While I’m talking, Cloud almost killing Tifa in Gongaga is not just a ‘would that be fucked up or what’ moment or even because Tifa has the true memories/proof to counter Sephiroth’s lies (though, that is part of it). It’s also because killing Tifa is the antithesis of who Cloud is. It’s the antithesis of the little boy who put his life on the line to save her and then dedicated his life to becoming strong enough to protect her. The antithesis of his promise to be there for her and the feelings behind it. “Cloud” and “Tifa’s killer” cannot coexist. “Cloud,” the boy defined by a desire to protect Tifa, cannot survive this. That’s why Sephiroth is trying so hard to get Cloud to kill Tifa. Sephiroth could kill her himself and that would still be majorly bad for Cloud’s true identity as he’d still lose his only tether to reality and the symbol of his conscience. But it wouldn’t be as effective as having Cloud do the honors. Sephiroth needs Cloud to kill the light in his own heart. He needs Cloud to kill his self. And there is no more definitive way than this.
#aughhhhhh#final fantasy#final fantasy 7 rebirth#cloti#idk how anyone who played this game walked away from this scene normal. this scene grabbed me by the throat and still hasn’t let go#i have been metaphorically staring at the ceiling for two months#this is only like a sliver of what makes it so crazy too#when you get into how this scene calls back to when cloud is a child and first expresses that desire to become strong like sephiroth#after he is too weak to save tifa from falling off that bridge#and how we see exactly what becoming strong like Sephiroth means#how it’s the path to self-destruction and what that looks like#the death of cloud’s conscience and cloud’s true self - symbolized by and intrinsically connected to tifa#and how it’s not just rage. it’s fear. there’s so much fear and self-hatred driving cloud here#sephiroth’s manipulation is effective because he’s preying on these fears and insecurities that cloud already has#and then the parallels to the start of remake#if i speak……..

was talking to a coworker and realised i could not for the life of me remember his name but i was too embarrassed to ask because we've spoken multiple times so mid-conversation i started concocting a plan to nudge the conversation towards the ID photos on our building passes so that i could be like oh my ID photo is awful haha the camera they use to take these has a real talent for making me look as unphotogenic as possible and then he would say oh yes me too haha everyone says that (because they do) and then i would be able to say well let me see yours it can't be as bad as mine! and he would show me his ID because we are coworkers and why wouldn't he and this would allow me to see his building pass which of course would have his name on it and then i would be able to say well yours is perfectly nice it must be me that's the problem! and then we would have a polite chuckle about it and i would have his name without needing to ask for it and he would be none the wiser and all would be well but then before i could execute this fine plan a little voice in my head went "so this is some light yagami bull shit you are about to pull" which was such a violent reality check it shocked me completely out of my embarrassment and i went "hey im so sorry your name has slipped my mind could you remind me" and he did and it was fine.
#just#this happened once before when i was speaking to someone who clearly knew me but i didn't know them#and they were OBVIOUSLY an important person of some sort and I couldn't ask#so i pretended to hear something and looked over and they looked over too to see what i was looking at#and while they were distracted i snuck a peek at their id badge. this worked#rookposting#everyone has done some variation of this before.#im only self conscious because of all the kinassigning.

Went to take this picture of this insane bigfoot sex sign and only after opening my camera did i notice the entire flock of little chickens chilling in the dirt. life is good again
#ki speaks#there was like 7 or 8 chickens total. not pictured#images that pinpoint my location to the pacific northwest#before anyone else says it in the tags: my first thought upon encountering this? ford pines#'bigfoot and *I*' he would correct it to#i took this picture in oregon. to make it more ford coded.#1k#10k

got a text from my old boss that she got new kittens, which didn’t surprise me bc she’s infamous for having like 10+ cats at a time and is constantly taking in strays from neighboring farms. average thursday for her right. but then i go to actually open the image she sent and

unique markings indeed!
#icarus speaks#WHERE DID SHE FIND SKUNKS 😭#this is also not technically new for her she’s nursed multiple baby raccoons and i believe squirrels and stuff to health before#(she’s a vet)#but girl. where the HELL did u get that

what if your doppelgänger wasn’t evil it was just a person. what if your doppelgänger wasn’t trying to replace you it was just trying to learn to be a person and you were the best model it had. what if your doppelgänger looked at you with your eyes and said with your voice that it just wanted to be loved. what then.
#aelan speaks#fornax cain#fun fact i used to think imposter syndrome was more literal#not so much “i don’t deserve this good thing and i’ve somehow tricked people into thinking i do”#but more like “i am straight up not a person and everyone knows it”#“and i am TRYING to be a person but i can’t get it right and they all KNOW and i should not be here but i don’t know where else to go”#anyway i was a normal child

not to be a dirty commie or anything but i don't think any one person should have enough money to solve world hunger and then get to decide not to
#he speaks#i hate rich people#“but preston the rich people EARNED that money they worked so hard to exploit all those poor people” I'LL EAT YOU TOO#they're trying to decide what color their third yacht should be#meanwhile your average joe is busy trying to pick between dinner or rent#luigi mangione was right#luigi mangione and tetsuya yamagami legendary collab coming this spring

Look I don't wanna bitch but if your Tumblr fic takes longer to scroll past than the Do You Love The Colour Of The Sky post then it would be kinda appreciated if you put the majority of it under a Read More button
#no-one puts these on my dash except a wrongly optimistic tumblr saying “based on your likes!”#tumblr when did i ever show any interest in CoD in either game or fic form#anyway. just common courtesy i feel#not to mention a good little intro works more enticingly than a wall of text so you might draw more interest#but maybe that's just me#anne speaks

laios is perhaps the only character not to get the "they mentioned their favorite food once and the fandom makes it their whole personality" treatment. his favorite food is cheesecake and absolutely nobody cares
