[fourteentheart]

Sometimes I need to draw non-xiv guys when I scribble. And there are still xiv guys here 😂

[phantasmacabre]

Finished the QB quest line and can now say that Cloud/Regina is definitely a new rare pair for me

[protemporescitor]

The fandom: OMG Cloud is so mean and rude to people! What a jerk! 😠

Meanwhile:

[ninemelodies]

on today’s episode of “am i into that?”

[maryse127]

Still not over the fact that someone at Square Enix decided it was a good idea to name the Queen's Blood champion "Queen Queen" and got away with it

[dyspraxicgamergirl]

I know it's mostly the hair, but does anyone else get strong Black Lady (Sailor Moon) vibes from Regina?

[truncatedgrip]

...okay u cannot blame me for being smitten with Elena's gun in ff7 rebirth

do it :3

[umbralstars]

I have An Idea. I think I can kinda tell where the story is going and Rebirth chose to rewrite/add details in the way that it did. This is speculation about Jenova and the Gi because I really believe that given the Gi portion of the story had such focus placed on it that it does have more story relevance than Only giving us an origin for the Black Materia.

I also believe that all of this reveals what Jenova actually is, or at least what she is now post the additions of Rebirth. With that said, I haven't entered the Temple of the Ancients yet so I'm not done with Rebirth. But I want to get this idea out on paper before I forget about it.

Some facts we all know for a basis:

Materia are crystalized forms of memories and knowledge. This is said multiple times by many characters (Nanaki when talking with Aerith about why her Holy Materia is different now, comes to mind), and memories do hold a significant amount of power within FF7's narrative.

The Gi created the Black Materia through corruption of another materia. They imbued it with their hatred, pain, and desire for the release of death.

The Black Materia's whole purpose is to call down a meteor which is capable of destroying the planet. Gi Nattak omitted that information to get the party to go after it for them, but we as the audience know the truth.

The Cetra learned of the Black Materia, took it from the Gi, and sealed it away in the Temple.

So that raises some questions to mind which I believe has obvious answers. Did the Gi get to use the materia? How did the Cetra learn of the Black Materia? How does all this new information tie into the pre-established lore?

I do think the Gi used the Black Materia. I know that's a common held belief now, but I also want to bring it a smidge further with this: Jenova was not just on the meteor at random. She herself is a memory; the consciousness (like Minerva) of the planet the Gi lost. They imbued everything into the Black Materia. Their memories of their home, its destruction, the coming of the lifestream, their pain at being stuck between life and death for all of eternity; and all of that was what created Jenova.

I think this for many reasons actually (and I really hope the ending of the game doesn't outright dispute it).

First: the Black Materia works like all other materia, as-in it manifests physically the memories and magic contained within itself. This materia does not call down a random meteor floating in space, it creates it via its own power. So why would Jenova be randomly attached to this meteor in particular? Because it wasn't random fate.

Second, I think this does tie into her's and Sephiroth's intentions. This isn't speculation towards whatever is going on with the multiple timelines or w/e (cause I haven't gotten there yet), but more based on things we Do know about what they want.

One of the main lines Sephiroth says during his breakdown in Nibelheim is going on about how humans "stole" the planet from his mother (who he says was a Cetra). But we also know this is categorically false for multiple reasons aside from just Jenova not being a Cetra.

As an aside, I don't fully believe that humans and the Cetra are 100% entirely different from one another. There does seem to be some genetics behind communing with the Planet, but I also believe it was a mixture of Some genetics and cultural/religious customs and rites which kept them in-tune with hearing the voices of the Lifestream. Knowledge which was lost and people who had that as a natural ability becoming rarer and rarer over time.

However, back to Jenova, we also get a similar speech from the "Shadowblood Queen" at the end of the Queen's Blood questline. About how she once ruled over a land which was stolen from her, and it's fairly obvious she is Jenova from the backstory and even repeating to Cloud the "puppet" line which was Jenova's only line ever from the OG. The memory of Jenova was attached to this card in such a powerful way she's able to control Regina, and I'm not sure how else you could explain what happens there. (I also think this quest ending likely foreshadows what's gonna go down in part 3; but that's more of a gut feeling).

