I feel like everyone who is dismissing Marlene’s answer to Zack conveniently forget that’s she *answered* Zack.
Zack asked the four year old if Aerith liked Cloud, like Elmyra wasn’t downstairs. Clearly the word of a four year old was good enough for him.
@Falkurion
I’m still in shock that the numbers have been so low to begin with. Maybe bc I came from KH first, but it was always Cloud and Aerith to me. Even as a huge Zack fan and Zerith fan, I assumed Clerith was canon
This whole both sides are toxic points whenever folks call out specific CT posts is starting to irk me. I’ve yet to see a CA example that matches the severity of the CT post we’re calling out. Just feels like we’re dismissing the topic at hand.
I don’t expect VAs to know the ins and outs of fandom drama and callouts, but I really hope this will be addressed by someone bc there’s no way these takes would fly with any other artist who doesn’t focus on a certain character.
Love how this man really has no chill when it comes to Aerith doing her own thing. Like we’re barging into people’s houses now just to see what she’s up to? Ok.
Sorry (not sorry) but even if some of the posts were just jokes, idk why folks are shocked they got blocked.
But let me spell it out for you. The joke sucked. Don’t want it on my TL. Next!
I’ve been struggling all day with how to convey my empathy and my disgust over what I’ve seen on my TL, as I don’t like involving myself in these things. But reducing someone’s irl trauma to shipping and victimizing yourself as a shipper is so gross and inhumane.
Ok real talk. I don’t really see jealous T in Remake or Rebirth. Certainly not on the same level as jealous C. I don’t remember T’s line while in prison with C but her jealousy seems weirdly stripped from the new games.
Since there’s so many beautiful Clerith moments that I hold near and dear to my heart, it’s nearly impossible for me to choose! So I’ll go with the one that started it all for me! Their touching reunion in Kingdom Hearts!
in celebration of clerith week, what's your favorite clerith moment ever? is it from the og, from remake, rebirth? or from the other intallments that include our couple🌸☁️
@KenMastersUSA
Eh, out of all the reasons, I don’t think much about this message. She sounds her age, and is trying to get answers on how Cloud is doing. If anything I like that she’s realizing she shouldn’t be a damsel in distress in the same message. +
I’m seeing a lot of discussion on one of Cody’s tweet and… isn’t that an old tweet? Like Rebirth trailer old? I’m pretty sure he responded to someone who warned him his initial tweet would start fights (and shocker it did).
@helloyellow1727
I keep having to remind myself of this. T’s popularity in the US is totally throwing me off. Especially with so many newsite using her photo way more than A’s.
Nope. I’m done being nice. Media literacy is truly lost. I’m worried about the state of future stories bc being beat over the head with what should be obvious answers is an absolute compromise to a given story 😩
This actually reminded me of something. Red and Aerith spoke about losing their visions into the future after defeating the whispers. I think Cloud does too! I don’t remember any visions of Aerith in RB 🤔
Welp shippers made the news again. I think the writer tried to be unbiased, but idk, feels convenient to leave out how Cloud not only brings up Aerith on his date with Tifa but also goes on a date with Aerith after the kiss.
Yet when it comes to my girl and her teasing, grabbing, dragging, and clinging the man, I see no fight. Where is his resistance? Where are the protests? Where is the *denial*? He stays suspiciously silent 🤔
@RadiantAntiHero
Oh wow! I totally missed that Barret and Cloud had their first dates at a park. Absolutely love this analysis and the parallels here! Really hoping to see more bonding between these two bc they have such an amazing dynamic.
@Nonfattofuti
Yup! I jumped between CA and ZA for CC and OG for this very reason. I loved the story and the dynamic these characters had for each game. I also enjoyed CT by the end of OG in particular (AC onwards it's back to CA 🤷🏾♀️).
Re:trilogy is on a whole other level for CA.
@Lolijustgaming
I follow this account but kept my distance after the analysis bc I saw that OP was influenced into thinking Aerith’s theme was implied to be in the song instead of having a huge role in it. Tifa’s was the one that’s undeniable.
