My page art for the @ffxvwanderlustzine. I got to draw some floating islands in Tennebrae which came with a compulsory Lunafreya. And a secret Ardyn, because I am me and I cannot help myself.

Oh hey it's Noct's birthday! Wow... Anyways, here's a GMV I made forever ago. Surprisingly it's my most popular one by FAR (which I seriously never expected like wtf) but why not bust it out for old time's sake?

Also there's this GMV too, which is my personal fav

I would be too Luna. Seriously she puts up with so much shit and I love her for it 💗

My thoughts, during this scene.

Inktober day 3: Fish

Noctis is proud of his girlfriend for her first catch.

Some platonic ffxv headcanons:

Luna's favourite books growing up were crime and supernatural fiction. She liked learning about regional folktales, myths and superstitions too.

Meanwhile, Ravus as a kid preferred the historical and fantasy adventure tales. Y'know of knights, heroes and chosen ones.

Ravus taught Luna how to drive during one of his rare breaks from imperial military training. (You could say it was something of a crash course)

Noctis, if given the opportunity and he had no pressing responsibilities, would 100% rearrange his sleep schedule to catch a rare fish.

Ravus definitely jumped down from the top of the stairs at Fenestala Manor as a kid, but he'd never admit to it.

Luna's more likely to play as a character of a different gender in a MMO/RPG than Noctis. She'd relish the chance to be someone else for a change while Noctis, especially when he's younger, feels more comfortable playing a character close to home.

Older Noctis would totally be down to play as a GIRL (guy in real life)

Somehow, Ravus is the one with the most money in ANY of the games they play. (Don't ask him about his methods)

Bonus:

Ignis looks the best playing pool (out of the four). He's probably been hit on while playing.

Gladio is the first to buy the latest karaoke game. (He claims it's for Iris but it's not)

Prompto owns more rare trading cards than Noct because that's one aspect of life where his luck shines. He's lucky when it comes to gacha, prize competitions, claw machines - you name it.

(Noctis has average rng/gacha luck btw)

Gladio has the highest number of bowling strikes, not that anyone is keeping count.

They all play that squid-octopus splat game together. It's PVP time baby.

No one wants to play mahjong. They watch a movie instead. (Well, Ignis would play but only with other serious players. Wait, that's Ravus. Ignis joins Biggs, Wedge and Ravus' mahjong sessions)

Overcooked teams: Gladio/Noctis vs. Ignis/Prompto

There’s always been a lot of discussion around the way Ardyn’s tragedy is reflected in the chocobros.

But what always sticks out to me is that we only start to understand him after he’s killed his biggest reflection: Luna. We actually see the moment his mask cracks in the scene at the altar, because Luna is very much the most direct parallel to Ardyn. She’s a healer running on blind faith in a doomed world. She’s self-sacrificing and brave and devoted like Ardyn was. She’s truly blind to the plans of the gods she serves, like Ardyn was. And, most cruelly, she wears the face of the woman he loved, the woman whose betrayal* has been used to turn him into the monster we meet in the main story.

This gets underscored in the novellas when we finally get Luna’s perspective. The blindfold of her faith is removed. She’s cursed exactly like Ardyn. But she’s not safely removed from every source of help the way Ardyn was. The gods made a critical mistake. So she immediately sets out to use everything she can to fight the gods. She’s not broken like Ardyn because she’s not alone in this world. She even asks Ardyn himself for help. And, critically, he helps this cursed and less faithful but still-devoted and brave Luna.

This is why we get that uncharacteristic sincere brutality in the scene with Luna. Killing her is meaningless on its own: she’s a dead woman walking. That was for Noctis. But when she reaches out to him as his past self, so full of faith and devotion and grace, he has to reject her. He’s a monster and the world is damned, and she’s quoting the dogma that damned him personally. She hit home with everything he wants and grieves: his humanity, his faith, his sense of the world before his devotion was rewarded with betrayal. So he hits back. And it’s perhaps the most human thing he does in the game. Because there’s a part of him that wanted to take her hand.

* she was his betrayer and proof of his brother’s betrayal and was betrayed herself for her trust: Aera like Luna is an incredible narrative hinge. She’s the absolute encapsulation of the gods’ twisted justice.
