Ficlits
I ended up with a multi-part ficlit plunnie from my fourth AMV. I have the first part up, and the second one's probably done, but I think I'll wait for Monday to post it. Then I have to decide whether it will keep its proposed length of three parts or if it will gain more.
I've done a fifth AMV, this one to Gomenasai. Originally I had determined that if I did the Relient K song AMV, I wouldn't do Gomenasai. But the idea kept bugging me, and then I realized that the plots would be different, so I decided to go for it. I'm glad I did; the end result is squeeable. It even includes a resolution part at the end.
I've occasionally dabbled in Autor/Ahiru, but I far prefer them as friends. It's also somehow so squeeable to have a boy and a girl who are close friends but never have any romantic interest in each other. Somehow that adds another dimension to their relationship. I think that to have them romantically involved in my timeline would cheapen their interaction. XD; Like, "Oh, there's a boy and a girl, so obviously there's going to be romance somewhere down the line." In my timeline it's more like, "There's a boy and a girl who love each other very much, but it's not romantic love and it never will be."
And why is their interaction so addictive, when there isn't much of it to speak of in canon and what there is, is mostly negative interaction? I can't stop writing/drawing/AMVing/squeeing over the positive possibilities. But it's true that the seeds are there in canon, so it's not like I'm cobbling something together that has absolutely no basis. (I think almost everything I work with has some canon basis, except perhaps Marik and Mokuba, but that's a whole other subject.) And knowing Autor and Ahiru's respective personalities, I definitely don't think it's impossible for them to really come to care about each other. (It's already semi-canon, anyway, since in the follow-up Autor seems quite friendly. The follow-up is not canon to me as far as the events are concerned, but as far as what's revealed about the characters' personalities, I have embraced those things into my canon.)
On the other hand, I wonder about it mainly for two reasons, surprisingly both on Ahiru's side of things. 1, When Autor was blasted by electricity, she didn't even turn to look at him (that was shown, anyway). But even though she was mad at him, I can't believe she wouldn't care if he was hurt. That just goes against everything about her sweet personality. Yet since she didn't turn to look, and since Ahiru shows only annoyance towards him in the follow-up (2), it makes me wonder if the creator was really trying to say something. Tutu isn't a series where things are randomly done, after all.
Still, I fully agree with this approximate statement that was made by a fan. Autor has never actively interfered with what Ahiru was trying to do, as both Fakir and Rue did. She strongly disliked Fakir, but came to love him so much, and she always liked Rue, even after discovering she was Kraehe, so why couldn't she come to care about Autor? Is what Autor has done so horrible that she can't ever come to like him? I don't buy that. If she saw his softer, kinder side, I think she would start to change her mind about him, just as she did about Fakir.
**flees, going back to squeeing.**

Yeah, I'm not sure I quite understand how all this relationship stuff works-- I do love romantic pairings, but I definitely feel it's true that a boy and a girl being close friends without being a romantic couple feels deeper somehow. It might be like that saying "Dating is acting different around someone else until you trust them enough to show them who you really are." As in, Autor and Ahiru don't feel uncomfortable being who they really are around each other, and can talk about any romantic feelings they have for others with each other because they're not in love.
Or I guess one of us needs to go fall in love, and then explain it to the rest of us. LOL.
Addiction despite lack of interaction thing = SO TRUE. Lawd, when your favorite character is always the antagonist... But especially with the post-series thing, I do believe Autor and Ahiru could become friends.
I think maybe Ahiru not turning to look was not only her being mostly concerned about Fakir, but maybe some small subconscious expression of how she can be slightly childish sometimes-- most of what she's seen of Autor at that point is snobby and uncaring, which might not have helped his case. Maybe SHE misread HIM at first...? ...But I can't see that going on long XD; She changes her mind about everyone eventually, with perhaps the possible exception of our good friend Drossy.

**nodnod.** That sounds logical! And it's a good explanation of why it's good for two people to be friends before falling in love, too. LOL.
But I still want Autor and Ahiru to always stay friends without the romance.LOL.
**nods.** Autor definitely did act friendly/amiable, even though he was also showing off his knowledge of the blossoms.
That's possible! I do think they each misread the other at first. Ahiru really doesn't act like she likes him in the post-series follow-up thing, though.