Sephiroth saying all that was him getting feedback from Jenova and filling in the blanks with everything he had read. It does not matter if you think she was controlling him or if he snapped and did all this of his own will because the result was still the same. The intentions were still the same no matter who they came from.

Sephiroth and her also want to both destroy Gaia (her initial intentions after her memory was resurrected in the Black Materia), and seemingly take the lifestream elsewhere after making it their own. If Jenova is a dead world's consciousness it could explain a lot of her powers and why she is so eldritch. It's always been obvious to me how much Jenova pulled from Lovecraftian ideas, so I don't think it's right to call her a "space virus" given she is conscious with immense amount of influence and control over what's going on.

She is able to create fiends and mutations because she is creation without a tether. She is a fuzzy memory of a place that is gone and can never return. She wants to consume and destroy because she was created/reborn from hatred and a wish for death. She is capable of infecting others with that singular wish and turn people against their loved ones.

And Jenova is conscious. She may only have one piece of dialog but she had dialog in the og game, and other parts of the compilation have built onto the idea of Jenova being fragmentary and maybe mindless but Aware (tbh like Lovecraftian gods). She does have intentions and wants. Sephiroth may act like the consciousness keeping them together, the body from which they can move about the world, and the interpreter of her will (kind of like what Nyarlathotep is to the Other Gods); but they are intertwined in their malice and wants. As a different aside, I know about the whole Thing of "Sephiroth controls/assimilates Jenova" and where it comes from; however, I don't think that part is strictly or really canon anymore (if it ever was at all, I have my doubts). Many things have changed since Ultimania Omega came out in 2005. That book is almost 20 years old, and as far as I can find the only place with any reference to Sephiroth "assimilating" Jenova is in the relationship chart in that book. Even then, I also know in different Ultimanias characters models/scenes call them "Sephiroth-Jenova" as-if they're more one entity now then two separate consciousnesses; if not outright Jenova using Sephiroth's likeness. This comes from the 10th anniversary Ultimania which is more recent. We've also been told in multiple sources how little of Sephiroth remains in "Sephiroth" after he dies the first time. There are pieces of him which remain (those he deemed "important" to remaining pieced together and not fall into the lifestream as much as his partially extraterrestrial self can), but he is not complete nor does he have full memories of who he once was.

I'm not arguing he's being mind-controlled or that it's not Sephiroth who's the face and active antagonist and it was Jenova all-along. I'm more saying that their intentions and wills are intertwined. Who they are as a being has become intertwined because Jenova is part of what allows Sephiroth to be whole and stable after death.

And remember what the wording is at least in the English edition. "Assimilates" or "to resemble" or "to liken" or "to take in as part of one's self and understand fully." I don't think it really matters who specifically is in the pilot's seat here. Sephiroth still took in his "mother's" will as his own. In his despair he mirrors her hatred until it became his own. Then in death he took in more and more until he likened her in every way which mattered until they became something you cannot easily pick apart.

So my argument is more that it's likely things have changed or being written differently as the story has evolved over time.

And I could ramble about how this plays into recent Sephiroth developments and like the themes of FF7 as they are to me. But this is already long and rambling as it is so I'm gonna cut it here. Thank you for reading if you made it to the end, and I would like to know what anyone thinks.

got tagged by @tearlessrain

Name/nickname: Rae

Gender: Transmasc enby

Star sign: Taurus, which I'm  okay with in general except the stereotypical attraction to opulence and such doesn't fit me very well. I don't have a single fire sign in my birth chart so make of that what you will. This came up because the majority of my 8 siblings are fire signs and let's just say that explains a lot about my complexes xP

Height: 5′4"

Birthday: April 22nd

Time: 3:44 PM

Favorite bands: I was gonna put Radical Face but he's more of a solo artist... uhhhh.... The Oh Hellos, Les Friction, Mumford & Sons, Jars of Clay, Linkin Park, actually Imagine Dragons and Coldplay too lol, Hurts, First Aid Kit, just to name a few.

A few I am currently listening to, though: I listen to Radical Face probably the most of the above lol.

Favorite solo artists: AURORA, Sleeping At Last, Vienna Teng, Regina Spektor...

Song stuck in my head: Well it was stardew valley stuff but now it's the Black Water Lilies song by AURORA

Last movie: it was either 5 Centimeters Per Second or PotC: Dead Man's Chest lol I can't remember

Last show: Sailor Moon!

