#no one else saw Sephy there

[theresistanceneverquits]

Is it weird that I interpreted Sephiroth’s presence saving Cloud from drowning and killing the Midgardsormr as Sephiroth taking over Cloud’s body?

a cute lil christmas blurb for sephy :) also my first fic for him!!

word count: 867 warnings: fluff, pre-nibelheim sephiroth, the smallest amount of angst ever, g/n reader

Though you sit in a deserted hallway, the echoing sounds of a chaotic Christmas party reach your ears. It had been the somewhat last-minute idea of some Shinra employees who had nowhere else to go for the holiday- yet it spiraled into a much bigger event once the SOLDIERS caught wind of what was going on. 

You stare out a large window, watching as each snowflake floated ever-so-gently downward. It was rare to see snow in Midgar; and so you were completely in awe, captivated by the white dust that began to cover the floating city. “It’s… so gorgeous,” you sigh, squeezing the man beside you’s hand, tearing your eyes from the snow to look at him. But he wasn’t looking out the window at all, rather, he looked directly at you.

“It’s a rare sight,” Sephiroth breathes, maintaining eye contact. “But perhaps not the most gorgeous thing I’ve seen,” he adds, nodding to you.

You blush at the indirect compliment. “Stop,” you giggle. 

He hums, but says nothing more. Feeling hot underneath his persistent gaze, you look back to the snow.

The roaring of laughter and cheers from the party grows much louder for a few seconds, and you can’t help but wonder what exactly was causing the commotion. “I wonder if they’re doing gifts?” 

“Gifts?” Sephiroth echoes. 

“Yeah. I know I saw a few of them bringing in presents… I wonder if there’s any for you,” you smile.

“I seriously doubt that there would be,” the silver-haired man sighs, and your smile fades into a frown.

“What? Why?”

“No one’s ever gotten me a gift before,” Sephiroth replies. 

As the words leave his lips, you feel a sinking feeling in your stomach, a horrific pang of sadness in your heart. “That can’t be right,” you say, voice becoming shaky. “Never?” 

“Never,” he confirms, and your heart breaks for him. Sephiroth smiles though, perhaps trying to act as though the situation were ironic or somehow funny. But as you gaze into his sparkling Mako eyes, you can see sadness behind them. 

Pulling your hand from his, you envelope his large frame into a hug. “I’m sorry, Seph,” you run a hand through his long, silver hair. “You deserve hundreds- no, thousands of presents.”

“It really doesn’t matter to me,” he shakes his head, but his hands rest on your back. “The only thing I need is you.”

His words make your heart skip a beat. You’d technically been dating for a while now, but you found yourself always feeling shy around him, while Sephiroth tended to open up much more slowly. Those two things combined resulted in a rather slow-moving relationship. So for him to say that meant a lot. Heart soaring, you smile. “Well, if it helps… I did get you a gift. It’s back at my apartment, though.”

“I appreciate it,” Sephiroth gives you a gentle squeeze. 

Pulling back from his embrace, though still holding onto him, you look to the floor beneath you. “Although… I have another gift I could give you now,” you confess, and a bashful feeling rises within you. Were you truly about to be so bold?

“Oh, do you?” He raises an eyebrow, giving you a smirk that melts your heart. 

“Mhm,” you sweetly hum. “Umm… could you close your eyes?”

Sephiroth complies, long lashes brushing over his cheeks as his eyes shut. You look between his now closed eyes and his lips, starting to hesitate. But you’d already told him you had this other gift for him, so there was no going back now. Slowly, you bring your face closer to his, heart beating faster and faster as you begin to feel his breath fanning over your skin. Closing your own eyes, you finally close the space between you and him, pressing your lips to his with a soft, innocent kiss.

You half expect him to pull away, but instead, Sephiroth leans into the kiss, moving a hand up to hold your head, pulling you closer to him. You melt into him, tangling your hands within his hair. 

You stay like this for ten seconds, then thirty seconds, and finally a minute, before you completely lose track of how much time has passed since your lips connected with his. It’s the next wave of distant cheering that reminds you both you’re not truly alone, and that anyone could find you at any second. Though, as you begin to pull away, already missing how soft and warm his lips felt against your own, you decide that you don’t care if anyone sees. If it were possible, you’d kiss him until the end of time, anywhere. 

Sephiroth smiles down at you, his eyes slowly opening. His loving gaze makes your cheeks grow red, and that shyness returns to you. Averting your eyes, you look to the floor again. 

“That was by far the best gift I’ve ever received,” he breathes. “Thank you.”

“B-but I thought it was your first one?” You stammer, voice hushed to nearly a whisper now.

“It’s still my favorite one,” he replies.

Your eyes meet Sephiroth’s again, and you return his smile, before tilting your head up and leaning towards him to give him another ‘gift’.

That One Difference 🫐🪽

Water mama is Sephi's fire extinguisher. - 3-

Nibelheim Incident ain't happening on my watch. Not in my AU. Nuh uh. Because someone actually cares enough about Seph to realise him being in a library for a week with no food, water or sleep is BAD and DOES SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

She also notices how uncomfortable/frustrated he is to be talked into having a photo taken here.

