The General Turks Worship Thread

[LicoriceAllsorts]

I think they got Tseng and Rude pretty damn perfect in AC, and Rufus, too, except that his hair should have been more ginger, but I agree with Pug that Elena was much too fragile looking (and she wouldn't have said "Hey gaiz!!!" she'd have said, "You fuckwits just crashed another chopper. Admit you're totally useless without me, and I might throw this ladder down to you.") Reno is way too pretty and too young. I always imagine him as unkempt and, like Octo said, weatherbeaten by life, but still sleazy sexy in the way that, say, Robert Downey Jr is sexy and just keeps getting sexier, despite all the hard fast living.

I need to get off this forum; I have things to do!

 

[Unlucky]

Yeah you're right, I just browsed FFWiki for a picture of him in the OG, he's not dreamy but he's certainly not ugly

There's also this info about him being Tseng's second in command, is this true?

Which reminds me, I haven't read Case of Shinra yet (and I MUST because I'm an official Turk fan girl now ), it might help me get to know them better so I can contribute to this collaboration we're planning

Oh gaiz what have you done to me

I don't think theres anything official saying so anywhere, though I think Reno and Rude are meant to be the next longest serving Turks after Tseng. Can't always rely on those wiki things, there was a time line that had Reno's birthdate on it which was basically made up! It was almost a carbon copy of the TLS time line but with added bits of BS

Yeah I also have doubts about this info that's why I asked.. I just can't imagine Reno being Rude's superior These two are like... cookies and milk and should come together and not be like.. on top of each other lol

Dafuq am I saying

ONE OF US!

Your fan club just won one more perverted creative mind

 

[Fangu]

FINALLY! MY SOFA!!

I just have to agree with everything that has been said in this thread over the last two pages. ALL THE THINGS. Except to snort on the fact that you guys think that I can actually draw proper hentai. YA RIGHT I'm still having problems with proposition, how the fuk would I be able to do proper composition?! I have much more faith in Octo when it comes to this!!

I could make a website for our wrongs Even register a domain. www.insaneturkcollaboration.com!

make it so! (provided it doesn't cost anything )

When I get some spare time (ie when Mr Octo is at work) I will 'research' hentai extensively and try to get my head around it. Oh the things I do for this club!

 

[Unlucky]

You're really serious about this hentai business ehh

BTW I already finished Case of Shinra. I didn't expect it to be that loooong but imo I think it contains the most vital info regarding the events prior to AC. It also cleared up some aspects of the characters that I wasn't aware of. Apparently Elena can be sociable and Rufus (imo) does have some love for his dad though he sees him mostly as a competition.

Also this:

It was evening. Elena and Tseng were walking back to Kalm. They were talking about the disease they came across in the Slums. It seems there were many people who had the same symptoms as the man that died in the bar.


“Did you learn anything about it while I was resting?”


“No. It’s the first time I’ve seen anything like it Mr. Tseng.”

Why would Tseng need to rest in the middle of a mission? ... Don't know if I'm just perverted/ overanalyzing or did you guys also think what I'm thinking

 

[Octo]

Sadly I think he means when he was out of action because of Sephiroth and his pesky sword. I might be wrong though!

 

[Unlucky]

I don't know

CoT had some subtle implications ('Do you love me?', 'Cloud's OFFICE') so I was thinking things might be the same here

And yeah Octo I'm hoping you are wrong

 

[Octo]

And yeah Octo I'm hoping you are wrong

I'm hoping I'm wrong too

Its just that he was kind of cold to her before that:

Finding empty seats, the two of them sat down and immediately began observing the crowd. Tseng's eyes were trained on a man wearing a black shirt who took up an entire table that should have had room for four. "He's sleeping, isn't he?"
"He could be—"
"Mr. Tseng?"
"What is it?"
"I decided to stay with the team partly because of my pride as a Turk but, the most important reason was because of—"
Elena had never tried to hide her own attraction towards her superior but when faced with the man right before her, even she couldn't put her feelings into words.
"Continue."
"Hmm?"
"It's unnatural for you to be silent. I don't care if you're just going to talk nonsense. Just talk."
"Nonsense...?" Elena said sighing slightly, looking up at Tseng's face. Tseng seemed to be concerned about the sleeping man ever since he entered the bar.

Now obviously Elena hadn't chosen the right moment to confess undying love there, so its kind of understandable that he would be so abrupt.

