Can I get #14 love confession drabble for Reno?
Hi! I'm really sorry that it took me so awfully long to finish this (and to upload something to this blog again, in the first place) and I hope you're still interested in this. I haven't written for FF7 in a while now, so every bit of feedback would be very much appreciated! <3
Prompt: Love confession #14: “I love you, okay? I love you.”
Crazy in love – Reno x gn!reader
“I just don’t understand why you have to be so reckless all the time,” you hissed as you poured an antiseptic over a cloth. The perfectly white fabric would soon be stained with your friend’s blood but in that moment, you really couldn’t care less about a stupid piece of fabric. “One day, you’ll get yourself into serious trouble and I don’t know if I’m willing to save your ass then.”
Reno grimaced at you, already opening his mouth to contradict you but instead, he only drew a sharp breath when the antiseptic came in contact with the deep cut on his chest. Then, with an impatient side glance and through gritted teeth, he said: “I never asked you to take care of me.”
You rolled your eyes. “Not explicitly,” you agreed, “but I think showing up on my doorstep while you’re covered in blood and injuries is pretty much the same thing – oh, could you hold still for a second?”
Reno had flinched away from your touch – or rather, the cloth in your hand – once again but this time, you firmly grabbed his shoulder to pull him closer to you, so that you could continue to clean the wound on his chest. It wasn’t as deep as you had thought initially but the sight of it still made you feel sick. And the knot in your stomach tightened even more when you saw the scars scattered across his torso, an obvious sign that he had been in this situation far too often already.
You gulped and forced yourself to focus on his injury again instead of getting worried about wounds that had long healed. Right now, it was more important to take care of the various cuts and bruises Reno had suffered today.
With your lips tightly pressed together, you continued to clean his wounds, bandaging the ones that needed it, before you got up to fetch some ice for a particularly painful looking bruise on his ribs.
“Here,” you said, pressing the ice bag against his skin as carefully as possible. “That should ease the pain a bit.”
Reno hissed when the ice came into contact with his bare skin but soon after, he let out a quiet sigh of relieve. A smile flashed over your face. “Better?”
“Much better,” he agreed. “Thank you.”
For a few moments, the two of you sat there in silence, dwelling on your own thoughts. Then, all of a sudden, you blurted out: “I just don’t understand why you always come to me when stuff like this happens. Don’t you have medical staff at Shinra? I’m sure they’d take better care of you than I ever could.”
Reno didn’t answer right away. In fact, he had asked himself that question more than once in the past but so far, he hadn’t been able to figure out an answer. After all, you were right; Shinra offered excellent medical treatment for their employees, and Tseng would probably prefer if he went to the trained medical staff instead of you but the truth was… well, the truth was that Reno felt much more comfortable with you. Although you were almost always mad when he showed up injured on your doorstep, you never made him feel like a burden. To the medical staff, he was just another patient, someone they sent away immediately after they had finished the treatment. But you… you always allowed him to stay for a little while longer every time, listening patiently when he needed to vent about the things that happened throughout the mission. 
Not even once you had made him feel like he wasn’t welcome in your home. And in a sense, he also craved your presence when he wasn’t feeling well, almost as if you could cure his injuries with just being by his side. Which was absolutely stupid, of course – he knew that. But still, it didn’t change the fact that he liked being around you. 
“I don’t know,” he eventually said when he realized that he hadn’t answered your question yet. “I guess it’s because you always take such good care of me.”
You rolled your eyes. “Can’t you be serious for once?”
“Hey, that wasn’t a joke,” Reno insisted and flashed a smile at you. “I like being around you. You’re funny and smart and you always treat me way better than I probably deserve.”
“That were a lot of compliments.”
He chuckled. “And I meant every single one. You’re amazing, (Y/N), you really are.”
You felt your face heat up at his words, quickly turning your head away to try and hide your embarrassment from him. Reno had never missed an opportunity to fluster you but this time, he had sounded a lot more genuine than usually, and you couldn’t deny that it made your heart beat a bit faster. “Reno…”
“I love you, okay?” he interrupted you and while he sounded a bit surprised as well, the tone of his voice was still so earnest that it sent a shiver down your spine. His gaze was soft as he grabbed your chin and gently turned your head towards him. “I love you,” he repeated. “I don’t know why it took me so long to realize it but it’s the truth. Please believe me.”
“You’re crazy,” you whispered, staring back at him with wide eyes. He grinned. “I know. I’m crazy in love.”
Thank you so much for reading! If you enjoyed it please consider reblogging and/or leaving a comment. I'd really appreciate the support! <3

Tattoos on Thighs
CONTENT WARNING: NSFW, Tattoos, Don't do this, guys. I wrote this is twenty minutes. (Female reader)
Not you getting his first name tattooed on the inside of your right thigh, way too close to where your panties end. But you're already halfway there so you decide to get his last name on the left thighs, because why the fuck not? It's just for him, anyway.
