People who don’t get that it’s completely relatable and very human of Cloud to actively love Aerith past her death while continuing to love Tifa in his present life moving forward have clearly never watched Avatar: The Last Airbender and stanned Sokka,  and it shows.

Here’s a really sad compilation of Cali / astoryofalove / stray-arrows desperately fishing for Clerith crumbs and validation. Can you tell why I took this username? It’s funny.

CLOUD STRIFE

[cloudsbuster]

April 10th, 2020.  

[cloudsbuster]

I just think it’s interesting how months ago when only Cloud, Barret, and Aerith had been revealed we had Clerith shippers talking with great conviction about how this was a deliberate marketing move, how these Aerith-inclusive commercials were informing new players about how the entire story was going to revolve around her and this whole love story... And now they’ve changed their tune. Now that the spotlight’s been fairly consistently on Tifa, Cloud, and Cloti, suddenly the emphasis on certain characters and relationships means nothing anymore. Suddenly it’s not Square Enix informing players about the content of the story but actually just them tossing “unimportant” characters at the audience because they’re, wow, so “unimportant”... Because that’s the marketing move, right?  That’s totally how you advertise the second coming of an older very well known game. Cleriths are never wrong, you know. And if they are... good luck ever getting any of them to acknowledge it, they’d sooner eat their own feet.

The hypocrisy with them is on par maddening, as usual. They might be taking this one to the straw grasping Olympics, all this backwards logic gymnastics is definitely keeping these folks limber.

cleriths: Cloud only had a soft spot for Aerith,  he's mean to everyone else,  she’s the only one he cared about,  he has no reason to live without her,  only she could warm his frozen heart

the real honest game:

Some people really are just in it for clerith in all its minimal screentime.  Cloud’s a bittersweet character with such a moving story,  but to minimize the truth of his compassion and to pretend that this side of him doesn’t exist because it doesn’t work in favor of your ship’s narrative means you’re just butchering the entire story.  Cloud loves many people of his own volition.   Aerith is not the vehicle,  or the accessory,  or the device to this.

Sounds like something clerith stans should take up with Square Enix. The game developers are the ones putting the money and hours into “stealing clerith content”, consumers and fans of the media have nothing to do with that.  Clotis aren’t infiltrating the workforce and editing the Remake in their favor,  clotis aren’t grabbing Nomura by the wrist and forcing him to script things out this way.  If a company takes two character models and puts them on a screen together in some way shape or form, then.... Yes. That is content,  whether or not you think a scenario originally belonged to a different ship.  

Behaving as if certain pairings called dibs on arbitrary things like reaching for each other’s hands and now no other combination of characters can utilize this gesture is asinine at best,  especially when this wasn’t even the case back in 1997,  with Barret and Tifa both also doing this for Cloud in the original game.  And that’s just off the top of my head.

Sick move.

Cloud like,

“Halp…”

[seagreesclotiiscanon]

She’s really trying to convince her self and her ridiculous cult following on twitter that she and they shouldn’t be worried for Clerith. With that being said:

Tifa just isn’t used to being all over and clingy with Cloud. UNLIKE AERITH, Tifa knows the importance of personal space.

Also, it’s T-I-F-A, just spell her name. It’s really ridiculous that you keep censoring her name out of respect for fans, but still spew the garbage that you do on twitter.

[cloudsbuster]

Funny, “noticeably and physically uncomfortable” is exactly how I’d describe Cloud every time Aerith tries ripping his arm from its socket.
