[walks in, twirling hair] sooo... AU where Artoirel is chosen to become one of the Knights of the Round? :) [I am immediately dunked into the nearest trashcan]

#tbd.#soooo... plot where he survives after the dragonsong war but has to stay imprisoned because hes still tempered by king thordan? :)#[the trashcan is deposited into the nearest garbage truck]

One day I'll sit and finally draw a comic for that idea rattling in my brain about Stephanivien and Artoirel bonding together in Garlemald

#tbd.#endwalker spoilers /#not even for ship content i just think they could chat about a lot together #like how much artoirel has changed and how much ishgard has changed and being the eldest son of one of the four houses #they could talk about so much!!!!#god. i cry about the wasted potential of not sending artoirel to ilsabard every day #but you know what they say. if no one will feed you then make your own food

hi guys, i'm opening up some emergency commissions for my best friend @ritterblood. her cat, lime, is having some pretty severe medical issues that are pretty pricey, so i'm going ahead and putting a post out here asking for you to donate to her paypal ([email protected]) and if you provide a receipt that matches her transactions i will create a graphic or anything you need really to match with the donation given. it does not need to be just graphics alone, but i can also take gposes of your characters or large batches of screenshots for icons in ffxiv, provided you give me your chara.info file & mods associated with them (or i can meet you in game to grab them). icon batches must be 30USD and gposes can be anywhere from 5-10USD per image, based entirely on the complexity of what you want. examples of my work can be found here . pinned posts / headers , tumblr profile icon , other various graphics , gposes

Also would love a dynamic where someone always addresses Artoirel as "Arty," especially because they know it annoys him to no end

You get two because I love them a lot.

First, on music: I'm sure Haurchefant has to be at least vaguely aware that Artoirel is fond of instruments, and might have heard Artoirel playing at some point in their mansion. As they mend their bond and Haurchefant prods Artoirel to share more of his interests with him, I can see it eventually turning into Artoirel teaching Haurchefant a few things, like basic concepts in music theory, and maybe a few light lessons on playing the piano. As Artoirel opens up more to his brother, he will also share his thoughts on pieces from a composer's perspective, and that's when Haurchefant will find that Artoirel is absolutely a music snob. Artoirel will ordinarily withhold most of his opinions about pieces as not to be rude, but he'll say everything on his mind when he's alone with Haurchefant, and once he gets started, he gets going. It's probably hard to understand him at times with all the jargon he uses, even with the basic music theory Artoirel has taught him, but I'm sure Haurchefant loves the energy and appreciates seeing such an animated side to his otherwise reserved brother.

Second: As Artoirel defrosts around the WoL, one of the little bits of dialogue you can get from him is about how he actually finds flying on chocoboback quite exhilarating, so they could probably bond over that shared appreciation of chocobo riding. Now, being the highly dutiful son of House Fortemps he is, Artoirel doesn't normally allow himself to let loose that often, but that also means his excitement will be that much harder to contain. He'll find that his expressions are much harder to control, but he probably gives up on trying to keep up airs pretty early on and starts openly beaming and laughing and just having fun with his brother.

Lex sometimes brings the orchestrion rolls he finds ( or restores, if he's found the faded copy instead ) to Artoirel as a gift, and every single time, Artoirel very badly conceals how excited he is about it. He practically beams and his eyes grow wide with emotion, and though he does compose himself to calmly thank Lex for the thoughtful present, he practically skips away when he goes to add it to his collection.

Ishgardian nobles don't necessarily communicate the way ordinary people do. Their society is one with strict rules about proper decorum, so certain feelings, ideas, and messages that would be considered too improper to speak aloud need to be communicated in other ways. In gifts, in gestures, but also in flowers.

Artoirel, who has been raised to thrive in Ishgard's high society, is well acquainted with the language of flowers, and has been taught to understand the meanings of individual flowers and bouquets both. I can see him maybe eventually teaching Iriste a few things he knows about flowers later down the line, whether it's to help her arrange a meaningful bouquet, or keep her informed so she doesn't accidentally insult someone.

