Hi, I’m Alayia. (Uh-lie-yah) Also known as Lolijustgaming. I play video games like FF, RE, OW, and plenty more. I’m currently involved in the FF7 fandom. I stream occasionally (working on a schedule). I hope we can be great friends! Also, sometimes I draw and post it? 🥰
Hello, It's Alayia. Today, I present a thread about the research that led me to believe that “Tifa is the past and Aerith is the future.” I tweeted about this already but it got minimium engagement, so I have decided to share my thoughts point by point. This thread was originally
I genuinely might be more aggressive. I'm sick and tired of behavior like this. If I get a bad rep, moots I'm sorry, but these people need to be delt with.
"I believe for those who formerly traveled with her as comrades and for the viewers, each carries their own feelings and love for Aerith. In this story, Cloud also carries his own undying feelings for Aerith, even to this very day..." Nomura, Famitsu Mag (OCT 2023)
I’m quite confused why people are angry. If CTs don’t do anything about their mutuals and we don’t say anything, how does that make us look? Push overs, right? What do you want us to do? We want safe spaces. Y’all want safe spaces. We can coexist.
Hey TTM! Remember you blocked me for asking for screenshots? Unfortunately this was before I asked Margot in DMs as well but damn. My interactions with CT “that bad?” Maybe I don’t like taking shit from people who aren’t shit, but I’m the best ain’t shit ever.

Our poor baby boy Cloud, aka the player, the one who decides between the two. Who he chooses to pick may shock you. He picks the future, Aerith. Well, how is this decided? Aren’t you being biased? Well, dear questioners, I tell you to look at Advent Children. One moment in the
Aerith and Cloud's Dynamics?
As user delve into the complex dynamics between Aerith and Cloud in FF7R, it's clear that Aerith plays a crucial role in shaping Cloud's emotional growth. The friendship, banter, and emtional depth that Aerith brings into Cloud's life are pivotal 1/?
Sorry not sorry but if you don’t like my opinion please mute me. I really don’t want to deal with people who want to attack me for being “CA”. It’s disgusting behavior and it’s mostly the CT fans who do it. I’ve already mentioned in my profile that I only consume media of the 1/2
the fact I’ve said 103893 times that Tifa represents the past and Aerith the future and that’s what the water tower scene was symbolic of with only Cloud and Aerith going up the newly built one and now the new EC scenes are titled this

I will leave you with this. No matter who you are, you will return to the life stream. Aerith and the Cetra are able to remain conscious within the life stream for a certain amount of time. Zack and Cloud, who are basic humans, will never see Aerith in the life stream, just
The gongaga scene is before this, Cloud is jealous of Aerith. He believes she is still in love with Zack, so I see why the poster would come to that conclusion. But idk why yall are acting so disgusting and disrespectful about it? Telling someone to kill themselves is not the

Let’s talk about Tifa, the girl who is stuck in the past. I learned a lot about her while researching her character. I honestly think the game gives the details subbdally so it isn’t outright in your face. While she is a fierce baddies, she is QUITE insecure when it comes to her

@SixthGen2048
Let’s talk about Aerith, the girl who is ALL about her future. In OG, she doesn’t have too much room to grow after we meet her because her life is cut short, but she showed us the passions of her life. We grew to love her (as the player) as Cloud. She doesn’t dwell on the past
What THE fuck? Not only to clotis mock people during life? They also, mock them during death. CLOTIS I HOPE YOU KNOW THAT YALL ARE SOME SICK FUCKS?! LET HER REST IN PEACE!

As we all know there has been shipping discourse since 1997. Everyone has their opinion on Cloti and Clerith, whether they disagree to agree. It has always been the same two ships that pop up often. While reading character descriptions, I noticed a common occurrence between each
So you remember when AC came out and it said “This is the reunion you were waiting for?” Well I have a feeling that Remake/Rebirth/the last game is supposed to be the Clerith’s happy ending. They are pushing Aerith more. They are giving us all of these hints that Clerith will
Nigga what? They want this game to cater to who? Nigga sit the fuck down and actually make what the JP DIRECTORS WANT?! Like we wouldn’t have all this confusion and delusion if you stayed true to THE SOURCE MATERIAL (JP versions of remake/Rebirth) SENA got me hella fucked up.

Also, I would like to say these are my thoughts and opinions. If you disagree, that’s okay, we can talk about it, but sending straight hate (calling me an idiot. Telling me to KMS, etc.) will not be tolerated. I will report those posts. I will try to stay away from having this
Considering the amount of people who have shit to say about this art that is negative need to actually shut up. It wasn't like Kiawz was in SE headquarters plotting to post this art as soon as the cloti water tower scene dropped. Like it's art. KEEP THEM OUT OF THE LTD BULLSHIT!

