I believe in final fantasy men supremacy
“humans are such fragile things, Aren’t they? And when they’re naked like this, it makes them so uncomfortable. They’re overcome with the urge to cover themselves with the miracle of clothing. That is instinct my darling.”-- Ardyn Kiriyuin.
Bonus:
yes i know im trash
“You should’ve stayed Somnus Parthenos!”
“I would have had you not gallivanted across Eos instead of ruling the people!”
“I was healing the sick! I was fulfilling my Astral-given duty!”
“No, you were meant to be king, but that title came with the burden of having to make choices, and you chose to use your gift to run away while I dealt with the consequences.”
“As if you were extending your hand across the table!”
“Numerous times I beseeched you to coordinate with me and devise a more effective method of containing the Starscourge, but Elder Brother always knew better, didn’t he?”
— Ardyn vs. Somnus, the confrontation in modern Insomnia
In an omegaverse where omegas who took up arms divorced themselves from their families and swore an oath of celibacy—think of it as “taking the black” in Game of Thrones—they were styled with the epithet Parthenos. Somnus was a prominent example.
Envious of his alpha brother’s popularity but acknowledging of his scant chance of ever ascending as the Chosen King, he became Somnus Parthenos and fought on the frontlines against the mounting daemons. However, Ardyn made himself scarce when it came to leading Eos and left Somnus to do it on his behalf. It was frustrating, and while Somnus admitted that Ardyn’s cleansing method was ideal, it barely dent the number of daemons plaguing the land.
At some point, he couldn’t give Ardyn anymore time. Resources were drying up, and the restlessness amongst the people was mounting; so, he dirtied his hands with the burnt flesh of the suspicious and afflicted. Their deaths haunted him, but it was proving more effective than his brother’s slow one-by-one process; thus, he steeled his resolve. That was what it meant to be a king.
When Aera disclosed to him that Ardyn was chosen by the Astrals, his resentment reached a boiling point, and as per canonical events, he challenged his brother for the throne, donning the Lucis Caelum name once again. He harbored no intent to kill Ardyn, but he became so enveloped in his fury that he hadn’t realized he was about to land a fatal blow until Aera threw herself between them. Horrified, Somnus dropped his weapons but had to re-summon them all too soon as Ardyn transformed into a daemon unlike any other. With an apology stuck in his throat, he defeated his brother and locked him away on Angelgard.
Following his ascension as king and founder of Lucis, Somnus chose black as the royal color to perpetually mourn Ardyn’s fate, and Ardyn Lucis Caelum was written into Lucian history. However, textbooks are missing his transformation into a daemon and subsequent imprisonment, and instead, they say the founder king’s brother fell to the Starscourge. Ardyn supposes it’s a partial truth, but partial is still only partial.
FFXV characters as incorrect quotes:
Noctis: Not trying to brag or anything, but I can wake up without an alarm clock now simply due to my crippling and overwhelming anxiety, so...
Regis: Well, well, well... if it isn’t my old friend: the dawning realization that I fucked up bad.
Prompto: Physically, yes, I could fight a bird. But emotionally? Imagine the toll.
Ignis: I was born for politics. I have great hair and I love lying.
Gladiolus: I’m sick and tired of being called 'mortal.' You don’t know that. Neither do I. I have never died even ONCE. Nothing has been proven yet. Stop making assumptions. It’s rude.
Iris, motioning to a Halloween display: All these ghosts! All these ghosts! I still can’t find a boo.
Lunafreya: You’ll have a hard time believing this because it never happens, but I made a mistake.
Cindy: If ya can’t beat ’em, dress better than ’em
Cid: I’ve come to a point in my life where I need a stronger word than fuck
Aranea: Some of you may die, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.
Cor: What doesn't kill me should run, because now I'm fucking pissed.
Ardyn: You seem familiar, have I threatened you before?
Ravus: Fool me once, I’m gonna kill you
Bonus- the Astrals:
them: I’d like to offer you moral support, but I have questionable morals.
These are all legit.

Final Fantasy XV × Howl's Moving Castle - Ardyn Izunia
Wahaha! Here you go, Nay!
This picture is based off of a scene from the roleplay @naptimes-bestfriend and I are doing. Her OC Aella is hugging Ardyn to comfort him during a simultaneous attack of angst and Starscourge.
A3... but it's Ardyn. I wonder what went wrong.
