Tbh the funniest part of OG FF7 is that Sephiroth's first action is to kill President Shinra and then the game has to almost immediately pivot to the Nibelheim flashback so you understand he's the main villain of the game. Barret was fully prepared to let the stabby ghost join Avalanche.

Even in Rebirth's flashback, Barret was like "Seph sounds like a cool dude wtf".

Somewhere out there, there's an AU where Seph leaves Shinra to join Avalanche and he and Barret become total bros. I want Barret to buy him a beer or something lmao

Cloud would be so much more powerful if he had a phone

[c-o-t-o]

Your writing of Zack and Cloud's date ideas was sooooo cute! Do you think they'd get jealous of you talking to other guys, assuming they had a crush on you?

Thank you so much!! I actually love comparing these two because I feel like their personalities really are so opposite. If they had crushes on you and saw you being friendly with other guys they'd 100% get jealous.

Cloud would probably be really pouty about it but try to pretend nothing is wrong. It would be written all over his face that he's bothered by it, but the second you ask him what's wrong, he'll say it's nothing and try to do something to distract himself. He'll stay relatively quiet about it, but inside, it's all he can think about. Eventually he'll shyly murmur it out, that he wishes you'd talk to him as much as the other guys. Eventually Cloud would have no choice but to admit that he likes spending time with you, trying to convey his message without entirely confessing to you just yet. But the second you catch on and start to probe him, he'll say "never mind" becoming too bashful, walking away so you don't see him blushing.

Zack would make it SO obvious that he's jealous, and pretty outwardly. He'll try to make a joke of it, saying that you must really like those other guys to be talking to them so much. And have a "what's so great about them when you've got me!" approach to talking about it. He'll go out of his way to make sure you're always seeing him do stuff like working out or fighting in the combat simulator, cracking jokes with others as you walk by to show he can be funny... showing off, basically. But Zack will be real with you at the end of it all and would probably end up confessing to some extent because he wants you to know he really likes you and wants to spend more time with you. And then joke again about how the other guys there aren't that great, anyway.

Do you think Sephiroth has 4 balls instead of the usual pair?

You have no idea how hard it was to sit through the entire rest of my shift without laughing like a lunatic knowing this was sitting here, haunting me.

Also

NO???? WHY WOULD HE HAVE 4???? WHAT PURPOSE DOES QUAD BALLS SERVE??

Anon, thank you (curse you) for making me ponder quadrupedal balls. Yes, i know what quadrupedal means and that image is now in my brain. I hate everything

[rocketbirdie]

Cloud Strife Appalachian accent . That's it that's the ask Nibelhiem is West Virginia.

CORRECT

[sephirthoughts]

Do you have any Sephiroth headcannons?? (For the game :3 heh.. see wut i did there..)

I GOT YOU BABE

EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE A FILTHY CHEATING ANON WHO HAS CIRCUMVENTED MY VENGEANCE jk ilu xoxo

[this ask game]

Headcanon A:  realistic

sephiroth is 100% a virgin and almost certainly asexual. just because everyone thinks he's pretty and wants to fuck him doesn't mean he is at all interested in sex. if anything, i think he'd have an extremely difficult time relating to himself as a sexual being, and would likely find the idea of sex with a human sack of meat and blood and bones to be repulsive. that might be part of why his feelings for cloud strife are so confusing and distressing to him. they are intense but nonsexual and he has no idea what they mean

Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious

when sephiroth is not on duty, he wears the most absolutely heinous clothes. faded raggedy ass t-shirts, sweatpants with rips in the knees or the crotch worn out, sandals with socks, the whole nine yards. he's a disaster. this is basically his off-duty vibe

Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends

despite shinra tarting him up in this ridiculous armor and forcing him to the front and center as their famous war hero, sephiroth's entire manner of interacting with the world is to make himself as small and gentle and invisible as possible. he's aware that he is incredibly dangerous, and he has observed the fear in people's eyes, when they look at him. it hurts him to be seen, for reasons beyond his control, as something frightening or monstrous, so he does everything he can to soften his presence.

he doesn't want to harm, so he almost never dares to touch. he doesn't want to frighten, so he keeps that placid half-smile pasted on his face, and hardly raises his voice above a murmur.

he doesn't want to be looked at and watched and analyzed and studied—or worse, feared and hated—so he draws into himself, lowers his head, crosses his arms, doesn't make eye contact unless he has to. he is always awaiting the next time he can slink away and avoid being seen

Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.

vincent is his bio-daddy i will never surrender this headcanon. even if square enix shows me the DNA test proving him to be hojo's i will not believe it

thank you for the ask!

