Seph/Cloud: Thoughts

I found my way into the Wikipedia page about homosexuality in Japan and found this:

From religious circles, same-sex love spread to the warrior class, where it was customary for a young samurai to apprentice to an older and more experienced man. The young samurai would be his lover for many years. The practice was known as shudo, the way of the young, and was held in high esteem by the warrior class.

I'd heard something about that in a thread on fanficrants, I think, about Jedi but I got thinking when I read that about how it'd apply to a Seph/Cloud relationship.

I doubt I'm the only one who has considered such.

Cloud Doll

I am doing the Cloud and Sephiroth dolls that I wanted as accompaniment for Vincent. I have the bodies sewn and stuffed now, though they have come out thinner than Vincent's was (I suspect the fact that they were machine sewn instead of hand had something to do with it - seam allowances or some such).

Cloud now has his head of hair - I wanted to get onto it and get it done.

It's yellow fur that I sewed onto his head and then brushed and hairsprayed into the right pattern of spikes.

I am thinking of maybe doing Sephi's hair then attacking both lots of clothing at once. I am still not sure how the hell to do that half-skirt thing Cloud wears though. Opinions people? Does anyone agree with my thought that it looks like half a hakama?

Doll Yaoi!

encodedfate has a very naughty mind - not that that is a bad thing! He made a comment about posing my dolls in yaoi poses and, well...

( Doll porn! )

XO

Umm, I think I overdid it with Sephi-Doll's hair, he's come out rather... ( fluffy )

I am starting to think that yarn was not a really good idea. Maybe I should have gone with the plain white normal yarn (it would have been cheaper too).

Edit: I have decided that I will make another doll with normal white wool for hair as my Sephi doll and this one will be... someone else. I don't know, maybe an elf. I don't really want to waste what admitedly expensive fluffy yarn by pulling it apart. So Vincent and Cloud will just have to take care of each other for a while before they will be truely joined by Sephi.
