Omg Ardnis !what a rare ship!!(but I love this pairing too haha they are explosive) Can you do a headcanon for Ardnis family?

hello there anon! thank you for the ask and, yes, they are very much a rarepair ship. but gods, do i love it so much.

a headcanon for them having a family? well, first off, my ardyn muse is... not fond of children; it’s a combination of generally finding them irritating as well as a lingering bitterness over what he is and knowing that he’d outlive any of them if he allowed himself anything resembling affection for another person. being immortal is certainly not all it’s cracked up to be so he’s had to find ways and reasons to fill his time up and he’s done it with all sorts of things. 

however, that being said, ardyn and ignis starting a family gives me lots of warm and squishy feelings. a lot of how it would happen would depend on when in the timeline they’re at if we’re going by canon and i have a verse where ardyn is yeeted back to life by the astrals and he’s very bitter about it and if he and ignis hooked up then, well, there’s lots of children that need a home after everything. so if arydn’s been softened up by ignis, he’d be glad to help him raise some children. ardyn is also the type of man who would teach his kids how to get away with murder lbr.

but as a father, he would be dedicated and caring, no matter what, once he came around to the idea of things, no matter what point in time or plot or au i’d have him in. he’d be very resistant to the idea at first but it would quickly become apparent that ardyn would be a man absolutely dedicated to his family. that was one of the things that i love to headcanon died hardest for him was his wanting a family and a spouse. so for him to go from wanting a family to accepting that it would never happen to finding that ignis and he are parents now, be it through adoption or a surrogate or any other means, gods -- he’d be very, very happy and protective of ignis and their children. oh, he’d let them run wild in their own right and ignis would probably be the one making sure ardyn doesn’t overindulge and spoil the kids, but they would very clearly be loving with their children and with each other. 

ardyn would absolutely teach the kids all sorts of things that would probably cause ignis to have a headache but gods help you if you do anything with them that they don’t enjoy. their homelife would be chaotic and loud and there’d be times of strife, sure, but at the end of the day... they all love one another and that’s what counts.

besides, imagine ardyn fast asleep with a couple kids piled onto him after a wrestling match, snoring loudly and ignis has to call prompto to come take pictures for him.

i also have an omegaverse fic plotted out for ardyn and ignis where they do have children but that’s something to yell about in private typically since i know a lot of people aren’t into it. but i’ll yell if people want to hear about that too. that fic is FULL of angst just from the outline alone. lots of angst and boy howdy have i debated over giving it a VERY sad ending for the tragedy value.

[ardynzunia]

The wine clutched betwixt his fingers is not simply a means of returning the generosity Ardyn had shown for his birthday. A personal favorite from his collection, he'd brought it along for their next planned rendezvous as a sort of... exhibition of interest. An 'invitation' to get to know each other more, essentially. Should Ardyn happen to catch on, Ignis could only hope he wouldn't make a fool of himself. "Happy Valentine's Day, Ardyn." A gentle kiss atop fingers, nervous smile cast upwards.

Ardyn knew that Ignis had promised to repay the favor of his birthday at some point. But he had not expected the young advisor to come to him on such a notoriously romantic holiday. Pair the timing with the kiss on Ardyn’s hand when he answered the door, and he found himself blushing as he blinked in confusion.

It had been a very long time since someone had pursued him. Well, pursued him in a manner more serious than hitting a stranger up in a bar at least.

He takes the bottle of wine with thanks, than guides the younger man in with a hand at the small of his back. Just low enough to show interest without being lewd.

“It’s wonderful to see you Ignis,” He said. “and very flattering as well, that you would pick my company on such a particular holiday.”

FHey all! I'm sorry I've not been around much. I had some self care that I had to do for my mental health. I'm feeling a lot better and just an update: I've been working hard with updating Ties that Bind and God's Blight. Don't worry! I haven't forgotten about them! Afterwards I'll see how I feel, but as it's getting at the end of the year, my goal is to get those completed ASAP. I might see about doing a trade in December, just depends on how my life is going. I will also be making a few videos on Youtube going over some methods I used when writing Captive Heart, as well as giving my own takes on whatever interests me. I will update later when it goes up <3

For now, here is a gift fic for @mooglecharm . I was surprised she chose an Ardnis piece as her prize but I was very happy to indulge her. Please check it out here but mind the tags:

[moralhymn]

Ignis: I want to hear those three little words. Ardyn: I love you? Ignis: That’s sweet, but try again. Ardyn: Fine. I will behave.

