feilyn mentioned the Orochimaru cameo in the Sasuke/Itachi fight, and I had to reread (30 minutes of my life I'll never get back). I did, however, notice something hilarious. Itachi? Paints his toenails. Yeah.
Naruto meme gacked from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
the_sun_is_up :
1. Who is your favorite Naruto character(s)?
Kakashi, Sakura, Tsunade.
2. What is your favorite pairing?
Kakashi/Sakura
3. Are you a Naruto yaoi or hentai fan?
What about the het? I am all over that like white on rice. And I would take a generous side of femslash with that.
4. Ever cosplayed Naruto characters? If so, who, where and how many times?
Yep, Karin. (photos will be up later, when the internet situation is done kicking my ass.
5. List your collection of Naruto junk and merchandise, if any.
Sakura and Kakashi keychains, a wallscroll of the Konoha ladies, and one volume of the manga I got at half off.
6. Have you ever felt that you were destined to be with a Naruto character? If so who?
...um, no.
I don't think Kishimoto could create a character to deserve me, honestly. Kakashi would be welcome to try and change my mind, though.
7. NaruHina or KibaHina?
Naruto/Hinata, on the logic that Hinata should get whatever she wants.
8. SasuSaku or SasuNaru?
What did Sakura do to deserve such a Sophia's Choice? She deserves better than either Naruto or, certainly, Sasuke.
9. Which team is your favourite?
Team 7. Although team 10 does have a place in my heart.
10. Do you support the Tobito theory? (Tobi=Obito)
I would like this because of the potential Kakashi angst, and because we might get more flashbacks, and see more of Kushina and Minato, except that it would mean that there HAS NEVER EVER EVER been an Uchiha who wasn't evil for various values of.
11. Do you support the 'Yondaime is Naruto's father' theory?
Old meme is old.
12. Your favorite Akatsuki member(s)?
Konan, Itachi, Kisame.
13. Are you pro-Sasuke or anti-Sasuke?
Pretty anti. I'd like him a lot more if he either actually suffered for his choices, or if they made any sense at all. Preferably both.
14. Have you seen all Naruto episodes so far (including Shippuuden and fillers)?
Certainly not. I've probably see about fifteen episodes total. I'll wait until I see something I really like in the manga, and then watch it with pretty animation. Also, I did enjoy the 'get Kakashi's mask' filler.
15. Have you read all the chapters so far?
Yep.
16. Do you believe Naruto has ADD?
Possibility. I think it's more likely his brain is kinda scrambled from lack of attention and the preservatives in the food that he eats.
17. Sub or dub?
Sub. I like to see a show in it's original language no matter what, but Naruto's voice is particularly annoying.
18. Pro-Sakura or Anti-Sakura?
So pro-Sakura. In fact, she so clearly suffers from Kishimoto's fail, that I can't believe people who go 'I hate her' and not 'I hate Kishimoto's writing' or 'I hate how Kishimoto writes girls.'
19. Tobi = annoying or funny?
Honestly, I wasn't paying that much attention when he was onscreen.
20. Do you even know who Tobi is?
The person Sasuke's currently bending over for?
21. Gai = sexy beast or ugly nerd?
Both.
22. Which character would be the best crossdresser?
Deidara, Haku, Sai.
23. Rock Lee = weird or awesome?
Like Gai, he is both.
24. Which character would be best OOC? Who and how?
I kinda like Sex God Itachi.
25. Do you like Naruto fanfics?
Naruto fanfics are why I read the manga.
26. Do you write Naruto fanfics?
Hell, yes.
27. Do you like lemons?
HELL YES! Nothing I like more than a really well done smut piece.
28. Do your parents know any Naruto characters?
I think my mom knows enough to know when I'm talking about something she doesn't know.
29. Have you watched the Naruto Abridged Series?
I watched four minutes and quit before the creators foaming, raging, hatred of Sakura made me punch out my computer screen.
30. Have you seen The Naruto Ultimate Fanflashes?
Nope.
31. Have you ever got someone else hooked on Naruto?
Fortunately, I don't bear the shame of that... oh, wait. Umm, sort of? I think [lj name] is watching so he knows what I'm bitching about.
