I also got to see
My mother made me a new hat. It's pink and pretty, and so girly. I hope to share pictures of it soon.
Anyway, I'm now friended to
Anyway, said post and the fact that I'm just a pain in the butt sometimes, has prompted this rant....
I started watching PoT in June 2002, at that time, I did not know really anything about the series or knew anyone else who was watching it. From relatively early one, I became a MomoRyo fangirl *shock, yes I know, everyone just thinks of me as Fujicest, but I started with MomoRyo* but I had no other pairing I shipped. From the start, I did not *SEE ANY TEZUFUJI* cause you know what, it's not there! It's so *SUBTLE* you need to be on crack to see evidence for it. It was completely created by fangirls who wanted to see pretty tennis boys fuck. Now, I have nothing against this, I feel that way about SengokuxMizuki and my new favorite Tezuka pairing, which I ship rather hard. (And *SHOCK* he is seme!) But there is *NO EVIDENCE* for TezuFuji, Tezuka and Fuji don't even GET ALONG WELL! And please, no whining from TezuFuji fans about how they're being oppressed. That is just so sad and pathetic, cause your fricking pairing is among the most popular pairings in the English fandom, so please get a life. I've mostly held my tongue, but I decided after a recent post to
Not only is TezuFuji a crack pairing that has no evidence, makes no sense in the context of the series, and just completely sucks... But I wish TezuFuji fans could spend a few seconds to think about what they're saying and engage their brains. (Which I know is a challenge for some of them.) I mean, I hate TezuFuji, and so, *shock* I do not write it. I do not try drawing it. If you do not like a pairing, don't draw it and then denigrate the pairing. I mean really, didn't your families teach you any manners or at the very least some common sense or courtesy. Also, while I'm on this, Tezufuji fans seem to think they're some sort of born-again Christian sect, and need to constantly share their devotion to the pairing. Leaving a comment on a fic, that has nothing to do with Tezuka or Fuji, on how much you love TezuFuji makes you look brain dead. Think about this in the future.
And cause I'm still feeeling bitchy...
Yes, there is evidence for MizukiYuuta, I'm not going to pretend there isn't. But if you're going to claim it's true love, and Mizuki really cares about Yuuta, I have to ask you, did you watch episode 36??????? I mean, I'm not even going to go into the manga, where Mizuki SAYS "It was really easy to manipulate the stupid younger brother who only thought about his older brother." since most English speaking fangirls seem to ignore the manga. Mizuki does not try to get Yuuta to join St. Rudy's for Yuuta' "best" interest. Mizuki *MANIPULATES* a naive 12 year old boy because he can. Mizuki *TEACHES* Yuuta a tennis move that could *SERIOUSLY* INJURE him and does not *CARE* so long as the team wins! He does not WARN Yuuta of the dangers and let Yuuta decide, noooooooooo, he just takes advantage of a 12 year old boy. It's an abuse of power and trust. Mizuki *IS* the most evil character we see in PoT. While Keigo might try to ruin Tezuka's arm, Tezuka is not on Keigo's *TEAM.* Keigo does NOT have a responsibility to look after Tezuka's best interests. Keigo is also not practically 2 years older than Tezuka. (And yes, the age difference between Mizuki and Yuuta is almost that large.) Yuuta does not show any sort of interest, romantic or otherwise, in Mizuki, after he loses to Ryoma. Yuuta seems horrified, in the anime-only part of 40, where Mizuki promises to help Yuuta train, and in 71, Yuuta leaves Mizuki and Yanagisawa's company to seek out Ryoma *AS SOON AS THEY SEE THE OTHER BOYS*
As for Yuuta being seme to Mizuki....
All I have to say is, you enjoy your nice little crack, I have no idea where you found it, but you're on crack.
And these rants were brought to you by the letters X, Q and Y

I agree. I like TezFuj like I do many many other pairings (for instance, yes, Fujicest) but I have never seen any of the TezFuj fans act like you do. None of the pairings is canon and a fandom is there so people can enjoy playing around with canon. Don't forget Momo is one of the only guys that shows obvious interest in a girl (he blushed around Ann), but that doesn't mean that you can't write MomoRyo and make it work.
This:
Tezuka and Fuji don't even GET ALONG WELL!
is just not true. Makes me doubt you've even seen the series. I suggest you (re?)watch the eps about Yuuta and those concerning Tezuka's arm. People who don't get along, don't show personal concern for each other.
I have read lots of tenipuri fics and it seemed a very friendly fandom to me, without any childish wars going on. If you would like to see more of you fave pairings, your time was much better spent writing a fic about them instead of insulting people because they don't write what you want to read.

Date: 2004-01-17 11:47 pm (UTC)I have watched the series, and the eps about Yuuta MANY times. And I'm still rather sure of the fact that Fuji was focused entirely on his brother during those eps. And seeing as how I consider myself much more a follower of the manga than the anime, concerning Tezuka's arm injury, according to Konomi, Fuji doesn't run onto the court when Tezuka falls down. He stays right beside Yuuta. In fact, Yuuta looks more concerned than Fuji does. I do not see any sort of special concern on Fuji's part towards Tezuka in the anime, and the feeling I get from them is of two people who may respect each other as players, though that is in question because Fuji does not devote himself to the team like Tezuka does, but do not like each other and tolerate each other with a forced politeness. Fuji showing concern is him humiliating Mizuki for hurting his brother, or taking up Taka's bloody racket and vowing to play seriously for him. It is not him responding to a question from Tezuka with "Oh?" and then spacing out and thinking about Yuuta.
As for Momo blushing over Ann, Ohtori blushed over Shishido and Yuuta blushes at Fuji ^_~ I actually think the real crush with Ann is Kamio, as it's really been pushed. I don't think Momo is aware of women, unless they have a penis and/or are holding a hamburger.
I was not complaining about the lack of Fujicest fanworks, as not only do I write fics myself, but I have several friends who write and draw art. I am also quite happy with my Fujicest doujinshi collection. I am not demanding people stop writing their TezuFuji or YuutaMizuki fics, I just do not read them. I just ask that if they decide to draw or write a Fujicest fic, they don't denigrate the pairing in their comments.
