Man but I love character memes.
(Also, thanks to
valorously and o_melody_nelson for the snowflake cookies. ♥)ETA 2: OFF TO BED NOW, will finish these tomorrow. and maybe someone will take pity on me and give Gokudera some love too? Just, you know, so I have extra motivation to finish...! Yes. XD
OH MY GOD I'M FINALLY DONE. XDDD This was way too much fun, though. ♥

a. My favorite thing about that character.
How completely and utterly dependable he is. No matter what's going on, no matter how bad things get, you can always count on him to pull through
unless there are walls involved XD. He's an incredibly strong person, both mentally and physically; he's the guy all of the other characters can rely on whenever they need him. I find that particularly admirable because I personally am the type of person who totally crumbles under that kind of pressure, but he actually thrives on it. He lives to be someone his friends can always count on; he'd do anything for them. And damn that's cool.b. My least favorite thing about that character.
...Okay, I've been sitting here for like five minutes and am coming up with absolutely nothing. He is perfect. :|
c. One person I would ship them with in their own verse.
GOKUDERA. I assume "would ship" in this context means "absolutely do ship."
d. One crossover ship for them I think would be neat.
I want him to meet that guy you mentioned from this meme. Mutsumi. I mean, Yamamoto is pretty much universally shippable--HE LOVES EVERYONE!--but I have a feeling that combo in particular would be pretty special.
e. One crossover universe for them I think would be even neater.
I would love to see him in some kind of detective show. Can't think of a particular series, but he'd be hilarious in that kind of environment in general.
f. Their ship from hell.
As mentioned, Yamamoto loves just about everyone, so this is hard. Probably him and Byakuran would be the worst. Because Byakuran hasn't been Jesused yet, and he kind of killed his future dad and attempted to kill his future Tsuna and indirectly maimed his future Squalo and all. THAT DICK.
g. Their song.
Gonna cheat and just pull one from an old FST, cause Summer Rain by U2 is totally his song. IT IS ABOUT BEING OPEN AND CAREFREE. AND IT HAS RAIN IN THE TITLE. AND THE ENDING OF THE SONG IS ALL, "It's not where you're born, it's where you belong/It's not how weak, but what will make you strong," and damned if that is not an utterly shounen philosophy and Yama to a T.
h. The title of their biography or autobiography.
Something with a stupid baseball reference/pun, like "BATTER UP" or "BASES LOADED" or "PLAYING HARDBALL" or something. The gayer/cornier/more cliched, the better. Particularly if it's an autobiography.
i. The last bad dream they had.
Probably something related to all the shit happening in the future arc. Tsuna and everyone dying because he made a mistake or something. Or alternately, some really bizarre crackish thing with Squalo chasing him around with a tuna and then suddenly he's SURROUNDED BY WALLS and then Squalo corners him and then the tuna starts talking in Tsuna's voice about how he's concerned, he really shouldn't be pushing himself so hard. All of this is brought on by over exhaustion due to Squalo's crazy training. SHIT GETS REALLY WEIRD WHEN YOU'RE TIRED.
j. How they're gonna shuffle off the mortal coil, if they haven't already.
NOOOOOO oh wow the thought of him dying is really upsetting. P-probably in the middle of some really epic swordfight or gunfight or sword AND gunfight. Fighting to his last breath like the warrior he is. But sob do not want. ;_:
WOW THAT TOOK A WHILE. It's gonna take me forever to do all of the others too, lol.

