Atlantic The AC J/J vs. J/K argument thread!

The trick is to not get stuck playing it then...or to accept the consquences of your LOLing.

I so got burned on Truth the other time I played.

Maiden, you never had sex, you never took drugs (AFAIK) - how could you possibly get burned on Truth?


On topic: I had a thought about why people are so - intense about J/J vs. K/J. It's the SW fandom's equivalent of the "Bangel vs. Spuffy" controversy in the BtVS fandom (which, as you may know, has also produced many a heated argument). Angel is the noble "good guy" (when he isn't Angelus, that is ), like Jag. Spike is the exciting, rogueish "bad boy", like Kyp. They're archetypes, in a way.

So what it all boils down to in the end is the age-old question - "What does a woman really need?" The dashing rogue (who just needs the luuuuurve of a good woman... ), or the noble (and maybe a little bit boring... ) good guy? Ashley, or Rhett?

Maybe that's the reason why I'm pro-J/J, too - I've just had too many experiences with bad men to not appreciate a good guy who won't break my heart.


And then, I'm also not into K/J for the same reason I'm not into Harry/Hermione in the HP fandom. I have no doubt that Harry deeply loves Hermione, but he loves her in a "best friends" way, not in a "romantic love" way. Same with Kyp - his feelings for Jaina are that of a good friend or an older brother. And I think he makes a good best friend for her.


EDIT: Post # 3333.

 

That is a VERY good point. Though I think there is more involved than just the archetypes. The thing that affects me more is the age difference between Kyp and Jaina. It if wasn't for that, I think I would likely support K/J, because the two of them have very compatable personalities.

Then again, it is nice to have a potentially very major character who ISN'T a Jedi!

Devi, it's HANDMAIDEN ToD.

I think the issue is really the age difference though.

And I am right royally annoyed with the Great Jaina/Jag Cop-Out.

 

Hey, they're still FBs

 

FBs?

 

Yes, FBs

 

Are we not getting an explanation of that?




The Cleric 007

 

Oh, he told me.

 

Well, aren't you special...



The Cleric 007

 

Of course I am.

 

You can tell anybody you like what it means, Yubs, it's not like it's a secret code word

 

Wow, posting....and I thought this place was dead...

 

Never.

 

But the real question is, where is AT?

 

Who cares about AT...where are we?


The Cleric 007

 

I am here, you however are there.

 

Ok. thanks...and here I was thinking that I was here and YOU were there.




The Cleric 007

 

No, I am most defnitely here... Unless...

//Chex Atlas...


OOC: Chex? that's new, I said it first!

 

Actually, I believe Chex is the copyrighted name of a brand of cereal.



The Cleric 007

 

Trademarked.

But where IS Atty?

 

Trademarked

Whatever...you know what I mean!



The Cleric 007

 

Atty ate way to much chex, then turned into a magical yellow bunny named "Bolphus" and leaped away into the land of Sjedervurggumernen.