32. Have you ever been drawing Naruto in school and have someone randomly say "WOAH! You like Naruto too!?"
No. I'm kinda afraid someone is going to recognize the Kakashi and Sakura on my bag and come to unflattering assumptions about me.
33. Have you ever been in class drawing Naruto and the teacher comes up to you and says "WTF is this?"
No.
34. Has Naruto affected your school life and grades?
I think the shame of that would kill me. In two weeks, it should be Naruto fanfics helping keep me sane.
35. Are you broke thanks to Naruto?
No, I'm broke thanks to killing my computer.
36. Do you want to read Icha Icha Paradise?
A world of yes. Personallly I have the suspicion that they're more in there besides just crazy hot smut, but even if it was just crazy hot smut... yeah, I'd read that. I mean, at least one. Otherwise, I think the never-going-to-be-resolved relationship between the protagonist and his violent, medically inclined, chest, frenemy would just get too frustrating to read, you know?
37. Do you support the 'Yondaime is the Akatsuki leader' theory?
That would make no sense whatsoever.
38. Do you draw Naruto fanart? If so, count how many there is in your gallery.
I have no art skiz.
39. Is Sasuke still sexy in his second stage of the cursed seal?
Yeah, about as sexy as a strung out j-rocker after a three day bender. (Which is to say, no, no, no.)
40. Do you have a Naruto OC?
You mean, like Kakashi and Sakura's children, they're powers and angsty, violent story arcs? Not at all.
41. Looking back at some of your answers, do you think Naruto has taken over your life?
I wouldn't say so. It's certainly my current fandom thought.
And now, A Naruto Shipping Meme: Crack Edition.
(Actually, this is a time when I really like Naruto's nice big cast. Because you jut can't do memes like this with Saiyuki, and it would be damn hard with Avatar.)
Name six ships you love:
1. Kakashi/Kushina
2. Temari/Gaara
3. Itachi/Anko
4. Karin/Seigetsu
5. Sakura/Gaara
6. Sakura/Kakashi
Name three ships you used to like but don't anymore:
7. Deidara/Sakura
8. Anko/Ikibi
9. Hinata/Kiba
Name three ships you don't like:
10. Temari/Kankarou
11. Iruka/Kakashi
12. Kakashi/Sasuke
Name two ships that have piqued your interest
13. Pein/Konan
14. Anko/Orochimaru
1.) Why do you dislike #11 so much? (Kakashi/Iruka)
Besides my innate dislike of slash, Kakakshi and Iruka seem to have polar oppostie worldviews and not in the interesting, leads to conflict/getting closer type. That scene with them in the Hokage's office is like:
Iruka: Your values and how you express them are the complete opposite of anything that would make me respect you.
Kakashi: ...and that's why I'm a jounin and you're not.
2.) Who is someone you know that ships #13? (Pein/Konan)
the_sun_is_up .
3.) What would be your ideal scenario for couple #3 (Anko/Iruka)
Something the emphasizes how straight-laced and out of his depth Iruka is (yet all about the hotness that is Anko.)
4.) Which is your favorite episode for #1 (Kushina/Kakashi)? Try to pick just one.
Well, considering that we've never even seen them in a panel together....
5.) How long have you been following couple #6? (Sakura/Kakashi)
Since before I got into Naruto. I was all smug listening to enderxenocide deal with the agony of being a Naruto fan, and was like, 'like hell I'm getting into THAT' and then read "Duty Before Honor" got plotbunnied, and realized that I should probably read some of the canon before writing fanfic.
6.) What's the story with #8? What made you stop liking them/caring? (Anko/Ibiki)
They're too much alike. I think it would be more entertaining to either put her with someone less damaged (Iruka) or way, way more (Itachi).
7.) Which ship do you prefer - #2 or #4 (Gaara/Temari or Karin/Suiguistu.)
Karin/Suiguistu. Because I think the hate!sex would be epic, and Karin is super, super hot, especially if you focus on the bite marks and prison warden aspect and not her fangirl crush of Sasuke.
