LOL! Duxi, Rexi, Texi, Acexi, Lace, Alex? I love all these pairing names!

i support ace/lexi

and duck/zadavia

Skifox · Frelengian

When did the number of options in this poll balloon so much? There's almost twice as many as there used to be.

Kenny McCormick · Anthros

[Oh, wow. So much for me supporting hetero pairings. You guys (and girls) have gotten me into yaoi. Weird.]

[But the most interesting pairing I would like to see would be Slam/Rev; they are not given a fair role, and I figured, "Why not?" The other pairings you guys (and girls) have shown are getting a little...annoying. No offense to the Ace/Lexi fans, but I have seen too much of that pairing in most fanfiction. For once, I would like to see the Loonatics who are never given a fair share of glory have some sort of relationship. Seeking solace in each other for being treated like minor characters, you know?]

[...Now that I think about it, I might have to write a story centered around this pairing. It will never leave me alone now...Thanks a lot...]

Crossfire · Frelengian

Well, unfortunately, I`m yet another Ace/Lexi fan. But, you might be glad to hear I have a little something planned for Duck. My fan season preview will state that clearly enough.

Super Freak · Beast

What?! Duck/Tweetums?!

Personally, (unless Ace/Lexi suddenly become an official couple in the finale) TPTB never should've made Lexi a female bunny. They should've created an original character of a differing anthro species from any of the male Loonatics--such as a cat (perhaps a descendant of Penelope) for example. That way, fan speculative romances would be a fair toss-up. Ace/Lexi seems the most obvious since they're both bunnies of the opposite sex and of the legacy of Bugs/Lola. IMHO, that's why there's so much Ace/Lexi in the fan created arts.

Exactly. A matching of the bunnies is only to be expected.

But 'Dweetums'! ROFL!

Ayelet_Ripley · Frelengian

That's why I like the Texi concept (though I consider Ace/Lexi canon even if it's not), it would never happen in the show.

As for my favorite coupling...I can't say i have one, but Tech/Mallory is intriguing. And with that I mean, I like and support the fact they had something going on in college, regardless if it's true or not. I take that small hint in Acmegeddon as a yes, and to me it's pretty final. However, I do NOT support the current Tech/Mastermid concept. Because Mastermind is GUH! Puppy deserves better.

Tweetums??? is true he is almost female... but I think is a little small (but a story about the love between a superhero and a prince... i love the idea!!!! and waht if Tweetums is in reality a girl, but change to a boy to have the right to be prince and king!!!)

Tweetums and Duck... i love the idea... but I'm more for Lexi/Duck (and if we see that Tweetums is only a kid... uh oh... I think we're doing something illegal)

What is Slash???

I'm completely Duxi...

About Tweetums/Duck... is a little crazy... after all Tweetums is kid... so is impossible. If only he is a she and no a he... something like:

She was walking in the castle, all people call her prince, if they really know who she is. For the peace she had to play the role of a prince... sh didn't remember the last time someone call her princess... there's only one person that know her real identity... and he never said a world, no matter how annoying was she with him...

She didn't understand this feeling, she now about politic... she know about what is bad and what is good... she know about how to be a hero... but this feeling... she can't stop it... is the first time she feel this... and doesn't understand it.

She miss him... his black feathers... his ego... he wasn't nice to her... but somehow she fell confortable in his presence. She want to call him... talk to him... but she know that he hate to be call for little things...

What is this feeling... why she feel like that? can someone explain to her? but who? nobody have to know that the prince is girl... only boys can rules Blanc...

I know nothing to do with Loonatics real story... more because Blac was ruled by Grannicus (a woman) and Tweetums is a boy...

I like that story idea you have Tyranee.

Tweetums does seem to have an obsession for Mr. Duck.

To paraphrase Tweetums from the Heir Up There where Danger is scrubbing him in the tub: Lower Mr. Duck ... lower.
Ha! Doesn't that sound a tad dodgy?
So far, Danger doesn't seem interested but I wouldn't be surprised if the finale ends with Danger and Tweetums sharing a bath together.

A tad dodgy? I know my mind is pretty deep in the gutter, but that always seemed pretty blatant to me.
If they bathe together at some point, I might just cry.

kaejae · LUO's Next Top Poser

better hope Tweetums doesn't fart in the tub again! It'd be a total turn off XD

Black Oracle · Black Hole Survivor

I suddenly have a whole new disturbing perspective on Duck and Tweetums relationship now...

Skifox · Frelengian

At least Duck has never willingly reciprocated...
bleh

Black Oracle · Black Hole Survivor

But he gave Tweetums a bath! He! He!

