Sirea: the name of my future daughter

This is going to be long since I just made up my mind that I'm always going to be a Clerith...

I'm one of the Zerith and Cloti before that turned to CLERITH..

I first watched AC and I really noticed how hot Tifa is and how she really loves Cloud. But there's Aerith (whom I know died bc of my cousins who played it). I felt a strong connection b/w them that I hoping I did not notice (again bc of my strong Tifa obsession). I can't imagine that someone so great would be brokenhearted bc of a dead person. But then the "Sephiroth taking away those precious to him", "Bahamut hand reach" and "Calling" scenes I really can't deny how much Aerith meant to Cloud. (BTW these scenes are the most obvious ones I didn't include the others but there are lots).

Then I tried playing the original FFVII. The first thing I saw was Aerith, In video games, I always thought that whoever was in the FMV in the beginning is the main character. I was a tad disappointed. And I played through the "first meeting scene" and I thought it was cute. That was the beginning of my Clerith tale. To make this simple, at the end of FFVII I was torn b/w Clerith and Cloti.

By the time I heard that there is another game which is CC I was already leaning towards Clerith. But after completing the game, I loved Zack so much. I became a Zerith. Zack was such an amazing person that I want him to be happy with the one he loves (or maybe the one he cares for a lot, IDK).

Anyways I pushed myself to like Cloti more bc of this. But something really isn't right. So I played FFVII again and in the first disk I was responding in a Cloti way during the conversations. I was bothered by those during Disk 2 bc even after death Cloud has never forgotten Aerith (remember the I-don't-remember-I-don't-forget thingy) I thought that was a really sweet stuff coming from a cold emo person.

My confusion got worse bc I love Zack so much. I really don't want to be a Clerith but the original game, AC and novellas are like a shout that Cloud and Aerith love each other. I thought I can't do anything anymore but accept that it's Clerith and after playing it in sequence (except DOC) and I noticed how much of a blind I was that I didn't see how great Clerith's love story is.

Confusing, right? That's how confused I was before , I had like 8-10 pages of Clerith vs Cloti essay.


BTW there are lots of interesting old threads, will it be okay to still reply to those.

I just wanna add that I thought Cloud has to move on. Now that thought just made me laugh bc it was me admitting that Cloud really love Aeris. And Cloud HAS TO move on but he didn't.

Ok so first of all, allow me to give you a site to read through(for the clerith perspective)

http://clerith.heliohost.org/

Second of all, you are clearly torn, and that's ok. It's a love triangle.(actually it's a love square because of Zerith)

But shipping isn't about what's official or canon, in this case, the only thing that is canon is that Zerith WAS an official couple in crisis core.

It's also ok to be a multishipper if you really want to be one.(I know several on tumblr especially)

However I must say(I'm not trying to debate but here's my input) People don't always move on. Laguna didn't move on from Raine in Final Fantasy VIII. Yuna didn't move on from Tidus after the events of Final Fantasy X, two years later she was still looking for him. Final Fantasy games have done things like this quite a bit actually.

Also here's my parallels essay if you're interested(what Clerith has in common with other Final Fantasy couples): http://aerithbunny.tumblr.com/post/65811285808/parallels-between-clerith-and-other-ff-romances (and yes that is my tumblr too) So if you read through my essay, it points out just how many times people in Final Fantasy couples have not moved on after death.

Anyway, welcome, maybe read up on those sources I gave? And it's ok to be conflicted, there's a lot in the ltd as a whole, this is just where the cleriths are, our perspective is, a safe haven for us to ship Clerith. And I can see you ship clerith, it's where your heart is, your mind is just trying to understand everything in this ltd.(and it's a lot so that's ok)

Thanks aerithbunny.. I'll read those..

My being torn, I guess, is just my love for Zack and Tifa and I want them to be happy. But I know who really belonged together.
