Meet BeanWritesStuff, one of our Writers! The way his design not only stands out on its own but also contrasts with Cloud's, evolving into his Safer Sephiroth form is fascinating to them!
Gloriosa presents the spotlight of BeanWritesStuff, Writer Contributor for the zine. Find BeanWritesStuff on socials as: Twitter: Thisisbeans13. Bluesky: thisisbeans13. About them: "I'm a writer who somehow started FF7 with Advent Children. I wish we had more Seph in crisis core." Writing sample text: “‘If ‘what-ifs’ weigh you down, take a look at the roads you could have gone down,’” Genesis read from the card, twisting it slightly and noticing how the light caught on the golden ink the message had been written in. After a moment he turned back to Sephiroth. “What does it mean by that?” “How should I know?” Sephiroth replied. “It’s addressed to you,” Genesis gestured towards Sephiroth with his hand and an indignant glare. “And so is half of the fan mail that gets delivered every day,” Sephiroth asserted. “No matter how tasteless and improper, it all may be.” The background is dark, almost black; some mako smoke can be seen on the upper left and lower right corner.

Meet astra, one of our Merch Artists! The fact that Sephiroth canonically uses an entire bottle of shampoo AND conditioner daily along with 13 kinds of perfumes... what a diva!

Meet amuk, one of our Writers! The way Sephiroth formed connections with those around him, only to lose them slowly one by one and ultimately meeting his tragic end alone. She also enjoys listening to his theme music!
Gloriosa presents the spotlight of amuk, Writer Contributor for the zine. Find amuk on socials as: Twitter: amukWrites. Tumblr: kumeko. Bluesky: amuk. About her: "I'm a writer who somehow started FF7 with Advent Children. I wish we had more Seph in crisis core." Writing sample text: Finally done his inspection, Sephiroth stood straight. “It’s a weapon,” he quietly declared. For a man as famous and powerful as he was, his voice was oddly soft. The complete opposite of Aerith, who crowed loud enough to wake the dead. She smirked, vindicated. “Told you so.” Zack scowled. They’d had this argument all morning and all he could conclude was that he was surrounded by blind fools who couldn’t understand a true masterpiece. He protectively hugged his flower wagon, trying to shield it from the harsh comments. “Come on! It’s really cool. Why do you keep saying that?” The background is dark, almost black; some mako smoke can be seen on the upper left and lower right corner.

Meet Quinhwyvar, our Guest Writer! She loves exploring the depth of Sephiroth's character and humanity, especially with SephZack!
Gloriosa presents the spotlight of Quinhwyvar, Guest Writer for the zine. Find Quinhwyvar on socials as: Twitter: Quinhwyvar. About her: "Quinhwyvar (Quin) is someone who has been hopelessly addicted to writing her whole life and is still trying to figure out how to string together coherent sentences (and to write about herself). She's extremely excited to work on such an amazing project about her favorite character who she has written about for almost five years." Writing sample text: Sephiroth is lonely. It becomes so apparent in the curl of his fingers when he hears people laugh or the way he looks away at times. Everyone stares at Sephiroth but he’s not sure anybody sees the quiet guy underneath. They see the Great Sephiroth. It’s only when the wonder had started to wear off that Zack started noticing the other physical wants and cues. This man doesn’t have that expectation of his identical counterpart. The inherent strength and confidence, it’s just like his coat, he can’t wear it all the time. The power and strength are there but this is the guy laying in front of him, holding his breath, unwilling to speak. The background is dark, almost black; some mako smoke can be seen on the upper left and lower right corner.
