domestic reevincid
looking to clarify here for my sanity.
according to the ff7 wiki, the WRO HQ is "to the east of the ruins of midgar".
according to "the kids are alright: a turks side story" edge is "to the east of the ruins of midgar".
is the WRO HQ in edge??? it must be close, if not in the city, right??? and it's all vague, because we only ever see the WRO HQ in DoC, and Vincent does not pay attention to the geographical location, ig, bc we're just sort of at the building. and i guess i hope it was more on the outskirts, since it practically blows up from DG but like, obviously Reeve would've had it rebuilt after the events of DoC...
anyway im mostly thinking abt locations. is there a secret map somewhere??
HELP THEY'RE SO CUTE.
This joke could be told 500 times and it would never be enough for me
how awful do you think cecil felt when kain disappeared in mist? after accidentally annihilating an entire village, the guilt was already flooding in, let alone when he realized he personally dealt with rydia's mother. then the one person he had in the moment to rely on slides away in an earthquake that he definitely also could blame himself for (this is the most anxiety ridden man i've ever seen. he most definitely blames himself for that.) and is left with rydia, whom he dutifully takes care of, even though she hates him with all her guts (at the time).
imagine the self loathing, thinking that he condemned someone he loved to a death between stone and ash, thinking he could have prevented all of it if he'd simply had the guts to tell the king of baron "no". or investigated the ring he'd been instructed to deliver further. or anything else. but he didn't have time to dwell on it, because he needed to protect rydia, and that was his fault too.
Kadaj in all of his Gen Z glory: I would die for you
Aerith: Please don't!
Kadaj: I would die for you
Sephiroth looking him dead in the eyes: you will.
Kadaj: I would die for you
Yazoo and Loz: Not again :(
Kadaj: I would die for you
Tifa: That's sweet but I don't want anyone to die-
Kadaj: I would die for you
Genesis: But then it would be for nothing!
Kadaj: I would die for you
Cloud who's met enough teenage boys to know exactly what response Kadaj wants: then perish
recently discovered i am in a minority which is that reeve tuesti is genuinely one of my favorite final fantasy characters. why doesn't anyone like reeve 😭 where is my reeve content 😭
rewatched advent children (complete) recently and it really just makes me so sad for kadaj. i mean, loz and yazoo don't even feel like people in the way that kadaj does- they don't have the sass and snark of sephiroth, they don't command a room the way that sephiroth does. but all kadaj wanted was to be loved. he wanted to be wanted, and his creation led him to believe he could only be loved by jenova (who is incapable of love) by becoming sephiroth, by becoming someone else entirely. kadaj is not sephiroth, he is a remnant of who jenova made sephiroth into. he isn't even a remnant of who sephiroth truly was- of the man that angeal and genesis and zack and lazard and glenn and matt and lucia got to know. kadaj likely doesn't know who any of these people are- because jenova didn't care about who sephiroth was, only his power as her puppet, her pawn. kadaj was never going to get what he wanted, and that fucking sucks.
when cid returns with the enterprise to save everyone, he doesn't say a word to kain. he mostly talked to rosa and cecil, but he says *something* to rydia, addressing her presence. he says absolutely nothing to kain.
coincidence or not, cid sacrifices himself not a moment later with that bomb. coincidence or not, cid was their guardian- a consistent prescence in all three of the knight's lives. to avoid addressing kain at all? as if kain hadn't provided them with valuable information of the underworld at all, as if he hadn't shown his sorrow. as if kain hadn't repented enough for cid.
personally, i think that's part of why his mental barriers were weakened, and he couldn't repluse the "mind control" later on.
rebirth hard mode update:
