Song meme ♪

[makeste]

I can never get enough of these things. XD

Yanked from sandrock:

The Rules: List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they’re not any good, but they must be songs you’re really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your LiveJournal/blog along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they’re listening to.

1. Peter Gabriel - Down to Earth (I've been in love with this song ever since I saw WALL-E.)
2. Coldplay - Cemeteries of London (This is probably my favorite off the new album right now.)
3. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Knock Me Down (I blame Guitar Hero: On Tour for this.)
4. Third Eye Blind - 1000 Julys (BECAUSE IT'S FUCKING JULY and that means it must be on my playlist.)
5. Radiohead - 15 Step (I love listening to this when I drive; kickass beat.)
6. Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová - Falling Slowly (♥)
7. Muse - Starlight (SO UPBEAT; exactly the kind of song I love to listen to in the summer.)

And another meme, from o_melody_nelson!

Pick a fandom (or two) and I'll tell you:

1. The first character I fell in love with.
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now.
3. The character everyone else loves that I don't.
4. The character I love that everyone else hates.
5. The character I used to love but don't any longer.
6. The character I would shag anytime.
7. The character I'd want to be like.
8. The character I'd slap.
9. A pairing that I love.
10. A pairing that I hate

Any fandom listed here gets the go-ahead! GIVE ME SOMETHING TO RANT ABOUT? 8D

Cool songs :D Starlight! I made me feel kinda sad...in a good way. LOL, I analyzed it for English class once.

Fandom: Katekyo Hotman Reporn!

[makeste.livejournal.com]

It is a very good song. <3

REPORNZ IT IS :D

1. The first character I fell in love with.
Reborn. INFANT MAFIA HITMAN. He's the whole reason I picked up the series to begin with; I might never have been interested enough to try it otherwise. XD
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now.
Squalo or Gamma. I don't usually go for villains, but omg those two. Squalo is AWESOME and HILARIOUS, and Gamma turned out to be way, way too much like Gokudera. I caved so easily, lol.
3. The character everyone else loves that I don't.
Probably Mukuro. I like him well enough, but I definitely don't love him. The smiley evil type just never really appeals to me.
4. The character I love that everyone else hates.
Haru or Kyoko. Not so much het in this fandom. :P And I've also seen Kyoko in particular get chewed out for not having a personality, which does have some truth to it, but I still think she's adorable and sweet, and I like her enough to wish she'd get more screentime so that she could develop more as a character. And Haru, well, Haru's just awesome.
5. The character I used to love but don't any longer.
Once I met Gokudera, Reborn ceased to be the reason for my reading the series. XD That's about the closest I can get to an answer for this question, because there aren't any characters I've actually stopped loving. Most of them I love even more. :|
6. The character I would shag anytime.
Yamamoto. |D
7. The character I'd want to be like.
Dino. Such a nice guy and a great leader and he's awesome at everything except when he's not.
8. The character I'd slap.
HALF THE TIME IT'S GOKUDERA EVEN THOUGH I LOVE HIM SOB. But seriously, probably Shamal, just because sometimes he can be so difficult for no damn reason.
9. A pairing that I love.
8059.
10. A pairing that I hate
Can't think of any that I hate, but there are a few that I totally don't get. Reborn/Lambo and Spanner/Tsuna come to mind; just don't really see the appeal. XD

[firecandy89.livejournal.com]

6. The character I would shag anytime.
Yamamoto. |D
xD

And seriously, we don't get enough of het in this fandom. So many yaoi stories that it makes me cry ;____;

[makeste.livejournal.com]

I'd hit that quite happily, and go to jail afterward. XD

And yeah, it can be depressing at times. Why everyone gotta be hatin' on the Reborn girls. :(

[nuclearpez.livejournal.com]

Since Reborn was taken... lol Avatar

[makeste.livejournal.com]

