Clarus and Cor mean well, but the former is 10-20 years behind on his pop-culture references and the latter mixes up all the words.

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. :)

nyx cabin headcanons

children of nyx

• most them prefer solitude or small, close-knit groups. they’re the type of people who linger on the edge of the crowd, watching rather than participating— until they choose to speak, and then everyone listens.

• the children of the night aren’t loud— but their silence is never empty. they carry themselves like they know something no one else does, and half the time, they actually do.

• they speak softly and rarely— but when they do, people listen. even the loudest hermes or apollo kids will go still if a child of the night decides to finally offer their opinion.

• they have this unsettling way of making eye contact that feels like they’re looking straight through you— like they know every secret you’ve ever tried to bury.

• most people assume they’re all aloof or unfriendly, but in reality, they’re just careful with their words. they don’t waste breath on things that don’t matter.

• they are always watching— not in a creepy way, but in that unnerving, casual way where you don’t realize they’ve been paying attention to you for weeks until they mention something you only did once.

• they remember everything— what time you usually wake up, the book you were reading three summers ago, the way your voice cracks when you’re trying not to cry.

• if you’re up late at the campfire or sneaking out after curfew, there’s probably a child of the night sitting in the shadows pretending not to notice— but they see everything.

• they’ll never tell anyone your secrets— but they keep them like pressed flowers between pages of forgotten books.

• they might seem emotionally distant, but underneath all that shadow and deadpan sarcasm, they’re some of the most empathetic campers at camp half-blood.

• they don’t ask if you’re okay— they just know.

• the kind of friend who will quietly leave a cup of tea or a folded blanket on your bunk after a hard day without saying a word.

• they aren’t the type to comfort you with flowery words or hugs— but they’ll sit with you in silence for hours until you’re ready to talk.

• half the time, they never need to be asked— they just show up.

• they have the most morbid sense of humor out of any cabin— and they make no apologies for it.

• "oh, you’re afraid of the dark? that’s cute."

• when someone says, "what’s the worst that could happen?" they will immediately list five horrifyingly specific possibilities without blinking.

• their sarcasm is so dry it’s hard to tell if they’re joking or serious half the time. they specialize in gallows humor— the type of jokes that make people laugh and then immediately feel guilty for laughing.

• they tell ghost stories at the campfire that no one can ever quite prove aren’t real.

• they’ll threaten to curse someone who messes with their friends, but they’ll also sneak into the infirmary at 3 am to leave an extra blanket for a camper who’s been having nightmares.

• they hate seeing people cry— they just panic and shove a warm cup of tea at you before awkwardly disappearing into the shadows.

• they carry a certain stillness about them, like they’ve seen things others haven’t. they give advice that sounds too wise for their age, dropping cryptic one-liners like they’re ancient oracles.

• most of them feel more alive at night. they’re the ones you’ll catch sneaking out to the campfire at 2 am with a book or walking barefoot along the lake under the stars.

• they don’t do campfire singalongs— but if you ask nicely, they’ll tell you old myths in the dark, their voices low and steady like they’re weaving spells into the air.

• some children of them can slip into the dreams of others without meaning to. they often wake up with memories of conversations that never really happened— or prophecies hidden in nightmares.

• some are born with silver-flecked irises that shimmer faintly under moonlight. it’s said those children can see glimpses of what hides behind the veil— ghosts, forgotten gods, or shadows that never left.

• they’re the ones who leave offerings at the edges of the woods for gods most campers have forgotten.

• they despise apollo cabin on principle— too bright, too loud— but they’ll begrudgingly ask them for healing salves when no one’s looking.

• they’re the ones who remind you that the dark isn’t something to fear— it’s something to trust.

cabin exterior

• the cabin’s structure is built of stygian iron, but the surface constantly shifts, like the cabin is wrapped in shadows that are alive. there’s an eerie sense of movement, like the walls are breathing or undulating, especially at night.

• at the entrance, there is a thin veil of mist that surrounds the doorway, almost like a curtain of night. when you step through it, the temperature drops slightly, as if you’ve crossed into a different realm where time feels a little more… fluid.

• around the cabin, they have a garden that consists of thorny, black roses that bloom only at night. the vines twist and curl up the sides of the cabin in a creeping, almost hypnotic way. these would be the kind of flowers that only bloom under moonlight or during the hours between dusk and dawn.