8.) You have the power to make one ship non existent. Choose from #10 or #12 (Temari/Kanakarou or Sasuke/Kakashi).
Sasuke/Kakashi in a heartbeat. First of all, I can't quite see Kakashi as anything but straight (like, I think he got mentally scarred that one time he came across one of Sakura's yaoi manga, which you know she has), secondly, I have a hard time buying Sasuke with a sex drive, and thirdly, Sasuke couldn't deserve Kakashi if he crawled across broken glass, and fourth, I think of all of Team 7, Kakashi is the only one who HASN'T forgiven Sasuke, and really won't just let the fact that he betrayed Konoha and his friends slide. You notice how it's always Sakura and Naruto talking about saving Sasuke? Personally, I think Kakashi is like, 'you dug your grave, Sasuke, now die in it.'
9.) What interests you about #14? (Anko/Orochimaru)
The innate sexuality of the curse marks, how strong Anko is (boyo made a mistake casting her aside), how loyal Anko is to Konoha now (I really wonder how that developed, because I know Orochimaru didn't foster it, and I bet Anko was a hellion no one paid attention to as a child.)
10.) When did you stop liking #7? (Deidara/Sakura)
When I realized that there was only one characterization of Deidara I like, and only one person writing it.
11.) Did your waning interest in #9 kill your interest in the show? (Kiba/Hinata)
Since I have a hard time noticing Kiba/Hinata, my waning interest really isn't so much of a factor, yanno?
12.) What's a song that reminds you of #5? (Shikamaru/Temari)
Hard Sun - Eddie Veddar (this is also a Kakashi/Sakura song, to my mind.)
"When I walk beside her, I am the better man,
when I look to leave her, I always stagger back again.
Once I built an Ivory Tower, so I could worship from above."
13.) Which of these ships do you love the most?
Kakashi/Sakura OTP 4 eva OMG!!11!!11111!!!!!
There was a reason that ship is on my crackship meme, and it's so I could answer this questions.
14.) Which do you dislike the most?
I'm pretty spiteful on the subject of Sasuke/Kakashi.
15.) If you could have any of these two pairings double date, who would it be?
Sakura/Gaara and Karin/Suigetsu.
Because I am not sure WHAT would happen, but it would be hilarious and violent and I'd want ringside seats, even though that would probably be a very dangerous place to be.
16.) Have #2 kissed yet? Elaborate if you'd like. (Temari/Gaara)
Yes. I have no doubt, that when Gaara was a wee tot, before Shakaju got out of control, or they realized how dangerous he was, or whatever his demon's name is, big sis Temari would give him sweet goodnight kisses before bed.
17.) Did #4 have a happy ending? If the show hasn't ended yet, do you think a happy ending is likely? (Karin/Suigetsu)
A world of no. Unfortunately, since they are both a.) bad guys and b.) not Sasuke, they are both going to wind up so, so dead.
But even if they were to live, they wouldn't live happily ever after with each other.
18.) What would make you start shipping #14?
If Orochimaru were hotter. I mean, Anko's a delightful little spit fire, she deserves someone to match her hotness (like Itachi.)
19.) If only one could happen, which would you prefer - #2 or #6? (Temari/Gaara or Kakashi/Sakura)
As long as both Kakashi and Sakura live through the end of the series I DON'T want them to end up together. I can't imagine Kishimoto having the skill to write them together without undoing all of Sakura's growth, and that would make me kill something so hardcore.
20.) You have the power to decide the fate of #10. What happens to them? (Temari/Kankarou)
Temari goes off and marries Shikamaru, to finish the long process of beating the jackass out of him.
Kankarou pines.
