i could fix final fantasy 15 i know i could i know it. i could. i could.
#.text#ffxv#number one change noctis knows hes going to die from the very beginning lets start there#in order for his ending to mean anything we have to see him know. we have to see him deal with i & we have to see him come to terms with it#we have to see him 'make his peace' as he says#we have to see him realize he doesnt want to die but has to make that decision anyway.#because the road trip is strong. its so strong. but everything after suffers so much#especially his death#his tragedy means nothing because it was never given the chance to mean anything.#like when you watch the final campfire. you know. ignis and gladio and prompt have known too. theyve known for a long time.#regis knew. luna knew.#but because WE didnt get to know and because NOCTIS didnt get to know. it meant. nothing#we didnt even have to know!! we could have blank dialogue and could only see noctis dealing with it on his own#but in a way thats so clearly obvious that we know even if they never tell us#like. I COULD FIX THIS GAME.#listen to me. i could fix it.

FFXV || UNUSED EP. ARDYN ENDING
Commentary by the dataminer Youtube@Luthus Nox Fleuret
This unused scene was supposed to be the very last cutscene in EPISODE ARDYN but it was seemingly taken out after all the other upcoming DLCs were cancelled which would have formed an entire new alternate storyline. Since Episode Ardyn is the start of that story line it would probably have been a bit confusing to tease something like this and only have it resolved in the novel - as the actual game content got cancelled. Its also worth noting that after this scene the score board will appear, fully ending the game. I dislike this DLC and the alternate storyline developed in DotF. In my view, DotF undermines previously established characterization/story and directly contradicts the original theme of FFXV replacing it with something entirely else. I do not view its content as canon in any form. I am, however, committed to uncovering and documenting the many secrets of FFXV. Hence why I have decieded to upload this online regardless of my personal opinions on the matter.
My thoughts under the cut:
So the sound files from this scene were not an isolated leftover thing? Cool cool we get to see this :D It never ceases to amaze me how far the datamining scene of the game has come after all these years ✨ I'm loving Lunafreya's posture/walking animation here hehe I also partially agree with Luthus commentary. I'm not fond of the alternate story and ending DotF offers because of the lore changes, but It's been long since I decided to simply ignore it/let others have their fun and relish in the little things that surface from it, like Luna scenes and dialogues in the book, or in this case, a datamined scene.
No point in marinating in the things we don't like from a videogame's alternate ending when there's so much more to like from the actual game, me thinks.

Hey, what is this about FFXV translator shipping Noctis and Ignis? Can you share a source for it?
That's a different translator. They changed the English dialogue to make Noct and Ignis more shippy because they shipped it.
I didn't know at the time but thinking back Iggy did seem very one sided in love with Noctis but I just ignored it cause Noctis was in love with Luna. Now I know it's because some dipstick on a power trip changed the script I'm annoyed. Why tf can't sena employ people who just do their damn jobs?

It might be gauche to share my own tags but idc I liked these
I couldn't appreciate all the parallels the FFXV devs were driving home back then, but I can now
#i want to remember them#the quote is from dotf#and the translator (idk if they were one of the og EN localisers) did a fantastic job of maintaining ardyn's characteristic dialogue#the next time i play ffxv I'm not gonna be able to resist seeing the Ardyn / Luna parallels everywhere#she will haunt (my) narrative fr#lyna rambles#ffxv tag#dotf