1. The first character I fell in love with.
Sokka. I blame Jack DeSena.
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now.
It did take me a little while to warm up to Zuko. He was an amazing dick at first, and it wasn't until episode 12 (when we found out how he got his scar) that I really gave him another chance. By which I mean, fell immediately in love with him. XD
3. The character everyone else loves that I don't.
Jet. Yes, it's very sad that he died, but he was still an arrogant, self-righteous dick when he first showed up. Which I realize sounds AMAZINGLY HYPOCRITICAL coming from someone who loves Zuko, but there you go. He did redeem himself, I'm just not crazy about him.
4. The character I love that everyone else hates.
I have no idea who gets hate in the Avatar fandom these days. XD I have a feeling Katara might not be so popular, and I do like her. And I still loved Zuko even back when the season 2 finale had just aired and everyone was like, "OH MY GOD YOU RETARD JUST DIE." XD
5. The character I used to love but don't any longer.
I literally can't think of anyone this even slightly applies to.
6. The character I would shag anytime.
You know, right up until I got to this question, I'd have thought it would be Zuko. But hilariously, I think it's actually Sokka. XD
7. The character I'd want to be like.
Iroh. Awesome and zen and way more patient than I could ever hope to be. Plus, apparently he can STILL KICK YOUR ASS even though he's ooooooold.
8. The character I'd slap.
Zuko often is in need of a good slap, though to be honest, there have been times when I've wanted to slap almost everyone in the main cast. But they're kids, they're allowed to make dumb mistakes sometimes.
9. A pairing that I love.
The fandom is so rife with pairing drama I'm almost hesitant to admit it, but I have a weakness for Zuko/Katara.
10. A pairing that I hate
Katara and Jet. (Sorry Jet, silly bias is silly. XD)

[nuclearpez.livejournal.com]

Lol I love your perspective so much haha. (I'm totally a closet ZukoxKatara fan as well but would never admit to it. I avoid the fandom for the crazy shipping wars) Also we totally know Sokka would be a demon in bed ;-P, hell cause he might be clumsy but he'd try his best. Zuko might be too harsh and apathetic lol.

[makeste.livejournal.com]

Same with me for the Zuko/Katara; the shipping insanity is pretty much what kept me out of the fandom too. And yeah, somehow I just have this impression that Sokka would be deceptively awesome in bed. Whereas Zuko, I wouldn't quite trust not to screw it up somehow, even if he DOES know kung fu. XDD

[nuclearpez.livejournal.com]

OH WAIT I TOTALLY GET TWO IF I WANT:

Digibutts =B

[makeste.livejournal.com]

Sob sob I was almost done typing out a long reply to this and then Firefox screwed up and I lost it sob. XDDD But I LOVE YOU FOR PICKING DIGIMON and I'll answer for real later. XD

[makeste.livejournal.com]

OKAY, SECOND ATTEMPT...!

1. The first character I fell in love with.
MATT. True story--way back in the day, I had determined to never watch Digimon because I was convinced it was a stupid show for kids and I was MUCH TOO ELITIST for that nonsense! Then one day, my little cousin came to visit from Florida, and she wanted to watch it on Saturday morning, and since she was the guest we had to oblige. So I ended up watching "The Storm of Friendship" completely against my will, and THERE WAS THIS KID with an angsty backstory that he overcame through the power of friendship!! and then he went to reunite with his cute little brother and save his rival-turned-best-friend and holy shit it was like ALL MY PINGS AT ONCE. I was a lost cause before the episode ended orz.
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now.
Davis. When 02 first started I thought he was kind of dumb and annoying, but I started to warm up to him almost immediately. He's so enthusiastic and happy-go-lucky and generally adorable... I dunno. XD But I adore him now.
3. The character everyone else loves that I don't.
Ken. I mean, I can definitely see the appeal--sweet kid, angsty past, ridiculously adorable partner--but for some reason he just never clicked with me.
4. The character I love that everyone else hates.
I DON'T KNOW WHO THE DIGIMON FANDOM HATES. I plead ignorance. XD
5. The character I used to love but don't any longer.
I loved Takeru in 01, but cooled off on him in 02. I don't know why, really--maybe because he and Davis never got along, and I automatically took Davis's side (especially because the dub seemed to hate him XD). I HAVE NO IDEA, sorry TK. I still like him, just not as much?
6. The character I would shag anytime.
I'll say Yamaki, because the others are all PRE-TEENS and I really don't want to think about that.
7. The character I'd want to be like.
Ruki. She kicks ass; easily one of my favorite female characters ever.
8. The character I'd slap.
Maaaaaybe Sora a little bit. For no real reason. Which is really unusual for me since I hate it when people dislike characters for no rational reason. HYPOCRIIIIIITE sob.
9. A pairing that I love.
TAITO. I think that might have been my first yaoi fandom, actually.
10. A pairing that I hate.
Matt/Sora. Completely 100% out of the blue with no explanation on either character's part (plus, Tai who?). The 02 epilogue is probably the closest I can get to understanding how some HP fans felt as the end of book 7. XD

[nuclearpez.livejournal.com]

lol wheeee. Digimon is one of the series I'm definitely part of the fandom for XD. ahaha why am i so occupied by this meme? =o

[firecandy89.livejournal.com]

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Knock Me Down One of my fav songs :D

Fandom: Bleach?