And this is the supposed correct heights for all of them so please just turn a blind eye to all the inconsistent height differences between the two in all my other drawings, k, ty, cough cough.

I haven't fully figured out the exact stage of events but have typed up several scenarios. Aqua would have met up with Sephiroth a fair bit earlier so a bond was already established. He would be confused why she was actually interested in the more human/domestic side of him and be drawn to her. One of them is where he was already headed out to burn the place down but Aqua woke up that same night, saw his room was still empty and ran out to stop him. She gets badly hurt in the process but convinces him to return to the hotel with no one else knowing what almost happened. Another is simply emotional conversation in the library and her convincing him that they need more solid evidence behind his findings and solving the corruption of the matter peacefully.

And she forces him to eat and drink and sleep so he has a clearer head and feels someone is emotionally supporting him. - ^ -

I was quite nervous doing this one despite my sass in the initial paragraph because it's finally something in a FF7 setting, and my background is fairly limited to KH only.

Anyway, thanks for reading my conjurings of happier timez, as usual.

Random note: Tifa's modified outfit was intentional. (It's not a mistake.) I prefer the women I draw to be a tad more clothed wherever possible. > - >

Anyway, FF7 fans, don't kill me please. *back to meek potato self* OwO; -sweating-

Any thoughts or headcanons about Sephiroth and mating press? Please? 👉👈

🥵🥵🥵 You guys know that gif in 7R where he pushes Cloud to the ground and bares his teeth?

Content Warning: NSFW: Dubcon, Breeding Kink, Mommy Kink.

That's exactly what he'll do before mating press his darling. I think this position would be a favorite amongst all Sephiroths (because they're all Sephy ofc) but some more partial to it than others. Such as Female Sephiroth, 7R Sephiroth and C.C. Sephiroth. I think these three tap into their feral natures more often than their counterparts. I mean, just look at the twin boys~.

His twin brother, 7R Sephiroth:

I have a huge primal kink and for Sephiroth, the idea of him going feral with his darling is amazingly hot. What better sex position for that than mating press? I also have a headcanon for a secondary animal motif for 7R Sephiroth, which is the crocodile. They're known for their enormous size and for being opportunistic apex predators. They use being cunning tricks to catch their prey at the right moment..

When I first saw these eyes in the game:

They bore into me with such intensity that I felt like a helpless prey about to be devoured. To me, his eyes weren't like a cat at all - they were the eyes of a ruthless predator, like a crocodile. As a child, my parents' passion for nature and their fixation on apex predators, particularly alligators and crocodiles, meant that I learned a lot about these intimidating and exciting creatures. This is probably why I always enjoyed visiting Florida and being near them. It's so exciting but scary...

Anyways, I also wrote a fic with 7R Sephy and his darling in this position for those interested here. While I'm experimenting with pairing different Sephys with different Darlings, why not some HCs of C.C. mating press the Domestic Darling? 😏 Check out this Sephthought for some context to this pairing.

Imagine C.C. feeling naughty one day while the Domestic Darling is folding laundry, so he sneaks up behind her to embrace her.

Turning around, she planted an innocent kiss on her sweet boy's lips, but it soon turned into a more intense kiss as his tongue invaded her mouth and danced with hers.

She broke the kiss, needing a moment to catch her breath. She commented on how forward her sweet boy was being today, giving him a curious and bashful glance.

He pulled her close again, his voice low yet gleeful as he spoke of his ambition to establish his dynasty over Gaia... And there is no better place to begin that than his precious mother's womb.

Her cheeks grew warm as she tried to process his words.

As she opened her mouth to speak, she didn't register the predatory and lustful glint in his eyes. He then pinned her down aggressively, ready to breed.

In a matter of seconds, he ripped her skirt apart and pulled her lacey panties aside.

He thrusted his thick cock into her warm cunt, showing no mercy as he relentlessly pounded away.

With her legs draped helplessly over his back, the poor darling whimpered in both pain and pleasure as he drove himself balls deep and hit her cervix.

Her sweet pleas for him to be gentle and listen to her were white noise to him.

Her bouncing tits were neglected as well. His mind was consumed with the goal of impregnating her, blinding him to everything else.

Sephiroth knows that his beautiful mother will bore his spawn. They shall help him rule over this planet and the cosmos. No more will these human parasites and other worthless lifeforms continue to exist.

And he will continue to breed her, ensuring that she is never without his seed.

The darling endured hours of unrelenting breeding by C.C, his ragged breathing and grunts filling the air until he released his corrupted seed deep inside her, filling her womb to the brim.

After a brief interlude, he returned to his normal self, still sheathed inside her. He whispered sweet nothings into her ear.

Twisted love and excitement shone in his eyes as he noticed the laundry scattered around them.

"I ruined some of the laundry, Mother..." he said apologetically.

The darling couldn't respond, as she was just fucked silly and filled to the brim with his seed. Her hand trembled as she reached up to his head, giving him a soft, reassuring pat.

After the head pat, his slit eyes briefly dilated. He leaned in to give her a sweet kiss on the lips, holding her in an even tighter embrace.

