#while aerith’s like. LMFAO

[valentimmy]

i found out about the concept where they were siblings and now I

[astrxealis]

i will ignore ffvii until i play rebirth myself bcs just looking at art makes me want to cry (good) already

[giuilily]

"But I'm not gonna complain if it gives us the possibility of getting her back in Part 3 lol" <- agree haha I was totally ready to accept her death (tbh i did not even consider that she wouldn't die this time until people were speculating about it before rebirth's release loll) but I am happy that we may get her back and also intrigued to see how they try to tie all of this together...

I think my overall feelings on Rebirth in general will depend a lot on how game 3 ends up going. Remake I feel can stand on its own a bit better since it is so contained. But truly why did we literally fight destiny at the end of Remake if things are just going to end up the same lol what was the point of all this! It also feels quite a downer to be like well you actually cannot change fate sorry lmao nice try though.

Something that concerns me with the defying fate/destiny thing is 1. Biggs dies anyway despite being saved 2. Zack ends up facing a firing squad no matter what (when he goes looking for hojo or when he goes after Biggs, although ofc in that case he chooses to throw himself into the void instead which i suppose could be seen as a change lol) so it's like... their fate is repeating itself in these different worlds, can it be changed? (I'm still confused as to the big rainbow flash on the Biggs path when Zack chooses to go to Hojo, does that mean theres a universe where Biggs goes to the reactor and Zack doesn't follow him so Biggs.. lives in that one?)

"I'm gonna hold the devs to that since no one asked them to add in new themes to an almost 30 yo game lol." <- lmfao for real. One of my biggest concerns about this whole thing was that they were going to waaay over complicate it (looking at you kingdom hearts) and I am reserving full judgement until things are complete but I def have not had my worries assuaged yet lol

Oh yes! I forgot we saw a chihuahua/spitz plush during the date. So the terrier-verse is still around but im pretty sure Zack is no longer alive in it lol unless he got sent back there again since it is the most relevant other universe. I wonder if Aerith and Cloud will ever wake up there... (maybe Saved Aerith will wake up there? if that did not create a New stamp-verse).

I agree with you on Rebirth. I did enjoy it gameplay-wise (except the moogles they can go to hell lol) and the battle system should definitely become a staple in future numbered FFs, but narrative-wise, because it's the middle part of game, there were a lot of new set-ups along with the OG story beats that we're still waiting for the pay offs in part 3, and I think they need to make it good, otherwise, if they did all of that in Rebirth and it's just gonna be the same as OG, then they just dangled Aerith's fate for suspense and marketing and nothing else. That would be pretty disrespecftul for both the character and the fans tbh.

Hmmm... I think Biggs's situation is kinda tricky in both Pug and Terrier verse because he sorta put himself in a situation where he's tempting fate. I'm kind of leaning on him dying in Terrier too since he's already at the Mako reactor already, but maybe Zack not being there to distract him puts him less at risk of getting caught by Shinra?

Biggs' death and Zack getting pulled in situations that mirror his OG death kinda reminded me of Final Destination, but I hope Nojima wasn't watching those movies while writing the Re Trilogy lol.

I think as long as they keep on putting themselves in those situations, serving their OG purpose in the narrative and facing exactly what got them killed the first time, they're basically tempting fate to finish its job. Idk how this will all play out or how they can avoid it if they need to take action.

And I'm sure Aerith will wake up in Terrier, but I'm worried about Sephiroth hunting her down in every world she's in. Cloud might find himself waking up there as well after he falls into a coma in the main world, and probably will have dreams of the place like in Rebirth, but I'm unsure if they'll wake up at the same time or not. Ngl, I would LOVE it if we form a party with him, Aerith and Zack. The potential awkward conversations would be SO funny lol.

Honestly the new worlds are so fascinating to me because the writers aren't constrained to OG in those parts. I know they'll all eventually merge, but I can't wait to see how they'll handle them and how the game will conclude!

[doomboogie]

Got through Ch 1 and Ch 2. Trying to even out my thoughts with gripes and praise but uhh so far mostly complaints. It feels very FFXV in a lot of ways that I don’t think are great! Nothing super coherent or clear yet in the critique department

My concerns were immediately founded . I hope this game can make me at least tolerate Zack since he’s obviously gonna be a major part of it and I’ve never been a fan. Remake made me change some of my reception to other characters so it’s certainly possible!

Repeating NPC dialogue still sucks, but that’s not unique to FF. Still annoying.

Zangan is interesting and I’m really wanting more of him! I like his design a lot.

Don’t like the addition of Aerith chiming in on “You asshole!” when Cloud goes through Tifa’s room, I liked when it was just Tifa in the demo.

😞 they removed the sheet music from Tifa’s piano.

