Breather post!

I know I don't need to apologize for the unexplained week-long breaks from 100 things posting, but I'm sorry anyway. I've had finals for the past week or so, and then the past two days I couldn't get myself back into the swing of writing the next one. Hopefully I'll be motivated enough to get it up tonight (that's what she said), but in the meantime, have this post as a short breather. :B Also, this is a good opportunity to say hi to [livejournal.com profile] captainporridge, fellow Ladd/Claire shipper and also a cool person, from the regrettably tiny Baccano! friending meme. Hey there, Cap! :B

While I'm here, a brief update on two new fandom things, which both start with A and as such are regrettably ineligible for retroactive addition to my 100 things. The first is Assassins, which Yuki and I got the chance to see a production of on Thursday. Yes, okay, we'd both been huge fans of the songs already, but this was the first time either of us had seen it performed and it was awesome and amazing and nearly-perfect, hnnnng. The only actors I had a problem with were the Balladeer/Oswald and (partially) Zangara. Everyone else was excellent; major props to Booth, Guiteau and the Proprietor especially. And I now feel qualified to consider it a fandom because of all the shipping I came out of it doing. I realize I am probably going to Hell for all this, but dang it, there was so much touching among them! And I am a sucker for crossover pairings, and even though they all appear in the same work they are from different parts of history and never met so it counts. Booth/Oswald OTP man. ;___; Still, this is the only thing I can think of where I actually feel uncomfortable shipping from it. Doesn't stop me, obviously, but still. Thanks, Mr. Sondheim. I think.

Okay yes I said there were two things. The second is Avengers, which I saw with my dad today. Not going to say too much about this one because spoilers, but it was definitely an awesome movie. Perfect dialogue (Joss Whedon ilu ♥), action scenes that actually drew me in (I'm normally pretty indifferent on them), and Loki being a serious cutie. That hair, unf. Ships in that one were Tony/Bruce and Thor/Loki (it is okay because gods are all up ons the whole incest thing). HG also suggested Steve/Thor, ship name: Captain Hammer. I'm down. c:

Okay, that is basically all I have to talk about now because my life is boring. But in case I do not write the next 100 things post tonight, or even if I do, I leave you with this meme that I stole from [livejournal.com profile] mireia_antonina:

uhhh let's see how short I can make this

001. AtLA
002. 3PO/R2
003. Link

[identity profile] vethica.livejournal.com 2012-05-13 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooh, can do! Though I must warn you, I'm not as up on my ATLA as I am on my Korra. But I'll do my best. :D

001. AtLA

Favorite character: I think it's gotta be Sokka, for pretty much the same reasons as I like Bolin. He's cute, he's funny, he's a dork, and also he is quite often the voice of reason.
Least Favorite character: Hmm. I must have had one, but I can't think of any right now. Avatar's characters were basically all great, even the ones I didn't like as people so much. I can not choose. :(
5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): Zukka, Zutaraang, Katoph, Tokka, Zukaang. That is just off the top of my head but I remember quite liking all of those. :D
Character I find most attractive: Sokka with his hair down. Everyone else with their hair down is a close second.
Character I would marry: Dang, Sokka. Perfect marriage material. No contest.
Character I would be best friends with: is this Sokka too help. Also obviously Aang, because Aang is best friends with everyone.
a random thought: I clearly like Sokka too much.
An unpopular opinion: I am pretty sure bypassing Zutara and Kataang with a threesome is unpopular in this fandom. :P
my canon OTP: Sokka/Suki (does that have a smushname?) was very cute. And I suppose I can't not mention Zuko/honor.
Non-canon OTP: Zukka, obvs. So cute together.
most badass character: All of them. Also Toph.
pairing I am not a fan of: Like I said, I don't swing toward Zutara or Kataang, but I can't say I specifically dislike any pairings. At least, not that I remember. :|a
character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): I definitely do not remember enough about the show to answer that.
favourite friendship: Zuko/everyone. Iirc it was so sweet how he gradually became friends with all of the Gaang. ;_;
character I want to adopt or be adopted by: If this isn't straying too far into Korra territory, I'd love to be a Kataang kid. They would just be great parents. :D

