Haha, yeah! safety_caesars even helped me mod a little this year, since both my co-mods (Nay and Ira) had very busy shitty lives on and off. And it's nice to have a real-life friend to poke you into finishing all of the fanfiction you've started over the last three years and never finished (whooooooops). I am definitely Edgar -- I'm actually an engineer in my real life XD -- and she is Locke. We hope to cosplay it together someday (actually, she has a fabulous Locke costume -- I have a Celes sprite costume from a big FFVI group, in fact, if you want proof of our utter nerdiness, here you go) but right now we just cosplay in bathrobes. Mine is purple and fabulous, hers is zebra striped. It works.
And YES, that's one of my favorite character/relationship issues -- loyalty and devotion and love and how SERIOUSLY EFFED UP it can get. I actually love FFVIII for this (honestly: it was not the greatest game to play, but I really ADORE it fannishly. It's one of my favorite canons to create for, probably because of all of the holes it leaves in its cast), and FFVII as well.
And! I find it -- ok, as Becky and I were watching GW it kind of became a joke in terms of how many times someone tried to self-destruct, or how often somebody made a move to kill themselves (TROWA THIS MIGHT MEAN YOU), but like looking back at it that's something that's absolutely FASCINATING and something I really want to explore. They are all OKAY WITH DEATH. and they're FIFTEEN YEARS OLD. And they're just like, "MEH, SELF-DESTRUCT, ITS COOL."
Like that whole scene: Trowa dies because he knows his death will wake up Quatre. Then Quatre is OK with Heero killing him (!!!) because then he can go save Trowa. THAT ENTIRE SCENE IS A HUGE HEARTFUCK and it's like they are ALL ABOUT DYING but yet not thinking about what they mean TO EACH OTHER? (THIS SCENE. MY HEART. JUST RIP IT OUT.)
And then they all come back together and work as a team and Quatre PWNS the Zero System and it's like there are echoes of all of that "No, it's okay, kill me" everywhere -- and then fighting with Dorothy and with Trowa coming to SAVE him, I mean, look how far we've all come from the death wishing?
and I KIND OF FIND THAT REALLY INTERESTING. IN MY PANTS.
I am also intrigued by the conversation in the car. Something like:
"..." "..." "..." "...so the last one didn't want to kill you either." "...nope." "..." "..."
AND ON INTO AWKWARD ETERNITY
(I am sorry, I have this huge thing for REALLY AWKWARD MAKEOUTS. I don't mean like awkward-embarrassing, but like awkward TENSION EVERYWHERE??? And that it what I see happening on that trip.)
and uhhhhhhhhhhhhh I think I could really get into a 1x4(x3) scenario. Pretty hard. I like threesomes -- not *just* like "threesome porn" but COMPLICATED relationships, stuff like that where there's projecting and muddled feelings and substitution, and lots of confusion (and then it can END HAPPILY with an actual threesome (lol)).
I can really see Dorothy's obsession with Relena becoming something that's like... dark, but also ends up being positive? In a way? I mean, mindfuck ahoy, but Dorothy would be this weird combo of appreciative and resentful and HEY MAYBE YOU SHOULD FINISH THAT *ENCOURAGES*
