I don't wanna be your other half I believe that one and one make two
Working on my autobiography. Should probably turn off Fight Club, because as much as I like to think that movies as background noise works, it doesn't. I keep getting sidetracked by the pretty. Which randomly reminded me of thinking about pairings, namely Simon/Kaylee from Firefly (which had a whole bunch of episodes on SciFi Channel today. It was so exciting.)
Mostly, I'm intrigued by why Simon/Kaylee works. I mean, besides the pretty. Because they have such different personalities, and it's so easy to see Simon as just pining for going back to the Core, and Kaylee just wanting the romantic fairytale, but not quite fitting in. I'd like to think it works, but there enough evidence in the show (and the added tensions in the movie, which just ups all the contrasts between Simon and River and the crew) that I could really see it going either way. The same argument, with some refinements, could be made for Mal/Inara too, I feel. This depends, of course, on the way the author sees it, how they add up all the moments in canon to some deeper motivation. That's the fun part, I guess. Doing the math.
Anyone's thoughts on the subject would be great; especially those that help me refine my ideas about the relationships for my fic (which I WILL finish, as soon as I write thie damn autobiography).
Have exchanged Fight Club for Evita, which I've seen more times and will ignore easier. Excellent.