[moralhymn]

I noticed that you seem fond of Ardnis. I was wondering if you could describe how you see them coming together and how Ignis would justify being with someone like Ardyn? I'm intrigued, and would love some headcanons/meta on the subject.

hello anon you’ve activated my trap card.

because, good lord, fond is putting it lightly. fond is putting it very, very lightly in truth. ardnis is my serious major ship for ardyn and ignis both and i! i just. i LOVE it. i love it so much. it’s a grand ship and i wish it was more popular but it’s sadly not but oh man OH MAN i wish more people were into it. 

okay but let’s see here. how do i see them coming together? well not very easily for starters. after all, ardyn is very much noctis’s enemy. he’s not quite an enemy to prompto, ignis, and gladio, but they certainly are within their rights to view him as an antagonist. that being said, knowing that ignis is very prone to wanting to know things? i’m pretty sure the fact that ardyn knows so much would always be a huge draw for ignis. like, ignis is a guy who likes to know things. he wants everything to be clear. he wants to understand them. and ardyn is most definitely an enigma wrapped in a riddle wrapped in a mystery. i can see ignis wanting to figure him out as much as he can right from the start. ardyn would probably tease him. he’d probably even indulge him more than once. ardyn’s very much the sort to toss out random bits of information ( that can be positively fact checked and clearly truthful. ) to ignis to keep drawing him in.

the fact that i’m quietly convinced that ardyn is everyone’s type ( more or less. ) probably helps too. 

a lot of in-game interactions between ardyn and ignis also lend me a lot of support for the idea of there being something going on there, a sort of mutual attraction if you will. ardyn goes out of his way to mess with ignis even more than he does with noctis. like, yes, ardyn wants noctis dead. he does torture prompto. but he never really bothers with gladio or prompto or noctis the way he does with ignis. hell, ardyn literally tells ignis he’s envious of noctis for having such loyal people in his life. out of all of them, ardyn reveals more of himself at more points in time to ignis than he does anyone else. now, it’d be easy to see this as ardyn trying to subvert ignis and all that, but that’s not quite how it’s ever read to me. ardyn very literally gives more to ignis than he does anyone else.

add in the fact that talcott is able to tell noctis things when he gets out of angelgard and that you know that neither prompto nor gladio are likely to have gone near insomnia, this leaves one person who would have gone to ardyn to demand answers. it’d be ignis. hell, it was ignis that did that. he plundered the royal tombs to learn about ardyn. he deliberately went out of his way to learn about this man and that was something that none of the others did. it was ignis who took the time to learn ardyn’s secrets and the truth of who he was. that is a major significant thing for someone like ardyn and someone like ignis. i mean, i’m sure ignis learned the truth somehow, but it was to ardyn he went to get it confirmed. and i imagine by that point, ardyn knew what he was doing so he just... told him. he told him and it was probably the first time in so long that he’d ever told anyone the truth of himself. and there’s a big difference between someone learning a secret you have versus telling someone you care about this secret. like, contrast verstael and ignis. verstael learned about it. but ardyn probably told ignis of his own accord and that made it more significant.

so, how did they come together? ( heh heh– okay okay i’ll behave– ) well, honestly, i think it wouldn’t be that hard. ignis is seen as the mother hen of the group. he’s had numerous expectations and responsibilities heaped onto him over the years, since the age of six. people just expect him to have an answer for something or to know what to do in any given situation and very few would ever give him any sort of acknowledgement or praise or anything else for this. so ignis has learned that he has to put the needs of everyone else before his own. he’s learned that others are a priority before himself. hell, i imagine that no one really bothers to ask ignis what it is he wants. what he wants to do. what he believes. and so he’s been dealing with this over and over for so long that he doesn’t expect anyone else to offer a difference in how they treat him.

and yet with ardyn, being ardyn? ardyn would ask him all those things no one else does. it’d definitely shock ignis, i’m sure. hell, he can be his own person without any expectation around ardyn and that’d probably be so liberating for someone like ignis. for someone to see him as himself and his own person? ignis would probably go wild over it and for it. after all, he’s been seen as only a servant for so long, by everyone ( and yes, this includes prompto and gladio, nevermind noctis. ), that i imagine that having the attention of a man as handsome and insufferably charming as ardyn would really get ignis going when all is said and done.

