For the love of...? The one-sided ship war!
Why do people have to be so quick to knock other people's warmfuzzies?
Pictures like this and this keep coming out -- pictures where Kallen and Gino are interacting in a way that makes my dorky little fangirl heart happy, the same way that their positions in this picture do. Did they have to have that significant camaraderie moment before the final battle? No. Do they need to snark at each other, or stand angled into each other like a couple? Does Gino have to be playing with her hair? No.
This pairing has the power to make me flail in stupid fangirl ways that I'm not used to. Usually my ships are logical, and I approach them logically. "Oh, look at this, Suzaku is hanging all over Lelouch in this picture. Awesome. Lelouch's tiny happy smile and his blush are so adorable."
But something about Gino/Kallen makes me go "OH MY GOD GINO AND KALLEN ARE STANDING NEXT TO EACH OTHER" and "OMFG GINO AND KALLEN ARE LOOKING AT EACH OTHER SDFKS:GKJL" and "HE'S PLAYING WITH HER HAIR OMG EVERYONE HE'S PLAYING WITH HER HAIR!!!1"
So I keep getting these slightly shippy pictures and being happy about them, but then I keep looking at the comments, and stupid people say things like, "Well this officially sinks Gino/Kallen lolol" and I'm like. What's your problem? Why do you need to say that? Is this tiny inoffensive unpopular pairing really grinding your gears? Could it be because you're in desperate denial that Kallen could ever move on and like a man who actually does like her, as opposed to Lelouch?
Gino/Kallen doesn't even interfere with Lelouch/Kallen. Spoiler alert: Lelouch dies. Kallen's eighteen. Stop ruining the next seventy years of her life!
And stop making icons like this one. Hey, it's funny how the same picture that sinks my pairing is a pairing picture for you, provided you Photoshop Kallen to be anywhere near Lelouch and then change the expression on her face! I'm sure he looks that happy because he's thinking of her.
