Duck x Slam?

Martiangirl · Loonatic

Sorry. . .I just can't see that.

But, hey, if you feel the urge to write it, don't let anyone else stop you.

-is still hiding under rock- I sowwy. But the idea popped into my head one day, and it wouldn't stop bothering me, even after over three months!

Speaking according to the Canon plot in the show, I don't see that happening.

Of course this can be said about Rev and Tech. Anyways, I can see it happen... but it has to be very convincing.

the_oddity · O HAI THAR

O_o Someone picked 'yesh'. I am afraid. -shivers- Or maybe I'm just cold. Chicago is going through a cold spot right now.

Maybe I should actually look into this pairing a little more. -is instantly bricked-

Bugs Bunny doll: She's bleeding!!

teddy bear: Oh, dear. She said something about DuckxSlam, didn't she?

Bugs Bunny doll: Uh, hello? Bleeding?

Akira_Cat · Your local cat

Well they do make a good partnership for comedy purposes but not anything for romance or having a "relationship" with each other. Laurel and Hardy comedy duo, just that.

Black Oracle · Black Hole Survivor

Oh my. So what brought this idea on oddity? As Akira says, i think they just make a good comedy duo.

Hi Oddity, it's Lumosnight! I just wanna leave a message to tell you that DO NOT WRITE THE FIC!!!!

Heh, just kidding. You have the right to write anything you want (even though I do not agree on the couple). I mean, everyone has the right to - BEEP!

[End of message. Time's up.]

teddy bear: One new message =D

dOMITUPSYK · Loonatic

O_o You're not the only one being haunted. I've been haunted by everything- Including Optimatus/Massive. -shiver- That was the scariest thought EVAR in my life.

the_oddity · O HAI THAR

...MENTAl IMAGES. -flop-

XD Man, the weirdest pairings like to go after me. Someone suggested Duck x Slam before me though - it was in a fanfic, where Rev had a dream that Duck and Slam were making out on the beach. X_x MENTAL IMAGES. -flop-

Black Oracle · Black Hole Survivor

Agh! Stop! Stop! You're both contaminating my safe little world!

the_oddity · O HAI THAR

I sawwey. T_T But me and Doma has it worse...

Bad grammer. Dang. XP

Super Freak · Beast

In a word--No.
Duck needs someone who's understanding and willing/able to put-up with his enormous ego; not someone who would most likely end up having him for dinner.

Rye · Anthros

Interesting thought... o___O;
But no. x3

the_oddity · O HAI THAR

XD Yay, people agree with me! -is stared at-

...what? Just 'cause I put the topic up doesn't mean I support it!

S'okay even if you did though. Power to the freedom of speech!

This is what happens when you grow up in the U.S. and then come back to Canada. oo;

I grew up in Chicago!

I was born in Ontario but I grew up mostly in California.
I never really stay in one place for very long though.
The house I'm in now is the 30th one I've lived in since birth.
o__o; Moving to the 31st this summer, I hope.

Indeed. ;D
They own two long-haired Siamese-looking cats that are s'posedly outdoor but I've seen them let those kitties inside.
And besides, there was cat hair all over the basement when we moved in.
They claim that the last tenants were hiding a dog.
Hmph.

the_oddity · O HAI THAR

Suuuuure they were. Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure they were.

Lumosnight · Loonatic

Hey, I left my message some posts ago. I already said what I think.

the_oddity · O HAI THAR

I think...um...

Jacovie: Pineapples don't have sleeves.

...man, that was the stupidest story EVER to be put in a standardized test.

Lumosnight · Loonatic

I was watching 'I am Slamacus' on dailymotion when I had some spare time, and the scene where Duck trains Slam for the tournament can be actually seen in a slashy manner. When Slam trains, Duck keeps yelling things like 'C'mon Slam! Give me moooore! Go for the burn!'

In fact, there are slashy things with Duck, such as this controversial pic:
https://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q92/Waterjewelemi/Spacert46.jpg
Tech looks a little too pleased and his hand seems to be in an inappropriate place.

Also, in the Pinkster ep, when Ace was (supposedly) losing his powers - Duck was the only one who yelled 'Ace!' while everyone else was pretty much stone cold.

Duck also seems to have a fetish for feminine clothing, as revealed in Apocalypso.

