I think that the one that I find most outright amusing is the need for hurt/comfort where Mwu takes care of Murrue. I mean, look, people, there is canon Mwu/Murrue hurt/comfort in the series itself. She takes care of him. I guess you could say that they're filling the void by reversing it, but still.
I knew almost from the instant I attached to Mwu that fandom would get him all wrong, would idealize the fuck out of him and turn him into a flat, lifeless character. But I didn't foresee how badly they'd fuck up Murrue, or the many and varied creepy ways they'd fuck them both up.
Dammit, people, Mwu is boyish and in some ways emotionally immature--but is also a soldier. A very good one. To the point where he is a bad civilian. He is not a child.
And what the hell is it with what fandom does to strong female characters? First they whine about not having any, then they character-rape the ones they get!
The thought of Kira giving Mwu love advice is hilarious on so many levels, though. I should write a fic where Mwu tries to give Kira love advice.
"Make sure you've got a dramatic line. And you have to be smug! Then you kiss her!"

And Kira just stares at him blankly.
