@ordinariums - Terra AU

There are sirens and blood and screams and fire everywhere, and Terra feels her skin burn on the inside, and knows it will take but a moment for her to lose control again and melt more people. She can see the soldiers, now very far but still marching in her direction, and unfortunately their armors won't save them from the golden energy that will turn them into dust. She doesn't want to do it, but she will. And then she lets out a cry of horror at the sudden movement, and instinctively covers her face from a potential blow, doing everything she can not to blow up because he's not inside an armor, and he may just be one of the city inhabitants; they have been so nice to her, helping her run from the bad guys. "Please, please, I don't want to hurt you, I just-I just don't want to go back!" she pleads, her voice high with terror, begging for his life, "Please don't try to take me..."

Terra watches Echo, trying to figure out what is up with her, why she seems so upset. Even if things are hard now, they are free - more than that, Echo is still willing to let her follow despite having seen what she can do, they are still doing their best. And Terra can't help but think that this means they will be okay.

Why would it matter that it's her screw up? Is Echo worried she'll be mad? Terra tries to remember the various methods of comforting people besides patting their shoulders; there are so many strange rituals she doesn't understand but she's seen work. Opening her mouth, she hesitates, then gives Echo's back a little rub, "There there." The words are said with the outmost confidence, seeing as they seem to be a common choice among potential responses. Better? "Nothing bad happened. Nothing terribly bad. I can take a lot more than that, believe me, so don't worry. We just have to keep trying."

There's not much Terra can do when she gets like this. The sheer concept of failure creeps up the back of her neck like a bad omen. Neither of them should be out here. That much she's learned in the short while they've traveled together. Terra's strong, but she's too kind to a world who doesn't deserve her. Echo's strong, but she's too confident in a world she barely knows.

"Terra." Her name comes out clipped as she rolls her neck, forcing herself to stare at the fire as opposed to her companion. The vault dweller grimaces, shaking her head. "I appreciate it, alright? But it was my screw up. I'm sorry I put you in that position, just... I'll make it up to you."

I'm watching all the old Magnum P.I episodes with my dad and there was a woman named Celes Cole in the one we watched the other night, (I heard Celes and Celeste but I'm pretty sure it was Celes,) and as a Final Fantasy 6 enjoyer I thought that was a very funny coincidence.

Fanfic: The Passage of Mt. Kolts (by monk_of_figaro)

Shameless plug? I guess so! I wrote and posted the beginning part of a Sabin-focused fanfic.

This particular one is the prologue to a 9-chapter story that takes place after Sabin defeats Vargas but before they arrive at the Returners' Hideout.

You can find it on Archive of Our Own. It's around a 10 minute read.

Let me know what you think!

Terra had thought it was another abandoned place, there were many like that, and she had hoped to be lucky. She was so thirsty and hungry without her IVs, the sun too hot - though she wouldn't exchange it for the artificial lights she had been living under even if it started cracking her skin.

She knew she had to be close to death, something was going to eat her or someone was going to find her and force her to fight, but something in her didn't want to give up; she wanted to stay alive and keep feeling the sun and wind and the smells, even the bad ones.

But then someone addressed her and she stumbled back so fast that she nearly fell, her eyes going to the dog - was it a dog? yes, she knew it was, even if she couldn't remember seeing one before - and then to the woman with a rifle, who wasn't wearing a radiation suit. She didn't think she remembered seeing a person out of one either.

"I'm-I'm-I'm looking for water," she explained, lifting her hands to show she meant no harm, "I didn't think someone lived here, I apologize." Please don't make your dog eat me, she wanted to add, but she'd rather wait and see if she was going to risk being shot at first.

"She ain't gonna hurt you. Heel, Cheyenne," Sunny spoke to her dog, second to speaking to the woman a few yards from her. It was way too early, but Cheyenne had been scratching at the door, sensing something was up. Sunny had let her out after putting on her jacket and boots, and picking up her rifle, of course. The dog sniffed and whine but didn't seem interested in doing her business, instead leading an annoyed Sunny out of the fenced in yard of their little house towards the abandoned school house. Goodsprings didn't have any children of it's grand population of 12 people.

There was a girl behind the chain link fence. Maybe younger than Sunny? Maybe... It was hard to tell. Maybe she'd been trying to get inside to building, but Sunny had locked that thing up, only going in to clear out whatever pests were getting in on occasion.

"Hey, you okay? Need a hand?" Sunny ventured closer, aiming her rifle towards the ground. She wasn't about to put it away and get a knife in the throat because she let her guard down. Even with a chain link fence between them and the best guard dog by her side, Sunny was cautious.

“ things must be catastrophic if you’re calling me at this hour. ” (terra!) @galaeus

Terra has wiped away her tears, in a strong effort not to sob in front of Echo; she had been following the cute molerat only to bump into that many raiders, who had been so ill-intentioned, and after living safely for a while, after knowing full days without pain, she had been unable to control herself and those horrible abilities of hers. "I killed a large group of raiders and there is blood everywhere," she blurts out, but more accurately there is a quite radioactive circle of nearly melted corpses right at the entrance of that small town, "We need to get out of here."

I'm particularly proud of how this episode art turned out... Not often in wrestling do you get to talk about ATTACKING AND DETHRONING GOD...

Finally finished the OG Final Fantasy VII. Had some trouble but overall, it was memorable.

[atinylittledog]

i wish they'd make an FF6 anime but when they'd get to the opera house they dedicate an entire episode to the draco and maria opera and instead of being accurate to the game it's the full uncut version of the song complete with narration with little to no cutaways like the show completely stops dead in it's tracks for that one singular episode and becomes a full adaption of the opera

[seepingfrommyskin]

every time i play ffvi and i see tina i always just wonder why they (the empire) had her wearing that (gorgeous) outfit instead of like. another good ol' outfit that biggs and wedge or any of the other soldiers wear??

this goes for celes too like YES they're apart of the TERRIFYING and POWERFUL Gestahlian empire! but also their outfits will k*ll you with how hard they're serving cunt and their lethal face cards will also k*ll you more than any magical spell they could cast or any attack they could possibly hit you with.

I honestly find it ironic that we actually get a glimpse of Sephiroth as a genuine human being even after he is established as a killer experimental abomination who nearly destroyed the planet TWICE.

Then Crisis Core came and pretty much broke through fans' initial perceptions of him just being a cold, arrogant, remorseless killing machine. I must admit, I was shocked too. But to be fair, they did show him to be somewhat considerate in the OG before his turn to evil, but it's limited by the bizarre-looking polygonal figures and lack of voice acting.

I think that how fans see him in this new light also affects how he is portrayed in future installments he's featured in. His villainy is rather downplayed in Dissidia(excluding Opera Omnia). He's not openly trying to become a god or backstabbing the other villains like Emperor and Ultimecia are doing. He even expresses disgust at another villain(Kefka from FF6):

It's interesting seeing him change over the years. I think Sephiroth was always a tragic character as far back as the OG, hence why there was all that Lucrecia stuff. But they really shaped his personality more over time. We now have more to glean than just his intimidation factor. He feels more well rounded overall. And I know some people don't WANT that, but again--basic villains are boring. I like that he now has clearer motives, mannerisms, and baggage. He's way more complete that way.
