FINAL FANTASY KISS BATTLE 2021!

HELLO FRIENDS????? Remember those fandoms we all used to be in? and producing things for? Well, baby, it's time for a nostalgia run, so buckle up your chocobos and get ready to roll. We haven't done a Kiss Battle in years and [personal profile] lassarina and I for one think it's TIME TO DO SO.

This event is open to everyone, even if we aren't DW circlefriends! (feel free to friend me too; i promise i'm not crazy that's a lie). If you aren't on DW, you can still play via anon or OpenID!

The Kiss Battle is simple. Players leave prompts in comments under each specific fandom, using generalized fandom nomenclature: a relationship of some sort, and a concept to inspire other players.

  • For romantic relationship kisses, we use X / Y
  • For platonic relationship kisses, we use X & Y
  • Absolutely open to relationships with more than 2 people involved! X / Y / Z (/ A / B ...) welcome to this party!
  • Prompts can be a word, a sentence, an image, a song lyric; it's a suggestion, rather than a request
  • it's a kiss battle! there will be smooches!

Players then go looking for smoochin' prompts they'd like to fill. Fills can be fic, art, interpretive dance, whatever you're inspired to; they can be filled in a responding comment, or as a link (to AO3, tumblr, etc). FILLS GOTTA HAVE A KISS IN 'EM. IT'S A KISS BATTLE. What counts as a "kiss" is up to you, though -- you can be creative!

  • Fills should use the comment header to let people know what the fill is; please use a format like "X / Y, (title), (rating), (any content warnings that might apply)"
    • "Aerith/Tifa, memorial, G"
    • "Cloud/Squall, just in time, R (blood)"
  • Prompts can be filled multiple times! Don't worry if someone got there first; we love Two Cakes up in this event! The more kisses we get, the better!
  • You can fill as anon if you want/need for any reason
  • You can of course crosspost anywhere you'd like

It's a very simple game, and is meant to be played in good faith without anybody being a shitbag about pairings or characters. We're all too old for this.

FF FRIENDING THREAD

You can also join the Final Fantasy Old Folks Home Discord and come gripe about those kids on our lawn and the old days where you had to level grind by hand lmao. Open to all FF fans!

BLITZ KISSINS If you already know what smooches you want to write, you don't need to wait for a prompt -- just comment into the relevant fandom thread with your kiss!

REMEMBER It's only fun if everybody plays, so if you leave a prompt, try to fill someone else's!

Fill: Lunafreya/Gentiana, G, unquestioning loyalty from the divine

The girl stands clad in white surrounded by fields of her childhood. The new growth is a herald of that which will soon blossom, blossom and wither, left for winter to consume the dry leaves.

This transience is worthy of worship, sacrifice that the gods cannot make. Sorrow that they cannot know forms the tears that spill over the budding flowers. She will be gone before the blossoms fall.

She is sacred and mortal, and must be handled like spun glass. She has turned the ice in Gentiana's chest to meltwater, taken a goddess apart at the seams. She does not resist the finger that reaches for her jawline, set in determination, still, but not passive. Her choice and will resonates in every action. They mirror, curve into each other, mortal and divine, light and shadow. The kiss is as light as the touch of a petal, as brief as the fall of a snowflake. It, too, shall resonate in eternity.

Goooorgeous <3 And I love the idea of the sacrifice gods can't make, and Luna's agency coming through so strongly.