He has...seen things...
Have a silly comic about a man who dresses like an onion.
ardyn. the stinky.
Here's the stinky, with a bonus Mrs. Stinky!
You know what time it is? References-less Ardaella. You know the ship.
Indeed I do! >:3
I think it turned out pretty nice! Let's check the real versions:
Hmmm, well, Aella doesn't look much like the ref, but I think I got her general idea across. :) Ardyn looks like a simplistic version of himself, so I'm going to call that a win.
Thanks for the ask! <3
So, I'm writing a fic bc I read a fic and now I'm having THOUGHTS.
So. We fuck with the time table. Instead of Noctis being 10yo, Ignis being 12, Luna 14, and Ravus 17 (how old I normally hc them to be for the attack), they're about 2 years younger (Ravus is 16 but only has been for like 3 weeks). Noctis and Regis went to Tenebrea with Claruas, Ignis' uncle, and Ignis because they thought it would be a good idea for Noctis and Luna to get to know each other. Obviously this falls to shit and the Empire attacks. However, the kids make it out and Queen Sylva doesn't die. I have an oc (her name is Kendra and ill explain her more at the end) who ends up going with the kids because she's friends with Ravus. The kids end up going to Galahd to hide, and of course change their names.
So now Ravus is 'Ralin' but not really because they chose that sense it shortens to Rae, and that's Luna's nickname for him. Kendra just shortens it to Ken. Luna's now Lily. Ignis is Edward because Eddy sounds like Iggy. Noctis is Nathin because Nat sounds like Noct.
So they end up in Galahd, which is mostly open to the Tenebrain refugees, so long as they contribute in some way. They don't really need to worry about money because due to the war the government has all the money, and people just use trade. The kids end up on the largest island (will use map we see in ep. Ardyn and put screenshots at end), and they wander around for a few days before Ravus finds somewhere for them to stay. This is a slightly rundown inn with 5 floors and a basement, each floor has two apartments.
They are on the second room on the second floor. This inn is run by a woman, Miss Erica, and rather than paying rent they just kinda work for her. So she'll send Ravus out of run errands and teaches Kendra to cook. Because she is teaching them how to cook and clean. She also has a school on the top floor.
Their version of school is set up different and I will explain that in another post, but they all have to go to school at different times of day.
Nyx and his family also live here. Nyx ends up becoming friends with Ravus. Nyx's mom helps watch Luna, Ignis, and Noctis. And everything is good for about 2 years, then the Empire attacks again. Ravus protects Nyx's sister and motjer, and losses his left hand and about half of his left forearm. Kendra was hiding in the inn's basement like she was meant to be doing. Ignis and Noctis were out in a field not to far away and get attacked by a Maralith (giant 6armed sword welding snake lady). Ignis dies, but Noct doesn't know that so he accidentally brings him back to life. Iggy is now blind. Noctis has about the same ingury that would have sent him to Tenebrae in canon. Luna panics and ACCIDENTALLY SUMMONS A GODDESS.
She's also an oc, Ifrit's younger twin, goddess of molten rock. Her name is Agyua. She puts everyone in a pocket dimention of sorts, and kicks the Empire the fuck out of there. She did not send Luna away, and sort of goes through Luna's head to figure out where to put people when she puts them back. Like putting Ravus, Ignis, and Noctis in the hospital. Luna passes out, ends up in a coma to regain her strength. Same with Noct. Kendra has to help with cleanup, and Ravus and Ignis help each other relearn how to walk. (Ravus doesn't get a prosthetic for a few more years because unlike most healthcare in Galahd those aren't free.)
Now Agyua gives Galahd's solders and medics her blessing, and now you have the Glaive only not loyal to Lucis. These abilities do change a bit based on where you're from, like Tenebrain's are very good healers.
About now Sylva makes a deal with another oc, Miyako, goddess of the dead, and also Ardyn. Miyako was imprisoned by Bahumut and whipped from history, and is pissed at him. Cor also adopts Prompto around now. Kendra joins the hunters.
Another four years Regis still hasn't been able to track down Noct, and make Cor the heir. Regis keeps a group to secretly look for Noct (Gladio, Aranea, Cor, eventually Iris) Prompto has been online buddies with Noct for a while now, figures out who and where he is, and tells Cor. Cor sends him with Gladio, Aranea, and Iris to go get him. He's not home when they get there but Luna is, and she thinks them sus so she stalls until Noct does get home. Noct knows Prom, nobody else. And trusts Prom, but nobody else. Hence more stalling until Ravus can get beck, because he's been in charge from day one, Ignis isn't n town today and neither is Kendra.
