"✨️Still, I'll know someday you'll come and find me...☁️☄️"
I discovered this parallel and I'm loosing my goddamn mind over it-
Then I realized that if I flip one of the images, TOGETHER THE NEBULAE MAKE A PAIR OF WINGS OR A HEART-
IM ABOUT TO COLLAPSE-
Yooooooooooo
I just realized that FF7 Rebirth and the Loki Series have some intriguing parallels. Like is this forshadowing something about Sephiroth's plan to merge the Lifestream and all of its worlds together? The villan named after the TREE OF LIFE in Jewish mystism, MERGING THE LIFESTREAM, THE SOURCE OF MOSTLY EVERYTHING IN FF7!?
DO YOU NOW SEE MY VISION-
FF7 Rebirth Theories (that I have and like to scream about)
Here are some of my theories of what I think is going on in this game and what it means for the FF7 franchise moving forwards.
-The Lifestream is a river of souls, emotions and memories, yet sometimes these threads branch off and create new alternative universes/timelines, like light shining through a prism. Think of the lifestream and its different worlds as the roots of a tree.
-Like how the lifestream connects all lives and how it represents the cycle of life and death, so does the tree of life in various mythologies.
-Now that I look closely at Rebirth's ending I think Aerith is both alive and dead. She's entangled with the physical world and the spiritual world (Lifestream) and can hop between them at will.
-Which is why Cloud and Sephiroth see her as alive, but to the rest of the party, she's dead. She's in a fluctuation of states due to her ancient abilities and uses this to her advantage. (Schrodinger's Aerith lmfao)
-I dunno but I still think there's two Sephiroth's. The evil one who wants to merge all the worlds, become a god, and rule the planet alongside Jenova, and the one from the original OG timeline who's trying to stop this from happening and the one who shows Cloud the multiverses in the first place
-Cloud is slightly aware of what is going on regarding the different worlds/timelines, but the dude has to regain his true self first
Unpopular opinion time, but I really don't think Jenova possessed Sephiroth during the Nebilhelm Incident.
I like to think that it's him choosing to do the things that he's doing. Since in the OG, his will was confirmed to be stronger than Jenova's. Yes, he was vulnerable and his cells might have drawn him towards her. Yes, he might have gotten traumatizing visions, but all that and more made him realize that his entire life was a lie and how Shinra was manipulating him.
He choose to embrace the darkness, because to him that's the only way he could escape from his fate.
I still think that in Rebirth, Sephiroth chooses to be the bad guy.
Like Sephiroth is FED UP with Shinra and their shit. He is tired of being their tool. Finding out he was made up of Jenova's cells and created to be a perfect monster was the nail in the coffin for him.
That new Sephiroth and Cloud scene in the recent trailer has shipper me going absolutely bananas
They fucking KNOW. Okay? They KNOW.
And they are doubling down on it. It's great.
FF7 Rebirth state of play highlights according to me
-BLACK MATERIA MENTION!? NOT THIS SHIT AGAIN
-SEPHIROTH HUGGING CLOUD AND whispering in his ear??? Sefikura won today folks!
-ZACK AND AERITH!? CISSNEI AS WELL!?
-The mention of "endless dream" has me both excited and scared. I think it's two timelines rather than the whole "it's just a dream" troupe
-Cloud and Sephiroth clashing at the Forgotten Capital!? Makes me wonder more about Aerith and her fate!
-Gameplay looks dope af
What the actual fuck is this lmao
I JUST SAW THAT NEW REBIRTH TRAILER AND IM GOING INSANE OVER IT!
Here are my highlights!
-Cloud looks so cool!
-Aerith. Just Aerith
-Marline saying, "If Aerith wakes up, then that big scary man is going to kill her" is getting my brain cooking. I think that this line means that Marline is aware of what's going to happen to Aerith or that it means something regarding the alternative timeline Zack is in rather than the classic "it's just a dream" troupe
-THAT ONE SHOT OF SEPHIROTH
-Cloud talking about loosing his mind and Tifa comforting him, saying it's her turn to save him. Just two best friends looking out for each other
-That one shot of Aerith praying with the Whispers in the background and the black feathers falling. DONT DO THIS TO ME SQUARE ENIX-
-The new theme song is so good!
-the many crumbs sprinkled in the trailer for shippers to go wild over
-Like we see some OG moments, but at the same time, SOMETHING DIFFRENT IS HAPPENING HERE PLOT WISE, which means that WE THEORISTS WON! LET'S GOOOOOOO
ENOUGH ABOUT BOOBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE FUCKING COMET IS COMING
I FINALLY GOT FF7 REMAKE. TIME TO PLAY IT.
