I have two fics I need to finish by Saturday!

I MUST CONTINUE TO PROCRASTINATE.

1. Welcome, [livejournal.com profile] draconianangel! ♥

2. As a general f-list note, I just want to apologize for being even flakier than usual at keeping up with other people's journals lately. I know I don't comment all that often (definitely not as often as I ought to), and I feel guilty. So, yeah... sorry. XD *fail*

3. In case I don't get to say it on the first (because who even knows), Happy Birthday, [livejournal.com profile] tenchi_no_takai! (And [livejournal.com profile] rikasaurus, I'm totally gonna finish that Ryohei drabble soon. IT WILL BE FUN TO WRITE. |D)

4. Meme! Two memes, actually. Both snagged from [livejournal.com profile] part_b:

"Has my portrayal of a character(s) changed the way you think of him/her?"

and:

Give me a fandom and I'll tell you...

OTP:
Runner-up:
Honorable mention(s):
Crack pairing(s):
Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't:


LET'S DO THIS.

[identity profile] part-b.livejournal.com 2009-09-30 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
I'M ASKING KHR FIRST HA.

...for the meme. KHR.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-09-30 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
OTP: 8059.

Runner-up: 5986. IT WAS CLOSE, SO CLOSE.

Honorable mention(s): S80, 10051, 27K.

Crack pairing(s): YAMA/WALL

AND D69. AND KUSAKABE/EVERYONE.

Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't: I don't like 5927 as much as I used to. Or rather, I do, but less as a pairing and more as a friendship. Though I still ship 805927 like whoa.

[identity profile] part-b.livejournal.com 2009-09-30 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
I TOTALLY STARED AT THAT FOR AGES TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHO 86 WAS BEFORE I REALIZED THAT WAS A TYPO. It is a typo, right? I THOUGHT I KNEW THEM ALL sob.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-09-30 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, no, 86 is Haru's number, lol. Sorry, I forgot it's one of the less common numbers. SILLY FANDOM AND ITS SILLY CODES. But yeah, GokuHaru is my second favorite ship. XD

IT IS especially when Xanxus gets up in there because then you HAVE TO SOLVE FOR X. D8

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-09-30 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
I can't decide if that is an example of making math fun, or even more terrifying.

[identity profile] draconianangel.livejournal.com 2009-09-30 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks~ ♥

And you've certainly changed the way I thought of The Wall. LOL.

[identity profile] part-b.livejournal.com 2009-09-30 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
Both, really. It's fun because it's Reborn, but at the end, you've found Xanxus. Fun and terrifying!

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-09-30 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
I'm never gonna be able to solve a math problem without both cracking up and fearing for my life again. XD

Theirs is a violent and tragic love. But so pure.

LOL at all the comments above....

Hmmmm...well I certainly enjoy the realism you bring with your stories. Everything seems so well thought out and believable, that I really have no choice but to enjoy them :D That's what I really look for whenever I read something, if its worth believing then I'm all for it! I also admit that I enjoy 8059 more because of you XD and also your influence has me die hard shipping Wall/Yamamoto.

Hmmm....since KHR was obviously taken. How about Naruto (because I know you used to write about that) or if that's too cliche, Full Metal Alchemist?

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-09-30 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
:DDDD Oh man, if you only knew how happy this comment made me. That's like the number one thing I strive for whenever I write a fic. Believability, that is. (Is that even a word? XD) And it's also the thing I second-guess myself about the most. So yeah, I'm totally making this face--8D--after reading your comment. ♥

AND WALL/YAMA ALL THE WAY, BABY.

Ooh, Naruto. MY I-WILL-ALWAYS-COME-BACK-EVEN-WHEN-YOU-HURT-ME FANDOM. XD

OTP: NaruSasu, hands down.

Runner-up: ...KakaSasu. (Um. Yeah. >_>)

Honorable mention(s): Team 7 OT3, Team Snake/Hawk OT4 (really I just ship them all interchangeably with each other; I love that team), Shikamaru/Temari, Jiraiya/Tsunade (baww), Obito/Kakashi (BAWWW).

Crack pairing(s): Aoba/anyone, my poor dear failjounin. XD And I used to ship Deidara/Tobi as a crack pairing before Tobi turned out to be... uh. Well, you know.

Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't: KakaIru. I just... don't really understand it at all. XD


And I'll do FMA too, since I've never actually considered it before. WHAT DO I SHIP? I don't even know, lol.

OTP: Roy/Hughes, maybe? I did love their relationship.

Runner-up: Hughes/Gracia. ;_;

Honorable mention(s): Roy/Riza, and either Ed/Winry or Al/Winry depending on my mood, because I am horribly indecisive.

Crack pairing(s): HAVOC/FAILURE. Poor Havoc. Also, Armstrong/Everyone.

Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't: I just can't jive with Elricest at all. I mean, it's by far my favorite relationship in the series, juuuuust not in that way.

...Looking back at these answers, I'm thinking I really ought to catch up with FMA again one of these days. Maybe finally check out the new anime. BECAUSE I HAVE A FEELING I SHOULD BE INCLUDING MORE OF THE ANTAGONISTS IN THESE PAIRINGS, but I can hardly remember them at all aside from Envy. Huh.

[identity profile] charpieinuse.livejournal.com 2009-09-30 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
Hahahaha. Your welcome~

That is totally the best way to describe Naruto XD I'll keep coming back to it, not matter how bad it is for me.

Some of your pairings intrigue me. I might have liked NaruSasu if I didn't hate Sasuke so much. I flip-flop between disliking Sakura depending on how useful she is at the moment.

Deidara/Tobi was awesome! until Tobi became moody~

As for FMA, I feel bad for Havoc, he never wins T_T. ARMSTRONG/EVERYONE = MAJOR WIN (and many episodes of the gun show).

Elricest is just wrong....

I would definitely check out the new anime, there are a lot of potential fun pairings and the story is much better than the first anime.

Envy is probably one of the better antagonist to ship, Scar is another one and maybe Lust. But imagining Gluttony/Anyone just makes me nauseous....

[identity profile] escherichiacola.livejournal.com 2009-09-30 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
So how 'bout that Digimon fandom?

[identity profile] cleartempest.livejournal.com 2009-09-30 08:46 am (UTC)(link)
For serious? THE WALL. No really, I take it as some kind of symbolism pertaining to Yamamoto's growth and how his natural hitman emotions are some kind of thing he can't quite grasp yet, like the wall, which is an illusion but is as real as a real wall UNLESS you don't believe in it.
/oh god wat
...and, in general with KHR, you make me feel like it's okay to think of stuff like that XD it's not so much a specific character.

HARRY POTTER BUT IDK IF YOU'VE THOUGHT ABOUT SHIPS FOR THIS SERIES XD I know I haven't...
OR maybe Phoenix Wright? :3

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-09-30 04:32 pm (UTC)(link)
DIGIMON, DIGITAL MONSTERS, DIGIMON ARE THE CHAMPIONS.

OTP: Taito, or Tai/Matt, or however you prefer to say it. This was one of the first slash pairings I was really obsessed with.

Runner-up: RUKATO. I love Takato and Ruki's relationship so much.

Honorable mention(s): Hirokazu/Kenta, Daisuke/Miyako (oh man, it was so hard finding fic for that pairing with Daiken so predominant), Daiken (obviously I wasn't helping things XD) Tamers OT3 (I don't mean to leave poor Jen out of things), and... Izzy/Tentomon. Um.

Crack pairing(s): ...I actually can't think of any for this series. Even the crack pairings, I took seriously. Sob.

Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't: Well, I don't know how much everyone else likes it, but I really can't stand Sorato. I live in a happy little denial world where the 02 epilogue never happened. XD

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-09-30 04:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha, I would love to say my symbolism runs that deep with Yama/Wall, but to be honest I just really like the idea of an anthropomorphic (...not physically, just in that HE HAS FEELINGS) stalker wall that Yama can never escape because it's funny as all hell. But now that you've said it, I can't unsee it. YAMA, THERE IS NO WALL... THE ONLY WALL IS INSIDE OF YOU.

