... what it Jessie Raspberry and Roche were in the drama club together in High School? 🤔

Remake Replay: I love Aerith, I think she is a sweet perfect little gremlin, but that first walk through Sector 5 with her is a bit ... /on the nose/.

Still in my Remake playthrough, just had this moment where Aerith asks Cloud if he knows the slums and his response is "Training, barracks, battlefields--those are the world I know." Which is like ... the doucheist, most weirdly pretentious thing one could possibly say unprompted, right?

Still on my real-time FF7R thoughts--Jessie asks Cloud if he knows how to drive, and Cloud's response is "SOLDIERs get mandatory training." ... so where did he learn to drive? (I'm not trying to be nitpicky, I like to come up with in-verse explanations for these things.)

#shinrafuckers #Reno Reno the Mechanic from my Dad's Au (one day it will be written D: until then, it lives in my head and my docs rent free.)

Just restarted FF7 Remake (for ... research 👀) and had a sudden thought. Where did Cloud learn his sword technique? Hojo's experiments gave him SOLDIER strength, not training. Did he absorb something from Zack, somehow?

I think my favorite Turks vibe is: they kill your entire family and laugh about it but you shoot one of them back and literally /how dare you/? Like no self-awareness. No concern that it's hypocritical. For them it's like stepping on an ant hill, only to get mad at them for biting. You're the ant.

me at my fellow perverts

Here's some fun lore thoughts: what does education look like on Gaia? We don't see any real schools other than the orphanage classroom (that I can remember) and kids can join the military at 13 (possibly younger, but that is how old Cloud is.) The slums are filled with children,

Remember this one? Had a thought on my drive home of how I might actually do this:

Oh yeah, and I decided to start a third chapter of the camboy fic, writing has been the least stressful/most fun thing in my life rn.

Hi guys, just wanted to acknowledge that I'm alive, as internet relationships can make it hard to check on ppl, I'm just dealing with some meatspace issues and haven't really felt like interacting. But I'm okay (as okay as any other neurodivergent millennial liberal in this feckin world right now) ❤️

Hey, y'all remember Red, that Reno camboy fic I wrote a while back? I ... maaaaaaybe started a sequel which, like the original, got way out of my hands in terms of plot. But I'm having so much fun in writing it that I want to share it, anyway. archiveofourown.org/works/83373231

Interesting, because does this imply that the rod is /always/ on, or that Reno does not trust himself to keep his finger off the button?? 🤔

Hmm no that's probably pretty accurate.

I've been having a bad time and feeling really unsupported in my life, so I wrote a short, really self-indulgent fic about my two favorite character to make myself feel better (which it did!) I may write a second chapter with the H/C roles reversed. archiveofourown.org/works/82911296

When you desperately want human interaction but you don't have the mental energy to be rejected so you don't even try.

I am so sick of being the designated helper of my parent, despite them having a spouse, another child, AND a medicare advocate. No, I, the girl, have to do it. I am so sick of my own empathy. I wish I could stop caring.

🤔 If Rd and Rn ran into their female multiverse selves, and assuming the lady versions were also amenable, do you think they would: a) fuck their female selves b) fuck the female versions of each other c) both/foursome d) fuck each other while the ladies watch and vice-versa e) some fifth thing

Stripper!Reno now lives rent-free in a penthouse in Sector 8.

Thankfully I have a commission by @annehwong.bsky.social about an outfit swap #manta_commissions #rudereno (there's no wig swap sorry 😆)

You ever have a fic that you're super excited to post but it's just NOT READY YET and you can't even post snippets because all the best bits reveal too much stuff and it's like being a kid before xmas all over again???

Wait hear me out: Rude was a hitman who's bosses double crossed him. After weighing his options, he lets himself be arrested and put in a maximum security prison, to avoid being killed. He basically runs the place--he's the biggest guy there, and he speaks softly and carries a big d- er, stick.

So for my own reference, I'm trying to compile Midgar sector cultures and wanted to crowdsource, so if you know extended universe lore I don't, feel free to add!

I have a writer question! I don't like naming background characters. I feel like character names are reserved for people you need to remember. Someone who takes you across a river one time? 'The ferryman'. His son shows up in Ch 3? Oooh, THAT's why she told us his name and hometown!

Ok wait, Highschool AU, where Rude is the super shy, super quiet, super smart, but super weird kid--so weird, in fact, that he doesn't seem to understand that people are making fun of him when they ask him about his 'boyfriend who lives in Midgar'.