a. My favorite thing about that character.
How totally fucking passionate he is. EVERYTHING IS SERIOUS FUCKING BUSINESS WITH THIS GUY. EVERYTHING. Anyone who speaks in perpetual all-caps is A-OK in my book. He's like Ryohei except everything pisses him off.
b. My least favorite thing about that character.
I love him as comic relief, but I wish we got to see his serious side more often. Moments like when he's talking to Yamamoto about swordsmanship or facing down Zakuro are pure and utter win. But more often he's just the loud guy with the flying shark. WHICH IS AWESOME, don't get me wrong. But there could be a bit more balance.
c. One person I would ship them with in their own verse.
Yamamoto. He obsesses over him; the only person he possibly obsesses over more is Xanxus. And with Yamamoto, it's something even more personal than simply admiring his EPIC RAAAGE; he connects with him on that "we're swordsmen, fuck yeah!" level that only the two of them really seem to understand. I adore it whenever they interact.
d. One crossover ship for them I think would be neat.
Hard to say; I've never really thought about it. Maybe someone equally as capslocky and freakishly passionate as him. Like Maito Gai. ...On second thought, I'm not sure the universe could take that.
e. One crossover universe for them I think would be even neater.
Three words: Cowboy. Fucking. Bebop. I really just want to see him and Vicious meet up, since they're so similar. EPIC TIMES WOULD BE HAD.
f. Their ship from hell.
I think Mukuro would drive him nuts pretty quickly.
g. Their song.
Gonna cheat again and go with In the Belly of a Shark by the Gallows. It's about BEING EATEN BY A SHARK and the guy singing it even sounds like him, in the "screaming at the top of his lungs" sense. XD It's a loud and angry song.
h. The title of their biography or autobiography.
Probably just a book version of "The Making of the Second Sword Emperor." I'm too tired/lazy to come up with anything more original or clever.
i. The last bad dream they had.
Probably a dream where Xanxus came on to him and they started making out. He woke up feeling terrified and more than a little disturbed. FEAR YOUR OWN REPRESSED DESIRES, SQUALO.
j. How they're gonna shuffle off the mortal coil, if they haven't already.
For starters, not by being blown up by Zakuro.I have the sneaking suspicion that in his ideal world, he'd meet his death at Yamamoto's hand. The student has finally surpassed the teacher, and all that. Who knows, though.no subject

a. My favorite thing about that character.
She's actually like a female version of Gokudera in a lot of ways, with his quirky traits more amplified and his tsun-y traits a little more downplayed. But she's smart, determined, more than a little obsessed with her husband-to-be (and she pursues her goal of MAFIA WIFE in much the same way that Gokudera strives to be the right hand man), stubborn and argumentative when she feels that something isn't right, and ultimately just wants to do her best to help her friends and loved ones. So that's a lot of things, and I was supposed to list just one, but whatever. XD
b. My least favorite thing about that character.
I really am disappointed at how she and Kyoko have been relegated to the background (if that, even) in the Future Arc. Not that it wasn't expected, this being shounen, but still. I wish she could get a chance to do more than just watch.
c. One person I would ship them with in their own verse.
Gokudera. Mostly for the character similarities I mentioned above, and also because it would have to be a very gradually developing romance, and those are my favorite kind.
d. One crossover ship for them I think would be neat.
For some reason, the first thing that came to mind was, "A yuri pairing for her would be really neat", and right afterward the first person that popped into my head was Willow from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Probably because I'm in the process of watching BtVS on DVD right now. But that would be a really interesting pairing; I think their personalities would mix pretty well.
e. One crossover universe for them I think would be even neater.
I'll probably be shot for saying this, but I think it would be completely freaking hilarious to see Haru in the High School Musical universe. XD She's so theatrical, she would love it.
f. Their ship from hell.
...actually, Gokudera would probably be pretty high up here lol. XDD Okay, no, but any villain, pretty much. BYAKURAN. ICKY ICKY BYAKURAN. AND KIKYO. But apparently not Zakuro.
g. Their song.
Beautiful Stranger by Madonna. It's so nice to have picked these out already. XD
h. The title of their biography or autobiography.
Love Blossoms in Spring or something equally ridiculous. Sob.
i. The last bad dream they had.
Probably Tsuna dying horribly in the Choice battle, and her maybe off on the sidelines, wanting desperately to help, but frozen in place and unable to do anything but watch it happen. She was pretty traumatized when he finally told her everything that had been going on. And I imagine that most if not all of the Tsunagang has had at least one dream like that since the future arc began. They're just kids. :(
j. How they're gonna shuffle off the mortal coil, if they haven't already.
As an old, old woman, on her deathbed surrounded by her beloved MAFIA HUSBAND and their loving kids and grandkids. I refuse to consider any other option.

