What are AGSZC biggest fears?

Sephiroth: Being used by Hojo, being lied to, being betrayed, losing people he cares about, never finding out the truth about his mother, becoming a monster like the ones Hojo kept in glass cells that he'd walk past as a child and hope to never have to fight. Oh! And Angeal's "you're in big trouble" stare. He's fought wars, yet nothing instills fear quite like the sentence: "Sephiroth, come here and sit down." He'd rather fight Ifrit naked.

Genesis: That his body will betray him. He was such a sickly child that it's only natural. He fears it wearing down, breaking apart mid-battle, mid-sentence, mid-sonnet. That one day the words won't be enough to keep him aloft, that his glory will dim and there will be no encore and no blessing from the goddess to keep him alive.

Angeal: Hunger. Not just missing lunch, but real hunger. He has anxiety-induced visions of bare cupboards , rations drying up, mother skipping meals again so he can eat. He knows he's at a completely different point in his life now, but he's still that little boy worried about making a name for himself so he can give his parents a comfortable life.

Zack: Tonberries. Or more specifically, a ten-foot Tonberry in a maid outfit chasing him through a haunted house while wielding a ladle and whispering "You dropped this, Mr. Fair…" Also his underlying fear that he's actually not enough to save and care for the people he loves and that they'll all die one day because he couldn't be the hero they needed him to be because he's just a backwater kid from Gongaga who's only ever been good with a sword and sometimes the sword feels like it'll be the thing that grants him a premature death. But mostly the Tonberry.

Cloud: Public speaking. Eye contact. Accidentally opening up and getting attached and liking it.

Decomposition Versus Dissolution: The Breakdown of Bodies in Final Fantasy VII

Warnings for discussion of death, dead bodies, and the desecration thereof, as well as references to digestive and gastrointestinal processes including illness. Features images of dead fictional characters and spoilers for basically the entire Compilation.

This is something I've been chewing on for quite a while, and this post is a bit of a doozy because of detailed examples cited to indicate support for this interpretation. It doesn't work 100% of the time, but it's consistent enough that I'm comfortable personally accepting it as accurate enough, and talking with @skadren about it earlier gave me the impetus to finally organize it well enough to put out into the public sphere. Consider this my personal standard model of Gaian decomposition—if and when we get a better canonical explanation, I'll take it, but for now this works for me, so maybe it'll work for you too!

In the world of Final Fantasy VII, there are four possible outcomes after the death of an animal lifeform:

Decomposition – Organic breakdown of physical remains over time after death, as seen in the real world.

Dissolution – The energetic breakdown of physical remains at the moment of death.

Delayed Dissolution – The sudden energetic breakdown of physical remains at some point after the moment of death, prior to the onset of traditional decomposition.

Rejection – Cases in which the remains neither decompose nor dissolve, physical remains left intact and energetic remains unabsorbed by the Lifestream.

Floral and fungal life appear to be subject only to decomposition, while the outcomes for native microbial and viral lifeforms are unknown. This piece considers all fiends, even those with characteristics similar to floral lifeforms, to be animals, although it's more likely that fiends in-universe comprise their own unique clade on the tree of life.

There's very little information within canonical lore to even directly imply the determining factors for any given outcome, but we can gain insight on these factors by noting when and where a given outcome occurs.

We do have to accept that some instances are based entirely on game mechanics rather than on any lore, as sometimes the field needs to be cleared in order to maintain the gameplay experience, but the fact that we see all of these in cutscenes through the series make it clear that it isn't only a game mechanic.