The audio mixing is still bad. The music is way too loud, even when manually adjusting in the options settings. Voices get drowned out

The acoustic guitar rendition of Tifa’s theme is really cute

I don’t mind the yellow shelf paint, because the game is already so visually busy it really needs to paint to stand out

As one half of my favorite YT video gamers, ChipCheezum, said: there is a level of nuance given to Sephiroth here that he usually isn’t given, and it is very refreshing to see

Pacing is a bit slow while crawling in the village. By a bit slow I mean way too slow

Cutting the camera away from Tifa showing her scar just made the scene funny, idk why they did that

Literally laughed out loud at the weather warfare conspiracy. I get that magic exists in this world but lmfao, yeah, Wutai controls the weather. Great cover story Shinra

I see a mysterious freak with a kind disposition and dying cough and I latch on, so Broden’s inevitable doom will break my heart.

I usually like remake Aerith fine but Christ she is very aggressive in her flirting and there’s no option to tell her no. I don’t care about the love triangle and never have so it’s just exhausting.

I spent all of Ch 2 with Red and Barret as my party because I got so tired of the romance shit with the girls in the opening scenes. Doesn’t seem to matter tho because party members never really say anything unless there’s a side quest they care about.

Red’s fun to play, I like his spins a lot! He still does the standing up roaring animation on battle end which is cute, and he rides a chocobo like a human shaped person which is also cute.

Animations are slow and overbearing. Not quite rdr2 levels but still enough to be annoying.

There’s a few seconds after moving from something or getting up from a bench when you cannot enter the start menu or save menu and it trips me up every time.

MAI. Is certainly a character. I turned her voice off (and by extension Chadley) because the one introduction was too much. Chadley is fine, Chadley is good. I did not need a worse version of him chittering in my ear during combat. It’s like they saw how (some) people like Purah and wanted to make their own.

There’s a lot going on mechanics wise and I think maybe there’s too much. Crafting, synergy moves, weapon abilities, folios, equipment leveling, materia, all on top of the combat system. I do not think this game needed crafting, tbh.

Fuck queen’s blood and fuck the side quest chain for it. Sorry Tifa, I’m not helping out this bartender because i don’t like this card game and your favored side quest requires me to play it.

The field and combat versions of Hollow are great, really liked those.

Fuck those moogles, man.

I hate the overfilled open world! Society has progressed past the need for open world in everything! What took 10 minutes in the original is now 10 hours - I don’t see how people can consider that a good thing when most of that time is wandering around doing fetch quests and gathering crafting materials. Unfortunately the only way to find out which quests are actually interesting is by playing them through. A burst pipe leading to a fast approaching energy crisis? Sounds interesting, too bad fucking Kyrie ruins it. A farmer’s cows are harassed by a monster? Sounds boring as fuck, but it leads to a questline shedding light on Junon’s history and Broden’s past, both of which are interesting and relevant to the story!

MUSICAL TASTES FOR FINAL FANTASY MUSES:

aerith: listens to kate bush, janis joplin, fiona apple and mitski and lays in the flowers snuggled up to the dirt as if the earth is her mother & her sister & her bed & her grave all at once

barret: the music his momma made him listen to him throws him back to simpler times. but when he wants to pump himself up for a mission to free the planet---it’s bad brains, dead kennedys, against me!, bikini kill, the 5.6.7.8s.

gladio: classical music. hates ‘classic rock’ with a passion. has a secret love of 1910s big band & swing too. hates electric swing tho. don’t talk to him about electroswing.

fang: loves kpop and jpop girl groups, learns all the songs and dances, watches all the videos, acts out the especially gay dance moves with vanille. will reply to ur shitty twitter post with her bias’s fancam. also a big fan of disco.

ardyn: listens SOLEY to show tunes. if its not in a musical and he can’t mime singing it to himself he doesn’t care about it. exceptions to the rule, a deep fondness for nancy sinatra, blondie, and eartha kitt.

jecht: classic rnb, soul and jazz. has a great deep voice for singing the oldies. jecht was around when tidus was a baby more than he remembers, and to this day if tidus hears ‘let’s stay together’ he immediately is hit with the desire to fall the fuck to sleep

ignis: british alternative music. loves bloc party, pulp & muse. has a suprising love of electronic based pop music as well. he will absolutely do a backflip to daft punk at a moment’s notice if asked to do anything other than tap his foot. gladio thinks he might have a crush on the robots.

hello may I request a romantic matchup for final fantasy vii?

