Apparently, Viletta became totaly moe, in total opposition of what her real character is. You know what else is cheesy? That tree scene, back in S1 and the worse thing is that i loved it back then. And when i saw Kallen doing the scary-stuff-choir-school-whatever to them, i was like "oh, that would be a nice family." Yeah, got over it when i watched Turn 19, all of those halcyon-memories, got erased. |DD; @Nogitsune:: Get off me dammit. |DD; |

During that silly episode when he was facing an angry shirley, he doesn't know what to reply. The first thing that comes to his mind was "if c.c. was here [...]". I don't see him using her as a tool. As I see it, maybe she loved him, but he had no romantic feelings for her (given what is said in the guidebook), anyway, you don't have to love someone romantically to keep that person in your heart, as a precious person. The two scenes in 23 and 24 did confirm that for me. Lelouch was helpless when they were in the bedroom. C.C. was here, and again he asked her something. If he was right to do what he was doing. C.C. took his hand. Lelouch did let doing it, and they stayed like that. You don't let a mere tool doing. Nor that c.c. would have done that if she knows she was a mere tool. At that very moment, C.C. was the one who shared his pain, just like what lelouch did, I thinkn when he shared c.c.'s loneliness (given what is said in C.C.'s poem). And during the scene in 24, he said that it's thanks to her that he started to move forward, because she stood by his side. They are other reference to him caring for her, like during the china arc when he said to her to flee if things turn bad. And she replied to him to make it not happen. Also, as Koshimizu (who was not a c.c. fan) said to me, he didn't have to be as blunt with her that he was with the other people, about his feelings (i don't talk about romantic feelings), because he knew that c.c. can interpret what he says. As Koshimizu said to me, if c.c. was not annoyed when he used sentences like "because you're an important battle unit", that's because she knew how to interpret it as "I care for you". I was happy that another person (one at least) thought the same things as me about their relationship. I don't make any comparison, but I don't think she was "just" a partner in crime that lelouch doesn't care about. As I was talking about that with koshimizu, he was not as blunt about what he feels about her (I don't mind romantic blabla /repeats²²²²) because they understood each others that way greatly. Quote:
But, it's not RL, as some other people told me about "other topics", so I don't make other comparison. For me, it's just great to see two persons who were enemies ending up together and happy. I don't mind what Villetta did to shirley, even if I am also a shirley fan. I already explained my point many times about why. About Ougi, I also alreday explained myself many times about him. No gonna do it again, since they are people who agree with me, and people who disagree. And no one will change its opinion. So, no reason to debate about that again on my side. Now, as I was talking about with a japanese guy a few days ago on msn, the ending is a symbolism about war, britannia, and japan. That the war ended, and that they represent a start of change about racism and such in Code Geass. So, it makes sense to me, as it made sense to some other people too. I think people like Cornelia, Kallen and others understood that, that's why they are on the photos. Lelouich wanted peace, a united world, so I think he can only be happy about that Symbolism of peace. Quote:
Also, we did get the infos about why she is so skilled at it. She did take care of her brothers. So I guess it was a time when she took the role of the sister, but also of a mother. That includes taking care of children (that's why I don't see her being a bad mom), and being skilled at housework. Quote:

Well, i would not say "i do not mind she did basically ruin another's chara life", but what can i say? War casualties i suppose. Anyway, i guess the "married-cheese-to-the-camera" was not just that. I will agree, that it was a metaphor to show two different worlds, coming together. Even if it was not my best cup of tea, well, pill of happy ending, will always be there. |DD; |

About the photo, well, lately I was very happy when I learned that there are japanese people who understood and liked that meaning of "peace" and start to an "end of racism" (I never really knew what some japanese are thinking about OxV till now). It can be fun to debate with people who don't share your opinion, but it's also pleasant to talk with people who share your opinion |

Koshimizu was on LJ back in the days btw, cool person. Anyway, yeah, partly the reason i enjoy C.C x L. It is not romantic-nature, {at least, technically, from Lelouch's side, C.C's feelings in the end, can be interpreted in many ways i suppose} not exactly friendship-material either, and yet, they have this unique bond, i can't help but enjoy it, most of the times. Quote:
Lol, that is a given. Obviously, not everyone will agree with another, but as long as there are no smartasses comments and rudeness-rockets, then in the end, everyone wins. |

Traditionally, a master is always above the one(s) he instructs. I'm afraid I can't do that. xD Quote:
Lelouch and C.C. had a relationship that was largely based on teasing and reading between the lines from the very beginning. When Lelouch told her he would become a warlock for her, he could have proposed to her instead and it wouldn't have seemed more meaningful to me - just romantic instead of platonic, and extremely OOC. xD Quote:
Didn't Cornelia even state that maybe there is no beauty in wars anymore during one of the last episodes? It seemed rather clear to me that she, too, had enough of bloodshed. Quote:
True, but I can't relate to Viletta's more tender side at all. It came so sudden, and was only focused on her love life. Quote:
Levy (*hugs*) is right when she says that Viletta isn't a main character, but still... They could have added a small scene! xD

