*stifles a sob* oh my god. This spoke to me in a way nothing else has.

a hard pill to swallow: if an audience can pick up on where the story is going, it’s a good story.

A kinda related note i hope you don’t mind me adding on: one of the most life-changing bits of story advice i ever received was actually in a class on “Revenge and Vengeance in the Ancient World,” if you can believe it. The professor was talking about how everyone in ancient Greece knew all the Greek myths back to front and told them over and over again - and someone asked why they would keep retelling the same stories if they already knew they ended.

She explained that basically it wasn’t the ending that was the most suspenseful or exciting part, but how you got there. This is why The Iliad spoils its own ending in the opening lines. This is why we have so many different retellings of Shakespeare, of Arthurian legends, of fairy tales. 

There are no truly original stories or truly unpredictable endings. So, IMO, it’s better to focus on how you as a writer/filmmaker/artist/whatever can bring something new to the body of the story rather than trying to shock and mislead your audience.

In ep 99 of Inuyasha, Koga is literally saying I can understand Inuyasha and Kagome travelling together but why would his brother be with a little kid and then his friends shut his mouth. These people know exactly what sessrin relationship would be if it wasn't familial or platonic, a pedophilic nonsense. They know it and still had the audacity to make this sequel. Sessrin is a ship of a child and an adult, it's clear cut pedophilia, let's not pretend it is anything else but that.

About grooming…

When reading this scene, I bet everyone agrees with me that Miroku’s actions here are totally gross and all wrong. We also know that he asks every woman he meets the same question. It does not make the situation less problematic because Koharu was in fact 11 at the time he asked her if she would bear his child somewhen. 

We see Kagome and Sango incredibly disgusted in this situation - even Inuyasha seems to be shocked by his friend’s immoral behavior.

You may say now that he did not want to sleep with her right away but when she was older which would be okay, wouldn’t it? NO. And why? Because Koharu looked up to him: After her family’s death, he was the only person who was nice to her. It was shown that he comforted her and gave her food as well, while she had to work hard and nobody cared for her. He became a person she trusted and looked up to. Having only met people who were not treating her nice and using her for working, she felt that Miroku was in fact a good person. And therefore she would not assume that he would ever intend to harm her or do something wrong - this is why she was happy when he asked her because she felt he cared for her and needed her. She considered his moral standards as right because she did not know better since she never learned it otherwise. Miroku was therefore in a situation in which he could influence the child’s will and view on things. As a result, Koharu was looking forward to Miroku to come back and take her with him because she thought it was the right thing, hoping for finally being loved if she did what he asked her to do.

If she had grown up in another environment for example a healthy family and therefore had learned moral standards, she would not have felt comfortable while being asked this question. 

And now please think of Rin, who spent much more time with Sesshomaru, who was protected by him and even brought back from death. She does not only look up to Sesshomaru, she idolizes him and would follow him everywhere. And why? Because he cared for her when nobody did. Because he became a kind of father figure to her when she was all alone. Because he gave her the feeling of having a home, a family. This makes Rin even more influenceable than Koharu. And now please think if a fkn romance between her and our beloved Lord of the West would be a healthy relationship - Nah, it wouldn’t. And in fact, it would not only be immoral and wrong, it would destroy a beautiful character dynamic between those two which would also lead to the complete loss of their original characters and it’s development. And despite that - they do not even fit together characterwise. She is his playful and happy daughter that helped him to grow in character - and this is how it should stay.

Really though, if you just watch Crisis Core’s ending and post credits cutscene, it legitimately looks a lot like Cloud’s out to avenge his boyfriend, showing up in Midgar wearing his clothes, wielding his sword, bearing his title, and going after the company responsible for Zack’s death.

What’s with cleriths and their shared fourth grade level comprehension of the complexities of human interaction? Everything’s either at pure face value, or deliberately omitted from their memory. I know it’s intentional because the existence of non-pink girls gives them the runny craps, but they’re really out here like “Cloud called Tifa crazy, clearly it’s because he hates her” and “Cloud said he didn’t recall what he did with the flower, clearly it’s because he legit forgot because Tifa’s just that unimportant.”

