I could keep your number for a rainy day
Mm, pairing meme. Beware keyboard smashing and GAY.
SIX PAIRINGS I LIKE:
1. Sora/Riku (Kingdom Hearts)
2. Crowley/Aziraphale (Good Omens)
3. Watanuki Kimihiro/Doumeki Shizuka (xxxHOLiC)
4. Miroku/Sango (Inuyasha)
5. Seifer/Hayner (Kingdom Hearts II)
6. Polly/Maladict(a) (Discworld)
THREE SHIPS I'VE ABANDONED:
7. Wolfram/Yuuri (Kyou Kara Maou)
8. Krad/Dark (D.N.Angel)
9. Tsuzuki/Hisoka (YnM)
THREE SHIPS I'VE NEVER LIKED:
10. Ichigo/Renji (Bleach)
11. Hikaru (or Kaoru)/Haruhi
12. Muraki/Tsuzuki (YnM)
TWO SHIPS THAT HAVE PIQUED MY INTEREST:
13. Kon/Tokidoki (Amatsuki)
14. Hijikata/Okita (GinTama)
QUESTIONS:
1. Why do you dislike #11 so much?
...It's a war between GIRL, GTFO OF MY BOISEX and HARUHI IS ASEXUAL. I adore Haruhi, I really do, she's awesome, and amazing, but I really don't pair her much...hm, Benibara/Haruhi might be interesting...also, Hikaru/Kaoru is so much love, WITHOUT HARUHI.
2. Who do you know that ships #13?
A bunch of people on amatsuki_manga and Toki-mun and Kon-mun on RY (I think).
3. What would be your ideal scenario for couple #3?
LIVING HAPPILY EVER AFTER WITHOUT DYING. And maybe not happily all the time. They just wouldn't be the same without their snarky flirting. I want them to have a happy Clamp ending. Which basically means with them living and knowing they're important to each other, probably without actually saying it.
4. What is your favorite moment for #1?
The entire end of KHII, about when Riku showed up in The World that Never Was, which I won't say too much on, since I don't want to spoil anything for anyone. But sgaldkgfdkj from then on it's amazing. They're so BFF and <3 and kfhghkl (Kairi is such a shipper).
5. How long have you been following couple #6?
...Like a month or two. Since I actually cracked down and read Monstrous Regiment I've shipped them. (I'll admit I was slightly biased, thanks to a certain someone, but still, all of their subtext-y scenes are so amazing and fantastic and sdjfdjkdl HOT and even if they were het, I would ship it).
6. What's the story with #8? What made you stop caring?
They kind of stagnated and D.N.Angel has been on hiatus for several years now and the mortal enemy love-hate thing is not pushing any of my buttons.
7. Which ship do you prefer--#2 or #4?
Crowley/Aziraphale, by far. Good Omens is far superior to Inuyasha and while Miroku/Sango is sweet, the Inuyasha fandom is really scary and for the most part the GO fandom is amazing. Most of the fics I've read for Crowley/Aziraphale are amazing and the majority of the few Miroku/Sango fics I've read were actually quite terrible (with the exception of that really long, really sweet, epic one I never finished).
8. You have the power to make one ship non-existent. Choose from #10 or #12.
(#12) MURAKI/TSUZUKI, because it's not that I despise Renji/Ichigo, so much as I ship them harder in other pairings (see Ichigo/Ishida, Byakuya/Renji, & Renji/Izuru). Muraki/Tsuzuki I actually detest. I just, D< it pisses me off. I much prefer love built on friendship than creepy rapist stalker love.
9. What interests you about #14?
They wouldn't be all happy fluffy kittens and joy, but not horribly tragic. They're so fucking funny. I love Okita and his freakish morals. The two of them are actually very similar, but have their differences. GinTama is pure love.
10. When did you stop liking #7?
...I just stopped watching KKM. I still would love them immensely if I actually watched it again, but I keep forgetting to. They were so sweet and vaguely 104-ish, but in a different way.
11. Did your waning interest in #9 kill your interest in the series?
I'll quote iambickilometer on this, because I'm of the same opinion:
'It was more like my waning interest in the series killed my interest'. Because it did. (although Tsuzuki's lame uke-emo also didn't help). If YnM ever continued again I'd probably return to shipping them...if they developed a bit better.
12. What's a song that reminds you of #5?
'I Hate Everything About You'.
13. Which of these ships do you love the most right now?
104. IT CONSUMES MY LIFE. OH JEEZ.
14. Which do you dislike the most?
Muraki/Tsuzuki, by far. *shudder*
15. If you could have any of these pairings double date, who would they be?
Sora and Riku and Watanuki and Doumeki. There are no other words. Except maybe, 'Get a fucking CLUE, Watanuki'.
16. Have #2 kissed yet? Elaborate if yes.
Dammit, no. Actually, they probably did, right before the drunken 'bird and the mountain' discussion, but that's all speculation.
17. Did #4 have a happy ending? Do you think one is likely?
I have no idea, honestly. I never bothered to finish the series. But I assume they killed Naraku in the end, so they probably did get a happy ending. I hope. I think so. I read a summary of the last episode just now and they both lived through that at least.
18. What would make you start shipping #14?
Reading more of GinTama and reading fics for the pairing, which i might go do now...
19. If only one could happen, which would you prefer--#2 or #6?
...6 is pretty much canon, in the best kind of way, as is 2. They have nearly the same vibe. How the hell can I choose?
20. You have the power to decide the fate of #10. What happens to them?
They become drinking buddies, but never, ever sleep together, because Ichigo's faithful to Ishida and Renji's soft on Izuru and wouldn't do that to him. (Knowing Izuru, he might even blame himself. jkgfjkfg)
