Blind

Tries his best to see the metaphorical light side.

But it’s increasingly difficult.

Worries that he’ll become “obsolete”

Cooking is difficult, now.

You got into a shouting match the first time you wouldn’t let him use a knife.

But you both found a way for him to learn.

Everything is slow now.

Painstakingly slow to Ignis.

From walking, to cooking, to simple tasks.

He despises it.

Has always helped everyone else, so it takes time for him to come to terms with needing help, himself.

He thinks he’s useless, simply because he needs help.

It makes him extraordinarily bitter for some time.

You try to involve him: “Hey, how did you make this recipe?”

“You can read the book better than I…”

But he finds himself useful and foolish,

When you’re out on a hunt and lost in the darkness.

The four of you are separated, alone, and crying out for each other.

But the sheer black is suffocating.

Everyone is helpless without their sight…

Except him.

He is used to it and he can do this.

He saves everyone that day.

And is in tears at how foolish he has been all this time.

After that, it’s a matter of simply being one card short.

He is only missing one sense, after all.

And if anyone can figure this out, it’s him.

But you are his light...

Some more screenshots I took, when I should have done something else... XD

While the groom awaits 🌸

Okay. Okay. I had to get the image out of my system. Of course it looked way more elegant with a beautiful pair of hands but as I was unable to, have this little sketch of Iggy with the crown.

That (or at least a similar) picture came to me after reading this little ficlet from @triplehelix. It’s a continuation of her absolutely gorgeous Ignoct fic “let him be the king of ashes”. Read it if you haven’t yet, it’s really good.

I had some free time so I decided to draw Ignis, so here it is, a little sketch of the handsome adviser.
