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!

Faris & Reina, G

The dress was laid out on her bed, pristine as always. Faris glared at it, wondering how long it would be before someone took the bloody hint that she wasn’t about to wear the thing.

“You don’t like it?”

She turned her head to find Reina staring at her, expression as serene as always.

“It belonged to mother,” she said, of the dress.

Well, that explained something of its persistent thorny presence in her life. But Faris wasn’t her mother, and the way everyone else behaved around the castle, she doubted her mother would have been much too proud of her, no matter what she was wearing.

“Do you... remember her at all?”

“Aye,” Faris answered. “I remember her fine. Not so much her wearin’ that.”

“If memory serves, she got it after you...” Reina trailed off, growing quiet. “After.”

Faris dropped into a chair, draping her legs, one of the other over its armrest. She stared at the ceiling. Here, she had an entire kingdom at her fingertips and she felt stifled, like a caged up bird with clipped wings.

“Is there anything I can do?” Reina asked.

Faris flicked her gaze towards her.

She didn’t mean to worry her, or anyone else.

She didn’t belong here.

The thought cut her like a knife. The raw honest truth.

Dragging herself back to her feet, Faris strode across the room to where her sister stood by the door. Taking Reina’s face in her hands, Faris kissed her forehead softly.

“I be fine, lass,” she assured her, “don’t ye trouble y’rself.”

Reina didn’t look convinced, but Faris flashed her a conniving smile. A few moments of quiet contemplation more, and the princess took her leave.

And so did Faris.

Stealing herself right out the bloody window.

yes I love this, the layers of guilt and history and both of them trying, but Faris not willing to compromise herself for anything, including Reina. A+++ ♥
