Alright, so I found this meme earlier today on LJ and I just HAD to do my own. Alright, so here goes! =D
Choose an animated pairing. It cannot be from a movie, it must be from a show. It does not necessarily have to be a completely cannon pairing, but it should not be a crack-pairing. List the names of the pair and the show.
My pairing: Naruto Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuuga (Naruto)
In general...
- What is it that you like most about the pairing? Be descriptive! :3
It is pure fluff my friend! I just love that Hina-chan is so devoted to him and loves him whole heartedly, even when everyone else hated him. After all those years, she's still in love with him. Also, their personalities are a bit different (Naru-kun is loud, slightly aggressive, hard-headed, and can be annoying XD while Hina-chan is quite, shy, lovable, friendly, smart, soft, and although she seems weak to others, she's very strong and has a kind heart) but that makes it even cuter! I just love them both together. It's hard NOT to love them!
- Why does the pairing make sense to you? I.e., why do you see a relationship working between the two characters?
Well, all his life Naru-kun has strived to become stronger so people will notice him and stop hating him. However, because of that thick-headedness and determination of his, he failed to see that all along there was someone there who already noticed him. Hina-chan has always been watching him from a distance, gaining strength from his own determination and self-motivation. He became her role model for strength and her true love. They help each other become stronger and gain happiness.
- What is the greatest aspect of the pairing?
Hina-chan's constant blushing and fainting whenever Naru-kun is near! XD Hehe. It's so adorable!!! It makes for a good fanfic (many of them actually!! XD).
- Describe the pairing in one word. (Romantic, passionate, dysfunctional, comedic, etc.)
Destined.
- Are there any major (or minor) flaws in this pairing?
Perhaps the cutest concept of this pairing could be considered a flaw since it has kept Hina-chan from confessing. Her shyness is the only thing keeping her from confessing her love to Naru-kun even though she has tried to do so many times already. Another could be the fact that Naru-kun has a demon inside of him - the source of everyone's hatred for him - but because of Hina-chan's devotion and love for him, I highly doubt she would ever abandon him if she found out (I'm not up to date with Shippuuden just yet so I don't know if she has found out about the kyuuby just yet).
In regards to the show...
- What drew you to this show in the first place?
Actually, I stumbled across it on T.V one day when I was watching Rave Master (or some other anime, I can't remember which) and figured "Ninja? That's a stupid idea for an anime". Of course I was gravely mistaken when a couple of weeks later I stumbled across it yet again and fell in love. I slapped myself for thinking poorly of it in the first place. XD
- Were you immediately infatuated with the pairing when you began watching the show/when the two characters entered, or did your affection for it develop over time?
To be honest, nope. When I first saw Hina-chan, I thought, just like Naru-kun, that she was weird. XD I wanted to first support Naru-kun with his infatuation with Sakura but that died quickly. Her constant ignorance of him and aggressivenes towards him annoyed me. When Hina-chan began to get more spotlight during the Chuunin exams, it was then I fell in love with her character. She was just so adorable and full of determination, devotion, and inner strength. I saw her cute side as well and fell in love with the pairing.
- If the latter, as there any particular moment that won you over or convinced you to like the pairing?
The chuunin exams was a time that really sparked my love for the characters. I didn't really begin to fall for the pairing until Hina-chan fought against Neji-san.
- What is your favorite moment within this pairing?
I love when Naru-kun ran into Hina-chan by the waterfall and the next morning, he was bragging to Kiba-kun about a beautiful and mysterious girl dancing, unaware that Hina-chan was that girl. XD It was so funny and cute! And Hina-chan was blushing like crazy! Hehe XP That’s just one of my many favorite moments.
- Do you have a least favorite moment within this pairing?
At the moment, I don’t think I do. XD
- Is one member of this pairing your favorite character within the show?
Both are! Hehe. I love Naru-kun because of how hard he tries and how much he cares. I love Hina-chan for her kind heard and strong spirit. She never fails to make me feel hopeful.
- Is this pairing your OTP within the show?
OF COURSE! =D
- Is the pairing cannon?
Well, it’s still not announced but I truly hope it will be. To me, it IS cannon! >=D
In regards to the fandom...
- Is your affection for the pairing based more in the actuality of the show or in the fandom?
I have to say it is based on both. I love the moments they have in the show, although they aren’t as many as I which there would be, it still has me squealing in my seat, begging for more. The fandom world only increases those squeals and my love for it. =D
- Is this pairing very popular within the fandom?
I think it’s fairly popular! =D I find a lot of bashing for the pairing too though and it makes me sad. It makes me happier, though, when I see someone supporting the shipping. =D It’s CANNON I say! CANNON!
- Does this pairing ever create drama in the fandom?
Nope, not really. There is a love triangle though. Hina-chan likes Naru-kun, Naru-kun likes Sakura, and Sakura likes Sasuke. There’s a slight chance Kiba-kun likes Hina-chan but it hasn’t been confirmed (that I know of). That’s the only drama there is but it’s nothing serious.
- Does the fandom's interpretation of the pairing ever upset you?
Sometimes they make Hina-chan look like a whore >.> That’s the only thing that upsets me. Other than that, nope! ^^
- Have you ever drawn fanart or written fanfiction for this pairing?
I have many ideas for a NaruHina fanfic but haven’t really written one yet. As for fanart, I’m not that great in drawing so I haven’t mustered up the courage to draw some just yet.
- Do you have others' fanart/fanfiction of this pairing saved on your computer?
Not on my computer but on the sites, yes! =D
Last but not least…
- What would you do if both parties of your pairings would fall in love with someone else in the show?
SUE!….Nah, I’d cry. Seriously, I just LOVE this pairing so much. If that were to happen, I’d be so devastated. I can’t picture Naru-kun with anyone else but Hina-chan! Although I think Hina-chan looks cute with Kiba-kun but nothing compares to Naru-kun.
- What would you do if your pairing actually became cannon?
I’d shout, squeal, glomp people like crazy, spin around like an idiot, fall onto my bed, squeal and shout some more, then die of happiness. X3
- What was the craziest idea you ever had for your pairing?
Idk…XD Haha. I was thinking of doing the 100 themes challenges for them but I’m not sure just yet.
- If your pairing should ever become cannon, how would it happen?
Well, not to make it too corny or anything….(trust me, it still will be XD)
Naru-kun will return to Konoha after bringing back Sasuke and stopping Orochimaru, the Akatsuki, and any other enemies of Konoha. He’ll be announced as Hokage and he’ll walk up to Hina-chan in the training grounds and give her his response to her beautiful confession. He’d tell her how happy he was to have someone love him so much after so long of being hated. He’d tell her that all his childhood he thought of her as weird but that’s because he didn’t know why she was so shy around him but now that he knew (this is where he smiles at her, that lopsided toothy grin of his) he wanted nothing more than to hold on to that love. He’ll kiss her before she can say anything else and the rest is history. (Omg I’m just a fluff machine, aren’t I? XD)
- And at last: Describe the chances of your couple in percent.
100%!!!!….Ok I’m not sure really XD To me it’s 100% because that’s how much I love it. After reading her confession, it could be 50% or maybe higher but I’ll say 50% to keep it fair.
Alright, so my OTP (One TRUE Pairing) is Naruhina. That doesn't mean, however that I don't support other pairings. Just to name a few, I also love these pairings: Bleach: Ichigo and Rukia, Fairy Tail: Natsu and Lucy, Rave Master: Haru and Elie, and Lovely Complex: Koizumi and Otani. Those are pairings I love with just as much passion as my OTP but they don't overpower my love for Naruhina! XP Hehe.