my pronouns are they/them and I don't have a preference for the gender of my match^^

my mbti is intp. I'm a very shy and reserved person in public, I try not to cause too much attention but also express myself openly. I suffer from anxiety ( I don't take meds or anything so I'm usually on edge) and overthink about people/other things. If you get to know me, im a huge extrovert and cheerful person. I love making jokes and laughing <3 I'm airheaded and clumsy. I'm a very random person too, more eccentric for sure. I do the most offwall things because I'm bored ( like jumping off things or asking off-putting questions). I love talking! About anything I'm hyperfixated on atm ( as in old interests or new ones!) and I can go on for hours . I'm pretty childish, but mature and mother like when I need to be. I love physical affection (even tho I say I hate it) anything like hugs is nice for me! I'm a caring person and mostly a listener. Very sassy (which people say it's "cute" from me) and sarcastic, with a whole lot of blunt. I'm a flirt too, but anything flirty from someone else gets me shy. I get very bad mood swings and it is causing trouble for me to make friends or keep them, since I'll just isolate myself from them- I also have insecurities regarding my looks (particularly my body) so I get v sour when I think about that. Alot of the times you can tell when I'm in a mood bc I get quiet. Anyway I'm a lazy, procrastinater and plainn lmao.

I love playing the piano, anime/manga, true crime (i rlly wanna be a forensic scientist), horror/gore, sanrio, videogames (i'm ur classic gamer, mt dew and doritios), oversized clothings

I dislike insects, hot weather, exercise, any bright neon colors,crowds/parties, people telling me what to do , injustice , and mornings

my music taste consists of everything (exepct country or rap music) so like Deftones,Slipknot,Korn,Ethel cain, lana del ray, HIM, tyler the creator, any vocaloid or anime songs (specially nightcore) or i love video game music

as for my fashion i dress very alternative (ihaveaseptum), kind of like a pinterest board but mostly black or like chainsaw man (power style lol). I'm a big metal head so band t'shirts or recently scene emo is my favorite

hi there! you are my first person to request from any final fantasy games and I am so over the moon about it!! i didnt know how many people actually enjoyed the series on here or wanted writing from it so thank you!!! <333 i have the perfect character for you!

the character I chose for you is...

AERITH!!!

now consider

your more dark style contrasted with her more bright style

i think it'll work beautifully

she helps calm your anxiety and truly does love you

she laughs at all your jokes and will definitely bring out that cheerier side of you when she's around

she will answer all of your weird questions honestly and surprise you by asking one too lmaooo

she will listen to you talk for hours

loves to hear what you're passionate about

you and her are both very similar by being childish and mature at the same time and you both annoy Cloud because of it lmfaoooo

you'll flirt with each other, but get flustered when it's the other person's turn lmfao

play the piano for her

she loves the piano

supports you in your dream to become a forensic scientist, thinks it's amazing that you want to do that

she will sit on your lap and hug you while you play videogames

is a literal sanrio character, so you're all good (she will buy you hello kitty merch tho frrr)

you and her both beg Cloud to be the one to kill any bug in the house lmfaooooo

lots of cuddling and just being by each other's side in your perfect little contrast :)

[silver-wield]

I’m sorry what?? “CA are the main couple because in all FF couples one of them dies” ? Aside from your post which clearly explain how they are very wrong, I can’t think but of myself when I first got to ffvii and how I believed CA also was the main couple,because everywhere I googled, and wherever there is EN explanation of the lore it was always CA, it took me finding your blog, having everything questioned, going for JP res to know everything I thought was a lie. Please go for JP res ppl!

From this ask

The so called info you found belongs to queen dumdum, who has spent a good decade or more infecting as many sources as she can with misinformation, lies and busted af headcanon with zero justification besides her say so. They recently attacked TV tropes with their bs, so nothing is safe from them.

And guess what? All that bs is from someone who never even played a single entry in final fantasy 7 or even watched any playthroughs besides a few cut scenes or gifs. I doubt she's even seen all of Advent Children.

She played kingdom hearts though which totally counts lmfao.

Bonus: Queen dumdum claimed Cloud and Aerith were childhood friends in kh, but it literally says in the kh2 walk through page for Cloud and Tifa (who are together on that page, while Aerith is several pages back with Cid, Yuffie and Squall) that they're childhood friends. And she says shit like this while also claiming being childhood friends is meaningless and that Cloud and Tifa aren't even childhood friends anyway.

Do we see how the crazy happens? Yeah...

My recommendation is don't believe anything from strayarrows, astoryofalove or cloudxaerith since they're all the same person who makes busted takes like:

Cloud tells Aerith to keep her distance cause he “can’t control his sexual urges around her”

Cloud agrees with Hojo’s plan of forced impregnation because he doesn’t deny he’s a soldier.

Cloud confessed love to Aerith during “his” resolution.

Cloud had a “discrete arousal” and an “orgasam” at seeing Aerith in her red dress.

Cloud and Aerith are already dating because the composer of midnight rendezvous said the soundtrack reminds him of Christmas and has a romantic atmosphere.

Zack would “give Aerith to Cloud”.