• the roof is made of some dark, glass-like material that, when you look up, seems to reflect the night sky. the stars would always look a little different, almost like they’re shifting or flickering, never exactly the same from one moment to the next.

• there's a strange silence around the nyx cabin— like the night itself has muted the sound. even with the rest of camp bustling with activity, the area around the nyx cabin is strangely quiet, except for the faint rustling of leaves or the occasional whisper of wind that sounds almost like voices.

cabin interior

• the interior is dim, lit only by a soft, silvery glow that feels like it's coming from nowhere in particular. there are no actual lights; it’s as if the cabin is always bathed in the soft, gentle light of the moon, regardless of the time of day. the effect would feel almost dreamlike, as if the entire cabin exists in a perpetual state of twilight.

• the walls are draped in thick, velvet-like fabric, in deep midnight blues, purples, and blacks. the fabric shimmers slightly as if it’s woven from the very fabric of night itself, and every now and then, you can see the faintest flicker of starlight along the seams.

• furniture in the cabin float and hover slightly off the ground, giving the whole space an ethereal, otherworldly feel. chairs, tables, and even books gently levitate, swirling around in a slow, calming rotation like they're part of the night’s rhythm. the sense of weightlessness adds to the feeling that the cabin is detached from reality.

• the furniture itself is dark and sleek, crafted from materials like obsidian or black marble, but there is an otherworldly shimmer to them.

• the edges of tables and chairs look as though they’ve been etched with starlight or have faint lunar patterns carved into them. soft, plush cushions or throws are in shades of silvery-gray, moonlight blue, and shadowy black.

• instead of a traditional fireplace, the nyx cabin have a blackstone firepit. the flames are an eerie, pale blue or violet, and instead of the usual warmth, they’d have a cool, calming effect. sometimes, the fire seems to flicker with dark images— visions of the night sky, ancient battles, or even distant memories.

• instead of regular beds, the nyx cabin have sleep pods— dark, semi-enclosed spaces where campers can curl up in the softest, cloud-like bedding that seems to sink into the ground.

• these sleep pods feel more like personal sanctuaries, where campers are embraced by darkness in the most comforting way, almost like entering a dream. each pod has its own subtle charm: a cool breeze of night air, the sound of distant wolves howling, or the sensation of weightlessness.

cabin traditions

• new campers are welcomed with a special ceremony on their first night. they’re led to the cabin’s small courtyard where the older campers create a circle of greek fire— blue and purple flames flickering in the shadows.

• the new camper is asked to share their greatest fear or secret under the cover of night, then watch as it’s symbolically burned in the flames.

• on nights of the new moon, the cabin organizes stealth-based games in the woods— a mix between capture the flag and hide-and-seek— where the goal is to outlast the others in the dark. the children of the night are nearly impossible to spot, making this tradition almost always rigged in their favor.

• every year on the winter solstice, the entire cabin hikes out to the highest hill at camp half-blood. they lie on their backs in the freezing grass and name constellations until dawn.

• but the thing is… they don’t name the constellations you can find in books. they name the ones that don’t have names. the ones that only appear to those who know where to look.

KINGSGLAIVE

[fire-of-the-sun]

Did the fandom ever decide what the names of Noctis and Luna's children should be? Is there a general consensus? I'm relatively new here so I haven't seen much.

My first thought for their daughter would be Stella - an obvious homage to the scrapped character but also a fitting continuation of the 'night' theme of the family. If your father's name means 'night' and your mother's means 'moon', then 'star' feels pretty appropriate. I can just see her being the light of Noctis and Luna's world and both affectionately calling her their 'little star'.

I believe I've also seen the name Dawn pop up and think that would be very pretty and symbolic as well - a constant reminder of the future they were fighting for and the reward of success that their child epitomizes. That being said, Dawn isn't Latin and would instead translate to Aurora, which is a beautiful name and sounds similar to Aulea, Noctis' mother. They could also consider Sylva after Luna's mother as well, which also sounds similar to Stella.

For their son, I actually feel Nyx could be viable. Not only is it still a direct reference to Noctis, as Nyx also means 'night', it could also act as a way to honor the man that sacrificed himself to help protect Luna and the city. Though she barely knew him, Luna may feel obliged to honor him in this way and Noctis could also want to show his eternal gratitude to the glaive who helped safeguard his beloved wife. That being said, there are other men in their lives they knew infinitely better and would most likely be considered more deserving of a namesake such as Regis or Ravus.

