Tumblr media
Zack's interactions with Marlene in Rebirth merely reaffirmed my headcanon that Zack would have been an absolutely wonderful father if he'd only gotten the chance. Him and Aerith would have made such a beautiful family together... 🥹

Who has the biggest social media following?
I think Sephiroth would either post every thought he has or he would post once every lunar month.
Genesis would have the highest quality camera, knowledge of all social media sites and plus being a queer.
Angeal could be an online dad who mostly posts/reblogs cute animals.
Lazard is legally obligated to have social media and post, he makes it well known to all.
Zack posts every 5 seconds and most of the time it is complaints or vague posts that scare Lazard.
Rufus has been a social media presence since he was five and he has dirt on all the most famous people.
Idk about Cloud.
• Sephiroth has the larger following, but he also has maybe 20 photos in total on his social media, and only one of those is of himself (a picturesque photo Angeal took of him in the mountains. Sephiroth posted it, thanking Angeal and complimenting his photography skills in the caption, but it quickly broke the internet and is one of the most liked images ever. He posts once every few months and it's usually obscure and done so only because PR nags him about his social media presence.
A photo of his food at a restaurant, a photo of his sword perched against the wall of his office, a box of chocolates with his face on it (a partnership Shinra did with a famous chocolate company that Sephiroth found amusing), a photo of a book he likes, several nature snapshots, a cat he saw in an alleyway and stopped to pet, and what was his favorite picture—a nice photo of him, Angeal and Genesis together that Lazard took. PR took it down because Genesis was throwing gang signs (he didn't know Sephiroth was going to post it)
Oh yeah, there was one other photo that had to be taken down.
*Lazard bursts into Sephiroth's office*
Lazard: I TOLD YOU TO POST A PICTURE OF YOURSELF WITH PRESIDENT SHINRA.
Sephiroth: I did.
*Lazard pulls up a picture of Sephiroth with the half-cropped out President Shinra*
Lazard: THIS ISN'T WHAT I MEANT.
Sephiroth: God I look stunning.
• Genesis is a close second in terms of following, a fact that will forever irk him—even though he acts like it doesn't bother him. He's very dedicated to his curated, themed social media feed filled with action shots of him in battle, photo ops of him attending events and plays, magazine cover shoots, countless book recommendations and walls of text where he's waxing poetic about Loveless. At a glance, one would think Genesis's life is effortlessly perfect, and that's exactly what he wants people to think.
But who needs reality checks when you're best friends with Sephiroth.
*Genesis posts a perfect mirror selfie alongside Sephiroth and Angeal, he captions it "We seek it thus"*
SephirothOfficial commented: He cried when he couldn't get the lighting right.
• Angeal is somewhere in the middle, and he's relatively normal about what he posts, preferring to showcase what his real life looks like. There's pictures of him with the Seconds, Thirds and select infantrymen he's befriended. He also posts his cooking proudly, and always makes sure to add the recipe in the caption of the photo. He even posts some post-workout photos of himself that garner a lot of attention. He posts proud pictures of his plants, and picturesque nature scenes from his missions. Angeal's social media is where you'll find lighthearted photos of his friends, as well as a heap of sillyness that has PR ripping their hair out every other week. But his ultimate sin is being the friend who has to take a photo of everyone's food before they eat.
*At the restaurant, Zack is slowly rocking back and forth*
Zack: I'm having unfriendly thoughts.
Sephiroth: Can we please eat now?
Angeal: In a bit. Let me just adjust take one quick picture of Gen's soup...and.....done!
Zack: THE GODS HAVE ANSWERED MY PRAYERS
Genesis: They all look a bit blurry.
Angeal: You're right. Let me start over.
*Zack starts sobbing*

pd. today I got the news I'm gonna be an auntie so having this on my drafts gave me motivation to write
How would lookism men react to reader being pregnant, headcanons
featuring: Jake, Daniel, Vasco, Zack and Vin Jin
Jake
he's the proudest, even tho he's actually a bit afraid
when you told him, he was at first shocked
you showed him a picture
"what is that? an ear?"
"dumbass look at the message, can't you see it's an embryo?"
2 weeks pregnant
he got silent then started crying
he promised you he's gonna be the best for both you and your child
"so after so many kicks and fights my team still works"
Daniel
when he found out you were sick, he immediately took you to the hospital
then the doctor told you both that you were pregnant
he got so happy, it was when he called his mom that he started crying out of pure joy
he would have his hands on your stomach all the time
Vasco
you couldn't hold your laugh at your unawared husband, he was next to you on the couch with a confused smile
"I got you a mug"
"oh! that was the present... thank you darling! "
"world's best dad?"
"world's best dad..."
"world's best dad! I'm the dad?"
"yes you are"
next thing you were on his arms, he covered you in kisses and cried of joy
"we're gonna have a baby"
Zack
Zack was waiting for you for a date
"babe, are you constipated? you're taking forever, should I go buy you medicine?"
you sighted and took a last look at the pregnancy test, positive
"Zack can we talk?"
"shit, it was Johan's fault I promise!"
"no..." you opened the door "I mean..."
Zack took a look at the test
"oh, this definitely is not Johan's fault"
you held your laugh and Zack hurried to hug you
"were gonna be the best parents ever, I love you"
Vin Jin
he was concentrated in writing, it doesn't care if he is a rapper or not, writing helped him to concentrate an clear his thoughts
"this looks cool" you took a look from behind him
he hummed and kept staring at the paper
"why don't you write one for your baby?"
"I already have lots dedicated to you"
you laughed, "not me, our baby"
he got quiet, and slowly moved towards you
"you mean..."
"I'm pregnant"
Vin sat you on his lap and hugged you
"write something for our baby, that sounds good"

Au where, instead of Degrading and deserting, Genesis goes poking around the Labs after his injections and finds three silver haired toddlers.
At first he is disgusted by their existence, because it’s clear they made from Sephiroth’s DNA. But then he pokes his nose in even further, reading file after file. He feels sick as he reads how Loz was a the first born from Hojo and Hollander grudgingly working with both Sephiroth and Angeals DNA. He positively throws up when he Reads Kadaj’s file and finds himself staring into the little boys face only to see himself at that age staring back.
Yazoo is a mix of sephiroth and someone labeled as “specimen I”. That one Genesis doesn’t know, but as he looks over the youngest -barely a toddler, still a baby really - he sees that old traumatised look that Seph used to carry around with him.
… so Genesis does what any insane and irrational Soldier who’s just found out he’s a dad would.
He kidnaps the kids.
The way he deserts is instead by spiriting three little kids out to the middle of nowhere Wutai and sending covert word to Sephiroth and Angeal -only when he’s sure they are away from the shinra building. He spends weeks simply having a mini breakdown over parenting, while also doing the best that he can. It’s hard and at times he’s pretty sure he’s gone insane from the fact that Kadaj has a capital A attitude.
Loz cries constantly. It’s a never ending stream of abandonment issues and cuddles with that kid. Yazoo stares at things that aren’t there, and when he’s not doing that he rejects most formula and screaming in hunger. It’s hell.
When Angeal and Sephiroth turn up they do so with the second class puppy Zack Fair, the bucket head know it all Kunsel Zelda, and a tiny little infantryman named Cloud who is surprisingly good with kids.
Sephiroth takes the news of the children’s existence hard but better than Genesis thought he would. He only walks out for about 20 minutes before he comes back in and sits in the corner with the files. He doesn’t really engage with his three children yet but Genesis expected actual bloodshed, so… he’ll take it.
Angeal -for his part- immediately picks up Loz, who is more then happy to be cuddled and just sits down with his son, getting to know his little face and how hard his little hands can grip. He talks to him quietly and after a while, with Loz still parked on his hip he goes to say a soft hello to Yazoo who’s fussing in his cot.
