EXCELLENT LIFE CHOICES

[lowkey]

I got in bed at ten, stayed up until one writing a new fanfic. I REGRET NOTHING

Basically, it's a WIP fixfic that I'M SURE WILL SOLVE ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING! that's not right with FFXIII's ending. Oh, and Hope gets up-aged so that he and Lightning can hook up.

Fan fiction: don't like the original world? BUILD A NEW ONE

It's all overshadowed by Fang/Vanille and Hope/Lightning. Oh, and Lightning/Fang. D:

There is no love for Sazh. I would have even thought Vanille/Sazh and Lightning/Sazh would be somewhat popular... but FFXIII is kinda like the Wicked fandom in that it's kinda all about the femslash, with the splatters of het.

I've only even found a tiny bit of slash, but mostly it's Cid/Hope or Snow/Hope or, weirdly, Hope/Maqui. *shrug* Even Cid/Rygdea isn't as popular as I thought it'd be...

[lowkey]

I CANNOT UNSEE CID/RYGDEA

SRSLY I need to make this happen now.

[mako_lies]

Cid/Rygdea is one of my favorite ships ever. Seriously. They work together and there's all the angst at the end of the game and UNF. Yes. It pings all my buttons, all at once. djfdkfdkfjdkjf

THIS IS HAPPENING NOW.

Or, at the least, serious bromance times will ensue.

[mako_lies]

*wishes it was Cid and Rygdea instead of Basch and Vossler*

Hooray! Cid/Rygdea is freaking awesome!

[lowkey]

WAIT there's a Texts From Ivalice/Dalmasca out there? WHERE IS THIS TREASURE TROVE I MUST HAVE IT

[mako_lies]

XD Yes

Here for Ivalice.

Here for General Final Fantasy.

Here for Spira.

Haven't looked through the Spira ones (not much of a X fan) but the other ones are hysterical. XD

[lowkey]

I don't think you understand how happy all of these make me. THEY ARE ALL SO GOOD

Also: goodbye, productivity.

[mako_lies]

Your icon makes it all better. XD Have fun, some of them really had me in tears.

(One of the things I noticed from the Gen FF one is that Lightning has an obsession with tacos... It's pretty hysterical...)

[lowkey]

You know, it took me a REALLY long time to find an FF icon that expressed any sort of exuberance.

Final Fantasy: very good at making emotionally fucked-up bad asses, not good at much else.

[mako_lies]

You should play FFIX. Zidane was an upbeat badass. He was the reason I never really liked Tidus. Zidane was a classic womanizing thief who fell for the princess and was just a sweetheart underneath it all. And he was a BAMF.

[lowkey]

So basically, Zidane = Han Solo?

You know, on that recommendation alone, I think I will play FFIX.

[mako_lies]

Kinda. Except way, way less of a jerk. I'd recommend it. It's not the most popular by FF standards, but frankly, I think it's one of the best. It has a really good story and the characters have a depth that a lot of the Final Fantasies missed (VIII and XIII, I'm looking at you).

There wasn't a single main in IX who was there just to be there, even the gag character, Quina. And the story was complex without being the cluster fuck of Tactics or XII, and it was so much more subtle than XIII ever was.
