also i think the craziest line of poetry in that essay i sent you yesterday is “i am your daughter, lady / and pregnant with you” like blew my fucking mind apart. the convergence of timelines and selves. the fucking two-pronged fidget spinner of the divine. also sorry for blowing up your notifs lmao

liiike we are peers so i am you and you are me and i am your mother as much as you are mine because we are made of the same stuff with the same weaknesses and the same ache for unity and understanding and protection so to try to differentiate us at this point is ridiculous

i loved that one vice article where the author said she wished she had a jenova who could have revealed to her the truth of her identity with that same sort of clarity and all-encompassing acceptance and oneness like the drag mother comparison was so cute but also Real

who has immense will and a deep reserve of anger and loneliness and otherness and then grafts human morality and intimacy onto that imperative to consume until it turns vengeful, protective, like a womb encasing her mind. suddenly there’s this sense of agency that wasn’t there before

like if sephiroth’s personal hang ups were different then jenova would have appeared as and appealed to different things within her yknow. in that sense jenova is totally amoral and lacks true consciousness but it gets complicated when you merge something like that with someone like sephiroth +

yesss i think jenova is like a virus or spore w an instinct to eat and any psychological manipulation aspects of it are more like unthinking means towards that goal similar to chemical release from mold spores or a virus’ ability to hijack cell replication etc. you see whatever you want to see

half the time i think them fucking is a stand-in for true reunion which cloud doesn’t gaf and it’s mostly fulfillment of the aforementioned psychosexual nightmare but it has almost nothing to do w sex for seph like this is cosmic intimacy bs. she read how everything is sex except sex which is power

in sefikura terms it’s like seph is only sexual as a reflection of cloud’s ongoing decade-long sephiroth-focused psychosexual nightmare… like the seductive force of your own pain & self hatred + you had pictures of her taped to your wall. running from am i gay or an egg demons & seph’s like aww lol

same and like i’m half goon and half interested in the way the sexual dynamic reflects character so my shit ends up sounding too visceral and analytical sometimes #whatever

ofc!!! my aunt gave me a ton of his books when i was little (i was one of those creepy children who asks you if you can see shadow people and shit so she figured i could handle it) and he oscillates wildly between the corniest thing you’ve ever read and seemingly accidentally profoundly insightful

also again re: your point about being detached and not wanting to be a part of it anyway i know i’m in my google docs writing smut like every day #whatever but i think she’s the same way about sex. like nebulously asexual but no one is ready to talk about that

LIKE!!!!! i can’t see her really following a binary… how are you meant to gaf when your prior social role was Tool… i cling to those dev notes about her physically transitioning like a fucking vice like the femininity/androgyny is power and embodying fuckgender is otherworldly closer to godhood etc