Ravus has Prompto call Cor to better explain the situation, basically goes 'I'm not dragging us over that hell hole of a war zone to get to Insomnia' and now Gladio is mad at Ravus because Cor put Ravus in charge and Glado was supposed to be. Another year, and Miyako uses an army of dragon ghosts to drive the Empire out of Tenebrae. Miyako and Agyua are dating and have Tenenbrae and Galahd make an allince. Somewhere in there Ravus and Ignis get together. Also almost all of them end up fighting on the front lines at least once. Luna and Ravus (bc he also can heal screw u) fix up Noct and Iggy so Iggy can see in one eye and Noct's only issue is he now accidently shares him magic with Ignis in ways he's not supposed to be able to. Libertus and Crowe move in down the street, become friends with them.
Ardyn kidnaps Sol, kills her dad who was the heir the nif throne, and gives her to Sylva because that man doesn't know how babies work. Now the Empire is starting to self destruct.
Two years later, and our group gets to go to Insomnia. (Also Noct and Luna are a thing now.) They tell a few people about who they actually were, and Nyx is flabbergasted lol. After a bit Luna and Ravus have to go home, which isn't fun because by now they all have some level of seperation angxity and codependency issues (pls ignore bad spelling).
They figure out the whole Prophcey, go f*ck Bahumut, fight him with Agyua and Miyako, win, and Ardyn ends up ruling Lucis with Area after Miyako brings her back form the dead, while Noct and Luna get married and run Tenebrae. happy ending but Nyx dies only to come back during fighting god. so. just don't always trust that the dead are really dead.
Anyways! Kendra! She's 15 at the start, has long brown hair she likes to dye random colors, is pretty smart, and strong, basically the dad friend while Ravus is the mom friend. Also sarcasm.
Map screenshots! 1. what gods rule where, 2. map of Galahd as best i could, 3. Altissia, 4. Insomina in the light and the rest of Lucis, 5. the weird cost above nif is tenebrae, 6. full world map, 7. the other islands above tenebrae are where demons first popped up & are uninhabited, 8. nifelheim.
I forgot to mention but Prompto makes Ravus' prosthetic

Trashing Insomnia with Ardyn was so much fun. Destroying all the decorations, dropping the shield down and summoning Ifrit. And Ardyn's speeches? Yup, I am here for it! Also that music was lit! ( Although I felt so sorry for the royal guard :( ) And kicking Regis butt, ouu yeah baby! For that I am not sorry. ... Am i little bit twisted? Maybe it was payback for all the refugees (Kingsglaive) that was would be mistreated?
Verstael: Okay, so we’ve agreed on what you’re going to do in the city correct?
Ardyn: Yep
Verstael: And there will be no sudden changes in plans and you will listen when I call you off?
Ardyn: Sure.
Verstael: Okay good so now- WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
Ardyn: Oh I’m sorry were you talking? I’m very busy going to commit regicide
AU! Lost heritage part. 1
- Aera and Ardyn had a child (his name was Cadfael), not even Somnus knew about him
- due intervention of Bahamut, Ardyn still was trapped at Angelgard as Adagium and Aera died
- their son was raised in secrecy by their most trusted friend, who lived in place which would be a future Tenebrae
- so it´s placed in the modern day era of Eos around the time of Ardyn DLC when he´s going to Insomnia kill Regis
- there are descendants of those two - Miriam and her younger sister Brienne (both of them came from Tenebrae)
- Both have a magical aptitude, Bri just showed it much sooner
- Both sisters lives together in small flat in Lower Insomnia (Little Galadh)
- Obviously hiding their magic, because whoever showes inclination to it is tested for Royal Guards ( future Kingsglaive), and Miri doesn´t want to risk their lives for someone who doesn´t care. Also the training is brutal, it´s not uncommon that recruits often die.
