2024 VS 2019 Redraw 📷

It's been 5 years since I've last drawn Noctis and Prompto but I still love them just as much (and ship them just as hard afhakagajk Promptis my beloved)

I remember I drew the original for my first Twitch art stream, so it's very near and dear to me 💕 I tried out some new effects and angles and overall wanted to test how much I've improved since 2019! What do you think?? ✨️

[lunarlegend]

it's usually Ignis who gets the worst of the ableist comments within the fandom, but every now and then i see something making fun of the way Noct runs and i just. lose it a little bit lol

[matchalilly]

LGBTQ+ Disabled Characters Showdown Round 1, Wave 1, Poll 2

A character being totally canon LGBTQ+ and disabled was not required to be in this competition. Please check qualifications and propaganda before asking why a character is included.

Check out the other polls in this wave here.

Ignis Scientia-Final Fantasy XV

Qualifications:

Blind, gay/demi-romantic, asexual

Propaganda:

Ignis only lost his eyesight (rather than his life) due to his strong will to protect Noctis. He is stated by the game makers to be in a deep relationship with his colleague and friend, Gladio. So it's halfway confirmed/heavy implied for those two boys. (And might be Ignis is asexual). And this man deserves so much. He is the mom friend and gives everything. And so much is taken from him.

Wylan Van Eck-Six of Crows

Qualifications:

Wylan has dyslexia (heavily implied, but not outright said bc setting) and is gay,

Dyslexic and gay!

They are in a adorable m/m relationship, and also have severe dyslexia to the point that (when eight) he could not read or write despite formal education

Wylan is gay and dyslexic!

Propaganda:

Wylan and Jesper have the absolute cutest relationship. Also, Wylan has dyslexia. I don't think it was outright said, but that was heavily implied. It just couldn't be set out loud for the sake of maintaining the fantasy setting. He's such a good character, and is primarily known for his skill with explosives, not his struggles with reading and writing. The other protagonists also never judge him for it, and the only character who does is the kind of person 90% of readers want to kill by the end of the series.

His boyfriend Jesper helped him fake being able to read so they could beat Wylan's shitty dad.

- He's incredibly sweet - But can also be ok with murder sometimes, like when killing unconscious people wasn't good - so just wake them up. - He was thrown out of the house and his father tried to kill him, because of said dyslexia, but managed to survive. Then rebelled against his father and with the help of friends took down his empire - He is very talented at the flute. And can draw very well, along with being a great chemist and demolition experts (hired for making flash bombs and other cool shit-) - Helps break into a world-class prison, then blushes the entire time because the person he's pared with keeps flirting with him - Asks his (eventual boyfriend) if he's into guys. Then immediately gets flustered when Jesper picks it up - Is very rich heir (due to shenanigans) and there's a one-off line about this sweet bean kind of being a sugar daddy- (just gives his boyfriend money to do stocks with, to stop him from gambling) - Supports his boyfriend throughout his gambling addiction and tries to help him overcome it

Wylan is dyslexic and because of this written off as stupid by his father. However, he is actually a genius, especially with chemicals, and he uses his genius and his new band of misfit friends to take his father down and read him for filth in front of a whole bunch of important people. He is good at making things explode. He also nabs himself a hot boyfriend in the process so good for him!

The qualifications and propaganda paragraphs correspond, @wisheduponastar is the third submitter.

Lycanthropy and the Body in Medieval Europe

Sourced from: Riddarvold, Stian (2023): Medieval perceptions of the Other in an extranormal community: The Case of Cornelius Vogelsang. Journal of Lycanthropic History, 2(3).

