This blog is currently on hiatus! Genesis is still kicking but I'm more over at my multimuse @cryogenicmuses so go follow me there!
⫸ more info and important things under the cut
Main Canon Divergencies:
He's far more into the theatrics side of the arts than poetry. Yes, he does quote Loveless, but nowhere near to the same degree as in canon.
Yes, he's still a failed product of Jenova Project G. But he's not degrading from the start. Rather, an injury severe enough to cause enough poisonous altered mako byproducts (detailed in my headcanons on degradation here, here and here) to form is what starts the process. But his delicately balanced genetics does affect him in other ways, with slower healing from superficial injuries and a slightly weakened immune system compared to others in SOLDIER. So for instance, a basic cold that a regular SOLDIER would see of in a couple of days could hit him for a week or more.
IMPORTANT CANON DIVERGENT NOTE: He does NOT get taken by Deepground after the events of Crisis Core, instead he is returned to the Banora Underground where he slumbers for a month until he awakens again. While I will acknowledge the actual canon events, for this blog's main canon, that isn't the case.
If you came here expecting a 100% canon compliant version of Genesis, this ain't it. While I do follow the canon timeline to a degree, he's canon divergent for a reason!
Important Tags and Extra Info:
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not hound me for responses. Checking in every so often is fine to ask what's up, but please don't pester me for responses. It seriously makes me want to engage with you even less. I'll respond when I respond, please respect that.
NSFW content will be tagged with #suggestive stage directions (for implied sexual themes), #risque poetry (for explicit sexual themes) or #violent verses (for violent themes). Explicit types of either will be under readmores.
This blog deals with themes of war, human experimentation and various other themes present in the FFVII universe. Fire will also feature very prominently as it is a key element of Genesis' character. If these are triggering to you then I would advise not to follow.
If you use generative AI in any capacity for your art/writing, DO NOT FOLLOW OR JUST BLOCK ME. If you're too lazy to spend the time to create content with your human mind and imagination, then I don't want to be a part of that. THAT BEING SAID, if I do accidentally reblog something that was AI generated, please tell me and I'll delete it, no questions asked.
I am NOT affiliated with the FFVII RPC and I don't follow popular fanon portrayals. My portrayal has been in on-and-off development for over 10 years at this point.
Do NOT take Genesis lightly. Yes, he can be charming and sweet when he wants to be. But he is an enhanced supersoldier at his core. He is war-trained. He can be downright BRUTAL.
Smut may occur, but it will either be tagged/readmored or a fade-to-black sitch. If a thread is leading towards smut and you aren't sure how you want to approach it, LET ME KNOW!
Will tag common triggers as #trigger tw or #trigger cw.
I tag all replies with the URL of the blog for tracking purposes. URLs with hyphens will be truncated without spaces (e.g. the URL my-really-cool-rp-blog will be tagged as #myreallycoolrpblog)
Reply speed does NOT equal my interest level in a thread. I love all my threads! Sometimes the muse just wants to hyperfocus on one thread, sometimes not. I go with the flow of the muse.
I do make use of the scheduling system for replies. This is because I've found it works well with my executive function! As stated before, this does NOT equal my interest level with a thread, this is what I've found works for me!
I do occasionally check in on mobile but don't do longform stuff due to the lack of post trimming. IC posts are tagged #phoenix in flight (mobile). OOC posts are tagged #Maxie's mobile shitposting.
I do have Discord and that's available to mutuals on request.
I do prefer to write with mutuals. Non-mutuals are always welcome to send in asks/IMs!
I DO practice mains but I DO NOT practice exclusives. I love seeing different peoples' takes on the same canon character!
Want to RP with me? Yeet a meme in my inbox, yell at me in IMs or tag me in a random starter. I do track my blog URL as a tag! That being said I do NOT RP in IMs due to the fact that they are incredibly wonky.
Not in the same universe? AUs, BABEY. AUs ARE MY ISH.
I love OCs! But please have some basic info about your OC available otherwise I won't follow back.
Even if I'm RPing with a canon character that you RP as, don't be afraid to say hello! Everyone's take is unique and every dynamic is different! Let's explore together :D
I welcome duplicates! You chose the same character I did, you've got good taste. Let's have some fun! I won't follow first unless it's explicitly stated in your rules that you're dupe-friendly though. If you gotta hardblock me for your own comfort, no hard feelings, do what you need to for your comfort.
Personal blogs are welcome to follow but please don't clog my notifications.
If you can reblog a meme from the source, do so if you can but I'm not gonna snap at you if you reblog from me directly.
I'm autistic. My executive function ain't all there. I can either reply at the speed of WHOA or take a hot minute. Don't pester me for replies. I won't pester you. That being said if there is a thread you want to ask about you can send me a polite reminder.
Shorter threads may get dropped on occasion so I don't overwhelm myself. But plotted-out threads won't be unless I'm really struggling. If I drop a thread for whatever reason we can always start another one! Likewise if you want to drop a thread, you can.

