#Moon posting#There's a lot to be said about FF7's themes and Cloud's character arc and how a lot of it ties into toxic masculinity#And like. The scene in VIIR where you play as Aerith when Cloud comes out of the bar in a dress and he's absolutely MORTIFIED by his get up#That fucking out-of-body horror and distress Cloud is going through even though there isn't anything for him to be ashamed of?#How humiliated he felt and how the compliments on how he was looking didn't make him feel any better?#That was me when my mom forced me to wear a skirt to my grandma's funeral back when I was in high school#(The last god forsaken time I wore a fucking skirt) (And even at that point I hadn't worn those things for YEARS)#That scene with Cloud? Yeah. Big ''I'm in this picture and I don't like it''-energy.#So this whole thing of Cloud wanting to live up to a horrible twisted idea of masculinity (a Shinra Soldier(/Sephiroth))#And realizing that he never can but(/and?) doesn't have to. That his masculinity is already good enough. That's wonderful.#Also Cloud is just kinda gender leave me alone#Sure wish I had a PS5 because I sure would like to play Rebirth but I am not dropping 700€ to play a single fucking game#Already feel bad enough about getting a Switch last year just for TOTK#Can't even watch my fave Tubers play it because I wanna experience it on my own too#Woe is me
