This angel has another question! \o
do you have a general idea of what renrens voice would sound like? like a celebrity, singer, or maybe just a general description?
i hope all is going well for you 🫶🫶
✦゜ANSWERED: Ren's singing vc can be found here (I misread the original ask and thought it said "sings like", not "sounds like" sdksdgjs), but it also includes what I think Ren's talking voice would sound like ^^
But!! if I had to give an example, I've always imagined Eve (from Nier) to be very similar to Ren's talking voice!! It's soft, timid, and has that curious lilt to it — but also has dat [REDACTED] edge as well >:3

ive been rereading your ffxv fic "im trying hard to take it back" for literally four years now. please end my suffering and tell me how gladio feels. please. PLEASE. (but only if u want ofc)
(fic) Short answer: Gladio feels insane guilt and spends a lot of his life trying to make this up to Prompto. In the process, they deepen their connection as friends and do begin a relationship probably around the one-year mark of endless darkness. <3
Longer answer: (implications of abuse/violence tw but no worse than in the fic itself; just what others assume to be true even if it's not in the context of this specific fic)
Gladio is a secret romantic at heart who has always envisioned meeting his soulmate, but he's also duty-bound and duty comes first. So even though he reads romance books (amongst other types of books too) and indulges in his head a bit as many people do, he's often put his duty to the crown first and foremost in his mind. He also didn't imagine his soulmate was anyone on this trip and thought perhaps the person he may have been fated to meet died in the assault of Insomnia. Even if they were a refugee, they can't be a priority to him at this moment. His priority has to be Noctis.
Prompto has obviously grown on him over the course of their road trip, but there are aspects of them that don't 100% mesh (as is true with every realistic relationship). That said, Gladio never in a hundred years would want this moment of (understandable but out of line) frustration and anger in the wake of Luna and Altissa to be a permanent mark on Prompto's face. He's genuinely horrified and disgusted with himself for a long time after this and spends most of his life trying to make it up. He feels like a dirtbag about it.
That said, Prompto runs away from him in this moment and they need time to calm down, just as the fic shows. Noctis goes after Prompto, just like in canon. Prompto falls off the train and has his Despair Arc just like in the DLC, now with the added despair of "well, in addition to being a clone, my soulmate hates me. And in addition to the mark of inhumanity on my wrist (barcode), I have a giant hand print of him literally Shoving Me Away on my face. Forever."
Aranea: Well, do you want to die about it. Or do you want to live.
Prompto, eventually like in canon: Live, I guess. But it will be excruciating.
Aranea: That's what living is. We do it anyway. Your friends love you. Get off the floor.
He fights his way through his issues and gets rescued like in canon. Gladio probably tries to talk to him when they all catch up again, trying to apologize, and Prompto tells him to hold off on that for later.
Then, of course, Noctis is eaten by the crystal and "later" becomes much, much later as they evacuate and try to survive in eternal darkness. (Though they also can't Not think about it because it's a giant hand print. On Prompto's face. And every person they meet has Something To Say about it, for better or worse, whether they knew Prompto before or not. Prompto cannot escape it, and when Gladio is not doing Crown Duties he feels he must do in Noct's absence, he's with Prompto, so he also Cannot Escape It either. Even when the person speaking is unaware that Gladio left that mark. It's almost worse when they don't know, but when they see it's Gladio, who is such a big guy who seemingly hit Prompto and left that permanent mark there, some of them get nasty to him and some back off out of fear. Both are horrible. The guilt is eating him alive.)
Eventually, enough time passes as the dust settles that they do Talk About It. Gladio apologizes sincerely, for the 500th time. Prompto's like, "Well. It's not like you could have known that this would be The One Time it happened." And then cracks a joke about their soulmate mark being a Prompto's hand print on Gladio's ass from a butt slap in another life, which does help the tension somewhat. (The more Gladio tries to apologize, the more Prompto grows sick of hearing it, so they just have to move on and keep going, as he's learned to do.)
They grow closer over time, especially because there's not a lot of people who have survived to this point and even less later on. They do get together romantically, both because they do like the idea of soulmates (for different reasons) and also because they're living out of each others pockets for years, so there's an affection and dependency that develops there. Also, teenage Prompto always thought Gladio was really handsome and teen Gladio thought Prompto was cute and sincere for a pipsqueak.
When they are out together on dates in normal settings surrounded by strangers after the light returns, Gladio will receive dirty looks for the rest of his life from strangers who see the hand print on Prompto's face and immediately (correctly) assumes it was out of anger rather than a funny accident or something. (Edit: Some people will assume there is a funny story attached. Gladio will not know what to say to this. Prompto will play along.) He will learn to live with this. Prompto is really grateful Gladio is with him despite everything.
#FOUR YEARS that's so flattering adjklasjldkja;fsal; thank you for reading and for caring after all this time. it genuinely means a lot#if you were looking for a cuter/succinct answer i'm so sorry and can definitely give you one. this was just one of my more realistic aus#my text#asks#my fic#promptio#ffxv#for the record i don't think gladio and prompto are Rock Solid for the full 10 years in this au#i think they have periods in the darkness where they separate for a while. out of necessity. as many in the dark do.#whether due to feeling antsy or personality clashes or conflicting traumas of what they've had to deal with and Missing Noct and#Losing Faith and Regaining Faith and Obligations and The Horrors and so on#but I do think they cannot escape each other especially with gladio's hand print on prompto's face and so they can't Not think about#each other always. prompto in the mirror. gladio in his dreams.#so they are always drawn together and they do work things out and get used to each other#and end up relatively happy together in the end#they lean on each other a lot in the post-noct times#especially gladio who doesn't know what to do with himself without noctis always and ignis is equally lost#making themselves useful but running around the same ruts in the ground as always#and prompto is over here pulling himself up by his boostraps while pretending he's not crying in the caravan bathroom#like they all are#i do NOT mean for this to sound as depressing as it does. I think like years 1-2 post Hand Incident are really rough with moments of light#and then all the times after that are super solid <3#they DO end up happy together it just takes a lot of hard work and they know each other better than anyone by the end#thank you again for sending this ask after 4 years it is so wonderful to read

