View Full Version : Why do people pair Auron with Rikku?

Is it just me, or is it that in most FFX fanfics and other general areas of the fandom, people like to put Rikku and Auron together?

Is it because they actually think the two make a good couple, or just because Rikku and Auron get left out when Yuna gets paired with Tidus and Wakka gets paired with Lulu? :confused:

...What do you think about them?

There is stuff in the game if you want to see it; Rikku is there when Auron gets his celestial, for example. Also, in X-2, Rikku is wearing a lot of Auron's armor and swords, just like Yuna has a lot of stuff that used to be worn by Tidus. I also think people just like to have a pair for Rikku, just because she is so popular and people don't like to think of her as being alone.

Auron and Lulu was always my hope, but meh...

I think Rikku and Auron could be the classic romantic couple: older mysterious if rather gruff man attracts lively, optimistic younger woman. I don't know about everybody putting them together though. Eg in fan fiction sites, Rikku/Auron pairings seem rare, and you get lots of comments about it being pervy.

I didn't notice about the armour in X2, that's really interesting! Of course they don't immediately hit it off. When Rikku says, "You don't get me at all, do you?" (in the Thunder Plains Agency) she's talking mostly to Auron, after his comment, "She's worse than the storm!" But that happens a lot in romantic novels.

Tidus and Wakka are both taken, and pairing her with a corpse is slightly less disgusting than pairing her with Kimahri.

I don't like Auron/Rikku. For one thing, Rikku is a minor and Auron is 35( I think) and dead. Even in fiction, pedophilia is gross. I'm more of a Rikku/Gippal guy.

I just thought that Rikku and Auron is sorta like Yuffie and Vincent, and tht got a huge following. but Yuffie and Vincent does seem less pervy than Rikku and Auron. i think its an interesting pair

but Yuffie and Vincent does seem less pervy than Rikku and Auron.

How?

Vincent lived in a coffin for a while and morphs into beasts, but it's still slightly less pervy than a teenager dating a dead 35 year old, I guess?

The Ceej
07-11-2007, 07:09 PM
I may be wrong, but wasn't Yuffie 16? And Vincent is either old or dead. I don't know which. He was in the coffin. So, Yuffie and Vincent is a lot like Rikku and a hybrid of Auron and Kimahri.

PeneloRatsbane
07-11-2007, 10:47 PM
no i mean now she's (yuffie) older and he (vincent) doesn't age, physically or mentally as he still as emo as a 15 year old with issues jk. i haven't played X in alonggg time i thought Auron was in his 50's isn't he? I mean physically. i'm probably wrong but thats what i thought, and wasn't rikku like 15?

edit: Auron is 35? oh thats not as bad then. I'm not jumping on this pairing, i for one was quite fond of it

07-12-2007, 12:27 AM
Lulu's baby is actually Auron's.

The Ceej
07-12-2007, 01:34 AM
I didn't think Vincent looked young to me. He may have been emotionally 15, but I'm sure he was at least 30. So, make Yuffie a couple years older, and it may not be illegal, but it's still wrong.

Same with Rikku and Auron.


People say, "When it comes to love, age is just a number."

And I like to point out the message of Beauty And The Beast:
"When it comes to love, species is just a word."

Any way you slice it, it's just....eww.

Vincent was 27 if I recall well when Hojo experimented on him waaaaay back then. I'm not sure how old Sephiroth is supposed to be, most likely in his 20's, so by the time Cloud find him in the basement of ShinRa mansion, Vincent is in his 40's, probably even early 50's, but doesn't look a day past 27 due to his condition. He'd be old enough to be the father of half the cast, which makes the Yuffie/Vincent shipping particularly creepy. The 20 years old Playmate marrying the 80 years old billionaire type of creepy.

Now, Rikku and Auron... Not as creepy, despite the fact she's still a teenager and he's dead, yet... still creepy. I'm not a fan of pedophilia and necrophilia. And I'm even less of a furry fan, so I'd rather not imagine a Kimahri/Rikku pairing.