The perception of Monstrosity and Otherness in Medieval Europe has been analyzed in literature from the Icelandic sagas (Merkelbach, 2014) to Beowolf (Fahey, 2019; Cavell, 2014). [...] The Army of the Night (Exercitus noctis) is not documented well, many documents being destroyed upon its dissolution in the 1300s. Despite this, there has been a recent uptick in research about this unique military and social structure. Exclusively consisting of lycanthropes, it was still largely governed by medieval perceptions of monstrousness contingent with human society. This study will examine the norms surrounding monstrosity and the body in a lycanthropic context and their enforcement through the documented court case against Cornelius Vogelsang. Additionally, interviews were conducted with three werewolves who witnessed the trial, which will be referred to as P, Z, and M.

The Army of the Night was a military unit founded and led by Emicho VI., also known as Emicho the Crusader (ca. 1050-2020), to aid the crusades. The Army of the Night is only scarcely documented in official church records, though Emicho appears frequently in the Gesta Francorum and Historia Francorum. He is described as a capable, if ruthless, military leader building a strike force apart from the main, i.e. human, crusaders. While the lycanthropic nature of that force is not named directly, Gesta Francorum indicates a level of disconnect between the fighting units, describing the Army of the Night as simply "strange" (prodigiosus). After the failure of the first crusade, there is a large hole in the documentation, with Emicho and his troops only appearing in fragments. For a more general overview see Vanderbilt, 1989.

Monstrosity and Monstrousness in the Army of the Night

In the Middle Ages, monstrousness was a metaphor as well as a real state inherently linked to the soul. Monstrousness as a whole was heavily confounded with race, disability, and marginalization in literature and was heavily linked to the body. It was assumed that wickedness or sin would show on the body, the damnation of the soul made flesh here and in the afterlife. Unlike in many Christian faiths today, the soul was not seen as separate from the body. The state of the soul was reflected on the body and vice versa. Another important component was the mind: Reasoning ability was assumed to be inherently human, while the monstrous only followed instincts. The damned were thus made monstrous by the rejection of their very existence as a thinking being.

In the period of the Army's assembly and operations, monstrousness was not seen as inherently damning, as in, it was reversible. Repentance could still save the soul.

As eldritch lycanthropes change on a molecular level, they were permanently made monstrous, and were thus damned by merely existing. However, the visible signs of lycanthropy progress with age, giving rise to the idea that there was a timeframe in which one could still reverse the process. (see document B26-3682)

[Fragment of latin text describing a transformation and the idea that there is a way to "save" a werewolf]

The timeframes vary between 30-100 years, which correlates with the lifespans of werewolves in the Army of the Night as estimated by my interview partners (transcripts in Appendix A-C).

Werewolf P was a high-ranking officer in the Army and worked closely with Emicho VI. In regard to the Army's concept of salvation, he stated:

"If they [the chosen recruits] survived the turning, they were brought into the camp. They were told it was a punishment for their sins - that it came directly from God instead of, hm, that they were just unlucky I suppose. [...] It was a sin to be a werewolf, and you became a werewolf by sinning, so unless you were saved before the beast took over completely, you would be damned forever. Of course people figured out that it was Emicho and his officers who were turning people, but the fear kept them in line. Turning someone without permission and hiding it was also punishable by death. Not that most lived very long. They thought dying for the cause could save them."

This idea was reinforced by a lycanthropic trait that has not been studied outside of folklore until the modern day. When dying, the body will take the shape that is most aligned with the phase of the moon. Calculating the moonphase for recorded battles shows that most were fought during half or new moon. A dying wolf would thus turn back to humanoid form and seemingly confirm that they had been saved. This of course was only true for wolves young enough to not show outward signs that a medieval person could pick up on. Once again, this reinforced the time pressure the recruits faced.

Burial, too, was contingent on their body's and thus soul's state.

[...]

The case of Cornelius Vogelsang

To show how monstrousness informed social relationships even within an extranormal community, I will now examine the court case against Cornelius Vogelsang, a member of the Army of the Night that was executed on the fifth of March 1218 on account of sodomy and heresy. What makes this case interesting is that it is the only one still preserved in some detail.

