Folklore & mythology ideas!!

✧ "You're the seventh son of a seventh son. Do you have any idea how many things are looking for you right now?"

✧ The selkie didn't lose her skin. She hid it. She's been waiting for the right moment to leave for twenty years.

Some cute fluff prompts/scenarios for ur OTP ships !!!

They're at a lake in summer, and one pushes the other in.

Sneaking into a party neither of them were invited to and pretending to be related to everybody there

blanket forts. That's it. Put them in a blanket fort.

'Wait no you can't cry because then I'll cry and-- oh shit you're crying.'

A is talking animatedly about something they REALLY love and B is pretending to listen and they're genuinely trying to, they swear, but how could they concentrate on anything else when A has that light in their eyes?

Alternatively: A is talking animatedly about something they REALLY love and B is sat there taking notes because A's interest is their interest now too.

'You've got terrible morning breath.' 'So do you.' (they're kissing anyway.)

hair washing. most intimate thing ever. softest thing ever. im a sucker for hair washing.

'I hate you.' (jokingly) 'No, you don't!' (softly) 'No, I don't.'

At a wedding, they're dancing together, both of them pretending the ceremony has been thrown for them, not the real bride(s)/groom(s)

LET THEM HAVE A PILLOW FIGHT !!!! GOOD LORD BRING BACK PILLOW FIGHTS !!! BONUS POINTS IF THEY'RE KISSING BY THE END OF IT !!!!

Finding out that their friends all bet on their relationship

A seeing B interact with kids for the first time and just thinking. I'm so done for.

'I think I'm in love with you.' 'Did you mean to say that out loud?' 'Ah. Shit.'

[midday, after a long night/injury, A is just waking up for the first time.] 'Welcome back to the land of the living.' (groaning, barely awake, words almost indecipherable) 'Don't you land of the living me.'

Stealing the blanket !!! in bed !!! on the sofa !!! wherever !!! just tell me !!! which one is the blanket stealer !!!

A tracing the outline of B's face gently with their fingertips at night, believing them to be asleep- they're not, and it takes all the self-restraint B has in them to hide their smile.

"i think i want to be forgiven..."

Some fun facts about the development of Advent Children, specifically the remnants:

Kadaj's voice actor (Showtaro Morikubo) struggled greatly with capturing Kadaj's insane mood swings. He would switch from laughing to yelling to crying within the same sentence, and he couldn't really get it down pat. It was only after he started saying Kadaj's line in a frustrated frenzy that he got the lines done the way they wanted. Talk about method acting.

Yazoo's hair is so layered and complicated that every fight scene with Yazoo had to be animated by hand because his hair would completely bug out if they tried to use an automatic engine to animate it. They had a similar issue with Sephiroth but Yazoo's was constant.

Loz's super-speed was also hard to animate constantly, so they created a separate animation tool for it called the "Loz warp tool" that helped them animate it much faster. Additionally, a lot of Loz's lines had to be re-recorded because his voice actor accidentally made him sound "too cool."

And last but not least, Advent Children's director stated that the remnants of sephiroth as a collective reminded him of a "pretty boy band."

Moreover of what I was talking about earlier with Sephiroth and Aerith's dynamic--I don't think it's a coincidence that Aerith very slightly resembles Lucrecia. Which makes sense considering the fact that Sephiroth and Aerith were originally supposed to be siblings.

But it IS terribly ironic in hindsight because it actually does sort of psychologically explain why Sephiroth hates her and rejects her so violently. Because, in a way, it's him confronting the image of his mother, the maternal figure he craved, but could not find. He is feeding off of Jenova's toxic connection and pushing away the salvation he longed for all his life. For him, Aerith is a dagger, a force of nature with the ability to defeat him, render him powerless. In rejecting Lucrecia's image for the image of a false mother, he associates Aerith with the invader, his destruction.

Which is poignant because we see that some part of him DOES actually want to embrace true maternal love as we saw with Kadaj at the end of Advent Children. Kadaj is a piece of Sephiroth's psyche. And Aerith's kindness and warmth was enough to bring him into the Lifestream, thereby purging him of his sick attachment to Jenova.

In the end, Aerith is Sephiroth's greatest fear. Because she can defeat him physically AND psychologically. She is everything he could have been, everything he ever wanted, and everything he never knew. And he hates her all the more for it.

Because some part of him WANTS to go with her. Wants that gentle, affirming touch. Wants her warmth. Wants to be small. And held. And safe.

And home.