And don't get me started on the incestuous pairings. Squall/Laguna, anyone? *shudders* I've even seen Tidus/Jecth and Seymour/Anima. My eyes were bleeding without even reading the fics.

Dynast-Kid
07-12-2007, 04:56 AM
Lulu's baby is actually Auron's.

So Lulu had a gestational period of 2 years? That's inhuman...

Seymour/Anima? How would you do the do with a mummified,fish-demon beast?

The Ceej
07-12-2007, 06:01 AM
I've always wondered what the connection between Squall and Laguna was. Some people say they're father and son, but that doesn't follow. People have all kinds of crazy theories, but from my experiences in the game, I found there actually was no familial connection. It's just that Laguna raised Ellone and Ellone sent Squall to the past. So, they got to know each other through Ellone and not by any pre-existing relation. Maybe I missed something, but I doubt it.

So, yeah. That's not incestuous.

PeneloRatsbane
07-12-2007, 12:05 PM
Its heavily implied that Laguna is Squall's father,
Laguna married Raine, Raine got pregnant, Raine had Squall, Raine died while Laguna was away, Squall and Ellone were taken to the orphanage.
its been a lonnng time since i played 8 but i always thought it was pretty clear.

Lulu's baby Aurons? then how come its got red hair lol. that kid is definately Wakka's.....or Reno's?

either way its a differnt world where different rules apply, because one day Yuffie will be older (physically) than Vincent, so would anyone he tried to go out with, so wots he sposed to do, just be a moody sob for eternity?

daggertrepe
07-12-2007, 02:37 PM
I actually don't discriminate with age. I don't mind the pairing, it's actually quite cute. :)

The Ceej
07-12-2007, 04:36 PM
But that doesn't follow. Laguna is only ten years older than Squall. He must have been getting busy really young if that's true.

Eiko Guy
07-12-2007, 06:21 PM
:love: Tidakka:love:

Tidus and Wakka would be so adorable together. Imagine it Tidus snuggling close to Wakka as they slumber. Or wakka smacking Tidus with the blitzball causing Tidus to chase Wakka through the water. Both shirtless of course. When he catches him he wrestles him into a passionate kiss. hehe:love:

The Ceej
07-12-2007, 07:08 PM
Yeah. I've made that Tidus/Wakka connection in several places on this forum. It's obviously that they want each other, I don't understand why they have to pretend they're not gay and go after Yuna and Lulu. They're only going to hurt the girls and possibly lead them to believe that it was the sex that turned them gay. I don't know how that feels, but it must be awful to be a girl that thinks she turned her man gay. They should just admit it. That's respectable.

Or maybe (assuming the theory of Shinra in X-2 is the creator of ShinRa in VII is correct) Reno is a descendant of Wakka and his baby.

And somehow Axel is related too.

It all makes sense now!

Laguna is 10 years older than Squall in the flash backs parts of the game, hes older when he's mayour or watever of Ester

Maybe even 45 or 46 considering it takes around nine months between conception and birth, and that Laguna spent a couple months in Winhill after the Lunatic Pandora incident and before he and Raine got in love, and we don't know for sure how much time passed before Ellone was abducted and Laguna left for Esthar, or even how long Laguna had been on the mission after the night he spent talking with Julia.

07-13-2007, 10:34 PM
I actually quite like the pairing, I can't think of it as necrophillia because Auron is not a decaying corpse he looks very much alive for 99% of the game. Also I don't see it as pedophillia, I could never imagine Auron dressing Rikku in a ballerina outfit and saying "come sit on daddy's knee little girl hehe" Auron is just not pervy :rolleyes2

...What do you think about them?

Probably because they have sort of the same attitudes. Remember when they both didn't go into the farplane? What do you think happened when they re alone together hmm? :eek:

Why does anyone put anyone together with anyone? Because "OMG they're so cute together!" A lot of crack ships out there don't work under logic, that's why they're called crack ships.