Writing asks! Pls answer 2, 7, 11, 17, 23, 25, and 37. And if there are any others you'd like to answer, then please tell me about those too!
02 Anything that you'd like to write but feel like you're unable to? ooh, I have an immediate answer for this but I'm not sure how to word it. like… can't just say "plotty fics" because my fics have plots. can't say "fics where the conflict is external" because some of my whump fics are also that. but, hhh… those kinda fics that have those things but the plot is, idk, complicated??? with lots of foreshadowing and plot twists and dramatic/adventure-y stuff is happening. like I would LOVE to write some kinda time travel fix-it fic AU for ffxv that takes elements from canon but has its own interesting/intriguing plot where original things that aren't just a rehash of canon slightly changed happen, but I really struggle to come up with any strong ideas for that kind of thing. or like when I used to be in the csi/criminal minds/psych/house fandoms, I would have LOVED to write casefics but I'd never manage the mystery aspect of it. if any of that makes sense? I also feel the same way about horror fics, I've read some fantastic ones in the ffxv fandom and I'd love to write something of my own, something involving ghosts/haunted places, but I can't really come up with ideas and I also don't know if I'd pull of the creepy aspect of it all.
07 Your favourite ao3 tag. you would think it would be hurt/comfort or angst or whump, but no, underage/non-con combo, my beloved. love me some projection and coping.
11 Three tropes that are fine but overrated. Okay so I've spent most of the past hour before answering this looking at fanfic trope tier lists and browsing posts on the ao3 sub about overrated tropes trying to find ones that would fall under this for me, and the only conclusion I can come to is that I don't have any. because for me, I only (unfairly lmao) consider a popular trope overrated if I dislike it/hate it/just don't fucking GET it 😅 like enemies to lovers. absolute yawn. don't hate it but it does nothing for me and I don't genrally read it. I do not get the appeal. but it feels SO popular rn, I see it talked about a lot on reddit and tumblr and I'm so tired of it lol. so it just feels completely overrated to me. (and no, my dear mutuals who like enemies to lovers, I don't mind your posts about them. exceptions are always made for moots.) but like, say… only one bed. it doesn't make me lose my mind and I don't seek fics with it out, but it's a fine trope. really enjoy a good only one bed fic if it comes my way. therefore, would never call it overrated.
17 Past or present tense? Why? I can do both but I love the immediacy of present tense these days. also love that it's more like I'm in the character's head following along with them as things are happening to them, seeing them have thoughts and say things in real time, rather than being narrated a story that's already taken place.
23 Dialogue or description? Why is the other one so hard? I genuinely love both equally and don't find either overall difficult 😅 however, I will say that since I have aphantasia, I often find it hard to remember to include visual descriptions lmao. like I can describe emotional stuff so easily and probably get too wordy about it, but describing a character's appearance or what their surroundings look like??? even when it's relevant to a scene, I often forget. a lot of it tends to get added in after the fact, usually when I'm halfway through a scene and realise I need a damn description. and it's because when I'm reading my brain just glosses over descriptions like they're not there because they mostly do nothing for me. so I usually have to force myself to take note if it feels important. though I do like nature descriptions because those are easy enough to have an idea of so I dismiss those less. they also naturally make it into my writing more haha. so if I had to pick between one, it'd be description for that reason, but I don't really struggle with the actual describing part of it.
25 Is writing the whole thing beforehand better or worse than writing it as you go? oh, this is such an interesting question because I feel like my answer would be so different ten years ago, and even more different still twenty years ago. but at twenty-five years, I'm honestly not sure anymore that one is better than the other. it just depends on your needs and maybe the fic? because, well, I'll use my here's to the fall series. on the one hand, posting it as I wrote it ended up being really stressful for me because it got so much more attention than I expected and I started putting pressure on myself to update regularly. literally fucking APOLOGISED to people during grey skies for needing to take a break from writing/posting for awhile when I'd fucking downed a bottle of pills, as if I was letting everyone down by needing to put my mental health first lmao. I could have avoided all of that stress if I'd pre-written the fics*. on the other hand, the ending for shadows growing came from a reader comment, as did some of the scenes in grey skies and the side scenes that made up ties. I'd never have that if I'd waited to finish the fic before posting. I might never even have finished shadows growing if I'd waited, because I may never have come up with an ending on my own.
I will say whichever one I go with, I have found it immensely helpful for me to have an outline first, because that's kind of my version of a first draft. sometimes I may not have the whole thing outlined when I start writing, only partially, (like with monsters) but I still know roughly where I want things to go, and how it ends. if I don't have that much, I won't even write.
*don't worry, I have long since remembered again this is just a hobby and if someone is upset that I don't update regularly or abandon a fic, not my fucking problem 🤣
37 Do you research before writing or while you write? Is it fun or boring for you? either while I write or while I outline! usually both lol. not in initial plotting stages tho. and I'd say most of the time it's fun for me :D I just have to be careful not to get too in-depth with some of it or go too far down a research rabbit hole, because then I start obsessing over needing everything to be accurate all the time and that just starts fucking the sun* out of it. did that with a digimon fic and that was definitely a big contributor to why I ultimately abandoned it. looking up the date your scene falls on so you can have the exact time the sun set in tokyo that day and make the character's clock say that as he's checking the time and noting the sunset is just a liiiittle unhinged. but it's what I did.
*I meant sucking the fun obviously but the way I accidentally wrote it first is so funny I'm leaving it anyways thank you for the ask!! always fun to do <3 no bonus answers because I'm tired now lol

today's dialogue I got in ffxv that I hadn't heard before:
Ignis: Gladio's hard as a rock.
Noctis: The hell are you talking about??
yes Ignis tell us more about how Gladio's hard as a rock, Noctis definitely knows what you're talking about 😏