I just saw the FF7 Rebirth demo with Cloud and Sephiroth fighting together, and I cannot believe that the entire sequence is actually real. LIKE WE HAD CLOUD STRAIGHT UP PINING OVER SEPHIROTH.
I have to say that the whole entire flashback with Cloud and Sephiroth fighting was the most queerest thing I've ever seen.
We all know that Cloud has part of Zacks' memories and that it was actually Zack fighting with Sephiroth, but I can easily say that Zack DID NOT look at Sephiroth like that from what I've seen in the games.
Cloud is modifying his false memories to cater to him cause Cloud idolized Sephiroth, and Zack didn't.
Cloud self inserting himself in Zack's place due to his false persona makes sense cause who wouldn't want Sephiroth to look at you like that
the entire false flashback scene is just Cloud's self insert fanfiction.
Highlights from the new FF7 Rebirth trailer that I liked
-Cloud and the gang exploring
-Rufus acting like a Soviet dictator
-Tifa, Aerith, and Yuffie being besties on the golden saucer (also Andrea cameo)
-VINCENT VALENTINE
-Cloud wearing different outfits
-Sephiroth. Just Sephiroth
-Zack being alive in an alternative timeline, while our party is in the main timeline (I WAS RIGHT THERE ARE TWO TIMELINES)
-Sephiroth knowing more shit than before
-"Its upon us, the reunion, when worlds merge. I'm waiting Cloud" SEPHIROTH TRYING TO MERGE THE TWO TIMELINES TOGETHER!?
Before Sephiroth joined Smash, I like to think that in the days leading up to him joining, Cloud keeps on having visions of him and seeing feathers everywhere. He doesn't know if he's hallucinating or if Sephiroth is actually astral projecting himself. Some of the smashers obviously noticed Cloud acting strange and thinking he has some kind of presence
The most damning evidence was when some monsters attacked the mansion, and some of the fighters were affected with miasma, all except for Cloud who was near the source of it yet didn't get infected by it. Peach concluded that it was some kind of guardian angel, much to Cloud's dismay
Peach:I think that someone is watching over you, Cloud, like your own personal guardian angel!
Cloud:*rolling his eyes* Yeah, right, you know I don't believe in that kind of stuff
Peach:I know that, but you've been acting odd like another presence is nearby! That's the only explanation!
Cloud:Yeah, well, I don't think "angel" is the best word to describe it
Days later, Sephiroth joins Smash Bros, and Peach has that look on her face like, "I knew it!"
CLOUD BIRTHDAY!!! Post-Canon design be upon yee!! Advent Children doesn't exist in my mind <3
don't you hear the cry of the planet? (save him)
In today's world news:
Mini Sefikura Drabble (based off of my Twilight AU)
"They always say that humans want a piece of heaven"
Cloud could feel his chin being lifted coming face to face with the seraph in front of him. His six black wings wrapped around Cloud's body, so aggressive yet also gentle to the touch.
Sephiroth smiled, looking at the blonde mercenary with a tempting look in his eyes. He unfurled his palm, revealing something red inside of it.
"So how about I give you this?"
Cloud looked at Sephiroth's right hand as a familiar red fruit suddenly appeared into midair.
"An apple?"
"Yes, Cloud, an apple. But this is no ordinary apple. "
"So what is it then?" Cloud looked at the red fruit in front of him. It looked like an ordinary apple, but upon looking closer, Cloud could see that it shone brightly like the sun.
"A fruit from the tree of knowledge, humans are forbidden to eat it, but I managed to sneak in and get it just for you~"
Oh boy, was Cloud in for it now. Here, he was tangled up in the wings of a fallen seraph being handed a divine fruit from the godly garden.
Cloud didn't want to admit it, but it wasn't the apple he found tempting.
FF7R Mini Theory: Hollow and the Sefirot
So I've been noticing something regarding Hollow and the Kabbalah (it's way too complicated to explain here, but it's basically just Jewish mystism). Anyways, in the Kabbalah, there are these divine attributes called the sefirot from which God would reveal himself. It's also very important because this is where Sephiroth got his name from.