Corneo put the coliseum matches on just so the crowd could see Cloud and Aerith together.

Cloud dances for Aerith.

Aerith will ride the Hardy Davidson with Cloud (this one has a diagram with it)

The blue alien on the wall market vending machine foreshadows Aerith having a baby with Cloud.

Aerith knows the future because it’s a timeloop and that’s why she’ll live this time to be with Cloud.

Aerith will ride the HW and Cloud will confess his love under it (yeah, they legit stole the HW scene cause they do that shit all the time.)

Okay? This is the person behind so much bad info. Just play the game, watch the film, read the books. Even without using a translation app to read any of the ultimania you can still tell just from the pictures that Cloud and Tifa are a couple. And for the ones that are translated into English, it's a sledgehammer of obvious to the face that Cloud and Tifa are a couple.

My rule is for everything you read from a "trust me", go find a legit untainted source from a book. That's why I provide the JP and English if I'm showing pages. And if I happen to run out of space for both I usually just post the JP, but if even that's not enough I'll happily provide any sources I've cited cause canon is canon and always comes with concrete references.

[auncyen]

Ooh.... 1, 17 and 34 for ze questionnaire!

1.  I really like writing for cheerful, usually sweet characters like Ann and, from an older fandom, Aerith.  Tiz is a bit like this too, though I’m not sure I’d describe him as “sweet” lmfao.  Very sincere, in Tiz’s case.  They’re emotion-driven and don’t (usually) think themselves in circles, I guess.

(I also like writing characters that think themselves in circles every once in a while.  It’s just a little too easy to get lost in introspective navel-gazing and then remember the angst bucket exists in a physical spot where someone or something would likely have interrupted them already.)

17.  tropes I gravitate to writing for...I do like miscommunication as a trope, though I try hard to also be reasonable about it??  Like I don’t really like “misheard something and never gives the other person a chance to explain even though they usually have a good relationship” but otoh “fails at explaining themselves because historically explaining has not gone well for them” is...certainly something I’m writing at the moment.  Good communication genuinely is hard sometimes so there can be a little miscommunication-as-drama.

I also just really love hurt/comfort.  “What if” aus are also really fun, and I also like trying to use the mechanics of the world in new ways.

34.  I have felt emotional during writing way too many scenes to name a specific one lmfao.  Though to be honest, this isn’t as much of a thing for me anymore.  I still occasionally get hyped about a scene, but in that case I’m......probably not writing it but up and pacing while thinking through a particular moment.  (This doesn’t sound that productive, but honestly getting emotional during writing was not that productive for me either.)

[escapekissed]

for me and for some of my characters titles or gendered terms we call ourselves don’t indicate gender at all, just feelings, just ways of presenting in gender non-conforming ways. ‘actress’ feels different than ‘actor’ ‘king’ feels different than ‘queen’ ‘goddess’ feels different than ‘god’ and most of them like playing with gender enough that they slip in and out of roles while always still being the removed gender they identify as.

it’s just kind of a gender play thing and a ‘camp’ thing more than anything.

this is most apparent in xemnas---who is non-binary as hell, and aerith who i hc as trans girl but who canonically loves drag and lgbt people lmfao. but i’m sure it’s present for other muses too it just comes up most with xemnas and aerith

[foxtophat]

hey i’ve been playing ffvii: remake instead of writing, you want to hear my thoughts???

IT’S REALLY GOOD :( ff7 is one of the few games i ever beat but i barely remembered any of the plot beyond the first scenario and some random points throughout. i remember speeding through the midgar part and basically being like “lol biggs and wedge aint that from star wars” and then i just wrote cid/vincent fic for a while

but with so much time to flesh out the plot, it looks like they finally got to do a lot of the stuff that they wanted to do but couldn’t b/c of data constraints.  cloud is a real character and a cute baby boy, and tifa and aerith have a wonderful relationship that doesn’t feel like a love triangle in the making. actually now i am fully an ot3 shipper here, take that to the bank and cash it in for a million boonbucks wy don’t you

my gripes are mostly all game-related and not story-related or even voice-actor related (although i’m not... 100% fond of reno’s voice, it’s accurate i just don’t like it lmfao fuck reno that dummy)... basically i don’t have a playstation pro and you can TELL i don’t. the background textures are shitty and pixelated. i entered a cutscene and the floor didn’t load for a full 3 seconds of it.  the cut-scenes are phenomenal but there’s this clear “oh, you didn’t pay ENOUGH so don’t expect the BEST” vibe from the graphics that i don’t like.  then again i haven’t seen comparison shots between ps4 and ps4pro so i can’t say for sure. maybe the game just has shitty graphics, buuuuut with how long we’ve been waiting for this I SURE HOPE NOT.

overall it was worth the money and i’m probably gonna beat it tonight or tomorrow and then become obsessed with ffvii again which is gonna be a blast from the past let me tell YOU

[thememcry]

      ↳ @sweettifalockhart​ asked, “  Aerith and Tifa for that ship meme 8D ” ------ultimate ship meme! // accepting.

