, to think a mere mortal could be in our ranks.” the Warrior king said offended, many of the attendees agreeing with him.

Regis narrowed his eyes at the old king. “ Let me remind you o mighty king, that you all were once mortals like myself. And you especifically should know, what it is to lose your loved one.”  One by one Regis looked around and exclaimed coldly. “ I ask you once again rulers of Yore, where is my wife?”  Yet again no answer was given to Regis.

“Perhaps, I can give you the answer, your highness.” a woman emerged out of nowhere before Regis. He fastly drew his sword in defense. The woman came closer unarmed, as Regis noticed. She looked very young perhaps in her early twenties. �� You can´t expect answer from those who Bahamut chained to do his biding, my lord.”The woman looked at him with regret.” A cursed line of Lucis Caelum, to never know rest. You were ripped from my lady´s hands, when she wanted to bestow blessing upon your bloodline, your highness.”  Regis was wary of her, yet something in him told him to listen to this child. “ If only I was stronger, then I could ripped Bahamut apart for his treachery.” the woman clenched her hand into a fist,” Your highness, you want answers that I can give you, my only condition is that you listen to what I have to say.”  Regis briefly thought about it, he didn´t see  harm in it.

“Let´s say young one, that I would accept this proposal. But first tell me, who are you and about what lady you spoke of to?”  curiosite got better of him.

The woman bowed deeply. “ Hope your highness will pardon my rudeness. I am here on behalf my lady, Etro. And as for me, I am her humble servant Andrea, but perhaps  you will be more familiar with a name  Leo.”  mischievous smile played on her full lips. Regis froze in place upon hearing that name. He remembered the ancient books, in his youth, that told about that name: Leo the beast of Etro´s gate and guardian of dead.

Funny thing, and huge spoilers for Dawn of the Future?

In the followup novel Dawn of the Future, Noctis and Ardyn (and Lunafreya) have to fight and kill Bahamut on both the physical and spiritual planes. It's glorious, go read it. It's all the DLCs they wanted to included in Final Fantasy XV in a novel and is basically the True Ending of the game.

It really pisses me off when Bahamut tells Noctis about Ardyn being the Accursed saying he was transformed evil by spite or whatever like SIR?? SIR? NO. No. Buddy. You literally told him he had to become the Accursed, that it was unavoidable. Like. Bro. Not cool.

It makes me wonder how much Noctis really understood Ardyn’s past and how much of that was shown to him in the Crystal.

Like Bahamut is literally like oh yeah that dude is crazy, he’s bent on revenge and brought the darkness lol. Like yeah what a nut job. I had no part in it obviously bc I’m god basically lol. You gotta kill him.

Sigh.

A bit of crack for Child of Mors: A List of Things Found In Mors' Desks (Ongoing Project)

*cackles*

There's lists going around among Regis and co and some historians on what the weirdest things found in those desks are. Here's some of the highlights:

a Cosmogony with so many annotations basically nothing is readable anymore

a shard of the Crystal (Regis will craft that one into a Carbuncle figurine for Noctis)

drafts for an indoor fishing place because Regis likes fishing

drawings Regis did as a toddler

picture of Mors's Shield Machaerad, cheeks puffed up like a chipmunk from eating so many Ulwaat berries at once

biography notes for one Augura Lucis Caelum (She was an older sister to a King and restored lost art. She got banished by her nephew for not conforming to his cultural reformations.)

carefully written and annotated profiles of possible wives for Regis (the last profile added was of Aulea, on which Mors simply wrote 'he will marry her')

a letter in an unknown language

a humongous picture book about Solheimr reliefs, also annotated by Mors

3 rocks

a lock of red hair so dark it nearly looks black

a love letter to Fabricas Lucis Caelum, the female King of Lucis who restructured the whole city and upon whose plans the modern city was build

a hate letter to Fabricas Lucis Caelum, the female King of Lucis who restructured the whole city and upon whose plans the modern city was build

stickfigure sketches ridiculing prominent nobles

a sheet of paper simply reading 'WHAT THE FUCK????' written by Mors and in pink glitter pen

tax forms with dicks drawn all over them

sticky notes full of insults directed at Bahamut

a letter to Bahamut apologising for those insults

Bahamut cared little for what was and what wasn't personal matters. He was tempted to simply be rid of the boy before him, but his death had the potential of releasing the scourge in the Citadel, something he'd like to avoid. For now it seemed dormant and detained, but one couldn't guarantee that it would stay that way.

