Pairing Meme
Stolen from visualcomplex's journal.
Six Pairings I Like:
Oh gods, I always fail at things like this because I adore so many pairings. Erm, here goes:
1. Byakuya/Renji
2. Shunsui/Jyuushiro
3. Gin/Izuru
4. Shuuhei/Izuru
5. Aizen/Gin
6. Kisuke/Yoruichi
That was tough, damnit. I don't really mind who's topping in any pairing I like. Switching is good.
Three Ships I've Abandoned:
7. Sasuke/Naruto - Naruto
8. Actually, just pretty much everything in Naruto that isn't Suigetsu/Karin or Shikamaru/Temari
9. Erm... Tatsuki/Orihime (not that I can't see it, I'm just not interested in it.)
Three Ships I've Never Liked:
10. Uryuu/Orihime
11. Ichigo/Orihime
12. Toshiro/Rangiku
Two Ships that have Piqued my Interest:
13. Kenpachi/Byakuya ♥
14. Aizen/Everybody
The questions:
#1. Why do you dislike 11 (Ichigo/Orihime) so much?
I don't think they'd be good for each other. He wouldn't treat her well, and he needs somebody that would shout him down, fight him down if need be. Renji or Tatsuki or somebody.
#2. Who do you know that ships 13 (Kenpachi/Byakuya)?
I believe megan_moonlight has been enjoying their recent banter in manga and anime filler with me. More people should ship this. I'd like some fic (recs anybody?).
#3. What would be your ideal scenario for couple 3 (Gin/Izuru)?
Office sex please, with mindfuckery from Gin. Lots of talking. I don't mind who tops. No superuke!Izuru please. Sure, he seems the type to be submissive, but the guy is a man, not a schoolgirl.
#4. What is your favorite moment for 1 (Renji/Byakuya)?
Without a doubt, this.
#5. How long have you been following couple 6 (Kisuke/Yoruichi)?
Since... oh gods, I don't know. Since we met them? Even more so since Turn Back The Pendulum. I wish there was more fic of them.
#6. What's the story with 8 (most Naruto pairings)? What made you stop caring?
I'm just not that into the manga any more. The plot is getting absurd and consequently boring, so I find myself caring for the characters less and less, particularly as most of them get no panel space because Sasuke is hogging it all.
#7. Which ship do you prefer-- 2 (Shunsui/Jyuushiro) or 4 (Shuuhei/Izuru)?
Cruel meme is cruel. *curls into foetal position* You can't make me choose!
#8. You have the power to make one ship non-existent. Choose from 10 (Uryuu/Orihime) or 12 (Toshiro/Rangiku).
I'm not that mean! People can ship what they enjoy. I'll just choose not to take part if I don't share that enjoyment.
#9. What interests you about 14 (Aizen/Everybody)?
Kyouka Suigetsu and other mindfuckery. Aizen is pretty much a god. Sexy, evil, sexy god. He can make anything happen, have anything he wants. Naturally, I'm curious about that...
#10. When did you stop liking 7 (Sasuke/Naruto)?
A while ago. It was a gradual thing, as I got bored of them and the fandom around Naruto too. It's been made pretty final by how Sasuke has been a real dick to Naruto all through part 2, although I still do like their bond and would happily write more gen stuff about them.
#11. Did your waning interest in 9 (Tatsuki/Orihime) kill your interest in the series?
Not in the slightest.
#12. What's a song that reminds you of 5 (Aizen/Gin)?
So, so many songs. Off the top of my head, I'll cheat and say the Sonic Jihad album by Snake River Conspiracy.
#13. Which of these ships do you love the most right now?
While my favourite pairings change frequently, I spent about two hours last night reading Renji/Byakuya pr0nfic. Need I say more?
#14. Which do you dislike the most?
I refuse! No comment!
#15. If you could have any of these pairings double date, who would they be?
Oh, easy peasy pie. Renji/Byakuya and Kisuke/Yoruichi. Yoruichi would relentlessly throw teasing comments at Byakuya during conversation.
#16. Have 2 (Shunsui/Jyuushiro) kissed yet? Elaborate if yes.
In my mind, many times. Mmm... There was much kissing in a fic that I enjoyed writing rather more than I probably should have.
#17. Did 4 (Shuuhei/Izuru) have a happy ending? Do you think one is likely?
I very much hope so! They make a lovely couple, and they deserve some happiness after having such bastards for captains.
#18. What would make you start shipping 14 (Aizen/Everybody)?
I ship it. People writing/drawing lots and lots of fic/art.
#19. If only one could happen, which would you prefer-- 2 (Shunsui/Jyuushiro) or 6 (Kisuke/Yoruichi)?
Nununununu, but their bonds are both so canon. How can I possibly choose only one?
#20. You have the power to decide the fate of 10 (Uryuu/Orihime).
Orihime decides that she prefers arrancar cock and runs off to Hueco Mundo to fall into bed/the sand/the walls of Las Noches between Grimmjow and Ulquiorra.
Uryuu ends up in an interesting relationship with his father with Ichigo or Renji or some other sexy shinigami.
