Given that they are out there, somewhere in out there in the wide open spaces of the internet, why not share some of best RinRei/ReiRin fics you know of? ^^
'All Theory' is amazing, it's prob my top favorite RinRei fic.
'Logic and Beauty' and 'Butterfly Kiss' are up there too. All three of them are spot on with Rin and Rei's characterization as well as their dynamic, which is what I look for the most in fanfics.
I'm really, really excited about the release And see the boys be big dorkus o-o
But there's one thing I'd like to see on our side of the fandom after the release: peace.
Hahaha
But srsly. I'd probably be spazzing in my blog about my shippy thoughts on the CD and all, but I'll try my best not to do or say anything wankbaity (though I wonder how this is possible? any opinion can seem wankbait to any person). Meaning, I won't use the CD as leverage to point out that they are "canon", nor act hostile if non-Rinrei shippers question me for shipping them. I just- I just love these two so much. I don't want to be involved in ship wars because of it. In Rinrei-speak, I'll lap up all the shit if that means I can enjoy this happy, beautiful ship in peace.
Nah, our side of the fandom is chill, anon. Some hardcore reigisa and rinharu fans might give us a hard time, but we'll just laugh at their fangirl delusions like the majestic flapflaps we are. c:
The Pixiv stats made me think, but what about us? I'm also asking because most people seem to go with RinRei as a ship name, but I'm not quite sure if it truly reflects the individual's preference.
RinRei or ReiRin? Or somewhere in between? ..Switchy-switchy? Or do you just not care at all?
Let's discuss the songs while we're waiting for the drama translation! What's your favorite of the two and why?
BTW, There was a Rinrei anon on the Free! meme that I calmed down because they were so upset that there weren't translation of the CD yet (this was before makeupsyndrome posted the translated songs - thank you,dear!) And it made me think: dang, it's hard being a little ship sometimes. I kind of get where anon was coming from, but still, we really can't rely on many of the known translators for our translating needs because they don't ship Rinrei. That's a reality. Rin would say deal with it, and Rei would say make the best out of the situation.
So, songs: I love All Out because of this:
"I think you already know about my greatness right. You've got some nerve Just until recently you were something like a hopeless swimmer. That's impossible" Gdi Rin, you're supposed to be singing an empowering duet with Rei
and the snark
what duet these two basically bickered their way into the songs haha
I had a similar feeling today regarding there not being translations while stalking the tag. I ship the other couples that have had their duets already and boy, was there action in those tags at the time. I felt a little sad because I hadn't realized how different the count of shippers is. But you are right, of course, about it just being reality, and thinking about the best of it, I feel like we have really passionate and dedicated little community and I love that. Like we make up in love what we lack in number.
About the songs, I love Vision a lot, but Go all Out!! exceeded all my expectations when I read the translation. I mean, they are taunting each other while singing AND I JUST CAN'T TAKE IT, it's that dynamic what makes me want more and more of them! ADSFLKJDGSDSFKJGDFGJL
THE SONG IS JUST SO PERFECT! OMFG! I really love everything about those two dorks. I'm falling harder for this ship...I can't anymore. Oh, and I really love the shippers, they're totes perf.
My fav. part:
【Rin 】 Rei! You’re not bad! 【Rei 】 Rin-san, I will show you an even more beautiful me next time!
ARE WE NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT RIN'S VERY TINY CHUCKLE BEFORE HE ANSWERS REI'S "rivals or friends?" QUESTION?
Like, he scoffs at first, but then right before he answers, there's a teeny tiny chuckle! The teeny tiny chuckle is so important, guys! So important!Please tell me I'm not hearing things, at least.
