I think a lot of Tifa's love for Cloud developed not necessarily because of him personally but because he was someone from her childhood that she'd known for so many years. It seems a lot of the cast of FFVII is no longer close to anyone from their childhood (maybe because so many of them die? idek). But there's a special emphasis on how long Aerith has known Tseng, and there's even a little emphasis on Tifa and Johnny's friendship.
I think Tifa really began to love Cloud when she saw him at the train station, because someone she'd made a promise with in her childhood actually reappeared in her life. In a world as unstable as the one they live in that 's a really big deal.
also happy halloween guys lolol
I worked all day today and just got off now
oh well, I bought a bag of candy for me and my girlfriend
ALSO AKI I THINK YOUR JOKES ARE HILARIOUS
oh also I wouldn't think Aerith would be skittish about sex forever, I mean again, she brought home some random soldier dude and let him stay the night and her mom didn't even say anything.
