#Ignis the rooster

[punkbawkchicken]

Homework must be supervised at all times.

House roosters are the best of pets! Ignis can attest to that. He's a spoiled bird who gets to sleep in with me in the mornings.

If you're planning to get a house rooster, please adopt one! Roosters are often discarded without a second thought - they are seen as worthless because they don't lay eggs. Although jumpy at first, with patience an older rooster will come to trust you. Ignis was 1 year old when I brought him home and would run away from me. Now he follows me around the house and yard and jump up to roost on me when it's time for bed.

Most people who want a cute bird they can snuggle and kiss on really don’t want a parrot or any other exotic bird. They really want a house rooster they just don’t know it.

A complete breakdown of character names in Promare

Ever wondered why the names in Promare were so “wild and strange”? That’s right they have meaning(TM), and I decided to list all of em.

✮ ✮ Some general thoughts, before the list. ✮ ✮ Most of the names seem to be Greco-Roman, or from a romance language (in many cases, i was unable to identify just exactly which romance variant the name was referencing, but the meanings are mostly the same regardless). These origins fit really well, with the MANY mythological references of the movie, so I think I'm on the right path with them. With that being said, I don’t speak greek, and I have an extremely minimal understanding of latin. I tried to factcheck my translations as much as possible, but there may be some inaccuracies. I’m much more confident with the translations from romance variants, as I speak italian, and have started learning spanish at my university. ALSO. this list is only for character names, as if i got into the places and concepts too here, this would get waay too long. its already too long. god. ✮ ✮  peep the list under the cut ✮ ✮ 

LIO FOTIA - “Lion Fire”, Lio - name variant of Leo, latin for “lion” Fotia - “fire” in greek

GALO THYMOS - “Cocky and Spirited” Galo - means “rooster” in some romance langs (ex: portuguese, italian), i have a hunch that they just wanted to call him “cocky” Thymos - ~Thumos, spiritedness, could mean here: fiery spirit, greek

KRAY FORESIGHT - “Kratos/Strength Foresight/Prometheus” Kray - most likely lifted from Kratos, a personification of strength, as well as one of titans that help chain Prometheus in the myth. more about Prometheus in another post bc BOI there's a lot about him in Promare. Foresight - just the english word. (ironic here, as his lack is heavily referenced) also of note, is that the name Prometheus could be translated as “forethought” or “foresight”. meaning that even his name is a dead giveaway that he is one of the “prometheans”, aka the burnish. the prometheus~burnish thing is a whole other package though. BIAR COLOSSUS - “Bia/Force Giant” Biar - ~Bia, Kratos’ sibling, personification of force and anger. also had a part in the Prometheus story, greek Colossus - probably used as a synonym for “Titan” or “Giant” here (but it would be kinda incorrect, as a “Colossus” is rlly just a big statue of a dude. if it’s in that meaning, it’s probably in reference to the mechs?), greek IGNIS EX - “Fire Out” Ignis - fire, latin Ex - “out”, latin. VARYS TRUSS - “Diversity, Stability” GURL Varys - ~Varius?, diverse, different in latin. hello here’s our black character his name is (checks smudged note) umm diversity. Truss - “a truss is an assembly of beams or other elements that creates a rigid structure” [wikipedia] . i guess he’s like, a source of stability, and strength? DEUS PROMETH - “(the) God Prometheus” Deus - god, greek Prometh - derived from Prometheus, oh boi, i told you all promethus jsut keeps coming up. greek VULCAN HASTUS - its rlly just “Volcano Volcano” Vulcan - roman god of smithing, and yeah, volcanoes. latin Hastus - ~Hephaestus. greek god of smithing and volcanoes. yeah. also hephaestus had a (reluctant) part in the chaining of Prometheus. greek HERIS ARDEBIT - “Sun Burn~Burning/Blazing Sun” Heris- maybe ref to Helios, greek god of the sun. Ardebit - to burn, latin AINA ARDEBIT- “Lovely Burn/Burning Love” Aina - it’s actually a japanese name!, means “love and affection” Ardebit - see above GUIERA - “War” Gueira - guerra?, romance lang variant of the word for “war”. MEIS - “Mine”, and if ur rlly out there could mean “Month” Meis - ??? um. dative or ablative plural of “meus”, “my” in latin. also fun fact it means month in norman, though derived from a slightly different latin word. this one, imma be honest,  i’m not sure about. THYMA - “Victim”, hello here’s our third black character, victim, gurl. Thyma - means “victim” in greek.

