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

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." Click.

"Hmm...I can do something with that."

This is probably because I like Cloud more than is probably healthy. I used to (like, when I got this idea into my head) like Riku more. So I put them together. And now it's canon in my head, and I guess it works for my interpretation of their personalities. I don't know...

I love that 'murder kittens at Disneyland.' So perfectly described.

I don't want to be mean about other peoples' ships. I respect everyone's right to ship whatever they choose. And most of the time it doesn't bother. Its just certain ships get under my skin. Some more than others.

And I think I had to bitch about the LeonxRiku ship because it irks me in a way that's like Chinese water torture. I don't outright despise it; it just annoys me. Which is sometimes worse than outright hate.

Like I won't write Leon with Zack no matter how many times people ask for it. It's not going to happen in my story. Because I think it makes no sense.

But I need to stop again before I start bitching about other things. And as I said, then I'll really piss someone off.

You are so right that fandom is illogical. Maybe that's why its so fun.

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!"

I don't know how people can not like Sora, either. I don't write about him too much because he's Sora, you know (no, you wouldn't). He's so cute and full of fluff and stuff that I want to pinch his cheeks, give him cookies, and tell him to never do bad things or he'll make me cry. He likes Winnie the Pooh for eff's sakes. Cloud and Riku'll beat themselves up no matter what I do to them, so I can make the most happy or terrible things happen to them and they'll be miserable. Which, I suppose, works for my comedic efforts.

Where did Zack/Sora come from? How does that make sense? Why is Zack part of the KH universe now? I know I shoved him in there, but it was for shits and giggles (and to take up some of that gaping hole I had in Cloud's storyline).

Zack/Sora. What is the world coming to?

But maybe I'm upset because I heart LeonxSora. How should I know?

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?!
