Tseng Fan Club

I LOVE that first one.

Edited because I finally found the picture I was looking for. It's by cacodaemonia at deviantart. I love it for the thought that's gone into the details. Look at what they're doing with their various hands, and look at what's under their chairs.
I love lineart!

Yays you found it! Wow.....Is are those cigs that Elenas making a grab for Rude's or Tseng's? Hmm.... I'm going with Rude, and not just because I don't approve of Tseng smoking, but because he's the kind of guy that you could nick ciggies off and he wouldn't bat an eyelid.....unless you were Reno.

Ah, and Elena has a cocktail umbrella ('thats what makes it a scotch on the rocks!') and shes been shopping, no doubt some expensive lingerie made of gossamer or something.....all on the expense account of course!

It's not only Tseng, but I'm putting it here anyway.

Edit: This one too

These are excellent. I think Elena needs to eat a few burgers in that first one though

 

[ForceStealer]

Both of those are great. Much approved. Why is Rufus such a badass?

Because Tseng trained him.

Am I the only one who thinks that Tseng is reaching for Elena's knee

FUUUUUUUUU I only just noticed! CANON!

 

[ForceStealer]

I think it already was

On Elena's side, of course, but the only time she tried to approach the subject and drop a more direct confession that she liked him, he ignored her on purpose (I'm sure he wasn't meant to be rude, only that he had other more urgent matters to attend). So this picture might be from after that moment, when Tseng just said: "WTH? C'm'here blondie."

This brings about a thought in my brain: If they do a remake how are they going to approach the Temples of the Ancients scene?

Elena: Be careful, Tseng.

Tseng: Yeah... Hey Elena, how 'bout dinner after this job's over?

Elena: Th... Thank you very much. If I may be excused...

He just seems so casual there, but after seeing him in Crisis Core and BC I don't see how he could be? Also theres the 'stay outta this' he says in the bar in Junon....just does'nt fit with his character. Translation issues again?

 

[ForceStealer]

I thought he was askin' her on a date....and I'm not a shipper. lol And even Rude says "but she...Tseng."

 

[Vivi]

I always thought that it would be a terrible idea for Turks to date each other. Conflict of interest and whatnot.

...but that line art is very nice.

 

[ForceStealer]

Because the Turks' seem so by-the-book

I always took that as the same way Zack asks Cissnei and Cloud out for dinner. Elena was being really nice to him just then, I think maybe he kind of realised he should be nicer to her, and asked her to dinner. The way he shakes his head afterwards, makes me think he semi-regretted it, though she's not as overly enthusiastic as someone who just got asked out by their crush should be.

I know, what I was getting at is the casual way he says it. I just can't imagine Tseng saying the 'bout instead of about. Unless of course in Crisis Core hes being more formal, but by FFVII he doesn't give a shit because hes the boss.

I think she was stunned, plus she doesn't know if Tseng knows she likes him, maybe she thinks its some sort of professional thing? Imagine if she turned up dressed to the nines only to find Tseng, Reno and Rude at some noodle bar?

Tseng: "Hey Elena, how 'bout dinner after this job's over?"

(She nods)

Elena
"Th... Thank you very much."
"If I may be excused..." < to go and change her underwear no doubt!


I think he shakes his head because of her reaction, like he's thinking 'are we even going to be able to have a sensible conversation if shes going to be that nervous'

This is all speculation of course. Personally I think Tseng must have overheard Reno talking about Rudes revelation that Elena liked him, and that's what prompted him to ask her out. I imagine Elena could have easily let it slip somehow....Rude is so taciturn its easy to forget he's there, and he probably sees a lot more than he lets on.


EDIT: Fan art.....fuuuuuuuuuu. I think my favourite is the line drawing with the Kimono.....Hes not going to get much fighting done dressed like that, not if he wants to preserve his modesty. I also want to know why Reno is blushing in the hotspring.

The 5th one down is part 2 of the Pizza saga,

Tseng: We ordered an hour ago, you said if takes longer than 30 minutes we get it free. DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU'RE DEALING WITH?!

Also: I hate Scarlett.

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

The ongoing pizza story makes me giggle.
Maybe you could write some more?
I like a lot of Ka-bu-ki's art - my icon over at ff.net is by her. But I really don't like the first one at all. I don't know who that is, but I know it's not Tseng. The strategically placed flowers in the second one are annoying. I always like pictures which have all of them walking more or less menacingly through the streets. I think my favourites are numbers 5, 7 and 8.

Octorawk, what does you icon mean? I've been wondering for months now.

I will endeavor to do so, but I need the fanarts to inspire me!

I was going to say the same thing, not that its not well done, but its not him. It lacks Tsengness (Unit of measurement =Tsg < this is my idea don't steal it )

Fuckin' plantlife....getting in the way!

Walking menacingly through the streets......to the Sector 5 Midgar Pizza Co?

I don't even know. I got it from http://www.trashbat.co.ck/ which is a fake website which promoted Channel 4's Nathan Barley (which was written by Chris Morris and Charlie Brooker, I'm fans of both of them) Anyway....the image in question was the cover of a magazine: Sugar Ape and I just thought it was a funny image, but I can't put my finger on why. It defies explanation. It spoke to me on a primordial level I guess

I bet you're sorry you asked now

Double post but I don't care. Here's an odd conversation I had with the other half today. We were talking about looks. I said the yardstick I use is: 'would I be weirded out or not if this person started talking to me in a bar?'

Him: What if I started talking to you in a bar?
Me: Well what would you say?
Him: 'Would you like to go for a walk outside?'
Me: What? That's just plain weird, I wouldn't even go for a 'walk outside' with Johnny Depp if he asked just like that.
Him: Why'd you say Johnny Depp?
Me: I dunno, cos everybody likes Johnny Depp so he's a good example. I don't really like him though but If I said who I'm really thinking of you'd think I was weird..
Him: You mean that Final Fantasy character?
Me: *pretend shock* .....uh...yes
Him: The one with the suit and the long hair who never smiles?
Me: And a 'bindi' you forgot the 'bindi'! (I know its technically a 'tilak' but that was to complicated to explain)
Him: but he never smiles so he must be a twat
Me: Of course he never smiles! it wouldn't be helpful in his line of work..and he has smiled...kinda...once or twice...and hes not a twat! Thats not why I like him! He's a relatively minor character but hes sooooo interesting! Anyway it is totally fine and beneficial because it means all my fantasies are contained, he doesn't exist, nobody could live up to that standard, so anyone trying to chat me up in a bar would be doomed to failure. Thus I will never cheat!
Him: Ok then

Well anyway, he's still going to marry me because after 10 years together he already knows all my faults. I went on to explain about certain other fangirls of certain other characters who take things to certain extremes (we know who they are) just to set things in context. He knows I'm weird, he's always known. But at least I'm not totally batshit tripping balls crazy!

Fanart time!

Sorry it's so small, but the tumblr I found it on didn't credit it.

Who is on the other end of that string......Rufus? Does he make Tseng pretend to be a kitten and play with string when hes bored? Hmmmmm

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

The jumper Aerith knitted him for Christmas snagged on Rufus' cufflink and just wouldn't stop unravelling.

I don't know whats wrong with me....this is clearly auto erotic asphyxiation! I knew he was a kinky bastard!

Can you do that with cotton thread? I thought you'd need something a bit more... resilient.

 

[Octo]

Well, I guess in the heat of the moment you just use whatever you have to hand. I think this explains why he looks slightly disappointed there.
