Can we edit the Clerith club a bit?

[Dashell]

Maybe change the name to Soldier and Cetra, or "Roses without Thorns" or something?

And the description can be:

-- is a club dedicating to celebrating Cloud and Aerith as a romantic couple. Though her life was cut short she and Cloud grew close during the time they knew each other, and our members believe that romantic love could have - or perhaps did - bloom between them. What might have become of their relationship had she survived? Sadly we'll never know, but we can still share fanfiction, fanart and opinions about the two. Whether you believe they truly are the canon pairing, or simply like the idea, feel free to join and contribute

Drake came up with that


and if we can't change the old one can we make a new one?

Just to chime in, Quex asked me to edit the club but I was uncomfortable with editing someone else's club without their permission, and since Channy basically disappeared I have no way to get her permission. I honestly doubt she'd care, since she hasn't appeared to give a shit about anything TLS related since she left, but it's the principle of the thing. If the member base as a whole thinks editing the existing club is fine then I won't have a problem with it, but I'm hesitant to do so without further input. I actually do think closing the existing club and starting a new one might be the best course of action though.

 

[Dashell]

That's fine too, we can open a new one
Does it matter who does it?

 

[Tifabelle]

make a new one

But I have to agree with Tiff that using the term SOLDIER would make me think of Zack. You want it to be unique to Cloud & Aerith. I liked the idea of "Devotion" since that goes with Faith & Hope quite nicely. And is adorable.

 

[DrakeClawfang]

Yeah but "Devotion" would step on toes methinks.

What about "Mako Blossoms"?

 

[Tifabelle]

Yeah but "Devotion" would step on toes methinks.

oh? >.>

I still like it

 

[Ⓐaron]

Clerith clubs named "Devotion" have a long history that is not likely to be considered particularly pleasant by the segment of TLS's member base that gives a shit about the LTD. Probably not a good name for our club.

 

[DrakeClawfang]

I got it!

"Spirit"

EDIT - And for a lame joke that came to mind, google "Faith hope trick".

 

[Celes Chere]

Uhhh there has to be another name that goes with Faith and Hope. Maybe Destiny or something like that. Also started a whole new club just 'cause of this seems laaame. But I guess if it's got a bad opinion on the current there's nothing left to do.
Even though nothing bad has ever happened in that thread. :I

 

[Tifabelle]

I think we should come up with a couple names, then make a voting thread.

I would still vote for Devotion I don't care if something bad happened in the past. This is something positive.

 

[Celes Chere]

YOU might not care, but other people might get really pissed off about it. I mean they hate TLS as much as it is and if they think we're mocking their Club it might be a bad thing.

Theeen again we really shouldn't give a fuck. I know some people here were a part of Devotion, does anyone mind if we actually use the name? Also I have Channy on FB I could just message her and ask if we can edit the club.

Um, if you're talking about who I think you're talking about, I really doubt most people will mind--? Then again, I say these kinds of things and my statements end up biting me hard, so, I say that with the caveat of I'm not 100% sure. : D

I like the name Devotion, I think it's cute.

 

[Tifabelle]

I'm just gonna throw some "IMO" in:

TLS shouldn't have to be run based on other forums opinions. I don't think we should have to walk on eggshells for everything. If the members here like the name, then that's all that matters. And people that hate TLS are probably going to hate it no matter what, so why cater to them? And besides, even if Devotion has a negative history or w/e, how about we take that negative and make it a positive. The whole point of this exercise is to re-create the club so it's better.

 

[Dashell]

I say we use Devotion as well. I think it goes well with the other two and I honestly don't see people getting upset about it.

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

I have no vested interest in what this club is called, but F.Y.I.The 'Faith, Hope" thing is from the Bible (actually one of St Paul's letters, I think). The full quote (loosely modernised) is "Faith, hope, and love: these three things shall last forever; but the greatest of these is love". Seems quite fitting in a number of ways!

 

[Dashell]

I did not know that... of course "love" for a couple fanclub seems a little lame. Not that anyone would call it that.

 

[Madame Mayor]

I always thought the current name was cute.

 

[Ryushikaze]

IMO, the 'Traditional' Club names were all misapplied anyways. C/A is based on two weeks of face time and the idea that love can happen across the quick/dead divide. That's Faith. Not devotion. No devotion is shown.

C/T, meanwhile, fits the idea of Devotion much better, since both folks have stuck by each other through everything, even during Cloud's twittiest moments, and they were hung up on each other for the better part of a decade seeking no romance from others.

Rename the club. Just name it something that makes sense.

you know not everything revolves around cloti ryu

LOLz, you missed the new LTD rules didn't you?

I see nothing wrong if the members who are ACTUALLY ACTIVE want to change the name of their club, btw.

 

[Elisa Maza]

My two cents: When I wanted to name the TifaxLightning club, my way of thinking was to combine two elements that applied to the two characters only. In other words, I wanted something that referred to them especially.

This FC is in an even better position, since I had to take individual words and combine them, because there is no canon relationship between these characters (it's a crack!ship!). Cloud and Aerith, however did interact in a single game.

My suggestion: take something from the game that is only between these two. Like... um... The bodyguard and the Ancient (Laaaaaaaame, don't take it!)? Something else? Wrack your brains, you do have options!

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

Call it 'Blameless'.

 

[Ryushikaze]

Never said it did, sunshine. I said the 'traditional' club names didn't fit the pairings, and that if you change the name, make it make sense.

Granted, I made a typo in writing that post which I'll now go back and change, but egads, try reading for comprehension. "Two weeks of facetime" and "across the quick/ dead divide" ought to be dead giveaways as to what was meant.

 

[Elisa Maza]

@ Licorice: Oh, nice one.


By the by...

I DON'T like the CloTi and Zerith FC names either. When I first joined, I looked for the FCs and couldn't find them because of these names. I find it wrong and unfair for the newcomer to have to be familiar with the LTD in order to find the FCs. >( It reeks of bitter history to me.

Spoiler

"A promise under the stars" and "SOLDIER and Ancient" would be much better.

You may be onto something with the whole bodyguard theme. *strokes beard*

"A promise under the stars" and "SOLDIER and Ancient" would be much better.

meh. I don't have a problem changing those names either. Actually I quite like A Promise Under the Stars, or something to that effect :3