Based on known instances, prerequisites appear to be as follows:

Decomposition occurs in lifeforms with no or low mako exposure, or with a unique connection to the planet. These remains are able to rot naturally, as that's the most effective way for their remains to feed Gaia's life cycle, helping to "feed" the planet physically as well as energetically. If we consider the reabsorption of living things in terms of digestion, this would be equivalent to consumption of a so-called "whole food." We can assume this is the case based on the existence of livestock within the FF7 universe, and the known canonical instances of this outcome:

• Ifalna – body dissected by Hojo. (source: FF7R)

• Seto – body petrified and intact in Cosmo Canyon (source: OG, FF7R, OTWTAS)

• Aerith Gainsborough – body put to rest in water. (source: OG, AC)

• Dyne – body buried by Dio. (source: FF7R)

• Melphie Kusakabe – body found by Sonon. (source: FF7R)

• Kalm and Nibelheim locals – bodies used in experimentation. (source: OG, BC)

• North Corel and Gongaga locals – bodies buried by other residents. (source: OG, FF7R)

• Wutaian NPCs – bodies found outside Nibel Reactor. (source: FF7R)

• Rhadoran NPCs – bodies buried by Sephiroth. (source: FF7EC)

• Mr. and Mrs. Rhapsodos – bodies buried by Genesis. (source: CCFF7)

• Unnamed Turks – bodies buried by Genesis. (source: CCFF7)

• Most non-fiend animals – The presence of meat makes this pretty obvious. (source: OG, FF7R)

Dissolution occurs in lifeforms with moderate to high mako exposure, presumably due to energetic destabilization at the point of death rendering the remains much easier for the planet to reabsorb. Following the same digestion comparison as above, this is similar to the human body's accelerated processing of refined sugars as compared to raw sugars or whole foods. This also appears to occur based on the will of the planet, but the these cases are extremely rare, with only one known occurrence.

We can assume this is accurate based on the following known instances:

• Grimoire Valentine – body began to dissolve while still alive but actively dying, disintegrating entirely at the moment of death. May be a special case due to cause of death. (source: DCFF7)

• Lazard Deusericus – body dissolved at the moment of death. (source: CCFF7)

• Secondary Project G Subjects – bodies most often seen to dissolve at the moment of death in both gameplay and cutscenes, except in rare cases discussed below. (source: CCFF7, DCFF7)

• Midgar locals – implied by the dramatic lack of corpses following the Sector 7 plate drop. (source: FF7R)

• Shinra employees – implied by the dramatic lack of corpses following Zack's last stand, as well as the presence of equipment but no bodies in Nero's training room. (source: OG, CCFF7, FF7R)

• Various fiends – shown to occur in both gameplay and cutscenes. (source: CCFF7, DCFF7, FF7R, FF7EC)

• Kadaj – body began to dissolve while still alive but actively dying. Dissolution appears to have been based on the will of the planet rather than energetic instability. (source: AC)

Delayed dissolution occurs when the remains have been subject to certain types or levels of energetic corruption, even when paired with high levels of mako exposure. This appears to occur either due to an inability for the planet to reabsorb the remains immediately, or because of a partial rejection from the Lifestream.

Energetic corruption in the world of FF7 is stored in the Void and eventually consumed by Chaos, as shown in Dirge of Cerberus; it's safe to assume that these delays occur due to Chaos being more or less unavailable during the course of known canon, having been removed from its post in the mid-1970s and hosted in Vincent Valentine's body in the early 1980s. This explains the growing pollution of the Lifestream during the course of canon, as the planet's primary filtration system is missing or damaged until after Omega's premature awakening, but the energy in question is still compatible with the Lifestream to a high enough degree to eventually be reabsorbed.

Following the digestion metaphor established earlier, this would be similar to eating heavily processed or partially spoiled food with a damaged gut biome, leading to slow digestion, discomfort, and eventual illness.

