I hate to do this again, but I'm out of options. I have to pay my $350 power bill by 5pm CST tomorrow (December 7th, 2023) or I'll be disconnected, and my account is currently over $500 in the red from December's rent. I still haven't been able to find a new job and things are getting really desperate
If I can get $350 within the next 24 hours, I can pay the bill directly through paypal and at least keep my lights on while keeping my bank account overdrawn for now. If you're able to help out, my ko-fi is here, and you can DM me for my paypal or venmo if necessary. Reblogs are also appreciated. Thanks y'all <3
$0/350

I am still reading through Ultimania translations like a certain someone in the data room…
Here are some curious notes on our Jenova Project scientists, Vincent, and Sephiroth that I know you will all appreciate.
Tumblr media
That note about Hojo envying Gast and his genius—please keep this in mind. It will come into play for these next translations.
Tumblr media
The research on Omega and the Kalm experiments were also in the Shinra manor. It makes you wonder if Sephiroth read any of that and further saw how cruel Shinra was.
Tumblr media
The Jenova cell flashes in Sephiroth’s mind that we saw in the Rebirth demo can be seen in this image from the Crisis Core guide.
Tumblr media
This is where everything becomes more interesting. Something not fully explained in DOC is Lucrecia’s own deterioration. It would appear that Vincent confronted Hojo over this after Sephiroth was born and taken away (or did he?). Lucrecia was falling to pieces it seems. (We will come back to this).
Tumblr media
(Small note, but it looks like Vincent actually did propose to Lucrecia).
The next pile of notes are from the older Ultimania Omega from 2005, and some debate the validity of the text and whether it still holds true to current canon. However, if we are willing to consider Crisis Core from 2007 as canon, then I see no issue with this Ultimania unless something is directly changed.
Tumblr media
For our Jenova project scientists, there is just more detail not spoken in the game. Some of it is fascinating and helpful.
Tumblr media
I take this information as extra insight that the original game did not give us and mostly canon as well. Reading it felt like a stab to the chest even if I knew most of it.
We know from DOC that Lucrecia did love Vincent in the end, but during their time together she pushed him away because of the guilt with his father and gave into her love for Hojo instead.
It is….strange but that line from the CC guide about Hojo’s envy of Gast was apparently a concept here too. It supposedly was so strong that it brought out a maternal love in Lucrecia. Very likely this was before Hojo was completely mad and murderous.
I also wonder if Lucrecia’s affection was only that overall. A feeling that didn’t last when she realized Hojo’s complex was destructive and not “cute.”
These are the details some debate and I believe it has been for shipping reasons in the past…but as a non-shipper, I can see this happening with such a complex group of people.
The next bit about Lucrecia’s deterioration is also odd because it almost sounds as though Lucrecia disappeared only because of her body’s collapse. DOC once again changed the order of these events to where Lucrecia left after failing to save Vincent and losing her son.
It also looks like Vincent confronted Hojo much earlier. We are now left to interpretation maybe since DOC’s own timeline is hard to follow. There are plenty of people who have these events better thought through than me.
But if we combine all of these details together and ignore the timeline, we have more reasons for Lucrecia’s breakdown in general. Vincent’s bodily corruption, the loss of Sephiroth, and Lucrecia’s own degradation. We may not know the very order of every event until Rebirth or the third game, which is okay. These are still good details.
Tumblr media
This hurts so much and I do not even need to explain why, ahaha. Hojo is so, so cruel to his own family.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I have recently pulled a translation from this section which some of you may recognize. All of the small details make me emotional 🥲
Tumblr media
And this is the last one I wanted to share. I cannot stop thinking about Hojo’s inferiority complex with Gast because we know Sephiroth looked up to and admired Gast from a young age. How bitter Hojo must have been that his own son adored a man he hated. The implications of how complicated this could have made their relationship are endless. No wonder Hojo murdered Gast without hesitation. A walking mass of complexes indeed.
I think this is so emotional for me because of The First Soldier and Rebirth now. These details matter for enrichment.
Edit: I should once again clarify what I think about the 2005 Ultimania because there are fans that dismiss it thanks to its questionable text in spots. I believe that if a note from this book does not directly contradict currently established canon, then it may be safe to take in as context enrichment.
For example, all of the information about Sephiroth here is still accurate to the most recent depictions of his character, but there are small details added about why he believed he was different.
I do not see any reason to fully dismiss this because it does no harm to canon and does not go against what we have seen even in recent media like Ever Crisis.
On the other hand, the information about Lucrecia and when she left and why is much more fragile because Dirge of Cerberus added a new take on her motives. For this reason, I will only cherry-pick. I would say the detail about deterioration is accurate because that was hinted at in DOC but it’s no longer the only reason she left.
But everyone should make up their own minds on how to approach this Ultimania.

hi there. does your tav fall for Astarion or does he also play the con game?
He's aware of what's going on from the get-go. He does try his best not to fall for him.

gods strongest soldier I'm so sorry you got a popular post, my condolences
its not that bad bcos i muted it way back when it only had like 150 notes n i only found out bcos i logged in to a shitton of followers and someone atted me on it but like. genuinly baffled. its the middest unfunniest post in the world, not even making an attempt at observational humour its just observation, and ive SEEN the 'lol tumblr is sooooo random' edition thats been floating around and thats not funny either!!! i have so many awesome posts and this is the one thats on the verge of breaking 40k notes??? why is it always the shitty posts that go viral i wish this had happened to 'serving fish', my elevator pitch for a comedy movie abt a cishet man who has to dress in drag to join an oyster eating contest and dominate the competition (because oyster eating was recently mandated to be done only by nonbinary people). like it was a bad movie pitch but i still think about it on occasion which is more than i can say for that post

The world and the internet would become a better place if we banned algorithms. Like literally every new shit development is encouraged and born because of algorithms and humans urge to play algorithms for profit like all these things:
clickbait
content farming
content theft
rage culture and fear mongering (anger & fear gives more clicks -> more traffic -> more net worth)
echo chambers because algorithms only give you the content you want to see OR HATE which includes politics and conspiracy shit
conspiracy videos for fame and money
bought likes / traffic / ratings to push and hype specific content up
the mindset that you have to spend 24/7 on xitter hashtags to show support or even help with some RL issues (it rarely does anything but just wasting your time)
It's such an artificial distortion... how are we even okay with that?
Imagine if youtube would go back to not paying creators and removed video ads (that actually is how it started and how yt got fame when people just did what they wanted for fun and not for money). Not saying creators should not be paid but maybe not based on fakeable numbers but the oldschool way by their own fans and community. idk
Or if xitter and instagram would hide follower numbers and the whole sponsorship deals would stop.
Because in the end it's really just coming down to having enough followers and clicks on youtube to get paid and on instagram / xitter to get sponsorship deals from companies.
If these two things would stop. All the clickbait shit and trash content farming (which does make people stupid btw like 5 minutes craft was just the beginning of that) etc would stop too.

your birthday bear looks to be the same style as late 90s/early 2000s Commonwealth teddy bears. they came in many many different colors and patterns so it may be hard to find one of the same exact pattern but it could be a good keyword to start hunting
thank you so much for the feedback!! i have also been looking at mary meyer teds too, but searching through the commonwealth bears seems promising! ive found a few stuffies that look so so similar to my birthday bear, but none with spots yet! commonwealth bear 1 (this is the most similar one!) commonwealth bear 2 commonwealth puppy with a similar face
