Papa Ravus and twin daughters -3-
Hello and sorry for taking so long! Hope you understand it’s taken me a while.
Here’s the first Papa Ravus post, and here’s the “Ardyn with twin daughters” post that seemed to have inspired requester to also drop this one. :3
It’s been a while since we’ve been in Papa mode, but let’s see what happens  (˙︶˙)
Ravus with twin daughters:
Ravus chose to be single dad, romance is not much his jam but he does want to have kids, so he requested to rent a belly/womb.
King Ravus himself went personally with the lady who accepted the offer and he asked her “as a human being, not as your king, if it really is alright with you?”
Ravus asked she was medically tested first just to make sure it’d be as safe as possible for her to get pregnant.
Ravus worries that because of “a tantrum of my own” (which really ain’t tantrum, Ravy, it’s okay to want to be single parent
This man was put through so much pain in so many ways he’s grown a ridiculously huge heart and wants everyone to be okay.
His own cold, blank-faced way, but rly he’s just a cinnamon roll.
I am digressing.
Ravus checked on the pregnancy process almost daily.
You should have seen his reaction when he heard it was twins.
“My, what do we have here? C: King Ravus, it’s a baby girl!”
Ravus’ eyes go wide and he loses his breath and his heart drops to his feet.
“And she’s in company of a twin sister! Isn’t that wonderful, your Majesty? :3″
The doctor requested somebody bring him a chair and some nurse bring him oxygen.
No kidding.
Ravus literally loses the breath at that, he clutches at his chest and a hand blindly looks somewhere for support.
The gods bless there’s a nurse there to help him sit down and help him recover the breath.
“Ohmygod, your Majesty please calm down ;____;”
Eventually Ravus was able to recover the breath.
He’s so pale the nurse isn’t sure if he has to ask the doctor if they should make some blood transfusion
“Are you alright, your Majesty?”
“Yes, yes…I uhm…it was…shocking. It was only the initial shock. I expected a child; two is a surprise. That’s all.”
“A very wonderful surprise, isn’t it!? :3″
Ravus opens the mouth to reply but all that he does is shut the mouth and nod, looking upset in some way nobody can read.
Omg everyone shut up bc nobody’s sure what’s in his head.
Ravus goes back to his blank expression and unmovable attitude for the rest of the appointment and then goes back to his chambers.
Lunafreya is there (nobody died and no years of darkness AU because I need it okay, shut up)
“Brother! How did it go? :)”
Ravus breaks down in front of her.
He just looks at her in total silence some moments, and then his face transforms into a frown of mere pain and sadness.
Ravus stays quiet for some long seconds just looking at her with his ever-second-more-pained expression.
He puts the head down and just starts crying.
Lunafreya approached him, worried, and grabbed his hand to silently guide him nearby a chair. She had wanted him to sit down but he didn’t, he just kept the hands on his face and cried and cried.
She sat instead, and he went down on his knees in front of her and she let him rest his head on her lap, and he cried and cried while she caressed his hair.
He seems so broken omg Lunafreya is EXTREMELY WORRIED.
She’s thinking there were bad news, that they could have lost the baby, that there were complications or something as terrible.
“…they’re twin girls, Luna” Ravus cries out to her, unable to stop crying. “I am having two baby girls…”
Luna takes a moment before she understands and feels great peace in her heart.
Still she doesn’t stop caressing his hair.
“But then why are you crying, brother?  (˙︶˙)”
“…I am just…so happy…”
Ravus is so happy it literally hurts.
This poor creature.
He cried to exhaustion, the poor thing.
He’s impossibly happy, he’s also a bit sad because he doesn’t understand how “after all the terrible actions I did in the past” he “deserves this amounts of happiness and this blessing”, and he’s excited but also a bit scared because he’s going to be a first time dad, and he’s not sure he can handle two girls.
It’s not that he’s scared of not being capable of handling them, it’s that he “doesn’t want to ruin their lives”.
Ravus please you’ll do great just calm down
If you thought him overdramatic by checking on the pregnancy daily, imagine him now that it’s close to the day of birth and that these are TWINS
Omg he read on the net that that’s twice the risks
Ravus, stop reading on the net, it’ll only make you more paranoid
Don’t worry, everything turned out fine when it was the day
Ravus tried to be present during birth but he exited bc he’s so tense and nervous he’s sure he’s going to pass out
But as a dad he’s in debt with the lady that rented him her womb so it’s only right that he stays by her side during the pains and all.
The doctor is sure Ravus passed out at least twice
Nobody can tell because he’s sat on a chair at a side holding the lady’s hand and sometimes he rests the forehead to the bed
At first they thought he was just trying to calm down
Doctor now swears he actually passed out multiple times
Ravus has a poor management of emotions, please comprehend him
When they were born, Ravus refused to hold them because he’s shaking too much
He only looked at them in total shock and when they offered he carried them, he just tried, burst out crying, handed them back and he had to go a long way between crying, exiting for a breath, walking around, crying a bit once more and taking another breath before he was capable of trying again.
