The re-emergence of soulbonding reminds me of the FF7 House from Internet lore circa 2002. It’s strange.

If i remember correctly the FF7 house all claimed to be “kin”, but its been a looooong time since I read that.

OH BOY BUDDY I COULD TALK ABOUT THE FF7 HOUSE AND WHY IT’S JUST BAD ON SO MANY LEVELS FOR A LONG TIME

But in a way, you’re both right. Soulbonding seemed to really be the only term used by… anyone involved, but the website documenting the event only lists a few of the actual soulbonds briefly on a list of names. For all intensive purposes, though, the context and language used does imply “kin”, but nobody may ever really be sure if Jen and Hojo are, well, Jen(ova) and Hojo.

IF YOU WANT ME TO GO INTO MORE DETAIL ABOUT WHY IT’S A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF HOW NOT TO EXPRESS KIN/SOULBOND STUFF JUST ASK ME I’VE READ THAT THING TOO MANY TIMES

PLEASE TELL ME ALL YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS SUBJECT I NEED THEM