a. My favorite thing about that character.
That he chose to be his best self in the end. Because for the majority of the series we saw how much he struggled with his destiny and his honor and figuring out what the hell he wanted to do, and while he made a lot (A LOT. A LOT) of
DUMBbad choices, he also overcame a hell of a lot of obstacles and issues, and in the end he finally made the right decision, even though it meant giving up everything he'd thought he ever wanted. And I think that was incredibly brave.b. My least favorite thing about that character.
My God but he can be a dumbass. XD
c. One person I would ship them with in their own verse.
Katara. Avatar fandom is so polarized when it comes to shipping that I'm always a little terrified to admit it, but yeah. I shipped him and Katara. But canon went its own way and that's fine too.
d. One crossover ship for them I think would be neat.
If he ever found himself in the Narutoverse I would totally ship him and Naruto, just because he's like a failier (and yet in some ways, less faily) version of Sasuke. And Naruto is like a ninjaier version of Aang, so they would totally get along. ...Probably.
e. One crossover universe for them I think would be even neater.
Hell, I have to go with Naruto again. I think it would be fun to see their mythologies and abilities and so forth mix.
f. Their ship from hell.
It would be Azula, except I don't even really like to think about that one, so let's go with Sokka. Except I totally do ship that, but man, both of them would freak out at the very notion.
g. Their song.
it's Been a While by Staind. Angsty song about fucking up a lot and not knowing what to do about it or how to make things better... this was totally Zuko's theme for the majority of the series.
h. The title of their biography or autobiography.
From the Ashes or some other vaguely fire-related quote about struggling to rise from adversity. I dunno, I really, really suck at this question.
i. The last bad dream they had.
Bawww my sister is evil and trying to take over the world, bawww my father is evil and trying to take over the world, bawww my mother is dead, bawww I let my uncle down and he'll never forgive me, bawww I'm such a failure... take your pick. This kid had enough nightmare fodder for a lifetime. I'm hoping his dreams are a little more peaceful post-finale. Maybe a nice little standard-issue nightmare about showing up to give a Fire Lord speech in his underwear or something.
j. How they're gonna shuffle off the mortal coil, if they haven't already.
He had damn well better die of old age and nothing else. I HAVE MADE UP MY MIND ABOUT THIS.

a. My favorite thing about that character.
HE'S KUSAKABE.
Okay, seriously, I love how completely loyal he is. SUCH A GOOD MINION.
b. My least favorite thing about that character.
NEEDS MORE SCREENTIME. I'm very disappointed that Hibari showed up in the last chapter and yet he wasn't also there. FAIL, KUSAKABE. FAIL.
c. One person I would ship them with in their own verse.
Romario. They can totally bond over being loyal minions. (During the chapters when Hibari was fighting Daisy, I almost died of the awesome just because those two were actually together.)
d. One crossover ship for them I think would be neat.
I'd totally ship his hair with Kuwabara from Yu Yu Hakusho's hair. HAIR OTP.
e. One crossover universe for them I think would be even neater.
Man, every time I come to this question, my meme progress just grinds to a screeching halt. I really don't think much about crossovers. XD I'm just gonna dump him in some random football movie or something. He looks like the type of thug who'd be good at sports.
f. Their ship from hell.
Gonna have to go with Mukuro again. I doubt Kusakabe would be too thrilled about dating his boss's most hated rival.
g. Their song.
Where You Lead, I Will Follow by Carole King. Where you lead, I will follow/Anywhere that you tell me to... Best song for gay minions.
h. The title of their biography or autobiography.
Zen and the Art of Hairstyle Maintenance.
i. The last bad dream they had.
He was BALD!! oh the horrors. ...IDK.
j. How they're gonna shuffle off the mortal coil, if they haven't already.
In some totally selfless and yet tragically useless act of heroic sacrifice for Hibari's sake. Sob.