When did I create this blog: 2010... I think? If not 2010 then early 2011...

What do I post: star wars, ff7, random anime, political stuff, random other crap

Last thing googled: not counting "centimeters per second" cuz I couldn't remember how many lol... uhhh... "need fence for cow stardew valley"

Other blogs: many defunct ones, the only semi-active ones left is the ltfad blog and once in a blue moon I'll reblog asimov robot fanart to asimovrobots

Do I get asks: once in a while! And they're usually very nice.

Why I chose my url: it's my username like ... everywhere. And it's ancient. Rae plus my last initial plus Anzu from when I was into Yugioh.

Following: 106 because I can't handle more than that

Followers: 1280 (wtf why so many)

Average hours of sleep: I think I am actually averaging 8 lately, good job me.

Lucky number: 6 and 22 solely because I associate them with myself as the sixth child and because of my birthday.

Instruments: Decent at piano, have fiddled a bit with mandolins and guitars but no real skills yet.

What am I wearing: Blue jeans and a blue striped sweater with black socks

Dream job: Take small groups of kids into the forest for fun educational exploration lol... I would put author but like, an already established author, where I have passive income from it and am not under a bunch of deadlines.

Dream trip: Japanese countryside in an AU where Cal and I are both fluent in Japanese.

Favorite food: Pho... it's just... so good...

Nationality: murrken :\

Favorite song: geez how do I pick? I can't. I guess lately my big favorite has been The Truth Is A Cave by The Oh Hellos

Last book read: I don't even remember x_x terrible. Well, I guess it was probably Carry On Mr Bowditch because I was reading through it with my nephew.

Top three fictional universes I’d like to live in:  

1. Yeah I gotta agree with rhys on this one, the shire would be lovely.

2. I'm going to say the RP universe between me and Cal's heads because, I mean, it's our haven from real life and has been for decades so it's pretty clear I want to live there. It's ff7 (specifically costa del sol but like, three dozen steps to the left of how it looks in the game) but we have unlimited money and a closet that we can get anything we want from.

3. How about like... Stardew Valley? I mean... it's pretty great lol.

[msamune]

SEPHIROTH:

Main antagonist! One of the mist iconic video game antagonists.

Wants to become god by crashing a huge meteor into the planet and absorbing all the power that spills out! Get a load of this guy!!

Mommy issues (joked about often, low-hanging fruit), Daddy issues (less used to joke, richer fruit).

He will wish he could kill you but he can’t yet! :(

MASSIVE god-complex and I will reference it often along with angel imagery and general corrupted holiness!

He’s not really an angel after all the sins he’s committed but he’s an angel in my heart and that’s what really matters.

THE MUN:

Regina! 17 years old, lives in New Mexico!

English is my second language so patience please! I’ve been speaking it since childhood but I still make the occasional slip!

I love exclamation points!!!

I’ve loved FF7 since I was a kid! It was a fav of my big brother and he let me play it! I used to change every changeable name in the original FF7 to Sephiroth because I wanted to confuse my sisters who were watching me play!

I’ll have a starter call up soon!!! Tomorrow for sure!

[maryse127]

Spotify Wrapped Summary :)

Artists

To the surprise of absolutely nobody: Taylor Swift

Nobuo Uematsu - also not surprising with how much I have been listening to Distant Worlds arrangements, some of the older Final Fantasy osts and of course the FF7 Rebirth theme song

Coldplay! I know I listened to them quite a bit and even had like a few weeks where I only listened to them but still wasnt expecting this

Masayoshi Soken - I cannot figure out if I am more surprised at him being higher than Yoko Shimomura or at Coldplay being higher than both of them. Anyway, can you tell that I started critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV's Free Trial this year? Also Square Finally uploaded the FFXVI soundtrack. But too late to get Away in the Top 100 songs. With how much I listened to my CD rip of that ost my Wrapped would have looked quite different if Square had dropped it on streaming earlier

Yoko Shimomura My Beloved - I actually got to meet her at a concert in Berlin and rode that high for an entire week. But apparently I didnt listen to her music as much this year. Probably because I have been listening a lot more to other Final Fantasy soundtracks besides XV this year

