So what about a fic where Reno and Rude are sent to find this mysterious figure who's been fucking with Shinra hardcore like stealing weapons and breaking into secure locations but not actually like destroying anything or hurting anyone but they can never catch him,

Let's talk about /fashion/ today! What is the game trying to tell us with the Turks 'uniforms'? Tseng is arguably has the most generic version, or, one could say, the prototype. His suit has no accouterments, no embellishments, no flair.

Ok, now let's talk about Reno. I don't think anyone (here) will disagree with the statement that Reno is likely the MOST changed character from OG to R. Reno in OG is a slovenly, cocky but unserious, amoral, dick. He's not funny, he's SNIDE.

I wanna talk about character a bit--specifically Rude. Because I've been thinking a bit the last couple days about the difference between 'the absence of words' and 'the presence of silence'.

The biggest fight RdRn have ever had was over whether sex is an acceptable special occasion gift. Rn: Open it! 😈 Rd: ... if it's your dick again ... Rn: 😲 I thought you liked my dick! Rd: I do. I like it /every day/. Because I see it /every day/. Rn: Well, you're hard to shop for! Rd: ...

I will not be taking any questions at this time.

Throwback: While I know pretty much everyone on here I interact with is here for Turks shit, on the off chance it might interest anyone: I wrote this fic for Red Dead Redemption 2 over the course of 2 years, 2019-2021. It remains my magnum opus. archiveofourown.org/works/17168072

I posted this as a throwaway joke but now I'm really into the idea: You're a Turk recruit and you've been idly chatting with Reno about some of your friends from before you entered training. He goads you into playing Fuck/Mary/Kill with your 3 closest friends.

Turks hazing/training rituals (in a comedy fic): Must get from lobby of Shinra building to presidents office while completely naked, no staircase, and no keycards. Must guess which 3D-printed ass replica belongs to which board member, blindfolded, by touch alone.

When Rude gets dirty at work he becomes a big giant sulky baby who Reno has to run a bath for and then burrow in hot towles before he stops pouting.

Guess who just heard back from the UK Passport office that their application is approved?? I no longer have to add 'in theory' when I say "I'm a UK citizen"! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

WIP Wednesday: Although is it a WIP if it's a rewrite of something you already published? 😂 Anyway, here's some of the v2 of Memories:

Ao3 is down so anyway here's some prompts, feel free to answer or just think about (in case you haven't noticed I love this kinda stuff)

I need some like pragmatic affirmations to listen to I don't need a soothing voice telling me that I am beautiful and good and worthy I need someone with disinterested vocal fry telling me to stop volunteering to be responsible for other people's emotions.

Anyone wanna talk about rich fuckboy Reno with me? Obviously, he would have had some kind of super verbally abusive but otherwise absent father and an alcoholic disinterested mother, but I feel like he and Rufus went to the same boarding school.

X-Files Geocities? (school library computer lol) 12-13 (7th grade)

Ok im curious and I want to see something! Everyone reply or QRT with the first fandom you read fan fic for, the platform you read it on, and how old you were at the time. I'll go first Fullmetal Alchemist, Fanfic.net, 15

So I've decided to rewrite one of my WIPs because I've been hating trying to write the next chapter and I realized it was because all the little things that I didn't fully think through in the first chapters have snowballed and I realized this is why professional writers don't release in chapters.

The first time Rude first saw Reno's messy apartment he was like, this is fine, I can change him, and then three years later they're living together and Rude is just happily cleaning up all of Reno's stuff himself while Reno is all, goddamn it, stop hiding my shit, I thought I could change you.

You all have probably noticed by now that I love playing prompt games. Soooo ... Give me a title or lyric from the next song that comes up on your playlist, and I'll tell you what the plot of the fic with that name is. (I need something to make me think creatively lol)

Mental image: Reno bitching to Rude about how ridiculous it is that everyone just/ assumes/ they're together on no evidence and that two men are allowed to just be super close without being boyfriends all while Rude is sucking his cock.

Sometimes I feel like a huge part of working on my mental health is actually about trying to train myself to be okay with the society and the universe being shit. At least in the Victorian Era they prescribed you heroin and vibrators for that.

Popping a brain blister I had: Tseng: Due to our increased profile, we will be adopting callsigns going forward-- Reno: FUCK yes, I'm gonna be Red Lightning-- Tseng: --to ensure secure operations. Rude, you will be Granite-- Rude: Understood Reno: Aw shit, is it all stone names? I want Brick then--

New Chapter of the model AU--has some really fun character stuff in it! archiveofourown.org/works/747185...

@sailorvanity.bsky.social's post made me unable to stop thinking about my own FF7 sitcom.

We talk a lot about OTPs and NoTPs, but like--what's that one pairing that you don't love or hate but just don't ... get? Mine is Sephiroth/Cloud--but that might mostly be because I don't get Sephiroth. He's evil in a culty religious way, not in the amoral violent way that I find fun.

Mood.

Fuck it, the world is terrible. I'm going back to color coding everything in my life because it makes me happy.

At the wrist specialist and they gave me a sheaf of paperwork to fill out by hand with my bad wrist and just sad 'sorry' when I pointed out this was difficult.

I couldn't decide which new protein bar to try so I made a spreadsheet which calculated calories per g protein for all my options and I really think this says a lot about who I am as a person.

Which FF7 social media do you prefer: Platebook Shinragram Elixr Revivvit TurkTok [[[your suggestion here]]]

#rdrn #shinrafuckers is it stupid? Yes. Do I regret it? No. archiveofourown.org/works/78876806

Trying to think of a character to be AU Reno's toxic-but-not-evil ex. 🤔 Thoughts? (For plot reasons must be a man) Maybe I should just go with an OC ...

My hair has reached the Rufus Shinra stage.

Reno: Chaotic Neutral Tiefling Rogue Rude: True Neutral Orc Monk Tseng: Lawful Neutral Elf Cleric Elena: Lawful Neutral Gnome Fighter Rufus: Lawful Evil Human Wizard

I am currently accepting applications for new fandoms/pairings with morally grey-to-black characters that are legal adults.

Five classes you took in college: Physical Chemistry (I & II) Analytical Chemistry (I, II & III) Inorganic Chemistry (love this one, CRYSTAL FIELD THEORY) Organic Chemistry (I & II) Taekwondo 😁

My heart: I just want a person that I can call up randomly because work was hard or I saw a cool new fruit at the store or other random crap and they'll be interested and want to hear about it. My brain: That will never happen because those things are boring and tedious and so are you.

The devil and angel on my shoulder but the only difference is how they are telling me to procrastinate. 😈: You could be reading smut right now. 😇: That is a complete waste. You should start another WIP.

Posting Tues night for WIP Wednesday: fun bit from my Model AU

Picture, if you will, Rude and Reno caught in a snowstorm.

TX having its annual week of winter

Face reveal, wrong answers only

Face reveal, wrong answers only.

Was thinking that you can technically describe Zack as 'Big sword mullet guy' and now am trying to think of all the least attractive descriptions the gang. Bald guy with wallet chains Face tatttoos and rat tail Tiny with a Karen haircut Slicked-back vampire hair White Hot Topic jacket

I'm just saying, Chocobo Sam x Big Bird could be the next "It" Couple

I just discovered there's a subreddit called r/archiveofourownmemes and I think I'm finally home.

What do you think are the Turk's holiday traditions? Valentine's: There is a box of mixed chocolates in the break room every year. Everyone knows that one of them contains a paralytic, but if you don't take one you're a pussy.

Noooooo how will I get through my cybersecurity training???

First day of grad school 🧠
