What If Aerith Was Tifas Class Instead? An Idea For Both Classic And Remake (sorry, Rough Ideas, A Bit

What if Aerith was Tifa’s class instead? An idea for both classic and Remake (sorry, rough ideas, a bit messy!)

screaming crying and throwing up bc there's not a single ship out there that makes me feel this typa pain like clerith. i ship cloud w someone else actually (sail the cosmos with the planet as my vessel) but holy fuck clerith has got me sobbing into my fucking pillow at ass o'clock in the morning.

it takes cloud one goddamn day of knowing aerith to fold & start to change his opinions on the planet and how he looks at the world. (cloud "you really believe that" strife suddenly starts looking to the flowers for advice with aerith)

he plays off every interaction like it's just a job he has to get through, but every time she speaks he listens so attentively because he's interested in what she has to say. wants to know her life, her experiences, what makes her, her. he doesn't know how to act around someone as open and honest as aerith. it's uncomfortable being seen, but aerith is unapologetically herself and for the most part, doesn't hesitate in showing him who she is. cloud starts trying.

those little micro expressions start opening up bit by bit, he can never seem to fool her anyway. he fails a little, keeps trying again, gets it right. gets it really right, and she's smiling underneath their double high five. cloud looks at her like she's hung up the sun, the moon, and all the stars in the sky. looks at her like he's just in complete awe that someone as beautiful as her— both inside and out— exists. don't lie to me and say he's had that expression on his face with anyone else in this game (yes i'm talking about wall market. cloud's fr got hearts in his eyes).

"i'm coming for you" because this is about him and her. there's no "we're", just " i'm", like he's forgotten to hide his feelings behind others, and either doesn't care or doesn't notice how much aerith has influenced him already. he wants her to know that it's him, he's the one who is coming for her. and the way cloud says it, so absolutely and fixed, like he's made up his mind and there's nothing she can do to change it. aerith's made her stance about their relationship but so has he. cloud, who has always been so awkward and distant with his feelings, has suddenly become vocal. "do i get a say in all this?" "that's very one-sided".

he'll always fight for her. in the past, present, and future he'll always be fighting for her. it's obvious that's where the other two games are going, and christ, knowing he really will never stop, go through hell and back, defy destiny if it means he can keep her here.

that's some true love, soulmates, star-crossed lovers shit.

no one can convince me that they're not in love. romantic, platonic, somewhere in the middle, idc but those two are in love.

and then there's me who is in love with their love 😭💔 i don't have the strength to watch it a third time, but the gmv cloud x aerith: you make me better is a must watch.

Surprise, been a few years since my last Narusaku drawing, huh?  This song has been haunting me and inspired me to finish an old sketch idea.

For the Fateful Reunion Zine

Aerith: Cloud try complimenting yourself.

Cloud: I...

Aerith: Go on.

Cloud: Am Cloud.

Aerith: Okay. Yeah.