The person in question first appears as either Hussein ibn al-Rahmud or Hassan ibn al-Rahmad in the list of new recruits on the retreat after the disastrous loss at Hattin (1187). He was recorded to be 20 years old, which is not out of place in the Army of the Night. (See document A34-3442)

A supplementary interview with the werewolf Z confirmed that Vogelsang had likely grow up Muslim, but "he didn't like to speak of it". (Appendix B) The name Cornelius Vogelsang appears first in the Army's 1188 census alongside the older name. He seemed to have christianized his name in order to fit in with the Europeans. The appendix "Vogelsang" was apparently given in reference to his singing prowess. In between his recruitment and sentencing there is no surviving documentation of his existence or actions.

The trial commenced in early February 1218. The town cannot be identified conclusively due to damage to the parchment, but the record was found in the abbey of St. John in Alzey. While this abbey was only founded in 1290, it still points towards the trial taking place in the region.

Vogelsang was indicted on charges of heresy and sodomy. He was accused of preaching heresies to young recruits, such as lycanthropy not being a reversible curse, but a natural state of being. In a second charge he was also accused of sodomy with an unknown man that could not be identified in the course of the trial. Document A44-3448 describes the other person involved as "indictus" (unnamed), which implies that the identity was known, but the person was not to be charged.

[Scan and transcript of the page detaiing the court proceedings.]

Sodomy in this period was defined as any sexual act not intended for procreation. In the Army of the Night, this rule extended to all sexual activity, as siring children while monstrous was perceived as a major threat both theologically and realistically. This did not mean the werewolves did not seek out women, but by the decree of 1123, any offspring was to be killed as soon as possible. [...] The primary affront of homosexual acts was not its usually recreational nature, but the "perversion of natural law" of one person taking on the role of the opposite sex. (Hart, 1990) [...]

Vogelsang was described as a "large, blue man" with "shoulders like oxen and hands like shovels". Blue in this context refers to all darker colors and was often used in texts to also denote wickedness, possibly with a racialized undertone (Sigurdsdottír, 2018). The description of his strength also marks him as threatening. In the following paragraph, he is described as wearing his hair in the style of a woman, and his "beard [does] not hide his weakness". This description makes sense when connected with the accusations of an unknown witness, who claims to have found Vogelsang "subdued and taking the part of the woman", i.e. being the receiving partner.

Vogelsang was sentenced to death by burning, and his eyes were gouged out as to forbid him from seeing God's splendor. This sentence is notably brutal, as most other documented death sentences were either executed through beheading or a silver dagger to the heart. It is not too far-fetched to assume the sentence was meant to be a deterrent. The destruction of the body was a highly symbolic act. It proclaimed Vogelsang to be beyond salvation, thus he was considered to have lost his soul and the privilege of burial.

Assuming all accusations are true, Cornelius Vogelsang knew that the soldiers were being lied to, and tried to disprove or at least challenge the reigning narrative. With said narrative as his primary tool, Emicho had good reason to fear an erosion of his power.

Vogelsang's identity (in the modern sense) also made him vulnerable: While race was not conceptualized the way it is today, being Middle Eastern could have been a visible reminder of his status as a convert. Z, who described himself as a "half-gypsy", recounted several instances of prejudice because of his appearance being used to challenge his status as a Christian.

The last of my three interview partners, M, added a completely new and unknown perspective. According to him, while there certainly was "some political shit going on", the sodomy accusation had actually resulted from jealousy. The accuser had previously been rejected by Vogelsang, and the accusation had been revenge. (see Appendix C)

The only defending voice in the trial came from an unnamed officer, whose description has been erased, seemingly on purpose.

[Scan of a document that had an entire paragraph scratched out]

The remaining account merely states that he protested the sentence and was silenced by his superior, one Bishop Anghelescu. Despite the intervention, the officer was sentenced to whipping and being marked by claw, i.e. having a visible part of his body scarred. The nature of this punishment served to make his monstrousness - in this case supporting a sinner - physically apparent.