When he was eight – it was similar to Noctis' own experience with the scourge in that manner, then. "Have you informed your superiors of this?" he questioned, keeping his expression calm, even if he was likely to have a conversation with the King. This boy ought to stay away from the royal family, especially the Chosen King. The scourge sometimes called out to its likeness and Noctis was already affected to a degree – he wouldn't want to risk it ruining the True King before he could fulfil the prophecy.

Perhaps having him fired would be the easiest solution. Bahamut could make it happen, if he so demanded it. A trip to the Oracle would likely solve the problem, but he had little time to waste on such an insignificant endeavour. It would be the boy's own problem going forward.

When the Messenger called out to him, Jackson was compelled to immediately obey and stopped in his tracks as he held his shoulder. He had hoped not to catch the other's attention overall, having heard many things about him, but it seemed that Lady Luck wasn't with him that day.

The harsh tone of the Messenger made him furrow his brows, confused as to why he was being questioned about coming in contact with the Scourge. Sure, his mother was a Scourge researcher that the King has given some funding too, but what did that have to do with him? Unless—

"That's a rather personal question, don't ya think?" Jackson wasn't planning on deflecting the question, but he did think it rather rude to be questioned in such a tone. He could've asked nicely. "If ya must know though— I was eight."

I hate fantasy artists so fucking much. they’re always like “yknow how I wanna represent tiamat in human form??? tiamat the five headed dragon goddess???? tiamat, queen of chaos, bane of bahamut, the many-mawed nemesis of the gods??? tiamat the dragon queen who is larger and greater than mortal minds can truly comprehend??????? conventionally pretty skinny (hourglass shaped) young white woman with a skimpy outfit. I fucking nailed it someone suck my dick already”

[kokorowoutsu]

-- RP: @skullboneandunown

skullboneandunown:

Oh yes. A member of our staff suggested that we start to reach out to fae that are having difficulty with fitting in elsewhere. We've had help in the past few months from a.... Dr. Strange? He's been helping us locate those in need." He doesn't know what to think of Strange. He's bizarre, and a bit of a dick. A few of the fae students can feel Ashe reaching out with her powers, but keep to themselves out lf nervousness. Dr. Mccoy eyes the students that snicker at Willow, and lets out a low growl akin to an animal. They immediately return to their tasks, and scurry off when Kumiko growls. "Well, Charles had this school in mind for decades. And for years, this academy was private, with only a select few knowing about it. We decided to open to the public after Donovan and his friend Silver enrolled here for college. Both Charles and a few of our staff believe that was the best option if we were to include everyone." He leads them up the stairs to the next floor and towards Professor Xavier's office. "This school is separated into four wings. The north wing teaches children from preschool to elementary. The east wing teaches middle school level students, the west teaches high school level, and the south teaches college level. For little Willow, she'll be taught the basics: math, science, literature, art and the basics of caring for Pokemon. In order for these children to be, well children, they also have an hour of recess to relax and play with their Pokemon, if they have them." They reach Xavier's office, and Dr. Mccoy opens the door for them. Inside was Xavier and Donovan, who was reading something in a folder as Xavier greets the group. "Ah, you've arrived! I trust you're all well? Thank you Hank. I'll take it from here, if tou need to teach a class."