but that’s not all! it’s stated in numerous source materials that ignis is a very caring and maternal person. he’s not the whole soft side of being maternal. he’s very much the fierce protective side of things. for ignis, i don’t think it’d be much of a stretch to find him caring for ardyn very quickly once he realizes that ardyn, for all his behavior, is a very lonely man. add on ardyn telling ignis the truth of himself and it’s very, very easy for me to see them slowly growing into a relationship. and there’s even more! ardyn is a very smart man and he’d definitely push ignis and challenge him. for ardyn, he sees such potential in ignis and gives him a chance to show what he likes to ardyn. for ardyn, ignis is ever going to be amazing and a true force of nature. ardyn would fully recognize ignis’s potential and want to see it bloom in full.

they’re different in personality, yes, but theirs is the sort of difference that somehow clicks between them. they would know how to work against one another and work together at the same time. and the differences would be what truly binds them together. ardyn would challenge ignis but ignis would also challenge ardyn in equal measure. neither of them would be satisfied if the other party backed down and as a result, that wouldn’t work for either of them. besides, i honestly believe that ardyn would appreciate ignis’s bitchier side in all truth. he thinks it’s cute.

as for how ignis would justify it? honestly, i think even with knowing that ardyn is an enemy, he might have half a vague thought of doing it to get close. why not see if he can win ardyn over? but as time goes on, it turns into genuine love and he understands that his own personal feelings and desires won’t change anything. i believe, myself, that ignis would understand by the end of things that this is inevitable. he knows the prophecy, after all, as does ardyn. that’s what makes them a tragically wonderful couple to me. because unless there’s some kind of divine intervention or one branches into a different territory, there’s no happy ending. and i, apparently, am here for this ship being tragic and angsty as hell. that being said, though? i don’t know entirely how ignis would justify it to himself beyond recognizing that ardyn wants him to be himself, that ardyn has no expectations of him, that ardyn merely likes ignis for who he is. and i think that that’s a powerful enough reason to want to be with ardyn all on its own.

like, i love ardnis so much. i feel like ignis is the one person that would get ardyn to reconsider what he’s doing, even a little, but it’d also be a bitter pill for ardyn in its own right. he’s been alone since his mortal life and now, here’s this amazing beautiful young man and it’s at the end of things. ardyn has to cope with the fact that he gets such a short amount of time with ignis. and ignis has to understand that he’s going to be bereft of ardyn by the time it’s all over and that ardyn will end things with noctis one way or another. literally, their story would just be one of sadness. but, man oh man, ardyn allows ignis to get away with so much too. he really truly does.

like i have written before on how ardyn and ignis interact together in the game and it’s just so interesting to me that ardyn goes out of his way to bother ignis the most. it’s also interesting that ignis doesn’t say no when prompto goes “not your type?” to him on their way to altissia. ardyn literally offers ignis things that he doesn’t give to any of the others. ignis in turn shows ardyn that he’s willing to go as far as he does to stop him. and i think that’s just huge for both of them. literally, i believe that ardyn never encountered anyone like ignis before. and i think that had the astrals not been a bunch of complete cockmunchers and had they found some way to save both ardyn and noctis, ardyn and ignis would’ve been that couple that bickers constantly, kicked ass together in fights, and obviously been very, very in love with one another. they also would’ve had five kids and probably three or four cats.

and i just?

i JUS T LOV E THE M S O MUCH–

[moralhymn]

honestly im curious after seeing it on your blog what is sort of the foundation of ignis/ardyn or the dynamic? I've never seen the ship before!

hi there hello you’ve opened up a WHOLE CAN OF WORMS HERE BECAUSE I LOVE THIS SHIP SO DAMN MUCH–

honestly i– i don’t remember how i started shipping it. for.. context, i will say that when i first dipped my toe into the 15 fandom, i actually started as a gladio rper. he was my favorite, with the combination of the anger issues and obvious intelligence that he had ( and lbr gladio does have some serious anger issues; he’s not a bad guy for it though! it just makes him more interesting to me as a character because how many times is something like that shown having consequences? you see it with gladio and how he grows and matures. i love it! ) and my twin from another mother was like “why aren’t you writing ardyn?” 

me and my unsuspecting ass: “i don’t know i guess i’m trying to veer away from villains here.”

