Nyx Week 2025 Completionist Badge
It's been a week since Nyx Week 2025 ended, so we wanted to post our badge/banner for this year for those who would like it. Since each of our title cards this year had a slightly-theme-adjacent color tint, we thought combining them was appropriate for completing the week.
HOWEVER, this post does not mean you can't post Nyx Week works anymore! Just that you might want to tag us directly because we'll be monitoring the tags less often. Please do continue to work and post, and we'll reblog them as we become aware of them and update our recap posts.
The masterlist should be up sometime this week, along with a survey to see what we can improve for next year and to straighten out details on if we'd like to do events for the whole glaive and OCs as we've done in previous years, and how best to run them this year if we do!
Thanks again for everyone who participated this year - whether you wrote, drew, edited, commented, reblogged, liked, or cheered on your fellow Nyx fans. It was great to see such enthusiasm and love for Nyx after all these years, and we have so many amazing new works to enjoy.
You all are fantastic!
Known Completionists for 2025:
Shiary/Niaswish: Ao3, Tumblr Blossom-adventures: Tumblr Meissashush (who helped with all the title cards for each day, as well as the badge above): Ao3, Tumblr UmbrellaOfGlass: Ao3 (locked for guests)

Kingsglaive Timeline
We all know the timeline for FFXV is a little fuzzy at the best of times, but we thought we would go over what we know of the timeline of the movie. Unfortunately, there are only a few indications of hard dates in Kingsglaive, but we can make some educated guesses at the order of things, at least.
Unknown - Drautos gives briefing to Regis, Ardyn arrives with ultimatum
Unknown - Kingsglaive finds out about the treaty, Crowe is given her mission
Unknown - Crowe leaves on her mission, Chocobros leave on their road trip
May 14th - Luna arrives in Insomnia, Libertus and Nyx find out about Crowe, Libertus leaves
May 15th - Nyx gives Luna Crowe’s hairpin at the party, Luna is kidnapped by Glauca
May 16th - The day of the treaty and fall of Insomnia
First the hard dates we know. The treaty is signed on May 16th, with the attack happening that evening and into the night, with the movie ending at dawn on May 17th. The party on the roof, where Nyx passes Luna Crowe’s hairpin, is the evening before, so that makes it May 15th. Luna mentions meeting Nyx the day before, so that makes May 14th the day Nyx escorts Luna to Regis, Crowe’s death is revealed and Libertus leaves the Kingsglaive. A busy day!
That gives Libertus one day, May 15th, to get with the resistance and help them plant bombs, which seems quick, but maybe he knew them beforehand.
Beyond those dates, we have educated guesses that we’ll go through in order.
We see Drautos give a briefing to Regis, and perhaps the rest of the Council, in the throne room just before Ardyn shows up with the ultimatum about Noctis’ engagement. When we see Nyx meet up with the others at Yamachang’s, Luche seems to know about Ardyn’s visit and terms though the others don’t, so presumably this takes place the same day Ardyn visits or very shortly after.
How much time do you think they got between coming back from the opening battle and Drautos’ briefing/Ardyn’s arrival?
The rest of the Kingsglaive find out about the treaty when it gets announced on the news, Drautos gives them their briefing and sends Crowe on her mission. Whether this is the day after Arydn shows up or a few days later is anyone’s guess.
In Parting Ways, the audio drama prologue, the treaty date has not yet been set, but Libertus does know the terms of the treaty, so this sometime after the briefing. Unfortunately, there’s not any more clues to definitively place the audio drama as anywhere but after the Kingsglaive briefing but before Luna shows up on May 14th.
Sometime before May 14th, Crowe leaves on her mission and is killed. How many days did she get to prepare? How long does Drautos give her to get to Tenebrae and reach Luna? When her body is discovered and transported to the Citadel, how long has she been dead? Given that her body appears to still be in rigor when she’s found, that implies she hasn’t been dead more than 24 hours, which would put her death sometime on May 13th at the earliest.
How long does it take to get to Tenebrae, anyway?
There are so many questions about the timeline of events that the movie just doesn’t answer. Fortunately, that’s what fanon is for. Please let us know your thoughts!
Speaking of time, Nyx Week is a little over a month away! We look forward to seeing your Nyx works starting July 20th!