General:

Rate the Ship -   Awful | Ew | No pics pls | I’m not comfortable | Alright | I like it! | Got Pics? | Let’s do it! | Why is this not getting more attention?! | The OTP to rule all other OTPs

How long will they last? - let’s step back and consider this for a moment. tifa and aerith have always been plagued with the ideal that they’re fighting over cloud. but maybe cloud was just standing in the way of a love that would transcend dimensions? anyway. i think tifa and aerith are endgame material. follow the pattern for the lord of the rings and show us where they’ll be in the future? living in aerith’s gorgeous house secluded in sector 5 with flowers, tended by all the kids they adopted, while they hold hands on the porch and reminisce about their adventuring days.

How quickly did/will they fall in love? - their chemistry is immediate. it’s obvious that they have a connection from the moment they actually speak to one-another. i think it’s a quick one. you get these girls together and they just feed affection and positive vibes off of each other. feelings definitely form fast.

How was their first kiss? - soft. soft because both girls are bad bitches in their own right, but they’re seeing and dealing with hard things and they deserve something completely gentle and sweet to counter-balance the literal nightmare fuel in their lives. 

Wedding:

Who proposed? - aerith.

Who is the best man/men? - cloud.

Who is the bride’s maid(s)? - jessie or marlene.

Who did the most planning? - it was an equal effort opportunity.

Who stressed the most? - probably tifa. i see aerith being very laid back about it.

How fancy was the ceremony? - Back of a pickup truck | 2 | 3 | 4 | Normal Church Wedding | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Kate and William wish they were this big.

Who was specifically not invited to the wedding? - outside of the usual suspects (lol the don), nobody was specifically barred from coming.

Sex:

Who is on top? - they switch. it depends on the mood and the feel of the moment.

Who is the one to instigate things? - aerith, initially. after that, whoever’s in the mood proper.

How healthy is their sex life? - Barely touch themselves let alone each other | 2 | 3 | 4 | Once a couple weeks, nothing overboard | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | They are humping each other on the couch right now

How kinky are they? - Straight missionary with the lights off | 2 | 3 | 4 | Might try some butt stuff and toys | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Don’t go into the sex dungeon without a horse’s head

How long do they normally last? - again, this varies. sometimes you just need a quickie to shirk the stress. sometimes you want to light some candles, spread some flower petals, and make a night of it. they’re very in tune with each other and which end of that pendulum they’re swaying.

Do they make sure each person gets an equal amount of orgasms? - absolutely.

How rough are they in bed? - Softer than a butterfly on the back of a bunny | 2 | 3 | 4 | The bed’s shaking and squeaking every time | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Their dirty talk is so vulgar it’d make Dwayne Johnson blush. Also, the wall’s so weak it could collapse the next time they do it.

How much cuddling/snuggling do they do? -  No touching after sex | 2 | 3 | 4 | A little spooning at night, or on the couch, but not in public | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | They snuggle and kiss more often than a teen couple on their fifth date to a pillow factory.

Children:

How many children will they have naturally? - they adopt kids like an old widow adopts cats, though.

How many children will they adopt? - see above.

Who gets stuck with the most diapers? - they share! but if tifa is working, aerith will take over the duty primarily, no questions asked.

Who is the stricter parent? - honestly??? i feel like aerith.

Who stops the kid(s) from doing dangerous stunts after school? - both. but they also both kind of ... influence ... it...

Who remembers to pack the lunch(es)? - both!

Who is the more loved parent? - literally both.

Who is more likely to attend the PTA meetings? - it’s a joint effort babEY

Who cried the most at graduation? - ugh aerith.

Who is more likely to bail the child(ren) out of trouble with the law? - tifa lmfao.

Cooking:

Who does the most cooking? - aerith, if only because tifa is working :3

Who is the most picky in their food choice? - i imagine they’re both pretty laid back about it.

Who does the grocery shopping? - mostly aerith, but tifa comes along when she’s not busy.

How often do they bake desserts? - their house smells like flowers and sweets, thanks.

Are they more of a meat lover or a salad eater? - an even balance.

Who is more likely to surprise the other(s) with an anniversary dinner? - it’s a switch effort. they try to surprise each other, or if one is more stressed than the other it becomes a cheer-up effort.

Who is more likely to suggest going out? - aerith. ms let’s go on an adventure.

Who is more likely to burn the house down accidently while cooking? - neither. they’re both pretty kitchen savvy.

Chores:

Who cleans the room? - i imagine they’re both pretty tidy people. so it’s not something that needs a set list or time to do it. just a clean as you mess effort.

