The Evil Sephiroth Mindset

This is an explanation of how I personally have to think when writing for Sephiroth post Nibelheim. It can also be used as a personality study.

Sephiroth, post Nibelhiem, only cares about three things: his goal of conquering other worlds, his reunion with Mother, and Cloud. Cloud killed him. Cloud is the only person left on the planet with such precise and accurate memories that he will always be Sephiroth's ticket back to The Planet's surface. Cloud is a tool. Cloud should not be killed unless their victory is absolute, but should always be made to suffer in this world or in the Lifestream.

Mother's goal is obvious. Mother's goal is true. There is no explanation, no lie or full truth that will change Sephiroth's mind. This Planet will be his, as will the next, and the next. Jenova will remain at his side for all eternity. No string of logic or emotion will change this.

No one beyond Mother and Cloud are worth his time. There is not a single person on this planet that should pretend to be worthy of his attention. They are lucky to be ants crushed beneath his feet. They should be grateful for the world he will create. All will die, and the only people allowed to live until The Planet is claimed are the ones closest to Cloud, only to bring the blond despair when they die before his eyes.

Sephiroth is greater, better, than anything in this universe with Mother at his side. Nothing will ever separate them if the Reunion is complete. The planets they will create are their greatest pride, if they can only defeat the inferior rats always toppling their plans in the last possible moment. Nothing brings him greater rage than that fact.

Speaking of rage, Sephiroth's is rarely seen. It is possible but incredibly difficult to make him snap, and even then it's usually one precise strike that silences opposition and rebellion. The only other emotion that matters is his love for his mother.

No one will ever take that away.

Not after Nibelheim.

Not after the truth.

There was a time you longed for people to love you. You prayed that they'd see or hear you. You wished they could see the depth, truth, and message in front of them. Their words, actions, and mindsets pushed you away, but you always pulled yourself back. You made excuses like: "But I love her/him/them" "But that's family" "But they've been in my life for so long" Until you finally told yourself "I can't." There are some pains, tactics, and revelations you can't bounce back from or unsee - so you don't. You just never come back. To the person that has removed themselves from that group, friendship, or relationship - trust and believe that sometimes the right decision doesn't always feel good and is seldom understood by the masses. Choose your peace, well-being, and self-love anyway. Some road are difficult to leave behind but destructive to stay on.

i don't think you guys understand how much a "quantity over quality" mindset mixed with an "all or nothing" mindset can be damaging to the whole purpose of enjoying your life

Change

If we want to change and grow, we need to leave our old habits, mindsets, and behaviors so as to be free to go wherever we want and deserve.

 Last month I was able to get my hands on a copy of a book I have wanted to read for a very long time. “ The Artists Guide to Sketching” by James Gurney and Thomas Kinkade

 Both authors are well known artists with James Gurney being best known for his “Dinotopia” books, and Thomas Kinkade for his prints.

 I had heard it was a must read for anyone wanting to up their sketching game, That was indeed correct.

 The book covers sketching exercises, mindsets, techniques, and more. It is one of the most in-depth sketching books I have ever read.

 Someone watching you sketch? Here is how to deal with it !

 Weather issues? Here is how to deal with it!

 Are you a hobo looking for shelter and food? Yep kinda covers that too (Seriously)

The techniques sections have taught me a lot that other books on sketching I have read have not. For example how to create semi accurate perspective lines with no rulers.

There are lessons on how to take photographs with your mind, and how to observe a subject most effectively.

 There is a section on how to change what you see to better fit what you want to draw. How to pick the mood you want.

 The emphasis is on sketching both from life and the mind with a lesson on things not having to be fully exactly what you see (go ahead throw a dragon into the empire state building it will be fun!).

 All and all I learned quite a bit from this book and I will probably read it again just for inspiration! I would recommend this book if you can get your hands on it.

STRINGED ALONG

In the symphony of life, where every moment carries its own melody, we often find ourselves entangled in the delicate strings that weave the narrative of our existence. Life is a tapestry woven with countless threads, each representing a moment, a decision, or an encounter. Much like the strings of a musical instrument, these threads are interconnected, resonating with the highs and lows of our…

In my insecurities I coasted on overcompensation, perfection, and people pleasing. In my iniquities I carried shame, regret, and anger. In my infuriation I bottled rage, strife, and bitterness that hurt me more than it could ever hurt anyone else. In my ignorance I held on to people, mindsets, and environments that were familiar but were leading me to failure and frustration.

The Bronx Zoo has just released Flaco's necropsy results.

He was not thriving, as the people championing the ideal of "freedom" claimed.

He was poisoned.

He was sick.

He was suffering.

"Freedom" would have eventually killed him. A building just happened to do it first.