getting back into ffxv 5+ years after the first time means I have to migrate my playlists to a new music app, which sadly I have to do by clicking on each individual song because every service hates me and I hate them all too
also this has revealed to me that Google mysteriously deleted some of my files (don't worry I have a backup)
BUT more importantly I am reconnecting with my Noctis playlist, which includes discovering that I still remember all the words to some Gackt songs from 2000 😅
#lita talks about herself#my 11yo daughter is playing ffxv too we'll see how this goes#she and i both yelling at it while we're trying to play the same way lmao#'come ON noctis will you please pick up the item!!'#'omg why can i not point warp!!'#in my playthrough i got to caem and died laughing at Noctis opening the door from the wrong side#which i knew about before#i had just forgotten#also my kid was like mommy i want to write a book with you#but it'll have to be half fantasy for me and half fanfiction for you#i told her i can write fantasy with her#but it has to wait until I'm done with the fanfiction I'm in the middle of 😅#I'm so glad my kids are still young enough that telling them they can't read things because it's not appropriate for kids is sufficient#idk what I'd do if they started asking WHY it's not appropriate haha

Under what circumstances would Regis have met his grandchildren before he met his son again?
That...
Is a good question.
I could see Solaris finding some strange tunnels somewhere that lead into the archives below the Citadel. A secret pathway used way back when to connect the archive with the old palace.
(The palace that was in use while Insomnia did not have layers like an onion. It burned down a good 1500 years ago, and the new palace was build where the Citadel now is. The tunnels remained and were forgotten.)
So Solaris finds the tunnels and instead of finding a responsible adult - or Ardyn - she decides to be a brave 8 year old and go exploring. She lands in the royal archives.
She is fascinated by all the old books and scrols and other things she finds there. It's so different from where her dad stores his books. Her fascination is so great that she does not notice the man standing in front of a shelf with old history texts. (History texts Noctis had read shortly before he had vanished.)
Of course Solaris walks straight into the man, who nearly falls over. He is old, with white hair and many wrinkles, and he has a cane, which makes Solaris doubly sorry for walking into him.
She does what any responsible 8 year old would do: scream and hide behind a shelf. Only then does she realise that the man has a very stark resemblance to her dad.
#ask#hamelin-born#ffxv#dreams of our past#this shall be know as#the secret tunnel au#XD#(now aang is singing in my head)#solaris lucis caelum#regis lucis caelum#regis was yet again trying to find a clue of where noctis could have gone#by looking through the books he always read in the archive#is this a very contrived coincidence?#yes#do I care?#no#poor regis just got bowled over by an 8 year old#he has never seen before#how did this child get in here?#geist answers

