Final Fantasy VIII! Love of my life! I'm delighted that you're having a good time with these great disaster characters, and it's great to hear the kids enjoyed watching too.
Squall and Seifer have such an interesting relationship! In spite of (or because of?) the surface hostility of their dynamic, I'd say without hesitation that Seifer is the character Squall is closest to at the beginning of the game.
I was curious about your history with this game, because it sounds like you know the story well but haven't played it before, so I checked your FFVIII tag and discovered you'd previously experienced it through a Let's Play; that makes sense! In this quest, I also spotted these lines in this entry:
The fact that Ultimecia seduced Seifer into being her Knight with a combination of mind control and his foster mom's body. (yes I absolutely believe she slept with him in that body for maximal badwrong)
I went 'holy shit, this is the greatest idea ever,' checked the comments on that entry and cracked up to discover that this idea was actually the reason I originally subscribed to you back in 2019. My tastes haven't changed, evidently!
