"Old friend... I miss you so much. I'm so sorry."

[featherlumina]

hmmm 1 and 22?

Heck yea thank you so much for the ask @banorawhite! :D

1. The character everyone gets wrong.

You know 'im, you love 'im, it's the one and only Genesis Rhapsodos, babey~! Honestly, I've seen people treat him like he's some special kind of terrible for an antagonist whilst not holding the same measure to other characters who have behaved just as bad. Do I condone any of the terrible actions he took? Of course not! Do I also find him infinitely fascinating and nuanced and not just a one-dimensional poetry-quoting asshole? Yes! I get Mr. Rhapsodos drove quite a people mad with his LOVELESS-quoting tendencies, and I will say that Crisis Core suffered for being limited to the PSP and from some poor writing choices. But I'll also say that if Square had properly contrasted his pre-and-post degradation mental state and built a sturdy foundation of his friendship with Angeal and Sephiroth, the impact of his desertion and the betrayal he felt would've hit much harder. that's what fanart and fanfic are for and Genesis is so much richer for it

22. Your favourite part of canon that everyone else ignores.

I bet there's a bunch, but my brain is malfunctioning and all I can think of right now is not quite something that's ignored per-se but I haven't seen much on yet. Gillian Hewley's house in Banora is covered in lovely nature photos that I am certain were taken by Angeal and gifted to her by him to brighten things up.

Also, another obscure thing that I noticed that when Zack goes to Banora in Crisis Core, there are wreaths on all the doors of the houses. The timeline notes that this happens in December, which would imply these are festive decorations. And that just kind of breaks my heart for whatever reason cause it means the village was taken over not long after people put out decorations. Ouch.

Also I need to mention my headcanon that Mideel appears to be in the southern hemisphere, which means Banora has a summer Christmas. And cause I'm Australian, for years I've had the mental image of Genesis, Sephiroth and Angeal (and screw timelines, Zack and Cloud too) having a typical Aussie barbeque/Christmas celebration in Banora. Think Angeal on the barbie, cooking up a storm and chugging a beer, Zack and Cloud playing backyard cricket, Genesis and Sephiroth sitting in those dingy white lawn chairs in shorts and silly Christmas shirts with sunnies on, Gillian putting together a pavlova, etc.

how about 7 and 11 for the music asks?

Ahhh! Thank you for the ask fae 💜

7:A song to drive to

I’ve driven A LOT for my job (peak season can get up to 1,000+ miles a week for a little bit) and my two favorites for long stretches of no service are The Hand That Feeds - TCW and Dream Girl Evil - Florence

They are enrichment in my enclosure while being songs I can drive safely to! (I’ve also been known to play the midgar expressway theme when I have to drive through DC)

11:A song that you never get tired of

The Calling - The Amazing Devil

I don’t know how to explain this in under 1000 words. It’s just… It’s so good.

Type "my gender is" on your phone and let your phone finish the sentence, then tag your moots to keep the chain going, I'll go first.

My gender is a little bit more intense than I thought I could have done

I've never been able to like Irvine due to how he acts around women, but this:

*chefs kiss* I need more fics like this that explore more of Irvine beyond his "ladies man" ways.

As you all know, my dear friend siraj ( @siraj2024 ) is a writer and journalist.

He had studied journalism and media studies and had just completed his masters a year before the zionist occupation began this genocide in palestine. He had been planning on pursuing his doctorate as well, before the occupation attacked with tanks and bombs, and destroyed the home he had taken a decade to build and that dream along with it.

Today he uses his blog to share with us daily updates- writing about the genocide and how it has affected not only him and his family, but also all people of palestine in all its gut wrenching reality.

Everyday he makes a 3km journey alone to get to a spot with stable internet connection, despite all the risks he may come across the way from the IOF. He spends an exorbitant fee to access the internet, just so he can reach out to us and share his writing with the world.

To put it into context, i would like to share a quote from Refaat Alareer who was a palestinian poet, writer, professor and activist.

"I'm an academic," Refaat Alareer said on day 3 of Israel’s genocide. "The toughest thing I have at home is an Expo marker. But if the Israelis invade ... I'm going to use that marker to throw it at the Israeli soldiers, even if that is the last thing that I would be able to do."

This your reminder that every time Siraj updates, every time he is sending you his poetry, every time he picks up his pen to write at all- it is an act of resistance.

Yes, Gaza has been known as an open-air prison for years now, and yes there are very few places left in Gaza that can be called safe from the violence and illness imposed upon them by the occupation. With borders closed, there is nowhere to run.

The intent is to kill, the intent is to destroy and the intent of genocide is to erase the proof that Palestinians were ever there at all. As colonial narratives goes, zionists will weave their false stories about they are the true indigenous population of the land, about how occupied Palestine was an empty, desolate place before Zionists came in to build it up. Gazans are being forced out of their own homes and off their own land, in a more horrifying repetition and continuation of the Nakba, in the attempt to make sure there will be no one to contest those lies.

I have observed that evacuation funds tend to get more traction here than those dedicated to rebuilding in Gaza.

This is your reminder that rebuilding is resistance.

This is Siraj is fighting the only way he can- through documenting and through reaching out to the free world, and attempting to rebuild what he had lost. As a writer, a journalist his voice is the only weapon he has against the bullets, and the bombs.

I want to present to you a poem Siraj has written and has kindly allowed me to share with you all:

You will not defeat us, Israeli occupier

My pen will remain a witness to your actions. Your planes bombed our workplace and destroyed the tools we used in journalistic work, but they will not be able to erase our identity.

I will continue to write every night before bed, with a worn out pen and a torn cardboard.

Yes, I will not stop, no matter how great the challenges are.

I will write about the tent, the drinking water crisis, the famine, the genocide, and the ongoing massacres.

I will never forget anything about what we were in this war. This occupier will not defeat us. We will keep writing no matter how long the darkness lasts.

Please pay heed to Siraj’s determination. Siraj has gotten this far, only because he knows that he has many friends in the free world who will listen to him.

Right now, he is inviting you to help in rebuilding his house- and thus, in helping him resist the occupation.

Do not disrespect him by ignoring this call to action.

He has currently only raised $24,584 CAD / $30,000 (short term goal)

He needs to reach $30,000 within the week.