There's also the polar opposite of the sefirot, the qliphoth. The qlipoth that protects the sefirot much like how a peel protects a fruit. The qlipoth are also known to be called "empty shells/husks"
It's like there... hollow inside. Just like Cloud Strife himself
So without these sefirot (divine attributes) that manifest in the physical and spiritual realms, the universe will basically descend into chaos, which is the last thing we want. Cloud and Sephiroth during the edge of creation scene represent the universes of creation (Cloud) and death (Sephiroth), yin and yang,
The Qliphoth and the holy Sefirot
Well...without the sefirot, what will the qlipoth's purpose be? They are now empty, hollow shells, kinda like how Cloud's mind is shattered and how he wants to be whole again, yet he needs to regain his true self in order to do so. The sefirot makes the qlipoth complete, just like how Cloud becomes complete with Sephiroth.
I would be lost drifting alone.
I hate how some FF7 fans who want the Rebirth story to stay the same as the OG are ruining theorists' fun. The trailer just came out, and we still don't know a ton about the game, yet some people instantly came to the conclusion that it's the OG based on what was shown in the trailer.
The developers are probably going to reveal more about the new mysteries in later trailers, yet some people are saying it's the OG all over again. Meanwhile I'm having a blast theorizing about big bad Jenova and time traveler Sephiroth,and many people are analyzing the trailer and making theories out of it that sound 100% better than the plot of the original FF7 (in my personal opinion).
I think that Rebirth is a completely new thing with the same plot points, character arcs, and story themes, but it's different from the original game. And I will die on this ship until it sinks. To all the FF7 theorists, have fun theorizing!
they say the devil was the prettiest angel
I noticed something in the new FF7 Rebirth trailer
Sephiroth reveals the nature of Jenova and her ability but why?
Sephiroth never even revealed Jenova like this in the OG as a part of his plan, so why is he doing this? Isn't revealing her nature the last thing Sephiroth wanted to do?
Here's what I think is happening, Sephiroth is being forced to work against Cloud. He traveled back in time, still tethered to Jenova, hoping to stop her and save the planet from whatever destiny it's tethered to (yet it also has consequences as we see in the alternative timeline)
Sephiroth is doing this of his own will
Yet he's still shackled to Jenova, so he needs Cloud's help in order to break free from her, but Jenova is taking advantage of Cloud's shattered mental state and false persona, so it's like a godly game of tug a war.
I think the Sephiroth who's manipulating Cloud and trying to convince him that Tifa isn't real is the past version of him from the OG, while the real Sephiroth, the one who we've been following all along, is trying to break free from destiny's grasp, stop Jenova and save the planet.
I could be wrong, and this is just a retelling of the OG, but I don't buy that one bit, especially when both the developers and part of the story say otherwise. Anyways, that's what I grabbed from this scene.
I'm sick and tired of these FF7 fans who want/say that the FF7R Trilogy will be 100% like the OG
Ok, but if the trilogy is the same as the OG, then why go all the way to add the characters defying destiny? Why add Zack being alive in some parallel universe? Why add Aerith and Sephiroth knowing more than they should?
I think it would be pretty pointless to have the characters defy LITERAL DESTINY only for events to play the same as the original. It just doesn't make any sense to me.
The developers of FF7R specifically said that NEW MYSTERIES would be added to the trilogy, yet the themes of the story and key plot events will remain intact, it will just play out way differently than the OG. Nearly everyone in the FF7 fandom, including popular influences, agrees that things in FF7R will be changed. Even the developers of Remake said many contradictory statements about the game being the same as OG.
I'm going to die on this hill and you cannot stop me.
Sephiroth wing headcannons
Sephiroth goes through molting season
He can not fly during this time, everything hurts, and feathers are everywhere. It's an absolute mess.
He normally molts outside in a place less crowded with people. God forbid feathers get all over his clothes.
Baths help with loosening up his feathers. He uses a natural body of water if he can find one, He may also bring a ton of blankets to keep his temperature stable.
He has to vacuum his room twice a week. That's how many feathers he sheds
His wing is sometimes extremely sensitive, and he hates it when it is touched. He doesn't want to be seen as vulnerable, so he mostly keeps it tucked in and only gets it out as needed.
Now, if someone tries to RESTRAIN Sephiroth's wing, then hoo boy, that's a different story. Do that to him, and a different side of Sephiroth will show.
He sleeps using his wing as a blanket
Sephiroth sometimes prefers to wear loose-fitting clothes or no clothes at all, especially during molting season, to give his wing more space.
Headcanon that Cloud has a photography hobby and he sometimes goes around the Smash Mansion taking pictures. He mostly does it for fun, to relieve stress, or to spy on whatever the villains are doing.
He takes pictures of lots of things and captures a lot of unique aspects in his photographs. He says it is a hobby, but Byleth and Bayonetta are convinced that he's just taking pictures to get a good view of Sephiroth working out.
