A very muscular Tifa from modded Final Fantasy 7 Remake.

Eagle-eyed readers might notice that these modded-up iterations of the classic Final Fantasy 7 characters are a little more muscular than usual. In fact, they’re positively jacked. A pair of protein-swilling, dumbbell-curling muscle queens whose Seventh Heaven is a seven-foot barbell.

The mods come from an author named FudgeX02, a person of particular skills and, ah, inclinations, and are actually part of an alarmingly large suite of mods that turn various videogame women into basically John Cena. Alongside Miss Gainsbro and Beefa, we’ve gotswole Ada Wong, various even more outlandishly muscular Street Fighter ladies, and—saving the best for last—Buffie, which prosaically describes itself as a mod which “Turns Yuffie into a bodybuilder.” It sure does, gang. It sure does.

A muscular Yuffie from modded Final Fantasy 7 Remake.

Anyway, now that I’ve tricked you into hosting those images in your brain until the day you die, I have to say it’s the names, rather than the models themselves, that truly push me into thinking these are some of the greatest artworks of the modern era. Beefa and Buffie are, frankly, hilarious. But Aerith Gains Bro? You can’t teach patter like that. Flawless work, FudgeX02, it’s my privilege to live at the same time as you and your immortal art.

If you can’t bear to live a second longer without shredded Aerith in your life, you can findFudgeX02’s entire oeuvreon Nexus Mods. I’ve gone through them and, while none of the pictures are necessarily risqué, they probably would be difficult to explain to your boss unless you work in the coolest office on Earth. Some people just can’t handle strong women.
