Series: Part 1 of Crimson Crescent Series Summary:

[M/M Pairing] Written as an alternate story that runs parallel to beginning of OG FFVII, Vincent Valentine has been submerged and unconscious for thirty years in the Shin-Ra lab. When he awakes, physiologist Cloud Strife helps him return to good health. All are oblivious of the true reason that Vincent has mysteriously returned to Shin-Ra after all of this time. That secret remains between himself and Hojo, while the full truth rests with another. Despite the disparaging state he wakes up in, Vincent is increasingly drawn to Cloud and seeks to protect him, knowing the threats of working at Shin-Ra better than anyone else. Their roles at Shin-Ra complicate the nature of their romance - Hojo thinks Vincent has forgotten the events of Shin-Ra mansion, yet he reserves his own plans for the state of Hojo and Shin-Ra, with Cloud beginning to question his own place at Shin-Ra as well. This story assumes that the Nibelheim incident has not occurred yet, causing Vincent to meet Cloud in a different way, and their adventure to unfold under a different 'timeline.' It also seeks to answer questions like "What if Sephiroth hadn't turned as suddenly as he did in the OG?" Chapter 1 | Chapter 2

I remember now

Weird thing that bothered me about Rebirth and I want to hear other people's thoughts.

Um... Why did they gentrify Gongaga? I can't be the only one who feels cheated by the chummy suburban development vibe in Rebirth.

OG Gongaga is an isolated village deep in a jungle. It's possible to completely miss the first chance to visit, because it's practically unheard of. All the young folks fled to the big city. A reactor blew up and killed most of the inhabitants, leaving the town in a state of decay. The houses are falling apart, the people are desperate, it's derelict and miserable.

An understated theme in the OG is how life is difficult without modern technology. Avalanche sets out to destroy these reactors without considering the consequences for their own futures, thinking "well it won't be easy but i'm sure it'll be fine." Gongaga is the story's way of showing you just how fine everything is going to be— despite being in a lush rainforest, long since violently cut off from Shinra's influence, these people still suffer immensely.

I wanted to see it in hd so bad honestly. The splintered rotting wood, the furskin rugs, the dirty brick walls. The unspoken yet unignorable trauma. The mournful purple twilight that quietly hangs over the whole village. I wanted to see the survivors' spiteful determination to make things work without mako.

Instead we got a squeaky clean Crisis Core rendition of Gongaga, with its down-to-earth upbeat stardew valley soundtrack and generic hard workin' country folk. The houses are like... twice the size i expected them to be. Neat and tidy, no holes in the roofs, no dishevelled interiors. No sign of struggle. Everybody is content at worst.

The reactor may as well have never exploded. Nobody talks about it. We hear some bullshit about Shinra trying to "make amends" or compensate people for the damages, and that's about it. Apparently everybody's just fine with this, because all of the original version's resentment and grief is gone.

Don't even get me started on the barker stationed at the town entrance. "Come experience nature's bounty!" Man... why are we treating it like a goddamn hippy tourist attraction. OG Gongaga would have had someone knock this kid's teeth out.

Idk I'm just sad. The melancholy is what made Gongaga so memorable despite its bump-in-the-road identity. I wish we could have gotten that instead of one big callback to CC.

Love the gradual evolution of OG Sephiroth to Rebirth Sephiroth right before shit goes down at the Nibelheim reactor.

OG-Roth: "Fuck that trooper. Fuck these monsters. My level of skill is unobtainable and you're an idiot for not knowing how Materia works. Go seal the valve so I can go home, loser."

Rebirth-Roth: "You're doing such a good job zack Cloud! I have a teensy owwie of a headache so you take it from here, buddy. Golly I sure do love these mountains, especially when I'm with my super cool mega best friend 🌸🌈☺️❤️"

this city, man...

[wowa-bublord]

In a Zack Lives AU where newer friends asks and presses Zack on what his military nickname was, and while reluctant and flustered, sheepishly admits it was "Puppy".

They chuckle and laugh because haha so fitting! They can definitely see the how well the nickname fits sweet energetic Zack even back then

Then they eventually learn that Zack is more than a puppy really — he's a well-trained attack dog, seeped with violence and blood. This "Puppy" has a body count of 4 figures.

he thought he'd grown so much, but the shoe still fits.

TOOK A MONTH BUT I GOT IT DONE!!

I usually don’t post this stuff on here but I was too proud to not.

Amigurumi, my own pattern. If anyone does want it, I have it!! But it hasn’t been tested as it was just for myself, and is missing some pieces which were free handed. (Tail, white strip on stomach, crown)

All was crocheted, body was brushed with a dog brush, and the white fur sewn on by hand. The brushing and sewing alone took 20 or so hours. Cape was sewn on a machine with fleece.

I would like to give him a better crown, but didn’t have the materials.

Uh Happy Halloween I guess. I painted this about 4 years ago but I still like it, just never posted it anywhere… It’s a redraw based on my favorite Vincent doujinshi cover of all time, Satan Impact 👇👇👇❤️❤️❤️
