OH SHIT TWO POSTS IN ONE DAY
I love History but I hate studying. Italy, why do you fail so much? Your fail is nearly equal to the fail of Russia, though not nearly as epic. :P

SIX PAIRINGS I LIKE:
1. Orochimaru/Kabuto (Naruto)
2. Sokka/Toph (Avatar)
3. Mia/Diego (Phoenix Wright)
4. Dumbledore/Grindelwald (Harry Potter)
5. Booster Gold/Blue Beetle (DC Comics)
6. Leo/Jusitce (Lunar 2)
THREE SHIPS I'VE ABANDONED:
7. Lee/Sakura (Naruto)
8. Draco/Harry (once upon a time, shiny fanfics convinced me this was keen)
9. Cola/Chocolate Chip Cookies (just, seriously, they taste no good when you eat them together, and it's sad because both are so delicious. Damn, I want some cookies.)
THREE SHIPS I'VE NEVER LIKED:
10. Zuko/Katara (Avatar)
11. House/Cuddy (House MD)
12. Naruto/Hinata (Naruto)
TWO SHIPS THAT HAVE PIQUED MY INTEREST:
13. Lelouch/CC (Code Geass) But I just can't seem to get myself into the fandom.
14. Uh, Jack/Wolfgang, lol? (EPIC D&D NOT-GAY IS EPIC. ALSO, GAY. Also, D&D is the closest thing I have to a fandom these days)
1. Why do you dislike #11 so much?
Because the writers have no idea what the fuck they're doing with it. There's this completely un-self aware degradation of Cuddy's character that is cringe-inducing and rather difficult to watch, more so because it's all being done specifically for the sake of shoving her into the "love interest" role. They're trying to make Cuddy's House's "match", his "equal", but in reality, uh, she's pretty much the only main cast member he *doesn't* respect. She gives him whatever he wants, rolls over when he's being a jackass and is completely incapable of pwning him on the level that Wilson and the Ducklings do. It's kind of disturbing that so many people think it will be a healthy relationship. In short, it bothers my feminist sensibilities, it's ruining Cuddy's character and it's a generous part of what's making the show so intolerable this season.
2. Who do you know that ships #13?
Huh, I don't know, actually. Most of my flist abandoned Code Geass after what happened to Euphie.kill_me_faster is fond of Lulu/CC in the canon sense, but I'm pretty certain she prefers Lelouch/Suzaku.
3. What would be your ideal scenario for couple #3?
UM, FOR THEM NOT TO BE TOTALLY DEPRESSING? D:
4. What is your favorite moment for #1?
"Kabuto, are you an A type?" Also, everytime they're on screen together. XD
5. How long have you been following couple #6?
Since I first finished Lunar 2 years ago. I was so glad Leo/Justice became canon! :D
6. What's the story with #8? What made you stop caring?
I fell out of fandom, I guess. I never actually liked the pairing in a canonical sense, I was just in it because a lot of the fanfiiction was *really, really* good. Then Cassie Claire's influence over fandom became too great, and EVERYTHING was about fanon!Draco in Leather Pants and I pretty much gave up reading about him forever and settled into being a boring MWPP-era fan. Also, as much as I was fond of Draco/Harry, Harry/Horrible Depressing Lonliness will always be true HP OTP.
7. Which ship do you prefer--#2 or #4?
Oooh, Grindledore is certainly a delicious pairing with the extra added bonus of being SURPRISE!CANON!, but Sokka/Toph wins out on about a million levels because it's completely awesome.
8. You have the power to make one ship non-existent. Choose from #10 or #12.
Hunh. Zuko/Katara fans are certainly annoying, but they're also hilarious, so I chose Naruto/Hinata.
9. What interests you about #14?
Oh, ha ha. I was mostly just joking about that one, especially since they're original characters and I don't strictly "ship" it. Jack is a very tall human, Wolfgang is a gnome. Intersize sex is kind of icky, SO THEIR LOVE CAN NEVER BE. Which is probably for the best, all things considered. Still, their relationship is one of those beautiful things that pop up in RP every once in a while and I do find it ENDLESSLY interesting since Jack's subconsciously determined to drag Wolfgang down the OMG PATH OF EVIL with him (oh, Wolfgang, necromancy isn't all THAT bad. We could use some zombie butlers, if you wouldn't mind) and although Wolfgang gives some pretty sound moral advice, the fact that Jack CAN tell him the truth about everything is actually giving Jack more of a license to be a bad person. Even better (or worse), they kind of play "Mom and Dad" to the party, so their FUCKED UP quiotent leaks out into the overall character dynamics.
10. When did you stop liking #7?
Uh, I just started shipping them with other people? Gaara/Lee and Team 7 OT3 for the win and all that?
11. Did your waning interest in #9 kill your interest in the series?
No, I still love junk food. XD
12. What's a song that reminds you of #5?
If I Were Gay - Stephen Lynch. I'm sure they've had experiences exactly like that song describes.
13. Which of these ships do you love the most right now?
Oh, I dunno. Sokka/Toph probably. *shrug*
14. Which do you dislike the most?
It's a toss up between House/Cuddy and Naruto/Hinata, but I think House/Cuddy edges it out a bit since although Naruto/Hinata would be inexplicable and utterly lame to me, House/Cuddy could ruin the show (ALSO, I DON'T WATCH HOUSE FOR ROMANCE. DEAR WRITERS...)
15. If you could have any of these pairings double date, who would they be?
Orochimaru/Kabuto and Dumbledore/Grindelwald. How awesome would it be? Pretty fucking awesome.
16. Have #2 kissed yet? Elaborate if yes.
Toph once kissed a hot girl she thought was Sokka. Being blind is totally the best.
17. Did #4 have a happy ending? Do you think one is likely?
It actually had more or less the opposite of a happy ending. Y'know, like that time Grindelwald (maybe) killed Albus' sister and then became Wizard Hitler.
18. What would make you start shipping #14?
Maybe if Wolfgang were a pretty half-elf or something instead of a pretty gnome, but still: something about it feels distinctly wrong. Also, Wolfgang is such a typical gnome sometimes I'm not sure his character would work as anything else. So, nothing? But having other players make inappropriate, in-character jokes about it will always be near and dear to my heart.
19. If only one could happen, which would you prefer--#2 or #6?
Well, 6 is canon, so I'd have to say 2. I'm not really rooting for it or anything (I'd be more irritated if the Sokka/Suki storyline is left dangling, though I KNOW it won't be), but I can't deny that I'd be pretty happy if it did.
20. You have the power to decide the fate of #10. What happens to them?
They have an interesting, platonic dynamic when Zuko joins the Aang Gang. After Katara beats the shit out of him. Naturally.
PS: Disneyland Memorial Orgy. Since I feel the need to include links of interest with all my posts these days.
