Haven’t done any AGS in a while so ✨✨have some headcanons✨✨

All three of them are naturally quiet people but Angeal is the most talkative. People assume Genesis is the one who talks the most but unless he is comfortable in your presence it’s very unlikely Genesis will even acknowledge your existence.

People accuse Sephiroth of being uptight, but those people haven’t seen him hide behind an office plant just to avoid Director Scarlett.

It is not uncommon to find Angeal or Sephiroth standing with their jacket wrapped around Genesis who is wrapped around them.

It is therefore, also not unusual to hear Angeal yelp at how cold Genesis nose and hands are when they inevitably get shoved into his neck or up his shirt.

Sephiroth is a fall girlie and Square says I’m right. He is however very critical of pumpkin flavoured things. Angeal has had to learn how to make pumpkin spice latte’s as well as mass producing pumpkin soup and pie from September through to November.

Genesis is a summer girlie. He appreciates the aesthetic of fall and obviously he’s a slut for Apple flavoured anything, but he needs heat to function.

Angeal prefers the spring. Lots of new growth, things are in bloom when he’s on mission, and he’s a sucker for baby lambs and chocobo chicks.

The way to Angeal’s heart is chocolate. A box of chocolates for his birthday is never a cop out. He says it’s because they couldn’t really afford sweet treats growing up, but Genesis knows it’s because he once baked Angeal a tray of double chocolate brownies and Angeal’s never been the same since.

Sephiroth is very susceptible to falling asleep with his head on either man’s shoulder. Zack has seen it, and has been scolded for talking too loud after seeing it. The words “Zackary shenzi mari jacalena hyène Fair, if you wake him I swear to shiva I’ll court martial you” were not the words he’d expected to hear from his mentors mouth.

Sephiroth bickers with Angeal more than he bickers with Genesis. Genesis is forever offended that people think he’s the hot headed one. Meanwhile Angeal is trying to help with the power of friendship and Sephiroth just wants to wallow in PEACE Angeal!

That’s not to say he doesn’t bicker with Genesis, it’s just that usually their bickering is more not speaking until one or both of them end up exploding, saying something heinous and then Apologising to each other when it’s clear said heinous thing was too far. Neither of them are particularly good at emotional regulation and take fighting a little too seriously.

Only Genesis and Angeal know that Sephiroth’s lower back is ticklish and he jack knifes backwards if you touch him there.

Genesis’s feet are not to be touched. He will donkey kick you into the middle of next week.

Angeal is the one with no ticklish spots. It drives the other two insane.

Few people have seen Sephiroth be immature but Genesis knows that if he sticks his tongue out at Seph, the man with stick his own out back at him. Doesn’t have to be for petty reasons, sometimes it’s just a weird friendly greeting.

Angeal once stole an apple chip from Genesis mouth, with his own mouth and Genesis was flustered by this for a full six minutes while Sephiroth laughed himself under the table at how red the former had gone. They were 17 and in a very crowded mess hall.

Been super busy and haven’t been able to watch anything related to TFS episode 2 still but anyways i think Sephiroth would sleep fight. Like sleep walking but he doesn’t go anywhere. Just decks his pillow or punches the air then rolls over and goes back to sleep.

Genesis and Angeal have been punched several times over the course of their friendship when sharing a bed with him because of this

AGS and childhood teddy bears because I said so:

Angeal: His childhood teddy bear was made by his mother. It has lopsided ears and a wonky eye and his name is “Freddy”. Angeal did not name Freddy, Angeal’s dad named Freddy and really he wouldn’t have it any other way.

As a child Angeal took Freddy pretty much everywhere with him: to the market, do the beach, the doctors office. Even, on one very horrifically memorable occasion, to a funeral…. Now Freddy sits on his night stand looking a little worse for wear but no less loved. Angeal patches up every moth eaten hole and replaces any lost stuffing. He’s got a book on his shelf about Teddy bear repairing and no one is willing to make even the tiniest bit of fun of him. Freddy, to Angeal, is as important as the Buster sword.

