Hihi! ive taken up writing letters as a hobby on the side, and it’s got me wondering:
How do you think agszc would approach letter writing? This can be a very broad question :) as im sure some of them write back home / write to eachother during wutai, but i’m specifically curious whether any of them but genesis bother with any of the fancy stuff. (wax seals and custom stamps, the specific stationery paper + envelope sets, the nice fancy fountain pens, etc…)
hope ur having a good night alto! its been a while :)
Hey! Always great to hear from you 😊
Sephiroth is needlessly formal about all forms of letter writing. His penmanship is absolutely flawless and he always uses the most professional wording possible, even if he's just sending a letter all the way to the frontlines of Wutai to basically tell Genesis to shut up. He has his own personalized wax signature since he's mister big fancy corporate hero man.
Intimidated, jealous, and a little excited at this, Genesis makes it his mission in life to outdo him. Fancy red ink, flowery language, and the parchment always seems to smell like perfume. He always over emphasizes his name in the signature, so much so that it's practically BLEEDING ink from being so emboldened. Angeal points out that he could always send an email or a text. Genesis tells him to be quiet.
Angeal writes basic letters like a normal functioning human being. He likes collecting stamps on occasion and categorizes him based on the level of importance each letter holds. No flowery or formal language here! "Dear Genesis, please don't throw the cadets off the side of the ravine for fun. Love, Angeal"
Zack's writing is borderline incompressible, with messy scrawl that clusters all over the paper to the point where it's hard to make out what he's even saying. But don't worry, he provided visuals. Doodles as far as the eye can see. And about eight different stamps since he isn't sure if he's doing this right.
Cloud's penmanship is surprisingly very impressively neat. He didn't even notice until Sephiroth leaned over his shoulder while he was writing home and commented about it. Cloud had a heart attack, of course. Cloud makes a full attempt to try to help Zack improve his writing, but gives up after Zack determines that the only way to fix it is if he adds more stickers.
internet friends are kinda like illegally downloaded friends. you don’t get the physical copy but you still get all the great content
Mammon x Reader (Promise)
Warning: Angst, Hatred
Throwing his jacket in a random direction in his room, Mammon runs a hand through his hair before letting himself fall onto his bed. It's not the comfiest bed he's gotten, not that he often sleeps on it, but this time, it's as if the mattress is lulling him to sleep, the temptation to just close his eyes. But he doesn't. No, he can't.
Rolling onto his back, he puts his right arm in the air and looks at his hand, more specifically his pinky finger. The finger you placed your promise upon.
"I will never leave you, Mammon. I promise."
Those were your words and yet... Mammon lets out a sigh and puts down his arm, eyes staring at the empty ceiling. After you left, he was hurt. So, so hurt. His heart aches for you but he can never see you ever again. Tears well up in his eyes but he blinks them back, refusing to look weak even though there's no one else with him. He feels as if you'd judge him from afar.
The Great Mammon feeling hurt by a human. It's such a ridiculous thought to him and yet here he is, turning that statement into real life.
"You promise?" Mammon looks at the human, his human.
You nod, smiling.
"Lies." Mammon whispers, gritting his teeth.
"I promise."
"Lies!" He sits upwards and unconsciously turns into his demon form out of anger.
Realizing his own form and anger, he turns back to his normal self and hugs his knees. If he were to push away what little pride he has left, he'd pray to his own father and kill himself which would send him back to the Celestial Realm.
What did he do wrong? Where did it all began? How did he... Lose you? So many questions flood his mind, swirling around like a tornado but none can be answered other than you but you're gone. He could've ask you if given the chance but he refuses to and he regrets it bit by bit. Every. Single. Day.
"Damn it..." Mammon's voice crack, his shoulders slightly shaking. "Damn it! Fuck!"
He punches his pillow, the soft cushion harshly hitting the wall. "How fucking stupid..."
His heart aches so much. He wants to see you so much but he just can't. He refuses to.
Walking through the halls of RAD, Mammon hides a small gift box behind his back. He plans to surprise his human with an item he had bought with his own money that he worked on. He can't wait to see the happiness on your face. After all, he loves the bright smile on your face and every time you give him a smile, even if it's just a small one, he's just falling more and more for you. Truly, he is in love.
Just as he was about to enter your class, he hears your conversation.
"Yeah, Mammon's so annoying and so fucking stupid, I mean, did he really think that I actually like him? Bitch, please. He's just head over heels over me." Your laughter is heard.
Mammon takes a moment to process your words and when he finally does, overcome by wrath, he barges into your classroom. A look of shock and horror is displayed on your face but Mammon couldn't care less. He threw the gift at the floor near you and clenches his fists.
"If ya fucking hate me so much, then tell me straight to my face! Here I thought that yer' sincere and aren't like my brothers at all but I was so fucking wrong!"
"Mammon, I-"
"No, shut yer' fucking mouth, ya' lowly piece of shit! I don't want to see ya' anymore! If I see ya', don't think I'll beat the shit outta ya'!"
"Fine! Just get out of my sight, scumbag! Your brothers were right about you!"