Which was good, that gave time for the babies to be with biological mommy (that’s so necessary post birth omg the poor creatures are terrified and need their mom)
Wow I thought I had nothing to say, I’m a deep way into this and the babies are just being born
I hope you’re not bored, anon
Ravus just gives me so many feels, Papa!Ravus skyrockets them.
When he finally held them, he didn’t let go in hours.
He only  let go when the doctor requested it and explained they needed to be looked after just to  make sure it’s all fine.
All the time he held them Ravus was super quiet and he looked between serious and sad, but wasn’t crying anymore.
The next few months, Ravus is switching all his attention (that doesn’t interfere with the most important king duties to attend) between attending the babies and the lady.
Ofc they ain’t married and she’s not gonna be there after she heals, but if she needs recovery that’s bc of pregnancy and she did it so Ravus could have his baby girls,and pregnancy isn’t easy in any moment so he’s in debt with her
That’s a gentleman doing things right, people, attending and being properly grateful
You learn from him
King Noctis sent Ignis and lady Iris his way; Ignis can attend minor royal duties for him and Iris can look after either the babies or the lady.
Not like Ravus doesn’t have his own advisor and attendants, but a little extra help never harms
He’s a king but he’s also a human being being dad for the first time YOU LET HIM TAKE THE CROWN OFF FOR A MOMENT, OKAY!? >:(
Once the lady recovers, he’s dedicated that time for his babies.
You should have seen this man preparing the room for his babies
He was a bossy mess of “BUT WHY THIS TONE OF GREEN, I ASKED EMERALD NOT GRASS THEY’LL BE MY PRINCESSESS THEY DESERVE A PRETTIER GREEN >:(”
“BUT WHY IS THIS CRIB SO FAR FROM THE OTHER- you know what never mind get rid of these cribs I WANT A DOUBLE SIZE DONE, these are TWINS, they HAVE to be together, WHAT WAS I THINKING”
“OHMYGOD I KNOW I HAVE TO BE IN COUNCIL RIGHT NOW BUT IF I LET THE PAINT DRY OUT THEN THIS TONE OF PURPLE WILL BE DIFFERENT TO THAT TONE OF PURPLE, DO YOU WANT THIS ROOM TO NOT BE PERFECTLY SYMMETRICAL!?”
“what if they don’t like green”
“WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT’S PRETTY LIKE THIS, NO, THIS BLOODY PAINT WHAT WAS I THINKING I NEED AN ARTIST I CAN’T DO IT MYSELF”
“what was I thinking this is beautiful but has no emotion”
“WHY DID YOU BRING ME THIS SHADE OF WHITE, IT’S LIKE CLOUDS AND I ASKED PEARL”
“Ravus, you’ve painted this five times already”
“I NEED IT TO BE PERFECT >:’‘‘(”
He still can’t handle his emotions.
But don’t worry this happened long before the babies had to occupy the room so all paint is dry
They stayed there a few hours
then ravus grew paranoid and had their crib be taken to his room
all this effort just so he ended up with them in his room
Ravus is randomly waking up in the middle of the night to check on them, even when they don’t cry
He likes to spend a lot of time just staring at them
Both have his shade of grey on the little locks of hair on their heads
Ravus likes to stare because each time he finds something like a birthmark, the way or direction the hair grows, the shape of eyelashes, little tics, etc
Besides, like in the original post, he’s philosophied so much on the meaning of ‘daughter’ and ‘twins’ that he’s marveled by their presence, and it’s a strange concept and he loves it
Ravus is scared of learning to change diapers
It’s his Magitek arm
He doesn’t want to accidentally hurt neither of them
At first he tried learning with only an arm
He grew frustrated
Look at how adorable of a dad this man is:
Ravus is going to wear a wool glove on his Magitek hand so that it’s soft and warm to the touch for baby girls
He’s grateful for attendants and nannies because having a baby is very time consuming and he has TWO newborns, and he’s in charge of an entire kingdom, but really he wants to learn all that a normal dad and mom learn and spend time with them.
That’s why he’s changing diapers even though in theory he doesn’t even need to
Little girls won’t allow anybody that isn’t Ravus to bathe them.
They’ll complain and cry if somebody tries, and Ravus has to go hold them and do it himself.
