Why I like themI’ve been told that parents are obligated to care about their children. OKAY in all seriousness, though, I find Sephiroth to be singularly fascinating in that everyone knows him and yet, no matter what happened, he was always alone. He’s the end result of someone else’s hubris; he’s the mistake that almost damned the world, and he’s going to spend the rest of forever picking up the pieces. Poor kid.
Why I don’tI LOVE MY SON DAMMIT
Favorite episode (scene if movie)Uhhh I’m torn between the scene in the Reactor where he tells Genesis “you will rot” in Crisis Core and the bit where he’s tearing through the library like a man obsessed in OGC. How slowly all the books come off the shelves and get stacked up all over the place--and then suddenly, one evening, they’re all put back and Sephiroth is just sitting at the desk, waiting for someone to find him. Hella powerful sequences, man.
Favorite season/movieMy favorite Sephiroth is Crisis Core Sephiroth because he's the most three-dimensional character in comparison to his other portrayals.
Favorite lineUgh how do I choose? It’s hard to explain how powerful Sephiroth’s dialogue is without going over the context behind them, but I really love his first greeting to Cloud in AC, right after Kadaj ate Jenova’s head. The word he uses (”sashiburi”)is identical to the one Tifa used when she found Cloud in the trainyard in OGC, because he’s a bitch and I love him.
Favorite outfitDISSIDIA 100% I LOVE IT SO MUCH
OTPI ship Seph with Genesis and with Cloud contingent on what canon we’re playing in and what time period.
BrotpTseng in-canon, because I’m totally here for Turks and SOLDIER being bros. I've RP’d in a number of AUs where he winds up bro-ing it up with Nero, though, and I’ve really enjoyed that.
Head CanonSephiroth actually has a huge number of ridiculous allergies, but because he’s enhanced they never present. If he were to somehow get powered down, though...
Unpopular opinionAll opinions are unpopular with someone? I guess my biggest would be that Sephiroth actually doesn’t regret anything he did and believes that he was entitled to all of it. He’s not an inherently good person.
A wishI’d like for Sephiroth, at some point somewhere in some corner of the multiverse, to find out about Lucrecia. I think it would change a lot of things for him to find out that he had an actual mother.
An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happenCan we keep people away from that whole Oedipus complex thing this time around?
5 words to best describe themAs a headline? “Literal sociopath capable of affection.”
My nickname for themSeph! Sephy. Psychoroth? I have a few, but I usually just call him Seph.
