gacked from [livejournal.com profile] the_sun_is_up :

Six ships you're into right now
1. Kakashi/Sakura
2. Katara/Zuko
3. Maka/Soul
4. Brennan/Booth
5. Barney/Robin
6. Sai/Sakura

Three ships you liked, but don’t like anymore
7. Hakkai/Yaone
8. Jack/Angela
9. Chuck/Ned

Four ships you never liked
10. Charlie Crewes/his ex-wife (I REFUSE TO EVEN GIVE YOU A NAME.)
11. Sakura/Sasuke
12. Katara/Aang
13. Olive/Ned

Two ships you're curious about, but don’t actually ship
14. Sakura/Naruto
15. Reese/Tidwell

Why do you dislike #11 (Sakura/Sasuke) so much?

Sasuke is an arrogant dick and Sakura never calls him on being an arrogant dick.

That said, stop acting like Sakura didn't really love him or saying (when she's in love with your character of choice) that this love is so real and different than what she felt for Sasuke.

She was ready to leave Konoha for him. She has shown her willingness to die for him on multiple occasions. She's said she loves him.

If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck maybe you should do Sakura the courtesy of respecting the fact that she knows her own heart better than you do. And no, this does not mean that she can't grow out of love or love someone again or end up hating Sasuke. Just stop acting like her relationship with Sasuke wasn't real. It was. It just wasn't reciprocated. (Although I think if Sasuke could love anyone romantically, it would be her. I think he's to damaged and too willingly self-destructive to every love anyone like Sakura can and does.)

Who is someone you know that ships #14 (Sakura/Naruto)?

Umm, I know the_sun_is_up and feiyln ship the OT3 version of that pairing... I'm not sure who on my flist likes it straight up.

What would be your ideal scenario for couple #3 (Maka/Soul)?


Incredibly badass fight where Maka pwn followed by epic make out session that ends when Death Scythe shows up and loses his goddamned mind.

Which is your favorite moment for couple #1 (Kakashi/Sakura)?

When Kakashi is watching her at the Chuunin exam and talking about her perfect chakra control and how she has the same unwillingness to quit that Naruto does, oh, about fifty chapters before Tsunade even shows her face in the manga.

How long have you been following couple #6 (Sai/Sakura)?


Since, oh, about this exact moment.

What's the story with #8? What made you stop liking them/caring (Jack/Angela)?


The writers broke them up for a stupid reason in a stupid way, fucked with Angela's characterization, and made me dislike my formally favorite character and decide that she doesn't deserves someone who is, arguably, the perfect man.

You have the power to make one ship non existent. Choose from #10 (Charlie Crewes/his ex-wife) or #12 (Katara/Aang).

Katara/Aang. I trust that the writers realize what a trainwreck Charlie's (adulterous) relationship with his-wife is, which means it automatically loses when stacked against Katara/Aang's I-saved-the-world-and-won-a-girl, writes *pat themselves on the back* travesty.

Which ship do you prefer #2 (Katara/Zuko) or #4 (Brennan/Booth)?

*wails* Oh, gods, I don't know. I love a lot of the same things about them, they had the same relationship arc (simply on a different timeline), oh, this is a bitchy choice. I think I have to go with Katara/Zuko, simply because I was much more passionate about Avatar as a whole than I ever was about Bones, and for a long time, my majory shipping in Bones was Jack/Angela.

What interests you about #15 (
Reese/Tidwell)?

The epically hot scenes they have together. What bugs me is that it's the second less-attractive-older-man-nailing-a-woman-who-could-be-a-supermodel pairing in that show, which sets off a lot of my 'sexist writing occurring' alarms.

Why did you stop liking #7 (Hakkai/Yaone)?

Saiyuki kinda stopped being released, Yaone hasn't shown up in forever, my het Saiyuki friends started getting lost in their real lives and world of warcraft, I met Tsubaki would is Yaone written well....

Did your waning interest in #9 (Chuck/Ned) kill your interest in the show?

Sort of? I kinda just don't care about them, and the whimsy can only carry so much.

What’s a song that reminds you of #5 (Barney/Robin)?

"Sandcastles In The Sand" by Robin Sparkles.

Or realistically, how about "Pretty When You Cry" by VAST.

"i didn't want to fuck you
but you're pretty when you're mine
i didn't really love you baby
i didn't really love you
i didn't really love you
but i'm pretty when i lie
you hurt me baby
i hurt you baby
if you knew how much i love you
you would run away
but when i treat you bad
it always makes you want to stay "



If you could have any of these two pairings double-date, who would it be?

Kakashi/Sakura and Katara/Zuko, because the OTP would make me burst into flame.

Have #2 (Katara/Zuko) kissed yet?

I wish.

Did #4 (Brennan/Booth) have a happy ending?

Not yes, but all my canon senses for a HEA are tingling.

What would make you start shipping #14 (Sakura/Naruto)?

If Kishimoto started stressing Sakura/Naruto BFFs. (And he's sorta kinda doing that now.) Because that would be awesome and nicely prevent Sasuke from getting anywhere near Sakura's panties. Plus, it's not like any other relationship I want Sakura to be in would ever happen.

If only one could happen, which would you prefer, #2 (Katara/Zuko) or #6 (Sai/Sakura)?

Katara/Zuko, no question. First, you knock off two of my least favorite Avatar pairings, they'd be awesome together, it would have been awesome storytelling, and I think I'm going to be okay with the romance Sakura gets in canon (famous last words, right?)

You have the power to decide the fate of #10 (Charlies/ex-wife). What happens to them?

Dani gives the ex an epic verbal smack-down (and lord knows she has the skills to do it) and Charlie realizes that he's better off without her.

Which do you dislike the most?


Katara/Aang. I knew it was going to happen and was merely hoping for some UST scenes with Zuko and Katara (which we got in spades) and then the show made me loath Aang and loath the relationship between him and Katara. For fuck's sake, write your OTP with some goddamned dignity.

Which of these ships do you love the most?


Well, right now, Kakashi/Sakura is giving me an insane amount of pleasure, and Naruto fandom is way more enjoyable to be in than Avatar's.