20 Questions: Writing Edition
@theskee tagged me for this and I can never resist answering questions about myselfmy writing. Let's gooooooooo
How many works do you have on AO3?
260, which goes all the way back to the first stuff I posted on my website in like… 1999 or so? We're talking when I was into comics fandom. (And obviously, those were not originally posted on AO3.)
What's your total ao3 word count?
1,393,595 - what a good pattern in that number, ha. I have so many extremely short fics.
What are your top five fics by kudos?
Waking the Moon - the first (in order of writing) of the FFXV omegaverse wolf fics. I'm still quite pleased with that one, even if I did start writing it out of spite.
In Between - the one and only LOTR fic I was ever inspired to write, a Legolas/Aragorn PWP that still gets kudos even though I'm very tired of it. It's fine, I guess.
The Strength of the Wolf - Another in the Werewolves of Lucis series. This was the only time I ever had enough motivation and inspiration to put out multiple fics as a series.
Tutelage - The one proper Ignis/Gladio fic I ever did, and I am still proud of that one, too. Even though Noctis makes a very outdated 'Etro' reference that shows how early this was written.
Perspective - Possibly my favorite Torchwood fic (Jack/Ianto, of course) and it makes me super happy that it's up here on the list. Threading bits of moments from all through the canon was fun, and I remember thinking of one additional scene and popping it in just after I posted the fic and being so pleased with it. (I think it's the Martha scene.)
What fandoms do you write for?
Right now, Dragon Age has 99% of my attention, but I'm still thinking about FFVII Remake (even if no ideas have come to me in months), and I still have a DMMd fic I want to finish (another to round out the actor AU).
Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Fuck yeah. I used to know someone who got so many that he just didn't respond anymore, but I have never had that happy circumstance, and I want people to know how much their words are appreciated. Plus, it's led to friendships more than once, and I can't not respond if someone notices something special or goes into detail about a bit they liked.
What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Hmmm. I don't often write angsty endings, but holding on, letting go kinda qualifies, I think. I mean, most of what I write is smut, so…
What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
God, there's a lot of them, I really can't pick. I did a super-classic Disneyesque happy ending with Spellbound, that was fun.
Do you get hate on fics?
Fortunately, not too much; there was one on an RPS fic that still stands out to me (even though it was hilarious), but I've had more weird and confusing comments than anything.
Do you write smut?
I would say I'm known for it.
Do you write crossovers?
Not often, since I find them hard to justify. I still like the Firefly/Torchwood one that had Mal and Captain Jack hooking up, though - Collision.
Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I know of, fingers crossed.
Have you ever had a fic translated?
Yeah, I had someone translate do you understand, do you feel the same, which was really surprising and nice.
Have you ever cowritten a fic before?
Sort of, in that I've rewritten RP (with my partner's permission) into fics. I've never done proper cowriting, but maybe someday.
What's your all time favourite ship?
Ugh, there's so many and they're all so dear to me. Jack/Ianto, Promnis, obviously Kouao. Rookanis, right now. I love them all so much, I can't choose.
What's the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
UGH there are WIPs from my boyband slash days that still haunt me. (The Matrix one, the mage AU one…) I guess right now it's that DMMd one. It seems so far off now.
What are your writing strengths?
THIS IS HARD. SKEE WHY DID YOU MAKE ME DO THIS LOL. Uhh, I think I'm best at dialogue and interpersonal relationships, getting to the heart of scenes quickly (maybe too quickly sometimes). I like really getting in deep with vocabulary and trying to fit the wording just right for every sentence.
What are your writing weaknesses?
Plotting and structure feel like my biggest issues. Only once or twice have I ever actually managed to write an outline and plan out what would happen in a fic… and then it got away from me, and half of it didn't happen because it would have just overwhelmed the fic, heh. And then I didn't write the other half. That was the last Werewolves fic, To Be Human After All.
Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in a fic?
I've never written more than one or two words of another language in dialogue or otherwise in a fic. I usually italicize them, or in the case of the one Firefly fic, I added a translation in the end notes (I think it was "hun dan" - asshole). Most of the time it's something that I think the readers would understand, like sensei in something based on Japanese media.
First fandom you wrote for?
Hmm, I think technically it was Star Wars, when I was very wee. The first stuff I remember writing (actually physically writing, in school notebooks) was for ElfQuest, in an epic full of OCs (my Mary Sue character was half-elf, half-human, named Bluesky -- the irony, I know). The first stuff I posted online was X-Men comics related.
Favourite fic you've ever written?
Good lord, how am I supposed to choose. Did I mention I have 260 fics posted? And that's not even all of them. But since I haven't mentioned them much, I'll say it's the first FFVII Remake fic I wrote, reach out your hand, featuring Cloud/Biggs.
Aaaaaaaaaand I'm gonna tag @lindira on this one! This was super fun, even if it did make me have to think too much, lol.