You can barely wait for him to come home, your thighs literally itching and burning to take a pic and send him, knowing he'd get a gigantic boner at work, having to hide from his colleagues. Then he'd call from the men's bathroom and that deep, sultry voice would whisper in your ear what a good girl you are and that you belong to him completely and entirely. That you're his.
But you wait until he comes home and you've both had dinner, and when you finally show him what you've done to your pretty thighs, he doesn't waste a moment. He goes absolutely feral, pushing your thighs up so he can read his name over and over again as he's fucking you into the mattress, bending you in half. You're cumming in no time, vision blacking out as he keeps ramming that one good spot inside of you. He can't keep it up long and pulls out to cum before you can moan that no, he shouldn't, he's already spilling his load onto the fresh tattoos, groaning that you're his, only his. Luckily, the second skin might just be enough to protect your tattoo from an infection.
GOJO SATORU, Geto Suguru, RYOMEN SUKUNA, TOJI FUSHIGURO, Sano Manjiro, Haitani Rindou, HAITANI RAN, Reno of the Turks

…so zack definitely wanted to use the light fixtures as a jungle gym right? Like he absolutely spent time staring at them and trying to convince himself not to do what he wants to do.
I like to imagine the scaffolding is there because drunk soldiers did exactly what Tifa was doing and they are significantly heavier than she is

I've seen a few Reno and female readers who accidentally marry. Can I see your take on it xx
The Morning After
You winced at an unwelcome solitary beam of daylight shining through the gap of the shabby hotel curtains. Resurrecting you from your stewed slumber you sluggishly sat upright, your hand rubbing at the splintering pain at your temples. The lingering taste of cheap booze and stale cigarettes lay heavy upon your taste buds. Peering at your hand you noticed an overbearing, cheap plastic ring one might find in a toy vending capsule. The oversized piece of garish plastic swung loosely around your ring finger. You grumbled to yourself thinking nothing of it, considering it to be another of Reno’s silly jokes.
The sheets rustled at your side, alerting you to another person in the bed. Still half asleep and unsure as to who it was, your initial reaction was that of dread and curiosity. As you pulled back the bedding, your reaction soon turned to shock as you found Reno sprawled out against the mattress, head sunken into the pillow, completely and utterly naked! The implausible discovery jolted you awake as you jumped out of the bed screaming. Reno woke with a start, shouting profanities, unaware as to what was happening. He immediately grabbed a lamp from upon the bedside table, flailing it around wildly in confusion.
“What the fuck?!” He rubbed at his sleep deprived eyes, slowly coming to his senses. “Wow girly, you got quite the pair of knockers on you!” He teased, staring at you with wide eyes and an obnoxiously goofy grin.
The realisation set in that you too were indeed very naked. In a quick frenzy you grabbed at the bed sheet, wrapping it around your body.
“Oh don’t even start! Cover yourself up would you!” You scolded, shielding your eyes. Although, hypocritically, you too could not help but secretly stare at his body.
He grabbed at his pillow from off the bed, holding it against his lower waist.
“This can’t be happening!” You moaned, holding your head in your hands. “What the hell happened last night?!”
“Well I remember there being booze, then more booze, followed by, oh you guessed it… booze! Then two rounds of tequila shots later… not a clue!” Reno replied wittily as he placed the lamp back down upon the table.
Observing around the room, you noticed how your clothes had been strewn to the most awkward of places. The fact that your bra was hanging precariously from the ceiling light fixture had you considerably more worried.
“Oh god… we didn’t?!?”
He gazed up at the bra, smirking to himself. “I doubt it… if we had, you’d be unable to stand right now.” He winked mischievously.
“Oh please!” You stated in exasperation. “Look can you take this seriously?! Think!”
“Fine… Jeez, you’re such a buzzkill.” He muttered.
With his free hand he scratched at his ruffled red tresses, pondering, deep in thought. At the front of his hair you noticed the cute upturn of a cowslick, no doubt the aftermath from sleeping awkwardly. For a few moments you both stood in silence desperately trying to recall the events of the night before.
“Well… Can you remember anything?” You urged.
“It’s kinda hard to think when my mouth tastes like ass… and not the good kind!”
“Urgh! You’re not helping at all!” You yelled in defeat. “I’m going to go freshen up and put some clothes on… I suggest that you do the same!” You retrieved what little you could find of your clothing taking them with you into the bathroom. (The unknown location of your underwear however would be a mystery for the ages!)
Reno groaned, holding his head as he battled a relentless headache. Thankfully the hunt for his boxers was plain and simple. He found them wrapped around his ankle. Pulling them up, he began to search the room for clues.