......but.....If we look through the shipper goggles... we could say that afterward he felt bad about it and gave her a good seeing to, which left him pretty sleepy for a bit

Yes of course! That explains it all! Its all so easy when you make up unseen scenes that never happened

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

I love how Elena always chooses the wrong moment! It's almost as if he isn't even listening to what she's saying, because he's so absorbed in the sick man across the room. Because even while he's calling her words "nonsense", he's also encouraging her to go on - like he wants to hear it, but he's putting her down, both at the same time. Talk about sending mixed messages! Is he wearing the Hawaiian shirt by this point? I can't remember.

 

[Unlucky]

Yes I think he is, and Elena is wearing a dress if I remember correctly I laughed when somebody threw something at them lol

I think Tseng saw it coming and purposely coaxed her to say it already because he knows she would get embarrassed and drop the subject. Power trip?

Anyway I was browsing YouTube and saw this comment about the Turks needing Tarantino to bring them to life... Looks like I'm not the only one who has the idea

 

[Octo]

Yeah, he is wearing the hawaiian shirt, which just makes it even more hilarious

 

[Unlucky]

Maybe Elena got so turned on by the shirt that she couldn't help but confess despite the awful timing

 

[Soakette]

Wow, you guys. All this great conversation going on.

I always loved reading that scene between Tseng and Elena. I always felt bad for her. It was the wrong moment but I was hoping the first time I read it that she would get it out. That's why I was also so excited for the new Turks story because I thought maybe this time something would happen. I just want to see some turk love going on. Is that to much to ask for

 

[Octo]

Lol, I almost forgot about the new novel!

I think I must be shallow because I can't imagine him in anything else but suits, shirts (not hawaiian) and trousers....sometimes

Joking aside I just don't think he'd ever feel comfortable in anything overly casual (excluding undercover missions) it's like the suit becomes part of who they are. I reckon he's got a variety of different suits but they're all dark blues/black/greys

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

Tseng always looks good in a suit.

Though maybe not this one:

Spoiler: Tseng or Rufus?

Not sure what's going on there. If he's cosplaying Rufus, he needs a wig. Rufus without his strawberry blond hair is like Reno without his red mullet or Aerith without her highrise bangs.

Spoiler: Good Times

Isn't there a part in the novella where Veld is present and it looked like they were ALMOST gonna get all touchy-feely-weepy about their 'friendship', but Veld cuts it off just in time. I think that just fits right with their characters-- and with that in mind I don't think we're gonna get some hint of mush from these guys BUT if SE is ever going to explore ElenaxTseng, I can't imagine it being all sweet and gentle instead of hardcore (because it suits them better )

I find it a little ridiculous that Rufus is blond when his name literally means 'red-haired'. Also in the OG, he doesn't have red hair like Reno's but it definitely wasn't blond like Cloud's.

My muse finally spoke to me. (Yay!) But she whispered stuff Soak hates Sorry bby :3

I hope I get a few hours of peace tonight. I love people, but by God, sometimes I need them to just leave me alone.

Waitamintit what? Velds in the new novel? Ooo I better go back and check that thread.

Now...when you say hardcore.....

I'm going to say that guy in the pic was cosplaying as Rufus and couldn't be bothered dying his hair or getting a suitable wig. He definitely has the right attitude though!

I'm all out of smutty remarks for the Reno pic, alls I can say is its a very photoshop explotable hand postitioning

 

[Fangu]

Good morning Turks thread <3

Yeah I don't really have much to say atm... except that I shamefully have to admit I've only read half of Case of Shinra, and I really need to read it again. Also, I've done all I can when it comes to bugging hito into translating more of the new novel. If I do any more bugging it will look like I'm either stalking him or trying to buy him

Actually, I think he might be for sale, or at least for hire. Maybe we should club together.

Oops I was taking about Case of Shinra in that post.. sorry

But now that you mentioned it, I remembered only skimming through the summary of the new novel. I'm going to read all of it when I have the time but from what I've read so far, it seems that the story is mostly centered on Evan and NOT on the Turks Whhhyy is that when it's called 'The Turks Lateral Biography' FFS

Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough but I'm quite disappointed that there are only few Rufus cosplayers despite him one of the characters who look 'normal' and therefore easy to cosplay..

Spoiler: Found these

^ Reno should be the one doing the groping

I remember talking with some people about this on #tls and one thing that came up is that I'm not sure it's legal for someone to make money off translating someone else's property. If there is a workaround I'm in for sure. The thing is, if I was to pay for anything I'd want to make sure the goods are delivered, and then there'd have to be some written agreement for the process. Or something. And that might be crossing a legal zone regarding SE. If somebody can figure that stuff out, I'll be most happy to chip in.