she just laughed at me. a lot. because she knew. she knew what was coming. so i, in my dumb naivety, forge ahead in the game and then i met ardyn and it was all downhill from there. especially after altissia. so i kinda… acquired ardyn as a muse and boy i didn’t know what i was getting in for. i really, truly didn’t. he’s come to mean so much to me as a character because he’s so beautifully complex. i have a serious love for seeing dark side characters, especially if they started on the good side of things, and between his flamboyant mannerisms, his speech patterns ( WHICH I ABSOLUTELY LOATHE TRYING TO IMITATE IN RP BECAUSE I NEVER FEEL LIKE I GET CLOSE ENOUGH TO THEM ), and his choice of archaic wording, he was practically gift-wrapped for me.

and his parallels to both jesus and lucifer are both seriously big draws for me too.

so, anyways, about the ship! 

honestly, i couldn’t begin to tell you where it came from for me or where i started looking into it. it just sorta… happened! i think it also happened in large part because i am honestly dissatisfied with ignis’s popular ships of gladnis and ignoct, seeing him together with ardyn just drew me in. i mean, i can appreciate those two ships and more power to anyone who ships them! if it makes you happy, then go for it! but a lot of gladnis is written in ways that set my teeth on edge ( and i must reference one fic where gladio was calling ignis baby. i am fairly certain that ignis would stab you with a fork if you tried that. ) and as for ignoct… it’s probably the fact that it’s a gross misinterpretation of the warrior-retainer archetype relationship that they share, not to mention how maternal ignis is towards noctis. i can see and understand the basis for both ships but they lack a certain luster for me.

but boy, for some reason, ignis and ardyn just have this fascinating interaction with one another. i could go into over analysis here on every scene they share together but i won’t, lmfao. but there’s something interesting about the fact that ignis gets especially bitchy when talking to or about ardyn, to me. i mean, ignis can be pretty bitchy in general ( and before anyone tries to say he’s not, he really is. his dialogue in the japanese is legit him trying to sound like a tough guy and he just gets so bristly when talking about ardyn. ) but there’s like an uptick in it where ardyn’s concerned. now, some people might go “but wait doesn’t that mean he doesn’t like him?” and, yeah, i can see that. but when you ship a rarepair, you reach for what you can get and are satisfied with things. also, everyone interprets things differently! ignis seems… acutely interested in some way in ardyn but there’s also other subtle hints of their interactions, at least to me.

two of the biggest factors are sagefire and ignis being able to tell noctis who ardyn really is once he’s free of the crystal, including his history.

now, exactly where could ignis have learned this stuff? the answer is, of course, ardyn. ardyn, whose new dlc literally calls him the sage. ardyn, who would probably answer ignis’s demands because heaven knows gladio and prompto don’t go near him.

also the fact that prompto asks ignis if ardyn’s not his type and ignis doesn’t bother saying that, no, ardyn is not my type, kinda… raised my eyebrows more than a little. ( also, ignis not really contributing to talks about that kind of stuff? hm. interesting. )

so i honestly believe that ignis has met with ardyn, more than once, to learn both sagefire and ardyn’s history. i mean, the only person who could have reliably told ignis about it was him. sagefire is another thing that i’m working out in my head but, you know, ignis is definitely a man who’ll pursue knowledge in all its forms and ardyn, being ardyn, being this two thousand year old being who can show him so many different things, would probably lure him in like a moth to a flame. and given how i view ardyn, i know that he’d respect ignis for his own person. not as noctis’s caretaker. not as a man who was being groomed to be a general. not as part of the flock. but his own individual with his own wants and desires. and i think that’d suck ignis right on in, to be honest. now, i’m not saying that the bros don’t recognize ignis as his own person, far from it - but the way that they handle things just kinda shows that, as tight as they are, there’s misunderstandings between them. 

i just see ignis and ardyn having this super dazzling chemistry and interesting influence on one another as well. like, ardyn might sleep around, but if he finds someone who can stand as his equal, the way i see ignis being able to, then you’ve got his interest securely on you and that can be a powerful, frightening thing, to be honest. after all, it’d make one wonder what it is about them that would bring in the attention of a man who’s seen so much and done so many things in his life, right? but ardyn would see ignis for his intelligence, his skill, probably even finding his sharp tongue and wit charming too. and there’s the fact that he never seems to take any action against ignis either. i mean, even in altissia, he doesn’t really fight ignis; he just kinda makes a few cursory gestures but overall? ignis beat the snot out of him and ardyn just seemed to take it. i mean, yeah, there was probably the whole “oh you can’t really do anything to hurt me” deal, but this is ardyn we’re talking about here. ardyn, who messes with the other three something awful, after all.