“What’s this?” He asked himself, picking up a disk labelled ‘Wallmarket Chapel’. “Must have been left behind from the last guests to stay in this room… what a bunch of chumps! Who would get hitched in a shithole like Wallmarket!”
Out of genuine interest he placed the disc into the DVD player. However the footage was enough to soon rid him of his smug grin. Upon his face was the look of absolute horror as he watched an incredibly drunken version of both you and himself tying the knot.
“Oh shit!” He panicked, desperately trying to turn off the TV by the remote, yet he failed in his attempt. “I can’t let Y/N see this.”
“See what?” You marched out of the bathroom overhearing Reno’s rowdiness. “Are you watching porn?!”
Reno stood in front of the screen, deliberately blocking it from your view. “Yeah… that’s exactly what I’m doing!” He lied.
“What the hell is going on? What are you hiding?” You asked angrily, pushing him to the side.
The expression of genuine horror plagued your face as you watched the ongoing footage of your Wallmarket wedding. The intoxicated slurs and celebratory yelling alone were enough to jog your clouded memory. You found that your antics from the night before came flooding back all at once…
——
“Cmon! One drink?” Reno coaxed.
“No!” You replied adamantly.
“One ain’t gonna kill ya! What’s the worst that can happen?”
“I said no!”
“C’mon you just got promoted! Now’s the time to be celebrating!” He cajoled, lifting his drink and sloshing it into the air. “Pweese… just for little old me?”
You narrowed your eyes at him, determined not to give in. However he always managed to find a way at changing your mind. You had known each other ever since you were kids so over the years Reno had memorised every tactic to win you over. The fact that you had developed a soft spot for him was also a major hinderance.
“Fine. But only one, that’s it!”
Famous last words! Of course, one turned into two, then two turned into three…
Hopping from one divebar to another, Wallmarket had much to offer in terms of nightlife entertainment. Your night began in Drunkards with a few quiet drinks. The Corneo Colosseum was your next pit stop where you competitively bet against each other on the fights. You then considered it to be a fun idea to sneak into The Honeybee Inn. That part of the night was where it got particularly hazy… but you could have sworn at one point Reno was wearing a dress. Later you remembered having a dance off at a nightclub. You could recall the blaring music along with lively groups of people cheering and flailing with excitement. Then, after being kicked out of a karaoke bar for being too noisy, boisterous and altogether tone deaf, you returned to Drunkards. By that point however, you were both finding it rather difficult to walk. You held onto each other as support but on more than one occasion you found yourself sprawled across the ground.
Back in Drunkards you both found a booth at the corner of the room. You slunk into the seat, struggling to keep your heavy eyes open. Your head nodded with exhaustion as you felt the effects of the alcohol send you into a stupor.
“I’ve got an idea!” Reno slurred. “Let’s play truth… or dare?”
“What are we teenagers?” You mumbled, rubbing at your eyes.
“If ya too chicken, then I totally get it!”
You would never let him win, no matter what! Stubborn and willing, you fought back at your tiredness.
“Alright Mr Cocky Bastard, you’re on!”
He placed his baton upon the table, spinning it wildly. A few stray, electrical sparks flew into the air before he clumsily stopped it.
“Whoops… forgot to put the safety on.” He chuckled.
“Shouldn’t we use a bottle instead?”
“And where’s the fun in that!”
He spun the baton again, tapping his hands upon the table in drunken excitement. The baton came to a steady stop, the front of it pointing directly at Reno.
“Truth or dare?” You asked.
“Dare!”
“I dare you to…” You observed the room as it seemed to sway in an alcohol fuelled haze. “lick that guys elbow!”
“That guy?” He gestured, with a soured look. “But he’s all greasy looking and old.”
“I only said to lick his elbow, not take him out to dinner and back to your apartment!”
“Yeah but… you never know… he might like that sort of thing!”
“What? Getting his elbow licked?” You giggled. “You gonna do the dare or not?!”
“Alright, I’m going…”
In all fairness Reno committed to the dare, staggering over to the old man and licking at his elbow. Your belly ached with laughter as you watched from a distance. The old man turned in his seat with a heavy frown. You half expected him to throw a punch as he hooked his arm around Reno’s waist.
“What type of services do you provide young man?” He inquired, winking and pursing his lips.
The terror-stricken look upon Reno’s face was priceless as he pulled away, dashing back towards the table. You chuckled manically to yourself, your eyes streaming with tears.
“I’m gonna pretend that never happened.” He shuddered. “Your turn now! Truth or dare?”
“I’ll choose dare.” You answered.
He rummaged through his jacket pocket, taking out a spherical capsule he had previously obtained from a vending machine. Opening up the capsule he presented you with an oversized plastic ring.
“I dare ya to marry me!”
“Piece of piss!” You replied as he placed the ring upon your finger.
