I recently learned that Angeal has another hobby: photography. This makes a lot of sense for him--quiet, calm, artistic.
He's a big fan of aesthetically pleasing things (Sephiroth, Genesis, plants).
It's a hobby that is more expensive (on paper) than gardening and cooking, so maybe it's his one little indulgence after being poor.
I bet he had a treasured little disposable camera for years. Gen noticed, then handed down a digital camera that his mom was going to throw away because Gen "accidentally" dropped it, leaving a dent in the casing (and suspiciously just the casing).
You know this man has several SD cards filled to the brim with plant and food pics that he lovingly shows to any unsuspecting (or suspecting) victim, any chance he gets. Total proud dad vibes.
"And this is Henrietta's leaf unfurling on Friday... And Saturday--see, you can see the edge right there... And Sunday..."
"Oh, hello cadet, you don't appear to be doing anything other than looking at your PHS. Here, let's look at my shinstragram queue. Maybe you can help me decide..." *shows off 900 different pics of the same exact plate of spaghetti* *cadet has learned lesson*
Pictured below taking his first selfie:
