The subject matter, sorry I wasn't more specific. XD Though if you want to give any constructive criticism, feel free. Just try not to be too harsh.

It's okay.

Heh-heh, thank you! 
Basically, this is something that I think *could* have happened: Colleen begins to feel like she's getting nowhere with Hunter, who continues to be seemingly unaware of any serious feelings she has for him. Meanwhile, Blitz has undergone some major maturing, and he's stopped trying to hit on Colleen (I have a small theory that Blitz may or may not have given up on her in the last episode) and treats her like a fellow soldier as opposed to a piece of meat. So the Collie finds herself becoming attracted to this new Blitz, and after a bit, decides to ask Blitz out on a date.Β
Hunter finds out, and of course is so shocked he doesn't know what to make of it. But in the end, after just one kiss, Blitz and Colleen realize once and for all that they're better off friends, and so decide to 'break up'. That's all. X)

That idea's way more realistic and true to the characters then every Blitz/Colleen ship fic and RP I've ever seen before. I can see Colleen getting tired of chasing oblivious old Hunter (which I'm sure is why so many fics pairing them change him into a more serious/less emotionally dense personality then he was in the show, IMHO).
π: 0 β©: 1
Why thank you!
Colleen comes in and he casually asks, "Where'd you go?" "Oh, no where in particular." "Did you at least have a nice time?" "You could say that, yes."Β
Finally Hunter can't stand it and decides to just come out and say it, "Y'know, you and Blitz do make a cute couple."
Colleen gives a comically long gasp. "You saw us?!" "Mm-hm. I admit, it was certainly one of the many things I would not have predicted-"
"Look, Hunty-"
"No, hey, I get it. Blitz is a great guy. And hey, he's certainly a hot dog, I'll give him that much. Heck, if he weren't dating you, I'd consider dating him!"
Colleen stares at Hunter before laughing her head off. "Well, if you wanna date him, Hunty, go right ahead, cuz I sure ain't!"
Hunter blinks, then his eyes light up. "Oh?! Ahem, I mean, oh? Er, what's the matter? Er, I mean... he's not bad at kissing, is he?"
"Not in the slightest," winks Colleen. "But he's not for me, and I'm not for him. We're just friends now."
"Oh. Oh good. So..." He looks deep into her eyes. She smiles tenderly back at him. Then after a moment he says, "Does this mean that Blitz is still single?"
Colleen grabs a pillow from the couch and hits him with it, and they both laugh. x)