Ravus likes to bathe them at the same time, so they spend time together and that way he’s not taking the eyes off neither of them
Baby girls are spending the while together, but really their main focus is given all to Ravus
They’re staring and giggling and making grabby hands at him all the time while he’s bathing them instead of playing together
Ravus isn’t what you call ‘Playful’, so he’s not playing with them; he’s just taking a motherly care of them and worrying
Whenever they make grabby hands at him or seem impatient, Ravus caresses their cheek very tenderly and lovingly, and they either burst giggling or make a baby soundof agreement/pleasure
Ravus is mostly blank faced even now with his kids
Except now it isn’t “I am angry at you, him, her, they, us, it and myself and I hate the world” kind of blank face, but rather “I am calm, a bit worried, quiet”, looking almost sort of naive, even.
Ravus takes his time bathing them.
He’s scared of accidentally hurting or dropping or any accident happening
He’s the silently-paranoid kind of dad
Sometimes baby girls like to splash water on each other; Ravus smiles every time
The babies are a lot like papa, and they aren’t a hyperactive mess, even though they do laugh and giggle and like to play around
When they started crawling, Ravus started crawling with them
He didn’t think about it, he was just sat on the floor with them, and suddenly a baby girl pulled herself on hands and knees and started crawling
Ravus was SO AMAZED
It was like a kid discovering a fairy; he’s all *GASPS* WOAAH .A. and so without thinking he starts crawling after her/at her side, staring as she crawls
Baby girl #2 got inspired by her sister and papa and started crawling too
“*GAAASP .A.”
Please don’t open the door,there’s a .o. faced Ravus crawling after a pair of babies
Ravus likes to put bows on their heads; Baby girl #1 always wears silver ribbons and Baby girl #2 always wears purple ones
Ravus isn’t fan of dressing them the same clothes because he doesn’t want to confuse them
“Why do people do that, anyway? Why do they enjoy suffering finding out ho is who?”
“Ravus, you can identify which girl is which when they’re only in diaper”
“Yes, but what if I see them from afar and can’t tell which is which?”
“Ravus, it’s just cute that they dress the same.”
“It’s ridiculous. Each is an independent and strong baby, each should have her own style.”
“…Ravus they’re seven months old.”
Still, Ravus just doesn’t see the point in dressing them the same
He does, however, enjoy dressing them in something that matches but isn’t the same
Like same design of dress, but different colors
Or one wears Mickey the other is Minnie (can I have Disney in FFXV pls)
Ravus wanted to be the one in charge of teaching them to walk.
The man got extra soft foam mats especifically for this task
If they’re gonna fall, they better land somewhere extra soft
Ravus spends hours just teaching them
He’s incredibly patient, you wouldn’t believe it
Whenenver one of the girls gets to walk some steps, he’ll receive her in arms and cuddle her for some moments, giving encouraging phrases, and then he’ll continue trying so they improve
Even after they master their walking, he’s going to stay there still “teaching them” just for the hugs
The three love them, dammit
Ravus lived a tough military life so he’s not playful, but he tries to have fun with the girls
If they wanna poke him, he’ll let them; if they want to make him laugh, he’ll chuckle; if they want him to chase them, he will..he’s not going to be roaring and making dramatic faces, but he wlil chase after them because he knows they’re having fun
Ravus, his own way, is sort of having fun too
Baby girls are yelping out and giggling when he’s after them
He stays quiet but smiles and chuckles at times
Omg you should see these girls when they think it’s safe, and suddenly Ravus appears by the corner
“AH!!!! AHAHAHHAHAHAHA! o(≧▽≦)o”
Ravus is just there like (˙︶˙)
Baby girls team up to “attack” him
Ravus always let them win
Ravus can hear and sense them when they’re hiding behind something or under something, but he won’t say a thing.
He’ll even get in a vulnerable spot and position on purpose, so that they can jump onto him.
“Oh! Oh no, you have got me! Oh, no, you are so strong, I cannot stand back up. Oh, no. The pain. I surrender; I surrender, my princesses.”
Ravus is a bad actor
But baby girls don’t know that and they’re SUPER PROUD OF THEMSELVES AND THEIR SISTER OMFG THEY WON AGAINST DADDY! ( ´ ▽ ` )
Baby Girl #1 likes to chew on his ear when he’s down there being attacked.
Baby girl #2 likes to smack his back
Baby girls, ever since they were tiny, like to takea cloth and rub on papa’s Magitek arm for some reason
They want it to be SHINY 
Ravus let them
Ravus was very wary of letting them nearby his arm, but he’s picked them up with it, has changed diapers, bathes them, and he figures he’s got no reasons to worry; it’s metal, but it’s his arm, after all, so he controls it and he would never do any harm to his babies
The babies may be quiet like papa, but they’re still incredibly curious
They’re trying to grab everything
Ravus used to be a paranoid mess
He got used very quickly to the girls’ constant attempts of grabbing everything that he’s mastered the technique Catch Them Without Looking
Baby girls trying to take the sword, he’s calmly taking it and putting it away
baby girls are trying to undo the belts of his boots, he’s reaching down to put them away
Baby girl #1 is trying to grab a glass and Baby #2 tries to grab a coin, Ravus keeps talking with Accordo’s first secretary without taking his eyes off her and grabs both babies without moving from his chair.
