Okay remember how a few weeks ago (in my status so only friends saw it) I was freaking the hell out over a Japanese doujinshi that starred Mewtwo and Ganondorf in a relationship? Well apparently it's an ongoing series.

I'M HORRIFIED BY THIS.

... The character shipping has gotten further out of control.

Gag me with a spoon. DESTROY THE FAN-FICTION.


It must be inspired from Super Smash judging by the artwork for Ganon, I bet, but damnit, no one should ship Ganon with ANYONE. Much less a pokemon. The third cover scares me.

Isn't there copyright infringement laws somewhere so someone can bitchslap them and save the rest of us?

If copyright infringement laws were in place for fan things then we wouldn't be able to RP. I'm alright with GanondorfXsomeone so long as it's BELIEVABLE. THIS however is not. SOMEHOW they have a kid. She's got Mewtwo's tails and ears and looks like Ganondorf as a girl but with Taboo's wings. SHE IS SUCH A ******** SUE AND I CAN'T EVEN BE ******** TO LOOK FOR A FREAKING TRANSLATION TO CONFIRM THIS FACT.

As for copyright protection, I was referring to the fact that they looked like manga that would be bought and sold.

I always make sure to shun any online written works that include canon characters just out of principle.


So I did a little more digging, and it looks like doujinshi is tolerated for the most part in Japan because they say it does more good than harm. There has been some law issues in the past, but not nearly as many as I would have thought.

But blah, maybe there could be some early stories about Ganon before he went entirely crazy evil, but I never liked cross-overs or really anything that deviates from the original stories.

Oh boy then how do you deal with RPs with people playing as canon characters? And yes it is being bought and sold and I for one REFUSE to buy doujins. I will happily read scanlations but I REFUSE to buy s**t that a fan made. You are not the owner of that character therefore you get NO MONEY for what you've done.

Technically whoever's selling these doujins can get into SERIOUS legal trouble with Nintendo. They DO NOT tolerate doujins that represent their characters in ANY WAY. They get severely butthurt if anyone so much as MENTIONS their characters doing anything not family friendly.

That's what WW Ganondorf implies what his intent was in taking over Hyrule. He wanted to do it for his people's sake because Hyrule's king in OOT was a b***h that was basically being racist towards the Gerudo.

I love fanfiction. It is delicious when written well. /writesfanficsusingcanoncharacters

Gasp, you like the fan-fiction!

I'm just stubborn though, and it does boil down to my own personal preferences, but you have to admit that the majority of fan written works out there are plain garbage.


Or at least, that's what I almost always come across.

I entirely avoid RPs with people playing as canon characters, and I won't join them. Pokemon is entirely different to me, so long as we don't get an Ash, a Misty, or a Red or Blue.

I think there were more mentions of how Ganon was jealous of Hyrule's lands in other games ... but it's been awhile since I've replayed my Legend of Zelda games. Truthfully Ganon is my favorite character of the series, although, Lord Ghirahim was a hilarious twist in Skyward Sword.

Sad, sad truth. You're better off looking through Live Journal than trying to dig through The Pit aka fanfiction.net for nuggets of gold. There are a few good fics and authors on the site but they are few and FAR between. You wanna try to get the middle-aged housewives as writers. They are BY FAR the best kind.

T___T And here I was going to invite you to join Newbie.

Yes, OOT, WW, and TP are the ones I can recall off the top of my head.

I HAVE NOT BEATEN SS! NO SPOILERS PLOX.

... I would have never guessed that middle-aged housewives would be a source of fantastic writing online.

What's Newbie?


I would love to play Majora's Mask again, although, just thinking about that damned moon again gets me a little anxious. Truthfully, I haven't played anything before OoT, or anything on handheld devices, but I'm just not interested unless it has a 3D fighting system.

And no worries, I don't do spoilers! But after finishing Skyward Sword and the Thunder Dragon's challenge, my 'sword arm' is in peak condition, lol. I'll probably start it again on Hero Mode soon once I have more free time off of Gaia.

Same. I bought the original for my Wii and it's just kicking my a** all over.

:scratches head:

Oh ... are you talking about you using Mewtwo as a character?


That's a tiny bit different than a canon character, in my opinion. I know the origin story and the fact there is only supposed to be ONE. I'm still kind of iffy on the anime anyway, and the whole concept of legendary pokemon for that matter. I don't like using them in my games, but I'm just sore I can't breed them from MORE EGGS.

I'd be a lot more picky about legendary pokemon if they weren't available for every single person to catch at least one in every single game. Meaning that when you WiFi battle someone, they'll probably have all the exact same legendary pokemon as yooooou~

... Anyway, I'm rambling now.

And yes, you will feel pain if you play the game. Normally I would play such an awesome game like Skyward Sword almost nonstop, but BECAUSE it felt like I was risking serious injury to myself, I had to pace myself. I'd take breaks just so my arm and wrist could heal up. I'm kinda pro now.

So you might say that my version of pokemon canon comes straight from the games themselves.

That's not being too picky, is it?


Besides, I stopped watching the anime years ago, right around that time Ash got past the Orange Islands. Oh, and when I suddenly looked and there were like four different movies I hadn't even HEARD OF.

I don't collect cards anymore either. Too expensive and I have no one nearby to trade with.

But I am highly intrigued by this sequel to Black and White ...

Yes sir I am. I figured since you don't like people controlling canon characters then you'd just blow off the invite.

There would be SO MANY baby everythings around it wouldn't even be funny.

Yeah it does kind of suck but the games are each supposed to be a universe unto themselves so having everyone have the same Legendaries could be considered a multiversal meeting in wi-fi I suppose. If you wanna get meta that is.

I'll keep this in mind when I finally get a damn special controller to play the game. Parents got me the game, didn't get me the damn thing I need to play it. Ah well.

Nah, I wouldn't blow it off.

I wouldn't have joined the guild in the first place if I really did have a problem with Mewtwo being a player-controlled character.


BABIES EVERYWHERE

And that's very meta yet it soothes me to think of it that way. Yes, tiny universes in my pocket.

Oh right, the Wii Plus remote. I was lucky and got the boxed set with the game and the gold remote. Now it's my favorite to use whenever I play any game. It's a real big difference. HOWEVER ... The Wii is certainly my least favorite system.

Effectively you are GOD to those little streams of data and coding.

Parents COULD have bought the special limited edition version for me. Didn't. /headdesk

Yeah I'm not digging the Wii too much myself. It feels like a step backwards from the Gamecube in SO many respects.

Sure, sure, but it might be a while until Nolan makes it back to Route 1.

And you just watched a most excellent commercial that I have loved over many years.


Well ... if I had a GameShark or whatever it is crazy kids cheat with these days, then I would CONTROL EVERYTHING! Or maybe if I was a programmer.

I think I've had an experience like that before. Some kind of package deal someone didn't get for one reason or another. But I can't quite recall ...