——
You both sat at the edge of the bed continuing to watch the wedding footage. You swayed unsteadily at the alter, throwing confetti at each other like children competing for attention. However as dreadful as the whole situation was, you both managed to laugh and joke about it. Especially at the Don Corneo impersonator who would get in the way of the camera every opportunity he got. Finally as the wedding officiant announced that Reno could kiss his bride, you watched as he scooped you up into his arms, his eyes locked onto yours. The camera zoomed in for a close-up as your lips puckered ever so slightly and his face slowly leaned in… and then… he fell over, dropping you onto the floor.
“That’s enough… this is too painful to watch!” You jumped off the bed, ejecting the disc from the player.
“That was tragic.” He jested. “Kinda wanna find out what happens in the end though.”
There was a long pause.
“Soooo…”
The white noise from the television filled the silence. For once you felt an unknown awkwardness with him, fabricated from a mix of embarrassment and a slight hint of disappointment.
“What should we do about this?” You asked carefully.
“Y’know… I was thinking…” He scratched at the back of his neck uncomfortably.
“Don’t think too hard, you might strain yourself!” You joked, trying to alleviate the awkwardness.
“Har-fucking-har! No I was thinking perhaps well…” His eyes wandered around the room, unable to make contact with your own. Never before had you seen him hesitant. His cheeks blushed a rosey shade of red as he finished his sentence. “We could maybe… try it out? Kinda like a trial run.”
“Sounds good.” You replied.
“What? Really?!?”
“Yes really!”
“Okay, cool.” He looked away smiling to himself. “Does that mean I’ll get to see those perfect knockers again!?” He teased.
“Depends how good of a husband you are.”

I’ve had this sitting around for a few days so. 
Reno/Reader, vaguely titled “first aid”
fem reader only bc he says “ma’am” once
Tumblr media
“Why don’t you just use a Cure?”
It was almost routine by now. It happened at least once a week, although the frequency had begun to increase as of late. He would saunter into the office, pristine uniform marred with new stains or scorch marks, and perch himself on the edge of the desk. You’d tried ignoring him at first, but he always sat himself down right on top of your paperwork, so you had to acknowledge him eventually. No matter how much you wheedled or pleaded or— gods forbid— asked politely, Reno wouldn’t move until he got what he wanted.
He glanced up at you from underneath his bangs. The blood on his face was dry, a much darker red than his wild hair. A smile curled its way across his thin lips. The dried blood around his mouth cracked and began to flake off. “Those things are rationed, babe.”
You huffed and turned back to the desk drawers where your first aid kit was hidden. “I find it hard to believe they’d send a Turk to the receptionists for healing.”
Reno shrugged and didn’t respond. As you pulled your little box of supplies out, he tossed his head back and stared at the ceiling, his eyes tracing out faint patterns in the gray metal. Everything in Shinra was dull and gray, the ceiling blending with the walls and the floor and the windows— a vague part of him thought that the place looked better with splashes of blood on the steel floor. At least that was something interesting to look at.
The plastic first-aid box landed on the desk with a muffled thud. You stood out of your office chair and rolled your sleeves up as you examined your patient.
Reno was covered in blood. Most of it wasn’t his, although there was a thick trail of red that had dripped down from his nose and stained his mouth. His unruly hair had finally been tamed, but only because clumps of mud had stuck the strands to his scalp, the nape of his neck. His perfectly-tailored suit had practically been shredded; you never could tell if it was because he’d taken a hit, or if he was just that careless. Between the ribbons of his shirt, scrapes and bruises were beginning to blossom over his skin. He still had that stupid grin on his face.
When your eyes landed back on his face, Reno was grinning. “Like what’cha see?”
“I’d like it more if you weren’t bleeding on my paperwork,” you complained.
The two of you had grown used to this song and dance; as you dug through your supplies for the right bandages, Reno peeled himself out of his ruined shirt and jacket, tossing the fabric to the floor. You glanced back at him and cringed. Yes, his shoulders were nice— yes, his hips were gorgeous— but without that barrier of cloth in the way, his wounds were even angrier than you’d expected. There was no way he wasn’t still in pain.
“Alright,” you tore open the first of many antiseptic wipes, “no kicking this time.”
Reno hissed at the first stinging swipe across his arm; his body tensed up with the effort of not jerking away from you, your paperwork scrunching up as he balled his hands into fists. He still had enough of his voice to make another joke. “It’s not my fault I’ve got fantastic reflexes.”
You snorted as you dropped the now-red alcohol wipe into your trash bin. When you reached for another, Reno stiffened again; you paused, hand hovering above the paper packages in your first-aid kit. 
Reno turned his face away as he listened to you rustling through your medical supplies. It wasn’t like this was a new situation— he’d been a Turk for years at this point, and it just came with the territory. But this was the kind of thing that didn’t get easier with experience. Maybe that was why he’d started coming to you instead of the infirmary; if it had to happen anyway, he’d much rather it be you. At least you didn’t lecture him the way Tseng did. At least you were prettier to look at.
