(Anonymous) 2011-08-21 12:43 pm (UTC)(link)But I guess Juliet was never attracted to Tybalt's "RAWRR RAWRR REVENGEEE" negativity -- I think she admired Romeo for his good-natured idealism. :P

It's just that while poignant on the show, out of the tragic context of their impending deaths and their families hating each other mortally, it kind of bores me. Not in the show, but I can't ship it outside of it. It doesn't have to be boring just because they're similar (and they do have some differences), but it's like plain marshmellows or something. Enjoyable but bland, and it impaired my enjoyment of episode ten, though not the rest of the series. The whole pure first love at first sight doesn't make for an interesting thing to watch in and of itself.
The whole dynamic of Juliet being steel-hearted while very kind and forgiving clashing with Tybalt's negativity (yet with peeks at a possible softer side), while they're both on the same side is part of what makes me want to see the pairing in fanfic (and in canon if only they all had different names). Or at least more interaction- I'd even read a fic in which canon is completely intact but they spend more time together developing a friendship or mentorship or whatever (well I'd prefer to read a positive one, skimming a Tybalt fic once in which he didn't care about Juliet at all broke my heart). They have these seemingly opposite personalities, but they can bring out the other sides in each other that are more similar to themselves. I think there were hints of this in the show, though not in a romantic way. He took her out and wanted her to be more tough- she did eventually get past her problems with killing and being the Capulet heir even though she was still trying to spare Montague's life, and he sometimes acted nice to her and tried to support her romance after she told him she loved Romeo. They could have done more with the dynamic, somewhere in the middle of the show-which sometimes dragged- without changing the final episodes. This and that he's pretty.
I am so relieved to find recent posts, even comments, about this ship that I have responded to every one when normally I lurk in every fandom I am a part of. Well, and about the show at all. It's depressing when your fandom is both small and nearly dead (and so you cannot find stuff for your fanon ship).
