as always, this is just a personal headcanon, but one that i've put enough thought into to want to share with others. everyone is entitled to their preferred ships, version of aeriseph, and interpretation of these characters / the plot, whatever. still, courtesy/credit towards my own perspective is much appreciated!

You didnt even need to explain why you hc transfem Aerith. I just looked at it and said "shush theres no explanation needed. aerith is our transfem goddess"

lol. i’ve put enough thought into it that i def wanted to share my reasons, and i like to be able to justify my hcs on a characterization and thematic level. but i appreciate you!!!

consider the end of all things

after years of keeping to myself i will finally be posting 3 separate explanations with text/art for my transfem sephiroth + aerith hcs and what the deal is with my aeriseph in general over the next 2 days. sharing my attempts at narrative comps is not enough i need my intentions and reasons to be clear. so look forward to THAT i guess

an in-universe photo from the real-world fic i’m writing. valentine’s day, 1996, at the civic opera house. this is the only photo that aerith has to show people after sephiroth goes missing.

a scene from the road trip portion of ff1997 (the real-world fic i’m writing) while aerith and her friends are tracking sephiroth down across the country following her sudden disappearance. a perilous incident on the road in arizona has aerith seeking new, unseemly coping strategies. meanwhile, sephiroth drives by a burning barn in idaho and knows that the sight was meant for her alone.

i wanted to make a piece to portray the start of sephiroth’s inner conflict in my personal vision for aeriseph. those are millipedes over her heart and aerith’s hand. aerith is open and curious to her desires (and doesn't know sephiroth's true nature at this point) so the milipede on her hand is outstretched, while sephiroth is too tightly-wound. her "human heart" has long atrophied away, replaced by parasitic instinct and the grudge around which her whole being centers. so she has no way make sense of how aerith feels and what those feelings stir in her as well. i'm passionate about contrasting many aeriseph portrayals i see where sephiroth's want is the dominant/driving emotion for them both, because i just don't believe this undead, reanimated version of sephiroth is even capable of that on her own, without aerith stoking it. sephiroth is not receptive to her own feelings because she lacks the humanity to process and accept it, so she sees her desires as an unwanted, feverish affliction. in this particular way, aerith holds the power. sephiroth knows that and detests it. the milipede curls up even at the gentlest touch.

the river that runs with love won't run dry

this piece is supposed to be representative of how vincent remembers his parents; his vision of grimoire is clear but all that remains in his memory of his mother is a woman-shaped hole. the red cloth spilling over her stomach takes on the visual metaphor of blood spilling from her womb, pointing towards vincent's self-blame for her premature death.
