Ffxv Gladiolus - Blog Posts

There is a pun in this picture.

A) Royal Olympics, faster higher stronger.

B) Ignis announced a vegetable only week.

C) Gladio announced extra early morning training hours.

just a really nice shot

GLADIO!!! No!!!

Chocobros and the Power of Lucii.

Feeling lonely? Time for some group shots.

Noctis slides into battle.

And Gentiana doesn't seem to be ready for this dance.

Noctis describes today's Tumblr mood. Dear follower bots, come at me bro, my blocklist has enough spaces for all of you. 😉

You come across this sentence a few times in the game, that you beat something Regis couldn't. It makes me ask, is Noctis more active and stronger then his dad back in the day? Or just massively more reckless?

Nearly perfect lighting on this group shot, nearly.

Spend too much time (again) on frogs in ponds but Prompto only had eyes for Gladio.

And before I exclude him again, Prompto seem to be comfortable with his buddies from back home.

Hold up... That's a lot of attention to... My..

This... Stuff.

I really appreciate it, but I am overwhelmed.

So... Thank you? ❤️

I see and love every single like, reposts are awesome because I can read stuff you guys think and everything is just cool. 😊

So an additional sleepy note for today.

As well as just one question, Gladio what are you doing? Nobody judges your bodyguard qualities for the reckless price but... A bit less obvious please? Ignis is definitely better at hiding in a crowd, less helpful on keeping an eye on your leige. Prompto probably run after a Chocobo, not sure.

Since I got a new follower, thought that would be a worth occasion to celebrate and honor :) you know who you are.

And thank you for all the likes as well.

Was honestly surprised Prompto would pull out his camera during the negotiation in Altissia, think that's the only picture I ever got from the background of that room.

And it had to be the ever vigilant shield of course.

How does it might feel as a sworn shield, being set up to fail? All your efforts, hours and blood concluding in single thing you can't change. You can't protect your king from the next, the last thing and it's just a few hours ahead...

First question, how many drivers lost their orientation on their way out to make this necessary?

It's a really small but neat detail.

While the elevator buttons are nicely fittet into the overall decor, I can't get over how much the emergency exit signs are bothering me. Everything fits so well and this...

They even got the elevator level buttons just perfect:

Anyway, doing the walk through these cold mamorish halls I realise one thing. Great palace, impressive and all. But I would have despised everything if I had to grow up here.

Sometimes you just have to capture the moment.

Goal: Protecting the King by all means.

Reality :

Shield and advisor.

And mom and dad just sometimes need a timeout from their leige.

If you are not prepared, you get burned.

When you master it, you become the fire.

Despite the skills, you have to live with the ash on your skin.

Late update today.

Just on the note of, bug or a jump? Either way it's cute.

Gladio ruins the mood a bit while kinda doing this:

Onwards!

Action shots, leading with the advisor which finally flipped (pun intended).

Was graced with this awesome shot.

So making this shield appreciation day.

Tuesday with terrific timing.

Alternatively, where did your arm go?

Monday decided to tilt a bit but stayed upright.

As promised, more.

Let's call today's motto... Eye for details.

Happy Friday everyone.

Gladio as the violin hamster as per my friends request

Gladiolus Amicita SFW alphabet.

Warnings: none.

Felt like doing another one, so here we go! Remember to leave requests for any characters you would like to see next!

Enjoy! ❤

--------------------------------------------------

A - Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)

Gladio doesn't care where you are, he'll always show affection to you. He loves to be affectionate towards you in many ways- be it grabbing your waist and pulling you in, or something like head rubs and messing your hair up a little- he does love seeing you like that.

B - Best Friend (What would they be like as a best friend? Where does the friendship start?)

He's the motivational friend, but not the 'you can do it', kind of motivational, oh no. It's more... 'Get your head outta your ass and pull yourself together' kind of motivation.

C - Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)

He will happily let you cuddle up to him. He loves laying on the sofa and having you rest on his chest. Usually he will put an arm around you as you both lay there with blankets keeping you both warm.

D - Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking, cleaning, ect?)

Though he doesn't usually show it, he is actually an amazing cook, especially when it comes to meat, egg, and fish. He tends to steer away from cooking a meal though, and will instead make you both a lovely cup noodle with only the freshest ingredients. Cleaning wise, he isn't the best at cleaning, but he will do so from time to time.

E - Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)

He would only break up with a partner if he had a very good reason to. For example, if you were being purposely rude, or if his royal duties prevented him from being with you. In the first scenario, he would be straight to the point, and wouldn't show much emotion. In the second one, he'd also be straight to the point, but he'd show some emotion. He knows you would understand though, and he hopes you can be together again someday.

F - Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? Do they wanna get married?)

Honestly, I cannot see Gladio getting married. I think he'd be too caught up in his royal duties to want to commit to anything, especially something that would last as long as a marriage. He would also have to make sure you were 'the one' before even considering a full commitment.

