The Emperor sending Ardyn to negotiate the peace treaty: Don’t be extra

Ardyn:

[mabwee]

When your brother kills your girl and takes your throne but still thinks you’re the evil one

[starscourged]

@livarin​:  you could have saved them all.

that statement wanted to make him just stand there and laugh at that statement. him? a saviour? the man who stands before the messenger was the man who was cast aside and lost his right to the throne for being a healer, and to hear livaris - not this elias name he took on - say he could of saved people made ardyn just feel so jovial, yet full of pure anger and spite at the same time. a deadly concoction, one that was bathed in fires.

“you would say that, wouldn’t you? saving mankind from the ailments in their system is all so noble, isn’t it. yet look what it cost me, look at just who stole my throne, who stole my title. did your precious little gods tell you this, livaris? the truth of why i despise them, and by extension, dislike you, little messenger boy?”  head tilts as the wolfish grin etches on his lips, letting his form tower the other as emphasis on that title he bestows on the other, quite probably begrudgingly in the other’s favour, but he never cared.

“somnus stole everything because i was blessed to heal, blessed to save people, and the crystal shunned me aside for that. they both call me corrupt, monstrous, a parasite, so why not embrace that and turn that pain on the lineage he so desperately wants to aid? why not make bahamut have some amusing viewing? tell me, livaris, since you oh so loyally talk for the six, are they proud of the role i play for them? or do they prefer me being the false healer like you want me to be?”

Oh, dear. Perhaps I don’t know my own strength.

@godwinged​:  you gonna move? or do i move you?

gloved hand rests against heavily clothed chest in feigned pain at the words. then again, with lips twitching into a grin full of awareness of his actions taunting the monochromatic clothed man, it contradicted the expression dancing on his face. ardyn purposefully stayed quiet for far longer than needed for a simple yes or no question, fully knowing that it was far too long, before finally, the taunting tone leaves him.

“oh, don’t mind me, i am simply admiring the view before me. can a man not do such a simple task without being questioned? if you wish for me to move, you need only ask nicely, and i will be more than happy to oblige to your request.” hand moves from his chest to gesture to the other, head tilting as he kept the devious, knowing grin on his face. it was all a harmless, entertaining game to the chancellor, even if the other was not willing to play at all.

@somxus​:  "what the hell are you?"

oh how so many words could answer such a simple, closed mind question. what truly was this man before the chosen king? a cast aside pawn, neglected by the players only to arise as the most powerful piece in the game, next to the king itself? or was he just a monster waiting for his shackles to be unlocked so the monstrosities can become impossible to tame. truthfully, ardyn never knew his assigned roles potential, but to toy with the fated king before him was a treat he will savour until he meets his end on the mortal coil he is confined to.

“now that is a good question, noct. what am i? a scoundrel taunting you and your little friends while you run around ignoring your father’s death? a murderer of your betrothed that you laid helplessly against while a retainer blinds himself?” arms gesture all so casually as the grin etches itself neatly on his face. he knows those answers are not what he wants, nor needs, but when was ardyn ever going to feed the supposed king of light’s hunger for the truth?

“you will have to be far more specific than that if you wish to be satisfied, i’m afraid. oh, how many words can describe me, many you have said yourself. so, tell me, oh chosen king, what am i?”

𝐀 𝐌𝐀𝐍 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐍𝐎 𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄 — tales of a dark age drifter. 

i was prepared to kill for it. die for it.

you have to run.

you died. i brought you back.

what the hell are you?

my only purpose is to support you.

what the hell is wrong with me?

your name is stupid, and you’re stupid too.

sir. this is awful.

i don’t want to die.

these guys are worse than the stories.

they’ll kill you without meaning to. naturally as breathing. they can’t help it.

you gonna move? or do i move you?

there’s nothin’ but war-land out there.

i almost admire you.

i have ways to make you tell us what we want to know.

did you get sloppy?

i told you to shut up.

you could have saved them all.

i wanted to stop you from leaving, but i didn’t think i had the right.

give someone something to chase and you give them purpose.

you could be so much more.

i never forgive and i never forget.

pick on someone your own size.

who the hell pays you?

would you like to dance before you go?

i heard you kill.

i don’t believe you’ve been honest with me.

is that supposed to impress me?

i heard you care very much about right and wrong, and the delivery of justice to those who deserve it.

i believe in revenge with all my heart.

[fairysmooches]

would   you   rather   (2013)   rp   meme.

tw:   drinking,   death,   violence.   change   pronouns   as   necessary.

i had no place to turn.

you mad at me or something?

why would i be mad at you?

i feel like i let you down.

you can’t always be the hero.

i could really use the quiet.

it’s gonna be fine. we’ll get through this.

i trust that you will be on your best behavior tonight.

i mean, really. what’s the point?

why are you doing this?

i want to help you.

you have no idea how hard i’ve worked.

is all this necessary?

there’s no better window into a person’s character than the decisions that they make while under duress.

what the hell is this?

i knew this was too good to be true.

someone’s had a little too much to drink.

you go to hell, you sick motherfucker.

i don’t think i can do this.

you’re fucking crazy.

the least you could do is show a little fucking respect.

psycho little bitch.

you heard me, bitch.

opening your mouth was a big mistake.

i will fuck that guy up if i get the chance.

they want us to turn on each other.

yeah, we’re fucked.

they’re gonna kill us.

i’ve been through worse.

let’s just get it over with.

what the fuck is the matter with you people?

what did i ever do to you?

it’s just like life, isn’t it? no do-overs.

he needs medical attention.

can i stab her anywhere?

put some pressure on it.

can you breathe?

she’s not unconscious. she’s dead.

i tried to help her.

you made a decision and there’s a consequence.

keep your sarcasm to yourself.

they shot him.

is there a way out?

you’re lucky you didn’t get us all killed.

keep your petulant mouth shut.

why are you pointing a gun in my face?

now he’s dead.

i can’t do it.

that isn’t possible.

it’s over. we’re done. we can go home.

i think we have some things in common.

you’re here for someone else, right?

i’ll bet you’d do anything for him.

i know exactly how you feel.

i believe a “thank you” is in order.

oh my god, what did you do?

[insomniaeon]

I have no explanation for this