Baby girls like to play with his hair
Baby girls, when they grow to like 4 or so, start refusing to sleep until Papa goes say goodnight
Baby Girls call him “Dadvus” for quite a long while
Ravus isn’t sure who gave them the idea, but he’ll find them and probably smack and thank them at the same time
Ravus thinks art is very necessary in life, especially as a child, so he’s taking them to so many orchestra concerts and plays and dance performances.
Baby girls love it and always are a mess of clapping and cheering
Baby girls are performing their own dances in their room
Sometimes Ravus joins
Usually he just has to stand there and move the arms a little while baby girls dance around them
Lunafreya says it’s like a daemonic ritual and they’re sacrificing him to the gods
Ravus is also trying to get them into literature
He’s bought so many children book, he could make a library out of them
He does, actually
He gets an unimportant small room of the palace and asks it be turned into a library for his kids
As ages go it turns into the girls’ safe heaven
Every time Ravus knows one of them is sad, he’ll go to the little library and she’ll probably be there
Ravus is the best at comforting
Ravus understands pain very well, so he understands that it’s not about  making them laugh; he’ll sit with them or lie at their side (Girl #2 particularly does lie on the floor when she’s sad) and he’ll just stay in absolute silence all the time
Usually baby girls end up crying and climbing onto him or snuggling at his side
That’s when Ravus hugs and kisses their head, but still says nothing
Curiously, it’s that he never asks what’s wrong and only offers his company what makes the sisters grow confident and trusty enough to tell him without being asked
Ravus likes reading to them when they still don’t know how to
He’ll sit with both on his lap and the book in front of the three, so he reads and teaches them like that
Ravus won’t skip the page if a baby girl insists she reads it until she gets it just fine
Ravus can spend an hour in the same page just to let them stare at the drawings and repeat the same words
(sometimes they get so excited they read an entire sentence they’ll repeat it over and over)
Ravus sits at a side of their bed (the girls still want to share bed) to read them bedtime stories
When they were like 5 they asked him to do it but lie in bed with them
Ravus doesn’t get the point of holding a book above his face , it’s tiring
He’s not complaining just because each twin is snuggled to each of his sides
Sometimes Ravus doesn’t bring a book; he’ll just lie in bed and tell them stories
At first he was telling them stories he had heard or learned or that he remembered (maybe sometimes altering a few facts, bc it may be too explicit)
He soon starts inventing his own stories
Papa Ravus has more than once fallen asleep there telling them stories
The twins’ even breath, so calm and peaceeful, and both so warm snuggled at their sides, it’s very soothing and he just…falls asleep
If King Ravus isn’t in his bed at morning, he’ll be at the girls’
Ravus has FAR MORE THAN JUST ONCE
as in SO MANY MORE TIMES
SO MANY TIMES
woken up with rainbows and other things drawn on his face
Seems like it’s a genetic thing bc baby girls are showing themselves to be early wakers, except they’re still kids so they wake up even EARLIER than Ravus himself
Thank the gods Ravus always showers before starting the day or he’d have….
….well it DID happen twice or three times, in his lazy days, that he went to have breakfast before showering
He’s got moogles drawn on his face
He’s going through the hallways of the palace greeting everyone, with moogles drawn on his face
Speaking of moogles, the girls love them
SO MUCH
It’s from the days Iris spent as temporary helper in the Fleuret palace, and once the babies were crying so much but they weren’t hungry or sleepy or dirty, so the only thing Iris thought about was to give them a moogle plush toy
Ever since then, the girls want EVERYTHING moogle themed
The room is moogle themed; walls and bedsheets and plush toys and their old onesies and their pajamas
Ravus has sworn to Lunafreya he will burn the room as soon as they grow tired of it
“Why do you hate moogles?”
“I don’t have them. But they are obsessed. I’m getting tired of seeing so many moogles.”
Ravus once held a moogle plush in hands and glared at it
“…of course it had to be. My curse, set by an Amicitia. Bloody Amicitias.”
Ravus had to agree once to dressing like a moogle mascot for his kids during winter celebrations
How can anybody say no to those sparkly, huge, beautiful grey eyes?