“Hold this.” Reno snapped back to attention at the sound of your voice. He turned just in time to catch the small package you’d tossed at him; it crinkled in his hands as he twisted it around to read the fine print. 
“It’s an ice pack,” you said, lips twitching into a lopsided smile, “since I’m sure your Blizzard materia is rationed too.”
He grinned back, although with the blood smeared across his face, it wasn’t very comforting to look at. Still, he busied himself with cracking the ice pack and pressing it to the worst of his bruises. While he was distracted, you tore open another antiseptic wipe and moved for another of the cuts in his skin.
The two of you fell quiet as you worked, the silence only broken by the occasional hiss from Reno when you applied too much pressure to his aching body. You pulled a washcloth out of your supplies; not wanting to leave an injured Turk alone in your office, you elected to pour your water bottle out onto the cloth instead of stepping to the nearest sink. 
One of your hands landed on Reno’s chin, still covered in dried blood that was most certainly his this time, and tilted his face upward. You could feel his bright eyes looking through you as if you were glass— something about his sharp gaze made your stomach flip. You brought your damp cloth up and finally began to wash the blood off his face.
Reno let his eyes slide closed. No matter how gentle you tried to be, there was always an edge to your movements, something rough and unpolished. He liked it— it was human, and he didn’t get to experience much of that anymore.
Your hands pulled away from his face, and he had to catch his whine in his throat.
“Couldn’t see this before,” you muttered, swiping your thumb at the corner of his mouth, “but that’s gonna need stitches.”
Reno rolled his eyes and moved to push himself off your desk. “Guess I’ve gotta report to the infirmary anyways,” he sighed. 
You shook your head and gently pushed on his chest, urging him to sit back down. Your other hand was busy in your first aid kit, fumbling blindly for the small suture kit you knew Shinra supplied everyone. “I can do those too. Sit down.”
When Reno smiled this time, all the blood washed away, it was much nicer to look at.
“Yes ma’am.”

I'm back with thoughts on my other 3 FF7 SIs and their thoughts on Seph
Crystalline (aka Reno's partner): has been working with Reeve for a long time, so knows Seph as well as Reeve would. Which I'm not totally sure what that means tbh but they would have a surface level understanding of the kind of person he is. Reno might also tell them stories about him tbh.
Arranged marriage au si: this one might actually have interacted with him more as they have a role that's like... publicity based. And I'm sure Shinra would want Seph to make public appearances or at their private charity balls or whatever so I'm sure they've actually spoken with him (though I imagine he usually rejects such requests outright sksbskhd). I wouldn't call them friends but they are on good terms.
Meow meow si...has nothing sksbskshd maybe they saw him in the lab but he would have just been another face so. Nothing smsbsjjshd

Now that Advent Children (Complete) is being released in theaters prior to FF7 Rebirth, and we know the events of that movie will remain canonically in line with the outcome of the Remake trilogy, I want to talk about some scenes that I find especially relevant to the upcoming title.
1. This one speaks for itself:
Tumblr media
No way we won’t be seeing every angle of this gorgeous scene in Rebirth, and the devs want us to be excited for it.
2. When Cloud has a Geostigma attack at the place where Zack died, in which he hears Sephiroth say the following:
“Don’t pretend you’re sad… Why tremble with anger that’s not even there? Face it, Cloud… all you are is an empty puppet.”
Tumblr media
Expect even more chilling lines from Sephiroth at the end of Rebirth.
3. When Cloud says to Aerith, “But… I let you die.”
Tumblr media
We already know when and where. But how? How is it going to come about this time? And why is he so convinced it’s his fault? Those are my burning questions.
4. When we hear Aerith’s voice say, “I never blamed you, not once. You came for me. That’s all that matters.”
Tumblr media
The words “I never blamed you” are in the past tense, one of many indications that Aerith’s consciousness has lived on in the Lifestream ever since her death. And just as Cloud came for her when she was being held at Shinra Tower in Remake, he’ll come for her again, even if he’s terrified of what he might do. Will the stakes be raised even higher this time?
5. When Cloud arrives on the scene during the attack on Edge and sees Denzel and Tifa in danger, he has mirroring visions of two tragedies in his past he couldn’t prevent: Zack charging in alone to his fateful stand against the Shinra army, and then this:
Tumblr media
OK, we get it, this is still happening, but again, what else is going to lead up to this moment?
6. There are too many fun moments with the OG FF7 crew—all of them alive and well—to count: Barret being loud and bold as always, Yuffie getting queasy after parachuting in, Cid running like an old man, Cait Sith riding on Red XIII, Vincent’s broody, cape-flipping flair; and, of course, Tifa, taking center stage with her steadfast courage and commitment to those she loves. Not to mention the warm-hearted slapstick duo of Reno and Rude (sadly, Reno’s JP VA passed away in 2020 and the role wasn’t recast so he won’t appear much in Rebirth, but Elena will probably pick up the slack). And the hilarious banter (“Lassie, shut yer gob!”) on the airship while Cloud fights Kadaj. Imagine how much more these characters will be fleshed out, how many new interactions we’ll get!
