hi-key emotional about this graphic showing EVERYONE wearing aeris/aerith’s ribbon on some part of them not just as a trend but literally as a mantra that aerith is with them. they’ll never forget how she saved the world by their side and by herself, they’ll never forget how she saved them, they’ll always remember that warm, bright woman who laughed boldly and fiercely and had a good nature and an even tougher swing of her staff. who led with her strength of will / stubbornness and street savvy, they’ll just never forget her, and all she gave them, and how in advent children, she saves them and the world again and it’s like… she’s there but not there.

it hurts a lot looking back because aerith more than anyone deserves to be with the people / world she’s saved and life among them.

but she’s not, because she’s dead.
