So, yeah, this isn't even really a Valentine's pic. It was originally on my backlog and I meant to post this last year, but by the time I finally did decide on posting it, I was already January. By then, I figure, 'eh, Valentine's Day is in a month anyway. Why not save it for then?'
Either way, other shippers, please don't kill me! D:
Do you have a NoTP in your fandom? Are they a popular OTP?
I'm sorry but I really dislike Zero/Iris. Any flavor of them is a no-no for me. I may sound like a hypocrite bc I like Gate/Alia but at least the game makes you care for them and their prior relationship through Alia's trauma dumping but Zero/Iris is just a huge plot device and I hate that it defines Iris's character. I hate that their relationship is just Zero's big manpain fodder and it's one of prime reason why I'm not a huge fan of Zero in general. (I know it's not his fault and more like writer's fault but I digress)
Also Ice/Roll is also a big no for me whether you see them as not related/same age or no. I hate that archie pushes their relationship when they stated the same creator rms are related, it makes it extra creepy.
Has fandom ever ruined a pairing for you?
Not as far as I concerned. Everyone I met has been pretty chill mostly.
Has fandom ever made you enjoy a pairing you previously hated?
Something I've kinda been holding back and am kinda glad I did so I would at least have something for Valentine's day (even though I don't really celebrate it like that).
Anyway, giving a fair bit of warning in that I ship these two hard, like to the point that I have my own whole separate AU where the events of X4 actually ends without near everyone horribly dying. I say this because I know people can be very particular with ships (me included) and I'm just trying to keep things as drama-free as possible.
That said, if no-likey, then block tags, ignore. or go away. :)
Also, no I'm not referencing X4 or any other specific images; I just thought this would be funny.
Also also, wanna do a full color job on this at some point, so this pic may come back one day. :P
