I had a dream last night where the Nibelheim incident was averted because Sephiroth was playing Pokemon Go, so he lead them up Mt. Nibel and all the while ZackCloud is starry eyed going "Wow Sephiroth! You're so cool! How do you know this is a shortcut?" and Sephiroth goes "No, there's a Rattata around this area that I want to catch." Actually getting to the reactor was a hassle because he was more focused on the Pokemon than the mission. Then he did end up in the library perusing the texts, but he got an alert on his phone that there was a rare Pokemon outside. He pushed ZackCloud out of the way in a hurry, ZackCloud says "NO GOD PLEASE NO DON'T BURN THE VILLAGE DOWN" and Sephiroth goes "OUT OF THE WAY TWINK FRIGIBAX IS OUTSIDE" and then I woke up in a cold sweat.

ᥫ᭡. MTP CHARACTERS REACH YOU LATE

✧ ⚠️: Death, suicide, murder, angst .. I think that's all.

╰┈⪼ ୨ William James Moriarty is busy teaching his class when he finds out you've passed in the hospital. ୧

“Now, you'll have some trouble solving the equations but once you get the hang of it - it'll be far easier for you all.” William says, palms against the podium as he looks over his class, a gentle smile plastered across his features.

Two knocks are heard on the door opposite to the podium he stands in front of. Slowly, the door is opened to a new face - looking at William with somber, hesitant eyes.

“Yes?” William lifts his head, gazing over the stranger. Several students turn their heads to look at the new man as well. “Can I help you?”

The man inhales, unsurely looking over the classroom. “Lord Moriarty, please. It's urgent.” He says, gesturing William to come closer towards the man.

William pauses, wondering what could be so urgent. He nods his head, making his way to the end of the class. The man takes William out of the classroom to break the news, whispering into his ear.

He stiffens, not sure if he's heard the man right. “Pardon? I-” His heart is thumping violently in his chest, feeling his palms get sweaty all of a sudden. The impact the news has is even worse when his older brother, Albert, comes personally to pick his younger brother up.

“William..” Albert rasps, guiding him towards the carriage to get to the hospital. William's dazed, feeling like he's not here, not present. Albert has to hold him by the shoulders.

It's only when he finds your lifeless body on the hospital bed when it finally clicks for him. He's standing in the doorway momentarily before his knees suddenly give out under him. Albert holds onto him, making sure he doesn't hurt himself from the fall. “What is..? Brother?” William turns to look at Albert, who's gaze is locked to the ground, afraid to meet his younger brother's eyes. “They were in a carriage accident, William.” He says silently. “They were crossing the road when a carriage's wheels suddenly came undone; crushing them under it's weight.”

He's so very soft and gentle when he gathers you into his arms, cradling you close to his chest. Soft sobs involuntarily make their way out of his throat as he rocks you back and forth on the hospital bed, lips pressed against your forehead. His eyelids are closed and tears drip from them, the flat of his thumb caresses the back of your cold hand, arms wrapped around you as if it would warm your lifeless, cold body, even by the slightest.

╰┈⪼ ୨ Albert had baked your favourite dessert after a long time since you'd been diagnosed with a chronic illness. He wanted to share it with you. ୧

You had been spending your final days in the hospital. Medical tubes held your frail existence, oscillating between life's edge and the promise of tomorrow.

Despite your preparations and promises to be strong, a solitary tear betrayed your resolve. Did you regret sending him away for your favorite dessert, knowing death was inching closer? No. No, you didn't. Did you? It was your plan in the first place, to spare him from witnessing your departure from this mortal realm.

It was a nice life, wasn't it?

“It was.” You whisper, smiling softly to yourself.

Your senses grow gentle and distant, as if caressed by a gentle breeze on a summer evening and the world around you recedes, becoming acutely aware of the gentle rise and fall of your breath. You release the weight of existence, surrendering to the gentle pull of the unknown.

“Darling! So very sorry I'm late, I was-” He peaks his head into the hospital room, your favourite dessert in a bag he holds. He stiffens, the silence of the room jarring. He'd half expected you to nag him about being so late. “Darling?”

The sight of you, so silent and unmoving makes his heart fall to the ground. The bag falls to the floor. He feels his stomach churn as he makes his way to you, tiptoeing to you quietly as if a noise too loud would wake you - but perhaps, that was all he wanted. To wake you up once more. Tears stream down his face, feeling his heart break inside of his chest.

“I'd baked for two.” He whispers to your motionless body, stroking your hair softly. A small, soft whimper makes it's way past his lips when he leans down to press his lips against the tip of your nose, bidding you goodbye.