These cases are slightly more difficult to confirm, but are proven to occur via cutscenes and narrative in the following instances:

• Zack Fair – body persisted long enough for Cloud to collect himself and leave after a year of catatonia, but neither present at later visits to the location nor indicated in any source to have been recovered following his last stand. Shown to have been "taken" by Angeal, although this may have been strictly thematic. (source: OG, CCFF7)

• Angeal Hewley – confirmed by Hojo's statement via mission brief that his body was not recovered, in spite of having persisted after death in Modeoheim. (source: CCFF7)

• Gillian Hewley – unconfirmed but presumable based on the persistence of her body during the razing of Banora and the delayed dissolution of all primary and some secondary Project G subjects. (source: CCFF7, FF7EC)

• Professor Hojo – as shown in the screenshot at the top of this section. (source: DCFF7)

• Lucrecia Crescent – indicated by her body's persistence even as her energetic remains have been slowly eroded by the Lifestream over time, even after her initial rejection from the Lifestream similar to discussion below. (source: OG, DCFF7)

• Secondary Project G Subjects – most notably a handful of Copies from both Genesis and Angeal. This may be based on their manner of death, as Copies killed in the presence of Sephiroth seem to persist for a time, while those killed elsewhere do not. (source: CCFF7)

• DeepGround SOLDIERS – shown to leave corpses persistently enough for Nero to play with them in order to scare his opponents, but indicated to eventually dissolve based on the presence of damaged gear but lack of corpses in Nero's training room. (source: DCFF7, FF7R)

• Various fiends – shown to occur in gameplay and cutscenes. (source: CCFF7, FF7R, FF7EC)

• Various NPCs – energetically only, shown to be incapable of disseminating into the Lifestream after death due to some polluting action or affect applied during life. Should not be confused with rejection, discussed below, as the energetic remains of these lifeforms will eventually dissolve properly. (source: DCFF7, OTWTAS)

Rejection is the most rare outcome following death, at least with regard to physical bodies; energetic rejection is slightly more common by volume, but only because of one very large group energetically rejected by the Lifestream at a point several thousand years pre-canon.

Rejection is only indicated to occur for one of two reasons:

Incompatibility with the Lifestream itself.

The will of the planet based on necessity.

In cases of incompatibility, it's similar to the concept of mixing oil and water, two materials that will always eventually separate if not subjected to a chemical change to allow incorporation. With regards to the will of the planet, this occurs when the subject in question is integral to the continued functioning of the planet itself, and can't be allowed to remain physically decomposed or to energetically disseminate. To complete the metaphor of consumption and digestion, rejection via incompatibility would be instances of eating materials that can't be digested and should be ejected from the body, while rejection due to planetary processes is similar to swallowing something important and intentionally inducing vomiting in order to reclaim the item in question.

There are only six known cases of complete rejection, and one population-wide case of strictly energetic rejection:

• Jenova – complete rejection, body in usable condition with will intact even thousands of years after death. Remains persist in usable condition even years after destruction of main portion just prior to Meteorfall. Rejection appears to be caused by incompatibility due to extraterrestrial origin, as most individuals with Jenova infection, even severe cases, are eventually capable of dissolution to some degree. (source: OG, AC, FF7R)

• Sephiroth – complete rejection, body mostly intact and will fully intact five years after his death in the Nibelheim Incident, with will remaining energetically active even after final destruction of body. Body also capable of being reconstituted based on force of will. Rejection presumed to be caused by incompatibility due to Jenova's extraterrestrial origins. (source: OG, AC, FF7R, OTWTAS)

• Vincent Valentine – complete rejection, body regenerates and reconstitutes after death on multiple occasions. Originally serving as host to Chaos—a Weapon—the powers bestowed by this role persist even after its consciousness returns to the planet, proven by Vincent's return to form in Chaos' cave following complete physiological destruction during his last stand to stop Omega. This repeated rejection from the Lifestream, both physically and energetically, implies Vincent's position postcanon is that of Chaos' successor, not its container, rendering him integral to planetary processes. (source: OG, AC, DCFF7, OTWTAS)

• Cloud Strife – complete rejection, rejected from the Lifestream and healed of mortal wounds and illness multiple times. Rather than being due to incompatibility based on his S-cell infection, Cloud's rejections being fairly gentle—similar to Vincent's—seems to imply he's integral to planetary processes, presumably due to his unique ability to subdue Sephiroth. (source: OG, AC)

