12. what roleplay trends do you remember from the year you started tumblr rp? how did you feel about those trends?

munday meme // accepting ! // @electricea

in the fandom i started in here, which was the ffxv one way back in 2016, there was a lot of crack, & dash com, & honestly when i look at that rpc, as small as it is now, i still see a lot of that tends to go on there. i did used to participate in it myself but honestly, i find both hard to get into now, i prefer to write threads, & develop some proper plots & dynamics between muses.

not saying i don't do crack anymore, but it's something i rather not have on my blog, like me & tasha ( @chosenbythecrystal ), had an ooc convo with each other that just involved noctis vc and majima vc about the pair playing games & eventually bonding over fishing of all things. but even that was kind of plotting, because i'm the kind of person who can turn a silly convo into "man we should actually roleplay this in a proper thread sometime".

[mcalhenwrites]

One time I made a post that said that "mum" has a second meaning, it can mean "quiet" and therefore an English convo in FFXV probably did not mean that Ignis Scientia, age 22 and male, is not the MOTHER of Noctis, age 20. And everyone really felt it was important for me to understand that "Mum" is BriTiSh fOR MoTHeR Yeah I said it had a second definition. Back then, you could not turn off post reblogs. That stupid post took off in the fandom and was so damn irritating, loved being told I was an idiot who didn't know that mum meant mother. Still doesn't make Ignis a mom to a man two years younger than him, and while canon is weird on this, Ignis was about 6 years old when brought in so he was NOT hired as a fucking nanny or MOMMY, it's really much weirder to think that a child should raise another child as a MOTHER than me shipping two men two years apart together and other people claiming it's "pedo incest" due to that! Wished some people would have actually kept mum on that damn post. :) Since then, I'm terrified of too much traction on my posts. Love that we can disable reblogs on our posts. Bless that. When I remember to use it... (Which is more common lately!)

having viral posts is all fun and games until you have clowns in your mentions being like "well, op, i bet you also didn't know THIS" [haughtily explains something i absolutely would and do know] like add whatever to my posts that you think is informative just don't direct it at ME! i know! i just didn't include it in the post i made in 20 seconds because i didn't think 30,000 of you would see it!

[lillenshivari]

Lillen Shivari, a Final Fantasy XV OC.

Figure I should post something up about this Tumblr and who it represents. This Tumblr is for the FFXV OC Lillen Shivari. Lillen is part of the "Chocobros". She travels with Noct and the others from the moment they set out from Insomnia. She knows Ignis fairly well from interactions around the Citadel, and has briefly interacted with Noctis and Gladio previously, but not to the point of seeing them as friends and she'd never met Prompto until a few days before they had to set out on their trip. Lillen is a brawler type, like Tifa from FF7 or Zell from FF8. She uses Shurikens as her secondary weapon, allowing her to have a ranged option, and her personal skill is singing. It works much like the "Cheer" ability from Comrades, allowing her to provide various status buffs at the start of a fight. She initially takes her assignment as one of Noctis' Crownsguard very seriously. For much of the journey she only refers to him as "Highness", and Iggy as "Ignis". Early on she occasionally scolds the others for their informal treatment of Noctis, such as saying how she can't believe they would make his Highness push the Regalia. She eases up some after the attack on Insomnia, realizing that things are now far different than when they first set out. She initially is very annoyed by Prompto's overall behavior. She feels it isn't at all fitting of a member of the Crownsguard, as she doesn't yet know that Prompto hasn't trained all his life like she, Iggy and Gladio have. Some time into the journey she accidentally overhears Noct and Prompto's conversation on the roof of the motel, and later pulls Iggy aside to ask him about things, knowing she can trust Iggy to not tell the others about the convo later.