Songs

No Promises to Keep (Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Theme Song) <- important addition as there is at least one other version of this song in my Top 100 by Nobuo Uematsu vocals by Loren Allred - When a short version of the song was performed at last year's Game Awards I knew this would be my number one song (if it was released on streaming, which it did). Like months before the game even came out. And yet here we are. Not even counting all the times I listened to my youtube rip from before it was on Spotify. And the times I listened to my CD rip because yes I got the single CD of this in Japan for more money than it's reasonably worth

Can't Catch Me Now from The Hunger Games The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes movie by Olivia Rodrigo - I am nothing if not a Hunger Games fangirl. I also just love this song. Also also it fit very well with one of my daydream scenarios which played a role in listening to this on repeat

Who's Afraid of Little Old Me? by Taylor Swift - My absolute favorite song from the new album. And also played on repeat for the same daydream. But also I just love it.

Too Much is Never Enough by Florence + The Machine - 3rd consecutive year that this song makes the Top 5. I am not immune to Songs From Final Fantasy XV

Melodies of Life ~ Final Fantasy also by Nobuo Uematsu of course. The (English version of the) Final Fantasy IX ending theme. Vocals by Emiko Shiratori. Wasn't the biggest fan of FF9 but this song is beautiful. Also different scene in the same daydream continuity.

Was gonna do Top 5 and some special mentions but Top 6 because I would have loved it if it had made Top 5: The Call by Regina Spektor. Anyone remember Prince Caspian? Beloved 2nd Narnia movie from way back in the day? I sure do. This song is soooo pretty. This movie lived rent free in my mind when I was 15. I watched it with a friend a while ago. She had never seen it before but she liked it too. I still knew at least half the dialogue by heart. I am also still not immune to Ben Barnes.

Special mentions:

The other Songs From Final Fantasy XV come in at 8 for I Will Be and 12 for Stand by Me

List seems to mostly be from Taylor Swifts latest album The Tortured Poets Department, my Final Fantasy Distant Worlds and Final Fantasy vocal tracks playlists, the Xenogears, Final Fantasy XV, XIII, and VII Rebirth soundtracks (VII Rebirth being just a a few song preview of the full ost) and Coldplay's album Magic

Last year's number 1 Electric Touch by Taylor Swift and Fall Out Boy is still pretty high up at 15

Last year's number 2 Cruel Angel's Thesis however has dropped to 98 which is very symbolic of how intense yet shortlived my Evangelion obsession was last year

Remember when I said there was more than one version of No Promises to Keep? The Band Version (with Nobuo Uematsu's band) is on 17. The instrumental version of the game version is on 34, the instrumental version of the band version is on 50

Highest scoring entry by Yoko Shimomura (patron god of this blog) is Somnus (Instrumental) Distant Worlds version at 14 which is shockingly low. Next entry is Somnus Ultima at 18. Valse di Fantastica comes in at a shockingly low 22. Noctis theme is at 46 which is insane to me. I failed both my blorbo and my god

There's only 4 Taylor Swift songs here that aren't from TTPD which is shocking to me. Some of the TTPD songs that are here are like skip songs to me nowadays too.

Despite being my number 4 artist Soken has 0 songs in the Top 100. If Square had dropped the FF16 ost earlier Away and Ascension and Hide, Hide Away would have been here for sure.

Valse di Fantastica came on while writing this post and holy fuck why is it so low I love this song

Coldplay's highest entry is Magic at 58 which is low for my 3rd artist but at least they are on the list unlike Soken XD

Other notable things

On July 5th I streamed the most: 671 minutes aka more than 11 hours. The Wrapped wonders how I did that. Well, that's just what a 13 hour flight to Japan does to you

(If you are wondering why my 15 hour flight back isn't here: I watched like 8 hours of Netflix on that flight)

Spotify's genres are always bullshit but I had an actually accurate one for the month of May: Nerdy Vocal Soundtrack. I am pretty sure the Distant Worlds concert was in May so it tracks that it peaked there. Unlike what Spotify claims this wasnt a phase tho. It's just me

While writing this post the Distant Worlds version of FF9's Vamo'alla Flamenco came on and just shoutouts to this song being amazing and double shoutout to the guitar soloist at Distant Worlds. Dude got so much applause and rightfully so. That whole concert was hype af but this song was one of the best moments.

Anyway, send me a number 1-100 and I'll post (and probably ramble!) about whatever song placed at that number!

