heh, i totally like the idea that Vincent is Seph's father -- and also when Cloud is unintentionally disturbing :D

Seph is definitely reading Goethe or something, I just know it. Or maybe Macbeth.

OH OH i can give you many songs :| actually i keep wanting to make a playlist, i should do that and upload it :D

Basically my favorite songs for Seph are Red Right Hand by Nick Cave, Kingdom by VNV Nation (not quite as musically interesting), Mordred's Lullaby by Heather Dale, and Rumbrave by Murder By Death (that is my favorite band, and gah, all their songs are just amazing)

For Cloud i have Good Morning, Magpie by Murder by Death, Fragile by Megan McCauley (it's so eerily perfect!), and I think there are a few more MBD songs -- i will make a list :D

my forever Cloud/Seph song is Hatefuck by The Bravery, and Sleeping With Ghosts from Placebo - which just occurred to me that this series all these stories fit into could be called "Sleeping with Ghosts", aha! :D

RIGHT that's the thing about Seph -- he's DRAMATIC!11 but also very, very sure of himself. in some ways he reminds me of Magneto from the Ultimate X-Men comic-verse, who has that same blend of crazy and composed (and "composure" that is exactly it, yes)

AND I MUST HEAR THESE SONGS also tell me all your Genesis songs :||

i just made my first fanvid (which, my new anime!fandom lingo tells me is an "AMV") in ages for Advent Children and it's to Mozart's Dies Irae, which is also a great Sephiroth song :D (Verdi's is probably better, though) and Faure's Libera Me is probably my favorite for Cloud, which is because it has a Dies Irae in there, too, and apparently i will forever link Requiem masses with this fandom because DEATH AND ANGST etc etc >>
