#like the last anon you may Also have a Sizable Piece Of My Soul for asking a question about ambition!roman

[villlainarc]

Was Virgil and Roman’s relationship aafected negatively by Roman’s action as Ambition? Bc from what I’ve read, I don’t really think Virgil as of canon right now will vibe with Ambition!Roman

(obligatory original ambition!roman post link)

!!!! Excellent Question thank u anon

and you’d be right, virgil and ambition!roman definitely Do Not Vibe

(if we’re being honest,,, none of the other sides really Vibe with ambition!roman (with the possible exception of janus, but that’s less Vibing and more ‘i love u and you are being Very Dumb but will stick by you anyway because first of all u need someone in your corner and second of all I Love You Literally So Much’ so idk how much that counts). roman becoming ambition!roman was almost entirely for thomas. the extra appreciation he got at the beginning before it got really intense was just the cherry on top. but! you asked about virgil, so let’s talk about him.)

virgil’s not ambitious. whatever the opposite of ambitious is, that’s what he is. 

he doesn’t like taking risks. he has no desire to get ahead. as long as he makes it through the day with out a major mental breakdown, he counts it as a win. success, to him, is synonymous with survival.

needless to say, he doesn’t really... get roman. 

ambition, no matter what each individual’s may be, is about personal happiness.

.........yeah, virgil doesn’t get that. at all.

what’s the point?? of caring about something??? as trivial as happiness???? when you could get run over by a fucking car tomorrow????

or betrayed by your best friend?????? 

or suddenly lose your house and all your possessions to a fire??

you could lose everything? at any given moment??? and you care about what make you happy?

yea so roman what are u on —virgil, probably

all that said, virgil isn’t strictly against doing things for individual happiness or personal gain, he just lacks the type of forethought needed to actually. care about it.

(his brand of forethought is more along the lines of: “oh god you said This One Thing to joan two days ago and now the rest of your life is ruined thomas don’t u see”

....this is not useful when it comes to individual happiness or personal gain.)

so in the beginning? like everyone else, he doesn’t really mind ambition!roman either. he never minded the ambitious side of roman before, and ambition!roman in the beginning wasn’t noticeably different from roman roman at all. and virgil liked didn’t hate roman roman, so there wasn’t any reason for him to behave differently

besides, c!thomas was happier, felt safer, was in a better place both career-wise and financially, all the friends that didn’t bring c!thomas enough happiness were out of his life now, virgil himself had less work to do—

wait.

that’s not right, is it?

virgil not doing as much work can’t be good. 

(why yes, he is anxious about the idea of being less anxious. sue him.)

no, that’s not the thing he’s should be focusing on. 

there are more concerning things happening, because you aren’t supposed to get rid of friends if they don’t bring you enough happiness.

right?

c!thomas hasn’t ever done that before, has he?

why?? is no one else concerned about this???? tf?

(short answer: they’re only seeing what they want to at this point. roman’s happier than he’s been in... years, honestly (and despite what roman may believe, the others really, really do love him, so they aren’t going to do anything to take away that newfound happiness), those friends weren’t great friends anyway, and c!thomas doesn’t seem to be suffering mentally, so.... why would they waste conscious energy worrying when nothing seems to be wrong?)

(thank god they have virgil am i right)

virgil doesn’t talk to anyone about these concerns.

what, you think he’s going to willingly deal with the confrontation and awkward conversations that would require?

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

ha

ha 

ha.

yeah,,,,, no.

so, while he is the first to notice that something’s up with roman, he’s definitely not the first to do something about it.

nothing’s hurt c!thomas yet, so how urgent could it be?

(well, apparently, it’s like. Super Urgent. but he doesn’t figure that out until far later, after janus is the one to bring up the fact that roman’s acting... weird for a reason, after roman is Officially dubbed ambition!roman, etc, etc, etc.)

as for any actual interactions he has with ambition!roman?

they’re stiff and awkward at best and end with him attempting to deck roman in the face Several Times and/or steal his sword in the hopes that he can wield it well enough to cause,,,,,, More Than A Scratch, let’s put it, at worst.

(tis not a fun time for anyone.)

virgil never understood the ambitious side of roman in the first place, so when that that side is heightened? 

honestly, the other sides are lucky it’s not worse.

