SIX SHIPS I LIKE:
1. Aerith/Tifa (Final Fantasy VII)
2. Fitz/The Fool (The Farseer and Tawny Man trilogies)
3. Kazuki/Soushi (Fafner in the Azure)
4. Tidus/Yuna (Final Fantasy X)
5. Keiichi/Rena (Higurashi no Naku Koroni + Kai)
6. Gokudera/Yamamoto (Katekyou Hitman Reborn!)
THREE SHIPS I'VE ABANDONED:
7. Soi Fon/Yoruichi (Bleach)
8. Seishirou/Subaru (CLAMP canon)
9. D'EON/LIA (Le Chevalier d'Eon)
THREE SHIPS I'VE NEVER LIKED:
10. Kira/Lacus (Gundam SEED + Destiny)
11. Edward/Roy (Fullmetal Alchemist)
12. Ahiru/Fakir (Princess Tutu)
TWO SHIPS THAT HAVE PIQUED MY INTEREST:
13. Euphemia/Lelouch (Code Geass)
14. Any random garif/Any random viera (Final Fantasy XII)
1. Why do you dislike #11 [Edward/Roy] so much?
I don't understand where it comes from and the age gap makes me feel uncomfortable. I don't HATE it like "RAAAARR LET'S GET THE PITCHFORKS". It's just odd, to me, how it's so popular.
2. Who do you know that 'ships #13 [Euphemia/Lelouch]?
No one. I think?
3. What would be your ideal scenario for couple #3 [Kazuki/Soushi]?
No matter how much time it takes, amazingly, against all the astonishing odds, he will return. Just as he promised.
4. What is your favorite moment for #1 [Aerith/Tifa]?
When Aerith dies and Tifa rushes to her only to run away, presumably crying (I have Tifa in my party whenever possible, so that happens every time I play). The first time I played that scene was what really hurt me about her death (I didn't care for Aerith that much back then, it was Tifa, hurt, that got to me). Alternatively, that moment in Advent Children, when Tifa sort of indirectly addresses Aerith after Cloud's big final battle. Oh. I love, love, love it how they don't let bitterness over Cloud get between them.
5. How long have you been following couple #6 [Gokudera/Yamamoto]?
How long ago did I start reading Reborn!? I think it was about a day into my Reborn!-reading marathon that I started paying attention to their relationship. Though I only TRULY started shipping them FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART around the current arc.
6. What's the story with #8 [Seishirou/Subaru]? What made you stop caring?
I have a unique relationship with these two and the two manga they represent. I have these seasons where I'm all over them, but then after a time my interest just vanes. When I'm not in the mood for Tokyo Babylon/X, I can't understand what I ever saw in the pairing, but the love always returns. I was first introduced to them maybe six or five years ago, and three times I've fallen in and out of love. Just because I "dislike" them right now doesn't mean I'll dislike them in another year.
7. Which ship do you prefer--#2 [Fitz/The Fool] or #4 [Tidus/Yuna]?
Ouch, that's a bad one. M-maybe #2? They're more nostalgic to me.
8. You have the power to make one ship non-existent. Choose from #10 [Kira/Lacus] or #12 [Ahiru/Fakir].
Well, Ahiru/Fakir just doesn't work for me, personally, while Kira/Lacus (both the pairing and the individual characters) I hate with the passion of a thousand burning suns! Well, that was....... not as easy as I thought. I care about Gundam SEED so much less than I care about Princess Tutu. Kira and Lacus can be disgusting (sorry) together for all I care, as long as I get to bitch about it (I'M IMMATURE, AND IT MAKES ME FEEL BETTER DDD:). But the thought of Princess Tutu as a whole without the Ahiru/Fakir... or Ahiru/Fakir much less pronounced... Maybe it would be better, maybe it would be worse, but I'm interested in seeing what would happen. #12 for this one, then. D:
9. What interests you about #14 [Hot garif/viera action]?
They're both wise and old races in touch with nature, with the additional benefit of being aesthetically pleasing! The garif have a rich history and put much value in tradition and spiritualism and yes, remind me of native Americans, while the viera are elfish and aloof and live in tree-houses, and both are so very dignified. I think they could be an intimidating match.
10. When did you stop liking #7 [Soi Fon/Yoruichi]?
Pretty soon after the end of the Soul Society arc. A combination of my increasing disinterest in the manga, lack of focus on the characters after their battle, and the pairing itself not delivering what I'd hoped. (Too bad I don't really ship Yoruichi and Urahara. D:) I'm still fond of it, but I can't find the passion for it I once harbored.
11. Did your waning interest in #9 [d'Eon/Lia] kill your interest in the series?
...LOL, no. (Ah, my cursed fascination with sibling incest. I shipped it half as a joke up to the end of the first France arc, and before I knew that d'Eon kissing female corpses is practically a daily occurrence. Then plot and unveiling of character motives happened.)
12. What's a song that reminds you of #5 [Keiichi/Rena]?
...MY GOODNESS. Y-YES. Okay, Happy Birthday by The Birthday Massacre is what first comes to mind, and Midnight Flight by YETI, The Game by Disturbed, and Rawhead and Bloodybones by Siouxsie & The Banshees. The whole of the Twin Peaks soundtrack. Madhouse by Mono, and Goodnight Moon by Shivaree. Then that Undercity BGM from Vagrant Story and you've got yourself a playlist for these two very disturbed individuals. Add in Garbage's Right Between the Eyes, just to emphasize the juxtaposition between the beginning of the first and the end of the second series.
13. Which of these 'ships do you love the most right now?
At the very moment? A toss-up between Retard/Moron (GokuYama~) and Keiichi/Rena because compiling all those songs got me in the mood. The killing mood. But really, most of the ships under "I like" are eternal favourites.
14. Which do you dislike the most?
Gosh I really dislike everything* about Kira Yamato and Lacus Clyne. (*means I liked Kira enough in the first series, and Meer the Lacus Clone is one of my favourite characters in the second.)
15. If you could have any of these pairings double date, who would they be?
...Gokudera+Yamamoto+Keiichi+Rena to see the fireworks. A strong competitive personality who Fucking Hates You All, a strong competitive personality with a Penchant For Passionate Speechmaking And Over-Signifying The Smallest Things, a strong competitive personality with A Mellow Shell But Intesive, Creepy, Sharp, Smart Undercurrents, and a strong competitive personality who Thinks You're All Hilarious.
Or Aerith+Tifa with anyone.
16. Have #2 [Fitz/The Fool] kissed yet? Elaborate.
That, that depends on how you decide to interpret canon. And how you decide to fill in the blanks. Maybe, maybe not, but they've done something much more intimate, both willingly and by accident. No, I'm not talking about sex.
17. Did #4 [Tidus/Yuna] have a happy ending? Do you think one is likely?
lol spoilerz. Also depends on whether you choose to include FFX-2 (I don't).
18. What would make you start shipping #14 [A garif/A viera]?
Some interaction. A tiny bit of good fanfic. ♥
19. If only one could happen, which would you prefer--#2 [Fitz/The Fool] or #6 [Gokudera/Yamamoto]?
I WOULD NEARLY GIVE A KIDNEY FOR GOKUDERA/YAMAMOTO TO BECOME CANON while I'm satisfied with what happened with the other one.
20. You have the power to decide the fate of #10 [Kira/Lacus]. What happens to them?
Some enhanced supersoldier jesuses the living daylights out of him, she's wrong for once in her life. Then they disappear from the story for good. ...I, I'm starting to think I just dislike the characters, this doesn't touch the relationship area at all. Oops.