Of course Artoirel is overjoyed when Amaya asks him if he could teach them how to play chess, but I'd like to think that he doesn't exactly teach them well at first. This isn't because he hates them or wants to keep his knowledge to himself-- quite the opposite in fact, since it's been some time since he's had someone he could play with regularly, and he'd like them to keep their interest in the game if possible. However, in the past, Artoirel's been teased about being scary, due to his more sharp, severe looks, and his strict, icy disposition. He doesn't want to make Amaya feel intimidated in the same way, so he tries taking a more lax approach to teaching them at first. While chess has a low level of entry, it can involve a lot of complexity, and he wanted to ease them into it slowly so as not to make them feel overwhelmed.

This approach, while considerate, ends up causing a few problems. Amaya ends up ill-equipped with ideas for how to move, and that leads them to become frustrated. While Artoirel isn't playing completely ruthlessly against them, he still makes them feel like they're making their moves in reaction to Artoirel's. Eventually it makes them decide that in their next game, they want to swap those roles and make Artoirel be the one to play defensively. The game starts, with Amaya on white. First move: white pawn to G4. Artoirel moves his black pawn to E5. Then a different white pawn is played to F3, opening up the field to develop Amaya's bishop. Unfortunately, this also completely leaves their king wide open. With his brows furrowed in confusion, Artoirel moves his black queen to H4. A checkmate in 2 moves.

It's when Artoirel sees Amaya's completely dejected expression that he has failed to teach them adequately. Thus, rather than make any comments on how Amaya played, the first words out of his mouth are an apology, an and admittance that while he is a good commander, teaching is a bit out of his ballpark. He tells them that they made a good effort and he should have just taught them more, and from there makes amends by thoroughly teaching them some aggressive tactics they can use in future games, and better ways to strategize.

👥 + Edmont

Send 👥 for a headcanon relating to both of our muses

Of course Artoirel is deeply loyal to his house, and by extension, his father, but he did not harbor the same compassion towards Count Edmont in the beginning as he does now. If anything, he felt spiteful because Edmont would show more warmth towards Haurchefant than he would towards him, and it made him feel as though his efforts to be a good son and upstanding heir to the House went unappreciated. Artoirel is far too stubborn to lash out and do something rebellious, and getting back at him in such a way does not align with his values, but he still vented his frustration at him in other ways. He'd stay composed while talking with his father, but look completely exasperated at him when his back was turned, and the way he spoke to him was polite, but clipped and at times stilted by anger.

However, now that he realizes that there was severe flaw in his way of thinking, he's become more open-minded, not only towards the WoL and the way Ishgardian society should operate, but also towards his father. Due to this, the tone of their conversations are far less tense, and their bond has grown stronger for it.

I'm trying to think a little bit more about Artoirel's reaction to the WoL fighting Halone beyond the "DID YOU FIGHT MY GODDESS? DID YOU FIGHT MY GODDESS, WOL?" shitposting I normally do, and I honestly think he'd be okay with it because of how much respect he has for the WoL as a person and a combatant. And when the WoL tells him that Halone enjoyed it he smiles and says something along the lines of "Of course she did. Out of everyone in the realm who could possibly fight her, you are the one who is the most worthy of that honor."

#ive been thinking for a while now about what kind of reaction he should have that also makes it feel like he has high respect #for both the wol and halone #and yeah. this. i think this is it.#tbt.#endwalker spoilers /#6.0 spoilers /

#memes.#nervously side eyes all the other stuff i need to work on in my inbox #i wanna be self indulgent and do some hc stuff first tho

Fellas do you ever paint over an old doodle for fun and self improvement and then progressively make little changes until it ends up more horny than it was supposed to be originally

#'who gave him those marks' thats for you to decide!! :)#no literally i didnt plan for this LMAO IT JUST. KIND OF HAPPENED #im actually v happy w this though bc it looks much better than how it looked before #𝐎𝐎𝐂. peach time #my art.#nsfwish /

Also consider Artoirel and Haurchefant growing close as brothers to the point where Artoirel can be comfortably snippy with him too. Like Artoirel being like "You're late, Haurchefant! >:I" and Haurchefant just smiling and barely being affected bc they know each other well enough by that point that he knows that Artoirel isn't actually mad at him

#𝐎𝐎𝐂. peach time #PUNCHES DIRT. I LOVE THE FORTEMPS BROTHERS SO MUCH!!!! SHOVELS THE DIRT INTO MY MOUTH