Except Zack doesn’t really know what happened to Freddy after he is captured. He’d managed to rescue the little bear before Shinra came in to erase Angeal’s existence but now…?

Genesis: Genesis’ childhood teddybear sits in his bedroom on his bed and gods help you if you touch it. Genesis had many toys growing up, and all of them had backstories and personalities but Gigi was special. The bear had been given to Genesis by his mother after a trip to Junon when he was three. She had been away for weeks and despite the fact that she otherwise showed little interest in him past what he wore and ate, Genesis had missed her so much he’d thrown up crying the night she left. When she came back, bear in hand Genesis had been so delighted at the unusual display of motherly love that he’d completely failed to realise the bear had not come from Junon nor had it come from his mother. In fact the little bear came from a tiny toy shop in the market place and had been bought for him by his Nanny, who had accosted Genevieve Rhapsodos in the hall muttering:

“If he thinks it’s from you he may just be soothed better when you go away again.”

It did and Genesis was never any the wiser. All anyone ever had to do to get him to shut up was hand him Gigi and he promptly curled up either with a book or to sleep. Even when he burned Gigi to a crisp in his rage over the lie that was his life, he never knew his “mother” had not been the one to buy the bear.

Sephiroth: Sephiroth did not have a childhood stuffed animal or any kind. Hojo thought them inane while Gast fretted about the germs they carried, so Sephiroth went without. He had his locket and that was all that mattered to him for a very long time until….

Seeing Freddy and Gigi, Sephiroth is hit with unimaginable envy over what could have been. The loss he feels is stupid. It was an inanimate object for Gaia’s sake! He should not be bereft at the sight of it! Except he is, and he wants his own so badly it aches.

Sephiroth has a little ritual of patting Freddy gently on the head in greeting and nodding to Gigi when he sits on his friends beds. Angeal watches him with sympathy in his gaze while Genesis watches him like a hawk around his bear. But both of them know the reason behind the gesture and never point it out.

Until one holiday Angeal hands him a little brown paper wrapped package wrapped up in red and white twine, the way the shop owners used to wrap the toys in Banora. When Seph opens it he doesn’t speak, just touches the little tiger stuffy with reverence and lets the tears fall. Like Genesis, Sephiroth is very protective of teddy (he’s not imaginative with names leave him be). No one mentions that he stays on the pillow across from Sephiroth, and nobody mentions that most mornings Sephiroth wakes with teddy pressed to his cheek and subconsciously rubs its soft fur across his top lip soothingly.

Years from now HR will throw that same tiger doll into a black bag and into a land fill in the sector seven slums. Years from now a vendor will pick it out, clean it up and sell it to a tall man with a gun for a hand and a baby strapped to his chest who just rolled into town. He wants it for the baby, his daughter, and she sleeps with it every night.

Years and Years from now that same little girl will solomnly tell that tiger to watch over her brother while her uncle Cloud looks for a cure…

Years and years form now a winged stranger in a red leather coat with spy the little Tiger sat on the whiskey shelf for “safe keeping” and no one will know how to sooth him because no one knows what’s wrong.

AGS and skiing or snowboarding

Angeal: He could do both but prefers skiing. He’s not very sporty about it; it’s just a casual, fun thing for him. He may race the others for fun sometimes.

Sephiroth: He tried snowboarding but ate shit and died. Skiing works better for him but he has a hard time finding the right length skis cause he’s so tall. He casually gets a bit competitive with it, trying to do tricks and stuff but still casual.

Genesis: He tried to do skiing to compete with Sephiroth but kept crossing his skis and falling. He also hates how skis force him to walk like the clown he really is. He goes to snowboarding instead because he thinks it looks cooler. He sees Sephiroth trying to do skiing tricks so he very competitively tries to learn the most dangerous, impressive snowboarding tricks.
