Randomness first:
I was wandering around the Penny Arcade forums this afternoon, looking for a sweet new wallpaper for my monitor @ work and I randomly ran across this...
I am not necessarily the biggest Ken-chan fan in the world, but Colonel Sanders/Zaraki just make me LOL out loud. And then I had to try and explain why it was funny to my non-Bleachtard coworkers who were left with a very distinct feeling of 'Oh'. Don't you love it when people look at you weird?
Anyways, I didn't set this as my BG (I found an awesome view of earth from space that'll do for now) but I thought I'd share for grins.
Now meme! Snagged from I don't remember (sorry!) but it's another one of those where you have to list stuff before you look at the questions first.
SIX PAIRINGS I LIKE:
1. Neji/Sakura (Naruto)
2. Ulqui/Hime (Bleach)
3. Alucard/Seras (Hellsing)
4. Ichi/Rukia (Bleach)
5. Zuko/Katara (Avatar)
6. Kakashi/Sakura (Naruto)
THREE SHIPS I'VE ABANDONED:
7. Mulder/Skinner (X-Files)
8. Naru/Saku (Naruto)
9. Sasuke/Anybody (Naruto)
THREE SHIPS I'VE NEVER LIKED:
10. Ita/Sasu (Naruto)
11. Mulder/Skully (X-Files)
12. Neji/Hina (Naruto)
TWO SHIPS THAT HAVE PIQUED MY INTEREST:
13. Hei/Yin (Darker Than Black)
14. Sui/Ka (Naruto)
1. Why do you dislike #11 so much?
Because Mulder is a bigger bitch than Skully ever was and she deserves a real man. Seriously, Chris Carter was trying desperately to channel some UST (a la Moonlighting) but it got stale and boring when Mulder kept getting distracted by aliens and multitudes of other men.
2. Who do you know that ships #13?
celticoak probably. It's her fault I started watching DTB in the first place!! X3 Thanks hon!
3. What would be your ideal scenario for couple #3?
A coffin? Sharing blood on a moonlit balcony? Perhaps some large caliber weaponry and a few dead Nazi's or two...
4. What is your favorite moment for #1?
Sadly, my darling Neji has not put the moves on her during the series as yet (we can hope, people!). So, this pairing is as far from canon as they can get while still being plausible - unlike Kisame/Sakura or Zetsu/Sakura, WTF?
5. How long have you been following couple #6?
Since I started watching. No - I'm not pedo or anything!!! It was always older Sakura in my imagination, like in her early 20's when she figures out she needs a real man.
6. What's the story with #8? What made you stop caring?
Two words: HORRIBLE FANFICTION.
7. Which ship do you prefer--#2 or #4?
Oh, #2 trufax. Ulquiorra and Orihime are WAY more interesting than Ichi and Rukia. I just like Ichi/Rukia because I think they'd be fun to watch argue all the time.
8. You have the power to make one ship non-existent. Choose from #10 or #12.
Oh no. Can't choose....OK - Ita/Sasu simply because it's incest and underage yaoi. Bleargh.
9. What interests you about #14?
Hot post-argument nookie. You know it gonna happen.
10. When did you stop liking #7?
I stopped watching X-Files. I liked this pairing because is had some interesting 'canon' dom/sub interaction and they were really fun to write/read. The series got boring, I quit watching, and just moved on from the fandom.
11. Did your waning interest in #9 kill your interest in the series?
Oh hell no. I just dislike Sasuke, that's all.
12. What's a song that reminds you of #5?
Never really thought about it...maybe the romantic theme, "A Time for Us", from Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet?
13. Which of these ships do you love the most right now?
Neji/Sakura followed closely by Ulqui/Hime.
14. Which do you dislike the most?
I am tied between Ita/Sasu and Neji/Hina. Incest is wrong, end of story.
15. If you could have any of these pairings double date, who would they be?
Neji/Sakura and Sasu/Anybody - simply because it would piss of little Sasu-chan to know his formerly weak teammate is happy and strong without him.
16. Have #2 kissed yet? Elaborate if yes.
No, but she bitch slapped him, so that's pretty epic!
17. Did #4 have a happy ending? Do you think one is likely?
Is Ichigo capable of happy? I think they'll try...but happiness will be elusive since she's an ice queen and he has perma-scowl.
18. What would make you start shipping #14?
More of well written fanfiction. I need to see a better reason for them getting together than 'they got drunk'.
19. If only one could happen, which would you prefer--#2 or #6?
#2, absolutely. I want to see her defrost the Quatro Espada. Preferably with force.
20. You have the power to decide the fate of #10. What happens to them?
KILL THEM BOTH!! Well, maybe not Itachi, since he's actually interesting and not whiny.
