[pixel of me wearing one of my fave outfits by Sasha/@emotionalbaby!] Some identifying info for new followers: white, queer (ace lesbian), cis, she/her/hers, mentally ill, allistic. My url is named after my favorite ASOIAF char and my hopes that true love will bring her back lmao, and my blog title is named after a friend's way of referring to the polygon people of the original FFVII game, of which I am inexplicably enamoured. I have a fandom list but I haven't updated it in like a lifetime (ditto all my fandom sideblogs), so right now I'll just say my main fandoms are videogames - but I'm new to gaming so I've mostly been catching up on my Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Zelda, and the like! - cartoons, and shows on ABC Family. I still love Catelyn Tully (POV character moms are pretty much my ultimate character archetype), but I'm very burnt out on ASOIAF/GOT overall so talk about her/them will be sparing. Here is a super-duper-can't-get-enough favorites of the moment list, if you want more of an idea of what to expect here: Tifa Lockhart (+ Barret, Yuffie, Aerith, and sometimes Cloud), Princess Hilda of Lorule, Axel and Xion (+ Sora, Namine, Riku, EVERYONE), Amber Riley, Laverne Cox, Tyler Posey, Garnet Amethyst and Pearl (and STEVEN!) (and Connie.), Catelyn Tully now and always. I try to keep things as accessible as possible so feel free to let me know if there's anything more I can do! I tag for anything I'm asked to tag for, and try to make sure there are warning headers on posts for common triggers (for anyone not using TS, reading from my main page, etc); if you need something tagged or if tagging isn't enough for certain triggers, definitely feel free to let me know! If you're looking for a specific fandom tag to backread know that when I make original posts sometimes I tag with "fandom name" and sometimes I tag with "fandom name tag" because I'm twitchy about the post showing up in people's tracked tags, haha. Pointing this out since I love backreading other people's fandom tags when I get into a new shared fandom and yeah. (Example: "final fantasy vii" AND "final fantasy vii tag" = a motley assortment of all my ffvii feels!)
I watched Serial Experiments Lain twice in one week and immediately had to write a crossover with Madoka so enjoy one of the shortest crossover fics ever lmao.

It’s as simple as this:
Lain is alone until she isn’t. She looks up, across, and there is tea and madeleines and a shock of color in an endless sea of nothingness, a distortion Lain gladly welcomes. The girl’s dress seems to trail on forever, all whites and pinks and a purple that reminds Lain of bruise colored shadows.
"Kaname Madoka," Lain says, because there is nothing Lain does not know and that includes the identity of the person sitting before her.
Madoka smiles and it’s like Alice’s.
"Hello, Lain-chan."
Madoka’s voice has all the sweetness of her smile and a lump wedges itself in her throat. She swallows around it, tears pooling in her eyes. It’s not the Alice-like quality of Madoka’s smile though she’d be lying if she said that wasn’t part of it—it’s being acknowledged, being known. No one knows Lain, not anymore. Lain’s long since made her peace but this—
It’s not the person who matters most but it’s still more than she ever thought she’d get.
Lain smiles through her tears.
"It’s nice to finally meet you, Madoka."

Madoka fills the room, changes it with her presence. When she is around, the electrical hum that has provided accompaniment to nearly every moment of Iwakura Lain’s life dulls to nothing. There is only the soft but warm tones of Madoka’s voice, the clinking of tea spoons, and silence.

"You’re lucky," says Lain once, though not unkindly. Lain is Lain, and Madoka is Madoka, and she really isn’t bitter. It’s just—Alice was seventeen and beautiful and most times seeing her is an affirmation and others it just leaves her tired and lonely. "You’re still remembered. You’re still loved."
"So are you," Madoka says, impossibly gentle, and Lain wonders if she will ever get used to this being true.
I say it again and again, but I adore the field models from Final Fantasy VII so much. So I drew more of them this time, haha.
Although, admittedly, I didn’t have great references for Barret and Tifa’s field models, but whatever. Still not sure if, or when, the field models gain mouths. Sometimes I see them with just flat, line-shaped mouths, but sometimes I don’t?
(This is a scheduled post, since I’m out at my girlfriend’s for the weekend for birthday celebrationsss.)