LUCIA FEX - “Light Creator” Lucia - ~Lux? lucía? both mean light, in latin and in roman variants Fex -“-fex”,?? latin, derived from facere. combining word, meaning “to make”, “to create”. REMI PUGUNA - “Remedy (for) Conflict”, Remi - “Remedy”, french most likely Puguna - ~pugna, conflict in many romance langs. (ex: italian) +VINNY: he was just named that after a firefighter the animation team met, while doing research, so it doesnt carry any special meaning. anyway i still did do the research bc i love this funky lil rat, and vinny probably comes from vincere, which in latin and italian means “to win”.

✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: 　　 :･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ✧✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: 　　 :･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ✧✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✮ ✮ ✮ ✮ ✮ ✮ ✮ SOME FINAL THOUGHTS. ✮ ✮ ✮ ✮ ✮ ✮ ✮ ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: 　　 :･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ✧✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: 　　 :･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ✧✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: As the list shows, many of the names reference fire, light, and the myth of Prometheus. These are consistent with the themes of Promare, so I’m confident in these being deliberate references, and not just coincidences. But even knowing this, I have to admit, some names may have been chosen by the production team based on how cool sounded, not based on their meaning (especially when it comes to the side characters), but again, that shouldn’t discredit the ones with extremely clear allusions to mythology, or to words with special meaning in the movie’s universe. The names being from many different romance language variants, and from greek and latin, is also interesting, because it helps displace the story in space, and time. I may get into this in depth later, but in short: using mythological names, and names with diverse origins grants a story a grandness, and makes it more universal. It’s cool. And as a last note, i absolutely adore Promare, but if you look at this list of interesting, and cool names and don’t feel icky after seeing that the 3 black characters are named “DIVERSITY”, “VOLCANO VOLCANO” and “VICTIM”, I’m not sure what to tell you. Promare has issues, and we need to acknowledge them, and be critical of the media we consume. That’s all thank you if you got this far, blows you all a little kiss. < 3

but what if i add Ignis Scientia to the rooster. hm. 

[siren-dragon]

For some reason, I really want to see a Red vs. Blue parody with Final Fantasy XV. I mean, anything could go with Red vs. Blue, but this would be golden. Who do you think would be who?

Cor Leonis - Sarge (enough said)

Gadiolus - Simmons

Noctis - Griff (I can see it)

Prompto - Donut (just cause he’s the only one who could pull off pink armor XD)

Ignis - Lopez (silent, strong, and make’s sure shit gets done)

Aranea - Tex (resident badass)

Ravus - Tucker

Ardyn - Church or Caboose (toss up, but I’m leaning toward Church oddly enough)

Lunafreya - Doc

But what do you guys think? Would you change the cast around? I personally would call it Lucians vs. Niffs, but who knows?

✧༝┉┉  Ignis x Lucio - fisrt meeting ┉༝✧

I began to regret half of my decisions made this evening. If I hadn't drunk so much alcohol, or at least not mixed the different kinds of it, I wouldn't have lost Jahari. As I was dashing through the next lavishly decorated chambers filled with people, panic began to swell me up. How do you lose a lion? I was so mad at myself, and my drunken mind was making more and more bad and brutal scenarios. Squeezing through the people, no longer even trying to force myself into artificial politeness, I tried not to focus on noisy conversations all around me, ignoring each call they made when i was pushing my way through them. Somehow I managed to reach the main hall, and as soon as I passed through the threshold of the spacious room, I was hit with loud lions roar and a male scream. Immediately I froze, as the colours faded away from my face. Part of me was afraid to look up at potentially horrendous scene, but the sense of responsibility for the animal forced me to intervene (aka stop standing like a statue in a passageway). However, rather than a bloody scene, a much more friendly view appeared in front of me. Jafari surrounded with his body apparently frightened Count, smelling him to the man's distress. He seemed to be as scared as I was a few moments ago. Suddenly all the tension and growing fear has left my body, allowing me to calm down. I didn't even realize when I started giggling! I felt so reviled that laughing became the only right way to react. The Count apparently had a completely different perspective

