Impending legality alert

So, wow. In three days, I'm turning 21. I will at last be able to gamble and buy alcohol. Not that I will be much of a drinker or much of a gambler, but it'll be nice to know I can.

In celebration of this happy event, I think I'm going to make S'MORES.


And just for the halibut, meme ganked from [livejournal.com profile] alba_aulbath.

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children
| Le Basics |
Have you actually played the game?:Of course.
Did you watch the movie in Japanese with fansubs?:I did.
Did you buy the movie as soon as it came out in America?:The very day of release.
Have you watched the English version of the movie?:Natch.
Did you finish the movie and sit there going, "What the heck?":Not really.
Did you wonder what happened to the plot in the movie?:A little bit. XD
Ever want to smack the 'camera angles' in the fight scenes?:... camera angles whut now? I was distracted by the swords.
Did the fight scenes make you drool?:YES.
Did you/would you have paid money to see it?:I sure did. :D
What was your biggest pet peeve about the movie?:The way the whole Cloud vs. Sephiroth thing was this EPIC SHOWDOWN OF DESTINYYYY. It's very justifiable hatred as a result of unfortunate events, not TEH FATED BATTLE.
| Characters |
Did you absolutely hate anyone's char design? If so, who's?:No costume hate here! Barret's fishnet made me cry at first, but I've learned to love it.
Did you absolutely ADORE anyone's char design? If so, who's?:Yuffie's flower shirt owns me. It's really nice to see Tifa's more modest and practical outfit, too. :D
Who's your favorite character?:Zax. Zax Zax Zax Zaaaaax Zaxity Zax. XD I like them all, but Zax is my uber-favorite.
Was your favorite character from the game your fave char in the movie?:More or less, though the kids were adorable and the Turks were stealing the show.
Did you adore the silver haired men?:Eh, I can take or leave them.
Did you think Reno and Rude's characters were butchered?:Reno really shouldn't be that goofy, but they were very entertaining and gay so, not really.
Were you very confused on how Tseng and Rufus were alive?:Tseng, no. Rufus, yes. XD
Did Marlene creep you out at any point?:No! She's a cutie.
Who was your favorite silver haired man?:Loz. :D
Did Marlene remind you of a mini-Aerith/Aeris?:Maybe a bit.
How do you personally spell Aerith/Aeris's name, incidentally?:Aerith.
Which character did you like the least?:I'm not annoyed with Cloud now that I understand why he was so emo, so... Kadaj. Interesting though he was, I'm apathetic about the trio, and RRR YOU DO NOT DEFILE THE GRAVE.
| Fandom |
Are you involved in the FFAC fandom? If so, how?:Not really. I've come back to FF7 fandom a bit, but I haven't really done any writing or art for AC yet, nor have I sought much out.
Do you fanship? If so, who do you ship?:I ship Zax/Aerith, Cloud/Tifa, Zax/Cloud, Zax/Aerith/Cloud/Tifa, Reno/Rude, a little Tseng/Elena, and some Yuffie/Vincent and Cid/Vincent. And more. XD
Do you write or read any FFAC fanfiction?:Nah.
Do you draw or look at any FFAC fanart?:I look at some, when it comes my way.
Did FFAC leave you looking at the fandom to find the answers to questions?:A little bit.
| Ships |
What's your favorite ship (couple)?:Zax/Aerith. :D
Cloti (CloudxTifa), Cleris (CloudxAeris), or CloudxSephiroth?:Cloud/Tifa. They have so much history together and could be really sweet if they ever started communicating. XD Plus, with Aerith there's the whole 'dead' thing.
What ship would you never, ever read?:... My morbid curiosity leads me to read many things I don't want to. It has to be pretty bad to scare me away. XD
What pairing do you like, but shouldn't?:I appreciate the occasional Cloud/Sephiroth eye candy. Preferably with a sane Sephiroth.
What pairing should there totally be more fanfics and fanart of?:Zax/Cloud and Zax/Aerith.
What ship would never happen in canon, but you desperately wish it could?:... Zax/Cloud/Aerith/Tifa. XD
What pairing totally squicks you?:Hojo/Vincent.
| This or That |
Aeris or Tifa?:Aerith, but just barely. I like her spunk.
Cloud or Sephiroth?:Cloud.
Sephiroth or Kadaj?:Sephiroth.
Loz or Yazoo?:Loz.
Marlene or Denzel?:Denzel. Again, just barely, for his cute little pottymouth. (And being a Roxas clone.)
Reno or Rude?:Reno.
Elena or Tseng?:Elena.
Rufus or Rufus's sheet?:Rufus.
Movie or game?:Game.
Tifa's fight scene or Sephiroth's fight scene?:Tifa's. GO GO KICK HIS ASS TIFA
English version or Japanese version?:The original is Always Better(TM), but the English version made some things clearer for me. Also, the English version has SCOTTISH CAIT SITH and Denzel swears better.
| Randomness |
Did you wonder what the heck was with that sheet of Rufus's?:A little bit, but I wrote it off as a symbolic stylistic thing.
What question did the movie leave you wondering about?:"So what exactly was so important about the kids...?"
Did you cry at any point during the movie?:I whimper very loudly when Cloud's at Zax's grave, but I didn't cry.
Did you yell at the screen at any point?:When I first heard Yazoo's dub voice for any length of time, yes. XD "YAZOO'S ON DRUGS! D: D: D:"
Did you simply adore the new music? (Well, not really NEW.):I have the whole soundtrack on my iPod and Tenrai stuck in my head. XD Yes. (But why wasn't The Chase of Highway a Crazy Motorcycle remix?)
Final statements on the movie?:Glorious eye candy, shaky plot, but there was ZAX and TURKS and YUFFIE yeah I'm happy. And finally Cloud looks like he can recover from his emo.
Aaaand that's a wrap. Thanks for taking!

(But why wasn't The Chase of Highway a Crazy Motorcycle remix?)

My thoughts exactly!

As far as the apparently very important children, the creators said in the (rather long-winded) special features disc that Cloud surrounded by children was a major thematic idea the whole time they were developing an FF7 movie. I dunno, probably some kind of innocence metaphor.

Three days? Waahh! Next time, warn me in advance, as my memory is all shot to hell! *flails*

Yummy things heading your way, in any case. If you can take a break from all the gamblin' and boozin'. :D

(I will so not be 22 next month aaaaghhh where does time go?)

Ooh, yay! :D Can you send some more of that chocolate mint bar? The one whose name I can't remember but I think it started with a P and it was in a white-and-brown wrapper? XD

White-and-brown wrapper? Hmm... Was it Fazerina, by any chance?

Seriously, we have a zillion different kinds of chocolate in Finland. It's the one candy we can do right. X) (In addition to salty liquorice, but no one likes that stuff but Finns... XD)

Um, my apologies, but my birthday package to you will have to be rather badly belated, since I have to try and pull together every scrap I can to make my trip this summer... ;_;

We can just agree to be horrendously late together. You know, in addition to flailing about and trying to adjust to being A YEAR OLDER ZOMG. XD

I can't send you the yummers right away, either; I'm pretty skint until my first big payday (10th of June). Why does sending stuff have to be so expensive? :L

I read somewhere, probably in a translation of some Nomura interview, that the silver-haired guys couldn't feel Jenova like the Sephiroth Clones could in the game, so they gathered the children with geostigma (= jenova cells), made them drink water infused with Kadaj's will and made them point out the location of the head.

Why the kids pointed to the meteor monument, Nomura only knows. *drops asleep*