*lol* I was trying to be polite.

If that's dodgy ... what about the scene, where Tweetums sticks out his naked bottom and then he wags his tail at Danger. Hmm, also from a preview clip of the finale, it looks like Tweetums will be riding on Danger's backside.

kaejae wrote:

What about Danger? If he farts, he'll blow Tweetums right out of the water!

Black Oracle · Black Hole Survivor

Blow Tweetums right out of the water! LOL!

Anna · Anthros

IMHO, Duck/Tweetums sounds profoundly creepy to me. For God's sake, Tweetums can't be anymore than a really young kid! And a tiny one at that! That's honestly kind of sick.

I always thought that Duck and Tweetums have a parent/child relationship. (even if a somewhat distant one.) Thinjk about it. Duck was an orphan. When Tweetums came into the picture, Duck was suddenly thrust into the role as a parental figure, which I bet he was really uncomfterable with for a variety of reasons. (the absence of his biological parents as a child, perhaps lack of experience with young children.) Tweetums being a bit of a spoiled brat didn't help much either.

This is really a good idea...

You know, for a bird like Tweetums, 3 years is already an adult...

But you're right... he is a kid and better no... (like I said before... if only he were a female and older)

Mah gawd. I just woke up my sister by laughing...

Black Oracle · Black Hole Survivor

Y'know, i wouldn't be surprised if the creators had initially intended on Tweety's descendent to be a female character for LU. If Tweetums had been a princess instead of a prince, it would have worked quite well too. Duck would have played the role of 'Princess' Tweetums protector, and i think it's more common to see female royalty knighting someone. So Duck could have been like a defending knight for 'Princess' Tweetums!

Super Freak · Beast

That's a great theory, Black Oracle.

Don't worry, Anna--I'm being tongue-in-cheek about Duck/Tweetums.

Nevertheless, there is a kind of creepiness with their relationship. When it was just The Heir Up There, it wasn't so bad. But to revisit Tweetums fixation with Danger scrubbing him. *shudder* I wished that issue was dropped after Heir. However, as I said, the "joke" will probably be run into the ground with Danger scrubbing Tweetums in the finale.

Lumosnight · Loonatic

I can just imagine.... the finale..... the last episode (I hope not!) and instead of ending with a bang, we see Duck batheing Tweetums again!

Tweetums: Lower...lower....

Duck: Just end this show and put me out of my misery!

I have no idea if the finale ends that way but I could totally envision such an ending.

ShagsterP · Anthros

*diligently plants his Tech/Rev flag* Mwah! Forever and ever!

Anyway, yea. Tech and Rev come most importantly on my list. Other than that, I'm actually not too fond of Ace/Lexi. It's just too blatantly stereotypical for me. I like paired characters to have spice in their relationship; you know, some flavor: ups and downs, cute interactions, slight bickering; that all builds character to me because they're being normal instead of predictable. So if I had to choose a second favorite pairing, it'd probably be Duck/Lexi. They've got this sort of off and on thing that's entertaining.

Lumosnight · Loonatic

Alright! Another Duxi supporter! Our group is slowly growing larger.....

Super Freak · Beast

I gotta agree with you, ShagsterP!

I guess I can be referred to as a friendship 'shipper' because my favorite pairs are Duck/Lexi and Tech/Rev.

Reflecting upon the series, one thing that I can definitely say the show did 100% right was to have a clear friendship develop between Tech and Rev. Sure, they squabble but it's easy to see that there's a loving bond between them. There's no question that they're best friends.

I always adored Duck and Lexi's friendship but the problem I had with deriving pure enjoyment from their relationship was the dark cloud of a possible Ace/Lexi romance. In the back of my mind, I was always apprehensive that any episode now, Duck and Lexi's friendship would be annihilated so that Ace and Lexi could start a romance. I figured the writing staff would use Duck's tendency to behave like an @$$ to bust up the friendship. Since that scenario hasn't happened, [for now] I can relax and look back and realize that Duck and Lexi had a good thing going. It's a shame that the writers never reaped the full potential of Duck/Lexi but at least they didn't raze it either. As of now, it's bliss to be able to unapologetically enjoy Duck and Lexi's relationship without the fear of the boogeyman of romantic hetero specism.