Kadaj -ever Genesis’ son (someone remind him to send a flower basket to his childhood nanny’s) - is not pleased with being ignored. He is getting grouchy and throwing his teething toys around, and Genesis is about to go over and intervene when the young infantryman kneels down in front of the child.
He hands the toy back to Kadaj who seems to be captured by the man’s big blue eyes. Thus begins Kadaj’s life long obsession with his uncle Cloud, who must give him (and only him) attention at all times…
Honestly Genesis should have known. It’s HIS son.
Eventually Sephiroth looks up when Yazoo starts to cry properly. Genesis is immediately at the crib with the latest formula in a long list of attempts. He rocks Yazoo and tries to get him to settle. The milk stays down this time but Yazoo still can’t be consoled. Everyone is very shocked by how Calm Genesis seems to be about it. He’s only muttering the occasional “please baby this is irrational!” And a “if I go insane I’m taking the thereby bill out of your collage fund kiddo.”
That’s when Sephiroth comes up behind him and pets the babies hair over Gens shoulder. Yazoo quiets almost immediately and Gens too relieved to be irritated or jealous (though it’s Genesis so expect it in the future.). He simply hands Yazoo over gently and goes to collapse on the sofa next to Zack the puppy who’s helping Cloud and Kunsel entertain a very smug looking Kadaj.
“Your a little attention whore…” Gen mutters to him, gently pinching the babies cheek.
“Pot meet kettle,” Angeal laughs shakily and Gen tsks.
For the next few months they fall into a silent routine. While the Babies like being fussed over by these new dads and uncles, they still cling to Genesis as their main caregiver. A few times Genesis has to legitimately barricade himself into the bathroom just to get some peace in this suddenly very busy house.
Angeal seems to recognise this and often takes over, while Sephiroth is still too unsure to do much more than feed Yazoo and lay with him. It makes a difference though. Truly.
Zack is the entertainment guy. He can make them all giggle themselves stupid with a funny look. Kunsel seems to be taking their education very seriously. And Cloud seems to think it’s important that they know about the outside world; showing them plants and animals and helping Angeal teach them about growing food and lifecycles.
Genesis never wanted to be a dad. He never had the desire. But being those three tiny tyrants father is possibly the best thing he could have asked for. He may not ever know that he is the worlds saviour, but he is certainly okay being his children’s hero.

drabbling about multiple lookism characters as a dad
Tumblr media
pov: spending time together and activities between your toddler and him, changing his/her diaper
character(s) included: multiple; Daniel Park, Vasco, Zack Lee, Warren Chae, Jace Park, Jake Kim, Sinu Han, Jay Hong, Eli Jang, Kwak Brothers, Johan Seong, Gun Park, Logan Lee, Samuel Seo, Goo Kim, Vin Jin, Cheon Taejin, Yujin Yoo, Baek Hangyeol, DG
cw: some LOOKISM SPOILERS, my opinion, purposely repeated some characters, lowkey messy 😭
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
unwrapped on: Saturday Night, August 19 2023
wrapped up on: Sunday Afternoon, August 20 2023
published on: Sunday Afternoon, August 20 2023 (at around 4 PM)
Tumblr media
time spent together + activities
Is more than PERFECT when it comes to spending time with your guys’ toddler. He has the most simple yet enjoyable ideas for activities that he spends time on preparing for the family. Practically inseparable from your guys’ toddler, he just can’t ever get enough. Managing time is his thing, he always makes sure he won’t be gone for too long so that his kid wouldn’t have to miss him. Isn’t usually the type to do so for no valid reason, but once he fell in love, he quickly got accustomed to this kind of “curfew.” One time, he said he was just going on a walk, but came back with a huge lego set & spent the entire night assembling it along with your guys’ toddler.
Daniel Park, VASCO, Zack Lee, Warren Chae, Jace Park, Jake Kim, Sinu Han, Kwak Jichang ( He has 2 lil brothers so I do feel like he is quite experienced), JAY HONG (Makes SURE that toddler won’t go through what he did), (& maybe Eli Jang if he wasn’t doing yk)
Is GENUINELY trying his best, but is quite clueless the more you think about it. He doesn’t really have much experience but is learning more & more throughout your toddler’s growth. He’s doing everything he can to ensure you & the toddler are happy. He be doing that good research across reliable and good sites online. Likes to teach your guys’ toddler lessons and skills. This guy is definitely the type to make sure you’re toddler has many skills despite his age. They spend a good amount of time with the family and the best activities they can offer is playing with your kid, whether there’s a good lesson involved or they’re just spending time with one another.
Kwak Jibeom, Kwak Jihan, Johan Seong
Is beyond QUESTIONABLE when it comes to just spending time your guys’ toddler. He isn’t sure what the hell he’s even supposed to do with the weird looking kid. Activities? What activities? He’ll be back home at any time of day he’d like, or not, one or the other. Doesn’t even understand how the hell he got to be a dad in the first place. He is the father, you’re both sure of it, but he is no figure. 💀💀 He’s a lost cause, and he wasn’t planning on starting a family any time soon. Well, your both still young and he’s got other shit planned, which is also why he only sees them as little gremlins that needs to stay as far away as possible from him. Maybe, just MAYBE, with time, he’ll grow closer to your little family and improve.
GUN PARK, Logan Lee💀, Johan Seong ( sorry but hes just a baby himself 😇 ), Samuel Seo, Goo Kim (i love him, but this mf is not gon settle🔥not rn at least), Vin Jin, Cheon Taejin, Yujin Yoo, Baek Hangyeol, DG, a lot of lookism characters actually🔥
Tumblr media
diaper changing
He literally offered to be the FIRST to ever change your kid’s diaper. They were pretty hesitant to actually do it at first, but they did some researching in advance so that they could nail it and impress you. You guys usually alternate, and he’s already become an expert at changing diapers.
Daniel Park, Kwak Jichang, Eli Jang ( only bc hes had Yenna )
He would love to help you or to even learn, and he has tried by watching from afar. But by merely watching, he already thinks he should stay away from doing this the best he possibly can do so. You got him to help you out once— PURPOSELY leaves or makes some lame excuse just to get out of doing it ever since.
Kwak Jihan, Goo Kim, Jace Park, Warren Chae, Zack Lee, DG, Johan Seong
He really wants to be a big help, which is why he keeps trying again and again. Carefully watches how you learned to do it and tries his very best to do the EXACT thing you taught him. Sadly, he keeps failing or just straight up making an even bigger mess. Despite this, he keeps trying his best to help in doing so.
Vasco, Kwak Jibeom, Warren Chae, Sinu Han, Jake Kim, all of big deal ngl, Jay Hong, Johan Seong (?)
Help? What Help? There is NO way this man would agree to do such a thing or worse, volunteer to do so😹😹There’s gotta be something so extremely special about you and your kid for him to even consider it 😭 But other than that, this man will not be changing a single diaper, their ego is too high for that 🤗
Gun Park, Logan Lee, Samuel Seo, Goo Kim, Vin Jin, DG (theres no f ing way💯), Cheon Taejin (this man may be hot but he can’t even dress himself 💀), Yujin Yoo (he might try to get Mandeok to do it but I don’t think he gon be able to even do it some what properly considering the size of his hands💀)
Why do i feel like this LUNATIC would actually do it? Tbh I think he’d kill y’all’s kid and experiment on it cs hes psychotic
BAEK HANGYEOL.

Welp...FF7 Rebirth came out and ummm....I have this ship with an OC called Raven and I put her with Sephiroth...Ravenroth??? Idk
I'm debating on what prompt to do them with but we'll see with the actual story. This may also tie into a painting I did~
(they also have a kid named Mercury, he's a sweetie and I made Sephiroth a sister named Seri...yay) (Mercury is not in this story but Seri is!)
Without further adoooo let's get started.
May I Have This Dance?
