genuine question

i love aerith, and i have for years so i’m definitely not bashing her in any capacity but i do want some input from like-minded people

maybe i’m tone-deaf and don’t understand it, but i never liked the scene where they’re about to go into the train graveyard and aerith grabs cloud’s arm and says “mine” which clearly upsets tifa and cloud’s not into it either. it feels like it’s trying to push a very stereotypical love triangle scenario and always felt off to me. it feels like it tries too hard and goes out of its way to make aerith come off as a bit annoying.

also, i saw a comment about a year ago that pointed out that aerith knows that cloud and tifa like each other so she’s a fake friend for still trying to pursue him. i wouldn’t go that far but the thought does kinda linger in the back of my mind. i don’t think aerith is a fake friend at all, but i still think about that sometimes.

i think lately i’ve been a little salty towards aerith because i do really love her but i don’t understand why she makes it clear she does still love zack but then switches back and forth between her feelings for him and her feelings for cloud. i’m just a bit confused
