I love dynamics where Zack is all familiar with the first class trio—like way before Genesis deserts. You’re really telling me this guy was all *animal crossing sfx* ???? about Genesis until he decided to pack his bindle and leave? Doesn’t this man have a… a FAN CLUB???
You know I kinda understand Genesis’s envy when looking at it at that angle—SOLDIER who’s been with the company for how many years has no idea he exists and prolly has like twelve Sephiroth fridge magnets that’s kinda sad now that I think abt it.
Anywho! It’s always just so incredibly sweet to me; Angeal one day brought the pupper home after he saw the potential in him and how he needs help tying his shoes and Zack’s all “OMG OMG OMG IT’S THE FIRST CLASSES WOW DO THEY SMELL GREAT!” and slowly he’s just assimilated into the friend group, all of the Firsts adopting these roles along the way—Angeal obv being the one to tell him to take his shoes off at the mat and make him chocobo nuggets and Genesis is the “I’ll give you thirty bucks if you go stand in the corner and be quiet” guy and Sephiroth is the one who hides Zack behind the drapes and tells Angeal that he hitchhiked to the Gold Saucer after Zack accidentally shattered some priceless vase in his mentor’s quarters.
So…. yeah! Thank you, fanon! You’ve done super well <33

Cloud never wanted these powers & when he hoped for a strong scary companion to fight by his side, he was in for a shocker when he got his former best friend instead...as a puppy.
Mini event thing over on discord where my theme was Magical boy/girl. I knew what needed to be done xD

I love how zack's entire character is like, "yeah he's just some dude." Like even his name is basic. He's so out of place and i love it.

Pup just got back from a lil con!!
I got to hang with some amazingggg fursuiters, and they let me play fetch with them..~ fr fr thinking of like. Even a pattial fursuit now. Be so fun!!! They were so sweet with pup~ ♡
But the real highlight was definitely sucking the fingers of a Sephiroth cosplayer and grinding on his thigh at the rave. Never gonna forget ♡ anyway! Pup had a great weekend!!!!

Does your Zack ever get to his true breaking point where everything is just too much to push away and he can't help but show his true vulnerability? And if so, what or who is the catalyst?
OMG I RRRRR I LOVED DRAWING 4 THIS ONE
OKAY SO. with the au, zack will reach a breaking point with the way he's handling his emotions by blocking them off/bottling them up. It's inevitable. The question of what/who is the catalyst and not when or if it happens hehehe AND IM SO EXCITED TO ANSWER.
Through out the au story, zack is stuck in this sorta mentality.
he's so reliant on Cloud being okay, that he can't focus on anything else (for reasons i can discuss another time). My instinctive reaction, it to think that Cloud waking up would give him enough emotional relief to let down some of those walls. But, then I thought that if Zack bases his emotional wellbeing so heavily on cloud...
then theres not going to be a point where Cloud is suddenly 'okay' enough in Zacks brain to let it out. Life has its ups and downs, recovery from physical/mental trauma like cloud went through especially has its ups and downs. Theres always going to be some excuse for Zack to close up even further, particularly since he chooses to be in a caretaker role for Clouds early recovery when he needs it.
So then my mind hopped over to Tifa and Barret, his two closest friends in this au. But I thought that also could only go so far, Zack wants to appear strong for the people he cares for, and in his mind, he's somehow 'tricked' Barret and Tifa into thinking he's stable and tough enough to be their friend, he doesn't want to risk suddenly being too much. (IMPOSTER SYNDROME GANG RISE UP) And since Zack is so numb to violence and battle, I think it'd take a lot to push him out of that even in physically violent scenarios (u could still try though. whump writers i am on ur side 4ever)
And not only that, but Tifa and Barret have only known Zack as he is now. They know that he's definitely a bit weird, but they don't know how far that goes, as this is the only version of Zack they've ever met.
BUT HE OBVIOUSLY will still have his own explosion. It's necessary, it's inevitable. Just look at that guy. So I thought, who else?
and who else could it be if not her?

The new FF7Rebirth Demo has me sobbing so hard right now and all it had to do was have Sephiroth call "Cloud" a puppy with THIS FACE.
I am not ready to see the full gameplay on the 29th I am not ready BECAUSE IT'S SO PAINFUL.
He was their puppy, the whole group's puppy, and he got along so well with Sephiroth, THEY WERE FRIENDS!
They got me good.

I realized I never posted this drawing here! This was my Christmas gift for Quinhwyvar, who writes absolutely amazing ZackSeph stories that will break your heart! If you have not read her stories, you should go over to her ao3 and show her some love (and if you’ve already read them... maybe it’s time for a re-read, just saying😉)
