Might get flamed for this because they barely interacted in the anime & manga, but fck it, idc. I ship them. I’m plotting a fic with them. I drew them. And I aged them up, post Karasuno.

Guess I’m on my own in my Kageyama x Kiyoko ship. Kbyeee ⛵️

Supportive Regis (Gladnis AU)

So following the Supportive Clarus headcanons, and into the headcanon that Regis is the supportive parental figure to Ignis in Gladnis AU, I’ve tried to come with headcanons for it (adding a Read More for all of you out of the ship/headcanon, not to be bothered by a long post).

Regis and Ignis don’t get to spend too much time together, so his and Gladio’s relationship (as compared to) isn’t as fun/developed as it is between Clarus and Ignis.

The king is a busy man, and he gives priority to spending his free time with Noctis, so there’s very little time left...yet, if it’s up to him, he will choose to see Ignis.

Regis hates the way Ignis bottles up all his feelings, emotions and personal thoughts: he was raised to think he doesn’t matter so long he’s not treating royal issues and being “of use”.

Therefore, Regis will always look for subtle ways to make Ignis talk about his personal life.

Ignis won’t notice when the conversation went from last night’s Council meeting to how Gladio made a mean comment on their last date.

“*gasp* He didn’t”

“Astrals, he did”

Regis knows that if he gives one second to Ignis to think, Ignis will go “My apologies. My personal life isn’t important. We were talking about...” and will go back to robot-mood in which he only works.

That’s why Regis comes up with those awkward teenage-like responses: so that Ignis’ reflex is to answer and carry on with the conversation.

Regis likes Ignis “fangirl” mode: he will ramble a lot and move the hands, but his tone is the same as if he would be treating royal matters: keeps it cool, but if you take his words alone, he’s totally teenage-like rambling on his boyfriend.

At first Regis only wanted Ignis to talk bc it’s not healthy to bottle up everything, but turned out to be deeply interested in the issues themselves.

Plus Regis gives the greatest advise on the romantic issue: not on flirting or making the partner laugh, but on what love means and what it means to have a beloved one.

Regis is a gossip mess in the Gladnis matter.

“Ignis, you won’t believe what Clarus said that Gladiolus said about you the other day”

“Ignis, I heard from Clarus that Gladiolus was who hid your tie- it’s in the training hall”

“Ignis, you won’t believe what Clarus said about you the other day”

“Ignis, bet you can’t guess what Clarus’ going to gift you today”

“Ignis, Clarus said you left a great impression on him”

“Ignis, Clarus says”, “Ignis, Clarus thinks”, “Ignis, I heard that Gladiolus”.

“Ignis, Clarus praises your loyalty”

“Wh-wha- did he really... ahem, apologies. I meant to say I’m deeply honored that  Mr. Amicitia thinks-”

“And he says he’s so happy to have you as son-in-law and loves you”

“DID HE REALLY, OMG”

Indeed, Regis is so weak for Gladnis and Amicitia-Ignis gossip he was who told Ignis he was having dinner for the first time with the Amicitia before even Gladio could ask Ignis.

“IGNIS, SON, GO LOOK FOR YOUR BEST CASUAL-FORMAL ATTIRE. In a day or two you’re going to be asked to have dinner with Clarus and family! :D”

“to haVE WHAT-!? D:” Ignis also accidentally dropped some papers he was carrying by accident after stumbling upon his own feet as he quietly yelped that out.

Ignis doesn’t show it but he’s profoundly concerned of the kind of impression he may leave to Clarus Amicitia as a human being, not just as co-worker, and Regis knows Ignis’ scared.

Regis almost didn’t get it, but he managed to catch up with Ignis when he was leaving the Citadel that day to give him some advise and support for that night.

Ignis was too nervous and forgot everything except “don’t be nervous”.

Regis is also weak for gossip the other way around

“Clarus, you won’t believe what Ignis said about you the other day”

“Clarus, Ignis says he not only respects but also admires you”

“Clarus, the other day Ignis said Mr. Clarus and not Amicitia, omg, he loves you”

“Clarus, bet you can’t guess what Ignis’ going to gift you in your birthday”

“Clarus, the other day Ignis told me he really, really admires you”

“I’m honored to know-”

“And he said you’re more his dad than his real dad”

“...Did he really ;A; <3 “

Also after that first dinner together: “Clarus, Ignis was terrified of last night, you terrify him”

“Oh, was it terror? I thought he was just shy. He shouldn’t be scared, though. He behaved amazingly.”

“Ignis, you left a good impression last night, Clarus said...”

There was this once Noctis told Regis about his “new friend who loves photography”; Regis asked him what kind of stuff he liked to photograph, and when the list got to “sometimes Ignis and Gladio, too”, Regis asked Noctis to ask Prompto for some of those pictures.

That was Regis’ gift to Gladio and Ignis on their second anniversary: a bunch of photographs of the two of them, some of which they didn’t even know about.

Regis is really a fangirl mess for Gladio and Ignis’ relationship. Supports it as hell.

Regis had shown so much care for Ignis and his relationship that he’s the first person to come to Ignis’ mind when he wants to share something, even just a small comment .

Regis is also first in mind when Ignis is overwhelmed by emotions (whether they’re good or bad) and he doesn’t know who to go to (when he can’t/doesn’t want to go to Gladio).

When Ignis’ overwhelmed by emotions he will try to swallow it and “not bother anyone”. Except Regis always notices, and will always ask.

Ignis will say nothing on his emotions, so it’s always up to Regis to scan the guy and see if there’s anything bothering him. That’s the only way Ignis will talk those issues: when asked by Regis.

