+ the very first reply:
actually not emotionally able to process the fact Cloud felt the fear and despair of Aerith’s death before it happened 🫠🫠🫠 they truly are the star crossed soulmates of all time
Lolol, I love how Rebirth shot down the theory that "Cloud was Zack whenever he is with Aerith" and instead showed that Cloud acted more like Sephiroth, including laughing evilly and fighting coldly just like Sephiroth.
the Cloud is just Zack when he’s with Aerith was always a dumb as fuck and incorrect misconception, even in the OG. i say misconception loosely; it was deliberately spread around by the western fandom to invalidate Clerith and say they’re an illusion/crackship. deeply ironic bcus the confirmed times cloud emulates Zack are with… t/ifa lmao. and the whole be a hero schtick which plays a part in the creation of his persona is also for… t/ifa. canonically Aerith is the person who sees through his persona first and encourages him to find himself. rebirth reiterated that point.
My top four FFVII OTPs: Cloud x Aerith, Sephiroth x Zack, Zack x Cissnei, and Jessie x Ti///fa
nice choices!!!! ill be real, im indifferent to all ff7 ships, im an outlier in the fandom for sure LOL cus everyone got so many ships and i dislike all the ship, but im not remotely invested at all. i think its an autism thing; im either all in or im not fussed haha. here is a tier chart i shared on twitter ajjsjskjkajsj
idk if u have ever answered this before but what program do u use to make gifs? ur gifs have made me want to start making gifs again but its been years and like theres so many diff programs out there im a bit lost lol. anyways thank u for all the clerith gifs u have shared with us! <3

I'll be honest. I can't bring myself to like Ti//fa. It's all because of how awful her fanbase is. For a character who has such a larger fanbase compared to other characters, her fanbase is truly the worst. All I see is them attacking Aerith and CA (including me) fans constantly. They always say terrible stuff about Aerith, and I'm tired of it. They scream the most threatening, hurtful, and racist things and even dox Aerith and CA fans. Now, they even attack developers, the composer, and the singer. I'm I wrong for disliking Ti//fa because of that? I seriously wished her character didn't seriously revolve around Cloud. I just don't like her... at all. And I still don't.
i think engaging with the ff7 fandom can be a really souring experience and it’s understandable to feel put off yeah. it can be infuriating to have days off Aerith being called an abusive sexual predator who manipulates Cloud and makes his MH worse and hundreds of people are agreeing or ignoring it but one person says smth like ‘T/ifa is codependent’ and the whole fandom acts like you’ve gone to their houses and burned them down 😭
For so long I didn't know whether I preferred clerith or cloti, everyone kept saying that cloti was canon so I almost felt forced to like cloti more than clerith but something just felt off about it imo. Then as soon as I got to the part where Aerith sings her song at the gold saucer I was like... yep, I am officially 100% a clerith fan, there's no going back now! I love Tifa but I see her and Cloud as best friends. Cloud's love for Aerith is just so obvious, I don't know how I didn't see it sooner!
well u know, you can like whatever ship you vibe with whether they’re canon or not!! but i obviously agree with ur final assessment clerith better 🤪🤪🤪 and also canon so!!
people behave so oddly when they get caught reposting gifs and asked to delete my god
made a comment that someone cared more about getting engagement off my work than respecting my feelings and deleting my gifs and when they eventually responded days later they said ‘like you don’t post your gifs for engagement, pick a struggle’ ??? jajsjsjs ?? well yes, they’re MY gifs and MY hours of work is the fucking difference like how do you type that with a straight face instead of apologising and deleting after you’ve hit right click save on my gifs ive posted here and then shared them elsewhere lmao

can I confess something is this a safe space lmaoo before playing remake all my knowlegde from FF7 was literally from Kingdom Hearts and some other random video game references (like world of final fantasy and like tactics etc) so finding out that not only clerith wasn't the most popular ship but that people thought it wasnt even canon was literally such a surprise bc I felt that it was always sold to me as this tragic love story between Aerith and Cloud?? genuinely extremely confusing
Aerith and Cloud have consistently been who SE markets outside of ff7 and a lot of people come into the fandom from KH shocked at what it’s like. but all the noise is just that: noise. They have never been a crackship. in the original trailer for ff7 it was described as a story of a love that could never be, a tagline that was said over an image of Aerith in the water with Cloud. clerith real as all hell and in fact the main love story in ff7, that’s why Aerith is the default date in the OG.
