In OG FFVII, Scarlet is a board member and the head of Shinra's advanced weapons research division, but Square originally wrote her as being Hojo's new assistant, a scientific prodigy in charge of helping him develop new bioweapons tech. Furthermore, they envisioned her and Cloud as having been ex-lovers engaged in a secret romance during his time as a Shinra grunt. This idea, however, was cut from the final draft.
It's a shame that Square removed this subplot, since it would add so much delicious angst and drama to the narrative. Imagine the sheer guilt that Cloud would carry with him by having feelings for the monster who destroyed Barret's home and killed his wife, helped Hojo to experiment on and torture Ifalna, and nearly murdered his childhood friend Tifa in a gas chamber on live television.

I'm really confused over this whole doxxing situation? The person who did sucks, obviously, goes without saying, but how in the world did her employer justify firing because she has a fairly innocuous hobby?!
You and me both, Anon.
This is merely speculation, so please take what I'm about to say with a bucket of salt, but I think it went beyond doxxing. It's possible the person who doxxed them contacted the employer and spread lies about the person, which then led to them being fired. If the potential allegations were serious enough, they could warrant immediate dismissal. Like I said, this is speculation, so don't take my word as law, and please, don't harass anyone. That goes for everyone in the fandom, not just you, obviously!
I can't even fathom how you can live with yourself knowing you've threatened someone's safety and livelihood. It's disgraceful and unacceptable, and I hope the person who did it steps on lego barefoot.
To be fair, I’m not sure exactly when I should count the anniversary from. I started watching BN in late November last year, but I didn’t make a note of the date, because why would I?
I can tell you which ep I was watching (and exactly which line of dialogue too) when I realized this was going to be a LOVE thing and not just a casual enjoyment thing. But I’m still not absolutely certain of the date.
I can tell you when it was that I woke up at 3am with a fic idea in my head. So that’s what I’m counting as my BN-versary, exactly one year ago. And one year ago two days from now I was sitting in a hotel room googling the pros and cons of different rope materials and the psychology of non-sexual bondage for the fic that became Redline.
In honour of that, I edited my latest, newly-finished fic a little quicker than I might have done, just to have it done for today, and the whole thing is now up.
So, yeah. In a little under a year, I’ve written 105k of Burn Notice fanfic. And I realise that some people write half that much just in November, but for me, that’s a lot. And I’m genuinely excited and really proud of these stories in a small fandom that hardly anybody reads 😍
do you ever start typing, a lengthy piece, about fandom idiocy, and thousands of words later, you just click close and discard because at the end of the day, it is a fucking waste of breath?

I just saw the most unhinged fight from some folks willing to literally die on a hill of who is better, Zuko or Aang. And like it was almost funny how into it they were getting but also the entire thing was centered around moral high ground and who was more unethical to who in the series. It all ended with "I'm not going to continue to justify myself to you because clearly [character] fans are just so stupid and won't listen to reason." And the original poster had gone through and removed all the comments from the other side to amplify the echo chamber.
Like...babes. I'm holding your faces in my hands: don't fall down that rabbit hole. You're dangerously close to that purity culture shit that's ruining fandoms left and right. It's 2023, friends. Don't dredge up the 2010 era bullshit. And by all means, curate your online space, you have every right to do that. But you're losing something by not critically examining media AND your own biases.
At the end of the day, enjoy fandom how you want, but I beseech you to be careful with the purity shit because that will consume you and color the way you view everything.
Insanity under the cut, it gets rambly, way too many fandoms, and an AU that started just under a decade ago, whoops 😅
Have you ever seen the Ghostbusters? I have an entire Halfa!Egon AU to explain some of that shit his cartoon version got up to 😂
I threw that AU at Jill too when she showed up since she's basically the Egon of her group. Although I also have a sub au of that where they're twins, both Deities of life and death but her more death and animals and him more life and plants, and that's why they're halfas.
Honestly tho, I give EVERYTHING a cryptid AU Even if it's already a fucked world. For instance, Janine is a Naga (shifter) in one iteration 🤣
I also have a stupid crossover au where it turns out Kevin is Thor and Jill is Jane and at this point they've just been universe hopping for a while against will/intent and such.
Which, thinking of my Loki!Bruce stuff, now I'm just laughing about some massive DP DC GB MVL crossover. Catwoman and Talia are Sigyn and Angrboda from myths tho but I've no idea which is who 😅
It's even worse tho when you add Loki = James and Sigyn = Lily (I think I read every freaking fanfic that had that plot). Which, maybe Talia is Sigyn which makes Damien poor Harry. Also, half Indian James/quarter Indian Harry please and thank you very much.
But also you get into the craziness of which Joker and Harley are Loki/Sigyn too because I adored the version of Joker who was a non abusive crazy in the cartoon and wasn't yet in my loving Bruce era. Which adds even more to the whole 'two halves of a coin' bats and jokes has going on. 😅
And if we go with my age old Pariah Thomas, Gotham Martha, and Clockwork Alfred... yeah, Bruce might be a lil OP, or at the very least scare ol Connie with the number of seals on him to keep his powers locked away.
What's worse is that the Deity AU for Ghostbusters has Jill and Egon as twin children of alternate godhoods/godformes of Loki and Sigyn because OTP forever but also CHAOS (this deity au started when I was in high school and it's the one AU that never stops digging it's claws in, halp 😅)
But also Sam is the daughter of Hades and Persephone, and Danny is like... a mini Hela who Sigyn went to check on and, whoops, her soul got tethered to a too weak body so not only is she her own step great granddaughter but also the vessel is dying and that sucks.
I also had a PJO au where Tucker was a son of Hephaestus, which, I guess WW and Vandal get to fight over him? 😅
Yes I love chaos, and yes I might be a lil crazy, but it's fun. Also, I make a Cryptid AU and a Deity AU for pretty much every fandom I'm in even if I don't voice it.
