LOLLL I do love the walking around in cosplay thing -- it's always awesome to just make friends that way. Not to be a creeper but do you guys have any photos? I love FFVI cosplay >.> Either way I look nothing like Edgar in real life but I can pretend my bathrobe is a cape. *LOSER* safety_caesars and I have plans to do Terra and Esper Terra together for possibly Otakon 2012 - but we are really good at making plans and then running the fuck out of time, lol.
EVERYTHING YOU SAID ABOUT SEX IN THAT FIRST PARAGRAPH: YES. I mean, hey, I love porn that's just porn as much as the next person and I definitely can enjoy porn as just the physical, but for me, I love when sex is more than sex? If that makes sense? Whether it's a substitution for another person, or a an expression of something that can't be said with words, or a manifestation of other relationship problems -- ALL OF THIS IS WHAT I WANT. Sex that's just two people clinging together, sex as communication, etc etc etc. Positive OR negative, although because I am not a very sappy/romantic person I prefer the dark sides of it to the fluffy sides, but YES.
The death wish thing is! I can already tell I will be playing with that (once I stop writing embarrassing porn drabbles) because it's just fascinating. They are all more or less "okay" with death but the approaches are so different. Duo jokes about death and Shinigami in a way, and that's how he gets through it. Wufei can plaster it over with honor and justice. Quatre can rationalize it (or rationalize out of it). Trowa just isn't sure he or anyone else gives enough of a shit (which becomes even better once he starts realizing people do). And Heero just starts out with almost a HUGE death wish, I mean, we were laughing about it a lot, but it isn't as funny thinking about it realistically. And with Heero it isn't just his own attitude, it's always "I'm gonna kill you", to Relena, to Duo, to Quatre even - here's how I care about you, I'm just gonna kill you. Very interesting thoughts.
Heero waking up to his humanity IS awesome and amazing. All of them do, but Heero just comes so far from nothing to something.
YOU NEED TO WRITE THIS ROAD TRIP. JUST SAYING. >.>
also you have just extended the length of this comment INDEFINITELY by mentioning Rydia/Rosa OH MY GOD. MY PAIRING. (Disclaimer, I really do omniship in FFIV. My favorite relationship might be Edge/Kain/Rydia, which I have written ungodly amounts of already, I do not have any shame.)
I will have to look for recs! I am not sure -- it's a fairly rare pairing to come across, sadly, because it is SO AWESOME. I love Rydia and Rosa as a compare/contrast type thing, and I think even though they would have a wonderful positive friendship, there would always be a little bit of envy between them - each one wanting some of what the other one has. There's so much black/white meta in there too. UNFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
