tenipuri randomness
I just noticed this: in Karupin's Adventure, the most adorable Blushy!Kaidoh walks past Lounging!Inui and TwoYearsTennisExperience!Horio. Inui greets Kaidoh and when Kaidoh greets him in return, he ducks his head in a little bow. So. Damn. Cute. I also saw him once bow before entering the tennis court. I don't recall seeing that from anyone else.
I have this secret theory that Horio is Kaidoh's fanboy. (Not, I should add, in a slashy sense.) I think I'm basing this on Horio describing Kaidoh's play (possibly just after he played Inui in the first ranking matches) as "ideal tennis". Maybe I just want Horio to annoy Kaidoh a lot. *g*
I've been thinking about my InuKai vs my TezuRyo, how even though they are equal in my affections, I have written lots of InuKai but only one TezuRyo. And when I think about writing more TezuRyo, it's as a continuation of the first piece. I have a lot of different instantiations of InuKai. I'm not sure how many of my stories you could group together and say they are in the same continuity. But even though in some Kaidoh may be the aggressor and in some Inui is a tease and in some Inui is so in love he might die of it and in some Kaidoh has never once thought about Inui that way, they are all still, I think, in character. I have a lot of Inuis and Kaidohs but only one Tezuka and Ryoma.
The TezuRyo is drawn from the canon far more than the InuKai, even though there is more direct canon evidence for InuKai. But to me, the whole show is about the Tezuka-Ryoma relationship. So I what I write has to fit in with that, whereas the InuKai just has to be lightly coupled on. It makes the TezuRyo difficult.
And then there's the MomoKai which I must admit I'm pretty hot for right now. I've even been dreaming about them. But I can ship both InuKai and MomoKai at the same time (like simultaneous tea and no-tea) without making my brain explode. I just think about them in different continuities. I must say, it makes watching the show a lot more enjoyable since Kaidoh's always with one or the other of them.
I also wonder why I'm so gone on this show, fic-wise, when the scope is so narrow. Unless I want to do future- or past-fic, it all has to fit into a timeframe of several months. Months, that's all. And not much can really happen in that time, unless I want to go seriously alternate history. (To me, alternate history is when you change the events in canon, while alternate universe is where they are all pirates. Which could be fun.) But gone I am. It's not the only fandom I write in, but it's certainly the main one. I guess I just like the characters.
The other day, I saw a story on ff.n with a side pairing of InuKikuKai. What the hell? But I would like to see more badfic written about Atobe/Momo. It's a good pairing. On the other hand, I would like to see much less of Yamato-buchou/anyone. He's sooooo creepy. He's creepier than Donnie Pfaster. Seriously.
In conclusion, writing is hard.

And I think the thing about TeniPuri fic having to fit into a timeline of a few months is true but really, we mostly see training and stuff in those months. You can add stuff that happens during the small portion of their day that these boys don't spend training and, unless you want to have a massive plotline (and most TeniPuri ficcers don't), it usually works. Plus there's nothing wrong with alternate history!
And I've seen InuKiku and KikuKai (besides the obvious InuKai) before, so I guess InuKikuKai isn't much of a stretch... Also fandom is off its collective rocker.

I suppose I'm comparing tenipuri to HP scope-wise. It's such a small universe. But I don't mind that. Maybe I prefer it because the boundaries seem safer. Hmm. But I miss getting to make up magic stuff. *g* (Not that I'm done with writing HP, just that it's not got my attention right now.)
no subject
Well...any universe can seem small or large depending on how you look at it. TeniPuri is sort of in the real world (albeit a version of the real world where the basic laws of physics don't apply) so there really are an awful lot of possibilities...they just may or may not be interesting. (But making up magic even when it's not present in canon is a prerogative of fangirls!)

I'm dreaming of an Alternate History with Arai-buchou and Horio-fukobucho. *g*
There certainly is a lot of magic in tenipuri already! I mean, look at Tezuka Zone. That's not natural. When Nanjiroh does it, I can believe that it's his skill, but when Tezuka does it, it seems like some sort of ninjutsu.

*coughs* Okay, now I know I'm not the only one...who finds Eiji...less than enchanting, shall we say?

*snickers* I'm such a bitch I also get a kick out of Tezuka being caught in the spider-crossfire as it were....
Poor Oishi. Doomed to love an over-exuberant 15 year old.

You're not the only one. :)

And that would be hysterically funny and end very soon as the Seigaku team loses terribly in the first match of the season and spends the next several months getting chewed out by Ryuuzaki-sensei.
Ahahaha. So true! At least Nanjirou's version does not involve the random appearance of glowing lights and water and many sparkly things...Tezuka really sounds like a magical girl if you think about it too hard doesn't he?
no subject
Maybe Tezuka really got sucked into another world instead of going to Germany. Although my theory was that he actually went to Paris to become an international male fashion model.

Ahaha. Best theories ever! And they make utterly crazy amounts of sense.