The situation with the snickering children taken care of, Ashe found it hard to believe that the man she had met at Donovan's station of all places had been reaching out to, well, protect her own kind. For a moment she thought he wasn't such a bad person after all, but one memory of his smug look had a sour look on her features of wanting to punch him in the jugular. Lucky mimicked this with a 'stink face' that most cats might make.

Tuning in to what Hank had to say, the family followed slowly so they could get a good look at each hall. The hall that Willow would be studying in had Ashe glancing back at her daughter who noticed some children watching her that resembled orcs, elves, giants, humans... and even hybrids. She blinks and gives a small wave, some of the more enthusiastic grinning and waving back while some of the more shy hiding. Willow didn't feel the least bit overwhelmed among them, although she could tell some were different -- and not to mention the pokemon! Some species she had never seen before except in her mother's books that she could barely read. A few caretaking pokemon such as Audino, Blissey, Indeedee, and the like were among them as well with the teachers.

Following after Hank, Kumiko purred softly to Willow to settle her as they headed up to the Professor's office, and upon arrival, Lucky strode past them all to greet Donovan with a ribbon around his hand, his emotions displaying a greeting but also sharing his uncertainties about some of the older kids around Willow. That being said, Leon and Ashe greeted their friend once he stood up with a hug or a handshake warmly while Kumiko held Willow to her still, her tail swishing behind her once the door shut, the Garchomp giving McCoy a nod of her head in thanks on behalf of her trainer. With that said, Ashe had Kumiko set Willow down and returned her to her pokeball while Willow came to sit in Donovan's lap, Bahamut and Lucky hanging back a bit so their trainers could talk.

"Outside an incident with some older children that was quickly taken care of, all seemed well." Leon admitted, "I have a feeling she'll do well here." He turns his attention to Ashe. "Love?" Ashe had her reservations but nodded. "The one part that bothers me is she doesn't have a partner pokemon. I... kind of wanted to let her decide on her own. My family... and a certain someone..." She eyed Donovan then. "... were very adamant about certain types of pokemon, but honestly Willow usually is... well, like this." The girl was holding her Gengar plush tightly, seemingly off in her own little world, looking around, fascinated by all the fancy things the Professor had.

"I know it's tradition that first years at age ten get their partner chosen and they spend most of their earlier years learning about pokemon and what not. That's how my schooling experience went, anyway..." Ashe pauses. "... but what's your policy here? I do have a pokemon that can accompany her to and from school -- plus my Garchomp is like her a mother to her as well." She would never expect that from a Garchomp with how fierce they were, but Kumiko's gentle temperament laid it out plain for her to see that the Garchomp cared for Willow as her own.

"Otherwise... I agree with my husband and Donovan. I think she'll do well enough. However, my worry extends to older kids and the fact she doesn't like to go anywhere without that Gengar plush of hers." She knew how mean kids could be about safety items. "Can you guarantee they won't bully her for it, Professor, if I let her bring it to school? It's the one thing she keeps close besides that dagger you saw."

[astralbcrn]

Bahamut leaned against the wall, taking in the other's appearance. He had seen a few humans, but few dressed like the Adagium. He had kept an eye on Ardyn, but this was the first time he bothered actually showing himself. The other rising in rank spelled trouble, but he cared little as long as he didn't forget his role.

"It's good to see you haven't forgotten," the other Astrals had been fond of the once healer. Bahamut had never understood why that was – he was always meant to be a sacrifice, at least once he proved himself capable of becoming a vessel for the scourge. It was much more effective than having him heal something that kept spreading.

"You are free to do as you please, as long as you do not forget."

"I think it serves me quite well, not that I have much inkling as to what the title actually means..." Ardyn muttered, more than accustomed to strange things simply being in his living spaces. It was probably his imagination, anyhow, except for the strange prickling sensation he felt in this one's presence.

Then it clicked with Ardyn's hat in his hand and on its way to the coat rack next to the door.

"Ah--The blade-hoarder himself..." And that prickle? Fear.
