going to start remake again since i still can't play rebirth

get to know the writer . . . hey there! —

what made you pick up the current muse(s) you have? i didn't know anything about final fantasy until a friend of mine who roleplayed in the fandom ( if you see this north... heeeey! ) recommended it to me. i didn't have a way to play the game myself at the time so i spent hours watching various gameplays on youtube and i wasn't surprised that my favorite character ended up being aerith. the majority of the muses i write on tumblr are characters who at their core are always full of hope despite all of the hardships they face. and that is the epitome of who aerith is. it's what she represents. i see a lot of myself in characters like that, and so, when introduced to aerith, i saw a version of me that i strive to be every single day. she's way cooler than me though. and i'm still not 100% sure that i write her well, but i enjoy doing it anyways.

is there anything you don't like to write? not trying to copy-cat ari here, but i've never written smut and probably never will. respect to those who can, but it's just not something i am comfortable with.

is there anything you really enjoy writing? i haven't written much on aerith but from what i have written... i really enjoy getting to delve into her past. aerith, although surprisingly outgoing, is pretty closed off when it comes to talking about what she's been through. when i write i have a tendency to tap into my muses internal monologue. i've never been good at world building, but i love the storytelling. getting to dive into aerith's past and seeing how she carries it with her in the present is always fun.

do you write in silence or do you play music? i write best with no distractions whatsoever. so, i usually don't have any music playing in the background. i can write with instrumentals playing, but if a song has words or is too loud, it can be extremely distracting for me. i can do both but i definitely prefer to write without.

do you plan your replies or wing them? i'm not used to plotting ( shy girl things lol ), so a lot of my threads start out as memes or come from starter calls. when i do replies i usually respond to threads that i have the most muse for first? and when i say the "most muse" i just mean the ones that i already have somewhat of a response in my head for. i don't force myself to write so i only write when i have the ability to do so.

do you enjoy shipping? yes! next question.

what's your alias/name? my alias is just the letter b and it's the first letter of my government name. some people know what it is and i really don't mind sharing it, but i just prefer going by b! i've gone by b for years now and it just feels weird to go by anything else lol.

age and birthday? twenty-four, may 9th 2000.

favorite food, color, and song? i am a sucker for hot wings!!! my favorite color is either a light/pale yellow or baby blue. i don't have a favorite song, but a song i've been listening to non-stop this week is history of men by maisie peters. annnnd favorite season would have to be spring/fall.

last movie and show you watched? my sister made me watch frequency (2000) and it was such a good film. even though it's been 2 years since my mom passed, we're still grieving. so movies like this are very healing for us lol. last show i watched was worst ex ever on netflix.

do you have a tumblr best friend? i consider myself close to everyone that i talk to on a daily basis. i don't like labeling friendships because all of the people i've met on here mean so much to me for different reasons! and i believe that i have many more friends to meet in the future. all of you are my besties. sorry not sorry.

aerith

[anancient]

a whole new world, bursting with life. maybe more than i can handle, i think sometimes, even now. people hate the steel sky, the slums... but i don't. how could i? all that passion, all those dreams, flowing and blending together into something greater. ©

[anancient]

revamp? perhaps?

[anancient]

@steeprice, "could i interest you in just one date, madam?" tips metaphorical hat and bows while grinning at her.

he wants to repay her... but why? the girl doesn't need anything in return. although she had accepted this church as her second home ages ago, she didn't own it. sure. it pained her to see that tremendous hole in the ceiling, but then she noticed the sunlight seeping through. falling onto her yellow lilies that were in desperate need of more energy. she gives him a perplexed look, a timid laugh managing to slip past her lips. aerith had never been asked but thanks to elmyra she knew what a date was. ❝ with me? don't be silly! ❞ she exclaims, ❝ all i did was watch as you crashed through the sky. you should ask the flowers instead. after all, they were the ones to cushioned your fall. ❞

[anancient]

while his desire was to escape freedom; she craved it. the girl has trouble recollecting memories from her childhood. her mind blocked out a lot, leaving apertures in her memory that she still can't seem fill. what she does remember— although vaguely, is that freedom was never an option. she had only been alive for twenty something days when she was abducted and held captive in the shinra building alongside iflana. the woman who birthed her. who loved the little girl beyond measure and shielded her from professor hojo's atrocities to the best of one's ability, while having to undergo the worst of horrors herself. that's what aerith remembers. that a mother's love could endure through all.

and even now, with a nice roof over her head, tons of flowers to speak to, and a woman that adores her... she's still bounded by the chains shinra had put her in. much like wall market, there was this giant veil over her life. at the end of the day she still felt like their property. and until she leaves midgar permanently, that feeling would probably never cease.

he insists on taking her home, but she's not sure that she even wants to return. gotta look forward, not back. she said it herself only moments ago. maybe she should take her own advice. ❝ why don't i come with you? ❞ she blurts out, beach glass eyes widen imploringly. as if she were begging for him to say yes. ❝ tifa. that's her name, right? i'd love to meet her! ❞ without any forethought, she grabs hold of his forearm and hauls him in the direction opposite of where home was located. ❝ i'll just mosey on back once the sun is up. how does that sound? ❞

MIDGAR WAS NOT CLOUD'S HOME. cloud grew up in the boondocks, amidst the mountain ranges and beneath open skies not tarnished by steel monstrosities. still, despite that essence of freedom, cloud had wished to escape it— as if the watercolors that spread above their heads now, suffocated him more than midgar's plate and upper city. back then he'd wanted out, desperately so. he had dreams as big as any thirteen year old's might get. he wanted to be a soldier like sephiroth, like so many big greats with their names up on billboards just like him. and so he did— right?

sapphire eyes tinged with a ring of jade, glance down to the gravel she moves with the tip of her shoe, watching as the ground concaves to the motion; so easily impressionable. he supposes he sounds like one of barret's lessons in that thought, how easily this world takes the shape of those that leave their marks haplessly upon it. he has to get back to them... that's why he was here—

yet though he cared little for parting in the sense of not caring much at all, he cares now, painted at the edges with the faintest shade of blue. aerith's mother coloring his thoughts much more vibrantly.

he should return her home, escort her back the way they'd come, the duty of it weighing on his shoulders in a way that his shadow might call pleasantly. his shadow with same colored eyes, but blackest of black hair; a scar on his cheek, joyous reverberations in his voice. but as he looks to aerith, seeing her through eyes with memories that might dare call her familiar, he simply shrugs in response.

does he miss her already? maybe.

" c'mon, i'm taking you home; i've got the time. "

he doesn't, not really, but he'll make it.

finally done w/ my work week but i'm still avoiding drafts/replies