(virgil and ambition!roman do their utmost to avoid each other, though, so at least there’s that.

they tend to get logan or janus to serve as a go-between if need be (virgil prefers logan because he and janus only Vibe occasionally (and because roman prefers janus) and roman prefers janus because a) janus is the only one that is even close to Vibing with him and b) ✨He Is In Love✨ and neither prefer patton because he’s like. five seconds away from breaking down throughout the Entire Conversation and neither of them really wants to deal with that when there’s the option of,,,,, Not Doing That), but they don’t even need that for the most part because there’s nothing for them to discuss. what would they need to say to each other that one of the others couldn’t?)

so to answer your question... yeah. they really Do Not Vibe.

how would chocobros calm down angry s/o after they had a bad day from work? s/o doesn't take their frustration out on them and keeps it to themselves.

Headcanons/short stories: The chocobros, handling their S/Owho had a difficult day at work and are trying hard to suppress their anger asthey don’t want to evidence weakness of their personality.

Noctis:

Noctis wouldn’t notice that theirS/O walked through the door with a face like thunder.

He’s too busy playing a new Cactuargame on his phone, though he’d mumble a ‘Hi babe’ once he heard his S/O entertheir living room.

His S/O would half want Noctis tobe attentive and notice they’re feeling shitty, yet the other half would ratherthey be left alone to drown in their sorrows.

Noctis would look up and ask theirS/O if they were alright, receive a response that indicates all is well,prompting him to go back into his own little world.

Noctis hadn’t noticed that 30minutes had gone by since he got back into his game – he would call for his S/Oonce he realised she’d retreated to the bathroom, in floods of tears whilsthaving a soak, angrily throwing their bath bomb in and out the water in anattempt to de-stress.

Noctis would notice the bathroomdoor was locked and started to panic once he heard the not so faint sound ofsobs.Noctis: ‘Hey, open up.S/O: ‘Just go away Noctis, get back to your cactuar shit or something and leaveme be!’Noctis: ‘I swear to Shiva, I’m gunna tear this door down, open up babe!’Noctis proceeds to slam the door open, breaking the hinges in the process.

Noctis sees his S/O’s sorry statein the bath, jumping in the bathtub despite being fully clothed, pulling theirS/O close to them before rubbing their back in an up and down motion to sooththeir mental pain.The S/O cried all the stress out of their body before being carried out of thebathtub, wrapped around in a towel.

Noctis gently threw their S/O ontothe sofa, handing them his indigo black coloured dressing gown.  He plopped himself next to his S/O and they finally opened up about their long-standingissues with a colleague who keeps taking the credit for all their hard work.

After hearing about his S/O’spredicament, Noctis opened up his laptop and immediately started searching forother local jobs – also offering the chance for his S/O to work as an advisorfor him, if they so desired. Gladio:

Gladio would be a little pissed attheir S/O coming home in a stroppy mood.

At first, he’d ask super annoyingquestions such as ‘that time of month?’ or tell them to quit the erraticbehaviour. Gladio would notice the S/O’s reluctance to talk about what’s up, so he’dassume he’s in the dog house and leave them to ‘think about how they’rebehaving’ for 10 minutes.

Gladio’s S/O would proceed tochange into their casual gear and head outside for a ‘light jog’ as they’d putit. However, the S/O was sprinting in rage, using all their energy to tire oftheir hatred for their job.

Gladio decided to go and look forhis S/O after noticing they hadn’t come back for an hour – usually they jog for30 minutes’ tops, especially past 6:00pm.

Gladio searched the area to noavail and began to get worried about their safety – it was getting dark andtheir surrounding areas were crawling with feral creatures. He decided to dashto the nearest open field and by chance, his S/O was sitting on a swing,kicking the ground, their sweat ridden face blushing a harsh tone of red.

Gladio ran over to his SO, holdingthem up, placing his hands on their shoulders with a stern expression.Gladio: Hey, what’s this all about?Whatever it is, moping around places that attract danger AINT GUNNA HELP!His S/O refuses to look at him, fully aware his raised tone indicates his concernfor them.

S/O: Same shit, different day – work blows, I know I shouldof told you but you seemed proud that I got the job at the local energy plant.Thing is, the people suck. I want to do it but…. but somewhere else.

Gladio: And you couldn’t of just said? You just had to makeit hella complicated and take it out on me huh?S/O: I know! I am……sorry. I’ll go pack my things, I was out of order and I knowthatGladio cuts his S/O off mid ‘sorry-speech’ and passionately kisses them,assuring them that they don’t give a damn about their job choices, along asthey’re happy, telling them to forget their angry episode as it’s called being ‘human’.

Prompto:

Prompto would witness his S/Oarrive home from work, slamming the door behind them, immediately storming intotheir bedroom.

Poor sweet Prompto would be hesitantto question their S/O’s mood – this isn’t like them, so he knows something mustbe up. He figures he should let their S/O cool off but he promised himself he’dgo check on them after just 5 minutes because he’s a paranoid soul who cannotbear negative energy in the house.

