Genesis: Your fucking existence is confusing.

Zack: What do you mean Gen?

Genesis: You annoy the shit out of me, but the thought of anything bad happening to you pisses me off.

Which one of these Cloud-centric OT3s is your favorite? <3

If possible, would you please do me a favor and either pm me or comment below and tell me which of these Cloud-centric OT3s is your favorite and why you like it? If your favorite OT3 with Cloud isn’t listed below (I only listed OT3s from the beloved ASGZC fivesome), could you tell me what yours is and why you ship it? 

As far as I’m aware, the only two of these trio ships I’ve ever seen named are SefiZakkura and GenZakkura, but I almost never see them called that. If you know of an offical name for any of these, plz lemme knooooooow! ;)

SO FOR MOST OF THESE I JUST KINDA USED THE FF7 FANDOM SHIP NAMING CONVENTIONS AND EITHER MADE SOME OF THESE UP MYSELF OR DISCOVERED THEM THROUGH FANFICTION LOLOLOLOLOL

♥ for Zack and Genesis <3

♥ - Family headcanons

Let’s pretend for a moment that Zack and Gen are a pair of dads instead of SOLDIERs. 

Zack is a fun Dad. He carries the kids, races them, tickles them, wrestles them. He absolutely loves making them laugh and smile. He is also acutely aware of all the dangers in any given situation. His Dad radar is powerful and yet to be beaten. 

Genesis is quite affectionate. He loves hugs and cuddling up on movie night. He also loves reading to his darlings before bed. He doesn’t expect them to match his taste for high literature, but being with Zack helped him to loosen up a lot. Good doesn’t always mean fancy and that works just fine. 

Both take equal responsibility for discipline, cooking, cleaning, etc. They prefer to make sure their kids know what they did was wrong and why they are being punished. Zack may make better spaghetti than Genesis can, but Genesis does make his sandwiches with love and that’s hard to beat. 

[up-sideand-down]

Genesis has been feeling a bit out of touch with some of Zack's interests. So he decides to try and get into a beloved sci-fi program that Zack enjoys quite a lot. He finds out that he actually enjoys it and he is able to geek out with Zack about it. Zack is so excited over this.

First of all...

I’m so sorry. This got buried in the inbox again. I didn’t mean to ignore you for so long. 

Second, YES. I love headcanons like these where the bf’s just hang out gush to each other. 

...Imagine Zack and Genesis really getting into The X-Files and totally have to watch every episode together, even the weird ones. Occasionally they can snag another bf into watching one or two, but they are the one’s who have the theme as ringtones. 

[up-sideand-down]

Genesis getting a bit flustered when he is going out on a solo date with Zack for the very first time. He tries to be suave but ends up bumbling it up because of his nerves.

And Zack is confused at first, wondering why Genesis doesn’t seem as confident as usual. He wonders if he isn’t actually interested in dating and is struggling to play nice. 

But Genesis keeps blushing and looking away and Zack suddenly understands. 

“I’ve never seen you shy GenGen,” Zack said. 

“Shut up Zack,” Genesis said, returning slightly to normal.

Fic Post: “Monomyths and Macchiato” (Part 1)

Summary: “Sephiroth is sick of Genesis setting him up on dates that inevitably go sour, and decides to give the man a taste of his own medicine by deliberately setting him up with someone utterly incompatible. Little does he realize how spectacularly it’s going to backfire.”  Pairings: Zenesis aka GenZack (Genesis Rhapsodos x Zack Fair), with a side pairing of One Winged Angeal (Angeal Hewley x Sephiroth) A/N: So, I’ve been toying with this for a while, particularly after discussing (with people such as @up-sideand-down​ and @tekka-wekka and others), the possibility of a Zack Fair who actually reads quite a lot of fiction. And after talking some of it out with Tekka and @modeoheim, I was heavily encouraged to Write the Damn Thing Already. So, I began work on it, and both Tobi and Tekka have been very enthusiastic about it... ,..but then Tobi got to talking with @sawsbuckgo , who mentioned that it’s actually very hard to find decent Genesis x Zack fics, and Tobi shared a few details and a snippet of the WIP of this with them and even they expressed enthusiasm about it, and then on top of that, there’s a few folks coming out of the AGSZC woodwork -- such as @10kiaoi and @asreoninfusion -- mentioning their support for the “Zenesis” ship name recently, with 10kiaoi in particular mentioning that they are making that their official tag for it and oh man, seriously, it’s like the world is telling me “just fucking post some of it already!”  So, that’s what I’m doing. ;) There is more to this of course, and I’ll be continuing work on it, but this is the portion that is a.) completed to enough of my satisfaction to post and b.) correctly sequential.  So this is what ya’ll get so far. Hope you enjoy it! 

