Welcome to Gaia! ::

Oh, I agree. Earlier in the topic, I commented that I still had a problem seeing 4xD working because I don't know if Dorothy would be comfortable hanging around someone so darn squeaky clean. I think she'd need someone a bit more...well, the word that springs to mind is "dirty". Someone who's a bit more human, more flawed.

The way I see it, Dorothy would need someone who is smart enough to challenge her intellectually, and would have amusing reactions when she started getting frisky (as I imagine she'll do after a few years, when we hit the age where the cast actually starts thinking about sex).

Problem is, I don't see Quatre and Relena happening, They're too much alike in my opinion. There should be a balance. I see them more as friends. Besides, I think Dorothy and Relena are friends too in some strange way despite all the betrayal and junk. Yeah, Relena could be the link between those too since she is friends with both but most probably not a romantic interest for either. *shudders* I've seen Dorothy/Relena shoujo-ai... Haven't read any, just seen teasers.

For the sake of debate, Quatre did blow Trowa up and let him float away into space....but no one seems to find that a deterrence to a relationship. I've written both sides and I like Dorothy and Quatre because he seems to understand and empathize with her feelings. He knows why she stabbed him and doesn't hold it against her. And he's got quite the psycho laugh himself, caused I might add by the death of his sister and father, just as Dorothy's war psychosis was caused by the death of her father. If war was not a beautiful thing, then what was the purpose of her father's death? That's how she justifies her emotions.

I'm all against any kind of porn
but that's just me.
I dont care if others like it
because it is not my business
and they are sometimes nice people

Thus, should we use the term shounen-ai here instead of the oft-misused term yaoi?

Didn't say it wasn't remembered, only that it wasn't seen as a deterrent to romance between 3 and 4, which I am not against in any case although it is not my preferred pairing. Just bringing up a subject of discussion, I neither hate nor blame the character of Quatre for his actions, it adds an interesting dynamic to the relationship whether construed as platonic or romantic.

In my opinion, Dorothy in the series is also crazed by the loss of a loved one which is why she worships war and stabs Quatre. Much the same reason Quatre decided to blow up Trowa. So to me the stabbing should not be used as an excuse why they shouldn't be paired together. In my opinion the reasons behind her actions would probably inspire tender emotions in Quatre.

Lovely heart My feelings exactly! I also want to say that in both the case of Trowa being blown up by Quatre and Quatre being stabbed by Dorothy I always got the message of the show being that neither injured party blamed the person who inflicted the injury.
