Saliva - Click Click Boom |
] |
Funny how some of my deeper thoughts are brought about by things other folks take for granted, like anime, manga. Or, in this case, fanfiction.
The work in question, which is exceedingly good, despite some grammatical and spelling oversights, is called Frozen. It's an interesting work, based on Final Fantasy 8. I will warn you ahead of time if you averse to odd pairings (or "'ships", as the current slang goes), then you may not like this one, despite it's excellence. It does a very good job of pairing Quistis and Fujin.
I will do my best, here, not to post any spoilers. Because you really, really, REALLY should read it for yourself. It's a bit of a downer, this part, though. And, as often happens, I find a certain song comes to mind and I can see Rav arriving in a blast of Crimson and completely turning things on end for the good of all parties. BUt even with the re-written portion in my head, the words are written. And I couldn't help but recall what Deimos, Rav's teacher and a Hand of Fayte, says to him, fairly early on: "Despite your best intentions, kid, you can't save 'em all." Even with that in mind, the Avatar series is going to turn plenty of universes on their heads. *evil grin* But, still, this one story is one I can't really touch (though the pairing is well done, and I may inspired for something similar when the Bureau crashes teh FF8 reality. xD) And the full force of those words, from one of the characters in my head to another, really hit full force. And so, oddly enough, I get an epiphany, of sorts, from the most unlikely of sources. Hopefully, I can use this in my own writing.
Even with this realization, there will be a lot of the Crimson Avatar stretching himself to the breaking point to "take the hit", as it were. He, like myself, is more than willing to step into the line of fire if it shields his friends from harm.
And so, my introspective moment becomes a chat about my up and coming fic. Oddly fitting, as it was a fic that started this. Thanks to Chendzeea Li for such a wonderfully thought-provoking piece of work. Go check it out. It's worth your time. ^_^
-Zero, out (of the usual things. ^_~)
P.S. - The song I mentioned? The one I'm listening to right now, which is Saliva's Click Click Boom. Granted, the scene involved Rav having to fend off some of the baddies he has to deal with constantly (they either follow him or vice versa). But that part, after the rescuing and all, involved rock'n'roll, martial arts and a special pincer-style attack from the Crimson Avatar and Bahamut ZERO (my favorite summon attack of ALL time, GIGA FLARE). So yea. Maybe I'll wirte it up for the hell of it. If I do, I'll post is somewhere and provide a link. Ja ne!