a. My favorite thing about that character.
Right now, it's that he's so unquestionably and unapologetically evil. We haven't even seen a hint of redemption potential in this guy. I really love that, because it makes him all the more fun to hate, and even though I know he'll eventually be Jesused like every other shounen villain ever, as far as I'm concerned, Amano can take her sweet time.
I also really like the "other universes" twist because it adds such a bizarre layer to his character.
b. My least favorite thing about that character.
HE'S A DICK. (Yeah, my least favorite thing is also my favorite thing.)
c. One person I would ship them with in their own verse.
Shouichi. In that extremely fucked-up "we used to be best friends but then you betrayed me just because I happened to be insane :/" way.
d. One crossover ship for them I think would be neat.
He'd be really fun to pair up with a similarly deluded psychopath from another universe, like Light from Death Note.
e. One crossover universe for them I think would be even neater.
POKEMON. Come on, just imagine Byakuran in the Pokemon universe. You know one of the Byakurans is totally chilling out there anyway, plotting to take over Team Rocket and THEN, THE WORLD! And I bet he has a Jigglypuff.
f. Their ship from hell.
Tsuna. Because Tsuna is the one who is eventually going to beat him, and I can only imagine the torment Byakuran would have from being paired up with someone better than him. Lol ego blow.
g. Their song.
Paranoid Android by Radiohead. Schizophrenix and egotistical! When I am king, you will be first against the wall/With your opinion which is of no consequence at all. I'm totally going to use this in a FST one day.
h. The title of their biography or autobiography.
Fuck You, Hugh Everett
i. The last bad dream they had.
Oh man, I can't even imagine. Probably something really off-the-wall crazy having to do with a traumatic experience in a particularly weird parallel universe or something. Or maybe a dream where Tsuna and co succeed in killing him and wiping out his existence forever, and everything is just black and nothing-y. Though I can't really imagine him conceiving of the possibility that he might actually lose. He just seems so arrogant that it probably never even occurred to him.
j. How they're gonna shuffle off the mortal coil, if they haven't already.
In my perfect world, it would be after Tsuna delivers the death blow (Byakuran having given him no other choice), and him lying there afterward spending his last few moments saying an angsty goodbye to Shouichi. If he doesn't get one last angsty moment with Shou at the very end, I'll be very disappointed.

b. My least favorite thing about that character.
Nothing, he is a perfect cat.
c. One person I would ship them with in their own verse.
NUTS. Chapter 265 totally sealed the deal on this.
d. One crossover ship for them I think would be neat.
I want to see him be rivals with Pikachu or something.
e. One crossover universe for them I think would be even neater.
Yeah, definitely going to have to go with Pokemon. He would be the very best, like no one ever was.
f. Their ship from hell.
I don't think he likes Bel's mink much.
g. Their song.
Just Can't Wait To Be King from The Lion King. I'm brushing up on looking down/I'm working on my roar...
h. The title of their biography or autobiography.
Meow
...he's a FREAKING CAT. XD

Gokudera succeeding in giving him a bath, and then all the other box animals making fun of him. :(

Not that I mind rambling about good ol' Chuckles.
a. My favorite thing about that character.
How utterly topped he secretly is by Tsuna, and how he absolutely will never, ever show it. Even ten years later he's still all, "You know, Tsuna, one of these days I'm still totally taking over your body," and it just makes me chuckle because EVERYONE knows he's completely full of shit. XD It's cute.
b. My least favorite thing about that character.
That he always has his game face on. I dunno, I'd just like to see him caught off-guard at least a little every now and then. His lack of reaction other than ":)" to everything can get a little dull sometimes. My favorite moments with him are when that mask slips a little, even if it's only for a moment.
c. One person I would ship them with in their own verse.
Chrome. She brings out his protective side, which is really interesting to see because she's really the only one who does that, ever. If she didn't exist I would have sworn he didn't even have a protective side.
d. One crossover ship for them I think would be neat.
You know, now he would be really fun to see with Light from DN. Their conversations would be hilariously polite with a very palpable undertone of ":|".
e. One crossover universe for them I think would be even neater.
I want to see him in Harry Potter for some reason. You know, just trolling Harry and Slytherining it up. And part of me also thinks he'd be a great Phoenix Wright villain.
f. Their ship from hell.
I've seen a fair few people shipping him with Byakuran, but I happen to think he'd absolutely despise that. He might play along, but he would hate the guy's guts.
g. Their song.
The Package by A Perfect Circle. Clever got me this far, then tricky got me in. Schism by Tool also reminds me of him, especially the solo. Not sure why, it just sounds like him.
h. The title of their biography or autobiography.
I don't even know. Some buddhist reincarnation cycle reference. My brain's too tired to think. XD
i. The last bad dream they had.
I always got the impression that Mukuro had pretty tight control over his own dreams. At least, you'd think so if one of his hobbies was wandering around other people's. So he probably doesn't have nightmares often, if ever. When he was younger he might have had dreams about the Estraneo family and all of those weird experiments they did. But who knows; he doesn't seem the type to be overly traumatized by much.
j. How they're gonna shuffle off the mortal coil, if they haven't already.
Probably in some big noble act of sacrifice to protect Tsuna/the Vongola family. And he'd deny the implications of that right up till his last breath. Oh, Mukuro. And of course he'd be reincarnated again afterward, so he'd eventually find them again. ...That'd be an interesting fic, actually.

