A different sort of knight

[nayami.livejournal.com]

I'm back with 6 icons but mostly just pleading for more C.C./Lelouch fics but probably not the kind you may be thinking.






About number 2, I just kept getting the "Alive" song stuck in my head after viewing that image in the manga. I dunno.

I'm especially pleased with the C.C./Lelouch one and only wish more people would latch onto the idea of C.C. as Lelouch's knight so there can be fics. It makes sense when you think that every Britannian princess ends up with a knight to defend them to the death. Cornelia and Guilford. Euphemia and Suzaku. Why not Lelouch and C.C.? The boy is totally a Britannian princess. Seriously though, since Lelouch seems, at times, loathe to personally dirty his hands with blood, C.C. is a good resource to have backing him. I know most people see this dynamic opposite because of the whole girl to guy standard but so far Geass has shown C.C. to be in a much better position to protect Lelouch than he her. Also, C.C. kicks ass and makes a much better knight than those other posers. I kid, I kid.

There's a need for more Lulu x C.C. icons indeed *_*

Cool icons ya got there ^_^

Lelouch x C.C. . . . have a prince/knight relationship?? I can't see it. With Euphemia/Suzaku and Cornelia/Guilford yes but Lelouch x C.C.? x_X . . .

For me, they're more of a King x Queen relationship xD Not that I'm being bias for I'm a huge Lulu x C.C. fan. Here's a few points:

Why not prince/knight relationship?
1) A knight basically serves and protects the prince while the prince does some important task, right? However, Lulu serves her as well, in the future he'll need to fulfill her wish.
2) A prince is in a higher position compare to the knight. But Lulu and C.C. consider themselves as PARTNERS. Therefore, equal. So, no.
3) I'm a sort of a feminist so I don't accept ideas of women serving men. It should be the other way around or both of them do.

Why king/queen relationship instead?
1) If we'll compare it to chess, the queen plays an important role in attack and defense while the king is very important in the game 'coz without him is game over. I think she does a very good job on that to Lulu xD And without Lulu, bye bye Black Knights ^^;
2) One of the official pics where Lulu holds a a black king chess piece while C.C. s holding a queen one explains it all xD

While I agree with your points, I gotta say the King/Queen dynamic is more romantically inclined than what I'm looking for.

Also, not looking at the prince/knight dynamic in the classic sense but the interpretive literary sense as I explain above. So not true subservience. And in many cases the knight actually holds more power (physically) than the prince since the prince is less of a fighter and one that represents some ideal and works to make that a reality. The balance of power can metaphysically shift (they can challenge each other if they feel the one isn't earning the position) but the fact remains that both realize they can't truly turn on each other. Lelouch and C.C. are hardly at this stage, still wary of each other, but unless C.C. turns out to be the Big Bad, I can see this happening. Or it can happen and then C.C. can betray for the ultimate ANGST. I'm cool with either really.

It boils down to a knight's "I'll fight for you because you represent something to me" and a prince's "I'll grant you my unconditional trust because I need you to win and you're the one I can always depend on."

I gotta say the King/Queen dynamic is more romantically inclined than what I'm looking for.<-- I tried my best to minimize my Lelouch x C.C. biasness xD

You've got a point as well. ^_^

Well, people have different points of view anywayz xD
