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

[Edley]

One other point: The flowers lying in front of the picture are fresh. If they were picked the day before the photo was taken, then the photo had to be printed and framed, then they sure are hardy flowers to still look so good.

Spirit Flowers.

Guh. Tres translated something that specified the rest of the crew didn't return until morning. Not that we should require a translation. I thought it was common knowledge they were gone all night. This shouldn't even need to be discussed.

I normally don't quote posts from there but (about the highwind scene):



Let's give her hand

At least she realizes Tifa can be embarrassed without people seeing things, but why should Tifa think everyone else thinks they had sex? It's just aparsimonious.

And yes, it shouldn't need to be discussed whether anyone saw anything, because they didn't, but you don't have to SEE anything to come to the obvious conclusion, like everyone in the party did.

 

[Dashell]

Here's what I don't get. Supposedly Cid and Barret teasing CxT about having sex is unacceptable and WTF is wrong with those CLotis? But it's okay for them to tease Tifa about being dumped and crying?... uh what?

 

[Edley]

Oh you didn't know? Cid and Barret are card carrying pinkers. While Tifa saw Barret's betrayal as especially hurtful, even he couldn't deny the light of spirit love.

Reno and Rude say it best...

Quexinos, you're trying to understand the logic, when there is only one thing to understand- EVERYTHING IS SECOND TO PROVING THEIR SHIP.
Is it Clerith? Then it's good. If it's not, it's bad.
It's religious fundamentalism but shipping instead.

 

[Vendel]

Aerith died for your sins.

Can we keep the religious jabs to a minimum, please?

Oh oh oh!!! *raises hand*

It's because they did, right?

Honestly, how would one think Tifa came to the conclusion that they all think her and Cloud did something if nothing actually happened. Why would she be so embarrassed? Couldn't she have just flat out said something like, "No, that's NOT what happened!"

But instead she runs off and collapses out of shame. Why do this when all it is is an assumption and not truth?

 

[Vendel]

Clerith threads amuse me. "Is Cloud Meeting Aerith In The Field Romantic?"

While most people would be "Is Cloud meeting Aerith in flower fields?" The answer would be NO of course.

But like many things Clerith they just assume them to be true.

I have to say it's romantic just because of the intimacy of it all. It's setting alone is really romantic--a field full of beautiful flowers, no one around for miles, nothing but the deep sky above them, only each other to be with--how much more romantic could it get?
.................
Yeah, I think the main thing that makes it romantic is the idea that they're basically transcending death to be with each other. That and the fact that it's just the two of them. Cloud didn't say "Hey everybody, let's go on a picnic to hang out with Aerith." Instead, he just wanted to be with her by himself. It's like a date between the two of them, instead of a group party. (Plus, nobody else could see her, but you get what I mean)
.................
Even if it wasn't a flower field, if it's a place where the two can call "Our place", then it's romantic. That's what I think. Something like how in FFIX whenever Garnet sings Zidane keeps saying it's "their song". If you can share something special and intimate with someone you love, then it's romantic.
..................
Well, let's see. Squall and Rinoa seem to like flowerfields, and Rinoa's not even a floral entrepeneur.

And they promise to meet in one.

So, if Aerith, who has a much stronger association of flowers meets with Cloud in a flowerfield...she's probably not asking how Barret's oil expidition went.

And he's probably not telling her about the last delivery he made.

So of course it's romantic. That is where Cloud and Aerith meet for spirit fucking.

Wait.... I thought she was already inside him? Why do they need to meet in flower fields? NOTHING MAKES SENSE ANYMORE!!!!

 

[Isabella]

Shouldn't they be meeting in their promised land, the church? Or is Cloud's promised land just wherever Aerith happens to be? And if Aerith is inside him, isn't Cloud his own promised land? And if Cloud is is own promised land, shouldn't he always be happy, since he's always there?

Or, maybe, what you see is what you get and Cloud was driving home through a field of flowers, which he had originally driven through to go to Barret's place as shown in Reminiscence. But no, I suppose that would be too easy and doesn't leave much room for over-over-overanalyzing.

[Alessa Gillespie]

Clerith seems to work at times on circular knowledge. Is Cloud going to the flower fields romantic? Yes, because he loves Aerith. How do we know he loves Aerith? Because he went to the flower fields.

They're right. SE took the trouble of showing us that Cloud drives into the flower fields (aka Barret's place) to meet with the big man. They even had most of AVALANCHE set up the romantic meeting for them because everyone knows they're meant to be. Why else would SE do this except to tell the audience that Cloud x Barret is so obviously, canonly romantic?

 

[Dashell]

Oh oh oh!!! *raises hand*

It's because they did, right?

No because she gets it. She understands that the group did NOT stay behind and WATCH THEM. I quoted it because I'm glad he gets that.

 

[DrakeClawfang]

Aerith died for your sins.

Damn straight. The flower girl in pink died for our sins...if we don't sin, she died for *nothing*!

 

[Tennyo]

No because she gets it. She understands that the group did NOT stay behind and WATCH THEM. I quoted it because I'm glad he gets that.

Noooo I meant because CLOUD AND TIFA really did, you know.

Not that everyone else stayed behind to watch. They clearly did not, but they made great educated guesses.

 

[Dashell]

yeah i know but... I'm just saying the reason I quoted it was because I'm glad she understands that the group didn't watch.

 

[Ryushikaze]

Can we keep the religious jabs to a minimum, please?

It's not a jab, that's a commonly occurring fundamentalist mindset. Hell, it's almost THE mindset.

Honestly, how would one think Tifa came to the conclusion that they all think her and Cloud did something if nothing actually happened. Why would she be so embarrassed? Couldn't she have just flat out said something like, "No, that's NOT what happened!"

But instead she runs off and collapses out of shame. Why do this when all it is is an assumption and not truth?

Because the Gospel of Clerith must be true, no matter how badly the rest of the story suffers.

Welcome to Fundamentalist Clerithism.

Damn straight. The flower girl in pink died for our sins...if we don't sin, she died for *nothing*!

Right, so which sexy lady wants to start sinning with me, then?

I know what's gonna happen, I'll reply and you'll respond with "I said sexy"

 

[Fairheartstrife]

I don't know about sexy, but I'm always up for some good sinning....

And Que, you be sexy. **wink**

 

[Lord Noctis]

I've never sinned before, but I want to.

 

[Alessa Gillespie]

 

[Strangelove]

Oh God it's like being propositioned by a mine all over again.

 

[DrakeClawfang]

If they have to be sexy, finding such a lady may take a while.

 

[Lord Noctis]