Rating/Warning: minimal stuff but also AWWWWW
★★★★★
Ever since I can remember, I've always been by his side. Sephiroth. The Golden Child of SOLDIER. Ever since we were young we'd be teamed up together. He was there when my father died in that freak accident. There i remained in SOLDIER. Even as a First Class rank I didn't care much for the formalities or the perks of being this popular. I always thought myself a medic and only that.
Genesis or Angeal will always tease us as teenagers. Teasing about dating, who would win in a fight, best aim, you name it. As the years passed by, I found myself trying to answer why. It had been years since Genesis and Angeal disappeared and I still hear their voices egging me on. I had things, priorities, to attend to, especially one that was his very sister, Seri.
"Raven!!! What do you mean you're not coming to the company ball?! Everyone will be there!" Seri whined as I checked her vitals on the screen and took some tests.
"I told you Seri, I have my duties to the hospital and you. Sephiroth will have a conniption, you know he doesn't dance anyways" I replied.
"well I'm going with Zack! He invited me in Aerith's place because of her circumstances! She insisted!" She fussed as she crossed her arms.
"Oh are you? Then I guess I have no choice~" I rolled my eyes playfully as I gave her medicine and a change of clothes from her closet and helped her put them on.
"Yay! Dress shopping!!!" Seri squealed. I helped her onto her wheelchair and we walked to the elevator to get to the bottom floor.
We walked along the streets of Midgar to a dress shop nearby. I was never really into girly stuff even as a kid. The only girly thing I wear is earrings bc my face still says masculine. I guess looking more like my father was half of a good thing. I'm glad I developed nicely up top and got ass for days. My dad would try and get me to wear hair berets or make up to make me look more feminine but I was a part of SOLDIER. I couldn't/it would run or snag in the field.
Seri and I walked through all the clothing racks. Seri picked out a few dresses her size. She kept on pointing to other dresses that might look good on me but none were speaking to me. Seri started scanning the whole store. I know those eyes too well, just like her brother's, always on target and ready to pounce. Then she grabbed a dark colored dress and snuck it under her picks, thinking she was sneaky. I only caught a glimpse of the color but not the style. I was worried but not in a scared way.
As we made our way to the changing rooms, she picked out a cute pink dress because she told me Aerith liked pink and wanted to respect her favorite color. Seri really has grown fond of both Zack and Aerith these past few years. I've never seen her this excited unless it was Sephiroth coming home to take her to a fancy dinner and toy shopping. She's 7 years younger than him yet they're both a spitting image of each other. They definitely are siblings.
I remember the day my father showed us her, so small and frail. It was devastating to see her health decline when she reached 10 years. My dad did so much for her, even as he got up in age, he was like a father to her. His death put a toll on all of us, I stayed with Shinra because I had nowhere else to go. That's when I became on call for SOLDIER and mostly full time at the Hospital. I made a promise to my dad and myself.
Seri showed off her dresses and then from underneath she revealed the dress she swiped for me. It was a long sleek slender gown with a slit up the leg that stops at the thigh and has one strap. It was a dark blue with shimmers.
"oh no...that's no me..." I deflected.
"Come on Raven just try it on! You never wear dresses so how can you know?!" Seri pouts and shoved the dress and shoved me into the changing room, "imma go find ya shoes! Be right back!" With those parting words she wheeled herself away and I was alone. In the changing room. With a floor to ceiling mirror...
I placed the dress over me to get a feel then I started to undress from my uniform into this dress. Once it was on I saw myself. My figure helped but I had muscle. Was that sexy? Appealing? I even posed with my leg out the slit.
"Raven! I'm back with shoes!" Seri snapped me out my thoughts and shoved the shoe box under the door. I looked inside. They were black high heels...
"You sure about this Seri?" I called out.
"trust me!!!" Seri giggled.
I gulped and tried on the shoes. I looked at myself again and was amazed. Everything...matched me... Was Seri some kind of fashion genius? Maybe those fashion magazines around the hospital didn't help.
"come on out I wanna seeeeee!!!" Seri whined and scooted her wheelchair back.
I opened the door and revealed myself. The look on Seri's face said it all. She looked like she saw an angel.
"you look...amazing!!!!" She took a picture with her phone. "Sephi will FLIP when he sees you in this dress!!!"
"you think so?" I blushed.
"I know so! And with your silver earrings to match him it'll be perfect!!! Zack is already matching me with a pink tie already. He is not scared of pink!" Seri laughed.
I smiled, "then I'll get this dress. And maybe a necklace for both of us"
I quickly got unchanged and went to go pick out some necklaces. I got matching silver bang necklaces for us. I paid for the shopping spree and we headed on home to the apartment. Only god knows what will happen tonight...
---------------
The ballroom of the venue was packed with higher ups and other important people. I adjusted my dress. My hair and make up fixed up to match my dress. I touched my necklace and took a deep breath and walked into the venue. Seri already left earlier with Sephiroth for the venue. She was adamant Sephiroth doesn't see me get dressed in my pretty gown. My heels clicked along the floor as my presence started to turn heads and unwanted whispers. Why am I so nervous?
Then I saw Seri and Zack talking it up in the SOLDIER section of the venue with our names on the tables on the outside of the dancefloor.
"well look who decided to show up!!" Zack chuckled, "you look pretty good in a dress and is that a clutch?!"
"yes Zack...and you look stunning in that suit. Really brings out your eyes" I teased. Zack's cheeks turned pink. "And your cheeks~"
Seri chuckled, "he at least has some good dance moves."
"Seri where is your brother?" I asked.
"over there next to the corporates and higher ups. He's been sipping champagne for an hour with them..." She pointed.
I rolled my eyes and walked over to them. The drunken fools started whistling at my appearance. I deflected their looks and focused on Sephiroth.
"Look who finally decided to wear make up after so long" Sephiroth commented as he left the drunken old men to come to me.
"you don't look half bad yourself" I adjusted his blue tie. I knew Seri would make him match me.
"Shall we go out to the balcony? Away from these fools and noise?" He suggested. I gladly accepted and we walked outside.
"I'm so used to the sound of the battlefield and hospital. Yet I always get nervous around other people." I chuckled. "At least Seri and Zack are having a great time."
Sephiroth chuckled and held Raven close, "who says we can't have our own fun out here? May I have this dance?"
I blushed and smiled, "you may" he soon pulled me in and we began slow dancing on the balcony to the muffled music of the ballroom. The moon shines full and bright above us.
We swayed back and forth and he spun me a few times. I knew he wasn't much for dancing but he learned to cheer me up when we were teenagers. He knew my father loved to dance with me. Even Genesis and Angeal got on the bandwagon. They were all my best friends. Well now I only have Sephiroth. Ever since we were young we were glued to the hip, even in battle we had each other's backs.
My heart started pounding faster at the thought of feelings for Sephiroth. Are we allowed? I'm not in SOLDIER anymore by default but I work with Seri now so it might be?
"you're making that face again~" Sephiroth spoke softly and snapped me out of my thoughts.
"what face?"
"the cute face you make when you're deep in thought or worried." Sephiroth smirked. Cute? Cute?!
"oh...sorry..." I chuckled embarrassingly.
"don't be sorry, I like it, besides you're beautiful tonight. Seri picked out a nice dress" he placed a hand on my hip, trailing his fingers against my exposed back, "and don't worry about the muscles, I like that about you, you're not dainty or fragile like Seri. Strong and stubborn."
I wrapped my arms around his neck, "you think so?"
"I know so" Sephiroth placed his other hand on my hip, leaning in closer to where we're almost nose to nose.
"I'm glad you said that, because I like a man who can keep me on my toes and always had my back for the past 25+ years" I stared into his eyes as the moonlight hit them.
"then I'll hold you to it for the rest of our lives. You've done too much to just be rewarded once" he leaned in closer.
"it's a promise" I closed the gap and kissed him. We held each other. He lifted me a bit to get one last jab at the toes statement. His chapped lips were soft and his hair was like silk. He even put it up for once in a low pony with a small braid.
