i do not care what sqeenix tries to tell me w modern sephi but istg

that man does NOT have the energy to smirk as much as he does. bro looks like he's dissociating all the damn time. you call his name and he responds w the most hollow, tired, and mumbly "hm?" you've ever heard in your life. you try to hold a conversation w this man and he has the most tired and detached look in his eyes.

he just looks so ungodly done and miserable to me in the og art, like he's just holding on to reality to do his job and then just blip out of existence again bc of how draining it is to simply think

homeslice would most likely cry sooner than he'd smirk, that's for sure. i refuse to let go of the personal hq that he cried hysterically after zack left the library

i just enjoy my emotionally spent murder man

“I’m sorry. I became the very thing I vowed not to be.”

“Don’t be sorry, it’s not your fault.”

Art template meme (Iykyk re: the template, I couldn’t help it, it fit the scenario so perfectly)

HELLOOOO y’all heard of monster fucking, but have you ever heard of monster angst instead? Well look no further, because boy oh boy I got a lot of it rotating in my head like a rotisserie chicken.

Anyways, I do some writing for fun, surprise, this is my AU that I word vomited out awhile back. If you know the fic, no you don’t. Who the fuck wrote that? Not me.

Your typical post AC Sephiroth revival + redemption but with a twist, aka his body is too far gone to be saved so he has to deal with some really fucked up body dysmorphia along with the already existing trauma and consequences of his actions under Jenova’s control.

And also yes he’s crying mako tears.

Edit: Finally released the fic from hell 🦭

Comfort headcanons!!

⋆ ࣪. ℂ𝕙𝕒𝕣𝕒𝕔𝕥𝕖𝕣𝕤 ≫ Cloud, Zack and my bby Vincent

⋆ ࣪. 𝕎𝕒𝕣𝕟𝕚𝕟𝕘𝕤 ≫ none, just fluff

⋆ ࣪. 𝔸/ℕ ≫ First little fic after a while, hope you guys enjoy!!

Cloud

★ As we all know, he isn't the best comfort buddy

★ But, through all the years he had to slowly leave behind all his trauma, he definitely has softened up

★ Secretly loves the way you would fall asleep on him after bawling your eyes out

★ Obviously not much of a talker, he prefers to listen and just be there for you

★ I just love to think that it always ends up in a hours-lasting cuddling session, doesn't matter if he was the one who needed to be comforted or the other way around

"It´s fine, really" However, your puffy cheeks said otherwise as you adverted your gaze from him. Your arms hugging your body wearily, soft sniffles and of course, your ragged breathing was all you had let him see. His approach was sincere, walking slowly up to you just to place a hand on your shoulder, he sure had improved on how to just... listen over the years. "Talk to me" But still you wouldn't budge, turning your face from him, embarrassed he had to see you like this once again. So after huffing out a sigh he seemed to have been holding for quite a while now, he placed his left hand on your unoccupied shoulder and pulled you closer to him. Then you let go, ugly sobbing into his chest as you fisted his shirt. His hands trying the most soothing patterns he recalls you drawing on his back after a rough day. He would caress as tenderly as he could, not quite being used to touching a texture softer than the handle of his sword, to hear such pretty cries and not from death. "Sorry, I just-" You hiccuped after you had rambled your sorrows into the tension-filled air of your room. However, he didn't budge, muffling your priceless apologies into his chest as he opted to just hold you for however you needed him to. That was his way of showing you how much he appreciated you, everything you had done to soothe him, he will reciprocate too.

Zack

★ MAJOR comforter

★ I mean, he doesn't even have to do anything, his meere presence is just so comforting

★ He feels bad about it but he loves your face whenever you're grumpy or upset, he just finds your tear-stained cheeks so cute!

