my favorite thing is monsters learning how some humans live and just being ‘you live like this?’ in shocked horror
I mean. One of my favorite things is the monster adopting the human.
Human: Lives in pretty much a literal hole, nothing to fuck up or lose if its broken into or anything.
Monster: Okay fuck this noise you’re my child now. I don’t care if you’re a grown ass adult you’re my kid now come on, I’ve got an empty house that needs some life in it. Also for fucks sakes we’re going clothes shopping.
Human: *Bemused blinking*
honestly? same.
but also imagine this with ardyn and some 16-24 year old he finds living in terrible conditions.
Okay but like.
The entire Galahdian Refugee sector.
This is Insomnia. Why are they barely surviving? This is the *glittering crown jewel* his brother fucked him over for. Why are people *suffering* here?
Why is this barely-fledged teenager living in a firetrap above a cesspit, with no bed, and his only clothes being his work uniforms, which belong to the Crown anyhow, legally?
Why *The Fuck*.
And oops that’s how Ardyn adopts all the feral Glaives and ends up with a couple dozen kids that are also proficient in murder and mayhem.
Ace and Nyx, young, terrible, with *nothing* after their lives burn down. Before they get back on their feet. And Ardyns heart breaks because shit dude that’s his family. Living like this.
Oh shit he still has a heart. That’s. Well that’s a Problem.
Shit he has *nephews*.
It’s time to go shopping, children. Uncle Ardyn is here to take care of you now.
…Now you made me want Ace and Co. to all stay in Insomnia together and-
Well. The refugee sector sucks. But they make do, and because they need more money and Selena is still too young to join the Glaive, well, Ace joins. And he finds it stupidly easy to lie and Regis’ magic doesn’t even touch Ace’s magic because Ace has his own magic so tight under wraps.
So Ace is a Glaive. And Ardyn comes by and somehow winds up adopting all of the Galahdian Glaives because he gives them things like blankets and coats and food and is generally nicer to them than the Insomnians.
Ace has never been more grateful for his uncle.
(Also now the Reveal is so much funnier because Regis probably met Glaive Ace at least once and didn’t notice that Ace was his kid.
The only reason that Regis even finds out is because Ace is standing guard at some important meeting with Nyx and Lib and Crowe and then Nyx gets stabbed and Ace completely ignores Regis’ magic and reaches for his own instead and disappears in a warp and silts the man who stabbed Nyx’s throat in one easy motion.
Everyone can tell the magic Ace just used wasn’t the kings because said magic was purple. Ace ignores everyone expect Lib and Crowe and because he’s out of shits to give at this point, pulls an elixir out of the armiger and slams it into Nyx. It halts the bleed and heals Nyx and then, only when he’s reassured that Nyx is stable. Does he turn his attention to the dumbfounded nobility and royalty around him.
He scowls and waves.)

I LOVE THIS. And just.
This is an Ace who doesn’t particularly like or trust Insomnians. He’s very much like Libertus in that - he keeps it under wraps, but it’s hard to be generous and congenial to people who (almost literally) spit on you every time you walk by. Yes, he knows that not everyone is like that, but - the Galahdians rarely ever meet people like that.
Regis is one of the few notable exceptions. Ace genuinely likes what he’s seen of his father, and holds no ill will towards him. He’s trying. And the few opportunities he’s had to guard the Prince - well, sometimes Prince Noctis can be a brat, but he’s not a bad kid.
But it’s Uncle Ardyn who came to them when they were starving, and brought food and water and blankets. It’s Uncle Ardyn, who actually dipped into his past as a healer and helped them stitch up their wounds. It’s Uncle Ardyn who Ace went on roadtrips with during his (very exceptionally few) periods of leave to gather the Royal Arms and complete his Armiger. He likes his father, and he’s sworn an oath to him, but it’s Uncle Ardyn who holds his loyalty.
This is - rather heartbreaking for Regis. He has another son. A galahdian son, who he’s literally known for years, and he never noticed. And his firstborn son never - never felt that he could come to him. Never thought he could trust him; his son, oh his son, who has lived in poverty and joined up with the Glaives to keep his family from starving, who has fought and bled and died and - oh, his son.
(Meanwhile, a great deal of nobles are quietly freaking the fuck out, thinking of everything they’ve ever said or done or implied about the Galahdians.)
