the few instances i drew all the chocobros together (for now)

[knightofflames]

Noctis: You love me, right, Ignis?

Ignis: Normally, I’d say yes without hesitation but I feel like this is going somewhere and I'm not quite sure I like it.

Shout out to "i wanna socialize with my Internet friends but I don't have anything to talk about", gotta be one of my least favorite predicaments

honestly I think the most fucked up part of the 10 year time skip in ffxv is the way that like. it takes a group of people who have literally on screen hand to heart sworn to die to protect noctis (most of whom I think fully expected to at some point do so!) and a) takes away any ability to serve that purpose by tucking noct away in the crystal, and then b) asks them point blank gun to their head if they’re willing to live for him too. like that decade is, in a very significant way, a trial run for the chocobros ability to persevere and function after the loss of noctis. and I think the part that gets me is how like,,, brutal and visceral it makes that question??? like all of a sudden it’s crystal clear that dying for noctis was the easier option here, and that living for him is going to mean suffering with no clear and assured end in sight. and of course all of them say yes, and keep saying yes every day for the rest of their lives, but it’s so interesting to me that This is the point where it’s seriously posed to them for the first time.

Just a sidenote - shipping to US is currently on hold due to tariff chaos. All small businesses in the world, including me and my partner's, are waiting for how this whole situation will unfold.

Orders outside the US are not affected and very much welcomed.

My MortSTOR is now updated and I will be restocking shortly, so feel free to make special orders ♥

"I sort fics by kudos and only kudos on stories with high kudos counts, why aren't there more stories with high kudos, I ran out of things to read." You're part of the problem.

"Authors artificially inflate comment counts by thanking people, I can't find anything with a real comment count to read." No they fucking are not, they're grateful for engagement.

"I can't read anything under 100k." That's the majority of fics you're ignoring, most novels aren't even that long.

"I don't have time to look for the incredibly rare diamond in the rough, so I won't read anything below a certain amount of kudos, comments, and hits." Those fics are popular because people gave them a chance and then snobs like you found them.

"I won't read anthing with a single typos." You made typos in that sentence, get off your high horse.

"One singular author didn't thank me for commenting, I'm never commenting on any fic again so I don't get burned." You're punishing people because someone didn't give you engagement they don't owe you that they might not have seen.

"This fic is three months old, it's so old, it doesn't matter if I comment or kudos, it's old." Fics do not have expiration dates, comment and kudos.

You're killing your fandoms with your snobbish behaviors.