a. My favorite thing about that character.
That he's so sweetly insecure. It's really endearing; he's incredibly hard-working and talented but he doesn't feel that he is at all; he's very timid and bawww-why-did-Spitfire-choose-meee ;_; and lots of times I just want to hug him.
b. My least favorite thing about that character.
I can't really think of anything. I'm nowhere near up-to-date with Air Gear nowadays so I can't comment on whether he's been getting appropriate panel-time or not, and there's nothing about his character I really dislike.
c. One person I would ship them with in their own verse.
He's pretty extremely gay for Ikki.
d. One crossover ship for them I think would be neat.
He's just enough like Gokudera that I think he and Yamamoto would be an interesting pair. YAMA WOULD PROBABLY MAKE HIM BLUSH A LOT.
e. One crossover universe for them I think would be even neater.
Air Gear/Reborn all the way, baby. I blame
f. Their ship from hell.
Either Sora or Nike. He'd just. Lose his mind.
g. Their song.
Hmm, not sure. Maybe Painless by Mae. Hey! Wait! Knock me down and I'll get up again/Oh! Pain! A remedy that can erase your sting/I'll keep holding and I'll keep trying/I feel this fight, it is slowly dying now/But I feel painless... I dunno, it's got that shounen "Never give up, even when it's hard" vibe, and he is that type of character.
h. The title of their biography or autobiography.
Flame Road would work; simple but appropriate.
i. The last bad dream they had.
Oh lord. Probably something about failing Aeon and Spitfire after they put their trust in him. But really, he has all sorts of nightmare fodder. XD
j. How they're gonna shuffle off the mortal coil, if they haven't already.
VETO, DENIED. Don't want to think about it, enough shit has happened to him already. LA LA LA.

a. My favorite thing about that character.
I'm gonna shy away from the possibly-obvious "his awesome EXTREMEness" answer and instead say his relationship with Kyoko. I'm a sucker for close sibling relationships in fiction, and I've always thought it was really sweet how protective he is of his little sister. That his motivation to not lose is so he doesn't have to see her cry.
b. My least favorite thing about that character.
He's slightly lacking on the three-dimensional character front. His main character trait is that HE'S EXTREME!1, and it's both awesome and hilarious, but Amano rarely goes beyond that when writing him. It'd be nice if he could share in some of the development Gokudera, Yamamoto, and even Hibari have gotten.
c. One person I would ship them with in their own verse.
...Wow, just now coming to the realization that I don't really ship Ryohei with anybody. XD Not our Ryohei, anyway. TYL!Ryohei I kinda ship with Gokudera and (after reading
d. One crossover ship for them I think would be neat.
Given his fascination with TYL!I-Pin, I bet he'd be attracted to Ty Lee from Avatar.
e. One crossover universe for them I think would be even neater.
DRAGONBALL Z. He would fit in so well there. That universe was made for him.
f. Their ship from hell.
He would hate to be paired up with Gokudera. HAHAHA.
g. Their song.
It's My Life by Bon Jovi. Or maybe Eye of the Tiger, if you want something I haven't already used in a FST.
h. The title of their biography or autobiography.
SHINE ON TO THE LIMIT or something else with a similar "cheesy motivational book" vibe. And it is absolutely in all caps.
i. The last bad dream they had.
STANDARD "FIGHT AGAINST BYAKURAN GOES AWRY AND WE ALL DIE HORRIBLY" DREAM GOES HERE. Like I said in some of the comments above, I'm sure all of the guardians have had this dream at least once.
j. How they're gonna shuffle off the mortal coil, if they haven't already.
If I didn't know that he fortunately mellows out a little with age, my answer would probably be "while doing something stupid." Like skydiving or free soloing or something. But now I hopefully can say that he'll live a logn and healthy life. TO THE EXTREME.

