Summary:

'Lucas' is as good a name as any when he can't remember his real one. The way people talk about the Night, not to mention his scars and the nightmares he has sometimes, he isn't sure he wants to remember. He's content to spend his days fishing the Sathersea, hunting in the wilderness of Piztala, and generally doing whatever he wants to. It's been long enough that he's made his peace with the fact that no one's looking for him, that probably no one's left to look for him.

That is, until people show up claiming to know who he is and calling him 'Noctis.'

Sometimes when you stay at Caem, Ignis will gaze out the window.  If you zoom in on his face, you can see he has this wistful expression.  I wonder what he was thinking about.

Lesser-known steps of the writing process:

Finding all the paragraphs where you used some hyper-specific word more than once

Rearranging paragraphs that you swear you wrote in the right order but turned out to be totally backwards

Going for a walk, coming up with the perfect line, and forgetting it as soon as you get home and open your laptop

Creating a separate document where you can dump all of those nice sentences that no longer fit in anywhere

Waking up in a cold sweat because so-and-so was supposed to be barefoot but never actually took his shoes off

the foreboding sense of doom? oh yeah i know that one. just double check you have your wallet, keys and some chapstick, works every time

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

was expecting to reblog this with a tongue-in-cheek reply to the many people saying "this didn't fix me :(" but somehow not a single person in the notes is disagreeing. everyone's just nodding their heads thoughtfully bc yeah that's how you deal with the Foreboding Sense Of Doom, that's good protocol
