Pocky-chan

Saw Man of Steel.

 

 

Yeah its one of those things that I still can't believe happened to me XD but hey I guess it makes a good story. Anyhow thanks so much, I'm glad you like my kiddos names. I always wanted to name them something different and epic. So with Kaiden we came really close to naming him Logan (From X-men) Link (From Zelda) and Luke (of course Star Wars) but John was being really picky, every name I had a name I liked he didn't think it fit. Finally we were watching a movie on TV where the Hero was from space and he lands on a planet where the inhabitants are like vikings. I totally forgot the name but the hero has to help a village fight off a monster whose kind took over his planet. This guy was just all kinds of bad ass, and his name was Kaiden XD As soon as John said "hey I like that name" I made it official. After Kaiden was born we decided that he could be called Kai for short if he wanted. A few months later Dragon Ball Z Kai came out and that series is what got John and I talking in the first place, back in high school, so yeah his name was meant for him!

 

Gideon is actually named after a character from two of my favorite authors. They are Douglas Preston and Lincoln child and together they are writing a series that follows an amazing man named Gideon Crew. He's a con man mixed with a special agent who is a specialist at disguise and cat burglary. He's an amazing character and I was still reading the book when Gideon was born. Later on I was amazed to learn that Gideon's description looks wise matches my little Gideon perfectly XD

D'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaw 

That is insanely so cute to know how well these names worked out for you and your sons. All I know is if I ever had kids, I'm giving them granny and geezer names in hopes they'll grow old enough for them to be credible. Like Gertrude or Edmund...

Definitely like the Dragon Ball Z Kai bit, warms my geeky heart to see the ways of anime being incorporated into a new life 

AHHHHHHHHH MYYYYYYYY GOD 

IT'S CHUN LI IN ACTIOOOOOON

God, I will fangirl so hard to the ground if they make Van Damme Street Fighter references   I Love Ming-Na Wen and all the kickbuttery that she will bring to Shield.

Hahahahahha, army of half naked men I welcome thee with open arms and drool. 

 

Well, rant yes, bash no ^^

Though I didn't read any bashing. Just a very heartfelt post =3

Oh no, rant and bash away. I know for some people Orion and Diana is a couple that post butt slap should never be together, but with good writing I wouldnt mind it and I don't think it necessarily has to reflect badly on Diana or feminism if she did have something with him. As for the other couples, DC crappy romance writing is one of the reasons I have so many ships. I never bother to get invested in the comic counterparts of any of them, because I know it's only a matter of time before its blown to sheet.

 

Eh. If they thought putting the bad boy with the good girl would bring in sales, I doubt they would be selling SM/WW as the premier couple of the DCNu  (:

 

Isnt changing people one of the old school missions of Wonder Woman? And no, not the stupid change the man before you date him thing. People change because of Diana just being Diana. Not because she's got a mission to fix em before she dates him. 

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THE NICE RESPONSES ARE KILLING MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! I ALWAYS FELT LIKE I WAS AT WAR WITH PEOPLE JUST BECAUSE I LIKED SOMETHING THEY DIDN'T LIKE     

I FORGOT HOW POLITE AND RECEPTIVE THIS FORUM WAS       

This missing-nin loves you guys for being so respectful and geeky 

Also gonna add my guilty pleasure because I just remembered it now and I don't want to stray from topic.

Mar'i GraysonxDamian Wayne

They're like the cutest babies to have ever been paired both fanonically and Elseworlds. Uuuuggghhhh my heart twinges knowing there's not enough love for them among the community 

At the end of the day Wonder Woman would only fit in the Batverse long enough for them to show us why it wouldnt work. Still, I fell in love with the ship in the animated Justice League shows. 

 

BatWondy will always be dear to me, but I do like the bat with both Catwoman and Talia. 

 

As for SuperWonder, I like it but I don't care at all for how its currently being written. I think they are trying to show us that Clark's heart is at war with itself, but it looks like Diana is a second choice while he pines for Lois ( I cant remember exactly what was said, but  Clark said something like .."since Im with Diana I cant be with Lois". Even the way they got together was kinda blah.

 

If Orion stops being a massive buttface for a while, I could see myself getting into the idea of him and Diana.Amazon princess and the Dog of War.. Nice ring to it.

I seriously don't know how any of this posting stuff works, New Narusaku forum is making me run in circles, the future will be my death, you guys are so advance. B'aaawwww wrai am I so untech-saavy.

Anyways, god no. I hope Diana won't go for Orion, even if he stopped being a massive buttface, doesn't mean his sexism won't ever go away. The guy has been callously slapping Diana's butt and objectifying her, even if after she threatens to rip his balls off, it's not like he realizes his errors, he just doesn't want his balls taken off. For what Diana stands for women everywhere, I would be flipping my fingers to the heavens in anger while surrounded by senile and prudish seniors just because DC figured pitching the good girl with the "bad boy" would bring in more sells.

Like, narratively speaking, what would it take for a powerful guy (who's probably really old fashion implied by his skeezy choice of words) to change his views and perversion towards woman? I don't necessarily hate Orion, he adds depth and creativity within Wonder Woman's weird family sitcom casts. But that's probably it, he's in the mix as the random uncle that comes in randomly and hits on women like he's from the 50's. It's probably funny and paints Wonder Woman's world with a variety of colours, but to pair her up with a man who represents certain qualities no women should ever put up with would go against what Wonder Woman stands for in feminism.

I guess the same could be said for WonderBat... it was cute and funny in the JLU cartoon, untill the show began caricaturing Wonder Woman just so that she could crush on Batman and focus the show on how amazing Batman is. I always got the feeling that the show focused a lot of Bats. Which is unfortunate because I would've been happy to see more focus on Wonder Woman and her storylines (She has some pretty amazing mythos that could've been used more in the show's plotline), to develop her more as the super heroine recognized in the comics and not as Batman's potential love interest. Plus, Batman and Gotham is the only ship Batman will ever OTP.

I guess that's why I ship Superman and Wonder Woman, because before this whole relationship began, Superman and Wonder Woman probably had the most profound friendship between a man and woman. They both loved each other (platonically or not, Superman had Lois), and were equals. Equality between man and woman, both in strength and will. That stuff is hardly ever brought up in media, and Kingdom Come had me shipping these two like they were meant to be. Before the silly Nu52 happened, Wonder Woman's character has never been diminished by her friendship with Superman/Kal-el, in fact it was stronger. But Nu52 makes me just want to ship these two in fanon and not canon, unless DC does something right, I will never be happy with Superman placing Wonder Woman as his booty call.

Ugh, sometimes I just wish Wonder Woman just lived her life as a bachelorette just because the way DC puts women in relationships has always been written so badly and traditionally.

Haha, sorry for the rant. I'm not trying to bash your favorite pairings, in theories and fanfictions certain pairings would be written very well and cute, but I would probably die inside if these pairings were to happen canonically... (haha kinda dying a little with Superman x Wonder woman in the direction DC is currenting pacing at.) DC just sometimes seem to do my ship injustice...

They're the prime example of progressive development between a male and female heroine. The way Kishimoto builds these characters with their strength and flaws is so different from the general formula between anime relationship. Sakura and Naruto functions so well individually that the ever classic "I can't live without you" trope can kick itself out the door and sleep on the street where it belongs. This is the 21st century and that kind of thinking is probably the worst to define ideal relationships.

What I like best is that the two are their own characters without the other needing to define them completely but at the same time they would place the other's importance over their own. Kishimoto makes their relationship as something that won't risk the integrity of their character and strengths. Like, I can't see any other pairing in any other anime as fully developed and thought out as Narusaku.

Ya know?
