I wrote that big ol’ post awhile ago and took a lot more screenshots than I ended up using. doing some research for things I’ve been looking back at them, so I thought I’d share because (fingerguns) them lucis caelum boys.

I think it’s Neat ardyn and somnus both have access to the armiger and summon their weapons with their respective color. 

incidentally, gilgamesh in the gladio dlc has a purple color scheme -- with separate flourishes of blue and red with different attacks. meanwhile, gladio’s sword glows with a blue aura throughout the dlc. (whispers) symbolism...

I really don’t have anything substantial to say about this, at least for now. I just wanted to share with yall

I think a lot about this pic squenix posted for noct’s birthday

especially how ignis looks on contentedly while ravus charges up an attack because noct’s hoverhanding his sister Again

I will be with you always.

I've never read/heard a line in the canon works that said they were to rule together. In the anime it seemed that Ardyn was truly chosen and Somnus literally took it away from him? Unless you can refresh my memory and point to a line that states this brother kings thing?

I’ll maybe grab a proper cap of it later, but the description of ardyn’s sword, the rakshasa blade, reads like this:

“...One half of a pair, the Rakshasa Blade was forged alongside the Blade of the Mystic, beloved blade of Ardyn’s younger brother Somnus Lucis Caelum. Both blades possess different properties, forming a devastatingly destructive arsenal when wielded together. While one can assume both swords were imbued with the hope that the Brothers Caelum would rule in tandem, envy and ambition ultimately tore the two apart.”

the hope was there at least ;w; 

the lore for xv is all over the place so ultimately WHO KNOWS it’s nice to think about the boys and their swords working together tho who even made these swords? was reggie’s sword called sword of the father when he received it? who made it? who made any of the phantom swords/royal arms? THIS IS A HOLE WITH NO BOTTOM 

THANK YOU FOR this insightful reply! discussion is Good especially re: ardyn and somnus because there’s so much to talk about goddamn
