call it aftermath, she's turning blue
so yesterday i mentioned how i wrecked my crisis core!cloud figurine. today, i went out to buy some superglue and see if i could fix him.
so, this is the patient. if you're wondering what that thing is on the left... it's his skirt.
i'm serious. i tried to make him sit down, and he was so indignant that he broke his own spine and threw his skirt off.
that said, i am really amused that playarts made CC!cloud with little plastic buttocks.
see.
what it's supposed to look like. oh cloud, honey-- that skirt does make your butt look big.
and this is... the top part. along with superglue, i also tried to buy some paint, because.
look at that scarf. cloud came in his original packaging, but when i took him out, his scarf was... that... color. it's like he took his scarf and washed it in mud several times before spitting on it, stamping on it, and putting it in a rusty, clanking washing machine. also, you can't see it, but... his left arm has a red rash going down it. you can kinda make it out in that photo, but not really. IRL, it's really obvious; it's like:
which led to this convo with my friend (whose name i have blanked out because i told her i wouldn't put it up ahahaha >.>)
criminalize:
i wanna give him a green scarf and get rid of his rash
failing that, i wanna get a little pink ribbon and tie it around his arm, and if anyone asks i'll say that his future-self time traveled and visited and gave him AID-- uh, geostigma
FRIEND:

who then gave it to Cloud again

OOOOH GAAAAAWD
criminalize:
i'm so
amused
that the first thing you ask
is "who gave AC!cloud AIDs"
as opposed to
"how did AC!cloud give his younger self AIDs"
FRIEND:
well duh. how do you think he gave him aids >>

NO NO NO WAIT

OH FUCK I HATE YOU SOMETIMES
WAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH
criminalize:
PERVERT.
apparently, what she meant was that older!cloud would get injured and that blood would get passed to younger!cloud somehow. like if sephiroth shishkabobbed them both, masamune passing through AC!cloud first. or something.
(i still say he's a pervert.)
edit: well, the paint i have for cloud's skin won't work. it's enamel. the color is perfect, but it's too shiny. i saw some acrylic paints too, but didn't buy any because they weren't the right color. next time maybe i'll try get them anyway, and just mix them until they're correct.
i did, however, repaint cloud's scarf. it's a similar color to what it was before, except with a shitton less gray.
it doesn't look like much, but it's much brighter than that hideous color that it was before. and it actually looks pretty good once i uh... re-capitate? cloud. ahahaha.
(also yes, i snapped his pauldrons off so that i could paint his scarf. i pretty much lost all qualms about ripping cloud apart after his spine broke in two. it was a... clean laceration AHAHAHAHA no one will get why this is funny 'cept for me. D: )
