A reason why Aurikku does not fill me with joy. EARWORM.

I keep my Aurikku grumbling to a minimum, because really, my philosophy is, I may not AGREE with what others doing to certain characters, I may think it distorts/dishonors/ignores the basic nature of those characters, but that's just my opinion, and (most of all) we all have different tastes. You go have your fun, I'll have mine. As long as it's in fiction and not reality, it's not hurting anybody to write pedophilia and all the other kinks.

That said.

I sometimes stop by Aurikkus because half of it works for me -- it stems from thinking Auron is a cool dude, and on that much we can agree.

BUT AIGH MAKE IT STOOOOOP.

Saturday, I watched a silly YouTube Aurikku video with a perky J-pop sort of song where the chorus was "I want my Samurai!" EARWORM AUGH. I am not equipped to handle "perky" for extended periods.

Yet at this point, I would be almost happy for Small World or the Wizard of Oz "Lollipop Guild" to get stuck in my head just to dislodge "I want my Samurai!"

*goes off to find the awesome "Love Him When He's Gone" Auron video in an attempt to get PERKYPERKYHYPERPERKY out of my skull*

Well said! I agree with all of that. I can see Rikku having a huge crush on Auron because he is so much her opposite and such an excellent role model, a hero, really. But Auron wouldn't reciprocate it because he's too much a good person and even if he did fall in love with Rikku he wouldn't allow himself to do anytihng that might hurt her and I think his morals are too strong to allow him to ever take advantage of someone so young despite her strongest protests.

I also agree with you about the fact that Auron isn't going to fall in love with anyone. I see him as driven by one goal, sort of like in many ghost stories. I also think that if he was going to be in a relationship it would be a forever kind of deal and I think he'd feel too guilty about the necessarily temporary nature of the rest of his stay on Spira to contemplate such a thing.

Still, I am interested in a wide variety of stories and so those opinions of mine are very much not set in stone.
