The thing about Lebecca...

[Blaze]

If I see any flaming/ranting here I will ask the admins to lock this thread immediatly.

Okay, so I've had this thought in my mind popping up a lot and I just needed a place to put it. So I've noticed Lebecca (Lucky/Rebecca) is no doubt one of the most popular pairings floating around here. But I personally don't understand where's the real sense in it. And no, it's not because I ship LuckTone. Heck, that's one of my supported shippings I have the least motivation to defend.

I know Lucky liked her, and that it doesn't involve incest, but they don't make much of a good couple in my opinion. Now bear with me here, but Lucky is no doubt a bit of a boastful jerk. Why would Rebecca deserve someone like him? Besides, she never showed any real affection for him, and their personalities just seemed like they would clash if Rebecca actually lived on the farm. Lucky only liked her because of her looks, and relationships based from that factor don't work out that well.

So...I'd like to hear some opinions on how or how it can't work out. Any post that involves bringing up LuckTone to an extent is not allowed.

Well, I always thought Rebecca would eventually help Lucky become a better person. And yes, there was not much affection in the episode, but that is barely the point. Lyra and Bon Bon never shared a line and they are a very popular pairing, which makes little or no sense to me. I guess it depends on everyone's point of view; I see LeBecca working out because she is a girl with the attitude Lucky needs. He doesn't want a dog who lazed her butt off all day, he needs someone adventurous. And well, he said it; Rebecca is "different from other girls he has met."

I can see what you mean, you make a good argument. But even though Rebecca is the girl Lucky needs, it's not quite as fair on her behalf. She may be able to change him, but having to cope with him in doing so doesn't seem quite fair. What is he going to be able to provide for her on his side of the relationship? To me she needs someone just as adventurous, but kinder and more understanding. Someone who doesn't have to change himself and her to make both of them happy. But you have changed my perspective somewhat, thanks for giving me your opinion. ^ ^

You are also making a good point. Becca doesn't earn much from the relationship if you ask me XD
Ah, no problem. I actually like to share my opinions X3

That and one major fact in DeVillage Elder was the fact Lucky only liked Rebecca cause he was under the curse of DeVilville meaning he'd be eternally blissed after seeing Rebecca which would make him wanna stay in the village as part of the curse Hester Hen left to torment Judge Dimmsdale de Vil.

Besides as far as relations go i think Lucky would fare better with Two-Tone than with Rebecca since we know Tones knows Lucky better than Rebecca did (that and Lucky ignored Rebecca after Spot freed him from the curse and he was the first to realize they needed to get Roger and Anita out of the village before sunset, sorry Lebecca shippers but that did happen in the episode even though Lucky tried to invite Rebecca to come to the farm, rebecca refused since she was free of the curse and she wanted to protect her family from Judge Dimmsdale rather than abandon them to join Lucky)

Lyra, you've just summed up exactly the reason I stopped supporting it. Rebecca deserves better than a jerk like that...

...so I ship her with Mooch instead XP


@ TT - (Not trying to argue with you again because I know how badly that always ends - and as I said, I don't much like the pairing anymore either -, but you seem to be forgetting that Lucky was the only one who cared enough to ask Rebecca if she was alright after the curse was broken on her. Minor as it is, something like that is more than enough for some fans to build an entire ship from XP)
