Pairing Meme

I'll just do Kingdom Hearts for right now(which is why it's here) since it seems to be the fandom that's still "on fire"! If you want to know about my other fandom pairings, then just say so in the comments! :D

Anyway:

Six Pairings I Like:

1. Axel/Demyx
2. Marluxia/Larxene
3. Zexion/Lexaeus
4. Xigbar/Luxord
5. Vexen/Saix
6. Xemnas/Xaldin

Three Ships I've Abandoned:

7. Riku/Sora
8. Axel/Roxas
9. Sora/Kairi

Three Ships I've Never Liked:

10. Zexion/Demyx
11. Xigbar/Demyx
12. Axel/Larxene

Two Ships that have Piqued my Interest:

13. Saix/Axel
14. Xemnas/Saix


The questions:

#1. Why do you dislike #11 so much?

Because I can't imagine Xigbar being anything other than some sort of father figure, and even then, some sort of a distant father figure. If Xigbar has a male lover, it would have to someone who is more malicious.


#2. Who do you know that ships #13?

Not very many people. It's a new concept that's generally "pre Demyx" and "pre Roxas".


#3. What would be your ideal scenario for couple #3?

Discussing perfume, philosophy, plotting, scheming. All before, during, or after, naughtiness.


#4. What is your favorite moment for #1?

Behind the wheel of a nice automobile, singing together, and doing naughty things in the car.


#5. How long have you been following couple #6?

Quite awhile.


#6. What's the story with #8? What made you stop caring?

It simply "fell short" with me. The only thing intense about the two of them was the second fight below the Twilight Town mansion. Beyond that, nothing really phased me or impressed me. Everything just seems like "trying too hard". See how great they are? Look what Axel is willing to do! What he's said, etc yadda. But, none of it has ever been enough for me. I'm simply not touched and it's all too forgettable to me. However, I tend to go for Axel/Roxas/Demyx, so it's not entirely abandoned. I just seldom deal with Axel/Roxas on its own since I have no incentive to. I will, however, admit that if Demyx were included as a friend in canon, I'd be on Axel/Roxas like a fly on shit. How's that for irony?


#7. Which ship do you prefer--#2 or #4?

Number 2.


#8. You have the power to make one ship non-existent. Choose from #10 or #12.

10.


#9. What interests you about #14?

Saix is loyal to Xemnas, and it's the sort of relationship that wouldn't quite be "touching". There's little need to sentiment.


#10. When did you stop liking #7?

Probably during Kingdom Hearts 2. I never stopped liking it, I simply lost interest.

#11. Did your waning interest in #9 kill your interest in the series?

No.


#12. What's a song that reminds you of #5?

I don't know.

#13. Which of these ships do you love the most right now?

Axel/Demyx, Zexion/Lexaeus.


#14. Which do you dislike the most?

Zexion/Demyx


#15. If you could have any of these pairings double date, who would they be?

I'd go for Axel/Roxas/Demyx, and that's it.

#16. Have #2 kissed yet? Elaborate if yes.

Of course, they have. They've done naughty stuff too.

#17. Did #4 have a happy ending? Do you think one is likely?

Sadly, no, since they both went bye-bte.

#18. What would make you start shipping #14?

Nothing.

#19. If only one could happen, which would you prefer--#2 or #6?

#1. Oh, 2 or 6. Number 2.


#20. You have the power to decide the fate of #10. What happens to them?

Demyx tells Zexion to go fuck himself.

Heh.

Axel/Roxas day!

Happy Axel/Roxas day! YAY! And now, some "Headspace facts" for most everyone's favorite dynamic duo!

1. Unlike Demyx, Roxas was a very easy catch, but only because Axel/Roxas are both warrior sorts, and Roxas had no preconceived notions of Axel.

2. Roxas admires Axel, and looks up to him as a mentor of sorts. People say that Roxas tops, but unless it's in combat, it's Axel that is almost always the "dominant one". Unlike Demyx, Roxas seldom resists.

3. They may have done "naughty things", but in the end, they are best friends and nothing more. This is a very easy relationship to "identify" even without Hearts. Unlike Demyx, there is no ambivalence or anytime where they "hate" each other. This relationship is far more stable for the most part.

4. Roxas really was Axel's "heart", so to speak. Through him, Axel found that he could finally be humane and actually be someone worthy of love and true friendship.

5. He is not possessive of Roxas. He is "clingy" and "needy", but never possessive.

And that's all for today!

Axel/Larxene day

Axel/Larxene was actually pretty popular before Axel/Roxas even came into being. It's still pretty popular as far as het pairings go in Kingdom Hearts and so is Axel/Marluxia/Larxene. Don't get me wrong, it's not as popular as other OT3's, but it's up there. Also, despite what goes on in Chain of Memories, people still SHIP Axel/Larxene and tend to pay more attention to what goes on in the manga. Like most fandom, people just do what they want to do. I do it too. Heh. Anyway, five headspace thingies for Axel/Demyx.

