I need help...

Apr 09, 2008 02:18

Y'all, I am so upset. I've been reading other Tin Man pairings, some of which are just fine with me, but I have to confess: I read a Cain/DG story earlier tonight, and I liked it. I mean, I'm not dissing on people who follow that ship or anything, I just never thought I could enjoy the two of them together. I feel like I'm cheating on Adora and ( Read more... )

Yay! Updates are always good...

It may be a sign of how braindead I am at the moment, but, which fic is it?

Oh, of course! Yes, you do need to update that - can't wait!

eleanor_ariail April 9 2008, 13:22:17 UTC

Oh, and the other thing that made me sad - I was watching the DVD last night, cause it's been a while, and I noticed for the first time that DG is totally laying on Cain's coat about 45 min in on the second part.

Even canon is cheating on Glitch.

Oh that hussy! Then again I think the real OTPs of Tin man are Glitch/his coat and Cain/his hat so I may allow it. If she were, say, snuggling the hat it may be an issue. Yeah. *grasping at straws*

eleanor_ariail April 9 2008, 15:50:48 UTC

LOL That's true... DG touching Cain's hat at all would be like - I don't know, grabbing his crotch or something. Glitch, on the other hand, gets to hold Cain's hat at least twice that I can think of, but that's okay with me, because for some reason Glitch/Cain is completely acceptable to me in a way that Cain/DG will never be. *Love your shipping preferences by the way!*

...the actual keyword for that icon is "Glitch/Me omg!" because I think at the end of the day that's what I'm getting at *fangirls like a crazy person*

Ahem, yes. Omnishipping is a beautiful thing.

Here, have five ramblings of squee:

1. The constant, perpetual, never-ending TOUCHING. One or the other seems to be always putting hand to arm or shoulder or back, not to mention the hugs. And at the end, with the witch defeated, who's the first to give up and just glomp DG? Oh yeah, that'd be Glitch.

2. RocketShoes' brain-meltingly glorious, adorable fanart. And that's not even getting me started on wee!DG-and-Ambrose3. He's twice her age and probably advised someone on how to change her diapers. Neither of them really remember that for assorted reasons, but it's there and is a challenge for any writer to make work. Built-in potential angst ( ... )

Agreed totally!

Also Cain was treating DG like a kid and called her kid through most of the series. Glitch never once uttered a 'kid' remark once and his bond to her was deeper than Cain because they had probably shared a friendship when she was a child, but since neither remembers that can't make it awkward.

I just honestly know that Cain is still very dedicated to his wife and DG sympathizes but she's nothing but a kid to him.

I will never, ship Cain/DG because of it doesn't work for me. And I'm extremely sadden that more than half the fandom goes for it when it goes against the wishes of Neil himself.

Thank you so much! This is a great list! Now I have to ask my grandmother if she ships Dorothy/Scarecrow. Although, knowing her, she probably thinks that Dorothy should have just left all the guys by the side of the road (and probably dumped Toto off with one of them too) so she could just take care of business by herself. (She's a bit of a crotchety man-hater.)

Oh my goodness, I totally want to write #3! Although what I'm thinking of isn't angsty...

Squee indeed, I think I'm falling in love again! :D

1. It's the only ship I can sail on in this fandom (aside from Adora and Wyatt but not everyone considers canon relationships 'ships,' so ( ... )

I'll be honest - when I found out Glitch knew DG as a kid, I was grossed out. It was like Lucy/Tumnus - I couldn't see it happening. But because Glitch/Ambrose hadn't seen DG for so many years, and he had lost his brain, DG would most certainly be like a completely different person to him, separate from the DG he knew back then ( ... )
