Aya and Squall


Aya and Squall
Originally uploaded by texchan
So my dear friend Kitt sent this adorable Squall figure to me. I know nothing about Final Fantasy (any version), but I have decided that I love Squall. Not just "love", but LUV. Because of the big hunkin' sword. And the jewelry. And the boots. But most of all, because he SO looks like Aya. And, to prove it, here he is next to my much-beloved Aya plushie.

Aya: Dude, you really don't want to be in the Bish Closet. It's ... not a fun place. And I'm not sharing my Cheetos.
Squall: I'm not worried. I can handle it. I've got a big hunkin' sword, after all. And a lion belt buckle.
Aya: You know she only likes you because you look like me.
Squall: Do not.
Aya: Do so. Same glare. Same godly hair. Same sword-guy attitude. Leather clothes. It's freaking obvious.
Squall: Dude, you're a plushie. Your head is freaking HUGE.
Aya: So?
Squall: I don't have time for this. I'm bustin' outta this place.
Aya: Whatever. But you're not taking the Cheetos.

*Squeee!*

Gotta love angsty bishie guys bitchin' at each other over their bishi-ness!

Heeee! It's like ... Bitchy Bishies. *fangirl giggles*

(Yeah, I'm so easily amused. It's almost embarrassing. >.O)

That is a wonderful Squall figure. For your own sake though, don't play FF VIII and just enjoy the personality you give him. I assure you, he's much more interesting that way. ^_~

Oh,there's no danger of me ever playing the game. Or even wanting to. (I totally suck at video games. >.O)

Which is probably a good thing -- as I can just enjoy the very cute, snarky Squall that lives in my brain. Hee!

Trust me, that is much better than his normal personality.

*Squints really hard* hmmmmmmm….trrrrying to see it….errrm…… well he does have the gratuitous buckle thing going on….

(I always did approve of Squall’s fashion sense, heh.)

Well, I can probably only see it because I've never played the game -- or watched anything Final Fantasy-related. So I don't know the "real" Squall. This way, I can just imagine him as cute and a little snarky ... but in an adorable way.

I actually see more of a resemblance in their personalities than appearance, heh. Only in my opinion, Aya’s friendlier. Yep, I think Squall could actually out-brood him, believe it or not. I’m sure someone would argue with me though, lol.

[identity profile] tex-chan.livejournal.com 2010-07-12 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
I think there's more of a resemblance with Aya's Gluhen design than the Kapitel design. Although, as soon as I took the figure out of the package, I thought to myself: "Wow, he really does look like Aya." *_* Of course, I'm totally bizarre. *nervous laugh*

Still ...

Aya ... friendlier?

o_o

I think I'm afraid now.

(And the little reptilian part of my brain is insisting I write a crack-ish fanfiction on which Aya and Squall, for some reason, go on a mission together. And Yohji has to threaten to turn the car around and go home if they don't stop arguing. Fangirlism ... it's a disease, I tell 'ya. A disease. *nervous laugh*)

You betcha!!

I'm trying to picture Squall going out for ice cream to humor a high schooler, and I just can't see it! :-P

He'd be all 'Go 'way, you're ruining my awesome lone-wolf image!'

[identity profile] tex-chan.livejournal.com 2010-07-15 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
LOLz!! That made me laugh so hard. Plus, it made me think of that ridiculously silly shot of Aya sitting on the edge of the fountain staring at the ice cream cone like he was trying to figure out: 1. How the HELL he got there. and 2. What the HELL he was going to do with that ice cream. *snickers*

I AM NOT!!!

(Hee! *GLOMS* =D)

:P I couldn't resist. Squall is the Keanu Reeves of Final Fantasy, after all. And where there is Squall, there must be a Seifer reference!

LOLz!! =D

Lol!

And aww!

*laughs* That's Dissidia Squall. . . he's a bit less of an ass in that game. Plus he has to put up with boisterous people foisting weird good luck charms on him. . . so as hard as he tries, he can't be the "Typical Squall." I have that Squall figure too. . . I WAS trying for Cloud or the Warrior of Light . . . since they (Square Enix I mean) couldn't be bothered to make figures for Cecil and Golbez. . . *grump*

Now if only you could be corrupted into the BJDs. . . XD

Ah, well ... I have no intention of ever playing the game. I suck at video games, so I tend to avoid them like the plague. =P

I just think he's adorable. And adorably "Aya-esque". *fangirl snicker*

I think there is going to be a figure for Cecil. [livejournal.com profile] kmktr sent me some pics of it, but I'm not sure when it'll be available for sale.

SE released a set of chibi Trading Arts figures for Final Fantasy IV a year or two ago. It bugs me when they release Dissidia Trading Arts "volume 1," because 1 implies 2 or more. . . and then nothing for over a year. *sigh*

[identity profile] dhampir-ronin.livejournal.com 2010-07-18 12:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Geh heh. . . found him, by adding his name to my search and not just Dissidia. Now I'm wishing I had made more of an effort to get more of the vol. 1 figures, even though I don't really like Tidus, just to have a complete set.

[identity profile] tex-chan.livejournal.com 2010-07-18 01:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay! Glad you were able to find him. Maybe you can pick the vol. 1 ones you are missing at a good price now that vol. 2 is coming out. *hopes for the best*