4 Week Warning - Nyx Week 2025
Nyx Week 2025 is almost upon us! Just 4 weeks away!
Good luck to everyone planning on participating - may you have the time, inspiration, and energy to make your plans real.
A gentle reminder as well, that posting just a few prompts, or posting submissions after the week are always okay. Please use the deadlines to help you, not to punish yourself.
We should have one last deep dive before the week starts, so keep your eyes open!
And good luck. I know it will all be worth the wait.

Tracking Nyx's Kukris - Part 2
[[Cropped from the wiki]]
If you missed it, here's Part 1.
Okay, we’re back, this time looking at Nyx in the second half of the movie and how he uses his kukris. Since he has his kukris the whole time from here on out, the focus is more about his fighting style than worldbuilding of when and how he’s allowed to use them, but we still thought it might be interesting!
As before, descriptions are in the alt text, and sources should be below the image - likely the wiki, @capsource, or @starjunco. All gifs are courtesy of @starjunco.
As the glaives warp onto the airships, Nyx has the Galahdan kukri in hand and uses that single blade over and over during the warps rather than switching between the two.
[[You can see here why that's useful]]
When he reports in to Drautos, he doesn’t bother with the juggling act from the first scene, and just keeps hold of the kukri as he taps his earpiece with the same hand. Shortly thereafter, Luche uses the same gesture with his own weapon in hand.
[[From @starjunco]]
Nyx infiltrates the airship with weapons sheathed, keeping his focus on balance and stealth.
As he realizes the whole thing is a trap and starts running to Pelna and Luna, he reaches down and draws his Galahdan kukri from his leg sheath with his right hand and then flat out sprints with it in hand. By the time he reaches them, he’s switched the kukri to his left hand, which leaves his right hand free to pull Luna back after an octopus-like arm grabs Pelna (though Nyx does nothing to attack Ultros with either).
[[Just resign yourself to most things being blurry from here on out as Nyx is moving fast and often other things are in focus. This is the best I could get and required me to watch Pelna die several times which is cruel and unusual.]]
We next catch up with Nyx as the Wall falls, and Nyx and Luna stare out the airship window. Nyx has his weapons sheathed again, so when the first traitor approaches, Nyx takes him out by snapping his neck with his bare hands.
The glaive Sonitus stabbed sends a fireball down what appears to be the engine in the airship he's on, which slams the whole ship into the one Nyx is on and spins it vertical as it takes out what appears to be important equipment. Nyx scrambles for his balance, which makes his empty hands a stroke of good luck. It’s impressive how well the kukris stay sheathed even with all the jostling, climbing, and odd angles.
(NB: As the signing ceremony devolves into chaos, all the Lucian nobility pull swords out of nowhere, but only Clarus and Regis form (equally perfect) magical shields, and thus survive. I point this out as further proof that being able to summon a weapon appears to be an ability independent of Regis' magic, and thus gives interesting context to when people appear to be unarmed vs actually are, and the Glaives' use of sheathes)
Ultros Fight
But Nyx's luck is fickle, so even as they climb a traitor comes after them and tackles Nyx off the catwalk. As they grapple in midair and the traitor tries to stab Nyx, Ultros grabs the traitor and Luna both.
As Nyx continues to fall, he uses his left hand to draw his Insomnian Kukri (the first time we see him use it himself) and throws it to warp to “safety”. As a point of interest, he throws it using his left and catches it with his right. This could be because Nyx is right handed (we mainly see him use and especially catch a blade with his right hand) or just for the cinematography and continuity because the camera switches sides, and so the left hand that threw and the right hand that catch both end up on the “far side” from the camera’s perspective.
Sometime while we were paying attention to what was happening to other people, Nyx sheathed his blade again, which is once again a good thing because when the ship starts breaking apart further he has his hands free to dodge the debris coming down and to catch himself on the railing.
He doesn’t bother to draw either kukri as he studies Ultros and watches several glaives fall past him to their deaths and sees how the creature reacts.
Eventually he reaches down into his leg sheath and draws the Galahdan kukri and lets go of the railing to fall down toward Ultros and Luna.
