Guess what, it's more FF7 pairing wank!

More bitesized than the last one I posted, but wanktastic all the same.



[info]flusterdance happens to commit one of the worst wank sins possible: Pairing-ranting at [info]fanficrants, which is well known for bringing the wank where pairings are involved.

A friend of mine recently told me on the phone that she stumbled across an FF7 pairing that broke her brain: Vincent/Yuffie.
Yes, apparently this pairing has a decent-sized following.
We spent the majority of the phone conversation trying to figure out if Vin or Yuffie had ever had ANY kind of storyline involving the other, or even knew the other existed beyond "that annoying girl/that smouldering hot creepy guy".
I was always of the opinion that in order to have basis for a pairing, you had to have some kind of canonical evidence, even if it was stupid evidence. Like, "Cloud and Red XIII could get together because they were both experimented on", sort of thing. (I don't think Vin and Yuffie both being optional characters counts.)
Putting two people together because there's no evidence against a romance-- or any evidence at all, for that matter-- is like making space aliens land in the Great Hall at Hogwarts because there was never any evidence in the book that said that couldn't happen.
I'm trying to make some sort of sense out of this, but all I can manage is "buh?"

[end transmission]

p.s.: Vincent is so hot for Cloud.


Comments vary from "omg Yuffentine is teh devil" to "you know, it's decent if it's well done," and lots of "Where the hell do you get the idea that Vincent is hot for Cloud?!"

An edit is shortly added:

An Edit to Clear Things Up: I am not bashing the Vincent/Yuffie pairing (or Yuffentine, as it's been called) OR endorsing the Vincent/Cloud pairing (that was a joke. a JOKE, people!). I was just confused as to the erm, creative nature of the pairing, since there's no basis in canon, not even a little one. I'm sure Yuffentine is very good for you, now go lie down before you give yourself a heart attack.

p.p.s.: Kadaj is so hot for his mombox.

[end transmission again]


Needless to say, this doesn't make the Vincent/Yuffie fans settly any, and probably only offends them more.

[info]flusterdance gets bonus points for calling someone a hypocrite when they were basically saying pairing rants weren't a good idea.

And [info]memlu wins the internet, not even for her comment, but for the icon.

Only 53 comments, and yet so beautifully wanky.




Wow, and this time, Advent Children wasn't even involved!

Dude, the Pairing Wars practically started in FF7. Harmonians are insects in comparison, really.

... well, annoying like bugs, but still.

I'd like to add Digimon to that list.

and as for the wank, well, I really need to get over this problem of giving people the benefit of the doubt.

Exactly. You know not pairing wank until you've seen a million screaming fangirls all bellowing "TIFA IS A WHORE" "NO, AERIS" "NO, TIFA" "NO, AERIS" and the ever-damning "AT LEAST TIFA ISN'T DEAD"

Good times, good times.

Harmonians, though, are going against canon. Which FF7 has none of. So, there's more fanon and less canon in the FF7 pairing wanks. Though that doesn't stop all the "my sister's uncle's brother's half-sibling's stepbrother's friend's dog spoke to the janitor at Squeenix and they said _____ was canon!" Despite all the times the FF7 creators have confessed that they HAD no idea who to pair Cloud with.

Pah, Cid/Vincent breaks my brain, but you don't hear me complain!

...OK, so I complain, but at least I don't confuse my preferences (oh, why does Vincent/Cloud get no love? *sob*) with the Holy Rules of What Should Be Written (random capitalisation and all).

NEWSFLASH!
The internet doesn't give a shit about what you like or don't like.

That is all.

If my scrambled brain can remember all those hours of gameplay that my little brother killed playing FFVII*, that later on when I found out about yaoi, I liked VincentxCloud. And thanks to Kingdom Hearts, I now like CloudxYuffie and LeonxCloud. Not to mention after DoC comes out, I might *gasp* like the idea of VincentxYuffie!


If anybody has a physical problem to solve with me in any way, COME AND HIT ME WHERE I LIVE! Just kidding.

I declare this the most useful icon for FFVII wank. Ever.

The fandom is so boring. If it's not wanking over A: Sword-lengths, B: name spelling, it's a pairing war. Can't we do something more original for once? Just once, I wanna see a wank over whether or not Cloud's penis is bigger than Zack's. Or Hojo's. Because dude. Think of the amusement possibilities!

Gah why did I miss this?

Anyway, holy shit, there are so many FF7 pairings that break my brain. Yuffie/most people, Reno/most people (AC totally showed that he's Rude's bitch kthnx), Vincent/most people...

I fully approve of Kadaj/Mombox, though. It just shows what sort of WTF canon we're dealing with. Which is why my answer to most FF7 pairing wank is: "Bitch, please."

Now where's the Turkspr0n...