"What's so funny , huh?" he snapped, forcing a courageous smile while trying to get away from the lion. It's strange for Jafari to take such an interest in a stranger without the growling, scratching and general aggression thing. He never liked strangers, so why the sudden tide of friendliness towards the man in front of me?

"Jafari, leave the Count alone, look at how the poor man is scared," I said to mine familiar simpering at him, ignoring the Count's question completely. 

"I'm not afraid!" offendedly he sniffed at me,  foldeding arms across his chest. Meanwhile, to my delight, Jafari decided to obey me and walked away from the Count, approaching me instead, putting his muzzle under my hand, seeking attention. 

"I have defeated much more dangerous and greater beasts in my life than this couch potato lion" he continued, much more confident and relaxed than before.

"Surely these must be extremely interesting stories," I said rolling my eyes. Here we go. Even buzzed, I could feel incoming waves of narcissism and self-adoration - after all, it wasn't the first time my paths crossed with banquet prima donnas. Apparently, the man assumed I would like to hear about his skirmishes. His face brightened up, touched with excitement and passion. I couldn't help but smile, as if my body reacted autonomously without consulting my consciousness. 

"Oh, I see you have a nose for thrilling tales, because you happen to be right..." with a grin on his face, he blew his chest up like a rooster. He glanced at me with a questioning eye, which made me a little perplexed. Did I miss something? A question? Jafari's snout was evocatively rubbing my hand  - Oh, yes!

"Ignis" I fianlly said, realizing I hadn't had a chance to introduce myself personally. I felt a blue lion eyes on me, sensing the message he wanted to tell. Speak with him, it will be fun - and if there's anything I can be sure of in life, especially when I' m tipsy, is that my familiar is rarely wrong 

''I won't mind if Count shares one of them'' I added with a cheerful smile. 

"For you it's Lucio" man replied, as he approached me, avoiding Jafari carefully, offering me his shoulder. What a gallant move, I had to acknowledge it. Guided through a charming palace, accompanied by colourful descriptions of great battles and dangerous fights, a feeling I had forgotten years ago - a mysterious tingling sensation around my guts - came back to me. Last time I listened to this unusual sign, I found long lasting happiness and people I truly loved - maybe the attentive Count of Vesuvia wasn't as black as they painted him? No matter what gossip the locals told me after the show, Lucio seemed to have much more in him than some had assumed. I wanted to learn more about him, to follow my intuition, and Jafari who hadn't left us openly supported my upcoming choices - especially when Lucio finally broke through and pet him (being declared "dog person" wasn't an excuse my lion would fall for).

happy new year!

I am so glad to have found someone so passionately in love with ignis as I am. God I love that sexy beast, even if his hair do makes him look like a rooster lmao

I adore Ignis!!!! He’s so classy and sexy, then makes the dorkiest puns. He’s such a delight

Those long legs, perky butt and gymnast moves...

His hair bothered me before honestly. It’s why he was second to Gladio and for a while to Prompto as well. But now that I know him better, I don’t care anymore!!!! His hair is incredible no matter what. My favs are still his timeskip style, the disheveled one and with his hair down. Imagine waking up next to him when he has a messy hair in the morning *SWOON*

Status Infirmos - Pt. 4 Mortem

Status Infirmos - The reader is from our world, and reacts to status ailments more severely and longer than any Eos native. Begin from Pt. 1, Viridis 

<- Pt.3 Dolorem

I'm fighting a giant rooster, you think to yourself. It's odd but you admit to that you've seen odder since you arrived here, and keep swinging your blade. It's a sunny day, and you're getting hotter, the sword in hand harder to keep up as your arms weaken and the world tilts a little. You flinch and feel ten times worse for it, but keep pushing through as you slice at a chickatrice. The momentum of your blade throws you off balance, and you fall down on one knee.

