Hey, don't blame me! I can't give you a cold from across the ocean >_> I'm feeling kind crappy still too though

Ugh, I feel like I might be coming down with something, which really sucks. I felt fine this morning, but by lunch time I had a itchy, scratchy throat that wouldn't go away no matter what I drank. I still have it, even after taking some cough syrup, bleick, that stuff is awful.  And my sinus are draining, which is making things even worse, I hope I don't wake up in the morning with an even worse sore throat, but I get the feeling that I might.

Mills, you should check out her new single "Dirty Laundry" I don't know what the album it's on is called, but I know the music video is on youtube.

You know, I swear I did one of these way back when on another website, but I'll be darned if it doesn't exist anymore. Oh well. Here we go again!

1. Lantis
2. Zazu
3. Fuu
4. Eagle
5. Hikaru
6. Ascot
7. Umi
8. Geo
9. Tatra
10. Presea
11. Tarta
12. Ferio

Have you ever read a Six/Eleven (Ascot/Tarta)
Nope, I don't think I have, but you could make it work I think, Tarta does have a lot in common with Umi.


Do you think Four (Eagle) is hot?
Hell yes I do, damn, something about a guy in uniform I guess? haha


What would happen if Twelve (Ferio) got Eight (Geo) pregnant?
Oh gods, I think some serious gender bending would have to go going on, and it would cause a huge fuss, since if Cephiro is keeping it's royal line the kid would be inline for the throne???


Can you rec any fic(s) about Nine (Tatra)?
You know not too many come to mind, but two I can think of that she's a least a supporting role.

El aguila y el dragón - It's in spanish, but if you don't mind reading it with a bad translator??? She's more of a supporting character in this one, I think someone is doing an engish translation of it.  Find it here -> https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3492923/1/El-aguila-y-el-drag%C3%B3n

Echoes of Destiny- I think she also has a supporting role in this one, I need to reread it to be honest though I'm not sure. Can be found here ->https://www.fanfiction.net/s/853663/1/Echoes-of-Destiny


Would Two and Six (Zazu/Ascot) make a cute couple?
I don't think so personally, but I know a few people who do think it's cute.


Five/Nine (Hikaru/Tatra) or Five/Ten (Hikaru/Presea)? Why?
eeeh, Hikaru/Presea I guess, I've actually seen that one before.


What would happen if Seven (Umi) walked in on Two (Zazu) and Twelve (Ferio) having sex?
Damn Ferio always ends up a cheating bastard in these. I'd say she'd want a bottle of brain bleach, after she kicked Feiro's ass for cheating on Fuu.


Make up a summary for a Three/Ten (Fuu/Presea) fic.
Oh man...I've got nothing...not unless you did some kind of odd threesome with Ferio.


Is there any such thing as One/Eight (Lantis/Geo) fluff?
I'm sure it prolly exists somewhere, though it might be more of a hurt/comfort thing, because Eagle is dead?? (anime only)
I actually have fic rec that has the two of them in it, not as a pairing, but it's still good -->https://www.fanfiction.net/s/785801/1/City-Rhythm

Suggest a title for a Seven/Twelve (Umi/Ferio) hurt/comfort fic.
Uuuh, "What Lies Beneath?" Fuu would be dead in this fic I'm sure


What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted Four (Eagle) to deflower One (Lantis)?
Uuum, I think it'd have to be the other way around honestly, Lantis is got waaay more experience/years on Eagle, unless somehow being a Cail in Cephiro is like being in the Swiss Guard or something??? Yea, lets go with that.


Does anyone you know read Seven (Umi) slash?
a few people on the forum do I believe, but not a ton?


Does anyone you know read Three (Fuu) het?
Nearly all the fandom???


Does anyone you know write or draw Eleven (Tatra)?
I've drawn a little doodle of Tatra before, with tea!


Would anyone you know write Two/Four/Five (Zazu/Eagle/Hikaru)?
Nope, but I wouldn't put it past a few people to try it.


If you wrote a song-fic about Eight (Geo), which song would you choose? (Not a character image song)
"Who You'd be Today" - Kenny Chesney it'd involve his relationship with Eagle (post anime) platonic or romantic

It ain't fair you died too young
Like a story that had just begun
But death tore the pages all away


If you wrote a One/Six/Twelve (Lantis/Ascot/Ferio) fic, what would the warnings be?
Threesome. guy/guy, OOC, and 'what the fuck was I on when I wrote this'


When was the last time you read a fic about Five (Hikaru)?
hummmm, one about her specifically? Been a few years I think, well I lie I think I read one where she was living in a house with Lantis and Eagle was a ghost??? And they were all cool with it? That was last year I think.

