what my wife and i have managed to notice over our time playing through ff7 is that it seems like in this universe men just don't pass genes to their children

at first it started with Claudia and Cloud, when my wife said that "there's no father in this man" and upon further research it seems to be the case for every character whose parents are in the game (so they can be compared). it seems like no matter the gender of a character, they bear resemblance exclusively to their mothers.

Aerith looks like Ifalna, Sephiroth looks like Lucrecia, Cloud looks like Claudia.

Tifa looks nothing like Brian, Rufus looks nothing like his dad, Sephiroth looks nothing like Hojo, Yuffie probably won't end up looking like Godo neither.

i’ve been thinking about ff7s theme of parents and children……every main character except cid has a parent and/or child relation. i really want to draw all of the main gang with their parents/children!

Tifa-watching her important people die (or thought to be dead) in front of her.

thinking about final fantasy vii dads today...

cloud and tifa have a weird thing going with their parents, where cloud lost his dad very young/didn't grow up with his dad, only living with claudia, and tifa has the exact opposite, where her mom died when she was young (leading to the og nibelheim incident /hj) and she grew up mostly with brian, until both claudia and brian died in the (second) nibelheim incident.

brian lockhart was obviously very protective of tifa, not wanting her to go up mount nibel in the first place with sephiroth, zack, and cloud to check on the reactor. then he died in front of her up in the reactor a week later...

while barret doesn't talk about his parents, he is a dad, and he sure has complicated feelings about that!! what with dyne being his best friend, and myrna not being able to be there with him, caring for marlene through all that loss must be crazy.

aerith's dad literally helped create sephiroth. professor gast was a craaazy dude lowkey. and he's so irrelevant in her life it kills me a little. i hope we see gast in pt. 3. and tell him his daughter is fuckin' dead.

nanaki has a weird thing with seto, too, where he believed him to be a coward, just to learn that in all actuallity, seto sacrificed the life he could have had with his wife and nanaki to protect cosmo canyon, so nanaki wouldn't feel the need to make a similiar, self-sacrificing choice.

yuffie and godo... her anger at him in the remake trilogy has me hooked. sonon seemed to think he was a great guy, and yuffie adamantly argued the opposite. i cannot WAIT to see him in pt. 3. i cannot wait to find out what is going on. she hates him so much right now, for the sake of her country.

does cid have a dad thing? ...i don't think so. neither does reeve/cait sith... well. i didn't forget them. they're mentioned.

vincent and grimoire... another thing i hope they explore in pt. 3... or in a DoC remake (PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REMAKE IT.) the literal 4 minutes of grimoire screentime that explains absolutely nothing about their relationship, or grimoire's research, or... ANYTHING. i'm so. curious. he came in, flirted with lucrecia, and died. ARGH TELL ME MORE!!!

also, not a party member, but the whole "president shinra having multiple illegitimate sons" thing always makes me hate that guy a little more. lazard and evan i love you guys. rufus i love you too but your daddy issues are a different flavor.

Albus Dumbledore only hired people that entertained him by watching how they can't deal with teachers or students, this was his trash tv, he lived for drama. Minnie was hired before he became headmaster, this is why she's the only sane one.

Claudia x Aya - younger Cloud AU headcanons

So recently I wrote a post about how Aya would probably be a good mom for Cloud if she had met Claudia when he was younger and I'd like to elaborate on that with some au headcanons. All of it ties to my otp, related fics and these Claudia Strife headcanons I wrote a few days back, so you can expect me mentioning Claudia's friendship with Thea, her falling out with Brian, Cloud probably coming out as a trans woman in the future and all the fic stuff. It's a huge divergence from the canon to say the least.

Also from now on if I mention "the canon", I mean my canon universe, not the FFVII canon.

I don't really have any intention writing something serious for such an au, though. Just thinking about it and writing headcanons is fun so here we are.

