for the ask game, how about vincent! 2, 7, 8, 12

2: Favorite canon thing about this character?

To be honest, there are too many things I adore about him to nail down one specific favorite thing, but near the top would probably be his compassionate nature. He didn't have to get out of the coffin. He didn't have to go on the journey, he doesn't have to go out of his way to help evacuate Midgar, didn't have to help Red in On the Way to a Smile or Evan's mother in The Kids Are All Right, and could've just left Kalm when shit hit the fan and ignored the people.

Hell, Reeve asks for his help and Vincent says "I want no part of this," only to help out anyway, and ultimately save the world (again); it's in his nature to help his friends and others. He looks cold and unsettling, but under the "…" is a warm, caring person whose heart has been hurt several times over, yet still has the capacity to love and care for those around him.

I love him.

7: What’s something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you like? I love how fandom manages to bring out Vincent's subtle humor and care for children. What little we've seen of both in canon, fandom's embraced it fully, and it's wonderful to see, especially considering that… well, he appears pretty fucking imposing, lol. Please give me more of Vincent's little smirks and smiles after getting a crack on someone/joking around, and more Uncle Vince with the kids.

8: What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you despise?

I don't like how he seems to turn into a simpering loon whenever Lucrecia's brought up. Yes, he adored her. Yes, she rejected him. He does eventually come to terms with this, people (but this means acknowledging Dirge of Cerberus, oop). Even in the past, he wasn't nearly as doe-eyed about her as people make him out to be, and at times it feels borderline incel, which is precisely not what he is.

12: What's a headcanon you have for this character?

I know I've mentioned it before - and those who read some of my work have seen it in a few pieces - but to me, Vincent is an artist who enjoys sketching; more often than not he'll have some sort of small sketchbook with him, and has a tendency to doodle on napkins and whatnot. It helps him focus and clear his mind as well, and he'll occasionally do some journaling while sketching. It was a childhood hobby that he pursued on his downtime, and one of his treasured gifts was a leatherbound sketchbook and pencil set he got for his tenth birthday from his mother.

It's a personal hobby that he tends to keep to himself; there have been the rare gifts of a Vincent sketch to those he cares for, and that is one to treasure.

#thanks for the ask! #and for letting me ramble for a little bit #i love him your honor #vincent fucking valentine

You can tell what the ship war/Tifa vs Aerith/Whose the “True” Heroine/Love of FF7 is about because it never includes Barret, despite him being a romance candidate (even IF the OG boiled it down to one big antiblack gay joke), or Yuffie (thankfully because of her age though I shutter to think how she would have been treated if she was an older, viable candidate), or Zack despite his bond with Cloud, or Jessie for that matter. All these are background elements to the ongoing fight over who is the default love interest and thus true love of Cloud.

Which is boiled down to, which one of these women are meant for this man.

It doesn't care that Final Fantasy 7 is a world-spanning story about humanity, genocide, imperialism, and trauma. It ignores that while Cloud is ultimately our main character, it's a story of an entire cast of main characters who are just as important to the ever moving plot as Cloud.

And really, as it insults Tifa and Aerith by trying to suggest one's story is more "important" than the other, it also insults Barret by completely ignoring that his efforts are the instigating factors OF the story and that the running theme of saving the planet? Is because Barret was the first one to scream it in the narrative. It ignores Yuffie's and Red XIII's fight to preserve their dying cultures in a world that actively wants to destroy them for the sake of capitalism. It ignores Cid as someone whose dreams were crushed by capitalism and become so consumed by his pain, he hurt everyone around him. It ignores how Vincent played an active role in Sephiroth's birth and the core corruption of Shinra.

And I think it absolutely misses the theme of FF7 and Cloud in general. Cloud loves everyone. He loves all his friends. If the Remakes and Rebirth did anything, it put on display that there's not one single person that Cloud loves--but all those he has met. Yes, he loves Tifa and loves Aerith and maybe in one or both, he has romantic feelings for them but he clearly loves Barret, Red XIII, Yuffie, Zack, Jessie, Bigs, Wedge, Reeve/Cait, and--as we'll see later--Cid and Vincent.

If any of them died, Cloud would have been devastated. Aerith is special and he mourns her in a specific way because she's AERITH. Not because she's the ONE. SHE'S AERITH. Irreplaceable just like Tifa, just like Barret, just like Yuffie, just like Red XIII, just like Zack, and Cait/Reeve, Cid, and Vincent.

For the last near 30 years, the ship wars have rewrote Cloud's intense love for the people around him as just a heteronormative love story and it's gross.

None of the characters deserve that, but specifically Cloud, Tifa, and Aerith who are so much more than players in a stupid love triangle.