a. My favorite thing about that character.
He KOed Yamamoto. By simply standing there. I cannot for the life of me even begin to describe in words how truly, truly epic that was. IN WHAT OTHER MANGA CAN A MAIN CHARACTER BE DEFEATED BY A WALL. It was pure love at first sight. Years and years from now, when KHR is such a distant memory that I can barely remember the character numbers anymore (we're talking like decades down the road I guess XD), I'll still treasure that moment.
b. My least favorite thing about that character.
That he disappeared along with the rest of the Melone Base without so much as an, "I'll call you." WHY ARE ALL MEN THE SAME.
c. One person I would ship them with in their own verse.
DO YOU EVEN NEED TO ASK. I've never shipped anything as much as I ship Yama/Wall. SUCH BEAUTIFUL LOVE.
d. One crossover ship for them I think would be neat.
I would love for Wall to cameo in all the other main shounen manga-verses, so that their main characters could get a dose of his medicine. Naruto, Luffy, Ichigo; all shall fall before him.
e. One crossover universe for them I think would be even neater.
SEE ABOVE.
f. Their ship from hell.
Wall/Wrecking Ball. Oh, I shudder to think. Also Wall/Termites. Even though I don't think he's made of wood. They're still icky.
g. Their song.
:)
h. The title of their biography or autobiography.
I can't really imagine his biography having a title. I picture it more as just a book with a solid black cover and no words on the front. Kind of like a Weezer album, I suppose. If people needed to call it something, they'd just refer to it as "Wall's Autobiography."

a. My favorite thing about that character.
His normalness. IN A WORLD OF CHAOS, HE IS A BEACON OF SANITY, which usually results in him suffering hilariously, but I find him so endearing. He does not want to be a hero or a mafia boss or lord knows whatever else at all; he just wants to be a normal kid. It's so refreshing to see a shounen lead with no aspirations other than for himself and his friends/family to be happy.
b. My least favorite thing about that character.
I actually have no qualms with him at all in canon. My only issue in fandom is that I wish people would give normal!Tsuna a little more credit/attention, in addition to super!awesome!badass!Hyper Dying Will Tsuna.
c. One person I would ship them with in their own verse.
Kyoko. His crush on her is so cute, and even though this ship gets hated on sometimes (for being 'boring' and so forth), I think they're a good pair. He needs another normal person in his life.
d. One crossover ship for them I think would be neat.
I kinda want to say Maya Fey from Ace Attorney, because Tsuna reminds me a little of Phoenix, and I bet he and Maya would have a similar (hilarious) dynamic.
e. One crossover universe for them I think would be even neater.
Now that it's occurred to me, I really want to see a Reborn/Ace Attorney crossover. OH MY GOD THE TRIALS WOULD BE EPIC.
f. Their ship from hell.
I know he tends to be the fandom bicycle for some reason, but I actually can't see him paired with the majority of the KHR cast, because they're just way too crazy for him. Particularly the formerly evil/dickish ones, like Xanxus and Mukuro. JUST CAN'T FATHOM IT, SORRY.
g. Their song.
I've picked a bunch of songs for him in the past for old FSTs, but for something new: The First of Me by Hoobastank. I think this is particularly appropriate for the Succession chapter of this arc. I hear a voice inside/It's grown into a scream/I'm not the next of them/I am the first of me. It really reflects that quiet defiance that I love about him.
h. The title of their biography or autobiography.
Trainwreck: My Life as a Teenage Mafia Boss.
i. The last bad dream they had.
The night before the Choice battle, I bet he had a dream about showing up to the fight in his underwear.

Now that Shouichi's clarified the issue for us, I can safely say it will not be by getting shot in the head in cold blood. Hopefully. XD TSUNA MUST LIVE A LONG AND HAPPY LIFE AND DIE SURROUNDED BY FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND MANY WIMPY GRANDKIDS. I will not accept anything else.

