NOTE: I am overly sarcastic. I don't have nearly as much against other Saiyuki pairings as I could, although I do get irrationally angry at certain ones, which will be made clear. I don't mean this to be a flame towards anyone's tastes; if you are offended, please do not take it as an attack, merely as poorly worded sarcasm. Thank you.

A long time ago, in an apartment not too far from here... a fangirl had a dream.

This dream was simple, but it was good. For the fangirl had been busily being a fangirl all over Saiyuki for years--good years. Though sporadic in her fanfiction postings at best, this fangirl had dedicated herself, within the Saiyuki realm, to writing and collecting dribs and drabs of 58/85 mansmut.

And lo, the fangirl was by and large alone, for each time she posted her fanfiction on the World Wide Intar Wub, ten Gojyo/Sanzo fics would spring up to take its place. And for every Tenpou/Kenren fanart she favorited, fifty Tenpou/Goujun were uploaded seconds later (or those really fucking creepy fics and art revolving around Hakuryu going batshit rabid and trying to have sex with Hakkai, which I'm really getting sick of having sprung on me in fanfiction, by the way--it's like a Jack in the Box containing a nuclear device or something).

The fangirl contrived of a device that she could use, to perhaps persuade others to, at the least, understand that there was more to the Gojyo/Hakkai yaoi pairing than "OMFG S00000 HAWRT!!111 :hump: ". Something else worth considering, instead of tossing aside in favor of hot kappa-on-priest action. After all, sometimes, when people say that they hate each other--it's because they hate each other, not because they want to screw.

The fangirl contrived a Gojyo/Hakkai evidence list.

She toiled away at this list, when she should have perhaps engaged in other activities, like eating, or sleeping, or getting out of her apartment every now and again. She glanced over manga, and two versions of the anime (the "official" American translation and the surprisingly good Hong Kong/fansubs), and wrote up a respectable argument.

Not long after, God saw it fit to smite the fangirl utterly. For indeed, he caused her computer to implode, so that it would not even turn on. All data was lost, and the fangirl went into mourning for a year and a day (OK, so it's been a couple of months).

In the end, the fangirl hit upon a grand idea. Truly, she could not recover the lost information on her hard drive, and she no longer had the time to recover all the information herself. But, surely, she could appeal to her fellow fangirls and fanboys, could she not?

</Biblical talk>

So that's the gist of it, really. ^^; The next big project of the Gojyo/Hakkai club will be compiling a 58/85 evidence list. The list will be uploaded as a deviation to ~Gojyo-x-Hakkai, and edited as I receive submissions for it! Neat! :slow:

The evidence is going to be filed under a couple of different categories: stuff from the manga (official and unofficial), and stuff from the anime (official and unofficial). We all know that the translations were flubbed, sometimes moderately and sometimes nastily--and sometimes hilariously, as they made the Sanzo ikkou even more gay than they were originally.

To submit your evidence to the list, you must state the following:

-What sort of evidence it is
-Where you got it from (official translations, original Japanese, fansubs, scantillations, Hong Kong DVDs)
-What it is. Be as accurate as possible; it'd be great if, for instance, you quote direct dialogue. If you can also provide an instance of a mistranslation, let me know. Something like this:

"This is on DVD 5, and in volumes 5-6 of the manga, during the battle with the scorpion-youkai. Hakkai gets wounded; in the official translations, Gojyo snaps at him, saying 'You're makin' me look bad!' In the original Japanese, however, he says 'You make me feel horrible/useless'."

You can then go on to theorize as you like. :D

When it's submitted, your evidence might be rewritten for clarity, spelling and grammar. However, the credit will always be given to everyone who points it out--so if three people bring up the same point, all three will be given credit for it. ^^ You can either Note it to me or to ~Gbeanjuice, or comment on this journal.

(Stories of non-yaoi fans who believe that Gojyo/Hakkai is canon are accepted as evidence. I have a couple, myself. ;) )
