I love how you're making Ignoct so cosy and domestic in your writing, it's good to read something not angsty and those two deserve hapiness. If you don't mind, can you write again about them, prompt #52 you're warm. Thank you

Hi Anon!! I’d be more than happy to write this for you!! But, I sort of wrote it a little feelsy - BUT WITH A HAPPY ENDING. So, I hope you like what I came up with!! ^_^

Title: ‘A Necessary Lesson’ Fandom: FFXVPairing; Ignoct  (Ignis Scientia x Noctis Lucis Caelum) Rating: General (feels and fluff; Brotherhood timeline)Word Count: ~1730Prompt: 100 Prompts List: 52. “Mmm....you’re warm.” 

Summary: Ignis loses his temper with Noctis, and decides the best course of action is to give him his space. It turns out that might not be the best idea.

***

Ignis tends to think he’s level headed, specifically when Noctis pushes his buttons quicker than anyone. They’ve known each other for twelve years, and there are some days that Noctis tries his patience to the point where he has to remind himself that this is his future King. This young man, who is given the privilege to attend a normal high school, while he himself has never had the experience of anything except being in the care of the Royal court. Not that Ignis is upset by this fact - no, he understands that his duty is to be one step ahead of Noctis at all times to be the appropriate Adviser to him, but just once - just once he would love to spend a day in Noctis’ shoes. 

“You don’t realize how well off you are, do you?” Ignis comments, as he scrubs the pot he’d used to make Noctis dinner - again - without a thank you being uttered once. “You get to live away from the Citadel, you get to do things that His Majesty would never have experienced at your age. Do you know why?” 

“Because I’m a spoiled teenager?” Noctis’ defenses are up, which Ignis knows he’s caused that to happen. “Because I don’t deserve the life I’m living? Why are you even here, Ignis? I don’t need you. I can take care of myself.” 

He drops the sponge in the sink, and turns off the water. “Your apartment would become a biohazard if I didn’t come here and clean up after you. I shouldn’t, but you give me no choice.” 

“No one is telling you to do these things!” The words hurt Ignis, which he knows are Noctis’ intentions. “Let me drown in my trash, then! I’ll take it out when I feel like it!” 

“So that I can be reprimanded because of your obnoxious behavior?” His eyes widen as he realizes he’s perhaps said too much. He adjusts his glasses, and exhales a long sigh. “I can see that my coming here bothers you, so I will only call when it’s important. If necessary, I will ask Gladio to relay information to you.”  

Untying the apron at his waist, he hangs it up and walks to the front door, picking up the shoe horn on top of the cabinets. “Ignis, wait. I didn’t mean what I said.” 

“We both know that you did.” Ignis looks at Noctis, and holding his briefcase in one hand he uses the other to open the door and leave the apartment. He closes it behind him, and hears Noctis yell a few curses. He rests his back against the front door, and waits to Noctis’ footsteps retreat before he pushes himself off and heads back to the elevator. 

Going over in his mind what sorts of things Noctis might be going through right now, he tries to find a reason for the animosity that seems to cloud both his and Noctis’ mind. He’s trying to find a middleground with him, but he knows if he doesn’t return to the apartment, it will become a trash sty in less than a week. He must learn that I can’t hold his hand forever. That thought brings pain to his chest, as he realizes that one day he will have to step away from him, even though he has no desire to do so. He has sworn to keep Noctis safe, and if that means having to take his garbage out because the Prince can’t be bothered like a normal human being, then so be it. 

The elevator opens in the lobby, but Ignis doesn’t move. He debates on whether or not he should go back up to the Prince’s apartment, or if he should go home. He hopes that if he’s feeling this way, then maybe Noctis is feeling just as remorseful. This is a lesson. It’s one that needs to be taught, and one that Noctis has to understand - someway, somehow. Rolling his shoulders back, he leaves the elevator and heads to his car. 

