Random Zackcanon:
A prime part of his childhood involved smacking his hand over these š
Itās called a makahiya in Tagalog, but itās shameplant in English. I have done this too.
@prismaticpichu tagging u because you like Zack
@salternateunreality2 said that Zack fair was the Steve Irwin of FF7 and now I canāt stop thinking about it!
We talked a bit about how baby Zack used to bring random jungle animals home and got yelled at when the were agressive and/poisonous. Zacks dad having the patience of a saint as he took baby Zack back outside to go set it free and have a conversation about how tree frogs do not make good pets. Mama fair wishes he would grow out of it but at 13 just before Zack ran away he would still burst in with boa constrictors and the occasional jaguar cub that heād found hit by a Shinra vehicle. He always had dog treats on him for the local strays and Cats seemed to adore him.
When he gets to Shinra it doesnāt get better. Angeal has had to stop too many briefings in the field because Zack has found and interesting (and likely venomous) spider. Genesis refuses to go into the field with him anymore because last time Zack started petting the wererats and feeding them cheese!
He brings home every stray he finds and itās around the time Zack brings home a desert fox that Lazard gives up policing the issue. Apart from anything else, Zack seems to genuinely know what heās doing with the animals he finds. He has a bunch of books and audio tapes on zoology; heās uses all his money to buy the right foods and enclosures; he even has a fail safe of people to go in and check on the critters in his apartment while heās away.
Kunsalās his go to guy but Cloud absolutely gets dragged into it too. Both of them are country boys and used to wild animals and Zack only ever keeps the animals until their rehabilitated. Then he travels with them to put them back in their original habitats. Zack does have animals he keeps though
Thereās a lot of spiders (Cloud dislikes them intensely),
the lame street dog he built a wheel chair for from Kalm. Zack named her Dude only to find out she was a girl so now she gets miss Dude (she seems to adore Cloud and follows him all over the building)
the two albino cats with wobbly cat syndrome called bink and bonk (kunsals personal favourites)
the angry looking Banoran Cave Toad named Genesis (Angealās personal favourite.)
Many many fish all with various stupid names.
That one stick insect named Paul⦠for some reason.
And a giant wutian planes Rabbit named flop. (Zack happened to āaccidentallyā register him as a therapy animal whoās main job is sitting on a certain General Sephiroth when he goes non verbal.)
I absolutely love wing AUs and for once this one is Not angsty: What would happen if Zack suddenly woke up one day with a wing? He is the most chill, easy going, and fun member of the group. Does he just show up And people ask "Zack, what is THAT?!" "A smoothie."
I mean, Zack canonically really wants wings!
First thing's first, you are never getting him to come down. Good luck catching him. He zips around all day without a break, always hyper and definitely pulling cartwheels midair.
Adorable flying dates with Aerith are definitely a must!
Angeal and/or Genesis spouting some cryptic nonsense before flying off? Uhhh no. Zack chases them.
"Look, Cloud! We're flying through your namesake!" Zack crows while Cloud dangles, screaming his head off.
Zack's wing is pure white, obviously.
Wing hugs for sad Seph? Wing hugs for sad Seph.
In which Zack defeats enemies by just crashing into them from above. No sword required.
Yes, he made a feather-crown. Don't judge.
Very grumpy on stormy days because that means no flapping around.
Floofs up when excited. So basically all the time.
Itās the weekend! HC of AGSZ drunk shenanigans please XD šŗš¹šøš·
Everyone gets TRASHED. Hoo boy...

Hope you are doing well! We donāt have canonic birthdates for the first class soldiers, I wonder what you think they are for AGSZ? š What kind of gifts do they like on their birthdays?
Hiiii hope you're doing great! You always have awesome questions!
I don't think I have exact days and specifics. So I'm making it up as I go along!
Not really the same as your other roleswap asks but what Genesis (or Seph) had been Zack's mentor instead of Angeal?
Genesis wouldn't make for a good mentor because he's very impatient and impulsive. Zack's hyperactivity would quickly give way to reckless behavior, often in an attempt to show off for Genesis. I think Genesis would be extremely proud and pleased with himself at training someone, but he also lacks the maturity and wisdom required to pass on anything of substance. At least, not in CC era. I think post-CC Genesis would have made for a solid mentor, if not a slightly gloomy one. Too little, too late unfortunately. Poor Genesis.
Sephiroth sorrrrrrt of takes on a mentor role to Zack throughout CC. If you squint. Had he been given Zack from the very beginning, he would not have liked the responsibility of dealing with the zippy little puppy, and would have very quickly gotten annoyed and grumpy towards his antics. But much like in CC canon, Seph would have earnestly warmed to him in time, especially since Zack treats him like a person and is pretty hard not to love. He'd be a stern mentor, sometimes even a cold one. But there's never any doubt when it comes to the strength of their affection and trust in each other. And Zack is, naturally, one of the very few people who can get Seph to laugh ā¤ļø
The bagpipes of Cait Sith made me think of thisā¦
If our lovely group of problematic firsts (that includes Zack and Cloud!) had to listen to music while working out/training/relaxing/etc, what would their favorite types of music be?
(ā¦we all know Zack just vibes with whatever background music is in his head at the timeā¦)
Angeal is totally a fan of 80's power ballads. Or the FF equivalent. He doesn't care how cheesy they are. HEAVY bro energy during gym time. DO YOU EVEN LIFT BRUH.
Genesis likes to pretend to be Mr. Fancy acquired taste with his music in order to impress his admirers and coworkers. "Oh yes, I listen to on the FINEST nontraditional underground sensations YOU wouldn't have ever heard of them." In reality, he's the biggest basic bitch and sings to pop music in the shower. Either that, or showtunes.
Sephiroth listens mostly to classical. But things change after Angeal and Genesis left. He finds it harder to concentrate and tries to switch to self-help audiobooks and podcasts. Which equally backfires because he's not feeling any better. Then, by pure happenstance, he comes across screamo death metal music and while he pretends to despise it, it helps him feel EXTREMELY validated and cathartic unleashing all his negative emotions and anger when no one else can see.
Zack doesn't know it but he and Genesis probably have the most in common in terms of musical tastes. They are both avid connoisseurs of basic pop. Zack also likes boy bands thanks to Aerith introducing him to it. And you know what? He's not even ashamed. He also enjoys basic hard rock and would also like the FF equivalent of Disney music, if it existed.
Cadet!Cloud is the only true "deep, poetic soul" among these losers. He likes Indie rock. Not so much edgy or pretentious stuff but more of the weighty sadboi stuff. YES, Cloud has cried in the shower multiple times listening to mopey guitars thinking about how he's too weak for Tifa (and Sephiroth!) to ever notice.
