Shippers

And now I'm rambling because I'm having a hard time writing (reference 'current mood' on previous post).

So I'm thinking about my last entry and since I haven't said it yet because I'm a pussy afraid to offend people, I figure it's time I say it now. Cause I can say whatever I want in my own journal

lulz. you totally can't mess with ppl and their ships. The fangirls. They are scary. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that there really is no logic to fandom. It's like, politics tend to be about policies and solid data can be presented and argued. Religion is about faith and culture and all kinds of other things that can be discussed intelligently, but fandom. It's like "clearly these two fictional characters were destined to be together and I've come to this determination based on my interpretation of a series of events that never actually took place or my personal read of their personalities," only not even that logical. A lot of people just go for gut reactions and if you mess with that, you might as well be trying to like...murder kittens at Disneyland or something. It's an offense punishable by...lots of net harassment? And, c'mon now, we all know how irritating that would be.

Dear lord, I know. Like my love for CloudxRiku? As far I know, they've never even met each other. But one day working on PRE-WRITING for a RikuxSora (the story that became 100 Steps to Somewhere), I went, "Hey, wouldn't that be cool if Riku met Cloud while he was working for Maleficent and Cloud was working for Hades."

Yeah, I totally feel you on the unhealthy obsessions. I cannot place exactly why, but but omg Sora. and whenever I find out that ppl don't like Sora, it's like...it's like I don't know...it makes me sad. It's like someone just canceled Christmas or something. And MY irrationally irksome pairing, oddly enough, is Sora with Kairi. I don't know...I just don't feel her character is strong enough as is to hold a candle to him. there is potential there, but...I get annoyed when I see it. I feel like they would be the most boring couple in the world because they are far too similar. Yet I'm pretty okay with Sora and Namine? How does that make sense?

But yeah, ships are like opinions. No need to apologize about 'em right? And I've seen Zack paired with some random ppl lately, ever since Crisis Core I think. There's a series of Zack/Sora short-shots(my new word for those drabbly ficclet things that aren't REALLY drabbles) and yeah...I find it hard seeing Zack paired with anyone...because I don't know enough about him. *shrug*

I so get what you mean about the Sora and Kairi. But I often feel like that about 'real' canon pairings. They're boring. Maybe because they're canon. Maybe because we are supposed to like them together just because the game makers say so. I don't know. But, yeah, Sora and Kairi are boring. Kairi is who I let Sora date when I don't feel like going into his relationship in my story. I'm like, "There, Sora and Kairi! No need to explain! Yay

yeah, I'll admit, that Zack/Sora business threw me for a loop, too, but I guess it's the way of this fandom. Since crossover is canon, anything goes!

I find that I rather enjoy seeing what people do with Sora and Leon together. It's kind of awesome sauce, and a nice alternative for when the RiSo well runs dry as is the trend these days ;__;

And my guess for why people don't like Sora would be that he's too likable? I mean he is the generic hero, and if you take things at face value, I guess he could be construed as bland...but I tend to WAY over analyze things. I mean people sometimes take positivity for granted. It takes all kinds of strength to stay positive in bad situations, and that's why I love him. Strength of will and strength of character but still all the flaws of youth. How can you go wrong?!
