* RealitySubtext: Much of what was happening in Sephirothslave's life at the time when she was writing the story can be glimpsed through the lines: her strained relationship with her parents (conservative Catholics who were disturbed by her open interest in the occult and her insistence that the dreams in which she was meeting Sephiroth were real) and her desire to escape them, her own suicide attempt, the crush her friend Ian had on her, her growing interest in martial arts, her chronic depression and isolation and her frustration with school and boys.

Added DiffLines:

* AuthorPhobia: Julia shares her author's fear of needles and doctors. On top of that, Sephirothslave seems to have been uncomfortable with the idea of sexuality and despised boys as a teenager, leading her to project these traits onto her character.

Added DiffLines:

* TakeThat: Those familiar with the author's personal life at the time the story was being written (as glimpsed from her journals and comments) can recognize that Sephirothslave inserted her parents in her story (keeping their real names) and portrayed them as horriblly abusive, especially her father, only to have them humiliated and in her father's case, extremely injured by Sephiroth.
**Aerith and Cloud are portrayed as universally disliked, a choice fueled by Sephirothslave's extreme dislike of them.

* EscapistCharacter: In spite of the misfortunes that befall Julia Nakahamou, she is undeniably an escapist character for her author. Through Julia, Sephirothslave escapes her parents (with whom she admitted to having a tense and complicated relationship as a result of her occult interests) and gets revenge on them, enters into a relationship with Sephiroth, moves in with him in a large mansion and ultimately marries him in a lavish ceremony and gives birth to his child. She also becomes a highly successful, famous and well-paid military commander.

* CatharsisFactor: The author admitted that writing the story was a way of venting her hatred of her parents and of characters such as Hojo and Jenova.

non-ymmv and the irony example is misuse


* {{Irony}}: The song playing at Sephiroth and Julia's wedding is "Toki Ni Ai Wa", from the anime film Adolescence of Utena. The Utena series is well known for its homoerotic undertones, which is especially ironic since Sephirothslave displayed blatant signs of homophobia in her writing.



* TakeThat: Her portrayal of her parents in her story has the distinct flavor of revenge, with Sephirothslave taking her frustrations out on her parents by having them punished and eliminated from her life.
** The same can be said of her portrayal of any character that she did not like, especially Cloud and Aerith.

* MarySue: Julia, in spades. Despite how monstrous she is, the text clearly paints her in a positive light and we are supposed to sympathize with her.
** BlackHoleSue: Everybody obsesses over Julia. Probably the biggest example is Yuffie, who appears to be Sephiroth's closest friend. She obsesses about how much Sephiroth should be with Julia instead of Laura, despite him being perfectly happy in his relationship.
** GodModeSue: Julia has some of the most powerful magic in the world, and is physically able to keep up with super-human Sephiroth, surpassing everybody else in her class. No explanation on where she got these powers.
** JerkSue: The number of people Julia is nice to can be counted on one hand. At one point she says she has no problems killing people, and this is treated as a virtue.
** MaryTzu: Julia allegedly is a tactical genius. So is Sephiroth.
** RelationshipSue: With Sephiroth, obviously.
** SympatheticSue: Has tons of drama so that we're supposed to feel sorry for her.

Yes they do. Please read the Unfortunate Implications page.


* UnfortunateImplications: Julia claims that her (abusive) biological father drove her gothic, which suggests that being Goth is a consequence of abuse.
** Tseng saying that "suicides are no one's fault but the one who died" when trying to assure Sephiroth that he was not responsible for Laura killing herself. Made worse by the fact that Tseng (a teacher and a character portrayed by the author in a positive light) knows nothing about the circumstances of the girl's death.
** There are some instances in the stories which can be interpreted as homophobia:
*** Julia reacts to the suggestion that she might be gay as if it were a terrible insult. In fact,one of the biggest changes in the short lived rewrite attempt was her going ballistic when Reno calls her a dyke.
*** Rufus Shinra is portrayed as a stereotypical, lust-filled homosexual with no sense of personal space. Even worse, his own father tells Sephiroth and Julia that they feel more like his children to him than the flamboyant Rufus.

** Despite being nice and friendly, Aerith Gainsborough receives the same treatment from the other characters and the author. She is bullied twice by Reno by having ink splashed all over her, one time at school and the other time during homecoming and has other characters call her ugly and be exasperated with her for no discernable reason at all. In fact, when Rude finds out that she'll be in a play, he says he won't waste money to see it. Their negative attitudes are never explained through anything but the author's own virulent dislike of her.

Their negative attitudes are never explained through anything but the author's own virulent dislike of her. In the one scene she has where she actually does anything and has lines, she is warm and friendly to Sephiroth, helping him pick out the best flowers to give to Julia at the hospital. Despite being nothing but helpful, the moment they leave, Sephiroth berates Yuffie for forcing him to spend time with Aerith and acts like the entire experience was pure torture.

* NightmareFuel: Julia's cold blooded torture of her female opponents is quite chilling to read. Perhaps even more disturbing is Sephiroth's complete agreement with her heinous acts and their shared perspective that torturing someone and leaving her to bleed to death is nothing more than payback for her [[DisproportionateRetribution breaking Julia's sword.]]
* NightmareRetardant: Jenova taking over Sephiroth's body and raping Julia and the few other scenes connected to the event are this. Not helped by the fact that Julia gets over the rape in two days and continues as if nothing happened.
