If we're talking about something based on a prompt, I'm willing to give it a try. No need to give me anything for it either. I take payments in shits, giggles, and ego boosts.

Oh Starling, buster of my bubbles...Oh well. So long as Supernova is AMAZING, i'm sure my dark, twisted little fan-girl's heart will be just fine :lol:

*Cough* *Cough* Alternative ending that shows what happens if Sephiroth wins *Sneeze* *Belch* What? Why the cock-eyed glances? I said nothing. Must have been the wind...Makes strange noises these days, it does.:wackymonster:

Can you point to exactly what the supplementary stuff was? I'm inclined to agree, because that sounds familiar, but when it comes to canon it all depends on how authoritative the supplemental source was. At least some mild experimental procedures, even if only in the form of more frequent than...

To me, this one line speaks to how long Sephiroth's been considering his origins. Maybe the curiosity was only casual for the longest time, and not worth the trouble as Licorice kind of indicated, but the events of CC certainly brought it to a head. And what a lonely thing to have to say... I...

In all honesty, this is probably the most valid assumption. Hojo's too much of a fan of head games, though, so in my opinion, it was probably a combo of psychological abuse and emotional neglect. Because Sephiroth was ultimately one of Shinra's prized 'trophies', I can see where one might make...

It was. I looked up a play-through of that part to be 100% certain. Wouldn't want to go spouting off a bunch of total nonsense. Only partial nonsense from me, I swear!:lol: As for how difficult Sephiroth's childhood was or wasn't, I think we have to agree to disagree. I'm definitely biased...

Thanks Mayo. I believe that's what I was thinking of. At any rate, we have a pre-Nibelheim event where it can be said or at least theorized that Sephiroth had isolated himself for several days for the sake of research. I remember playing that part, and thinking, "So, Nibelheim was just the...

Maybe not explicitly... Urgh...someone help me out here. There was that one part in CC, where, just bit before Nibelheim, Zack can't get in touch with Sephiroth because he's busy researching something. "Was I created this way too?" seems like a really huge leap for something that hadn't been...

Yes and no. You do find out more in a kind of second hand manner if you make sure to get Vincent's final limit break, because that requires you to talk to Lucrecia, who then reveals the story behind Sephiroth's 'creation', and how she was basically never allowed to hold him as a baby. That's a...

Neither do I. Personally, I find villains with understandable roots far more intriguing and tragic, not to mention frightening for how they paint a picture of what a total loss of faith in and identification with humanity can do. In my opinion, a good villain is one that kind of provides in his...

I think having Sephiroth read some additional snippets from whatever journal he's researching when down in the basement could be good. As for Sephiroth's childhood--the context clues as to what that was like are really all over the place if you look closely. Overall, those clues tend to point...

Well. FFVIII just got bathed in a whole new light for me. :wacky:

Five Finger Death Punch-- 'Cold'

I agree about the screaming and growling. It's alright in moderation and if done well, can kind of add to a song the same way percussion or bass does, but if the whole song is nothing but, "Raaawrraaawrrrurggraawrr!", it does nothing for me that a big dog throwing a tantrum doesn't. Sons of...

Yes, I do feel the same. My annoyance with modern pop is usually spurned on by the fact that I hear it literally everywhere in public, and the fact that pop musicians tend to play the part of some kind of 'real life' soap opera that too many of their fans get hooked on. Some of my stronger...

'Skies Within' by Mattia Cupelli. It's hellishly long, but I swear it sounds like something that belongs in a Final Fantasy game, probably right after tragedy hits but the party decides they must move forward anyway. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vH1Mi6dEiww&spfreload=10

^That takes me back to when I was all of 13 or so, and the internet was really just catching on in the form of AOL and such. Yeah...I remember those days. Don't slink away. That's some good nostalgia.

I probably came off the wrong way here...Forgive my tactlessness. I absolutely do not believe in judging another person's personality or overall intellect by what music they listen to. I've met too many people who've expressed better thought out ideas in two seconds than I could hope to come up...

And they'll continue until morale improves!:monstersmash: Truth be told, I'm still hyper-critical of my own fics, to the point where it often stifles my creativity. Rather than diving into the world and characters' heads like I should, I become overly-concerned with the consequences of getting...