but ignis? he literally stops him with a raised hand at the stronghold. he’s impressed by him putting on the ring ( and rather surprised ). he probably taught him the sagefire technique. and i will never shake the idea that it was ignis who got ardyn to talk about himself, his past, his relation to the lucis caelum bloodline, and so much more. 

i just honestly find their dynamic so fascinating to look at and to explore. i think that out of all four of the bros, ignis would be the one ardyn would go for anyways. prompto, he already knows how to handle. gladio? well, ardyn’s just going to irritate him. noctis? he hates the poor kid. but ignis? ignis would definitely make ardyn’s head turn so fast that it’s a wonder it doesn’t fly off his neck. so, yeah, i just think that out of all the people ignis could hook up with, ardyn would probably just lure him in so fast and so hard that it’s amazing to me. 

so i guess the foundation is, in the end, this whole… ( vague hand gestures. ) this whole deal of thinking that they’d just have this super magnetic interest in one another. i mean, yeah, even after altissia? yeah, even after altissia. it just? i don’t know. i think that in some ways ignis would lure ardyn in as well for how he’s both selfish and selfless at the same damn time. ardyn would crave that level of devotion for himself, since it was something he lost before he was cast out of history. to see it in ignis? oh, it’s just like icing on the cake. how can he resist that? he wouldn’t be able to.

i just have a lot of reasons and viewpoints for this ship and oh my god i rambled i will shut up now.

[moralhymn]

so, after 2.5 years of shipping it and a few days of hard work, i’ve finally done it. i’ve finally drawn art of my ship. i’ve finally drawn ardnis art with my own grubby gremlin hands. i have two of them and a tablet and i WILL make ths ship more widely known. 

just know that i worked hard and i had to deal with CSP crashing a couple times and still, STILL, it came out decent to an extent. i can see flaws but eh. for my first complete digital art in several years, i’m allowed to be proud of it.

[ardynzunia]

Ardyn x Ignis?

Who said “I love you” first They both knew, but were dancing around it for awhile. Then Ardyn had one of his bad days, and made a drunken, mumbled confession into Ignis neck that night in bed. He repeated it the next morning to make sure the younger man knew he was sincere.

Who would have the other’s picture as their phone background

Ardyn has an embarrassing picture of Ignis on his phone. He’s sleeping in a camper chair with his mouth open. It annoys Ignis but Ardyn maintains that he’s adorable.

Who leaves notes written in fog on the bathroom mirror

Ardyn, Ignis whines about having to clean up the streaks, but not so secretly enjoys it.

Who buys the other cheesy gifts

They both do. Ignis especially likes to buy pun based things that remind him of Ardyn’s personality.

Who initiated the first kiss

Ardyn, it was a case of him goofing around before they officially started dating.

Who kisses the other awake in the morning

Ardyn, gentle kisses up Ignis’ shoulder and to his neck. (Ignis is an early riser, but Ardyn rarely sleeps, and when he does it isn’t for long.Also because of this Ignis doesn’t usually wake Ardyn when he sees him asleep. The advisor knows he needs the rest.)

Who starts tickle fights Ardyn, but he always loses. That pinpoint accuracy appears in any fight Ignis takes part in.

Who asks who if they can join the other in the shower Ardyn asks at first, But Ignis surprises him one day with a shoulder massage before slipping into the bath behind him. After that they get into a rhythm where they can sort of figure out when slipping in is best.

Who surprises the other in the middle of the day at work with lunch

Ardyn, being a thief means he has a lot of leisure time that Ignis doesn’t. It’s usually brought from one of the Ignis’ favored restaurants. But occasionally it’s something homey and so old the recipe is only known to Ardyn, these are the ones Iggy loves the most. Both for the sentimentality and the opportunity to try a recipe lost to time. 

Who was nervous and shy on the first date

Ardyn, he hasn’t been on a date or had a serious relationship in a very long time. It sort of hits him all at once when he meets Ignis for their night out.

Who kills/takes out the spiders Ardyn swoops in to take them out cause Ignis will just kill them. He says it’s “out of respect for my fellow weaver” (Ignis starts taking the time to remove them rather than kill them afterwards.)

Who loudly proclaims their love when they’re drunk Ardyn, usually with very bad singing involved. Ignis also proclaims his love, but it’s usually an indoor voice where he’s rambling to one of the choocbros, or to a stranger he *thinks* is one of the chocobros.
