Haha, yes: Katy = Katmillia, and Becky = Vrazdova/safety_caesars (who I am not sure you know, but is also in FF fandom and is the one I have to thank/blame for GW in the first place, it is all her fault). And whilst Katy does call me Jessy a lot, I will be honest and say that even my parents call me Sev sometimes XDD. We met through FF fandom - OLD SCHOOL fandom, in fact; I met Katy through FFIV (although we also share FFVIII and FFX) and I met Becky through FFIV and FFVI. (Becky's my roommate now and we definitely refer to ourselves as Locke and Edgar.)
And yes, I have lots of recs now. Seriously, why must I be productive this weekend? ADULTHOOD: WHY.
Yeah, the whole setup of 15-year-old boys being pilots and trained killers is interesting in a LOT of ways. Have you played FFVIII at all? Because it's a bunch of 17-year-olds in a high school... FOR HIGHLY EFFICIENT MERCENARY CHILD KILLERS, basically. I love that aspect of it, it's just so WTF at its basic foundation.
And to go back to FFVII too -- you definitely hit on a big part of what I like about characters like this, and that's their relationships with other characters. It's what makes the Turks interesting, not just that they're "real people" and "ruthless killers", but that these ruthless killers all have bonds to each other that are so important to them. That level of loyalty/devotion, plus competence: I kink on that, PRETTY HARD.
Catherine punching Trowa! It's great because it's like this big emotional moment, Trowa being all, um, does someone actually give a single shit about me, I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO HANDLE THIS. Then suddenly MOST AWKWARD ROAD TRIP HAPPENS. And that's that.
I really liked the entire scene with Dorothy, Quatre, and Trowa. Dorothy fencing with the mask on - creepy! Quatre has already decided he doesn't need the Zero System and then he gets stabbed! And then Trowa comes to get him (UNFFFFFFFFFFFF) and then there's Trowa just basically coming in and serving Dorothy a dose of wisdom and, yeah. Poor Dorothy and uh h/c D/R can pretty much go on that table, I am okay with all of that.