After yet another miserable yet mandatory movie date, Sephiroth decided he had to take some sort of revenge on Genesis. Sephiroth was quite content to avoid dating altogether, and had better things to do than waste time “getting to know” people who inevitably had little in common with him. Yet when he had admitted to his roommate a few months ago that yes, he thought he might like to date a man more than he would a woman, the redhead had seemed to take that as an invitation, nay, a challenge, to set him up with every remotely attractive man he knew in an effort to match-make. The problem being, that while he certainly considered Genesis a friend by now, their tastes ran entirely different. This gentleman, though certainly handsome, had been been a total snob about the choice of movie; it had been a period piece, and he had not only nitpicked the set dressing, but done so in a way so as to brag about how he could have done it better and he knew more about historical art and architecture than the filmmakers had. Sephiroth found it incredibly tiresome, and also incredibly transparent. While he could forgive Genesis for his intellectual pride, and could just see these two men having a jolly time criticizing things together, Sephiroth had his limits as to how much condescending braggery he could take from someone he didn’t even know. 

It was getting to be quite irritating, really, to be constantly set up with “gorgeous, brilliant” men who were...usually at least the first thing, granted, but mostly just annoying. Genesis had some redeeming qualities as a friend and roommate -- a quick wit, a sympathetic shoulder, excellent cooking skills and a fastidious sense of cleanliness and orderliness that matched well with Sephiroth’s own -- but his friends were just not the kind of people Sephiroth enjoyed being around. Which was hard to get Genesis to comprehend, without insulting his taste in people.

But as much as he enjoyed his interactions with Mr. Hewley, Sephiroth was sick of wasting money on flowers for people he inevitably never wanted to see again. Something had to be done. Something subtle, that didn’t require outright telling Genesis “the people you keep picking don’t match my personality”. Something that...that taught him a lesson, about trying to fix people up without consulting them on what they wanted in a romantic partner, and without regard to their own preferences. Hm. Maybe, Sephiroth thought, he should get a taste of his own medicine. **** It took a few days to find the perfect person to inflict on his busybody roommate. After all, he had to be careful in his selection. It had to be someone who would be utterly incompatible with the man, yes. But for The Plan to work, it also had to be someone who wouldn’t seem incompatible -- or at least, who would seem like he might plausibly be an enjoyable date -- at first blush. Which meant that they had to have traits or -- especially -- tastes, that Genesis would find unpleasant or obnoxious...but also be charming, handsome, and single. A surprisingly tall order, it seemed, as the last three elements were already rare enough in combination. Add in “must be open to dating a man” and you were already narrowing it down quite a bit. However, that following Monday, the perfect candidate presented himself. Very vocally. “Delivery for a Silver-Haired Stud!” came the cheerful, loud voice of the office Mail Boy, who was grinning at him cheekily from the doorway. Zack Fair. Zack Fair, he realized, was fucking perfect for The Plan.

Physically attractive? Oh yes. Sephiroth would totally tap that, as would any of the ladies in the office and more men than would admit it; he had the kind of pretty, perfectly symmetrical face that seems impossible until you see it up close and then is impossible to look away from. Glossy black hair that stuck up all over in playful spikes that should have seemed either messy, or childish, or possibly just ridiculous, but somehow weren’t any of those things. A pair of striking eyes that looked purple in some lights, blue in others, but beautiful in all of them.  And probably the single most aesthetically pleasing cheek scar Sephiroth had ever seen in his life -- a tiny, faint, offset x-shape that Zack had given at least three different increasingly wild explanations for.

