Took me a while, but I'm back to wrap up our conversation ♥
it did take me quite awhile to learn to see/appreciate Heero for himself rather than 'Wufei's evil rival', to see past the surface of his personality and all the bad!fic bastardizations, and even longer to make peace
aahaha. Switch out "Wufei" and "Heero" and you get what *I* had to do! But we both did, and now we can hold a civil conversation with each other about it. :D (Yay for not being GW fanon asshats!)
as far as establishing a relationship, and in the interest of avoiding bad fanon stereotypes? I'd much rather see Duo top
Yeah. Big fat yes. Not only to keep Duo IC, but also for Heero's sake. "Perfect Soldier" he may be, but nowhere in the definition of 'soldier' does 'lover' or 'affection' come into play. His canon Gary Stu-ness only extends to combat. In realms of affection, it's Duo with more experience, Duo with more creativity, Duo with more initiative, Duo with less denial of the importance of non-essential-for-life things. (And then consider that Heero's NOT a Perfect Soldier, and IS capable, just CRIPPLED, in terms of emotion, and - ARRRRRGH)
*cough* Ah. My point is, 1x2 is really only safe from itself and from fandom when it comes later in a solid 2x1 relationship. 2x1 has a much better chance of drawing the lines and the boundaries where they belong. 1x2....has no chance.
despite my opinion that best friends often do make the best lovers *cough*GojyoHakkai*cough*, sometimes friends are just friends and nothing more.
This being my PRECISE problem with 2x4x2 too.
'Ugh, god, I need to clean that up'
I DO THAT ALL THE TIME OMG. Mostly with my original stuff; my fanfic doesn't inspire me to go -back- and edit it. (I will revise the CRAP out of it at time of posting, but after a week, it's set in stone in my mind. Besides - original deserves more of my time, I think.)
Fuck no, I wouldn't believe you for a second. XD
IT IS, isn't it??? ♥ for dialogue sooo hard. It's really - it's not even script-style, because even -that- gives you more explicit information than dialogue-only. With dialogue only...it's because it *asks* for implication, I think, depends on it, and implying things is the beeeeeeeest way to go about it.
(PS: I LOVE the dragon pic you sent me. :D Didn't get a chance to say so earlier. Thanks so much~)
