FINAL FANTASY KISS BATTLE 2022!!!
well HELLO FRIENDS????? after MUCH delay which is MY OWN FAULT, i am here to present to you the tiny fandom event of the year: Final Fantasy Kiss Battle 2022!!
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 but at least i'm sometimes funny). 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.
FANDOM LINKS Fandoms with compilations and expansions should fall into their titled macrofandom. For example:
- FFXIII also includes FFXIII-2 and Lightning Returns (FFXIII-3)
- FFX also includes X-2
- FFIV includes the After Years
If you need to specify a certain microfandom / singular canon, please do so in the prompt or in the comment header!

softer (Palom & Porom, G)
For the longest time it's a sensation in her brain, and the only thing she can compare it to is the time she stood with Palom and watched his first Blizzard spell melt to nothing in the Mysidian heat. It isn't until she's nearly restored that she realizes it's her thawing from a state she never meant to wake up from.
She tastes the magic of the Elder on her tongue in the same moment she moves her tired hands. It tastes like sand, and fresh water, and the comfort of a good bed.
Porom opens her eyes. Her palms are still pressed against the wall; she lowers them slowly and stares down into them, as if they can tell her all the things that have happened.
--then she hears the voice that's more dear to her than anything, croaking as if it hasn't spoken in weeks: "Yo, bro, good to see ya. What the hells is going on?"
Porom turns, joy bubbling in her chest.
The Elder lowers his hands; his smile is beatific as they come to rest within his robes as usual. "Your magics are unfamiliar to everyone but me. I was able to undo them, since it was your will that did it."
Porom isn't listening. She's staring across the short distance of Baron Castle's hallways at the most precious thing she knows.
It isn't easy to explain it to people who aren't twins. When your twin is gone it's like half your heart stops beating. It's like something has cored out your bones and left them hollow and shallow. But now she's looking at her obnoxious brother with his ridiculous ponytail and the stupid way he stands with both hands on his hips as if he can stand up against anything.
He looks over at her and the relief on his face is the echo of hers. "Porom!" he cries, and then they're hugging, with no time inbetween.
"Ah," says the Elder, and he backs away from the scene.
Palom is babbling something into her breastbone and Porom takes a moment to bury her face in his hair, breathing in the familiar scent of sweaty boy and charred wood, the residue of his magic. She can't do much except pull him in closer, her lips pressing on his head in the kind of affection she never shows this brainless, ridiculous twit anywhere.
"I missed you," she breathes, and Palom goes silent for a few valuable moments.

I love the scents and tastes of magic here, the reason the Elder is able to reverse the petrification because he knows their magic, ugh, you are so good at this