He throws the Galahdan kukri with his right hand into the arm holding Luna and catches it with his right hand. He’ll then dangle from that grip for about half a minute and through some very crazy gyrations, which is a very impressive feat of strength, especially since he's already been hanging one-handed from the railing for a decent chunk of time.
As he hangs, he uses his left hand to form fireballs, throwing one that misses Ultros and hits the engines again, and then another that hits true as Ultros flails.
Luna is released and Nyx follows, warping after her even though his kukri literally bounces off some debris that falls between them. Nyx catches it running (perhaps with his left hand, but only perhaps, because) then his hands are magically free to catch both Luna and the rail again. We know he didn’t just drop it because it’s in its sheath three seconds later, so perhaps he just sheathed it very quickly during the lens flare from the warp.
[[The first picture is horrible but it shows you the bouncing Galahdan kukri enough to identify it. The second picture of Nyx with his hands full is lovely and crisp because it's from @capsource]]
Then we check in with what else is going on in Insomnia, then back to our intrepid duo trying to escape the crashing ship. Ultros whales on Nyx for several blows, but his kukri-less hands allow him to keep up a fragile but adequate shield until the catwalk they're on shifts further away from Ultros and into the sunlight.
[[Thanks again, @capsource!]]
Luche conveniently arrives with a dropship and is immediately knocked aside by Ultros. Luna climbs to the now empty dropship, and Nyx draws the Galahdan kukri with his right hand to warp after her. The kukri again bounces off the floor of the dropship, but Nyx literally rolls with it and finds his feet immediately. His hands are again free as he yanks Luna out of the pilot’s chair, but then he presumably has to sit on the back sheath, which seems frankly uncomfortable. Minor in the grand scheme of things, but still not fun.
[[Interesting to see how the blade itself (clearly the Galahdan kukri from this shot) turns the blue of a warp before Nyx even arrives.]]
(Fun side note - Ultros literally steams every time it's in the sunlight. It happens when Nyx knocks it back with a fireball and here as it tries to drag the dropship back into the nice dark airship)
When it comes time to exit the airship (again by warping), Nyx again draws the Galahdan kukri with his right hand, then throws it with an awkward sort of backwards grip as he leaps out of the ship. He seems to materialize right as he makes contact with Luna, and his momentum pushes them forward. Nyx is definitely more on fire than usual as he lands - perhaps the result of coming out of the warp early or of carrying the momentum of two people? Oddly enough, though he threw with his right hand, his left hand seems to be burning a hotter blue.
Maybe it's foreshadowing for the ring.
Glauca Fight - Part 1
Luna and Nyx run into the signing room through the double doors rather than the balcony, which makes me wonder how long they had to run around the interior of the Citadel to get here.
Nyx warps in and fights Glauca with his Galahdan kukri in his right hand. He is tossed away, then roars angrily and continues to increase his multitasking ability as he sends off a burst of lightning from his right hand for once, casting around the kukri. The spell seems to have a recoil, perhaps as a result of his quick casting or of the kukri.
[[gif and still of angry Nyx both courtesy of @starjunco. I included the still because of how you can see the lightning as he casts.]]
He then draws the Insomnian kukri with his left hand, throwing it at Glauca even as the sparks from his lightning spell dissipate, but Glauca deflects the literally low attack despite the distraction and surprising angle.
Before the first kukri hits the ground, Nyx immediately follows it up with the Galahdan kukri, which he warps to, landing feet first on Glauca’s chest and then sort of kicking back into a handstand then a roll. He picks up the Insomnian kukri after comes out of the roll, then stands up with both in hand as he moves into the next combo.
[[watch carefully - the gif has both attacks. I could not get a clean shot of the roundoff, roll, and kukri recovery but it all happens clearly if you watch at .25 speed, I promise.]]
As soon as he gains his feet, Nyx throws what seems to be the Galahdan kukri high into the air and warps above Glauca, catching it with what might be his left hand, then uses both kukris to attack Glauca many times, each attack deflected by Glauca’s gauntlet or sword.
He continues to just blitz without much finesse, attacking left then right then left than right with a reverse grip on each kukri that keeps him close to Glauca. Perhaps he’s trying to be more of a distraction here than actually attack, to keep eyes off of where Luna is helping Regis to the elevator behind Glauca.