"I'll never let you go, Mother~" 💜

I'm happy to share some other thoughts on fitting sex positions for Sephy too if you guys want~ 😏😏😏

Same anon as the dragon Sephi one

Love and Deepspace aka LADS is a popular 3D otome game that just released earlier this year. Sylus is one of the LI that was released recently and one of his myths (alternate timeline or past life something something), he is depicted as a dragon. I saw one of his fan edits of his dragon form with long hair and ngl, I easily mistook him for Sephiroth with that 😭 Also, that little bit with Cloud reminds me of another yaoi fanfic I read ages ago wherein the lead's dragon boyfriend won't stop spoiling him by producing large amounts of gold that he could sell LMAO And the image of Cloud reduce to nothing but an angry tuft of blond hair among the sea of gold coins is a really funny image that I can't get out of my head 😂

Ah, Love and Deepspace! I don't play it specifically, but I've definitely seen it!

It's so real. When your dragon boyfriend dumps gold on your lap, what else can you do? 🤣 Cloud is probably angry about it all.

The Nightmare

Snape x OC | Angst/Comfort

Severus wakes from a terrible dream.

Read on Ao3 or under the cut:

Severus woke in a panic, sweat dripping from his brow as he cried out for his wife. He reached out across the bed for her but - she was gone.

He bolted upright, looking around desperately. It couldn’t have been real, could it? Had she truly been taken?

“Sephy!” he called out. “Sephy, where are you? Sephy…”

He brought his knees to his chest, his breathing quick and shallow. She was gone, he had taken her, and their babies too…

Severus almost jumped out of his skin when he felt the mattress move as someone weighed it down. He looked up, and sobbed with relief when he saw Persephone sitting on the side of the bed, concern etched into her beautiful face.

“Oh, Sephy, there you are!” Severus gasped in relief as he threw his arms around her and pulled her body against his. “I thought - are you alright?” His hand flew to her stomach. “Are they okay?”

“Yes, I’m fine, Sev,” Persephone said softly, albeit with some confusion. “Just a bit of morning sickness, that’s all. There’s nothing wrong.”

Severus buried his head in the crook of her neck, inhaling her lavender scent and listening to the throb of her pulse reminding him she was alive.

Persephone cradled him in her arms, holding him protectively. “Did you have a bad dream?” she asked.

Severus nodded, not looking up.

“Oh, Sev, come here. Lie down with me.”

Persephone climbed into her side of the bed and allowed Severus to cling to her, his head resting on her breast, one hand carefully cradling her stomach.

“Do you want to tell me about it?” she asked as she gently stroked his hair.

“It was so vivid,” Severus said hoarsely. “So real… he was back. He took you. I tried to find you but I was too late. He… he killed them. Our babies, he killed them.” He sobbed against her chest, tears staining her nightgown. “Then he… he killed you. I screamed and - and then I woke up, and you weren’t here. I was so frightened, Sephy. What if he does come back? What if there was something we don’t know about -“

“Shh, shh, don’t talk like that,” Persephone said soothingly. She gently took his left arm, the one that was laying over her belly protectively, and carefully turned it over to show him the bare skin. “See? Gone. It died with him.” She took his hand and softly laid it on her skin near where she had felt Ariadne squirming against her organs some minutes earlier. “We are alive, and our love is so strong that we made two of them. Can you feel them?”

Severus closed his eyes and focused. Underneath his hand, ever so gently, he could feel something moving. Then, to his surprise, he felt a kick, right on his hand.

“Does she know I’m here?” he gasped.

Persephone giggled as Ariadne kicked again. “She’s excited to meet her daddy.”

Severus moved down the bed to gently kiss her belly. “Hello, my darlings,” he whispered against her skin. Persephone felt Ariadne stop moving, as if she was listening to his voice.

“Oh, I think we found the secret to calming them down,” Persephone chuckled. “Say something else.”

Severus smirked, pressed his lips against her skin, and murmured, “I love you so much, my precious babies. I am counting down the days until we meet. I know that you are both going to be so brilliant, so brave, just like your mother and your sister. I will spend every day of my life working to give you everything you need. I love you both so, so much.”

“They like that,” Persephone smiled. “They like your voice. They’re calming down already.”

“Then I shall speak to them every day,” Severus promised. “And they will know they are loved from the moment they are born.”

He placed another gentle, loving kiss to her belly, then glanced up when he heard a sniff.

“Are you alright, my love?” Severus asked with concern as he realised she was crying. He moved back up the bed again to kiss away the tears that were rolling down her cheeks.

“Happy tears,” Persephone promised. “I’m just… overwhelmed by how much love you have for us. And how much love I have for you.”

“I never thought I could love a single person until I fell in love with you,” Severus said. “And now I love four. Four beautiful, perfect, incredible girls.”

“I bet they’re going to look like you, like Abbie does.”

“Certainly not. I must have given Abbie all my genes, I have none left to give. They’re going to be the spitting image of you, I’m sure of it. Will they be identical, do you think?”

“I’m not sure,” Persephone mused. “What if we end up with one of each? One you and one me.”

“There’s already a second me next door, we don’t need a third. One was more than enough; Abbie is only tolerable as she’s a better me than I ever was.”

Persephone laughed. “Tolerable?! Severus, you worship the ground that girl walks on.”

“Maybe so, but don’t tell her that, I’ll never live it down.”

