Journal - "FF7 Thoughts"

Sep 20, 2009 20:22

So I just finished going through the Temple of the Ancients. Also, I think I'm horrifically overleveled, which is pretty rad, because I'm always like: "THIS BOSS WILL SURELY KILL ME OH WAIT HE'S DEAD ALREADY LOL."

( The angels dressed for the wake, but she sent them home. She sent them home with a handful of bullet shells - with a handful of bullet shells. )

I haven't finished reading The Lion in the Meadow yet, but I did just got to this part, and it made me laugh and die all at the same time.

"Yeah," she says again, completely unperturbed, "yeah. He was a lot like you. Not like Cloud even. I bet you two woulda been in love, in fact. You would've met and he would've been all '...' and you would've been all '...' and then the violins and you would have fallen passionately in love and I could've been main bridesmaid and you could've changed your last name to Leonhart-Valentine and it would've been awesome, imagine the sex."

Leon does not look the least bit titillated. "Whatever."
Oh Yuffie. Don't ever change, bb ( ... )

I freaking LOVE The Lion in the Meadow. It's basically Squall/Yuffie in the way I like it done (wherein they are still hung up on their first loves, but they have to move forward or they'll drown in regret) and Guardian1 is a fanfuckingtastic writer ( ... )

Man, I was just going to bitch about how much I can't stand the hate that Yuffie gets in the game. Every time I go on YouTube or even read a video game magazine article about the game, people are complaining about Yuffie and how annoying she is and how she stole the materia and apparently this is unforgivable, and if there's any remakes of the game, she should be left out. And it's like, "THAT'S WHY WE LOVE HER, YOU IDIOTS. She is not Aerith and she is not Tifa, but she's awesome just for that reason. What is wrong with you people?!" Buuuut I'm going way off topic here. 6_6;

Guardian1 is one of my favorite fanfiction authors. She really has a great handle on Yuffie's voice. Anyone can write Yuffie, but she really owns it. And Sunshine In Winter makes me cry every time I read it, which I've never experienced with a fanfic before ( ... )

I can't stand Yuffie-hate even though, I kind of see the basis for it, because Yuffie IS a brat and probably if I had played the game with no forewarning of the materia stealing I would have been PISSED AS FUCK, because I probably wouldn't have been prepared for it. But to me she is just WONDERFUL and I completely identify with her (better than a lot of other characters actually) and I love how she's basically too big for her boots and she steals your materia out of DEEP AND EPIC LOVE for her country! How many sixteen year olds are willing to run away from home in order to steal from enemy nations for no other reason then to help their own country back to it's former glory? NONE EVER ( ... )

I was mad when it happened to me, but whatever, I laugh over it now, especially now that I adore Yuffie. (And I make sure I'm leveled up enough ahead of time for the plot. Y'know, so I don't die or something. And I depend on materia way too much ( ... )

I don't think I was ever caught off guard by it, because I was pretty well spoiled for FF7 as I played KH first and then went crazy looking up back stories and game info. So I never felt any ill will for Yuffie, since I knew it was coming and chalk it up to her charm ( ... )

I want to marry Guardian1's stories and have its children. Er, what?

Hmm. Maybe I imagined the freak out? It's been at least ten years since I've seen the actual scene. I wouldn't be surprised if I did. I'm infamous for making scenes up.

I thought about the position in the queue, as well, so I switched them up and nope, still didn't get it. :\ I hope they get rid of it, too. I always hated that we never got to see the entire group react to important scenes and situations and characters and ... all sorts of stuff, and it's a pain in the ass to replay the game just to see everybody's reactions.

Haha, I <3 KH, but I really don't know where anything is half the time. I have to constantly remember. I know how to beat the worlds and how to get munny, but that's about it. I'm still trying to figure out how to find all the baby dalmations, because missing puppies makes Leon me sad. (UGH, HALLOW BASTON, HOW I LOATHE THEE. I had a hard time getting anywhere, even with the strategy guide. I almost gave up, but Sora's mission to find Kairi and ( ... )

NOT IF I MARRY THEM FIRST ( ... )