“Rest now, my beloved.” He speaks softly, slowly running his palm over your eyelids and closing them for you. Atleast now you wouldn't be in constant pain.

╰┈⪼ ୨ Louis didn't want it this to end - certainly not this way. He was sorry and he wanted to apologize to you. ୧

Louis's ears were ringing loudly - the noises in his head almost too blaring, too violent, completely blocking out the abrasive shouts of those around him.

His breath was rapid, irregular and heavy as he pushed everyone out of his way to get to you. All kinds of thoughts flooded through his mind. He'd gotten too angry, too caught up in the moment that he ended up lashing out at you. He knew you were having problems with everything, with yourself. He should have understood. He should have. If only he didn't lash out at you, if only he had noticed these signs earlier - the constant anxiety, the inability to get out of bed, to eat, to take care of yourself..

An officer from the Scotland yard stops him, trying to block him from getting to you. “Sir, please! You can't go past these police lines anymore.”

He pushes past the police officer, too focused on locating you. When he finally finds your body on the ground, chalk outlining your body - he can only feel his heart break inside of his chest to see you in such a state.

“(Name)..!” He gasps, voice weak and barely audible. “No..” His voice cracks as he staggers his way to you, police officers still trying to stop him. He kneels infront of your unmoving body, holding you into his arms.

“Please..” Louis pleads, burying his face into your hair. “You can't..- you can't leave me. Please, (Name). I'm sorry..”

“Wake up, please. (Name)..” He looks down at your lifeless body. "Wake up." He whispers to you, the sound of his wails of grief echoing throughout the atmosphere. "Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up." He pleads to every single deity out there, hoping one of those ‘wake up's’ would wake you up and bring you back to him.

He's shaking all over, tears flooding his eyes and making it's way down his face. “Scream at me, hit me, be angry. Hate me all you want. Please, just wake up.”

╰┈⪼ ୨ How would Zack know that his very work of line, the one he swore to use to make a safer world for you, would wound up being the reason for him to lose you? ୧

Surrounded by constant threats and corruption, in and out of the CID - that's what it meant to be Zack's significant other. And yet, the both of you didn't mind - as long as you two were by each other's side, everything was alright.

That was the case.. until now. He was always a work oriented man, he'd never put his emotions over his duties.

And yet, his emotions overwhelmed him greatly. You were his light - and now with you gone, he felt himself loose a part of him.

Zack stood at the scene, his eyes fixated on the lifeless body of his lover being carefully placed on the stretcher. The blaring ambulance sirens echoed in the background, their piercing wails mingling with the chaotic thoughts racing through his mind. His hand feebly grasped onto your own a little too longer as you're carried away, watching you with a grief stricken gaze.

Lestrade, his trusted colleague, approached him cautiously with concern etched on his face. "Zack, I'm.. so very sorry for what happened." he said softly, his voice barely audible over the clamor around them. "We'll find the person responsible for this. I promise you."

Zack blinks, a tear dripping down his face. His chest tightened, a mixture of grief and anger overwhelming him. He clenched his fists, his jaw set in determination. "I won't rest until I find the bastard who did this." he replied, his voice laced with raw emotion.

“They're going to regret-” his voice breaks. “-what they did to them, what they took from me. ”

He replayed their last moments together, the warmth of your touch, the gentle sound of your laughter. And now, all he was left with was an empty void, a painful absence that threatened to consume him. As the ambulance doors closed, shutting out the sight of his lover's lifeless form, Zack's heart sank further.

Memories of their time together flooded his mind, each one a bittersweet reminder of what had been stolen from him.

[myristicisms]

Eyes flash near dangerously, the usual subtle glow of the mako staining his irises giving way to the sudden rush into his head and there's a soft laugh that he barks out, head cocking slightly to the side curiously while he mulls over the statement. He could handle everything fine enough, or at least that's what Zack thinks even if it would be fun to hand the reigns over and see what Cloud would do if he allowed the blonde to take over. “ Depends. ” He manages, voice as calculated as possible given the way he has to hold himself still, body growing jittery from excess energy beginning to pool within his limbs. “ If you think you can then go ahead, I wanna see what taking charge looks like to you. ”

ZACK SNYDER’S JUSTICE LEAGUE (2021) ››› Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne / The Batman

“Weird...My stomach’s in knots...”

[therubyjailcell]

so i said i wanted an AU where the crisis core trio adopted zack.