Ravus is not going to repeat that
He would have, if Lunafreya hadn’t taken photos of him
King Noctis has been sending him moogle memes ever since that day
Speaking of eyes
Each baby girl already claimed one of their father’s eyes
Ohmygod that sounds so creepy 
Baby girl #1 says that the silver eye is hers, and Baby girl #2 says purple one is hers
(see what I did, it’s like the colors of their bows)
The girls aren’t allowed to touch the eye that isn’t their own
Because Ravus lets them touch his eyes
They are obsessed
“They are so pretty, papa, you don’t understand(」°ロ°)」”
Little girls are following Ravus everywhere, in a line, like ducks or chocobos
Ravus is mama hen
He’s going places and the twins walk in a line behind him
Whenever Ravus turns to face them, they’ll just look up at him and smile and say nothing
Ravus won’t question them
Ravus is letting them walk into the Council room and everywhere else except the bathroom
As they grow and Ravus starts attending his king duties with the time they require, baby girls start following him even more
Sometimes when they are “playing” (Ravus still plays in his strange style) and Ravus is called somewhere else, the twins will tackle or throw themselves to him screaming “NOOOOO” and try to stop him
It always worked when they were tiny, they landed on him and he was thrown on the ground helpless, right?
Nope ahahaha
Ravus is standing up with the girls hanging from him and going where he’s needed
There’s king Ravus, with a girl hugged to his back and the other hanging from his magitek arm
They’re biting him
Ravus is so strong and big he can just grab them by the back of their shirt or dress like they’re lion pups and put them down and away
Baby girls are waiting outside the council or throne room, sat in the hallway, arms crossed and refusing to leave until papa comes out
They’ll leave if Ravus, before or during or after his duties, gives them The Stare
It’s not mean or aggresive, it’s just a stare with a slight raise of the eyebrows and a slight tilt of the head that says “Baby girls, this is not right and I ask you to be good, please.”
Baby girls usually understand and stand up and behave really good with the nannies and allow them to walk them back to their room or the little library or the gardens while papa does his stuff
Ravus was put through such a harsh training and education when he was taken by Niflheim that he’s grown very wary and a bit terrified of nagging, and that’s why he sounds so soft with his girls
As in, he doesn’t like raising his voice at them or frowning or nagging them as normal
He’s trying to raise them in a way so that he can have soft but firm conversations and interactions with them so they don’t grow too pampered but also so he doesn’t have to raise his voice at them or anything
He’s just….so affected after Niflheim, that when he raises the voice just a notch at them and he sees their big and innocent eyes, he feels like he’s torturing them or something and he doesn’t want to be the bad guy :(
Ravus is raising them the “let’s express our feelings” way
“Clean your room, please” instead of “Look at this disaster”, “It’s time we go; say goodbye” instead of “how long are you going to make me wait?”, “Do not leave my side, okay?” instead of “where do you think you’re going?”, “Listen to me, please” instead of “I’m talking to you”, etc.
You thought Lunafreya could make a big change in his personality?
Pfft. She ain’t gotten nothing compared to his daughters.
The girls like to cling from his legs
There goes king Ravus through the hallways of the palace, with a girl hugged to each of his legs
Ravus is very strong and they weight nothing, so sometimes he literally forgets he’s got these pair hugged to his legs
He once walked into an important reunion with Niflheim’s Chancellor (a good one now that everything is peace, fight me) forgetting the girls were clinging to his legs
Remember how Ravus is grateful for nannies and such but wants to learn all that other dads and moms learn too?
Ravus asked Lunafreya to teach him to braid hair
The girls behave a lot like fairy tale princesses so they like to wear pretty hairstyles, and Lunafreya’s attendants or Luna herself always comb their hair as they want
Well Ravus wants to do it too
It feels important
Ravus was actually very slow at learning
It was already rather difficult on him, a Magitek hand isn’t much help
Ravus is practicing with a wig, and the hair sometimes gets stuck between the articulations of his metal arm
The poor thing isn’t giving up
He wants to be able to do this for his daughters
Ravus is going to practice every single day :’)
It took five months  before Ravus dared try on Lunafreya
Ravus is the slowest person to braid hair
THE SLOWEST
He’s still scared of causing any harm and he’s nervous, so he’s doing it very slow
Luna’s neck and back hurt after sitting wtill and tense for so long but she’ll say nothing on it
Ravus has self-esteem but after Niflheim it’s incredibly fragile, so he needs this confidence
It takes him another 5 months of practicing with Lunafreya before he dares try with his daughters
King Ravus is always late to his duties from then on
“What were you occupied with, your Majesty?”
“My daughters wanted a double braid.”
His daughters are more important than his kingdom most days FIGHT HIM
During royal balls, Ravus will always ask his daughters for a dance
He carries both and dances with both at the same time a song, and then he’s dancing with each one individually
It’s super adorable
He does that ever since they were babies and couldn’t even speak yet
When they were babies, Ravus would carry them and dance himself
When they grow and can walk no troubles, it’s even more adorable because Ravus has to bend down (unless the girls ask him to pick them up)
Giant Ravus bent down and reaching the hands down so baby girl can take them and they can dance
Ravus was very moody when they started going to school outside the palace
“How can you all trust your child’s education to absolute strangers?”
