orthodox iconography sephiroth

I really like how they gave Sephiroth more greenish eyes in the remakes instead of OG or Dissidia's blue/cyan. They fit him so much more

I don't know if I ever shared my headcanon about Miniroth and his height when Ever Crisis came out? I tend to enjoy figuring stuff like this out for my fics.

My headcanon is that because of the Jenova cells in his biology, his growth spurt during puberty wasn't just standard human development; it essentially triggered a massive physical transformation that packed on sheer muscle mass, broadened his frame into a distinct "V-shape," and added nearly a foot and a half of height to turn him into the imposing, 6'7" figure he is today.

And as we see him in Ever Crisis, he is short and lanky. This is what I believe he is at throughout his lifestages.

Age 2 to 4: 3'0" - 3.6".

Age 12 to 14: 5'2"

Age 16: 5'10"

Age 18 to 20: 6'4"

Rest of his adulthood: 6'7"

like

ok Lisa we get it that’s fucked up….. did you take into consideration that he’s a big man with a sexy voice?

No? then you need to go back and your research cuz you’re not a real monster fucker like the rest of us ( I say as a joke you guys 🙄 )

also your telling me he wouldn’t have some freaky tentacle shit going on? bro he’s half alien THE SMUT WRITES IT SELF ( also go over to @crisiscutie cuz they are freaking awesome sauce and they need some love right now)

also I will elaborate more on this in another post but there is no way in hell Lucrecia had enough sexual intercourse with hojo to conceive sehpy, also sehpy suspiciously looks a lot a a combination between Lucrecia and Vincent…… soooooo either Lucrecia was already pregnant with sephy when she decided ( for some fuckin reason because she accidentally killed her baby daddy’s dad or some shit ) to get with hojo… which…..

The 7-Day Sleep Deprivation and Sweat Cocoon

So, why do I think Sephiroth was just nasty after that 7 days before he burnt down the town? And this is totally not me avoiding calling in refills because my avoidance is high today. Surely, not that.

Sephiroth spent seven sleepless days obsessively reading through Hojo’s files. When the human body undergoes extreme sleep deprivation, it enters a prolonged "fight-or-flight" state. Cortisol (the stress hormone) spikes dramatically.

One of the direct side effects of surging cortisol and adrenaline is hyperhidrosis: excessive sweating, specifically from the apocrine glands. Unlike regular cooling sweat, apocrine sweat is thick, full of lipids and proteins, and reacts with skin bacteria to create a sharp, pungent body odor.

Furthermore, he never changed his clothes. He was locked in that basement wearing his full SOLDIER uniform: heavy leather, thick pauldrons, a long coat, and combat boots. Leather doesn't breathe. For seven days, he was marinating in a sealed microclimate of high-stress sweat, dead skin cells, and body heat.

Sephiroth’s floor-length silver hair is his signature, but hair is a magnet for environmental filth. Shinra Manor is a decrepit, abandoned estate full of dust, mold, and decay. Sephiroth wasn't gently turning pages. He was frantically tearing through old, dusty, most-likely mildew-ridden paper files left behind by Hojo. All of that subterranean dust and paper debris would have settled straight into his mane.

More importantly, let’s talk about sebum. The scalp naturally produces sebum (oil) to protect the hair. After seven days without a wash, that oil builds up heavily, starting at the roots and traveling down. Because Sephiroth is infused with massive amounts of Mako, his biological processes are amplified. It’s highly likely his sebaceous glands were working overtime under stress. His pristine, fluffy silver hair would have turned into a heavy, dark, stringy, oil-slicked mess, stuck to his face and neck with sweat.

The Shinra Manor basement is not a ventilated, climate-controlled library. It is a stone dungeon built directly over underground caverns, likely damp, humid, and heavy with the scent of stagnant water and old stone. There is no air circulation. Any smell Sephiroth generated didn't dissipate. It hovered in the air around him, settling back into his clothes and hair.

By day four or five, the sheer lack of hygiene would cause a breakdown of the skin barrier. Combined with the smell of old paper, rot, and leather, he would have smelled less like a legendary hero and more like a man that had been trapped in a swamp.

The psychological break is the final piece. Sephiroth was experiencing a complete existential collapse. He stopped perceiving himself as human, transitioning into the mindset of a god/Cetra hybrid. When someone is in the middle of a massive psychotic break, basic human functions—like noticing you are covered in grease, that your boots are full of sweat, or that you haven't washed your face—completely vanish. He didn't care that he was disgusting because the human standard of cleanliness no longer applied to him.

So, when he finally stepped out to burn the town down, he wouldn't have been a flawless icon. He would have been a terrifying, bloodshot-eyed specter with matted, oily hair, smelling of ancient dust, heavy sour sweat, and leather, making his descent into madness look—and smell—downright feral. Not to mention the matted hair from lack of brushing.
