[FF7]

[eibborn.livejournal.com]

It never occurred to me that the scene could be interpreted in a way other than that.

[uncieloazul.livejournal.com]

came here to say exactly this o_o

[mondaisenshi.livejournal.com]

Third'd.

He's a cantankerous old man, but most of that is an embodiment of his inability to express his emotions. This is an acute example of this. I mean, yeah, his dream's kinda been taken from him, but that's not her fault. Not really. And he knows it. He just tends to misdirect... thus...

[moonsheen.livejournal.com]

Fourth'd! He seems honestly a bit oblivious to the fact she's so guilty about it.

[urplesquirrel.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but it still bothers me that they apparently got married later on. He was flat-out abusive to her throughout most of the game.

[skylar-inari.livejournal.com]

This, ew. That marriage just makes my skin crawl. :|

[urplesquirrel.livejournal.com]

Ugh, yeah. If a guy who's been awful to you for years suddenly apologizes and says he won't do it anymore, that means he totally loves you and you should marry him!

No, no, no. I refuse to chalk that one up to cultural differences. It's fucked up.

[(Anonymous)]

IDK he's grumpy towards everyone, but I don't think I'd call him abusive. He isn't emotionally manipulative or physically abusive towards Shera. He's just a grumpy swearing shit.

[(Anonymous)]

...He was abusive? He yells at everyone and the most we ever see him do is yell at her to make some tea after he's said it a few times--just like how he yells at Cloud and the gang to sit down and have some goddamn tea.

If yelling alone is inherently abusive now, then... WTF.

Also, Shera was far worse on herself. She worked for him to make up for ruining his dream, and as ornery as Cid is, I can only imagine he tried to tell her that she didn't have to but she insisted because that's the kind of people they are.

[donotthrowsouls.livejournal.com]

Do people actually think the former?

Like, I played and finished FF7, but I certainly wouldn't consider myself part of the fandom. Is that what the majority assumes, so you had to make a secret about it? I thought fandom was all about overthinking and analyzing things instead of just taking things at face value.

[vivalana.livejournal.com]

I... never thought it was the other way. I mean, what?

[meiko-matsui.livejournal.com]

I don't know if this is a Cid/Shera secret of a Cid & Shera secret, but it makes me smile either way. I always thought that too, mainly because I always figured he was in love with her, and uh, Dirge anyone? LOL :D





P.S.
[shameless self promoting]
I'm totally the co-mod of a dead Cid/Shera community, teadrinkers404, that I am aiming to bring back to life..
[/shameless self promoting]

[aurenare.livejournal.com]

I'd LOVE to see that comm alive again, so if you need some help to make it happen, I'm totally by your side :D

[meiko-matsui.livejournal.com]

That would be so lovely! I suppose I'll have to talk to my former co-mod. Since college, we've gone our own ways but have kept in touch a little, so that is probably sadly a good reason it died which I have always felt bad about. I apologize for that. Thank you for letting me know this though! The fact that the followers care so much gives me a lot of motivation to jump start the com! Also, your offer is very kind and I may take you up on it if need be, thank you! If you have any suggestions, that would be wonderful!

[smittenlotus.livejournal.com]

I thought that was the defining point of their relationship? Can't say I'm a fan of that in itself though. I like Cid, but I don't like how mean he always is to Shera. :/

[moonsheen.livejournal.com]

I'm just sick of fandom going on and on about how clearly abusive their relationship is. Cid's like that to EVERYONE. TBH, hey always reminded me of Red and Kitty from That 70s show...

Then again, this was a fandom that I swear to god used to argue for Cloud and Sephiroth as a healthy relationship, so idk.

[meiko-matsui.livejournal.com]

This! After seeing how Cid interacts in general it's obvious he is gruff, not abusive, but that's hard to see when we're only reading and nor hearing his tone. It becomes way more evident in AC:C and DoC.

Haha! Oh come on everyone is a little guilty of CloudSephiroth...
Even I was. But look, we say 'used to' and 'was'. Clearly we see differently now because we're older. I don't see why we wouldn't get smacked in the face with what would be technically considered the 'same thing' unless it was different, and it is. Sephiroth is a crazy bastard and Cid is a gruff dude with a heart bigger than he can handle sometimes.

[urplesquirrel.livejournal.com]

See, I'd agree with the AC:C and DoC clarifying it if the Complication hadn't blatantly retconned so much of the original game. Don't be surprised that we went with what we saw in the OG exclusively.

[meiko-matsui.livejournal.com]

I actually like AC:C and DoC, not as much as the OG (nothing can replace that magic) but, I digress... I still stand by it being very interpretive given we cannot hear his tone, nor is there anything to describe it such as "He hollered at her", nor do we see their facial expressions or things to descibe them like "she flinched as he screamed at her". From the way Cid interacts with people in general though, I gathered my own interpretation. You're more than welcome to stick to yours though. I'm not here to try and sway anyone, just piggyback off moonsheen and see what they thought about it, considering our given thoughts.

weird, i was just playing this bit today. never saw it like that.
