FINAL FANTASY KISSING BATTLE 2023: FASHIONABLY LATE

[seventhe]

murderstomps into the lecture three days late with starbucks what's UP CHUCKLEFUCKS it's time for your favorite kissy event of the year: Final Fantasy Kiss Battle 2023 is a GOOOOO!

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)"
  
  • "Eiko & Vivi, friendship, G"
  • "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!

HI ITS SEV

[seventhe]

I'm Sev, I'm old, and I'm here for the meme.

I've played nearly all the FF games. favorites remain IV and VI, with soft spots for VIII, X, XII, Tactics, and Type-0.

I like slightly feral women (Rydia, Terra), or controlled women that might go feral at the slightest breeze (Quistis, Ashe, Celes). I like my men sarcastic and snarky and a bit done with the world (Balthier, Sazh, Edge) or just a bit stupid (Laguna my beloved). I also have a soft spot for precocious young boy-kings (LARSA MY BOY).

I'm also active right now in Good Omens, The Witcher, OFMD, Marvel/MCU, and Detroit Become Human, my new and slightly shameful beloved. Talk to me about Connor.
