not enough people are reveling in the horrors that is sephiroth having SEVERE CPTSD!!

HGGFJFHF YEAH

Also, on a few lists, “hyper-vigilance” was a symptom…which….bruh

I watched a documentary about kids with CPTSD and also one on attachment disorders in infants after maternal neglect a while ago, and basically, when they put well-adjusted kids in a room with each other and some adults, it was all smiles, trust, camaraderie, play, fun, etc.. Those babies were bright and looking at the adults all the time! They bonded really easily.

But the kids with either the attachment disorder or the CPTSD just sat there looking on high alert. They didn’t sleep or rest, they didn’t trust the adults. They looked anxious and they were babies :(

The kids with the maternal neglect issues were known to look around the room and at the doors like they were waiting for someone. Waiting for someone to come back. It made me cry at the time, dude.

Anyway, Sephiroth first reminded me of the kids with the attachment disorders when I was going through OG and he seemed like he was looking for…something. When he found Jenova, I was like…”OH! WAIT IS THIS MOTHER THING DELIBERATE…”

And when I got to Lucrecia, as soon as she said “I never even got to hold him,” it all clicked. That explained a LOT 💀

I could not find hardly any analysis videos or forums on him (outside of tumblr) that even bothered to mention it. It’s hopefully gonna change with FS!

But what’s also becoming more blatant aside from the attachment disorder is the CPTSD, I agree. He showed up in episode 1 already a mess around the adults, not sure how to interact after isolation, really apologetic when he messed up and he wilted whenever Glenn yelled. Then we had that whole speech he gave when they confronted him about his ruthlessness and he basically gave away that he was trained to be afraid as a warrior. Deathly fearful, paranoid and reactive on the battlefield even with children and elderly because he believed he’d surely die if he hesitated or showed any compassion.

That basically means they beat fear into his head for a long time and put him in situations where he perfected the “kill or be killed” mindset.

(I’m so happy he does THIS with the Wutai troops as an adult though. HE LEARNED TO HESITATE AND OFFER HIS ENEMIES A CHANCE BEFORE JUST GOING FOR THE KILL SJDHDH)

But as for his younger self, what kid would be trained like that (especially by fucking Hojo) and not develop all of the exact traits Sephiroth has in these stories, honestly…I can’t even imagine.

He has the other symptoms of CPTSD too. He feels disconnected and different, he has serious issues with engaging or starting relationships, he dehumanizes himself, he speaks like the world is hopeless and HIS life is worthless outside of his missions, and he is apparently gonna say to Angeal something about them not being able to understand each other because of how they were raised….which fits with the “feeling like nobody can understand you” symptom.

Ugh. This seems to be a big part of what he has and it’s at its worst right now in episode 2 because now it’s not just the isolated war machine childhood + the Hojo horrors fucking him up, but we got everything that happened in Rhadore too.

I mean yeah, no WONDER this kid is closed off and falling into the Alissa/Jenova/Masamune trap or whatever. I bet he’s gonna have a mini Nibelheim or some kind of breakdown, and my hopes are in Angeal’s intervention. If anyone can get through to Sephiroth, it’s him.

‘Jihad teacher’ wanted Muslims to carry out arson in the West, court told

A teacher at an Islamic Sunday school wanted Muslims to carry out arson attacks in the West, a court heard.

A teacher at an Islamic Sunday school wanted Muslims to carry out arson attacks in the West, a court heard.

Dzhamilya Timaeva, 19, is accused of spreading “pro-Isis propaganda” by distributing a cartoon-style book calling on Muslims to wage jihad against non-believers.

The Old Bailey previously heard copies of the book, called “Little Muwahideen”, were found in a search of her home by police and that she had already distributed more copies.

On Thursday, it was alleged that Ms Timaeva had a video on her phone called “Incite The Believers” when she was arrested by police at Heathrow Airport’s Terminal Two as she was about to board a flight to Turkey in October 2022.

The clip encourages viewers to carry out arson attacks against buildings, forests and agricultural land in the West if they do not have a gun or a knife, it was heard.

While being questioned by police, Ms Timaeva was shown the film and said: “It’s the first time I watched the video”. But when she was rearrested in March 2023, police found she had made a voice note on her phone bragging about how she had lied to officers.

The court heard she said: “They were going through this sheet of why I was arrested and I was thinking this is nothing this is light work, like you guys have nothing on me.

“I’m sitting there like I’m chilling like I’m not even worried I’m not even scared – nothing! Like I’m so calm.

“And then after the video started on a tutorial on how to make explosives etc etc… and I had saved it on my phone and I forgot because I didn’t even watch the whole video.

“I like the start because it was a nicely edited video… I’m trying not to laugh because cos guys this one is not like me.”

Gareth Weetman, prosecuting, said Timaeva “wasn’t being truthful about not having watched the video”.

“She was not simply a devout Muslim but someone who believed that it was her duty to wage war against non-believers and instil that sense of duty in others”, he said.

‘On the path of Jihad’

Ms Timaeva was due to begin teaching classes at the Tawheed Islamic Education Centre, a Sunday school in Maidenhead, the Old Bailey has heard.

On the day after her home in Windsor was searched in 2023, a teacher at her school found her alone in an office trying to hide shredded paper in a cupboard, jurors heard.

The strips were reconstructed and found to relate to jihad with topics such as “Constants on the path of Jihad” and “Democracy: the modern idol.”

Ms Timaeva, who is on bail, denies disseminating terrorist documents and possessing a document for terrorist purposes between Oct 2022 and Feb 2023.

The trial continues.
