I need to learn that even if things get marginally out of my control, it's not the end of the world. Sometimes situations really are perfectly innocent. Murphy's Law is not always in play. So breathe, self. Breathe.

I'm also discovering I'm a lot happier when I ignore Plurk's existence. So, yay?



Anyway.

I have about thirty tags in my inbox I should be doing! But I spent a good part of the day cleaning and forcing my knee up and down flights of stairs.

Clearly that means it's time for video games.

Liveplay! Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII.

Sephiroth tells Zack about Angeal, Genesis and him sneaking into the training room and running unauthorised simulations.

~FMV flashback time~!

The world needs a new hero, after all.

Why does this scene exist.

Aside from being really pretty and demonstrating what a pretentious, badass wannabe villain sue Genesis is.

/sums up this character for me

[temples]

It's totally true. Genesis, why do you exist

[temples]

And the minute Genesis gets a papercut, Angeal is all, "NOOOOOOOO."

Scene over. It was like Advent Children: The Continuation. Pretty? Yes. Point? Got me.

And then Angeal gave Sephiroth a lecture... even though Genesis was the one being reckless and overly demonstrative in a training simulation...

To be honest, I wasn't really listening.

Which is unfortunate. This game is endearing Sephiroth to me a little. I was never a great fan in the original for the one time I played it, so. Hm.

Sephiroth was kind of cute in this game and I regretted the inevitable. ;;

Yeah, the cutscene was gorgeous and awesome except for the parts where Genesis was doing things and being a poser. But everything sucks when Genesis is doing things and being a poser.

And quoting motherfucking LOVELESS.

Quotes from LOVELESS are at least 80% of Genesis' dialogue, motivation, and personality.

An "epic" poem is not a substitute for character building, Final Fantasy.