GOKUDERA.
OH YES, I WENT THERE! Lol. xD

LET'S DO THIS, RIGHT HAND MAN STYLE.
a. My favorite thing about that character.
His growth as a character over the course of the series. That he started as a thug who TRUSTED NO ONE and grew into this budding young leader. ...Who is STILL A THUG with trust issues, yeah. But just... he's still managed to come this far already. And there's still a long way to go, and I love him all the more for that. It's like watching a favorite younger sibling mature and go through all sorts of trials but come out stronger and better for them. I mean, the whole point of shounen manga is to watch characters go through journeys like his. He's the reason I'm reading. And writing, and fangirling.
b. My least favorite thing about that character.
There is nothing. I love the whole package, flaws and all. Even the never-wins-a-fight thing. It endears him to me that much more. EXCUSE ME, MY BIAS IS SHOWING.
c. One person I would ship them with in their own verse.
Yamamoto. Gokudera needs someone who understands and accepts his strengths and weaknesses and knows how to handle him. I can't think of any character who's a better fit, barring Haru, and that would only be after the two of them get to know each other better and eventually bond, most likely years down the road. XD
d. One crossover ship for them I think would be neat.
CONFESSION TIME: I actually ship him with Ikki from Air Gear pretty hardcore. This is another of those things that is entirely the fault of my stalking certain RPs (damn you, CFUD). But even though this could only happen under an extremely specific set of really bizarre circumstances (not the least of which is Ikki not being completely heterosexual), it's probably my crossover OTP. HAHA I AM WEIRD.
e. One crossover universe for them I think would be even neater.
Since I already said Air Gear, I'll go with House. I think he'd make a great Patient of the Week. House would either hate him, or have a blast with him. (And Gokudera would just hate the entire cast, but that's to be expected.)
f. Their ship from hell.
Any one of the Mukuro/Byakuran lulzy dickish types. Byakuran in particular since VILLAIN WHO IS TRYING TO KILL THEM ALL and all that, but Mukuro would drive him insane too. Especially since Mukuro is the type who would take great pleasure in it. Bel goes here too. RIVALSHIPPING CAN ONLY BE TAKEN SO FAR.
g. Their song.
I never lack for songs that remind me of Gokudera. XD I'll go with Just One by Hoobastank for this meme. Just once chance is all I ever wanted/Just one time, I'd like to win the game/From now on, I'll take the chance if I can have it. It reminds me of both his determination and his unfortunate win/loss record. XD
h. The title of their biography or autobiography.
Riding Out the Storm: Tales of a Right Hand Man. I COME UP WITH THE WORST BOOK TITLES EVER.
i. The last bad dream they had.
BAWWW EVERYONE'S DEAD IN THE FUTURE ARC. But with an extra-special oh-my-God-what-if-I-fail-the-Tenth added angst bonus! Or if you prefer something crackier... okay, you know what, I actually can't think of anything. Sorry. XD This arc is too wrapped up in angst.
j. How they're gonna shuffle off the mortal coil, if they haven't already.
I'm sorry, the question you have dialed seems to be incorrect. Please try again.