I withdrew from my Masters program and honestly all I feel is relief. Instead of hauling across town to campus, tonight after work I get to go home and write. ❤

Here is the full series of vignettes I wrote for Turk Week. Feel free to suggest which one(s) I should expand on. 😏 #turkweek #shinrafuckers archiveofourown.org/series/5890566

#TurkWeek Day 7 Free Day #RdRn #shinrafuckers 𝔻𝕠𝕟'𝕥 𝕜𝕚𝕤𝕤 𝕞𝕖 𝕚𝕗 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕕𝕠𝕟'𝕥 𝕞𝕖𝕒𝕟 𝕚𝕥.

For #TurkWeek Day 7 - Break Room... 500 words of #RdRn fluff. (No really) archiveofourown.org/works/82006751 #ShinraFuckers

This is a bit more poignant than my previous vignettes, taking place soon after Meteorfall. RnRd gen, Not extended universe compliant. archiveofourown.org/works/82099196

Less of a mad-lib, but it's free day, sooo ... What do you think Rude's favorite subgenre of romance novel is? (Historical? Monster? Master/servant?) Assuming /not/ Midgar, where do you think Reno might be from?

Sometimes I get a little frustrated with the online advices that say 'Don't wait for other people, if you want to do something, do it on your own!" because ... what I want to do is share my experiences with another person. So am I supposed to hire a day laborer or something?

DLed Crisis Core on Steam when it was on sale and just started playing. Like 2 hours in and already have feels about Angeal and Kunsel. I don't really like Cloud and am now curious if this game will change that. 🤔

Not even an hour! Day 6. Training Day / “How do I do this again?” “Did you read the instructions?” “We’ll just wing it.” “I lied on my resume.” Mad Lib: Your favorite BC Turk (Alvis) Something most adults know how to do (wipe their ass) #shinrafuckers #turkweek archiveofourown.org/works/82032126

This has been really fun for me ngl. Hopefully y'all think so to. Day 6: Mad Lib: 1. Your favorite BC Turk 2. Something most adults know how to do

My Anxiety: It sucks how I'm so annoying that everyone I know doesn't like me and only tolerates my existence My Friends: That's not true! We love you! My Anxiety: And great, now I've guilted all of them into having to try to make me feel better! There really is no winning, is there? 😀😂😭

#TurkWeek #shinrafuckers #Rdrn Midnight Cheer "When Restless Souls Roam"

Day 5: Wardrobe Malfunction / “Hey that’s my shirt!” “I’m not changing, you change!” “Where’s my clothes?” “I’m not wearing that!” This is ~500 words of pure, triple-filtered crack. (It was so fun tho) archiveofourown.org/works/81977436

Day 5: Mad lib: a place or event you get dressed up for an in-verse famous person

I had a super evil idea I need to share. Soulmates!AU ... but instead of a name or phrase, the soulmark is a timer. It shows exactly how much time you and your soulmate will spend together. And any time you're together, it starts counting down.

Day 4: Did not get the full line, but I think I nailed the 'restless soul' spirit. It's not my absolute best, but in fairness, I didn't get home until 7:30 PM today (and 9 is my bedtime) archiveofourown.org/works/81926091

I've had a long, rough day, not sure I'll be able to keep up my streak, but let's at least try. Day 4: Mad lib: a vilian (for the story, does not have to be a canon villan) a safe place (optional) a pairing

I was typing out a long, detailed response to some dumb shit about "sex is binary this biological" being used as a pretense that they were being scientific not transphobic (I'm not talking about /gender/ I'm talking about /sex/) and then I just ... deleted it and blocked them.

Day 2: Exfiltration / "Getting in isn't the problem, it's getting out" Also inspired by conversations with @foolinthemoon.bsky.social (they'll know which ones) archiveofourown.org/works/81869461

Day 3 Mad lib: I have a partial idea for this already, so lets go with: A fanfic cliche A dangerous place (optional) a pairing (I might like it better than the one I have in mind.) If I get more than one answer for anything, I get to pick my favorite.

I go where the inspiration takes me. This is where Day 2 took me. #turkweek #shinrafuckers (PS I'm gonna continue posting night before because I am only productive at night, and I'd rather be early than late.) archiveofourown.org/works/81814911

Day 2 Mad lib: Pairing Location Something that comes in pairs (If I get multiple answers I get to pick my favorites) #turkweek #shinrafuckers

Phew - I managed to bang out, in one night, something for #TurkWeek. I was getting serious FOMO seeing everyone's WIPs & fics!! For today's prompt, "Contingency Plan": Plan B - Elena/Reno - the night ends a little messier than intended. Mind the tags & E rating! archiveofourown.org/works/81764586