★ Oh and btw, you aren't crying more than 5 minutes when he's around

★ He would do anything to make you forget it, want some icecream? He's already bought like 10 of them. A massage? Face down lying on your mattress asap

"C'mon y/n" You felt his saddened voice ring through your ears, his hands holding your waist as you hid your face under your palms. Your cheekbones glistening and getting irritated from the saltiness of your tears, and the more he tried to sneak a peek out of the them, the worse he felt. "Look at me please" He whispered as he delicately placed his still gloved hands over yours, finally prying them off your gorgerous face. "There we go, as beautiful as I remember" You didn't know why, but at first glance, his dumb but somewhat anxious smile looking down at you made you mimic his own expression, earning a playful laugh from him. It really wasn't fair, you thought, you could never be upset around him. "What? Got something funny on my face?" He joked before swiftly moving his hands and reaching the sides of your waist, nagging your sides until he had to catch you from falling on your ass as you laughed. "You're such a dork" You giggled out after he lifted you into his arms, your feet dangling off the floor as your arms were trapped under a bear hug. Hearts beating shakily into each other the more he nuzzled into you. "Yeah, but you love it"

Vincent

★ Tbh I think he's the most compressive of the three

★ Would and will listen to you ramble for hours of necessary, he's such a hopeless romantic

★ Not a fan of physical contact but if you are, he would not complain if you wanted to cuddle with him

★ (I mean this mf is always sleeping on his coffin)

★ Will do whatever you felt more comfortable with, if you just want him to listen and be there, he will, if you want to be alone, he will leave you be (but ofc he later would be looking for you to see if you were fine)

"Who was it?" A sudden deep voice rang through your ears, making you jolt up from the floor as you looked around to spot the source of it. And of course, it was your deary sneaky vampire. "Jesus" You choked out before turning your back to him, telling him that one, he really should stop sneaking on you like that and two, of course it was nothing. Either way, as soon as he heard your pained voice he knew you required some comfort, he's been there already. The more you stepped away, the more he tried to approach you, finally getting to wrap his cold arms on your waist as your back pressed against his chest. . . . You both stayed like that for a while, rocking back and forth as he lulled you, letting you cry out your last tears before you finally felt relief, slumping down on him as sleepiness took over your features.

He huffed out what seemed a quiet laugh before dragging you back into your bed, sitting on it first as he let you nestle on his lap, your cheek pressed against his shoulder as you slowly dozed off on him. His cloack sure was comforting.

Bonus!!

"Don't let such a stupid thing get into your head dummy" "Yeah, she's right y/n" You swore you couldn't feel any warmer in that moment, the girl's you've always looked up to were sweeter than ever. And yeah, it was a stupid thing you were upset about too.

Then they both took you on one of the best improvised little dates ever, taking walks and admiring the (not-so-clean) streets of Midgar. Then Aerith took you to her house, Tifa following shortly behind you as they both giggled playfully.

A cuddling session followed closely and you were absolutely living it. Snacking on some homemade food Aerith's mom had worked on the day before and nuzzling your head onto Aerith's chest meanwhile Tifa had her arms around you for behind.

"You both are the best, really"

You sighed out, your eyes not puffy anymore as you glanced at both of them. Earning more sweet comments from the brunnete and nods from the bartender.

Sephiroth for hc game!!!

YESS MORE FOR THE BOY 🖤

Headcanon A:  realistic

Sephiroth loved his friends more than he loved himself. He struggled with the feeling of loathing his own existence daily — the inhuman monster, the killing machine, the false hero, the overused weapon. But with Genesis and Angeal, he felt human. He felt as if they loved who he was and not what he was. That feeling birthed a certain dependence on their livelihood and love that was far more fragile that anyone could have guessed, and when they left, the reason for Sephiroth to see himself as a human worthy of love and security and acceptance slowly died out.

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

Sephiroth used to accidentally break things all the time when he was in a nicer or more delicate setting than the battlefield or HQ. He was never TRYING to break stuff but he constantly underestimated his own grip strength several times and just…

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

Seph reached a point of extreme despair after Angeal’s death and Genesis’ uncertain KIA status, which led him to think dark, hopeless thoughts about giving up. But what pulled him out of the fog was a secret routine he developed for a few months where he snuck into the training room like they all used to, and sparred with the simulated versions of Genesis and Angeal. Over and over again. All in dead silence. Until news about Genesis’ possible survival came, it was just enough.