• Nero the Sable – complete rejection, body reconstitutes in the Void upon death while will and energetic remains persist on multiple occasions. Genetic relation to Chaos through use of corrupted mako in his conception presumably lead to him being viewed as equally integral to planetary processes, even if this may not be the case. (source: FF7DC, FF7R)

• Weiss the Immaculate – complete rejection, body persists even after death with will intact in spite of assumptions to the contrary and canonical complete energetic purity. Rejection appears to be due to his position as vessel of Omega, another Weapon, which renders him integral to planetary processes in much the same way as Vincent Valentine. (source: FF7DC)

• The Gi – energetic rejection only, affecting the entire species, although some bodies appear to still be intact in Cosmo Canyon for use in merit trials; possibly reconstituted through force of will, but more likely maintained by locals for cultural reasons. Rejection is due to incompatibility with the Lifestream, as the Gi are extraterrestrial lifeforms much like Jenova. (source: FF7R)

Again, there are instances that go against this interpretation, although those primarily take place in gameplay rather than in cutscenes or narrative, lending credence to the concept that these exceptions are based on game mechanics rather than lore.

If you read this far and this speaks to you, great! I'm glad I was able to shed some light on this particularly confusing fictional subject! If you read this far and this doesn't speak to you, that's also fine! Implications within canon don't necessarily make a particular interpretation the canonical one, after all.

Either way, thank you so much for lending me your time—I hope it was an enjoyable read, if nothing else.

hi i want to share funny things my mom has said abt ff7 (she knows only the gongaga meme and is obsessed with it and zack)

asked me if i knew sephiroth personally

thought that gongaga was a funny thing to name a guy until i told her that it's just the name of a place. still calls zack "mr gongaga"

thinks that zack looks like a nice guy and i should marry him

thinks that sephiroth "lacks rizz" and is a bit cringe but she'd still be his mom if he wanted to

thinks that zack dying at the end of crisis core was a "skill issue moment", and that him being alive (??) in rebirth is "just for attention" and that "he should make up his mind"

thinks that zack should really sit down and calm himself a bit

wanted to know who vincent was and why he doesn't know technology, and after showing him who he was, said that he should wear better clothes for lucrecia instead of his fuckass clothes (she didn't say fuckass)

thinks tifa is nice and that she deserves nice things :) also wants to pay for her breast reduction surgery

also this is her being mildly obsessed abt zack at a viddy game convention

For the Send Me a Character Ask: Cissnei

Thanks Razziecat!

First impression: Ooh, new female Turk! Great!

Current impression: Flat character giving off hints of great complexity. I was thrilled to see her in Rebirth and pleased they stuck with Crisis Core continuity by giving her a significant role in the Gongaga community and a part to play in the main narrative of that chapter. I think she’s meant to be all of 22, which makes no sense to me. She’s still a flat character. Cissnei is a support character; she exists to advance the main characters’ plot, and while she has a story of her own, we only see glimpses of it. Thus, I have so many questions:

Why does Gongaga, the most peaceful backwater on the planet, need their young people to be organised into a militia? What enemy do they fear?

Is that militia Cissnei’s real reason for being in Gongaga, or is it her cover story? I know she was sent there to keep an eye on Mr and Mrs Fair, but the danger posed to them by Genesis and his minions is over. Is she still a Turk or isn’t she? I think she is.

Where does Cissnei get the money she needs to live on? Does she own that house? Does the village pay her a salary for her militia work?

How do these rural people create skin-tight leggings?

What does she keep in all those holsters?

Who thought that magenta hair was a good idea? 

Is Cissnei still working for Shinra? (I think she is).

Favorite moment: In Crisis Core, the DMW memory with Rude and Reno when she asks Zack what he thinks of Turks’ teamwork. In Rebirth, when she finally gets to interact with Aerith in canon.

