Okay, I made changes. One: the ugly "birds" are gone. Two, the ugly leaves that were near the light are gone. Looks plainer now, but I'm a beginner in backgrounds. Then again....I'm pretty much a beginner in photoshop. sweatdrop

You have a cute style Twindream. Since this thread is quite dead lately I want to give you guys something.
Gazette is one of my absolute favorite bands(Jrock) EVER and when I read this song translation, believe it or not, it reminded me of Cloti. I would say the song is best interpreted as Cloud's PoV. It's a beautiful & sad song, and it doesnt work out in the end. That's my perception of Cloti atleast. Enjoy <3 Ru-pon's lyrics are always tear-jerking.
Artist: Gazette Song: Last Bouquet
Hey, you are observing the emotions on my face like that To choose your words so you don't hurt me, right?
"The reason to why we can't believe each other is...?" Your fault? "Because I couldn't believe you is it...?" My fault?
Every time I laugh, you look so lonely Are you able to laugh when I'm struggling? Yes, I'm running away from your words again And while making your wounds deeper I was robbing you of your place
"I wasn't able to notice?" That's not it "I was pretending not to notice" And I was avoiding.
Your voice that I heard calling me so often I cover my ears again and say silent words " "
Every time you want me, This heart peels away You desperately choose your words Because this was your only place Every time you love me, This love peels away You can't return to your place that had become your support for living
To you, still puzzled Even though the string is already cut
Calling my name over and over again, Your ringtone[sound] that cries out to be connected Remembering over and over again, Don't forgive unfair me Don't cry over and over again, I can't love you What I wish over and over again, Don't love me anymore I want you to curse me Don't make me a memory I want you to forget me
This song is my last flower to you, And my last love This is the moment that I realize how unfair I am.

..or was it? xD jk Anyway there is one thing I wanted to make clear for anyone who didnt understand this line.Quote: To you, still puzzled Even though the string is already cut. To all those who dont know already know, in Japanese folklore, future lovers are connected at birth by a red ribbon, and that lovers are destined to be with one another. This ribbon, of course, is invisible to humans, but spirits and gods can observe the interconnections between fated pairs. Any match ups between two people not connected by the ribbon are destined to fail. A euphemism for "to break up" is "ito wo kiru", meaning "to cut the thread".
So in other words this line is saying that the singer and the girl whom he is singing to, were not meant to be.

Alright ppls! Announcement!! (Okay, I'm being overly dramatic....just a little project I'm doing)
Okay, my friend made this website for FF and Anime stuff and she elected me as her Secretary. Okay, you're thinking, 'what the crap has that got to do with anything?' Well, just hold on a bit. She asked me to make some manga out of a fanfic I'm doing, one of my Cloti fics. blaugh So yeah, ahem BIG announcement eh? Though, it'll take a million years before I can get ANYTHING up. In the meantime, I'm still working on that Cloti fic! whee

Oh, I had the weirdest dream last night! Okay, this was like, after DoC and for some reason everyone was in Aeris' church.....suddenly, Cloud held Tifa's shoulders and bent down to kiss her! Then he pulled and and said (sounding confident for once) "Thought you'd like a taste of a hero." And I was like eek (I was watching the dream if you know what I mean...) Tifa giggled and said something afterwards that I don't remember. xd What's funny was that suddenly a bunch of Cleris fans came from nowhere and tried to argue that the kiss didn't mean anything even going as far as to saying that Cloud just wanted a "taste" and that it didn't mean love. xd Okay weird dream, ya.
*No offense to any Cleris fan! How my mind works in my sleep even I've no idea*

Lmfao, -dies-. That is too hilarious! Sadly enough, I can see a few Cleris fans actually arguing that if it really did happen! -wipes eyes- xD

Unfortunately, I can imagine that too. xd If Cloud ever kissed Aeris, then I would probably give up trying to prove that Cloti is canon. I would still support Cloti though. xd

Oh...I've been bored one day and I just decided to go to some Tifa shrine...to see what stuff the owner put up and their views on her character and whatnot. I never really thought of it....but this person relates Tifa to Rinoa a LOT...and I mean...I really can see the connection! I just never realized it.
[[Connections With Final Fantasy VIII There are several similarties between Cloud & Squall, Tifa & Rinoa, and each respective couple's relationship. Tifa & Rinoa both have long dark hair and eyes and wear black. Tifa's mother passed away when Tifa was eight years old and Rinoa's mother, Julia Heartilly, was killed in a car crash before Rinoa's fifth birthday. Both their fathers are protective: Tifa's father blames Cloud for Tifa's accident, whereas Rinoa's father, General Caraway, disapproves of Squall. Both Tifa & Rinoa speak to animals as though they understand each other - Tifa to the dog in Mideel, Rinoa to her pet dog Angelo.
Tifa is a member of AVALANCHE, an anti-ShinRa resistance group; Rinoa is a member of the Forest Owls, a resistance faction in Timber. Although they aren't the leaders, they play an important part in holding the groups together. Both AVALANCHE & the Forest Owls require a mercenary's service in the form of Cloud & Squall, which is also a reason for each couple to become closer. Both couples share similar conversations regarding life the future, and how they've changed.
Cloud & Rinoa both fall dreadfully ill and are possibly lost forever. While Cloud has lost his mind and has to remain in Mideel, Tifa gives up everything to stay by his side. Similarly, while Rinoa was comatose, Squall did everything he could for her. Tifa & Squall stayed by their sides because they hoped for a cure and refused to give up.
Both couples keep their feelings aside until near the end of the game, so that the game wouldn't be filled with obvious love scenes. This makes open physical interaction more noticeable. When Tifa leans on Cloud and Squall hugs Rinoa, the game is soon over. Finally, during the Lifestream and Time Compression sequences, both couples are spiritually connected, enough to find and save each other no matter how dire the situation.
These are just some remote connections to things that happened in FF7 that Sheilanoticed, besides from Tifa & Rinoa or Cloud & Squall being similar in numerous ways. Take a look at these lines in similar scenes.
Tifa:"Give me a little longer... Just a little bit longer..." Tifa:"This day will never come again... So let me have this moment..." Cloud: "This is probably the last time we'll have together..."
Rinoa:"Just a little longer." Rinoa:"When we get back... We won't be able to stay together, huh?" Squall:"...Maybe."
Here both Tifa & Rinoa are unsure of the future and want to put off what they need to do, while being in Cloud & Squall's arms. Also interesting is that that both Cloud & Squall use what Tifa & Rinoa told them in the past, to make them feel better and encourage them.
Cloud:"It's all right, Tifa. You said so yourself yesterday." Cloud:"At least we don't have to go on alone."
Squall:"No one can predict the future, there are no guarantees." Squall: "Those were your words, Rinoa." There's one more connection, the LOVELESS play and the intro text known as the scene in Edea's Flowerfield. Both of them mention a promise to be together again, initially the women don't understand, but they end up promising as well. LOVELESS is shown during the summer months, and FF8 also mostly occurs during the summer months.
Lead's Sister:"...I don't understand. Not at all. But... please take care of yourself."
Her Lover:"Of course... I'll come back to you. Even if you don't promise to wait. I'll return knowing that you'll be here."
Rinoa:"Promised...?" Squall:"I'll be waiting for you. If you come here, you'll find me. I promise]]