I think the anime made it pretty clear that Lelouch cared about C.C a lot. And if not, the "equal" line kind of settled it. Like Levy said, for someone with as big an ego as Lelouch, that's no small thing to begin with. And the back-to-back scene, for me, illustrated just how close they had become at that point, along with the one from Turn 24. Apart from that, I pretty much agree with what Levy, Narona and Nogi said. Which is totally surprising.
About Viletta, I think her happy housewife personality is part of her real self, but she probably tried to keep that at bay whenever she was dealing with the military and nobles and it came back full-force when she lost her memories xD Or something like that. I like to think that the Viletta from the wedding picture would be a mix between cold kickass Viletta and submissive housewife Chigusa, though Viletta will probably take over most of the time. Hopefully. She'll be a good mom. I'm glad she and Ohgi eneded up together and happy, and I love the symbolism of everyone being at their wedding. <3 (well, except for...the obvious... ;_; ). |

Idk, honest, i could never see Viletta being Shuffle-girl and do all the house-cleaning. She will have Ougi for this probably. 8D And in the end, i do not honestly care that much as i "should", about this pairing. They got their happy ending without trying much, but in a wider extent, that helped to show a bigger-peace image. Happy-pill like i said. 8) |

Yeah, that was, but I have a good memory xD It is a fiction and for me, if i start nitpicking about stuffs, a large amount of things in this show isn't perfect. So I enjoy the symbolism, plus I love the charas. |

i think we are getting a bit of off-topic again lulz

But srsly, if minor things like this, would make it in the show, then the pace would get so crazy and wild. This is the reason exactly like, tidbits like the ones you mentioned, do exist in magazine and stuff. Giving you some small-clues, to make a more round opinion about your chara/s. Quote:

But if you start looking for reasons not to like something, then you will always find them. Same about, liking something. I guess, at some point, you should let it go to come natural to you. 8D p.s right, it was months ago then. 8DD |

I like Ougi/Villeta, but I was a little bit surprised when they started building them up in the first place. It seemed like Villeta and Jeremiah had something, at least IMO. lol, that CLAMP pic of her sitting on his desk was really what got me thinking about it, but thats just CLAMP for ya, I guess. But, once they started with Villeta getting to know Ougi, I liked them together. I don't really understand that they get so much hate, why?
It was nice to see someone in that show get a happy ending, and the wedding(or picture of it) was sweet. Now, I like Ougi/Villeta (lol, what do you call this pairing? Oulleta? XD) and Jeremiah/Sayoko. I've seen a little bit of Jeremiah/Sayoko, but I guess there isnt much to say about it is there? maybe the PD will tell us more...c'mon PD, we are waiting! Edit: Darn, I'm late to the conversation...;_;

I actually really didn't hate the Ougi/Viletta pairing. I mean, I don't ship it like crazy, but I think it's cute in it's own way. If there's anything I don't like about it, it's probably that it seemed forced, especially during R2 what with them (especially Viletta) having to get past their being mortal enemies, and really I don't think an fully adequate amount of time was spent to show that they had changed. And, if you want to look at it this way, I guess Ougi and Viletta's marriage was symbolic of the idea that the Britannians and Japanese could learn to live in peace, which I think is very satisfying. And yes, I do know there are those who say she doesn't deserve it what with her killing innocent elevens and manipulating Shirley (my girl) but somehow, even that doesn't bother me all that much. True, Viletta wasn't innocent, but then how many Britannians were?

Seriously, my main point was "how lelouch does address c.c.". It's not something he does with everyone. With the others, he has to be blunt, to shut up, etc etc. With her, he just says what he wants. With his sarcastic and indirect attitude of him. Quote:
I think that's not because Villetta could easily kick Ougi's ass that she will act like a tyran. I can see her wanting to do the cooking and housework, and imposing it. Well, it also sounds like a tyran xD Quote:

I kinda forgot that, when he was ready to leave Kallen and probably his promise to his best friend, and selfishly die in the hands of Viletta in #15 to be honest, but let's not go into this. |DD; Quote:

Well, as I said before, there just wasn't that much build up for their relationship. I mean, sure it was there, but the staff just sort of made it happen without the fans getting the nitty-gritty of it. Besides everyone was too preoccupied with LelouchxWhoever.

Exactly. The burning matter, it is always more interesting, when you do not know how it will end up. I mean for Ougi and Viletta, you could say that if they end up with someone, it is gonna be like this. For Lelouch however, you could not be sure. And fans craved for any possible moment with one of the girls in the episodes back then. Ah, Halcyon Days. Wank, trolls, srsly, fandom was alive and kicking. 8) |
