Name / Pseud: Cendri Journals (LJ, DW, etc) / AO3 username: crankyoldmanvenefica_auracrankyoldman Other places I’m looking for awesome fandom friends: I'm trying to keep my tumblr balanced between fandom and not, so... you're going to see lots of ladies and fashiony stuff and feminism on there almost more than fandom. But if you absolutely need a friend on there, I'm pinkpillsanity.
FF canons I’ve experienced: FFIV, FFVI, FFVII (AC, BC, OGC), FFVIII, FFX, and I'm in the middle of playing FFX-2. I've also seen FF:TSW, and own and really like Final Fantasy: Unlimited, which is super adorable. FF Fandoms I’m active in: FFVII, FFIV, FFVIII, and sometimes FFX Ways I participate in fandom: I write, I'm trying to rec more, I'm slowly getting back into RPing, and I cosplay.
5 characters I love and one sentence why 1. Tifa - So this is my first videogame crush, and yes, I like Aeris too. But I love how strong she is in some areas and weak in others and that she is a survivor. 2. Edea - My favorite character in FFVIII. Though her super powerfulness during her possession is badass, I really like exploring who Edea really is. 3. Yuna - She is hands down my favorite FF hero, and yes, she is the hero. Her progression is wonderful and I relate to her a lot, not gonna lie. 4. Edward - So, I adore Edward! He's the perfect damsel-but-not-really. 5. Veld - Five people have heard of him, but he's the old Turk leader from FFVII: Before Crisis and I just find the contrast with his fatherliness and badassness really interesting. Chances are if you've read a story about him, I've written it, or my ladyfriend has.
5 pairings I love and one sentence why 1. Tifa/Anyone - No really, I pretty much love any pairing she's in if it's written well enough. 2. Celes/Terra - Cause I like strong ladies making out. 3. Cid/Edea - The most complicated marriage ever. 4. Paine/Rikku/Yuna - See #2. 5. Vincent/Veld - Boys being stupid, but endearingly.
Themes, kinks, tropes that I really love to see in Final Fantasy fanworks: If it isn't obvious, I love ladies. And yes, I write slash too, and sometimes I'll suddenly have a lot of that, but I'm mostly in the FF fandom because of the ladies. I love their flaws as much as their strengths. I love them with boys and other ladies. It's all good. I'm also really into minor characters and will sometimes get obsessed with one for a while.
I'm also really fond of small details added to a character's history. Like, I don't know, a food allergy. RANDOM STUFF LIKE THAT. I love it when an author or artist really takes a character and shows some interpretation.
Also, I will pretty much give every kink someone has a chance, provided it's not just PWP... mostly because I get bored.
One ridiculous thought or question I have about FF and/or fandom, to start discussion with my new fandom friends:
Aeris and Terra... why do they have some of the creepiest fanboys?
Anything else? I'm a really busy person, which is why I don't really IM anymore, or comment a lot. It's not because I'm mean or a snob. I'm also really into sewing, design, engineering and tech (so I help design educational videogames as my job and have an aerospace engineering degree)! So if you like any of those things, I ramble about them.