I'll put the rest in new comments because this is getting long. @_@

002. 3PO/R2

when or if I started shipping it: Straight from the start of A New Hope. Because come on, they're so married.
my thoughts: married gay robots
What makes me happy about them: Despite all the bickering, they really do care about each other. They care deeply.
What makes me sad about them: It'll never be canon. :P Also, I think R2 might be a little too callous towards 3PO's feelings.
things done in fanfic that annoys me: Do you know, I don't know that I've ever read a 3PO/R2 fic, so I have no idea of the trends. I don't suppose you have any recs. :P
things I look for in fanfic: See above.
My kinks: I sincerely doubt any of my normal kinks apply to a relationship between robots.
Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: I don't think there is anyone else they could get together with. Well, except 3PO/Obi-Wan, of course. (With his double-ended violet lightsaber.)
My happily ever after for them: Just them keeping on like they do now, and getting old and rusting together. ♥

003. Link

How I feel about this character: He is awesome and cute and has nice hair.
All the people I ship romantically with this character: Himself, Zelda, Midna, Colin, Shad, um, SSB people?
My non-romantic OTP for this character: Link/Epona. Guy loves his horse. <3
My unpopular opinion about this character: Hmm. I can't think of one. Do I have one? @_@
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: I would really like a girl Link to happen in one game. Who says the Hero of Time can't be female one of these incarnations?
my het ship: Link/Midna. Man I defy anyone to not ship this, their interactions are perfect.
my fem/slash ship: I don't think I can choose between Link/Colin and Link/Shad. Both of them have such crushes. @_@
my OTP: I'm not sure I have a specific one. I ship Link with everyone equally. Maybe Linkcest counts for this one.
my OT3: I suppose triple Linkcest would be getting greedy. Well, Link/Ashei/Shad just popped into my head and unf that's pretty hot, so I'm going with that.
my cross over ship: SSB counts, right? Because I enjoy Link/Marth, Link/Roy, Link/Ike, Toon Link/Ness, Toon Link/Lucas...
my kink: Linkcest, unfff.
a head canon fact: Link prefers rolling to walking in general. He wishes rolling were a societally accepted form of locomotion.
my rule 63: The same basic characteristics as every other Link, but a girl. Wears green, uses a sword, goes HYAHH HYEHH HYUPP a lot. But a girl.

Well, I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on JCA, so I'll request that for 001. Or Valmont for 003. Either one (or both if you'd like). :D

[identity profile] vethica.livejournal.com 2012-05-13 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I absolutely would like! As you may have noticed JCA is something I absolutely love blathering about. :D Let's do this!

001. JCA

Favorite character: Valmont. He's been my favorite since day one, and not just because of the crush. Well. The crush may have had a lot to do with it. .____.;;
Least Favorite character: It was Shendu for a very long time, but in recent years the guy's kind of somehow grown on me. :\ I'll have to get back to you on that one.
5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): Valmont/Jade, Valmont/Jackie, Valmont/Finn, uh, do I ship anything that doesn't involve Valmont, help. Wait I ship Uncle/Daolon Wong too. Mistletoe~
Character I find most attractive: Well, I've had a crush on Valmont for the past 12 years or so, so, take a wild guess. :P
Character I would marry: Sadly, Valmont is not the marrying kind. @_@ Honestly, I think I'd go with Jackie too. He seems like he'd want to settle down one of these days, and, well, he's a cutie. Not complaining at all.
Character I would be best friends with: I feel like the Enforcers and I would be absolute bros.
a random thought: I am going to marry this show someday.
An unpopular opinion: Jade is really not as awesome as all that. Also, I don't care for much after season 2. And not just for the obvious reason, really.
my canon OTP: Yeah, there's basically no canon pairings in this show. :P
Non-canon OTP: Jade/Valmont, because I apparently enjoy going to hell.
most badass character: Thiiiis might be another "everyone". I feel like Jackie deserves special props though.
pairing I am not a fan of: Let me go check the front page of the JCA section on FFN and I'll tell you. :P Wow, okay, all that told me is that I don't like OC pairings. So I'm just going to agree with you on Jade/Hsi Wu. Definitely not the story of true love the fandom paints it to be.
character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): As I may possibly have expressed, I am so with you on this one. God, V. You were so awesome. Whyyyy.
favourite friendship: This feels like one that I should have a readier answer for. I can not think of a favorite though. :|a Come back to me.
character I want to adopt or be adopted by: I can't say I've ever thought about this before, nor can I think of an answer. Wow it looks like I am a terrible fan news at 11.

