Been listening to Bohnes "Vicious" (www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHnf...) on repeat and now want a fic where Reno is Rude's super toxic boyfriend who absolutely WRECKS his organized life (and Rude loves him for it)

... what do you think the FF7 crew's D&D characters would be?

Sudden weird mental image of RdRn as competing gigolos (less prostitue more kept boy), like both of them going to the same parties and trying to seduce the same rich old people and constantly getting in the other's way ... gradually starting to admire each other ...

Officially in my Draco Malfoy era.

RdRn are the perfect couple for the "dramatic parter reveal", to whit: Rude attends a gala thrown by ShinRa in full tux but shows up with some redhead in a leather jacket and eyeliner who immediately starts chugging champagne. He tells people he and Rude met at a strip club.

I think it might be fin to write an outsider POV fic of someone who's dating Reno, and their gradual understanding of how completely enmeshed and codependent he and Rude are 9even if they aren't sleeping together.

... suddenly had a random Zack/Reno fic idea and am obsessed with it but am worried about making the ages work. Why did Square have to make everyone child soldiers for fucks sake.

What are everyone's though re: reincarnation in the FF7 universe? Is the lifestream just energy, like the 'electricity' that runs a body, and the personality dies with them? Is it the soul, but the soul fractures on death, and the fragments are redistributed?

"Well, hell, it always is the ones you least expect," the man cackled. "Yeah, I'm Reno. Gotta tell you, pal, ain't get a lot of folks interested in what you're interested in." (A PWP about body modification.) archiveofourown.org/works/73407336

... picture, if you will, Alpha Aerith, Beta Tifa and Omega Cloud as a triad.

There are two writers inside me: One wants to write the bloodiest, darkest, most violent darkfic in existence. The other wants to write a fic about my OTP adopting a puppy.

Reno figures out the password to Shinra Inc's social media. What is he posting?

Happy WIP Wednesday, have a non-plot-related snippet from the half-written sequel to my camboy-Reno fic Red.

The feminine urge to write a fic where your problematic fave gets tortured and their boo has to watch over CCTV.

How weird of me would it be to write a witch's curse style fairy tale fic where Rude befriends a random stray cat and long story short is turns out every full moon the cat turns into Reno?

And again, from Reno's side: archiveofourown.org/works/72611651

Thought: Reno starts randomly dropping, stuff like "Hey, did you know that if you're married you can take medical leave if your partner is in the hospital?" and "Shinra HR policy says spouses have to be allowed to take vacation at the same time." and "Wow the married tax credit just went up!"

This inspired me enough that I wrote a PWP 😜 archiveofourown.org/works/72502816

I'm just saying we don't know for a fact that Rude DIDN'T shave his head because he started going completely grey in his late teens.

Trying to decide if AU!Nurse!Reno works in the best trauma ER in Midgar (because he's so good at his job) or the worst (because he's utterly unmanageable) 🤔

... I may have started writing the thing

Can't stop thinking about EMT Rude and ER charge nurse Reno. Rude awkwardly hovering around the desk after he hands off his patients, trying to work up the guts to make small talk. Noticing the specific candy Reno is always snacking on and starting to keep it in his pockets.

Why is every bag of Halloween candy like, three good candies and one shitty one? Baby Ruth is like your friend's roommate that shows up when the specifically weren't invited.

Why is there no His Dark Materials/ Turks AU? Don't we all want to see Reno with his weasel daemon curled around his shoulders??

Bootlegger AU: Liquor isn't illegal in Midgar, but all the legal liquor comes from Shinra, and it's near impossible to get under the plate. This leads to a thriving bootleg industry, primarily run by AVALANCHE, the shadowy distribution network that provides all the libations needed for Wall Market.

I'm bored. Let's play a game. Bsky character limit is 300. So you give me a sentence prompt, and I'll write you a minific in 3 panels (900 characters) or less. Open until I fall asleep tonight. 🤣

Random Soft Boys: Reno starts being real squirrelly, going straight home from work, turning down drinks, smelling strangely like mint, but perhaps most suspiciously he stops inviting Rude over to his place, so after a week or two, Rude shows up and ponds on his door.

