You could've said something as simple as "William Blake is overrated" and that would have been highly controversial. Come now, Prompto, don't overlook what's always so obvious.
[It's mostly teasing. But the young man's mind is all over the place; V wishes he could instill a small amount of focus in that skull.]
'Let those who are in favour with their stars Of public honour and proud titles boast, Whilst I, whom fortune of such triumph bars, Unlook'd for joy in that I honour most.'
Favour. Honour. British spelling, in accordance to Shakespeare being an English poet. It's a matter of region.
okay but i don't actually think he's overrated? i like his poems, they sound nice and i found a website that translates their meaning for us literary plebs and they got a nice message to them
[sorry, he's pretty open about his thoughts. not a drop of cynicism.]
so it's not only for like fancy, royal people? that's cool
hey you didn't answer my question about your griffon buddy
You know of actual griffons? The hybrid of lion and eagle of legendary yore?
Shadow is the panther.
[Sort of. All of these are not quite as they initially appear, and Shadow is no exception. A beast that changed shape, spikes and razor blade edges to cut and slice into enemies.]
if i were in front of you i'd be hitting you with one of my classic 'you really think i know about ""actual"" earth griffons' looks
i know what an eagle is but i don't know what a lion is yes yes i already image searched it and we don't have anything like it it's kinda like that panther animal? ohhh big cats!
funny how eos has some animals like earth, even with the same names, and then others just don't have any presence whatsoever
Expand your knowledge, and soon. You can get away with not knowing what a lion is in my company, but not so much in the company of the natives of this world.
They belong in the realm of myth on earth, though that doesn't mean Nightmare is the only example. In fact, "golem" is just an easy way to comprehend what it is.
At any rate, it's the larger of the three. The strongest, too.
When there is fighting, it's against demons that are often found their way to the human realm.
[Sometimes... his/Vergil's fault... don't @ him]
So combat knowledge is required if you want to best them. I can attack with my cane in a very rudimentary way, of course, but I leave the heavy lifting to my familiars.
i still have a hard time wrapping my head around you choosing to get into the fray of things considering but if i had familiars to fight with i probably would do the same
you're weird
[LMAO]
but in like an interesting way
[prompto would be one to say anything about someone who doesn't belong in the battlefield being in it, as he himself wasn't necessarily battle material either.]
anyway, so, maybe i'll show you my tattoo some time! tell me what you think and all that

i've been reading this shakespeare's sonnet 25 since last week and i think i've almost cracked its meaning
again: i think
the one that goes "let those who are in favour with their stars" (what's with the u in favor??)

And no, not fancy, royal people. Those from a different part of the world.
[To put it simply.]
Griffon? Consider him the size of an overly large eagle.
no subject
[
crushingv's a cool guy, why would prompto do that? it's just the facts of life.]oh, so slightly bigger than a bird, then
that's pretty tiny for the type of griffons i know
the other one's a panther, right?
no subject
Shadow is the panther.
[Sort of. All of these are not quite as they initially appear, and Shadow is no exception. A beast that changed shape, spikes and razor blade edges to cut and slice into enemies.]
The other is called Nightmare.

[ANYWAY,]
griffon, shadow, and nightmare
cool names
what's nightmare?
no subject
Nightmare is
[uuuuh what is nightmare]
a construct. Do you know what a golem is?
no subject
urgh i guess.. i'm just bad at studying
i get distracted a lot
[no fucking kidding]
no subject
yeah, we got something familiar to what those are
so are golems normal on earth?? or is nightmare like the odd one out

don't think i forgot what you said about using your cane to fight if you needed to