Who is really against chores? - neither.

Who cleans up after the pets? - both.

Who is more likely to sweep everything under the rug? - neither lmao.

Who stresses the most when guests are coming over? - i feel like? tifa does.

Who found a dollar between the couch cushions while cleaning? - tifa lmfao. it’s probably a tip from the bar, too, that fell out of her pocket ioshdf

Misc:

Who takes the longer showers/baths? - tifa, because she has a lot of hair, y’feel?

Who takes the dog out for a walk? - both. it’s a nice excuse to go out together.

How often do they decorate the room/house for the holidays? - every damn holiday. both. instigated by aerith.

What are their goals for the relationship? - to be those old women holding hands on the porch, watching their grandbabies tend the flowers.

Who is most likely to sleep till noon? - tifa. poor thing works night shifts.

Who plays the most pranks? - a e r i t h.

[tsuburu]

Can I vent? I've seen cl*tis claim that there is no solid proof in the original ffvii that cloud loved aerith as aerith is 'underdeveloped' while saying in the same breath that cloud must love teefa lmfao. Also someone said that there is no romantic interaction between clerith before the date. Imagine being that delusional. WTF

honestly, same anon, same. even as a former cIoti shipper i was able to acknowledge cloud and aerith in disc one and beyond, and that cloud thought aerith was the cat’s meow. even now as a clerith i, at the very least, am able to acknowledge cloud liked tifa when they were kids, but that’s the extent of it lmao. as for aerith being underdeveloped, fjjsjsk bitch?? is you blind??!

aerith way more developed than tifa, who kinda seems like an afterthought until the lifestream sequence and the under the highwind scene lmao. tifa is cool, but miss me with the “aerith is underdeveloped compared to tifa!!” shit

[astoryofalove]

That anon seems way too focused and bothered by you. Lmfao at them saying how you’re making up Clerith things, as if SE themselves haven’t called Clerith lovers multiple times or gave them romantic montages, art galleries, weddings, etc. SE is the one that’s made this stuff, we Clerith’s just like it. And I know this anon is trying to be “funny”, but given that they can’t just let us like what we like, they come across as an assholish, jealous, bothered hater that can’t mind their own business.

(message was sent to me 4 days ago, I’m so sorry for lateness)

It’s funny, I thought of your reply the moment I read an anon hate I got a short while ago. I’ll show you, cuz it’s super hilarious how delusional this anti is:

It’s like... what planet do they live on lol  Clerith had an entire event created for them for the biggest celebration FF has ever thrown for their series. Kitase and Uematsu and Hamaguchi all either referenced the clerith date, favors clerith scenes, or loves Aerith as a character. Advertising for the FFVII rereleases on switch and xbox has made sure to include “Cloud, Aerith, and Sephiroth” as the focal characters of the game. The clerith scenes are all getting nods from Square Enix directly. I mean, World of Final Fantasy’s storyline for Cloud is about his love and grief for Aerith.

Does anon really think any of us care if T.ifa is “more popular”... Ridiculous lol

[keyofshadows]

I start looking up articles on my resident creeper's issues and it turns into this. I'm not complaining.

keyofshadows Yep, always knew that Sedge was a sociopath. Omg. Poor Ronan. Hell, poor everyone, especially Ro's mom. - https://www.healthyplace.com/personality-disorders/sociopath/symptoms-of-a-sociopath-in-men-women-children/

sstingray well part of creating a character IS knowing who they are so

keyofshadows Except for the emotion thing. The emotions that he expresses are very real. Ha, knowing Sedge is something I could do without sometimes. And he's mocking Ray again. /sigh

sstingray he can mock all he likes i'm still the winner go suck a dick sedge you already lost

keyofshadows LMFAO Kai is so happy that he fell in with you people, this is the best thing ever. Okay, he'll be stubborn forever about not getting to take his father out himself, but at least he's not the only one who mouths off to him. And I didn't read far enough, anger IS a thing. - Sociopaths don't have feelings or emotions, nor do sociopaths cry genuinely. However, they do experience proto-emotions, primitive emotions that rear their ugly heads in moments of perceived need. The sociopath is quite capable of intense anger, and rage.

sstingray there's a shock

keyofshadows I'm still working on 'Look Kai was stupid and tried to stick a bracelet on his father and got his ass kicked for it' - working title - and figuring by the time Ray ends up taking on Sedge, Kai should be well enough to technically fight, but it wouldn't be advisable, and not just because Ray is opposed. But stubborn brat is stubborn and needs to be grounded. So he'd end up being more of a liability than anything. Ray's gonna have so much shit to give him after this, holy crap.

