Vincent being the trial run for a lot of the experimentation Sephiroth went through isn't something I thought of until recently, but I can't stop thinking about it.
Glowing eyes may come from exposure to mako naturally, but is it the same with Sephiroth's slit pupils? Sure, it could be consistent exposure to a much much higher percentage of Jenova-infected mako, but what if it's not?
Is Hojo going to test that on his first try and risk ruining Sephiroth's eyes and requiring an eye transplant? No. He'll do it to Vincent first.
The SOLIDER program was in its infancy when Vincent was dragged onto the operation table. Who did they test it on to make sure it was safe(ish)? Do you think President Shinra would let Hojo ruin his possible SOLDIERS by not having tried it on something or someone else first? It wouldn't surprise me if Hojo had to create new, specialized medical equipment for the SOLDIER program that could also be used in hospitals. Who do you think he tested the efficiency of them on?
The scene I imagine the most is this: Sephiroth, SOLDIER of SOLDIERS, set apart among even the most enhanced, finally meeting someone who has gone through the same procedures, the same surgeries, cut open by the same hand.
The scene I imagine the most is this: like recognizing like.

Slapped in the fucking face by the concept of Dr. Kogami starting the Hanoi Project and subsequently creating the Ignis to cure Ryoken of an illness.
Like imagine. His wife is gone, his only remaining family left is his son. He'd promised on his wife's deathbed he'd protect their son in her place too and make sure he grows up happy.
Then Ryoken's health starts declining. And the symptoms are hauntingly familiar.
Turns out what took his wife is about to take their son too, the child she loved more than anything. If she were still alive, it would devastate her.
And Kogami, on the verge of despair and about to lose everything, decides no. Not again. Not their child, still so young. He will do anything, so long as it saves Ryoken's life. Even the unspeakable.
He didn't account for Ryoken hearing the children's cries.
And the guilt Ryoken carries now. The Lost Incident happened because of him. All those kids were abducted and tortured because of him. Then his father was taken away only to return home three years later in a coma. Becase of him.
And now his dad, his only family, is asking him to use the life given to him to right the mistake Kogami made.
And what else can he do but fulfill that request no matter what when this is all his fault to begin with.
Sidenotes:
While his life is no longer at risk, Ryoken still feels the effects of his illness. His immune system is garbage, achy muscles, gets short of breath easily, dizzy spells. But while this matters little in Link Vrains, Ryoken would still rather be outside in the real world.
Spectre helped take care of Ryoken after the latter took him in, still in the middle of recovering. He's now hyper aware of Ryoken's health as a result.
Ryoken met Yusaku when he snuck out of the house. He was allowed out very rarely for fear he'll get worse, and even then never by himself, but the adults are rarely free to go with him, so he sometimes sneaked out. After he almost collapses outside, Yusaku walks him home. Ryoken stopped sneaking out after that.
On the more positive side Ryoken definitely knows the importance of treasuring life after thinking he was going to die as a child and at some point getting so ill he struggled leaving bed.

The Mom Problem
I've always thought Shino was a half-orphan.
Shibi comes off as a bit of a helicopter parent. Shino is always under his wing, and he's always got his insects with him making sure he's safe. He's calm and reassuring. Protecting but also nurturing. He's looking out for him much more closely than any other shinobi parent. And he has less reason to than any of them. Shino is very capable.
He's playing both Dad and Mom for Shino. He's a very traditional man, even a bit of a sulky bitch at times, but he puts that aside to be what Shino needs him to be. What he's not getting from a mother.
It doesn't help that he lost Torune. He only has one son left. That's his baby. He can't help but worry.
It's sweet, but it has a serious negative impact on Shino. He has all the confidence in the world in his clan's jutsu. But in himself? None. He falls apart when he fails. He's nothing. He's unworthy. Shibi's concern only makes Shino feel like he can't be trusted to do things on his own.
But Shino doesn't resent him. Even as an adult, at the point when many people start griping with their parents' ridiculous affairs he considers his family so close that other people couldn't understand. And this too is sweet, but it probably speaks to some unhealthy enmeshment.
Personal headcanon: Shino's mother was one of many Aburame who were overwhelmed by Kurama's chakra and died during the Nine-Tails Attack. He would have been ten months old at the time.
We see that as a younger man, Shibi was just as handsome as Shino and extremely detached. I like to think on top of everything else he's trying to atone for being a terrible husband and never apologizing to Shino's mother before her death. An adulterer even-- after all, you can't have a bad reputation if you have no reputation.

Irondad fic ideas #17
You know those fics where Peter survives the first snap but Tony gets dusted, then Peter eventually 1) becomes family to Pepper and a brother to Morgan, 2) becomes heir to SI, and 3) ultimately invents time travel to get his dad mentor back? Fic of all of that but from Tony's perspective. The rapid turnaround. The awkwardness. Suddenly it's been 5 years and his son mentee is fully integrated into his little family. Eventually we can get to pride and communication, but at first to Tony it must seem like a freaky dream.

A dumb lil headcanon I have is that Yamato was assigned Naruto’s legal guardian in shippuden. (And that before it was Hiruizen, then Kakashi, then Jiraiya) just for convenience because he’s watching over Naruto all the time anyways.
oh god. sorry my response got really long but the fact is anyone even breathes a word of yamato being fatherly to naruto and i lose my shit and start beating my fist against the earth sobbing and shaking and etc.
now TO BE FAIR. i think if anyone should be naruto's legal guardian it should probably be iruka because iruka was the one who took care of naruto when naruto needed it most, and canonically naruto thinks of iruka as a father figure so much that he like, asks him to act as his father at his wedding, and he has this whole moment as a kid
THAT SAID. i like ur ask, and when it comes to the idea of legal responsibilities, i find the idea of Yamato being granted (even temporary) guardianship over Naruto to be extremely funny and entertaining.
i think yamato would personally take a lot of pride in that and really enjoy it. i think he would love nothing more than to have a practical, obligatory tie to enable him in his desire to take care of the people he loves. i also think that he would be obnoxious about it, at least a little bit. partially because his sense of humor is a little weird, and partially because he has no idea how to act as a guardian figure.
like i think he'd say shit like "bedtime! that's an order!" and naruto would be like "oh, piss off!" and then yamato would use his scary face and naruto would get even more frustrated, and the whole time yamato would be like "wow, naruto is a great kid (if a little disobedient!) and this is such a fun game we are playing, even if it tires me out :)"
unfortunately i think, out of all the guardian/mentor figures that naruto has had, (sandaime, iruka, kakashi, jiraiya, tsunade, those elderly frogs, yamato...) i think yamato is the one he is least close with, and would least like to be a permanent fixture in his life.
i'm not saying that he doesn't like yamato, just that...i would be really surprised if there's a point after yamato gets captured, where naruto is like "man, we should really save yamato!" y'know?
i could be wrong! i haven't gotten there yet. but like. i'm not anticipating it. thats okay tho i love naruto and hes got a lot going on.
picture below is more related to the tags than the text
