#the “ahhhh” with Sephiroth

[dualdeixis]

[Image description: Two digital drawings featuring Strelitzia as an adult. Both scenes are enclosed in a circular border with four nodes. In the first, Strelitzia wears the true Dandelion cloak. She stands tall, the toe of her boot extending past the border. She has an immense halo around her head, which begins with a shock of white before bursting into many bright colors. Her left hand is raised in a beckoning gesture, showing that she wears a rose-shaped ring on her scarred middle finger. With her right hand, she points at Vanitas, who kneels before her in his sleeveless yukata and raises his hands as if to either defend himself or swear fealty. Both of their faces are cast in shadow, revealing only their eyes. Vanitas's eyes are wide with terror as he stares up at Strelitzia, but hers are calm and gleam with an unnatural light as she looks at the viewer. A Chrono Twister, Archraven, Red Hot Chili, Prize Pod, Blobmob, and Spiderchest are gathered behind Vanitas, while a small, wine-colored Flood latches onto his side, as if trying to help him. The background is a pattern made up of dots and the letter X; there are some gaps in the pattern which are filled with streaks of bright red, resembling wounds.

In the second drawing, Strelitzia stands in a dark ocean with Kingdom Hearts as a blood moon framing her head. She wears Sephiroth's Dissidia outfit. She extends her right hand to the viewer, while her left hand rests on the guard of Kingdom Key D. To her right stands Vanitas in Sephiroth's KH2 outfit, and to her left is Ventus in Cloud's KH2 outfit. All three of them have their faces hidden by white haloes; Vanitas and Ventus's mirror each other and resemble a partial solar eclipse, while Strelitzia's halo combines the two into a total eclipse. Paine, Yuna, and Rikku float above them with celebratory expressions and poses. The background is a pattern of blue arabesques with interspersed pink dots. End image description.]

seven demons (GLORIOSA) / mistress of martyrs (GENEROSA)

happy birthday @maverickflare !!

[glamgoblin]

You know I killed her right?

Is he talking about Tifa? Aerith? Cloud’s mom???

[wowa-bublord]

I gotta know what animal you associate each SOLDIER with. Zack is a stray dog obv, but what about the other members of the CC cast? Do all/any of them have more animal-like behaviors? Does this impact their relationships with normal citizens??

AHHHH IM HAPPY 2 ANSWER!! None of them are meant to actually be part animal, and only the soldiers are meant to really have inhuman traits, (Weird eyes, sharp teeth, pointy ears) the rest are just artistic design ideas!! like. a design motif i think is the word?? let me collect some pictures.

I tend to base my Sephiroth design off of owls. particularly barn or otherwise tyto owls. Aside from the obvious. Bird. Wing. thing, I think its an interesting parallel to how white barn owls are said to bring prosperity/good luck (like how Sephiroth was designed to be a hero) but owls in general are said to be associated with death and bad omens (like sephiroth. my silly billy)

My Tifa design is based on bulls. I wanted her to look both sturdy and protective, while also being more of a local animal.. plus how she's dressed like a cowgirl in crisis core/flashbacks hehe

And Aeriths design is heavily inspired by a moth!! Representing change, transformation and growth. Though it's heavily based on the fact that Aeriths talk about being afraid of the sky reminded me of a moth to the flame metaphor. (I'm putting her animal comparison under read more NUBE DO NOT CLICKK)

[prismaticpichu]

My offering for the prompts: Zack's been injured, Seph's here to help

Ahhhh THE BEANS!! You got it 💙💚

(Under the cut for minor blood)

~

“I’m fine.”

Crimson blooming, a swell of blood that burgeoned from the red, gaping roots branching along his shoulder. The teen smiled wanly, stifling the knifelike sear like it was a mere scratch.

Sephiroth could see the pain in his eyes anyway.

“You are not fine,” he snarled. “Don’t you dare say you’re fine.”

He didn’t care if it was hypocritical

He didn’t care if it was harsh.

Because the last time he had believed things to be fine…

He took out a cloth, grateful when Zack slumped into him and accepted the help.

He wasn’t losing another best friend.

[altocat]

do you ship Seph/Vincent

Ahhhh, please don't hate me anon. I don't.

