The Chocobros as a performing string quartet (2 violins, 1 viola, and 1 cello).

Are you asking for headcanons, or trying to see if I get triggered for some headcanons, or just suggesting?

Because I’m triggered and sharing headcanons anyway. :’D

Prompto and Noctis at the violins.

Ignis at the viola.

Gladio’s at the cello.

Ignis had started as first violin.

Noctis has always been too lazy to practice with frequency.

No first violin for him.

Plus, he insist he doesn’t want to be spotlight.

So Ignis had taken first violin, and Prompto had started learning with the viola.

Ignis damn masters violin.

But he got tired of Prompto whining every five minutes that “Nobody likes viola.”

Also got tired of Noctis trying to take advantage of his wonderful skills and trying to leave the work of both violins to Ignis.

“For the last time, Noctis, while I can play both parts I cannot do it at once.”

“Not so much of an expert player now, are you?”

Ignis is pretty f*cking mad.

Also got tired of Gladio laughing at Prompto’s every-five-minutes “Nobody likes viola.”

Exhausted when Noctis joined in with jokes about how nobody likes viola and how viola players are unknown.

So Ignis is leaving first violin to get the wonderful harmony pad that is viola.

He f*cking damn adores violas.

They’re not as whiny as violins but not as deep and uncomfortable as cellos.

They be perfect.

Ignis doesn’t understand why “nobody likes violas.”

Goodbye, stress of first violin.

Besides, that’s putting Prompto and Noctis in their place.

Iggy leaving the “biggest” responsibility and giving it to them is taking them out of their comfort zone, so it’s going to be healthy to them, according to him.

Prompto takes first violin, even when Noct started with a little more skill.

…Noct still refuses with all his might to ever take first violin, that’s why.

Gladio with 33 y.o. Gladio’s hair carrying his cello at his back.

Nothing about it, just have the mental image.

He looks SO GOOD.

You don’t ever say “Pachelbel’s Canon” in front of Gladio.

He’s going to either murder you or have a mental breakdown.

“It’s everywhere.”

“It’s following me”

“It’s HELL.”

Have you looked at the cello sheet for that??

Sadly it’s very requested in weddings and graduations.

Cellist Gladio’s going to murder everyone.

He’s rotting in boredom.

He’s playing with this blank expression and dropped the head like he died.

Nooooote….noooote….nooooote….nooooote…nooooote….nooooote…

“Somebody please shove the cello up my ass, I don’t wanna play anymore.”

“IT’S THREE NOTES, PEOPLE, AND I’M DOING IT OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AN-”

Noctis is always late for rehearsals.

Gladio sometimes has to miss a rehearsal and makes the guys have it moved to another day.

Ignis is on fire out of pure rage whenever ANYTHING interrupts with the schedules.

He LOVES precise schedules. He HATES to move anything about them.

He hates Noctis for arriving late.

He hates Gladio for changing days.

He hates Prompto just…because…he…

Because this needs to be balanced, he can’t show preference for any of the guys, so he hates Prompto too.

He really hates no one, just be patient with him, he’s a cupcake.

Noctis has Ignis do everything about his violin.

Broken string.

“Iggy, repair it.”

Untuned.

“*sigh* Too much work. Iggy, do it.”

Still untuned.

“*sigh* WHY ARE YOU TAKING SO LONG, IGNIS”

“YOUR HIGHNESS, WITH ALL RESPECT, I’M TUNING BOTH INSTRUMENTS AT ONCE, HAVE YOU EVER TRIED TUNING A VIOLA, CAN YOU PLEASE NOT-”

some strings of the arch broken?

“…Iggy.”

Okay, time to rehearse.

“…Ignis, can you-”

“No. I’ve told you multiple times I cannot play both instruments at once and nobody can, sit down and play the goddamn thing.”

Prompto practices often and is a good boy.

But he has flaws too.

Prompto tends to forget his music sheets.

Prompto forgot his music sheets the day they had a presentation.

Prompto’s subtly, secretly reading from Noctis’ lectern.

“It’s not the same notes than in my sheets , ajskslmfdsmk”

Prompto, of course not, it was obvious.

He’s just doing this quicksilver (hah, get it?) light-speed mental process of reading what’s on Noctis’ sheets and then make it two notes higher so he’s making harmony instead of playing the same than him and makes it sound like it’s a practiced song.

You know, that takes one good prepared musician.

Good kid Prompto.

Gladio’s tired of the cellists’ nightmare-

“WOW, that’s a super big violin, hahaha!”

No.

“WOW, that’s one hella big case! Why not something smaller like flute?”

“Sweetie, maybe you prefer smaller things, but I prefer my stuff to be like everything about me. Big. Ridiculously big. Uncomfortably big. Not my fault you can’t handle anything bigger than a flute. ;)”

Gladio, you don’t say that to a 80 y.o. lady.

Gladio makes fun of how long the others take to tune themselves.

But Gladio has faults too.

He tends to forget to secure the spike.

There’s sensual, dark Gladio playing the cello, fingers in vibrato, eyes closed, face drowned in mystery and feelings..

…Wop, he’s not there anymore.

Hahahaha, hope you got that.

Okay but we all should have mercy on Gladio. He’s constantly switching between three clefs (is that spelled correctly, omg, non speaker over here).

Gladio’s constantly forgetting the sheet changed the clef at some point.

Gladio has spent 3 months playing and rehearsing an entirely different thing to the one written there.

Cellist Gladio is curled up in the couch wrapped in a blanket, please bring him ice cream :’(

“ALL THIS PRACTICING FOR NOTHING, I HAVE TO START OVER,, WHY DID IGNIS NEVER POINT IT OUT!?”

Ignis is the devil.

Gladio’s devil you don’t speak about is Pachelbel’s canon,right?

Well, Ignis’ devil you don’t speak about is Ravel’s bolero.

Have you seen the music sheet for viola?

“It’s everywhere.”

“Please do not mention it.”

Ignis is going to set you on fire if you request it.

“We’re a string quartet, not an orchestra.”

“But you can arrange it for string quartet, rig-”

“No.”

IT’S THE SAME NOTES FOR FIFTEEN MINUTES.

Prompto is STILL making fun of violas.

He’s calling it Big Useless Violin.

“Yo, Nocto, I figured how to keep anyone from wanting to steal your violin. Just keep it in a viola case.”

“Violists have a bruise on the neck from the amount of time we spend with the instrument on it. You know where viola players have it? On their thigh.”

(don’t worry, it took me 10 minutes to get that one.)

“Gladio, what’s the difference between a coffin and a viola? The coffin has the dead person on the inside.”

The three are losing their shit.

Ignis is calmly planning their murder.

“Oi, Prompto” it’s Ignis, “that was fantastic, I am so amused. Do you know what a second minor is? You two playing in unison.”

Gladio just left his cello to jump out of his chair screaming OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH.

“BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURN”.

Gladio’s NEVER forgetting that burn.

Prompto stopped the jokes for a week.

He’s retaking them.

Because REALLY NO ONE LIKES VIOLAS, IGNIS.

Okay but

The guys in suits

Playing their respective instruments.

Dear god, anon, the gods BLESS YOUR HEAD.

Have this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LPXcLc0ALM

Tried looking for a good XV theme, but, have that one instead. Ya should hear to the end. 2:31 and ahead is one hella AMAZING theme.

Okay, but don’t look at YT, switch to another tab and just mentalize the XV chocobros playing it.

I love this.

GODS, you don’t send me music involved stuff, I LOVE THE HECK OUT OF THAT AND GET SO TRIGGERED.

Thanks, anon!
