Comment on The Wooing of the Moon

  1. 😚

    I said s couple days ago in chat that It's All Zack Fair's Fault was a tag, and that was on this fic. Now I'm here for a re-read, with comment!

    Aww, of course Geal would introduce the new puppy, that was one of the glaring holes/spots of ??? in Crisis Core.

    Ages In FF7 Totally Make Sense wdym

    Zack has always kind of looked like Angeal (or rather Angeal has always looked like Zack), but Remake made that even moreso.

    Aww, victory dance.

    Also: Zack being smart about people!

    Gen is living it up in The Nile.

    Due to AO3 Donation Drive Wank the words "expense spreadsheets" made me metaphorically duck at first.

    Ok but how do their lips work.

    Aww Gen No.

    I've been awake for too long; I read "crisis once" as "crisis core". Why would Geal deal with Gen's crisis core.

    PoV Genesis is so fucking verbose, fucking superb.

    Consent consent consent.

    Ok, onto the next chapter. Probably a bit later. Might be a while, my AO3 browsing these few days has been rather atypical.

      Hiiii! I am SO FAR BEHIND ON MY INBOX ;LFKJAS;L. Ty! <3<3

      Yeah, it's always been at least a sharp divide between fandom and canon that Angeal doesn't seem to have shared his personal life with Zack at all before that one cutscene conversation between Fort Tamblin and his desertion. Nobody's all that close in the game, and we as a fandom are like 'hm. lame.'

      THEY DO NOT.

      ...is angeal in the remake or did Zack's redesign just iron out the differences between his and Angeal's models a bit?

      Zack is allowed to be cute and observant right? Genesis' ability to acknowledge anything that makes him uncomfortable is. Low.

      i...don't understand this lips question

      Genesis no is a big mood and on that note one could argue Angeal's involvement in the plot of CC consists mostly of him dealing with Genesis' Crisis Core.

      a;ldfkjas;kldf thank you he's so easy to write for that reason, he just piles the words on.

      CONSENT IS VERY IMPORTANT AND GENESIS IS GUARANTEED TO BE DUMB ABOUT IT because his record of respecting other people's boundaries or even of disrespecting them gently or with good intentions is uh. Zero.

      Thanks again!

        Remake Zack takes after Angeal's model a lot more than prior Zack models

        The Lip thing was about this passage that I totally still remembered and did not have to look up and read anew for this at all

        The nice thing about sparring was that it gave Genesis every reason to stare. The hellish thing about sparring was that it gave Genesis every reason to stare. Genesis usually liked the Junon Cannon simulation because it was gorgeous and dramatic, but now it was only exacerbating his problem. The sunlight catching on that ridiculous mane and turning it into ribbons of pale fire wasn’t real, but even in natural light he was fairly sure Sephiroth’s lips would still look that soft.

        That sheen, as if he had always just licked them, even though Genesis had never actually seen him do so. (Lip gloss, do you think? he’d joked to Angeal when they were teenagers; Angeal had replied without looking up from his training manual that he was in no position to make fun of other people’s improbable good looks, because Angeal gave simultaneously the best and the worst compliments in the world.)

        Also I possibly got CC to work on my tablet last week-ish (haven't actually started a save yet so it's only been checking through pre-game functions, if that makes sense?) and now I just have to see if it also works while offline, and then I just might land myself in replay hell (again), though this time it's kept refreshing by a) how long it's been since my last playthrough and b) the language is quite possibly set to CN text/JP audio without any options to change that. (But lately I've been doing CN/JP in games where that was an option anyhow...)

          Ah, interesting! Lol do they need to look more alike.

          Oh my god ;saldkfjaskd;l i'd. I forgot about that. I wrote all the Genesis lusting bits by taking shots of Sephiroth from the Sister Ray sim training fight and looking for traits for someone to fixate on that I could describe and I remembered I'd done the eyelashes because Genesis' obsessive comparison between them was so funny but I forgot I built up to the Rude Kissing by having him get all fixated on the mouth. I even made a makeup joke! And forgot about it.
