Ever wondered about the etemology of the Iifa tree? Or, if you were like me and misread it as 'Lifa' for ages, possibly not.

Turns out it may be based on the semi mythical city Ife, home of the Youruba people in Nigeria. So what does a city in Africa have to do with the Iifa tree, guardian of souls? Aside from Africa being the cradle of humanity and the parallels you can draw from that the myth surrounding Ife bears an uncanny resemblance to Zidane and Kuja's story.

The following is paraphrased from the wiki article as it's a nice sumary:

The supreme god [Garland] sets Obatala [Kuja] the task of creating the earth [preparing Gaia for soul transfer]. On the way Obatala finds some wine and gets drunk, remeniscant of Garland's rejection of Kuja because of his volatile and headstrong personality. The supreme god then sends the younger sibling [Zidane] to fulfill the task. The younger sibling then descends from the heavens though not quite as roughly as Kuja's dumping of the baby Zidane of the Invincible. This is where the parallels mostly end. The younger sibling succeeds in creating the earth. However, because of his success and Obatala's failiure there is lingering resentment between the two, much like how Kuja feels towards Zidane.

And where's the tree in this story? Once the land was formed the younger sibling planted a great tree on the spot where the land first formed.




Side note. I've got work again but I'm very busy until the end of the month with both moving house and working on a convention. Hopefully after that I'll get onto organizing another contest.

:blackrose: Welcome to the Kuja fan club :blackrose:

:blackrose:Why? because Kuja is a wonderful character, and although he has a lot of fans, he was lacking a club.

Peace is but a shadow of death,
Desperate to forget its painful past...
Though we hope for promising years
After shedding a thousand tears,
Yesterday's sorrow constantly nears.
And while the moon still shines blue,
By dawn, it will turn to scarlet hue.

I still remember how Kuja spammed on my party with Flare Star (that was hard to resist). Yet his my favorite villain (or maybe even character) in the entire series.

It has been so long since I versed Trance Kuja. Unfortunately my disc 4 is screwed up.

That sucks.

Not as bad as my brother giving our/my copies of FFX and XII to his mate because our PS2 broke. Now I'll never beat the last Dark Aeons or get to Yiazmat.

I don't actually do cross-group advertising of contests. It's mainly because I find that stuff anoying when it shows up in my inbox. As for prizes try asking `touchedvenus for a feature for the winners. They are always kind enough to give features for this club's contests.

hello, there, I recently created a fanclub dedicated Vaan from ff12 since noone else bothered to do so

here is said group :iconvaan-fc:

so may we please affiliate?

also, is it all right if you could mention this fanclub in your next blog?

Vaan doesn't get that much attention like cloud and squall you see so i want to spread this around

please and thank you!

I've sent the affiliation request. I update the blogs very infrequently and, unless something comes up, I doubt the next update will be until the middle of the year.