We separated with a few good breaths between us. Was dad always right that I might end up with Sephiroth? I don't care, if it is true, I know where my heart lies tonight. It's definitely with him. Soon we were surprised to see Seri and Zack. Seri looked like she was about to lose it at the fact we finally kissed. Zack was dumbfounded that Sephiroth knew how to be romantic.
"I did it! I knew you guys would come out here! And you kissed!!!!" Seri squeaked out giggles and stumbled to her brother and I.
Sephiroth held her steady, "I guess your constant nagging about me staring and smiling paid off, little sister."
Seri smiled, "it's only a matter of time till I hear wedding bells! I wanna be the maid of honor! Can we invite Aerith?! Cloud?!"
"Slow down Hyperactive Kitten, it'll be way down the line for that possibility. What if we just eloped?" I chuckled.
"don't care! I still get wedding bells!" Seri smiled as Sephiroth twirled her around in his arm. She brought him so much joy. I don't remember a day where he tried to visit her and play with her, even being a muse for her paintings. She loved him just as much.
"maybe once I retire, we'll see about that" Sephiroth smiled.
Zack gasped, "you're leaving me all alone no fair! It'll just be me and Cloud!" He pouted playfully.
I laughed at his expression and we had a fun night for the rest of the evening. My feet were sore and tired from dancing. At the apartment I helped Seri get ready for bed and hung her cute dress up for her to look at in her room. I made my way to the other bedroom and got undressed into pajama shorts and a tank top. I wiped off all my make up.
Sephiroth was just in sweatpants as he looked at me with soft eyes. I walked to him and gave him another kiss. Memories of sharing a tent or a bed together on trips, even into older age, came into my mind. Entangling our bodies together to stay warm. Him placing his head on mine. Even in uniform it was comfy. Like we were two sides of one coin. We laid down in the large bed, embracing each other, with me laying my head on his chest. Listening to his strong heart. His strong arm wrapped around my figure. My olivey complexion is a clear difference from his pale skin.
"Goodnight Sephiroth" I yawned softly.
"Goodnight Raven...I love you" He smiled.
"I love you too"

You know, Final Fantasy 7 is one of my favourite games ever (my top favs are HZD/HFW, all games involving FF7 and - although it's getting worse - Dragon Age) and I would like to write about something that doesn't sit right with me.
Warning: this post is a Sephiroth apology‼️🌸
So, remember the end of FF7 Remake, where Cloud & Co get to the end of the Midgar highway and they meet Sephiroth? In that exact moment, Aerith tells him "you're wrong", marking the word "wrong". She doesn't mean he's wrong about something, she literally means his whole existence is wrong and he shouldn't have been there or anywhere else in the first place.
Now, that remark rubbed me the wrong way, because Aerith is the only character connected to the Planet in this story and she's supposed to be very empathetic of what and how people suffer. She also lived in the Shinra building during her childhood and she hated it, she perfectly knows how things work there and she loathes - rightfully so - professor Hojo, because she knows what an unscrupulous and ruthless man he is. This would mean she met a younger Sephiroth at some point, and yeah she was still a child, but she must've noticed he was a kind and actually very submissive guy (maybe I'll get to this later???). I think she knows he too was subjected to experiments, just like she was, but this doesn't seem to bother her and she goes straight to saying something on the line of "you shouldn't exist".
In another moment in FF7 Rebirth, you can get a dialogue with Tifa in which she tells you she is "sick of Sephiroth cruelty [...]" and so on. Now, I agree with her, all she got from Sephiroth was her dad's death, wouldn't you be fucking pissed at him and hate him and want him dead? Yeah.
Thing is, I agree with Tifa and disagree with Aerith, but all of this makes me wonder: have they thought what a horrible and traumatic life Sephiroth had until that point?
Sephiroth:
-was born an experiment
-was taken away from his own mother, never met her
-doesn't even know his father
-as a child, he's shy and submissive, never gets any friends, he thus grows up lonely
-he spends most of his life in Hojo's lab, among Mako energy, needles and treatments
-no one ever showed him affection nor love, he was simply raised like a weapon in the hands of the most powerful corporation of the world
-his only two friends, as an adult, abandoned him
-one of his two best friends tells him the truth about him without the hint of some tact, he also calls him "monster" not knowing he's feeding the "insane gene" (let's call it that) in him
-the only new friend he gets, a recruit, jumps straight to conclusions instead of trying to help him
-he always said he wanted a "normale life" and he was forced into that. He also was one step away from leaving Shinra before the accident of Nibelheim happened
There's actually more to point out, but let's just take a step back and think about how an entire life of traumas, deprivation and loneliness can drive a person wild and cause Personality Disorders, Depression and Psychosis. I'm honestly surprised he even endured so much for so long and that would mean he'd be ok if only someone really cared for him and didn't see him as a "hero", a "star" or someone unreachable. His snapping point was reading all the history of Gast and Hojo's experiments and learning more about Jenova. That, sadly, adds up to the trauma he has to face and he even cries about it, meaning he was definitely still (emotionally) sane. Perhaps, it would have taken only one word of comfort but not even Zack was there for him, instead he acted a little harsh, in my opinion.
By this I don't mean things had to go differently, because otherwise I wouldn't have had one of my favourite stories out there, I'm just trying to point out how deplorable Aerith's comment sounds, especially knowing she's so caring and empathetic. I just don't like tha fact that such a dialogue line was written, but at the end I am but a humble Sephiroth apologist.
"You're wrong". No, Sephiroth is not wrong, all the people who surrounded him were.

TIMING: Current LOCATION: Worm Row SUMMARY: Arden reflects on the past several months while getting some work done. CONTENT WARNINGS: Mentions of parental death & alcohol.
Arden wasn't quite sure how to feel these days.
Leah's news had been both relieving and devastating. Leaving meant her friend would be safe. Or at least safer than she'd ever be in Wicked's Rest. Leah was strong and feisty and capable, of course, and being a phoenix gave her advantages, gave her powers. But it also made her a bit more fragile, more so than even Arden herself. Leaving meant the likelihood of her having to watch her best friend be killed and reborn had lessened significantly.
It also meant she was gone, though. Funny how that worked.
Oh, how the tables had turned.
Well, no. It wasn't at all fair to compare Leah's departure from Wicked's Rest to her own all those years ago. For one, they had sworn up and down that they would stay in contact this time. Leah wasn't her, the situations were entirely different. But that didn't make it hurt any less.
Her living anchor to Wicked’s Rest, the person who had been there for her since her return, had sailed off to calmer shores. And it felt like a loss. One more name to add to this list. Leah, Zack, Jo, her father. She’d been sick with worry when Emilio disappeared for a few days, she'd grieved Teagan for weeks, been close to losing Metzli, had barely avoided watching Wynne's demise. She'd been hurt, been homeless, and just generally been through far too much in the past year. And what did she have to show for it?
Arden wasn't closer to finding any answers, not about Erebus and the mine or anything else going on in town, for that matter. And she certainly wasn't any closer to finding answers about Jo.
It felt futile, honestly. Too much time had passed, any clues there had been to find were long gone. She was a decade too late, and she didn't know what to do with that. How was she supposed to just drop it, just live the rest of her life never knowing???
...a decade. God.
What the fuck was she doing? What was the plan? She was turning thirty years old this year, and as much as it didn't feel like a big deal, it still felt big. Because she still felt like a clueless teenager far more often than she'd ever be willing to admit to another living soul— lost, fumbling, and in way over her head. 
At least she knew how to swim now, she supposed. She had support, she wasn't entirely alone the way she'd been in Boston. But, her list was steadily growing, as were the near misses, and the chaos in town only seemed to be getting worse as time went on. As much as she hated to admit it, she couldn’t help but feel like there was only more loss on the horizon. There always was in Wicked’s Rest. 