You know, I get that the ffxv Fandom (at least. A large part of it) is into whump and prompto whump (at least. The parts of it from ao3 i see) but...
Ep 2 of brotherhood anime literally never shows him being bullied bc of his weight like is so common in fics. I'm not even sure the game itself says he was ever bullied bc of weight, just that he had body image issues
Like where are the pre canon fics where prompto gains friends with the local runners (like. What the anime shows.) Instead of just poor prompto being bullied for his weight??
#ffxv#to be clear whump enjoyers godspeed with their own thing#im just saying it doesnt really align with what canon actually shows#which is his classmates being polite but as distant as prompto is from them#and noctis just making a comment#like yeah sure you can read into it as him being bullied but again... not... what is actually shown#anyway just minor gripe

with the first teaser of noctis' patch being released i'd like to mention that if you're interested in reading sands of wrath i highly recommend reading chaos unsnarled beforehand!!! noctis' er story connects to it just a tiny bit 🤏 (a lot actually LOL)
#TECHNICALLY you can read it without chaos unsnarled but the beginning/end will kinda make no sense if you dont know the full context#but anyw if you wanna dissect every little thing abt noctis i suggest reading chaos unsnarled too#since theres quite a bit of noctis content there too + foreshadowing/hints that lead to sands of wrath :3#silly rambles#pgr

"As you well know, a game, once begun, is played until it is won or drawn. Though numerous, there are only a number of ways a game can play out before coming to one or the other. If you were to play for a thousand years and a day, you would know how a game would end before it even started."

What are the worst ships you could think of between your characters and why? 🥸
There's too many to count. One of the most notorious ones is Nathaniel X Sonia.
Sonia is too focused on putting up her own airs and appearances herself, how is she going to accept someone's rawest self when she can barely stand her own? She got countless aesthetic procedures done to look this way, and Nathaniel can make those changes and more without batting an eye. So he should try. After all, his status as a variant could ruin her, and everything she's lived for. How steep of an ask could it be to ask a shapeshifter to do the one thing they're made to do?
Nathaniel is too people-pleasing, especially during his journey to becoming more pacific. As such he mistakes resolving conflict as avoiding it... And that only makes things bubble up. His deepest insecurities are constantly being prodded at. Every time she tells him to shift into something more 'presentable' it only makes him feel more disgusting. Unworthy. Unlovable. But hey, maybe she has a point. He's used to changing for others, this is no different.
She doesn't like how his true form looks, but considers any form of his to still be his body. What's the problem if you look like this instead? Except... She also doesn't find him to be very fun. Not dynamic, not... Lively. Some unpredictability wouldn't kill you, Nate. Why couldn't you just try to be a bit more fun?
He doesn't like how she wants him to look like other men. Sure, it's still him... But this body isn't his. It doesn't feel like his, it doesn't look like his... It doesn't even sound like his. He feels like he's cucking himself for a woman who thinks he's a bore. He thinks she's vapid, undisciplined, and ditzy. And it's nearly enough to make him regret choosing the high road.
When they break up, it's kind of messy.
leave more bad ship ideas I want to see them
#honorable mention: Seraphina x Strohl (The driest relationship ever. shrivels because neither party will reach out)#Katya x Amon (They don't see eye-to-eye because of class differences regardless of how Katya's “prestige” came to be. Stuckup/ Blunt edge.)#Vincent x Verra (She's got the heart of a kitten. He'll break her without realizing. )#Noctis x Mara ( Do I need to go into detail as to why this is not a good idea.)#Amon x Sera (He doesnt have the time. Nor the patience. Nor the masochism. To put up with her. She's a tough one to love.)#Nate manages because A. he can read her mind and get infinitely more context#and B. Because he is extremely seasoned when it comes to analyzing people. otherwise sera would be aloooonw#and trying to justify her lonesomeness until she dies tragically young and bitchless
