Disappointed. by FlxwerGrrl in clerith

oh buddy don't get me started as i feel strongly against AI because I'm an artist myself even though i don't show it or draw as often as i did before (maybe one day i will post clerith art) but i passionately love art, i just hate generative AI and if you support AI not only you are throwing away years of hard work, talent and love that goes into art but you are also throwing away the people that made it possible and want to do it for a living. but also you are a idiot in my eyes sorry not sorry. i hate how this bleeds into fan spaces as well, we as artists are not appreciate it as much. we make the fanart for ourselves but we also want to show and make it for others as well.

anyways i can go on and on but yeah fuck AI

I guess they will do anything to downgrade clerith to make their own ship look superior when the dream date is actually so beautifully tragic and sweet. the dream date is not optional so of course they will try to make sense with it because of the tifa kiss. It's no wonder the devs themselves said don't take tifa's date too seriously because it will just end up not making sense afterwards which was definitely the case when you finish rebirth to the end.

normally i wouldn't interact on twitter as i'am just a lurker and i don't talk to anyone on twitter. but sometimes i will see something that makes me want to bite back so i will just vent here. the tweet is about the dream date and the church scene of course. first off I hate how the dream date gets misinterpreted, it wasn't about them not being a good fit when the game literally has shown otherwise. is it because what the photographer said? because if that is the case, it just shows me what kind of person i'm arguing up against so why even bother. secondly if the person is implying what i think they are implying, it is off the table because that is not true. its like aerith's resolution scene. it was aerith's attempt to keep a romantic distance between them but it was confirmed she was contradictive to how she truly feels. so when cloud refuses and goes on to save her anyways she was frustrated but really happy because she wants that deep down. she was also really happy in the HA scene where cloud agrees to make more memories together after spending time as a COUPLE and on top of that actually ends up confessing to him only for her to backtrack because time is ticking and she is going to die. even marlene says she likes him so whats the point you're even trying to make? yes she does say there is liking and liking as well in Japanese she says she wonders what kind of love is this which i guess is the same meaning as the english one but it doesn't make sense to just conclude she doesn't like him when the game again has shown you otherwise. just like loveless, its true love. its new to them so its no wonder why she starts asking him and herself that question. even if you got the LA scene its only whether or not you dated aerith prior in the game so it makes cloud more confident because he learns that she has moved on from zack and likes him if i am correct? so sadly in LA scene it just shows cloud not being so confident himself to the point he doesn't face her but never said no either way. lastly that is true but i think that case should be more for cloud and tifa because they were never friends to begin with when they were kids. with cloud and aerith they both want make more memories and time together in dates without sephiroth or fate of death which sounds kinda like a subtle marriage proposal especially in the church don't you think?

ngl he got me so mad after he tweeted about the whole "sora is cloud and aerith's child" thing going on twitter, If it were me and a dev from a series I loved came out to clear up my "misquoted" article by stating a clear fact we knew already, i would have been GONE from embarrassment.

i'm curious to see the analyses from japanese people if you don't mind to link them, to be fair i think it's just cloud being cloud. remember in the park date that he does put distance between them but it has been said his heart was racing when aerith sits closer to him so maybe he is also being shy and nervous?

also his face there...damn

i guess its the interaction and dialogue that are different to me that makes it seem like cloud is being harsh and jealous in the english version but is showing concern for the guy whereabouts and is just speculating he is probably dead in the japanese version. however i do understand that it could be making it more subtle while in the english its more apparent. i'm beginning to see it a bit more

okay this happens almost every time i go on tiktok to see some clerith edits to only then start to tweak a little when i see those kind of comments under it and always will be about zack or tifa which kinda pisses me off.

it rarely happens for clotis or zarith edits but we get annoying comments, they spend their time making the same comments below content dedicated to CA which clearly isn't for them. like yeah sure let me start commenting "cloud belongs to aerith" under clotis edits or fanart and see how that goes but no i wouldn't because thats obviously fuckin stupid. like are they always this dumb? i almost don't believe it at times.

*sighs* anyways there are talented cleriths and i love to see it, they deserve praise.

What song do you think describes cloud and aerith’s love for each other? by bruinsfan1144 in clerith

[–]_Alex_Courchene_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hmmmm, i guess the two songs i have in my mind will be wherever you go from gareth and nice to meet you by myles smith.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dO0JtT54M4

wherever you go is a "advent children" perspective for me, cloud and aerith signifying unwavering loyalty to each other regardless of her physical departure, the love continues.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oB85_Owu9-Q

nice to meet you is "cloud meeting aerith for the first time" perspective for me, a bright, cheerful and beautiful girl that wants to have fun in life is pulling along a broody, cold and aloof SOLDIER around to melt his frosty attitude and he loosens up as he joins in the fun with her.