Would more of the people she cared about die, like her dad and Jo? Would they leave like she had all those years ago, or like Zack or Leah? Or maybe they’d finally see her for the fraud she was, see her the way her mother saw her: a pathetic child. A disappointment.
...whatever. 
For now, she was here to stay. And that meant there was work to do.
Taking a swig of whiskey, Arden plucked the freshly printed page from her printer and rolled her chair back over to the other side of her desk. She set down the bottle, trading it for a thumbtack before turning to the corkboard beside her. Standing a little unsteadily, she eyed the map of Wicked's Rest, eyes flickering over the messy evidence board before pinning another missing poster to the line-up.
Lips pursed, she gave it another once over, gaze landing on the photos of that symbol.
She was going to find some damn answers, of that she was determined.

I was watering all my plants and ended up counting 46 individual pots - made me think of Angeal 👀
Any plant HCs for the plant dad? I could totally see him giving Zack, what i can only describe as, pocket money for doing his plant chores (watering etc) while he’s away on missions lmao
(Zack kills them anyway :/ )
Angeal is very protective of his plants. And very selective for who cares for them.
Genesis is not allowed around them because he will either burn them on accident with his fire magic or will over water them on accident.
Sephiroth is a bit more responsible but also can't be trusted because he will paw and bat at them incessantly.
Angeal often turns to Zack to plant-sit, as at least Zack TRIES to do a good job. If Cloud was integrated in their little circle, Angeal probably would have made Cloud his main man easily.
Kunsel owns most of Angeal's plants now. He takes very good care of them and has managed to make them flourish. No one ever really notices, but Kunsel does his best.

here are a bunch of different headcanons for each of the firsts and then some extra people because i feel like it and i want to post more 😌:
what’s something surprising that sephiroth does that others may not expect?: sephiroth can get embarrassed very easily. he can actually be quite insecure. however, he can hide it really well behind his cold and numb expressions and voice. plus, he’s too embarrassed to even admit that he’s embarrassed about something. one time, in an interview, he spaced out for a second and accidentally “admitted” to the entire country that he does professional photo shoots with his hair. i mean, he does anyways. not professionally, but still. everyone laughed it off, including him, but afterward he spent an hour or two just going uugghhHHHHH into his pillow.
what is genesis’s bad habit?: genesis picks at his nails a lot. whether it’s biting, picking the skin off around his cuticles, or ripping the excess nail off, he does it very often and it grosses angeal and tseng out. genesis has been doing it ever since he was a child though. at first he started doing it because he’s a very obvious perfectionist and he wanted his hands to look perfect, but now it’s just sort of a nervous reflex. you wouldn’t expect it because he’s so clean and neat, but it’s a very big reason that he has to wear gloves. he’s very insecure about his habit and how his hands look so he wears the gloves (also because they’re warm and he thinks they look badass), but he can’t stop.
what is enough to bring angeal to tears?: bittersweet endings, especially related to family. holy shit, angeal sobbed when he watched Coco for the first time and miguel sang to mama coco and she was forgetting her dad. that got him D E E P in the feels. it doesn’t get him as badly as bittersweet family endings, but also animals. animals dying or sacrificing themselves gets him bad too. he had a dog growing up, but because they were too poor at the time, he had to give the dog up. ever since then, animals have always got him.
does zack swear?: the short answer is yes, zack does indeed swear. he wasn’t allowed to at home because his mother and father didn’t want him to and would wash his mouth out with hot sauce if he ever cursed, so he was a little hesitant to cuss when he entered SOLDIER. one time, he bumped his arm on the edge of a chair during infantry and he said, get this, “aw shit” (whatttt???), and got so nervous when he realized what he did, but literally nobody around him cared lol. in fact, some of his buddies in infantry actually cheered when he did because they were so proud of him for letting the word “shit” come out of his mouth because he refused to say a curse word. now he swears, but not super often. it’s more just habit that he doesn’t, but he’s not afraid to swear now. except when he’s around genesis, of all people. genesis doesn’t like zack swearing and will hit him with a book if he does (not loveless though, it’s too precious to hit zack). the best part about it is that genesis swears too, he just trolls zack.
what is something small that aerith enjoys?: painting! aerith loves to paint. think of rapunzel from Tangled and you get the idea. every single wall of her room is covered ceiling to floor with paint, and she wants to paint the ceiling but it makes her a little dizzy to look up on a ladder for that long. she collects little rocks from the creek right by her house and paints them. she has a little collection and keeps them in a special chest, which she also painted lol. not only does she love to make art on surfaces like wood and stone, but she also paints clothes. she’ll sketch out a pattern on pieces of cloth and then paint on it with fabric paint so her mother can sew it into clothes, blankets, pillowcases, etc. it’s an effective pastime for her.
what is cloud’s morning schedule?: to put it simply, he doesn’t have one. but, if he does, the only constant is copious amounts of coffee. It really just depends on the day for cloud. sometimes he’s up at 6 in the morning. sometimes it’s 2 pm. whatever time he wakes up though, it wasn’t enough sleep. as you’d assume, he is very grumpy whenever he does end up waking up, and he brews at least 2 or 3 cups of coffee each time. and downs all of it. each. time. which may not sound very impressive to you, because i’m sure you may consume extensive amounts of caffeine, until you realize that that is cloud’s starting amount. he has roughly 2 1/2 cups about every 3 hours. and goes to bed at 12 am. so we’re talking roughly 13 cups of coffee per day. I have zero idea how he’s still alive. he just shrugged and said “how else am i supposed to stay awake?”. this man istg.

Lookism: At An EDM Festival
Tumblr media Tumblr media
featuring: daniel, jay, vasco, jace, zack, vin jin, dg, gun, goo, samuel, jake + a hint of big deal.
an: coping with writers block by making a shitpost that only i will find funny AHAHAHA. tw: for the sprinkles of m0lly.
Tumblr media
Daniel…gets a little overwhelmed by how many people are at the festival. probably doesn't take too much to get him FLOORED.
Tumblr media
He’s particularly shocked by how little some of the girls wear. (since when were pasties, a thong, some glitter and Demonias considered an OUTFIT?) 
His outfit is nothing to write home about though. If he’s not wearing just a t-shirt and shorts, he has on a baseball jersey for a dj he likes. The jersey was probably gifted to him by Jay. 
Even after what happened at Club Vivi, he still gets surprised when seeing a bunch of people on different substances.
The mainstage is his home.
 Obviously, when the party favors are brought out, he lets loose but doesn't go too crazy because he doesn't wanna black out; making new friends, trading kandi, dancing more and whatever. Probably might get bold enough to exchange social media handles with whoever comes up to him
[music taste: Seven lions, Jason Ross, Porter Robinson, Dabin, JVNA, Adventure Club, San Holo, Madeon, K?D,  etc.] 
Jay… is probably the one to supply party favors because he doesn’t trust anyone else to bring good or safe stuff. Especially if Daniel is partaking. 
Tumblr media
MDMA makes him talk. A LOT. The most he ever speaks. 
Probably one of the best dressed guys at the festival since festival fashion for men is nonexistent. 
He hates the idea of camping at a fest and would prefer a hotel or airbnb. But if the homies wanna camp, best believe he’s renting an RV for them to share. 
He likes trance the most but he’ll go to whatever stage Daniel wants to be at. 
[music taste: Above & Beyond, Tiesto, Kaskade, ATB, Armin Van Buren, Mat Zo, Hardwell, Dj Encore, Yuri Kane, etc.]
Vasco… dresses like a wook on accident (he couldn’t help it, the pashmina and bucket hat were comfy). 
Tumblr media
Listens to the same music as a wook on occasion (dubstep, riddim, experimental bass). But is not a wook because he is a good boy AND DOESN’T freeload. 
He likes happy hardcore music as well. 
Sober raver. 
Good vibes all around because he’s friendly. He loves trading kandi and little trinkets. 
