NnoiNel Manifesto:
brought to you by hpim

Months ago I posted a flimsy manifesto lacking a chapter of development. My friends, I present to you a manifesto I am truly proud of. This was meant to be posted at ship_manifesto, but for the time being I have been unable to post it there. I hope you will all take the time to read this, I'm very proud of it

I completely understand not wanting to ship. People really do get crazy, and I understand wanting to avoid that. I myself usually ship something, but usually not enough to get super involved in fandom. This was probably the first one in which I had to. xD

I'm really glad you enjoyed it! I felt the point was not only for NnoiNel fans to read it, but for people to just read it even if they didn't like it, so they'd understand my point of view and perhaps even the characters a little better. Thank you a lot!

*clap clap clap* Excellent manifesto =)

I gotta say, I have to thank you for pointing out that Nnoitra actually remembers the words that Neliel said more than their actual fight. It just shows how much she affects him. In fact, she confuses him with her words and actions: it's the complete opposite of what Hueco Mondo is supposed to be and it's the complete opposite of what he is. And yes, I agree that Nnoitra allows Nel to be that cold, uncaring hollow that they supposedly are. And she shuns him because that part is something that she resents, the part that prevents her from getting to that small hope of salvation. She has to acknowledge it at the same time though, because if she didn't have that part of herself, she probably would not have been #3.

So basically... I loved this XD

I always found it strange how people like to sit there and say HE JUST WANTED TO BEAR HER but in his dying moments he remembered her VIVIDLY saying things to him, not even her battle or her fighting while saving him, but he clearly forgot their battles and just the aftermath stuck. Oh Nnoitra, you're such a teddy bear on the inside XDDD

Thank you so much <3

This was a really great read. You brought up a lot of interesting points that I didn't think about beforehand, such as being able to be the inner hollow. Very well thought out and written

Yeesh, this is well done. Makes me want to redo my manifesto.

Thank you, that means a lot to me :)

Wow. Let me just say that you opened my eyes to so many different aspects of the Nel/Nnoitra ship. Until now I've never really done more than dip my toes into this pairing, as it was a *little* too tortured and violent for my tastes. But you really made it make sense, and there's too many good points in this essay that I couldn't possibly mention them all.

There's just one problem, nothing to do with the excellent case you put forward - I think you're confusing the word serenade with tirade. I was reading the essay and it kept coming up so I thought I'd mention it.

A definition of serenade is:
a complimentary performance of vocal or instrumental music in the open air at night, as by a lover under the window of his lady.

The thought of Nnoitra serenading Nel did bring a smile to my face. ^^

Yeah, I did realize that it was the wrong word........but I didn't know how to replace it and my editor didn't change it either. So I gave up on it. I COULD go back and edit or.......I could be lazy and admit I was wrong in comments! XD

Thank you so much though- I know a lot of people view the pairing as desperately dark and violent and while it has amazing potential for that, it also has the potential for fluff, romance, pretty much anything, and that's why I like it. If they had been shinigami I'm sure they'd be more romantic or pleasant, and it's the same if they were humans. That's why I write a lot of AU fanfics.