a. My favorite thing about that character.
He's such a Nice Guy. I mean, he's kind of like the ideal of what Tsuna could be if/when he ever mans up and just embraces the mafia life already. (Well, a somewhat more failish ideal version, but you get the point.) He just wants to be a good boss and do right by his famiglia, and he's always helping out Tsuna and the other Vongola because that's what good allies do. He's just a good guy.
b. My least favorite thing about that character.
He hasn't been quite failish enough in the Future Arc. I almost forgot he could be failish until right after the Choice battle when he fell down the stairs or whatever happened. And then I was like, "OH YEAH!" and then I was a little sad, because I realized I had missed that. It was one of his charm points.
c. One person I would ship them with in their own verse.
Mukuro. God help me, but it really is my Dino OTP. ...And my Mukuro OTP. XD
d. One crossover ship for them I think would be neat.
For some reason, Kakashi popped into my head. Maybe because Dino reminds me a little bit of Iruka, and even though I don't ship KakaIru, I did always think the dynamic might work if they had ever interacted even like ONCE in canon. XD Anyway.
e. One crossover universe for them I think would be even neater.
Yeah, I'm gonna stick with Naruto here. Because I just had this mental image of Dino trying to train a genin team, and OH MY GOD THE LULZ.
f. Their ship from hell.
Reborn. NONE OF THAT STUDENT/TEACHER STUFF PLEASE. Dino would be all chuckles and nervous smiles on the outside, but on the inside he'd be like. Constantly fearing for his life. XD
g. Their song.
Rather than pull yet another song from this FST, I'm gonna go with Let's Get Retarded by the Black Eyed Peas. |D Get started/Get stupid/Don’t worry about it, people, we’ll walk you through it. Because Dino's not afraid to get his hands dirty EVEN IF HE'S A WALKING DISASTER.
h. The title of their biography or autobiography.
How I Succeeded While Failing at Everything.
i. The last bad dream they had.
The Vongola losing to Byakuran, and on top of that it was one of those days where he just couldn't get his hair right no matter what he tried.
j. How they're gonna shuffle off the mortal coil, if they haven't already.
Slipping on a bar of soap in the shower because he gave his men the day off. XD

are you still doing this. Lol reading this thread had been very entertaining, especially your crossover ideas. Lol at Dino trying to teach a bunch of Genin. xD
And would like to see a conversation between Light and Byakuran too! they can go wacko together. xD
HIBARI?
no subject
Oh wow, did I really not do Hibari yet? Poor Hibari. All right, why not?
a. My favorite thing about that character.
That he's just Hibari, just chillin' out and doin' his thang. He's a very lazy, antisocial guy who likes things a certain way--but if they're not that way, he will make them that way. ZERO TOLERANCE. And sometimes that means he needs to kill a bitch, which is awesome and hilarious. But most of the time he's perfectly content so long as everyone leaves Namimori alone and just minds their own business, which is also cool. He's kind of like Shikamaru if Shikamaru had a homicidal mode which was activated anytime someone interrupted his cloud-watching time. I'm not sure if any of this is making any sense, but anyway, that weird contrast between "bored..." and "KILL NOW" is my favorite thing about Hibari.
b. My least favorite thing about that character.
He has very little character depth or development, particularly for someone who's so popular. I really want to learn more about him at some point. Right now I think he's awesome and amusing, but there's not much beyond that.
c. One person I would ship them with in their own verse.
Namimori. I would say Dino, but a) due to hilarious circumstances I ship Dino with Mukuro, and b) somehow, I can't help but think that the fact that Dino's ability to be cool is entirely dependent on his BEING AROUND A CROWD might somehow turn Hibari off. XD
d. One crossover ship for them I think would be neat.
Now that I've gone and compared him to Shikamaru, I am suddenly curious how this would work.
e. One crossover universe for them I think would be even neater.
Harry Potter. It would be ten kinds of hilarious to see Hibari going around proclaiming his love for Hogwarts, and biting people to death with his wand (he is, of course, a prefect). I wonder what house he'd be in. Somehow, he strikes me as a Ravenclaw.
f. Their ship from hell.
MUKURO. FUCK THAT GUY. >(
g. Their song.
Defy You by The Offspring. The wind blows/I lean into the wind/My anger grows/I'll use it to win/The more you say/The more I defy you/So get out of my way. You do not mess with Hibari. It is his way or the highway.
h. The title of their biography or autobiography.
I spent a full minute pondering this and couldn't come up with anything, so. PASS. There's a limit to how much time I am willing to spend on this meme. XD
i. The last bad dream they had.
Hibari does not sleep. He waits.
Heh. He was probably having a lovely dream about Namimori one night when suddenly Mukuro showed up out of nowhere and started being a dick, because Mukuro loves to troll people's dreams like that.
j. How they're gonna shuffle off the mortal coil, if they haven't already.
Saving one of the other guardians in some I-am-totally-not-saving-you-or-anything-really reluctantly heroic manner. Probably Gokudera. Because Gokudera always winds up being in his debt in some way or another.
Though I actually have a hell of a time picturing Hibari actually dying. He'll live forever. XD
