[ficlet] not a dreamer

Disclaimer: I don't own a thing.

Rating: R (for profanity).

Warning(s): impromptu, so not the best writing ever. A bit heavy on the profanity (this is Revy we're talking about), and there's a conscious discrepancy between the language in the beginning and when the POV directly switches to Revy. Heavy brackets abuse -- you have been warned.

Whoa, this is Revy indeed<333 Wondeful!

They are a great pairing.

Revy shows glimpses of nearly vulnerability, and then goes smiling like Alucard and shooting people ♥

I've only watched first season, but I looove that scene in which Rock and Revy knock off noodles and have a fight and she nearly shoots him. I think he really stood up to her that time.

I think it would be interesting if Rock actually had his way - because I think that he can top. Especially if Revy called him a wuss beforehands.

LOL, I want Revy to insult Rock on purpose to make him top hard. That's sort of thing she'd secretly enjoy, but never admit it.

Also, pillow talk:

Rock: Revy, how are you? (or something equally considerate)

Revy: *snorts, sound asleep*

[transient_words]

I think Revy is a lot of fun to write: more dynamic and real than a lot of other characters out there. I'd say this for Rock too.

They contemplate each other -- he's her rock (lol) and anchor, and she enrages and encourages him in a way ... other people don't.

She's quite vulnerable, deep down. I don't think she's a tragic heroine, but there are definitely flashes of her being a bit of a ticking time bomb. Her unfuelled aggression is a huge warning sign.

I read the manga XD. And own the anime, incidentally. That scene made me think of Rock and Revy to be one of sexiest onscreen anime couples ever -- the way they just ... bring out these emotions in each other is ... wow.

He would top. He could. I mean, he's not a wuss; he's a non-action guy, yes, but dangerously shrewd and intelligent. He could top her and would do it.

[shirogiku]

Gosh, when Revy is on a rampage, it's scary - she just doesn't know how to stop.

Actually, what really appeals to me is that the show is full of tough, kickass scary female heroines somehow managing not to cheapen them with fanservice.

Yes, we constantly get glimpses of Revy's nether regions, but she is like a caveman about it - yes, I wear those sexy shorts, so what?

I wasn't expecting Rock to turn out the way he is - he is definitely resourceful and dangerous in his own way.

They have what I like to see in pairings: like you said, they invoke something in each other that no one else does.

[transient_words]

No, she doesn't. That's why it's good she has Dutch (who knows when to stop) and Rock to be ... her moral guidance.

Yes, that really appeals to me too. They are scary, sexy and definitely not just there for Male Gaze TM.

LOOOL. I actually imagine that she doesn't shave herself. Or pluck her eyebrows. Or do any of that lady stuff XD. She's quite a tomboy. Hmm, maybe she does shave her legs, but I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't o.0

The manga does have him turn out to be darker eventually. He's getting corrupted, bit by bit.

Hmm, yes <3.

/joke

[shirogiku]

Balalaika ftw!

I don't think Revy shaves, b/c it can't be done with a gunXD But not everyone needs to, anyway. Maybe, she's lucky.

Revy would get angry and violent and wanting to kill someone before she's finished pucking her eyebrows - so she might have tried once and never again?

I'll definitely read the manga.

Re: /joke

[transient_words]

LOOOOL <333

Shaving with a gun. 0.o Gave me weird mental images. o.0 I do think she is: she has a killer body, even though she drinks lots of alcohol and eats pizza. XD

Orz. She'd destroy the damned thing! And then go off on a rampage.

I actually think the anime is better, but the manga is much further than the anime XD

Re:

[shirogiku]

Revy and CC would have an epic fight over pizza - imagine thatXD CC only gets serious over pizza.

Well, unlike CC, Revy actually has a very active lifestyle, so she needs those calories~~

LOL, half of the city got obliterated because Revy had decided to preen herself for her "date" with Rock

Re:

[transient_words]

Oh God. C.C and Revy would o.0. Scary thing is that C.C is a good shot herself -- definitely skilled in that arena.

She does! I think she's quite a physical person too -- not someone who lounges about a lot.

And then she whacks Rock over the head and says it's his fault. Poor guy

[shirogiku]

Of course it's all Rock's fault! Thus, he gets another black eye to his collection.

Revy's reaction to Lelouch and his antics??? XD
the face she'd maaaake at him and the cuss words

Lelouch has no idea what's a real action gun girl. He needs to learn for educational purposes.

[transient_words]

He might just get off -- no, I think he might just ... tell her that she doesn't have to shave for him cause he likes her the way she is <3.

http://transient-words.livejournal.com/73243.html?thread=742427#t742427 --> LOOLZ. Her reaction to Lelouch.

I think he'd die before he'd learn anything.

[shirogiku]

Aww, Rock, you sweetheart ♥ He'd totally say that!

LOLOLOL, bloody brilliant, that letter!

Actually, when Revy says: "(Love hurts, you know? And some people just love pain)." -> she is spot on. That indeed would be the best approach with Suzaku. Revy knows what she's advising;)

[transient_words]

He's really sweet and kind. But with a spine!

TROLLOL. I enjoy getting into Revy's head. Too much maybe, orz.

Incidentally, I think she hit the nail on the head without intending to. Just being insightful in her own reckless way.

[shirogiku]

There's another explanation: you again were thinking about Suzaku too much when writing that:p

Revy has her moments of spectacular insightfulness, which always seem totally accidentalXD

I also like Dutch and Benny. The entire team is cool.

The Bloodhound Meido was so reminiscent of Meiryn from Kuroshitsuji, though. When she went "Bochchan" I had a strong moment of deja vu.

[transient_words]

I think of Suzaku? How DARE YOU? The insinuation insults my -- ah, whatever :P

She's awesome like that. She doesn't even have to try!

I think there should be gen fic surrounding the crew. It's just that awesome.

YEEES YEEEEES

[shirogiku]

Right. And the man on our icons never thinks of Subaru-kun either. And he didn't compile a chart of Subaru-kun's reactions to his advances. Which Subaru found when he was rummaging through Seishirou's drawers 10 years later.

Besides that, MTE everything;)

Using a Seishirou!icon was a bad idea;)

[transient_words]

Of course, he doesn't. The whole bet was just a product of boredom and Setsuka (her ghost!) telling him to be more 'active' (cause penguins good friends do not make). That chart was just a mathematical deduction to show how 9 times out of ten Subaru did blush and that to trigger of such a reaction, you needed to stimulate him thus accordingly (rubbish academia! I can do it! o.0)

XDD

It was!