On a lighter note, I would love to say, that I like this despressing characterization of Tifa. Not that I don’t like seeing her happy but it gives her character more ‘life’ to her. She feels like she is ‘just’ there in Rebirth and I hate that she didn’t get a lot of important
Is Tifa REALLY important to the story of FF7?
.
According to this article from GameRant, Yes!
But what if I told you, I feel like she doesn't exactly IMPACT the story like we think she does (BASED OFF OF REMAKE ALONE!!!)

@midgardeners27
I rather block everyone on this list then have people harass and talk shit about me behind my back. and that is exactly what this list is made for. So please go back from where you came.
But when we do something and yall “copy” it, we don’t call yall out? It’s called taking inspiration, I doubt any of the artist will trace or remake the same exact logo. I understand yall might be hurt but why are yall attacking people when they asked for a “CA” version?
Yuffie’s arm isn’t bent in a realistic way. When you go to hold something sideways(like an ice cream cone) the two sections of bone in your lower arm/wrist will cross over, creating a weird “point” at your elbow.
Yuffie’s back is also very unrealistically arched (it’s giving

Hey Clotis. Did you forget the most important part of the lore? The lifestream? No one is conscious within it. Although most believe they reunite with their loved ones but they cannot. They are turned back into energy for the planet. Aerith and many other cetra can prevent
HERE ME OUT FIRST!!!
What if Tifa is the "past" and Aerith is the "future"?
I came up with this while researching for a thread and I found out that in almost ALL descriptions of Tifa are based around the Nibelhiem incident and the fact that she is stuck in the past when it comes
@CloudStrife1C
I'm assuming you have the post that someone else shared. Also, I'm not attacking anyone, especially not the VAs because they just don't know. BUT YOU'RE WIFE ON THE OTHER HAND...
Tifa is a copycat?
From Remake Aerith says she misses the steal sky (before the update)
In Tifa’s quest in junon, Tifa’s says she has a fear of the real sky and misses the steal one (just summarized)
Idk if I should make this a thread or not… I’m sure there is one though!
Every CA hear me out, if you happen to see this twt, please block

This mofo has all CA blocked but still spy on and frequently talk shit behind the block.

No, you bunch of ass kissers, Tifa supremacists idiots.
I made it very clear that I dislike how she's reduce to a sexual object by SE and her fans, all the time for above her qualities. What's so hard to understand about that?.
Hey, I would like to say I took it down for everyone who liked my "Clerith Follow List". I concluded it was not okay to have people on there who didn't want to be. I am using this post to allow people who want to be on the list to comment something on this post or the other one!
in his character development. Whether the debate leans towards Aerith, Tifa, or both, one thing remains clear- Aerith's influence on Cloud goes beyond mere romance. . (Word for Word)
The way I actually related to her but her stans put her on a pedestal for being a “queen” when she is actually realistic and I wish we got more of this from her. I love her so much! She is me fr
I will say that this post is in support of CA but I'm not opposed to people making a thread about CT and tagging me. AS LONG AS IT ISN'T MEANT TO BE MEAN!!! Anyways, thanks for coming to my ted talk!
LOLI OUT (for now!)
Like...what a weird behavior, right? Why this ppl is so obsessed with Aerith? Have to made up a lot of things to try to invalidate something...and why an optional scene ruined your life like that, you envious? Geez, the replies...it looks like a 8-years-old talking, what a shame.
If you are in support of this person, block me, hide my replies, and don’t interact with me! If you support
@StygianSis
or
@TifaTheMonk
, block me and don’t interact with me. If you don’t care for people’s trauma over a ship don’t interact with me. This was a serious situation.
This has been brought to my attention.
Horrendous libel is being spread against me from people that have never talked to me. I have NEVER photoshopped children in scat, but they are spreading malicious lies that I did despite no evidence.
This is why I don’t like Tifa Stan’s or trying to be on “their” side of the community and trying to interact with them. This shit makes me sick. Like why do you imagine stuff like this?
An important PSA for my friends:
Certain fans have been even more aggressive than usual lately, coming after CAs in their threads, even DMs. To help everybody better protect themselves & curate their space, I’ve made an extensive block list.
Please pass it on & take care. 💛
I'm actually quite confused. HelloYellow literally just made a list of people to stay away from. If people don't want to interact with Cloti content and curate their TLs why is it such a problem? Like I don't understand. This behavior is quite literally hypocritical. ⬇️
The absolute nerve to peddle a block list when y’all are the ones constantly coming to our side to harass, spread hate & falsehoods on our threads & trash our appreciation posts w/ lies & mischaracterizations.
Hopefully this means we’ll see less of y’all, but somehow I doubt it.
Same thing for CAs, why do we push them? They are never going to change. They will stay in there ways. At this point just block everyone and don’t interact with anyone. Especially if you have an opinion.
Guys I think I’m on the right side of FF twitter cuz look at the engagement I’ve been having. Made the same post but the Aerith post has been shared more!
It's really sad how quick to judge some people in this fandom are, especially regarding out of context tweets from many years ago. Sreliata has never attacked anyone and would not wish harm on anyone. The level of hatred she is receiving from Cleriths, exclusively, is disgusting.
Retweeting this because MOST of the CTs who have heard the news have been very respectful and we should just uplift the ones who have been. I probably have most of them blocked but it’s great to see them wishing condolences. Mudi may have returned to the planet but at least we

