Day 33: Moments from previous FFs you wish had been alluded to/referenced

Right now only one or two come to mind and both are from XII:

"HEY BUCKETHEAD" and "DON'T BELIEVE ONDORE'S LIES!"

There's quite a few walking tin cans in Dissidia. Couldn't Vaan have used it on any of them? SE, I AM DISAPPOINT

OH WAIT I LIED, THERE'S ACTUALLY MORE:

"I, GARLAND, SHALL KNOCK YOU DOWN!"

Some reference to the Shantotto Ascension DLC for XI.

"Nice gun" and LIGHTNING PAAWNCH from XIII

Terra's world map animation should have featured her cuddling every moogle she came across. ALSO IT WOULD BE NEAT IF SHE COULD TRANCE AND FWOOSH LIKE THE WIND.

Bartz's acrophobia. Srsly where did it go, SE?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Well Bartz's acrophobia had a nod in the Japanese version of the original Dissidia when he faced Kuja, he'd get creeped out by the fact that the guy was flying in the air. This became "You sure like flying around." in the english version and then sadly it got ditched for 012. Considering how often Bartz goes near heights in cutscenes this is rather infuriating.

It is, isn't it?

But yeah it's too bad they ditched it in 012. I can't remember if there's a part in his story where he fights on the Sky Fortress but that should have been the place where he'd freak out the most. IT'S A FLYING FORTRESS AFTER ALL

Not to my recollection... But I would've expected him to get nervous in the Eternal Rift, I mean it's yet another floating fortress with edges that are very easy to fall off! Exdeath could just hover in the air and it would spook Bartzy-boy. (Actually if Kuja weren't such a delicate little waif then he could've won his battle with Bartz simply by lifting him up in the air with him as he glided upwards until Bartz screamed "UNCLE!!!")

Kuja could have lifted him up in the air with magic. Maybe with a psionic-type spell or HECK, FLOAT. CAST FLOAT ON BARTZ AND THEN JUST LEAVE HIM HANGING IN THE AIR.

...I'm terrible XD

How the hell did I forget float? *waves get out of derp-free sickie card*

Yes, whilst Kuja deals with the other two clueless boys. As Mat, Kefka and Ultimecia laugh at poor Bartz's misery.

*equips accesory with a permaFloat buff on Bartz* THERE! NOW THE TORMENT CAN REALLY BEGIN >8D

~~I don't even hate Bartz or have anything against him and yet I do this~~

Honey, I adore Kuja to the death and yet most of the fic or art I make involving him features him being tormented, humiliated or abused in some way. He's just too much fun to make fun of. Ohohohoho~! (Hell there's a kink meme piece someone else did of Mateus beating him up, binding a collar around his throat, torturing him with electric shocks and then forcing him to masturbate that I keep going back to. Yeah, I'm a creepy perv but it was such a deliciously evil Mat!)

MY FAIR LADYBOY WAS AWESOME. AND OMG YOU USED OUR NAME FOR WOL, WHICH MAKES IT EVEN MOAR AWESOME!!!!

~~The name which hit us with a very hard unblockable Fridge Brilliance that causes instant BRV Break last night but that's another story...~~

Goddamnit I was so excited I had to delete this three times to do last minute editing. I fail XD

THANK YOU, I AM GLAD TO PROVIDE THE WORLD WITH BRAIN BREAKING CRACK. AND I FIGURED YOU WOULD APPRECIATE THAT ALLUSION.

(One day I shall pluck up the nerve to post that Kujerra sequel. Kujerra made me their bitch when I posted the original and then someone made a request for a sequel, I balked and posted it on my journal (f-locked) begging for help as to whether it was worth continuing, Rai became a convert to the ship and all of a sudden we were creating a scenario where Kuja went to live in Moblitz with Terra and they had 3 small fluffy tailed children)

Elaborate please?

(Paid account, I can edit my fail! Though I always make even more errors in the editing process...)

Well I suppose since you're not involved in the rp I can spoil it >>

Basically we were brainstorming and at one point Railenthe asks "who else remembers his name?" And after listing some people I put up the possibility that maybe Shinryu ate (nearly) everyone's memory concerning that name. Then of course the question is "Why would Shinryu do that?" (Not rai's exact words but you get the idea) Of course as I started thinking on that another part of my brain was going on about Norse mythology...

AND THAT'S WHEN THE FRIDGE BRILLIANCE HIT ME WITH ALL THE FORCE OF A SHINING WAVE/ULTIMATE SHIELD/RADIANT SWORD/SHIELD OF LIGHT

IT WAS GLORIOUS.

After Railenthe posted something about a theory she had (which I can't remember atm but I'm too lazy to read the message history right now) I posted this little gem:

"Names have power. Maybe Shinryu did it because of what is associated with his name."

Yeah it should hit you any minute now...