[makeste.livejournal.com]

You know it's good when it can get stuck in your head for hours (DAYS?) on end and yet you don't mind. |D

OOH, BLEACH, I haven't thought much about that one in a while.

1. The first character I fell in love with.
Ichigo. That happened REALLY quickly. XD
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now.
Keigo. He was just a funny little side character until one day the Arrancar attacked and Yumichika and Ikkaku rescued him and he got to show a side that wasn't comic relief for two seconds, and oh god I fell for him so hard.
3. The character everyone else loves that I don't.
Byakuya, maybe, or Gin. I like them but I'm not crazy about them.
4. The character I love that everyone else hates.
Gotta be one of the girls. Orihime, probably, or Nell. (I don't know if Nell's really hated, but I seem to recall her getting bashed by certain fan groups for a while.) I love them both.
5. The character I used to love but don't any longer.
Renji was one of my favorite characters for a while, but somehow he got overshadowed by some of the others over time. He's still fairly high up there, but I'm not as interested in him these days.
6. The character I would shag anytime.
ZANGETSU IN HUMAN FORM. Holy shit he is hot.
7. The character I'd want to be like.
Part of me wants to see Yoruichi, and part of me wants to say ISSHIN for some reason. Possibly because he's awesome.
8. The character I'd slap.
Ishida. One of my favorite characters, but a pattern among my favorite characters seems to the fact that they're idiots. XD
9. A pairing that I love.
Ichigo/Ishida. I don't do much shipping in this fandom, but that's one of the few pairings I'd probably keep an eye out for.
10. A pairing that I hate
Have to pass on this one because I've really never thought about it. XD

[o-melody-nelson.livejournal.com]

In regards to the meme: House MD.

[makeste.livejournal.com]

HOUSE 8D

1. The first character I fell in love with.
House. Within like, two seconds. :| I DIDN'T EVEN PUT UP A FIGHT it was just like, "...yeah okay you're awesome I am a fan for life."
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now.
Wilson, probably. At first he seemed kind of bland, like he only existed to serve as a foil for House. Which turned out to be COMPLETELY TRUE but he's also a decent character in his own right. And his relationship with House is awesome.
3. The character everyone else loves that I don't.
Actually, from what I've seen of the House fandom there aren't many characters that are consistently loved aside from the man himself. So I can't really think of anyone here, because chances are if fandom loves them, I definitely do as well.
4. The character I love that everyone else hates.
Cuddy. Blah blah blah gratuitous cleavage blah blah blah feminism blah blah giving in to House's every whims, whatever. I STILL LOVE HER, that's just how it is.
5. The character I used to love but don't any longer.
Chase. Actually, I was surprised by how quickly I got over the ducklings all getting fired/quitting at the end of season 3. I thought I'd hate any attempts to introduce a new cast, but I ended up loving the new characters. I still miss the old days every now and then, but by and large I'm good.
6. The character I would shag anytime.
Probably NOT House, so... maybe Thirteen, because holy shit she is hot.
7. The character I'd want to be like.
NONE OF THEM they're all thoroughly fucked up. XD If I had to choose, probably Wilson, I guess.
8. The character I'd slap.
THE PROTAGONIST IS SOMETIMES A DICK, you may have noticed this. :P Though most of the cast could use a good slap from time to time. Lol crazy television characters.
9. A pairing that I love.
Oi. Not really crazy about any of the House pairings (a lot of them have really interesting relationships, but that doesn't necessarily mean romance)... I guess House/Wilson since that seems to be the default.
10. A pairing that I hate.
Chase/Cameron is a ways down there. I get a little annoyed when characters get paired up just because the actors are in a relationship. XD
