#soundcrusher rambles

[soundcrusher]

Just came across a player in Ever Crisis twice that was named Lucrecia and had first Vincent and then Sephiroth as their player characters.

You guys can't imagine the sound I let out at seeing that. XD

Playing this game is amazing.

Birds of a Feather! (BoaF!AU by Soundcrusher.)

Sorry i posted the link so late, and that it’s only a five-hundred word prologue. I was up really early and bc I hadn’t gotten sleep my body was going ‘fuck this shit’ and I was irate bc of no sleep, so I just posted it, and passed out for about seven hours.

The prologue is very vague on purpose, to try and give a more ominous/mysterious vibe in a way, and try to line up with everything properly. So chapter one will be coming up, to make everything clear, and introduce a decent portion of ‘the crew’/main bunch, since I’m kind of mixing around the AU to work with all three AUs (Sentient!LL!AU, BoaF!AU, & my own unnamed AU.), kinda.

Anyway, enough of my rambling, here it is! Enjoy!

So, I bought a Kadaj figure and he passes the strabwerry skirt test.

He also looks good in it.

This scene just stuck with me, when playing DoC.

The tenderness of the moment, despite the eariness of it all.

Vincent came to Edge without anyone being there, and the only knowledge he had was Reeve telling him about how many dissappeared and that there were screams being carried by the wind (which is another scene that kind of stuck with me).

And then this. The last moment of a soldier, who saw Vincent come closer and reported all he could, before dying. And Vincent not only payed him his last respects, but also stayed until the end.

I don't know how to say it, but in that moment, I'm sure the soldier was happy to not die alone and found some kind of closure reporting what happened to someone who could do what he couldn't anymore, help.

My mom planted a tree when I was born/she was pregnant with me.

The tree has been gone for a few years now.

Nature has cut it down.

But I'm still here.

I outlived my tree.

I stood taller, despite its size.

I remain standing despite its might.

What about you?

What about your tree?

[soundcrusher]

I'm gonna say it.

I love how expressive his eyes are. You can see when his mood changes, when he gets unhinged, when he's gleefull, when he's angry, when he's having fun hunting.

It was so freaking amazing to see it when playing Intermission, I was just sitting there like: "Oh... Oh wow. He's freaky." And just being taken aback by how much was portrayed by so little.

Outside of fan things, this was my first introduction to Nero, and it's safe to say, I now know why people like him.

[soundcrusher]

I think it says a lot about me and my research, when the first thing that shows up when I type "f" into the website searchbar is the fandom wiki page for Reeve Tuesti.

[soundcrusher]

I'm currently replaying Final Fantasy VII Remake and, damn, I forgot how preachy and angry Barret is.

[soundcrusher]

Oh! Oh! OH! I'VE GOT SOME OF THOSE!

Lemme get my guys!

Oh! This is great! Because this means there are more of these guys to collect, right? I'll get to hunt more Primes, right? Right!?

Heheheheh, I hope I find some more guys!

The Halo of Primus is made out of the sigils of all of the other primes– With the only exception being Thirteen’s sigil, which is missing. 

I added the names of each Prime here (somewhat poorly in Paint, lmao) because the version of this image on the TF Wiki doesn’t specify which sigil belongs to who, although you’ll notice these sigils are used on the Wiki on any pages that relate to a given Prime. 

The reason why Thirteen’s sigil is missing is likely because he requested that all evidence of his existence/identity (prior to his “reincarnation”) should be erased, which Alpha Trion agreed to (although somewhat reluctantly). 

Hopefully this is helpful for someone! :)

OH YOU ASKED FOR IT PAL

💛: What is a popular ship you just can't get behind, and why?

Cloud x Tifa

And not for the reasons you think of when you talk about this ship. I can see the appeal and I won’t get on the fence about how Cloud shouldn’t be with her, because, well, at the end of the day, people ship what they want to ship.

I don’t like them, because of the way she uses their “friendship” as a tool to get Cloud to do the things she wants him to do.

I’m going to be honest and say that I didn’t play the original. All my knowledge comes from Remake, Rebirth, and the little bits and pieces I didn’t skip in Ever Crisis. And from what I’ve seen, she’s an awful “friend” from the get-go. Not only does she rope Cloud into the shit Avalanche does, but she also lies to him about getting paid. He is forced do this whole side-quest where he follows her Around Sector 7 to help install those water filters and gets antagonised by every fucking person.

