"How many years I know I bare— I found something In The Woods somewhere."

Phoenixflare x Hozier's "In The Woods Somewhere" "Lost in the Woods" Secret Santa Prompt for @february13rose "In the poem, the protagonist finds himself in the woods, and is terrified by beasts until his love interest in Heaven sends a mentor to pull him out of the woods and set him back on the virtuous path he had lost." (x)

To me, this gifset is a very loose 'retelling' of Dante (Dion) moving through the "circles of hell," though primarily the version of the stories presented in Hozier songs (both In The Woods Somewhere, which these lyrics come from, and most of the phenomenal album Unreal Unearth: Unending, particularly Hymn to Virgil) which that draw very heavily on the imagery and themes of The Inferno, albeit in that more romantic way only Andrew Hozier Byrne can be. In my mind, we are following a Dion reflecting on the madness inflicted on him by Ultima, both the slow degradation of his confidence in his father and his ability—and how, after what he did in Twinside, he considers himself lost and unworthy of saving. At the start, he is waking to a version of himself he cannot face, one burdened by regret & a lack of desire to live–but who is slowly led back to "the surface" and forgiveness by "the voice from heaven" (Joshua), who is also in a way his Virgil in that he is the authoritative guide leading him through things he doesn't understand.

In my original vision, the ending of this set is a lot sadder—more in alignment with the tone of the game and Hymn to Virgil (where Dante refuses to leave hell because he won't leave Virgil, and...they are trapped in hell together lol). In this, he escapes that hell with Joshua (out of respect for Luna's desire for a happy ending), both because he #DeservesIt and also because of the Phoenix's proverbial and literal ability to "revive" him, whether through love or his powers. Either way, the redemption and forgiveness he desires is achieved through his alliance with Joshua–which is actually kinda like the story told in canon, at least to me!

Also, side note: the grid was done in reference to Dion’s talk of his gilded cage in the quest Clive does for him in the Hideaway. It just struck me as poignant to give to him here.

Hope you enjoy your gift! :)

Clive gets given a special seal by every npc in the game—where does he keep them????

My boy, there was a time people called me the "Executioner". Or was that my axe? No matter, heads will roll all the same!

The reunion scene after the Bahamut fight is so good. After being torn apart by so much loss and heartache, Clive and Joshua reuniting 18 years after the events of Phoenix Gate always chokes me up. This game was a masterpiece in showcasing the unbreakable bond they have.

[Conversation while Clive, Jill, and Joshua ride chocobos together]

Jill: Do you think that we ought to think of a name for each of Ambrosia's companions?

Clive: Perhaps we should.

Joshua: I already know what mine is called.

Jill: You've got a name for her already, Joshua?

Joshua: I do.

Clive: And?

Joshua: Her name is ‘Kweh’.

Clive: [with distain] You've named your Chocobo “Kweh”?

Joshua: [Looking proud and mischievous] I certainly did not. I asked her what her name was and that was her reply.

Jill: [charmed laughter] You're adorable, Joshua.

Clive: [Long suffering sigh™]

I have come to an announcement. I made a new au, this time for FFXVI. During the Night of Flame, at Phoenix Gate, in a moment of agony and denial after Joshua was brutally beaten by Ifrit, Clive makes an Egi. Of Joshua. Egi Joshua saves Clive from Anabella’s clutches and Clive is unaware that Egi Joshua is not really his brother.

Anyways I personally have some ideas for this au but ultimately I wanna see how people will run with it.

Clive: It seems Charon packed cookies in our satchels for the trip. Joshua: Have you tasted them? What do you think? Clive: It baffles me how cookies could be so dry and goopy at the same time. If I had to rate them, I'd give them a 3. Joshua: I baked those cookies for you actually. Clive: …out of 3.

Some things just never change, but a big brother's patience does. I just love them, okay?

Imagine that.

Imagine being created to kill your brother and to be punished for it. Over and over.

ok but it’s hilarious how the first time Clive and Dion properly meet, Joshua hugs him (just like Jill hugged Clive a few moments earlier), and Dion is all “I debt I would see repaid" all smiles and warm hand on Joshua’s shoulder.

... and The moment Clive turns to see them, approaches and says “Prince Dion”, he immediately takes his hand off Joshua’s shoulder.
