white_aster saw AC and she made a comment that struck a chord with me, (mainly because I was thinking the same thing but thought I was being crazy but if she sees it too it must mean it is TRUE!) So, did anyone else think Sephiroth was 'playing' a role when he was all 'I'll use this world to fly through the darkness of space causing destruction,' yada-yada. For a complete and utter nut-case Sephiroth came across as amused throughout the whole encounter and it looked as if he was never serious about the fight. In fact it felt as if he was egging Cloud on so Cloud would get out of his woe-me phase and kick some arse.
It is just really strange; thinking back on the whole film, seen as a whole and not just fight scenes inter-cut with dialogue, it felt as if the whole thing was a set-up, and Aerith/the Planet was bidding for its time to get rid of Jenova's tints. The question is; why wait until Kadaj had Jenova's head in his hands, thus, the chance to 'resurrect' Sephiroth. Does it mean the Planet needed Sephiroth to be resurrected in order to 'cleanse' itself of ALL hints of Jenova? So, was Sephiroth working for the Planet? Playing a role for Cloud to do the work? But why the hell is Cloud so important for the survival of the Planet? (Having survived the Mako-treatments, the Jenova cells and the Life stream, I suppose would make Cloud very important.)
So, um, lots of questions, and lots of implied stuff, and really I don't know why I'm doing this. For all I know AC was not meant to be read into that deep, however, I am a English Major and it only makes sense for me to read into subtext and inconsistencies. Yes, I'm having fun!

anyway there's my bit right there; in the midst of a 14 hour fic immersion so brain is dead now.
14 hour fic immersion? Do expand. (RECS!)
but on the other hand, there wouldn't be all the delicious UST-ing present in FF7 the game, as it is now. I mean. how much more blatant can the love/hate relationship get?
Eh. a hell lot of different fandoms n genres - was reading seifer/squall for a few hours, refreshing my memory of all the good fics there are. then turned to whatever ac n ff7 fic there is now - A Long, Hard Road (portions of it; I love the series but, admittedly, some parts are just waayy too over-angsty.
have you read any of
What kinda fic are you into, usually?
Oh, it is /really/ blatant, and I'm so happy because of it! ^_^
ALHR! Of course, it is like a requirement if you are a ff7-fangirl. I still remember waiting for the fic to be finished, oh, how painful those days were. (I understand, I have ever only read the ending of the fic once. I just can't re-read it.)
Have you ever read
Yes,
Oh boy. I read many a fics. It is hard to pin it down because I seriously read a lots of fics from many fandoms. My choice reading when it comes to anime/manga are definitely yaoi/shounen ai, however, I read fanfiction in fandoms such as 'Angel', Farscape (both of which I read gen or het fanfiction). So, um yeah, if I like a series I'll look for fanfiction on it. As long as it is well written I'll more than likely read it.
I go through FF8 fic-binge once in awhile too. (Crap game, good ending, and some really nice fics.)
I do like fics that mess with the power dynamics of a pairing. For example, have Squall as seme to Seifer being uke. Having said that I just can't picture Cloud as Seme.
Yeap ALHR.. I love when they finally get together, and just.. Cloud is so unbelievable sweet and oblivious to his own worth. (i think i got into it around.. 20-plus parts, so yeah definitely share the pain!)
I've scanned through madamhydra's stuff before, but I really do prefer Seph/Cloud and I heard that 'Conflict of Interest' isn't really S/C, so.. furthermore I found Twig n madamhydra more or less at the same time, so obviously, ALHR all the way!
go read plnunn's "Bloodraven" then! At present, the two main characters are finally starting to find some worth in each other, besides the sexual aspect of it, but very tentatively and totally ignorant of what's actually happening.
eh. seconded. my fic tastes run all over - manga, anime, tv (highlander? buffy - S/X, my OTP, west wing, house, many many more..), books (gaiman, coldfire, hp etc.)
since you're into wk, i'm guessing you've read 1)
(P.S. This entry has my FIRST, and more comprehensive impressions, of the film!

Which means, the only way I'll ever, ever watch that abortion that was FFVII AC again is with whitney's subs. Geh. I really wanted to like it, but omgwoes, that's 1 hr and 45 minutes of my life I will never get back. I couldn't bring myself to watch Last Order even. Ring me sometime and I'll update you on the gross. WE DISAGREE SOMETIMES RIGHT?
*CRIES*
(sweetie, remember the Batman vs Superman debate. So yes, we so disagree on somethings :p I'll phone you once the RL stress wear off. Need to do assignments, prep for presentations and so forth.)