“Oh, I don’t need to, she’s well aware. Now come on, let’s get back to sleep. Do you need a potion?”

Severus hesitated. He wanted to say he didn’t need it with her there, but he was still a little shaken up. Sensing his hesitation, Persephone took her wand from her bedside table and summoned a Dreamless Sleep Potion from the cabinet.

“Thank you,” Severus murmured before taking a generous gulp from the vial. As he did so, Persephone settled onto her side, her belly supported by a pillow.

“I miss snuggling into your chest,” she sighed as Severus wrapped his arms around her, gently cradling her belly protectively. “The first night after they’re born, I’m giving you a proper cuddle again.”

Severus chuckled against the back of her neck and laid a gentle kiss to her shoulder. “Thank you, my love,” he said softly.

“For what?” Persephone asked, although her eyes were already closed for sleep.

“For soothing my nerves so easily,” Severus replied. “For loving me so well, and for so long. For staying by my side, and for marrying me despite all my shortcomings. For giving me three beautiful daughters. For… well, for you. I love you so very much.”

Persephone smiled. “I love you too,” she mumbled sleepily. “Now get some rest, Severus.”

He placed one more kiss on her shoulder, then settled down to sleep, resting easy now knowing that his wife and unborn children were safe in his arms.

Different Stages of Life AU - First Sleepover Pt. 1

It's the very first time that Angel stayed at Sephiroth's place for a sleepover. Of course, he's very nervous about it, but also happy in a way? But first, let's see how it all came to be. And I kind of have a hunch whose idea it was~ Words: 1,138 words Characters: 6,248 characters

Sephiroth found himself in a distressful situation and Mother Jenova couldn't help herself to feel joyous about it. The reason for that was, once again, Angel, who happened to catch him unawares at the kindergarten the other day.

Every Monday, the children got the opportunity to freely share their adventures of their weekends in their respective morning circle. Angel chose to tell everyone about how much fun she had spending her weekend alone with her grandmother. They had gone on an excursion at the local zoo and her stepfather even permitted her to take her camera with her to take pictures of the animals. Later that day when she was playing house with two of her friends, she had the marvellous idea to spend another weekend with someone she liked. Despite the fact that she was technically every child’s best friend, she would gladly choose one significant boy anytime above everyone else: Sephiroth. He was in the habit of making himself scarce, which made it hard for other children to find him. However, the good thing was that Angel seemed to be the only one who knew where to look. Even if she didn’t, she would track him down until she found him. But such drastic measures weren’t necessary since she knew Sephiroth well enough by now to know all of his secret places. And it wasn’t a surprise at all that she eventually found him at his most favourite spot in the whole kindergarten: the book corner.

If there was something Sephiroth hated the most, it was being disturbed while reading. Especially when he was slouching in his favourite armchair. And, yes, he may have made an exception for Angel, but that didn’t mean that she could enjoy the privilege of fools. To his cost, she played that card a bit too often… First, she slowly crawled up behind his armchair, and then jumped up to cover his eyes with her tiny hands to surprise him. “Guess who!”, she shouted while giggling playfully. With an exasperated sigh, Sephiroth dropped his book down on his lap and leaned his head back slightly. “It’s you Angel”, he replied, stretching the vocal “e” in her name in the most annoyed tone of voice he could muster, “I told you not to disturb me when I’m reading… What do you want?” With an insulted pout, she let go and stomped around the armchair to face him, letting herself fall on the cushioned stool in front of him. “You know, you could really put more work into your courtesy, Sephy.” “And you could really put more work into respecting other people’s privacy, but here we are.” If this was a cartoon, you could’ve seen the steam hissing out of Angel’s ears. She glared angrily at his impish smile, which almost made her ready to burst any minute.

Sephiroth’s bluntness and quick-witted responses constantly managed to catch her off guard, yet she could never be mad at him for some reason. It was a trait she admired about him and sometimes she secretly wished to be like him as well in that regard, instead of resorting to violence at the slightest provocation.

But she didn’t seek him out to squabble with him, so she quickly picked up the conversation where they left off. “A-ny-way, I wanted to ask you something. This morning, I talked about my weekend with grandma…”

Sephiroth only gave away a short “Uh-huh” while he switched his attention back to the book he was reading. Angel gracefully ignored it and continued speaking. “And I had much fun spending time with her, we even went to the zoo and saw a lot of animals!” Instead of giving her a proper response, Sephiroth simply kept silent and continued listening to her. It might not have looked that way, but even if he was occupied by something else, he still found the energy to listen to her. And Angel got the hint, so she speaked further. “And now, you see… I had this idea…” Like a scalded cat, Sephiroth’s head shot up and looked at her. His eyes squinted while he slowly set down his book on his lap again. Whenever Angel started a sentence like that, he always had a hunch that it meant trouble. “... How much time do I have to run and hide?” “You’re so mean! It’s not like all of my ideas are bad! �� Only a few maybe… B-But this one isn’t, I promise! I’m serious this time! I thought of spending this weekend with you… And maybe I could also stay at your place…?” The confidence Angel had built up for this conversation seemed to vanish into thin air all of a sudden. She felt her cheeks burning brightly, and that right in front of him! It was so embarrassing for her at that moment that she wished she could just disappear off the face of the earth. A feeling she’s unfamiliar with since she used to be so bold and brave in front of everyone. But with Sephiroth… It felt different somehow… Sephiroth was flabbergasted as he expected everything else, just not that. Angel has never visited him before and on top of that, it would be the very first time someone would visit him at all!

