writing is going great thank you for asking
Goodnight until tomorrow
So this is neat. The new chapter makes it interestingly clear that Sephiroth, for all his rank and reputation within Shinra, doesn't actually have any real authority within the system.
For years we'd been giving Sephiroth the fanon rank of "General", but the truth is that his hands are pretty tied with the inner workings of SOLDIER. The company that raised him, abused him, dehumanized him, and exploited him for profit didn't even have the courtesy to give him a position of actual legitimate authority.
Sephiroth is basically just their trained dog. Their Stamp. He acts as their mascot. He does tricks for them on command. He has the "privilege" of being famous and respected. But he's still very much on their leash. And that's all he can ever have.
revamped the inspo playlist for At Dawn and feeling hyped to drop the next chapter this week - we're about to hit the song 'Apocalypse'.
<3 as always to all the other sfkr inspirations for this inspiration - you have amazing music taste! If you have any other recs I would love to hear them
if you're into 'how it's made' rambling, themes to listen out for are:
Flowers/growing/bodies/organic motifs (got a wolf or two in there for Cloud)
lab/tech/medical vibes/sickness/wounds/infection
Water/washing away/cold/falling/floating/drowning/baptism
Fire/destruction/heat/burning
Sun/moon/stars/planets
Dawn/day/night/twilight/light/dark
Life/death/apocalypse/rebirth
Dreams/memory/transformation
Love/longing/safety/togetherness/ties and threads
Silver and gold/Green and blue
Feeling a little better today, better than yesterday.
silly doodle for chapter 6 of At Dawn (with bonus Aerith)
actually a fairly serious chapter. but Seph does get stuck in a sleeping bag at one point so...this is what you get.

I originally called this 'a gently Sefikura epilogue' and then went and sketched out 10 chapters and now it's looking like an *aggressively* Sefikura epilogue haha. We start with a speculative stab at the Remake/Rebirth universe final battle and go on from there with some ✨Cetra magic✨ and eventual warm fuzzies.

I took these pictures at a factory outside of Tokyo and the location reminded me of Final Fantasy VII.