[identity profile] mireia-antonina.livejournal.com 2012-05-14 01:27 pm (UTC)(link)
"Mistletoe" indeed~

Agreed on Jade. When you say the "obvious reason" for not caring much after season two, do you mean the dip in the writing quality or what happened to Valmont (...which I guess kind of go together, imo >_> ).

Well, while it's not one of my top favorites, I do enjoy Jade/Valmont myself, so I'd probably be there in hell with you. I might even be in a deeper circle since I'd really like to read a fic pairing them up when she's an adult and he hasn't had some sort of magic anti-aging to keep him young. >_>

About Jade/Hsi Wu...tell me about it. He deceived her to get to his tail, she fell for him, and she was hurt when she found out he was using her. But then she moved on. I mean Jade/Hsi Wu probably has more going for it in canon than most other pairings, but come on, guys: see it for what it was.

[identity profile] vethica.livejournal.com 2012-05-16 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
Well, both of 'em really, but mostly the thing about Valmont. Because, you know, we're talking about me here. .__.;; I suppose they do come from the same place though so let's pretend I meant both.

Oh hot dang son, if you ever find such a fic, you have to let me know, okay? I mostly just ship them as the ages they are in canon, no I don't know how it would work okay. Also sometimes I ship them as kids because they are cute. But I would be so down with your version. :O

I mean, I guess it's more canon than most other things, in the sense that most other things aren't canon. But we're talking like a one, two-day crush based on a false persona here. Not exactly epic love story material.

[identity profile] vethica.livejournal.com 2012-05-13 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
003. Valmont, aka you will be sorry you asked

How I feel about this character: I really, really, reallyreallyreally like him. If this was not obvious. He is my most longstanding crush by far and basically just everything I could ever ask for in a fictional dude. ♥
All the people I ship romantically with this character: Me, Jade, Jackie, Finn, everyone, help
My non-romantic OTP for this character: Valmont/Enforcers brOTP. They are basically his only friends when you think about it. That is sad and adorable at the same time. Sadorable.
My unpopular opinion about this character: Do I have one? Him being hot seems to be the general consensus. :|a
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: That the writers didn't start being dumb about him. :|||||
my het ship: Valmont/Jade. I WOULDN'T SHIP IT IF IT WEREN'T SO CANON OKAY ;_;
my fem/slash ship: Valmont/Jackie. This one more traditionally because it's slash and it's hot. Canon doesn't help here either; can we talk about the wet hug in the water demon episode? Unfffff.
my OTP: Me/going to hell.
my OT3: Do you know, I don't think I have one. My Valmont ships tend to be pretty self-contained.
my cross over ship: Valmont/Pegasus from Yu-Gi-Oh. I came for the superficial similarities (long white hair, suits, richer than God) and stayed for the differences. The age difference is especially hot to me, for whatever reason. Pegasus is only like 24, and if we assume Valmont is in his late 30s I think he would be really weirded out by this kid hitting on him all over the place. Oh god why will no one ever write this it would be so good. ;_;
my kink: Pretty sure the guy gave me half my kinks. Most prominent, obviously, is possession, but there's also long hair/ponytails, snappy dressing, arrogant dudes gettin' all vulnerable and stuff, British accents...
a head canon fact: Help how do I choose one, I have so many. ;_; Okay, let's go with the ever-popular sexuality one. He's bi, in basically equal proportion, and has had sex with both men and women, but on the whole he really doesn't like sex that much. Not asexual, just, not that into it. There's usually better things he could be doing. This applies to masturbation as well; he won't do it unless he really needs to. Stuff got awkward there when he was possessed wow I am gross and need to stop. Maybe I should have just gone with my headcanon first name for him. WELL TOO LATE NOW
my rule 63: I honestly cannot see lady!Valmont being any different from dude!Valmont. Maybe she'd wear a skirt or something? Idk idk.

[identity profile] mireia-antonina.livejournal.com 2012-05-14 01:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, here's the thing: I got back into Jackie Chan Adventures at thirteen. There were three thoughts going through my head:
1.) Wow this show is so cool!
2.) Why did I stop watching this?
3.) ...That Valmont sure is hot. >_>
I'm pretty sure it's no coincidence that we both like some of the same things (snappy dressing, arrogant dudes gettin' all vulnerable and stuff, British accents...)

My non-romantic OTP for this character: Valmont/Enforcers brOTP. They are basically his only friends when you think about it. That is sad and adorable at the same time. Sadorable.
...That's true. D:

Re: your headcanon - there was this one fic I read a long time ago that involves the, um, possession part. It wasn't pretty (though that was the intent). What is your headcanon first name for him?

