Do you ever think Cloud went to Reeve for help with the Fusion Sword or Fenrir? Looking over blueprints or possible add-ons? Do you think Reeve had the idea for the compartments on Fenrir for the Fusion Sword?

Do you ever think they bonded over mechanics and tinkering?

(im sorry i know this is based very heavily on my 'post-vii cloud likes working on his bike and sword(s)' headcanon but. the fusion sword had to have come from Somewhere, right? fenrir needs to be looked over regularly so it keeps running properly, right? do you See my vision?)

Absolutely, at the very least with Fenrir! I think that the idea for the fusion sword came from Cloud - my headcanon is that post-FFVII Cloud tries to find a new weapon and ends up using dual blades (unpopular weapon, so it’s easy to get his hands on, light and easy to carry around), but misses the heft of the buster, and so ends up sketching up various ideas for the fusion sword and went through a few different designs, and eventually asks for Reeve to help him figure out the specifics to get it to actually work.

And then I headcanon that a lot of Cloud's initial traveling post-FFVII is going places and doing things for Reeve ex: checking on reactors and such, and so Reeve slowly started to upgrade Cloud's motorcycle (mostly from ideas that Cloud gets while on the road) until we get to Fenrir! Cloud loves the bike and wants to know more about it, Reeve loves sharing stuff and also thinks it'd good for Cloud to know how to fix up at least some problems, and voila, hanging out!... not that Cloud's great to hang out with pre Advent Children, but oh well.

Now you may think, gee, wouldn't Reeve be too busy as the head of the WRO for doing mechanical stuff? To which I say, the guy's gotta unwind somehow.

The compartments in my mind were originally Cloud would stick his swords into the bike if he was battling while riding. By this time he knew where to put them that wouldn't do too much damage, but it drove Reeve crazy and so he designed the comparments so that Cloud would stop carving into his bike.

Oh, sorry. I was paraphrasing so no one would know how many times I've watched it lmao. it went like this:

Ed is pointing the gun at his own head. Izzy yells something like "fuck it ed" or maybe "fuckenend" to break him out of it. Then he says, "The atmosphere on this ship is fucked. Everyone knows why."

Ed turns around with his gun lowered, and says, "I don't. Enlighten me."

Izzy says, "your feelings for Stede fucking Bonnet." Ed shoots him in the leg and makes Frenchie first mate.

I feel that Ed shot him because Izzy blamed the poisonous atmosphere on his love for Stede, when Izzy is the one who told Ed he'd rather see him dead than soft. He felt threatened, he went kraken mode, and got lost in it. No one else knows about that, but Izzy does and Ed does. if Izzy hadn't threatened him the vibe would be talent shows, sharing feelings, and talking things through.

Ok so I'm pretty sure that when Ed was like, "oh? why's the vibe gone poisonous around here? enlighten me," and then Izzy said, "because you love Stede," and then Ed shot him in the leg?

It was because Izzy was clearly wrong. loving Stede is good for him. it makes him happy. Stede leaving hurt him, but the vibe went rancid when Izzy threatened Ed and told him how to act.

It was not just for "saying Stede's name," like Izzy says.

Yo, literally no worries if you don't wanna do this since you're not a userbox creator and just made those for shits and giggles. But would it be possible to please get the ABO userboxes with Omegaverse instead? Just a preference in title for me. Thank you if you do this!

i hope this phrasing works? these are a bit of a pain but the more i make the easier it gets so this was np.

Part two of this post-tkluts drabble:

The letter sat on his desk.

Objectively it was simply a letter. It was nothing but paper. Yet somehow, to him, it was the most dangerous thing to cross his path since the maelstrom.

Weeks of being passed across the continent had crumpled the envelope but the 'N' stamp of its wax-like seal remained untouched. The contrast gave it an ethereal quality. Or, perhaps, it was simply knowing who the commander of the stamp was that gave it it's power.

Careful to keep the seal in tact, plans of where he could hide it after already forming, Pierre opened the letter, devouring every detail with in it.

On the second page there was a small smudge in the ink. The ghost of a finger print. Pierre brushed the paper against his lips. Despite over a year having past since fleeing the Nautilus, the Captain still had such a hold over him that even a fraction of an echo could draw him in.

Caressing the pages he noted that the familiar handwriting covering the pages was not as seamless as it had been in the dinner invitations and notations of his memories. Here, deep blue lines occasionally seemed to stutter, parts of letters has dark spots from pauses. Without reading the words, just the ink, Pierre could see so much.

Finally, with a quiet sob, he began to read.

Warning for Unpopular Opinion:

I kinda hate Primis Richtofen

As a character, he's fantastic. But if I were to ever cross paths with him, he would be on the receiving end of at least 28 stab wounds.

Strap in for another Long Fucking Textpost.

I have three main gripes with the guy.

