@prehistoric-creatures from the Crack fic I'm writing from your suggestion in my DMs last week. Despair = hot sauce in food in this context.

"You underestimate the power of despair, Bia," Sephiroth replied, holding the bowl out of her reach. A playful glint darkened his cyan eyes. "Why, you've been suffering from the effects of despair-in-egg all morning. And look how well you've handled it thus far. Despair-in-cookie is no more than the next logical step."

Nurturing November: Day 9: Interactions with Setting

Throughout this month, I’ll be sharing character-building exercises that I have completed that will bring out my ocs’ more tender sides. This can be anything from snippets to oc questions to character analysis.

In a hidden section of the North Crater, Bianca has manifested a small, storybook-like cabin as a retreat with her reality-bending powers since Sephiroth told her to practice honing her powers for the coming fight for the Planet. Bianca’s imagination built the cabin, and it almost feels enchanted. The cabin feels like something straight out of a fairy tale — quaint and timeless. Deep in the icy wilderness — a forest that she has also created — in the North Crater, the house has a rustic charm, low light, and a faint smell of cedar. Snow drifts against the windows. The cabin will become almost a secluded haven, as it is cut off from the rest of the North Crater. Tucked away in the distant corners, against the jagged walls, lies a cave. This is where Bianca’s body will regenerate after the ultimate battle against Cloud and his companions during the Meteorfall event. For Bianca, this is a place where she can offer Sephiroth a moment of normalcy and comfort.

The cabin’s interior reflects Bianca’s care and attention to detail. There is a well-worn leather couch that is draped in thick, festive, woolen blankets and a small table beside it that often has a silver serving tray with mugs of hot cocoa, complete with a hint of cinnamon and whip cream with chocolate sprinkles. While they drink their hot chocolate, he will usually read to her before the roaring fireplace. She created this place to hold these simpler moments, to show that they are more than just villains trying to take over the Planet / Omniverse and can exist without the weight of their usual personas. Sephiroth’s edges seem to soften only slightly, and he accepts her in a way that feels meaningful, even if vulnerable. He allows himself to be coaxed into these small, quiet traditions — drinking hot cocoa, having romantic getaways, and just existing with his loved one. He gives in because he was deprived of any kind of warm relationships as a child, both under Hojo’s control during his experiments. Later, as a 1st Class SOLDIER, he only allowed two or three people close to him. In this setting, even his stoic demeanor relaxes, as he’s just content to sit close to her.

Bianca treasures these snowed-in moments for the same reason Sephiroth does, as there were few people she allowed in fearing betrayal. Here, they could find something genuine and lasting. For her, creating this cabin is an act of love, a way to nurture the quiet side of their relationship. His presence fills the space, adding weight and warmth to it, transforming it into a sanctuary for both of them. And while they may share a few words beyond his reading to her, his mere acceptance of care speaks volumes. He lets her see him not as the One-Winged Angel, but simply as Sephiroth. This gesture is Sephiroth’s own way of reciprocating her affection, a subtle acknowledgeable that her effects and love have become his refuge amidst their grand destiny. It’s a silent promise of what will await her in the Promised Land.

Primordia (#6)

The Terradocus is a long diplodocid sauropod that lives in the swamps and lakesides of the valleys of Primordia.

Although not as big as the Atlascolossus, these creatures are still big for many small predators to face, but most small animals make home on the plants the Terradocus are covered.

Their main defence is not only their size but its long tail are useful to fend of attackers or to communicate.

Nurturing November: Day 8: fears and phobias

Throughout this month, I’ll be sharing character-building exercises that I have completed that will bring out my ocs’ more tender sides. This can be anything from snippets to oc questions to character analysis.

Sephiroth’s approach to comforting Bianca after a night terror reflects his complex protective and practical behavior that he takes with their relationship. His knowledge of fear and his cold nature shapes his reaction. While he may not be nurturing in a traditional sense, Sephiroth shows care in ways that align with his reserve demeanor. He is not seeking to manipulate her here, so hints of his personality that he has shown in Ever Crisis and Crisis Core shine through from time to time.

He never rushes to offer verbal reassurances or engage in comforting platitudes. Instead, he provides a physical presence and stability. He grounds her with his touch, allowing her to feel anchored in reality without forcing her to speak about her trauma if she is not ready. This strength shows that he understands words are sometimes unnecessary, but it also shows his own emotional limitations.

There is a darker side to his response, but he wouldn’t be a villain if there wasn’t. For Sephiroth, comforting her isn’t just about erasing her fears. It’s reinforcing her she will always be under his protection and bound to him, even if Cloud defeats him as he will not ‘die’. Rather than trying to diminish the threat her memories post, Sephiroth embraces it. He reminds her of the strength she possesses by standing with him, reinforcing their shared resilience and power.

