N o t . I n t e r e s t e d - A Cloud Strife Club

But of course, ^_^

Why do you like Cloud so much? :yay:

Also, read the front page's rules okay ^_^
 
The post of contention has been entirely edited to remove the image and link from the thread completely. Let's put it behind us.

Welcome to the club, ironwill.

Good reasons, Riddick. ^_^

Don't forget he tells girls he's there for them around a romantic bonfire. :wacky:

Please be sure to read the rules on the front page. ^_^ No discussion of any LTD. That means no discussing Cloud with Tifa romantically OR Cloud with Aerith romantically. It's just best we keep it outta the club since not every Cloud fan thinks the same. ^_^

:lol:

Epic.
But why wouldn't it be Japanese? :hmmm: Actually, I think SE wanted Cloud to be as westernized so never mind :wacky:

I remember. ;) (Dare I bring up the orthopedic underwear incident? NEGATORY)

Thanks for explaining what LTD is(although I do wonder what the letters LTD stand for. Literary Transmitted Disease perhaps). If someone could explain what shipping is I may be able to maneuver my way through here without completely being ridiculed.

Avoiding the topic of who is sleeping in whose 7th heaven bar is easy as a flower girl for me. Have no fear!

I thought Cloud looked more chinese than japanese in advent children. Maybe its because Jet Li, Jackie Chan, Chow yun Fat & other assorted asian leading male badasses are chinese & japan has a dearth of comparable precedent? :humph:
 
LTD =
Love Triangle Debate.

It's an ugly debate that's been lingering around the VII fandom since about 2002. It's arguments about which girl (Aerith or Tifa) Cloud loves canonly. There's many fans on both sides and the subject is very touchy.

How you can avoid it is by... well, not bringing up Tifa (or Aerith) in relation to being romantically linked to Cloud. In no way will it ever be all right for discussion of any ships (Cloud with Tifa or Cloud with Aerith) in this club. That includes sly posts that doesn't say it in black and white but we all know is hinting at it. :wacky:

Recalling scenes is okay, if we all can't stomach scenes like the underwear one being brought up or Aerith's death scene then... well, I'm at a lost at what to do then. :wacky:

You may also bring up Cloti pictures or Cloti fanfics

But when you do, post as links with warnings, okay? ^_^
 
Much thx for the info.

If I was to LTD I would probably say Yuffie stole Cloud's materia and his heart or something equally vague and nonsensical. I think its intentionally left vague to allow the player to imagine their own conclusion of events & how they think it should have ended. There is no correct answer, its an ambiguous and vague topic for a reason. :humph:

K. If I find any pics of Cloud I'll mos def adhere to the rules. Just for you.
 
It's for all of us. ♥

Okay, this is gonna be an odd question. But, does anyone else feel like Cloud's character is being stripped from what used to be his?

I've noticed that Zack has taken a lot from Cloud but since it's a retcon it makes it seem like Cloud's stealing the stuff from Zack.

I get that Cloud took bits and pieces of Zack's legacy... but c'mon, this is just ridiculous. I'm always coming across fans that bash Cloud and say how he stole Zack's life and it just makes me so irritated. :gonk:

This, above everything else in the FFVII fandom, is what I hate the most. :hmph:
 
Zack is a 'playa' and ladies man who always has a cocky womanizing smile on his face. :whistle2: His personality is outgoing, loose, and western.

Cloud is less prone to displays of public affection. His outward appearance is more reserved and moderate within a conservative asian vein.

I don't envision either stealing much of anything from the other. They are close to being complete opposites!

Next thing you know people will be demanding to see Cloud Strife's birth certificate claiming he's a muslim with a shady middle name. :kelly:
 
Yeah, but I'm talking about everything that makes up Cloud's character. His Buster sword, his riding motorcycles. His hair slicking... stuff like that :gonk:

Cloud shares no personality alikeness to Zack. That we all can see. But it feels like the only thing Cloud has to himself is "not interested" :gonk:
 
That's like saying a soldier who joins the US military has nothing to themselves because they have a crew cut, wear camo, and carry an M-16.

I doubt Zack invented the Buster Sword. Cloud and Zack both carried massive swords of some type that were likely standard issue.

Contrary to internet popular belief, I doubt Zack invented riding motorcycles also.

The outrageous hairstyles could be an effect of mako. Mako eyes. Mako hair. Yes. I doubt Zack invented mako, too.

Zack's hairstyle isn't all that similar to Cloud's. And neither is Sephiroth's.

As far as anyone knows long and wild hair is standard SHINRA grooming policy. lol
 
Actually, the army is issuing an M-4 these days, even though the M-16 is better overall with the longer barrel. The Marines, who kept the M-16, are having to trouble with it at all, but everyone else with the M-4 are constantly having to fix their weapons.

Anways. :wacky: Sorry about that.

Basically, the only thing Cloud "borrowed" from Zack was the self-assurance of knowing that oneself is a total badass. Zack knew he was a bad mofu, and had a lot of confidence in that. Cloud didn't have that -- so he "borrowed" that attitude, that underlying reassurance that he's a badass and then made the cool, aloof, mercenary attitude based on that. The rest just went from there.

Cloud is his own person. Anyone that says otherwise is... well...... sadly misinformed.

Here's a question for us all: What Cloud paraphernalia do you own?

I own a pair of earrings. :griin:

Assume I posted something with offensive here.

I'm seriously this close to going bonkers. THIS CLOSE. :gonk:


I set up rules for the club, rules got broken. People got offended. I'm not sure if anyone here realizes this, but I set up those rules so crud like this would never happen. Believe me, I run Cloud clubs elsewhere. I have experience with shippers getting offended. That's why I wanted everyone to not post anything dealing around ships. Because, whether we all like it or not, people will not be happy with either pairing being brought up. Ever.

Everything I wanted to avoid just happened.

And instead of dropping it like you agreed to, you had to throw in some comment like that?

to avoid spam in the club please, @Dragon Mage, Private Message me if you would like to continue the discussion. I want to talk with you so that I can help you not feel offended or that people are unjustly accusing you of stuff. Same to you @Tori. Just tell me when you think someone is trying to jam Cloti stuff everywhere, okay? :gonk:

I don't want either of you to feel offended... in yet, you both do. So PM me if you want to chat this through.

I don't want the Cloud club to be filled with all this spam. So please, if anyone has anything to say about any of what's been going on feel free to PM me. However, if anymore posts like this continue in the club, whether it's to complain about shipper stuff being brought up or to complain about people complaining about you posting shipper stuff, I will be forced to get the moderators. I don't want to, but I will. This is a Cloud Strife fan club. Not a spam thread.

If it's not dealing with Cloud as a character do not, I repeat, DO NOT post about it. No complaining, no nothings.

I'll say it again, please do not post about any of the sensitive subjects we just touched upon in the Cloud club. If you wanna talk to me about anything I just said in this post, fine, I encourage it. But you can't speak about it in the club, you must private message me to talk about it.

Thank you. :ryan:

What Cloud paraphernalia do you own?
I own the AC action figure. But his leg is broken :sad: I own a large poster of Cloud that I've had since 2004, it hangs above my bed on the back of my wall, and I have smaller posters that I took from mags. :ryan: I want the plushie though, and the cute chibi kh figurines. Oh, I also own the post cards from AC: limited Edition. :inlove:


EDIT:

The issue has been dealt with. Please no responses. :ryan:
