THE YOU-SO-ODDLY-RESEMBLE-THIS-CHARACTER-THAT-I-SWEAR-MY-FANDOM-IS-REAL MEME.
It goes without saying at one point or another we have suddenly observed that a person on our friends list oddly behaves, speaks, and acts like a character from a fandom in which we participate. It dawns on us that they are, for want of a better word, a near replica of that very character and we never lose that idea of them, as that certain person. So, if you've hesitated to admit to someone that you've regarded them as a particular character, out of the fear of looking like a lifeless loser who rarely escapes from the house, here's your opporunity to finally acknowledge it.
My thread, so hit me.
By the way, I finished the fandom characters and pairings memes from here.
And another one, taken from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
haro:
Name six ships you like:
01. Clow/Yuuko [CLAMP]
02. Touya/Yukito (any incarnation of) [CLAMP]
03. Ling/Lan Fan [FMA]
04. Kohza/Vivi [OP]
05. Howl/Sophie [Howl's Moving Castle]
06. Ayame/Mine [Furuba]
Three ships you used to like, but don't anymore:
07. Harry/Ginny [HP]
08. Kurogane/Fay [TRC]
09. Link/Zelda (any incarnation of) [Zelda]
Three ships in your various fandoms that you don't ship:
10. Doumeki/Watanuki [CLAMP]
11. Roy/Ed [FMA]
12. Eriol/Tomoyo [CLAMP]
Two ships you are curious about but haven't actually started shipping:
13. Waka (Ushiwaka)/Amaterasu [Okami]
14. Hiro/Ando [Heroes]
1.) Why do you dislike #11 so much? (Roy/Ed)
It's not just that I like them with particular young women. It's that most of the fans are extremely idiotic "lol seme uke squee yaoi kawaii!!!" fanbrats. Besides, I like their canonical dynamics better than anything romantic/sexual.
2.) Who is someone you know that ships #13? (Waka/Ammy)
None, because I don't have friends that much into Okami.
3.) What would be your ideal scenario for couple #3 (Ling/Lan Fan)
Ummmmm... in canon or fandom? In canon, what I want to see is (highlight) Lan Fan being able to get a Ling reaction from Greedling for more than the usual two seconds, probably even triggering something deeper in the symbiosis issue, which isn't really a romantic situation but cool interaction between the characters. I'm not really expecting the ship to be canon in any way, nor Lan Fan pondering on how she has a crush on Ling like Winry.
4.) Which is your favorite episode for #1? Try to pick just one. (Clow/Yuuko)
LMAO! What chapter? XDDDDDD
All the canon interaction is in the Soel to Larg book, and from the ones translated I like the one in which there's the "telephone" call (with Clow and Yuuko snarking at each other between the Mokonas, and Yuuko getting all worked up while Clow probably was confusingly amused). I also like the ending of the Mokonas' trip to see the sunset, because it's sweet.
5.) How long have you been following couple #6? (Ayame/Mine)
From their first moment in canon. I thought, ever since Mine was introduced, that she had a crush on her boss. But Ayame is so out there I thought he probably was gayer than a tree full of monkeys in nitrous acid or whatever the quote was, and it was one-sided. I was SO GLAD and revindicated when Takaya said they were secretly an item! :D And they had such a nice happy ending, too. I do think Ayame is bi, though.
6.) What's the story with #8? What made you stop liking them/caring? (KuroFay)
*facepalm* Oh dear. Well... to make it short, Infinity in general.
7.) Which ship do you prefer - #2 or #4? (Touya/Yukito or Kohza/Vivi)
Oh ho! Since it's a fact Alabasta >>>>>> Clow country, then princess childhood friendship from Alabasta >>>>> prince/king childhood friendship from Clow. So in terms of TRC, Kohza/Vivi wins leik woah. In terms of CCS... well, they're different kind of things, so it depends of the day.