Again, short chapter. I had finished saying what I wanted. archiveofourown.org/works/585829...

Man why is real life so unsexy like when I get home I just get to do the dishes and make dinner?? I can't jill off to ANY of this.

I feel like when Reno is like, SUPER DUPER drunk, his inner horny monologue becomes an outer monologue. Like, "Oh my god Rude I want to suck your dick so bad right now." "Last time you were this drunk you threw up on it. So no thanks." "In an hour?" "If you switch to water." "DEAL."

So I got my hormones checked and I have low testosterone? And now I'm weirdly paranoid that if I get put on HRT that my sexuality will change, since I've often had ignorant ppl tell me asexuality isn't real, you just have a hormone problem. (If i take hormones and become str8 it will be very weird.)

My new headcanon is that Rude brushes Reno's hair for him. Like just sits him between his legs and spends hours on it. He'd do it every day if Reno let him. (Reno doesn't let him. It hard enough for him to sit still that long in the first place.)

Been feeling crummy so made myself pretty. Fake it 'til you make it!

I'm not accepting the framing that this was an assassination. It was a murder, no doubt, but I refuse to call this an assassination. No one elected him. No one appointed him. He was not important. His murder is a tragedy for his family, not for the nation.

Tifa as Dalton from Roadhouse. I don't care if it makes more sense for her to be Frankie and Dalton to be Cloud. TIFA AS DALTON. (Aerith is Ellie. OBVIOUSLY.)

I'd like to take this moment to remind people of en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melissa... : Melissa Hortman was a wife and mother of two, and the speaker of the Minnesota house of representatives. She was a lawyer and an environmental advocate. She was assassinated on June 14th, 2025. Please remember HER.

I need more fanart of Tifa driving a motorcycle. Not draped artfully over or straddling one. Not clutching Cloud's back, riding pinion. Bent over the neck of one with asphault flying away underneath while Aerith (or Jessie) clings on for dear life. That's what I need.

So let's say Cloud never comes back to Midgar. The whle game just becomes anazing turi. - Tifa his on the first mission as the only person who's actually been inside a reactor. - Gets flower from Aerith. - Jessie rides pinion with her arms right under Tifa’s boobs, bouncing on her the whole way.

Image: Shinra believes very strongly in the the carrot and the stick. Turks who perform are rewarded, Turks who screw up are punished. The worst failures are punished by 'Service Duty' where the offender is required to be the reward for a high performing Turk.

Had a sudden burst of inspiration on the sequel to Red. Still don't have a title for it, tho. Basically, Reno works in a club, right? So obviously, Reno would feed him to the strippers. For the lulz.

Want to play a Rd/Rn game? Give me a number between 1-40 and a second number between 1-20, and I will give you the Rd/Rn fic that corresponds that page and order on AO3.

@manta.bsky.social picture the collapsed man as Bucky. 🤣

Trope subversion: Reno is a masochist but not a sub; Rude is a sub, into humiliation, but also a sadist. This looks like: Reno ordering Rude exactly where to hit him and ridiculing him if he misses or doesn't hit hard enough.

The best and most meaningful conversations take place solely in the form of animated gifs.

Consent is vitally important unless you are my cat.

Random musing of the day: If Reno were a dog, he would be a malinois. Seemingly endless well of energy poured onto a 'will work for food' sign and task hyper fixation. Simultaneously extremely intelligent and a little scatter-brained. Slick, agile, skilled, you will not escape.

Anyone else ever get rejection fatigue? Like you get turned down often enough that even if every single one is for perfectly legitimate reasons, you just don't want to offer anything anymore.

You know what forget who's top or bottom, forget who's Dom or sub, I wanna know who's good cop and who's bad cop.

Trope subversion: someone needs to go undercover in an all-woman group but the group is a basketball team so they pick Rude for it.
