In a studio somewhere in the Unova Region, there was a small critic taking his coffee break. Don't worry. It's ice coffee. His next review was a story called "Fangirl" by Rio the Ice Queen.
"Hello and welcome to Glaceon the Critic where bad fanfics burn. Yes, that's suppose to be ironic, and Linkara may sue me if I wasn't a Pokemon. Let's begin," Glaceon said cheerfully.
Haha, don't be offended Amourshippers? :D
Beware of: boy's love, fangirls (not the good kind, sadly), fuming Serena, age-up characters, KalosQueen!Supportive!Serena, Champion!Satoshi.
"The author is warning us of a timeskip," Glaceon said, "That's not wrong, but I prefer the narration to do that. It's just a preference. But there's the first mistake, warning us of possible ship bashing. At least you have been warned."
"Well than Satoshi, we still have time, what do you want to do?"
The champion smiled at his boyfriend, loving the way the wind tousled his hair.
"Well, we have yet to buy a gift for Serena... her birthday is coming up isn't it?"
"I see the author prefers Diodeshipping," Glaceon said, "It's just shipping. Continue."
Just when the blonde was about to nod, they were interrupted by a pre-teen girl, clearly a fan of Serena (they knew because she had a print on her shirt of the time Serena won her first showcase).
"Sorry. It's just the English teacher in me. That's in passive voice," Glaceon said.
"Yatta! I knew it! You must be in love with Serena-sama, you were talking about buying her a gift!" the girl ... well, fangirled... jumping up and down as Citron stared at her, Satoshi scratching the back of his head sheepishly.
"Ehm... no? I said that we, as in my boyfriend here and I, would." he corrected her, watching as she stopped jumping and adopted a hateful expression towards the inventor.
"I wouldn't blame the fangirl for doing so. When my trainer found out Taiora was sunk, he had a similar reaction," Glaceon said, "But come on my trainer is a child. That's immature for a rabid shipper."
"W-what? Hell no! You are Serena-sama's boyfriend!" she declared, not noticing Citron's glasses fogging over in his rage, Satoshi's eyes narrowing at her immature behaviour (on the streets of Lumiose City, where everyone was now standing and gazing at them and probably wondering about what was going on) nor did she see her very idol walking up behind her. At least not until the back of her head was met with one of the shopping bags the Kalos Queen was holding, causing her to yelp and turn around, fangirl some more and claim how she would 'free Serena-sama's boyfriend from that dirty, old blonde' (note the fuming blonde beside Satoshi now) but she stopped talking when she noticed her idol's glare.
"My what now? For crying out loud! You call yourself my fan? If you really were, you'd know that I stopped crushing on Satoshi seven years ago. You know, that's what a crush or puppy love was! I'm the one who supported him and his relationship with Citron for the past seven years, why would I want them to break up!?"
"This is what I don't like," said Glaceon facepawing, "The characters age physically, but the author made Serena take a level of jerkass. I mean - is it really that hard to say 'No, I'm not interested in him anymore, and I'm supportive of my Friends's decision.' or 'Let me explain...' but she basically spits in the fangirl's face. Heck, demanding an apology would have been a good thing to do. If that's maturity, then I'm staying childish forever. Next!"
"B-but ... my ship..." the fangirl cried.
"You should learn to stop shipping people just because you think that feelings are set in stone." Serena's glare intensified. "I swear, if I hear that cliche shipping name you gave Satoshi-kun and I, I will set Mahoxy on you!"
"First off GRAMMAR," said Glaceon, "Second, maturity my tail. And does Kalos have a law against sicking Pokemon on other people? And aren't you being a little, and I use the term loosely, hypocritical? Diodeshipping, Pokeshipping, Advanceshipping etc. have nothing set in stone. Amourshipping is only canon from one side. Not exactly rock solid."
"B-but!"
"Or would you prefer Showers?"
The girl screamed and ran away than, clearly not wanting to get wet.
"Sorry about that." the light brunette looked at Satoshi and Citron. "They still seem to be going strong, even after all these years... now, I sure hope that you guys got that present!"
"Eh..." the duo began, sweatdropping as their hands interwined out of being nervous.
"Better be ready for tonight's party!" with a wink, Serena left, whistling as the bags danced around her and people made way, awwing at her beauty and grace.
"Well... that could have ended better.." Citron spoke and had to chuckle.
Serena threating girls with Showers was something that would never grow old.
"Putting aside all the spelling errors, I don't like this because Serena threatened to sick a Pokemon on a fangirls, and this isn't the first time apparently. And yes, it could have gone better," Glaceon said.
The Evidence:
- Yes, the fangirl was asking for it, but 'mature' Serena decides to sick a Pokemon on her. That's not mature. Apparently, this isn't the first time.
- You contradicted the moral of 'not all feelings are set in stone' in a fanfic about diodeshipping.
- Who the heck is Showers?
The Verdict:
- It's not horrible. It just rubs me the wrong way. Word to the wise, don't break your own moral.
Was the critic way too harsh or lenient? You decided in reviews. Don't forget to suggest fanfics.
