okay but percy calling the minotaur 'ground beef' is so diabolical. because imagine being the well-known. undefeatable. half-bull half-man. seven foot tall monster. prancing around in your fanciest fruit of the loom tighty whities. and this twelve year old. with no objective experience in swordfighting. whose mom you just violently squished to death. calls you a feast for carnivores. the important part of a taco. the beef of the wellington. i would have gave up.
No clue about you guys but headcanoning Zane as like 6'7" is really fuckin' fun cuz like imagine Dr. Julien designing him and going "Ykw I'm gonna make my son the tallest mf anyone's ever seen." And actually going through with it.
Every time we joke about Sephiroth not knowing crass slang, I’m like “Hahaha yes this is joke” but then I remember that this kid….
LITERALLY DIDN’T KNOW THAT WHISTLING TO ROUND PEOPLE UP WAS A RUDE GESTURE FDGBHJS
I shouldn’t laugh because it’s horrible and clearly Hojo didn’t teach him how to socialize normally, but it’s funny how the “not being familiar with crass slang” thing would probably have been pretty accurate actually. He’s apparently suuuper polite speech-wise in the Japanese translation as a kid, but not as formal in CC, so hopefully Gen and Angeal taught him slang and whatever else.
You hardly glance up, but when he clears his throat and taps his foot, you give him a small lift of your head.
“What’s this?”
“A key.”
You blink. “To what.”
“My apartment.”
Finally, you lift it from where it rests. It’s nothing special— an ordinary gold key, looks new from the look of it. You flip it, looking for any inscription that will give you more clues. Nothing.
You feel your brow twitch. “But your apartment has swipe access?”
Satoru sighs dramatically. “Yeah. I know. But I wanted this to be more momentous than sending you an email.”