[identity profile] vethica.livejournal.com 2012-05-16 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
That is almost my experience (well, I was fourteen), except I had already been into him the first time. So when I got back into watching the show I was fully expecting to have a good laugh about how ridiculous my taste had been. And then it was like, nope. Still hot. @_@ So then I went back to having a crush on him forever. Also, I highly appreciate our apparently many shared kinks. You are clearly a woman of taste.

Wait, someone else has written this? :O Would you by any chance happen to have a link to this fic? I am so happy that other people share my brain's weird perversions you have no idea. :D Also my headcanon first name is Niles. I saw someone use it in an IMDB review once and I'm not sure where they got it from (is it canon somewhere?) but I adopted it. He looks like a Niles.

[identity profile] captainporridge.livejournal.com 2012-05-13 10:50 am (UTC)(link)
Hey hey, Veth! (Haha, how should I be shortening that...?) Give me for Baccano:
character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another):
For Ladd or Claire (can't decide...). My unpopular opinion about this character:
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon:

As for myself on those topics:
- I really have no idea why they put in that Japanese tourist in the light novel. It just felt like terrible writing to me... although it is Baccano so I suppose he'll turn up being important somehow later. As I get further in the novels I feel like the new characters are kinda dumb and don't need to be there... oh well.

- I don't believe Claire is either a train freak or someone who kills for fun. I think his train killings were some of the first killings he's done on an actual train and then he just kinda rolled with the whole Railtracer idea, now using it as a nickname to scare people. (Ex. Nicholas, he knew about the Pussyfoot events even if he might not have known about the Rail Tracer story, so it'd still scare him a lot more to take him on a train than to threaten him normally). But he's not exactly calling himself the Rail Tracer to random strangers who don't know about it already (even if he does introduce himself as Vino). I think he just kills for jobs or his own sense of justice, but he's not someone who'd kill for little reason - ex. "you touched Chane, I'll kill you!!", no, I think it's more proportional - he may act like he might kill you but it's actually just scaring tactics so you'll be good next time.

To me this is all clear from various events/dialogue in the canon but a lot of people seem to have missed things like that... some people think Claire was killing every passenger he saw for example. Seeing the anime first, I can kinda see how people could mix things up, but if you go on to read the novels I have no idea how you could keep those ideas.

I also don't think Claire knows the future or can actually make things happen by wishing/thinking. I think it's a combination of skill, being able to read people, and luck. He's just so confident in himself that it seems like it might be a "If I wish for it, it'll happen" but he actually has the skills to back things up, and that's what he relies on instead of fate. That being said, as a blind person myself, damn I want his eyesight....

And also... I was really against this idea of "Claire can basically read Chane's mind even without gestures" but damn, canon made this true. Sigh. But then again, I do think he just has really good people-reading skills and infers a lot from Chane's personality too.

- All I want from canon is MORE. I started saving a lot of the dialogue/description that goes along with them so I can better understand their skills/speaking styles and reactions. But I'm not through with the novels yet.

Hey! :D Veth is fine; that's what I usually go by. Sometimes Vethie. c:

Oh dang, your answers are way more detailed than any I could give, and I think you know the characters much better than I do. D: I agree with all your stuff you said though. Do people really blow Claire out of proportion like that? He's just a dude, dude. The thing about him is he's as awesome as he is without anything supernatural going on. And he totally doesn't go around killing everyone randomly; that's Ladd's schtick. Tsk.

Okay let me try this. For 001. Baccano!, I'll link you to when I did this meme on tumblr several months ago (http://vethica.tumblr.com/post/14271198424/baccano). Some of my answers have shifted since then, but they're all basically the same. And my answer to your specific question remains none, they're all awesome. :B

I'll fill out the whole thing for Ladd and Claire because, well, it'll be fun. :D You are welcome to just skip to the questions you asked though.

