okay but percy calling the minotaur 'ground beef' is so diabolical. because imagine being the well-known. undefeatable. half-bull half-man. seven foot tall monster. prancing around in your fanciest fruit of the loom tighty whities. and this twelve year old. with no objective experience in swordfighting. whose mom you just violently squished to death. calls you a feast for carnivores. the important part of a taco. the beef of the wellington. i would have gave up.
Every time we joke about Sephiroth not knowing crass slang, I’m like “Hahaha yes this is joke” but then I remember that this kid….
LITERALLY DIDN’T KNOW THAT WHISTLING TO ROUND PEOPLE UP WAS A RUDE GESTURE FDGBHJS
I shouldn’t laugh because it’s horrible and clearly Hojo didn’t teach him how to socialize normally, but it’s funny how the “not being familiar with crass slang” thing would probably have been pretty accurate actually. He’s apparently suuuper polite speech-wise in the Japanese translation as a kid, but not as formal in CC, so hopefully Gen and Angeal taught him slang and whatever else.
Kabru is always my favorite tho bc I fucking love characters who are both ruthless and genuinely kind. Who have noble goals and strong ideals and will make compromises in order to reach them, especially when they aren't punished for it by the narrative. Kabru will straight up commit vigilante murder because he's done the math and judged it to be the action with the most harm reduction, and he's good at math.
Kabru is the only person in the series both on-scene and thinking about the larger implications of the actions being taken, and I love him for it.
Okay but why did my brain just think of bunny seeing ghost in his skull mask for the first time and the genuine fear and panic in her eyes only increasing when she hears his voice :(((
Bunny when she realizes she's got two war criminals now instead of just one.
No clue about you guys but headcanoning Zane as like 6'7" is really fuckin' fun cuz like imagine Dr. Julien designing him and going "Ykw I'm gonna make my son the tallest mf anyone's ever seen." And actually going through with it.