Anyway, I can't believe the Lunoct babies were taken from us. I would have absolutely melted at the sight of Noctis and Luna being parents and it would have been really cool to see a Final Fantasy protagonist not only age up so significantly, but also (semi-canonically) get married and have children as I don't believe this has been done before in the franchise?

Some silly Kingsglaive stuff to start the new year!

[thatbloodycountess]

I know it’s been six years, and the fandom is mostly dead, but I’ve been thinking about FFXV lately. The story was great and I loved the characters, but there were holes in the plot and with character development. I get that the developers had an idea story-wise and made significant changes once Tabata took over. Even after six years, I can still see what was left on the table and I have some ideas on how to remedy these issues.

I loved the beginning where the Regalia broke down. But, the game could’ve started a day or two before the boys left Insomnia. We could’ve had some time with Regis and Clarus and get an idea how them and the boys felt about the journey.

They could’ve added the events from Kingsglaive to the game itself. I’m sure not everyone saw the movie and it would’ve been awesome to play as Nyx. This would’ve lengthened the first chapter too.

The DLCs could’ve been weaved into the main game. The Trails of Cold Steel series did a good job of diverging storylines. Events in these storylines were happening simultaneously and added impact to those plot points. It would’ve been easy to switch to Gladio once Noctis found the mythril, considering both events were happening at the same time.

The same goes for Episodes Ignis and Prompto. Ignis’ DLC could pick up immediately during the chaos in Altissia. The latter could’ve been placed after Prompto fell off the train and ended when he was captured by Ardyn. Or if his memories were being manipulated, when the player sees him strung up on that contraption in Gralea.

SE missed an opportunity to continue the story during the ten years of darkness. That chapter could’ve opened with the beginning of Ardyn’s story and spaced it out a bit until the DLC’s conclusion. Luna and Aranea’s DLCs could kick in here too, considering both would’ve fleshed the story out more. Then bring in Episode Noctis and perhaps have a FFVII lifestream moment as he obtains the knowledge of the Lucian kings.

I’ve read that the ending in Dawn of the Future isn’t canon. It’s an alternative ending like Ignis being healed by the crystal in his DLC. However, it could’ve been just as impactful as the canon ending. Since it makes Bahamut the villain and uses the trope that humans can become stronger than gods. It’s a similar situation Yuna faced in FFX, but she got to challenge her fate. Noctis didn’t.

The chapters were too short for my liking and there should’ve been more foreshadowing about Prompto’s origins other than Aranea’s comment outside of Steyliff Grove. Noctis didn’t find out that he has to sacrifice himself until he was absorbed into the crystal. He accepted his fate too easily. There was no point where he became angry over it or wonder if Regis or Luna knew what his fate would be. Again, he didn’t get the chance to tell Bahamut to go fuck himself.

The game is one of my favorites in the series and always will be. But there were so many missed opportunities and it makes me wonder what could’ve been.

Broad-winged Nyx, you clasp the hand of bright Hemera, each eve and morn, you greet her with love and sorrow for only in those moments may you embrace your child. Goddess, awesome one, in your realm are we all unblemished, in your realm do lovers’ promises ring true, in your realm are all things possible, if only until daybreak. Nyx, I honor you.

Small prayer 

“Nyx, mother of the night, mother of sleep, mother of death: Might your darkness embrace me Might your energy caress me Might you be mine and Might I be yours Blessed be.“

In general 

O ancient Goddess, born of Chaos and steeped in shadow, I honor you now and always. With eyes which have watched the beginnings of all that is, see us now embracing your sleep and mystery. With power that strikes fear into the hearts of the most revered of Gods,

I remember your strength when I am searching for my own. In the starless night where light shines not i will give my thanks to your Greatness, And surrender to the dark.

I was rewatching Kingsglaive again and I really wish there was a special FFXV edition that came with that movie. It's just so perfect and helps give so much context to what we see main game.

One of the parts that hit the hardest though was when Regis, Luna and Nyx are running and Regis lets go of Luna's hand. That perfect moment of him stopping and accepting his fate, knowing he has to stay is so very similar to what happened when Regis was escaping with little Noctis and young Luna.

It was just so beautifully done.
