Big Damn Hero

Thank you so much @cloudstrife-daily​ for this wonderful event!

Check out my other 9 frame gifsets! ☆

Recollection of my favorite Cloud Strife moments, basically: REAL Cloud is the BEST Cloud.

He firstly keeps apologizing after he’s back, accepting and admiting his flaws and vulnerabilities from the past, but also the resolve to make things right.

“I’m sorry everyone, I don’t know what to say“ “That’s the Cloud you all knew...The Master of my own illusionary world. (...) It’s time to stop living a lie, and to start being myself ”

The way he supports all the party members, as a group, or individually. For example, comforting Tifa for feeling lonely after everyone else left to go back home

“Don’t worry, it’ll be okay. I’ll make a big enough noise/ruckus for everyone!”

Comforting Yuffie as they share the airsickness (that he didn’t feel during his fake persona), offering options to deal with it, what not to do, and bonding that it was still very hard to deal with.

“Moving around is a good idea. It might help to do some exercises *squats* “

“There’s something you absolutely must not do, and that is ... READ !!“

“Anyway, once you’re sick, there’s nothing you can really do about it. I know it’s tough“

My other favorite Cloud Speech, the one he gives before going to confront Sephiroth understanding that, even if fighting to save the planet is nice, they all have that something or someone irreplacable for them who they are fighting for, and that they should go back to them before, and be sure that they want to come back or stay with their loved ones; either decision will be fine, because it’s a personal choice. 

“Everyone, leave this ship and find your reason for fighting (...) It’s fine if you don’t come back”

“What about you? I want you all to find that special something within yourself.“

And he is just an emotional support for the crew, establising himself as the true leader of the party for things like this, not just because cool fighting abilities.

“Leave all your worries here. Let’s go home proud.”

I’m real sorry about your ass. Favorite “Cloud is a little shit” moment.

I think everyone's mind goes to his banter with Barret specially after Remake with this prompt, but I personally always think about this that it's one of my favorite (jokely) Cloud's moments ever lmao.

I said that I love real Cloud and his softness, but I like about his Soldier persona tha he is not cool as he'd think and say dorky things, but also his way of being conflictive or sassy it's not in a ver agressive on-your-face way but in a sarcastic monotone way lmao. I love Yuffie but that "listen, I don't care about you" is such a little shit moment that I can't help to laugh. They'll get along later

In the Remake I love him because his sassy moments are like that too, skyserpent did a PERFECT job to highlight it, but if I have to add some moment I liked, is his response to Chadley after this one explained his whole life and why he is saved from the evil claws of Hojo:

Even when there are storm clouds, the sun can still shine through.

Half and half.

Flying high.

Sun’s out, Lil’ Elephant’s out.