After several seconds of that, Nyx throws the Galahdan kukri high up in the air for a change of pace, but Glauca catches it (rude) by the blade, and as Nyx catches the other end Glauca uses it to throw him down. Nyx struggles to rise, but luckily Glauca doesn’t attack him immediately.
[[That's just rude.]]
Both of these beats - Glauca knowing Nyx's style enough to catch the blade and his hesitation to finish Nyx off - are, in retrospect, hints about Glauca's identity.
Before Glacua can actually commit to an attack, Regis sends a massive lightning blast at Glauca, pushing him clear of Nyx. Nyx takes full advantage, scrambling to his feet and heaving the Galahdan kukri with his right hand in an underarm pitch. Nyx lands standing and runs one more step to back of elevator, then crouches as the flames burn out.
[[This is a great indication of how Nyx often just chucks his kukris with more strength than finesse, which honestly makes sense for warping, especially here - you want to get as far as you can]]
After Nyx finishes steaming and panting a few more breaths, he sheathes both kukris to talk to Regis about what has happened and will happen next.
When they elevator reaches its destination, Nyx leads the way through the escape path with both kukris still sheathed, and he keeps them tucked away through Regis’ death and getting Luna to the car (where he once again has to sit on the blades. Ouch.)
As they try to escape, Nyx throws the Insomnia kukri at Tredd, in an insane throw through girders between them and as both the dropship and car are moving under other people’s control, still managing to embed it deep into the metal of the ship.
[[Dang, Nyx. That went like 10 cm/3" into solid metal.]]
Since he cannot warp to it, he then loses it until Libertus picks it up when he later stumbles upon the wreckage of the dropship and the bodies of the traitor glaives.
We might do a part III where we trace the kukris through the final battle after Nyx puts on the ring, but for now we’ll leave you with a quick summary of their journey, which is generally more familiar to us all: Libertus hangs on to the Insomnian kukri and then offers it back to Nyx when they reunite. Nyx tells him to keep it since Libertus is otherwise unarmed, and then Libertus stabs Glauca with it when Glauca comes after Luna in the car. It stays in Glauca’s shoulder, and then Nyx sees it and warps to it at the end of their fight.
But I think this post is long enough for now.

Tracking Nyx's Kukris - Part 1
Welcome to our first deep dive for Nyx Week 2025!
We’re going to take a look at where Nyx’s kukris are during the film, with a special focus on at where weapons seem to be allowed and not allowed in Insomnia. There will be a part two that focuses a little more on *how* Nyx uses them during the battles in the middle of the movie.
Unless noted otherwise, the images are from the wonderful @starjunco. Thanks also to @capsource and the wiki. All images have descriptions in the alt text; let us know if there are any issues.
As a reminder, Nyx has two kukris, one made in Galahd that he keeps in the sheath on his right leg and one made in Insomnia that he keeps in the horizontal sheath at the small of his back. The wiki has a lovely image of them here (the Insomnian blade is the top, the Galahdan in the middle, and the bottom image shows the sheathed Galahdan kukri with the small blades used for sharpening it in attached sheathes):

Got those in mind? Good! Let’s dive in.
Psych! Actually, we’re going to briefly talk about other weapons first, to keep with our theme of where and when weapons are used.
The movie opens with a shot of the three courts - Lucis, Niflheim, and Tenebrae. Neither of the people (vs MTs) in the first two groups have weapons, but when we see the group collected in the grove of Tenebrae there is an armed set of guards (though none of the nobles appear to be armed, at least openly). Not just Regis, who has weapons stored in the ring, but neither Sylva nor Ravus have weapons on them, which of course does not go well for them.
Now back to the important part - Nyx.
Nyx makes his grand entrance literally one-shotting a behemoth, and it says a lot about him that this is not the pinnacle of his appearance in the movie. It’s impossible to see during the attack, but after he lands we do see that he used the Galahdan kukri for this.
[[image courtesy of @capsource. Technically from slightly later in the battle but it's much prettier than anything from this early.]]
In fact, throughout the opening battle, he will only use the Galahdan kukri, mainly keeping it in his right hand, leaving his left free for magic usage and catching his balance. If this is his normal fighting style, it might explain the differences between his gloves.