**(LATE GAME SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT!!!!)**

After gaining a better understanding of who Prompto is, she grows to like him and ends up falling for him. Ignis and Gladio figure out how she feels, though they keep it to themselves. Noct remains oblivious, as does Prompto until they reach Zegnautus keep. When they rest up after Prompto reveals the truth behind his codeprint and who/what he is, Lillen asks to speak to Prompto, and Ignis quietly suggests to Noct and Gladio that they give the two a few moments. She looks over and tends to some of the wounds he sustained during his captivity, then reveals her feelings towards him, though she doesn't come out and say "love" right away. After Noct disappears into the crystal, Lillen and Prompto stick together, hunting daemons together. I plan to have her lose her memories during the events of Comrades like the player character does in that DLC, though her story won't follow the DLC fully, and she will eventually regain them and reunite with Prompto, leading to their eventual marriage. They spend the 10 years Noct is gone going between helping Cindy at Hammerhead and helping Wiz find and care for Chocobos to keep them safe from everything going on. I plan to work out an alternate ending for Lillen's story than what the game provides, though, offering a much happier ending for the majority of characters involved. Initially events will play out like in the game, however Noct will be put into a type of sleep rather than dying, and will be awakened by Gentiana/Shiva at some point and told there is a chance he can stop the darkness without having to sacrifice his life. He soul/spirit would be sent back in time along with those of his friends, where they would have the chance to do things over and potentially do things differently. Noct will agree, not to try and save himself so much as to try and prevent much of the loss and suffering the people of Eos previously went through. When the gang begins their journey for the second time, they will initially have no memories of their past lives, though they will feel a nagging sense of deja vu. As they journey, various events will trigger memories, and they will be able to make different choices. This will allow certain characters to be spared their previous fates. Jared's death can be avoided. Iggy's blindless can be prevented/reversed (I haven't yet decided just how I want to handle that part, as I still need to read Dawn of the Future to see how things play out there), Luna and Ravus' deaths can be prevented, and of course Noct wouldn't die in the end. I haven't yet decided if Noct will spend time in the crystal again or if he'll be able to stop things without having to hibernate again, since by the time they reach Zegnautus keep for a second time they will have regained all their memories. I plan to take bits and pieces from all the other endings provided by FFXV and its side content, such as Episode Ignis' alternate ending, and that provided by DotF, to put together my own take. I'm using the time travel concept the game offers up via Umbra and the Chapter 15 content. Part of Noctis being able to stop the scourge without sacrificing himself will involve his needing to do things only available in Chapter 15 in the game, such as getting ultimate weapons and defeating the sealed away daemons from the "Beneath Lucis" questline. I hope to eventually write up some bits and pieces of fanfics for Lillen and how some of this plays out, but I'm not sure when I'll actually get around to doing it.

eulmore ost makes me so happy 🥹

[mathclasswarfare]

It’s going to be so gods-damned cold out there, standing in the rain at the unprotected bus stop. Prompto’s just gonna lie down on this couch for like ten minutes. He’ll set an alarm on his phone, to be safe. When it goes off, he’ll get up, put on his shoes, grab his umbrella, and head out the door at the exact perfect time. He’ll have no problem catching the 7:24 p.m. bus that won’t come again for another hour and a half after that. It will be totally fine. He’s just going to rest his eyes.

[icharchivist]

Feeling encouraged by Prompto's visit, you decided to give Gladio a call.

-

The connecting tone rang on for about a minute. You waited patiently, half expecting that you would be redirected to the voicemail. Part of you wouldn't complain if that was indeed the case, but another part wished you could just get this done and over with.

However, just as the thought flashed in your mind, the call was picked up, and you immediately heard Gladio murmuring in his signature baritone, "Hello?"

Your heart jumped a little. After a moment of panic silence, you replied with, "Hi, it's me."

More silence followed before you heard a sigh. "Yeah, I know. What's up?"

You licked at your lips, not really expecting the conversation to turn so quickly to the point like this. "I'm calling because… I think you deserve an explanation," you managed to say. "Do you have some time to meet and… talk?"

