FF7/Crisis Core divergences are so appealing to me, personally, because they accentuate the many avenues that could have veered Sephiroth away from madness. And I’m not just referring to his reactor breakdown or library binge—I’m taking about Gast’s abandonment, Hojo’s torture, killing Rosen, Matcha’s desertion, Genesis’s rivalry, Genesis’s desertion, Angeal’s desertion, his friends’ degradation, killing Genesis clones, Modeoheim, Jenova’s proximity, his loneliness, his physical health, his exploitation, and Nibelheim. And so much more in the interim.
Really, Nibelheim was only the culmination. It was his breaking point—the last straw. Discovering the circumstances behind his birth and guzzling down books for a week straight may have ultimately drove Sephiroth into insanity, but it was everything else that had paved the road to the village being razed. Nibelheim didn’t plant his fears, his pain, or even his anger; it was the gasoline that burned the last of his patience and humanity from the inside out.
Which brings me to my initial point: changing just one of those factors, for better or for worse, may have altered the course of Sephiroth’s story forever. Because it wasn’t just Nibelheim that “turned” Sephiroth evil, but a toxic string of lies and abandonment threaded throughout his life. Learning about Lucrecia earlier or having his bffs by his side could be the key building block that prevents the rest of the foundation from crumbling. It wouldn’t change everything, of course (having Angeal & Genesis wouldn’t change the fact that Sephiroth yearns for a mother), but the different pictures that even a slight ripple in canon are so beyond delicious to me.
Darkstar is panicking because they got their head stuck in a treat jar and Zack is trying to help them take it off without making a scene because he was responsible for the dog's well-being and would more than likely get in trouble with Rufus and Tseng for it.
Zack can’t get the dog’s head out either, so he opts for calling for help. Problem is he can’t call Angeal because that means death, and he can’t tell Cissnei or the other Turks because they’ll report straight to Tseng and the VP and then he’ll be found dead in a shallow grave within the hour. So he calls Cloud. Cloud is loyal and determined, immediately commits to the mission.
Zack: Good, you’re back! Did you find butter? Grease?
Cloud: No, but I got lube. Think that’ll work?
Zack: Oh, definitely—wait. Where’d you get it?
Cloud: I figured I’d ask Commander Rhapsodos. So I knocked on his office. Sephiroth and Angeal were there too, by the way. And I explained I needed lube because I was helping Zack with something! They seemed really alarmed and asked what I needed it for, so I was like “fine, I’ll come clean,” and explained how “Zack got Dee’s head stuck in a treat jar.” And they asked if it was the D they were thinking of, and I said “yeah, that Dee! The poor thing got too excited over treats and now Zack’s freaking out, so we need lube to get it off.” I even told them how we considered butter and grease, but Dee deserves better than that. And how the process requires something professional.
Zack:
Cloud: Then Angeal fainted, Sephiroth started fanning him with a report folder, and Genesis shook my hand before giving me the lube. He also gave me condoms, for some reason...? Don’t know why.
Zack: YOU DON’T KNOW WHY?
Random idea I had earlier today: a bull being transported up to Hojo's lab (Gotta be for something totally ethical, right?) breaks out of its container and is now loose on the 49th floor. All personnel are instructed that the beast must be recaptured unharmed. How much chaos ensues?
*The bull is angrily speeding toward a flock of SOLDIERs. Zack stands still*
Angeal: ZACK, MOVE! RUN!
Zack: No no no, wait! Back in Gongaga, bulls are sacred! They’re related to Kujata, and have an ancient spiritual connection to people of pure intent. The bull senses things, Angeal, it reads your spirit.
*He drops to both knees, spreads his arms wide, and faces the charging bull with peace and understanding*
Zack: Look, at that. It’s reading me, it’s looking right into my soul and it can see that I’m pure of heart! It sees the sincerity, it sees that I come from the same place it does spiritually.
*The bull does not stop. The bull takes Zack’s stance as an act of disrespect and accelerates angrily*
Zack, hand outstretched: Shhh, it’s okay—
Sephiroth, on top of the vending machine: Don’t stop him, it’ll be religiously insensitive.
Angeal: GOD I HATE THIS JOB SO MUCH
i like to imagine sepiroth sleeps like a corpse you think so and if so you think agz has thought he was dead when he wasnt
Leave that man alone 😭 He has exactly two sleep settings: content housecat mid-sunbeam or open-casket funeral rehearsal. Angeal and Genesis learn this the hard way, very early on in their friendship.
Genesis: ANGEAL. ANGEAL, GET IN HERE HE'S DEAD.
Angeal, sprinting in full panic-mode: WHO?!
*Sephiroth is on the bed arms crossed stiffly over his chest, legs perfectly together. He looks embalmed*
Angeal: You don't know that! He might just be asleep!
Genesis: Okay, okay, what do we do? What if he's actually dead? How do you wake him up if he's like this?"
Angeal: You say a keyword. Something that triggers his immediate consciousness. That's what I do with you and Loveless.
Genesis: That is the most condescending thing I've ever heard. I am not a sleeper agent, my mind is a steel trap. Ha. That reminds me of something my mother—
*Sephiroth bolts upright at once*
*Angeal and Genesis scream*

