Crisis Core

You know, it's so interesting to watch the effect new canon has on a longstanding fandom. It's kinda fun to sit back and watch fandom explosions when people get Jossed - like what has happened in the last two HP books, or as I have been getting inklings of, in Doctor Who with some of the contents of the new series' second season - or the FF7 fandom with all the stuff coming out due to the Complication Compilation.

It's been under a week since Crisis Core pictures have hit the fandom and I am already amused that Soldier shippers are starting to write smut fics that includes Angeal - the CC character who is suposedly Zack's mentor and Sephiroth's friend.

It's rather a cute idea Zack being the inexperienced youngster of the group - something that up until now Cloud has always been.

I do however wonder at what point Angeal disappears. He sure ain't there in Nibelheim so how are Squeenix going to get rid of him? I have been idly contemplating the possibilty that his death contributes to Sephiroth's "coldness" by the time of Nibelheim and, to some extent, his eventual madness.

Hrrrmmmrr.

I still partially hope that Square Enix gives Sephiroth a canon female love interest, JUST to see the entire yaoi fandom implode under the notion that OMG SEPHY LIEKS TEH BOOBS. Imagine the heads exploding. XD

That would almost be worth having my personal internal canon overthrown and torn limb from limb. XD

I was so intrigued by the fact that, in the pictures, -Angeal- was the one with the Buster Sword.

As for canon, people will do as they always do. Either mark it as non-inclusive, adapt, or ignore it completely. *grins*

Which is one of the rasons why I wonder at what point he dies, because Zack gets his sword.
