*insert pairing here* =/= fluff.

[whitepawn_alice]

(Disclaimer: This rant is in now way directed towards anyone in particular~, but it was set off by a YouTube video with Axel promising to protect and care for Naminé while keeping her in his heart.)

Please please PLEASE stop making fluff for pairings that fluff doesn't work for.

Axel and Naminé? Axel isn't going to be cute and cuddly, and if he

IAWTP D:

I think what it is is people equate romance with it being fluffy, and not really exploring or knowing there are other kinds of romances that aren't "wuv u kissy wissy!!11".

There's also what's fluffy to one person might not be fluffy to another to consider. "Romance" is a pretty broad topic with 928734 interpretations.

Axel/Larxene fluff I never understood. Ever

[whitepawn_alice]

Yeah, I suppose fluff and romance is up to one person to decide what it means to them...

Maybe it's just the person unwilling to write Larxene In-Character...Or maybe they just don't know how to write non-fluff. Still very very wrong, regardless.

[princealia]

That's why I don't understand Axel/Larxene fluff XD. Just....WUT? I just have a hard time seeing Larxene as being fluffy in the conventional sense of the word without it being her lying her ass off. I can see her being somewhat...romantic or...something, but I just know her going "teehee" isn't "teehee I love you :D", but "teehee I just put a shitload of arscenic in your drink and you have 10 minutes to live :D".

Same thing with Axel. Him smiling isn't ":) I love you", but ":) I just sold you out to the police and they should be knocking on your door any minute now"

Okay, this is just -- a personal pet peeve, but.

Why are you calling Larxene/Axel hate sex considering they don't hate each other? I mean, Axel doesn't look bothered to betray her does he ever but considering Larxene seemed pretty happy he was in on their plan, it's not hate sex. Same goes for Marluxia and Axel. HEY GUYS they only hate him when he goes the bitch way and stops faking to bend over to their ideals and betrays them.

S-sorry, it's just. Really annoying to have people call it hate sex. (It's kinky, violent sex, sure, but. hate!sex is reserved for hate. \o/)

[whitepawn_alice]

No, don't apologize, I totally understand where you're coming from. D:

Sorry, I'm just used to referring to it as that. I'm not too sure why it's been given that label, just that is has. U.U; *has no proper excuse besides that*

[rainbowlasers]

I'm not actually a fan of Larxene/Axel ... well, I mean, I am, but not enough to know the labels? That sounds weird, but, anyway, I wouldn't know either. XD;;;

[whitepawn_alice]

Think a good bottom line would be that common labels aren't always good labels and Larxene/Axel is a lovely pairing? :)

[auriatetsukai]

So true. I mean, Roxas/Naminé? Fluffy, for the most part. But Axel is not a fluffy person. Even his HAIR screams NOT FLUFFY.

OBEY THE HAAAAAAIR.

[whitepawn_alice]

Well, if it wasn't so spiked, I imagine his hair would go fluffy. *joking*

Yes, we must all obey the almighty hair. *solemn nod* But what if you don't?

[auriatetsukai]

If it wasn't spiked, it wouldn't...be...spiked...SHUT UP.

And if we don't, we'll be forced...OKAY, SHUT UP. IT'S LATE. I'LL TOTALLY THINK OF SOMETHING BETTER MONDAY.

Wait, not Monday. AUGH.

[whitepawn_alice]

*is totally excusing your lack of response considering I can hardly type this myself.*

Don't worry about answering right away. Take time to ponder and think about the deep complexity that is Axel's hair and what punishment would be fitting enough for disrespecting it.

*sniggers at how that sounds but it's coherent at least*

[white_origami]

Axel/Larxene = Hatesex. Man, that's HOT. Not to mention the snarkiness of those two.

But IAWTP.

... what? Oh, god. Whatever made me stop reading fanfic - thank you.
