Name six ships you like:
1) Atobe/Tezuka
2) Sanada/Yukimura
3) Kajimoto/Wakato
4) Shishido/Choutarou
5) Niou/Yagyuu
6) Oshitari/Gakuto
Three ships you didn't like at first, but do now:
7) Ryoma/Sakuno
8) Choutarou/Hiyoshi
9) Yanagi/Kirihara
Three ships you've never shipped:
10) Marui/Kirihara
11) Atobe/Kamio
12) Atobe/Sengoku
Two ships you are curious about but haven't actually started shipping:
13) Shishido/Taki
14) Yukimura/Niou
1.) Why do you dislike #11 so much? (Atobe/Kamio)
It's not so much that I outright dislike it as that I don't get it. What's the appeal? Where did it even come from?
2.) Who is someone you know that ships #13? (Shishido/Taki)
Ahaha. Jen. ;x She's the reason I'm even curious.
3.) What would be your ideal scenario for couple #3? (Kajimoto/Wakato)
I like them as the 'seen you around' couple. Wakato works a cafe, Kajimoto comes by every Tuesday; they speak briefly here and there, and gradually start to fall....
4.) Which is your favorite episode for #1? (Atobe/Tezuka)
Episode 68, The Never-Ending Tiebreak. I cried. ;___;
5.) How long have you been following couple #6? (Oshitari/Gakuto)
Since the pre-Kantou Finals training arc, I think. Something like that. I didn't ship them right off the bat, but it didn't take much.
6.) What's the story with #8? (Choutarou/Hiyoshi) What made you grow to like them?
We used Ohtori/Hiyoshi as an alternate pairing, just for the purpose of AU, and, well... they kind of... they're cute. ;;
7.) Which ship do you prefer - #2 or #4? (Sanada/Yukimura or Shishido/Choutarou)
Oh, that's easy. Sanada/Yukimura all the way, always win Rikkaidai, and so on. ♥
8.) You have the power to make one ship non existent. Choose from #10 or #12. (Marui/Kirihara or Atobe/Sengoku)
Atobe/Sengoku. I don't. get. it. It really, really bugs me, and I can't even explain why.
9.) What interests you about #14? (Yukimura/Niou)
The idea that they understand each other on a fundamental level. I enjoy it, and it brings out the darker, seedier side of Rikkai.
10.) When did you start liking #7? (Ryoma/Sakuno)
A Host Club AU RP. She was the daughter of a yakuza boss; Echizen crossdressed to get away with seeing her, because her father wouldn't let boys around. Once he was found out, they escaped to America together and changed their names. ♥
11.) Did your growing interest in #9 (Yanagi/Kirihara) take away from your interest in other pairings involving those characters?
Maybe in a very small way. I used to ship Yukimura/Kirihara and Inui/Yanagi much more than Yanagi/Kirihara, but now I think they've both taken a backseat. ... Well, maybe. ... No, I lied. ;;
12.) What's a song that reminds you of #5? (Niou/Yagyuu)
Velvet Underground - I'll Be Your Mirror.
13.) Which of all these ships do you love the most?
Sanada/Yukimura. ;; Always win Rikkaidai?
14.) Which do you dislike the most?
Atobe/Sengoku, with Atobe/Kamio at a close second.
15.) If you could have any two of these pairings double date, who would it be?
Sanada/Yukimura and Atobe/Tezuka. Ngh. The elite of the junior high tennis circuit.
16.) Have #2 (Sanada/Yukimura) kissed yet? Elaborate if you'd like.
Not in canon. ;___;
17.) Did #4 (Niou/Yagyuu) have a happy ending? If the show hasn't ended yet, do you think a happy ending is likely?
They... don't usually. ;;
18.) What would make you start shipping #14? (Yukimura/Niou)
A good fic or RP. ♥
19.) If only one could happen, which would you prefer - #2 or #6? (Sanada/Yukimura or Oshitari/Gakuto)
I repeat: Sanada/Yukimura. Always win, Rikkaidai.
20.) You have the power to decide the fate of #10 (Marui/Kirihara). What happens to them?
They date briefly, then break up when Akaya realises that it was just a crush, much like his probable feelings for Yukimura/Sanada/Yanagi. He chases the Troika's heels until they graduate high school, then slowly falls out of touch with Sanada and Yukimura in turn. He and Yanagi drift even more gradually, until a chance encounter later on, which gets them back in contact, and they eventually move in together.
Marui goes on to realise that his bisexuality in junior high was pure experimentation, and winds up steadily seeing an adorable, sweet little thing late in high school. A few years after graduation, he asks her to marry him, and she gives him adorable, sweet roly-poly babies and helps him run his bakery. ♥