In his own way, he uses his dark presence as a shield, not by promising safety from the world but by affirming his role as a constant presence in her immortal life. This shows Sephiroth’s value of power over vulnerability, but it allows him to support Bia while respecting her strength.

His approach to comforting her isn’t about rejecting the darkness that terrorizes her, rather he and she accept it as part of their shared reality that they inhabit together. In allowing Bianca to feel her fear and her connection to him in the aftermath, Sephiroth acknowledges her own autonomy and her power. He fosters a bond that embraces their darker nature, where he is not a savior but an unmovable presence.

Sephiroth began. His voice was steady yet quiet. "You remember how I told you about the experiments that happened under Hojo's guidance."

She reached over and held his hand. "I do. I remember bits and pieces, but Sephiroth, that doesn't matter to me. I know who you are."

"How can you love me?"

"Because you are not the monster you think you are." Bianca then let go and placed her hand over his heart. "I know what you feel in here. It doesn't matter to me what Hojo did. I will spend lifetimes loving you to help ease the hurt he caused to your soul.

"And never forget, I am here in this world to be with you. I find you worthy enough to chose you over my Creator, my friends, and my very identity."

Happy Storyteller Saturday! Tell me about a victory, either your characters or your own. I wanna hear about some triumphs

Hello. Happy STS. Thank you so much for the ask.

Bianca's greatest triumph was escaping Shinra's clutches after enduring Project N, an offshoot of the Jenova Project where she was experimented upon. Captured after the Nibelheim Incident, she was subjected to Hojo's ruthless experiments. During this time, her celestial and demonic essence were twisted and tested to stabilize a failing experiment.

During this time, she faced unimaginable torment, as alien dna was injected and infused into her, twisting her demonic powers until her celestial abilities were rendered dormant or corrupted outright. For a year and a half, she clung to survival with her only respite being the dreamscape Sephiroth created for her. Despite her anguish, she was driven by a determination to escape, reunite with Sephiroth, and participate in his Reunion. It remains to be seen if her intense longing to reunite was due to his calling of the Sephiroth clones.

Her escape marked a transformative victory, as she emerged from captivity forever changed but with a new goal. Weakened and scarred, Bianca embraced the fusion of her demonic cells with the Jenova and S-cells, using them to evade her captors and tear through those who stood in her way.

This victory wasn't just about a physical escape, but it was reclaiming her new identity and her autonomy after being dehumanized for so long. It was a moment where she chose her own path, confronting some of her trauma and claiming a role of an agent of vengeance and change. This is where she picked up the mantle of the Harbinger of the End and started to make plans to completing her own destiny: the destruction of the Omniverse and the rebirth of something better.

The victory become a cornerstone of her story, fueling her quest for justice against those who wronged her and driving her closer to Sephiroth.

Happy Blorbo Day! What are your character's core beliefs?

Thank you so much for the ask. Happy belated Blorbo Blursday. For this, I'm going to talk about Bianca and what drives her.

As part of her core beliefs, Bianca sees destruction as a transformative force: one that paves the way for creation and renewal. Having survived deep trauma, she envisions the annihilation of the omniverse as a means to eliminate corruption and make space for a pure rebirth. Her unwavering support of Sephiroth guides her to support his darkest ambitions, as she believes that a true partnership demands absolute devotion -- from both partners -- even in the face of sacrifice.

Her view on power as freedom is rooted deeply in her experiences of manipulation and exploitation, making her determined to gain the strength she needs to avoid being controlled by others. As she embraces her dual celestial and demonic heritage -- with Jenova and S-cells now -- she sees balance as a source of strength, allowing her to rationalize that chaos with purpose is the way forward.

For Bia, sacrifice is a necessary part of achieving meaningful change and aligns with her belief in a cosmic rebirth. She is willingly to forsake her humanity that came with being a divine spirit born into a human vessel for the sake of her shared vision with Sephiroth, even at the cost of her very identity and well-being.

This shared vision involves transcending their current existence through destruction and his ascension as a god, hoping it will lead them to the Promised Land, which to Bianca is the entire omniverse being remade, and a liberated sense of being. The balance between creation and destruction is central to her philosophy, fueling a quest that is about profound transformation: ascension and a cosmic renewal for both herself and Sephiroth.

Bianca: "I am part demon. I'll just gently warn her not to mess with you or our family again. She sold those pictures to the network. That cannot go unanswered, Seph."

Sephiroth: "And what are the chances that your definition of 'gentle' differs slightly from mine?"

Bianca: "A little more than half."