003. Ladd

How I feel about this character: I love him so much. He is just so fun to watch, and he really loves what he does, and he loves his girl, and and. He's just a cutie. Who kills people.
All the people I ship romantically with this character: Claire, Graham, Lua.
My non-romantic OTP for this character: Ladd/Firo/Isaac prison bros. :D
My unpopular opinion about this character: I don't think he actually does want to kill Lua. I mean, I guess in the sense that he wants to kill everyone, but I feel like that whole thing about saving her for last is a convenient way to ensure that he'll never have to. I mean, how long would it take to kill everyone else in the world? And if he did manage to kill everyone else in the world, well, all bets are off anyway. :B (is this even an unpopular opinion i do not know)
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: I wish Ladd/Claire had been more canon than an alternate ending in a game. :P
my het ship: Ladd/Lua. He really does love her, and I feel like despite how she's all, well, Lua, she totally has him whipped. Would be a fun dynamic to explore.
my fem/slash ship: Ladd/Claire forever. My babies. My psycho killer babies. ♥
my OTP: See above. Also doubles as my OTP for the whole show. Also doubles as babieees.
my OT3: Ladd/Graham/Claire, aka ughh I wish I could write so I could write this. I have much headcanons for it and everything.
my cross over ship: I haven't thought about this one. I am sure there are a lot of dudes from other things who'd go well with him though. Let me think about.
my kink: Dominance issues.
a head canon fact: He's banging Graham on the side, because hey, it can't hurt to indulge the kid a little, and Lua's 0k with Ladd having other sexual relationships as long as the two of them are still exclusively romantic. I swear I have headcanons that are not about sex okay. Just... not for Ladd. D:
my rule 63: Basically the same in personality, but weirder to watch because ladytype characters don't usually get so worked up about the violence and killing. Probably would be less attractive to me, but maybe just because I like dudes more. I bet there are a lot of interesting genderswap stuff you could do with him; I'm just not the one to do it.

Claire post coming up~

[identity profile] captainporridge.livejournal.com 2012-05-13 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't like Graham much, actually I find him really annoying, but if you want fic I cen do my best to write something hahahaha. Especially if you give me ideas. I want to get back into the habit of writing fanfiction.

"Character I would marry: I guess Jacuzzi. Most of the others are not stable enough. :|a"
C'mon, Claire's totally the marriable type! At least you'd be both rich and safe.
(I told this to my wife and she said "hahah, and Jacuzzi's the stable one??")

I don't like Chane much either, but she's more on the "meh" side of dislike. I don't find her annoying at least. I'm the sorta guy who ships any character with any other character as long as I like both of 'em. So typically the two characters I like the most end up being the ones that are my favourite pairing.

[identity profile] vethica.livejournal.com 2012-05-14 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
No dude, it's totally okay that you find Graham annoying. That is exactly how I felt about him for the first few months, and then he kept getting all up in my face being HEY VETH, I'M CUTE AREN'T I, I'M PRETTY CUTE HUH, LOOK AT THIS FANART OF ME, LOOK AT THIS FANART OF ME AND BOSS LADD, WHY DON'T YOU COSPLAY ME HUH VETH, until I just went okay fine you're cute shut up already. So now I like him... somehow. :|a That is actually basically the reason I started shipping the threesome. More other dudes = greater chance Graham's mouth will be occupied. :B My point is you do not have to write me fic, do not worry. But if you wanted to, a threesome wouldn't go amiss.

Jacuzzi's totally stable! Okay well, maybe not his job, that may not be the most stable job to have. But he's not, y'know, insane, like a lot of the other dudes. And he'd be a good husband. ♥ I am sure Claire would take to the married life but I am just... not into him. I am sorry man. You can have him if you want. :B

I don't have a problem with Chane actually, she's a good kid. I just wish she had a bit more life experience so she didn't rush right into a relationship with Claire. She only likes him because he's basically the first person to ever show her affection. Bit sad really. :( Also I appreciate your shipping philosophy! It is how I tend to ship stuff in a lot of fandoms too. :D

[identity profile] captainporridge.livejournal.com 2012-05-14 08:41 am (UTC)(link)
If the crack scenario is any indication, Claire also needs a bit more life experience... I keep wondering how much of things is actually Claire and how much of it is actually from growing up in the circus. I was thinking all his exaggerated gestures and expressions are probably from the circus.