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

Angeal, Genesis, and Zack have all called him “Seph” AT LEAST ONCE IN THEIR TIME TOGETHER 😭 I REFUSE TO LET THIS NICKNAME GO

AGSZC + Sephiroth Collecting Paper Scraps = Warm Fuzzy Shenanigans

AGZC leaving Sephiroth a variety of notes in various places, stuck to various things. Some are romantic, some are platonic, some are a simple doodle. They're left in books, on shelves, on walls, attached to magnetic surfaces, attached to each other, etc.

Sephiroth has a scrapbook full of them. The random bits of paper can be put wherever, but the ones from his partners are special.

No one lets arguments they're having seep into the messages, even toward each other. These are specifically for Sephiroth's use in his collection. It doesn't need to be sullied like that.

Sometimes the notes are fastened to gifts or to harmless pranks. A discussion had to be held about this after Sephiroth ended up with a note smelling richly of premium catnip and 16 hours of his life unaccounted for. The incidents that occurred during that time frame were totally unrelated and absolutely couldn't be proven that he had any part in them.

Genesis uses this as an excuse to buy quality stationary. Obscenely priced, quality stationary. Never mind that a block of notepaper would've done just fine, of course...

Angeal is at war with so many sides of his personality because of this habit Sephiroth has. He has to stop himself from cleaning everything up. He still doesn't fully settle until it's called a "collection" and Sephiroth is the owner of empty scrapbooks to fill.

Zack takes it as a challenge to leave him notes in as many unusual places as possible. When he gets told off for leaving one on the light fixture in the middle of the Soldier cafeteria during peak hungry times, he goes on to find another way to make leaving notes just as special as what's inside them. He eventually turns to origami. It has the bonus side effect of being a calming activity for him.

Cloud simply leaves his messages in the most simple, straightforward of manner. Middle of the fridge? Check. Next to the fridge handle? Also check. Coffee mug? Check. Coffee maker? Check. Bathroom mirror? Check. Masamune? Check. Pauldron? Check. Office (that was closed last night & securely locked with clearance he doesn't yet have to be in there alone) Chair? Check. Office ("[ditto]") Desk? Check. Office ("[guess. double dare you.]") Computer Screen? Check. He may be a simple backwater expert country boy, but his feelings for his partners are immense.

Long eloquent messages? Genesis, Cloud.

Average sized notes with a paragraph of words? Angeal, Cloud.

Simple, single sentence missive? Zack, Cloud.

An ostentatious note slipped into an equally ostentatious envelope, sealed with wax and accentuated with gold leaf containing the one word message of "Bitch. ❤️"? Genesis

Single label from the newest label maker saying "beloved"? Angeal, Zack.

One love letter filled with drunken love proclamations addressed to "Sexiroth TooFuckin' Hot": Zack

Post-It with a chocobo and kitten sketch done, smelling faintly of overcrowded cafeteria and broke bitch? Cloud.

Annnnd these are my HCs. ☺️

 

This is the most precious headcanon ever hhhhhnnn. I wonder if years later, when Sephiroth is alone amidst those towering bookshelves in the basement, clutching his latest text, his eyes ever flicker and strain, momentarily tricking him into believing he's holding that scrapbook—that life is still good, still whole. But then he blinks, and the illusion shatters. He's left staring at yet another horrific truth about his creation. The scrapbook is long gone.

[wowa-bublord]

sephiroth gainsborough!!! :D

[divan-daikon]

currently rewatching advent children for the millionth time but like

ive seen a lot of age hcs for the remnants so I'm just gonna throw mine in there.

kadaj: oldest loz & yazoo: younger twins

i mostly think this from the novellas and from what i remember: kadaj was born first and then loz and yazoo materialised at the same time a bit after. i get seeing kadaj or loz being the youngest bc of how they act, but ive always seen kadaj as the oldest. i also think its a funny concept to have yazoo and loz as twins as they have completely different personalities while being bossed around by their short older brother.

i mean, theyre all like a few weeks old or smth. all small babies.