“______!” Ignis shouts from somewhere far away. You push yourself up with your sword, and shake your head to clear the fog and make the world come in to focus again.

“I'm not- I'm not too good...” You breathe out. The blurry world around you swirls like a Van Gough, the colours melting and flexing in greens and blues. You flinch again, except somewhere in the back of your mind you realise it's more of a convulsion than a flinch.

And then sky is all you can see, a swirl of white and blue with the tree tops bleeding green like ink on a wet watercolour painting.

Ignis sees you fall, completely dead weight back on to the grass, and he throws Prompto an antidote, barely dodging the cockatrice, “Prompto, ______ needs help!”

“Right!” He catches the antidote and runs to your side, and he knows instantly that something isn't right. Pouring the antidote in to your mouth is easy, and he watches cautiously as he waits for you to sit up, safe and cured.

You gasp and relief floods him, except it’s short lived as he realises with mounting horror that you're in a lot more pain. You scrunch your eyes shut and cry out, nails digging in to the mud as your whole body tenses.

“IGNIS!” All three men fighting the cockatrice turn at Promptos scared shout, and see you haven't gotten up yet.

“Give it everything we've got!” Their mounted and combined attack finishes the bird in seconds and before its body even hits the floor they're running over to you and Prompto.

“What happened?” Ignis drops to his knees by your side, eyes roving your tense body for injuries that could hint at another issue, but he sees none. However he sees your breathing has become shallow and rapid, and there are tears in your shut eyes.

“I gave her the antidote, but it made her worse! Are you sure you gave me the right thing?” Prompto holds out the bottle, and yes Ignis is sure it's the right bottle.

“Shit.” He looks up and down your body frantically, racking his mind at what to do as scenario after scenario and possible solutions pass through his mind. “Fucking shit!”

“Guys.” you sob out through the pain, letting them know you can hear them and asking for a solution all at once. The pain takes your breath away and you panic even more because Ignis is panicking.

“Ignis, calm down, what's happening?” Noctis presses, trying his best to remain calm and in charge when his team is struggling.

“Antidote is a poison.” He turns his supply bag upside down, eyes and hands roving over the contents as he thinks aloud. “It's how all antidotes are made. But this antidote isn't strong enough for ______. We just gave them another dose of poison!” He's not thinking straight, he can hear your strained whimpers and breathing as thoughts rush through his mind. What can he do? He pulls out a remedy and weighs it in his hand as he considers possible outcomes.

“I don't know what to do...”

You arch your back and scream out, voice cracking and echoing in the clearing.

“IGNIS.” Gladio roars.

“I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!”  He's looking between the bottle in his hand and you, “This could cure ______ but it could damn well kill them too!”

“Well you've got to do something!” Prompto urges from your other side, hand holding yours as you squeeze his through the pain. Your grip around his starts to loosen, and he panics as you start to go limp, your breathing is still shallow but alarmingly slow. “Guys!”

Ignis puts the bottle at your lips, hesitating only for a moment as he looks at your face, sees your eyes are completely unfocused and dull, and tips the contents in to your mouth. He regrets it immediately as you start to convulse, body shaking and only the whites of your eyes visible as they roll back.

“No, no, no, NO!” Ignis is scattering the bottles and poultices across the grass and he looks frantically through, his hand hovers over the one thing that could make this right, but it's one of the worst choices he has to make, and he's so lost.

“Ignis what do we do?”

“Don't restrict them.” His voice is cold now, devoid of any emotion as he looks at the orange feather laying in the grass, “Let it pass.”

“______'s dying Ignis, look at them!” The challenge comes from Gladio, and he's obviously disturbed and itching to do something to help. 

“There's nothing else to do Gladio. I failed ______, I should have considered every possibility, taken every precaution. They have to die now because of my failings. It's only then that we can use a phoenix down on them, their body needs to completely reset. They have to die.”

