Maybe you were thinking that this blog is a PEGGIE propaganda place. Me too. I started it for this purpose. Because I've grown to like Eden's Gate...But every time I sat down to write something to praise it, I was feeling myself bad. I've seen the cost of propaganda in the real life, experienced on my skin, when my best friends, my relatives turned their backs on me because I was different. Hurts. Not just to me, but for those, who were made the aim of this propaganda: "Enemies, traitors, dangerous elements", in fact, innocent people. I've seen people eaten out to the bottom by the propaganda. Until nothing is left. Not in games or movies but in real life. So every time I wanted to come here and say "Follow the "RIGHT" ideals", I desperately desired to grab those who read it by their shoulders, shake and shout "DON'T TRUST ME! DON'T TRUST THEM! TRUST NO ONE!". That's why I was always leaving you notes like "who am I to judge?". I wanted you to judge everything: me, them and I'm not speaking about the Eden's Gate and the Resistance. I'm speaking about the real life.
But I am a liar. Most desperately in my life I wanted to find some idea to follow. Some abstract "Joseph Seed"/God/Leader to believe. To give in to the faith into something. But I...I always thought that if I once managed to see the truth when everyone was looking away, even at the cost of my own never ending emptiness, eating me out every day, I have to go on. To carry this message of doubting everyone and everything because if today you believed a no name from the internet about the game, tomorrow, when this place will be taken by the real propaganda machine and professional psychologists, who make money from dividing us into "enemies" in real life, someone real, not an NPC may get hurt, just because you didn't ask yourself "Why do I have to believe it?" in time. I always thought that I am a monster, whose purpose is an attempt to spread my "trust nothing" philosophy, even if it hurts like hell, as far as I can...God, I'm so tired, even if I'm a non-believer. I just wanted to make this world a place where no one else loses what he/she loves because of politics or manipulators...Silly little boy....
I got so tired that I went to youtube, thinking, "should I really post this confession of a nobody?". I tapped on the first video in my recommendations, asking myself, what was all this for? Why am I in here? And this video turned out to be a Far Cry 5 clip with two lines "No one is coming to save you" from Joseph and "We have forgotten what it is to be strong" by Jacob. Right about me. I became so weak that I forced myself to believe that I'm "special", that I'm right, while secretly dreaming of someone coming to me and giving me a purpose to live for. My weakness clouded my judgement on myself. And Yes, no one is coming to save me, to decide, what's right in this life and to what should I dedicate myself...
Pride. That's my biggest sin. Pride of thinking I can help someone. Pride of thinking I can change anything. Pride of thinking I'm right...It's even funny how much I've thought of myself. But now, when my sin is exposed, it may be absolved....
That last post reminded me of a short fic I read where more skin unlocks the true power of the Amicitia family so when they fight against the Titan, Gladio reluctantly yet hurridly strips naked then proceeds to completely own the fight with a fuckin bewildered team in the BG. :’D
@sillysinner replied to your photo “That Underswap fangame that’s been in production for the past year...”
Maybe if you saw how they reacted like how they spit in rest of Swap Sans designs, "retarded", and pretty much shitting on other AUs on their Discord while ranting about quality. I personally was excited and wanted to give them a chance but when I saw that dev note and poked my head in their serious-ut-discussion Discord, that was just gross.
Welp.
I looked it up because I live under a rock, and yes, they did in fact call the more popular character designs that.
I was talking about how everyone was mad about how they weren’t “the real thing” (like the whole drama regarding an interpretation from the early Five Nights at Freddy’s fandom), but that is absolutely a reason to be angry with them. I completely agree, that’s gross.
Eee, I’d love a Promnis ship breakdown! <3 Tbh, I love to headcanon that Ignis had romantic feelings first just because I want him to be all internally flustered and a bit jealous because I’m trash. Like at first all suspicious because gotta protect the Prince from fake friends with ult motives but then sees how hard he works as time goes on when Prom starts training to be a guard and that sincerity and insecurity underneath the goofy smiles and ahhhh;;
sdghsdjkd i’m so sorry it took me so long to answer this ahhhh i got this ask late last night and wasn’t able to get to it until just now
(throwing this under a cut bc length)
How did they they meet?
noct introduces them to each other. ignis is expecting the worst, but when he actually gets to meet prompto, something feels different. prompto even goes out of his way to try and befriend ignis, which never happened with any of noctis’ other friends, so maybe he’s lowkey hoping that prompto’s not like the others
Who developed romantic feelings first?
i think ignis develops feelings first, but it takes him a lot longer to realize that they’re romantic feelings. when he DOES realize his feelings towards prompto, he’s got this internal conflict going on (his happiness vs. potentially ruining noct’s relationship with one of his few friends) and for a while ignis can’t be alone with prompto bc he’ll start panicking
Who is their biggest “shipper?”
probably noct and gladio. they just want their useless gay friends to be happy ok
When did they have their first kiss and under what circumstances?
their first first kiss was an accident—prompto and ignis literally ran into each other at full speed and their lips kinda met and neither of them could look at each other for a week bc it was so embarrassing (prompto actually bit Ignis’ lip hard enough to make it bleed and he literally wouldn’t stop apologizing for, like, a week)
their second first kiss was at the end of their first date. they tried to kiss a few times before that, but one of them would get pulled away for something before they could actually kiss. it occurred to ignis a the end of their date that nobody would interrupt, so he kisses prompto before he lets the opportunity slip through his fingers
Who confessed their feelings first?