After just 3 minutes, Prompto couldbarely hang on, so he’d sprint upstairs, bursting in the bedroom to find hisS/O had disappeared. The window was open, so it’s obvious they snuck out,hoping that Prompto would stay downstairs and somehow not notice.

Prompto isn’t surprised – his S/Ocan be a little temperamental but it’s part of their quirky personality thatstrongly contributed to him falling for them in the first place. Still, he knewhe had to look for them; his S/O had a tendency to consume alcohol if they werein a bad mood and he didn’t want to deal with a hungover version of his S/Oever again after the last time.

Prompto strolled to the local barwith haste. Sure enough, his S/O was there, drowning their sorrows in theirfavourite alcoholic ebony blend, their eyes bloodshot with fury.

Prompto calmly sat beside themasking them if anything had happened at work earlier in the day. Turns out, hisS/O had a huge panic attack at work and their insensitive manager threatened todrop their role if they were to ‘shame’ the company again.

The little ray of sunshine wantedto make everything better for his S/O, claiming he’d speak to their manager andhow they should consider calling her parents as they’d like to know about thestate of their child’s wellbeing. Sadly, his S/O didn’t take too kindly to hiswords of wisdom, drunkenly accusing him of interfering before throwing thebottle down which smashed into tiny pieces over her bare legs. Angry, saddened andpained, Prompto’s S/O turned to the barkeep, apologised and made their exit.

Prompto chased after them outside,pulling their arm once he caught up to them.Prompto: ‘Errr, come on sweet cheeks,  that wasn’t too cool huh? Look, I know you’vehad a dreadful day and I want to make it all better. Why not start from now on?Today is just another day. That’s all it is. It..it won’t matter come tomorrow,I promise you!’S/O: ‘I can’t, I just can’t! I’ll only be continuously fired from pillar topost! I am useless and you deserve so much better!’

Prompto held his S/O from behind,kissing their neck repeatedly. Prompto: ‘Lets go home, you need to takeit easy, that’s the first step. How about I run you a bath and I’ll bring yousome chocobolate!’ he said enthusiastically.

S/O: ‘You are a precious bean. I don’t know how or why youput up with me. But I’m going to do my best to beat this, for me AND you.’

Ignis:

As Ignis’s beloved scuttles theirway through the apartment door, he is troubled at the prospect of his ‘darling’having to endure a troubling day.

It’s not often Ignis’s S/O wouldarrive home in such a foul mood as they would usually run into his arms, askinghim about his day and trying to attend to their needs – oh how thoughtful theywere.

Ignis would calmly ask what thematter was to receive a frosty, abrupt response. He responded by walking intothe kitchen, preparing his S/O a cup of de-caffeinated Ebony.Ignis would bring the Ebony over to his S/O who had already changed into theirnightwear and snuggled up into bed. His S/O bluntly expressed gratitude for theebony before turning their head away, scrolling through their phone.

Ignis decided to grab a book andperch himself next to his S/O, that way he could keep himself occupied withoutbothering his S/O too much – clearly, they were not in the right frame of mindfor conversation.

Ignis would notice his S/O had ahuge bruise on their left forearm when they sat up to drink their Ebony. He’dsit and stare – his S/O knew no words were needed and they’d have to fess up.Ignis’s S/O proceeded to explain they tried to carry a printer from one room toanother – failing due to their lack of strength, the printer causing them tofall, bashing their arm on the sharpest corner of the table nearby. Not onlythat, they were given a warning for using their phone during working hours.

Ignis would sigh and act agitated,expressing his loathe for their capricious behaviour, causing his S/O toretreat from their position, angrily stomping into the lounge, throwing theirphone onto the couch.Ignis followed his S/O, finding them crouched on the floor, their face extremelypale as they are muttering about their awful day and why they must endure suchterror for a sizable portion of the week.

Ignis would calmly approach theirS/O who was so worked up, their rage turned to panic.Ignis: Come now darling, remain calm andbreathe deeply – such a state of panic will only inflict harm on youphysically. I shall see you are appointed to continue your working dutieselsewhere – I was never particularly fond of that place. Might I suggest weventure outdoors? The breeze may highly benefit you.

His S/O nodded as he took her hand,leading her to the door before noticing rain was beginning to fall.

Ignis: Ah, precipitation. No matter. I will not allow my ladyto be rained upon. Perhaps a light meal, a blanket and a round of cards willsuffice? Of course, it’s your call.Thank you for requesting anon!