Um... not too familiar with Norse mythology I'm afraid... (Unless you're talking about the FFVI Siegfried which I doubt)

Edited 2011-07-01 18:28 (UTC)

Not even the Nibelungen Opera!?

I'll keep it brief then:

Early on in his story, the hero of the Nibelung Saga, Siegfried slays the dragon Fafnir, which up until that point, had been the keeper of the Nibelung ring (magic ring, though I confess I never really understood what it could do).

AND THEN RAI GOES AND CEMENTS THE FRIDGE BRILLIANCE EVEN FURTHER WITH THE FMV CINEMATIC OPENING OF THE PSP REMAKE OF FFI

I get it now. (Yah, never heard of the Opera sadly)

Yah, does make a lot of sense...Especially with the anthology FFI FMV.

Have you forgotten that VI!Fried is fail? XD

Which is why Prishe named WoL 'Mr Snooky Pie', so there's no chance of that happening!

Is it bad that I see him playing with her ears when she goes there? Just because he knows damn well what it does?

Remind me what that does again?

"Stop it stop it stop it! Dammit, are we running a peep show or what?!"

"I haven't done a thing." As if he doesn't even notice he's doing it, he runs his little finger along one long, pointy ear.

"I s-said, 'quit it!'" She doesn't sound all that convinced, though

"QUIT IT! OR ELSE I'LL--"

"Or else you'll...what?"

He says it right by her ear, intentionally drawing it out so that the brush of hot breath on that delicate skin lasts as long as possible.

I think that muse's waking up again at last…

Is Prishe's condition better than or worse than Kuja's tail being ultra sensitive? (I have got to draw that extra smutty Jechtja picture when I'm a bit better)

WoL...you're quite the closet perv, no? XD

And who said anything about closets?

I think it's about the same—except Prishe would own up to it. ~~Oddly, not anywhere near in public, though.~~ Except that Kuja's kinda repressed, so…you got a point, Kuja's in much more trouble when it comes to that sort of thing.

Neither one of them can take that sort of thing for very long though XD.

I don't know how sensitive Genome tails are canon-wise (I'm guessing similar to any animal with a tail; if it has nerves then they will certainly react) since the only clue we really got was Zidane getting incredibly pissed off when Laguna pulled his tail. I'm guessing that must've been somewhat painful even with Zidane's tail being used to hard labour when it comes to supporting his weigh and all. Since Kuja shields his tail away it must be extra sensitive. Which means all the more crack/kink potential! 8D

Kuja couldn't handle 5 seconds of it. Or even 2. I bet even with Terra he can easily be controlled by the tail...

For some reason I see Red Mage as mostly oblivious.
~~AND WHEN HE NOTICES SOMEONE AFTER HIM IT'S TOO LATE FOR ANYONE TO SAVE HIM~~

…I kinda want to do a drabble on that…

Well I never got past that bridge in FFI (damn you, Nobuo Uematsu and your legendary theme!) so I'll have to take your word for it.

*almost done with part II*

I'm working on fic based on the entirety of FFI. If you were on DeviantArt I'd link the entire folder, but there's some SRS BZN violence in a few chapters and so it's filtered.

~~(Plz post it? I confess I read some of it in Rai's journal and I'll be honest with you: I WAS THE ONE WHO REQUESTED THE SEQUEL XD)~~

You know I was wondering who the OP was... (Not of the first one, for that I have no clue since it was requested so long ago)

I will post it when I've eventually sorted out the beginning. Posting bits of it to Rai for feedback helps me feel a lot less stupid about the whole thing. Currently I'm doing a little Kujerra writing activity to keep me motivated. Basically I've got to write 10 words for 10 different themes for the couple so that I end up with 10 mini fics and 100 words in total... So far I've only got 3 done...

Actually

Bartz, to Vaan: The sky's kinda scary if you ask me...
Kain, to Bartz: Surprising, that you would fear the skies.

It's there but so ninja'd you can miss it

Well that just makes me feel piratey, yaaar!

(Using the format the 10X10 party came up with, here are 10 mini 10 word fics for Kujerra. Each with a different fanfic genre)

NOTE: IKEA PWP is interpreted as sex where things don’t go according to plan. And D/s is dominance/submission.

Gender Bender

“I had a hunch Terra was a lesbian.” Edgar shrugged.

Love Triangle

Kefka loves his fluffy trance users. They do not reciprocate.

Angst

Regardless of emotional accomplishments, the name ‘Terra’ will always sting.

Hurt/Comfort

“I know…” Terra clasps Kuja’s hand. “But Kefka’s gone now.”

Character Death

Terra can never look at feathers without tear-stained eyes.

IKEA PWP

“Stop laughing!”
“Sorry, I can’t help it! The tail tickles!”

D/s

Once her claws are out there’s no denying who’s boss.

Smut

Crimson fluff can always be found clinging to Terra’s crotch.

Kid

Hyperactive, tranced toddler mages = sleep deprivation like you wouldn’t believe.