[identity profile] vethica.livejournal.com 2012-05-15 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
I hadn't specifically considered it before, but that... makes perfect sense, actually. :D

[identity profile] vethica.livejournal.com 2012-05-14 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
Wow sorry for the delay, I had to leave for a few hours. I will make this post and then read your reply to my first one and then hopefully answer your messages! @___@

003. Claire

How I feel about this character: I am not as big of a fan as everyone else seems to be! He is not that interesting to me as a character and I think it's kind of creepy how he proposes to all the girls. He makes Ladd happy, though, so I can't dislike him too much. c:
All the people I ship romantically with this character: Ladd, um, Graham I guess, sometimes Luck and/or Firo, ?
My non-romantic OTP for this character: Him and his brothers. BrOT4. c:
My unpopular opinion about this character: I don't like Claire or Claire/Chane that much, which seems to be pretty darn unpopular.
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: Ladd/Claire becoming canon, as I said. Also I wish he were more interesting to me, though I'm not sure I know how that would happen.
my het ship: None really, though in my defense he only really interacts with one girl and that's Chane. I prefer him with dudes though. Yes he is straight in my headcanon, but he makes a lot of exceptions. :P
my fem/slash ship: I believe I have made my love for Ladd/Claire fairly clear. :B
my OTP: See above.
my OT3: Ladd/Graham/Claire, as mentioned. ._.;;
my cross over ship: I honestly have no idea here. :|a
my kink: I do not know this either, probably because I don't think of him in terms of sexytimes a lot.
a head canon fact: He can't drive. Never learned. Why do you think he spends so much time on trains?
my rule 63: Well, Claire is a girl's name already. :P She probably wouldn't be a conductor. Could girls be conductors? Probably not. So she would need another way to get on trains.

I kind of think of Claire as like... he gets more ridiculous every time he shows up in canon. Instead of finding it as dumb I find it as funny. That's all there is to it, I guess. Plus his English voice is great.

"Yes he is straight in my headcanon, but he makes a lot of exceptions."
That's the same in my headcanon... Also my headcanon is "Chane doesn't care about any of that either". I've read a couple Claire/Chane/Rachel fics that made that threesome idea pretty interesting.

My headcanon fact... I think Claire probably treats the Gandors more like brothers but Luck in particular treats Claire more like a stranger/someone unrelated. So their almost-incest doesn't get awkward? Because Claire is the only one of them who leaves for long periods of time and is unreliable? Because Claire's just adopted anyway, so he doesn't count? Because Luck just treats most people like that? Dunno why. : Þ

It is cool man. He just rubs me the wrong way, that is all. It's not like I hate him or anything. :P Also his English voice is great, though to be fair, so is everyone else's. baccano y u haev such a great dub

Aw yeah headcanon bros! \o/ I... actually think Claire/Chane would be a lot more interesting to me if I could see them having threesomes once in a while. No chance of linking to any of those fics, is there? <_<

The way you see the characters continues to be beautiful. I can see any and all of those reasons making sense for Luck, though I'd like to lean toward "he treats everyone like that". Let's face it, the guy's kind of socially awkward. :P

Yeah, I only even tried the dub because lately my eyesight's making it so that I can't focus enough to read subs, usually I wouldn't bother... what a great stroke of luck for discovering Baccano's dub though!

To be honest, I just do a category search for "Claire" and see what comes up hahaha. I'm having a hard time reading anything right now so I'm not sure I can handle all the scrolling that searching involves, but here's one I found fast:

Oh dang, that fic was nice. I am totally going to have to look for more because suddenly I ship it really hard. :D

Finals. They do that to motivation. :c

Digimon for 001? Or Avengers; you pick.

Don't they just? :( But the bright side is that now I do not have school for 4 more months! And when I start up again it will be in Japan. So. There's that. :B (How are you dude btw? I am sorry for not commenting on your dreamwidth; I'm bad enough at catching up with LJ in a timely manner. D:)

Ooh, things I was hoping people would ask! I'll try to answer them both, if that is okay with you. :D

