Right round, right round, when you go down-
Senior year is tougher than I thought. The increase of difficulty in subjects combined with the gung-ho attitude all students seem to have to get into their dream uni (which means I have to work harder- the competition! damn.) make me a very not-happy-person. There are just so much things to study!
... and Ramadan is coming, for which I should really be glad for, because Ramadan = holidays, but it just makes me paranoid with all the work that's going to pile up while I'm off vacationing somewhere. AAAARRGGHH.
I need me some fandom-ish stuff. MEME! (ganked from people in my flist, if I'm not wrong, misora )
Six ships you're into right now.
01. Dan/Blair (Gossip Girl)
02. Michelle/Tony (Skins)
03. Tony/Pepper (Iron Man)
04. Euphemia/Suzaku (Code Geass)
05. Carl/Ellie (Up)
06. Zuko/Katara (A:TLA)
Three ships you liked, but don't anymore.
07. Sasuke/Sakura (Naruto)
08. Bond/Vesper (Casino Royale movie-verse)
09. Chuck/Blair (Gossip Girl)
Three ships you never liked.
10. Allen/Hitomi (Escaflowne)
11. Aang/Katara (A:TLA)
12. Ichigo/Orihime (Bleach)
Two ships you're curious about, but don't actually ship.
13. Jet/Ty Lee (A:TLA)
14. Lelouch/Suzaku (Code Geass)
Why do you dislike #11 so much? → Aang/Katara
The age differences. No, 'Aang is 14' is not an argument. It's just so blatant on screen, and combined with Katara's mothering role with Aang- I can't never really get past that. That's the only problem, seriously. As bad as their development was, I can believe it- but throw in a shot of them making-out and I just go 'Ew.' It's such a big problem that prevents me from shipping them- I CAN'T EVEN WATCH THEIR FINALE KISS. Ew. Do not want, please.
Who is someone you know that ships #14? → Lelouch/Suzaku
Nope. Not yet.
What would be your ideal scenario for couple #3? → Tony/Pepper
My mind thinks that it will be fun to stick them in a pizzeria. Tony will definitely flirt with Pepper using ridiculous Portmanteau Shipping Names and a barrage of double-entendres, Pepper will roll her eyes before owning him with smart, snarky comeback (while being secretly amused with the whole exchange), and the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents they're supposed to be having a meeting with will wait exasperatedly before Nick Fury crash on the date. The possibility of Pepperoni pizzas being ordered is well, high. That depends on Pepper's mood that day.
Which is your favorite moment for couple #1? → Dan/Blair
THE NEW TRAILER OH MY GOD HEADBAAAND The stairwell conversation in Bad News Blair. It's always nice seeing my ships bond over mommy issues. *cough* But I love all their interactions. They have this awesome lines when around each other, y'know- it's snarky and fun but not too sexually blatant.
How long have you been following couple #6? → Zuko/Katara
2007? I dunno. It's been a long, lively time.
What's the story with #8? What made you stop liking them/caring? → Bond/Vesper
Because I had high hopes with them at first, with the premise and the exchange and everything- and the ship just turns too predictable after the shower scene. Of course Vesper wouldn't survive. Of course they won't end happily ever after. I more or less got bored after that, and ditched the couple after Quantum of Solace. It's time to move on.
You have the power to make one ship non-existent. Choose from #10 or #12 → Allen/Hitomi or Ichigo/Orihime
Allen/Hitomi. Just, thank God it didn't actually happened.
Which ship do you prefer, #2 or #4? → Michelle/Tony, or Euphemia/Suzaku
Since Code Geass is the show I saw very recently, I'm going with Euphemia/Suzaku. The ship still left me in tears with all that naiveness and hope and issues and the ending (of course), and Michelle/Tony (Skins in general) hasn't quite affected me like that.
What interests you about #14? → Suzaku/Lelouch
At first, I was merely interested in them visually- with all the HoYay art and CLAMP designs? Yeah, that. And then I watched the show.
Okay. So my interest on them is all over the place- the angst, the potential, the underlining subtext, the duality they represents. Everything. I haven't really dabbled in any slash pairing, but damn, I love watching them. Suzaku's and Lelouch's relationship with each other is different than normal hero/rival dynamics- they're best friends who actually cared about each other, and Code Geass' first season was really fun to watch, with them being enemies on the frontlines (for a while, anonymously too) and being friends in school. And then the 'LIVE!' Geass happened, and then Euphie, and.. Lelouch's unmasking by Suzaku breaks my heart. And of course, R2. The only thing keeping me from shipping them is that I'm still torn between dismissing everything as these two being absurdly awesome BFFs, or embracing the subtext entirely.
Why did you stop liking #7? → Sasuke/Sakura
When I start noticing the large amount of badfics in the fandom, which in turn cause me to read Naruto to remember why I liked them in the first place, which made me realize that Sasuke as a character is not very interesting to the point that I want to bang my head against blunt objects when the chapters endlessly focused on him, which finally, made me think that Sakura? She deserves better.
Did your waning interest in #9 kill your interest in the show? → Blair/Chuck
Since the show basically revolves around them like earth to the sun right now, Yes. I'm on the verge of breaking up. The fact that I used to love them so much didn't help. Season Three, Gossip Girl. It's the last chance I'm giving to you.
What’s a song that reminds you of #5? → Carl/Ellie
Their theme song, of course!
If you could have any of these two pairings double-date, who would it be?
Jet/Ty Lee and Zuko/Katara, just for the heck of it. Jet will so ask them for a foursome. Ty Lee will probably share some bendy tips that are very helpful. Zuko and Katara's faces will be worth bringing these two pairs together.
Have #2 kissed yet? → Michelle/Tony
Plenty of times.
Did #4 have a happy ending? If the show hasn't ended yet, do you think a happy ending is likely? → Euphemia/Suzaku
Their ending was as far from happiness as I can imagine. But I think that's what draws me to the ship, despite being the couple that I should despise with the goody-goodiness and everything, they ended as tragic as a ship possibly could. Idealism lost, the balance shattered- what starts out as the classic, boring White Princess/White Knight with their change-the-world-with-goodness ways, ended as The White Reaper and The Massacre Princess. And if you actually watch the episode, it's a thousand times worse than that.
What would make you start shipping #13? → Ty Lee/Jet
When I can convince myself that shipping Ty Lee/Jet, Jet/Mai, and Mai/Ty Lee is perfectly fine. Also, more fic will be nice.
If only one could happen, which would you prefer, #2 or #6? → Tony/Michelle or Zuko/Katara
Zuko/Katara; no contest.
You have the power to decide the fate of #10. What happens to them? → Allen/Hitomi
The creators of Escaflowne already did everything I want most to the couple; to answer this will be like beating a dead horse.
Which of these ships do you love the most?
Zuko/Katara. Code Geass couples are creeping up with surprsising speed, though.
Now, to post that reminder on atladicontest ...
