The Five Questions Meme
How this meme works:
1 - Leave a comment, saying you want to be interviewed.
2 - I will respond; I'll ask you five questions.
3 - You'll update your journal with my five questions, and your five answers.
4 - You'll include this explanation. (if you care to do so)
5 - You'll ask other people five questions when they want to

Comments

I agree with like everything here. Uh, including the thing about Julie. Except I love him anyway????

... I WONDER IF I'M ALLOWED TO ASK YOU TO INTERVIEW ME BACK. I could just reply in a comment, to keep from spamming my LJ, even.

[come_home_laika]

Of course, bb. Now watch me try and make up questions.

1. What's the worst series that you ever liked?
2. Favorite character's dialogue to write?
3. Biggest facepalm moment while reading Reborn?
4. Are there any pairings or plot premises where as soon as you see it in a fic, you go "NOOOOONONONONONONONONO" and refuse to read it?
5. What's the most overlooked but awesome series that you wish people would just pay attention to already?

You know, I just realized that there was no rule about these questions being fandom related. Ffffffff- too lazy to go back and change it now.

[pen_over_fist]

1. PROBABLY REBORN.
2. ... Dialogue? Oh geez. UM. PROBABLY GOKUDERA, ACTUALLY.
3. Facepalm and then laugh, or facepalm and then bemoan my existence? Laugh: "THE TSUCHINOKO!!!!" Bemoan: the part where Uni smiled and EVERYONE blushed.
4. YES. A LOT.

-Tsuna/anyone (except for Basil or Gokudera-- GOKUDERA WHEN DID YOU GET INCLUDED IN THIS EXCEPTION)
-6918 that does not look like it will consist of 90% childish taunting/punching
-Most Bel/Fran
-10069
-etc. etc. but those are the main offenders. (Though admittedly 10069 is the least because the writers are actually bad and more because it's sort of a pairing that is nearly impossible to actually write well.)

5. MAR. ESPECIALLY THE SEQUEL.

[come_home_laika]

1...sob. It's true, isn't it?
2. Which is awesome, because I love the way you write his dialogue.
3. asw;dfkjas;djfdsif AGREED. ON BOTH.
4. Also agreed, really. It makes me sad that I don't see Tsuna and Basil very often, though. (And sort of terrified that I've seen fluffy 6918, that wasn't intended to be crack. I just...whu?)
Although one on the really rare occasions that someone gets 10069 right, it can be really lovely in a completely screwed up way.
5. I don't even read this (you know, like everybody else), and I knew you were going to say that.

Unrelated, but since I just posted it- I finally finished the Bianchi and Gokudera thing I promised. It's really quick and lame, but it wasn't going to get any better, so I just put it up like it is. Proof that I don't actually forget everything I say I'll do?

[pen_over_fist]

1. I swear it's just getting progressively worse in every area, which is very saddening ;_; BUT I LOVE THE CHARACTERS STILL...
2. f-ffff;; thank you?
3. GOKUDERA'S SUCH AN ADORABLE DORK. I would have picked the chanting, except that didn't come with a facepalm, just hysterical laughter.
4. BASIL IS THE ONLY PERSON I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED TO PAIR TSUNA WITH. I didn't use to like 5927, you probably remember this, even. But Basil/Tsuna is so saddeningly rare =< (THERE ARE A LOT OF PAIRINGS THAT ARE REALLY JUST NOT MADE FOR FLUFF, FANDOM. STOP MAKING THEM FLUFFY.)
... I haven't seen a good example. :|;;;;;
5. You know because I rant about it. :| IT'S SO DISAPPOINTINGLY RARE TO FIND PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY KNOW IT,T HOUGH ;A;

