Hey guys! I’ve been lurking about lately and I’d really love to get back into playing Reeve so maybe give this a reblog if you’d like a quick little starter from me ( for my followers! ) / to play with a Reeve Tuesti from Final Fantasy VII ( for my not-yet-followers! )??

Reeve why. I thought you liked me.

That’s why Reeve is going as Sexy Death Gigas this year. ❤︎

[thecxmmissioner]

I just had a hilarious thought of Vincent’s limit breaks becoming popular “sexy” Halloween costumes on Gaia.. Sexy Galian Beast, Sexy Hellmasker, etc. They’d come in bags in all the pop up costume shops containing very short ruffly skirts, fishnets, and like a collar with neck bolts or fangs or whatever and every year there would be a slew of drunk young women traipsing around Edge wearing these costumes with very high heels while yelling for their friends.

🙋 + reeve's feelings on betraying avalanche / cloud & co.

Oh my goodness Reeve’s feelings on AVALANCHE, ShinRa, and betrayal of both parties could fill a novel itself. I’ll try to be succinct here ( haha yeah right ) and maybe I’ll write a full headcanon post on this later.

Firstly, Reeve has very negative feelings about AVALANCHE until he really gets to know the current party. That’s not to say that he doesn’t have negative feelings about ShinRa as well by the time the game starts, but he definitely sees ShinRa as a necessary evil and AVALANCHE as a self-righteous evil. They are terrorists. They’ve been attacking his mako reactors for years, mostly outside of Midgar, and those are structures that Reeve built, oversees, and partially staffs. AVALANCHE sees the “good” they’re doing for the environment, but Reeve sees the casualties of people who work for him, some of whom he knows ( because tbh he wouldn’t be too personally cozy with the personnel that far down the ladder, but they are going to work every day to do a job for him and he feels that ). It’s a personal hit, to him.

( Bonus: @kunselxknows sent me this random ask the other day in which someone shoots at Reeve while touring a construction site and I made it specifically a tour of the reactor in Corel and oh my god I’m so close to making this actual permanent blog headcanon because yes. @tragicxscarlet and I have already headcanoned 50 subsequent things resulting from this incident. So if you assume that’s AVALANCHE-related as well, now they’re personally targeting him. )

Secondly, the hit on Mako Reactor No. 1 in Midgar is an even more personal hit to him, firstly because it’s the first hit on a mako reactor in Midgar ( which is way more protected than the ones out in the more rural areas ) and, because he lives in Sector 8, it was also close to his home. If he lived any closer to Sector 1, it could have killed him, as Reactor No. 1 borders Sector 8. He most definitely knew some of the victims of this attack, not even just professionally as in the case of reactor maintenance people, but personally from around his home neighborhood. It literally hits closer to home. ( And then Barret brushes this off as “a few” casualties that have to be expected, while being unaware he’s talking about some people that Reeve personally knew… )

Thirdly, there’s the hit on Reactor No. 5, which was even larger than the hit on Reactor No. 1, and his parents live in Sector 5. As you can imagine, Reeve’s feeling pretty hostile toward AVALANCHE at this point.

When President Shinra decides that the solution is to destroy all of Sector 7 and Reeve protests, it’s out of no concern for AVALANCHE ( whom Reeve would happily see executed at that point ), but the thousands of innocents who would be involved. I mean, we’re talking about one eighth of Midgar’s population, which I headcanon to be around 2 million total ( so around 250,000 casualties! possibly more if Sector 7 is one of the more developed and densely populated sectors ), both slums and plate. And there’s a lot of ShinRa company housing on the Sector 7 plate, who aren’t even being warned. It’s crazy. President Shinra is crazy. And Reeve is powerless to stop him, because all he has is reasoning and negotiation and he’s outvoted in the boardroom.

Shinra orders Reeve to take a few days off, and Reeve spends that time thinking about how he can undermine him on his own. He has the idea to use Cait Sith to infiltrate AVALANCHE and spends that time off working on the model, but it isn’t until the Turks catch wind of him building a stronger model ( which Tseng already learned about in BC, when Reeve used the prototype to help them ) that they come up with the exact plan for Reeve to operate as a spy and feed information to the Turks. That wasn’t what Reeve’s original plan was. He didn’t want to be under the oversight of ShinRa on this. He didn’t even fully have a plan. But by then it’s Rufus in charge anyhow and Reeve is willing to give him a chance to be more capable than his father, and the Turks strong-arm him into it regardless. ( How? In Scarlet-verse, at least, I lowkey headcanon they probably caught on to the affair and vaguely threatened her life and/or exposure of that info. But there are a lot of other things they could threaten/blackmail him with too, from his parents’ safety, to any other theoretical ship partners, to framing/exposing him for treason. I kind of like keeping it verse dependent. )

Reeve has serious reservations about the operation, but his reservations are about his effectiveness as a spy, his ability to not get caught, his dislike of reporting to ShinRa, and kidnapping a 4-year-old child. By the time he takes the keystone, I think he feels a niggling of guilt about it because he’s gotten to know Cloud and the gang personally by then, but not that much guilt because he feels like Tseng and Rufus have the stronger plan and AVALANCHE are just rebels who are too self-assured of their own competence with such an important matter as tracking down Sephiroth. He no longer wants them to be killed, however. He likes them, on a personal level. He just heartily disagrees with their willingness to paint themselves on one side of a moral war and ShinRa on the other, and especially the nonchalance toward “acceptable casualties” ( even while believing to have moral superiority! )

After all the madness that happens between the Temple of the Ancients and the beginning of Disc 2, Reeve no longer has Turk oversight on his mission and also there’s a Meteor in the sky about to kill everyone so priorities become a bit shifted. Reeve believes ShinRa’s plans for dealing with Meteor to be slightly harebrained and now has more faith in AVALANCHE’s competence than ShinRa’s, so he feeds information the other way and now betrays ShinRa.

