Thoughts I wrote about the LS scene between Cloud and Tifa awhile ago. :giggle: The Lifestream scene shared between Cloud and Tifa for so many reasons. I don’t know where to start but I’ve been thinking of writing something about this scene for some time. Sorry if it comes out jumbled, but this scene gives me so many feelings, especially CT feelings! "Tender feelings… a secret no one can know…" This always came across to me as tender feelings for Tifa, and it was a secret for obvious reasons. He felt like a stranger to her group of friends and got into fights often, he wanted to impress her and he cared for her. This particular line is a huge point towards the CT pairing right here in Cloud’s thoughts. Just before this scene occurs the nurse watching over Cloud mentions how strong Tifa’s love for Cloud is, how she says Tifa must really love him. At this point Tifa says “nothing else matters now. Only Cloud.” I don’t understand when people say things like Tifa knew Cloud loved Aerith and she supported them being together when she shows her love for him this strongly, stays by him, continues to confide in him, and pursue him - and express her feelings. Even the NPC characters seem to acknowledge her care and attention and often express to Cloud that he’d better take care of her. Now some people think this is just a ‘glitch’ or it didn’t really happen because it’s unclear in the game, but at the end of this scene Cloud and Tifa float out of the lifestream and appear to be holding hands. As far as I know there’s been nothing to confirm or deny this but… That’s what it always looked like to me and that’s been a ‘headcanon’ I guess since then. I think this scene shows that both Tifa and Cloud had their share of hidden feelings and confusion about their past but during this scene they bare it all to one another and come to realize everything about one another. Cloud says nothing has changed from the past - and Cloud loved Tifa in the past. When he says nothing has changed, he’s basically saying that his feelings haven’t changed either. At least that’s my impression. Thinking about it, there’s no reason for his feelings for Tifa to have changed. He was gone with Zack for four years and he woke up the same guy (changed only from geostigma and Zack’s death). Why would his feelings for Tifa have changed at all? There’s literally no reason. Tifa was the only one that was able to get inside of Cloud’s subconscious mind as well as his heart during this part of the game. If she hadn’t saved his life during this time, his mind would be lost forever - he could have even possibly died. He’d never discover the truth about himself or the truth about his feelings. Furthermore he’d never come to realize that Tifa missed him and genuinely cared for him as kids. When Tifa reveals this to Cloud’s subconscious, it’s revealed that Cloud will be ” so happy” to know this. I hate when people say that Tifa was mean/bullied Cloud as a child ! She never did. It was Cloud who got into fights with others, but she had no part in it. Because Cloud never expressed himself to Tifa, she had no clue how badly he wanted her to notice up until this point. It drives me crazy that people say that Tifa is spoiled and mean as a child and that Cloud was no one special to her. When she genuinely cared and looked for him in the papers, where she dressed up for his return, where she called him her blonde knight, and where in the future four years later she still has not gotten over her feelings for him. A lot of people say yes, Tifa wanted the hero and Cloud is not the ideal hero… but as a grown woman she shows continuously that Cloud is the person she loves for who he is and has become. I don’t understand how that’s hard to understand~ that’s it! just thoughts c: |