For the meme: 💜: Which character is way hotter than everyone else seems to think?

💜 · Which character is way hotter than everyone else seems to think?

This fandom is extremely horny so there are basically dedicated thirst groups for like every major character in the series, good or bad, and I have huge respect for that.

However.

This definitely applies to Broden, retired DILF Class SOLDIER, the most attractive innkeeper in JRPG history.

Screenshots from the lovely A-ta (@/gbkguk) on twt, who is the only person on the planet who appreciates this man as he deserves. Everyone else is sleeping on Broden when they should be lamenting that they can't sleep with him.

Silly me sitting in my silly house thinking my silly thoughts like how Hojo had three literal cylinders full of his darling son's skin, hair, and blood.

You can see more contents of my highschool au with #Shinra Highschool

I'll leave this here in case anyone wants to do some coloring to kill time 😂

[rottenpumpkin13]

Let me be delusional please, my fragile heart needs this. We know that the remnants are part of Sephiroth, Kadaj is hatred and rage, Loz is physical strength and speed, and Yazoo is charisma and his aloof demeanor. But what if there aren't three remnants, there are four of them, but the fourth one is a bit "special".

The fourth is child Sephiroth, S-1, the kid is Sephiroth's innocence and pain.

Obviously, Sephiroth resents this weak, pathetic thing. Just the idea of having to look at S-1 makes him seethe in disdain look at how powerless he used to be, such thing is not worthy of Mother's love so Sephiroth just leaves S-1 in the Lifestream and lets Gaia do the work for him, this Planet and him have one thing in mutual is that they both loath each other, Gaia is too much of a coward to take the risk of letting some part of the Calamity's son roaming in the Lifestream, no matter how weak or harmless it seems to be.

To be fair, he is right about the last part. The Planet first wants to dissolve S-1 and be done with it, however, Aerith doesn't agree with them. At first, she was not sure what to do with S-1, she pitied the child that is for sure, but all in all, the poor child is still part of The enemy of the Planet, and Gaia can be very stubborn when it comes to anything related to the Calamity. But Zack... Gaia, Zack looks devastated when he takes the first look at his old friend, or at least what is left of him. He doesn't try to persuade her to save the child, he knows how unfair it would be for her since it was Sephiroth's blade is the thing that led her to her demise, but she knows how badly Zack wants to save S-1. Zack still feels guilty about what happened in the Nibelheim reactor, despite Aerith's continuous reassurance that is not his fault, he claims that he should have done more, he could have saved thousands of lives, and most importantly, Sephiroth wouldn't have lost his mind.

Saving the child probably would heal the Nibelheim-reactor wound in Zack so for Zack's sake, she negotiates with Gaia.

(Part of her feels sorry for Sephiroth, the man is doomed from the second he was born. He was born broken and never got the chance to save himself. Maybe by saving S-1, the deceased hero maybe can finally find a small bit of peace.)

I struggle at first to think of the name for the fourth one since I don't want to use Sephiroth. But then I remembered that all the pain and suffering of Sephiroth comes from the Jenova Project, what name fits more than S-1? English is not my first language so no matter how I want to write this idea into a fic, I can't lol, best I can do is write some small bit. This idea was actually inspired by an ask from anon to Alto but I forgot which one sorry, I just remember that they said they feel sorry for Sephiroth, and honestly? Same, I wish him to have a happier life in another world because there is no chance for him to have that in FF7 when even death refuses him.

WAIT WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? I'M INVESTED 😭

This is such a perfect idea ughhhhhhhh I want to read a version of this where they send him to Cloud and Tifa—after Advent Children—so that they can raise and take care of him. Imagine everything being over and done with, and then a much younger version of Sephiroth shows up at their door.

*screams into the void* I love this so much it's killing me 💗

21 inches of Hojo

Hojo is now 21 inches tall and I will put him under my boot

[tifa-simp]

Instead of doing all these interviews with the same old questions and the same old answers, have the devs considered give Cloud or Tifa or Sephiroth cameos in other games? Just a thought.

Like I know FF7 is very precious and expensive IP of SE, but time changes. Final Fantasy as a franchise needs to adapt too. I just think interview and Ever Crisis aren't enough to attract new fans anymore. The marketing for FF7RE has to take different route if they really want part 3 to reach its sale goal.
