Sailor §trange

Yes folks, I have finished Final Fantasy VII!!!

May I just say, after fighting Ruby and Emerald, Proud Clod, Hojo in all his forms, Jenova SYTHISIS, Bizarro Sephiroth and Safer Sephiroth all seemed easy? By Eru, what was the idea behind that Squeenix??!!!

The FMVs were interesting to see though, I have this facination with the way that those that turned up in Advent Children are so exact to the original. I also noticed something, the vision/whatever Cloud has of taking Aeris' hand when fighting Bahamut SHIN is exactly like the one he had after the final mental fight with Sephiroth (and DAMMIT! WHY DIDN'T THEY HAVE HIM SHIRTLESS IN AC????!!!!!!) that when he woke up whatever saw Tifa holding out her hand the same way.

Oh and why oh why didn't they show a nice clear shot in the final FMV of Vincent???? ;_;

Anyway, now I'm not sure what I'm going to do now I've finished the game, I'm not sure I want to go start it all over again... yet. Maybe I'll go play that second Blaise Draconis game I had sitting in BG2...

You know what? I want FF8 now, I've heard it was released for PC as well.

And I am just a tad miffed that I have already read all of Lady Yashodoa's FF7 fics, the idea of girl!Cloud has currently got a very hard grip on my mind. I supose I'll have to wait for her to update Road to Damascus but considering that I went and read the latter two thirds of Cloud's Secret most of RtD won't exactly be new ground for me (RtD is a rewrite of CS).

I also need to work on my dolls. Bleh.

Well I have gotten slightly further, i.ie. I gave Fate's Vincent ( his bandana. )

I am still to get onto the Seph dolls though, I'm still thinking through how I'm going to do the pants & belt for them.

Edit: ( Haircut and make-up! )

Got done sewing the grey wool to one of my blanks. I was right, it looks better than the white for Sephiroth's hair.

I don't have a picture yet, I think I'll be able to take one tomorrow - I've found natural light is better with the phone.

I made Fluffy ( something to wear. )

Since I'm out of snaps it's being held on by a piece of black wool cross-tied around Fluffy's torso.

I'm not sure whether I will make Fluffy a cloak, I'll think about it.

I finished the last bits on Cloudy-doll, namely his sleeve and his buttcape.

( Piccy! )

And here he is ( along with Vincent. )

And because I'm a sucker for ( cute poses... )

OMFE, I never realised quite how much of a packrat I am.

I went searching for a piece of orange fabric I once bought when I had ambitions to make saiyan plushies (back when I was in the Dragonball Z fandom) but ended up finding a whole stack of other things.

First off, I found a bag full of stretch fabric offcuts, a bag of assorted green fabrics, three of my (for a given value of me) diaries (whoa memories! The 2002 one has the pile of extra notes shoved in the front and back covers - lists of details like names and such. There's a hell of a lot of my personal (as in me, Mimi, the soulbond) history there.), my BG2:ToB manual, the two HP suplementary books (Quiddich and Magical Beasts) and two reels of thread.

I also have the Bint cringing beligerently at me because I pulled out one of the "playtoy" pieces of fabric and have decided it would be great for more Vincent cloaks (I have prettymuch decided I will start making plushies to sell on Ebay for fellow FF fans). The "playtoy" fabrics are pieces of fabric that have been bought over time just to play with - not to cut up for sewing. I think the Bint channelled some of that tendency into her scarf collection - scarfs don't get any questions about what you are going to make out of them.

I also found a bundle of three pieces of fabric that looks perfect for Turk suits and Rufus' suit, so they are definately on the chalkboard too (I'll need dye though, AC has convinced me of Rude being a black guy - albiet relatively light-skinned black guy, especially compared to Barrett).

Also found more calico which means more fabric for doll bodies. Looks like I will be making more of these things after Cloud and Sephi are done! (Though first up is encodedfate's Vincent. teneshi, you want one? If so, who? It would make more sense for me to mail them together.)

Now I am going to transcribe some of those lists in my diary onto the computer.

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! )

As I decided, I made a plushie, one of Vincent Valentine!
The pictures aren't great in quality, I took them with my phone.

( Lookit! )

He's small and cute and all mine. ^_^
