Everything up in pairs

[kucheekybadkuya]

I am crazy in love with Nodame Cantabile. The anime was already by far my current favourite, then I started watching the live action, which kicks the anime version's ass. So dear flist, if you like shoujo and haven't tried Nodame, you can download the raws via torrents at d-addicts and get the soft subs from here. Ash if you're reading this I

Name six ships you like:
1. Rukia x Renji (Bleach)
2. Saya x Solomon (Blood+)
3. Renji x Byakuya (Bleach)
4. Sakura x Kakashi (Naruto)
5. Yoru x SoiFong (Bleach)
6. Yoko x Kamina (Gurren Lagann)

Three ships you used to like, but don't like anymore:
7. Saya x Haji (B+)
8. Urahara x Yoruichi (Bleach)
9. Domon x Allenby (G Gundam)

Three ships in your various fandoms you don't ship:
10. Ichigo x Rukia (Bleach)
11. Simon x Yoko (Gurren Lagann)
12. Haruhi x Anyone (Suzumiya)

Two ships you are curious about but haven't actually started shipping:
13. Clare x Jean (Claymore)
14. Simon x Nia (GL)

1. Why do you dislike #11 so much?
Because I don't care how old Yoko is supposed to be, she's clearly old enough to drink, if not rent a car. And I don't care how old Simon is supposed to be, he's obviously prepubescent. No, seriously Japan, I don't care. You people are idiots.
And that makes the pairing shota, which like all fucked up fetishes, is perfectly fine in acrylic on cellophane. But it's not my cup of tea.

2. Who is someone you know that ships #13?
Tom @ moridin_ methinks.

3. What would be your ideal scenario for couple #3?
Massively destructive re-bankai duel degenerates into a pitiful fistfight with true feelings and confessions shouted out (I fucked your sister, etc.) including mutual true feelings, with Byakuya deciding to "lose" and letting Renji carry him back to the Kuchiki villa where the lemonade commences.

4. What is your favorite episode for #1? Try to pick just one.
Hahahaha. Episode whatever with the flashback to Shinigami beginnings for Renji and Rukia, of course. During the Ichigo fight.

5. How long have you been following couple #6?
Since episode 1 of GL. @o@

6. What's the story with #8? What made you stop liking them/caring?
Urahara was trying too hard to be cool when, in fact, he's an dorky lab-type asshole who likes to do things like foist broken gigai with massively dangerous objects in them on unsuspecting supercute shinigami out on their luck. Yoru doesn't want that. She just uses him for free rent.

7. Which ship do you prefer--#2 or #4?
SayaSolomon, just because both Sakura and Kakashi work just fine by themselves, while Solomon is kinda lost without Saya.

8. You have the power to make one ship nonexistent. Choose from #10 or #12.
TEN. Haruhi can rape whoever she wants. Ichigo should just die.

9. What interests you about #14?
Nia isn't Yoko and is almost as annoying as Simon. Also, she has a (soft-spoken) Kamina complex, and it'd be interesting to see Simon have a Aneki.

10. When did you stop liking #7?
When Haji went ahead and promised he'd kill Saya.

11. Did your waning interest in #9 kill your interest in the show?
AHAHA no. It got replaced by #1 most awesome pairing ever, which is completely canon and supported by 99.998% of the fandom, which made it not really worth mentioning.

12. What's a song that reminds you of #5?
Off the limited top of my head, Chris Cornell's Can't Change Me or Utada's Hikaru's Addicted to You.

13. Which of these ships do you love the most?
Toss-up between RukiRenji, SayaSolo, and KamiYoko.

14. Which do you dislike the most?
You know, I'm not too big on dislike. I'm very unfond of Rukia x Ichigo, but I can also understand where it comes from. SimonYoko I suppose?

15. If you could have any of these two pairings double-date, who would it be?
RenjiByakuya and YoruSoifong. The after-dinner possibilities are almost endless.

16. Have #2 kissed yet? Elaborate if you'd like.
Um... you know, I'm not sure? If they have, Solomon stole it. He came on a little creepy strong, so they never had the chance for a real one before a rather jealous Haji tried to airstrike Solomon, who quite rightfully (considering Solomon just saved Saya from certain death while Haji failed... again) threw Haji off the 70th floor.

17. Did #4 have a happy ending? If the show hasn't ended yet, do you think a happy ending is likely?
No way lol. But there's always Paris fantasies.

[dystopianday]

Character limit? Fail. I didn't know LJ had one.

18. What would make you start shipping #14? (
If Nia grew less naive (eliminating a little of the moe she displays when not in Kamina mode) and Simon reached puberty (which seems likely to happen.)

19. If only one could happen, which would you prefer--#2 or #6?
Unfortunately #6 is rather out of the question now, so it's a given. T__T

20. You have the power to decide the fate of #10. What happens to them?Friends forever, Rukia goes back to SS to be with #3 and #3.

Rukia is like the most enviable female in the Bleachverse. She has all these ridiculously hot men who like, love and care for her. And what does she do? Yells at two of them and goes all blushy schoolgirl at the other one which makes it clear which one she loves the most.

[dystopianday]

I think it's pretty clear who Kubo's favorite character is. Like Kishi and Sasuke, Rukia gets all the breaks, including being the only female character honestly worth something in a fight, and having arguably the three most attractive males in Bleach fantard her.
(Yeah, Orihime has the power of god. That's why she just rejected the locked door to her room and got out herself... oh wait.)

I honestly hope that Kubo leaves all the pairing ish completely up in the air when Bleach ends - no wangst (except from those expecting resolution on that front) and no embarrassed fantards who just had their fictional life ripped out from under them. This is because I love all Bleachtards and I don't wish death upon any of their ships, even the retarded ones.
On the other hand I really want to see some Naruto fandom people suffer

Failing that, I hope Rukia runs Ichigo over with a volkswagon. :>

Any headaches recently? Need someone to message you occasionally to keep you awake and studying? Something like that?

[kucheekybadkuya]

I find Bleach fans more agreeable as well, maybe it's having modded NA to the point of being completely turned off Naruto discussion or maybe the fandom does have more retarded people =_= Bleach characters are so awesome and wonderfully shippable I wouldn't even be that horrified if say, Hime does get Ichigo because somehow KT will make it work. Speaking of Hime, as tedious as some of the fights are, the current arc is utterly winning in terms of developing her and Rukia. The SS arc left me pretty indifferent towards Hime but I'm liking her more and more with current developments, good job KT!

Sucks for you that a character you detest so much is in a mangaverse where even if he literally dies, he'll just carry on when he reemerges in Soul Society anyway XD

I've had a good no-headache run for a while, and there isn't much to study this semester fortunately ^w^
