After failing to pass the test once again to get into soldier, Cloud decides to become Sephiroth’s personal driver. As none of the firsts are allowed to drive except for in combat zones that are more than likely going to get destroyed anyway.

*Sephiroth slides into the passenger seat next to nervous trooper!Cloud*

Cloud: G-good morning, sir!

Sephiroth: Good morning. We need to be at Shinra HQ. No need to rush, take things calmly.

*Cloud immediately floors it*

Sephiroth, gripping the door handle: !?

Cloud: I hope my driving is to your liking, sir!

*Sephiroth watches a stop sign cartwheel past the window*

Sephiroth: You just hit that sign.

Cloud: Oh, that's just the backroads driving style we use in Nibelheim, sir! Great for avoiding wolves!

Sephiroth: You nearly hit that pedestrian.

Cloud: Evasive maneuvers! Keeps 'em on their toes!

Sephiroth: That was a red light.

Cloud: Momentum-based decision-making, sir! Traffic laws are just polite suggestions!

Sephiroth: You just drove into oncoming traffic.

Cloud: Strategic intimidation! Establishes road dominance!

Sephiroth: That was a fruit stand.

Cloud: Local economic stimulus!

Sephiroth: That was a Shinra security checkpoint.

Cloud: Unconventional stealth entry!

Sephiroth: We are now inside Shinra HQ.

Cloud: Efficient entry system!

Sephiroth: We are in the lobby.

Cloud: Prime parking location!

*There is a muffled thud as something slides off the hood*

Zack, sprawled on the ground, giving a thumbs-up: Best shortcut ever!

Sephiroth:

Cloud: How did I do?

Sephiroth: Flawless execution. A masterclass in vehicular strategy.

Cloud: Thanks!

My biggest revelation of 2024 was realizing that Angeal Hewley has way more simps than previously expected

I completely missed this dialogue, I’ll admit….but seriously what the fuck? A few things:

1. Bless Zack’s patience so much lol. This guy is such a blatant asshole to him.

2. Is this seriously how the other researchers saw SOLDIERs? I know they talk down to Zack, but it sounds like they see Hojo’s troops as actual puppets.

(I wonder if it’s that word in Japanese, because Cloud getting called a “puppet” by Sephiroth translates as “doll,” in Japanese posts pretty often. Puppet/doll seems like it’s the same in these games).

Anyway, if that’s the case, and the scientists literally dismiss SOLDIERs as “drones” or “dolls,” then that could reveal another reason why a big part of Shinra culture that dehumanizes them could result in Miniroth having this as a key issue in his head.

That would also add to why Seph says Glenn’s reaction (laughing) when he asks about his mother was “everyone’s reaction.” If these people didn’t see SOLDIERs as human, then one of them asking about his mother would probably seem ridiculous.

I feel like with Genesis he would have the same experience I would when asking my friends if they would vote for me as president and every single one of them said nope

*Genesis stares longingly at a poster of President Shinra*

Genesis: Gentlemen, if I were to run for president—hypothetically speaking, of course—you'd vote for me, wouldn't you?

(Simultaneously)

Sephiroth: No.

Angeal: Absolutely not.

Genesis: That was the fastest and most insultingly synchronized rejection I have ever received from you two. You speak as if you aren't my friends.

Sephiroth: It's because we're your friends that we wouldn't vote for you.

Genesis: Care to elaborate?

Angeal: Remember last week when you held an emergency meeting at 3 AM because you "felt unappreciated" and then made us take turns complimenting you before you'd let us leave your quarters?

Genesis: …Yes?

Angeal: That sums up your leadership skills.

Genesis: Ridiculous. I am an exceptional leader. Charismatic, visionary, eloquent beyond mortal comprehension—

Sephiroth: Remember yesterday when you looked me dead in the eyes, called me "a tragic government lab rat with the personality of a tax audit" and then immediately asked me to carry your bags?

Genesis: Vividly. Let me guess, does that sum up my charisma?

Sephiroth: No, I just forgot to say fuck you for it.

Genesis: …

Genesis: "Today is a self-care day."

Sephiroth: "You glued Zack to the basement floor and left him there."

Genesis: "I was so real for that. I do a little thing called 'what I want'. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take, Sephiroth."

Sephiroth: "He is going to starve to death. He has probably soiled himself by now."

Genesis: "Today, I choose joy."

Sephiroth: "HE COULD DIE."

Genesis: "LIVE LAUGH LOVE, SEPHIROTH"
