CAIRAI STAYS SERVING ON GOD FR FR
lightning is defined by her triumph over three patriarchal figures and caius is still one of them, regardless of this fandom dubbing him a "feminist." the parallels they share are a callback to lightning’s own reckoning with an authoritative and oppressive paternal identity at the beginning of ffxiii. it's his eventual secession (submission 😯) to/for her that is of intrigue, as much jadedness as it is duty and atonement. lightning lives to spite him
I'm appalled I haven't seen anyone do this yet
drawing something for new years (*´∇`*)

i miss them
Sephiroth:(has locked eyes with caius)
Caius:(has locked eyes with sephiroth)

Lightning:Shit just got real.

My first ever CaiRai fanart!!! 😍⚡✨
Caius x Lightning ALL THE WAAAAY!
P.S. Im too lazy to draw the minor details on her sword 😅. Let us just think that its a different kind of sword in this alternate universe 😁.
And I forgot to add depth to their hair colors (I just realized that). 😅
Its time to get poetic for this "fated rivals" romance.
Are they really 'fated' to be each other's rivals?
Or do they have the choice to make amends with each other?