001. Digimon (I am sorry this is going to be mostly Adventure and 02, as I have the most feels about them)

Favorite character: Help I'm falling down all these great characters. D: When I did the 30 day meme I had Gatomon/Tailmon as my favorite, and I think that's true. She was the one I connected with the most on my first watch. You can see my original post on the matter (http://vethica.livejournal.com/102761.html) for more stuff I said about why I like her and also a cute picture. :D Out of the humans, I think my favorite right now is Jou, because, jooouuuu.
Least Favorite character: I love all of them man. ;____; Maybe Tagiru? Not a huge TBHWLTT fan in general, so I'm probably biased, but he's definitely my least favorite goggleboy.
5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): Taiora, Taito, Daiken, giant Adventure/02 OT12, honestly every single pairing except Sorato, Kenshida
Character I find most attractive: Myotismon/Vamdemon was my first crush ever in my life, so I think I'd be remiss not listing him here. I am also attracted to 02 Jou. Dat hair. And uh I think Hawkmon's English voice is pretty hot. I would say not to judge me but you already are.
Character I would marry: Whoops I think this is Jou again!
Character I would be best friends with: Miyako and I would be the best friends ever. We would have so much fun fangirling and squeeing over stuff together. I bet she likes slash.
a random thought: I want there to be a gogglegirl sometime! I am in fact trying to design my own. Her name is Tasuko.
An unpopular opinion: I dunno how unpopular this is, but I think a lot of the jokes in the dub were genuinely funny. They were just a) overshadowed by the preponderance of bad ones, and b) often severely the wrong tone for the situation. A lot of the stuff in the Apocalymon episodes (for example) was hilarious, it just didn't fit a serious series finale. :( If there had been both a serious dub and a gag dub, I think life would have been a lot better.
my canon OTP: Taiora, at least for Adventure. :P Okay okay um, out of the few pairings that did end up confirmed canon, I'm fond of Kenyako. Takato/Juri (Jukato?) was also really sweet.
Non-canon OTP: Fine I guess Taiora goes here. And the OT12. OT12 for life man. also kenshida
most badass character: Again, I can't pick. All of them had their moments in one way or another.
pairing I am not a fan of: SORATO YOU CAN GO STEP ON MULTIPLE LEGOS OKAY >:|
character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): I think they really dropped the ball on Sora in 02. I get that they were trying to have her explore her feminine side, but between taking up ikebana and dropping soccer in favor of tennis, we've really got no indication that she ever used to be "one of the guys" at all. And then she grows up to be a fashion designer? There is no way anyone who wore a hat like that ever had the slightest interest in fashion. I mean, really.
favourite friendship: I really loved Daisuke and Ken's growing friendship, even platonically. A lot of the kid/partner friendships were also really awesome. ♥
character I want to adopt or be adopted by: Hmmm. If I adopt all of them then it will be weird when they are in a twelvesome. :( Do Digimon partners count? Because I would love a Gomamon. :D

Wait, do people not like Joe or something? Because he's fantastic, and he grows up into a really great guy and-
/does not compute
I really love the dub myself, personally. (And I feel like the latter two of the first four seasons, Tamers and Frontier, got off a lot lighter in terms of random mood-killing than Adventureverse did.) But yeah, some of the potentially best lines at some of the worst times.
Also, that comment on Sora's hat. skhadfsjodfh. That is. Possibly my favourite complaint about the 02 epilogue I've seen yet.

EDIT: also because I only noticed the other part of your comment after tunnel-vision-ing onto "DIGIMON YAY," I am fine. A little bit more directionless than I'd like to be at the moment, but doing well and looking forward to making some great music in a few days.

Sadly, I think he tends to get overlooked in fandom as a whole, but the corners where I hang out seem to have several Jou appreciators. c: If that was in response to the part about judging me, though, that was mostly for Hawkmon and Myotismon. Because. Well. @_@

Sadly, I can't speak to Tamers and Frontier as I've never actually watched them in Japanese. I should... probably do that one of these days. And if the dubs are as non-cringeworthy as you say, maybe I should watch those again too! :D Also, I am glad someone else appreciates my thoughts on Sora vis-à-vis fashion. My boyfriend suggested that we could forgive them if the kimonos Sora designed could also be worn as hats. :B

Ugh I hear you on directionlessness. I am so glad I managed to fall into an internship at the last minute otherwise I would have nothing to do this summer. D: I hope you find something good too. And good luck with your music! I am always so jealous of you musical types. @_@

... but he's one of the best. Whyyyy Digimon fandom. :c

They were cringeworthy at some points, but I remember in Tamers at least (seen it more recently), they did manage to recognise the scenes that you really shouldn't stick tacky jokes anywhere near. Still got the lull destruction and over-the-top jokes, just... not in the same way as in the earlier series, if I remember them correctly. (I also really liked Frontier's dub music! It just felt like it gave the show a real personality, though Bokomon and Neemon are freaking obnoxious as all get out and manage to kill the mood everywhere. /ranty rant) I also think they handled some scenes better than the original!

Thanks! Rehearsals start tomorrow, and I'm really curious what we're going to get.