7. At the very end, when Cloud is reunited with family and friends and has found forgiveness and peace with himself, he not only hears but sees Aerith and Zack together, bidding him a final farewell before they disappear into the Lifestream.
Tumblr media
How are we to understand the conversations Cloud has with Aerith and Zack throughout the film? Are they really there together, or are they just in Cloud’s mind? If only Aerith, as a Cetra, can retain her consciousness in the Lifestream, how are she and Zack able to speak not only to Cloud but to each other, when they joke about Cloud being too big to adopt? I’m convinced Rebirth is leading up in some way to their reunion after death, and I can’t wait to see how it plays out.

You know what vaguely annoys me in FF7 canon? The fact that the Turks, supposedly people trained as spies and black ops agents, walk around with only a single weapon each? (or in Rude’s case, technically none unless you count his fists). You can’t tell me the Turks don’t walk around carrying a small arsenal under their clothes. I like to imagine that disarming them takes a while and they have hidden weapons stashed in pockets, strapped to their bodies etc. I dunno, it feels kind of wrong to rely only on one favoured weapon for people with jobs like the Turks. Also the whole ‘pulling weapons out of improbable places’ is always hilarious like that scene in Pirates of the Caribbean. (I mean yes, Reno seems to carry those little silver electric balls but so far he’s the only one I’ve noticed that carries more than one weapon...and yes, where DID they come from? Because they don’t seem to mess up the lines of his suit...so where was he keeping them?) Also, like...Tseng with a knife disguised as a pen just feels right. ‘Oh yeah, I work in admin. See? I have a pen. A pen for writing...but also stabbing’.

FF7 Characters' Taste in Music Headcanons: Part 2 (Non-playable Characters)
Sephiroth: Classical, if he's picking anything, though he finds it equal measures off-putting and relaxing, so it kind of just leaves him neutral. Also, the deeper he descended into madness, the more he developed a taste for metal.
President Shinra: Dad rock
Rufus: Hip hop. Thinks it makes him cool and rebellious. Imagines he could be the next Eminem.
Elena: Vaporwave and Scandinavian pop. Follows Eurovision every year.
Reno: Classic punk like The Clash, The Sex Pistols. Also ska and 90s rock like Pearl Jam and Foo Fighters.
Rude: Smooth jazz or reggae, depending on his mood.
Tseng: Instrumental world music
Elmyra: Folk and Celtic. A bit of bluegrass. Also listens to a lot of evening public radio shows.
Scarlet: Sexy high-end bar music. Basically the genre "Scarlet's Theme" is.
Palmer: Unironically listens to Kids Bop
Heidegger: Doesn't listen to music that much. Mostly listens to sports talk shows if he has anything on.
Hojo: Static/white noise/ambient if he feels like he must have something on. Sometimes puts on classical to further unnerve his specimens, big Clockwork Orange vibes. Incidentally, this is why Sephiroth listens to classical since it's the music he grew up with.

So like. We will see how ff7 remake continues on its version of canon. But for me and my old experience of ffvii and crisis core and dirge of cerberus, they left me shipping
Aerith/Tifa/Cloud/Zack (all 4 except like i think tifa and zack are maybe just friends)
Aerith/tifa/cloud (cause zack died ;-; )
Aerith/tifa (frankly i ship them more without cloud but if they want him they can have him)
Cloud/zack (crisis core cloud was adorably crushing, asked zack out for ramen and brought him home to mom, zack spent years hauling his ass trying to keep him safe, genuinely they Gotta be close thats just how it is)
Angeal/Genesis (crisis core childhood best friends to tragedy)
Cloud/barret (so maybe cloud doesnt crush on barret as hard as on aerith and tifa. But they can go on a date. Whether its as friends/frenemies/crushes is up to ones preference)
Tifa/cloud/barret (advent children era up for interpretation. Theyre raising kids together, clouds linked to So many poly ships why not include this)
Cloud/sephiroth (sure not strictly canon supportable. But if sephiroth's getting paired with anyone non-genesis, clouds a good choice. Sephiroths linked to him forever post ff7, and remake seph? Well abaolutely the Remake's canon compliant ship sephiroth/cloud are u fucking kidding me? Of course. The new games wont let me forget)
And of course the Mega Poly ship zack/aerith/tifa/sephiroth/cloud/barret (where zack and tifa are only friends, seph and tifa are possibly hostile, barret is romantic w cloud and anyone else its your choice)
And of course dirge of cerberus poly ship yuffie/vincent/reeve
(All of the above are full canon To Me ahshhd im sure theyre not maybe intended as such but to me? All thats canon compliant workable)
