#strifesodosweek2024

[tegabyte]

both of these guys are defiant and would 300% point a sword at their problem trying to boss them around (Rufus, but also Sephiroth).

Day 3 is being posted late becaaaaaause I had irl things to do, and still have irl stuff to do, this week lmao... Also I drew this pose like three different ways again and then remembered Cloud's smash bros art pose and wanted to do that. (I drew it by hand but I traced the sword because I couldn't get the proportions right. I drew it, but the perspective was subtly borked.)

Genesis's pose was also a wild time, I looked at a reference photo for it but his sword..... is a lot.... (I had to draw that one by hand tho)

sighs tho... I like them a lot.... I might not get more drawings done this week, but I'm gonna try! (❁´◡`❁)

And That's A Wrap Folks!!!

I hope everyone had a blast with this event! I'm going to keep submissions open on the collection for another week or so, I know some (cough me too cough) didn't get everything done exactly on time so I'll have a bit of a grace period!

We're definitely doing this again next year right??? RIGHT! I've already got a lot of plans and have written up new guidelines based on the, hopefully unique, idea I have for next year's prompts!!

For @strifesodosweek

Even though there is a (very loose) narrative, I'm going to be posting this in non-chronological order because why not :DDDD

In all seriousness, I was planning on posting the prompts out of order for this after my brain decided to make them all loosely related, but because my brain is also full of bad ideas, I've gone with prompt order instead of actual narrative order. Though once it's finished it should end up in chronological order.

I promised that I wanted to finished the strifesodos week prompts no matter how long it took, and,,,,,, I meant it,,,

Dreams and Lifestream are basically the same thing in my heart, so I just drew them together. Stardust boy and Sunspot boy together in the Stream, a dream and a union and just something I thought would look neat and also not make me focus on realistic shading at any point.

(I have drawn them in so many states of extreme undress for these prompts lmao? nothing's showing at least, but they are definitely not clothed here)

[tegabyte]

if I'm determined to actually finish these after the months I had of shenanigans, you have to allow me that impulse. They won't be Finished finished, but there'll be something if I have my way with my tablet and CSP

idk if I have a whole story for this, but I was thinking like... they have to separate, because of their shared trauma and their mistakes of the past. They can't just be together all that easily, after everything they've done and that has been done to them. So, they split apart, they go to take care of themselves in the ways they can.

Even if the morrow is barren of promises, nothing shall foretell my return. that kinda thing. except then they'll get to be together when they *do* return, and they might get to hold hands and kiss without it being a minefield.

[tegabyte]

the way I was so out of brain because I was doing some Big Things in October right around the time of this week.... I've only just finished sketching this out whoops.

Anyway, Strifesodos Week day 4, at last lmao. It's materia lessons with materia expert Genesis Rhapsodos (and he might very well be growing a crush on materia adept Cloud Strife but shhh). They're talkin' about using materia without it being in a materia slot in armor or weapons. Not everyone can do it, but Genesis wanted to see if Cloud could figure it out.

Cloud's short enough that his heels can't quite touch the ground while sitting on the same nebulous space as Genesis ehehe. love Genesis wearing slutty thigh high boots as casual wear, also. I do not apologize for him tiddies

[tegabyte]

happy day 2 of strifesodos week! :3

maybe at some point I won't start a drawing at like 2AM and then be up until sunrise. That day wasn't today.

I was going to draw Cloud in fragmented pieces, but then I decided. Genesis probably has whole chunks missing from his life, with his brain melted and whatever happens to him post-DoC. Holding himself together is a monumental feat, he's already cracked and missing in places. But Cloud knows that feeling. Can't put the pieces back, not entirely, but rebuilding some of it can happen. And putting new pieces in place.

Now that I've typed this I realize I should've done a kind of kintsugi thing on Cloud. I thought about that at one point but in my defense the pose was weird and I changed it like three times so I forgot. If I ever get around to finishing up any of my sketches in the sketch pile, I'll do that for this one.

anyway, same trauma my beloved otp

Do you think Cloud would rather be in the book club or red leather?

I kind of adore the idea of Cloud getting obsessed with Genesis instead of Sephiroth - like physically Cloud can never be tall and sleek and dangerous looking but he CAN work a million times harder on his Materia use and be like Genesis.

I think he would start out in Red Leather, and then check Loveless out from the library as soon as he learns it's Genesis' favorite. He's not much one for poetry, so he thinks, but he isn't expecting an EPIC poem which is a very Nibelheim thing.

I've always figured there is a TON more about Loveless, there's no way a whole book is 272 words, that's got to be a simplification of the basics of the poem.

And he would tentatively join the Study Group and feel like his opinions don't matter much but somehow his theories and ideas about the story and wordplay end up getting really popular and he only ever checks Red Leather's message boards when there is some big announcement.