There's a non-zero chance Vincent is Sephiroth's father. Odds went up after all the weird shit Vincent said in Rebirth. But even if that weren't the case, the idea of Vincent being in love with Sephiroth's mom only to move on to her son is...I'm not really a fan.

This isn't an anti Seph/Vin post though for people who ship it. Just my personal tastes and opinions. People are free to like whatever they want to like. I just have a hunch that a certain fan theory might actually play a role in Part 3 in the very near future.

[silver-wield]

AHHHH!! I can't breathe at all. Andrea is back with a possibility of Tifa's time to shine!? Will she get an exclusive dress up from him!, Zerith at full force like OMFG they have the same umbrella weapon in EC, it's so funny how they're making Cloud be so conservative hahahaha well technically he's underage mentally I don't know why I find this funny because there will be thirsty people out there for a topless cloud lol, that key art referencing the two canon pairs with Sephiroth at the middle (seriously he's such a troll), that Tifa with fireworks behind her I just can't, and last but not the least

HOW CAN THEY MAKE TIFA EVEN MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN BEFORE HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE!? WILL I COMBUST IN PART 3!? she only gets better I want to cry 😿 they upgraded her in EC then refined her even more. They literally said, let's make Tifa the icon of Japanese/east asian beauty standards (and you know how culturally serious they are about that). Cloud you're too lucky DAMN U she's so beautiful inside and out.

But out of context, I do find it disappointing that some OG players? are biting the red herring, I can only forgive the new players for being fooled because that's the point.

I heard there's gonna be another trailer later on? I hope they flesh out Zack there more. Like the whole Zerith thing. SE is playing their cards carefully.. I hope I'm right in a good way.

Another trailer on Thursday at TGS and that ones geared more towards fans from the start and not a hook for noobs.

Guess people who fell for it are fish 🤣

Tifa's gorgeous 😍❤️

[milligramspoison]

[valyrou]

hiyaaaaa, who are your top 3 fav star wars characters? and/or your top 3 Final Fantasy 7 characters? who’s your favorite slasher? I’m a big fan of Ghostface! oh and I also loooove your “Star Wars Characters Love Language”, what you wrote for Anakin is especially my favorite. I’d just love to be held by him OTL

(also, I noticed that your askbox doesn’t have the ability to turn on Anon for those who are more shy, if you want to find the setting for that it’s in “Edit Appearance” in your blog’s settings. unfortunately it can only be found on desktop/web browser. if Anonymous is intentionally off (bc haters or something) then ignore this and sorry if i overstepped my boundary! ^^’)

Hi!! Thank you soo much for asking and pointing out that requesting as anon was turned off! I rushed to my Pc the minute I read it and fixed it. You can now ask questions anonymously. Again thank you so much for pointing this out, I probably would have never noticed that. AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ENJOYING MY LOVE LANGUAGE POST! I really appreciate it :) I honestly thought I was a horrible writer haha again, thank you so much!! Have a lovely day and I hope you enjoy what I wrote for you! If you have anything else you‘d like to share with me, you can happily hop in my Request/question inbox and request again! Maybe even as Anon this time ;)

(Requests are open)

Top 3 Fandom characters

A/n: Okay sorry to interrupt again, but this is literally perfect to write rn because I am on a car ride right now (so many Right now’s) and I really need to do something.. OKAY THATS ALL THANK YOU

Star Wars

Okay this one is VERY hard… I really had to think about this for a looong time.. I will explain myself as to why I chose each character :)

1.Din Djarin

OKAY HEAR ME OUT!! I‘m a sucker for Pedro Pascal, but I just love Mandos character in itself! He doesn’t let anyone get close to him but at the same time he builds trust quite fast. Most of the time. He knows who he can trust and is always on guard.

He is daddy. No like literally he has an adoptive, green baby on his side at all times. If you can gain his trust, he can be quite friendly and caring. I cannot tell you how many feelings explode inside of me when he says „Go! I‘ll cover you!“ LIKE AHHHH

2. Anakin Skywalker

Do I need to explain? He is so much like me!! Especially the high ego and the stubbornness..DO NOT COME AT ME LIKE „Oh so you think you can change him?“ HELL. NO. I would not be able to change a single thing about him, especially when palpatine lures him to the dark side. I would try to get him back of course but he was so gaslighted he would not change his mind.