sstingray once she heals up herself :v

sstingray there's no way she's getting out of that fight totally unscathed

keyofshadows Nope. Apologies for that ahead of time. :/

sstingray nah man i've been wondering if there should be a lasting injury tbh just haven't had time to think about it much ya know

keyofshadows Everyone that deals with Sedge walks away with scars, either emotional or physical. Maya and Taelyn got the emotional ones, Kai physical, and Ro both. He tends to forget/block out that he even has that scar though. If Ray ever saw the kid without a shirt and asked why he had a claw mark on his left shoulder blade, Ro would give her a blank look at first before going pale and stammering everywhere. Then telling her it was nothing.

sstingray asks kai about it later probably

keyofshadows Which leads to Kai trying very hard not to punch something while he explains that once when Ro disobeyed Sedge, the creeper set a Neo Shadow on him. Ro had only one scar because Sedge was feeling 'generous'.

sstingray depending on whether that happens before or after the big fight she would go way harder on sedge

keyofshadows She should find out before so she can show Sedge her 'generosity'.

sstingray cool cool cool

sstingray she doesn't go all out on just anybody you know

keyofshadows Ro's gonna have so many mixed feelings about this. And find out that Kai told her about the scar. And tell Ray that she shouldn't have put herself in danger for him, even partially. All while hugging her hard enough to pop.

sstingray tbh she could probs guess anyway she'd mostly just be asking kai to confirm it and you shush ronan she is the adult here and she will do what she wants

keyofshadows But aunt Ray, adult or not, getting yourself killed is a Bad Thing. This kid has a terror of being the reason someone gets hurt or killed, and it being someone he loves is even more frightening.

sstingray she did not die thank you very much she has a pristine record for not dying

keyofshadows He'd like her to keep that record up, please. Also figuring that the first couple days after Sedge bites it, Ronan goes against his manners and invites himself to stay at Ray's to look after her, even if she doesn't need it. Then he can go home and lecture Kai on the whole 'stop being stubborn and just apologize to aunt Ray for being stupid already' thing.

sstingray depends on how bad her injuries are i guess bad enough and she might have to stay with mabry or aerith for a bit who knows what are these kids gonna do when she actually dies though damn she's not invincible

keyofshadows Pfff, the kid's gonna be glued to her no matter where she is. And hovering while trying not to hover. And being helpful fetching things. Ugh, there's an idea no one wants to think about. Kai's like 'do resurrection spells actually exist' and NO KAI. Also there is no unicorn blood in this universe, put the Harry Potter books down.

sstingray if it works she's going to kill him and go back to sleep i mean death like honestly what the fuck child you should know better

keyofshadows Beware Kai trying to track down Song then and ask about that phylactery-whatever-the-hell. Would that even work by that time? Hello Kai do you want your ass kicked.

ESTABLISHED RELATIONSHIP MEME 

@celestehart [ IN WHICH I JUST THROW HALF MY FF MUSES AT U LOL]

AERITH & TIFA : ok i’m a bad lesbian bc i dont really know how i feel about aerti but also? i just want my aerith to be like. obsessed with ur tifa in particular. tifa voice: are we flirting or are we friend flirting? aerith voice: yes. they are clearly so important to each other and they have a similar way of projecting femininity to the world, of being both cute & adorable & pretty in all the ways that count, but also... BADASS. fighters! who joke around and have fun! who are sometimes anxious and sometimes need to be saved, but also that are SO CAPABLE OF SAVING EACH OTHER WITHOUT ANY BOIS. i love them so much and u make me love them more!!!! i would love a. friends to best friends to best-friends-with-crushes to best friends-with-crushes-that-are-maybe-lovers-but-also-maybe-this-is-just-how-she-shows-affection? to THE FINAL ADMISSION OF FEELIGNS.... slow burn, baby!

BARRET & TIFA : i want them to be like. the best of friends. i want any time tifa to have yelled at barret to be from the place of a woman who is just as much of family to him as marlene, i want them to understand each other and love each other and not know who really counts as the big sibling and who counts as the little sibling bc they take care of each other so well in different ways, but also, tifa is DEFINITELY marlene’s auntie and that’s all that really matters. i want them to be PARTNERS in business and revolution and everything AVALANCHE does, i want barret to feel likes she’s just as much of a founder as he is and tifa to feel like he’s just as much a part of the soul of her business. I WANT EVERYTHING FROM THEM LOL.

GLADIO & TIFA : this is sort of a crack ship on my part, but i see potential for them bc in my au, gladio is a wutai general in the ongoing war. while in ff7 the war is pretty much over, i hc the war in ff7r is still going on. i think tifa and gladio could be an interesting expression of mainland vs emmigrant anxieties about the war in a fascinating and important way, and i think gladio would both have great respect for tifa as a warrior, and great sympathy for her as someone of wutai heritage. i also think he could try to convince tifa to join the wutai army as like. a fun sideplot? lmfao it could be cool, and it would be like. classically romantic in a way lmfao

TIFA & FANG : my fang is a part of the main branch of avalanche that didn’t defect---but she kind of agrees with barret even tho they butt heads. i see them as having an antagonistic relationship as tifa’s allegiances is always aligned with barret----but they start to warm up to eachother as bad ass lady warriors and immigrants over time when fang joins them on their journey! RIVALS TO FRIENDS AU.