Hey, so after recent events. Loads of them. I’m thinking I’m might as well take a small hiatus. I have a lot of stuff going for me irl. Yes, I’ll still be working on my thread in private. I’ll be here for the rest of the day to anyone’s questions. Sorry if this is sudden but the
I hate that they changed the translations "to make sense" when we have unofficial translators doing it for us and it makes so much more sense for the story they are telling/portraying. This gives more support to the Aerith and Cloud love each other delusion I live in.
From the GAMES AND THE MOVIE. I HAVE NOT READ THE BOOKS OR NOVELS THAT HAVE BEEN CREATED. if im wrong I’ll accept that but there is no need to attack anyone for a fucking opinion.
The fact
#Cloti
needs to have racism explained to them is crazy. Sorai is still LANTINA, just because her skin is white doesn’t change her ethnicity. There are many races where their skin color is “white”. Doesn’t mean that they are! So please stop bullying people for their skin
The biggest changes in Cloud and Aerith's relationship, which is more romantic than FF7 OG. OG could be reviewed as romantic but it is slowly built over time so it felt more natural. (Slight word for word)
Wait, so
#clerith
fans, we aren’t allowed to be mad about bullying, harassment, misinformation, racism, old “drama”, etc because they’ll call us what they’ve been doing to us? We can’t stand up for ourselves for shit? After what I read on my TL, that’s what I gathered.
So I’ve blocked this person after reading their tweets because I noticed that they commented on my stuff. It seems as though they don’t like shippers and calls them “new fans” or not real fans. I’m not trying to spread hate but awareness. DO NOT INTERACT WITH THEM OR ATTACK THEM.
Just saw a tweet about people not wanting to ship Tifa and Barret, but they are super cute! (Didn’t mean to include AI in the SS, I think I marked it out?)
After getting into it with her "husband" and "twin sister", she finally blocked me. THANK GOD, I don't have to see poorly rendered/stolen art from someone who is a piece of shit.

should be trending by now.
@Ruyoai
Nah, I don't think so. But, I'm sick and tired of artists being pelted by people like you. Take your miserable ass from this post and go enjoy your ship. Actually block the worlds Clerith, Aerith, and the like so you don't have to see it anymore since you don't like it.
always be back. Aerith is the only one who Cloud makes such a promise too.
"In Aerith's case, if you play the game normally (just run thro), the partner that generally comes will be Aerith." -FF7 Dismantled, SE
A promised date (Aerith promises Cloud) that end in a magical night
Cleriths are caught harassing Nojima again (worst is it was under his unrelated post)
Since they deleted their post don't think I haven't caught them red handed calling Tifa a s3xual fanservice character under Nojima's acc
at the end of the game.
When Seph asks Cloud, what he cherishes most, images of Aerith play FIRST and is the most seen character.
In Kingdom Hearts, Cloud tell Aerith that he doesn't want her involved. Aerith understands. Then he promises her that no matter how far he goes, he'll
insist on saving Aerith in HQ.
Cloud looks upset when Aerith says he SHOULDN'T fall in love with her.
He voices disagreement saying whether he has a say in that decision. Cloud also declares that he is coming for her.

@fodrule
@shredleymedleys
So it's a mistranslation that they decided to never correct in any version of the game, even though they corrected many other mistakes?
Qoute from AI/COPILOT: "Aerith and Cloud have a budding-turn-romantic relationship. Aerith is one of Cloud's friends and someone who loved Zack once upon a time. According to the Novel call Case of Life Stream-White, Cloud is the lover of Aerith. SE officially released an art 1/2
And this is the main reason why we get called HYPOCRITICS. Because we fight back when people are attacking us, it feels like there is no other option because they don't call out that behavior.
@mlwjrpg
When Cleriths speak out about being targeted, CTs often claim that we’re the extremists and that we’re making up our victimhood, insisting there are no extremists on their side. They need to acknowledge that they do have perpetrators among them.