As for Ace/Lexi romance, the writers woefully neglected those supposed seeds that they might have planted. Other than Lexi occasionally standing next to Ace and her season finale moments of 'OMG, is Ace dead?!'; there hasn't been any noticeable/memorable moments between them (especially in season two). That's not usually the foundation for a romance in a series. Now, it really bugs me, if the writers had ever planned on Ace and Lexi being in a romantic relationship. I feel bamboozled by pure assumption that since they're two [hetero] rabbits of the opposite sex that it's a given that the writers were going for a romance. I guess Lexi was a bunny simply because of the legacy of Lola. Now, I wonder if the speculation of Ace and Lexi being both descendants of the Bugs/Lola bloodline was what TPTB had in mind. Aw, whatever ... it doesn't really matter at this point.

Lexi and Duck certainly have some kind of relationship. I see it as brother-sister, complete with all the squabbling, but that`s just me. Dont get me wrong, I`m not....er, specist?...I just have my preferances.

I guess WB just wants to drive us all crazy. They went and gave us the wink, the jealousy (on Lexi`s part), the hug, her seeming preference for Ace (in at least two episodes)...and then they do nothing. Oh well, looks like it`s up to me to take this relationship somewhere (not that Black Oracle and the other Lecers who`ve been writing Ace/Lexi fiction haven`t already been doing a good job).

zadavias_spirit · Out of This World

Funny, I'v found I've become more Duxi than AcexLexi. *dodges things thrown at me*

Super Freak · Beast

Well, I've said before and I'll say it again--LU is a "friendship" action/adventure show. The writing staff had 26 episodes to create a romance and they didn't do it. IMHO, it's pointless to debate over which pairing was meant to be since the show's canon doesn't support any romantic pairing. Technically, all the relationships between the Loonatics can be construed to be sibling relationships. Anything dealing with romance between the characters boils down to individual preference among us fans.

Kenny McCormick · Anthros

[I never liked AcexLexi either. It seems rather stereotypical to me; main hero gets the main heroine while the others are left behind. I prefer Duxi instead.]

[My favourite pairing for season one was RevxSlam; they did not get much screentime during that season, so I guess the pairing stuck for me. I always pictured them seeking solace in eachother whenever they were left behind. I have never seen sketches of them together either, so I might try to draw them on the same page.]

[But the second season changed everything; this time Tech and Rev were left behind, so I guess my new pairing label is TechxRev.]

[Not showing them doing anything while the other Loonatics are in the spotlight makes certain fans think differently. As I stated before, leaving both of them alone makes people wonder what those two Loonatics are up to. Hehehe...]

Too true, too true. At least we're not as bad as the Sonic fandom. This one guy who helps make this one web comic posted a rant on craziness over pairings on his forums. All I know is if I want a guranteed, fer sure pairing, I'd read a romance novel. Preferably, one of Sandra Hill's awesome sexy viking novels.

Thanks for the link, Anna.

G30FF speaks the truth, not only for the Sonic fandom but for a lot of online fandoms.

IMHO, shipping can be quite fun. In my personal experience, the best fandom was Yu-Gi-Oh! They were very tolerant of any and all shipping ... a true gem.

I feel shipping only becomes a nightmare when fanatics take over; especially of the anti variety. Teen Titans was kind of bad but the worst was Kim Possible--when posters start threatening to kill each other ... that's going way too far!

Personally, I hop on the next train out of Dodge when I see a fandom get overrun with haters. It's just not worth the trouble. I'm a lover not a fighter.

D'ah, the Sonic fandom is terrible, which is why I took a break. Can't say I left but I'm definitely not as active as I was. I mean, when you start receiving death threats and menacing e-mails just because you draw a certain pairing, all of the enthusiasm about being part of that community, fades.

I am annoyed by the Sora/Riku pairing in the Kingdom Hearts series, but you'll never hear me complain about it (other than my own private journal now and then) and I will definitely not think any less of a person that likes it.

This is why i like being here. Everyone's welcoming and open minded about most things.

I really don't understand all of the hatred. =(

Gah! That's so horrible! Somebody puts in so much hard work and energy to make something beautiful for others to enjoy only to be scorned and discouraged by fanatical hatred.

Why can't some people simply let others think differently from them? It's terrible that some feel the need to stamp out any ships that they don't agree with.

Same here. I've been to lots of forums and I was surprised how many places would turn into wars about a certain pairing. Especially if they have nothing to do with the topic. It's just so stupid. People can have their own opinons!

We can`t say the same for all LUO fans, however. I`ll bet you somewhere out there there`s a forum practicslly dedicate to flame-outs over who`s with whom and couples that shouldn`t/can`t happen. We just happen to be thirty to forty-odd fans that have the common sense to get along despite our differences (though some of us haven`t shown up for a while; I miss Doma). We`re a lot like a larger team of Loonatics; we have our differences and disagreements, but in the end we`re still a team.