Sitting down in the driver’s seat, he wonders if he’s made the right choice, or if this is a terrible mistake. Noctis hasn’t texted him to apologize, nor has he called him. Fine. Then he won’t bother to do it either. Putting the key into the ignition, Ignis pulls out of his parking spot and heads back to his apartment, feeling a little upset at the situation. It will work itself out.

“I hope.”  

***

Two weeks pass by, Ignis attending all of the High Council meetings. He gives Gladio the notes to give to Noctis. “Ignis - you should go over there. You both are being stubborn about this.” 

“I’m aware of that, Gladio.” He doesn’t take the papers back from him. 

“I can’t be the middleman for the rest of our lives. You’re going to have to sort this out.” 

“Thank you.” Ignis heads back to his office, knowing that Gladio will continue to be the go-between for the two of them for however long is necessary. 

His office is quiet, which is something he is grateful for. Looking out the window at the garden down below, he sees Noctis is writing in the book to Lunafreya. He wonders for a second if it’s something about the two of them, but he knows that Noctis would never bore his betrothed with mundane items like their fight. 

Gladio is right. This has gone on long enough. If he has to be the bigger man, then so be it. 

***

He drives to Noctis’ apartment later that evening, hoping to find the Prince asleep. Putting his key into the lock, he opens the door and prepares himself for the stench of garbage. The apartment is dark, but he knows his way around well enough that the light from the nearby buildings are enough illumination for him. His hand goes to the light switch by the kitchen, and turns it on, his jaw dropping in surprise. 

The apartment is spotless. There are pots and dishes in the rack drying off, and whatever Noctis has cooked smells edible.  He looks over at the couch, his stomach going into a freefall as he sees Noctis’ sleeping form. A manga rests on his chest in a tent position, his head turned towards the pillows. Ignis smiles, and goes over to the couch to where Noctis is sleeping. Resting his hand on his shoulder, he gives it a gentle shake. 

“Wuzzit?” Noctis mumbles in his sleep. 

“Your Highness, you should be sleeping in your bed - not on the couch.” 

Noctis’ eyes open, his royal blue eyes staring up at him with a look of apology in them. “I’m dreaming, aren’t I?” 

“Why would you think that?” Ignis chuckles, and shakes his head. “I’m afraid I’m not an apparition.” 

“You have to be. You haven’t spoken to me in weeks. I thought you gave up on me.” 

His heart aches in his chest at the comment. Kneeling down, he looks up at the Prince and shakes his head. “No, I would never do such a thing. I’m sorry that I overreacted.” 

“I’m sorry I’m such a slob.” Two arms wrap around his neck, Ignis taken aback by the sudden affection that Noctis is sharing with him. It only takes a second for it to register, and then his arms go around him to hold him in a close embrace. “I’ve kept it clean.” Noctis sniffles near his ear. 

Hugging him close, Ignis nods his head. “I know. I can see that. Unless the reason you’re not sleeping in your room is because that’s where you’ve placed all the trash.” 

“No. I haven’t been able to sleep in there since you left.” 

He keeps his arms around him, and helps Noctis stand up. “I’m here now.” 

“Don’t go. Stay with me tonight.” 

It’s a suggestion he knows he should refuse, but after the absence it feels good to be back in Noctis’ presence. He doesn’t say yes or no, and instead leads Noctis through the apartment, and takes him into the bedroom. Once they’re in there, he slips out of his clothes, but keeps his undershirt and boxers on as he gets under the covers with Noctis. Immediately Noctis is back in his arms, hugging him like he’s afraid that he’s going to leave. 

“Mmm...you’re warm.” Noctis mumbles against his neck, as they cuddle under the covers in such a way they used to when they were younger. Except now there’s a growing feeling that there’s something changing between them - a change that he should shy away from, but he can’t help himself. 

Closing his eyes, he holds him a little closer. “If it’s too hot, I can go and rinse off.” 