1. The beginning of this arc was so promising, too. Then the inheritance ceremony went from OH GOD SO EPIC YAAAAAYYY to FFFFFFFAAAAAAAAAIIIIILLLLLLL in record time. I think I might even miss the future arc. At least the failbikes were funny and I could amuse myself by counting all of Byakuran's different rapefaces (437).
3. The chanting. I mean, the scene was hysterical, but the fact that he actually had it memorized beforehand...just. Oh, Gokudera. The things you do in your spare time.
4. I've seen a few good examples, but the best one was by this one author who just apparently disappeared or something a while back, and I can't find anymore of her stuff. The rest I lost the links to when my hard drive crashed >:

[pen_over_fist]

1. I KNOW. They were such awesome characters right from the start AND THEN THE ARC JUST DECIDED TO UP AND KILL ITSELF OR SOMETHING. (Really? Are we counting the hysterical drug-high grins in these figures?)
3. It's my favorite aspect of Gokudera's personality. AND IT ISN'T EVEN A PART THAT FURTHERS MY LOVE OF TORMENTING HIM.
4. sob. LINKS, AT LEAST?

[come_home_laika]

1. (Depends on how rapey they were. If they were more, "Look at the pretty colors! Dance with me my marshmallow friends!" then no. If they were more, "Why hello there cute little talking bunny. Why don't you come to my van and have some candy?" then yes.)
3. ...There are parts of Gokudera that don't make you want to torment him?
4. I lost them all when my hard drive crashed last year, and I haven't read anymore since. That's how rare it is ;;.

[pen_over_fist]

1. (What about the MASSIVE ORGASM face?)
3. YEAH, HIS DORKINESS MAKES ME WANT TO CUDDLE HIM, ACTUALLY. And gossip about urban legends.
4. Y-yeah. 10069 is not rare in itself, but quality in it. orz

[come_home_laika]

1. (...WHICH ONE?)
3. SO WHAT PARTS OF HIM MAKE YOU WANT TO TORTURE HIM MERCILESSLY?
4. This makes me both happy and very depressed that all the things I like are just rare, period. /CONFLICTED EMOTIONS AAAAHHHH

[pen_over_fist]

1. ("INSIDE MY BODY~")
3. His prickliness, his temper, his bad past, his attempts at looking cool, his obsession with being worthy, basically everything where he either a) tries to look like a badass but then FAILS MISERABLY or b) gets defensive.
4. You need to be like me and just take a deep breath, and quietly step outside the Reborn fandom... we're accepted sometimes, out there, you know! (No, but really, the Ace Attorney fandom is fucking beautiful.)

[come_home_laika]

1. (...I THINK I MAY HAVE BLOCKED THAT ONE OUT OF MY MIND ENTIRELY. AND DON'T YOU DARE LINK ME TO IT, EITHER. >8I)
3. So basically the entire fact that he's an emotionally retarded nerd with a massive capacity for wibbly angst and legendary amounts of denial?
4. B-but I do have other fandoms...and everything I like is rare! It's not my fault I have good taste ):. (Sadly, I know nothing of Ace Attorney.)

[pen_over_fist]

1. (IT WAS THE PART WHEN HE WAS. FLYING. WITH A BUNCH OF RAINBOW FLAMES AROUND HIM.)
3. YES.
4. ... sadly, sitting down and thinking of it, the first three fandoms that come to mind that aren't Reborn are Kingdom Hearts, ie the fandom that loves That One Jackass with Hedgehog Hair (though the disagreements are mild besides that, IT IS AN AWFUL DISAGREEMENT AND I HAVE ONLY FOUND LIKE TWO PEOPLE OUT OF DOZENS WHO ALSO DO NOT LIKE AXEL), Guilty Gear, ie the fandom that barely exists, and AA, ie the Best Fandom Ever. If I keep trying to add on fandoms, I get FMA, which is ALL HET ALL THE TIME WHERE IS THE FUCKING YURI YOU HAVE PLENTY OF KICKASS WOMEN THERE IS NO EXCUSE, Negima, which does not appreciate my favorite characters at ALL ;_;, MAR, which hates MAR Omega WHICH I LIKE MORE THAN MAR-- this is not a good track record hakjskgohokrjta