Fluff

“It’s so soft!”

“Don’t touch it!”

“Please…?”

“…”

“Please?”

“…alright, fine.”

-------------
(Now that I've done this I might give another of these activity themes a try for Kujerra...what do you think?)

Go for it Toffee I believe in you! 8DDD

On to the 10x10: they were fun to read and overall it seemed to have a lighthearted tone despite some of the more serious ones. Again, I say go for it!
~~Is it bad I'm wondering what that tail was being used for in IKEA PWP~~

BELIEF HELPS ME STRIVE FORWARD! 8D

My theory is that the tail, although prehensile, sometimes slips out of Kuja's control. Though I imagine that ocassionally the tail is used for leg caressing or to pull Terra closer...it always gets up to some naughty stuff. And betrays Kuja's feelings so that it flits about when he's annoyed, curls when he's very happy, shoots up when he's surprised... Ehehehe...

~~Naughty tail is very naughty indeed! I APPROVE OF THIS RUNNING GAG~~

Also: I can haz moogle icons plz? Particularly the PalaMecia and Kujerra ones? XD

(Sorry for the delay, I was having my dinner)

~~Kuja himself is a running gag, the tail just helps add to it. Also it allows Kuja to get up to some VERY naughty fondling without having to dirty his fingers...:X~~

Yes, you may. The moogle post was made here (by moi!) but Kujerra wasn't included there. So HERE:

Is it wrong I see Terra with little floating hearts there?

She'd be all over that tail and you know it. Also refer to icon. (Feather love hearts too!)

That's what SHE said?

If You Know What I Mean ;D

So instead, have a piece of the Kujerra fluff I'm having fun with. (NOTE: Set in Treno, the city that never sleeps. It's composed of nobles and slum residents with Kuja implied to be 'Mr King', the most influential aristocrat in Treno. Though this does follow our Mobliz fanon, just it's not evident in this bit)

--------------------------
Pearls

“I think it’s a little too fancy for me.”
“Nonsense, you wear it like a dream. Why I could compose an entire rhapsody around the image of you in that dress---”
“But…it’s not going to be very practical. And the pearls…won’t they drop out?”
“Not if they’re handled with care, miss.”
“I’m sorry. I just don’t think it’s right for me.” Terra bows her head guiltily as the seamstress and assistants help her out of the gown.

As this is a private fitting commissioned by the infamous ‘Mister King’ at his mansion no protests are made over Kuja’s presence whilst Terra changes. He refuses to leave her unattended and since he’s a gentleman paying through the nose those tailors will do things his way or go without his business.

“No matter. I’m certain we’ll find something suitable. Which reminds me---” Kuja clicks his fingers at the seamstress, “She’ll be needing a winter cloak. Something thick yet comfortable; perhaps with a fur lining. And a hood if possible.”
“But that’s still months away.”
“I insist. We can’t have my little bird’s wings nipped by winter’s merciless chill now, can we?” He returns to sipping wine at his chair as a new dress is brought forth, a white smock with a black bodice, plain in comparison to the ostentatious precedent.

“I think it’s too small. Do you think it’s possible to let it out?”
“If you try it on first, miss, then we can take your measurements into account.”
“Okay then…”

The fitting is a little too tight—Terra gasps and before he knows it Kuja has shot to her side. The seamstress immediately loosens the gown and Terra takes a deep breath of relief—it’s alright, she was just startled.

Kuja tries to brush off this slip of composure with a sheepish wave of the hand. “Fetch something that allows a little more freedom, nothing with a corset or boning.”

Terra can’t help but smile as she clasps his hand. He tries to remain firm in front of the salespeople. “I won’t have anything that makes her feel constrained.”

It's…so…GEH *sits there with happy hearts floating around*

I intend for the fluffiness to really pile into overdrive in the final drabble. But so far this is the only one I've got down. *taps away at keyboard*

I will have someone bring me a small freezer to resolidify.

It's so cute and sweet and OMG HE SEEMS DETERMINED TO SPOIL HER....damnit...not much else to say except...

MORE PLZ? *pays Kuja to do the puppy eyes for her*

Kuja's a bigshot in Treno so he's determined to throw money around to please his beloved. But we know that doesn't matter to Terra.

MORE IS ON THE WAY, I'M TRYING TO GET IT DONE AS QUICKLY AS I CAN---

Why NO ONE brings up the fact that Cloud's hair looks like a chocobo's rear.

Or makes kitty jokes with Squall.

Or why NO ONE gets nicknamed Chicken-wuss. ~~I'mma looking at YOU, Onion~!~~

I can't recall ANY kitten jokes in VIII XD

And I'm not really sure why Onion would get Zell's nickname XD

Shantotto made a kitten joke at his expense in the first game, a nod to fan!jokes.

And they totally capitalized on the VOID's memetic mutation.

Shantotto: Your defeat is una…VOIDable.
