shamanicshayminOkay, the kids at my school are fucking brats. Right now, some guy and his girlfriend who thinks they're cool won't stop looking over my shoulder when I try to surf the Net--well then, I'll rant about them another time. I'm not letting those little cockroaches distract me as I'm trying to type about something else.
Typically, your Puri*Rant would go like this:
Shadow/Sonic - This used to be my second fave yaoi pairing overall, but Sonadow supporters bashing Sonamy (my fave pairing of all time) just because it's more likely to happen than Sonadow ticks me off -_- so it's down to sixth fave. Opposites attract people! Shadow's dark, Sonic's light. Kind of a night and day thing. Plus, they're rivals, which somehow makes it more appealing. So yeah, Sonadow is an ok couple.
Puri: Oh, poor you, "I'm soooooooooo victimized by the Sonadow Fangirls, I'm going to stop liking Sonadow now, nevermind what I actually think of the ship BOO HOOOOOOOOO~!!!!11" (But I'll give you a point for still liking it, even if I get a tad more... "analytical", than that. *cough*)
But today, it's more like this:
Sonic/Blaze - This one just plain annoys me. Blaze lives in a different dimension and is kinda a parallel female cat version of Sonic when you think about it cos there was a parallel Eggman... EW! Two parallel selves snogging each other?! Yuck! Plus, the fans annoy me too, trying to make me hate Sonamy and convert to Sonblaze when I don't want to!
Puri: And somehow, you don't mind Sonadow at all! :DDD (Though I wouldn't say they're... *cough* parallel, both ships) "Noooooooooooes, I used to like Sonblaze, but now I'm going to let the rabid shippers push me in the sandbox and beat me with sticks for liking Sonamy, I'm gonna REEBEEEEEEEEEEEL~!" Yeah hun, just fight fire with fire, that'll definitely make things better than you know, standing firm and liking both to break the brains of the morons around you. *rolls eyes*
I was originally gonna quip about a similar comment the person made, but alas, it's gone. Ah well, this one pretty much gets the message across too.
I dunno, since beating "Sonic Rush", I thought a little about Sonic & Blaze here, (Maybe 'cause![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
panku_tasuku brainwashed me, who knows. XDD;;) and that I think of it, the ending was really cute. Maybe Blaze isn't quite ready for anything romantic yet (Heck, she's just learning friendship. XDD;;), but she certainly seemed more at peace by the end of the game than when she left for Sonic's dimension, so maybe if she does come to his world again, she could meet Sonic and everyone else again, spend more time with Cream, maybe gradually meet Sonic some more... and something might grow between them. We never knew what he gave her, after all. ;D
I dunno. When I read comments like this, it just makes me like the ship even more instead of turning me away. And if you've known me long enough, hoo boy... you'd definitely know my personal experience with certain other OTPs. XDDDDD;;
To wander off from ships a bit, allow me to blare a message that apparently, needs to be made clear:
Blaze the Cat is NOTHING like Sonic & Shadow.
Seriously, I'm sick of it. If some newbie isn't complaining about his orange Sonic recolor "Blaze the Hedgehog" being STOLEN OMG!!1, then they're saying she's a female ripoff of the existing male characters. Which baffles me--you can't just look at an official picture of her and decide she's like Shadow, think she's Knuckles because she guards the Sol Emeralds, or realize she's speedy, which means "OMG SONIC IS A PURPLE CAT". Well, let me ask you something: where did you base your opinions from? GameFAQs? Other angry fans? Your ego?
Another thing: did you play "Sonic Rush"? Reading the game script online or spending 15 minutes of gameplay and quitting in annoyance doesn't count. Rather, a better question would be: did you ever BEAT the game?
I must say I've spent a good portion getting that cursed 7th Emerald, and I still fail to see how Blaze is Shadow in drag. (Man, that could explain why I'm suddenly interested in Sonlaze--Sonic saw riiiiiiiiiiiiight through her!And compliment the cat ears & the white pants. Okay, this is getting too scary. XDD;;; Let's move on. *nod*)
1. Just because a character is speedy doesn't automatically mean the guy's/gal's faster than Sonic. Heaven forbid that would happen in the series--otherwise, "Sonic the Hedgehog" would lose its meaning, hm? Anyone that would dare be quicker than Sonic other than Metal Sonic would be wandering in Mary-Sue territory. Boosh! 'Sides, here are their names: Sonic. Blaze. Sonic's known for his speed of course, while Blaze cooks up her magic by torching resident bots to their barbeque. Who needs to be faster than Sonic when you get to be a pyro? And for a pyro, Blaze is pretty level-minded and sane. XDDDD;; She and Sonic share speed and oh... what else? Sonic's cheery and uppity and gets along with everyone, while Blaze is dead-rock serious, not to mention a wallflower who easily gets confused meeting others, hence messing things up due to miscommunication. (See: Blaze & Knuckles)
2. Knux. So they're both Guardians of a certain type of Emerald, big deal. Knuckles guards one Master Emerald, while Blaze spends about 90% of the game chasing after seven Sol Emeralds from Eggman. Again, Blaze is calm & controlled--if you see Knux, better watch out, or he'll explode on ya. Blaze thinks before she acts, and is constantly on the watch around her, not about to be used & tricked by anyone--and we know about Knux & his relationship with Eggman. XDDD;;; (But hey, that's why we love him. ;D)
Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnd I've saved themost obnoxious best for last:
3. Shadow. Shadow Shadow Shadow. Well then, rather than looking at official pics of our beloved black hedgehog & purple kitty noting how similar their poses are, let's make comparisons MY way (albeit, in a nutshell):
Shadow: AH HA HA, I AM SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG, THE WORLD'S ULTIMATE LIFE-FORM. I AM GREAT. I IS YOO-NEEK! Anyone who opposes me is obviously an idiot--no ONE gets in MY way or tells me what to do! Geez, Sonic's annoying... wonder if he's really worthy of me, though.
