Having A Flare Up = Forcing It On My Blorbos Of The Month

thinking about final fantasy vii dads today...

cloud and tifa have a weird thing going with their parents, where cloud lost his dad very young/didn't grow up with his dad, only living with claudia, and tifa has the exact opposite, where her mom died when she was young (leading to the og nibelheim incident /hj) and she grew up mostly with brian, until both claudia and brian died in the (second) nibelheim incident.

brian lockhart was obviously very protective of tifa, not wanting her to go up mount nibel in the first place with sephiroth, zack, and cloud to check on the reactor. then he died in front of her up in the reactor a week later...

while barret doesn't talk about his parents, he is a dad, and he sure has complicated feelings about that!! what with dyne being his best friend, and myrna not being able to be there with him, caring for marlene through all that loss must be crazy.

aerith's dad literally helped create sephiroth. professor gast was a craaazy dude lowkey. and he's so irrelevant in her life it kills me a little. i hope we see gast in pt. 3. and tell him his daughter is fuckin' dead.

nanaki has a weird thing with seto, too, where he believed him to be a coward, just to learn that in all actuallity, seto sacrificed the life he could have had with his wife and nanaki to protect cosmo canyon, so nanaki wouldn't feel the need to make a similiar, self-sacrificing choice.

yuffie and godo... her anger at him in the remake trilogy has me hooked. sonon seemed to think he was a great guy, and yuffie adamantly argued the opposite. i cannot WAIT to see him in pt. 3. i cannot wait to find out what is going on. she hates him so much right now, for the sake of her country.

does cid have a dad thing? ...i don't think so. neither does reeve/cait sith... well. i didn't forget them. they're mentioned.

vincent and grimoire... another thing i hope they explore in pt. 3... or in a DoC remake (PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REMAKE IT.) the literal 4 minutes of grimoire screentime that explains absolutely nothing about their relationship, or grimoire's research, or... ANYTHING. i'm so. curious. he came in, flirted with lucrecia, and died. ARGH TELL ME MORE!!!

also, not a party member, but the whole "president shinra having multiple illegitimate sons" thing always makes me hate that guy a little more. lazard and evan i love you guys. rufus i love you too but your daddy issues are a different flavor.

as kids, i imagine kain got in a lot of trouble. all three of them were little trouble makers, (i mean, c'mon. three kids running around a castle? they're bored.) but only kain ever got in trouble. it seemed obvious to the king and rosa's parents and cid (and basically all of the adults in their life) that kain coerced them into spending their time making mischief rather than dutifully training as they should've been.

obviously, this was not the case. have you met rosa? that girl was out and about as soon as she heard cecil and kain might've been exiled from baron. she headed straight for damcyan, even though her lack of experience with heat had her ill almost instantly. rosa acts first and thinks later- if she wanted to sneak out to the town during training, she was the one begging kain and cecil to help her.

and cecil, despite his almost-inability to actually tell someone "no", generally went along with it. he noticed early on that kain was taking the brunt of the blame, and tried to take some himself, but between kain's self sacrificial nature and the king of baron's favouritism, cecil's attempts never held any water.

KUNSEL 😭😭😭

Valenwind Week 2025 with all the Cid and Vincent shenanigans that came to my mind! Plus an extra illustration I did just in time for @aelkurai-art who asked for Cid and Galian chilling by the night fire~ And since it goes so well with last two promtps, I'm adding it to this batch.

LITERALLY I LOVE THEM

Cid, Reeve, and Vincent together form a functional human being.

Underrated ship

update on rebirth hard mode: i hate that evil fish. terror of the deep?? who let it trap all 3 party members at once?? fuck that shit and shoutout to enemy skill plasma discharge on tifa, that shit saved my ass.

also i got to see one of my top 5 yuffie moments, where she waves and goes "thank you very much!" and barret mockingly goes, "you're welcome!" they're so dumb i love them. so found family core of them tbh.

yuffie taking .5s of vincent and sending them to reeve in official channels
