Hello! In your aerith redesign post, you mentioned not liking aerith's portrayl in rebirth because of how she "jokes about romance all the time" as you put it. You also mention that you interpret her to be more disney princess coded. Can you elaborate on that? Just curious

Hi! I appreciate the ask! I figured i'll start this by stating that this is from my perspective and experience with ff7 as a whole, but when I first played the original, I envisioned her character differently from how the remake trilogy presents her.

I was under the impression that Aerith had a much more punkish feel to her character, but with pink bows slapped all over! This was communicated to me through her design (her iconic boots, puffed shoulders, etc.) and her overall straightforward, sometimes blunt, behavior. I love that she subverts the trope of being the cutesy character just because they wear pink y'know?

In the remake trilogy, her design is much softer, in almost every way LOL (her shoulder puffs? Gone. Her button dress? Gone. Her AIR VENT BANGS?!?! GONE! at least she retained the boots sksmfnk). Her personality is still very witty and charismatic, and they expanded upon the dialogue they had from og in a wonderful way! Her dialogue just has a different direction than I had initially anticipated (cute voice, lots of pep)

Her re trilogy version feels to me that her character's leans more in the direction of many classic shoujo protagonists, more specifically, magical girl shoujo! I grew up reading a lot of this content and if you understand how revolutionary shoujo (and josei) is , then you understand that they have some of the best writing & depictions of complex characters & character interactions. Many magical girl shoujo protags have this bursting optimism and emotional strength, and it's what allows for characters to move forward and have hope (sound familiar?). Aerith fits the bill imo. As for her being disney princesses-coded, I think the same can apply! Think of the little mermaid! She wants to go out and experience the world and although she is naive (bc she's young, inexperienced), she learns many lessons along the way and is unafraid to say what she wants. Ariel & Aerith (heehee) share that in common! There's also a parallel of sorts to tangled with the lantern rite in cosmo canyon in rebirth, and just figured I'd point that out lol.

As for the joking about romance part, I'll elaborate a bit more since it's likely not what u think.

When I say she jokes about romance a lot, I don't necessarily have a problem with her making those jokes or teasing/flirting w/ cloud. My problem actually lies more in that we only got to see her bond and joke around with cloud in general, not as much with the other part members (and those interactions w/ cloud just so happen to be focused on making things abt dates or romance). I guess I should be more specific on that front next time but yeah I like her teasing it's rly cute and funny but I guess I meant to say that I'm disappointed that most of her writing in rebirth centered around her bond with cloud, rather than with the others as much as I would've liked. I would've appreciated more moments between her and barret, yuffie, even vincent y'know? Her moments w/ tifa & red were awesome! Just imagine more one-on-one stuff between her and the others? It would have been really interesting.

At the cosmo canyon speech & at the temple of the ancients, she was speaking of how much she cares for the others, which is great! But I personally feel that we weren't really shown that. Of course, if you understand her character you would be like well duh, ofc she would care, but there's not harm in showing that y'know? It reinforces the impact of her words.

Also, romantic interactions are usually not what typically get me hooked on character dynamics, it's secondary to me in a way, so I think I just appreciate Aerith & Cloud's dynamic with romantic ambiguity because that way it highlights that their relationship wasn't JUST romantic-it was meaningful and symbolic in more ways than one! But ofc, this is just my opinion, so feel free to disagree

Les Amis Modern AU: What They Wish Others Believed About Them (Part 1).

[I'll do this series in 4 or so Parts].

[I kind of wrote this in response to some general trends in characterising the Amis. There are some stereotypes which I'm not quite comfortable with. ]

Enjolras:

• Wants people to know that he isn't always angry and uptight.

• That he can giggle for hours on end and even snort like a malfunctioning car when supplied with enough puns and Penguin videos.

•That people can walk around him without being on eggshells all the time. He doesn't like the idea of Christmas Capitalism, but that DOES NOT mean that people need to stutter "Chris-sorry-non-denominational holiday party" to him all the time.

• That he does hang out with Bahorel, Joly, Bossuet and Chetta as well. And they know he's scared of nightclub crowds, so they also find nice places to go with him. Enjolras has a photo of them in front of an amusement park carousel pinned on his headboard.

• He's also super unhappy that people think of him as a pretentious wokeboi who never accepts a different point of view. He tries too hard to undo whatever prejudices he has, and frequently cries in the shower when he thinks he has been horrible to someone. He apologizes almost instantly if he fucks things up, and tries his level best to fix the situation.

• That he likes other colours too. Enj has a blanket which is a soft shade of mauve, which he simply cannot do without at night. He also loves porcelain blue, rose gold and emerald green. He had a dark academia phase once.