Yeah, I can't really see the two of them working out together in the long-run though. I didn't say this before, but it's cool that you have Collen ad Blitz part as friends. I <3Β character development.
That was really nice to read! I like how they all acted like, well, adults, and you fleshed them out well. It's a rarity to see fan writers try to develop the Rovers beyond what little characterization they had in the show. It's also just really refreshing to not see someone be made into the bad guy in this scenario, because sad to say most fans would've gone that route and simply targeted whichever Rover they hate the most.
π: 0 β©: 1
Aww, thank you very much!
Heh-heh, but you know what I think? I think BlitzxHunter has a better shot at working than BlitzxColleen does.
π: 0 β©: 1
Anytime!
Yeah, I've seen stuff like that on TV too, and in books. It is cliche, noxious, and overdone. These are supposed to be grownups we're dealing with here. Of course they're the heroes as well, but many fans appear not to grasp that fact. Even the two of us can agree that the Master seems like a pretty sage and intelligent man, right? So it cracks me up whenever I see people calling Blitz a horrible person with no capacity to love and who oppresses womankind and stuff. Why would the Master recruit someone like that in the first place? In essence you're calling him an idiot with no judgement skills.
At least I know if you were to actually write BlitzxHunter it'd be handled better then the only other time I've seen it done before. Out of all the Rovers, I have the most ships for Blitz.
π: 0 β©: 1
Hah, yeah. Obviously the Master knew what he was doing when he recruited them, and really, all of the Rovers, including Blitz, have risen to the occasion during their missions. True, Blitz has cowered and tried to sell out his teammates whenever he's held hostage, but he's managed to help out on several occasions. He might be a glory-hound (no pun intended) but he's never let his ego get in the way of a mission.
But I'd like to know what these people think love actually is when they say Blitz is incapable of it, and what oppressing womankind is really like - especially when Blitz only ever interacts with *ONE* female dog on a regular basis. The only other female he has any kind of regular contact with is the Groomer, but she's a villain who's trying to KILL the Rovers, so Blitz shooting at her is kind've justified.
Awww, you think so? Thanks. 
Really? Me too! ^^ Course I'd have it be a sort of 'rule' that out of all the Rovers, Blitz has the most romantic relationships (he'd mostly have girlfriends, but he'd have maybe a few boyfriends, just to emphasize his sexual appeal
But who do you ship Blitz with?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yep. And honestly, Blitz wasn't a particularly buttmonkey to me. Then again, I think a lot of characters that get slapped with that label aren't as bad as fandom and the canon wants you to think they are. Characters that get pushed as being the best and perfect are significantly more nerve-wracking to me. Some people go too far and vilify characters they dislike (in this I partly blame the show itself for that). I don't like Hunter myself, but I feel like I'm pretty fair to him whenever I do write him..
EXACTLY. He wasn't around enough ladies where we could see how he reacted to them. Honestly, I think what is with these people is that Blitz is a stand-in for someone who's wronged them in the past (an ex, a school bully) that they take their anger out on, they're Hunter stans and HunterXColleen shippers who see him as a threat, or fans who are just following the crowd. Just because we never saw Blitz being lovey-dovey with someone within the show doesn't mean that he couldn't be that way with someone he loved.
LOL.
Oh, a bunch of OFCs, and Rarity and Fluttershy from My Little Pony. It makes no sense, I know.
π: 0 β©: 1
On some levels, I think he was, but not nearly enough to deserve to be labeled one. Course all the Rovers had 'buttmonkey' moments (Hunter may have been a great pilot, but he sucked at landings, something Colleen was all too willing to share with him
Yes, that does seem to be the case with some people. I remember meeting this one girl in real life who just *HATED* Ron Weasley, and all the reasons she listed for why she did, it sounded like she was talking about an ex-boyfriend.
Which OFCS? Come on, I want details!
π: 0 β©: 1
Apologies, I meant to say "Blitz wasn't a particularly bad person to me". Like if he was a real person and I was around him, I'd roll my eyes at him and would be like 'Dude, come on", and that's it. He's too silly and pompous to be taken a some sort threat like these fans try to turn him into. He wasn't even a bully or anything like that, though I'm sure you can find people who'd argue he is.
Oh, no rush in reading it! And thank you! I try to keep in mind this little fact: "Every character has a fan. Every single one."
Oh wow. I've run into real fanbrats too. There was this one girl who hated Jean Grey in the X-Men movies. She said she was pointless or something to that effect, but she couldn't explain her position. Yes, I do remember that scene! That counts as evidence towards Blitz's not being horrible to his significant other.
Well, aside from Psamanthe the Greek cat, there's:
- Clover the Irish setter, who belongs to a fan named Bitsy (really wish I could get in contact with her, because she had some great OFCs). She was from Ireland and a computer exert. A really sweet and kind character who had a crush on Blitz.
- Switchblades/Blades the Japanese akita, who belongs to That One Evil Writer. She's a tough and intelligent martial artist who's obsession is kicking tooshies
- Huntress. It's a thing in my fics (for a while), but I don't actively ship it like I do the other ones.
- Rasicles, who I think you already know about it?
But isn't that something you should strive for when pairing characters? Making sure they actually have compatible personalities?
Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah, yeah. Yes, I agree.Β
But still, I'm curious to see how its all turning out! I still want to make Hunter's nightmare into a comic book.
Ugh. Its one thing to not like a character (sometimes that happens; no matter what the character says or does, you just don't like them), but to come up with reasons that aren't even true... yeah. Heh-heh, but yeah... also, there was that other moment in "Still a Few Bugs in the System" where after Exile saves the day by freezing the bugs, Blitz rushes up to him, crying, "Oh THANK you Exile, THANK you! I will LOVE you, ALWAYS!" before kissing the Husky several times. ROFL! So, yeah. I'd say that's another piece of evidence that Blitz knows how to treat any significant other.
Did you already tell me about Psamanthe? Did you post pics of them together? Sorry, its hard for me to remember certain things...
Clover sounds really cute (I'd have her be one of Blitz's many girlfriends ;D), and Blades sounds pretty awesome, though I can't help but mentally pair her up with MDTartist83's OFC, Tsunami, who is also a Japanese Akita, only he's a samurai as opposed to a martial artist. Lol...
I like BlitzxHuntress, but personally I don't really see them working out. I don't know why, they just don't seem like they'd last. I don't seem them becoming bitter exes, though. They just both decide its not working out and they part ways on relatively good terms.Β
You might have told me about Rasicles, but I've sadly forgotten. Refresh my memory, please?Β
That is true. Course that's why I enjoy BlitzxKumori so much, because of what each one's personality does to the other. Plus they're both possibly insane (albeit in a harmless way
....Okay, now I think you should draw all the Rovers as ponies. Seriously.
Heh, thinking up scenarios like that is fun (I even once came up with a High School AU - have you ever heard of those? - where the Rovers, along with my OFC Roger, and ToonTorment's Ninja-ken, are all normal teenagers living in a 'furry-verse'. We managed to come up with some pretty interesting scenarios.
Blitz would be a natural born model, he'd be perfect for Rarity in that case.

