#insert Advent Children angst

[bramblequeen]

Silly Kingdom Hearts AU where the Destiny Trio are actually part of the OG FF7 world/Midgar, with Sora and Riku ending up as part of the Shinra SOLDIER program because their propaganda is insane. I wouldn’t put it past Shinra employing literal child soldiers…

Sephiroth Asks Done as Survey

Questions found at this reblogged post: https://www.tumblr.com/prismaticpichu/772976578058715136

Do you project onto this character? Yes. I feel like I project onto all of my most favorites, including him.

Did you always like this character? No, actually! I first met him in Advent Children and hated him until my friend Twirlquest introduced to me the concept of Sane Sephiroth. This was before Crisis Core and we had very little to go on, but her intriguing descriptions based on what we did know caused me to give him another chance. It wasn’t long and I just adored him and never looked back.

What first drew you to this character? My friend’s thoughts on what he was like when sane.

Did you initially dislike/hate this character? Yes.

If this character were a woman, would you honestly still like them? Or in reverse, what if they were a man? I would still like her, but I prefer him being what he was intended to be. ;) A gorgeous man with beautiful long hair (including eyelashes) and a very manly chest. Being physically attracted to him when he’s a man is part of the fun for me!

Do you have any nicknames or pet names you use for this character? Seph. It’s easier and quicker than typing his full name every time.

Does the character’s age matter to you? I prefer him as an adult, honestly.

Does the character’s looks/design matter to you? Very, very much. His hair length and color are so iconic, as is his open coat.

Does this character remind you of anyone you know? Does that affect how you see them? No and no.

Do you see yourself in this character even without projecting? In his introversion, being misunderstood, and longing for loved ones who stay, yes.

How did you “fall in love” with this character? As I came to get to know the true, sane him, it was impossible not to fall in love with him. It would be even harder not to now, as Square is pulling out all the stops to show how wonderful he is. The Rebirth Ultimania describes him as having a gentleness and being the perfect boss. Squeeee!

If you could write effortlessly and as much as you wanted, what story (s) would you write for this character? The ones I am writing, lol. And others I’m planning that I don’t want to reveal just yet!

If you could draw effortlessly and as much as you wanted, what scene (s) would you draw for this character? Probably more hurt/comfort scenes with him and Cloud, and also just some sweet, sweet comfort ones. Maybe them under the mistletoe, both FF and KH versions, from the respective fics where that happened.

Are you physically attracted to this character? Yes.

Are your thoughts surrounding this character usually sexual, non-sexual, or a mix of both? I’ve never admitted it before, but Sephiroth is honestly the only character ever who has affected me sexually in the least. That said, it’s generally non-sexual.

Have you ever cried when thinking about this character? Genuinely? Offhand I don’t remember doing so, at least not canon-wise, but the other day I was bawling over a sad ficlet I was doing with his Kingdom Hearts counterpart.

Have you ever felt physical pain over this character? (ex: physical heartache). Yes.

Do you prefer to see this character suffer or know peace? Angst or comfort? Both? While I love writing hurt/comfort fics with him as the victim, I really ultimately want him to be happy. I do not like seeing him be harmed in canon and it definitely hurt when I saw him killed about four or five times in one week. I did not like that even though he was doing horrible things while insane and had to be stopped.

Does this character serve as a stress ball/ security blanket for you? Something you run to after a bad day to feel safe or happier? Definitely.

Do you feel affectionate towards this character? Yes!

Are your feelings about this character platonic, romantic, or familial? All of these feelings at once maybe? It’s usually platonic, but occasionally romantic (even though I don’t self-insert to date him, heh).

Do you think you will always love this character? Pretty sure.

Has this character permanently altered or impacted your psyche in a way you won’t forget? I would say so.

Do you ever dream about this character? If so, describe a dream you once had about them. I do. One in particular with him and Aerith in the Old West became the basis for my fic To Blossom As the Rose.

What kind of fan-fiction do you read about this character? If you don’t read fan-fics about them, why not? I love to read sweet Seph & Zack and Seph & Cloud squee.

If you look for this character’s name on AO3, what tags are you including or excluding? Probably Sephiroth (Compilation of FFVII), Sephiroth (Kingdom Hearts), and/or Zack Fair & Sephiroth, Sephiroth & Cloud Strife, and Sephiroth/Cloud Strife.