More silence stretched out, and you found yourself holding your breath the entire time. Eventually, Gladio said, "Sure. Do you have a place in mind?"

Nyx’s Undeadening

“Undeadening,” Cor insisted, with a look that implied the only dubious thing about the situation was Nyx's name choice for it.

Nyx shrugged.

*

“And after?”

Nyx licked his lips. “After what?”

Cor shrugged. “After you get your shit together?”

“If you're still into it?” Nyx laughed, a tiny self-deprecating noise that rubbed Cor entirely the wrong way. “Sure.”

Cor sighed. “They do say patience is a virtue, I suppose.”

[thought-begone]

I was expecting somnus to grovel because of his guilt in killing his brother - but nooo instead i had to listen to this sasuke knock off justifying what he did

[charlottedabookworm]

and the crown it weighs heavy

“Well,” he drawled, blinking in the sudden bright light – sunlight, and Six but that wasn’t that a trip, when was the last time he’d seen the sun? – as he looked around, squinting to meet the shock-wide eyes of his younger self. “Shit.” This wasn’t Galahd. Not even close.

What the fuck had happened to putting him down somewhere quiet and unpopulated?

A courtyard in the Citadel in Insomnia wasn’t quiet.

He tilted his head back so that he could stare up at the cloudless sky. “This wasn’t the agreement, Old Man,” he muttered tiredly, not really expecting a response and not getting one. The sky remained clear and silent. Dickhead.

The plan had just gotten a lot more complicated, now that they knew he was here.

Peering slowly around the courtyard, he couldn’t help the slight smirk that formed on his face at the sight of so many of the glaives, all of whom were staring at him in surprise; and he pushed away the part of his mind that whispered about being surrounded by ghosts.

“What the hell, Nyx?” Crowe demanded angrily, and he could see the exact moment that people – those who had no idea who he was, what his braids meant – realised that her words were directed at him instead of his younger self.

Fuck. It didn’t surprise him that she was one of the few that recognised him, his little sister, even though it made everything so much more difficult. He should warp away now, before anything else happened, should disappear and complete the plan (such a pretty way to call him killing his way through Niflheim before sacrificing himself to the land in the hopes that it would be enough, that his little brother wouldn’t have to martyr himself for the world once more) before anything could happen to stop him.

But, Six, he’d missed her.

She looked so young, they all did.

He’d forgotten just how young they’d all been until now. Surely, surely, a couple of minutes wouldn’t hurt. He could spare a few moments to take in everything that he was fighting for, to firm his resolve, before he had to leave. He had that time.

(The words fell flat, even in his own mind, but he couldn’t quite bring himself to leave)

“The Old Man is a bastard,” he shrugged slightly, knowing that that would explain everything to those who from Galahd. “And call me Regulus. It’s good to see you again Crowe.”

‘Regulus’ - because it was more his name than Nyx was, these days, after so many years of trying desperately to hold the world together when the sun was gone, and his brother taken, Little King in the Darkness, his mother would be proud – sighed, suddenly completely exhausted.

Time travel was exhausting.

Being surrounded by the ghosts of everyone that he’d failed, far more so.

“You got old, Ulric.”

Regulus rolled his eyes at the glaive, unbothered by the insult – it was true after all, he looked at least a decade older than his physical age depending on the day and the weather – and unable to bring up the old feelings of betrayal and anger. Luche had made mistakes, they all had, but he’d done what he’d thought was right, what he’d thought necessary, and he’d had a long time to come to terms with that. Still, “I’m 42, Lazarus.”

Nyx sputtered, staring at him in horror. “What happened to us?!”

He winced. “Ah, I did something rather reckless.” Which was probably understating it a little, honestly.

Regulus had done many reckless things in his life, he could admit that – though nowhere near as many as Libs would attest to, because they had vastly different definitions of the word reckless – but that one was the worst of them all.

Not counting what he was currently doing, of course.

Libertus blanched, knowing him well despite the years that now stretched between them. “What did you do?”