#cloud strife #aerith gainsborough #tifa lockhart #barret wallace #zack fair #yuffie kisaragi #red xiii #reeve tuesti #cait sith #vincent valentine #cid highwind #Cloud Strife fucking LOVES so hard he'd rewrite his memories for these people #I can't believe that's what people are missing between him and Sephiroth either #the reason why he can BEAT Sephiroth is BECAUSE HE LOVES ALL HIS FRIENDS #HE NEEDS THEM #MAN BEAT SEPHIROTH WITH THE POWER OF LOVE #AND YOU JUST ASSUME THE LOVE TRIANGLE IS IMPORTANT HERE? #GET OUT OF MY HOUSE

Had a convo in my server about an actor AU where FFVII was just a movie/show and everyone lived a different life off set. Therefore I had to unseph the roth. He wears a wig and contacts every time he has to shoot a scene and he hates it ✨

ölakshdfasjfhdsdfh hi, I'm Elven, and I'm becoming increasingly addicted to making longass VP comics uwu (and loving every second of it, let's be real XD)

This one has been on my "wanna do" list forever - or at the very least since @pinkyjulien trusted me with his boy 💛 Thank you so much for letting me take Valentin on some unexpected adventures!!

The thing is, I had always wondered if and how these two could ever meet (and also if they could ever become friends, because let's be honest, they're from very different worlds.... or are they 👀 alköasdhfdf I'm already saying too much, there is a part two that will follow in a separate post, but I'll link it below once it's here)

[Part Two - now here :D]

But yes!! Nothing better than fateful meetings at unexpected times :D And I hope I'll have Vince as an NPV somewhere down the line as well to send him on some adventures of his own!

Also, some BTS from a while ago for everyone who read this far:

Very sus

Short, colorful rattail kings 🤌

Vincent 1-26 bonus question is where does he take Reilena on their first date

OH BOY~ *cracks knuckles* I am gonna skip a few of them due to being answered here, so they'll be crossed out, and I'll stick a cut in after the first to save everyone's dashes (because hi, I ramble).

1: Why do you like or dislike this character?

I fell for him at first sight; the first time I flipped through a friend's game guide while he was approaching Nibelheim, I saw Vincent's picture and said "we're getting him, right? because i love him," and I pulled an all-nighter to get him in my party during a playthrough of my own, lol. At first, it was the aesthetic, but then you find that there's so much more to his character. He's not a melodramatic brooding vampire - he's a former Turk with regrets, who was shot (and killed, depending on your interpretation), experimented on, given immortality, and wanted to sleep away the rest of his years to atone. He cares so deeply, but has been hurt so he keeps it to himself. He's a loner, but enjoys the company of his friends/found family. He may look frightening and cold, but the looks hide a warm, sensitive, caring soul, someone that can be trusted and depended upon even if he says at first "I want no part of this," because he's compassionate. He's there for others.

He's a deep, multidimensional person that deserves so much better than what he was given in life at first, and deserves to be cared for, loved, and to live freely; he has atoned for what happened, and for so much more.

I love him.

2: Favorite canon thing about this character?

3: Least favorite canon thing about this character?

I don't like that out of everyone in the VII group, we know the least about his past. He was in the Turks, he was a bodyguard for those involved in the Jenova Project, he had a crush on Lucrecia, his father was Grimoire Valentine… and that's it. I know part of that is due to him being made an optional character due to time constraints, but man. Even Dirge only went into his Turk past while working at Shinra Mansion.

4: If you could put this character in any other media, be it a book, a movie, anything, what would you put them in?

I want to read his life story; give me a novel about Vincent Valentine (lord knows I've written enough about him, lol).

5: What’s the first song that comes to mind when you think about them?

The stereotypical answer would be either REDEMPTION or The Nightmare Begins; for me, a song that comes to mind is The Cure's 'Burn,' from The Crow.

6: What's something you have in common with this character?

Quiet personalities that take time to warm up to others, overthinking things, and determination. Also, neither of us look our true ages.

7: What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you like?

8: What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you don't like?

9: Could you be roommates with this character?

I think so; we'd know to give each other space until we're comfortable enough, and would be fine with spending time together in quiet company.

10: Could you be best friends with this character?

Probably, yes.

11: Would you date this character?

Again, possibly? I'd go out with him, but I'd see us becoming close friends more than anything.

12: What's a headcanon you have for this character?

He enjoys card games; though he tends to politely decline at first when invited into a game, Vincent will join in eventually, and just might end up the winner. He has an excellent poker face.

13: What’s an emoji, an emoticon and/or any symbol that reminds you of this character or you think the character would use a lot?

Either a coffin (because let him sleep) or a solemn face. The eyeroll/annoyed face is when Yuffie blows up his phone.

14: Assign a fashion aesthetic to this character.

Please put this man in corsets/a corset vest. He has the perfect figure for it, and they'd look so good on him (I'm not biased lol, but uh, a corset is part of his work uniform in the casino AU I am forever writing little scenarios for while I work on the actual longfic).

15: What’s your favorite ship for this character? (Doesn’t matter if it’s canon or not.)

