Couple rant meme, part 1

You're still on time to ask for one, commenting here.

For [livejournal.com profile] elihice:

Eriol/Tomoyo. Their love doesn't exist, get over it.
Ugh, where do I begin. What I hate about this ship is the fact everyone takes it for canon. Even worse, almost every fanfiction about them is so OOC I want to cry. And people tend to forget Tomoyo likes a girl. Yeah, sure, she could be bi, but she doesn't bloody notice the guy who sits behind her, so she's not interested!
Besides, most people just do that for the "let's pair the second important bishoujo up so she won't end up alone" trend. And what is fucking wrong with not being in a relationship, I ask the preteens?
Because you know, there should be real chemistry around the couple. "OMG their rich and smart and their hair color is teh same!!1!" is not a good excuse.
And Sonomi would kill him if he lays a hand on her daughter. Because, you know, he's half Fujitaka.

Ishida/Orihime. The dorky way is better than the heroic way.
You ask me if I like it or not. The truth is, I'm not sure. My first reaction to it was "greaaaaat, they're pairing the left, unloved bishoujo with the spectacle dork! Where have I heard this before ¬¬?"
But then Kubo pulls the Orihime speech about Ichigo's happiness. Man, I admit I wanted to hate Orihime like I do with every cutesy, fanservicey girl. But I discovered then I won't be able to, ever. She's like Tohru Honda with boobs, dammit: I can't hate her. And Uryuu's face! It killed me! It was so obvious, so canon; she fancies her and wants to see her happy.
I truly want to see my dork happy. So yeah, I... wouldn't mind if they end up together anymore. And I've thought hard. She's a klutz, sure, but she's not a bimbo; she's the third on their class! She's hard-working and kind, also. And her imagination... yes, it IS dorky. She's also a dork!
Aha, she's good enough for my King of Dorkiness. I approve it. I'm not sure it's an OTP yet, but it's... sort of cute. Um, forget I said that, I'll deny it.

For [livejournal.com profile] nienna_m:

Harry/Luna. They'd need a lot of therapy.
Well, I don't know. It's just I don't ship Harry, period. I believe he's too emotionally unstable to get into a relationship, the poor thing. But anyway.
I adore Harry and I adore Luna. They're my male and female favorite characters. Still, they're just getting to know each other, so it's too soon to tell if they're meant to each other. At least, they should be good friends, after that OotP infamous scene. They need more interaction so I can make up my mind.
So far, I'm liking it more (way more!) than Harry/Hermione but a bit less than Harry/Ginny (which sort of convinces me, sort of).

Tomorrow: Royai and Clow/Yuuko. And anything else you suggest me.

I want to read a fic where Sonomi tries to do that! XD Heck, she'd try to kill him even if she thinks he's looked at her daughter in a certain way.

...oh, no, not another plotbunny...

Already had that kind of plotbunny. I'll share it, just in case you want to take it and refine it.

So Sonomi goes to school to whatever reason you want (pick her daughter up, a parents' day, etc.) So Tomoyo joins her, and when they're about to walk, Eriol is leaving the classroom/school/place. I'll use script and smilies to resume it.

Tomoyo: see you tomorrow, Hiiragizawa-kun.
Eriol: good-bye ^_^ [insert extra patented spectacle melting smile here]
Sonomi: [thinks] That boy! He looks like... looks like... Ô_____Ô
[she has flahsbacks of Fujitaka, vein pops in forehead]
Tomoyo: mother?
Sonomi: GET AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER, MINIATURE BASTARD! [grabs Tomoyo and leaves running]
Eriol: o_o ...
Sakura: [also leaving the classroom/school behind him] what's the matter, Eriol-kun?
Eriol: nothing, [evil grin] just thinking Daidouji's mother is an interesting person.
Sakura: [clueless] yeah, she's nice ^^

Really liked this one XDDD

>Well, I don't know. It's just I don't ship Harry, period.

Me either... I see him alone and that's it.

Funny, I used to ship Harry/Ginny till GoF. But book five changed everything for me. He's not in the mood for a relationship with all the crap he suffered there. But like you said, I would love him getting friends with Luna, because at least she understands him, on a way that Ron or Hermione can't.
I just want poor Harry to be happy, damn. :/

Supiez, this is 'itsMiSTY' from TAFL boards. I'd love to hear your HP rants, ;x

Added you!

What is Supiez? That's too bad, because I rant CLAMP, not HP. You're going to get bored here, then.

I want him to be happy (and alive, Rowling, alive!), too. I just love him so much. Still, from a lunatic's point of view, when you're suffering from a depression, it's hard for you to fall in love. It could even make you suffer even more. And he's suffering already, and I'm sure Cho didn't help him relief his stress last year.

I still don't know who he should be with, if he does end up with someone (maybe he'll reject everyone so they won't get involve and die because of him, like Sirius and his parents [Voldie would have a blast if Harry has a girlfriend: yay, someone to kidnap and extortion with!]).

I think Jo will have to do things smooth if she want to pair him up with someone. But maybe it's the Star Wars factor, but I get the feeling Harry will sort of isolate himself like Luke did.

Supiez: What is up.

I thought.. from your post on TAFL, that you liked HP! '..is for fandom rants and memes (my fandoms are normally CLAMPverse, HP and Bleach, just so you know)..'

;x Either way, we both adore Bleach & CLAMP, ^^

Yeah, but with so little news, I won't be able to talk about HP until... um, August?

That's what happens when you live in a town where you have no idea how to get books in English.

Sure, I do talk a bit about my several fandoms. However, Tsubasa and HOLiC take most of my fangirlish time.

I'll add you now.

I don´t think Tomoyo is even bi XD

And anyway, there is like zero to minus 100 chemistry between them so. I hate when people randomnly pair up characters just cause they are single (leave Tomoyo alone, she´ll find someone, maybe, or not, but do not force things, fangirls). Tomoyo and Eriol would be a great team as friends (omg, so many brain cells!) but I just can´t picture them involved.

My liking of the Ishida/Orihime goes in the same lines as yours; I want to see Ishida happy more than anything and if he wants Orihime, hell, let him have her (even if in the process he destroys my Tatsuki/Orihime OTP and breaks my heart thus).

I don´t see Harry shipped, either (except with Snape but I don´t really have canon hopes for that) but the only two people I can stand him shipped with are Hermione and Luna. Hermione because she deserves much better than who the Rowling is going to give her; and Luna because she was the only one to understand Harry at the end of OotP, not just pity him or tell him everything was going to be fine. Well, sure, I´m more of a Luna/Ginny shipper but well, I wouldn´t mind the Harry/Luna either, specially if that means we get more pages with Luna in them, her character is just too cool and touching for words.

I´ll await your Roy/Hawkeye expectantly XD

Eh? Harry/Luna doesn't make sense. You're right, they are just getting to know each other.

Harry/Cho is the only relationship that I cannot tolerate at all. According to their dialogue in HP5, Cho is clingy, jealous, and needy (not to mention the constant mentioning of Cedric). Cho seems to be comparing Harry to Cedric in every situation.

Maybe I'm missing something, but why does Sonomi have reason to hate Fujitaka?

[identity profile] rainmage.livejournal.com 2005-03-28 10:30 am (UTC)(link)
Because he "took her cousin away from her". It seems Sonomi liked Nadeshiko *that* way. That, or she was quite obsessed/overprotective.
