meh... I'm guessing all you guys know already! Canon: XR/42 (This can be really sweet and cute only if written correctly!) XR/ Mira (had 42 not shown up, I'd be so all over this! lol... ) Booster/Mira (it'd be so cute if Mira was Booster's first crush! It would also be very believable and even could develop into love! Booster deserves love! ) Booster's parents (lol, well, I like already established couples! and married couples are cute especially when they embarrass their kid in front of his peers without really intending to! :3 ) OC's: I generally don't like OC's but I really like Kila's CaR very much... Again, if 42 hadn't shown up, I'd so make this my top fav! You go Kila! Also, Space's Jamie/XR one is really interesting and I found to my surprise that I also like it! man, for a neurotic little robot, XR sure has a lotta love out to get him! That's probably about it... as for pairings I don't like... Hates: just about any slash couple... just no.... any couple that has Buzz in it (It's not that I hate the pairings, but i just dislike the guy. lol, poor Buzz... ) yay! (about the XR/desk one, i think of the desk as more animal than actual "person" ...it certainly acts like one... Kinda like a puppy dog trained to keep an eye out for the commander! so I'm not entirely sure about that pairing... )

Canon: XR/42 (This can be really sweet and cute only if written correctly!) Hmm. And here's why it CAN'T. ~Reasons Why 42 Is Completely Wrong For XR~ -She's only nice to him when she wants something. -When she doesn't, she's a total witch. And it's mostly NOT justifiable. -SHE. BROKE. UP. WITH. HIM. That may not necessarily be a bad thing- but if it's NOT, that's all the more reason for them NOT to get back together! -Like I said before, she IS NOT HIS TYPE. XR can very easily be rubbed the wrong way, and she's the type that would do this. XR needs someone understanding to some degree, like Mira, 42 is NOT understanding at ALL. ~Reasons Why XR Is Completely Wrong For 42~ -He won't get out of her face, for one thing. He's completely obsessing over her. -THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW EACH OTHER and he's doing this. -He went completely emo when they broke up, meaning he'll probably be hateful and nasty to her in the future, NOT getting back together with her. -He obviously doesn't know how to handle her, he makes her mad a LOT. -HE'S ALSO BEING COMPLETELY OUT OF CHARACTER AROUND HER, howeveer I seem to be the only one to care about this one. And there's more, but this should be MORE than enough.

HAHAHAH!! Some of these are seriously great... WHAT I LIKE: XR/Mira - Will never happen, but I love imagining XR wooing Mira, lol. Buzz/Ozma - At first I only paired Buzz with Mira, but after I saw Ozma I knew they were perfect. FOR FUN: NOS/Mira - I need to watch some vampire/female love. Fop Doppler/Mira - Come ooon, the guy is AWESOME! Honestly, it's just for humourous reasons.. I'd love to see how many times Mira would get ticked off at him. Not a fan of XR/42. I only like it when XR chases after women... amuses me to no end.

yes, that is a lotta evidence... But you have to admit, that was only, I repeat, only their first meeting. People usually aren't completely themselves at first meetings, there's stll surprises and parts of them that they never show us, at least not at the first time meeting them... You can't just assume that just because they act witchy on their first meeting that they themselves are witchy... We're talking about a character who's personality isn't even solidified yet. We don't know if she really is witchy, if she's just angsty, selfish, or whatever. Who knows if it's all an act? (that is probably an extreme theory, but you get what I mean ) it's like saying that XR's a stupid useless robot at your first meeting, which he pulls off quite easily, but is he? no. you spend a long time with him, and you realize he's got many sides to him, all layered and feeling quite the opposite of what he says. and when they broke up, of course XR's gonna be emo. XR's very emotional, and friendly break up or no, a break up is a break up, and he'd been roughly pulled from his fantasy into rough reality by the girl of his dreams no less. Of course he's going to hurt, and of course he's going to be bitter about it, but that doesn't mean that he will completely avoid her, and book her as a hopeless case. His quick recovery at the end of the episode could mean that he obviously doesn't care anymore, or maybe he's finished moping about it, knowing that moping doesn't do any good, but he hasn't given up. he's stubborn when he wants to be, and i'm pretty sure that with all that he had with 42, first girl that he actually spent some time with, deserves at least another shot. He may or may not have a happy ending, depending on the writer. and when I talk about potential XR/42, I mean after all the hype over the episode is done, and everyone's acting like themselves... they can build an actual relationship this way. So in the end, there's still a possibility, and I choose to explore that possibilty, that what if, and see if XR's gonna have a happy ending after all... I like expiramenting what ifs, because life wouldn't be fun if everything was in black and white. So really, you can't say that 42's completely wrong for XR or vise versa. You could say that you don't like XR/42, but you really can't say that it's wrong completely. wow, that was a mouthful... but fun!

...actually, it does... because that's generally what XR does. He's a once-bitten-fourtimesshy kinda guy...
Yes, I can. Because this is a cartoon, and the creators of it themselves ruined the couple with bad writing.
You see, once a character has gone OOC, THE COUPLE HAS FAILED! THE COUPLE IS WRONG if a character goes OOC. SORRY. But I know many intelligent people who agree with me on this.
And one episode IS enough for me to tell XR and 42 won't hit it off again. You don't seem to understand that even though 42 wasn't fully developed, XR WAS! And I do know what is and is not in character for him. 42 is out of character for him. See above.

so you're pretty much going to be black and white about this?

...okay, look, I can accept character development. Character development is NOT the same as OOC-ness, which NO ONE should accept or do... because everyone hates that. o-o No. NO ONE is allowed to be OOC. That's not 'black and white', it's outside of the laws of the cartoon!

Um, if you're a fan and actually think about the characters that you appreciate, you're going to find that the question you just asked is way out there.
Character shouldn't act differently then how they would ever act. That's why they're characters. It's not about being black and white, it's about being realistic. If Buzz became angry and shot Booster for annoying him, or if Mira came flouncing out onto the ship in a pink dress, SOMEONE in their right mind would go, "What are you DOING? Do you watch this show?"
People CAN write bad things. There's such thing as a badly written episode.

I agree with that. perhaps I misread? because I agree above all that that episode could definitely been written better... and I do to appreciate the characters and I'm sorry if I seem a bit rude. I do hope that I haven't offended anyone, but I do hope that I can keep my opinion without being forced to change my mind. I'm fully aware of the "laws of cartoons" ... thank you at least, and I hope that I can hope to do better to agree with you...

What I'M trying to say is, the characters DO NOT WORK TOGETHER BECAUSE THEY HAVE INCOMPATIBLE PERSONALITIES. If you can find ANY way to have XR and 42 like each other in a way that I think is IC for BOTH of them you've won, period, I won't say anything anymore.
I just don't think you can do it because I don't think ANYONE can do it. Because they DO NOT WORK TOGETHER.

but isn't that what crack is for? lol ;p but in all honesty, I'm going to try to approach this as seriously as I can, all the while being IC... it's quite a challenge, but I think I'll have a lot of fun anyways whether I make it or not!
