The first of two images feature four artworks from our invited artists, surrounded by the Spirit & Strife darkened cloudy background with wisps of lifestream in the corners. First: Cloud in his Advent Children attire from @crimson-sun’s tarot card set, where he’s looking past the camera and ready to fight. Second: this study by  @likovacs is a close-up of Cloud's determined expression, based on his Remake design, with detailed highlights in his eyes. Third: this print sold in @nikusenpai​’s shop shows Cloud gazing directly forward with intensity despite the cuts on him, in his Remake attire and bathed in light from the lifestream. Fourth: this work from @seraphily’s portfolio shows Cloud floating in the lifestream with a calm but still wondering expression, wearing his Remake attire.

The second image contains an excerpt of writing from our invited writer, @aimeelouart (also found on AO3 as AimeeLouWrites). The text is set on the Spirit & Strife darkened cloudy background with wisps of lifestream in the corners. The excerpt reads:

"How would you have mako eyes if you're not a SOLDIER?" Cloud could hear the silent ‘idiot’ tacked onto the end of the question. For someone who hypothetically believed Cloud was a First, Genesis was being remarkably irreverent. Then again—it was Genesis. "I was bitten by a radioactive Sephiroth,” Cloud said, straight-faced. The look he got in return was absolutely priceless. He wished he had a PHS on hand to document it.

🌺 Merch Reveal: Large Die-Cut Sticker 🌺

This stand-out merch designed by @seraphily will be available for preorder as a part of our limited highest-tier bundle! The die-cut sticker is 4 x 2 inches (100 x 50 mm) and printed on durable vinyl, suited for both indoor and outdoor use.

Follow us @kairizine to see more merch reveals leading up to the Destiny's Embrace preorders, opening on March 28th!

[Image description:

The image is framed by clusters of flowers: pink hibiscus, pale gold dandelions and purple morning glories. Imposed on top of them is an angular, faceted frame with a Destiny’s Embrace zine-branded logo in the top right corner.

Inside the frame, there is a mock-up of a die-cut sticker of Kairi from Kingdom Hearts 3. She is facing the left with her legs slightly tucked under her, as she peaks behind her hair to look at the viewer. Bright blue forget-me-nots that match Kairi's eyes sit behind her at waist-level, a few blossoms of which are in her right hand as she pushes some hair out of her face.

Beside the sticker, we see a handwritten title reading "Large Sticker," and below that, bullet-pointed with flower petals, in a clean, modern san-serif font: "Die-cut sticker, 4 inches (100 mm), Designed by Seraphily." Below that, in bold, it reads, "preorders open March 28."
