Velvet Goldmine...
okay, so calichan and i were introducing cbpbunny and aten_ra to the joys of Velvet Goldmine a couple of days ago, so it's been on my mind since then. and i remember that after i first watched it that i went looking for fanfic and was disappointed by the lack of Arthur/Curt. well, just a few minutes ago, i was looking for VG fic again and pretty much found what i had found before. ::pauses:: although, i did find a trilogy that i had read before that imho is the best Arthur/Curt out there. (you can find it through here => author's profile) i'm not saying by any means that it's perfect but beggars can't be choosers and all that mess.
anyway, what was the point of this? oh right. so after we finished watching the movie, we were explaining things to cbpbunny and aten_ra and swapping theories on the movie. well, calichan agreed with me that Arthur/Curt is OTP for VG. so if two individuals such as ourselves can pick up on that, why do most people focus on the very unhealthy relationship of Brian/Curt and try and to make it fluffy? THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX THAT MESS. IT IS PERMANENTLY SCREWED. calichan hit the nail on the head when she said that Brian totally idolized Curt and that fucks up any relationship, and i was also correct when i said that Brian was a fucking manipulative bastard. that will also fuck up a relationship. (and i'm not saying that Brian was totally at fault in the relationship) so what does that leave us with? an impossible relationship. unless you make Brian totally OOC it will not be fluffy. i will admit that there is an exception to this rule, though. if you set the fic during their trip and avoid foreshadowing, you can have Brian/Curt fluff. otherwise, it's simply ridiculous.
i would like to see more Arthur/Curt out there. and if anyone knows where to find some right now, i'd appreciate a link. ::sigh:: however, it seems pretty unlikely that will occur. it's like the delicious Raiden/Johnny Cage OTP from MK. a few fics - and by few i mean 4 - and that's it! these should be larger fandoms. ::scowl:: i have a plot bunny for a J/R fic that is patiently waiting for me to finish something before springing on me in rabid style. maybe i could come up with something plausible for VG, but i really don't have time to do anything of the sort right now.