The poor boy neither knew what to say, nor could he say what made his heart beating faster right now. Was it happiness? Or was it because he was on the edge of panicking? However, the overwhelming silence made this situation more awkward than it already was, so Angel promptly began to speak yet again. “It’s okay if you don’t want to! I just thought-” “No!”, he abruptly cut her off mid sentence, “I… I’d love to spend this weekend with you…”

Angel’s face lit up in excitement; her cheeks still glowing in a delicate rose, while Sephiroth’s gaze turned down to the floor, his cheeks burning in a deep red. With a playful giggle, she dashed over to Sephiroth and almost knocked him over along with the armchair, and trapped him into a tight embrace.

He accepted her embrace and even returned it, though he was worried that she might hear his deafening heartbeat. In fact, his heart was beating so fast that he felt as if it jumped out of his chest any second. “We just have to ask our Mommy and Daddy first though… But I’m sure that my Daddy doesn’t mind!” Angel’s voice and her bouncing brought him back to the here and now. He took a deep breath, trying to ease his nervousness that still ran through his body. Before he answered her, he nodded slightly.

“I-I don’t think my Mother would mind either. She will be happy if you visit us. A-And me too…”

“Alright! Let’s make it a weekend to remember!”

[altocat]

I can't help but think what a good son sephiroth is, he really said "I'm going to fuck this world up for me and you, mother". sephi finds out what they did to the being he sees as his mother, something really bad according to him. He literally says the world should have been his "mother's" (he's a mommy's boy).

Idk I agree that sephi definitely He will not have a close relationship with Lucrecia, although she would have wished to raise Sephi.

(Sephi has abandonment problems, poor baby 😟)

I think Sephiroth's desire for answers regarding his family showcases a sense of devotion on his part. We know he's actually pretty loyal to his loved ones, given his feelings for Genesis and Angeal. So I figured any mother would be extremely important in his eyes, even Lucrecia to some degree. I cut Lucrecia LITTLE bit of slack because I really got the impression that she had no idea Sephiroth would be taken from her, or at the very least regretted her actions. Her dialogue in the OG seems to hint that she wanted to know him at the very least, and was upset and never even getting to hold him. So even if the Jenova cell implantation was fucked up and wrong, I think some part of her genuinely wanted to be his mother. So that's a point for her, I suppose.

As for Jenova, Sephiroth is very much a mama's boy, even if he's the one in control by the OG. Even if he's running the show, it's still in service to Jenova, and Jenova's designs for the planet. He's basically steering the big FUCK YOU HUMANS ship while Jenova takes a snooze in the passenger seat. But he does appear to "love" her, at least as much as you can love a nonverbal inhuman entity. Or at least, he voices a level of devotion to her that he no longer does to others, including any loose ends he had as a man.

The question is if he'd be as devoted to Jenova if he had the full story beforehand, along with less of a bad time™ during Crisis Core where he was getting abandoned left and right. I've always posited that Jenova was probably the only thing he really had left to hold onto. It's very cultlike in that Jenova likely saw a perfect target to "bring into the fold" and Sephiroth was primed to be her number 1 disciple. After all, there was nothing left to go back to, and no one left who would care. There was Zack, but after Genesis and Angeal, Sephiroth probably wasn't going to gamble on people, lest they suddenly betray him like everyone else. Jenova wouldn't betray him because she NEEDED him. As his "mother" she COULDN'T leave him like the others. And for someone like Sephiroth, having someone who would never leave him was worth committing horrid acts of unspeakable, unforgivable murder over.

[oneforthemunny]

Nepo Baby getting the worst hormones during her pregnancy’s and during her one with the twins, it’s just full swing. He’s out for the day and she’s convinced that Eddie still hates her after seeing pictures of the night they first met in a scrapbook. It’s completely irrational because he’s literally the father of her children and future children, but that doesn’t matter to her. Eddie comes home and she’s sobbing, but hiding. Sephy and Kensie run up and are like why are you mad at mama?? :( And he’s like ??? PARDON??? She didn’t even tell them, they just saw you crying while holding his picture and rambling to yourself. Once he finds out what’s going on, he has to restrain the eye roll because that could possibly be the worst thing he could do.

she's like :( you hate me!!

and he's like????? what are you even talking about right now??? I've gone all over LA for in'n'out and fucking snickers like???? do you think I would do that if I hated you????

and she's convinced he does because she's inconvenienced him and he's just like omfg. literally just holds her and cuddled her because he doesn't know what else to do when she's being hormonal like this. that's always the best thing bc she can flip at any moment and become enraged at him.

[marleybosswitch]

It had been twelve hours of non-stop begging, pleading and crying, but yet the woman in charge of the shelter had refused to budge. She’d stood in front of Marley, arms folded and lips pursed and had informed her that there was no way that not only could she not allow Bucket to stay after the dog’s presence in the shelter had been revealed, but nor could Marley remain there either.