But usually my intents are deeper than that, I swear. XD You know I love to analyze and over-analyze characters and relationships and theories, so yeah, I'm glad you like that in my fics. ♥

ONTO THE MEME! I'll do both, just cuz. HARRY POTTER:

OTP: Ron/Hermione

Runner-up: Snape/Lily (bawww)

Honorable mention(s): THE TRIO, Dumbledore/Grindelwald, Neville/Luna, Harry/Ginny (GO SUE ME, FANDOM), Snape/Malfoy (IN A FATHERLY SENSE ONLY I SWEAR), James/Sirius

Crack pairing(s): Dobby/Harry. HAHAHA I'M GOING TO HELL. But he was so loyal, though!

Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't: Oh Jesus I don't even know. Harry/Hermione is the main one, but this fandom is so chock full of insane pairings it's unbelievable. True story: When I went to see Half-Blood Prince on opening night at midnight, I printed out this list, and passed the time waiting with my friends by reading a random ship name and seeing who could guess the pairing first. HALF THE TIME, NO ONE EVEN COULD. They are just that crazy.

ON TO ACE ATTORNEY:

OTP: Phoenix/Edgeworth. It's just canon, dammit.

Runner-up: Klavier/Apollo. What can I say, I like my main character slash. XD

Honorable mention(s): Diego/Mia (bawww), Phoenix/Franziska, Klavier/Ema

Crack pairing(s): Edgeworth/Gumshoe, Larry/Failure

Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't: Phoenix/Maya. She's too much like a little sis to him.

DAMN IT NOW I WANT TO PLAY PW AGAIN. I want the Edgeworth game so badly. ;_;

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-09-30 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
That is totally the best way to describe Naruto XD I'll keep coming back to it, not matter how bad it is for me.

Exactly. Kishimoto keeps hurting me in new and imaginative ways, but THIS SERIES. I just fell for it SO HARD when I first started reading it that there's no way I could ever bring myself to stop. I need to see it through. XD

Haha, Sasuke is one of my favorite characters of all time, honestly. So much so that even with all the dumb things he keeps doing (I was so disappointed when he let Madara manipulate him like that :/), I still adore him. HE'S MY BOY. And to me, the NaruSasu relationship represents the best part of him, the Sasuke that was a part of Team 7 and actually allowed himself to get close to people for once. And I also just think Naruto's determination to bring Sasuke BACK FROM THE DARK SIDE no matter what (or at least, that was the case until recent chapters; now I'm worried) is just kinda amazing. BUT I'LL STOP BORING YOU WITH MY RANTS ABOUT SASUKE. Oh, Sasuke. :|

I know, I loved their cracky interactions and how Tobi would always drive Deidei nuts. AND THEN TOBI TURNED OUT TO BE THE FINAL FREAKING VILLAIN. And Deidara got blown up. That sort of backfired.

Yeah, it would be nice if Havoc could get a break eventually. But until then, his fail antics with women do amuse me. XD AND ARMSTRONG TOPS EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING.

I will have to check out the new anime, then. I never read the manga all the way through, so I'm curious.

Greed was always my favorite just because he was fucking hot, but Envy had a little bit of chemistry with some of the other cast members. TERRIFYING RAPEY CHEMISTRY, but still. I'm with you when it comes to Gluttony, though. D:

[identity profile] cleartempest.livejournal.com 2009-09-30 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
LMAO OH MY GOD XDDD WALL/YAMA IS SO PROFOUND
Is it just me or does an anthropomorphic stalker wall sound like it'll be kinda fun to write? It'll be one huge mindfuck because he doesn't actually exist, hohoho XDD

D: The ~*Always*~ ship is so sweet and one-sided >:
I love Dumbledore/Grindelwald wahhhh, I WAS SO '!!!!OMG:DDDDD!!!' WHEN JK ROWLING SAID IT WAS CANON OH MY GOD. SO UNEXPECTED XDD
Harry and Ginny is just 'meh, okay wtv' for me.
I think Snape/Malfoy is cute XD BUT ONLY IN A FATHERLY WAY, YES
Marauder shipping heck yeah!

ldskhgdsg Dobby/Harry BAWWWWWW
I was so sad when Dobby died. >:

XD omg Harry/Hermione would be a biggie. I love when they interact as friends but I don't really ship it either :3 /hi-fi!
...LMAO THAT LIST XDD I CAN'T EVEN WRAP MY MIND AROUND MOST OF THEM. And I don't remember so many of the characters ORZ
SNAPE/DOBBY IS ~*EVIL SOCKS*~ AHAHA so many lulzy names. Some of them are also really sweet but still OTL I love how Peter/Lily is just 'Ewww' XD oh come on, it can't be that bad.

