Just for kicks - we're bored!

[bard_linn]

Just out of curiosity, we are asking BE readers on what they think the final pairings of BE will be. Pretend for a minute that you're writing Butterfly Effect and answer the following poll...

(You can check multiple people if you are a threesome/moresome person)


[Poll #1094657]

Got a pairing for someone not mentioned here? Feel free to throw it in the comments. :)

We're not going to take this into account or anything. We're just curious.

Arggghhh... I'm so wishy-washy in the pairings. Depends on the writer or the story.

Cloud should end up with either Seph or Vincent, but Seph/Cloud/Zack is hard to say no to.
And the reverse on those pairings as well.

Just so long as the characters are happy, I'm happy. ^________^

I haven't thought about it at all (for now I'm totally seeing BE as a genfic) and now that you ask... I have no idea at all! Well, a Cloud/Seph/Zack sounds really nice, but at the same time I don't want the girls to be left out... Aeris/Reeve sounds incredibly sweet (and yay for environmentalist love! :D)
The only possibility I can't imagine is Cloud/Vincent because I find mentor/student pairings kinda awkward. But their relationship had been evolving a lot lately, so who knows, I might change my mind ^^

Linn, your propositions make me rise my eyebrows :O

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

Ever think that might have been intentional? *laughs*

[wayya.livejournal.com]

BE would end in a very weird way if your final pairings were the actual ones XD Just imagine the plot twists you would need to make Aeris end with Sephiroth...

...Wait, I know you could do it.

*still thinks you shouldn't lead people on like that* :P

I vote for a Seph/Zack/Aeris/Cloud/Vincent fivesome! XD

Tifa with Reeve strikes me as interesting, though I also like her with Rufus, Rude or particularly Cid. Or Nanaki.

:)

[elanor-pam.livejournal.com]

I'm horrified at how unloved Tifa seems to be in this poll.

Since I couldn't bring myself to separate Cloud, Tifa, Aeris and Zack, I voted for them all to end with each other.

Also, since I really can't see Seph with anybody (not even Zack, sorry), I voted in Other. Same with Vincent. (I tried leaving them blank but it returned false :/ )

And people really do hate Tifa. Sticking her with Reeve? Seriously! ;____;

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

....BUT REEVE IS LOVE. *kicks you and snuggles Reeve* He's such a gentleman and awesomeness.

[elanor-pam.livejournal.com]

REEVE IS NOT THE PROBLEM.

The problem is that Reeve and Tifa haven't even MET in BE. Seriously, Reeve and Aeris would make more sense (not that I ship them)! It's the same as saying "I'd rather stick that bitch Tifa with the first idiot I don't care enough about than have her butt in my OTP/3/4!!!!!!" Which is sad for the both of them.

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

I can see where they might get it though. Aeris is a common link between them. :)

BE Tifa is the only Tifa I like the best - don't worry, we've got plans for her. >D

[elanor-pam.livejournal.com]

You better have.

I explained what I'd do over on insanejournal, but the reason I didn't just tick Tifa and Cloud for Sephiroth, Cloud and Sephiroth for Tifa and Sephiroth and Tifa for Cloud was that I had kind of specific dynamics in mind, where Tifa is secondary, but still valued by both men, and I wanted to mention that I'd have some involvement between the Zack/Aeris pair and the triangle.

[shini-tenshi.livejournal.com]

I don't know if the polls actually allow you to track a way that certain people voted, but in the end I was wishy-washy, and wanted everyone to end up together/with someone except for Tifa, who should be alone and stay in Nibelheim(sp?).

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

We can, actually. :) But thanks for the imput anyway!