Monstrousness as a state of damnation-until-saved informed both the social structures of the Army and the identity of werewolves within the group. At the same time, these concepts were used by Emicho VI. and the Catholic church as a whole to enact control upon a highly organized and effective strike force. Monstrousness was tied to gender, sexuality, religion, and race. Deviations both voluntary and involuntary could be cause for punishment including death. The case Vogelsang illustrates this use of theology in the name of control and power, as enacted by Emicho VI.

[aroacesigma]

U SHOULD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i adore ff15 i've played it like four times and have a save file that has nearly (Or maybe even over now?) 300 hours in it.

like the game does get HEAVY at points (esp if you play some of the dlc. episode prompto and episode ignis are. ouhghhghghg.) but its pretty lighthearted despite it. the boys have a lot of fun banter (unfortunately a lot of the world banter just. stops triggering once you enter the post-game state? its sucky. i miss prompto's silly comments...) and there's a lot of cute little details.... also you can customize the car :)

the endgame got a little rushed due to like. development constraints and stuff (the dlc (the cancelled episodes aranaea, noctis, and lunafreya) and the endgame kinda got expanded upon in a book that came out. i forget what it's called but i've been meaning to get my hands on it to read) but despite it it's still a really good game, the last few chapters of the story just get a lot more linear compared to the massive open-world. also a lot of the heavy-hitting bits happen in the last parts. its sooooo.

i don't want to spoil it but like the endgame chapters are some of my favorite parts despite how bashed it gets online (mostly bc of the rushed development showing the hardest in them) like.................... augh.

it is very sweet tho u get to see noct, prom, iggy, and gladio's relationship and how close they are (noct & prom are best friends from high school, iggy basically grew up w/ noct (and i think gladio kinda did too but came in later than iggy did) - they're all in like their 20s during the games events i think. like noct & prom are 20, gladio is 23, and iggy is 22) like. its so . im insane abt this game obviously skjdghskd

everyone has their own little unique thing too. prompto does photography (and whenever you rest at campsites/hotels you get to look thru the photos he took since you last rested!!!!!!!!!), noctis fishes, iggy cooks, gladio is an outdoorsy kinda survival guy . sucky that gladio's skill doesn't have an interactive component like the other three's but he gives some nice lil bonuses as you level his skill >.>

also i think noct is like. canonically disabled. bc he got injured as a kid and i think was in a wheelchair for a lot of his childhood and to this day like. has issues w/ his back and legs hurting him . also he's prone to nodding off a lot so like . chronic pain & fatigue represent ig skdghsdkg

ALSO FUN FACT FLORENCE + THE MACHINE DID A VERSION OF STAND BY ME THAT REPRESENTS NOCT'S FEELINGS FOR HIS FRIENDS BC HE STRUGGLES TO VOCALIZE THEM . <- sorry i just think everyone needs to know that fact

wait this sounds so fun WTFF sadly it sounds like my computer would shit itself and die also

[necroneol]

introjectism aside, what was it about the source characters of your fictives that made you so attached to them? like, what is it about Noctis, Shepard, Hiccup, The Alices and so on that made you think "This is me!"

to be honest, im not /entirely/ sure. there isn’t necessarily a unifying trait, unless you count like…being traumatized? and physically disabled in game/movie canon?

noctis is very different from shepard, and shepard is very different from hiccup, and hiccup is very different from the alices.

alice is a bit of a different case, as she has likely been here since we were very young, where as others formed later. this is due in part to. well. the simple fact that the media they are from came out much later in our life.

but anyways. no surprise (i have mental and physical trauma, memory loss, depression, severe anxiety, ptsd, ocd, did, on and on…) but i do not have a very solid sense of self. so playing games has always been a way for me to feel like a person. like im whole. even if it doesnt wnd in an alter, playing games is and always will be the most powerful and immersive experience i can imagine. so really im not too surprised that the games most important to me ended up creating a new alter.