Vincent/Reilena; yes it's my canon/oc ship, and I love them dearly.

16: What’s your least favorite ship for this character?

Romantically? Yuffentine. Never saw the appeal to it; age difference aside, their personalities are so radically opposite of each other, I don't see it working out at all. Hell, their friendship took time, and even then Vincent still gets tired of her antics (though he knows she means well). Though to be fair, I also headcanon Yuffie as asexual, so I don't ship her romantically with anyone.

17: What’s a ship for this character you don’t hate but it’s not your favorite that you’re fine with?

Valenwind; it's been a longtime brOTP of mine. Also, VinVeld with the more I've seen of it.

18: How about a relationship they have in canon with another character that you admire?

His friendship with Reeve; I like their banter early on in DoC, especially Vincent's quip about Reeve's outfit. Also, his concern over Tifa in OG is sweet and helps show his compassion - it's another pair that I don't ship romantically, but platonically.

Also, I can absolutely see him and Shalua talking and bonding over Lucrecia's research. SHALUA DESERVED BETTER, DAMMIT.

19: How about a relationship they have in canon that you don’t like?

If this was me years ago, I would've said Lucrecia without hesitation. Now? …I don't know. Perhaps the eventual friendship with Shelke, because it's written in such a rushed and creepy manner.

20: Which other character is the ideal best friend for this character, the amount of screentime they share doesn’t matter?

I could see him and Cloud being good friends down the line; I don't ship Strifentine romantically, but they'd be a brOTP over time, sure. Also him and Barret becoming friends is a fun possibility, too; John becoming Vincent's hype man during Matt's VA announcement helped, XD

21: If you’re a fic writer and have written for this character, what’s your favorite thing to do when you’re writing for this character? What’s something you don’t like?

GIVING HIM HIS HAPPINESS, lol; I like showing his warmth and humanity, giving him reasons to smile and let his guard down, and just… be. Letting his actual personality show when he's comfortable, and getting into that vulnerability.

Something I don't like doing when I write for Vincent? Reaching into his mind and tormenting him, making him relive his worst nightmares and 'what-if' moments; I know it's character growth, but dear god, he's gone through enough, fffffff.

22: If you’re a fic reader, what’s something you like in fics when it comes to this character? Something you don’t like?

Found family - if Advent Children proved anything, it's that this group is close no matter the physical distance. Also, Uncle Vince is adorable.

Not much of a fan of him being portrayed as a weakling.

23: Favorite picture of this character?

I HAVE WAY TOO MANY, UH...

*dives into the Vincent art folder, goodbye world~*

24: What other character from another fandom of yours that reminds you of them?

Pretty much a given/expected, but I don't care: D from Vampire Hunter D, and Testament from Guilty Gear. D is more Vincent in the OG and through AC, while Testament (especially Strive!Testament) is more AC through Dirge and post-canon, personality-wise.

25: What was your first impression of this character? How about now?

Then: I love him (based purely on his looks and entrance), but I thought he was a little too cold and emotionless at first, and wanted to get to know more about just why he was so "......" over damn near everything.

Now: I love him, and he deserves nothing but happiness and good things, because he has gone through more hell than anyone else ever should or needs to in one lifetime.

26: FREEBIE QUESTION!!

Oh man, first date... without counting the Gold Saucer, since that was more of an impromptu one...

Vincent would go the typical 'first date' route and take Reilena out to dinner. Tifa would try suggesting they just hit up the Seventh Heaven, Vincent says "no" because he knows she and the others would be peeking in on them, but relents and says that maybe they'll stop there for drinks later while making reservations elsewhere. Depending on the time of year, it might be an outdoor place, otherwise they'd get a booth/table in a corner for privacy, to let them both talk and enjoy each other's company.

There would be a definite "...oh~" moment for both of them, since it'd be a nicer place, and this would be one of the first times they've seen each other dressed up. Sir, is that a little flush in your cheeks~? And yes, he would bring her flowers, because he remembered Aerith's advice.

It would be a late night, and depending on how close the chosen restaurant is to Reilena's place, Vincent would walk her home (because he is a gentleman and wants to be sure she's safe), quiet laughter because they don't really want to end the night once they're at the door...

...and then they both lean in at the same time for a mutual good-night kiss. Does it deepen after a few seconds? Yes it does ♥

Does she invite him in to stay the night~?

♥♥~

(and it's a good thing Reilena silenced her phone during the date, as the next morning when she looks at it, there's texts from Tifa asking for 'all the saucy details~')

#phantasmacabre #thanks for the ask! #also tee hee first date ramble~ #i love them so much okay #vincent fucking valentine #reilena #vinrei #also look i have a lot of thoughts about ships - i am of the 'ship and let ship' mindset - & i have been known to make exceptions for some #i.e. not normally shipping a pair but dang if so-and-so does a helluva good job with them i can see it