"Postmortem testing has been completed for Flaco, the Eurasian eagle owl that was found down in the courtyard of a Manhattan building a little over a year after his enclosure at the Central Park Zoo was vandalized on February 2, 2023. Onlookers reported that Flaco had flown into a building on the Upper West Side of Manhattan on February 23, 2024, and acute trauma was found at necropsy. Bronx Zoo veterinary pathologists determined that in addition to the traumatic injuries, Flaco had two significant underlying conditions. He had a severe pigeon herpesvirus from eating feral pigeons that had become part of his diet, and exposure to four different anticoagulant rodenticides that are commonly used for rat control in New York City. These factors would have been debilitating and ultimately fatal, even without a traumatic injury, and may have predisposed him to flying into or falling from the building. The identified herpesvirus can be carried by healthy pigeons but may cause fatal disease in birds of prey including owls infected by eating pigeons. This virus has been previously found in New York City pigeons and owls. In Flaco’s case, the viral infection caused severe tissue damage and inflammation in many organs, including the spleen, liver, gastrointestinal tract, bone marrow, and brain.   No other contributing factors were identified through the extensive testing that was performed. Flaco’s severe illness and death are ultimately attributed to a combination of factors—infectious disease, toxin exposures, and traumatic injuries—that underscore the hazards faced by wild birds, especially in an urban setting."

The naturalistic fallacy kills animals in horrible ways. The romanticism of what humans want to think of as a "free, wild, pure life" cannot be allowed supplant the reality of injury, sickness, and death. Releasing captive animals (or keeping them from being recaptured) because it's "better" for them to suffer untethered than live a healthy, safe, captive life is inhumane and horrific.

Flaco's life didn't have to end in pain, sickness, and suffering.

Flaco's death didn't have to be tragic.

But once the idea of "freedom" entered the chat, Flaco's fate was unavoidable.

Fortress of Prosperity — Shaping a Sustainable Future

We stand at a pivotal juncture, where the threads of architectural ingenuity, financial prudence, robust defense, and enduring legacies intertwine to weave the tapestry of our future world. In this transformative era, our decisions in design, security, and wealth distribution hold immense weight, shaping the inheritance we bequeath to generations to come.

Consider the grand tapestry of history woven by civilizations past. Within its threads lie the imprints of architectural marvels, fortifications, and financial systems designed not only for the present but as guardians of legacy.

Architectural strategies play a pivotal role in crafting a world where wealth and defense reign supreme. Imagine structures fortified against external threats, embodying resilience and safeguarding prosperity. Think of financial architectures fostering equitable wealth distribution, ensuring stability and prosperity for all.

In this context, the importance of these strategies becomes apparent. They serve as bulwarks against uncertainties, providing security in an ever-changing landscape. They become the cornerstone of a legacy, ensuring that the values, strengths, and aspirations of a society endure beyond their time.

The legacies we leave behind are not merely tangible assets; they encompass the values, traditions, and aspirations that define our collective identity. By nurturing our cultural heritage, preserving our natural environment, and fostering a spirit of innovation, we can shape a brighter tomorrow for generations to come.

Rather than domination and conquest, creating a fortress of prosperity and growth is a fascinating notion. To foster a citadel that elevates communities and economies rather than subjugating them, several strategies come to mind …

Economic Empowerment — Establish trade partnerships and economic alliances that benefit all involved parties. Encourage fair trade practices, investments in local industries, and the development of sustainable economic infrastructures.

Cultural Exchange and Education — Promote cultural understanding and exchange of knowledge. Invest in education initiatives that focus on fostering critical thinking, innovation, and collaboration rather than indoctrination or control.

Technological Innovation — Lead in technological advancements that benefit humanity. Invest in research and development that aims to improve living standards, healthcare, and environmental sustainability globally.

Diplomacy and Cooperation — Prioritise diplomacy and cooperation over coercion. Build bridges through dialogue, negotiations, and cooperative efforts on global issues such as climate change, poverty alleviation, and human rights.

Supporting Local Governance — Empower local governments and communities to govern themselves effectively. Provide resources, training, and support to ensure fair governance, human rights, and the rule of law.

Environmental Sustainability — Champion sustainable practices to protect the environment. Encourage initiatives that prioritise conservation, renewable energy, and responsible resource management.

By focusing on these strategies, the citadel could become a beacon of progress and prosperity, attracting global admiration and collaboration rather than fear and opposition.

A fortress built on mutual growth, respect, and shared prosperity could indeed shape a new paradigm of world leadership.

What would you do otherwise if you were King? How do we strike the balance between defense and accessibility? What architectural designs ensure both protection and inclusivity? How can wealth be amassed and distributed ethically to ensure a sustainable and lasting legacy?

Let's engage in a discourse that probes these questions. What do you believe are the pivotal architectural strategies necessary to fortify a world where wealth and defense hold paramount importance? How can these strategies effectively preserve a legacy worth inheriting? Your thoughts and critical insights hold the keys to shaping your future world.

Your comments will reflect on your leadership skills, and how consciousness unfolds within.