someone cooks sepiroth a homecooked meal sepiroth immediately swears loyalty and stays with for a few weeks azg go looking for him
*AGZ throw open the door to Claudia Strife's house. There's Sephiroth, calmly seated at the dinner table, napkin tucked in, holding a fork and a glass of Claudia's homemade iced tea like he was born there*
Angeal: Sephiroth. We haven't seen you in three weeks.
Genesis: The tracking led us all here to Nibelheim.
Zack: Man, why are you at Cloud's mom's house??
Sephiroth: Three weeks ago, Cadet Strife handed me a box of homemade food. His mother had sent it to him, and he, perhaps hoping to curry favor, offered it to me. I tasted it. It was— *closes eyes* —soul-altering. This is what people mean by "home." Mrs. Strife has accepted me as her own. I will not be returning to Shinra.
Angeal: You can't just adopt someone's mother because you liked the casserole, Sephiroth, that's nuts!
Genesis: You're a SOLDIER. You have responsibilities!
Sephiroth: I have found peace. She crocheted me slippers.
Zack: And what the heck are you gonna do when Cloud comes and wants his mom and his room back?
Sephiroth: Marriage is always an option.
Zack: YOU CAN'T MARRY CLOUD.
Sephiroth: But I can marry his mother.
Zack: …..
Me: See, when Cloud asks Aerith if she and Zack were serious and she responds "Not really", she's not actually lying. While obviously she loved him and he loved her, Zack wasn't really a loadbearing part of her life, and with the hindsight of being an adult she can look back and acknowledge how little their lives intersected. However, Aerith was and is a much more important person to Zack, because she was basically his only friend outside of Shinra, and representative of the life he should have been leading instead of being a child soldier. Their interactions throughout crisis core are baked with a sense of normalcy, something Zack is in desperate lack of, so he views his relationship with her as the only thing "safe" from being in the military. That's why, when his life of being a SOLDIER crumbles around him, the only thing he can really think of is reuniting with Aerith. Aerith is the only haven he had away from it all, and stands for the domesticity he has been so violently robbed of. Aerith is the personification of his dreams, in much the same way Cloud is the personification of his honor, and his mindless chasing and protecting of the two represents Zack trying to cling to the last shards of his identity he has left.
My coworker Jeff: I see. And those reports I asked for?
Me: Irrelevant.
it’s especially tragic to me how the “never meet your hero” cliché doesn’t even apply to Cloud & Sephiroth.
Cloud did meet his hero, even if behind a helmet. He witnessed him saving his team in the river and spending two hours searching for the one man he lost. He witnessed him being kind to Zack. He witnessed Sephiroth praising his own bravery when protecting Tifa from a monster.
Before Sephiroth drove himself insane, Cloud really did get glimpses of those honorable traits. He had every reason to want to emulate and admire his childhood hero.
Just as he had every reason to never forgive him.
Favorite little bit of character facial animation in Crisis Core. Unironically the last time we see the real Cloud for a long while.
Stay strong, sunshine boy~ 🌻❤️🩹

AGS need a hotel but the only one available nearby is a love hotel. How awkward is it?
*Angeal and Genesis are lying side by side on a heart-shaped bed. The lighting is aggressively pink*
Angeal: This is the single worst position any man can find himself in with his best friend.
Genesis: Really? But we shared a bed all the time as children having sleepovers. This is no different.
Angeal: Your childhood bed didn’t have a mirror bolted to the ceiling above it. Or condoms under the pillows. Or a can of whipped cream on the nightstand. Or a complimentary menu laminated to the wall with items I refuse to read aloud. Or Sephiroth on a sex swing three feet away from us.
*Sephiroth is indeed on the swing, simply sitting there, swinging at a gentle, meditative pace*
Sephiroth: But this is the most relaxed I’ve been on a mission in years.
Genesis: This is the most relaxed he’s been on a mission in years.
Angeal: ...
My man was told to hydrate and is now severely overwhelmed
~
Sephiroth: …should something this color ever be put in one’s body?
Sephiroth: *remembers mako exists*
Sephiroth: yeah alright
Y’know, Crisis Core’s writing is not the best and it feels like things are missing from the plot but I think the reason it still is so loved is because of the characters and the writing makes it really feel like you’re a normal guy being thrown into a bunch of fucked up weirdos drama that all happen to be dying and degrading from turbo death so everything is just even more irrational than it would and you were just a Normal Guy and now there’s a manhunt for you and now your identity has been stolen
I love it so much
when the trauma takes up too much memory
Cloud throwing up after riding in the helicopter in Crisis Core implies either:
1) He is just stone faced powering through the worst hot girl tummy problems every time they use the airship in VII
2) Or that when he was rewriting his entire personality he unconsciously just chose to forget how to be airsick

It has come to my attention that a big bottle of wine was spotted in the Nibelheim library where Sephiroth was slowly losing it lol
Idk why but I had a good angsty laugh at the idea of Sephiroth spending seven days boozing it up and getting absolutely trashed while coming to galaxy brained conclusions.
What's everyone's contact names on each other's phones?
Sephiroth's phone: "Genesis Rhapsodos", "Angeal Hewley", "Zack Fair", "Cloud Strife"
Angeal's phone: "Gen", "Seph", "Zack", "Cloud"
Genesis' phone: "Friend", "Big tits", "Puppy", "Ridiculous Hair"
Zack's phone: " 🐍Genesisss🐍", "⚔️ANGEAL IS THE BEST🔥", "Sephiroth 🗡️😝 💚🍝🫡🐱",
"☁️❤️ CLOUD STRIFE BFF ❤️☁️"
Cloud's phone: "Genesis bitch ass", "Sephiroth 💀" "Hewley", "Zack <3"
