As the bell rang, signaling the end of classes for the day, Sephiroth and Julia walked off together, laughing and talking...primarily joking about the pathetic General.
I like how she seems to precede every ~relationship growth and character development filled~ conversation like this. It's like she has to jump up in our faces, waving a flag and saying SEE SEE THEIR RELATIONSHIP WORKS. THEY TALK ABOUT THINGS AND SEE IT WORK?!?! SEE?!
Yeah, God forbid you stay more than five minutes away from your lifesource.
This makes her sound like a parasite, and that is such a wonderful way to view it--my terror and hate for parasites aside. (Gross D:) She sucks all healthy and life out of the universe!

She just. Stop trying. It is not working. Oh my god. You're pairing has as much chemistry and an empty vial. -facedesk

I find her pairing is sterile. That's in my opinion the best adjective to describe it. No passion or desire, no goofing around, no getting to know each other, no silly moments, no deep conversation. Just mutual, smug praise and schoolkid-level gestures of affection. For a supposed couple, they certainly don't act like one. Their union is neither mental nor physical. And the author is terrible at writing romance in general. Just as you said, she doesn't let the facts speak for themselves, but feels the need to remind us that her characters are indeed in a relationship.
IMO Sephiroth must thank Shinra for a part of his reputation. The company worked hard to portray him as a hero and create a legendary aura around him. He is certainly formidable in his own right, but he appears to be inaccessible as a person. Which more than explains Zack's popularity among the rest of the army.
Julia-Bitch-Sue fails to realize that any self-respecting military branch has soldiers set out each night for "Watch". Even recruits go through this process on a "rifle watch" rotating out ever two hours to recruits designated to rifle watch that night in the barracks. The recruits are to make sure to write down EVERYTHING that happens (and I do mean EVERYTHING) in a binder and at what time something happened. They are to make sure to wake up their Instructor in the barracks that night in case someone comes knocking on their barracks. They are to make sure recruits stay in bed and if they need to use the bathroom the other recruit is escorted to the bathroom by someone on rifle watch and back to their bunk. The recruits on rifle watch even make sure their clothes are sorted out onto everyone's proper footlocker (yes, recruits even wash their own clothes and sort them back out

"I don't know how he got that position in the first place. He has no leadership qualities whatsoever." Well, considering that you think you and Julia are shoo-in's to take the position from him, it apparently only requires physical combat skills and the most basic knowledge of squad tactics. And given that everyone who's name doesn't begin with a J or an S is a drooling idiot, that doesn't seem very difficult. Sephirothslave doesn't seem to realize that making everyone else pathetic doesn't make her characters look better. If anything, it makes them look weaker, since they can only beat these losers. My brother really summed it up perfectly: Shinra is the land of the blind, and Sephiroth and Julia are the one-eyed kings. (Part of me actually loves how momentously stupid she makes Cloud, because it means her beloved, oh-so-impressive Sephiroth is ultimately going to be defeated by this completely retarded kid.)
Julia almost wished she could kill Zack Bob. God knew he more then than deserved it.This is kind of like her hatred for Cloud

Believe me, I'm wringing my hands in anticipation for this fic to end, because I plan to do an analytical comparison between these characters and what they can/cannot accomplish during the course of the fic versus what the canon characters (especially those she bashes) were able or unable to accomplish in the game.
Suffice to say it's just going to be lots of pointing out how many times Slave shot herself in the foot.
I think whenever she sneers at Heidegger's physical prowess, I'm going to display another amazing leader who lacked physical capabilities. I already mentioned FDR, the guy who won the biggest war in history from a friggin wheel chair, but here's one of my favorites for pinache, moxy, chutspa, and other non-english words that mean "balls the size of grapefruits."