Idea for a story: One of the girls in the Gongaga Youth Militia or whatever it’s called dreams of going to Midgar and is studying hairdressing via correspondence course so she’ll have a skill to live on when she gets there. Cissnei unwisely allows this girl to dye her hair. Magenta hair ensues. While all this is going on in the foreground, Cissnei is solving a Turk mystery in the background. 

Unpopular opinion: I don’t know what the popular opinions are about Cissnei. What I think about Cissnei is that she is a gift to a fanfic writer. She has enough backstory and personality to provide a foundation for building up a really solid 3D characterisation, but she’s also vague enough that there’s plenty of wiggle room. Maybe she and Zack were good mission buddies back in their Shinra days, or maybe they were FWBs until he got serious with Aerith. Maybe she has left the Turks but still does jobs for them as a favour (or for a retainer). Cissnei can be anything and anyone you want her to be. 

Favorite relationship: She only has one significant relationship in the games and that’s with Zack. For his sake, she leaves a job she loves and the only family she’s ever known, in order to live in a peaceful backwater and surreptitiously watch over his parents. Maybe she did this out of pure friendship, but, hmm… I just don’t think so. She’s working through a lot of guilt. 

Anyway Cissnei/Reno is my favourite non-canonical rarepair. It’s a can’t-live-with-them, can’t-live-without-them situation. 

Favorite headcanon: As a young Turk she was competitive, driven and ambitious. She dreamed of becoming Director of the Turks when her mentor and father-figure Veld retired. Realising that Tseng had replaced her as Veld’s choice for that promotion was a really bitter pill for her to swallow.

AGSZC Easter traditions?

Angeal: "My parents didn't have a lot of money, but my mom made these nice marshmallow bunnies that were so chewy I lost a molar on one in '85. We also got a real baby chick each Easter! They were adorable. I named it Mister Cluckles every year. He disappeared every year, though… oh! And we always had chicken for Easter dinner :)"

Sephiroth: "….Wait, Angeal, don't you think—mmf!"

Genesis, covering Sephiroth's mouth: "NO."

Cloud: "Mom boiled eggs and dyed them using herbs and vegetable peels! We weren't allowed candy because sugar "was a pathway to drugs" according to Mrs. Rundle at the general store."

Sephiroth: "I didn't celebrate Easter. Hojo told me the Easter Bunny was a childish capitalist indulgence designed to normalize delusions and sugar dependency. Though he gave me a boiled egg one year and said, 'This is what children waste their lives on.' Then he watched me eat it while taking notes. I was six. I asked if the egg came from a chicken. He said no."

Zack: "OKAY so in Gongaga, Easter was a full send. Everyone dressed up like chocobos, our priest dressed like the bunny—like, full white fuzz suit and no eye holes, he kept walking into things—and we did the 'exploding egg game' where half the eggs were filled with glitter and the other half with gunpowder!!! It's how our neighbor's kid lost a finger."

Angeal: "……WAIT A DAMN MINUTE."

Seph and Zack try their hand at babysitting.

SQUEEEE!!! They would make such an awesome team…..! If they were babysitting a pet rock. Kinda. Maybe not. I’d give them 3.4/5 on Care.Com, would recommend for date nights but not anything too long.

“Honeyyy, we need someone to watch Sheldon tonight.”

“Not a problem! There’s a military base just across the sector, remember?”

Zack is SO into it! Oh yeah!!!! PARTY TIME!! He greets the little bean with a high five, down low, too slow and assures the parents that everything will be a-okay! He looked after kids in Gongaga all the time. He’s got this!

Sephiroth, meanwhile, nearly knocks down a coat rack coming in, assures the parents that he is well trained in medical if anything goes wrong, and recounts both parents’ mobile numbers, email addresses, and probably license plates to make sure they can reach them if needed.

Alright, mom and dad! You brought boot camp home with you. Let’s see what happens!

