It's because Gaki is win, Essy...simple as that.
Y'know, I just can't see that.
She annoys me on a subliminal level.
Though on some level I can see why the TakaGaki pairing works. Strange thing is though, it puts Ai completely subordinate to Gaki, yet Gaki is at mercy to Ai's whims. I don't deny the interesting dynamic, but since I just can't like Gaki, I find it difficult to write it anymore.
^ PSSSH!! Ai is win!
I notice I'm saying that and I'm not even a Ai fangirl. I'm a Eri fan. TEAM KAME!!
Thank you for defending Ai.
@kuro: Most of the time I do end up feeling sorry for Gaki, but I still can't like her.
Must be inherent bias. Though I have the capacity to find her hot at times, and funny as well, I'm just not a fan. *shrug* She lacks something for me to really like her...
@rokun: I love you.
Ai is pairable with either everyone, or none at all, depending on which school of thought you're going for. Someday I want to write an Ai/Aika mostly because Aika seems to view Ai with this...hmm, how do I put it...well, Aika feels like she wants to care for Ai. Even in that H!P ranking thing she wants Ai to be her boyfriend.
Too bad Aika's page seems to be missing, so I can't see her reason why for it...anyone know where I can find it?
EDIT: I take too long to reply. @_@ Two new responses while I was typing?!
@Tundra: Because pain is love.
That's why we make our favorite characters suffer just to see their reaction. I know if I liked someone I want to see them cry. o_O
And yes, Saiks is your big sister because she's my first younger sister. Therefore now making her the middle sister in this little family.
@strawhead: See, the reason why I am not in favor of that pairing is because I prefer something with more conflict.
I don't
believe in stability, mostly because I haven't had a positive example to compare to.
What I like is something either so sweet that it hurts, or so painfully tender and fragile that it could break at any moment...generally I just like work-in-progress relationships. Not that I'm throwing stones at stable ones, because stability is hard to maintain too. Just that my preference doesn't lie in that direction.
