Today’s FF16 Replay Bonus: I Completely Forgot That Cid Casually Mentions He Tried To Sneak In And

Sephiroth really does care for Cloud at all times, so as a result, maybe he is always in danger.

And there was only one bed!!!!

Sequel to this one

Actual poetry

reese malcolminthemiddle. he’s a bully. he’s a master chef. he canonically possesses no sense of empathy. he writes poetry. he ran away and joined the army. he immediately deserted the army. he’s been straight married. he’s been gay married. he’s godless. he’s christian. he had frosted tips.

I love Joshua in this scene. Just wish his tears were more visible and maybe have his face be red from the crying. Honestly same with Clive too.

One thing I really, really love about FFXVI is how many big, burly men show their emotions. Society often seems to tell guys that you can't cry or show weakness if you are to be seen as masculine and I just love that this story leans into being both strong and emotional for male characters that channel a lot of testosterone.

I miss brocon Clive

He’s just not as dotting as I thought he would be in his adult years

They deserved to have a fistfight

I finished all of Naruto + Shippuden in two weeks. Yes I’m crazy and I binged all of the canon episodes.

Anyway - I took notes on my thoughts before, during and after every single arc.

In terms of Sasunaru, I had some inklings about the pairing during Shippuden, none pre-time skip but what really made me fully believe at one point Naruto was maybe in love with Sasuke, was early Kage Summit arc.

I just didn’t think Naruto would handle Sasuke’s absence so poorly when I started Shippuden. I completely misjudged his character. I didn’t think he would be so clingy. It was like baby’s first breakup with him. It was genuinely like watching someone experience a breakup, get depressed but instead of getting over it in half a year, it was 500 episodes or 10 years of anime. He literally was not the same character anymore. Yes he got older but he was just such a downer compared to pre-time skip because he was depressed about his man.

I fully believed he was in love with him until the whole reincarnation brother stuff. 

So many ups and downs with Naruto but I love him. I can’t believe I’m saying this in the year 2024, almost 2025 but Naruto is one of my favourite anime characters ever. Maybe I just don’t watch enough shounen but I’ve really come to like Naruto. He’s so endearing and him recovering over his breakup was one of the most cathartic things ever. Literally more cathartic than 99% of the anime fights. My biggest takeaway from watching the show and how I remember it, was Naruto’s coming of age story from his career to his interpersonal deeply complex relationships he has with people, especially Sasuke Uchiha. Take that as you wish.

What I’ve been missing in my life

Naruto and sasuke still make me so insane like I already said this yesterday but few other relationships in fiction perfectly capture the gut wrenching heartbreak of having an intense homoerotic friendship and then having a messy falling out as teenagers
