What do you know, high school came in handy. (plea for help at the bottom!)
So, I've developed yet another fandom with yet another relationship that NO ONE will ever write about and that nobody even draws. This is pretty distressing, seeing as this is the case in ALL MY FANDOMS EVER AFKJLSDGJSFDIBGMCVNW$EOGTH@#QJWJSGKALGNSDIGN.
Ahem.
I promise this post has something to do with high school coming in handy.
The fandom, by the way, is Tales of Symphonia. Which was supposed to be, you know. A pretty large/active fandom. This was a total lie.
The relationship is, uh. Very spoilery. And, surprisingly (knowing me), not gay. I just like the general relationship between the two. Who, uh, happen to be Kratos and Lloyd. Now, Kratos is supposed to be the most popular character in the game, and Lloyd is not as annoying as some main RPG heroes can be (I liked him!).
But is there fic?
No.
Is there art?
NO.
There isn't even art.
Desperate for some nice fluffy art, I've been searching EVERYWHERE. Deviantart, y!Gallery, Elfwood, Sheezyart, Fanart Central, Japanese sites. Finally, during today's lunch break at work, I gave up and googled it -- and got some results! Most of them, however, seemed to be reposts of images from other sites on a French blog.
I waffled around a little bit, and then decided to pull out my dusty French, shake it out, and take it for a walk.
I managed to explain my situation and ask where the blogger got those pictures. And I think I even did so passably well.
Ha! I wish I'd been looking for gay porn. Then I could truthfully say that the first time I ever used French since I took it in high school was to ask for gay porn. Damn.
PS: If any of y'all on my flist happen to know where I can find quality ToS fanworks OF ANY KIND, please make with the spilling. Oh pretty, pretty please. I'll, uh! Draw you things! Gimme?
Ahem.

Kratos/Lloyd slash could be very interesting, but it's one of those things that has to be done just right for me to buy it. Maybe I'm glad the fandom died down; it sounded pretty stupid -_-
Regal/Presea's got a lot of possibilities. The pedophilia-crying crowd's ridiculous, though -- she's almost as old as he is, and, uh, almost two decades older than Genis. Fandom, this is why I don't venture out and interact with you more. I hear ya, though, on the scarcity thing -- my absolute One Piece OTP is Franky/Iceburg, and I usually can't pick just one pairing to like best. But when I got into OP fandom there was just NOTHING on them in English, not anywhere. I guess I ended up writing the first of that, too! There's definitely more out there now as people have caught up, thank god.
HAY NOW, that looks pretty awesome! I keep wanting to seriously get into Western comics, but I'm seriously intimidated by the sheer size and... confusingness of the canon. All the retconning and canon AUs and spinoff series and... I just don't know where to start! I like the bits you showed me, though -- sounds right up my alley XD.