Ravus, that’s….that’s your Tenebraean people, you should trust these teachers
Ravus never had anything against school until his daughters started going
Don’t worry he’ll grow used to it
Ravus is secretly sending undercover guards to make sure the girls make it safe to school and back
Like they don’t already have the man that picks them up
Ravus has tried going himself but #KingDuties
“Fuck being a king ヽ(`⌒´メ)ノ“
“RAVUS! Language D:”
“…gently fuck being a king.”
Don’t worry he doesn’t really hate it, he just gets moody lapses
Little girls still enjoy wearing their bows
Ravus now can braid their hair and decorate it with bows
He actually enjoys doing that
It’s very relaxing and he spends time with his daughters, so
He’s fan number 1 of braiding their hair
He lets them braid his hair
He’s letting them put bows on it, too
Whenever he’s in front of the media, Ravus is going to ask each of his daughters if she wants to stay 
All the flashes, so many people, and all that noise can be overwhelming, so he’s not forcing them to stay if they don’t wanna
(I stole that from Britney Spears,omg, that’s a good mother)
Ravus is going to watch all the kid movies that the girls want to watch
Ravus will agree to dressing as the prince or hero of the movie for them
King Ravus is enemy number one to King Noctis on the social sites of internet during Night of All Saints (All Hallow’s Evening equivalent of Eos that I just impprovised); who’s got the best costumes, the Lucian king and his companions, or king Ravus, his sister and the little girls?
It’s almost always a draw
The girls behave like fairy tale princesses
Fairy tale princesses that love playing in mud
Some of Ravus’ clothes have had to be thrown because the girls always rush to hug him when they see him and sometimes they’re covered in so much mud, Ravus’ usual white clothing gets eternally stained
The only thing Ravus isn’t willing to do is cut their nails
He gets very nervous
Perhaps it’s a subconscious reminder; Niflheim gadgets, torture tools, all the weapons he saw, etc., so it just makes him very nervous to get something that he knows works to cut nearby his daughters
Ravus and his liking for art and how important he considers it to be lead him to teach music to his daughters
Except it’s been so long since he last had any music lessons himself
Niflheim and a war got in the way so
He’s re-learning with them
Ravus used to play cello, but he hates the sounds he’s making now due to his metal arm on the strings and the different sound it cause
So he’sp icking up flute
Metal against metal too makes sound, but what maters is what comes out of the air not the fingers
this isn’t an excuse for flute player moon raccoon to force flute onto one of its fave characters
Twin girls are picking Viola and Cello duo
Twin girls team up to still attack Ravus
Ravus now is showing “resistance”
Really he’s not fighting, just catching them beforre they land on him
Ravus will teach the girls into self-defense arts and the use of rapiers
Twin girls are going to grow becoming AMAZING fighters
Another thing similar to original post happens:
“Papa, can we get our own Magitek arm when we grow up, too? (ノ*°▽°*)“
“No.”
“〣( ºΔº )〣  BUT WHY \(º □ º l|l)/“
On their ninth birthday, Lunafreya gifted the twins one of those necklaces that splits in three parts.
The twins didn’t even need to ask, they ran to go gift the third part to Ravus
Ravus expressed later on to Luna that he would have wished it had been four parts because “you’re my family too, and theirs.”
Lunafreya explained that she knows and that nothing can change that, but there’s something very particular and special in the father-to-daughters bond, she wanted them to have something that’s only theirs
Ravus is going to wear it, along Lunafreya’s childhood moon necklace, every single day until the very same day that he dies
Ravus likes to sit at the gardens at night with both his daughters just to talk about anything and everything
He likes sitting among the flowers, not on benches
The three also enjoy of the silence of the gardens.
No matter how busy he is, Ravus will always go say bye and wish his daughters a good day at school before they have to leave
No matter how busy he is, Ravus will always go wish them goodnight
If Ravus can, he will move appointments or duties to later in the evening just so he can have lunch with the girls
Ravus will allow the kids to “camp” at the gardens
He’s also secretly placing a guard for the night to watch on them
“Papa, we want a chocobo :)”
Ravus wil get the damn chocobo no matter if he has to go to Lucis himself
Ravus will ‘scare’ the kids that he thinks are mean to his daughters
Really he just needs to stand there and frown a bit to said kids for them to run away
There’s not another kind of kiss that Ravus loves more than forehead kisses for his daughters
Each morning, each  night, he’ll kiss each their foreheads
He also likes to caress their hair as he does, or when they’re asleep
Even when they’re grown and in separate beds, Ravus sometimes still wakes up in the middle of the night to go check on them
He always tucks them in if they’re uncovered, and give a kiss to their heads
His girls are truly a blessing to him, he still can’t understand how he deserves this happiness and these precious girls, so he may be a bit overprotective and a bit “exaggerated” about loving them.
