Maybe a return to form would fix me. Maybe I need to write some utterly fucked sefikura. It's been so long.

腐向けセフィクラ 若セフィ君とACクラ君 またこっちにうpし忘れた

I really love the idea of Sephiroth’s contact with Jenova in Nibelheim leading him to remember *everything* with a completely unaware Cloud like five feet away. I feel like Sephiroth would implant him with Jenova’s cells himself and speedrun his plans with a completely subservient Cloud at his side.

[explaining the job search] so imagine a gacha

can someone rename gas to $2/ gallon

it seriously looks like he's guiding Cloud's hand to his dick

I'm gonna say something potentially unpopular. If we get any really emotionally charged scenes or reactions from Sephiroth, Travis Willingham is probably going to crush whatever we might've gotten from Tyler. I'm thinking back on his past work, and yeah. We might've actually lucked out.

Peter Cullen was the sole voice that was responsible for generating hype for anime coming to the west. RIP Legend

PETER CULLEN?! WHAT?!

91.8% of players, having waited nearly 20 years for MGS4 to be playable on anything other than PS3, booted the game and immediately made a beeline for a statue's dick

Peter Cullen really knew how to sell the fuck out of Toonami promos. A non-insignificant amount of anime's popularity in the States rests on his voiceover skills. RIP to the master

i have a few mutuals where we've never spoken directly, we've only liked each other's posts and that's it. and i hope they know i still appreciate and cherish our mutualship and im sorry to never have interacted more than a like on ur post but i think ur cool im just scared

I feel like Nojima saw people giggling about the fact that you go snowboarding immediately after Aerith's death and was like, "Huh. What if we made a whole game about that?"

and the common theory that the way it was handled was to mirror Cloud's confusion and lack of closure, but the more I think about it, the more it feels like this has been being set up from the literal second Remake began. Which makes sense! Apparently Nojima's had this on a napkin since 2008! 🤷

—which, to be fair, he couldn't in OG either. #theorycrafting...? You know, this got me thinking, but there's something to be said for how often the ReTrilogy baits its audience with hope only to pull the rug out from under us. Dyne, for example. The way that sequence is set up, it almost looks+

hawk@assentodele.bsky.social · yesterday

This doesn't have huge implications as of yet, but the preconception going into part 3 is that Cloud *can* break free of Sephiroth's control with a powerful enough catalyst (see: his loved ones being in danger) and...I don't think he can. :D

Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people

So I rewatched chapter 13 of Rebirth, right? And maybe I'm just dumb or I was too !!! to notice at the time, but Sephiroth absolutely let Cloud go at the end of that sequence when Aerith is about to fall. Cloud didn't "snap out of it" on his own. His pupils start contracting the moment he hands+

I hope this horrible week teaches us one thing: you will be remembered and loved infinitely more for moments of kindness, friendship, and joy than for power, dominance, or bullying. you have the choice for what sort of life you want to live. make the right one.

we have thousands of potential dolly partons and tim curries already walking amongst us. most of them are begging for rent money or getting crushed at a shitty job

... Anyone know if there's any veracity to the rumor about Revelation being rated M? I have no idea why they'd pivot after limiting Remake and Rebirth by going with a T rating, but it's apparently on the Xbox listing page.

There's a press demo at Gamescom.

18/21. Unfortunately, these last few pages are the ones that need the most work.

hawk@assentodele.bsky.social · 3d ago

16/21 pages. It's slow-going, but hell, it's going. 🥲

gen ai could never replicate the exquisite agony of redrawing an anime girl's face for 5 hours straight and still not getting it right. that's the sauce baby

Feels like the Grim Reaper opened a 1946 card pack and is just shuffling through them until he finds the one he really wants.

The best way to honor the two who have left us recently, imo, is to keep being as gay as possible

Jokes aside, seeing him talk about his spirituality so openly is super interesting to me as a person who's been playing his games for 20+ years now. Him leaving us that breadcrumb trail in the Rebirth Ultimania resulted in me doing a lot of extracurricular reading I wouldn't have done on my+