“No, I like it.” His stomach rolls, as their bodies shift a little under the covers. “Ignis, I’m really sorry for the way I acted. Please - don’t do that again?” 

“I won’t.” He murmurs, not realizing how badly Noctis had been affected by his silent treatment. “I’m sorry, Noctis.” Turning his head, he brushes a kiss against his temple. 

Noctis turns his head, startling him with a kiss to his lips. But he doesn’t pull away from it. Instead, his hand goes to the back of his head, his fingers curling into raven strands as he opens his mouth for Noctis to explore with his tongue. Both men moan at the new touches to each other’s bodies, their kisses taking on a life of their own as their limbs tangle together with a need to be closer to one another. 

Ignis breaks off the kiss to take a few deep breaths, while Noctis returns his head to the crook of his neck. “You promise you’re not going to stay away again?”

“I won’t, Noctis. You have my word.” He hugs him close. “Let’s sleep. I think you need it.” 

A soft snore drifts into his ear, Noctis already asleep in his arms. Smiling, Ignis lays another kiss to his temple. It had been a mistake to go on as long as he did with this ruse, but now that they have a better understanding of each other, it might have been the best thing for the two of them. Closing his eyes, Ignis falls asleep as he keeps Noctis close to him. They will have more disagreements, but Ignis will keep his word to Noctis - this won’t happen again.

Friday 11th June, Character Design Adaptation: Puppet Construction and Other Bits

My Puppet  was actually one of the first things I finished on this project but I hadn’t had a chance to blog about it until now.

SO, here’s the process.

This was the template I drew out for Angel Delights top. It was easy to use and did it’s job.

I constructed the body using a piece of twisted wire, milliput and foam. I photographed this base next to the wand prop for scale and I was pretty hapy with how this was looking so far. I thought the hands were very successful and I  wanted to make the legs thick because it was important for the trousers to be puffy.

A close up of the hand. I put a wad of milliput for the palm and then placed 5 single wires in it for the fingers. Then covered it with foam. It works quite well and since clowns usually wear white gloves, I decided to leave them like this down the line.

I struggled  a bit with the head. I tried to make it the same shape as my drawing but found that incredibly difficult to do. I used a FIMO porcelain look polymer clay but I think I over baked it because it went a bit orange on some parts. Nothing a bit of paint couldn’t fix.

Little sneak peek of the top. Ruffles and all!

Yes that is blood. As you can see. I tried to make the feet out of hard foam but the material showed to be too brittle and I actually gave myself a bit of a gash. 

I learnt from this and decided to make the feet/shoes out of bulsa wood instead and this worked much better.

AND WHALA! 

THIS is the result!

On the face I used standard acrylic paints. the top was made from one of my mums old tank tops, as was the hat, and for the hair I used a bath sponge. This made the hair super big. I like how puffy it is and up close it gives a really interesting texture that could possibly be likened to curls.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I’m not sure whether this turnaround really works but it gets the point across. Unfortunately I was unable to produce an animated turnaround due to the pandemic and personal issues.

As you can see, my puppet doesn’t look exactly like my original character design and I did take some creative liberties, such as making the shirt ruffles the same colour as the collar and trousers. Not only because it was easier to construct but I think it actually makes it pop more. 

Aaaaand This Is the cast Line up! Unfortunately I have lost the individual files of each character. They some how got corrupted. As long as they’re on the cast line up I think its ok. I’m overall happy with how this turned out. I think the scale is good an realistic and I think it’s believable that these characters are part of the same story. From Left to right; Angel Delight, Bunt Cake and Candy Floss.

I also came to a decision regarding the final design of my Hyde character. 

For this design I took the colours from Angel delights design and just made them darker. This was to illustrate that, although Berry Tart isn’t real and is not Angel Delight. They are an extension of their subconscious and the colour palette should reflect that. for the design of the attire, I took inspiration from classic harlequin jester designs as well as features from the design of Maleficent and Cruella De Vile from Disney.