And instead of being like “Please stop being like that to Cloud. He’s going through things” she just tells him to be nice. Like, girl, they are assholes to him, and he just reacts accordingly. There’s a saying in my country that, translated, is like “The way you scream into the woods, the same way it comes back out”. Meaning, if you’re met with people who are assholes to you, they will get the same kind of treatment from you.

Cloud’s standoffish and cold, because he’s met with scrutiny. And sure, the people might be vary of him, because he’s wearing a SOLDIER uniform and they very much care about Tifa, but it’s still rude of them. And Tifa’s not helping either. On the contrary, she’s making everything worse by telling Cloud to be “Nice” and making him out to look like an asshole.

And the worst of it all, Cloud doesn’t even get paid accordingly. He should have charged extra for every second he spends following his “friend” on their shit fuck side-quest.

💜: Which character is way hotter than everyone else seems to think?

Can I even say Reeve, because there are enough people who share that opinion?

If not, I’m going to go with the Bellhop from the Haunted Hotel and Chaos. Other than that, everyone else is pretty much mainstream.

Edit: I'm adding Broden, because he's also hot!

🤍: Which character is not as morally bad as everyone else seems to think?

Again, I am not as well versed in, well, basically everything, but if I must go off from things I have learned from fandom osmosis, it seems to be Genesis?  Like, sure, he killed a lot of people, but so has everyone. Not even Avalanche can wash their hands from all the lives they have ruined.

🖤: Which character is not as morally good as everyone else seems to think?

Fucking... I’ll go with Tifa again. Mostly because of the reasons I have already given in the first question. Like, taking advantage of a “friend” while they’re going through some shit and then not giving them any kind of safe place to get their shit together is a very shitty thing to do.

Sure, I can see why she did it but come on. She hasn’t seen Cloud in a while, and the first thing she does is put him in a group with an asshat with a gun who keeps on being an asshole to him.

💖: What is your biggest unpopular opinion about the series?

Some of the clothing choices in the game are terrible, I would change them if I could.

If I had to give some examples, it would be like this:

Rosso -> Give. That. Woman. Better. Pants!

Shalua -> If she must wear a skirt, give her a better one.

Yufie -> That’s a fucking teenager. Give her better pants and a shirt.

Weiss -> Give that man a shirt! I know his abbs are nice and all, but he’s gonna get cold! (Don’t come at me! This is the big sister/mom-friend in me talking!)

Sephiroth -> Same reasons as Weiss.

Cloud -> That SOLDIERs uniform looks stupid on him. Either give him better gear or put him back into his Trooper uniform. At least that would give him some form of better protection.

💕: What is an unpopular ship that you like?

You’re mocking me, aren’t you?

Haunted Hotel Bellhop x Reeve. Fight me on that, I dare you.

I also like Reeve x Chaos. You may also fight me on that.

[soundcrusher]

The only reason why I haven't started posting Dirge of Cerberus screenshots is, because I don't know if I should or not.

I mean, could I get in trouble for it? Would people even want to see them? Who knows.

[soundcrusher]

Okay, I can see why people like this chester.

This guy just popped out of the tree, tormented Pure Vanilla, turned everything into a circus, and then proceeded to be the most dramatic guy in the whole game.

I love him.

[soundcrusher]

New addition to the FF7 shelf I made. If this keeps on going, I'll need a bigger shelf. 😅

[soundcrusher]

The tree is set up.

Tomorrow, the figures will follow.

[soundcrusher]

Okay, listen, LISTEN!

Reeve and Cid friendship, but they're like this.

Does anyone see my vision?! I need Reeve and Cid friendship! Maybe they're even dating, I don't know! I just need content with them!

[soundcrusher]

I'm kind of obsessed over this little Weiss I doodled

Because after I did this, I got myself some more Final Fantasy cards and got...

ANOTHER ONE OF THESE! I HAVE SEVEN OF THEM NOW! SEVEN!

Well, technically I have six, because I gave one away, but still! I got seven!

This bitch is haunting me harder than Sephiroth!