Ravus sometimes gets poetic with them about it
He has expressed to them about how he “loves them so much, I get frustrated because all the years of my life will not be enough to demonstrate it as you deserve, but if this is the only life I have got to do it, I will dedicate it entirely to you.”
He doesn’t mean that he’s going to gift them every second of his existance, just that everything he does will be done dedicated to them, thinking about them
Which, as consequence, drives Ravus to become a much better person of himself each day, and helps him to be the best version of himself :)
Aaah! Now that was quite a post! ( ´ ▽ ` )

Today I felt emotionally stable. I got a solid amount of work done even though I worked four out of eight hours. I had fun texting Jess. I want to call them hiro. I like flirting w them. Tho I would like to get to know them better. I don’t want to rush into anything and I wanna feel calm n comfortable around them. So far I am. I have yet to find out if we compliment eachother and if we will mesh. I think I just want to be myself around them and not worry too much abt labels or expectations. It’s good so far cuz I think we have common interests and shared hobbies like video games. So I def feel like we can bond as friends over that. And then maybe it’ll grow into something more or maybe it won’t. Kinda hard to know this early on. It’ll take time for me to feel comfortable opening myself up to them. I’m not gonna throw myself out there too soon and reveal all my cards. I’ll keep it reserved and wait for them to make some moves first. Seems p balanced so far. They said good morning to me n was initiating convo :3 so that made me happy. I’ve been doing a good job holding my infatuation back but also enjoying the rush of the moment. It made me said when hiro told me that they have neophobia, cuz I really like trying new things. And also I worry that their Coeliac disease might make sharing things more difficult since a lot of food has gluten. I like that they r pretty asian in terms of cleanliness and eating foods like natto and umeboshi. And they’re rly cute for sending me wiki articles of both those things haha. I was surprised to find out that hiro is 25 years old but I kinda glad bc I like more mature ppl. And I like how we talk in diff languages to eachother. I wonder what their friends r like. I hope they’re not all white cuz I’m scared of white ppl. I just don’t feel super comfortable around them bc they make me feel invalidated and so foreign. I think it’s cool they have a therapist cuz that’s something I’ve been thinking abt lately. Investing in mental and emotional health is always rly attractive. So are their hands hehe. It’s funny how we’re both kinda shy abt flirting w eachother. I’m not as forward as I usually am and I like that I don’t have to be to keep their attention :) and we also share a love and interest for art, which is something that is new to me that I’m really excited to experience. Cuz then we could paint stuff together and look at art museums together. But of course it all needs chemistry first. I wonder if we’ll have any physical chemistry when we meet in person. If it’ll be rly strong off the bat or be a slow buildup or maybe it won’t b there at all and we’ll feel super comfy w eachother. I wonder what our love languages will be. I feel like it’s easy to communicate love w other Asians even if they’re only half asian bc they understand both the American and asian perspectives. They thought I was 19 lol. Oh and we also both climb, that’s gonna b really really cool if we actually have good chemistry and friendship. They’re kinda shy and hard to talk to on phone tho. I hope that’ll change over time. I didn’t like how hiro called my island bald and was saying that I was leaving trash on her island >:( not nice. But other than that they seem kind and encouraging. Can’t believe I told her I’m attracted to the thought of their nice hands embracing me tenderly and they weren’t weirded out about it :D that means I can dial it down a notch which will definitely make me feel a little bit more stable and not afraid of being ghosted or it not being mutual. I’m curious abt their family dynamic and what it was like for them growing up w unmarried and mixed parents. I want to ask that but I’ll save it for later. I’m also curious about their pronouns and if they would feel dysphoric if I referred to them as my gf. BUT that can wait cuz I mean we’re not dating and I don’t wanna rush or scare them w the dtr talk. They seem pretty open tho so I feel pretty comfortable. They like olives also and actual legit lavender flavor. That’s attractive.
At first I had some traumatic flashbacks of jenna bc they reminded me of her. Strangely kinda similar. Jenna isn’t half asian, but she was adopted by white parents. Also her parents had an unconventional dynamic, the dad was a widow bc the mom took her life and the dad married a new person. Oh also hiro has tattoos and kinda dressed like her. But hiro seems more reserved and emo and I like that, and into video games. I rly rly like that :) and culture and art. I like I like. And rly studious. Me like hehe. And also gender queer. I also like hehe. And dorky n shy and playful. Def bonus attraction :D I p confident we’d get a long as friends. Def wanna solidify that first before doing anything beyond that. But ya I would definitely get in bed w them hehehe. They’re rly cute.