NAME OF YOUR MUSE: Aerith Gainsborough

ONE PICTURE YOU LIKE:

TWO HEADCANONS YOU HAVE FOR YOUR MUSE YOU NEVER TOLD ANYONE:

Before she knew she was an Ancient, when Aerith was a very young child and when she would hear people returning to the planet, she just thought they were imaginary friends hence the word imaginary since she couldn’t even see them herself. Then when Ifalna told her they weren’t imaginary but actual souls returning to the planet, she became kind of horrified of it and that’s why when Tseng first tried to convert her to work for ShinRa did she refuse of her gift. Then later on she would hide in her room for hours and hours once she heard voices trying to convince herself they weren’t real. Though in-between, the only time Aerith really accepted everything was when Elmyra’s late husband came to her.

Aerith tells Cloud that she ‘thinks’ her first boyfriend just found another girl and moved on, but really I think Aerith was just in deep deep denial that he was dead. (I mean come on, that scene of her when he is dying? Girl I’m sorry, but that hunky hunk is d-e-a-d.)

THREE THINGS THAT YOUR MUSE LIKES DOING IN THEIR FREE TIME:

Tending the flowers. If you didn’t know what already then wtf are you

Learning more about materia mostly from Yuffie. Aerith really knew nothing of materia before she left Midgar, since she never really needed to know why. Al though the gang explained many times how the combinations works and all, Yuffie’s definition was always more clear since she was so enthusiastic about them.

I don’t know if this counts, but when she began to travel, she would always take her own free time to look around for some flowers. Not many types grew in Midgar, so seeing the different types of flowers from around the world always gave her some sort of new hope and connection to the planet.

SEVEN PEOPLE THAT YOUR MUSE LOVES: ( in no particular order )

Elmyra Gainsborough - Adoptive mother

Ifalna - Though most memory of her is faded, she will never forget what her mother went through just to keep Aerith safe.

Professor Gast - No memories of her father, but her mother had told her about his sacrifices for her when she could understand and she will always be grateful.

Zack Fair - First love? How about the frick frack snick snack always yes

Tseng - Known since she was child, and though it was the Turk’s job to ‘capture the Ancient’, he somehow managed to go on many years without doing so for her sake.

Cloud Strife - The bodyguard who rescued her from ShinRa and did his best to keep her safe.

The whole damn squad [Tifa, Barret, Nanaki, Yuffie, Cait Sith, Cid, Vincent] - if you traveled around the world with a group of people for a long ass time, how can you not become closer to them and consider them your family?

TWO THINGS YOUR MUSE REGRETS:

Running off to the City of the Ancients without any help. She doesn’t have any regrets on dying in the matter, but Cloud’s depression is what she regrets. Yes, she regrets have saddened everybody [especially including her mother], but having Cloud blame himself for years for not being able to protect her is what hurts the most.

Not saying a proper goodbye to her mother. The last time Elmyra saw her was when Aerith placed Marlene in the care of her, and all the while being chased by Tseng. I imagine Tseng let Aeith have a moment with her, but with her friends in graive danger, she rushidly told her mother that everything would be alright and all. After she escaped with her friend’s she had wanted to sneak back and have more words with her mother, but never got around to it. Then poor Emlyra was told by the hands of Reeve that Aerith was killed. ouch

TWO PHOBIAS/FEARS YOUR MUSE HAS:

Knowing nothing of her race. With Aerith being the very last of her kind is terrifying. Her mother never got a change to tell Aerith everything she knew, and poor Aerith never saw the tapes her father made asking Ifalna about the Cetra. She knows not much of her race or abilities to help the planet and if anything were to happen to it she would always blame herself for being innocently? ignorant.

Professor Hojo. The scientist craved knowledge (and not just of her kind) so much he held her and her mother captive for 7 years, actually killed people for it, *cough cough FATHER* and technically mother, and unsuccessfully forced her into breading with another dying race just so that he could have more information. After she escaped she has had her fair share of nightmares because of this sick man, and when Tseng captured her again all those years later, she didn’t think she would be able to make it.

TAGGING PEOPLE: uh... i’m such a hypocrite.  TAGGED BY: @tragic--oracle, @finalhxaven​ and @tacticalgunner (I know the one time I actually get tagged in things and it’s the same one lmfao i’m cri. Thank you for thinking of me though *blows kiss* for dad.)