Still he is handsome and has a great personality, even if he‘s a Jedi he still keeps his personality. He just shits on Jedi rules (relationship with padme) I don’t know why I like him so much, it’s just something I know for a fact. Legit grew up like that.

OKAY HOLD UP!! This was between Ahsoka and Obi wan.. and I‘m sorry to say this but..

3. Ahsoka Tano

I‘M SORRY BUT I CAN‘T TELL YOU HOW MUCH I FANGIRLED FOR AHSOKA IN MANDALORIAN SO I JUST HAVE TO GO WITH HER.

I see obi wan more as a father figure.. he is just papa :0

Ahsoka my love is a girl boss, fleeing from troopers that try to catch her for something she didn’t do and then realizing that being a Jedi is just meh and retreating from her status of being a Jedi? Just a girl boss. You have to love her for that

AND HELLO?!!? SHE LOOKS MAD GORGEOUS WHEN SHE FIGHTS HAVE YOU SEEN THE MANDOLORIAN LIKE WWWOOOOOWWWW

she is just gorgeous and has a beautiful personality. I would befriend her asap if I see her. No hesitation.

Final Fantasy

This one is pretty easy ngl. No hesitation while choosing at all.

1. Sephiroth

Gorgeous hair, gorgeous face and a habit of killing people. What can I say. My dream men. At first I hated him but then I read like one fanfic on accident and I saw him in a completely different light. Suddenly when I played the game myself I would scream in my pillow like a mad women.

I‘m sorry but he is just my number one. Mwuah Chefs Kiss

2. Cloud strife

He has so much sass it’s adorable. That oke scene where he was all dressed up? I questioned my speciality all over again. He literally slayed in that dress. I wish I looked like that on prom :,(

He is so cute and he is the only one that I would big spoon… like- ever. He is the only one that gets that privilege.

3. Tifa

Another girl boss. I‘m not a pervert and chose her because of her body I‘m head over heals for her kind and caring personality. She is just sooo sweet!! And suddenly I can bark very well..

Tifa just had to be here. I feel like she would be the best girlfriend ever. I MEAN- caring, kind, brave?!?? She has sooo much to offer

Slasher boys

Okay hard choice again… but I feel like Michael doesn’t really have much personality and he doesn’t talk.. what am I going to do??? So I chose as my favorite slasher…

GHOSTFACE!

Not the dbd ghostface!! I mean ghostface from the first movie. Scream 1996!! Stu and Billy are just something. I mean if they actually like you and stuff one of the two might talk to you as ghostface and leave you alive ?

Not many slasher boys talk and Ghostace has the most personality.. I can just imagine maybe trying to talk to him..? I‘m a lot like Stu on my good days.. soo I figure that he and I would go well together.. as for Billy? It would be hard. Way harder then trying to befriend Stu.

You have to like ghostface!

Yandere Sephiroth x reader (Final Girl AU)

Sephiroth: My dates with my girlfriend are usually at her house

Sephiroth: Can't risk it,my face is literally everywhere

Genesis: Good,that makes the both of you closer. But it's a 9 though,a candlelit dinner gets you a 10

Sephiroth: Sometimes we do stargazing at night too!

Zack:*squeal* Ahhhh!!!! That's so romantic!!!

Sephiroth: Also sometimes I sneaked into her bedroom and got into bed with her

Genesis,Zack:........

Sephiroth: just to not make things suspicious with everything going on

[kingkatsuki]

I saw mention of the one winged angel so I had to comment as a certified old school fan of him. (Btw banana studios made a statue of him, a whip is included hnnn) Moving on, can you imagine calm collected Seph sassing a short tempered Bakugou as the two do an epic explosive battle? I'd pay to see that.

AHHHH PLEASE!!!

I already imagined Bakugou’s avatar in RP1 to be Cloud so I feel like they are soul brothers😭

But just imagining Bakugou going against Sephiroth? Holy fuck. Omg or imagine Bakugou with a buster sword😩

[prismaticpichu]

Concept: experimental modified time materia brought out in sparring malfunctions somehow and now Zack and the Banora duo have a lil Sephling on their hands

LITTLE SEPH!!!!!! <333 Ahhhh this is glorious!!!

I would love to write this out some day dhdhdhd! I don’t have the full energy rn, but bc it’s such a phenomenal idea, I will try my best with one of my good ol’ fic/synopsis hybrids!