- Miriam fully activated her powers when she healed Bri´s injuries from school (bullies, obvi)
- Ardyn accidentaly discovered them when he was trashing Insomnia (call it six sense or whatever)
- is intrigued by them, and stayed in Insomnia for some time (definitively went to Miriam´s job)
- befriends Bri, she started call him uncle Ardy after he helped her teach lesson to her bullies
- when Miri discovered that Ardyn went after her sister, she called him pervert and wanted to maul him
- driven by emotions it made her magic hayware and Crystal of Lucis started reacting (that´s how Regis figured out something is amiss and sends out remaining Royal Guards)
- Ardyn took both girls to safety and shared memories with them, because he wanted them to understand
FFXV and Assassin´s Creed AU
This AU is for @versusthirteen. Don´t worry, I will write the bickering fic just need some time (lot of time, because the other asks that I need to post first). But instead have some of my quick headcanons when the two worlds collide :) (I have some more, If you wanted?)
--
Due to Isu and Astrals shenaningas Noctis with boys ended in other dimension. With their luck, in middle of assault on the assassins. Noctis uses his powers which reacts even more violently in this world. “ Who the hell are you, dudes?” said man with white hood, while covering. “Well, I am -” Gladio turns his head “ Less talking Noct, more fighting.” Desmond and others took boys with them to their hideout, even if Lucy and Shaun were mistrusting at first.
- there is so many questions about their origin and powers, it was intimidating
- Noct showed them his arminger “ That is remarkable! Becca, do you think we could replicate something like that?” “ Shaun, I am tech not a damn magician.” “ But with the right equiptment and Isu artefact, it could be possible, no?” Lucy said thoughtfully.
- Ignis ultimately wins them with his cooking. “ Pardon me, but you can´t seriously eat fast food all the time, right?” Becca repairing computer answered. “ Not all the time, we also have some energy bars.” Needless to say, Ignis was horrified. He prepared for all of them 5 course meal. “Ignis, you are the best cook ever, aren´t you in need for a wife?” “ Or husband, If you swing that way.”
- Ignis and Shaun bicker with each other like a married couple. They even had a three hour debate about “Why is tea better than your stinky muddy coffee, Scientia.” “ I would rather drink mine than your tasteless dry leafes with hot water, Hastings.” IT.WAS.SCARY.
- Desmond thinks of Noctis and Prompto as younger brothers that he never had, of course they are his partners in crime (Wish he could intruduce them to Clay, who would also loved them)
- Lucy shares with them the three tenets of assassins: Stay one's blade from the flesh of the innocent; draw not attention to oneself whenever possible; and never compromise the brotherhood. “In other words” Des joined in the conversation,” don´t stabby stab wrong people, be good at hide and seek and bros before corruption.”
- “ Hey, Becca, Des wanna hear a joke?” “ Sure, sunshine.” “ Hit us with it, Prompt.” “ Okie dokie, do you know without what you can´t spell assassin? “ Lucy, Shaun, Ignis and Gladio side-eyeing him. “Without what Prompt?” inquired Noct. “ Obviously, without ass, sass and sin.” “ And I have all of it!” exclaimed Des. “ Desmond, bloody hell!”
- Rebecca shows boys her “Baby”, which are impressed with her skills. Prompto is allowed to help her.
- Gladio is jogging every morning with the girls. He´s being very supportive and shares fitness tips
- But boys weren´t the only one, who was accidentaly send to this dimension ...
“Oh, well hello there, young man! What a nice abodement you have here.”
Daniel is shocked and pulls out a gun. “ Who the fuck are you!?” The man before him looked so real, was the Bleeding effect kicking in again?
“Now now, young man. Why such animosity? I believe we can fix each other problems.”
Daniel´s eyebrow quirks. “ What problem?” “ Oh, isn´t that obvious? You´re looking for some trouble maker named Desmond, correct? I can help you find him, but I also want something in return. A little service of gratitude, so to speak.”
Daniel studied the man´s face. He didn´t trust him, but he would lie if he said he wasn´t intrigued. “For the record, I don´t trust you. But I am kinda impressed you´ve got through our security.” which would be fired, when he wraps it up here, “ but I am not the one who you should ask for favour, If if it turns out that you are valuable asset.”
“ Oh my, so guarded. But believe me, you´re not gonna regret it.”
The man smiled creepily. Daniel shivered at that. He had unshaky feeling that he just get into some clusterfuck.
The man tips his hat.“ Oh, but where are my manners! Let me introduce to you, my name is Ardyn Izunia.”
Please, read this in Ardyn´s voice. It gets much better XD
Ardyn Izunia + TV Tropes
All was going according to plan for him.