“You know how you always told me that my habit of arguing with powerful beings who could kill me with a thought would end badly for me eventually? Well, you weren’t wrong.” Though the Lucii had definitely deserved it. “Magical backlash is a bitch.” That he’d survived was a miracle that he had his father to thank for, but the experience had aged and scarred him permanently. “A decade spent in complete darkness probably didn’t help either.” Or the stress of trying to keep everyone alive in a world without light. They’d all looked far older than they were, at the end.

“Nyx,” Libertus said sternly and fuck, but he missed his own Libs; the one who had been by his side through everything.

He missed his brother.

But his Libs had been needed back there, just in case this didn’t work, and this Libertus was so young and he didn’t really understand, and it hurt.

“It’s Regulus, please.” He said slowly, quietly but firmly. He turned to look them all in the eyes, one by one, until he was smiling sadly at the only one of them that could truly be called Nyx Ulric. “Nyx – isn’t who I am, not anymore. I haven’t been Nyx for a long time.”

Such a very long time.

He hadn’t realised just how much he’d changed, just how much he’d lost, until he was staring the man that he had once been in the face; hardly able to recognise how young and happy he’d been.

Nyx had been a glaive and a protector, broken by his experiences but not yet shattered, still hoping for an end to the war, still clinging to the idea of peace. Nyx Ulric hadn’t yet watched his second home fall, hadn’t watched his father and brother die, had been forced out of necessity to be King to all of those who lived in the Darkness.

Regulus wasn’t Nyx Ulric anymore. He was far too broken, too shattered, for that.

In the end, that was why he was here.

That was the point of this plan.

And, looking out at his – young, so young, Nyx could hardly remember being so young and yet it had only been a decade – friends, realisation struck him like lightning. He laughed, the sound hysterical, and tilted his head up to the sky with a bitter smirk. “So, that’s your plan. Well, it won’t work, Old Man. You can’t change my mind.”

A flash of lightning and Ramuh was there.

People, those not of Galahd, scrambled backwards – weapons drawn and then quickly dropped away from the Astral that had just appeared. Regulus just watched, laughter dying away, looking at the figure who just stared back at him, eyebrow raised like he was a child to be scolded.

He supposed, to the Astral that had half-raised him, Regulus was.

“You are my Chosen, Regulus of Clan Ulric, borne to my people, raised on my lands, you swore your life to myself and to my people before all else. Yet you ask that I not interfere, even when you plan to die.” Ramuh thundered, scowling.

Regulus didn’t flinch, even as everyone else did. “The oaths that I have sworn, the people that I must protect, they are why I do this. Why it is necessary.” He drew in a deep breath, not stopping to bask in the fact that he was able to breathe air that didn’t yet hold the distinctive tang of the scourge’s corruption, and he stood to his full height; shoulders back and head held high, looking Ramuh in the eyes. “My life, for all of theirs.” He said quietly. “That was the plan, Old Man.”

“Plans can change.”

And, no.

No.

The plan was all that Regulus was clinging onto, now. All he had to live for; his family dead or left behind, his people gone or unknowing. He would change the past and die and his people would live and that was how it had to be. That was all he had left.

He couldn’t…

“Ramuh, Old Man, Grandfather…” Regulus begged. “Please.”

“You call me grandfather and then you ask that I allow you to die, alone and unmourned, upon the completion of your self-imposed mission. Truly, you are the epitome of the cruelty of both of your lines.”

Now, he did flinch.

“I know.” Of course, he knew. “But there is no other way.”

Ramuh smiled at him gently, harshly, like he had when he was a child; lying to himself, unwilling to believe what was right in front of him. “If you believed that, my Chosen, then you would have already left.”

.-.-.-.-.