Prompto looks between his friends, sees Gladios angry glare at Ignis, who is watching your convulsions slow: He's holding on to your wrist, feeling your pulse weaken. Noctis speaks up, unsure but facing facts.

“What if it doesn't work?”

“It has to work.” Ignis spits.

“But what if it doesn't?” Promptos voice is quiet, and he looks down at your still body, only barely seeing the rise and fall of your chest. He's holding on to your hand still.

Ignis doesn't answer, focused intently on your pulse, while doing his best to ignore the rock at the bottom of his stomach along with the mounting guilt and the 'Yes Ignis, what if it doesn't work', whispering at the back of his mind.

He's counting the seconds between your heartbeat, and the time between grows longer and longer until it stops beating altogether. Grabbing the phoenix down he pushes it in to your hand, curling your fingers around it roughly, and for a moment nobody breathes, and the feather does nothing.

Nothing.

“Come on... Come on ______!” Ignis hisses, holding your fist tightly.

Nothing.

The feather goes up in flames and you take a deep breath in, before groaning.

Your eyes open to a bright sky, and around you the guys are subtly wiping their eyes, relieved smiles on their faces.

“Hey what's wrong, where's the funeral?”

Gladio gives a small laugh and a gruff “Not fucking here.”

“Oh, right... Status ailment.” You sit up slowly, Ignis' hand on your back.

“Steady now.”

Groaning you sit up, a wave of exhaustion and dizziness rolls through your head and you promptly pass out. Prompto's hand joins Ignis' on your back, gently lowering you back down.

“What happened?” Noct is pale and looks exhausted from the whole ordeal, but then the whole group does.

“They're alright, it's all just taken a toll on their body. They'll ache in the morning.”

If you'd heard Ignis you would be agreeing with him. You woke up in a caravan bedroom, the dim light of morning painting the walls a soft orange as it slips through the thin curtain over the window. Sitting up with a groan you gingerly rub your aching limbs, and notice something tied around your wrist.

“You're awake.” Ignis slips in and closes the door softly behind him with a click, and takes a seat on the bed next to yours. He studies you, gaze roving over the dark circles under your eyes, the bruises over your body, and the ginger way you hold yourself. “... I'm so sorry ______.”

You look him over, and realise he has a bit of scruff on his chin, his hair is slightly disheveled, and his clothes ruffled and dirty: He hasn't taken care of himself. “You're not blaming yourself, are you Iggy?”, your voice has a slight warning tone that’s not lost in the cracking of your sore throat.

“Of course I am, I should have thought, should have taken precautions against poison, should have had you stay back, shouldn't have given you the damned antidote or remedy!” You wince as his voice ends with a growl, “I'm a blasted idiot and I nearly got you killed.”

“You saved my life.” You held up a hand as he looked up at you with a frown on his face and a rebuttal on his lips. “No, you did. Poison on its own would probably have done me in, and yea the remedy made things worse but you did what you thought was best, and in the end you saved me with a phoenix down. I'm alive. You did that, and I'm sure that cancels out everything else. In fact it does, I'm the one who nearly died and I decree it so, so it's a fact now.”

“How can you forgive this so easily?”

“Because you're my friend, and I know you'll always have my back like I have yours.” You place your hand on his, noticing the pink ribbon tied delicately around your wrist again. “What is this?”

“It's a ribbon, it nullifies all status ailments.” He says bashfully, “We sent for one through Dave. We thought prevention would work better than a cure.”

Gladio shouts from the other side of the door, “And you're never taking it off again!”

Pt. 5 Culpa -> 

[mystech-master]

How would feel if Relius Clover and Amane Nishiki got in BBTAG? As mush as I like them,they would be difficult to include, not because of Ignis sense she's not like Nirvana/Ada and Amane being a zoner/turtle destroyer, but because of their Astral Heats involving Relius' tortures and Amane's age/parody transformations. P.S. Take this bit with a grain of salt, but according to a fake BBTAG roster leak, Rooster Teeth asked ASW not to include Relius because they don't want their characters tortured.

yeah that would be difficult. Plus I feel like some of them might just be rehashes of other shit, so some of them might just be really unoriginal.