From that moment on, he avoids the human. It hurts him. Even after betraying him like that, stomping onto his trust like that, degrading him like that, he still loves you but because of you, he can no longer trust another other than his own brothers, not again. He doesn't want to get hurt anymore but he just can't bring himself to hate you even after everything you've done.
Mammon sobs and lays down on his bed. He fights his tiredness as the night lasts for a couple more hours, gradually losing sleep. It's bizarre how love can be so simple and yet so painful if not reciprocated or worse, been told that you're not loved.
I was bored
So I made these :D I can't find a lot of wallpapers with these two so I made some
Malik's death in Revelations was tragic and violent enough as it is, but if you take into account how Altaïr's relationship with Malik began, it feels very targeted on Abbas's end.
Think of how it began with Altaïr's worst mistakes, getting his younger brother killed and Malik's arm ripped off. I'm sure Abbas was there to see him nearly expelled from the brotherhood, I'm sure he heard the fate of the Al Sayf brothers. Only for Altaïr to take that horrible mistake and its consequences and become the best possible version of himself, from unable to handle any responsibility to becoming the youngest mentor the brotherhood ever had. Even his relationship with Malik would go from animosity to close and trusted friend. You could argue that Malik was his GREATEST friend, other than Maria and his own children. The kind of growth and maturity it would take from both of them to get to that point is frankly astounding and for all Ubisoft's faults I think AC1 and Revelations did their due diligence with that
And then Abbas took that all away from him and never let Altaïr move past those mistakes he worked so hard to correct. How do you think he felt, being sent the severed head of the man started his journey with by severing one of his limbs? The mistakes of his youth cost Malik his arm, and now they've cost him his life in such a way that defiled and violated his body even more horrifically, after Malik trusted and loved him like a brother.
I like to think that Malik died protecting Sef from wrongful execution and defending Altaïr's honour. That the man who faced some of the bloodiest consequences of his past mistakes kept his youngest son safe and his reputation intact at the end, even at the threat of death for himself.
Hell, I imagine Malik was a bit of an uncle figure for Darim and Sef growing up. Perhaps the very thing that got him executed in the end was trying to keep Abbas's blades away from Sef.
Hmmm today i wanna cyber bully the shit out of jacob
MY BOYS 😭😭😭 I LOVE THEM SM JSKSKSMD
SEPHIROTH CAN READ ZACK.
Small rant(?) kinda. Okay so in Obey Me! there's this text with Lucifer talking about a quiz
So okay. Basically everyone did okay (save for Mammon as he barely passed) and I wasn't surprised that Satan got 98% cuz ofc. He smart af (I couldn't crop it any more sorry)
And I know that Belphie is smarter than people give him credit for because it has been claimed by him that tests are so easy to him that he falls asleep. But I didnt expect THIS
100% FUCKING PERCENT? EVEN SURPASSING SATAN? Fucking WOW. I've always thought that either Lucifer or Satan is the smartest but damn. Nevermind.
Then again, maybe this subject is particularly easy for him compared to other subjects but if you played the hard lessons (18-15 & 18-17), even though Belphie doesn't want to do stacks of homework and assignments given by Lucifer shortly after getting out of the attic, he is actually commited to doing it despite his sin.
He could've slept, could've burnt it and give some shit excuse, could've bribed someone else to do it, anything, yet he still does it, with MC's help cuz doing months of assignments while learning on the way through in such a short amount of time is just crazy. He's been locked up for MONTHS and Lucifer never gave him any kind of education from RAD (he should've tho. Least he could do so that Belphie can waste time) and yet he scored the highest among his brothers.
Sure, you can back it up with him being a demon with centuries of experience but this is an exchange program which most likely means that Diavolo changed the syllabus so that humans and angels can pass alongside demons.
He may be my least favourite brother (I actually pretty much dislike him) but I really admire these positive qualities about him cuz I know if I were him, I'd go insane and cry.
This actually turned out longer than I thought
Sephiroth and cadet cloud spend the day together!
Sephiroth is out on a solo mission and brought Cloud along to teach him the ropes. After a long day of work, they settle down at their campsite.
The glowing fire heats their faces, the cup in Cloud's hand is warm enough to lull him into a sense of safety, and he just can't get a thought out of his head.
"Sephiroth?" Cloud asks after a period of mutual silence.
Sephiroth looks up from his own tea. "Yes?"
Cloud looks back down at his tea. "Do you think we're friends in every universe."
Sephiroth considers.
"I don't know," he replies. "Are there others besides this one?"
Cloud begins to swirl the liquid in its cup. Anxiety has sunk it's teeth three inches deep into his shoulder blades.
"Maybe there are. Maybe there's one out there where we're enemies, you and I."
Sephiroth's eyebrows flash. He makes a quiet noise of amusement before setting his own cup on the ground in front of him.
"Well, if such a life even exists..."
Cloud feels Sephiroth's gloved hand weigh on his shoulder. He looks up, surprised to see the older man smiling at him.
"I'm glad we're not a part of it."