As she stuffed her clothes haphazardly into a duffel bag, Bucket sat on the floor, head cocked as he let out a low whine before eventually padding forward and pushing his head against her hand. A sob caught in her throat as she turned, just enough to give him a quick scratch behind the ears. Nothing like her usual long, affectionate pets. After muttering a quick, “not now, boy.” to him, she turned back to the task at hand, trying her hardest not to feel too guilty about the betrayed look he was giving her, as if he might be wondering if his owner was blaming him for the situation that they were now both in.

It hadn’t really been Bucket’s fault. He was a good dog, the best if anyone else was to ask Marley. But a fight had broken out down the hallway between two women and the sound of smashing glass had startled the normally docile hound, prompting him to bark loudly in a manner that couldn’t be disguised as anything else. Soon, Marley had been reported and had been given less than a day to gather her belongings and her dog, before the two of them were both turfed out onto the street. It seemed like a counterproductive message for a women’s shelter to send out but, as they had pointed out, Marley had been the first one to betray their trust by breaking the rules. She knew that, but there had also been no way in hell she would ever have willingly given up Bucket, not when he needed her.

Quite ironically, that’s what she was being forced to do now as she looped his leash around her wrist and shouldered her bag. The strap, heavy with clothes, dog toys, a bowl and some of her own measly possessions like the old, sorry-looking Disney teddies her dad had bought her for birthdays gone by, cut into her shoulder, biting harshly into the material of her secondhand winter coat, a steal she’d been proud of when she’d found it after dragging Sephy thrifting one day. Her attempt at trying to adjust it so it sat comfortably was interrupted by a loud hammering on her door that caused her to flinch and Bucket to drop back on his haunches with a low growl. 

“Five minutes, Bostwick!” a firm voice ran through the door.

After a quick look around the tiny little room that she’d come to call home over the last few years, she took no satisfaction in trying to heave a dramatic sigh to make the situation more movie-like, more melancholy. As much as Marley tried to find the funny side of all situations, this time, she just felt sad.

“Come on, boy,” she encouraged Bucket, tugging him out of the room.

A quick subway ride later found them pushing into the warmth of A Novel Idea, the only place that Marley could think to go right now. Diego and Poppy were still on tour, the last thing Sephy needed right now was Marley to dump a dog on her and terrorise the living daylights out of Grantaire, and, quite honestly, Marley wasn’t sure she had any other options than that. Still unsure what she was going to do with her own damn self other than scout around for some cheap hotels until she got something more permanent, she knew she had to sort out something for Bucket first.

Feeling him tug on her leash, she looked up to see her dog straining to run in the direction of Harlow. Her heart gave a sad, little leap upon seeing the other man. Ever since meeting him and getting to know him, she’d lived in a poorly-constructed fantasy world where Harlow looked her way and saw her as someone he’d have liked to be his daughter in another life. She knew he already had one because he’d mentioned her a few times, and Marley had been violently jealous of this faceless girl she’d never met who had a dad that spoke of her so proudly. She wasn’t sure if her own dad told many people about her anymore.

“Hi,” she greeted Harlow, a little tiredly, certainly far more subdued than her usual exuberant greetings which were usually accompanied by her comical attempts at a “yeehaw!” or a fake hat tip. She knew she looked different as well. No signature eyeliner, eyes red-rimmed and watery instead, and her hair piled onto the top of her head in a messy bun. But not in the cute “my mom just sold me to One Direction” way.

Glancing around the semi-empty store, she turned back to Harlow.

“Is Billy here?” she asked, wondering if even Simon was around. She felt like perhaps either man would be kind enough to take Bucket off her hands until she could find a better living situation for them both, even if the thought tore up her insides.

like on one hand a small part of me that shrivels and cries and evaporates at angst and hurt/no comfort wants to think "sephis dream tidbit is suffering from Dream Logic and that's why it's so stark and empty" (i don't remember their url but i think it was on thunglr someone was saying 'please god let this be like when you have a dream at your house but it's a walmart with a secret library your dad owns' kind of thing) and that he at least had a bed and maybe one bedside table for the world's worst glass of water. MAYBE he was just sitting on a crate because his 10000% sleep deprived brain interpreted heli chair as crate. maybe that crate is his only other piece of furniture help help help HELP

on the other hand that throats angst like it'll run away before i can have it: maybe he DID have a slightly less desolate room before episode 1 and part of his punishment is to be deprived of a room that isn't just a holding cell that maybe has a bed off screen but tbh i wouldn't put it past hojo to multitask with punishment and also "we need to see how little my perfect specimen can survive on so we know just how much it can be plopped somewhere to kill and we don't even need to hurry back for pick up" like sure he will concede seph needs to sleep, that's why there's still one shitty little blanket left in the FUCKING CHAMBER. SORRY ITS ALL HITTING ME but if there is anything off screen and for this fictional characters sake i hope there is some sleeping arrangement but episode 1 might have cost seph his cot or horrible hospital mattress on the floor on top of everything else.

