Good Afternoon, RedLeather!
It has been quite some time since my last post - you'll have to forgive me as it seems I am still alone in running this. Life became a little crazy and I personally am trying to finish a degree. I won't abandon this group. I am all ears for your thoughts and opinions as to what we should do and how to collaborate activities within the club. I am thinking of everyone here as we remain a club and family among the hardship of COVID-19. If you ever need support, you can surely find it here in RedLeather - especially with me, you can always DM me!
Darkness aside however, rejoice for within the past couple days or so, I am SURE you all are playing the Final Fantasy VII: Remake! It is finally in our possession and I hope you enjoy the game, please be sure to keep your posts spoiler free if you can help it. We are all excited to see where the Remake will go.
Keep Genesis and LOVELESS in your thoughts. I cannot wait to hear from everyone soon!
- Red
Good evening Red Leather!

My name is Red and I've been holding place for the other admins/founder who may or may not return and may or may not be present at any given time. I am so sorry to neglect this fandom. Personal issues arose and I, too, disappeared. That said, I do return properly. Please accept my apologies. This fandom and group is nothing without all of you. Please accept my extended gratitude for keeping this fandom alive as well as maintaining our club. Your contributions are so important! Please keep going! This club is a constant cycle of give and take so I need your help to maintain our progressive nature. As we finish out the year, I hope in the future I get to interact with each and every one of you. Let us maintain our safe haven of community. While we're at it, let us accept all potential Tumblr citizens as they deal with a heavy censorship crisis of their artistic endeavors. Give them a warm welcome should you see them.

For our new folks as reported previously in Midgar News:

Welcome to Red Leather, the group of crazy Genesis fangirls! <3;
Yes, we're that insane bunch of Genesis fangirls that you might remember from Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII. Recognize us? Yeah, of course you do.
Who could forget?
Well, we're still up and running, despite Genesis' reported disappearance. ShinRa denies his very existence, surprisingly. It's like even saying his name is forbidden, that company just calls him 'G' now. What a disgrace to dear Genesis...
Anyway, feel free to browse around! We're always welcoming new members, so check out the rest of this journal for details. We've got a few competitions running at different times of the year, along with wonderful submissions from our dedicated club members.
Red Leather is constantly getting larger, so take some time to get to know some of us fangirls here. We're all a lovely bunch, despite the fact that we're insane. -sweatdrop-
Anyway, I've got some business to attend to. Leading Red Leather isn't easy, lemme tell you! But we all live in hope that Genesis will return one day.

After all, in Genesis' own words...
'Even if the morrow is barren of promises, nothing shall forestall my return.'

That's all for now, sending all of the planet's blessings your way!

Hi Everyone,

Yikes, this is really plain without donations to be a super group...Genesis and everyone else will have to forgive us for the lack of flamboyance at the moment. Sorry we've been so quiet and dead lately! Some things had to get sorted out but now we're all good to go! If anyone had an expired submission, please resubmit them if you're interested.

Also, I will try to get in contact with the others so we can possibly host another contest. Ideas and so forth are welcome. I know you guys were looking forward to that and definitely asked about it.

Remember, the club rules are still in effect, read them first before asking questions. If you're not sure, we'll get back to you as soon as possible if you message us.

Thanks,

Red

Hello, lovely members of Red Leather! :iconlagenesisplz:

We apologize for the recent expired submissions; we've just made some adjustments to the gallery settings so that submissions only need one vote. Subsequently, there won't be any more unnecessary expirations.

Thank you all for submitting and sharing your beautiful fanworks!

Genesis Rhapsodos...?


For those of you who are unaware of Genesis, I shall now rid you of your ignorance~! Genesis Rhapsodos is the main antagonist from Crisis Core: Final Fantasy, serving as the instigator of many of events in the story. He takes great pride in himself and has suburb fighting skills that are said to be on par with Sephiroth during the beginning of Crisis Core. His choice of weapon is the rapier, and spends much time reading and researching the epic poem and play LOVELESS. He is partially based on Gackt Camui and voiced by him in Japanese, along with Oliver Quinn in English.

During the main course of the story Genesis goes AWOL from ShinRa and rebels against the company, after discovering his true origins. During this time he suffers from a genetic illness known as 'degradation' and bears a large black wing on his left shoulder. He is also able to create copies of himself.

The time has come, my friends

Hello everyone. Your invisible admin AutumnalBlep here.

Like Genesis waking up after three years of sleep, Red Leather is hopefully going to emerge from inactivity within the coming months. However, in order for this to happen, I need somehow who is willing to step up to the stage. I've been thinking about this for months and it's safe to say that I'm ready to pass this group on to more capable hands. A while ago I was probably the nuttiest Genesis fangirl around, but lately things have been dropping down, my fandom interests have been moving on, and I find I just don't have the same passion or interest these days. I still really like Genesis of course, but with university taking me away from deviantArt much of time, I really feel I owe it to you all to give this club a much, much better leader.

I'd also like to take the time to apologise for being such a pathetic leader in the first place. This group has been pretty much dead for the last two years, and that is entirely my fault since I'm quite bad at time management. I mean, sure, we've grown to over six hundred members, which is kind of amazing considering this club doesn't really do anything...

So, for anyone who is interested in becoming the Founder, please note me. Once I have found someone, I will step down into either a co-founder role or something lower, depending on how committed I think I can be in the future with maintenance. I'm happy to approve deviations and decide on contest winners and the like, but I cannot give my time to organise anything greater, apart from perhaps assisting on deciding on a contest theme.

I also have a final request, one that I hope can be respected, but I will understand if it becomes an issue. I would still like to keep this group family friendly, so I would really like if the rules could stay as they are: no mature content and hence no yaoi, as well as no explicit hetero stuff either. If this is outright impossible for anyone, I'm willing to compromise. But for now...I'd really like it to stay the way it is because that's the way Red Leather has been all this time...kinda why I made it in the first place, apart from finding like-minded people.

So that's my request. Anyway, I hope some of you are interested! It's been fun, guys!