Oh man, this was terrible and most of them weren't even the funny ones! PIff

YOUR INFO~
tumblr:
where can I contact you?: email, tumblr, here whatever is easiest for you)

Also I'm cool with fanart too

WHAT YOU RECEIVE~
which characters/relationships would you most like in your gift?: Umi/Eagle of course if anyone wants to indulge my crackshipping, but anything solely based around Eagle I'll likely enjoy. Friendshippy stuff with Eagle and Fuu?
any characters/relationships you want avoided?: I'm not a big Clef/Umi fan most other canon stuff I'm cool with. But I don't much care for Nova, so unless you're suddenly going to write her in a way I might like, leave her out.
general Likes: slice of life stuff is great, AUs are cool with me, I'm really not super picky, so have fun.
general Dislikes:I don't like Eagle/Geo much, I prefer them as friends.
approximate max rating you’d be comfortable with: Any
list up to five prompts for your gift!

• Well we do have the 'virgin queen' joke I had running in the chat about Eagle being the kind of person to be solely devoted to his country at the expense of a personal life
• Modern AU with Eagle as a fighter pilot?
• Something with Eagle/Umi and baking and or sweets involved, idk?
• Eagle and Fuu friendship fic

IDK, if Eagle is in the fic I will most likely love it.

/copy-pastes from last year/

WHAT YOU GIVE~
characters/relationships you’re most comfortable writing: Umi/Eagle, Hikaru/Lantis, Fuu/Feiro, most canon stuff really, not great at Clef/Umi but well I'd sure give it a go if requested. I don't mind Hikaru/Eagle or Lantis/Eagle either.
tropes you’re most comfortable writing: slice of life, introspective stuff, some light comedy, drama, I can even crank out a decent mystery fic if called upon, friendshippy fics with just about any of the characters really.
characters/relationships you’re NOT comfortable writing: Geo/Eagle I don't like, I admittedly don't have a lot of experience writing female/female stuff, but well I'd try? lol
things you absolutely will not write: eh, I'd try to write anything really, besides, creepy rape fics or the like, though ask for smut at your own risk, lol
are you willing to write any gifts that will need filled last minute?: Yes, though the sooner someone lets me know the better.

huzzah, all done!

So let's get this ball rolling. I'll prolly add more later when I'm more lucid, haha.

So how did I end up so hardcore over this crackship?

Hell if I know.

It wasn't even my favorite ship right out of the gate, never really occurred to me reading the manga, or seeing the anime for the first time. I don't think they ever exchange one single bit of dialog to one another in the manga or the anime, unless you count Eagle shooting her in her mashine, haha

Eagle was always immediately my favorite character, but I don't think I felt the need to ship him with Hikaru, though I don't mind it, or with Lantis, I'm pretty neutral to that pairing. So I was kinda stuck on finding fics with Eagle in it that had any kind of interaction I enjoyed. He doesn't pop up in a lot of fics on his own, so I went scouring FF.net back in the day for any and all fics Eagle in general.

And low and behold this little baby popped up - https://www.fanfiction.net/s/123643/1/Surprise

And while not an epic work of fiction, it is cute and funny and after reading it I was like...hummm...you know that could work if...

Thus and OTP crackpairing was born.

10 years on later I'm still working on the fic that was born sometime in the weeks after that. Oh lordy how time flies.

I'll be adding more feels later when I'm less sleepy, hee.

TBE

Umi x Eagle - general discussion/appreciation/flail

(insert decent fanart here)

The long in coming and very overly late thread is finally here. Everyone's favorite crackship of choice, Umi and Eagle.

Let us know what you think, hate it, love it, no idea how anyone ever got the blasted idea in the first place, fire away! We want to hear your feels.

Ship Appreciation Thread Guidelines:

• Keep content here PG-13. Feel free to leave any filth in Rarabai. You can link to higher-rated stuff, just mark it as such.
• This is a feel-good thread. If you don't personally ship it you can still post here as long as what you have to say is positive (or at the very least neutral) towards the ship.

I figure since I'm for so many reasons the main patron of this ship, I should get around to explaining myself properly.

*cuts ribbon*

I can say the first and only thing that came across my mind when thinking of this ot3 was, 'omg can you imagine the shouting matches???' I bet you can hear them all the way to Autozam.

