I am completely obsessed with a crown of candy. like caramelinda and lazuli were IN LOVE. imagine you're caramelinda. you are married to the love of your life. and she dies. your country is unstable, you need to remarry, politically. you have to remarry to her baby brother who up until now has just been a reckless prince getting up to stupid shit in the war. and now he's your husband. and now he's king. you have two daughters with him. he is a useless ruler, so you manage everything. you try to keep your family safe. your daughters grow up and take after their father. they take after lazuli. they are reckless. they just want to fight things, and you feel like their jailer, trying to impose rules, trying to keep them safe. you love them and would break apart if anything happened to them. you miss your wife. you have been married to your husband for 20 years now. he has been by your side longer than you even knew your wife. you deserved her, not him. it is impossible not to love him. but never like you loved her. he is still an irresponsible reckless warrior. he is a coward. he is your partner in life. you have children and a kingdom together. one of your daughters dies. she dies sneaking away after you told her to go to bed. you are queen. you are supposed to be able to protect her. you had ordered people to follow her and keep her safe. she still died. you want to blame her. you want to blame everyone. you want to blame yourself, you tried so hard to keep her safe. you cry in your husbands arms. you find out your wife kept secrets from you. you have to leave your home. your family is in danger. your family is protecting itself. you feel like dead weight. you miss your wife.

Zack: So! What are your New Year’s Resolutions, guys???
(The four First Class SOLDIERs, sitting on the couch as the “countdown to the Midgar ball drop” buzzes on the TV in front of them. Angeal lets out a small, hearty laugh.)
Angeal: Hmm… I’m not too sure, pup. Perhaps to limit my cheat days when I’m perfectly capable of cooking a healthy meal myself. Sephiroth?
(Sephiroth ruffles Zack’s hair, smiling softly.)
Sephiroth: Simple. To find a way to become Zack’s mentor.
Angeal: Huh—
Sephiroth: Genesis? What about you?
(Genesis is silent for a moment. He appears very pensive, his auburn hair falling over his eyes, seemingly touched deeply by the question.)
Genesis: …I… I suppose… I would like to make an effort to be more cognizant of the people around me, and realize that they aren’t goals for me to reach. I want to harness my own strength, realize my own gifts and focus on improving me. Not anyone else. Me. For the path I have chosen since joining SOLDIER has been nothing but a cascade of jealousy and bitterness, blinding me to the beautiful things I have around me now. And that is not a worthy life to live. So here, during the last remaining hours of this year, I say it: no longer shall I mindlessly chase the shadows of my rivals. The shadows of my fellow SOLDIERs. Of my comrades. Of…
(He glances up then, a faint shimmer in his eyes as he gazed at Sephiroth)
Genesis: …Of my own best friend. Who has done nothing but support and encourage me, and is the most humble and wonderful hero the world could ask for.
(Zack sniffles under the leather glove)
Zack: Genesis… that was beautiful….
Angeal: Oh, Gen…
(And Sephiroth, too, has a moment of delicate silence as he gazes back at his dear friend. Something wet reflects in his own eyes, a glint of vulnerability and warmth in the emerald water.)
Sephiroth: …You truly mean that?
(Genesis gazes right back at him, just as vulnerable, the vague haze of tears brimming as he takes a deep breath and slowly shakes his head.)
Genesis: …No. I still really want to kick your ass.

i want to lock paddy mayne and bucky egan in a room together just to see what would happen
- tal @trenchenjoyer
i think if they were both drunk enough, paddy would recite some gay ass poetry and talk about beating the shit out of people and bucky would be like wow he just like me fr <3 and they would fuck. but i also think it is equally likely that bucky would immediately annoy the shit out of paddy who starts beating the shit out of him to which bucky thinks wow this is the hottest thing to ever happen to me and then they fuck. i do think most roads lead to them smashing. would you fuck your clone moment but your clone is just Dog-coded Guy In War. but of course ultimately we will never know.... anything could happen........ schrodingers room-we-locked-paddy-and-bucky-in.....