I mentioned a while ago doing this for Avatar:
Name six ships you love:
1. Zuko/Katara
2. Suki/Sokka
3. Mai/Ty Lee/Azula
4. Sokka/Katara
5. Iroh/Jun
6. Pakkun/Kanna
Name three ships you used to like but don't anymore:
7. Toph/Aang
8. Toph/Sokka
9. Aang/Katara
Name three ships you don't like:
10. Katara/Aang
11. Mai/Zuko
12. Toph/Aang
Name two ships that have piqued your interest
13. Haru/Azula
14. Hama/Kanna
1.) Why do you dislike #11 so much? (Mai/Zuko)
Because I feel that they never really knew each other, and I think that Mai deserved better than more of the same (which dating the Fire Lord would be - I mean, if she hated being expected to behave 'properly' from her parents, I highly doubt she would like the scrutiny that comes with being a Fire Lady, plus she'd suck at it) and I think Zuko deserves better than to be with someone who doesn't know the real him, and is in love with the person in her head.
2.) Who is someone you know that ships #13? (Haru/Azula)
That would be smillaraaq.
3.) What would be your ideal scenario for couple #3 (Mai/Ty Lee/Azula)
That would be back when they were kicking asses as the dangerous ladies, or if the Beach hadn't had Zuko in in.
4.) Which is your favorite episode for #1 (Katara/Zuko)? Try to pick just one.
The season one finale and The Southern Raiders.
5.) How long have you been following couple #6? (Pakku/Kanna)
Since the waterbending master. Although it was always more of idle interest than truly following them.
6.) What's the story with #8? What made you stop liking them/caring? (Toph/Sokka)
Just about every author who writes this feels the need to either talk trash about Suki or flat out state that Sokka didn't REALLY love her. After this happens a couple times, I lost all patience with the pairing.
7.) Which ship do you prefer - #2 or #4 (Sokka/Suki or Sokka/Katara.)
Sokka/Suki, definitively. Sokka/Katara is more of a 'wow, this is hot and wrong' ship that I totally don't take seriously.
8.) You have the power to make one ship non existent. Choose from #10 or #12 (Toph/Aang or Katara/Aang).
This isn't even a choice. Katara/Aang, and I would offer sexual favors to make that happen.
9.) What interests you about #14? (Hama/Kanna)
Hama is badass, and there is no one else who it really makes sense to pair her with. Plus, they were totally giggling together in the flashback.
10.) When did you stop liking #7? (Toph/Aang)
First, fandom decided Toph could do no wrong, and then Bryke backed them up. (Seriously, seeing Toph sandbend made me want to punch a hole in something. Not because it doesn't make sense, but because everyone else worked for their elite bending skills except her and...)
Then Aang became a whiny brat who got everything and paid nothing.
Basically, I hated one and kinda disliked the other, which pretty much killed any interest I might've had in the ship.
11.) Did your waning interest in #9 kill your interest in the show? (Mai/Zuko)
Actually, considering how much I don't really go for that pairing, it bothered me much, much less than I expected it too.
12.) What's a song that reminds you of #5? (Iroh/Jun)
Low Place Like Home - Sneaker Pimps
13.) Which of these ships do you love the most?
Katara/Zuko. Not only are these my two favorite characters, every single interaction they have is scotching, whether they're fighting each other or fighting back to back.
14.) Which do you dislike the most?
Aang/Katara. I was neutral to bored with this pairing from the middle of season one on, but it wasn't until the last six episodes that the thought of the awesome Katara ending up with this immature child who will NEVER be able to support her or make any hard choice, ever, make me seeth with rage.
15.) If you could have any of these two pairings double date, who would it be?
Zuko/Katara and Azula/Haru. Because you have estranged siblings and two people who sort of used to date, and it would be tense and awkward and 'why the hell are you with HIM/HER?' and then there would be fighting. Sexy, sexy fighing.
16.) Have #2 kissed yet? Elaborate if you'd like. (Suki/Sokka)
Macking on each other since episode 4.
17.) Did #4 have a happy ending? If the show hasn't ended yet, do you think a happy ending is likely? (Sokka/Katara)
Ummm, in the crazy crack!word where this is even possible? No.
18.) What would make you start shipping #14?
Seeing more of Hama. (Which sadly isn't going to happen.)
19.) If only one could happen, which would you prefer - #2 or #6? (Suki/Sokka or Pakku/Kanna)
Since both are canon, it's kind of a moot point. That said, if Suki and Sokka hadn't gotten a happy ending together, I would have been pissed.