[monsoonpanda]

weird little headcanon: sephiroth was made to grow and put on muscle so fast that he has a ton of tiny silvery healed stretch marks under his uniform. a scattering around his shoulders, but most are on his lower back (because Tall), and hips/thighs. healed within a day, but the scars stayed.

[butchtifalockhart]

sephi…

[strayheartless]

Random body headcanons for AGSZC:

Zacks hyper mobile. His elbows do the thing where they bend to far out when he sticks them up. He can also touch his thumb completely to his wrist and crack his hips. Down side of this is so many broken bones.

Cloud has got little scars on the back of his hands and calf’s from various canings.

However the stupidest scar he has is the one on the inside of his lip where zack bit him as a joke… they were not dating at the time.

Angeal has a couple of scars on his right forearm and elbow from the time he had to get the bone pinned because Genesis pushed him out of a tree when they were eight.

Sephiroth doesn’t really scar unless it’s a deep deep wound. He’s got a few surgery scars but the dumbest one is the one on his wrist that is a suspicious match for Genesis’s dental records (it’s exactly what you think.)

Cloud and Genesis and both incredibly flexible people.

Angeal is about as stiff as a board. Genesis has tried to loosen him up with yoga. It did not work.

Zacks not inflexible, however he overestimates how bendy he actually is and usually hurts himself.

Zack can dance he just chooses to be bad at it. The only time you’ll catch him dancing properly is when he’s trying to wooh his partners.

While Cloud and Genesis are very flexible, Sephiroth has mastered the ability of being able to fit all six foot five of himself in the gap behind the boiler in the airing closet. Many hours have been lost to that place.

Zack runs hotter than the sun.

Genesis runs surprisingly cold for someone who favours fire materia.

Cloud frequently does not recognise that he feels cold. He will walk around with blue lips until Angeal wrestles him into a jumper.

Angeals shoulders have been known to be wider than some door frames.

Don’t ask me where this came from. I do not have the answer.

[foreststarflaime]

Aerith drives around the slums one day in an unmarked white van with “free candy and flowers” scrawled on the side in search of free siblings. None of the slums children fall for it. Sephiroth gets in immediately. So does Angeal, ever the cheapskate. Genesis follows them yelling at Angeal about “obvious scams” and him being the responsible one for once. The door closes and locks behind him. A stray puppy whom they had forgotten about temporarily runs after the truck all the way home. +3 siblings +1 boyfriend

[rosy-crow]

Hcs for Sephiroth!!!

MY BBY

Headcanon A:  realistic

Sephiroth wasn’t joking when he said he asked everyone he met about the photo of his mother. The problem was that the people he asked while growing up were always Shinra employees and execs. He famously asked the President himself about the photo and that’s when the man and the entire board laughed their heads off and dismissed the question. The answer would never be revealed. Lucrecia was erased. Gone. She was a nobody to Shinra after serving her purpose, and her son didn’t know how foolish and ignorant he looked when asking about “Jenova.”

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

One time Genesis and Angeal tried to take a SOLDIER vacation to Costa Del Sol and they secured a space where civilians weren’t allowed so that they could take Sephiroth with them. He had never done such a thing.

When they got there, Gen and Angeal unwound like normal people and just tried to relax on the beach, but they were interrupted by the extremely jarring sight of Sephiroth in full armor half-running up the shore in delighted childlike wonder as he started gathering seashells and extremely poisonous urchins and pufferfish. He was identifying all the specimens like a raving nerd and trying to suppress obvious joy over seeing them all in person for the first time.

Genesis and Angeal found it endearing and wholesome, but also fucking terrifying because Sephiroth’s grins and excited cackles sounded WEIRDLY LIKE A CERTAIN SCIEN—[GUNSHOTS]

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

Sephiroth rarely sleeps laying down and just stands or sits for short periods of time to catch up on lost hours, but when he does lay down to rest in an actual bed, he has an odd habit of rocking himself back and forth until he drifts off. He has no idea why he does it, but something feels about it feels so…safe and right.

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

His sane self would have forgiven Lucrecia for everything over time if they reunited, even in spite of the rough patches idc I AM CLINGING TO HOPECORE 😭