• That he has had high school crushes. A few, intense ones. Except remembering them hurts him still.

• That he does like his caffeine, but he's careful enough to not overdo his coffee intake. In fact, Enj does take remarkably good care of himself and people around them. He's meticulous in following grocery schedules and house-cleaning routines, and actually enjoys them. He's a brilliant plant parent, second to Jehan.

• That people sometimes wait for him to "open up" and ultimately "reveal" his softboi self. He's what he is, not a coconut. -_-

• The Amis do know all this, and live him for what he is. Just, some others don't believe him. :(

Combeferre:

• Wants people to know that he is not always so "put-together". That there are days when he has crippling anxiety and self-doubt and can't get out of bed, let alone shower and make breakfast. There are also days in which he can't stop himself from crying in the Musain's bathroom, for inexplicable reasons.

• He also has extremely short bitten-off nails.

• He's frustrated when people don't believe that he has ever received horrible feedback on his dissertation drafts and has a few fail grades in his school report cards. The last thing he wants is people brushing off his sadness at bad feedback because "ofc you'll bounce back, duh!"

• He's super scared of brain fart moments, or being cornered with things he's not clever at at all. Like card games. He's clever at some things, not so in others, and is NOT a know-it-all.

• His favourite birthday gifts are never books.

• His temper is actually shorter than people think it is. He can snap fairly quickly when someone is actively being an asshole. He resorts to sarcasm usually, because if he gets angry angry, he starts crying.

• He wishes that people don't look at him simply as an over-serious, nerdy, kind-of-dull Deputy Enjolras. He has a completely different style of leadership to Enj, which often helps the Amis a lot, particularly in non-protest events like fundraisers, awareness campaigns and bake sales.

• He is actually pretty good at displays of affection (even the cheesy kind), which he combines with acts of service.

• He knows when people are absent-mindedly nodding away when he launches into his nerd rants about moths, science, art and cinema. He has reduced his rants to a bare minimum, and most people think it is him being quiet.

• There are days when being the mediator/ "mom-friend" burns him out.

• He's extremely picky while shopping. He'll spend HOURS looking for the perfect sweater vest/cardigan/turtleneck and shirt combination. Even though they are almost always shades of blue, black, white and grey, they often come with neon yellow or pink accents. He DOES NOT like argyle, and barely tolerates beige.

• He has ridiculously dramatic classical music choices. Courf once found his "angry playlist" (it had Verdi's Requiem, Beethoven's Fifth, Grieg's Hall of the Mountain King, and Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries). Ferre often plays it while proof-reading his papers, or after a fight with Enjolras.

Courfeyrac

• He gets really miffed when some people infantilize him. He's the eldest sibling in his family, for fuck's sake, he knows how to take charge and be the adult in the house! And no, he doesn't break things at the drop of a hat.

• He has trust issues. He can make small talk sound like really friendly conversations, but it takes him months to trust people enough to tell them about what he really likes, dislikes, wants and opines. The ultimate trust test? When he finally trusts someone enough to cry in front of them.

• He's just as good a "mom-friend" as Ferre. Taking care of R when he's low? He's there. Applying first aid to all of them after protests? He's got it. Making sure to check on Eponine when he babysits Gavroche? Yep. Goes out of his way to look for Cosette to stop Marius's pining? Yes again. He feels a little low when the same people he had "mothered" over treat him like an overenthusiastic kid.

• He likes glitter. He isn't obsessed with it. And certainly doesn't carry bucketfuls of it, because it can get inconvenient af. His pink colour choices are oddly specific (he loves baby pink, and dislikes Barbie pink).

• He needs his alone-time to recharge. A LOT of it. He walks all around the city in those days, headphones on, blocking out the world. He likes calm classical music then, instead of his usual repertoire.

• He was really good at schoolwork. It's just that he didn't want to walk the academic path for his career. He loves to indulge in loooong, nerdy debates about anything and everything with people. And he ABSOLUTELY rips people a new one when they look at his pink denim aesthetic and try to peg him as airheaded and stupid (if the other Amis don't get to the people first).

• Marius does Courf's nails better than he does it himself. Far better. Also makeup.

• Contrary to popular belief, he doesn't randomly talk to everyone he meets. He just happens to participate in a lot of group events.

• Like Enj, Courf is extremely scared of his own prejudices and problematic sides.

• For the longest time, he hid the fact that he loves wearing makeup, dieting, watching Queer Eye and reading cheesy romance paperbacks because he was super scared that people would judge him. The Amis doesn't, so he showers them with trivia on these.

• Courf is actually really punctual, but on reaching the venue he usually finds someone needing his help, so he dumps his bag in the Musain and runs out again. The bag is evidence of his punctuality.