For a long while, everyone just stares, three mouths agape and three eyes struck with lightning. One minute they’re sparring, four swords going at it in at blazing speed. And the next—

“WHAT DID YOU DO, PUPPY?!” Genesis roars, whirling around to face the absolutetively befuddled Zack. See?This is why they don’t invite him to their TRAINING SESSIONS. The squirt was a walking heartbeat of destruction, pop songs, and comically large slip-ups. Nothing good ever happened when he was around.

“Don’t look at me!” Zack tries to defend himself. “All I did was cast Stop!”

Angeal gives a slow, incredulous blink, molasses on his lashes. “You stopped him alright.”

Meanwhile, at their feet, a 3yo Demon of Wutai cocks his head, sitting on his butt, his clothes and armor having conveniently shrunk to fit the size of his regression. Not Masamune though. That thing is abandoned on the floor, unaffected and forgotten.

“…Doc’ors?” Sephiroth blinks, his catlike eyes wide and round and sponging up most of the green in his eyes, his quicksilver hair gushing all the way down to his lap. Who are these people? They’re tall. And big. They aren’t wearing white coats either. One looks strong. One looks like he’s ready to explode. One of their heads’ looks like a mop.

Upon hearing him speak, hearing him squeak in his little Seph voice, Zack’s heart completely melts; all his bafflement and paranoia and most likely sense of reality is zapped away as he scoops up the little guy, raising him high in the air Simba-style.

“Ohhh look at you! You’re like a little doll! in ShinRa wear, Seph! Look at those eyes! Those pauldrons! Boop!”

Angeal and Genesis proceed to watch in deadlike silence as Zack boops the little guy’s nose, raising him up and down and up and down and upsy daisy and downsy daffodil. Seph is frozen at first, these gestures completely and utterly alien… but it’s not long before he’s clapping his hands and little giggles are bubbling from his throat. He likes mop head!

“Would you cut that out?!” Genesis roars suddenly—loud enough to startle the poor baby Seph, consequently causing him to start crying in the puppy’s arms. Zack’s face immediately hardens as he hugs Seph close, and now it’s his turn to whirl around in disapproval. Yeah, GENESIS.

“Hey! Be gentle with him!” Zack scolds, little Seph clutching at the fabric of his collar.

“That is Sephiroth, you nimrod! Do you not see the issue here?”

“The issue is that you’re scaring him!”

“He’s… SEPHIROTH.”

Angeal is wondering where the nearest retail shop is hiring.

~

After some intelligent discussion, baby Seph is brought back to Angeal’s place—just for the time being. And here’s where the fun starts! Everyone needs to chip in! Sephiroth is thirsty, first things first, having been plopped on the couch next to Zack. Zack is scrolling through the educational TV channels as Angeal fishes out a water bottle out from the fridge, walking it over—

“What’s that?”

Angeal stops in his tracks, blinking in surprise. “It’s water,” he explains—how is he supposed to talk to his friend? Like a preschool teacher? Like a therapist?

Seph’s confusion doesn’t fade. “Hojo always give me water in bowl.”

Zack pauses on Blue’s Clues.

…Excuse him?

Seph proceeds to explain that Hojo always gives him water—and, and food—in a little bowl that sounds suspiciously similar to a dog bowl. Angeal is dumbfounded, having to move Seph’s hands to hold the water bottle right while Genesis throws some untasty swears out there (covering his ears ofc). Zack, meanwhile, is floating somewhere between anger and an ache he can’t even pinpoint. All he knows is that he’s suddenly hugging Seph close, squishing his doll-sized leather jacket against his chest. That wasn’t cool, glasses man >:(

~

Following water break is play time! Zack whips out some crayons and paper to doodle with Seph while Angeal and Genesis prepare dinner—on a plate, thank you. Zack goes on to doodle some very nice pictures~ a giraffe, a river, a flamingo. He’s laughing and telling jokes with baby Seph, casually glancing over after a while to see—

“Uh, bud… what’s that?”

Seph doodled what can only be described as a pile of spaghetti—spaghetti that’s green, and has a face, and is dripping slime, and that has a bloody splotch for one of its eyes.

“I see her in dreams sometimes,” Seph says then, surprisingly blanched of emotion. “She visits me.”

