16. DCverse: Bruce/Dick. There is just no doubt about this. I'm convinced that even if Bruce was too ornery to actually ever throw it to him, Dick would jerk off about it regularly and at the top of his teenage lungs at the Wayne Mansion.
    
17. DCverse: Bruce/Cassandra Cain This is like the even scarier sequel to the first. It's like how Children of the Corn 2 was much scarier than Children of the Corn? THE CHILDREN ARE EVEN MORE FRIGHTENING NOW.

19. Star Wars: Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan, holy God. OT8.
    
20. Star Wars: Anakin/Obi-Wan, surprisingly enough. Ewan McGregor singlehandedly sold me on the depth of Obi-Wan's devotion to his stupid apprentice in RotS. He loved that boy, he loved that boy, he loved that damn boy, and Anakin just has it in the worst way for Obi-Wan. Nevertheless, when I try to think of actual Anakin/Obi-Wan and not Anakin slinking around in a torrent of manic-ragic infatuation, my head just bends and starts doing that Warp 10 stuttering approach from Star Trek.
    
21. Star Wars: Qui-Gon/Dooku. Start laughing at me, and I'll cry. I swear to God, I'll cry.

Re: falls asleep with his head in xavier's lap. WHAT MORE DO I HAVE TO SAY?

[stoptocheer.livejournal.com]

I'll hook you up with some numbers and things. I'll try and refind the head-in-lap-thing (which in the interest of fairness, I should point out is father/son symbology - it's the last thing Scott remembers of Corsair before the plane crash, falling asleep with his head in his lap *g*) - it's in one of my flatmate's issues. :D *will CLEARLY have to reread everything*

Yeah - I've heard that first one, though not the second. And what the HELL, Emma doesn't give him the cold shoulder when they have problems? Buh? I... what? Emma's happier than Jean to let him bottle things. Jean's the one who always >:0ed at him and made him actually tell her what was wrong, a lot of the time. In NXM, especially, when she just dressed him down for being self-centred. And the fact remains that Scott. Was. Mindchanged. Into. Being. With. Emma. Gah.

And omg, I may have to quote you on my userinfo for that part. :D!

Endsong... has... some good moments. The Phoenix saying that Jean longs for Scott. Scott pretending that Emma is Jean. The final moment of goodbye between Scott and Jean - the let me see your eyes, where I think it's pretty obvious that they're still all *floaty hearts* about each other, and always will be. But it felt too much like a HEY LOOK SCOTT/EMMA IS GREAT bandwagon for my taste.

so unholily rambly omfg.

It's always hard to talk about one pairing v. another when one pairing has been running for about 30000 years and has been written by sixty jillion people. It's even harder when one of thos characters is Jean Grey -- I mean, Scott gets shafted on characterization a lot, but at least he's consistently characterized as "uptight" or "asshole." Jean doesn't even get a fixed adjective. She's defined, instead, as the nexus of a whole bunch of relationships, and um, she's kinda characterized as anything from the biggest hobag to ever sprout two legs to being frigid to being a saint to . . . well, you know.

Whereas Emma has a much more limited history. She was an evil baddie, and now she's not. She was a hobag, and she's still kind of a hobag, but she's in love with Scott and a teacher.

Anyways.

I think what people are referring to re: the bottling up and stuff is, like, mostly based on the New X-men. Scott and Jean are having serious motherfucking issues -- Scott can't talk to her about, like, anything, whereas Emma is practically banging down the walls of his brain, trying to get him to dish to her.

There's also that part from Phoenix Endsong (issue 2? all I know is that it's the issue I read and screamed AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH PAINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNn becuase it features them in bed and them re-enacting that plateau scene and God, let me just tell you the shitfit I threw right there because "your beams won't hurt me, Scott." HELLO? They're concussive force beams, you cunt writers, not some kind of LASER BEAM; they shoulda torn her arms from their sockets or, at their very least, flipped that bitch head over teakettle, welcome to the laws of PHYSICS for this REALITY and omg longest parenthetical ever) where Scott curls up against her and says something like the fact that she'd keep after him and talk to him is why he loves her.

And you know. I can see this, in threads besides the ones that prominently feature E/S. Jean has a much more refined sense of personal space and privacy. Emma doesn't. It's the fundamental Essence d'Emma, whereas Jean is the chick who went nuts because she kept hearing other people's voices in her head. And like, in the original stories at the very beginning, right? The swirling angst-pits from the very beginning where Jean was like OMG I CANNOT TELL SCOTT MY LOVE FOR HIM :/ :/ :/ and Scott is like WAAAAAAAAAAAH SHE'LL NEVER LOVE THE FREAK WITH THE RED EYES :( :( :( They don't get toghet for, like, umpty billion years in the original because of communicatoin issues.

The best argument I've heard about communication-issue S/E v. S/J is that it's fundamentally fux0red because of the role that Jean has as Scott's dream-girl. She's, like, a standard that he has to live up to, and what with the way Scott is all about DOING THE RIGHT THING and LIVING UP TO EXPECTATIONS, I can totally grasp why he'd feel an almost pathological need to shut her out. I think it's fixable and, in their better times, Scott isn't so demented about Jean, but.

Goddamn, I love S/J.