Will protect you when a mosh pit breaks out. Gives the best shoulder rides.  
He’s in charge of holding the totem just in case the group loses him; but mostly so Jace can use the totem as a beacon to corral the other kiddos. 
[music taste: Bear Grillz, Ganja White Night, Dion Timmer, Subtronics, Gammer, S3RL, Technikore, Ziggy X, etc]
Jace… plays the role of rave dad with Vasco kind of but not really coparenting. 
Tumblr media
He’s the one to make sure that everyone has their water, he’s the one who gets everyone between stages and works around set conflicts so everyone can see their favorite dj. 
Has plenty of gum and Vicks on deck. 
Probably popular with girls because 1) he has gum 2) he fans everyone 3) surprisingly good at gloving and gives light shows. 
He probably has the most varied taste in the group because he and Vasco wander from stage to stage.
[music taste: Steve Aoki, Timmy Trumpet, RIOT, Excision, Alison Wonderland, Getter, Kayzo, Slushii, Ray Volpe, etc.]
Zack… has mainstage/househead energy. 
Tumblr media
We’ve seen him drunk, he’s definitely one of those guys who hits all the homies with the “BRO I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. YOU’RE MY BEST FRIEND” when he’s rolling. 
Occasionally gets too lost in the sauce and stares at the stage visuals like he’s seen God. Someone get him some darker sunglasses.
Sings along to the songs he knows, screaming the lyrics at the top of his lungs. 
Wants to give shoulder rides AND get them. 
Definitely fun in this setting and brings it out in Jay and Daniel.
[music taste: Diplo, Chris Lake, FISHER, Jauz, AC Slater, Noizu, John Summit, Zhu, Louis The Child, etc.]
Vin Jin… says he hates raves but tags along with Mary anyway. 
Tumblr media
FOR ONCE he doesn’t look like a weirdo for wearing sunglasses the entire time because so many other people are wearing them (yeah, he’s not the only one trying to hide his eyes) 
Probably bums a bump from whoever is willing to share their party favors with him. 
Quite honestly, Mary only invited him so he could take pictures for her and act as backup if some weirdos bug her. 
Plus, if he rolls, he’s guaranteed to be less of an asshole even if it’s just for a few hours. I think he gets the eye shakes really bad when rolling though LMFAO. 
Doesn’t care for most edm, is literally just there to vibe and keep his bestie company since she was nice enough to buy his ticket.
[music tastes: RL Grime, Getter, Carnage, Flosstradamus, TroyBoi,  etc..anyone who produces edm trap or dabbles in producing hip hop music is gonna be what he leans toward.]
DG…is constantly being invited to festivals because he’s collabed with enough djs/producers. 
Tumblr media
probably friends with more than half the festival lineup. 
He’s that one fucker with the $250,000 tab for bottle service in the VIP area. 
Refuses to step foot in the GA section. 
Another person just there to vibe and have a good time. maybe network with some more artists.
[music tastes: whatever sounds good to him tbh.As an artist, he has to be open to exploring all genres. Probably hates dubstep though.]
Goo…goes wherever the party is. 
Tumblr media
Not too bougie to stay in the VIP areas the entire night. But definitely does spend most of his time around the folks with money. 
Only goes into GA to see the drama and chaos. Maybe cause a little chaos as well. 
He has the money for designer drugs but is stingy as hell. 
He’s more than likely the reason why DG’s tab is so much.
 Will see someone having a bad trip AND MAKE IT WORSE just because he thinks it’s funny
While rolling, he secretly wants a rave bae. Honestly might hook up with someone if he was really feeling it.
[music tastes: listens to anything fun and upbeat. Anything too slow or downtempo bores the hell out of him.]
Gun…has a hard time admitting that he has fun at festivals. 
Tumblr media
He’s a techno snob so he definitely likes the music but festivals are so grimy in his eyes.
He detests being around the GA crowd.
Biggest flex is that he was able to get into the infamous Berghain club just off of vibes alone. No intimidation or bribery needed.
Hates seeing people who can’t handle their drugz. 
Would you even be able to tell he was rolling if his eyes are always black- LMFAO
Very happy that he can smoke freely; even if it means other people side eye him. 
Definitely tags along with Goo to go ruin people’s trip.
[music taste: Gesaffelstein, Creeds, One True God, Eli Brown, HI-LO, Rezz, Charlotte de Witte, UMEK,  Joyhauser, etc.]
Samuel…attracts too much attention he doesn’t want.
Tumblr media
ABGs LOVE HIM. ABBs WANNA BE HIM. AHAHAHA
Why’d he even come- he hates how these random ass people on molly keep trying to come up and talk to him 
Okay jk if you’ve seen the playlist you know I see him as a sadboi raver because i think it’s hilarious.
He uses music festivals as an escape. Definitely can be a little bit sleazy like Goo- he doesn’t care because it’s not like he’s gonna see or remember anyone at the festival again. 
Goo gave him a VIP wristband because he was hoping to see drunk Sammy cause a scene. 
The most that Samuel does is go a little too hard in the mosh pit and gets on some people’s nerves.
While rolling, he’s hype but he’s trying to vibe and enjoy some tunes. Getting kicked out for fighting would make him sad if he didn’t get to see his favorite dj. 
He’s a basshead/melodic dubstep type guy.
[music taste: SLANDER, ARMNHMR, Svdden Death, Kai Wachi, Sullivan King, ILLENIUM, etc.]
Jake (+Big Deal)...is just here to bond with the homies.
Tumblr media
Yo how tf were they able to afford going to a music festival. 
They’re just here to bond with each other and share the experience of going to a music festival together. How cute.
Big Deal as a whole is pleasant to be around at a festival, trying to keep PLUR alive. They have their own ideals so the concept of practicing Peace, Love, Unity and Respect in the rave scene is very admirable to them. 
Lua gets a bunch of cute pics in the outfit she DIY’d. She also made sure EVERYONE had coordinating outfits to match her. Jerry made kandi with her the night before the fest. Jerry is probably the one to carry the totem for Big Deal. Brad and Jason are shook when some girls come up to them asking to trade kandi. Lineman learns about some of the flow arts from people he meets. Sinu and Yeonhui are rave couple goals.
Obviously, when they’re all rolling it turns into a big bromance festival. Hugs, shoulder rides, head massages, it’s all that typa stuff going on with them. 
Jake is the head of the train when they move from stage to stage. They make it a point to always stick together because cell service sucks at festivals. If one person wants to get water, they all get water. If someone needs to go to the bathroom, they all go. 
Jake “adopts” Sammy into Big Deal’s rave fam and take care of him when they find him rolling too hard in the pit LMFAO
Jake is the rave dad of this family; even if it was Lua who remembered to pack all the essentials. 
Idk Jake seems down to party. Even if Sinu is the one who has to encourage him to ease up a little. Like when does he ever get to have fun- 
Jake might be THE ONE who doesn’t just find a rave bae, but is able to find something like a significant other at an event like this LOL. 
[music taste: they’re all new to the scene trying to figure out what EDM subgenres they like and don’t like tbh.]

All the firsts and Zack have decided to each get a house plant to take care of.
The SOLDIERs As Plant Dads
I'll do my own take on this concept, but I really recommend Green Thumb by Soyna on ff.net. This fic cracks me up every time I read it lmao
• After following Angeal to the monthly flea market in the slums, the boys come back with a plant each.
• Zack couldn't say no to Aerith gifting him a little plant. Sephiroth got his finger stuck in a venus flytrap. Genesis bought the venus flytrap with Sephiroth's finger still attached for laughs. Angeal got another plant to add to his collection.
• They're in the elevator going up to their apartments and Angeal is annoyed.
• First he has Zack, who barely knows how to care for himself, boasting about how Aerith is going to be sooo proud of him for keeping his little plant happy and alive.