// one more reminder just in case... Genesis is still around! I'm just over at my multimuse @cryogenicmuses since there's more muses wanting my attention too!
// okay so I forgot that there were some scheduled replies over here that posted WHOOPS--
But since I've got several muses vying for my attention, Genesis is bunking over at my multimuse @cryogenicmuses for the time being! If you want a thread ported over there, LET ME KNOW!

𐔌 ‧ ˚ ⋅ could sense the unease building within him , her straight to the point sharpness causing fleeting recollections to stir within . the anxiety pooled within as she noted his change in expression —- hadn’t meant to delve into the intricacies of their past bond so bluntly . the unshed anger searing within was something she didn’t believe she could ever quell . had become accustomed to such .
❛ do you think you can do it ? ❜ in no way was she doubting his abilities —- his strength unmatched ; a legend in his own right . but morally ? that’s where things got a little tricky .
the hollow ache ever present within as she laced her hands behind her back , tip of steel capped boot kicking slightly at the floor in her nervous habitual custom . ❛ i don’t know how much help i’ll be but i’d like to at least try .. ❜
Genesis couldn't blame her for wanting to know the truth. As someone who had been affected so personally, it all made sense.
"There's no other option. I have to." The bard may have been able to keep up with Sephiroth back then, but now? Who knew? He'd grown in power, but so had the silver madman. Whether they would be at an even pegging now was impossible to tell.
He gave her another look, nodding lightly. "If anything... having someone at my side helps a lot more than you realise. So... thank you for at least hearing me out."
Pacing a little, he tapped a finger against his chin. "The first thing will be figuring out how to get to where he's sequestering himself. Any ideas?"

"Soo shouldn't you be doing important SOLDIER stuff? Why would they send you to keep an eye on me?" It's...different, Aerith will admit. She's used to Reno, Rude, Tseng, but Genesis is new. Not necessarily in a bad way, but it does confuse her a little. "Are they shoving Turk duty onto First classes now? They must be reaaaal understaffed." She giggles, balancing on one of the church pews and walking back and forth.
It's not Genesis' fault. Really, it's not. But it does strike her as a weird decision to make. So she stops, crossing her arms and tilting her head as she peers down at him. "As long as you don't step on my flowers, then we'll be fine."
"Well, orders are orders. Tseng asked me for a favour, so here I am." It's not like Genesis can argue too much. Turk duty and SOLDIER duty don't often overlap, but he can't complain. Aerith is decent enough company.
Heavy boots pace across the church floor, stopping right before the patch of flowers. He crouches down to examine them.
"In all my time in Midgar, I've never seen flowers growing here. A lot of the supposed plant life around the city is artificial. They thought people wouldn't notice, but I do. Probably my rural background." He chuckles softly, turning to face her.
"I must ask though... why are you being watched exactly? You don't exactly look like a threat, unless you kill with that adorable look."
THE HOLOGRAPHIC ENEMY FLICKERS, then dies mid-strike. sephiroth halts, masamune cutting only air as the training floor goes abruptly silent. the simulation lights dim, replaced by the sterile hum of the empty room. it's cavernous, too quiet. sephiroth stands perfectly still, green eyes narrowing as the last pixels dissolve to nothing. only then does he turn, finding genesis leaning, casual and smug, against the console, hand still resting on the switch. a faint sigh escapes him, more weary than enraged. " do you tire of losing so quickly, genesis, that you must sabotage my drills instead? "
"What if I'm simply letting you win?" The smugness doesn't stop even as Genesis stands more upright, his tongue tracing over his lip briefly. "Besides, weren't we going to head to the mall after training today?"
He paces closer to Sephiroth, feeling a little bolder than usual. Closing the distance between them, an arm snakes around the other's waist as he looks up.
"Don't look at me like that. You're giving kicked puppy looks." He's only jesting of course, but he can't help himself.
// Good news, Genesis is free from jail! But I’m actually enjoying the less cluttered vibe on my multimuse @cryogenicmuses so I might be over there more and I’ll probably port threads across. I’m not deleting the solo blog of course, but while I’m feeling multiple muses (of which Genesis is included), I’ll be over there more hehehe

@poeticphoenix asked: “ didn’t we have some fun , though ? ” // @ Reno or Blue :p (because tumblr ate it but discord didn't)
blue is uncertain, staring at genesis, while also not edging away from him either. it's not often that blue spends any amount of time among humans, and the experience is entirely different from life in the digital world.
still, the brief time he'd spent with genesis so far had been interesting, though not something blue would exactly call thrilling. it's piqued his interest enough so that blue wouldn't exactly be opposed to doing this again.
"yeah," he says, adopting a friendly grin. humans certainly are an interesting bunch. "i want to see more of what your world has to offer. there's a lot more to do than i anticipated."
"There is a lot to do around Midgar. But, well... you're not the first of your kind to fall here..."
He's just headed out of Shinrabucks with Blue, sipping his usual order of a caramel latte.
"I was going to go see where he got to, but--"
"BLUE!"
A familiar (to Blue, at least) orange stick figure came barrelling out of a nearby store, tackling Blue to the ground in a big hug. The Second Coming hadn't expected to see his friend here, but here he was!
"Ah, you two already know each other?" Genesis looked down at the two stick figures, taking another sip of his coffee.
