I was the opposite, I loved SEED Athrun even if he was pushed by the flow of things instead of finding a direction like Kira. I liked how that weakness came up again in Destiny when he was determined to find a reason for fighting, but I was saddened when nothing was rectified. In the end he was still pushed by the flow of things.
Joining ZAFT did nothing for his character, wait...except we were supposed to think how cool he was because he was surrounded by three ladies...oh please. Eventually he defects because he's forced to and he fights for the "right" side so easily and in such a holier-than-thou manner that I lost a lot of my love for his character. Cagalli, on the other hand, I sympathized with because she carried so much responsibility on her shoulders and was put in the worst positions. She made mistakes, yes, but no 18-year-old politician is perfect, well except if you're Lacus Clyne... But the point is that she grew from her mistakes, and this growth in character is what I personally didn't find in Athrun. I don't think Athrun was ruined for me, I still hold affection for his character, but he dissapointed me. |

Ships = nicknames for relationSHIPS. And shipping is a term used to support the couple of choice. So AthrunXCagalli = AsuCaga or Kaien X Rukia = KaiRuki or Kagome X Inuyahsa = InuKag So if you ship Asucaga, it means you support the couple and want them to be together. |

Seriously dude? You'd really didn't know these terms? ASUCAGA? KIRAKUS? ASUKIRA? Man, even people who don't watch SEED knows these terms! (Forgive me if I'm being so rude! I've just finished my first term for my degree and my brain is still filled with all things biology) |

What I just don't need is the terms. I flip on CNN and walk down the aisiles at Wegman's and all I hear/see is stuff about celebrity couples "TomKat," "Bennifer," etc. and then I come here and see it too. Why? Why do people do this to me? First term done? Welcome to hell. I just finished my 5th semester and I'm just happy not to be on Academic Warning this coming semester with the Honors College... I don't care about the celebrity couples. Unfortunately, CNN and everyone else does so I have to traverse the internet for real news. I care that they care enough to make up these cute little nicknames for couples and I'm stuck hoping that they show some real news, eventually.

Which, I have to qualify that statement.... Academic Warning for the HC is a 3.33 GPA, a very healthy B+ average. I had an A average this semester, sooo... LOL I'm very fatalistic about my grades and I shouldn't be.

I would doubt that after GS/D and making it rather obvious that Meyrin is the new "other half" to Athrun (why let character development get in the way?), they probably won't, in any future installments, go back to the old relationship. Of course, I thought that there wasn't anyway that in GS/D, despite hearing how bad it was, that I'd see what I did... Such as Athrun defect. Again.... And again.... Crazy suicidal boy... And other such glorious things that I saw in GS/D. So, I'm not going to hold my breath, but my instincts tell me that Ahturn and Cagalli aren't going to be together any time soon.