[yingxtkm]

this is such a strange and niche of a request but 😭 if you could doodle toro inoue as zack fair i would be forever grateful 💗

It’s not strange at all! At first I was like who’s toro inoue until I googled it and oh my god it fits Zack so perfectly I love it! Thanks for requesting this ❤️ I also added a Sora Cloud as a bonus ;)))

[wowa-bublord]

You mentioned some of the characters in your AU are based on animals (Moth!Aerith is genius btw) What about Cloud? He feels to me like a Cat that knocks things off edges while making eye contact. But this is your AU and i wanna hear your thoughts.

YOU'RE SO RIGHT. cat cloud supremacy

tbh I don't really have an animal motif ironed out for cloud.. I get a kinda, Phoenix, falling star vibe from him, but those are harder to get across in his design.

[rottenpumpkin13]

Sephiroth is now hallucinating, and said hallucinations are ones where everyone looks like Hojo. Cloud looks like Hojo, Genesis looks like Hojo, Angeal looks like Hojo, etc.

How insane does shit get?

*Sephiroth tries to get to his office. He's furiously rubbing his eyes and trying to snap himself out of it. Zack and Angeal walk up to him*

Angeal: Sephiroth, look at Zack's new haircut and tells him he looks stupid.

Zack: I do not! The spikes are longer, it's cool.

Sephiroth, panicking: You look like Professor Hojo.

Zack:

Angeal: I told you so.

*Genesis taps Sephiroth on the shoulder*

Genesis: Hey, I have an experiment I want to try with you.

Sephiroth: NO. HOW DARE YOU DISTURB ME IN MY PLACE OF WORK.

*Sephiroth punches him in the face and runs off. Angeal is trying to cure Genesis's bloody nose*

Zack: If anyone needs me I'll be in the bathroom fitting a paper bag over my face.

Real answer:

• Sephiroth has a sleepless second half of the night after the first is plagued by nightmares where he's a child, back in the labs under Hojo's watch. Calling them "nightmares" would be kind, because they're all memories of things that did indeed happen in the past. The next day he's seeing the man's face everywhere, feeling his hands on him with every bump and touch. He's trying to calm himself down by knowing it's all his mind playing tricks on him, but it's no use. His sense of what's real and not is slipping away quickly as derealization grips him. He just has one annoying training session to evaluate in the Second Class's training room and then he can peacefully go back to his office. He's standing there, back leaned against the wall trying not to have a panic attack, his vision fading in and out of present reality and dipping into the past. And then it happens. Zack comes up to him to ask a question. When Sephiroth doesn't answer—and looks rather pale—Zack grows concerned and places his hand on Sephiroth's arm. Sephiroth snaps back into reality and hallucinates Professor Hojo in front of him, touching him. It all happens too quick for anyone to intervene. Sephiroth breaks Zack's arm before throwing him to the floor and attacking him. It takes almost all of the second class present to pull Sephiroth off of him. When he's held down, Sephiroth slips into a catatonic state where he's internally having a breakdown that needs attention fast. He's unpredictable, a danger both to himself and others. Zack is alright—for the most part. His injuries are grave but it's nothing that won't heal with time. Sephiroth is given temporary leave until his situation is under control. And there's only one place they can send him to that will understand exactly how to deal with his being—Professor Hojo.

a duck walked up to a carmen sandiego blog, and said to the folk running the blog:

"hey, got any headcanons for what music or artists CS characters listen to?"

(excuse my terrible joke. my friend already sent an anon ask abt this but since she has ADHD i'll do it again for her lol. thanks!)

Zack and Ivy listen to The Duck Song at full blast at 4am. Shadowsan considers rejoining VILE and Carmen is just incredibly confused

Please pretty please Momesis takes Zack, Cloud, and Kunsel to get new shoes--the only time moms encourage you to run inside

@strifesoldier | Cloud Strife sent;;

' You and me. Your body near mine, close. I'm not right when you're not with me. I get the shakes ' oop zack made him codependent...

Vulnerability, no matter how small or largely given, was always a difficult thing to express; Years of forcing himself into the mold of what Zack thought was the ideal hero only further forcing him to push the overwhelming desire to rely upon someone else to the back of his mind. Being relied upon was the closest he'd ever come to sharing a vulnerable moment with anyone and it was something he cherished far more than even his own life. That much so had never been in the question though, only further proven with each moment where he took a beating to protect those he cared for most, often coming as victorious in each battle he'd carelessly chosen for himself.