i believe? it was altocat (hi i also come to your inbox to shout regularly LMAO) who mentioned that before seeing the dream the hc for sephs room was more like a glass box so he can be observed at all times and that is grotesque (eating it with my bare hands reveling in it enjoying pain) but with the dream room being a box with a single entrance/exit makes me feel sooooo much worse for seph if that truly is where he's kept. like he already knows he's being watched and observed and recorded at all times, but there's only one way in and out of the room and he has to watch everything and everyone come in and walk out of there and there's nothing he can do to stop them

and to cope his brain (or the jenova cells taking advantage of the depression weakness or the some other third thing I AM IN AAAAGGGOOONNNYYYY) take him back to the terrible room where nothing good has ever happened because it's the only constant he's had that isn't hurting him directly and overtly. and his mommy is there and loves him and when i think of it as "childish" it feels a bit wrong bc that usually comes with an insult but it really is just like..... first of all 14 is nearly infantile and he was NOT socialized as a kitten so his regulation is horrible at best and non-existent at reality but it really is just like. very young child self soothing.

and THEN!!!!! the fanon over the years being sephs very nice apartment in the shinra building but he never decorates and is hardly ever in it hurts so much more now. like of course he doesn't decorate HE HAD A BOX. HE DOESN'T GO IN THERE BECAUSE HES ONLY EVER HAD BOX. AAAA

also hahaha i saw your tags about not really having an idea of who i could be im new here and just like staying anon in boxes, thank u for allowing anon spots for me to wail in. ep 2 is going to smite me

Look I will fully admit the "dream logic" argument doesn't fly if Angeal's pink/purple haze dream is accepted as true.

Although this is the first time I've seen someone say the room might be a punishment and not his actual bedroom. But if it is a dream, why would it be in his punishment room and not his actual room? I don't know. But everything we learned about Sephiroth this episode hurts.

Oh. My fucking. Universe.

Son. Of Virgin Mary. JESUS. HOLY. CHRIST.

Okay, first of all, moodboard of Advent Children Sephiroth:

*One-Winged Angel theme in the background*/ Sephiroth: "I will never be a memory."

Me:

(SEPHIROTH WILL NEVER BE A FUCKING MEMORY YOU HEAR EVERYONE-)

This movie was phenomenal, and literally still so modern like even being this "old". I WILL rewatch it again.

I SAW MY PAPAAAAA🥺🥺🥺🥺

HE LOOKS SO PRETTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY- AND EVERYONE ELSE- YUFFIE WAS SO BADASS, BARRET IS SERVING WITH HIS NEW LOOKS, RED AND CAIT ARE SILLIEST SILLIES, CID IS JUST HAPPY TO BE THERE, AND TIFA IS HOTTEST CHICK OF EM ALL-

NOW! TOP THREE PARTS THAT:

made me cry:

1. Kadaj calling Aerith 'mother' and dying

2. Zack and Aerith basically saying Cloud cannot go yet to heaven, and bidding him goodbye at the end.

3. Cloud. Just Cloud. (Gosh, hes SO fucked up. But he'll get better, bc hes not alone... Not anymore. /reff)

made me laugh:

1. Vincent having no phone, and thinking Marlene wanted to hide in his cloak instead of searching for one💀💀💀

2. RENO AND RUDE BEING MOST IDIOTIC GAYEST DUDES IN THE WHOLE MOVIE.

3. Loz being a cwy baby for his momma💀

made me loose my fucking shit:

1. SEPHIROTHS ARRIVAL AND THE WHOLE FIGHT. AND HIS THEME. AND HIS- JUST HIM. YES IM A SIMP

2. Vince appearing to save cloud from the Children.

3. THE GANG ASSEMBLING YET AGAIN WOOOOOOOOOOOO

Special mention: Aerith saving everyone through the curing rain and healing them all from Geostigma/ Zack having his speech with Cloud before he defeated my Sephie.

ALLLLRIGHT FOLKS ITS TIME TO CUT THE SADNESS ITS NOT GOOD FOR THE SOUL-

OOOHHHH BOI THIS WILL BE A RIDE- See you in about two hours then Im sending feedback rant- BRB!!!

[crisiscutie]

I always wonder why SQEX use the title 'Crisis' to almost every prequel of FF7, i.e Crisis Core, Before Crisis, Ever Crisis. Is 'crisis' really implied toward Sephiroth?

Also, I'm apprehensive on playing the next part of FF7R because I don't want to beat up poor Sephy again (TT_TT). No matter how many ppl say he is strong or evil, to me he's just a poor baby.

But I'll definitely play when SQEX decide to release a sequel where Sephiroth as the main character. I even got in a habit of apologizing to the monitor whenever I finally defeat Seohiroth. Am I weird? Does anyone else feels like this?

No anon, don't feel weird about being yourself~!

༻❁༺ Crisis Cutie's Favorite Word?

Personally, I think "Crisis" could be applied as a collective term to FF7's cast. It's definitely one of Sephiroth's special words alongside reunion and despair, though. We know little about Sephiroth's role in EC now, but I wonder if his story arc will be another variant of his identity crisis, like in Crisis Core and Before Crisis. It'd certainly be an emotional crisis regardless, though.

I feel you on Sephiroth but at the same time; I understand the need to put him down, and it brings such heavy feelings to my heart. 💔💔💔 I've noticed that almost no one seems to give Sephiroth any empathy, even Aerith, who's pretty much the Sora of the series.

