#throwback — Allow me to express my sadness. I’ve been keeping it deep within me for far too long…
.
.
That day, I was the happiest person alive. I organised a mega bike gathering and catered for more than 3500 people. But I did not do it alone; I had an excellent team (both from Kuala Lumpur and in Kuching). If wasn’t for their hard work and support, I wouldn’t be smiling the way I did in the photo. And that was just ¼ of my teammates. That day, I remember like it was only a few weeks ago. I remembered reigniting a hope that we will be a strong empire again. But alas, it was nothing more than just a dream; Greed murdered that…
.
.
I try not to dwell into the past, but it is beyond my control. That love was replaced by hate, not for the brand or the family I had there: it was a burning hatred for Greed. There is a way for redemption but don’t expect me to forgive easily. I may forgive but I won’t be as warm as I was before. You’ve betrayed the trust of those who’ve trusted you and you have killed our livelihood. So, thank you for that…
.
.
The day will come where I will be able to laugh at all those old pictures and reminisce of the good old days. But that day isn’t today and it won’t be tomorrow. Nor any day soon. Thank you for that good 15 years. ( 2003 – 2018 )

Anonymous: Do you think you could write selfie headcanons about FFXV and FFVII guys and girls?

Yes, Anon, I absolutely can. I think this will be a fun little project, as I love both games terribly! uvu I went ahead and split this into two different parts, just to help categorize things better when I add it to my masterlists.

Prompto Argentum

  • The ‘lighting is everything.’
  • Prompto is all about taking selfies in natural light, usually with his friends in the background, making faces and inappropriate gestures at him all the while – but he wouldn’t have it any other way. 
  • He refuses to edit them, regardless of their finished quality; if they’re good, they’re good. And if they’re not? Well, they still mean something.
  • Prompto likes to take selfies when the opportunity strikes. He never really thinks about the setting or how he looks, because it’s about making memories and having fun.
  • Photos in which he happens to be the only subject usually turn out to be his most melancholy; he’s just a lot happier when his friends are next to him.
  • He’s really good about posing when other people are in the picture; he has a lot more to focus on rather than his own face, whether they’re all in sync, if everyone’s smiling, the distracting scent of Gladiolus’ aftershave,,, 
    • For some reason, he just looks stunning when he’s standing beside the people he loves. 
  • He tries to get Nyx Ulric’s butt in his selfies whenever possible.
  • He sends Noctis good morning selfies over snapchat in his pajamas, messed up hair and all. It’s adorable.

Noctis Lucis Caelum

  • The ‘awkward peace sign.’
  • He can’t take a selfie worth a shit; they’re all at awkward and unflattering angles, and as much as he doesn’t want to admit it, he has about as much experience with a cellphone camera as his father does.
  • He deletes every single selfie he takes approximately seventeen seconds after he takes them, because hell if he’s going to keep something he can’t even look at for more than a few moments. 
  • Noctis is very photogenic when other people are taking photos of him; he doesn’t know why he looks like a goblin’s ass in the ones he takes of himself. The rest of his entourage unfortunately agrees with him on that one. 
  • He’s the one making bunny ears behind Prompto’s head and peace signs at the camera; there’s just no other way to take a photo for him, trying to look cool is awkward if he’s not doing something with his hands.
  • If he’s asked for a selfie, he’ll send a photo of his face from a newspaper clipping – it’s easier than embarrassing himself.

Ignis Scientia

  • The ‘picture perfect.’
  • It is impossible for him to take a bad picture, whether he’s lifting his phone and posing for the camera or accidentally snapping a shot of himself while removing his cell from his shirt pocket, they’re always worthy of keeping – by everyone else’s standards, anyhow.
  • Ignis will take photos if he’s asked for them, mostly to amuse Prompto, but he rarely takes them on his own accord. He just doesn’t see the need to fill his cellular memory with his own face when there are more important things to record – like Noctis’ empty refrigerator or his filthy living room after he’s been asked to clean it. 
  • Sometimes he will send photos of himself frowning to Gladiolus or Noctis if they’re being particularly argumentative. It cuts the tension. 
  • He keeps selfies that include any one of his friends, especially those he doesn’t often see, like Iris and some of the glaive. And likewise, every selfie that his companions can get their hands on are kept and ogled at; no one can truly blame another.
  • He once sent Prompto fifteen selfies in which he taught him how to tie a tie step-by-step. 

