here_inmyheadI'm reading Cori's page of rants from the Wayback Machine, and I made an... interesting discovery, from her "Respect All Shippers, My Ass!" ramble. This is one of the ships she likes:
Tachishippy. (This is a term used to describe Ash, Misty, and Brock becoming friends with Jessie, James, and Meowth, and I'm all for it! As much as I complain about Ash, I really would love to see him and his friends get a clue and realize that TR aren't their enemies at all! Besides, good things always happen when they all set aside their differences and work together -- just look at great eps like "The Ghost of Maiden's Peak," "Holy Matrimony!," and "Pikachu Re-Volts!" and how they cooperate in Mewtwo Strikes Back and Revelation Lugia! This is also a reason why I love Toshihiro Ono's manga so much -- not only did Jessie and James get married and have a baby, but Ash, Misty, and Brock became friends with TR and Gary, and everybody got a happy ending!)
Really? Considering all the crap she already put Ash through, I feel a small metaphorical tear from the corner of my eye. *sniffle* OH CORI!ASH. OF ALL THAT COULD HAVE BEEN IF CORI ONLY SPARED YOU.
From ships she tolerates:
Gymshippy. (If any kind of twerp romance is possible, I personally think Brock and Misty would make a better couple than Ash and Misty. I've noticed that Misty's behavior tends to be influenced by whoever she's hanging out with at the moment -- whenever she's hanging with Brock, she's usually civil to TR and doesn't act obnoxious, but whenever she makes a rude remark or starts being unnecessarily mean to our heroes, she's almost always hanging with Ash and Tracey. I think she'd be better off with Brock than she would with Ash or Tracey because Brock is more mature than any of the other twerps, and he's a good influence on her. That and there's even a bit of Gymshippy evidence -- Misty always gets angry when Brock flirts with other girls. Could it be jealousy? hehe)
MISTY SHOULD BE PAIRED WITH BROCK SO SHE WON'T BE MEAN TO MY PRECIOUS TEAM ROCKET. The rest of the paragraph is fine and reasonable, but that one sentence... yeeeeeah.
A little note from Cori: This rant contains a bit of material that *kind of* bends one of my rules -- it criticizes another website and another webrunner. However, I posted this rant because I agree with Hot Lips 100%...not just on the topic she rants about, but about the site and webrunner she criticizes, too! The fanfic archive on the site in question is beyond disturbing, and whoever is running that site is a sick, sick person who can't be called a Team Rocket fan by any stretch of the imagination! >P I see nothing wrong with the opinions expressed in this rant because they're just the TRUTH plain and simple as far as I'm concerned! (And Hot Lips is MUCH nicer about it than I would've been!) If anybody has a problem with this rant or the opinions expressed herein, that's just too f***ing bad -- I'm leaving this rant posted, and Hot Lips and I are most certainly NOT making any apologies for it because the site and webrunner in question DESERVE to be criticized! >D So, now that you've been warned, enjoy the rant...or quit reading if you think you'll be offended!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW.
Shit. Knowing how violent Cori and her fans are regarding death, how sick would they think I was if I trolled them with my novel? "Hey Cori, wanna read a book? It's about Raggedy Ann & Andy.AND DOOM. DOOM EVERYWHERE. I think you'll like it! :D"

Date: 2011-08-09 12:01 am (UTC)I think she made that rant long before she figured out Ash is supposedly an irredeemable douchenozzle and decided Brock and Misty "went too far" in their support of Ash and "nastiness" to Team Rocket to every truly be friends with them. Cori's early Ash was kind of dumb, but had a lick of sense. It was only later that he became... well. The Cori Falls saga is less the story of Jessie and James' get-together and pursuit of a happy life and more the story of Ash's descent into madness and the development of an apparent mental illness. Quite sad.

Date: 2011-08-09 12:45 am (UTC)That would make sense. Considering what Ash would ultimately become, reading that felt like an AU or "What-Could-Have-Been", and that he would've had a much happier ending. ;;

Date: 2011-08-09 12:49 am (UTC)Now I have the image of one of her friends pulling off a "The Room" reaction. Amidst the DEATH and EXPERIMENTATION and RAPING YOUR CHILDHOOD and NIGHTMARE FUEL, one of them will say in a deadpan tone, "Raggedy Andy isn't gay! :o"

That bitch is crazy.
