miniroth gets socialized

unfortunately, by the time he warms up to angeal - this redheaded asshole comes along. Not only does sephiroth hate sharing but this new guy just wont shut his goddam mouth.

If you're a writer you're supposed to write a lot of bullshit. It's part of the gig. You have to write a lot of absolute garbage in order to get to the good bits. Every once in a while you'll be like "Oh, I wish I hadn't wasted all that time writing bullshit," but that's dumb. That's exactly the same as an Olympic runner being like "Oh, I wish I hadn't wasted all that time running all those practice laps"

One thing I really enjoy about Sephiroth fans is how everyone consistently references the fact that Sephiroth "dies" in Nibelheim, but it's always spoken wistfully. Like a young man who dies far before his time.

And yeah, stating the obvious that on a physical level, he's dead. But that's not really what we're talking about. Talking to other Sephiroth fans, they view this not so much as a physical death as it is the death of...well...Sephiroth the man. Sephiroth the human. The reality is that with the exception of Genesis, ALL the Firsts die young, Sephiroth included. They are destroyed by the very vulnerabilities that ruled their souls in life.

For Angeal, it was his pride as a soldier, his responsibility as a provider, both as a son and as a friend.

For Zack, it was his blind loyalty and devotion to others, to the point where he was willing to sacrifice his own life in the name of love for his friend.

For Sephiroth, it's the death of the human soul itself, the critical coming of age into adulthood. He loses his life in that he regresses. He returns to metaphorical infancy and returns to Jenova. He is no longer the same man we knew before, no longer the same person who loved his friends, cared for his men, and sought to protect others through compassion. He's a hollow shell. Sephiroth doesn't just die physically. He is severed, both body AND soul. He is damned. He is fundamentally transformed beyond recognition. He has become the very thing he never wanted to be--a monster.

Idk I still don't think a Sephiroth redemption arc is ever happening. Simply because Sephiroth's story as a character is kind of already over after Nibelheim. He's already gone through his character climax and is changed by the time he reaches his resolution. I don't think there's any fixing that. It's no longer the same person anymore.

Sephiroth is dead.

And Sephiroth is dead.
