♡noctis is the kind of uncle who will sign himself up for his niece's school trip as a chaperone and acts surprised that people are shocked that he'd come to accompany them...hes like what do you mean, thats my baby! of course imma be her travel buddy

of course hes gonna get in trouble for saying that because someone choose to quote him out of context

and sure ignis looks irritated when he shows him the magazine with the bold title "PRINCE NOCTIS, FATHER!?"

but noct doesnt regret it for a second

because his niece is HIS baby

girldad!ignis girldad!ignis u are truly the apple of my eye and i don't talk about you enough

i know you spend your nights watching your baby girl

and in the quiet of the night as you watch her chest rise and fall you question how such a beautiful innocent angel could come from you

ah im sick😩

[cloggedarteri]

every few months i come back to the thought that ignis is a girl dad and I cant believe ive only written like 3 post about it

♡ignis' introducing his first child (noctis) to his first child (his actual daughter)

♡noct being the insufferable uncle that steals his niece away whenever she's in the area (hes just like regis its actually sick)

♡noctis noticing ignis needs help w/the baby and him being swift w/ his support b/c ignis has always been there for him...ignis being so incredibly tired that just the effort of keeping his eyes open and the effort of holding his own weight is exhasuting, evenmoreso with an infant in tow

♡just noctis taking the baby out of ignis' arms like "your tired, go to sleep" and ignis just not fighting it.

♡noctis acting like ignis' child is his, him always carrying her around in a carrier on his chest, him having an attitude when people (counsilmen specially) make remarks like 'wtf you mean this isnt a space for children. this is my baby and wherever i go she goes'

♡noctis really almost getting into fights with regis whendeciding who gets to watch the baby

♡gladio being the cuddly second uncle, man is definetly pulling out all the skills he'd gained while minding iris when she was younger...omg the little baby being completly swamped by gladios big hands and arms

♡gladio being a fellow girl dad victim...him getting drawn on and decorated w/sparkles and makeup and him loving every second of it he takes such pride in the masterpieces his baby niece leaves on him that he even leaves to show the glavies her hard work

♡gladio being in charge of baby's first camping trip...wait no gladio being a scout leader and the baby being a little scout omg so cute 🥺

♡prompto bing introduced to the baby when noctis steals her away, prompto gets to the apartment and sees a lil kid just posted up against some pillows on the sofa...prompto thinking noctis stole her and him pulling noctis aside to figure out what to do, who to bribe, who to blackmail, so that the situation goes away

♡prompto chilling the fuck out once ignis informs him that the girl upon the sofa is no random child but instead his daughter

♡irl dress to impress with newly titled uncle prompto and the baby, prompto is the stylist, the baby the model, and the rest of the boys judges

[cloggedarteri]

♡noct pulls the nastiest glare when his baby niece comes running to him with tears and snot rolling down her face all because her daddy wouldnt let her eat cookies for dinner

♡snap a few moments later and the apartment is suspisouly really quite so ignis moves to check whats going on...and when he walks into the kitchen he's met with noctis standing on the kitchen counter holding out snacks to his equally guilty daughter who is standing on her tippy toes trying her hardest to reach the snacks her uncle is passing to her...the very same snacks ignis has told her not 5 minutes ago that she couldnt eat

noctis and the baby arent even bothered that they're caught

noctis is a terrible influence

[cloggedarteri]

♡noctis is the kind of uncle who likes to take his niece of out school early without telling ignis and he's gotten in trouble because of it more than once...at least the first few times he'd been caught he had the decency to look guilty but then after a while he doesnt even seem bothered when ignis so happens to be in the office just watching steal away with his daughter

♡noctis is the kind of uncle who will sign himself up for his niece's school trip as a chaperone and acts surprised that people are shocked that he'd come to accompany them to the capital garden...hes like what do you mean, thats my baby! of course imma be her trip partner

♡of course hes gonna get in trouble for saying that because someone choose to quote him out of context

sure ignis looks iriated when he shows him the magazine with the bold title "PRINCE NOCTIS, FATHER!?"

but noct doesnt regret it for a second

because his niece is HIS baby

❥girldad! ignis who nobody expects to have a child but one day is made to bring his baby along with him to the citadel due to a temporary shutdown of the kindergarten. It was not a particular secret, having a child and all but it's not something he'd go out of his way to sing to masses. i imagine ignis being a rather private person, someone who keeps his cards close to his chest. but i don't doubt there's a dimension of shame attached to the idea of him having a child, especially so young. what does it say about his willpower and priorities if people know that he has a 5-year-old waiting for him to get back home?