They’ll take “gotta look forward, not back” like they’re reading a plain script but they’ll ignore Aerith’s face, her voice, her animation, the context, everything that suggests there’s more to it than just letters in words. So it’s pretty weird then that everything else she says practically doesn’t exist. “It isn’t real”? All that talk about Tifa being important to Cloud while also displaying an obvious meta knowledge of things that she shouldn’t, egging him on about it at every chance and expressing happiness about it, “follow your heart”, suddenly none of Aerith’s dialogue holds any weight? Only when it suits their shippy narrative? I guess we’re past the age of calling Tifa a liar then, apparently according to cleriths, that role belongs to the girl in pink now.

Came back to the FF7 fandom and was surprised too see more vitriol from the clerith camp Cali, irajule, arthurchan, kurohyn however you spell it are probably the most obnoxious people in the fandom on twitter Funny how Cali is saying Tifa was called “A heroine of the game” not “THE heroine” by Nojima when the freaking translation of the episode said “THE heroine” And she has the gall to tell her cult that Clotis are spreading misinformation about the translation of the episode

What’s happened here is they’re still really sore over the poll that one marketing guy held over twitter  ( ie. the dude who joined in on the Tifa hype onstage a couple minutes before she was finally revealed )

So now they’re pinning the blame over “the heroine / a heroine” translation onto him, saying it’s biased, saying the team took liberties, that there’s no word in the Japanese language for “the” so it should’ve just been “a”    --    which is whatever, we’ve already had that quote from Nomura for months and months where he explains how Tifa and Aerith are DOUBLE HEROINES, cleriths just straight up ignored this until it was convenient for them to acknowledge it.

What’s dumb is they’re just being gaslighty now, acting like Clotis don’t have a right to celebrate Tifa’s spotlight, acting like they suddenly forgot that the entire reason why Tifa fans feel seen now is that cleriths themselves have been nonstop shoving them down with claims that she’s unimportant, that she does nothing for the story, that she just sits around in the Lifestream and doesn’t help. When cleriths post that key art cropping out everyone but Cloud and Aerith and labelling it “hero and heroine”? That’s that shit.

Oh, and if the “Tifa is the heroine” translation is faulty due to language despite that video being officially endorsed, so too are the scraps from old gaming magazines that Cali clerith just pulled out her rear to pacify her chickens. You know, the type of game articles that are written / translated by employees in their cubicles? Those are all biased inaccurate mistranslations. lol.

What is this I saw in your post about a leaked script for FFVIIR?

There was a big ol’ leak that happened some months back, people had a hold of unreleased footage and a ton of unfinished images, and I guess at some point there were a handful who got their hands on a file with the script. I’d heard accusations about people from both sides anonymously messaging ship-centric spoilers or something, or would mention a certain thing from the script and request a DM if you wanted to know details that they wouldn’t otherwise want to blast on their timeline, but it’s definitely for the best that the whole script thing stayed sort of on the down low for the most part. No idea where to even find it at this point tbh, but the rest of the leaks honestly just take a quick google / reddit search. 

[mogrr]

Tifas been confirmed as the heroine of the game and CxA still manage to convince themselves that she’s not important to the plot because the devs apparently already told us everything there is to now about Tifa, which consequently makes her unimportant. Aerith’s Story they’re keeping under wraps though so that shows she’s more important. Is their ship that threatend by Tifa that they refuse to admit that both girls are important to the plot? I never see Clotis deny Aeriths importance. Its vexing

What I don’t understand is this thought process that Tifa isn’t a character with spoilers    -    she’s one of the biggest spoilers? If only cleriths played past Disc One, maybe they’d get a clue. But beyond that, it’s been stressed over and over that the Remake isn’t gonna be a 1:1 replica, they’re clearly adding a boatload of completely new content with the most explicit example right now being Biggs, Wedge, and Jessie. So… who’s to say there’s absolutely nothing left of Tifa’s story to explore that wasn’t already in the og? There’s a lot about her life that’s never been covered. There’s a lot of surprising stuff they might be doing with her, and it’d be smart for them to flesh out these blank spaces in the timeline of her story, just like how they sorely need to do that for Aerith. 

The clerith logic on this whole “Tifa isn’t important” era is just… it isn’t there. The insecurity is jumping out so hard with all this press, but what else is new. They’re always gonna be out here scrambling to cover their asses, it’s gotta be the most unnecessary stressful fandom existence. Maybe instead of re-convincing their flock of hens that Aerith is THE heroine and that cloti could never be canon with all these doubly compromised translations and pick-and-choosy information, they should just tell their crying cleriths this:  It doesn’t matter. Don’t seek negativity where it doesn’t need to exist. Both characters are beloved. There’s enough room here for all of our favorites.