20.) You have the power to decide the fate of #10. What happens to them? (Katara/Aang)
Heh, heh, heh.
Aang whines and whines and whines and when he finally faces the Fire Lord, Ozai pwns his ass, because that's what happens when every single mentor says 'man up' and you can't and the idea of actually working for a solution never occurs to you.
Toph, Suki, and Sokka are left to deal with Ozai - Toph dies, Sokka gets injured, and we get to see Suki take on a bender and win. However, Ozai escapes.
Katara heals Aang, and then when he tries to get her to date him, she finally admits that she just don't feel the same way about him that he does, and he tries to guilt trip her with "I gave up cosmic energy for you!" and she's loses her temper and yells, "maybe if you had, Toph wouldn't be DEAD!" and goes off to help Zuko try to find his father and rule the Fire Nation, which is really freaking hard since Ozai isn't dead and the other nobles are being recalcitrant.
Katara and Zuko manage to save the world, because they are just that awesome and understand making the hard choices, and then Aang watches petulantly from the shadows as they are married.

15.) If you could have any of these two pairings double date, who would it be?
Sakura/Gaara and Karin/Suigetsu.
Because I am not sure WHAT would happen, but it would be hilarious and violent and I'd want ringside seats, even though that would probably be a very dangerous place to be.
16.) Have #2 kissed yet? Elaborate if you'd like. (Temari/Gaara)
Yes. I have no doubt, that when Gaara was a wee tot, before Shakaju got out of control, or they realized how dangerous he was, or whatever his demon's name is, big sis Temari would give him sweet goodnight kisses before bed.
17.) Did #4 have a happy ending? If the show hasn't ended yet, do you think a happy ending is likely? (Karin/Suigetsu)
A world of no. Unfortunately, since they are both a.) bad guys and b.) not Sasuke, they are both going to wind up so, so dead.
But even if they were to live, they wouldn't live happily ever after with each other.
18.) What would make you start shipping #14?
If Orochimaru were hotter. I mean, Anko's a delightful little spit fire, she deserves someone to match her hotness (like Itachi.)
19.) If only one could happen, which would you prefer - #2 or #6? (Temari/Gaara or Kakashi/Sakura)
As long as both Kakashi and Sakura live through the end of the series I DON'T want them to end up together. I can't imagine Kishimoto having the skill to write them together without undoing all of Sakura's growth, and that would make me kill something so hardcore.
20.) You have the power to decide the fate of #10. What happens to them? (Temari/Kankarou)
Temari goes off and marries Shikamaru, to finish the long process of beating the jackass out of him.
Kankarou pines.
I mentioned a while ago doing this for Avatar:
Name six ships you love:
1. Zuko/Katara
2. Suki/Sokka
3. Mai/Ty Lee/Azula
4. Sokka/Katara
5. Iroh/Jun
6. Pakkun/Kanna
Name three ships you used to like but don't anymore:
7. Toph/Aang
8. Toph/Sokka
9. Aang/Katara
Name three ships you don't like:
10. Katara/Aang
11. Mai/Zuko
12. Toph/Aang
Name two ships that have piqued your interest
13. Haru/Azula
14. Hama/Kanna
1.) Why do you dislike #11 so much? (Mai/Zuko)
Because I feel that they never really knew each other, and I think that Mai deserved better than more of the same (which dating the Fire Lord would be - I mean, if she hated being expected to behave 'properly' from her parents, I highly doubt she would like the scrutiny that comes with being a Fire Lady, plus she'd suck at it) and I think Zuko deserves better than to be with someone who doesn't know the real him, and is in love with the person in her head.
2.) Who is someone you know that ships #13? (Haru/Azula)
That would be smillaraaq.
3.) What would be your ideal scenario for couple #3 (Mai/Ty Lee/Azula)
That would be back when they were kicking asses as the dangerous ladies, or if the Beach hadn't had Zuko in in.
4.) Which is your favorite episode for #1 (Katara/Zuko)? Try to pick just one.
The season one finale and The Southern Raiders.