So this sums up into one question: Why do they keep portaying Duck gay?!

Or perhaps it's just our imagination.

Skifox · Frelengian

I think there are two possibilities, which apply not only to Duck, but also to Tech, Rev, and every pairing that's been hinted at in the show:

1. The writers and artists don't realize how some of their content can be interpreted.

2. They're putting that stuff in to drive the more... attentive fans crazy.

I tend to favor to latter, because these 'hints' about orientations and attractions occur so often, I find it difficult to believe that they're not intentional.

Whether or not the writers intend for any of it to be canonical, at least within the confines of the studio, I don't know. Either way, I think it's all along the same vein as the subtle jokes, references, and mature humor that are sometimes added to keep older audiences entertained, but is over the heads of most children. The original Looney Tunes did that extensively, as has much theatrical animation.

Black Oracle · Black Hole Survivor

Gah! Stop putting more disturbing thoughts into my head you guys! I personally don't go looking for gay references in the eps when i watch them. What goes on between the Loonatics is just innocent fun right? Right?!

-- Edited by Black Oracle at 17:19, 2007-04-12

Skifox · Frelengian

SEE! They're trying to make your brain hurt!

Your probably right, though, for the most part. Duck is about as likely to turn out gay as Slam is to give up pizza. I just don't get the vibe from him. Anything on that front is just for hilarity, IMO, and it's all stuff that would be interpreted innocently by young children.

Tech, on the other hand, I really, truly think is not straight. Disregarding extremely shippy moments like the "Weathering Heights" wink, his overall body language and dialog suggest that he more than likely is batting for both teams, whether the writers and artists intended to give him that trait or not. It's hard to explain precisely - just lots of little things that straight people wouldn't necessarily pick up on. I suppose there's a certain degree of wishful thinking involved in my interpretation, but the fact that I'm aware of that suggests that the effect is minimal.

Black Oracle · Black Hole Survivor

Tech not straight?! Oh sugar! There go my chances with him.

But I think the way Tech acts is part of reflecting his personality. He's can be very 'animated' when he's going on about his work, coz he gets that excited about it. And i suppose Rev gets on his nerves so much that he struggles to keep his composure sometimes with him.

Skifox · Frelengian

Don't worry, my dear. Note the "batting for both teams" part. There is middle ground, y'know. ;)

Maybe, but I'm taking all that into account and I come to the same conclusion. Even for a cartoon character, he doesn't move or behave like he's completely straight.

I think non-heteros are just more sensitive to subtleties than straight people. We depend on it to determine who we can pursue (barring being somewhere like a gay bar/club), whereas you can use gender to make the same determination. As I said before, though, I'm not rejecting the possiblity that I'm reading into things too much. I'd be pretty arrogant, otherwise.

Black Oracle · Black Hole Survivor

I'll never be able to look at Tech in the same way again now....

the_oddity · O HAI THAR

Neither will I...I'll just look at Duck instead! 8D -book'd-

Skifox · Frelengian

Sorry to shatter your image of Tech. ^^;; He's still the same geeky studmuffin he's always been. The idea of him falling for Rev is just more plausible. biggrin

Hmm, now where did I put that Brick Launcher 10k Tech made for me... XP

Black Oracle · Black Hole Survivor

Geeky studmuffin! Ahhh.... *sighs dreamily.*

Akira_Cat · Your local cat

But you know. Most of the fan fictions that portrays gay relationships have Rev having a crush on Tech. But I suppose there are other oppitunities waiting to happen.

the_oddity · O HAI THAR

I saw an AcexTech one once...

Black Oracle · Black Hole Survivor

Tace?! *Faints.*

the_oddity · O HAI THAR

LAWLZ, TACE! -brick'd- I was laughing at the shipping name, I swear! -brick'd again-

Black Oracle · Black Hole Survivor

So now there's 'Techdavia' and 'Tace'!

the_oddity · O HAI THAR

And Texi and Duxi and Rexi and...erm...

Skifox · Frelengian

How about 'Tuck', or perhaps 'Dech'?

Don't forget about 'Acexi'!

Black Oracle · Black Hole Survivor

'Eh sexy'! Tee hee! I'm lovin' these shipper terms!

the_oddity · O HAI THAR

Tuck?...Dech?...