• And then he has Genesis, who after laughing himself silly at the sight of Sephiroth with his finger stuck, is now trying to pry the venus flytrap away from Sephiroth and grumbling about how he doesn't understand why the plant likes him so much.
• Angeal has enough and says "100 gil says those plants won't live to see the end of the week."
• Zack immediately perks up at this.
Zack: Oh yeah!? Well you're about to be 100 gil poorer, old man! Me and—*he looks down at his plant*—Stefano are going to prove you wrong!
• Meanwhile Genesis, while still trying to unhinge the venus flytrap's jaws, seconds this.
Genesis: Make that 200 gil! Frederick will be alive and happy by the end of the week, you'll see!
Sephiroth: We're naming our plant Frederick? Why don't I have a say in this?
Genesis: Sephiroth, you're two minutes away from losing a finger. Worry about that instead.
THE NEXT DAY
• Zack walks into the training room carrying Stefano, the plant, in a baby carrier strapped across his chest.
• Angeal sees this and immediately loses it.
Angeal: You have got to be kidding me.
Zack: What? I told you I was gonna take this seriously! I'm the best plant dad ever. I'm so not gonna let Stefano out of my sight!
• Genesis walks into the training room nonchalantly and holding a capuccino.
Zack: Dude! Where's your plant?
Genesis: Ah, Freddy is with his nanny.
Angeal:
Angeal: You hired a nanny for a potted plant? Are you out of your mind??
Genesis: What? I had three nannies and I turned out fine.
• Kunsel walks into the training room rolling the venus flytrap around on a baby stroller.
Angeal: KUNSEL is your nanny????
Kunsel: 'Sup.
Angeal: ARE YOU PEOPLE OUT OF YOUR MINDS? THEY'RE PLANTS, NOT CHILDREN.
Zack: Shhhhh you're gonna wake up Stefano!
• Sephiroth walks into the training room with a stack of papers. He walks over to Genesis and drops them in his hands.
Sephiroth: Here you go. They're the papers granting you full custody of Frederick. I've realized I'm not ready to be a father.
Angeal: IT'S A PLANT.
Genesis: So you're just going to walk out on us? Have you no shame? No honor as a man, Sephiroth?
Zack: Yeah, Seph, for shame.
Angeal: IT'S A VENUS FLYTRAP.
Sephiroth: I understand your feelings might be muddled at a time like this. Hopefully in time you'll see that this is the best decision for our family.
Genesis: You know, my mother warned me this would happen.
Angeal: IT CAN'T EVEN TALK. IT'S A PLANT.
Genesis: And in front of the kids? You have no regard for our child's well being, you deadbeat cretin.
Sephiroth: You have every right to be angry. I will also be providing child support.
Angeal, rolling around on the floor: A PLANT.
Genesis: No. You know what? Me and Freddy don't want your money. We'll be leaving now, and you'll never see us again.
• He takes the stroller from Kunsel.
Genesis: Come on, Frederick, we're leaving.
• He strides out of the training room with Kunsel in tow. The following silence is loud until:
Zack: HEY!
• Angeal and Sephiroth look at him
Zack: STEFANO ISN'T A REAL PLANT. HE'S MADE OF PLASTIC!
Angeal and Sephiroth:
Zack: NO WONDER AERITH WAS SO EAGER TO GIVE IT TO ME.

182 Days of TPN - Day 168
Chapter 168: "Dad"
I know this is the same room Isabella & Peter were seen having their discussion in back during ch165, but to just have two plain chairs in such a large, empty room seems so extra. Regardless of that, I do like the panel of the trio here, even though they're surprised to find no one here due to the fake footage Peter fooled Vincent with that lead them there.
Tumblr media
Dunno how all the kiddos are hearing Peter's message since the teams seem to only have one person with a communication device but whatever. Perhaps he's speaking loud enough for everyone to hear.
Tumblr media
Although I have a hard time believing the Ratri men were able to tie up the Adam clones without a fight, I guess anyone will yield once you hold them at gunpoint. Also, the absence of Hayato in this panel is a nice hint to his role next chapter.
Tumblr media
While the demon guards don't cause much of a problem during the rest of the story, it still would've been better if the kids killed them off instead of put them to sleep. I get that they didn't wanna kill if they didn't have to, but it would've been one less thing to worry about. Hearing about Sonju & Mujika's execution definitely adds to the stress. Not as much as their deaths could have, but we're thankful Peter was stupid enough to actually wait three days.
Tumblr media
Along with all the citizens who drank the evil blood being killed, the Ratri clan and the higher-up demons taking control of the government, let's add the plan to assemble a ton of new Lambda farm into the mix as well. Talk about a big time panic. The premium farms don't sound so bad now huh?
Tumblr media
Oh Vincent, you dunno these kids as well as you thought if you honestly believe they would shoot the adults in front of them. Emma, Ray, Don & Gillian couldn't manage to fire a shot at Andrew back when he held Dominic & Alicia hostage after the shelter raid. You're best bet would've been Oliver. This goes back to that old post of mine wondering who, among the kids, would be able to shoot at another human, but I still believe Ray could manage it, if only as a last resort.
Tumblr media
The thought of Norman firing at another person was always a toss up for me though. Of course he showed no mercy towards demons during this WM phase, so even with the clear difference between demon and human, I wouldn't have been completely surprised if that cold persona of his came back with a vengeance once he heard Vincent get shot. Peter's been a thorn in Norman side ever since Lambda, so having this bastard personally hurt one of his friends just adds fuel to the fire. Norman (& Ray) did often mention taking down Isabella & Krone back during their GF days if they wanted to escape successfully, so they have level of brutality, it's just been real lowkey. Thankfully none of the children need to get blood on their hands. They've suffered enough already.
Tumblr media
Please never say those words with your mouth. No one in this world considers you as that.
Tumblr media
Hell yeah Oliver, let him know what's up!! I love that he, Zack & Gillian feel so strongly about the word "dad" because of the relationship they had with Lucas. The same can be said about Ayshe & her father but I can ramble more about all that next chapter.
Tumblr media
Favorite panel/moment:
If you've been around me for a while, then you already know how damn hilarious this panel of Norman is to me.
Tumblr media
I mean, in context, it's pretty serious, but thanks to a silly edit I've made years ago, I can't look at this panel anymore and not laugh like an idiot. So, now's the perfect time to upgrade it from a noticeable bad edit I made in the car on my phone once upon a time to something more worthy to use every time I lose my mind.

carmen could not have picked a more. i mean just what a cover story. obviously i get that its personal to her but imagine being an electrican and this lady who is even younger than you comes up to you and is like oh...yeah i run an international charity. for abandoned children how unaccomplished would you feel wheeze
i will never stop saying this but SAY GOODBYE OR SOMETHING PLEASE CARMEN
interesting that the "cuppa" he insists she has with him kind of sets off a shit ton of stuff for s4. if acme hadn't taken gray in they wouldnt have probably ever been able to help carmen get out of mind control, or it would have taken much longer. she wouldnt have been able to discover and destroy the robots. weird stuff
insert meme about people calling paper star tammy because of that one time she used that as a codename here. except its with player and peter
ALSO HEEY PLAYERS ACCENT FROM S1 PAID OFF...he was practicing...
where did they get that ballet which is perfectly synched up to the lights he needs to turn off
not bellum's ominous green lighting black shiny lab. so subtle
also you would think that the power station bellum draws ALL her power from would be better protected wouldnt you?