Phoenix/Edgeworth. It's just canon, dammit.
YES
pmfg I just realized I haven't played all the games ffff
But lol Edgeworth/Gumshoe asflksdg they'd drive each other crazy XD
And omg people ship Maya @_@ isn't she like a little kid...?
though I'm sure that has never stopped anyone before

...I heard it was really good >.>

[identity profile] escherichiacola.livejournal.com 2009-09-30 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Izzy/Tentomon

Lol, not something I expect outside of crack pairings.

Yeah, 02 ending is one of those traumatic events in life you just block out of your mind.

[identity profile] rikasaurus.livejournal.com 2009-10-01 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
AVATAR!

Haha, don't feel bad for not commenting much. I do the same thing to be honest xD;

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-10-02 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I BELIEVE AANG CAN SAVE THE WOOOOOOOOORLD

OTP: ...Zuko/Katara. Actually, no, I shouldn't feel ashamed about that. It's not my fault the fandom is batshit. XD WHATEVS.

Runner-up: Sokka/Zuko. Because they're bros. And so cute. And Sokka can actually top, and he like never tops. BUT EVERYONE TOPS ZUKO.

Honorable mention(s): Katara/Aang/Zuko OT3, Sokka/Toph, Suki/Sokka, Sozin/Roku (bawwwwww)

Crack pairing(s): APPA/MOMO (especially after the episode where Aang hallucinated them talking and having a swordfight XD), Melon Seller/Misery, Haru/Mustache

Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't: Jet/Zuko. Eh. XD

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-10-02 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
They had some real chemistry going on! I mean, I don't actually ship it, not really, but THEY ARE SOULMATES, you know? Lol.

Indeed. EPILOGUE WHAT EPILOGUE.

[identity profile] escherichiacola.livejournal.com 2009-10-02 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah, it's why I preferred Digimon over Pokemon. You have the whole bonding and friendship you don't get in a lot of other creature shows with their partners.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-10-03 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
Definitely. The Digimon weren't just sidekicks, they were almost like main characters too. Especially in Tamers, I thought; Renamon and Guilmon felt just as human as their partners. It was really refreshing to see them not just treated as kung fu fighting pets. XD

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-10-03 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
ANTHROPOMORPHIC STALKER WALL IS AMAZINGLY FUN TO WRITE. I SHOULD KNOW. XD

It really is. ;_; I cried the first time I read that chapter in the last book. TRAGIC UNREQUITED LOVE. And I was thrilled when Rowling confirmed Dumbledore/Grindelwald too; it was so cool that she actually came out there and said, "Yeah, he's gay."

It was kind of boring in the books, but I liked the chemistry between them in movie 6, and I've seen some really nice fanworks, so.

DEFINITELY ONLY IN A FATHERLY WAY, but yes. Especially since Draco kind of needed a better father figure. (Not that Snape was such a saint or anything, but compared to Lucius, it wasn't much of a contest. XD)

I KNOWWWW Dobby's death was really shocking to me for some reason. AND HE DIED IN SUCH A HEROIC WAY. RIP you crazy loyal house elf.

I love the Harry/Hermione friendship, but I just can't ship it at all. THEY ARE FRIENDS. I dunno, I just never saw it. And I KNOW, that list just goes on and on. And people say the KHR fandom has confusing ship names. :P I can't understand how anyone can keep track of the HP ships at all. Some of them are really awesome, though. My favorite by far is "The Government Stole My Toad." XD

Edgeworth/Gumshow is painful but wonderful. AND I KNOW, I totally don't get the Maya shipping either. But apparently a lot of people ship her and Phoenix. SHE'S LIKE SEVENTEEN OR SOMETHING, AND HE'S IN HIS MID-TWENTIES. It's weird. :/ Especially since she acts her age, if not younger. Ah, well.

I heard it too. Trying so hard to avoid spoilers, but ahhhh the wait. :(
