“When people come to you to establish a boundary or a need or to express hurt feelings, that’s a compliment, not an attack. That is them wanting to develop the relationship and trusting you to listen and care to do better. And no matter how sad you are about accidentally hurting them, it’s a GOOD thing that they cared to have a hard conversation with you”

send me a ship and a number and i’ll tell you:

10. what tv shows they watch together, and which ones they hide from the other

ok so this one admittedly took me a while because… i don’t ship these two romantically. at all. i can maybe see them eventually being assigned on missions together for the wro postcanon? and getting along like a house on fire (read: constantly arguing and driving each other up the wall as a recreational pastime), but it would still be as casual friends (who constantly try to steal each other’s shit). at least once they get past the whole part where uh. shinra committed genocide against yuffie’s country and stuff.

anyways. together, they’ll watch shitty reality tv, b-list horror films, sitcoms with canned laugh tracks– anything where they can watch ironically and egg the people onscreen on. their friendship is more for shooting the shit together; neither of them are exactly the type for introspective navel-gazing

on her own, yuffie likes watching long-running tokusatsu series. or whatever the ff7 ‘verse equivalent of things like kamen rider or ultraman would be. she gets mad when reno makes fun of the practical effects so she prefers watching them alone. she was also a huge fan of magical girls as a little kid and never really grew out of it (see: how she introduces herself in rebirth), although she gets embarrassed and refuses to admit it she still watches it.

reno will watch cheesy romance a la hallmark movies and get very emotional over them. only rude is allowed to witness that (and maybe share a pair of sunglasses if reno needs them). rude is a bro.
