ship with:Ā nobody in particular but Iāve seen a cute Reeve x Vincent fic before and I feel like the sheer nerdiness buried beneath Cidās crusty surface personality could make that work too (though I always feel weird shipping Cid with people other than Shera, tbh) since they are LITERALLY both engineers of a sort?? Ā Common ground is a nice way to build up a relationship, after all. And theyāre closer in age than say, Reeve and Cloud.Ā
general opinions: Unlike a lot of the other AVALANCHE members or the SOLDIER boys,Ā I feel like I havenāt had as much chance to get a feel for Reeveā¦Iām still (gradually) working my way through the OG, and havenāt gotten to the Cait Sith parts yet so even though Iāve thoroughly spoiled myself on it and even though I have gone through Letās Plays of DoC, etc., I feel like I havenāt seen him or his fursona alter ego in action enough to truly register much of aĀ āfeelā for him still? (I donāt know if this even makes sense, but thatās the way I interpret it)That said, I like that he was pretty much the only moral exec in Shinra. I like that he legitimately wanted to help people, and that unlike the others, he hadnāt gone stone cold yet, that he was the only one to react with visceral horror to the Sector Seven plate drop. I may not feel like I KNOW Reeve, but I feel like I know him enough to like him. I canāt help thinking ā knowing as I do that he apparently invented the mako reactor ā that he must lay awake at night sometimes, wishing heād done things differently. I think maybe the WRO is his way of making up for the sins he committed (knowingly or otherwise) at Shinra.Ā Of course, Reeve is also important to the post-OG world in general, so Iām forcing myself to get to know him better (or at least a version of him), as the next chapter of Wake Me Up is actually bringing him and Cait Sith into the mix. Ā ;)Sidebar: I also have an RP muse that could be considered his ādaughter(s)ā, in a weird way. So Iāll probably get to know him better more and more as that goes on too. (Speaking of which, if anyone knows a Reeve RPer that might be open to RPing with that account, Iād be glad to know? I feel like her Most Probable origins make it really likely that either sheād end up in contact with Reeve or heād be curious about her. Especially if we go by the original intended idea for his character, which is implied to possibly still be the truth in DoC, which is that he has a talent for imbuing mechanical life with actualā¦you know, life. Which Iām sure he would have realized he had done with Cait Sith, if he did, soā¦yeah)tldr: I donāt feel asĀ ācloseā to Reeve as Iād like compared to other FFVII characters, but I like his character and am intrigued by it.
