Final Fantasy might be good at a lot of things - magical storytelling, bombastic action, fascinating characters - but it's not very good at avoiding fan faction. To be fair, nobody's safe.
There was no doubt that the characters of the newest instalment of the franchise would be manhandled to perform lewd acts on each other, much like two Barbie dolls smashed together repeatedly. Still, it crept out of the woodwork pretty quickly. The devil works hard, but Wattpad writers work harder.
And as it turns out, Clive himself is all over it. The hero of Final Fantasy 16 was always destined to this fate, but did you know Clive reads your thirsty and sometimes NSFW fan fiction?
Final Fantasy 16's Clive knows about your smutty fan fiction
This is what happens, you dirty dogs. It looks as though the voice actor for Final Fantasy 16's Clive has finally stumbled upon the naughtiest of fan fiction when it comes to the game, as he has revealed on Twitter.
In a very vague and succinct tweet, actor Ben Starr writes, "Had jet lag. Read fan fiction." followed by an emoji that pretty well describes how he feels about it. He doesn't give away much more than that, but we can only imagine what he's been reading since the fantasy epic was released.
To be fair, it was only a matter of time before Starr found this fan fiction, as sexy, aggressive, anime boys in video games never stay safe from smut for long. We've seen it time and again, with Rule 34 coming into full effect with everything from Final Fantasy to Resident Evil.
Fans react to Clive reading Clive smut
Fans have quickly stormed the replies of the original tweet to share both their love for the fan fiction, and their disgust in knowing that Clive himself has actually read it.
One joked, "Ty for your performance! Amazing job! ….ummm…..hope you were able to sleep after that lol," while another asked "When you gonna do a live reading of said fan fiction?" A third implored, "Don't be shy. Show us the links." Unfortunately for some, Starr isn't willing to share.
We bet hearing Starr read Clive fan fiction would be a popular YouTube series. This is a lesson learned - that writing fan fiction gets you shouted out by the actors of the characters you're putting in compromising situations. Keep it up, smut writers, you're killing it.
