Cid Raines You'll Always Be Famous To Me

sometimes i think about how similar celes from ffvi and sephiroth from ffvii are. both of them were genetically engineered people with the intent of their creation to help take over the world.

but celes' "father" was kind, and she was younger, had more hope, and took the chance to escape from the gestahlian empire. she rebelled, was locked up, and immediately was rescued by locke. she also knew from her birth that she was different, created with this ability to manipulate magic that had faded from the human race.

sephiroth's father on the other hand was not so kind. keeping him in the lab, putting him on the frontlines of a war as a teen, and building up his cautionary, defensive personality. encouraging him to self-isolate, encouraging him to be. alone. when shit hit the fan, sephiroth's hope of a loving mother, a happy family, an escape? it was gone. to learn he wasn't exactly human, while his friends he'd been told not to make died left and right? it's easy to see why they took different turns.

but still- celes' escape from her past tells me that in another timeline, sephiroth could've made it out too.

i love leslie kyle. he's:

1) helping literal terrorists go do more terrorism bc at least they're not his sex trafficking mob boss

2) just looking for his fiancee/girlfriend (he says girlfriend in TKAA:ATSS but says fiancee in remake continuity so...)

3) going to eventually becomes friends/coworkers with kyrie canaan. the future angel of the slums kyrie canaan.

4) voiced by mark whitten. i just like him, really.

5) still wearing that UGLY LEOPARD PRINT JACKET. STILL.

okay you know the meme where person a says "i'm going to (go do something)" and person b says "not dressed like that you aren't!" and then person a says "is this better?" and person b says "yaas bitch slay"

that but genesis and minerva.

genesis: i'm going to go kidnap my brother from a cave!

minerva: not dressed like that you aren't!

genesis: is this better?

minerva: yaas bitch slay!

this is insane im sorry i can't make memes. does this make sense??

now that i'm about halfway through dirge of cerberus, i went back and replayed remake intergrade, chapter 2...

the thing that stuck out to me the MOST is that the deepground lackeys or whatever the hell you wanna call them are totally outfitted for long range combat when they fight yuffie and sonon. i also remembered WAY more members actually being there- but in all actuality you probably only see 20 or so members, including the ones nero murders (out of boredom or for power? another day.)

but they're all equipped with their stupid like, range enhancing helmets that would fucking impossible to see out of at short range (hello security officer helmet, but at least that thing doesn't cover their whole head.) and they're all wearing pants, which begs the question. was it just a small sample size (~20 members) or did they change the deepground uniforms in the three years inbetween remake intergrade and dirge of cerberus? 'cause they're totally wearing different outfits depending on their gender in dirge of cerberus- their thighs are OUT if they're women. but all pants in intergrade. did we only fight men, or was there an outfit change...?

also nero has split pupils (cat pupils? idk the right word) like sephiroth... is that just a jenova thing? if so, why don't more SOLDIERs have eyes like that??

having a flare up = forcing it on my blorbos of the month

zack revival after meteorfall au where he has chronic pain and cloud takes care of him on his hard days which is hard for zack because he's always been the one taking care of everyone around him. he was helping aerith with her flower wagons, he was trying to help angeal and sephiroth and genesis stay sane, hell he was trying to help cloud with his motion sickness!! and now his body revolts and makes him sore and exhausted for days on end.

cloud tries to convince him he really doesn't mind takin' care of him, that he loves him, but it's hard for him to take, y'know? it's hard to accept help when it feels like accepting defeat, and it's even harder to accept help when you don't exactly know what's goin' on.

ugh i'm so tired of this you guys

i just found out viceroy sarruf is implied to be rufus 😭 wdym they pulled a gerad again??? i wanted it to be someone completely unrelated but nooOOOo.