She only has my hair and lips... She got your eyes, your nose even your beauty marks... Whole and rosy. S-she is a perfectly healthy girl, darling!

xx xx xx - Sunday

Morning started with a radiant sun. The kitchen warmed by the gentle rays and the breakfast preparation at her hands. It was still early but Carmen wasted no time fixing his favored dessert to be had at lunch. The light Chiffon cake rested in a decorated plate while she aplied thin string of vanille cream in a petals' design, a small group of red fruits at the side as a decoration. She covered it all up when the soft sounds of pitter-patter of little feet reached her ears.

- Mommy. Mommy...

She licked her finger clean and glanced down. There was a small young girl with big seafoam colored eyes loosely pulling the hem of her skirt. She smiled kindly at the girl, turning and crouching down to be at her height. A hug and a kiss later, Carmen chuckled.

- Good morning, baby girl. Did you sleep well?

She nodded, a gentle smile disrupting the otherwise serious expression adorning her cute features. Daughter of her father's. The soft caramel tresses were almost completely straight save for the wavyness on the tips. It looked a bit disheveled from her run. Carmen just combed a few hair strands and waited. She could tell from the look on the greenish eyes that her daughter wanted to say something. The small girl played with the long fingers of her mother's hand and then pointed at the general directions of the master bedroom. Carmen squeezed her small hand with hers.

- Today is Daddy's day, Mommy.

- You are correct. Have you prepared your present for him?

Another nod and the girl showed her a rolled piece of paper tied by a dark ribbon. A short tale of some sort, the woman remembered. It was lovely.

- Will you go with me now?

- Why of course! But he is still asleep, baby girl.

The crestfallen look on her daughter's face made her heart tingle. She was so cute. Carmen collected her on her arms and stood up, kissing the clear forehead while lightly scratching the short hairs on the nape of her neck.

- We should go pull him out of dreams' arms, correct? We need a strategy. Care to help me?

The big eyes widened with hope and the girl nodded enthusiastically, a look of concentration set on her face. This Scientia girl, she thought, kissing his plump cheek. There were a few whispered words into each others' ears and it was all decided. A wink and a smile later the plan was put in action.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Sneaking on the Royal Advisor was not an easy task but today they had an advantage. Ignis was laying on his back in the middle of the bed, eyes closed and breath even. He looked really peaceful after long days of work, covered to the chest with the warm sheets and the visor resting on the bedside table. It was a lovely sight.

Carmen opened the door with the upmost care, avoiding to make any noise while doing so. She glanced down at the little girl and with a wink and a finger to her lips she urged her to move silently to the opposite side of the bed. Just a few quiet steps and a light change in the matress weight and they were facing each other at either side of the resting man. With a finger countdown, Carmen gave a signal and the attack started. At the same time, they peppered his cheeks with kisses.

There were soft giggles and warm chuckles...

...then a low snicker.

In a quick motion long arms moved from under the sheets and captured both girls in a tight hug. A high pitched cry and a gasp left them as Ignis opened an eye, completely awake. A warm smile spreading on his face. The fits of laughing soon echoed in the cozy bedroom.

- It seems I have been set free from that spell with the help of these beautiful ladies. I'm most grateful.

Carmen let her lips kiss the edge of the scar on his cheek bone and returned the one on her lips when he turned to face her.

- You were awake the entire time, didn't you?

- A clever suggestion I can not denied entirely.

She nuzzled his neck with a laugh while his smile widened a bit more. The small girl's hair and breath tickled his chest. She made her way up on his chest and moved nearer to his face, pecking his nose.

- Daddy, that's not fair! We made a strategy!

- Is that so?

- Yes, we called it: "Kiss Daddy awake for his day!"

- I'm flattered. It worked really well, sweetie.

The way her eyes brightened was heart warming. Her plump lips gave way to a big toothy smile. The missing one at the front was endearing.

- Can I read you your present, Daddy?

A kiss in her forehead and a nod and the little girl happyly untied the sheet of paper. They all snuggled closer, the parents hugging the little girl tightly. Her sweet voice started narrating the short story. The warm, the smiles... It was perfect.

- Happy Father's day, Ignis.