---

I'd like Aya to be of the same age when she met Claudia in my canon - 25 - and it would be good for them to have a well-established relationship before Tifa's accident. If Cloud was, for example, 6 years old, Claudia would be 23, making her the younger one in the relationship this time around. Three years before the accident is more than enough time for them to become inseparable.

Also while Aya would be the older one, it'd still be Claudia that's more emotionally mature due to their difference in experiences. Aya is a really introverted person, traumatized by her family and following the path that was forcibly chosen for her. And while Claudia had her son at a really young age, with her husband and parents dying soon after, she still seems to be the more stable one. All of this would remain true for the au as well.

The reasons for them meeting (taking census, the first real date during Aya's annual leave, her extended stay during the sick leave) would stay the same.

For their second meeting, aside from buying Claudia her necklace like in the canon, she could get Cloud a cute plushie (possibly a yellow chocobo, since she herself noticed that he looks like a chocobo, even in one of my fics)

Thanks to Aya being on Shinra's payroll, Cloud would probably end up having a bit more toys in general, since whenever she would get something for Claudia, he would get something from her too.

While in the canon, they had limited time for dates in Claudia's household, due to the Nibelheim Incident, now it would be years away if possible at all. That would mean a lot more visits before Aya would decide to live with them. The young family could visit Aya in Midgar as well, where she could show them around and let them see the difference in their lives. They could even go somewhere for vacation.

Eventually, Aya would quit her job anyway, since she never actually liked working at Shinra. She would move in with her new family, already largely adjusted to their lives due to her multiple stays at their house.

While Aya didn't ever want to have kids, being with Claudia and an adorable child like Cloud would sweeten the idea. She ends up really liking him in my canon anyway.

She would be a lovely mom to Cloud, though she would obviously have a lot to learn, with her own family giving her nothing but trauma and her daily life being kinda messy in general up until this point. And while she's much more reserved than Claudia, she would do her best to let Cloud know that she has his back and that he has a friend in her.

Having a second mom around (instead of a potential dad), a person similar to him in personality at that, would make Cloud warm up to Aya rather quick and they would start getting along and hopefully sharing hobbies. Since I always imagined Cloud being a momma's boy and treating Claudia not only as a mother figure, but also his best friend, especially after the whole thing with Tifa, befriending Aya shouldn't be an issue!

While in the canon they already had few undisclosed encounters with some of the townsfolk during their walks and shopping, since Claudia would never shy away from showing her partner around, I can imagine many more interesting scenarios with them in regards to both women being queer (and Cloud having two moms etc). Some of them might end up being a bit negative though, but I imagine some of the friendlier faces being supportive of Claudia. Thea's and Tifa's reactions would be interesting too, since to me Claudia and Thea were friends since forever, while Tifa would be a lesbian in the making at this point.

Cloud would probably have it much easier after Tifa's accident, since he would have both women standing up for him and providing him with emotional support. With Aya being already very attached to her new family and having no previous ties to the village, she might be able to actually blow up in anger even better than Claudia did at Brian while defending her son. This can happen with multiple townsfolk and might either improve their situation or not help at all depending on how she does. Still, the effort would be made.

Still, it's highly possible that during the whole thing with Tifa, both women would be considering moving out of Nibelheim at some point. Cloud wouldn't probably want to leave Tifa in spite of not being allowed to see her and Aya wouldn't see herself going back to Midgar. Claudia probably prefers a simpler life as well, at least with Cloud still being little. In the end the women would decide to stay in Nibelheim and give it another chance, especially since together they should be a bit more resilient to the potential shunning.

With other women of Nibelheim fulfilling Thea's role in teaching Tifa useful household stuff, Aya might be able to convince Brian to let her teach his daughter some things herself and maybe that way reconnect her with both Claudia and Cloud.

With Aya's help and her past experience at Shinra, Claudia would end up looking at the company much less positively. In the end, the women could be able to talk Cloud out of joining SOLDIER. And if Aya's efforts to reconnect Tifa with them worked, Cloud probably wouldn't even feel the need to prove himself that hard. And while Claudia wouldn't end up alone anyway, since she would have Aya, I think we can all agree that leaving for Midgar didn't do Cloud any favors.