Anyway about my day I also practiced guitar for like two hours, played animal crossing w hiro, and hung out w EG friends. That was the highlight of my day. I rly miss em. We watched shrek and played some jack box. That was good. I had a lot of laughs. :) then I started questioning my feelings and the way that I love ray is related to the slogan from the half of it. “Not every love story is a romance”. Cuz I love that guy to death and at one point I had like mini moments where I’d really want to cuddle him or like be physical w him, but I think I just rly rly love how much he’s helped me grow as a person and supported me and allowed me to be honest w him about everything and anything. I really want to apply all the positivity and thoughtfulness I’ve learned from him to my everyday approach to life. I feel like I’ve gone from a really depressing person to someone who is still depressed but very excited and positive about life at the same time. And no longer had to desperately search for external validation or guess about whether or not I deserve love. I just don’t question it anymore who decides to give me love and who doesn’t. I feel very grateful for my friends and my financial situation, my own place and freedom and awesome coworker rex. I feel grateful that I’m still in touch with sean, kara, dixie, aish, my swe friends, Jon, and I get to have awesome conversations abt politics and feminism and funny memes w people everyday. Also my brother and my mom, eh for my dad. And also natalie and my brother who have been there since day 1. I can’t wait to explore what else is in store for me for the future and move on wo th my life. I’m excited to explore my relationship w hiro and see what I can offer and what they can offer. I hope they see value in my abilities to be emotionally sensitive, make delicious food, be methodical and logical and clean, and also have stability and boundaries and good articulate communication. I want to work on being less defensive and being more kind to myself. Not doubting when people show me affection and not questioning when ppl do nice things for me. My perspective on life and fervor to do the right thing. I want to finish my list of tv shows and movies and make some bomb ass paintings. Oh also the fact that I got closure w my ex and we’re on good terms now and they’re gonna hook me up w some film gigs :D I rly hope hiro isn’t the jealous type that gets insecure and makes assumptions abt my relationships w other ppl. I’m still scared from my relationship w bianca and paranoid abt doing the wrong thing and not having my boundaries respected. Not having my voice heard or believed. I want to see if it’s worth it to go all in first before I do. Bianca def dived in head first super super soon. Like our first date we kissed and she slept over. And I was pressured into doing it w her even when I hesitated. That was such a meh thing and sign I should’ve realized it. But my self esteem was so low I think I was unable to value my own feelings and be there for myself when I needed myself to stand up for my feelings. I hope that I can improve my social anxiety and be more kind to myself and respect myself more. I’m doing a p good job so far w that whole situation w my dad. Just keeping my distance so I can keep my sanity cuz I care about myself enough to not compromise myself for his shittiness. I love this time I get to reflect on myself. I really really love it. I feel so free. I can’t wait to talk to hiro tmrw

who gives a fuck what i say here
(tw: eating disorder, tw: mental illness)
i had a genuine fear of starvation when i was a kid, specifically from the ages of like 5 to around 12, and after 12 it was more of like a conscious thing. but my family was rly fucking poor, like dirt poor. like we lived in section 8 housing and we were on food stamps, and there was a lot of financial stress esp after my dad died. so i wasnt the first son either, and my older brother would naturally get more food than me, which makes sense i guess bc i was tiny back then but i just remember this sense of unfairness and then shame and guilt where i felt like i was eating up resources and that i was a burden. i was severely underweight at the time, but so was my older brother bc of shared trauma and mental illness, to the point where i remember when i told him about feeling hungry or tired, he gave me his own coping mechanism which was to literally drink water and sleep it off. i slept so much in middle school, esp with my fucking depression and whole coping with my mom going off the rails bc her husband was dead and she had to suddenly support her family after being a housewife for over a decade with minimal english skills. my older brother was just straight up gone. i was the emotional punching bag so id just stop being around the house as much or id just be in my room and sleep. if i got hungry, i slept. tired, stressed, i just slept that shit off.
now im still classed as being underweight but ive gotten so much better. now i can eat in front of ppl, most days, and eat regular meals. some days i will literally fucking binge eat and stare at whatever food i have holed up in my room, bc i need that fucking tangible security.
but i swear to god. i swear to fucking god one of things that gets me from 0 to 100 after all the shit ive been thru (tagged for later) do not fucking tell me what to eat. Do not try to control what or when I eat. Do not, oh my fucking god, tell me that something's too many calories--you should be fucking grateful I'm choosing to eat anything today, you don't know half the shit I had to do to get here. You are not going to take whatever enjoyment I have.
I'm 90lbs. This is a fucking improvement, I used to weigh even less. So you don't get to look at whatever food I managed to scrounge up and tell me I need to cut carbs out of my diet or something because you're trying to fucking diet or some shit, fucking eat me. you dont get to exercise control over my body and mind and health after years of putting up with so much shit that i cant even write out.
