Re: Crack Pairings 3 - 50% More Squick
I don't know if it's because I love V too much or because Cracklord's hatred has rubbed off on me, but I can't appreciate Belkar hurting V in any way. I hope the "happened a few years ago" part was a lie.
Good story though.
Well, seeing how he reacted when he saw Elan or Roy naked, I figured he wouldn't like slash too much.Last edited by Dark Faun; 2009-11-21 at 01:51 PM.

And thus, V Charmed Durkon into kissing Belkar.

Re: Crack Pairings 3 - 50% More Squick
I'm leading up to it. In my current story, Belkar is about to kill Elan and Celia. You know the rest. I'm just using the opportunity to explore as many characters as I can, and horribly mistreat Belkar for my own sick amusement, and the rest of you's horror.
I like Celia, because she's a fairly complex, interesting character, becase she sticks to her principles even when dangerous, and because she hates Belkar, and I have to like anyone who hates Belkar the same way the USA had to support anyone who called themselves anti-communist.
But I can't imagine her with V.Last edited by Cracklord; 2009-11-21 at 02:23 PM.

Re: Crack Pairings 3 - 50% More Squick
Because V is very uncertain about it's sexuality. Perhaps the wizard is simply not interested in it, perhaps water-smurf is right and V is just sexually confused and so repressed those feeling and emotions. Either way, they would both want very different things from a relationship. Celia, on the other hand, is very liberated. She had sex with Roy on the first date, she doesn't mess around.
Second, they are both very intelligent, if a bit naive, but neither are inclined to consider others opinions. They both simply consider themselves right (though V is trying to work past that, and Celia can accept what Roy does. She just doesn't like it). So, fights. Two people refusing to give any ground on their chosen philosophy is not a foundation for a stable relationship, unless they can ignore it, but since that issue defines so much of their characters I can't see them doing that. It only works with Roy because he's willing to agree with her principles while at the same time expressing it needs to be done.
Both, in any real relationship, need guidance, V in the sexual side, Celia in the other side. And V doesn't have the patience or inclination to teach.
Third, they want totally different things out of life, and looking at the two characters I see almost nowhere that there wants or expectations mesh.
Of course, the Ship must flow.Last edited by Cracklord; 2009-11-21 at 02:48 PM.

Re: Crack Pairings 3 - 50% More Squick
I suppose that's why they never had a relationship.
Although, if you want to go there, not as much. Those two are both sexually-uncertain, and their respective philosophies basically boil down to 'I'm always right.' Aside from that (though that is a pretty massive hurdle), and the insurmountable arrogance on both parts ( I do not respond to elf, nor those intellectually inferior to myself), they'd probably be OK, if they could learn to respect each other.
Hypothetically, the two might be inclined to learn about sex together.
V and Celia is even worse then that tangle, because Miko and V are following the same line. Celia is going in another direction, and any relationship has no foundation to stand on (Miko and V want many of the same things). Even a one night stand, or that classic (to me at least), post-mortem hookup, would be impossible due to Vaarsuvius's repressed sexuality.

Re: Crack Pairings 3 - 50% More Squick
Wait.... why do we think V's uncertain about sexuality? V just has a problem with gender, and as V's married it's obviously not that much of a problem.
Unless V's relationship with Inky was even worse off than we think...
Or am I getting mixed up about specific terms?

Re: Crack Pairings 3 - 50% More Squick
Well, I remember a certain scene that any two year old would recognize as a fairly blatant attempt at seduction, and V thought Inkyrius was giving the wizard an opportunity to study in the library.
The whole lack or familiarity with gender, beyond a running joke, suggests a lack of familiarity with your own sexuality. And V is unable to recognize Roy turned into a women, or why two hot female paladins making out is provocative, or any of a hundred little examples like that.
I get the feeling Inkyrius and V's relationship was fairly platonic.
Truly, jokes are like frogs. Once you sit down and dissect them, they stop beig amusing.Last edited by Cracklord; 2009-11-21 at 03:08 PM.

Belkar in Hell [Part 2]
Belkar in Hell [Part 3]
Belkar in Hell [Part 4]

then he's resurrected on schedule, and:

Re: Crack Pairings 3 - 50% More Squick
I have read your suggestion, and understand the concept, but you have failed to see the whole story. One of the fundamental aspects of crackpairings is getting rid of inconvenient side characters. Or love interests the audience does not like.
For instance, a rabid Twilight fan may kill off Bella so sparkles and wolfy can be together. Belkar is my banhammer, wielded to allow Kyuubi's story to come to pass.
Sometimes, a character is hated because it's annoying. Or because it came in after the show Jumped The Shark, or was the character who actually jumped the shark. Or because it's a raging Mary Sue/Scrappy and gets too much attention. The list goes on. But, when Shipping comes into play, the character is hated for existing at all.
Elan's the source of many of the strips comedic moments, and I like Celia's character, but if Roy and Haley are to get together...
So, this strip will be a transition, allowing me to put Belkar back in hell, and Belial's tender(ish) embrace, and prune two inconvenient characters from the sides.
It will still be crack, fear not.
Whatever happens, the crack must flow.Nadir We,

Re: Crack Pairings 3 - 50% More Squick
Except, of course, this IS the crack pairing thread. So there's always another way to get rid of people. In your aforementioned Twilight example, Bella doesn't have to die - she can just hook up with Alice instead. Similarly, wouldn't Celia and Elan make a cute couple? They're both so innocent and naive about the way the world works...
Er, yeah. Not that this should cause you to change a thing - I can tell it wouldn't fit your idea for the story. Actually, I just wanted an excuse to mention Bella/Alice.
