“I Have Love In Me The Likes Of Which You Can Scarcely Imagine And Rage The Likes Of Which You Would

"Behave."

If Squall embodied ice, Zell personified fire. Everything seemed to roll effortlessly off Squall's back with indifference in contrast to Zell who forever seemed incapable of that indifference. He was as subtle as a bull in a China store and just as reckless as one.

Talking poorly about SeeD was a sure fire way to get on Zell's bad side. With Squall's pointed and sharp instruction, Zell's inhaled sharply and his tightened fist attempted to relax. The offender should be thanking his new birthday Squall was present.

"Should've let me lay 'em out," Zell grumbled the moment they were out of earshot.

zell got so pissed at irvine being a creep then having the nerve to tell THEM to leave HIM be when he's called out on it that he punched the floor of the train

....

and made the train vibrate. to the point they made an announcement about said vibration and checked for damages.

i'm remembering why i loved zell's moments so much

started ffviii. selphie is everything to me. what the hell was that girl

Zell facts.

He's an abrasive, loud, and short-tempered guy that's honestly always ready to get down for violence -

But with Squall he's a fucking puppy by almost no exaggeration. Squall tells him to chill, Zell .... tones himself down to a really impressive degree. like he's still pissed but he listens to Squall's leadership.

Squall's an ass to him? Zell is LITERALLY. COMPLETELY. UNEFFECTED. Just brushes it off like nothing happened. Admires Squall too much to take it personal and get pissed. Other people? Probably going to get bitten at.

Squall just keeps him on a leash by proxy within the game and I find it hilarious, but it also shows one - how much Zell really likes the dude, but two, how much he RESPECTS him that he follows his instruction when it's given.

Ugh I know I wrote examples but that's lost to time. Why can't i have everyone in my party so I don't miss any dialogue?!

"OH HELL NO!" Zell proceeds to dramatically gag. "M'fucker's going to make my lose my LUNCH. Nasty ass." He almost says he'll deck him if he suggests that again. This time he holds himself back ... because Seifer would. Then he'd have to punch him.

.... Then again-

"Get your mind out of the gutter, chicken-wuss. I'm not that into you."

I have to say I'm with Zell on this one...😂

@visionaryanarchist seifer vc: a chicken-looking guy? tsk. hardly.

"THE FUCK?! YOU'RE STILL ON THAT PLAYGROUND SHIT?!"

"See, it's when you say unhinged crap like that that makes you look like a total psycho."

So really, tools was the only thing stopping her after all. "Probably would'a kidnapped a few more to make a real suit outta it if y'could've.."

"For the record, I was kidding about skinning that poor little guy!"

"...I didn't have the right tools to do it properly. And I'd barely be able to wear 'im as a hoodie even if I did."