❥girldad! ignis who, being that this is the first time he's brought his girl to his workspace, is lokey nervous that something is going to go wrong. the day was already proving to be difficult too. he'd already wasted time rushing to the kindergarten to then find out it was closing. then his usual babysitter had canceled on him. then it was the white paint he'd stepped in on the crosswalk a block away from the citadel. then it was the damned money-stealing vending machine. literally what else could go wrong?

❥girldad! ignis who's seen rushing into the citadel with a little chocobo backpack dangling on his right arm and a little girl curled in his left. he seems ignorant to the stares he's getting as he tries to maintain a steady hold of the weight in his arms as he reaches for his wallet but it's clear that he's struggling. "give me one second, darling" he says as he places her down next to him. now no longer in the protective arms of her father, the little darling becomes acutely aware of the stares that follow her. and the weight of these eyes isn't menacing (at least they don't try to be) but the longer they hold on to her form the tighter her grip is on ignis' pant leg.

❥girldad! ignis who, after getting through security and customs and whatnot, is intercepted by regis and clarus as he makes his way to his office floor. "good mornings" are shared between them but what quickly diverts their attention is the little girl that seems to have a vice grip of ignis' wrinkled pant leg. 

❥grandpa! regis who shamelessly squeals in delight after seeing the little darling. his knees are creaking in protest as he leans down to the girls level but he'd be damned if he didn't give his little girl a sweet kiss and tender hug. "why hello my darling. i wasn't expecting you here today". and once she's gotten his attention she knows nothing is off limits. this girl knows she's the apple of this man's eye so she's going to milk regis for everything he's worth. oh, she's sleepy? okay tell whoever you need to to push my meetings back b/c my baby and i are going to go take a nap. and then after that, we'll be having our lunch date/tea party. ya know what, cancel the meetings cause we're gonna go shopping. nothing is off limits ...omg grandpa! regis don't give a damn about his responsibility when his grandbaby is in the same building as he is i kno it.

❥grunkle! clarus who isn't any better than regis. he claims to have a little bit more restraint but just barely. all he needs to crack is the twinkle of those pretty little brown eyes of hers and he's folding so so fast. i know he the kind of dude to "secretly" give her a 5 dollar bill so that she can get some goodies of her own...they're both pathetic

❥grunkle! clarus who compensates for regis' limited flexibility. neither are young but clarus can still move with relative ease. so, when the little darling says she wants to play, wants to run around the garden and explore the life that lies within it, it's clarus who'll run alongside her. it's clarus who'll roughhouse and toss her over his shoulder when she's trying to get into something she shouldn't. its clarus who'll kneel to her level and wipe the tears and snot that come from a nasty fall. he loves this little girl. he and regis both do.

❥girldad! ignis who cannot imagine what life he'd lead if not for the village he'd found within these citadel walls. as he watches his little girl get whisked away in the arms of clarus and his majesty, he cannot help but be a bit envious of their freedom. freedoms he cannot indulge in with the responsibilities that rest on his shoulders. there are people counting on his ability to work. so thats what he'll do. work. 

❥girldad! ignis who will never voice the growing seed of resentment for his duties for the time they steal from him and his child. 

❥girldad! ignis who's unaware of the eyes that follow his fleeting figure down the hallway. his steps slow as he nears the corner and the little darling can't help but hope. maybe this time he'll he'll turn around. maybe today will be our day...but as he rounds the corner out of her view, the thought perishes... and clarus doesn't make mention of the dampening of his shirt.