But still, I'm curious to see how its all turning out! I still want to make Hunter's nightmare into a comic book.
If you like to, then by all means go ahead!
I don't have a problem with people who don't like a certain character for valid reasons. I do however, have zero respect for character bashers. I wouldn't even want to read about a character I dislike getting bashed (well, there's only one character where this doesn't bother me, but I would never bash himself). Yeah, exactly. Blitz has a nice side. More often then though, the show made him look bad much of the time and the fanbase took it overboard.
Yeah, Psamathe's the cat here: nicgiraffe.deviantart.com/art/β¦
Clover was cute. It's a shame her creator never seemed to do anything with her or the other Sea Rovers. Really? I think an encounter between Switchblades and Tsunami might be neat to see. Maybe I'll draw that sometimes. There's just so many ideas I'm dying to sketch, lol.
I know what you mean abut Huntress and Blitz. I do give Huntress props since she was the first OFC I ever saw to be paired with him. I agree about them breaking up peacefully. And just in case someone else happens to read this and thinks I'm trashing Huntress or something, I'm not. I know she and Blitz had a kid together in Greywolf's fics, and that's totally cool. It just doesn't occur in my story-verse.
Rasicles is the sea otter -- short guy with a penchant for magic as well as actual magical powers. If you still don't remember then don't worry, I'm presently working on a sketch of him.
Yeah, to me, couples that play off one another are more fun then ones that are polar opposites or whatever.
Well, I was planning to do a series of pics featuring the Rovers interacting with different pones -- Exile with Big Mac, Colleen and Applejack, etc. I have seen a couple of ponified Rovers pics floating around though.
I even once came up with a High School AU - have you ever heard of those?
Oh yes.
IKR? LOL, he might need a good lecturin' from her from time to time. They could have some pretty cute interaction together! "Oh my, Mr. Doberman -- your teeth are very white and shiny!"
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you for the approval.
Agreed, though may I ask which character is it that you don't mind bashing?
Oh that's right, I remember her! Hah, yeah, she's cute. x3
That is a shame, but oh well. Sometimes that happens. Oooh, I'd *love* to see that! Lol, oh yes, I know *exactly* what that's like!
Hm, maybe that's why I've seen so many fics of her with Blitz; she was the first, so people just simply place them together. So they end up having a kid together in Greywolf's fics? That's nice, good for them. ^-^ Though yes, that wouldn't happen in my own story-verse either.Β
I'd like to see a pic of Rasicles - somehow that name reminds me of "rascal".
Ooh, I'd like that too!
Heh. Well, ToonTorment and I were able to come up with a few fun scenarios, though we mostly had fun coming up with all the different backgrounds for either the canon Rovers or our OFCs. I particularly enjoyed coming up with Roger's background: his father is a military guy, and his mother is an extremely wealthy heiress, so Roger has a *lot* of connections - which he uses to his advantage at any time he can in order to fulfill any of his teenage wishes. Lol!
Hehe, awwwww! I just imagined them having tea together! x3

Yeah I didn't either.Blitz is always trying to get colleens attention and she turns him down by acting like she dosen;t know him.My feeling is she's trying to make hunter jealous by kissing blitz much to his delight,but probally won't work.