And by the way, the other executives did not know what Reeve was up to with Cait Sith. Perhaps Rufus did not know the exact identity of the mole, either, because he never seems suspicious of, say, AVALANCHE showing up at all the huge materia locations or wary of continuing to discuss such info around Reeve. My headcanons from here kind of split in two, and that’s one version for my ship with Scarlet and one generic version without. Either way she did not know, but the significance of her not knowing differs. In their ship, she would have met Cait Sith and known about Reeve’s Inspire ability by then, but Cait would have gone out of his way to make sure he was never seen by Scarlet. ( When he knocks her out in Junon, even, he’s in disguise. ) Then she and Heidegger start to get suspicious of Reeve, Heidegger’s suggestion plus Reeve’s strange behavior convinces her of Reeve’s guilt, and they throw him in jail. Then Scarlet goes off and gets herself killed, still believing Reeve had betrayed her ( asdfghjkl; ). In the absence of a ship, that all happens as you know it to in canon. Either way, Reeve’s arrest pretty much solidifies Reeve’s betrayal of ShinRa, and after ShinRa collapses and he gets out, he continues to reject the remains of the company and disassociate with them.

That was a little more than you asked for, but that’s pretty much all of Reeve’s feelings on betraying AVALANCHE and betraying ShinRa.

Wait what happened to Abigail?

Abigail is his W.R.O. secretary! Margaret is ShinRa.

Margaret does not survive Meteorfall. :[

@kunselxknows replied to your post: *chats up his secretary for funsies and gossip*

Gosh… everyone always thinks he wants something… when in the end all he wants is friends… </3

Margaret will be your friend. :]

...Margaret will not be your informant. >:[

@ablackwing‘s Sephiroth is hot af and Reeve knows it which is really awkward considering they’re meeting after DoC and that is Not Okay. Also since he apparently knew Sephiroth as a child which would add another layer of weirdness onto it for Reeve, but what the hell, I’m still going with it. I always look forward to your replies! ❤︎

@kyouminaine replied to your post: @kyouminaine @tragicxscarlet How dare.

sorry i left your wife to die, cat dad. i had the world to save.

Sure sure don’t mind as Cait Sith suddenly and mysteriously stops working; his handler is just falling to pieces in a jail cell. Technical difficulties. NO IT’S FINE GO ON AHEAD.

[thecxmmissioner]

@kyouminaine @tragicxscarlet

How dare.

[thecxmmissioner]

I follow you for the plots & kitties & architecture. Spontaneous kitties all the time. On the dash, in messages. Who knew there could be so many possibilities. Meet you in the pit tbh

I’m just so glad I have someone to share the surplus kitties with tbh. ❤︎❤︎ Keep the poor little kitties out of the cold.

I would meet anyone in the pit.

[thecxmmissioner]

I follow you because ;sobf;odngidgbjgilunRGlig.

Oh em gee me too!!

[thecxmmissioner]

i follow you because i'm waiting on child support :'( though maybe the fact that you went out of your way to shake about canon reeve and get so much out of him and then expand on it??? so well???? like... your headcanons about reeve and the world are a delight to read, mother wooing aside >:o (ok even that)

Asdfghjkl; listen Reeve speaks to me and tells me what to write. I have nothing to do with it except for listening and putting it into words. But I’m so glad you actually like to read those and that people dig them because honestly who am I to make up headcanons about the world? ( I’m always so happy and surprised when people like those, tbh. ) But the world that surrounds Reeve, his influence upon it, and its influence upon him are such integral aspects to who he is that when I think about his relationship with Midgar, with the W.R.O., with ShinRa, with Edge, etc., I can’t help but start headcanoning the environment around him and not just how he behaves within it. Because it’s very symbiotic, Reeve and the world(s) he helps build.

By which I mean, thank you. ;_;

And listen son, you could wait on child support or you could just let me woo your mother and do the stepfather-trying-to-win-you-over-by-buying-you-toys thing. Which do you think is going to yield more goodies?? ( We know which one will for Reeve. :] )

❤+ rude-at-your-service?

Oh, did you mean @rude-at-your-service​ who has an amazing URL that doesn’t need to be changed or shortened in any way whatsoever?? No, really, I’m a fan of the URL. It gives me the impression of Rude being very polite, which is a nice contrast to his name being...Rude.

Anyway, I imagine Rude might be a tricky character to play because he’s so silent and mysterious, which just makes me that much happier to see him on my dashboard. And have you seen this art that the mun drew of Reeve and Veld being super stylish?? Come to think of it, I don’t know if we’ve ever had any threads together? But we need to IMO.

❤+ silverxskies

@silverxskies‘s Meia is probably one of the coolest and most well written OCs I have seen in a while. And I don’t think that’s because of anything in her character bio, but rather how the mun plays her as a person rather than as a concept. I feel like I have such a good sense of how Meia fits in to this community that I often forget she even is an OC, and while that kind of presence is awesome for anyone to achieve, it’s even more so for an OC.

❤+ argentnoir

Listen, Tseng is so cool. Reeve might not be too impressed by his willingness to coerce him into kidnapping small children for hostages, but he knows they both have to do what they have to do. I haven’t seen @argentnoir‘s Tseng on my dashboard lately, but I hope we get to RP together again soon. ❤︎ Or whenever!
