Sailor §trange

I'll say one thing about the headache which is the latest thing spawned by the Griever-bunny, it translates into quite a bit of Squall/Cloud.

I should note, G-verse Squall at 26 years of age (which is about where I'd tentatively set this crossover mess) looks like KH2!Leon. That's because I personally think Leon is damn gorgeous, but on a character level, I prefer Commander Leonhart better than his Radiant Heart alter ego. Same thing applies with Cloud.


So... any excuse for crossover pairing huh? Oh, that and much "Bzuh?" moments when people run into past/future versions of themselves. I think FFX takes the cake for that one (probably because the X-2 versions are post-game ... and I like Yunalai, so Tidus didn't come back) - oh and mid-XII!Basch attacking mid-RW!Basch thinking he's Noah. XDDD

Nabbed off of bard_linn - ( Almost all of this is FF too... )

It does wonders to sleep on an issue.

I have come to a slightly stable point on my Squall/Rinoa issues, either it's a case of them settling into something non-romantic when they get over the initial mania, or I will start looking to see if there's any decent Seifer/Squall/Rinoa threesomes. Doesn't help my pervy incest-loving side though.

I have badgers on the brain for the moment. I'll have to cure that with Tonberries.

Can't help it, *Poings at icon* my Strifentine obsession demanded it.

Yesterday I ran across something I'd seen before, the idea that Rude had a crush on Tifa. So, what do I do when I encounter this sort of thing? Look up FF.net.

Yeah, yeah, I know FF.net is the Pit of Voles but it's also the first place to go. I got lucky though, even with character sorting having only been in FF7 for a short time I found something good: Human Touch - a really good fic, feature pairing Rude/Tifa.

I think I have found a pairing I could read Tifa in, but I bet it's not common. Oh well.

While I still swear to Cloud/Sephiroth as my OTP I have come to the conclusion that my second OTP is Cloud/Vincent and my OT3 Cloud/Vincent/Sephiroth.

And I I know that second pairing is bloody rare and as for the threesome? :P I guess I'll just have to draw chibi pics for them!

I was finally updating my icon collection and got thinking about character bashing.

Now unlike some of the critics on fanficrants I don't mind character bashing - within reason though. It can be funny to read even if the bashed character is horribly OOC. On the other hand I like fics that don't bash those poor saps who bear the brunt of such abuse and even moreso when the author admits to disliking the character but states they are actively trying not to bash.

But when it comes down to it, what is the basic reason behind bashing? I personally blame shipping.

So you like seeing a certain two people put together huh? Well bully for you! Oh wait... what about him/her? You're gonna say they did WHAT? Uhh-huh... *Backs off slowly.*

See what I mean?

So where am I going here? Umm, I don't know. Shipping engenders bashing, that's what I think.

You know I hate that sort of fangirl who only likes the charcters of a given game/movie/TVshow because of TEH PRETTEH but I am starting fall under that influence myself.

I am starting to feel a tad deprived that I don't know enough about Final Fantasy 7 to allow myself to read fanfics about it.

Frankly, I want an excuse to go read Cloud/Sephiroth slash because they're cute!!!!!!

Maybe I'll have to pull my ass into gear and read the walkthrough I downloaded.

Oh, and the Square Enix site for FF7 AC? Crap. For all it's bright pretty graphics most of the text is in japanese. The only good thing was the waiting screen at the begining with a picture of Cloud and Sephiroth on it.

*Watch me trout myself into a pulp!* Fangirl! *Thump* Fangirl! *Thump* Fangirl! *Thump*


ETA: Actually, I found an easier way, I read the Cloud/Sephiroth Ship Manifesto which had a rundown about the game plot and I'm now reading one of the recommended fics from it. Yayness.