Zack’s first suggestion is to play a board game- they’re fun for the whole family!!! Sephiroth volunteers to be the judge, but Zack vehemently insists that Candy Land has no judges and he’s gotta play! He GOTTA. So the three sit criss-cross applesauce as they make their way through the wondrous sugar paradise until one of them is crowned winner. Sephiroth can’t exactly say he’s all too disappointed at coming in third place (though he really should have moved four spaces forward at Cinnamon City…)

Well. At least it’s over now-

“Charades! Charades!” The little bean jumps up and down. “Let’s play charades!”

“Heck yeah!” Zack fist pumps. “Charades is the best!”

Zack goes first, proceeding to flop on his stomach and curl himself alllll the way inwards.

“You’re a stomach cramp,” Sephiroth guesses, actually quite pleased with his guess. Turns out he was very off-base; Zack was a snail, and the 5yo child bested him at guessing it correctly.

“Mr Sephiroth’s turn!” the little bean says.

Oh. Oh no. No no no he was not—

Sephiroth’s taking stage about 30 seconds later. He prefers not to disclose the details of his card.

It’s dinner time!!! Zack and Seph have a quick chat about who should cook dinner, ultimately settling on Sephiroth when it came down to who was least likely to start a fire. Zack resumes his game of robot pirate invasion with the little bean as Seph gathers some eggs from the kitchen. Eggs were nutritious. Eggs were simple. Eggs were friendly.

Unnnfortuantly, the egg explodes in his hand when he tries to crack it. And this happens again, and again, and again, and AGAIN, until the poor guy is surrounded by a massacre of yolky eggshells. Sephiroth calls them into the kitchen abt 3 minutes later, three steaming plates of Eggos waffles fresh from the toaster. Compliments to the chef! It’s very tasty <3

It’s bedtime!!! Zack & Sephiroth make sure the little bean is all snug in bed, and Zack suggests telling him a bedtime story- just like Seph does to him when he sits at the foot of his bed (their secret)! Ohhh there are so many stories… so many memories…

Sephiroth approves.

“Alrighty, little guy! I have a story for ya: it was a bright and beautiful Tuesday… I had just finished morning warmups, and boy did I not know I was gonna have to get my finger sewn back on…”

Sephiroth does NOT approve.

The little bean is lulled to sleep by some gentle, quiet singing instead, sung by none other than the golden-voiced Sephiroth as Zack falls asleep on his shoulder <3 The parents return home to find the little bean snug as a bug in bed, and Sephiroth accepts their money on behalf of the knocked-out Zack—who is still very snuggly draped over his shoulders.

Welp, back to work tomorrow. That was an… experience. One that was worth it though, if it meant that Zack could have a slice of his old life in Midgar <3 <3

…

…..OH IFRIT’s HANDBAG. He forgot to clean up the kitchen-

Cyno - Final Fantasy VII Verse [Headcanons]

Cyno is an Ancient who lived 2000 years ago, at the time of the Calamity that struck the Planet.

The Planet as he knew it was very different from the present time. His people called it Teyvat, and Cyno's clan used to roam through the deserts and forests of Sumeru (roughly including the lands between North Corel, Gongaga and Cosmo Canyon).

When the Calamity struck the Planet, he sacrificed himself with his people to seal Jenova in the North Crater. His soul and body were summoned by the Gods of Celestia, a mythical city that, unbeknownst to anyone even in the present day, still exists and floats around the Planet, out of sight into space. (Tsk tsk, Mr. President should've funded that Space Program more~)

On Celestia, time is frozen, and Cyno remained there for 2000 years without realizing it.

At last, he had a chance to return back to the Planet when the Gods prophesize that the Calamity is about to reawaken. To his own surprise, Teyvat is no more, and his people have gone extinct.

His verse sees a confused Cyno trying to come to terms that time has moved on without him and everything is in ruin.

Should ShinRa take notice of his presence, he is sure to catch their attention and be pursued as a target.

He cannot hear the Planet in the same vein Aerith does. In his clan, only a selected few people were born with this ability, and he was not one of them.

His headdress is designed after Red XIII's species, that Cyno's clan was very familiar with and even worshiped.