1. Despite lacking Hearts, they are the two most emotional members of the Organization. Because of this, the loss is more painful for the two of them than for anyone else. However, since they still lack Hearts the emotions they feel strongly tend to be the negative ones, but not always. It's not uncommon for them to "half" feel things. Such as, "I should be sobbing, but there's only some tears". The lack of a Heart is why Axel can only be possessive in regards to Demyx. As for Demyx, many of his songs turn out "wrong"(that is, a song comes out angry or sad when it should be a happy song) and he often complains that his music doesn't "sound right", even when others say it sounds great.

2. Axel often snoops into Demyx's room to steal his snack foods(beef jerky, chips, candy, etx). He also uses Demyx's large vanity mirror, reads his song lyrics, and "borrows" some books. Demyx, however, doesn't dare go into Axel's room uninvited.

3. Axel gets irritated at Demyx's continued belief that they DO have Hearts. Axel knows that Demyx knows better. Once he told Demyx that he knew why his music didn't "sound right". He never did it again. Hint: Getting hit by fast moving water is like being hit by concrete.

4. They have done some very unpleasant things together. Nothing Saix, Vexen, or Larxene level, but they have been known to attract people through their song/dance routine and then turn them into heartless/nobodies. This ended soon after Roxas joined the Organization. Demyx considered it "awful, but necessary". Axel just considered it "necessary".

5. They annoy each other and neither one of them have much room to talk when it comes to being annoying.

Axel/Luxord Day!

Heheh. The same day Stardust came out. Anyway more Axel/Demyx "headspace".

1. Axel often calls Demyx names that are easily insults, but used as "pet" names or sarcastic. Demyx is used to this and is far from an innocent, abused person as he also throws names at Axel too. It's "old married couple" stuff as opposed to actual verbal abuse. And yes, Demyx can tell the difference.

2. They frequently drive through the City That Never Was and in worlds where cars exist. Besides driving at nutjob speeds, they sing, they listen to the radio, they talk, fight, and yes, they do naughty things in the car. This did not change when Roxas came around.

3. Axel/Demyx dance together, but they seldom fight together.

4. Axel loves being "mean" to Demyx. IOW, Axel is often mischievous and frequently annoys Demyx and plays pranks on him. Demyx is also pretty annoying , but he is nowhere near the prankster.

5. They have schemed together and this is especially true right before and right after Chain of Memories. Yea, that's hard to believe given Demyx, but I've always believed that Demyx is little different from Axel. He's just nicer.

Axel/Demyx day! YAY!

For Axel/Demyx day, I will simply give my "Headspace facts" for the two of them as a pairing. Since it'll probably be a good-sized list, I'll start with five, as usual, and it should last until Axel/Roxas day (13th). Anyway:

1. Pre-Roxas, it was a very turbulent relationship. While not abusive, Axel was still very harsh, and it often grated on Demyx. Despite this, Axel was still "good" to Demyx and they had a lot of great times together. During Roxas, Axel/Demyx stabilized and actually improved quite a bit, despite still being rough around the edges. Post-Roxas, it remained stabilized, but much of the old tension returned, and in fact got a little worse.

2. Demyx was by no means an easy catch. He couldn't stand the sight of Axel at first and tried to avoid him like the plague. After a nasty confrontation with Zexion, Demyx found himself alone with Axel, and well, what Axel wanted, Axel got--eventually.

3. The relationship is largely ambivalent. Sometimes they are fond of each other, sometimes they hate each other. This was especially true pre-Roxas, and at that time, it wasn't uncommon for Axel and Demyx to not see/speak to each other for days.

4. They are unable to identify their own relationship. Since they lack hearts, romantic love is simply not there, and neither one of them consider each other friends. To Axel, Demyx is simply "His". Demyx did not want to be with anyone else. Roxas was the only exception to any rule or possessiveness Axel/Demyx had.

5. They frequently fight, but are also frequently, er, "frisky". This didn't change with Roxas around.


And that's all for today!

Axel Day!

Yay! It's Axel day. It's business as usual in the fandom, but it looks like most of the fandom nonsense will be on 8/13 for reasons that should be obvious. I won't do "headspace" Axel today, but I will have an Axel/Demyx pairing "headspace" list tomorrow for 8/9. I wonder what the Demyx wing of the fandom will be doing tomorrow.

I should have done the Axel/Demyx manifesto for tomorrow, but NOOO. Then again, another Axel/Demyx day springs up on 9/8(except it's Demyx/Axel), so I have like a month to put it off do. Will have to see as usual.

I'll be doing "headspace" for Axel/Roxas too, and then, of course Axel/Demyx/Roxas. I wonder what day that threesome would fall on.

Axel is 8, Demyx is 9, so 8 + 9 is 17. Now, if you break down 17, then 1 + 7=8. Huurrr...Actually....August 22 might work best. Think about it. 8/9 and add 13 to nine and you get 8/22. So, that day could easily be Axel/Demyx/Roxas day. Or August 30th. 17 + 13=30. So, 8/30 could work too. I dunno, because there's a lot of combos with that threesome. Observe:

Axel/Demyx/Roxas
Axel/Roxas/Demyx (could still be 8/22)
Roxas/Axel/Demyx (Huurrrr...Rad)
Roxas/Demyx/Axel
Demyx/Axel/Roxas
Demyx/Roxas/Axel


Or better yet, just not worry about it. EEsh. Numerology is nice and all, but it takes too much effort to come with with a "day" for a pairing that causes various reactions in the fandom.