[[edited from stills from @capsource]]
Shortly after he appears onscreen, Nyx does do a little shuffle to switch the Galahdan kukri to his left hand so he can use his right to tap his earpiece, then tosses it back to his right hand before warping off. This is pretty minor, and mainly interesting because of a scene we’ll discuss later.
It also means that it is his Galahdan kukri (in his right hand) that he points at Pelna while he claims to be “worth the wait”.
[[image courtesy of @capsource]]
Nyx keeps it out through most of the fight - when Luche tries to stop him from charging back at the enemy as the Glaives retreat, he still has it drawn, and it’s what he throws to go after Libertus.
Throughout the fight with the Cerberus he keeps to that pattern - magic with his empty left hand, stabbing and throwing with the blade in his right (except when he seems to use the blade to magic himself invisible as Libertus did earlier).

[[potato quality cap courtesy of me]]
It does get slightly odd when he gives Libertus a blade so they can warp out of there, though, as he seems to have two Galahdan kukris here. This could be a byproduct of the opening battle being created by a slightly different group than did the rest of the movie, or a simple mistake. If you have a fun headcanon about why it happens from an in-universe perspective, feel free to share it; we’d love to hear it!
To further complicate the situation, when he helps carry Libertus out on the stretcher, Nyx’s leg sheath appears to be empty, but it’s filled by the time he talks to Drautos.
[[First potato quality image another cap by me, second lovely image by @capsource]]
The first appearance of the Insomnian kukri is actually here, when Tredd uses it to shave as they head back to Insomnia. Tredd never uses this weapon again, so presumably it’s the same one Nyx uses (or again, an error in communication from the different groups). Have fun with this information (and again, tag us about it!)
[[another low quality image from me]]
Side note: Here’s another interesting point about weapon etiquette - when Drautos reports to Regis, he has his blade by his side. Given that we never see him without it, it could just be easier on the animators, but it does raise some questions. Does Drautos have some special privilege that allows him to be armed here, or a dispensation for the fact that perhaps he can’t summon it as other nobles and characters can summon theirs? (remember, even Aranea can summon her lance, so it doesn’t appear to be a specifically Lucian magic).
[[It's low quality, it's from me!]]
A very interesting weapon in the throne room is whatever swords the Crownsguard are using here to (ineffectively) bar Ardyn from the room. They appear to possibly be able to fold at the round parts, though it’s hard to get a good picture of them given the lighting. Another interesting worldbuilding note that probably comes from saving money on extra models - the Crownsguard here are dressed the same as at the Gate, which is more like fatigues than anything as dressy as one might expect in a throne room. Make of it what you will.
Nyx appears next on gate duty, where he is in his basic uniform (plus chain, as always) but has both his kukris in their sheaths. Petra appears to be unarmed, but perhaps has the same sort of folding sword as his fellows in the throne room at his side.
Obviously, none of the glaives are armed at Yamachang’s, but we also don’t see where Nyx’s sheathes went. He has his jacket over his arm, but the belts and sheathes don’t seem to be there.
Then we switch to training, where – at least in his flashback – Nyx is fully suited up in his battle uniform, with both kukris. He tries to throw the Galahdan one but something fails, and so Nyx starts falling, dropping the Galahdan kukri as he falls.
When he snaps out of it, he’s in his basic uniform but with both kukris. There are a few other glaives armed as they listen to the broadcast of the peace treaty, and a few others in battle uniforms, too, likely for training.
But when they assemble in the briefing room as Drautos commands, Nyx appears to be the only one (other than Drautos) still armed, which is very odd.
[[Look, it's a bad quality still we know it's me, but it's not all my fault this time! Tredd is just out of focus in the shot; that's not on me!]]
Next we cut to seeing off Crowe, where neither Libertus nor Nyx are armed, though both are in the standard uniform. Nyx (out of standard uniform) is also unarmed as he watches the tv in his apartment. ^_^
As Nyx prepares to report for duty at the Citadel, he swings on his jacket while clearly unarmed (which is likely wise amid all those people). Drautos picks him up in Noctis’s car, and since Drautos doesn’t have his odd yoke around his shoulder (presumably for more freedom of movement in the car) I hope he also has taken off his sword, because that seems to be rather uncomfortable.
