zack & aerith both being flirty is actually so cute to me bc i can imagine them trying to one up each other in compliments but zack would always be the first to get flustered… when he tries hiding his blush aerith would lovingly tease him some more 😭
thinking about how zack must’ve been in so much pain until he just could no longer feel anything at all anymore and i fucking die every time like man fuck everyone and fuck everything he didn’t deserve any of this 😭😭😭 he was just a boy 😭😭😭😭 im crying
no thats not the main reason for the hate but since this was brought up, id like to share my thoughts & opinions about it
ive had it with people trying to put the blame on tifa for keeping silent
first of all, lets all try to understand tifa’s perspective on the situation
⬇️
i really just don’t get the hate tifa is getting. i don’t get how either of the girls is better than the other. i played ff7 for cloud, but i stayed for tifa cause i grew up relating to tifa’s character and feeling heard as a kid who’s had a rough life. it’s just disheartening.
the way this girl has every reason to hate the world but still chooses to be kind and selfless 🥲 her ability to remain compassionate and supportive despite the constant losses she’s faced and everything she’s been through, is just incredibly fucking moving 🥲 i love you tifa 🥲
canon this non canon that optional this non optional that, just delete the fucking game atp💀 yall are soooooo fucking insufferable. if it’s in the fucking game then it fucking exists. who gives a living fuck about YOUR playthrough, mind your damn business. so damn pathetic god.
Asked about the kiss at the end of Tifa's date, Toriyama says it's something fans have only been able to imagine till now, so they carefully considered how explicitly they could depict the visuals. He also says he felt a little embarrassed watching it as an older man. (RbU, 2024)
this scene makes me cry every damn time 🥲 cause when they sat at that tower, they were in this delicate stage between childhood and growing up. they were just two kids in a small town, dreaming big and believing in each other before the world threw all this darkness at them. ⬇️
in a way, tifa is also trying to reassure herself that everything will be okay ☹️ the burden of uncertainty is heavy on her and she’s unsure if she can even trust herself with this ☹️ oh let me cry
cloud and tifa's relationship being dysfunctional in some ways due to external forces like sephiroth and jenova, is actually a testament to their bond and resilience. a beautiful example of deep, genuine connection. like, no relationship in ff7 is perfect. ⬇️
AND UNDERNEATH THE STARLIT SKY, BY THE WATER TOWER’S SILHOUETTE, THEIR PROMISE SHIMMERED LIKE MOONLIGHT ON WATER, FOREVER ETCHED IN THE FABRIC OF THEIR SOULS IM SCREAMING AAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 😭😭
i was at the mall and a game shop was playing the ff7re trailer, a lot of people gathered so i watched for a bit. then this person beside me went “omg hi ff7 fan? i’m a clerith” and i went “aaa hi yes! i’m a cloti”, tell me why she rolled her eyes on me and just walked away? 😭😭
who up loving cloti’s optional kiss 😚 i love cloti’s optional kiss guys omggg do you love their optional kiss too like god i love ff7 rebirth’s optional kiss so much
why are people so against tifa being a mom? nah it’s not cause of the “lack of implications” in AC, it’s definitely more than that
“denzel calls her tifa and not mom” etc etc
that just shows how little y’all know about adoptive families and how little respect you have for them
heavy/toxic shippers tend to disregard the fact that characters can, and should, have multifaceted relationships with multiple people.
this reductionist approach where every close relationship is viewed through a romantic lens, can lead to a shallow interpretation of the story.
“cloti is boring” still at it? 💀
cloti represents a profound paradox within their relationship, just like they are as characters. they share a deep, unspoken bond rooted in their shared past, yet their connection is often fraught with unaddressed emotions and misunderstandings.
why do people keep saying that cloud holds no romantic feelings for tifa when he literally kisses her in the gs date, which was a system to show the audience what and how cloud’s relationship is like with the date? 😭 and gongaga literally happened too like cmon now LMAO
every time yall say tifa only likes soldier cloud & he isn’t his real self w tifa, i die a little 😪 no amount of “and it was that night that also made her see cloud, whom she adored, as an ordinary boy” and “when he talks to tifa, cloud’s true self briefly emerges” can save yall
It’s not who fell first, it’s who can’t keep the fall a secret because it’s written all over their faces, as obvious as a bruised elbow and a knee scraped raw. It’s who keeps falling, every look and touch a new stumble. Maybe it’s not a fall anymore — it’s a jump.
It’s not that we hate on Tifa.
It’s that we’re annoyed that people are trying to compare her to Aerith.
It’s no comparison.
Tifa is basically useless.
And so many girls wanna be her and choose her over Aerith, which proves how far women today have fallen. IMO

people who hate zack and tifa are actually so miserable like i’m sorry you have such a sad life ☹️ you’re so pitiful and pathetic, i feel so sorry for you and your sad pitiful life ☹️ sorrows sorrows prayers </3 get well soon
to call you the love of my life does not do justice to how much i love you. my existence doesn’t make sense without you by my side. for the rest of our lives, in the next, in every alternate reality, i'll be yours if you’ll have me.
one day i’ll be better. and i’ll be forgiven. and loved. and finally be truly allowed to live. and i’ll hold happiness in my chest, put it in my pocket, wear it when i smile, and i’ll make sure it sleeps next to me, and it’ll be the thing i see when i woke up. each day & forever
one day tifa is a manipulator, the next day she is gaslighter, another day she is a sexual abuser, the next she is a prostitute, the following day she’s a whore, and now she’s a predator 😀 i’m so tired of y’all like actually
square enix heard me crying about how aerith and tifa never had the chance to take pictures together 😭 that tifa didn’t have pictures of aerith by the end of ff7 😭 so they gave me this 😭 this was for me y’all sorry
the idiots agreeing in the replies 😪 all y’all care about is shipping here and there that you give zero fucks if cloud’s character is being slandered like this just so it can score shipping points. i’m sorry but y’all do NOT care about cloud at all. let’s stop pretending now. 🤪
some so called “aertis” are so quick to abandon tifa when she gets hate and its so hypocritical lol sorry ive had enough, i literally just saw a couple “aertis” shit on tifa, being misogynistic towards her. dont use aertis’ name & hide behind it just to glaze your straight ship.
