‘Hey, do you want to come over to my house? I want you to try Mom’s cooking.’

Don’t tell me it didn’t happen.

[artofalassa]

Hey I have an odd question. Do Zack and Cloud still live with Tifa at the end of the Zack lives Au? Or is that still something that's up for debate? Also where's Denzel at?

Hey, no worries! Sorry for a tldr answer!

TLDR > Zack, Cloud and Tifa are always together, even if not living in the same apartment and Denzel lives with Barret and Marlene away from the Edge.

LONG ANSWER >

They don't and they do. Sort of.

In our AU, we settled that the building has more apartments. As in - there's a tiny little courtyard sort of in the back? That's where Cloud's garage/workshop is. This courtyard is a space these houses share. What I'm trying to say is that they live in almost the same house, but different apartments.

I was very adamant about the fact that Cloud wouldn't ever leave Tifa behind and needed to make sure he's always there for her, whenever she needs anything. He's just... in my AU, he feels like he owes her his life, so he wants to do the best he can do for her. And since for some, to him absolutely insane reason, what she wanted the most, was to be around him, he lived with her. Not like he had anyone else more important to him. And it made her happy. He'd do anything to make her happy. Until Zack was found. And Cloud realized he could and did have strong feelings for somebody else.

I only hinted it in the 'Arguments' comic, in one panel, where Tifa's standing alone in the apartment. However, Zack and Cloud moved out some time before they got together.

Zack couldn't sleep on their couch, because it was tiny and he's biggy biggy, he kept waking up with anxieties because WHERE is Cloud???, so Tifa found him sitting by their bedroom door a few times at night. He was asleep. And when Cloud found out about that, he decided it needed to stop and there was NO way he would ever force Tifa out of her own bed. So-- he took Zack and sort of left.

To a different floor/apartment.

He was being practical, as always.

'Our' Cloud has STRONG feelings for Tifa. He respects her, loves her, would do literally anything for her. But. All of those feelings are stronger when it comes to Zack, who was everything Cloud ever wanted and always treated him as his equal. While making him laugh, sacrificing his life for him etc etc all the events of the games hahah. But, I wasn't asked why I like ZC so much. SO.

As for Denzel...

I won't lie and try to make excuse - but man, I'm not a fan of the kid. Or more like - what he represents. For me he always stood as a representation of Squenix being too scared to admit, that yes, Tifa and Cloud are together and have kids together. No. That could enrage some of the fans and we need to make as much money from this as possible. So. Hey. Cloud found a kid. And declared him his son. And together they lived happily ever after. Eyeroll.

I drew most of my comics before I read the 'On the Way to Smile' book. I did see the episode Denzel meanwhile and loved it, because it showed events of VII from a pov of a bystander. And man do I love such stories. But Denzel never grew on me. So we always assumed that he left with Marlene, when Barret took her to live with him in the house shown in 'Gardens' comic. He's a big boy and he wants to be useful somewhere.

Then I read in the book that Cloud adopted him, eyerolled so hard and then shrugged, because I am, in fact, drawing a fan comic about my favourite character surviving his own death, so I suppose I can legit sort of skip some other things too, right.

It's a fanfic.

There's so much more we have on the topic of what happened later and in between. I was so sure I'd be drawing at least 150 pages more of the story and start telling a story with the three of them AND Kunsel joining them. But. Hey. I just. I burned myself out too hard with FFVII and I wasn't as excited about Rebirth as I hoped i'd be. So. Who knows if I ever manage. I still do want to draw at least some scenes, though.

So - Zack, Cloud and Tifa are always together, even if not living in the same apartment and Denzel lives with Barret and Marlene away from the Edge.

Omg wait hi I'm the same anon that said they love ur wing au, is there a reason why zacks wings have two different colors?

Oh! Yeah! We wanted him to be different from the rest. See, Sephiroth's wing is black, Gen's is weird grey/black as well I think? Angeal's white. And I love black and white combination. AND Zack has the silver/white details on his uniform and you know... Storks have beautiful wings. <3

[artofalassa]

I'm so in love w ur wing au and how zacks wing is two colors... Omg omgomg

[artofalassa]

hi! do you do commissions and if so where can I find your page?

Hey! Not at the moment, sorry.

Considering my nature of work (random storyboarding work w rushed deadlines) and my cm queue usually being full for a month or two ahead, I haven't had a chance to make a cm pricelist for four years now.

In case you were interested, feel free to drop me an example of my work you liked and your idea, I'll tell you the estimated price and we can settle the details. I usually try to work around the client's budget. However, it often takes me a few weeks to get to your idea.

[artofalassa]

No questioned, sorry. Just here to boop and say your art is purely awe inspiring (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))♡

Aaaah thank you so much!! 💕

In case I have any cz/sk followers here and they magically stumble upon this - I am opening a solo exhibition in museum&gallery of Most, Czechia on 27th of April!

It is focusing mainly on my original works: dark fantasy, memento mori and folklore.

See you at the opening ceremony if possible! I'm bringing bones 🦴🦴

Since Rebirth's out and zines are long gone at this point, I figured I could make an actual post with this, instead of just dropping it in an ask answer. <3

Some of these I never posted outside of patreon, so there’s link to them! (mostly just jokes which aren’t that important to the story)

Huge thanks!!

GUYS.

Thank you for all the lovely (and scared) comments in the tags!

I know the last part was not as interesting visually speaking and there is no cuddling, no spice nor any colours. AND on top of that - I completely forgot to put it up publicly and thus made a HUGE gap in between the parts.... orz

Enormous sorry about that!

But all the lovely tags and the excitement about the update (!!!) made my day! For real. Had a really stressful week and this means the world! <3

Thank you so much! <3 I really appreciate it! <3
