Pretty sure people already have. It's the internet, after all.

The Force Awakens hasn't even been out that long and people are already giving Kylo Ren the leather pants treatment *shakes head*. I mean, I predicted it would happen, but it doesn't make it any better.

Yeah, I don't really know why either.

Aaaaand he's also being shipped with Rey. 'cause kidnapping and Mind Rape is so romantic. If they turn out to be related I will laugh my ass off.

Strangely, quite a few shippers actually acknowledge that there is a good chance of them at the very least being cousins, and that the ship is probably going to go the way of Luke/Leia. Just seems like they're pushing out as much stuff as possible before Episode VIII comes out to either confirm or joss it.

Still, bottom line: NO.

EDIT: You know what, I feel the same way about the majority of "Villain/Heroine" pairings in general. Like Jareth and Sarah from Labyrinth. I had this idea for a fanfic that hinged on them having a kid, but as much as I liked the concept of the story and the general mysteries involved, I just couldn't go through with it because I was so against the ship on a moral level (which is why I don't involve myself with the fandom).

Yes fans, Jareth may have been played by David Bowie, but it doesn't excuse the fact that at the end of the day he's a bastard that steals babies and is obsessed with a a girl who can't be older than sixteen.

Not surprised Kylo would get the Leather Pants treatment. I remember a site where it's dedicated to the Imp Officers that was in the Original Trilogy. Thing is they're all middle aged men, yet fangirls gush over them as if they were a boyband, especially Piett. Then again, I would imagine Piett would be a saint compared to Kylo Ren.

The bearing of unmasked Kylo actually reminds me of Sephiroth now that I think about it. Probably just his stature; then again, Sephy did go ballistic when he was enraged.

But I still wanted Kylo to pay a more debilitating price for his Moral Event Horizon than for him to get Only A Flesh Wound. Personally, I wanted him to become The Speechless as payment. Or, at least, to have to rely on cybernetics for speaking. How would the fangirls have treated that?

To be fair, at least the Jareth thing has a bit of basis in canon. I mean, it's still creepy as hell and one-sided, but at least it's not completely out of nowhere

Everybody's all "Jerry's old and feeble" till they see him run down a skyscraper and hijack a helicopter mid-flight.

Going back to Sephiroth, all of Sephiroth's appearances before the final battle are all clones made by JENOVA right?

Man if someone wrote a fanfic where a dumb fan-girl tries to hug an unstable clone, and it assimilates her The Thing style. I'd be cringing in fear and laughing my ass off...

You gotta start somewhere.

I'm pretty sure they are Jenova.

Other way round. All parts of JENOVA are controlled by Sephiroth, he's just making them look like himself. The "real" Sephiroth is in the Northern Crater where he's using the energy of the Lifestream to control living beings that have his and JENOVA's cells in them.

Trick to getting fangirls: Have long hair (preferably black) and be at least a bit emo and rebellious/edgy. Any drop of sympathy will multiply how many fangirls you have.

[up]That depiction is a insult against emos fine sir and or madam!

Well atleast the non-stereotypical ones that are just in it for the fashion rather then to be ''deep'' on life. I would know because I am pretty much a Perky Goth or a Cupcake Emo IRL.

A lot of people would burn me at the stake for this but... Daryl Dixon. Maybe that's because I'm tired of people desperate for him to finally fall in beautiful love when I think he's just fine, no, better without a love interest.

He's in the Tall Dark And Pointy category, like Sherlock, Loki, or Snape. Not as attractive, but the sheer expanse of the Star Wars fandom makes up for it.

I don't get why people mention Snape's lack of politeness and bad hygiene and bad looks. This thread is supposed to be about the Draco in Leather Pants, right?

The thing that is really wrong with Snape is the fact that he willingly sold James Potter to Voldemort, in the hopes that Lily would then be single, that he probably tortured lots of people while working for Voldemort, and that he was sexist and racist enough to call his best (and maybe only) friend Lily a racist slur when she defended him.

Christian Gray has already been mentioned ... that guy is one to run away from very, very fast.

[up]Christian Gray should of been put in jail and on the sex offender registry a long time ago or at very least gotten admitted to a mental asylum for his mental problems.

I mean the guy is practically an stalker, abusive, and a rapist considering he does not even ask for consent from his blank slate of a love interest.

Ugh I do not see why anyone would like that guy.....the fucker is even worse then Edward and even Jacob from Twilight which is rather disturbing as those two are both fucked up and disgusting love interests as well. All of these characters belong in a fucking horror film (never thought I would say that about sparkly vampire)....

It is horror series. But it's written from Soghoth Cultist POV, so of course there's a bit... bias.[lol]

This applies to both Twilight and Fifty Shades of Grey - the accurate portrayals of abusive men would be great if those works were meant to be horror. A shame they're sold as romance.

Pyramid Head is a rapist, a horror monster, and a technical figment of many peoples imagination. Enough said

On the topic of horror monsters. I never quite understood why people like Slenderman or Jeff, or any of those type of monsters really. Most of those guys are homicidal and insane....