Optionally Connects to the Other big poly ship: yuffie/vincent/reeve (well dirge of cerberus was begging for this ship interpretation - optional, not sure yuffie/reeve would be together but they can both be with vincent. Then if you ship vincent and cloud, thats how this big poly ship connects! And if u think theres a chance sephiroth is Vincents kid instead of Hojos, altho remake implies its probably hojo whos the dad, then it gets a lil funny vincents dating cloud and so is sephiroth. Of course, vincent loved sephiroths mom so its funny regardless. Vincents an immortal so hes older than everyone anyway. Then well if you ship Cid and Vincent? Then its cid/vincent and reeve/vincent/yuffie and cloud/vincent to cloud/tifa/aerith/zack/sephiroth/barret (excluding certain members when dead) AND angeal/genesis/sephiroth AND if u ship reno with cloud or rude with tifa then u can link reno/rude to the main polycule, AND if u ship rufus/reno or rufus/cloud u can attach them to the main polycule, AND then there tseng who i ship with aerith (blame crisis core and their past) and u could theoretically ship aerith with reno (also turk watching her) or fuck it ship aerith/cissnei (turk watching her) or cissnei/zack (cissnei u could argue liked him) then theres elena and even if shes not dating anyone thw turks are basically a fucked up polycule anyway. And my point? My point is u can shove almost the entire main cast of ff7 into one mostly canon compliant polycule! Unfortunately... if u count vincent and lucrecia and hojo... that means u can also link evil awful slimebag hojo to this giant network slightly.
Zack/sephiroth (not strictly in my eyes but like. I did like them becoming almost friends until u know. Sephiroth got real sad and went off the rails)
Zack/aerith/sephiroth (strictly in a: once theyre all dead in the lifestream, of course zack and aerith would reunite, of course zack would wanna be warm to sephiroth old friend, and sephiroths 3 split selves from Advent Children wouldve clung to aerith so like i gotta imagine hed be on at least speaking terms with her if theyre all in the lifestream - not to mention i think in original ff7 aerith and sephiroth had a lot of parallels in what they emotionally were dealing with and it wouldve made for a good ship. Not like necessarily in line with canon but i think these 3 would have potential)

Lately, I've been really reading the FF7 timeline to copy it down for reference and I've found some *very* interesting details. Here's a list of stuff so far:
Bugenhagen is apparently born in 1877?? This means he's 130 years old in OG!!
Pres Shinra is born in 1940. Palmer is 3 years younger than him.
Hojo was born in 1945, making him around 35 when Sephiroth is born.
ShinRa was known as "ShinRa Manufacturing" before it was an electric company, and we apparently don't have a date for when it was founded but know it discovered Mako energy on September 23, 1959.
Heidegger is born in 1949, making him a year older than Vincent.
Both Vincent and Lucrecia are born in 1950.
Red XIII is born in 1959, which is apparently the same year the Gi attacked.
Grimoire dies ~1970, which means Lucrecia was around 20 when it happened. Can you imagine doing undergrad research trying to get ahead of the curve and you get your advisor killed by the equivalent of a minor deity cuz you wouldn't stop poking it? She wasn't even a grad student when it happened 😂
Barret and Reeve are the same age, having been born in 1972.
Cid is actually 3 years younger than both of them, having been born on Feb 22, 1975.
Construction on the Midgar plate starts in 1976, and ShinRa is known as an electric company by then, but we don't know when that actually changed.
Tseng, Rufus, and Rude are all the same age, having been born in 1977. SOLDIER is initiated in the same year to help bring an end to a long-running international war.
Oh, Jenova is also found in 1977, which means none of the trio can even be conceived until that year. The Jenova Project also starts up that year.
At some point between 1977 and 1982, Vincent is assigned to guard the scientists running Project S. Yeah, we have no concrete date for that.
Somewhere around 1980, the trio are all born. No actual birthdates for any of them.
Gast leaves Shinra in 1980, which means, that even if Sephiroth is born in late 1977, he literally never knew the guy. He apparently meets Ilfana at some point before 1985, but we have no date for that.
We also have no official date for Lucrecia going crazy and Vincent getting shot. Wiki says it's somewhere around 1984, which is fucking wild. Cuz it's stated that she goes crazy during pregnancy and Vincent confronts Hojo as a result of that, which gets him shot. And yet, Sephiroth is supposed to be born around 1980??? Which means there's no chance he was born that late? WHICH IS IT SQUARE???
Reno is born in '79, meaning he's conceivably older than Sephiroth??
We have no concrete date for Zack being born, just the "around 1984", except we know he's 16 in '00, which means he was born early '85 at the latest since he's canonically 2 years older than Cloud and CC starts in October of '00.