(i should also not that i have a tendency to split very often, it honestly doesnt take much. im sure this contributes.)

ALL THIS TO SAY. everyone has something we found inside ourself. i guess?

shepard is strong, confident, yet fragile and real. he may react explosively, or withdraw when someone gets too close. he is war torn, and complicated. we had many family members we were close to who served in some way, and we grew up seeing the effects it had. i do believe that o ur family history has something to do with shepard being so close to home.

noctis (hiii) is awkward, socially struggles. but he is, under all the deadpan deliveries and fumbling, kind, helpful, and caring. he gave up his life to save his friends and his people. he is reliant on his friends, dependent on them.

riku has also been here a VERY long time (maybe almost as long as alice) and he is sort of the same. dark, brooding, troubled and lonely and terrified. but he cares so deeply for his friends. all he does is to protect them, wven if its the wrong way. his growth into someobe brave and strong is a very personal thinh for us.

those are just some. im sorry for rambling so much haha. i hope i was able to answer your question. thank you for asking and for your time^^

i love questions like these! anyone is welcome to ask whatever they want.

yet another thing i love about Ignis is his endless ability to adapt and survive, no matter what gets thrown at him

if there's a skill he doesn't have, or that doesn't come naturally to him, he finds a way to make up for it and compensate in other areas

what he lacks in brute strength, he makes up for in agility and wisdom

he's found a way to control magic on his own, something that shouldn't be possible within the rules of his universe, yet he does it like it's as easy as breathing

and for someone who has trained himself to keep his emotions in check at all times, the amount of power he gains through emotionally-charged situations is incredible

Gladio went off to prove himself by fighting Gilgamesh because he couldn't stand up to Ravus' blade

meanwhile Ignis, who is nowhere near as physically strong as Gladio, is able to fight Ravus off on his own and shove him away from Noctis during Episode Ignis...and it stands to reason Ravus was probably trying a lot harder then than he was during their earlier encounter

after becoming blind, Ignis figures out whole new ways to utilize his existing skills and adapt them so they make sense with his disability

he stops using daggers as his primary weapon, and learns to aim polearms from afar instead of getting up close to his enemies (and when he does use his daggers, it's for a brutal counter attack)

he teaches himself to cook again, even with the limited available ingredients in the World of Ruin

he hones his other senses to the point where he can get around without help or direction from others

and he does all of it in a cold, dark, unforgiving version of the world he knew, where even the people who can see are dying left and right and being turned into daemons

none of this fazes him

he just keeps going

he's incredible

[mothlagoon]

Malum Noctis has changed so much with every episode (hopefully it's not too noticeable though)

As well as my health getting better over time I've also been discovering new techniques that i want to incorporate or try out and i think im finally settling into my style now so it shouldn't change too much anymore but i can't promise that i won't keep improving. it's just sad that the whole thing looks so janky ��

I really do try to update more but life and health keep getting in the way 😅

[lioma-gaming]

I've been practising the Skywalking / Infinite Falling OOB glitch.

What's this glitch good for? It disables most collisions, including invisible barriers. Some hints on how to pull it off:

Use "Dash de Chocobo" after your chocobo has run a considerable distance away from the fight to give you more time to find your way to the nearest bench.

Don't move the camera or the chocobo will teleport straight to you!

When the Chocobo rounds the corner of the building, it takes 2-4 seconds for it to pick Noctis up. How long exactly depends on how many and what kind of cars are parked in between.

It's not necessary for Prompto to take a picture - If you've already sat down, you can still pull off the glitch. Just press X again to "get up".

What are the limits of this glitch? Afaik you can only gain height, but not lose it. Also, Noctis can only walk normally once you've found a surface at the same height as him. Otherwise, he'll be free falling and the only way to move is by entering and closing the photo mode quickly. Also, while free falling, menu options are disabled.

noctis lucis caelum is one of the realest disabled characters ever. i too pretend not to be in physical pain all day and then cope with that by taking constant naps