8.) You have the power to make one ship non existent. Choose from #10 or #12. (DouWata or Eriol/Tomoyo)
Bitches, obviously E/T. 95% of their fandom is dreadful.Of course, assuming we're talking about fanon, because E/T IS non-existent already in canon :DDDDD
9.) What interests you about #14? (Hiro/Ando)
They're really good friends despite of their differences, complement each other's points of views on life, and they're in a point in the canon they do need each other to move on to next, worst things. (Which of course, means the screenwriters might kill Ando to trigger Hiro further, but after Charlie that would be so mean.)
10.) When did you stop liking #7? (H/G)
When JKR started writing them. It was badly handled in HBP, so I lost the interest a lot.
11.) Did your waning interest in #9 kill your interest in the show? (Link/Zelda)
Nope, I still play the games.
12.) What's a song that reminds you of #5? (Howl/Sophie)
"Grace Kelly" by Mika XD In Spanish, there's this song called "Limón y sal" by Julieta Venegas that sounds so Sophie to me.
13.) Which of these ships do you love the most?
It really depends of the day.
14.) Which do you dislike the most?
Eriol/Tomoyo.
15.) If you could have any of these two pairings double date, who would it be? (even better if they're from different shows)
Clow/Yuuko and Howl/Sophie XDDD I'm actually thinking of writing a Clow/Yuuko piece in which they go touring the Okami world, but since my bunnies are post-game they wouldn't be able to interact with Amaterasu or Waka. (Although I do have a bunny with Yuuko and Waka/Ammy, but then CLOW is the one who's not around)
16.) Have #2 kissed yet? Elaborate if you'd like. (Touya/Yukito)
Men kissing? In CLAMP? AHAHAHAHA. No, they never kissed each other, but they touch a lot.
17.) Did #4 have a happy ending? If the show hasn't ended yet, do you think a happy ending is likely? (Kohza/Vivi)
The arc did have its happy (or as happy as it could've been) ending, although it wasn't explicitly shippy (I keep saying this has secret subtext, because suddenly she and her court are chilling at his uncle's hot springs when he's in them, though). I'm sure the manga will end without making this pairing canon, because they're minor characters, but you never know with these shounen mangas.
18.) What would make you start shipping #14? (Hiro/Ando)
Um, doesn't it say it's stuff I DON'T REALLY SHIP YET? Please make up your mind thx.
19.) If only one could happen, which would you prefer - #2 or #6? (Touya/Yukito or Ayame/Mine)
Ahem, they both happened and I called them from almost the beginning, bitches! So I win! XD
20.) You have the power to decide the fate of #10. What happens to them? (Doumeki/Watanuki)
.........Shit. This might bring defriendings.
If it was for me, I, um...
well...
...
They either don't happen explicitly, like Kentarou/Takeshi from Dukylon, or they add Himawari and start a threesome Magic Knight Rayeath style >DDDDD
But that's because I'm mean and I want to see heads go 'splodey in the fandom, LOL. It's not like less direct canon confirmation erases their history or something, or that's how I see it. Or maybe it's like because the charm of this series for me is about the supernatural mixing with the mundane, and not if Doume-sama-seme buttsexes Wata-kawaii-uke until the lube runs out or whatever.
[ETA]: Added this, because it's pretty cool:

I was sure Ayame was gay but I guess this is when they say don't judge by appearance. Hey at one point I thought Haru was gay too with what he said about Yuki but then Rin came along. Of course bisexual is always an option. But now I think Takaya just enjoyed drawing bishounen.
no subject
I totally think Ayame and Haru are bi. It's just that they ended up falling for a girl they grew attached to, and now they're currently Rin-sexual and Mine-sexual. I doubt it would've mattered to them if Rin or Mine were guys or not, because they're two of the most open-minded, liberal guys from the zodiac. Then again, in one of my main fandoms there are bisexual characters, so perhaps that makes me give people the benefit of the doubt in shoujo.
no subject
Though I am actually surprised in some ways that one of the characters in Furuba didn't end up with someone of the same gender but well it doesn't really matter.
no subject
Offtopic but in the same lines: An evil part of me hopes Ritsu keeps wearing kimonos most of the times, and Micchan still won't care (that much), because the way Akito tried so hard to become girly at the end for Shigure kinda annoyed me and threw me off that pairing for good. It's like everyone stopped crossdressing at a point, and it's one of the few mangas in which I never minded it.
