-save for a few select of things, i don't sort my reblogs with tags
-i reblog in bursts, queue basically only gets used for if i hit post limit, and i don't have a tag for queued posts, so you wouldn't know
-this is a multi fandoms blog. even with a major hyperfix i rarely if ever reblog exclusively one thing
-my dms are open but i cannot promise i'll respond, i'm not very good with starting or maintaining conversations
-i don't tend to reblog a lot of real world politics. tumblr is my safe space to post on the internet and i really don't have the mental and emotional energy for everything going on in the world
ff7
final fantasy vii og is my favorite game of all time, and i will reblog it. A LOT. especially when new additions come out like the remake trilogy. i do have sorting tags for it, but this is the only fandom i do that for. while my older reblogged posts are not fully sorted, generally how i sort them now (not counting character tags) is
ff7: default tag, if lone it usually has something to do with the general game as opposed to a specific character
ff7 party: as it says on the tin, the 9 main playable characters
avalanche: marlene, biggs wedge and jessie- or the group from the yuffie side story (or before crisis but i don't really cater to that game)
the turks: also as it says on the tin, primarily tseng reno rude and elena- but also cissnei or any other before crisis turks
soldier firsts: sephiroth, angeal, genesis, and zack
“We are descended from the Witches you couldn’t burn!”
It’s a nice sentiment, I like the energy, I do. That said, I am actually descended from a “Salem Witch,” and my Ancestor, Mary Isham Towne, was not burnt at the stake, she was hanged by the neck until dead. We’re not savages y’know.
Furthermore, Mary Isham Towne was a churchgoing, god-fearing woman, who just so happened to be a widow who owned a piece of land that the local judge wanted to purchase, but which she refused to sell, and which he set out to acquire pretty much immediately after he sentenced her execution.
i haven't seen many people talking about it but i find it so neat the shadow crystals are broken dreams, and make sense with the bosses in their contexts
like spamton finding the crystal in the neo body being that abandoned dream for it's artist throwing away the project, breaking off the dream, because having the actual body isn't feasible (at least in this universe). It'd also make Sneo smelling like "Rotten Glass" make more sense as the dream has been dead for awhile.
gerson found the shadow crystal in his desk, where he's kept and where alvin works, who's been struggling to write his own sermon and live up to the reputation of his father, but with susie carrying gerson's message, learns to latch onto that dream again.
pink says the body had the crystal when she got there, and i believe it's tied to the mad ghost possessing the figurine after seeing it but couldn't move in it, or it even could be tied to alphys who (presumably) gave asgore the doll in the first place but I'm more tied with the former.
i just think this context on the shadow crystals this chapter is so neat and opens up a sea of questions in what the shadow crystal attained from the knight means and why it's just a chip off their entire blade. Like one whole lost dream.
And as for what seam is making I think it's an item we'll use to counter them in the ending chapters.
one more thing, as for what they represent in the light world, maybe they're shards of something whole and my theory is they combine to be a window, or perhaps a mirror, like a literal window to a mirroring reality, and why it doesn't change in the prophecy rooms is because the game has one(?) ending.
But I think it's tied more to Kris's perception of themself, the "despite everything, it's still you" line, and how there's so much emphasis behind self perception in the game and how that could be shattered by an interfering controlling party. but I guess we'll wait and see.