He was definitely insulted tho 😅
@athrunchan1
Honestly it’s the ending that really kills it for me. Tifa’s face, her dialogue to go to their rooms, no mention of seeing each other again, or wishing Cloud luck for the tournament is not the win they think it is. I’m actually concerned 😂
I know I shouldn’t laugh but I finally saw first hand how Reddit handles CA/LTD posts.
No horrible exchanges (so far luckily) but I can’t help but chuckle at seeing how fast the downvotes came and the callouts for OP’s bravery. This is too unserious 😂😂😂
@velvetcitypop
Yeah it’s all over my timeline. I’ve been rolling my eyes bc suddenly they want to forget how hyper aware Cloud is of Zack and not knowing how Aerith feels about him. He didn’t want to because he needs assurance Aerith is ok w/ it or invites him to. Just like 🍵 did 🙄
@KenMastersUSA
The way I’m tempted to start steaming just because the reactions I’ve seen 😂
Want to balance things out and show my girl Aerith some luv!
@MargotXCloud
Yeah that’s definitely not the facial expression I expected to see right after they hold hands. He was so confident before hand and then looks conflicted 🥺
@Lolijustgaming
So to me while he thinks CAs are pitting the girls against each other, I find that he essentially downplays Aerith’s inclusion in the song to be just that, even if it were an accident. It’s just annoying to see over and over again.

@mudiscorp5227
This! I’m usually indifferent to other ships replacing the love interest in their scenes but when a fan base is claiming that romance doesnt exist only to then use that same stuff for their own ship, well…
Ngl, I wasn’t convinced on the hair alone. I know the devs can so careful and particular about these things, but it seems like a stretch.
However seeing these videos play side by side, I can see that a clear difference in the materia. One being white and the other empty! 🤩
@migardeners27
Not to mention if someone want to see it as friendship, that’s on them, but don’t act like we’re crazy for enjoying a story clearly meant to be romantic for a couple we ship. This wouldn’t even be a discussion for any other couple.
I had to be mean to Aerith… I gave her the worst answer, I the player did that, but seems like my wishes were not in line with Cloud’s wishes. Even if you chose the bad answer, he still bows to be there for her no matter what she decides & has a romantic sunset walk with her.
Finally replaying OG after 8 years!
But with the cheat 😈
3x the speed
No random battles
And maybe unlimited limits and HP 🤣
I’m here for my visual novel experience!
@KenMastersUSA
Not to mention ToTP doesn’t debunks anything really. Nobody is going to say that about themselves. Tifa’s reflection lines up with how one thinks. The devs give an outside and objective perspective.
@RadiantAntiHero
I’d ship Aerith with someone else if Cloud only showed a physical interest w/her & nothing else.
Interesting how many folks hang on to the GS kiss and hw as “proof” of love. This happens irl all the time w/o committing to a relationship or declaring their love .
Honestly don’t hurt yourself trying *so* hard to see what CAs see. Just enjoy CT and live your life.
No one is forcing you to like the ship, especially if you don’t even want to try to see their interactions as romantic.
@migardeners27
Right? I was so close to begging them to join our Clerith subreddit 😭
A few others commented on how Cloud seemed too different from Remake too.
Overall the top comments are actually decent for once, but the post is still fairly new. I’m not brave enough to check again tho 😂
@mudiscorp5227
One of my theories is Cloud walking up to Aerith and asking to buy a flower. Then he gives it to her repeating one of her quotes. I want him to say “Lovers used to give these when they were reunited” but I feel the goober would be too shy 😩
エアリス笑ってる…顔がぼやけてるし一瞬だから気づかなかった😭クラウドに微笑んでる、でも今回は最後じゃないよね🙏
Aerith looks smiling at Cloud. I have not noticed it until now...because her face looks intentionally blurred😭

@LeHoaNguyen4
Oh and the CT date doesn’t have a LA! Like at some point I have to believe they’re trolling bc there’s no fucking way they can be that serious!
I’m seeing serious irl takes on the TL that I don’t agree, but what’s so frustrating is what these opinions out. Once again the goal post keeps moving, and what’s was obviously wrong and ignorant is being downplayed bc of *checks notes* pixels…
The mama Claudia debate cannot be real. I’m impressed with the mental gymnastics people use and would rather double down and look foolish instead of taking the L.
