It's a dangerous thing, not knowing your place in the world, you know
Time to revisit some of my favorite memes - fandom and shipping! Because it's been a while, I have an hour to kill before people come over, and even though Zutara is officially not-canon, it will always be canon in my heart. And also because of my new OTP of Fakir/Duck (I tried to come up with a neat word for it like "Zutara" but they all sounded bad XD).
List the first five of your OTPs that come into your head, but preferably from different fandoms.
1. Zuko/Katara (Avatar)
2. Roy/Riza (Fullmetal Alchemist)
3. Kyohei/Sunako (Wallflower)
4. Yuki/Machi (Fruits Basket)
5. Fakir/Duck (Princess Tutu)
1. When did you first fall in love with ship number 1?
I think we first started shipping them at the line "I'll save you from the pirates," but it wasn't really until season 2 and Zuko started being less evil that I really started liking the idea. At first it was a sort-of joke, but then we were like "Whoa...hey....YES"
2. When did you fall in love with ship number 5?
Last week! XD Duck needs a dance partner and Mr. Cat suggests Mytho - but Fakir doesn't like Duck and tries to keep everyone away from Mytho, so he pulls his angriest face and says, "Mytho stays here. I'll dance with her." I've always been a huge sucker for a beautiful ballet duet (don't tell anyone I'm so geeky!) and as I was watching my mouth fell open. Even with Fakir muttering threats to her every time he picked her up for a lift, it just looked so perfect. XD
3.What is your favorite moment of ship number 3?
In one of the episodes on the third DVD, when Sunako eats the poison mushrooms and turns all girly for a while. Then when she gets better, Kyohei sits in her room and watches a banned horror movie with her, and says, "I guess you're better this way." So cute. In...a creepy way.
4. What will the ship be if you take the boy from ship 2 and the girl from ship 1 and mesh them? If one or both of the ships are slash, then pick and choose.
Roy and Katara? Um, besides pedophilic? >.>;; Though Roy is kind of a firebender in his own right...that's a weird matchup...
5. Vice versa.
Zuko and Riza would probably result in Zuko getting Ultimate Smackdown'd a lot more than usual. Even more than Katara would. :x
6. What's your favorite moment for ship 4?
The part where Yuki is talking about snow. But he was totally supposed to kiss her. I was almost as disappointed as Kakeru that he didn't. XD
7. How long was there between the time you got into the fandom and the time you started shipping ship number 3?
It was actually a while; the anime puts them together pretty quick, but the manga doesn't. I'd read several volumes before I even realized that they were going to end up together.
8. When did you start shipping ship number 4?
Um...probably about the same time Kakeru did. And just as enthusiastically.
9. Take three random people from three of the ships and create an OT3?
Romantic triangle, eh? I would really like to see Katara and Sunako in a serious catfight. Over Fakir. The more I think about it...the better it sounds....
10. Rank your OTPs in order.
That's tough. I would probably put Fakir/Duck at the top, just because I was watching Princess Tutu all day, so that's the one I'm fangirling most right now. Though all of these are favorites.
And the fandom one!
List 5 of your fandoms:
1. Princess Tutu
2. Skip Beat!
3. Trigun
4. Ouran High School Host Club
5. One Piece
1. Which is your favourite series from your list? And why?
Totally unfair question. If I had to pick one RIGHT NOW I would say Ouran or Tutu.
2. If you were to pair two characters from 1 and 4, who would they be?
Tamaki and Duck would be absolutely adorable. XD However, they would definitely be nonstop insanity.
3. What would you like to change about 3's plotline?
If we're talking anime, fix the ending. =_= And also in the anime, abandon Vash's angst attack after killing Legato. Blaaaaah. The manga, probably just clarity. Every time I get a new volume I have to reread the one before or else I'd have no idea what was happening - and that's not JUST because it takes so long to be released.
4. If both main characters of 2 and 5 were falling off a cliff, which one would you save?
Kyoko. Luffy can most definitely take care of himself. He's made of rubber!
5. Which event was the most horrible for you in 1?
Oh man, I'm not done yet, but...well....in the last episode of Chapter of the Egg. With Fakir. Oh man. T___T
6. Which is your least favorite character of 2?
Probably Sho because he's a jerk, and I swear if he really starts trying to get Kyoko back, I will throttle someone.
7. If the antagonist of 3 were to attack the main character of 1, what would you do?
If Knives attacked Duck?! That....is the most horrible thought I have ever had. She's just an innocent little duck. D': I would probably tackle him and die in the process. She could change into Princess Tutu, but her main defense is getting the person to dance with her and reveal their feelings. Which....would actually be....really awesome for her to do that with Knives.
8. What song reminds you of 5?
"Captain Hampton vs. the Midget Pirates," by the Aquabats. I saw a One Piece AMV for that song about two years before I started watching it, and it's still what runs through my head when I think of it.
9. Of 1, 3, and 5, which is the easiest to think about?
One Piece! Trigun is so complicated and confusing. I'm not done with Princess Tutu, so I'm fretting about how it will all end up. One Piece has a lot of stuff happening and plenty of drama, but really, things turn out all right in the end.
10. Are the protagonists of 2 and 4 similar?
Hmm, Kyoko and Haruhi? Um... kind of? No actually, not really. Kyoko still believe in fairies and Haruhi is so down-to-earth. So no.