We have no idea how old Kunsel is! I usually place him as being born in '83 and a year older than Zack.
Aerith was born Feb 7, 1985 and Gast was killed 20 days later on Feb 27.
Cloud was born on August 11, 1986 and Tifa was born on May 3, 1987.
we have actual years for basically all the Tsviets being born and yet no date for Sephiroth.
Yuffie's mom is apparently named "Kasumi"??
The Wutai war begins "around" 1992, which means Sephiroth could conceivably be, at the youngest, like, 8 when it starts up and around 16 at the oldest. We also have no concrete date for when he gets deployed, but know he's apparently a 1st class already by then?
Tseng is also only, like, 15 when the war starts, which leads me to believe that he gets recruited by the Turks in the early days of the war. He's also a rookie Turk by 1997 when the whole thing that results in Kalm being bombed happens.
Cissnei is hailed as the youngest ever full Turk, and considering Tseng is one by the time he's 20, and Reno is one when he's late teens, she's gotta be as young or younger than Zack. I usually put her as being born in '85 and thus 15 when CC starts.
Before Crisis is fucking wild dudes. We have at least years for all the events and it gets the Turks involved in a huge number of events in the timeline.
Rufus isn't made VP until after Genesis deserts. Seriously. The mass desertion event happens in October of '00 and Rufus isn't VP until December.
The Wutai war ends in Feb of '01 and Avalanche starts being a problem almost instantly (hmmm, I wonder why?? It's almost like someone started giving the group funding to start up 🤔)
Cloud leaves Nibelheim somewhere between December of '00 (when he makes his promise to Tifa) and April of '01 (when he meets Zack on the Modeoheim mission).
Cloud successfully kills a RAVEN (an enhanced Avalanche soldier made by Fuhito, a cheap Hojo knock-off) with their own sword in June of '01 when he's 14.
Avalanche attacks the ShinRa building in June of '02 and apparently almost makes off with Hojo??
Avalanche learned of Aerith and actually try to kidnap her in August of '02.
Cloud, Zack, and Sephiroth arrive in Nibelheim on Sept 22 and are then there for a whole 9 days before Sephiroth snaps and burns the town to the ground on the 10th (October 1).
Marlene is born in late winter/early spring aka early '03, making her 4 at the time of OG.
Apparently, Avalanche and the Turks were involved in the failed Shinra No. 26 launch?? I actually refuse this specific thing as canon, but the failed launch happened on April 12 of '03. Cid is 28 at the time.
The Corel reactor is attacked on May 8, and the town is blamed for it and burned to the ground apparently the same day??
Red XIII is captured by Shinra on October 30 of '06. And apparently, Reno was one of the Turks who captured him??
Zack and Cloud escape the lab on Dec 18 of '06. It then takes him almost 3 months to make it to Gongaga (arrives in February).
Then, Zack doesn't make it to Banora until September?? And that's when he deals with Genesis. And then he's dead before the month is over.
An entire mess with a summon called Zirconiade happens in early October of '07, where Midgar is almost destroyed cuz Fuhito decided that killing all humans was the best way to save the planet and turns himself into the summon?? Idk BC is fucking wild. This marks the end of this incarnation of Avalanche.
Tifa also finds Cloud wandering the slums in October of '07 and then the reactor bombing doesn't happen until December. This gives us officially 2 months of time where his recovery was happening and zero details. I have fanfic ideas already.
It's incredibly funny to me that Avalanche as the Turks know it is done in October and then, 2 months later, another cell pops up and has the balls to bomb a reactor. Talk about the mother of all cockroaches.
Apparently, officially, OG takes place over around a month or so??
Edge is being built by the end of January '08 and the WRO is also founded very quickly. I don't know if I believe that, really.
Advent Children happens in '10, and we have very little knowledge about those 2 years other than some OVAs and light novels I think.
DoC happens in '11. The less said about that, the better.

In other news look. I adore so many ships in ff7. You have no idea. I have an armada. But Reno and Aerith have kind of grabbed me by the throat and won't let go. It is such a good vibe. Bodyguard falls for the girl he's looking after. Or I guess in this case more bad guy agent falls for his target. That is some good shit. I am in love with them being in love. It's a slow slap to his face cause he watched her grow up he didn't realize the slow creep up feelings because he didn't think of her that way for so long and by the time he realizes he's falling it's too late. Aerith realizing her own feelings. Whether she ever likes Zack or it's after he goes missing and she is at peace letting herself move on. Aus where Reno defects because hes in love with her and can't imagine ever turning her over. Refusing to do things for shinra because he doesn't want to disappoint her and because he knows he's growing as a person because of it. Loud brash and calculated killer Reno going soft for Aerith. Who's just as brash and stubborn when she wants to be.
I love them so much. It is such a good ship trope and you can't stop me.
