LTD, round 3: This time, we settle it with Jello Wrestling

*sigh* I really don't know how much more straightforward it can get than that scan. What's ambiguous or "up to interpretation" about it? Why are people still arguing it?

Because *some* people can't accept Clerith as canon and have to keep posting fake translations and photoshopped Ultimania scans.

 

[Gym Leader Devil]

Because they don't want to admit they were wrong.

We're looking at this rationally. They're approaching it with something more akin to religiosity.

Clerith is fast approaching the day when the very last of their kind, those poor uber-deluded few who still hang onto their faith in Materia Jesus, spike their pink kool-aid with cyanide and get it over with.

 

[Celes Chere]

It's all because Aerith's date scene is on the page, is my understanding. "Why not put Tifa's date scene there? Why use a scene, where there are different options (Highwind Scene)".

FFS, read what it says UNDER EACH PICTURE.

 

[Gym Leader Devil]

It's just basic shipper mentality. You want two characters to end up together, so you see connections where there are none. I wanted Aerith and Tseng to love each other, so I saw a connection. I'll probably always think of it this way, even though I'd never dare debate it as canon.

I submit the underlined portion of your post as proofz that, insane as some people might think your ship is, you yourself are still more sane than many Cleriths. Good show.

 

[Dashell]

At this point, Im pretty sure they'd even dismiss a kiss or a wedding. Honestly it's not even amusing at this point anymore.

 

[Madame Mayor]

Oh no, you misunderstand. I'm quite insane when it comes to my ships, I just know I'll get eaten alive in any canon threads the way I have no mercy for the clerii who come into the FFVII ones.

They've said Cloud could have sex with Tifa and it wouldn't mean he picked her, so...

The Clerith ship was a popular and active one for a long time. Just speculating here, but could it be they used her picture as a nod to those fans? To acknowledge the popularity?

Or conversely, maybe the picture of her there is to speak to Clerith fans directly and hit them over the head, as in, "we know you got this girl and you think Cloud loves her forever and ever and totally missed the point of the Lifestream scene, so we're telling you now that this date was a game and meaningless?"

Truth be told, there aren't nearly as many Cleriths as there used to be. And half of those that remain are the same person.

If this was their intent, they failed miserably.

*Clerith impersonation* Damn creators, contradicting yourselves! We all know you really meant the Highwind Scene was meaningless, while Aerith's date is the real proofz.

i c wut u did thar.

 

[Dashell]

I just can't believe WHAT the text says is thrown right out the window. Or that the official timeline is wrong now... I mean what... what the hell? It's just... it's just... ugh

 

[Isabella]

Official timeline < commercials and coke cans

 

[DrakeClawfang]

I got a love triangle to discuss - Stewart - Conan - Colbert.

Readyyyyyyy, GO!

 

[OneWingedDemon]

I'd seen this before, but I hadn't seen "angel of the slum" comment before.

[NoenGaruth]

^ Quite clearly that is not a love triangle because everyone is in love with Colbert

 

[Ryushikaze]

Never?

So, what prompts reminding us of the "angel of the slums" line, Oddwad?

 

[Dashell]

NO Aerith is the angel, Tifa is the whore

 

[Ryushikaze]

The real love triangle is Colbert <-> Colbert <-> Colbert.

The real love triangle is Colbert <-> Colbert <-> Colbert.

That's the real OTP - ColbertxColbert

 

[Shadowfox]

No, Aerith is the flower. And the ribbon. And lens flare, rain, monkey, twinkle in Cloud's eye...

 

[Gym Leader Devil]

No, Aerith is the flower. And the ribbon. And lens flare, rain, monkey, twinkle in Cloud's eye...

Also the spiritual parasite, the Materia Jesus, the goddess of the Planet...

 

[Vendel]

I would almost feel sorry for our front page spammers. They obviously haven't played the game. Or conveniently forgot some things. I had both of them call me a liar for saying Cloud beat the shit out of Aerith. (In the context of the illusion of player control in the game.)

And not just to point out my 'mistake'. No they had to take great joy in it. Like I said "almost" sad. If they weren't such blatant liars and fucktards that is.

Ahhhh fucktard, I always loved that word. But seriously, Cloud laid a pretty good smackdown on the little flower-chick after Temple of the Ancients. Anyone who says otherwise is indeed a lying fuckwit, or just doesn't know what the hell they're talking about. If they really believe that never happened despite playing the game, they are living with a delusional AU on their hands.

Of course, who am I to talk? In my delusional alternate timeline for FFVII (everyone has one of those right? RIGHT?!) Cloud was killed by a Tonberry shortly after Aerith died, and Tifa fell into the arms of Yuffie to console herself.

Oh girl you did not just go there. *finger snap*

 

[Winter]

nah, this pairing still has a pretty large following, I'd say.

It's just dispersed itself out among various places. besides, not everyone who likes Clerith is crazy and aggressively wants it to be canon.

it's still my OTP, man.