I’m too tired to go too deep into detail on this one but here’s my Kingdom Hearts 4 theory that I want to put out into the world.
The nameless star and the girl we see in the Verum Rex trailer aren’t actually the same person. It’s a red herring.
Yozora takes clear inspiration from Noctis from FFXV (e.g. the scene of Yozora in the car that’s shot-for-shot a scene from an early trailer with Yozora replacing Noctis).
And while many think that’s because Nomura is using ideas he never got to bring to life when he worked on Versus XIII, aka “Beta FFXV”, before the project moved on without him, I think it’s less that and more to do with Nomura’s feelings in letting go of his characters and letting someone else write their story.
I think Yozora is the answer to the question “What if Noctis knew that his story was so far removed from what was originally planned? What if he knew his fate was changed?” (Put a pin in that, because there’s more to this question.)
Anyway, we all saw the nameless star for the first time and... Okay, well, a lot of us thought it was Strelitzia at first and that Square Enix North America (henceforth SENA) had just put romantic dialogue somewhere that wasn’t supposed to be romantic and accidentally made Marluxia sound like Strelitzia’s love interest. (Wouldn’t be the first time that happened in KH3. Thank you SENA.) But once we saw more of her and Yozora in Melody of Memory and Re:Mind respectively, we all realized she was from the same place Yozora was from, and we all thought about the only girl we know who’s from Verum Rex and we all just...
...assumed.
But we haven’t seen the nameless star’s face. And we haven’t heard Verum Rex girl’s voice. So we don’t actually have any confirmation that they’re the same person.
So here’s my suggestion.
Verum Rex girl is Luna in this equation.
And Nameless Star is Stella, the girl who was originally going to be Noct’s love interest back when FFXV was Versus XIII.
We meet Nameless Star in what is essentially Kingdom Hearts Purgatory. But she’s from a fictional world. Fictional characters can’t die. Not in the way we know it. I can pop Into the Spider-Verse into my DVD player, hit play, and boom, there’s Uncle Aaron, alive. You can’t do that with real people.
But if a character is written out of a story, they’re gone forever. That, I propose to you, is true death for a fictional character, which is why Nameless Star is hanging out with dead people. And she’s lost everything. Her whole identity. Her name. And the person she loves doesn’t remember her. Because she’s not part of his story anymore.
Yozora also says that the way he looks isn’t what he really looks like. A lot of people have taken that to be the start of an explanation for why he looks like Riku, and it still might be in some roundabout way, but I propose to you that he’s been redesigned, and he’s aware of it.
So here’s the core of what this all means, why it’s relevant.
Kingdom Hearts loves its parallels, yeah?
So here’s what I propose to you.
Sora’s story is also, as we speak, being rewritten. At least in a sense.
Sora sees Riku’s light, and twenty minutes later, it’s apparently Kairi’s light.
Sora saves seven hearts, including Riku’s, and three hours later, he’s only saved six, and Kairi’s heart is the seventh.
Somehow or another, Yozora found out about what happened to him, and, due to some trial or another, also found out what is currently happening to Sora. And he wants to save Sora from suffering his fate.
I don’t think there’s any hope for Yozora himself. He is, after all, the night sky, what could have happened if Sora’s story got the “bad end”, so to speak.
But I do think he can “save Sora.”
So here’s the rest of that question.
What if Noctis knew that his story was so far removed from what was originally planned? What if he knew his fate was changed?
And what if he saw the same thing happening to Sora, a kid destined to have a queer love story but forced into a romance with a girl by a greater power instead, and refused to let that slide?

Do you write fanfic or have an ao3 account? I just noticed that on some of your art pieces (particularly your ffxv but I'm sure they're attached to others), you have certain short dialogues or plots or things and I was wondering if you wrote them for the art or if you drew the art based on a fic or something. Sorry this is super weird but I had to ask, I've been struggling to find ffxv author that scratches my particular itch and your art does it so well I thought that asking was the least I could do for my sanity
Hi!
I don't have a writing ao3 account. Regarding my XV stuff-- that's. That's all there is. Fanarts w dialogues under them. And comics. Bunch of small little comics which were at some point collected into two zines (2019+2020). All of the ones I ever posted publicly should be either here or over at the dead bird app. I was drawing XV around 2018-2020, so it might be a bit of a hassle to dig through all that stuff over there, but that's all there is yeah.
Sorry to disappoint. :')
