-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.
I whipped this doodle together so I could have a pfp for it- I like the cleaving imagery enough that I'm happy with it but I wish I could represent the other disabilities I headcanon him with(mental disorders, hypermobility, chronic fatigue, frequent illness, whatevers up with his antennas ect he has many disabilities im sure im forgetting some). Considering the fact that Tenna is one of THE most disability-coded characters in the game, I wish he was more celebrated in this fact! And as someone who is both mentally and physically disabled, I always feel the need to step up to the task.
The things I struggle with are a massive part of my life- everyone who's disabled can attest to that. Having to plan your spoon usage for your day, having to find ways around inaccessibility, falling behind, doctors refusing to listen or treat you with respect- it's a day by day process that feels like an uphill climb. When I write about Tenna, something that's important to me is that I show just how difficult it would be to get back up from what he's been through, a battle that he has to fight every day whether he wants to or not. It's tough, and it's hard to accept this part of yourself, but the sooner you do, the sooner you can take care of yourself and live a more comfortable life. Easier said than done, obviously, but I wanted to explain why writing him as disabled as he is is important.
Fellow disabled folk- it's hard, but you're doing a good job and I'm proud of you. You don't need to be an inspiration. Just surviving is enough. You are worthy of that.
In the Soko ni Aru, Hikari. 2DMV, the members of 25-ji, Nightcord de. are all presented as different types of dolls. Kanade is a wind-up doll, linking to her mother's music box being an important item for her. Mafuyu is a ball-jointed doll, but has marionette strings, which could link to her arc of regaining autonomy. Ena is a ragdoll, linking to her background in art (and crafts). Mizuki seems to be a combination of a mannequin and porcelain doll, linking to her love of fashion and clothes design, and to her femininity.