Aight! Art time’s over!

~

“SEPHIROTH! GIVE ME BACK MY BOOK!”

No one could have predicted the Zoomies.

It was all going so smoothly…! Seph was pajama-ed, he had his teeth brushed, he was all snug and toasty and ready for bed—!

And he had Genesis’ favorite copy of Loveless. And zipping around the apartment at Mach 5 speed. And bouncing from furniture to furniture. And singing the Blue’s Clues song.

“C’mon, Seph…” Genesis finally corners him, bringing down his voice. “Give it back to your old buddy Genesis.”

“Okie!” Seph chirps, and proceeds to chuck the book with all his prodigious strength, hitting Genesis square in the nose. Bingo! He scored a touchdown!

“Nice shot!” Zack calls from across the room.

~

It’s bedtime! Angeal and Genesis collapse from exhaustion, Seph settled on the couch with a pillow and blankie. Zack takes an air mattress beside him, having even lent his favorite dragon plushie to the little bean to sleep. He loves it! All is well, the apartment falls silent, the craziness of the day and all its sci-fi stupidity fading away into a blessed oasis of peace.

Until the sobbing starts.

The sound is low, dim, stifled… a broken song that is being cracked between Sephiroth’s lips. Zack stirs immediately, shaking the little Seph awake and propping him up. Seph’s eyes are streaked with tears, glistening with beads of Mako-blue as Zack delicately gazes at him. His heart pretzels.

“What’s wrong, little bud…?”

Seph snivels, wiping his tears on Muffin the dragon. “I see her. She’s here. She says I should hurt you. Hurt two guys too.” His sobs break into something louder, splintering, and Zack can’t take it a moment longer; he settles himself on the couch and brings little Seph close, cocooning his arms around him, swaddling him, letting him cry into his chest. He doesn’t move, not an inch. Not even as Seph’s sobs slowly ebb and a faint snore replaces them.

Eventually, the warmth bubbled against him, breathing into him in calm, slow zephyrs, Zack closes his eyes and falls asleep.

~

Thankfully, in this case, time materia is temporary! Woooo! It’s very strange when Sephiroth wakes up in Zack’s arms, wearing onesie pajamas and holding a plushie. Very strange indeed.

“Oh…” Zack pulls back, coral flaring on his cheeks. “Hi Sephiroth!”

Sephiroth doesn’t say a word. He just glances down, absorbing the floofy sleepwear, his expression steely as a block of steel.

“Seph—“

“Don’t.” Sephiroth says, straightening, and steps over his sleeping best friends as he makes his way to the door.

Hello Altocat!

I just wanted to reach out to you. I'm a big fan of your writings. I wanted to tell you that A Monster's Threads was hugely influential to why I joined the FF community. I think it's a masterwork and one of the best fics I've ever read. I like it even more than first soldier.

I want to write my own Sephiroth origin fic someday. If I ever get around to it, do you think you could take a look? It would mean the world to me.

XOXOXO

Ahhhh! Thank you so much, Anon! Seriously, thank you! AMT was one of my greatest labors of love and the hardest I've ever pushed for something fic-wise. I'm so glad it means so much to you.

And of course! I'd love to read your Seph origin fic! And there's plenty of new canon material to work with now too! So by all means do send it my way once you start digging in! I know it's going to be awesome.

[doodledstars]

Welcome to Smash, Sephiroth! Also Kirby can be a one winged angel :D

[scrawnytreedemon]

.... I only now realized how unexplored the idea of Cloud being casually horrifying is.

Maybe that's why Sephiroth is hellbent on making Clouds life horrible. He is terrified of the cryptid that is our beloved chocobo boy.

I mean, yeah, but Sephiroth is 10x more horrifying-- He's been jacked up on Mako all his life, and has alien genes to boot. I think he'd be more giddy if he paid attention, if anything.

The rest of the gang, though? Oh, I'm living for the slow horror of realising Cloud isn't All There, having it all slowly peel away as they walk in on More and More Fucked Up Things? God, poor Barret, man, all he wanted to do was be an honest hard-working ecoterrorist and now he needs to deal with cryptid shit-- Yuffie too, she didn't sign up for this!

Quite frankly, no one did.

Not even Tifa.

Especially not poor Tifa.