1. How he treats Victis/The Rest of Primis

Richtofen manipulates Victis into doing his dirty work, actively putting their lives in danger by siccing Undead Ultimis Richtofen on them, and then puts them on ice in a parallel to his Ultimis self doing the same thing to his teammates. Not to mention Victis is frozen in a HELL POCKET DIMENSION. And EVEN THEN, he’s not even the one to wake them up; it’s Ultimis Richtofen, likely prompted by Primis Nikolai. 

As for how he treats his team, holy shit. He deceives them the entire cycle. Sure, he didn’t technically lie to them, but omission of information is just as bad. The other three had no idea what they were walking into. They didn’t expect to have to kill themselves. And that’s the fucking thing. They didn’t sign up for this. Richtofen clearly never asked if the other three wanted to live in Agartha with him. Richtofen never considered that they have lives of their own, outside of the cycle. Richtofen considered his own goals above the lives of his team. In ZnS one of his opening lines is “Do you trust me, [whichever of the three he is talking to]?”, to which both Dempsey and Takeo respond that they feel like they have no choice but to and Nikolai who basically says no. And yet, RIchtofen keeps charging ahead, doing “what he has to”. Sure, he ensured that they didn’t get wiped from existence, nevermind the fact that they wouldn’t have even been in danger of that without Richtofen leading them there. Instead, Richtofen leads them in a fucking circle. They’re going to do the same song and dance, forever. Now, no matter how much personal beef I have with BO4’s writing, it’s implied that the only way peace could ever be achieved is through the Motherfuckers’ deaths. Accepting his own death is something Richtofen could never do, we even see it happen. When he dies in Blood, it’s not graceful. Rather than subject himself to death, he instead has everyone go through something arguably worse, a never-ending loop of suicide by proxy. What the actual fuck.

2. Dimensional collapse

Richtofen lets Dimension 63 (Morg City [SoE]) get eaten by Apothicons. To give him some credit, there’s probably not a lot he could’ve done by himself. Apothicons are known for gobbling down dimensions like rednecks at a pie eating contest. But also. There was Keeper intervention. Maybe let the Keeper use the Incredibly Powerful, yet Loosely Defined MacGuffin #52 to save the dimension before swooping in, stealing the Key, and then dipping? I don’t know man, the general lack of remorse in his actions, the whole “I have a universe to set right” line before dooming the entire place just rubs me the wrong way.

3. General Assholery

Richtofen is a bit of an arrogant prick. The apparent reason the others can’t peek at the Big Book of Plot Convenience is because they’re too stupid. He also refuses to answer any of their questions. No wonder the other three don’t trust him, what with his complete and utter lack of transparency and his compulsive need to beat around every goddamn bush in the Forest of Equivocation.

On a slightly different note, there’s one quote of his that stood out to me. It’s a start of session conversation with Takeo.

Takeo: “I fear that denying Dempsey the chance to better understand himself may have… consequences.”

Richtofen: “Even had he been conscious before his death, I do not believe that Dempsey had any… great knowledge to impart.”

What the hell. My Brother in CoD, you made him that way. An alternate you literally experimented on and tortured him and then froze him taking away all autonomy from him. Not only that, you selected that dimension. You chose that specific Dempsey. If you wanted a "smart” Dempsey, then literally go anywhere else and murder him instead. Holy fucking shit. And Primis Dempsey is also there. Mourning himself. And you’re out here insulting a dead man that you murdered behind his back. Richtofen did murder him; Dempsey was coerced into doing it. Even fucking worse, is that Dempsey confesses to Nikolai that he’s starting to trust Richtofen. The one thing Richtofen wants most and he doesn’t deserve it.

However, the actual worst part is that nothing comes from Dempsey not being able to properly meet with his other self. Dempsey pulls himself together by himself, which is very admirable, but does have the unfortunate outcome of confirming Richtofen’s position. There were no ramifications. That Dempsey was simply an idiot who had nothing of worth to contribute, other than his death.

PART 4: END OF POST WHERE I SAY MORE RANDOM BULLSHIT IN A SLIGHTLY INCREASED INCOHERENT WAY AS A MOCKERY OF A CONCLUSION

Ok now to preface this I’m not attacking anybody who interprets Primis Richtofen differently.  He's a fictional character and other people viewing art in a different way than me will not cramp my style.

I do think that he genuinely loved his friends and wanted the best for all of them. The way he goes about it is just one of the worst ways possible. Comedically terrible, falling on his face, fucking Looney Tunes-ing it up. 

Simultaneously, however, I think at his core, Richtofen is a selfish character. And that’s shown in both version’s actions. Ultimis is pretty blatant in his egoistic pursuits. I spent the entire post pretty much draggin Primis in the mud, so I’m not going to repeat myself.

To end this: I hate him so much I want to rip him to pieces. But I also really like him as a character, so I would sitch him back together. And then his insufferable face would send me into an irrepressible rage and I’d shred him again. Rinse and repeat.
