Or... Not The Way I'm Reading Identity... - Tumblr Posts

....right there with you tifa.... the art is so good tifa lockhart nanaki Cloud Strife i know they talk about cloud before this not being real.... but for me that's shorthand for not being in touch with all of himself and performing who he thinks he should be or needs to be not like 100% inauthentic as the phrasing comes off to me because as much as he tries to act like zack and partially thinks zack's history is his his pre-breakdown self has a lot in common with his post-breakdown self it's him too... just a lost and hurting him trying not to be that that's how it seems to me and being in such conflict with himself makes him vulnerable to shall we say psychic attacks i guess i ascribe to a more whole cloud theory haha you can read him way more fragmented with good textual justification that's just not my angle or... not the way i'm reading identity... although my self concept isn't very solid either so what seems stable to me is maybe less so than others