Handsome? Check.

As for charisma, Zack Fair had it in spades; hell, probably had it in hearts, clubs and diamonds, too. The million-watt grin he was shooting at him right then could light up a room, and as could probably be guessed from his greeting, he had a tendency to flirt with anything that moved...yet somehow, he never came across as actually creepy about it. Charming? Check.

And as for single… Well, Zack never shut up. About anything, really. So Sephiroth was well aware that the young man was constantly crushing on one person or another...but also not currently seeing anyone. And also well aware that Zack was, in his own words, “Panromantic -- emphasis on both parts!” Though Genesis had a strong preference of his own, Sephiroth knew he was not bi-phobic in the least; in fact, Sephiroth had been grateful that Genesis had been every bit as appalled as he had been, when one of the dates he’d set him up with had been rather judgmental about Sephiroth’s own open-mindedness in terms of partners. So he knew that Zack not being purely homosexual wouldn’t make him unattractive to Genesis at all, and he was an orientation that might lead him to accept a date with Genesis in the first --

“Hell-llooo? Earth to Seph,” the brunet said perkily, waving his hand in front of Sephiroth’s face and very nearly destroying his train of thought.   Seph. He always did that, too: gave cutesy nicknames to people. Genesis hated having his name shortened (owing to the fact it sounded like it was short for “Jennifer”), but Zack would inevitably do it, like he did with anyone else who had a name over two syllables long.

Hmm. And then there were Zack’s tastes, and certain tiny little habits... “Sorry,” Sephiroth said. “I was lost in thought. Did you get to see that movie you wanted to over the weekend?” 

“Yeah!” Zack said, brightening again. “It was awesome!” Genesis hated hearing words used “incorrectly”...like awesome used to describe anything other than the actual awe-inspiring. “What was it called again?”

“Oh, it was that new Mad Max movie!” he gushed. “Fury Road ! You should see it some time, it’s really great! Like, I’m not even kidding, I forgot I was even watching a movie, they really get you into the action! You really feel like you’re actually there -- you know the stunts were all done with real people and real props and vehicles!? Like, practically no CGI at all! It’s so cool !” A fan of car crash filled action movies. Who used words like “awesome” in the slang sense, liked to shorten names, and was a complete fucking chatterbox. 

Plus, Sephiroth had seen him doing actual squats during his breaks. A jock, to boot! And Sephiroth knew darn well that half the reason that Zack was working there, was because he needed a job to pay bills while he was in college...for a two-year General Associate’s degree that he’d been pursuing for at least four years. He had never settled on a major, at one point had said he “might never” be able to do so and might “settle” for an AA, and was only doing it at all because his parents had insisted he go to college and it was an excuse to get out of his “backwater” hometown.

Compare that to Genesis, who had done Advanced Placement and dual-enrollment classes in high school and earned the bulk of his basic college credit requirements before he’d even turned 18, then successfully pursued a Master’s and was currently working on his PhD...yeah, he couldn’t see their lifestyles or ambitions matching up at all.

But the man was, as Genesis would surely put it, “gorgeous”. And charming. And single. And swung that way.

He smiled, and tapped Zack’s arm to get his attention -- he was still in the midst of expressing his glee at that movie -- and asked: “Zack...how do you feel about blind dates?”

THE ZNA MOD

Redditor u/CrotchetyBOFH posted a link on ECR to an Imgur gallery containing info and picture on Zen's new ZNA mod.  Kind of a box mod, kind of a tube mod as u/ulikestu pointed out "it's a Bube mod".  And yes.... that is a DNA30 on the inside.  

Personally I think this mod looks just top notch.  Zen has always had quality ( expensive ) products, and this looks to be no different. 

View the whole gallery here

The ZNA is reported to be selling for well over $300 $275,  The limited edition version will be the +$300 version so get out your vape budget hands.  As for me?  I will be saving my money in hopes of getting one at Vapebash... maybe sooner.  

It's things like this that keep me excited about vaping
