AYRT

I loved CC Aerith. That’s what won me over on her. She had the same mischievous nature to me but was less pushy. I haven’t had a chance to play the remaster so I don’t know if that will hold up though. Remake Jessie feels like OG Aerith to me so post OG Aerith has always been a win in my book and I’m annoyed Jessie will likely be showing up again. (Except ACC. Everyone sucked in ACC. I hate everything about that movie except Denzel and how hot everyone was).

The shippers are wild. I hang in a very quiet corner of the cloti fandom where we’re like “clotis and cleriths who pretend the other side has nothing going for it have a biiiig storm coming probably.” Though I do think the Zack factor is the big unknown and his potential survival could definitely shake the ships up. Because truly, Zack/Aerith is juggernaut ff7 ship imo.

Aw. Different strokes really, but it's SO hard to find female characters who are actually independent and self-motivated (plus, "older" and fun-loving but not in a "useless drunk MILF slacker" way) that I seldom like female characters at all, so she felt like a breath of fresh air to young me and it's sad that she STILL does. While doing my research I saw this: https://www.reddit.com/r/FinalFantasyVII/comments/qvfy9a/them_aeris_in_ff7_is_so_sweet_gentle_and_innocent which reminded me exactly why I love OG Aerith so much but also what makes her OG character so difficult to redo tastefully. Come to think of it maybe yes, something about new Jessie is similar (I like her).

The worst shippers are scary. Not only for being weirdly blind to other ships, but also because they seem to mix up stuff like accusations of pedophilia with ship wars. Get your priorities straight??? I (don't do het shipping often actually - I did say I don't care for fem characters often and only ship characters I like ...) have never been in a fandom with shippers so voracious and it's scary and sad to me. Disliking a ship is different from not acknowledging realities and attacking those who do and that goes for both sides.

Truly everyone was hot in the movie haha. Gbye Reno tiddies

Yeah but Zack/Aerith was barely a thing in OG - the only cutscenes of Zack we got there were of... Zack and Cloud (and Tifa and Sephiroth once). It became an important ship in CC but frankly, even compilation wise, if society wasn't heteronormative "should Zack be with Cloud or Aerith?" might be the discussion lol. ("Do you have a minute to listen to the word of Clack?") And I love looking at every possibility instead of narrowing it down to a silly binary "ship war" and it IS kind of sad to me that this is the current state of affairs in the fandom. Sigh.