Blaze: I'm guardian of the Sol Emeralds. I have to give them back, or we're all dead. I'll do this myself, yo. I don't need help, and I'll be fine. My mission requires it. Sonic? Oh, nah. Not interested.
Aka: Shadow is an arrogant sob. Blaze is just dedicated to her mission and used to being alone. By alone, she means it as she believes it's her duty--not because she thinks she's high & mighty and should be raised on a pedestal. Blaze wanted to get to business and get the Sol Emeralds back, not to compete with Sonic like Shadow was. 'Sides, Blaze was ten billion times nicer at first encounter--she merely treated Sonic coldly, whereas in "Sonic X", Shadow beat the living tar outta him. XDDD;;
Shadow: Who am I? Dammit, I can't figure out! *angst* *angst*
Blaze: What's this dimension? And how do I get home?
Aka: Shadow is totally fucked over and has an identity crisis, complete with episodes of trauma to leave him down in the dumps. Blaze is pretty damn sure she's a princess, and of course if anyone got caught in another world, they would wonder where the hell they are and how'd they'd return. We don't know much about Blaze's history, and she spends more of her time being serious instead of sad/worried.
Finally...
Shadow: MARIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Blaze: "Cream, where are you? Are you safe? Cream!"
Aka: 'Nuff said. Shadow's the angsty, bitter one. Blaze is the shy, strong type. To say they're the same is pushing it. XDDD
Lesson: Just because a character has a serious personality doesn't mean he/she is a Shadow clone. Poke around with "Sonic Heroes" for the REAL clones, kthnx.
Anyhoo, back to shipping!
That said, I do NOT like Shadaze. Perfectly uppity and fine with Sonlaze, but Shadaze? Uh uh. ("NO WAI~!", the O RLY owl would return)
Number 1? See above. Basically, that's saying, "Tee hee, Shadow & Blaze are sooooo alike, THEY'RE PERFECT TOGETHER EVEN IF THEY'VE NEVER MET!!!11" Puh-leaze. That, and I've seen a few mentions of "Blaze might be Shadow's love interest like Amy is for Sonic!" and well... do you see my face right now? Turning pretty green, here. XDDDD;;; It's like, "I know! Blaze is gonna be Shadow's girlfriend, AND YOU'RE GONNA LIKE IT!!1" Gag me with a spoon, please. I hate forced ships. :(
Speaking of types of ships I don't like, I can't stand couplings when they're together only so Character A doesn't get in the way of B & C's love, ("Shafted together" like mismatched socks in a drawer, per say) or when everyone else is paired up and they're the only characters left, henceforth OTP. (Aka "Leftovers") 'Cause see, so Blaze can no longer be in the way of Sonic & Amy's Happily Ever After, we dunk her in a crate with Shadow and haul them off in a boat somewhere in the Pacific to be forgotten so we can be giddy and think Fuzzy Sonamy*Thoughts without Purple Kitty cooties. And hey, Shadow is OMG SOOOOOOOOO HAWT, so Blaze better be goddamned grateful. *rolls eyes* And dude! Shadow's the only one without a gal after him! Amy wants Sonic, Rouge seeks Knux's pants, Tikal's playing checkers with Chaos so both are at peace and unlikely to ever come back just to poke a little lurve from Shadow's angwy widdle heart, (See? Even Shadow/Tikal started to die off from FF.net after a while, last time I checked. XDDD;;;) Cream's obviously too young, and Maria Robotnik's a little human girl--and dead as a doornail.
So... who's the only female character in existance who isn't preoccupied with love interests or kicked the bucket? *DING DING DING!* "Welcome to the Sonic series, Blaze the Cat! You see, behind three doors, are these three bachelors waiting for the perfect girl...Now all you have to do is guess who's the real one!"
Annnnnd... that's that. And I'm upset 'cause none of my stores sell Wi-Fi, 'cause Corpus Christi would rather make me go to "hot spots" to visit the AC towns of random strangers, when I'd rather meet my longtime friends from the Internet at the comforts of my own home at anytime. *rolls eyes* Ebay, here we come...
Ah well. I'm gonna listen to the "Phantom of the Opera" musicswammi sent me to cheer myself up. :333
Damn, I'm really nasty to Shadow today. XDDDD;;; *GASP!*