And since such a canon divergence might be the "time traveler moves the chair" kind of situation, that might mean that there wouldn't be any Nibelheim Incident to begin with, since any operation in Crisis Core where Cloud was originally involved, might result in a completely different outcome. That could mean them all staying at Cloud's hometown along with Tifa, but that's a bit of a reach and the possibilities would be infinite at this point.

Also they might actually move out at some point. If the Nibelheim Incident would still happen, I would just make them somehow survive, like I did the first time around (I should post the damn fic already).

Oh and maybe Cloud would be more eager to come out with two lovely gay moms around... you know... as a trans girl she is ;*

Pirati! Brignati da strapazzo

Benvenuti o bentornati sul nostro blog. Nello scorso articolo abbiamo fatto una piccola pausa dal mondo del cinema per parlare di fumetti e siamo andati avanti con la saga fantasy italiana di Kayla, arrivando al suo 13° volume. Il morbo pallido a Horbur è stato debellato ma il gruppo si è sciolto e ora sono rimasti solo Leena e Tagh. Leena viene nominata Alto Alchimista per l’impresa svolta e…

If Thea and Brian had a normal life, they'd absolutely have another child. Tifa is born to be a big sister.

Hangmen Also Die

Because we were at war with Germany, Bertolt Brecht was credited with the less Teutonic “Bert” for Fritz Lang’s HANGMEN ALSO DIE (1943, TCM, Hulu, Prime, Tubi, YouTube). He was only credited for co-writing the story with Lang, though later scholars have suggested he had much more influence over the writing than previously thought. Shot when the public had no knowledge of who had killed Reinhard Heydrich, the Nazi’s commander in Bohemia and Moravia (now the Czech Republic), the film ascribes the assassination to a Czech doctor (Brian Donlevy) who’s unwittingly helped in his initial escape by the requisite sweet young thing (Anna Lee). When the Nazis fail to find the killer, they take hundreds of Czechs hostage, including Lee’s father (Walter Brennan), and start executing them until the killer comes forth.

There are lengthy discussions of whether Donlevy should sacrifice himself to save the hostages that smack of Brechtian philosophizing, particularly since there’s no right answer. There are also places where the Resistance is shown to be almost as ruthless as their occupiers, particularly a scene in which a crowd tries to stop Lee from going to the Gestapo with what she knows. But there are also a lot of complications involving Lee’s fiancé (Dennis O’Keefe), who thinks she’s having an affair with Donlevy, that reek of Hollywood. Fortunately, whenever the action flags, there’s a Lang touch — a quirk or gesture that gives a minor character more of an identity, rapid cutting to capture the plot’s repercussions on the city, a murder committed in silence and depicted through details— to liven things up.

Lee is lovely, as usual. She’s both natural and committed. Donlevy has good moments but suffers in the debate scenes, where he doesn’t seem to know what to do. The film also has strong support from Brennan along with Nana Bryant as his wife, Margaret Wycherly as his sister, Gene Lockhart as a Nazi informant, Alexander Granach as head of the Gestapo, Jonathan Hale and Byron Foulger as Resistance leaders and Lionel Stander as a Resistance fighter. German actor Hans Heinrich von Twardowski only has a few moments as Heydrich, but his body language as he sadistically dominates his underlings provides everything you need to understand the monster who helped craft the Final Solution. James Wong Howe did the cinematography and captures some wonderfully stark black-and-white images. And Brecht’s frequent collaborator, Hans Eisler did the effective score, including music for a Resistance song that runs through the film’s latter half.

Co-writer John Wexley appealed to the Writer’s Guild for sole credit and won, although at least one member of the jury called him a “credit-stealer” and said he’d only won on a technicality. Years later, HUAC labeled the film Communist propaganda, and its sole credited screenwriter was blacklisted. I think there’s a moral there somewhere.