Do you like to ship this character with other characters or do you prefer not to? I platonically ship Seph and Zack and Seph and Cloud, and I can’t deny I do like Sefikura as long as Cloud wants to be with him. I do not care for any fics or art where Cloud is being forced against his will.

Do you get defensive about this character? If yes, then why? I try to be more chill these days than in the past about such things, but I could see myself still getting defensive of him if I felt someone just didn’t understand him/wasn’t being fair to him and they were pestering me about it. Either that or I’d feel more like Seph did when he met Genesis in chapter 3 of Crisis Core and was so weary of the jealousy and said, “How pointless.”

Do you affectionately bully this character? If by that you mean write and draw hurt/comfort with him as the victim, then yes. Although sometimes it seems more like I’m bullying Cloud when I do that, since he goes through the wringer because of it.

Are you especially sensitive about this character? Probably.

Are you ashamed of liking this character? No!

If you could make this character a meal, what would you make them? Pumpkin soup, thanks to Ever Crisis lore.

Are you “blinded by love” for this character or do you accept any flaws they may have? I hope I see his flaws. They’re rather glaring when he’s insane. Although I can’t deny he seems much less flawed when sane! :^)

Does this character inspire you with little things in your daily life? Honestly, he inspires me more with big things. Because of my love for him despite how badly he cracked up, I am trying very hard to be more patient with certain people in my life.

Has this character ever prevented you from sleeping because you can’t stop thinking about them? Yes, lol. Sometimes the plunnies are just too much!

Do you feel a spiritual/soulmate connection with this character? I think so.

Is your love for this character a secret from people you know in real life? From a lot of people, I suppose, who might not understand how different he is when sane and think I’m in love with an archvillain.

Do you tend to joke more about dying or killing for this character? Both? What causes the distinction? Not really into jokes like that.

Do you feel lovesick over this character? I don’t think so?

Are you very empathetic towards this character? When they feel a certain way in the story, do you feel those emotions too? Very much yes.

Do you prefer to interact with this character directly via self-insert/reader type content? Or do you enjoy seeing them mostly with other characters in the story and/or your Ocs? I want him to interact with Zack and Cloud.

If you could, would you write this character a song or poem? Probably, lol. I would still like to figure out lyrics for a heroic One-Winged Angel. (Yes, I know we have the beautiful Ever Crisis song, but I really want to hear the actual One-Winged Angel song with heroic lyrics!)

What type of weather makes you think of this character? Any kind, lol. Maybe snow, though. It was snowing when I ordered my first Seph figure years ago, the original Play Arts AC Seph, and I was worried the snowstorms would delay or prevent his arrival.

Which season makes you think of this character? Any season, lol. Maybe winter especially, though. It was also winter when I first became obsessed with FF7 and Seph.

Do you feel as if you are intimately familiar with this character? I definitely like to feel like I know him very well, but there are likely others who know him even more. Let’s say I am intimately familiar with the Sephs in my verses. :)

How much do bad interpretations of this character upset you? They rather frustrate and irritate and disappoint me, so I try to stay away from them.

Does this character ever make you laugh sincerely? I’m sure some of his sarcastic cracks have. This is more Cloud, but I keep getting the giggles over this one deleted scene from AC where after Seph says his classic line, “I’ve thought of a wonderful present for you. Shall I give you despair?” Cloud retorts, “Don’t be so generous!” ROTFLOL. I wish so much they had kept that!

What’s your favorite physical/design feature for this character? Long silver hair, incredible eyelashes, beautiful chest.

What’s your favorite personality trait in this character? His kindness and gentleness.

Link your fav song, playlist, aesthetic board, fan-fiction, reference pile, personal artwork, analysis post, meme, headcanon, or quote for this character. Whichever one (s) you are most comfortable with! I have so many, but here is a meme I created: https://www.deviantart.com/meromeroyui/art/Sephiroth-Motivational-Poster-1097293757

-opens my mouth and an air raid siren noise comes out-

Wendy you KNOW how annoying I'm going to get when Rebirth comes out. I'm going to have to make a separate blog just to liveblog it.

We all know Angeal's ship has sailed in what some (fools) would call ambiguous canon, and I'm not going to get a single SCRAP of content of him so I'm gonna talk about my bestie of all time ZACK!

I ugly sobbed just seeing him when I watched Advent Children the other day, I don't know how I'm going to keep myself fucking composed when he's in a whole ass GAME.

