May Never KnowTopic: I tried posting this in another forum, but I didn't get any replies, so...HagaXRebecca?
I'm probably the very first shipper of Haga(Weevil)XRebecca... Yes. I know. It is TOTALLY crack. They've never met and not a single fanfic nor piece of fanart has ever been created for them. But, hear me out! My reasons for liking this pairing... -Both of them are extremely determined, confident, in-your-face, intelligent, people. -He would like her headiness. She would like his determination. -At first, Rebecca was as much of a brat as Haga is (while I DO like him, I acknowledge that he's a brat). But, she CHANGED (though maybe only a little so far). Since she herself has changed, she can help Haga, change, too! :D In time...and only a little. -Haga can help (albeit unintentionally) Rebecca mature by showing her that not everyone is how they at first seem on the outside. (Yugi's first impression is pretty much exactly what he is inside, after all...Same with Anzu (Tea) and Jounouchi(Joey)) -They would, to me, be visually appealing as a couple. Short, glasses-wearing, child-like appearances. It would look cute. -In the original Japanese anime, to Anzu, Haga says something like "Gentle girls are lovelier" in the Doma arc while under the influence of the Orichalcos. Something appeals to me about sticking Haga with a TOTALLY non-gentle-seeming girl and making it work. I can't explain. XD -Something appeals to me about sticking Rebecca with a guy who's practically Yugi's anti-thesis. The irony is delicious for me. STILL can't explain it... -Just IMAGINE all the trouble these two would get into. XD One's a young kid and the other doesn't give a crap about rules. -I have found no fanfiction or fanart for this pair. For some reason, I am most drawn to the unknown/unappreciated pairings...And this is definitely the most unknown one EVER. -Both of them seem equally intelligent (though Haga more obviously in the cunning and strategy department) and equally stubborn, who seem to clash as far as some of their morals (i.e. playing fairly) go. Good, interesting, arguments are sure to abound. And arguments like that bring people together! XD Or, at least, they can... -They are both flawed people, who would almost definitely start off rockily before growing to like each other as they are. That would make for a great fanfic demonstration of relationship development. -Haga and Rebecca both have bold personalities so that neither would be able to completely walk over the other. -I had a plot-bunny for the two of them: They would go at each others' throats at first, trying to best each other in everything they do, starting to unwittingly form respect and admiration for each other's merits. And then Rebecca would realize how sad he must be because of everyone being mean to him and she'd remember what it was like to not have friends (before meeting Yugi, I mean...Could YOU see a brat like that having friends?). And then she'd reach out to him from empathy and they would get to know each other, eventually falling in love! *cough* Yes, I have weird plot-bunnies...I've started the beginnings of a fic that has a side-plot of HagaRebecca friendship. Maybe, I'll write a fanfic for a romance between them when I escape the land of laziness. Who knows? :P Well, that's all I've got. :/ So, am I really the first person to come up with this pairing? Does anyone else like it a little now that it's been presented? Am I just plain insane? ^^' | #1 Aug 29th, 12:24pm . Edited Aug 29th, 12:25pm | |