did they let crackle practice the "lights" because if they didnt- yikes that sucks and if they did- bellum's security mechanism just going haywire as he practices pjgkkjsghd
mm this scene is good
OH also. eternal bounce looping gif because mmgh that animation is good
Tumblr media
that animation of gray adjusting the slides where he goes in like. an arc in reverse. good shit
carmen is so not normal about the electric fields i love her. i get you're supposed to be dancing but girlie just run and jump its ok
Tumblr media
even more bouncy because i cant be stopped
I LOVE HOW BOUNCY SHE IS. LOST IN THE SAUCE (the sauce is tchaikovsky)
a nearly electrifying performance is the best way to tell your best friend you didnt just die in a really horrible way
honestly the quip about sheep is a pretty good one. neal is SO COOL his fight scenes are really fun. takes a lot of ingenuity for our mains to outdo him
also his score is SOOO COOL its like. its slithery idk how to explain it
HAHAHA SHE PROTECTED THE FACE AND HE WENT FOR HER LEGS
i love how she was just like "nah fuck this" and ran the other way
HIS "OUGH" WHEN SHE TRIES TO KICK HIM IN THE FACE DHGDJHGKD. WASNT EXPECTING THAT ONE I GUESS
she goes down really hard a couple times fighting him. you can hear after he mule kicks her against the wall that it hurt
Tumblr media Tumblr media
carmen's signature move, the titty twister
that "slick" line has become a line i just repeat with the same inflection like five times a day wugewghdh
player's kiwi went a little irish there
why did he go out the back door looking for carmen if the rest of the "theater" was supposed to be the other way 😭
oh okay nevermind he's just. he just doesn't listen
Tumblr media
gremlin bellum appreciation
gray is literally the luckiest motherfucker alive please
didnt carmen lock the door behind her also??? im so confused how did he get in
"carmen?" "sandiego" (clapping noise from the intro)
the little confused noise gray makes pls its so funny
also love how his first question is "what kind of concert hall is this" and not "why are we sprinting down a hallway"
THATS THE NIGHT THAT THE LIGHTS WENT OUT IN AUCKLAND (sick guitar) THATS THE NIGHT THAT THEY H wait a minute
so hot i love her
Tumblr media
kill, my queen
WILHELM SCREAM!
i love the disgust and annoyance that immediately overtakes her face when neal shows up again
are we ever going to talk about how neal was trying to snap her neck or no
no? okay
it would have been really funny if that crackle rod was set to lethal
i love how she says "zackivy" as one cohesive unit
pls carmen looks so short next to cracker
sharon muthu is such a queen
love also how carmen is more concerned about gray recognizing the voice than bellum threatening to take out auckland. yes girl priorities
fantastic shot of her grinning and then getting all smirky about it. she's so hot. again
Tumblr media
michael put his whole pussy into that scream/crikey
"it won't blow up in our faces will it?" "um just. stick your hands in there okay"
i love when cs uses "bad" colors like the red flashing warning light to indicate goodness like carmen winning
the crikeys are killing me
THE TRIPLE SHOT OF THE TRIPWIRE PROJECT BLOWING UP IS SO ICONIC
i love neal going from horrified at the explosion to looking at bellum like. what did you just say
crying over how carmen just looks at him with no expression on her face after he makes a kiwi joke
and now a series titled "OW!"
Tumblr media
thank you
also carmen does a WHOLE FLIP when she crashes (not doing photos because its hard to see) but she goes down on her neck, does a flip, and then slides in on her stomach
wow! good thing carmen is okay after crash landing in the woods due to something going wrong with a glider flight. im sure that won't happen again, and even if it did I'm sure the consequences couldn't be that terrible!
it would have been funny if he had died on impact im just saying
maybe he did and the power of carmen saying the wrong name brought him back
if the copyright wouldnt blow them to hell and back im a thousand percent certain they would have had crackle ask if carmen was like james bond
carmen: ill explain over that coffee also carmen: explains nothing
wow look the line that jumpstarted me writing fanfiction. my first fic was a red crackle fic based off of this scene/the afterscene of acme looking at the cameras and speculations of gray joining acme. guilty ✋
carmen vaporizing on the spot and leaving graham with thousands of dollars is a vibe
yeah vile didnt lay eyes him. yep
ALRIGHT FUCK YES IM CAUGHT UP WITH CS WEEKLY!! STOCKHOLM HERE I FUCKING COME ON TIME YES BITCH MY FAVORITE EPISODE

Twins of Chaos
Master Post, Chapter Six
CHAPTER SEVEN: MAKE UP OR MAKE OUT
Ben arrived home and took off his shoes. Many thoughts ran through his head, but the biggest one was:
"I miss April and Mikey."
He had no desire to see Raph again. Even after four years, he was still hurt and angry by what Raph had said to him. Raph treated him like he was someone who couldn't be trusted to lead or help. 
But that didn't stop him from missing Mikey and April. In the long run, they had nothing to do with the argument Ben had had with Raph. It wasn't fair to them that he took Josh and ran, hell, it wasn't fair to Josh.
Ben stopped, halfway up the stairs. "Am I a bad brother?" he mumbled to himself. 
He didn't get an answer, which, well expected, did nothing to cheer his sudden sour mood up. 
Turning around, Ben decided he would see if D- Josh was in the garage. He knew Zack Lawson, his other roommate, would be up in his room gaming. But right now, Ben could use the presence of one of his brothers. And there was only one option he had without seeing his older brother.
As he got closer to the garage, he could hear the loud music that Josh liked to blast as he worked. At least, he blasted it only during the day and not at night. Ben personally didn't mind, but Zack had complained a few times about it, so Josh stopped. 
Ben opened the door. "Josh~!" he sang.
"What?" Josh's flat voice came from under the car.
"First, what are you doing to our car? Second, I just wanted to hang out with my favorite twin brother."
"Scoff. First, I decided I wanted to upgrade our car so it would last longer, plus, it needed a routine check up to see how everything's functioning. Second, I'm your only twin."
Ben shrugged and sat on the blue desk chair, making it spin around a few times. "Did you get Zack's permission. It is technically his car."
"Of course I did..n't. I did not. But, it won't matter cause he'll love the changes. And they aren't anything too crazy. Just a better piston and a gas tank that won't require as much gas. Just small things that will improve the overall performance of the car."
"I see." Ben smiled. "Nothing too crazy."
"Exactly."
Ben hesitated then sighed. "Do you ever miss our old life?"
Josh came out from under the car, blinking slowly. "You mean fighting crime every day and almost getting killed by villains or the people we were close to?"
"The people we were close to. We don't even know if dad's still alive."
"Hm. I think he is. I get this feeling that he won't die until he sees us again." Josh wiped his hands on his shirt and stood in front of Ben. "And, to answer your question, I do. I miss the way Mikey would goof around. I miss Raph's hugs. He gave the best hugs."
Ben tensed up a little then nodded. "He really did."
"You're still angry at him, aren't you?"
"I am." He shrugged. "But—"
"Hey, Benny," Zack cut in. "Josh. I'm thinking about ordering some sushi for lunch. Do you guys want any?"
"Wow, I'm surprised that you're asking me if I want any."
"Pft, I don't entirely hate you, I just don't like you." Zack crossed his arms. "Do you want any food or not, Josh?"
"I'll just have a piece or two of Ben's. I'm not very hungry."
Zack nodded. "Ben?"
"I want... you two to get along."
"What do you want to eat."
"A couple spicy tuna rolls are fine. But seriously, why can't you two get along?"
"Ask Zack. He's the one who started it."
Zack scoffed. "I started it? That's bullshit."
"You were mean to me first. I'm only mean to people who are mean to me. It's just a fun little cycle, isn't it?" he said the last sentence in a baby tone. 
"Ugh, I can't believe I offered to get you food when you talk to me like that."
Josh chuckled. "I don't care."
Ben sighed. "You two need to make up or make out."
Zack sputtered. "Yeah, that's not happening."
"Never in a million years."
"Yeah, whatever." Ben grabbed both of their arms and took them to a walk-in closet. He pushed them into it and shut the door, using a chair to block them in. 
"Ben!" Josh shouted as he tried to open the door. "What are you doing?!"
"You two are going to make up or make out! I'm tired of your nonsense!"
"This is so unfair! Let us out!" Zack demanded.
"Nope! Have fun!"
