Never Even Crossed My Mind

In other news, I was cruisin’ the intersocks today and discovered that KEL/JOREN SHIPPING EXISTS OH GOD WHY.

I suppose I should have known. To be honest, though, even after years listening to teenage girls sigh over Draco Malfoy, Edward Cullen, Raistlin Majere,* etc., it never would have occurred to me. Possibly this is because I require a nano-scintilla of subtext for a hero/douchebag pairing, and there is none here. As far as I can tell, Joren’s main qualification for fancrushery is that he looks like a manga prettyboy. THIS IS NOT ENOUGH.

Fortunately, then I found some great art of Numair, Daine, Kel, and even Kylaia al Jmaa**, as well as the funniest Lioness Rampant cover ever,*** and everything was okay again.


*Yes, unlike the other two there I love Raistlin as a character, but he is not exactly a Romantical Lead.

**Speaking of fancrushes.

***"She's conquered evil--but can she conquer her deepest desires?" OH MAN PRICELESS.

It took me a second to figure out who you were talking about, and then I was just "OMG, ewww!" What is wrong with people? I've read some "bad guy reformed for the love of heroine" fics, and not all of them were terrible, but Joren DIED rather than admit there was anything wrong with anything he said or did. And even if you do an AU where he did reform, Kel isn't the type to forgive him. No. Just... no. Ugh. *shivers* Now I have to try to think of something pleasant so I can sleep.
