I think a lot about the attitude shift between the very rigid, buttoned-down younger Ignis in the anime and the sassy hips, leopard print, tight pants, and Cuban heels Ignis in the games, and how it seems like as soon as Ignis stopped having to pick up Noct from school he gave up portraying himself to the world like some kind of sexless milquetoast butler.
So here’s the beginnings of a comic about Gladio realizing for the first time that Ignis Fucks.
If anyone in this crew deserves a big beefy dude to smooch at the end of the day to wind down it’s Ignis
Noct finally does a good bro solid for Ignis
This was how chapter 10 went, right?

Made for Seaofolives and Bexii1984, based on a Twitter convo last year.
Full res available on Patreon (and sent to the mentioned parties).
Here’s my art preview for Black & Gold: An Older Gladnis Fanzine.
Terrific first zine experience and I’m floored with what I’ve seen of the other contributions. Gladio and Ignis got a LOT of love in this zine.
Proceeds of the zine will go to Sands, a stillbirth and neonatal death charity in the UK.
Check out and follow the main account of the zine here on Tumblr: @gladnisblackandgoldzine
Head over to their Twitter as well to participate in their fun giveaway for the top bundle. ♥️
Black & Gold: An Older Gladnis Final Fantasy XV Fanzine is now open for pre-orders
Black & Gold Fanzine pre-orders are open!
Very happy to report here that I’ve recently finished my art submission for this charity zine. There are 35 (!) contributors, and the lowest tier for the physical copy is £20, and the highest with all the fantastic merch and add-ons is £50. Lower than I was expecting, considering this has turned out to be a pretty meaty zine. Can’t wait to enjoy all the lovely fics and take in all the amazing illustrations and merch.
The zine itself is mindfully arranged so that one half of the book has Verse I-compliant fanwork, and if you flip the book over, that other half has a different cover and contains Verse II-compliant fanwork. Inside, the contributions meet towards a gorgeous center art spread by LoBennettDraws, showing a depiction of Gladio/Ignis in the game’s Verse I and Verse II endings.
Just look at these mind-blowing covers from the awesome Recipeh for Success:
The zine’s proceeds will go to Sands, a charity for stillbirth and neonatal death in the UK. You can read more about Sands here.
I’ll post a preview of my art submission in a few weeks when it’s allowed.
There’s also a promo where pre-orders on Gladio’s birthday (April 2) for tiers Rosé Gold, Old Golden and Onyx will include a special party sticker designed by XHidaka.
Super grateful to the amazing host and mod team that put together this zine and ensured a smooth experience for us contributors:

Bedtime Story
After a long day, it’s nice to spend a rainy evening cuddled up in the tent with nothing but a good book and the one you love.
Those are the best nights.

His head tipped down as one large booted foot shifted and bumped against his own. He heard the muttered apology, but as the foot didn’t move away Ignis remained, his face tilted in the approximate location the boot would be, trying to visualize the smooth black leather with silver buckles, how it may or may not be obscured by scuffs or mud… or blood…

Three years into the Long Night, Ignis departs from his newfound Lestallum home without warning. Sick of infantilization from his family and intending to wait for Noctis’ eventual return upon the shores of Cape Caem, he shuts out the rest of the world and is content to wait in silence.
But in this world of ruin, nothing is quiet for long.