Might just have to postpone my insert's death just to see the interaction potential for Rebirth. Since after the confrontation we had before Nibelheim, we never saw each other again. So that's gonna have angst material. There will be tears. So many tears. AND THE FIRST ZACK HUG IN 5 YEARS OR SO, HOW DID I LIVE WITHOUT ONE FOR SO LONG (by dying, that's how)

I'm still dubious about trusting Nomura with anyone I care about but we'll seeeeeeee what happens. :'D

I want to hear about other peoples' ff7 ships (so long as not Rufus or Reno) 👀 even if we've already talked about your ship I would love to hear you gush today!!!!

I can't gush with my hurt hands so let me live vicariously through you!!!

Heya!

Hello, I’m Mod Aeris and this is my self-insert writing blog for a few things Final Fantasy! This isn't my first writing blog (my first being a fire emblem writing blog), so I do have enough experience. I’m not sure how popular self-inserts in the ff community is, but considering I haven't seen that many - compared to the fe community -, I decided to simply make a blog and go with the flow of the community! 

The rules for requesting are under the cut. You can already request something of course. I have a ton of writing motivation for final fantasy, so stuff should come out faster than on my fe writing blog. 

𝑹𝒖𝒍𝒆𝒔!

  ོI write in form of drabbles and headcanons! I personally prefer drabbles - since drabbles are usually with more detail -, but! I also like headcanons. No worries! If you want headcanons, then I accept 3 characters per request. The more characters you request, the shorter the headcanons will be but I'll make them lengthy enough dw!

  ོLGBTQ+ is totally respected and loved on this blog! So feel free to send fem!s/o x fem!character and the same with the males of course! If gender is not mentioned for the reader, then I usually stick with gender neutral - but also sometimes go with straight pairings depending on the request!

  ོI accept tooth-rooting fluff, the good ole angst and naughty nsfw! (I won't write nsfw DRABBLES though, that goes out of my comfort zone. Headcanons are fine!)

  ོI do not write AUs! I personally really like sticking to the original but depending on the AU, I might accept. Something I would accept is: “How about an AU of Genesis not defecting and seeking help from his s/o instead after the degradation started?” or something like along those lines. So, I’m not the biggest fan of things like modern AUs but I accept minor AUs as long as it still involves the general idea of the game!

  ོI will definitely step up my game on this blog and reblog the nsfw alphabet, the sfw alphabet, starter sentences etc etc. for you to request. On my other blog I stick to headcanons, drabbles and the sfw alphabet. Will also do matchmaking if this blog hopefully gets noticed. If you request some of the alphabets, then the max. is 5 alphabets!

  ོAlong AUs, I also do not write Yandere! Please for the love of god, don't request that. If you love Yandere, then that’s loved and respected, but this is the wrong place for this stuff. Yanderes make me severely uncomfortable. 

  ོno incest, pedophilia and r*pe should be obvious. If you request something like that, your request will simply be deleted.��

  ོwhile I do not mind (trigger warning!!) writing a suicidal reader, I will for sure tag that so people who feel uncomfortable seeing that stuff, can simply block the tag. I will definitely tell you the tag once I have one set. Trigger warnings will of course be added as well. While I am here, I definitely will not write anything too gore-like regarding stuff like this. 

  ོI also of course accept platonic stuff! Those are my weakness like omgomg. 

𝑯𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒈𝒂𝒎𝒆𝒔 𝑰 𝒘𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒓:

▻ Final Fantasy II

▻ Final Fantasy V

▻ Final Fantasy VI

▻ Final Fantasy VII compilation (Crisis Core, VII, Advent Children and Dirge of Cerberus)

▻ Final Fantasy VIII

▻ Final Fantasy IX

▻ Final Fantasy X/X-2

▻ Final Fantasy XIII series

▻ Final Fantasy XV (including Kingsglaive characters)

These are the only games I'll write for for now. I also plan to play IX and XII along with watching a gameplay of Type-0, though that’s a plan for the distant future. I work and go to school once a week, so yeah you get the drill. 

I write for most of the characters, except for Hojo and Hollander. If you request something Sephiroth, then I'll always write Crisis Core! Seph. (I miss him so much ouch damn...) If you request something with ughhh romantic headcanons with Hope, then I’ll go with XIII-2 Hope. I don't write romance for 14-years-olds.

That should be it for now. I’ll update this list from time to time and if I change something drastically, I’ll let you know. Same goes with adding new games to the request list. If there are any questions, send an ask!