Gladiolus Amicitia

  • The ‘million-watt smile.’
  • There’s not a selfie he’s taken that doesn’t have a great smile and perfect teeth to show off; even if he’s in the most serious of atmospheres, Gladio loves to have a smile on his face.
  • All of his selfies contain solely his face and chest, unless he’s somehow photobombed by his sister, as his body takes up nearly all of the camera space – no matter how far he tries to take a picture from.
  • Gladiolus takes the time to get pretty for the camera and is no stranger to posing in the most provocative of manner, even if he’s just going to keep the photo for himself.
  • If he does wear a shirt (ultra rare occurrence), there is almost always a Cup Noodle stain somewhere on it. Ignis points it out every time.
  • He likes to play around with filters for optimal definition; the camera leaves much to be desired when it comes to truly showing off his muscular cuts.
  • They get posted all over social media for the likes.

Iris Amicitia

  • The ‘perfect angle.’
  • She always adds hearts and cute pastel filters to her pictures; it is important to be the cutest selfie-taker around. 
  • Timestamps and borders are everything; it’s crucial to her to see how her editing game has improved over the years. 
  • Taking selfies with Prompto is her absolute favorite thing, because he just knows how to catch her off guard and make for an authentic laughter shot.
  • She sends morning, afternoon, night, breakfast, lunch, and dinner photos to everyone who has her added on snapchat. Recording her day in selfies is as good as keeping a diary. 
  • She makes sure she has all the photos of Noctis looking over her shoulder that she can get. Of course, he looks a little bland and he doesn’t really like taking photos up close, but he does it for her and she’s perfectly fine with that. 
  • Iris and Clarus twin pose in every single shot: bunny ears, peace signs, finger guns, winky faces – they’ve captured it all.

Lunafreya Nox Fleuret

  • The ‘gentle expression.’
  • Her selfies are always delicate and surrounded by natural, ethereal light, though most people would refer to such a thing as just her smile. 
  • She’s not one to often take photos with or of anyone unless it is the press, but there are times in which she snaps a few on her lonesome, if only to compare them to ones she’s taken years before. She can see how her happiness has faded from her younger self’s eyes. 
  • There is no editing or sending of photographs, she would rather keep them to herself as they are.
  • She has one taken of herself with Ravus pouting in the background that she printed and framed. It is one of her most cherished possessions. 
  • Sometimes, when she happens to capture a selfie on her better days, she could swear that Gentiana’s gentle eyes are smiling at her from within the shadows.

Ravus Nox Fleuret

  • ‘Commander Piss Face.’
  • He.
  • Does.
  • Not.
  • Take.
  • Selfies.

Loqi Tummelt

  • The ‘proverbial screw you.’
  • He sends people selfies of him shooting birds at the camera, because fuck everyone.
  • If he ever takes a nice, attractive photo of himself, he keeps it and refuses to show anyone the finished product. It just doesn’t feel right.
  • Loqi never asks to take pictures with anyone; instead, he takes a selfie with his target several feet away doing something completely unrelated and probably not even looking his way behind him. 
  • Sometimes, he’s about to take a selfie and Aranea comes up behind him to photobomb with her tongue sticking out. He turns off the camera and pretends he wasn’t taking a photo in the first place because she ruins everything!
  • The only time he was in a selfie with someone else was when the Marshal insisted he have one for the road. The only thing that could be seen of Loqi was his eyes and the top of his head, Cor taking up the rest of the photo space.

Regis Lucis Caelum

  • The ‘I love my kid.’
  • His selfies are blurry expressions of everlasting love for Noctis.
  • He doesn’t keep many pictures, but most of the ones he does have are badly taken selfies with his son beside him, ranging from being a toddler held in his arms to being a rowdy – less than royal – teenager.
  • You’ll see he wears just about everything from pajamas to royal raiments in his selfies; he likes for them to feel like an everyday, normal thing. 
  • He’s got quite a few out of focus ones from his younger years that resemble those of a well known gunner in Noctis’ entourage, and just like the blond, he wasn’t always lucky in getting away from the monsters.
  • Regis takes naughty selfies with Clarus and he isn’t the least bit sorry about it. Luckily, he’s so bad at taking photos that if Noctis happens to look through his camera roll, he wouldn’t be able to tell what anything is anyhow!