Welcome Firefly! Don't worry we're not dead, just a bit quiet! Feel free to poke around and post in older threads!

I got a hold of a Fuu di-cut card on ebay to day, kekeke. I will eventually get all of them!

Haha, well thank you Mokona. Let's just hope you nothing happens to you in the meantime. 

Now you have me thinking that I should have Fuu try to infiltrate the royal Chizetan court somehow, how I do not know, haha she'd stick out like a sore thumb and I don't think she'd be any more thrilled than Umi to be wearing a skimpy outfit, haha

So like, if everyone doesn't know already I scored a huge lot of these off of ebay and pretty much own every common card now, save for

(17) (20) (32) (33) (87)

I now also have all the Rs with several doubles, sometimes triples in the case of the common cards. So if anyone wants to trade, or you know just very badly want a particular card, if I have an extra I might be persuaded to part with it >.> since you know they're not super expensive or hard to like mail around the world.

Sadly none of the SS, SP or di-cut cards in the lot. None of the TOs either.

If you end up with doubles of any of the ones with Ascot (minus the one I already have, of course), hit me up. You know I'm always a slut for Ascot. In my own asexual way.

I have doubles of Ascot cards now Mokona, and some of the extra puzzle pieces too!

So, I think I've decided what I want to do for MKR weeks coming up this summer and I feel the need to spit it all out and get some feedback if possible.

I want to do three separate 'what if' excerpts from a fic I want to write after I finish Ice and Snow that takes place after season one, with at the end Princess Emeraude being unable to complete the spell to send the knights home before she dies. She ends up partially casting it, so the knights end up separated, on different worlds, suffering from grief/regret (and prolly some serious PTSD) and without their families or the other knights to help them out. They have to pull themselves back together, find the will to fight once more and somehow make it back to Cephiro and into 'season 2' so to speak. All the while in foreign countries, that may or may not be deciding to invade and turn hostile. Hohoho.

So far I have Umi ending up in Autozam, eventually ending up on the floor of the Autozam senate giving them the worst tongue lashing ever for their B.S I think. Plus the amount of simi apocalyptic, cyberpunk ideas I have for Atuozam will be so much fun.

Hikaru I think, will actually never make it out of Cephiro, she's there, to watch the whole world come tumbling down. I thought about sending her to Chizeta but the amount of anxiety I could pour fuel on with her staying in Cephiro proved too delicious to pass up, plus...I just could think of nothing interesting that she could have happen to her in Chizeta??? Ideas???Anyone??

and Fuu is the one giving me the most trouble, I thought at first of her ending up in Farhen, but then that would leave out a country (Chizeta) and Fuu would be interacting with the same nation she did in the anime (instead of mixing things up, with who interacted with who, which was my original intent.) I did also entertain the thought of either her or Umi ending up visiting two nations on their way back to Cephiro, but idk. Thoughts? Any ideas? comments?

I'm going to mostly nod and agree with everything you put, I'll admit Lafarga isn't a character I've given a great deal of consideration to before (Sorry Lafarga!) and I'll also agree that he and by the same theory, Ferio, are capable of learning magic, they simply chose swordsmanship over the former. Maybe Cephiro is like my college, if you majored in the fine arts you were not allowed to have a minor, so you could focus solely on attaining your BFA. So maybe if you choose either swordsmanship or magic, you generally by default do not really dabble in anything else. Guess there must be special rules for Cails, humm Lantis?

Funny thing this made me think of though, was in the anime didn't Alcyone use a sword along with magic? So I guess in theory you can dabble in a secondary skill, but you have to be a master of both to attain Cail status?

Omg getting off topic, sorry Lafarga! >.<

I personally think he took his duty very seriously, but I don't think he severed under Princess Emeraude long enough for him to see and understand her relationship with Zagato that set off red flags for Lantis.

I also never really considered his animosity towards Lantis is season 2 to be from that fact that he left Cephiro and his position behind. I mean for real WTF would anyone have expected Lantis to do? Kill his brother? Help Clef send children turned knights to off the Princess and his brother? I mean, you can argue that Lafarga's grudge is from him leaving and not helping, but I personally always thought it was because he only came back just in time to be invaded by the country Lantis had spent so much time in. Oddly I wonder how they all knew where he'd been anyways? Lantis tell Clef and then Clef passed the information on to Lafarga and others? Lantis told people where he had been before they realized they were about to be invaded by Autozam? Would Lafarge had acted differently if Lantis had spent more of his time in another nation? IDK.