G - Gentle (How gentle are they both physically and emotionally?)

Physically, he tries to be as gentle as he can. He does try, really he does, but his chunky body makes it difficult sometimes. Emotionally, he won't be very gentle if you're sulking like a baby- he'll most likely tell you to snap back to reality, but if you really are struggling, he might give you a hug or two. He's not the greatest at advice, but he will give you an amazing pep talk.

H - Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it, and what are they like?)

He loves them. He will do it whenever, wherever, as long as you are okay with it. His hugs are usually warm, and he's able to properly embrace you- his large self makes sure of that.

I - I Love You (How fast do they say the “love” word?)

Slowly. He doesn't want to commit to anything too quickly, and these words are only really words he uses with his very close family, and even then, it's on very rare occasions.

J - Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What are they like when jealous?)

Gladio doesn't get openly jealous. Yes, he will get jealous, but he doesn't show it. If you're flirting with another, he'll silently observe you until you're alone, or until he can't take it anymore, in which case he'll drag you away and have a word with you.

K - Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)

Gladio likes to be explorative about his kisses- particularly where he kisses you. He'll sometimes go for the fingers, maybe the cheek, but his absolute favorite thing to do, is lift you up and kiss your forehead.

L - Little Ones (How are they around kids?)

This man is amazing around kids. He'll make sure that they're always happy, and if they're not, he'll try and cheer them up. He acts like an older sibling to children... though, he's not at all prepared to have his own kids.

M - Morning (What are mornings like with them?)

Mornings with Gladio are usually non-existent. The truth is, he wakes up at the early hours in the morning to train, so unless you're willing to wake up at 4am and go on a run, you don't see him in the morning until breakfast time.

N - Nights (How are nights spent with them?)

Usually very slow. Gladio stays awake at night not only to kill some daemons, but also... to play games on his phone. He loves it when you're able to stay up late too and play some games with him.

O - Open (When do they open up about themselves?)

Never. He doesn't see a need for such sob stories, and he especially doesn't want to upset you. If anything ever comes up with everyone else opening up or telling people anything, he'll just remain silent.

P - Patience (How easily angered are they?)

Very easily. I mean, only a few things anger him, but those few things are... well, quite common. First of all, Noct can be infuriating from time to time. Another thing that tends to anger him is people that try to hurt Noctis. They try to hurt him? Oh well, he's expendable. But Noctis...? He will not be having that today, no siree.

Q - Quizzes (How much do they remember about you?)

E V E R Y T H I N G. You can tell this man anything, and he will remember it. Sometimes he even remembers word for word what you rant about. It's not like this man has a good memory, it's just... he's very observant of you.

R - Remember (Favorite memory with you?)

When you went to Galdin Quay and sat on the beaches... with a pot of cup noodles in both of your hands. In his eyes, there's nothing better than the sea breeze as you eat, and the way your hair was flowing in the wind was just magnificent to him. After you finished your noodles, the two of you had a mini water fight in the shallows of the sea water.

S - Security (How protective are they?)

There's not a word to describe how protective he is. He will stick by your side, 24/7, and his reflexes are the best you ever did see. If someone was shooting at you, he'd take all the bullets for you. If someone was out to assassinate you, likelihood is, he'd spy the assassin and kill them before they had the chance to even touch you.

T - Tears (Do they ever cry? Are they open about it, and why do they cry?)

Very rarely. In fact, the only time Gladio cries is when he loses a loved one, or a dear friend. Even then, it's not a lot of tears, and he will pull himself together after a while, and keep pushing forward. He only wants to impress you, even in the afterlife.

U - Ugly (What are their bad habits?)

His sarcasm. This may not seem bad at first, but when he's making a sarcastic remark every two sentences, it does become a bit of a problem, especially at times where he's supposed to be serious.

V - Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)

For the most part, Gladio doesn't care much how he looks, but he will do little things, like making sure his hair and beard is well groomed, and presentable.

W - Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)

Short awnser- yes. Long awnser... Gladio would indeed feel incomplete without you, but he wouldn't show it. He wouldn't say anything. He'd just suffer without you, but he'd always keep fighting.

X - Xtra (Random HC)

He teaches you how to forage. This man loves nothing more than to go out into the woods with absolutely nothing with him, and just... survive. A big part of this is foraging, and he will teach you what all the best things to eat and pick are.

Y - Yuck (Things they don’t like either in general or a partner?)

Gladio doesn't like people who nitpick at every little detail. He wants to be who he is and do what be wants, without having anyone criticise him for being the way he is.

Z - Zzz (Sleep habits)

His sleep habits are all over the place. Sometimes, he'll stay up late, and wake up late, sometimes he'll stay up late and wake up early, or sometimes he might not just sleep at all. The man has no sleep pattern.
