Zuko Is A Monster And I Love Him.

I've just come across the notes I made on the Final Fantasy XV boys when I first started playing the game and wanted to explain it to [archiveofourown.org profile] th_esaurus! I don't think I ever posted these here.

- Noctis, the prince. Gets prickly and defensive if you try to discuss anything of actual importance with him, because he hates thinking about things that matter (this is a pretty relatable quality, to be honest, but perhaps not a great one in a future ruler). His dearest ambition is to sleep for eighteen hours a day and eat nothing but burgers.

- Gladiolus, Noctis's bodyguard. Insists on having at least 50% of his upper body exposed at all times; if you choose not to have him in the outfit where he's got his jacket open, baring his chest, he'll switch to a tank top, baring his enormous muscular arms. He's generally pretty chill, but he got really pissed off with me when I drew my weapon carelessly (I was too close to Prompto and could have injured him). He has definitely fucked Noctis raw.

- Prompto, Noctis's schoolfriend. Inexperienced but enthusiastic. Admires all the others. Very much in love with Noctis, but hasn't realised yet because he thinks he's straight. At some point, Ignis is going to observe that there seems to be a theme developing in Prompto's photography, and Prompto is going to look at all his hundreds of photographs of Noctis and have an 'oh, my God' revelation.

- Ignis, raised from childhood to be Noctis's adviser. Detached, practical, speaks with a dodgy RP accent. Mothers everyone, but somehow it's creepy. At some point, I am convinced, Ignis murdered a man for no particular reason. Ignis was wearing an elegant suit and gloves. He looked deep into his victim's eyes as he choked the life out of him, and he felt nothing.


To be honest, these first impressions hold up pretty well, although I hadn't yet come to understand the depth of Prompto's insecurity and Ignis's loyalty. I still feel there's a good chance that Ignis is a murderer.

What good boys. What a great game.


If anyone was wondering, Dipper and Zuko seem to be getting along pretty well:




Zuko likes to cuddle up with you and purr and then zoom all over the house and knock every object that has the audacity to be on a table onto the floor. It's very strange that Dipper, Destroyer of Shoelaces is now the mature, responsible one.

Aw!

Okay, that made me laugh

I had more reactions, but hit post too soon, so I'll just say I was just thinking about Zuko and wondering what he was doing!
