Kings of Lucis, lend me your strength!

Happy (belated) 5th anniversary, Episode Ignis. I love you.

i know its nothing much (im in the mid of a big art slump), i just cant stop thinking about episode ignis extra verse so i drew this at 3am

i need to give this man a hug and a cup of chamomile tea [text on the image says "If thou dost to save the King, a sacrifice must be made"]

The thing is that while both Gladio and Ignis have servant positions and Gladio is more clearly associated with the weapon role, there is more ties around Gladio that do not unilaterally tie him to Noctis. In a way, the fact that the whole Amicitia name is branded as the king's shield de-objectifies the concept: Gladio is born to serve, the way his father was born to serve, but that is a relationship they have together, and Gladio has ties with Cor too. His DLC, while also tied to his worth as a servant, is still mostly something he does for himself and his father, separated from the group. Overall, while it is fun to examine the lengths of his devotion and obedience, the story diffuses the objectifying nature of it, making him an element of the crown rather than a guard dog for Noctis alone.

Ignis gets nothing of all that. While he is not sworn servant at birth, he is sworn young enough that the difference isn't felt. He has a family, we are told, but it never becomes relevant. The story doesnt give him anyone. Instead, everything about him is made about Noctis - every flash back and anime episode and DLC, is made about his use to Noctis as a person and Noctis' bodily integrity especially. And he is willing to sacrifice his own integrity for him.

This is the compelling argument about objectification--not that he is a weapon, or a guard, or a savior, but that he is also the cook and the driver and the guy who cleans the apartment. and nothing else. nothing but an extension of, not even Noctis' will, but simply Noctis' existence. So unwilling to exist in a reality that doesn't include him, so incapable of it, that he gets an alternate reality just so he can save - and continue to serve - his prince.

I felt like there weren't enough so I made some gifs from episode Ignis

Discovered voice messages are a thing on discord and now I’m going to become a menace in @paraminarifts DM’s daily.

I can’t believe I’ve only recently noticed that the scourge leaves Ardyn part way through this scene!

I know I am a bad judge of character bc when I first played FFXV and met Ardyn I was like “this guy is cool as hell…I trust him.”

My face when Altissia happened: 😦