That said, when they actually pick up Luna, Drautos has the yoke and his sword on, and Nyx is suddenly armed. Either Nyx does keep his kukri and their sheathes in a sort of storage space, or Drautos had already picked them up and had them all shoved in the back seat or trunk (I imagine that was pretty funny to watch them wiggle into if so).
Nyx keeps his kukris as he escorts Luna into the throne room, perhaps because he is functioning as a guard for her, and perhaps because they just assume Regis (and presumably Clarus and any Crownsguard) should be able to handle himself as a Lucian king? Who knows.
Even once he leaves Luna’s side and checks in with Drautos, Nyx keeps his weapons, though he loses them sometime during the run to meet Libertus outside the morgue when he hears about Crowe being returned. Perhaps he ditched them for speed or to cause less panic from an armed Glaive running, or there is some sort of etiquette about being armed outdoors within the citadel district. Have fun with speculation!
An indeterminate about of time later, as Nyx is handed Crowe’s effects, he still is unarmed. T_T
While on guard duty at the signing party, Nyx is again unarmed (which might be wise considering the Emperor of Niflheim is there) but Drautos has his sword, which might indicate special privileges or again that the animators just didn’t bother to make a model without the sword.
The next day, while on guard duty at the Citadel steps, Nyx is once again unarmed – perhaps that is another reason he might not have bothered with carrying his kukris when he was originally reporting for duty earlier.
The Crownsguard members preparing for extra guard duty do appear, however, to be armed, either with the folding swords or some kind of taser.
Nyx doesn’t have his kukris while running back to his apartment or fastwalking in the Citadel to talk to Regis. He also is unarmed during his talk with the king.
Then we get a lovely arming scene as the Glaives gear up to rescue Luna, and Nyx is armed through the rest of the movie.
[[I tried]]
This seems a good place to stop, though, and continue with the major battles in another post soon.

Someone commissioned me to draw some Modern AU-esque LuNyx dancing in the kitchen and falling in love. :)
It's been a looong while since I drew them. I rarely accept pair characters for commissions due to the unpredictable nature of my work which makes me take a long time to draw them fully rendered. The busyness also affects my mood to draw which leads to a quality that I'm not satisfied with - I don't want to give half-assed work, hence just accepting single character commissions.
But since it's LuNyx and they make me feel nostalgic and I felt like I can give my best to it, I accepted this one.
-----
Commissions are still open, check out my pinned post if you're interested. :)

Flufftober Day 1
Cor knelt down, doing his best to keep his fury from his face and school his features into something comforting. His katana already vanished back into the Armiger, he held out his hands, palms up. “It’s okay, kids, you’re safe now.”
The widening of the eyes of the one of the girls huddled before him was the only warning he had. He twirled, pulling his katana out in the same motion. Behind him, one of the traffickers dropped his gun, screaming as a black blur dropped down on his head. The trafficker swore, grabbing the yowling cat, and threw it. It hit a post with a thud, sliding into the water with a splash.
Cor didn’t waste the opportunity, stepping forward to drive the hilt of his katana into the trafficker’s stomach, then sweeping his feet out from under him. He pulled out cuffs and secured the trafficker just as Espervier ran in, followed by more Crownsguard.
Cor stood back, letting Espervier take charge of the scene. He walked over to the edge of the pier, scanning the water. He bent down and scooped out a wet ball of fur, relieved to feel it breathing. He tucked it into his jacket, nodded to Espervier, and walked back to the docks. Nodding in acknowledge to the mix of Crownsguard and Crown City Police surrounding the scene, he didn’t stop until he reached his car. He opened the back door and laid the cat on the seat.
The cat sat up and stared at him. it was clearly well cared for, current soggy appearance notwithstanding. Not a stray, certainly. What was it doing here? Who was missing their cat?
“Who do you belong to?” Cor muttered, watching the seat get slowly wetter as the cat dripped on it.
The cat only sneezed in answer.
“Don’t go anywhere.” Cor sighed, and shut the door. He trotted back to one of the Crown City police cars and came back with a borrowed towel.
He opened the car door, and froze as he found a soggy Kingsglaive in the place he had just left a cat.
“Ah, I can explain?” The glaive gave him an embarrassed smile.
With a start, Cor realized he recognized him. The rising star, the one Titus liked to bitch about. How very interesting.
“I look forward to it, Ulric.” He held the towel out.
