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

[auronlu]

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*

OMFGWTFBBQ I HATE AURIKKU. HATE. WITH A PASSION. LOATHE EVEN. I'll even go so far as to make jokes about Auron banging babies in the men's room (namely Rikku and Tidus, because that's who I see him paired with the most, unfortunately), though I still love and respect the guy.

Of course, my deal with the pairing's not exactly the same as yours, but close enough. Let Auron have his serious girls, like Lu or even Yuna, and leave Rikku to the equally perky Tidus.

Was it to "Butterfly"? -_- I'm actually working on a Cloud/Yuffie video at the moment to the song. I'd thought of doing a Tidus/Rikku one to it, but it brought too many notions of Auron (who is more of a samurai than Tidus) for me to stomach it.

ps consider yourself friended, I keep forgetting to get around to it. But we cross paths enough, lol. ^_^

I can't remember if it was "Butterfly" or another. I think it was another, unless the butterfly song has a refrain about "i'm looking high and low / for my samurai!" every few moments. I'm not going to go check. ;)

Bottle-of-Shine ... I've seen Aurikkus where Auron was gushingly attracted to her, didn't seem to feel more than a twinge of guilt about her age, wasn't able to control himself and jumped her bones, actively hurt her, or was reduced to Wuv, Twue Wuv. Also, a lot of Aurikku art tends to make him look a lot closer to her age, which isn't what he is (mea culpa, but I am trying to learn to draw wrinkles better.) Soldier of Spira works as far as I read it because it doesn't change Auron. He still sounds like himself. I didn't get as far as him sleeping with her though.

But I honestly didn't start this post to talk about Aurikku, which if I think about it too much always brings me back to my impotent rage about a bright, sweet, intelligent teenaged daughter of a friend of mine who reminds me very much of Rikku, and who will never get the chance of learning about sex the slow, fumbling way because she had it forced on her by a man whom she trusted as a father. I hate it when I think of Auron and this man in the same thought, unless I'm contemplating beheading.

But bah, I didn't mean to go there again, I was just grouching about a really annoying song!

(And apologies if i sound sharp-tempered; after 5 days of 90+ degree weather with no A/C, and a bunch of college students partying from about 10 PM unto 3AM nearly every night in my apartment complex when I'm trying and failing to work on a Master's exam, with a 6AM wake-up call at dawn from the shrieking toddlers upstairs... Lulu's fury overdrive is how I'm feeling most of the time right now.)

-_- sounds like you're having a blast, ne?

It's been in the 110s lately, but the last couple of days it's been overcast in the afternoon so it's been bearable. I wouldnt know what I'd do without a/c ;_;

That sucks so very very much about your friend. :/ That would piss me off incredibly too.

I think the worst fic I read with Auron it in involved Tidus and the lady luck dress sphere. -_- *shudders*

"Butterfly" is a DDR song, and it's probably the one they used. It's very Aurikkuy. I love the song, but I cant think of FFX and it at the same time without getting a bad case of the headdesk.
