Niko took 3 weeks of bed rest to fully recover from UT bc he’d started casting from hp & his aether in/out got reversed (leaking aether by default instead of taking it in & draining hp), so even after it got flipped back to normal, he had to build up to his regular level of reserves again. #NikoLore

This did not stop Niko & Aymeric from dating at the time! But it further strained Niko’s relationship w/his mom, & Niko & Aymeric commiserated over poor parental relations, after a fashion lol #NikoLore

*Niko’s big ol kitty eyes dart around looking for the exit lol* but no really, he is a fairly private person, & while his outlook on being wol has improved over the years, he’s struggled with getting put on a pedestal by some & finds the pressure v uncomfortable sometimes #NikoLore

Fray the real person died in his trial the same day as Alphinaud&Tataru’s trial, & Niko took his soul crystal&sword. Fray/Esteem/“other Niko”/Niko has been around since pre-ARR, but Niko only became aware & started hearing/seeing him after taking the soul crystal. #NikoLore ->

Niko’s Azem is Apollo (he’s like, half Apollo-coded half Horus-coded tho) and Pepita’s is Persephone (heavy on the plant imagery), partly bc I didn’t feel a strong need to reinvent the wheel but also bc their existing thematics/stories already worked for those refs. #NikoLore

Niko will be polite and try to eat it! He will try desperately to find at least one nice thing to say about it, but will also try to sneak culinary advice in there if he can. #NikoLore

Niko is very into this lol please call him a Good Boy. His Various Issues and extremely dangerous and sometimes thankless job have given him a massive praise kink.
Don’t think he’d like to be called a pet specifically, though. That can get weird and racist fast. #NikoLore

Niko loves to bite & loves to claw lol. He also likes to be petted until he purrs. It only becomes weird if the other guy (it could be anyone, ZENOS) makes it weird. #NikoLore

Idk if traveling 12k years into the past & making out with a guy while there counts if your current relationship was not explicitly closed at the time.
Also, he fucked Noctis on the fishing trip, but Noctis wasn’t married *yet*, ok. He’s not gonna meet a handsome prince & not fuck him. #NikoLore

Alisaie in UT: wait they’re dating?
Alphinaud: you didn’t know?

Fourche: wait they’re dating?
Varshahn: you didn’t know? #NikoLore

Niko is changing the tire. Raha is handing him tools when asked and providing moral support (and a second pair of hands as needed). #NikoLore

Niko will hold it in and hold them back until he literally can’t anymore, so when he lets go and cries it’s all loud and messy, big fat Ghibli blob tears #NikoLore

Some are Niko’s shards, some are shards of people he knows/knew, and some are shards of ppl Azem knew that Niko hasn’t necessarily met himself yet. The party members experience the summoning/trial as a dream. #NikoLore

I think ultimately they do decide to have kids, & there’s a timeline where they adopt from Zhloe’s orphanage, & a timeline where Niko says fuck it we ball & fantasias himself for a couple years to bear the child(ren) himself, I just haven’t as the writer decided which one to go with yet. #NikoLore

No, but a few times, he came closer to it than he’d care to admit #NikoLore

Niko juggles BLM/DRK/DRG/WHM through all expansions (DRK not starting til HW), most often BLM/DRK, but I have canon jobs for each dungeon/trial written down.
For x.0 final trials, it’s ARR on BLM, HW on DRK, SB on DRG, SHB on BLM, EW on BLM. I think it’s only DT where his job for things #NikoLore

One of the Niko rules is that he always remembers a person's name, no matter how obscure. This only becomes a problem when he remembers the name and I don't lol #NikoLore

Niko’s done all of em. Both Niko & I have a soft spot for the Namazu, Dwarf, Pixie, & Omicron ones. I think Niko liked the Vanu & Sylph ones even if I hated the maps they were on. I found the Ixal mechs annoying but the story good, Niko found Ixal story stressful but important. #NikoLore

At the Nikoraha wedding, Alphinaud was Niko’s Man of Honor and Alisaie was G’raha’s Best Woman. Alphinaud also helped with the boring planning and Alisaie helped with the party planning.
For the NikoArneis wedding, those functions were done by fc buddies and also a small army of namazus. #NikoLore

I’ve been recreating Niko’s Unending Journey diary in longhand! I’m about 25 pages in rn & having a blast epistolating all his thoughts & feelings to everything while also incorporating logs, sidequests, etc. It’s been a fun exercise to have something so tightly ic in pov and tone. #NikoLore

Niko could hear the elementals if he tried, he just doesn’t want to due to cultural reasons. #NikoLore

This is gonna sound edgelordy but it's mostly a dark blue/indigo/purpley swirl with a bright fiery orange swirl at the very center. It's constantly moving around and shifting for the outer tones, and sometimes you can see the center better than others. #NikoLore

He told Niko some pretty embellished stories about Louisoix, which put Niko on the path to studying magic, & gave Niko his gleaner charm, which has Thaliak’s symbol & is made from the same stone as the Cenotaph in Dravania. #NikoLore

This is Niko’s mom, she kinda sucks! She’s had several personal tragedies and is under pressure of a community leader both pre and post-Calamity and has not dealt with much of this in a way that was helpful for Niko. She wants what’s best for her son :) #NikoLore

For Niko wol, G’raha takes Niko’s surname and drops the Tia but keeps the G (it’s fine as long as they don’t meet another G guy shh don’t worry about it). For Arneis wol, they hyphenate, so Arneis becomes hername-nikoname and Niko becomes nikoname-hername. #NikoLore