5.) How long have you been following couple #6? (Pakku/Kanna)
Since the waterbending master. Although it was always more of idle interest than truly following them.
6.) What's the story with #8? What made you stop liking them/caring? (Toph/Sokka)
Just about every author who writes this feels the need to either talk trash about Suki or flat out state that Sokka didn't REALLY love her. After this happens a couple times, I lost all patience with the pairing.
7.) Which ship do you prefer - #2 or #4 (Sokka/Suki or Sokka/Katara.)
Sokka/Suki, definitively. Sokka/Katara is more of a 'wow, this is hot and wrong' ship that I totally don't take seriously.
8.) You have the power to make one ship non existent. Choose from #10 or #12 (Toph/Aang or Katara/Aang).
This isn't even a choice. Katara/Aang, and I would offer sexual favors to make that happen.
9.) What interests you about #14? (Hama/Kanna)
Hama is badass, and there is no one else who it really makes sense to pair her with. Plus, they were totally giggling together in the flashback.
10.) When did you stop liking #7? (Toph/Aang)
First, fandom decided Toph could do no wrong, and then Bryke backed them up. (Seriously, seeing Toph sandbend made me want to punch a hole in something. Not because it doesn't make sense, but because everyone else worked for their elite bending skills except her and...)
Then Aang became a whiny brat who got everything and paid nothing.
Basically, I hated one and kinda disliked the other, which pretty much killed any interest I might've had in the ship.
11.) Did your waning interest in #9 kill your interest in the show? (Mai/Zuko)
Actually, considering how much I don't really go for that pairing, it bothered me much, much less than I expected it too.
12.) What's a song that reminds you of #5? (Iroh/Jun)
Low Place Like Home - Sneaker Pimps
13.) Which of these ships do you love the most?
Katara/Zuko. Not only are these my two favorite characters, every single interaction they have is scotching, whether they're fighting each other or fighting back to back.
14.) Which do you dislike the most?
Aang/Katara. I was neutral to bored with this pairing from the middle of season one on, but it wasn't until the last six episodes that the thought of the awesome Katara ending up with this immature child who will NEVER be able to support her or make any hard choice, ever, make me seeth with rage.
15.) If you could have any of these two pairings double date, who would it be?
Zuko/Katara and Azula/Haru. Because you have estranged siblings and two people who sort of used to date, and it would be tense and awkward and 'why the hell are you with HIM/HER?' and then there would be fighting. Sexy, sexy fighing.
16.) Have #2 kissed yet? Elaborate if you'd like. (Suki/Sokka)
Macking on each other since episode 4.
17.) Did #4 have a happy ending? If the show hasn't ended yet, do you think a happy ending is likely? (Sokka/Katara)
Ummm, in the crazy crack!word where this is even possible? No.
18.) What would make you start shipping #14?
Seeing more of Hama. (Which sadly isn't going to happen.)
19.) If only one could happen, which would you prefer - #2 or #6? (Suki/Sokka or Pakku/Kanna)
Since both are canon, it's kind of a moot point. That said, if Suki and Sokka hadn't gotten a happy ending together, I would have been pissed.
20.) You have the power to decide the fate of #10. What happens to them? (Katara/Aang)
Heh, heh, heh.
Aang whines and whines and whines and when he finally faces the Fire Lord, Ozai pwns his ass, because that's what happens when every single mentor says 'man up' and you can't and the idea of actually working for a solution never occurs to you.
Toph, Suki, and Sokka are left to deal with Ozai - Toph dies, Sokka gets injured, and we get to see Suki take on a bender and win. However, Ozai escapes.
Katara heals Aang, and then when he tries to get her to date him, she finally admits that she just don't feel the same way about him that he does, and he tries to guilt trip her with "I gave up cosmic energy for you!" and she's loses her temper and yells, "maybe if you had, Toph wouldn't be DEAD!" and goes off to help Zuko try to find his father and rule the Fire Nation, which is really freaking hard since Ozai isn't dead and the other nobles are being recalcitrant.
Katara and Zuko manage to save the world, because they are just that awesome and understand making the hard choices, and then Aang watches petulantly from the shadows as they are married.
