(Aw hey, don't be! The worst of it's over and done with; I can chew and sleep without pain again and hopefully by tommorow I'll be back to not feeling like I just came from a washing machine. *snort* I'd read that book!)
*straps ramble goggles on*
Well I've always been somewhat agaisnt the Sephiroth/Kuja pairing (unless it's non-con becuase at least then it's IC for both of them) in that they both hold extremely different ideals and come from opposite ends of the spectrum so to speak. As I mentioned in the previous post, Sephiroth starts out good and ends up bad whilst Kuja is the reverse. Then there's the lengths they will go to in regards to their goals:
Sephiroth is willing to serve his 'mother' and do what he believes is her bidding. (Whilst there is of course the argument over whether it's him controlling Jenova or vice-versa the point still stands that he is following her to some degree) Also he is perfectly willing to sacrifice pieces of himself such as his humanity or even parts of his psyche according to Lifestream Black to achieve his goals because he cares more about screwing with Cloud the end result than himself.
Kuja on the other hand is someone who was created to be a servant and vehemently despises anyone attempting to control his life - he believes that since it's his life he should take charge of it and no one else. He treasures his sentience and his soul above all else and would never dream of doing anything that would threaten them, even if it were to help him attain his goals. (However at the end of FFIX and 012 he has matured a bit so that he will sacrifice his needs and possibly himself for the greater good - but he still places high emphasis on being independent to the point of rejecting help from Zidane during Shade Impulse)
I could go on but the brain shaking has kind of made me forget how to make a good argument.
This is why we need Cid Highwind in Dissidia!
