The best modders are those with singular vision, absolute purpose, and unyielding ambition. They are Promethean thought leaders who are not bound by the petty conventions of polite society or the dictates of the marketplace, but use every tool at hand to open up new frontiers of technology and culture.

Anyway, there's Aeris Gainsbro and Beefa.

The more discerning reader might notice that the classic Final Fantasy 7 characters have been modified to be a bit more muscular than usual. In fact, they're really muscular. Gulping down protein and hoisting dumbbells, the pair of muscle queens Seventh Heaven are seven-foot barbells.

Is this strictly fetish content for someone I'm writing about on this very popular gaming site?

The mod comes from an author named FudgeX02, who has special skills and, oh, tendencies, and is in fact part of a surprisingly large set of mods that basically turn various video game women into John Cena. In addition to Miss Gainsbro and Beefa, there's Ada Wong, the muscle-bound Street Fighter ladies, and the extremely "turn Yuffie into a bodybuilder" mod, Buffie. Yes, it's true. It certainly does.

Anyway, having tricked you into keeping these images burned into your brain until the day you die, I must say that it is the names, rather than the models themselves, that make these works of art the greatest works of art of our time. Beefy and Buffy are, frankly, hilarious. But you can't teach a pattern like Aeris Gaines Bro' that. Perfect job, FudgeX02, it is my privilege to live in the same era as you and your immortal art.

If you can't live a second without a shredded Aeris, you can see FudgeX02's entire body of work at Nexus Mods. I took a look at it and while none of the pictures are necessarily racy, it would be hard to explain to your boss unless you work in probably the coolest office on the planet. Some people don't like strong women.