[breezy-cheezy]

Steven Universe, Damian Wayne, Aerith Gainsborough

Alright here we go!!!! I’ll try!!!

Steven

favorite thing about them - Something I love about the show is we got to see him grow up! I love how far this kid has come and how his kindness has grown and matured with him! 

least favorite thing about them- I don’t have much to dislike? I guess I didn’t like how lightly he took things in early seasons, but now I kinda wish he did......I dunno. It’s hard for me to dislike characters like him X’D 

favorite line- Man why is this here, I’m so bad at remembering lines...ummmm: “Because dad, I can't stay a kid forever, when Connie grows up and becomes president what is that gonna make me? First Boy?!” aishfiuwehufi I just ran across this looking it up, CUTE. Also the porkchops> hotdogs line. Because yes. Profound and cute.

brOTP- ....man with all the gems....I really enjoy Steven with Garnet, and Lapis, and Pink Pearl....it’s hard to pick a fave! Top 3!

OTP- Stevonnie. Soooo cute.

nOTP- Uuuuuh with any of the gems, or....most everyone is a very different age from him, so uh. Yeah. No.

random headcanon- I bet Steven is weirdly good with alot of different instruments!

unpopular opinion- I feel like there’s a little too much angst on him lately in the fandom....like it was interesting at first but now it just makes me sad, y’know?

song i associate with them - Ummmm, idk, Go the Distance from Hercules??

favorite picture of them- gif time! Isn’t this cute?? He cling....

Damian

favorite thing about them - The fact that he collects animals?? And that it’s key to his character development?? Good stuff.Also the juxtaposition of growing up a trained killer being so gentle with animals and going vegetarian...also that he draws....there are alot of good things about Damian.

least favorite thing about them- His very very very inconsistent writing, and how his development always gets like....rewound before it can get too far. It SUCKS. It’s what fanfic is for.

favorite line- Off the top of my head? “Alfred the cat is... my cat.” Dork.

brOTP- It was Dick and Dami’s relationship that REALLY got me into Batfam stuff tbh! I love seeing him with Jon too though, and Cass....

OTP- He’s so young, I can’t think of anyone I’d ship him with either regardless??

nOTP- Too many to name....especially not with any of the other batkids!!

random headcanon- ...I headcanon Damian as aro/ace. :>

unpopular opinion- I saw alot of Damian hate on my dash recently, and I just wanna say I really really like him. I don’t care if alot of his writing is crap. :T 

song i associate with them- “Love Like You” by Rebecca Sugar, DEFINITELY. 

favorite picture of them: SO MUCH FANART I wouldn’t feel good reposting. So. This is always a fave. ;v;

Aerith

favorite thing about them- Her SPUNK. I was thrown for a loop when I played FF7, because man she’s funny. She’s all pretty and pink, and she can ALSO be pretty dang assertive and awesome! It’s a cool combo. Soft voice and iron will and all that.I did not know she was like that before playing. KH didn’t really get that across at all...?? (Then again I did play Crisis Core, but that was so long ago I guess I forgot)

least favorite thing about them- How she doesn’t have that personality much post-death or in KH! What’s with that?? 

favorite line- "Mine is special. It's good for absolutely nothing!" (referring to her White Materia) This girl, oh my goodness. (I’m looking these up btw)

brOTP- With RedXIII actually! I wanted to see more interactions for them! 

OTP- Aerith/Zack ;;v;; Her with Cloud is cute too, but I played Crisis Core first and have been in the Zaerith camp ever since!

nOTP- Ummmmm...with either Sephiroth or...Hojo? I’ve seen that too and ughhhhh no. 

random headcanon- She gets to live on in KH-verse. Yeah. Oh, and that Zack was the first to meet her in her FFVII death. OH, and I had some thoughts on what if Aer and Sephiroth met while really little growing up in the labs? So headcanon that their meeting in FF7 is not their first...she kinda recognizes him, but his mind is too far gone to recall anything by then.

unpopular opinion- Not sure!

song i associate with them: I was looking around, and “The Call” by Regina Spektor is really fitting as like...final thoughts/words toward the party, to Cloud in particular. ;v; 

favorite picture of them: Tbh any gif from the remake??? SHE’S GORGEOUS. This one is especially cute though!
