having a flare up = forcing it on my blorbos of the month
zack revival after meteorfall au where he has chronic pain and cloud takes care of him on his hard days which is hard for zack because he's always been the one taking care of everyone around him. he was helping aerith with her flower wagons, he was trying to help angeal and sephiroth and genesis stay sane, hell he was trying to help cloud with his motion sickness!! and now his body revolts and makes him sore and exhausted for days on end.
cloud tries to convince him he really doesn't mind takin' care of him, that he loves him, but it's hard for him to take, y'know? it's hard to accept help when it feels like accepting defeat, and it's even harder to accept help when you don't exactly know what's goin' on.
ugh i'm so tired of this you guys
you guys i love billy. you will be hard pressed to find an npc i didn't fall in love with though. broden and regina and roche and leslie and johnny and jules and chadley and oates and marlene and biggs and wedge and jessie and zhijie and urgh i just find the npcs all so lovable!!!
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth | ▶ dev. Square Enix
zack comes back to life after meteorfall au where zack and cloud are spending time together and cloud says something about how he feels like a monster sometimes and zack freaks tf out bc thats how angeal and genesis and sephiroth all felt before they tried to kill him.
okay you know the meme where person a says "i'm going to (go do something)" and person b says "not dressed like that you aren't!" and then person a says "is this better?" and person b says "yaas bitch slay"
that but genesis and minerva.
genesis: i'm going to go kidnap my brother from a cave!
minerva: not dressed like that you aren't!
genesis: is this better?
minerva: yaas bitch slay!
this is insane im sorry i can't make memes. does this make sense??
...still confused a little about somethin' everyone else seems to take in stride.
what exactly is the relationship between cait sith and reeve tuesti...?
like, cait is a robot. there are multiple copies of cait sith, ala the extra one in reeve's office in rebirth, the one being crushed in chapter 13 of rebirth, the one that blows up in dirge of cerberus. dirge of cerberus also has that awful scene where there's a cait sith inside of a reeve robot. (it. scared me. so. bad.)
does reeve control him? but he doesn't have to, 24/7, because in dirge of cerberus, the two are in the same room, and they interact. and you know, cait works 24/7, even when reeve is in board meetings and whatever. does he program him from his office?
maybe that's why cait takes a nap is cosmo canyon and freezes at the end of nibelheim, in rebirth. he's being updated with reeve's new information...?
okay this is just me being mad about something irrelevant so feel free to skip this one but! i was scrolling away on youtube, as a bored final fantasy fan who was away from home does. then, i find this video:
i see this and go 'oh my gosh, my favorite. an uninformed idiot made a whole video. can't wait to hate watch!" little did i know i would barely make it two minutes in. i save the video, and when i get home, i start dinner and turn this on.
according to this guy, the first thing the game "doesn't tell you"... is what punisher mode is. you know, the like, major function of cloud's kit. that they explain. and i was so mad i closed the video, went downstairs to my faithful ps5, and slotted the data disc into it to redownload the whole game to prove this guy wrong.
a half hour later (i went and finished my dinner while it was downloading dw) i start a new game, and lo and behold, literally like, four battles in, is the explanation for punisher mode:
JESUS CHRIST. WHAT THE FUCK??? anyway. i was so mad and i'm literally right and i don't care i just needed this out of my noggin.
started the original final fantasy seven. everyone is SO MISOGYNISTIC??? i said i was scared when i was going to fall off of a FREAKING MAKO REACTOR (#5, if it wasn't obvious) and barret told me to "stop crying like a girl" OH MY GOD?? YOU DO IT??!!! YOU HANG OFF THE EDGE AND DON'T BE SCARED??!!! WHAT.
also i HATE this weird tifa-aerith beef. i DEFINITELY prefer whatever they have going on in the remake continuity. please stop bullying each other. please stop asking if i'm dating one or the other. i don't even. care.
also cait sith in the honeybee inn?? was so funny. why was he there??
but also i LOVE all the details that are like, wow, this was a piece of the background. you made this a two hour gimmick. (this is about those fucking robot hands in sector six.)
playing rebirth makes me feel SO BAD for reeve/cait sith. he tries SO HARD to convince AVALANCHE that he's truly on their side, that he wants to help people and do the right thing, and right when they're FINALLY warming up to him, rufus/tseng/whoever makes him throw that trust away and give away the keystone. he doesn't WANT TO T-T
even in the beginning of chapter 12, when he pulls cloud aside, he's trying to talk them out of going, so he doesn't have to trick his friends. he doesn't want to betray these people who are trying to save the planet.
side note. do we think any other exectives know about reeve's little switcheroo with the wanted posters??
i love leslie kyle. he's:
1) helping literal terrorists go do more terrorism bc at least they're not his sex trafficking mob boss
2) just looking for his fiancee/girlfriend (he says girlfriend in TKAA:ATSS but says fiancee in remake continuity so...)
3) going to eventually becomes friends/coworkers with kyrie canaan. the future angel of the slums kyrie canaan.
4) voiced by mark whitten. i just like him, really.
5) still wearing that UGLY LEOPARD PRINT JACKET. STILL.
on my rebirth replay i had the stellar idea to write down the loveless prelude and compare it to the "original" loveless poem. also it's color-coded.
later i'm gonna think harder about my big "explore differences" note. maybe on the airplane. i mean, what do you do on an airplane anyway? analyze fictional religious poetry.
rebirth hard mode update:
aw man. everyone was right. rufus stinks. i forgot he was IMMUNE TO ELEMENTAL DAMAGE?? HOW??
plus, i'm going on vacation, and i will not get another opportunity to try again until i get back. he's just gonna haunt me for a week. i'm gonna watch so many videos about hard mode rufus. i'm gonna get him. i am not going to pysche myself out of fighting him. i am gonna get him. he's gonna say "and yet here. you. are." in that stupid tone that i like so much when he summons darkstar. and i'll blow him up.
darkstar/dark nation i want to know your gender.
why doesn't anyone gender you ever????? not in the original (although tbf dark dies RIGHT AWAY in og). not in remake and rebirth.
PLEASE TELL ME THE GENDER OF YOUR DOG DOOFUS SHINRA. IT MAKES IT HARD TO WRITE ABOUT YOUR DOG AND YOUR RELATIONSHIP TO SAID DOG.
HELP THEY'RE SO CUTE.
This joke could be told 500 times and it would never be enough for me
thinking about "say goodnight, pippilly...!" followed by the losing music.
