Hey everyone I just wanted to warn you all about a scam thats going around. Please spread this post around!

If you're into perfumes and come across a website called Luxurytxt don't buy from them. They have lattaffa perfumes on their website but they're scammers and they'll only send you a Thank You card in the mail. Not your order.

Found out this has happened to a few people so I thought I'd give you all a warning about it.

Please repost this to let others know so they don't get scammed.

stubborn hcs for the bros' attire

1. prompto goes sleeveless by default, because he's genetically more resilient to the cold.

2. gladio doesn't wear a shirt by default because his eagle tattoo is still fresh. the skin needs to be aired, and raw bits of flesh stick to cloth.

it's a magical tattoo - perhaps the ink is made of modified daemon blood? - so that it can withstand most wounds and scrapes, and being pushed off the skin by repeated healing from potions and magical treatment. future shields get their tattoos early because it literally takes ages - sometimes years - for the ink to set and the skin to fully heal.

fortunately, his magically protective crownsguard jacket is bloodproof.

3. ignis thinks he wears spectacles mainly for cosmetic reasons - because he wants to look authoritative.

but the truth is, he spent his childhood looking up at the mural of the prophecy, and inexplicably identifying with (and at the same time fearing) the blind man with the king of light.

(^ the hall of history, as screencapped in the game)

(^ the completed genesis painting)

he's long forgotten being compelled by the mural as a child, so he won't be able to admit to this.

however, if you ask him what his ONE FEAR is, and once he's comfortable with confessing it, he'll say that it's blindness, or losing ANY clarity of sight.

...and i got nothing for noct rn, but i'll reblog this post with that detail once i have it.

chapter 13, verse 2 — ignis being concerned for noctis.

reblogging again with these amazing tags from @noctgars :

because yes, i think about it all the time

teaching a six year old that their only purpose is to serve and care for another child is wrong, Ignis was treated unfairly and with no regard to how that “job” would mentally and emotionally affect him, considering he had no choice but to grow up shaping himself to fulfill it

he needed a LOT of support and probably a LOT of therapy in the aftermath of the game, and we never got to see him get it

simplestardust

exactly this! i mean, when other kids were being taught ‘sharing your toys is good’, ignis had been taught to more than ‘share his toys’ - he’d been taught to give up basically his entire existence to this other, younger child. how do you even go about rationalising this to a child? and ignis just. accepts it. embraces it. absorbs this new identity of ‘noctis’ assistant’ into his very soul.

we don’t see how he initially dealt with this in the early days, or if he ever struggled, but the ignis we see in the game never once complains. everything he does is for noct, and that’s his sole priority. something that really strikes me is that tabata says ignis doesn’t even really like cooking all that much, he just saw it as a ‘duty to fulfil’ and he learned to be good at it for noct, and now it’s become a huge part of ignis’ identity. a prime example is in brotherhood that see how dedicated to it he is to trying to recreate that dessert for noct from tenebrae. he’s been trying for ten years. for one meal.

so yeah, as you say, all of this is with no consideration - even from himself - for his own wellbeing. i do wish we’d learned more about his time when noct was in the crystal. but yeah, how will he cope after noct - the point his entire life revolves around - is gone? it’ll be some journey for ignis to figure out who he is, what he likes and dislikes. will he be able to think of himself after all that?

this. all of this. and, bringing the original Japanese script into things:

…not only does Ignis never complain, but he is extremely apologetic, almost as if he’s specifically trained himself to respond that way. it’s second nature for him to put others, especially Noctis, first. and, for all of this, after Ignis’ sacrifice…

…Noctis is FAR less empathetic than he is in the localization. if you listen to the original Japanese audio, Noctis actually yells at him here. and Ignis just…takes it.

Ignis’ entire life is about how he can best serve Noctis, regardless of how Noctis treats him, or how much of himself he has to sacrifice. and it’s genuinely painful when you consider that, as a six year old child who was put in that position, Ignis never had a chance to be anything else.

reblogging this to the right sideblog this time lmao

this is a very important point - apologising that much for things that aren’t someone’s fault is often due to one of two things: either it’s an automatic trained response, or it’s due to insecurity. with ignis in the original japanese script, it seems like it’s a mixture of the two. if the person his entire existence revolves around says or implies that he’s not satisfied or that ignis has done something wrong, then that goes from feeling like an ‘oops’ moment to a fundamental failure. what noct says, is what has to be. noct doesn’t like something, however minor, then it has to change. and that’s no way to live.

and the thing is, noct just accepts it as well, because to him, this is just how ignis is - this is the ignis he met and the way ignis has always treated him. i do wonder how noct would’ve reacted to ignis losing his eyesight if it hadn’t happened at the same time as when noct was grieving luna. would he have been more empathetic?

and as you say - ignis must do this regardless of how he’s treated. it’s honestly a godsend that they do get on, because if they didn’t, ignis would have to do exactly the same but it’d just be much worse for him.

‘he never had the chance to be anything else’. exactly this. the thing is, would this ignis even see anything he does as a sacrifice? he’s been raised so much to not think of himself, that i don’t think he’s even capable of it.

Ignis’s profile from the official strategy guide. N’aw!

wait are you fucking kidding me rn

honestly, i have my gripes about the character and this is all 99 reasons. ignis is constantly doing stuff he actually doesn’t really want to, just because it’s a duty and because he’s been taught to be diligent and proper. he’s been given into noctis’ service as a minor and it wasn’t simply as a friend, it was already to prepare him for his future job in which he had no say in and to be his caretaker. none of this is cute. the labour ignis had to take on is nothing short of child abuse and emotional manipulation - not even once will i think anyone went to tell him he could choose any of his life himself.

i honestly think ignis likes noct as a friend, that’s basically the blackmail his elders put on him; but all of what he does is a duty. ignis isn’t clean and proper and always doing chores bc he wants to, but because this is all he knows.

that’s why i don’t like the character and never will. what they did there is terrifying and too many people claim it’s cute.

Some of you may be wondering where Noctis is in my game, since I haven't posted any screenshots of our dearly beloved protagonist, but rest assured that he is safe 😊 swimming along peacefully in the sky menu ❤️😊🦋 yay