Perhaps it was the hubris of a man who has lost damn near everything already or maybe it was just the delusion of someone who had grown lonely over the years, someone who felt as though nobody bothered to know who he was outside of his uniform and rank; At least not until after he'd managed to establish a connection with another person for the first time since... ( Nevermind. ) Zack has come to rely upon being needed, feeling helpful and he's long since found that purpose at the side of his blonde companion. While he'd known that Cloud was capable of taking care of himself well enough, he also couldn't scratch the desperate itch to feel helpful, to do more than just stand beside the other man silently like some brooding shadow.

Though that's what he's become, hasn't he? Bitter and violent should he feel it necessary to be so, a trained killer unafraid of ripping and rending through flesh that managed to be snagged within the maws of an enraged beast, many saw the once proud warrior as nothing more than a monster as of late; A creature that thrived on combat and the destruction of the very people that made him into who he was today, but not Cloud, never Cloud apparently. Lips curl into a gentle grin at the idea, he was helpful to someone at the very least, even if he'd grown all too protective throughout their time beside one another and perhaps he cared far more than the average friend should have, but then again; Average friends don't go through the same horrors as the duo had to endure together. That's how Zack justified it, anyways.

A rabid guard dog trapped in an endless loop of biting despite never wanting to bring harm to those unfortunate to cross into Zack's poor graces, a feature of which was far easier done than said given how low his tolerance for anyone daring to cause problems for either Cloud or himself truly had become. That dependency, as it seems to be, is reciprocated. Though that hardly came as much of a surprise, being without the blonde felt off, something so viscerally incorrect that his very being often trembled with wrath when the two were separated for too long and the verbal confirmation he wasn't the only one to experience that... ( Validating, freeing even. )

“ And here I was, stewing about whether I'm being overbearing towards you. ” He huffs out, amusement glimmering within mako stained eyes; An odd calmness kept Zack completely and uncharacteristically still. At times such as this, he'd often be pacing or doing squats, clears his mind and allows the former SOLDIER to focus on his surroundings but instead he simply sat, jaw twitching while his tongue feels at the sharp canines meant for rending through his foes and that familiar emptiness he'd been so prone to slowly seeps in. “ I'm always here though, always nearby until you tell me to go away and mean it, I promise. ”

Heya! I have midterms this week (wish me luck), can I ask for some floof head canons to give me energy?

I'm okay if you want to keep it in the omegaverse au or not, also good with ags and bc (and anything you'd like to add)

Thank youuu, hope you're doing good

omg i wish you best of luck anon! i really hope all goes well! :)

heres a few of the softest/most domestic headcanons that come to mind:

(mostly asg but there is one zc too)

- genesis has a secret stash of stuffed animals, including his favorite thats a little grey cat he's had for a long time that he calls "sephy", and he refuses to let sephiroth find out about it. only angeal knows about it, and he teases genesis about "sephy" whenever he sees it but he has also promised to keep genesis' secret, partially because they have a deal that if angeal keeps "sephy" a secret, genesis won't tell zack about the time angeal absolutely gushed, and even got emotional about how proud he was of zack when zack got promoted to first (it was angeal's proudest "fatherly" mentor moment)

- the first time cloud brought zack home to meet his mom, he was incredibly nervous about how it would go, and even zack was a little nervous about making a good impression, but as soon as claudia saw them together and saw how zack treated cloud, she instantly loved zack and welcomed zack as a part of the family, treating him like a son and even giving zack her blessing to marry cloud in the future. not to mention that claudia also felt it necessary to start telling zack every single embarrassing moment in cloud's childhood, which zack found absolutely adorable, but poor cloud could only sit there in horror

- before asg went public with their relationship, the three of them, mainly genesis though, would always find ways to sneak small kisses and whisper soft "i love you"s to each other in the minuscule timeframes between their public appearances, which nearly led to them being caught numerous times. and whenever they had public appearances as a group, like interviews and whatnot, they would always do things like link their pinkies together under a table or just out of view of the cameras, or they would "accidentally" brush the back of their hands together, just doing anything they could to be as close as possible in public without being caught

- sometimes angeal will get cold since he's the only one who doesn't have a coat as part of his uniform, so genesis will lend angeal his coat, but not without teasingly "scolding" angeal the way he knows angeal would scold him or sephiroth if they were in the same position, almost as payback for all the times angeal has scolded them over small things

- on rare occasions, sephiroth will be in a very specific clingy mood where he wants nothing more than to just cuddle or be cuddled by genesis and angeal, but he never voices his desires, not really knowing how to. although despite sephiroth never saying anything, genesis and angeal are somehow always able to tell what sephiroth wants, always being able to notice the tiniest of subtle hints and differences in sephiroth's behavior, and they always find it to be the cutest thing ever, and never hesitate to give sephiroth what he wants