001. Avengers

Favorite character: While I love them all, I think Bruce has to take this one. He definitely had my favorite character arc, and Mark Ruffalo's performance didn't hurt any. I also enjoy Loki even though he is evil because he is cute and a giant troll with great dialogue.
Least Favorite character: Strangely enough the answer to that is none.
5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): Tony/Bruce, Thor/Loki, Steve/Thor, Phil/Steve, Steve/Tony, things that are not just slash I swear, really
Character I find most attractive: Loki is a serious cutie with hot hair. I would be all over that.
Character I would marry: Steve, on the grounds that he has the least personality problems, and would also pretty much be the textbook perfect husband. All them old-fashioned values. :D
Character I would be best friends with: I am not at all in the league to be best friends with any of them, but if I were, having Tony as a BFF would rule so hard.
a random thought: I bet Thor gets serious bedhead.
An unpopular opinion: Not having ventured very far into the fandom yet, I'm not sure what the popular opinions are. Has anything I said here gone against them? @_@
my canon OTP: I feel like the ones I listed were pretty canon tbh. Also I believe the only canon pairings we got were Tony/Pepper and Phil/A Cellist. So.
Non-canon OTP: That'd have to be Tony/Bruce. They drive off in the same car. Come on now.
most badass character: This is going to be another "all of them" one. I can just feel it. Of course, with the Avengers, I'd say that's a bit of a given.
pairing I am not a fan of: Tony/Pepper. I really didn't see much chemistry between them, at least in this movie (I didn't see Iron Man 2, so can't speak to that).
character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): I'd say they improved most of them from the comics actually. :D
favourite friendship: Tony/Bruce. Yes, even if they don't get together. Tony is the first one to really treat Bruce like a person and a friend, and I love how he helps him accept himself. Plus the whole bonding over science thing.
character I want to adopt or be adopted by: I can't imagine being a member of a superhero's family would be too incredibly good for one's health (though it would be pretty awesome). Well, if I adopted Thor and Loki I would at least get the pleasure of knocking their heads together and telling them to behave. Might put a damper on the whole being all over Loki thing though.

Oh man, I just want to ship all the things in this movie. But I haven't been very far into the fandom myself... I know Thor/Loki is kind of an issue in some places, on the grounds of "incest is bad" vs. "have you ever read mythology?"

Also, have you heard the "Stark Spangled Banner" ship name? Because I'm not much of an OT3 person, but that name is just. It's so. It's wonderful??

[identity profile] vethica.livejournal.com 2012-05-16 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
It's okay, all I've dipped into the fandom for is fanart (/cm/ delivers!) and a brief peek at the kink meme. There is so much good fanart though unf, I can share if you want. But you should ship all the things regardless. c: Also yeah, incest pairings do tend to become an issue, but I'm not sure the anti crowd has too many legs to stand on here, as it is debatably canon. :P Besides I think people should ship what they want to anyway. And not just because I like incest pairings. Really.

...oh man. Oh man. Stark Spangled Banner. I. I don't think I can ship anything else anymore, in any fandom, ever. It's so perfect. ;____;

[identity profile] fujicori.livejournal.com 2012-05-16 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
No thanks. I'm more on the prowl for good screencaps of Loki than anything, for cosplay purposes. /spent way too much time prowling tumblr tags in the past few days, uuugh
I don't really get ship wars, personally, especially in canons with so many reboots that AU is in itself canon! Pretty sure most superheroes fall into that category.

It's so beautiful, and I'm giving that ship much more serious thought than I would otherwise just because of that name.

003. Wooper. If wooper counts. Because I do not know if "wooop" means yes or no.

[identity profile] vethica.livejournal.com 2012-05-14 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
Uh.

003. Wooper

How I feel about this character: It is one of my top six or so favorite Pokémon and possibly the cutest Pokémon to exist. Also it has no arms. So yes, I like it.
All the people I ship romantically with this character: I guess whatever I breed it with?
My non-romantic OTP for this character: Wooper/Taichi Yagami (http://asktaichiyagami.tumblr.com/post/22359902193).
My unpopular opinion about this character: Everyone seems to like Wooper so I do not know. :(
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: I think it would be cool if Ash would have had one. :B
my het ship: I have no idea how to even begin answering this.
my fem/slash ship: This either.
my OTP: Uh.
my OT3: Image
my cross over ship: Wooper/Rin Tezuka.
my kink: That ain't right, dude.
a head canon fact: Does the stuff you write in Pokédex count because that is my headcanon for every Pokémon.
my rule 63: It has fewer head finnies.