There was this once Ignis had a fight with Gladio and both snapped bad words (they didn’t mean to), and Ignis was terribly upset but tried not to show it.

Which was fine until he saw Regis.

The mere image of the king, his fatherly figure, looking at him broke him. Still, Ignis tried to keep composure and just started reporting things to Regis.

Regis noticed as soon as Ignis put the head lightly down that something was wrong. He asked, but Ignis ignored him and continued reporting like a robot with a memorized speech unable to stop.

When Regis put a hand on Ignis’ hair, Ignis just broke down.

As reserved and overly respectful as he is, he didn’t dare look up or get closer; he just cried and cried standing there, using his hands to clean his eyes, and apologizing over and over, hating himself because “Why can’t I stop?”

“My apologies, your Highness...I-I’m wetting the report papers...”

Like Regis gave a shit about the report papers.

Regis is always the one who has to bring Ignis in a hug; Ignis won’t touch the king otherwise.

It was Regis’ photographs-gift what brought Gladio and Ignis to apologize and work things out.

Regis knows Ignis is very embarrasssed (in a bad way that saddens the young adviser) because Clarus loves him so much, and he has had dinner with the Amicitia hundreds of time in over 2 years, and he was even given keys of the Amicitia house, while the Scientia haven’t given a chance to Gladio (they’re “too busy for teenage romance nonsense”).

So one day Regis asks for Gladio and Ignis into Council meeting, except there’s no council meeting, and the table is set for dinner.

“Your Majesty, I apologize. What are we celebrating?”

“Gladiolus, please forget about formalities. Tonight is family dinner.  I’m Ignis’ father today.”

Ofc Gladio’s puzzled at first, but Ignis’ just as shocked: he had made comments on his problem with his parent, and had said he would “like to have dinner with Gladio and at least one of his parents”, he just wasn’t expecting this.

Yet, Ignis knew this was a real “family dinner” unlike what he would have gotten had his parents agreed someday.

Regis doesn’t say it but he really wishes to attend two weddings and walk two sons down the aisle one day. Not just Noctis.

Regis feels so much of a dad to Ignis that he once mistook him by that.

“...and that’s why I think it is important to tell your brother.”

“...to tell...who, your Highness? I...do not have any siblings”

“Oh. I meant...I meant Noctis”

Regis is chuckling and snorting at his own stupidity, but Ignis doesn’t understand: he interpreted it as a way of Regis to say Noctis and Ignis were good friends, never once did it cross Ignis’ head that the king had thought he was his son.

One of the last things Regis said to Gladio, regarding Ignis, was: “While I do know he doesn’t require of it, I do ask you to protect Ignis as well. I know your only responsability is to protect my son...but so is Ignis’. Ignis has no sense of self-care, and I fear he will blindly sacrifice himself only for the sake of protecting my son. You can save yourself and Noctis at once, but Ignis forgets he’s a human, and will only save Noctis if the situation is at hand. I do ask you, not as a king but as a father to Ignis, to look after him if necessary. Do not forget that behind your shied there’s not only Noctis; there’s Ignis, using his own body as a second shield for my son in case yours breaks. I ask too much, I’m aware, and while failure is part of life...I do ask you, Gladiolus, walk tall and try not to fail”.

That’s why Gladio takes so serious his role as Shield of the King: not only is it his task as Amicitia and his personal goal/life purpose, it’s also a personal promise to Regis.

Maybe that’s why he becomes SO angry to life and so overprotective to Ignis after Altissia: he failed to Regis. Twice.

I didn’t mean such sad last point but it made so much sense agh I hate me.

I’m a Gladnis trash mess and I regret nothing. I need more Regis in my life,  dammit.

Movie #302-All Is Lost

Tuesday, October 29, 2013 Film: All Is Lost Location: Varsity Cineplex Toronto, ON Time: 9:05PM

Running time 106 minutes (translation 1 hour and 46 minutes)

The Review:  All Is Lost is an "against the odds" film about one man's struggles to stay alive at sea. If Sandra Bullock is a shoe-in for an Oscar Nomination for Gravity, than Robert Redford is her male counterpart deserving similar accolades.  In his best role since The Natural, Redford dazzles as a senior sailing alone facing one hardship after another. Redford uses his entire repertoire of acting skills including his aging body to make All Is Lost fantastically believable.  If you loved Gravity then see All Is Lost; it's stressful and amazing. Cast:

Robert Redford Writer/Director: J.C. Chandor Overall Grade:

Sidebar:  An all out fight almost broke out during this film.  I was sitting in the back row with two 20 something year old guys sitting in front of me off to my left. The film begins with a Robert Redford narration reading a letter he has written to his family claiming all is lost and that he has made a bunch of stupid mistakes to get to where he is, near death, and then  finally apologizing to his family for dying. Needless to say this scene is quite significant to the film.  During this narration 12 friends/relatives of a foreign variety march in and sit about 5 rows down from me taking up the entire row.  These 12 folks proceed to  stand and de-robe for 5 minutes, then play musical chairs with one another for the next 7.  When they finally settle in, one of the 12 decides to make a phone call as another starts texting.  This puts the two 20 somethings in front of me over the edge and one of them shouts out at the top of his lungs "Get off the fucking phone!!! Sit down in your fucking chair!!! And watch the fucking movie!"  This sends the posse of 12 into a frenzy and me into a panic as I think a full out brawl is about to take place during a one man acted movie; if you can believe it (think Castaway, but on a boat). Not 20 minutes later following a barrage of texts, the posse of 12 gets up wastes 7 minutes re-robing and marches out stating very loudly "this movie sucks, what's it supposed to be about anyway", never to return. 

This scene straight out of a movie took place at the Cineplex Varsity of all places.
