Wow, Way To Suck

Secret Post 833:

120: I don't care what you ship, but Katara is not anyone's girl. She's her own person with her own arc. She's certainly not a fucking prize to be handed off to some boy and the fact that she was treated as such is a massive flaw in the finale. (And oh, if I may be bitchy? What does it say about your pairing that it makes more sense for her to fight next to the character who supported her through some of her best character development and NOT the child you'd like to pair her with?)

In the words of secret 111: I love this ship.

114: this secret is totally made of word, only I found it funny and was not sick and betrayed by the latest chapter.

113: Wow, massive humanity fail.

154: I bet you fifty buck somone is writing Jacuzzi/Nice porn, and I want to read it.

Re:120 That is a hateful secret, but the picture it's on is so pretty! I need to find it without the stupid text now.

Something's in the water. Two of my fandoms (Avatar and Inuyasha) seem to have had breakouts this week.

re: humanity fail

Did you mean 113 or 133? Because I don't even recognize 113.

114: I don't care if it IS the most quoted line from that movie, I still heart the Monty Python reference.

ETA: I deleted my rant because it really wasn't on-topic to your post, and was pretty long. Plus, it's kinda rude to rant on other people's personal LJs. *sheepish*

Ugh, shippers like that disgust me. If their ship's ~so strong~ and ours is so anti-canon, why should they even CARE if she helps Zuko? Fail.

Also:
115- HOW DARE YOU DISS THE DROOPY LIP.

114 - I sympathize with the Ishida bit.


But seriously? Does no one see Orihime's change toward Ulquiorra but myself? She never hated him from the beginning; she trusted him, more than any of the other arrancar. :/ Her reaching out to him in this last chapter was not "character rape".

120: fgsfds that secret is dumb because a) Zuko and Katara bonding and fighting together made a huge amount of sense given that the thrust of their shared character arc was about reconciliation, b) IMO Aang needed to face the Fire Lord alone blah blah destiny blah blah, c) on what planet would Mike and Bryan of all people pander to the Zutarians, and d) GET OUT OF MY EX-FANDOM. :( Why are 90% of the shippers in that fandom clinically stupid? I feel like it is a higher percentage that in most fandoms.

114: I just felt like I wanted to stab KT in the face a lot for being such an awful writer.

120: The "retarded" thing gets to me. I'm 90% certain that it wouldn't be phrased that way if all the ship wank hadn't started in the first place, but really? It's like that FedEx arrow thing: some people see the subtext, some people don't, but if you don't see the subtext it doesn't mean it's not there, and if you do see the subtext it doesn't mean you're smarter or a more perceptive person. Not everyone sees things the same way, and that's perfectly fine. That is the way of literary analysis. Get the fuck over it. Jesus!

But no. For all the intelligent, well-read, analytical people who ship Zuko/Katara, and for all well-written, interesting, true-to-character fanfiction the ship has, CLEARLY WE ARE ALL RETARDED. Well, at least NOW WE KNOW, because this one person has decided that for us.

And I have another objection to that secret: Katara was supposed to go with Aang, AND DO WHAT, EXACTLY? There's nothing she could have done, because she can't fly. So... she was supposed to be sitting on the sideline. Supporting her man. Like a good woman should. Has this person been paying attention to Katara's character arc at all?

But no, we're the retarded ones, apparently.

If the ship is threatened by her being with another man during the finale, then it's not as strong as it should be.

In response to the Ulquiorra thing, I was not angry and betrayed by their whole exchange; I was pissed off out of my mind because:

a.) Orihime's characterization was not done for shit in the past hundred chapters,

b.) Kubo did not set up their relationship properly from Ulquiorra's side at all, giving his little proclamation a feel of "OHAI I JUST PULLED THIS OUT OF MY BUTT," and

c.) it frustrates me that if Kubo had done it right, it would have been beautiful and I would be happy instead of just confused and frustrated.

Wasted potential bothers me so much more than something that never could have been good in the first place. Example: I don't get pissed at Vampire Knight for sucking a lot, because I never expected it to do much more, and in fact am amused by its general silly fail. Bleach, on the other hand, started off so wonderfully, and is dying before my eyes, and it makes. me. so. fracking. pissed.

Sorry for the rant; I started to drift way off-topic there.
