I have no good excuse for the title, really.

I originally attempted the angst prompt of sharing holiday memories after the passing of a loved one, but it turned into a tangled headcanon mess that was only tangentially related to your prompt. SO! Have some overenthusiastic outdoor-living buff!Gladio and his first snow day. I hope you like it!

“Snow? In My Insomnia?” It’s More Likely Than You Think! 

(ffxv, Gladio & Noctis & Prompto & Ignis T)

Scientists had been saying for years that Eos's climate would change because of the Glacian's murder, but no one could have predicted the two feet of snow that buried Insomnia.

Gladio Amicitia was ready. He had his new snowshoes and a magazine on snow shelters. (And, oh yeah, maybe some friends too.)

There was snow in Insomnia. Meteorologists had been saying for years that weather patterns across all of Eos were likely to shift, what with the death of Shiva in the Empire and all. Gladio’d written a report about it for his tutor a few years ago, read all of Dr. Yeagre’s research about the changing environment, as well as reports by meteorologists from inside and outside of Gralea. The ones from Gralea had a challenge to dig up, but definitely worth it. So much speculation buried deep in Niff newspapers that it’d taken him days to translate. Modern Niff bore little resemblance to Medieval Niff. And his knowledge of the medieval stuff was basically regulated to the vocab from the great romances and ballads.

1: Always post the rules. 2: Answer my questions and ask 11 new questions. 3: Tag 11 (i'm only tagging 6) blogs and link them below. 4: Tell the blogs they are tagged

1) Favourite hockey bromance/ship? it has to be sid/geno, especially given that they were one of the first hockey-related things i got spammed with. and they're precious babies. <3

2) Favourite/least favourite hockey player? favourite - guh i have too many. but, first on the list is probably mister marc-andre fleury, followed closely behind by most of the penguins and coyotes.

least favourite - ehh, i don't really have one at this stage? 

3) What’s your favourite live-action movie? as of today, the book thief. beforehand it was short circuit.

4) What’s your favourite animated movie? ehh, that's a hard one. probably hoodwinked.

5) What’s the best compliment you’ve ever gotten? strangely enough, probably when i was informed that i made studying look easy. which happens a lot.

6) If you could meet any player in person, who would you meet? uhhh. hm. probably sid. do i need to expand on why?

7) If you could do anything as a job and receive a good salary, what would you do? i'd like to say writing, but these days roleplaying is about the only writing i do. so, i'd probably do something with photography, maybe not so much journalism, but anything involving a camera.

8) If you could meet any non-hockey-related celebrity in person, who would you meet? nathan fillion, hands down.

9) Have you ever meet a celebrity in person? Hockey-related or not? nope. if only.

10) Forward, defense, or goalie? goaliiiie. i have an affinity to goalies in all sports.

11) Saving the best for last: who are you rooting for in the Olympics, and, which player will you be sad to see compete against your team? see, that's the best part about being australian, when it comes to hockey there are no compulsory teams that need to be supported. so, i'll probably be rooting for about every team. it'll be a game-day decision. so in saying that, i can't really answer the second half.

MY QUESTIONS:

1) What movie are you most excited for that's coming out this year?

2) What book series that hasn't previously been made into a movie series would you like to see adapted?

3) Favourite television series?

4) If you had to leave your current country and could only move to a place where your first language is not the main of the country, where would you go?

5) Your access to youtube is incredibly limited, to where you can only watch videos from one user. Which channel would you pick?

6) What's your favourite animal and why?

7) If you could pick to have a skill that you currently don't already have, what would you pick?

8) What's your favourite place to be when in the wilderness (e.g. forests, mountains, lakes, etc.)

9) Who would you call your guilty pleasure music artist?

10) You can work for any company doing whatever you're passionate about. Who would you work for?