Uh oh... Somehow I get the feeling Blitz is in trouble now...
π: 0 β©: 1
Why do you say that?
π: 0 β©: 1
Because Hunter looks like he could go into a rage at any moment. Given his short temper with Blitz, I have a feeling things could get ugly.
π: 0 β©: 1
Why would he get angry? And why would he get angry only at Blitz?
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, because he and Blitz were never good friends. And since Blitz is usually the one who Hunter takes out his anger on, I feel that things would become more personal than before.
π: 0 β©: 1
Wow, you really have a dark view of what Hunter and Blitz's relationship was like. They got along fine in the series. Sure, they argued on occasion, but for the most part, Hunter was always cheerful and sweets towards Blitz. And really, Hunter never took his anger out on anyone - mostly because he rarely ever got angry (he did, just rarely).Β
But let me ask you this: why would Hunter get mad at Blitz for kissing Colleen? What makes you think that in this pic, Hunter and Colleen were ever an item?
π: 0 β©: 2
I thought you already know that, after all, unlike me, Matt had dark thoughts.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh I knew. Sometimes I just forget *how* dark.Β
π: 0 β©: 0
From how I see it, Blitz was always jealous of Hunter for having everything. Even though he didn't always complain about it, he would bring it up from time to time. Once in the first episode, and again in the last episode. So their relationship is in question. I admit that I do have a pessimistic view on Blitz's relation with the team and everything. But I think I have a valid point when I say that Hunter and Blitz's relation is rather bittersweet. And to say that they were good friends is clearly stretching it when that's clearly not the case. Granted, they weren't always so hateful with each other. But I still think their so-called friendship could have been better developed. But to be fair, they're even. Because Blitz never apologized for teasing Hunter about his mother in the photo. And Hunter never apologized to Blitz for snapping at him. Yes, I know Blitz didn't have much of a reaction to Hunter's behavior, but it would have been nice if they at least apologized to one another.
Well, because Hunter and Colleen are close together. And given the amount of time they spend with each other in the TV show, it's clear that they had something going on, despite how Hunter seems oblivious to it at times. But then again, this is fanart. So I'll just be fair, and say that in the imagination, anything is possible. Colleen would NEVER let Blitz get that close to her. But like I said, it's up to the artist to decide what he or she wants to draw. After all, who am I to question what others do in terms of art? Besides, in a way, this is actually heartwarming to see Colleen and Blitz kiss despite Hunter's confused expression.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
ROFL! Blitz jealous of Hunter for having "everything"? Oh dude, no. No, no, no.
But I don't think Blitz and Hunter's relationship was that bittersweet: remember how Hunter affectionately hugged Blitz in "Take Me to Your Leader"? Plus in "Storm From the Pacific", Hunter wanted to sniff Blitz, and in "Where Rovers Dare" Hunter took Blitz's advice that they all scream as their plane plummets towards the earth.
You don't hug, sniff, and take advise from somebody you don't like. Not unless you're forced to. And Hunter was not forced to do any of those things. I believe firmly that Hunter likes Blitz. The fact that they occasionally snap at each other doesn't have anything to do with hatred, its just two different personalities occasionally clashing. And that happens with friends *ALL THE TIME*. All friendships go through things like that.Β
Regarding Blitz and Hunter not apologizing to each other about the photo incident, somehow I get the impression that was an incident that didn't necessarily need an apology. I've gotten into fights with friends that we haven't apologized for, yet we never really had to because we both kinda knew we were already forgiven. No real grudges were hold, and I think that's how it is with Blitz and Hunter.
And now, to explain the meaning of my fanart:Β
Colleen has begun to feel like she's getting nowhere with Hunter, who continues to be seemingly unaware of any serious feelings she has for him. Meanwhile, Blitz has undergone some major maturing, and he's stopped trying to hit on Colleen (I have a small theory that Blitz may or may not have given up on her in the last episode) and treats her like a fellow soldier as opposed to a piece of meat. So the Collie finds herself becoming attracted to this new Blitz, and after a bit, decides to ask Blitz out on a date.Β
They go out, have themselves a nice time, and then comes the moment where they have the option to kiss goodnight. So they do, and Hunter walks in on them. And of course he is so shocked he doesn't know what to make of it.Β
What happens next? Well, I'm still a bit unclear on the details, but suffice it to say, Blitz and Colleen realize they're better off as friends, and decide to 'break up'.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, okay. You have a point there.
But let me just make a few things clear; I can agree to an extent that Hunter and Blitz weren't the worst of enemies, but nor were they good friends either. It's kind of like Leonardo and Raphael's relation, or Wolverine and Cyclops' relation; they're not exactly bitter enemies, but there's still a lot of tension and hatred between them. In some cases, those aforementioned characters were shown to have a bittersweet relation. It IS possible for two team members to despise one another and have respect for each other at the same time. I think we can both agree that it's not that uncommon for there to be hostility in a relation between two or more people. But can we agree that their relation was underdeveloped and that their issues could have been better resolved? Especially since the show was only 13 episodes long? And yes, I know that Road Rovers was geared primarily for children, but there's no reason (aside from its premature cancellation) why it couldn't be better thought out, better executed, with more developed characters and a more driven plot and storyline.
π: 0 β©: 1
Perhaps they weren't technically good friends, but they certainly had the potential to be. And I believe its up to fans to allow that potential to grow and flourish.
While you may have a point about Wolverine and Cyclops, I disagree where Leonardo and Raphael are concerned, because they're brothers. Of course they love each other, they're always there for each other, they'll go to the ends of the world to save the others' life. Sure there's tension and rivalry, but that doesn't overrule the brotherly love they have for one another. But anyway, back to Blitz and Hunter.Β
Yes, their relationship was indeed underdeveloped and could have been better resolved, but again, like I said above, its up to the fans to help things like that develop.