Sephiroth's actions brought everyone deep sorrow and crisis. It's clear why they felt such despair and hatred towards him. Quick disclaimer, I'm not blaming anyone or anything here, just pointing something out. Also Aerith just knows there is no turning Sephiroth from the path of evil. In 7R, she's completely right when she told him that everything about him was wrong, in every sense.

༻❁༺ Cycle of Pain

I knew Vincent indirectly expressed empathy (from what I remembered). He understood how the circumstances of Sephiroth's birth lead him to who he is. That's why he couldn't bring himself to confront Lucrecia with the harsh reality of what her son had become...

And we as the audience have the benefit of seeing both sides of the story. I understand why Sephiroth's trauma of abandonment, emotional abuse, and killing/fighting was became much to bear, leading to his breakdown in Nibelheim.

And I can imagine the despair and fury that Tifa and Cloud experienced when Sephiroth committed his abhorrent acts at Nibelheim. Tifa refused to be part of the cycle of pain that Sephiroth kept alive, and instead extended a hand to Cloud, saving him from his own descent. Without the bonds that Cloud had built, he could have easily become like Sephiroth.

Vincent, like Tifa, made the decision to break the cycle for himself. Despite his broken bonds and difficult circumstances, he was able to stay true to his inner goodness and remain on the path of good.

༻❁༺ Another Crisis Game Please!

I would love to play a game starring Sephiroth. Honestly, I think Crisis Core should've been the game for the First Class Boyos. It just had too much going on within the plot (IMO) and the game suffered from the constraints of originally being a handheld game. Zack is a great character, but honestly, he was just "there" a lot of times. He only took a permanent, active role closer to the end, which he had to for plot reasons. And I loved it!

Zack saw the results of his attempt to live heroically and play by the rules... It had not brought him to his hoped-for destination. He tried so hard to endure the terrible events and he did! But his prize was death and betrayal. Like Aerith, he was just too good for the world... It's interesting how similar his death is to hers. They faced immense hardships, but their powerful sense of morality and bonds kept them true to themselves while dying for a selfless and noble cause.

Honestly, the whole main cast of FF7 needs a fountain of hugs.

I finally got myself a Square Enix Nier Replicant Statuette figure. I was hoping and waiting for TOM so send mine patiently, for far too long. Then I contacted them when they delayed the arrival date once again, and practically told me they didn’t know when they’ll be getting their shipment. Then a while after, they delayed the figure until November. He was supposed to be “released” in March (not sure anymore when the Kuji version was released in Japan), if I am not mistaken, maybe earlier. I saw a few USA retailers with him in stock earlier in the year, but TOM kept sending delayed messages. Then I did a bit of research and learned that’s what TOM does, with most prize figures that are released everywhere else much earlier. They just never get stock earlier or on time, for some unknown reason.

That last delay made me worried, as they seem to be sure they’ll be getting their stock “someday,” but don’t know when. That could very well be in a year, or two or by the time I kick the bucket. Lol! DX I saw Amazon sell out of their stock, so I didn’t want to wait any more, because good-luck is not something I have plenty of.

I almost always read the measurements of the figures, to kind of know how much I’ll be forking out on shipping, but TOM charges for shipping beforehand (for the whole thing, really, as opposed to most other Japanese retailers!). I thought he would be much bigger, like Sephiroth who is closer to 11 inches. However, this one is tiny! He is barely 7 inches tall. I am a bit sad about that, but he is a gorgeous figure, nonetheless. I just prefer larger prize items in general, not to mention he costs just as much as Sephy, and in the game brother Nier is supposed to be about 6 feet tall when grown up, but he’s tinier in the same format figure as Sephy (from their own mother-company). I got him from Sideshow, so he arrived super-fast and undamaged and blemish-free. I’m super happy with him. They also sent a hardcover figure photography book as a gift, which I never gotten before from any retailer, let alone from purchasing an inexpensive figure... not complaining, just surprised (I spend quite a bit of cash on most other places, so it was kind of unexpected for a figure under sixty USD). 

I took these with flash, so they are not the most flattering, they did something weird to his face -- like maybe the eyes were painted or sculpted too far apart? It is a very pretty face, not quite as he looks in either game versions, but really beautiful, nevertheless. His outfit and armor are beautifully detailed and painted. I am not cancelling the TOM one, so whenever their supplier decides to ship theirs, I’ll hopefully get mine from them as well and I’ll be able to unbox one. To take better photos of his lovely face, and also finally have an unboxed figure, of my favorite version of Nier (Replicant). (:

I need to know why Sev responded the way he did in the Occlumency link. Like in depth of details of how he was feeling in the moment, what he saw, the angst if there was some, everything. Best fanfic out there. So glad another chapter was added. My fav

omg you spoil me fr 😭😭😭

I’ll put the answer under a tag bc it may be spoilery but also I might not write it in explicitly

While Sephy is Sev’s soulmate, Sev and Abbie are twin flames:

So when their twin souls connected in that moment, it felt right and comfortable because it was two halves of the same whole coming together, whereas if either of them created an occlumency link with anyone else, even if it was Sev and Sephy, it would feel uncomfortable, because two souls aren’t meant to occupy the same headspace. But because Sev and Abbie are one soul split into two, they were able to comfortably share a link.
