iām coming home from the beach and i have to wonder what sephiroth would think of it. would he go in the water? would he have temperature preferences? would he enjoy the feeling of sand? would he be totally covered in sunscreen or let himself tan? or if this is like america, how would he deal with the touristy culture (spring breakers and stuff) within small beach towns or destinations.
Ok itās funny you ask this because I JUST started drawing sephilluna in beach wear lol. Anywayā¦
I think Sephiroth would ADORE the beach, given the right circumstances. Meaning heād only go during the off-seasons to avoid the tourists. And even then, thereās always gonna be other people on the beach, so I think heād attempt to ādisguiseā himself by tying up his hair and wearing sunglasses to hide those pretty cat eyes lol.
Sephiroth would absolutely go in the water, but I donāt think heād play in it or anything like that. Heād probably just stand in knee-deep water and⦠take it in? How freeing the ocean seems, the beauty of it, the crashing of waves echoing in his ears. Heād be enamored by those little fish that sometimes nibble on your skin, watching them and any other critters he may stumble upon. Itās all so fascinating to him.
Sephiroth probably wouldnāt mind any temperature, so long as the water isnāt like, freezing-over-ice-cold. He can withstand temperatures a lot better than most people, so it doesnāt really bother him. But I think like anyone else, he prefers that slightly cooled water against the humid air.
Heād also like the sand⦠until he realizes it gets everywhere. As in, somehow stuck in your hair even though it was tied up and nowhere near the water (Iāve had wind blow sand into my hair lol). So in the moment, heād enjoy it. But after? Heās a bit annoyed with it.
As for tanning, given that I am just as pale as he is, Iām gonna go ahead and say with confidence that he CANāT tan. Heās absolutely the type to just immediately burn, which means heās very particular about sunscreen and re-applying it as often as possible. Now Iām thinking about rubbing sunscreen onto his back. God⦠I wish I could do that
Oh. Heād also be absolutely bewildered by those crazy tourist shops all around the beaches. I can practically hear him asking āwhy is there an incredibly large statue of a man dressed like a wizard? Is he this townās mascot?ā