prompto. he wrote ignis a poem and tbh it wasn’t that great but like.......... ignis thought it was adorable and that’s all that matters okay
What was their first official date?
they went to an aquarium. there was very little making out because these nerds were too busy exchanging random facts about sea creatures tho (ignis bought prompto a lil seahorse plushie from the gift shop and to this day prompto still sleeps with it aHHHHHH)
How do they feel about double dates/group dates?
prompto loves them!!! a handful of their first dates were double dates bc prompto was super nervous and having aranea and cindy or noctis and gladio around made him a little less anxious. ignis enjoys them, too, but sometimes prompto and cindy get a little too distracted with machine talk
What do they do in their down time?
they’ll do little things together, like cook or clean or walk their dog. ignis might help prompto in his darkroom and prompto will help ignis with some of his work if it’s really stressing them out. some nights, if they don’t have a date planned, the two of them will just be super lazy and watch disney movies and eat ice cream for dinner because dammit prompto we only live once and if you hog all the mint chip ice cream i will break up with you
What was the first meeting of parents as an official couple like?
jeez, they were both so nervous. prompto was terrified that ignis’ uncle would disapprove because of his status, but ignis’ uncle was so thrilled to see his nephew with someone he loved rather than a political relationship
ignis didn’t get to meet prompto’s parents for a very long time, with them constantly being out of the city. by the time they’re able to meet, they’ve been in a relationship for a little over a year. prompto’s parents freak out bc “when you said you had a boyfriend you didn’t mention that he was the prince’s adviser” (prompto almost dies of embarrassment omg)
What was their first fight over and how did they get past it?
their first fight was over prompto enlisting in the crownsguard. ignis didn’t want to think about the possibility of losing him, but prompto takes it as him doubting his skill, which only makes ignis frustrated.
they take a few hours to cool off, after which ignis drops by prompto’s place without any warning with a peace offering—tickets to the aquarium. ignis explains what he was trying to say and offers to help him train and they kiss and make up and they work a little harder at communicating
Which one is more easily made jealous?
prompto. there’s this deep-seated fear that ignis is going to find someone better and whenever a pretty girl or a cute guy talks to him, he lowkey starts panicking.
What is their favourite thing to get to eat?
they order from this tenebraen place at least once a week. by now, the shop knows their number and has their order memorized.
Who’s the cuddly one? What their favourite cuddling position?
p r o m p t o. he’s just!!!! got so much love to give!!!! ignis thinks it’s just so endearing he can’t help but go along with it
their favorite cuddling position is the half-spoon bc it means 1) prompto can fall asleep listening to ignis’ heart beat 2) no arguments over who gets to be the big spoon and 3) ignis can make Profound Statements
Are they hand holders?
yeah! ignis can’t exactly show much pda bc he’s gotta stay alert in public, y’know, defend his prince if need be, but hand holding is enough to assure prompto that ignis isn’t ashamed to be seen with him in public (also prompto tends to get distracted if he’s really deep in conversation so ignis kinda has to hold his hand so he doesn’t walk into a stop sign... again)
How long do they wait before sleeping together for the first time? What’s the circumstances?
a couple months after they start dating, ignis and prompto are invited to come along with gladio and noctis on a camping trip. the cabin they were staying in only had two beds, so ignis and prompto shared. they probably would’ve been more nervous if gladio hadn’t taken them on an exhausting hike
Who tops?
ignis, usually. prompto gets super anxious when it comes to sex, so ignis tends to take the lead
What’s the worst fight they’ve ever gotten into?
after ignis loses his sight, he snaps at prompto out of frustration. prompto tries not to take it personally, he really does, but it hurts when ignis pushes him away when he’s just trying to help. even worse, ignis doesn’t get a chance to apologize until after they rescue prompto from ardyn’s clutches, so he’s left feeling terrible for weeks.
Who does the shopping and the cooking?
prompto shops while ignis is at work and ignis does most of the cooking, though he has taught prompto a number of recipes.
Which one is more organized and prone to tidiness?
prompto. ignis, for the most part, is very organized person, but he lets himself slack off at home. prompto can’t stand having things out of place, though, so he winds up tiding up the house
Who proposes?
ignis. he had everything planned out and it was going to be super romantic, but then altissia happens and he’s forced to put that aside in order to focus on the matter at hand. he actually winds up proposing after a hunt goes wrong sometime during the world of ruin.
Do they have joined Bachelor/Bacheloette parties or separate?
they have a joined bachelor party, but it’s not really much of a party—just a couple friends getting drinks bc that’s all they could really do with so few resources.
Who is the best man/maid of honour? Any other groomsmen or bridesmaids?
gladio is ignis’ best man and aranea’s the maid of honor
Big Ceremony or Small?
it’s a pretty small ceremony—just their closest friends—and it takes place sometime after the sun returns and everything is (mostly) rebuilt
Hiya, sorry, another question! Can I have help translating his stats? I don’t understand the first sentence (his, uh, psi is very strong/high?) but I think the second one means “HP and strength(?) is rather high” but I’m pretty unsure. Thank you for your time. ^^
The first line is talking about attack power against the enemy base – he does “super high psi damage to the enemy base” (”psi damage” doesn’t actually mean anything in Hesowars, it’s just a reference to the character and his series). You pretty much got the second line, though: “HP and attack are very high”! This time “attack power” is referring to his damage against enemy units.
So, much like the Magic set, he does more damage to the enemy base than to enemy units!
