Please listen to both songs before voting

Sombra's Door

I typically look at the idea of Zero being relatively emotionally naive / cold vs X’s warmth and pathos. Zero looks up to X for that reason (at least after x4 probably) and X looks up to zero for the strength he exudes. Both are probably inwardly hurting more than they let on though so it ends up becoming interesting to write about. THOUGH THIS IS PROBABLY ALREADY DONE TO DEATH. Makes good songs though

I LOVE seeing fics that explore that! The mutual respect Zero and X have for each other is such a wonderful thing, I love it so much. I wouldn't mind reading fics about that aspect of their relationship over and over again (sadly, not that many fics delve into it). Zero and X both have their faults and insecurities, but they rely on one another for support (at one point in Xtreme 2, Zero says “We’ve fought until now by believing in each other”). It’s really sweet (and it does make for good songs!) Canon explicitly confirms that too, which is always nice:

“Zero and X have faced and fought through many difficulties together. As long as X is with him, Zero can do anything. Though he doesn’t express it, Zero believes this with all his heart. This is something that will never change.” (Megaman Xtreme 2)

Patron is like the only good tequila

Ohh I didn't know you wrote songs about the Megaman series! You should share those sometime! (I have listened to a few of your other songs, they’re really neat!) Iris/Zero isn't really my thing, but I might check his stuff out since that sounds like an interesting portrayal of Zero's active fight against the virus. 

I just saw this post again and I’ve been looking at covering Clover and like… CielZero is kinda CANON??? *voms*

I had no idea what "Clover" was so I just googled it & the lyric translation and I don't see anything pointing towards Zero / Ciel? (in fact, the lines "the name of that flower ended up blurred at the bottom of memory / my heart is parched as if I'm losing a fragment of myself" makes me think of Zero losing his memories of X, which in turn screwed him over because he lost a huge chunk of his personality because of that). Either way, I still stand by my stance of "14 year old kids shouldn’t be shipped with centuries old robots".

Actually, while we’re on the subject of Megaman songs, someone reminded me of “Mizu no Naka”, the gay as hell end credit song they wound up not using for X5 (which is a DARN SHAME because X's VA sung it and boy howdy. This ain’t even subtext, this is just plain text I mean for heaven's sake, he straight up says "I love you" in that song I'M STILL LOSING MY MIND OVER THIS AGH. (The last refrain in the background even sounds like it's from Zero's PoV, heck, he compares X to the sun like he does in the manga!!! I’m a wreck!!!) 

“One More Time” from X3 is another good one. (My exact reaction to hearing it while reading the translations for the first time verbatim was:) 

"I want to remove the obstacles of the heart to reach you" aw. "Because only you know how special you are to me" AW. "I wish to be with you tomorrow" / "Don't forget you're the only one I want" MAN, AND I THOUGHT THE GAMES WERE SUBTLE. HECK. 

For some reason I’ve never heard anyone outright say “14 year olds with centuries old robots” before and had quite the laugh - thank

(ゝω・`)┏┏  I aim to amuse

I mean look I ship XAlia most heavily even though I recognize it’s dumb stupid and probably me projecting but lets be real - XZero is tight

you could do what I do with music and write a bunch of drabbles but never publish them. Just doing it is enough, not every creative piece has to be the tour de france broadcast for the world, sometimes it's enough to just make it (to extend the metaphor, like going for a bike ride anyway)

See, I do that, but I write fanfics specifically because I want to share them! and get praised
