I imagine Veld finding out Tseng and Rufus are an item would just be a very

Veld, gritting his teeth and remembering how Rufus tried to sabotage the company and make hell for his department: if he makes you happy son

FFVII prompt:

Veld was always told Turk partners are like a marriage contract: til death do us part, in sickness and health.

Vincent was Veld’s partner. Vincent has been MIA for twenty years, assumed dead.

While looking into another case, Veld comes across one of Hojo’s notes about Vincent.

Veld decides wasn’t ready for a divorce, even if he has to drag Vincent back kicking and screaming, with Chaos (and all three other demons) as his witness.

Vincent’s headmates are more than happy to kick back and be a witness to the hilarity that ensues.

Super Unlikely Option #3954608346: The guy in the hood is Veld. Facial hair color matches. Chin shape matches. Mouth shape matches. Cloak is a little dramatic for what we know of his character, but it's not impossible. His daughter wore a white one for a while...

Also a plausible option, though I think there would have to be a LOT of lore-dumping to refresh the player of Veld.

It's gotta be Reeve. It's the only thing that makes sense.

Director Veld once snapped at a SOLDIER, "Get the hell out of my office!" while in Lazard's office.

Lazard went along with it, partly out of professional courtesy, partly out of personal amusement, and partly in the hope that Veld would do the same for him.

A favorite hc of mine is that Veld had a fake plant in his office and after Veld got out of there Tseng thought it was real for at least a week. He took good care of it, before realizing Veld would never bring an actual plant within a multiple mile radius of the Turk base.

*at Veld's funeral*

Tseng: *places his hand on the headstone and sobs*

Tseng: How could you do this to me? We are so understaffed.

I love when folks ask me Fandom Old questions and I get to be like "Yeah, uh, that's from my old online RP group, no it's not canon at all, yes we just made it up, no we did not claim it was canon but the mid to late aughts were a strange time."

It's honestly a shock to realize how often this has happened. I mentioned earlier that Reno's fanon surname came from this same group, but that's not even the half of it. I once made a bunch of screenshot manips based on the most ridiculous ships anyone could think of—someone slapped a random line of text onto one of them and to this day it's used as a "cringe FF7 fandom" meme. I saw it on the twits a bit back and almost fell out of my goddamn chair.

If you've ever heard Scarlet referred to with the surname "West," read about Tseng fighting with metal fans, seen Elena's older sister being called Anna instead of Emma, come across Vincent portrayed as having a PhD in spite of being a Turk, or caught references somewhere to Grimoire experimenting on Vincent as a child, that started with this group. That was us.

One of the funniest examples of this, for me specifically, is that we don't actually know which arm Veld is missing? The fandom generally goes with his left because that's how I drew him in the first picture of the guy ever posted on devart way back in 2005, but it may very well be his right. I've seen people offer "proof" that it's his right based on a scene in the opening cutscene, but you can't tell there either, and with BC's graphics there's literally no way to tell on his sprite.

Hell, this year we found out everyone's assumed timeline of the Kalm fire is wrong, and that's our fault too because we made some assumptions about Felicia's age for an LJ RP that were entirely wrong. She's around Zack's age, not Sephiroth's! She's old enough to run with a terrorist group in BC, but she was a child when Kalm burned, and that happened in 1997—we know this because NPCs in Rebirth literally refer to the fire in Kalm having happened "just ten years ago." Veld has only had his prosthetic for three years when BC starts. (This also implies that, contrary to popular belief, Veld may actually be younger than Vincent. Vincent may have been the senior partner, and that's why he was sent to Nibelheim alone while Veld was left at headquarters.)

We were really wrong on this! But we were working with what we had. There's no canon evidence for the vast majority of these things (the most notable exclusion here is Vincent being educated) but we weren't claiming there was. We were filling gaps, and canon was so sparse that we had a lot of gaps to fill. So if it turns out that Veld lost his right arm, then I'll just have to start drawing him that way—because losing his left was never canon.

Tragically, there's nothing any of us can do to make people stop assuming these things are canon at this point; there aren't a lot of us still in the fandom, and it's not like any of us have those old chatlogs anymore. People from this RP group have DIED since those days. It's been over 20 years since most of us met, and around 15 since most of us were in a public fannish space together.

"Prove it," people say, and I literally can't. Do you know how many computers I've been through since then? 75% of the platforms we used no longer exist. This all started on a BBCode forum! There is no proof!

But...there's no evidence any of these things are canon, either, so maybe think about that? The Kalm fire, Tseng's weapon of choice, Veld's arm, character surnames—none of these are retcons because there was no lore there to retcon. We made it up for our specific purposes, and it escaped containment in an era when there was really no way to do online contact tracing.

It's just one of the weirdest feelings in the world to see younger folk arguing about A or B point in canon, about X or Y retcon—referencing something my friends and I thought up at like 10 o'clock at night on a now-defunct IM client in August of 2005, because we needed something to refer back to for a specific scene in an RP and the source material had nothing to offer.

Absolutely fucking bonkers.

I don’t think I’ll ever quite be over the fact that many important events in the FFVII universe are driven almost entirely by love shared between characters

The games make such a point to hammer home the idea that loyalty born out of genuine caring is what strengthens bonds and allows characters to succeed or at least to make it further in the story than they would have otherwise

The Turks, (barely) loyal to Shinra until one of their own is threatened

Angeal following Genesis to the ends of the planet

Zack protecting Cloud and keeping them both safe when they’re on the run from Shinra (even though the smart thing to do would have been to abandon the catatonic one)

Team Avalanche lifting each other up when each and every character is some form of broken and does not think they could be mended

The party searching for Vincent when he’s hell bent upon being alone because he considers himself a monster and genuinely has no skill in processing the tragedies that befell him

I think it’s largely what makes the story so compelling— the fact that we have these characters with such human interactions that are so full of genuine care and emotion that we cannot help but fall into their world and root for them to win
