(This is based off the JPN version but stick with me)
His unabashed love for his friends and his family
The fact that he is super excited to do things with Noct: fishing, flower picking, running
His generally playful and cheerful demeanour: the joy in his voice always makes me smile
Tiddy
He fought a 2000yo god-like figure (after knowing that Noct would be safe with Ignis and the other CG members at Caem) to better give himself the ability and experience to protect Noct the way he was supposed to
He’s a big, soft nerd who would rip off heads if his boy was in danger
Other tiddy
His sneezes? Cute??
HE NAMED HIS KING’S KNIGHT CHARACTER AFTER HIS FAVOURITE AUTHOR, WHO WROTE THOSE BIG-ASS OLD HISTORICAL NOVELS HE READS
And who gave this blog its name
He keeps at least THREE of those books on him (green, red and blue)
His official bio says he has a “優しくプレイボーイ” side, so he’s flirty but he’s GOOD about it
This entire scene in the drama CD (the prologue was actually translated pretty faithfully, so it’s a good look at his JPN character), but especially his tone and laugh at the very end
He probably (definitely) gives the BEST HUGS
He would die for Noctis without thinking twice about it: not just because he’s the Chosen King, but because he’s Noct and Gladio loves him
Shadow-Lover, you alone can know How
I long to reach a point of peace How I fade with weariness and
woe How I long for you to bring release. Shadow-Lover, court me
in my dreams Bring the peace that suffering redeems.
@rhysfire talked me into making gifs for them and it was actually pretty fun. Ignore my poor scarred-up hand–my cat keeps forgetting I’m not actually part of his toy when I’m playing with him.
