Another Irish Drinking Song

Six Pairings I Like:

1. Kairiku.  (Keep the old-school love alive!)
2. Namine/Riku Replica.  (It's just...it's just so sad...it just makes me want to cry and smile and wibble all at once.)
3. Larxene/Demyx.  (It makes little canon sense, but it's just so fun pairing the pacifist and the sadist together.  Plus some people do them sooo well.)
4. Haynette.  (It's just cute.  :D)
5. Zexion/Namine.  (...Yeah, it's messed up, but it's fun anyway...)
6. Bella/Jacob.  (Subtle change in fandoms, yeah.  BUT JACOB IS THE SHIZZ.)

Three Ships I've Abandoned:

7. Sora/Kairi.  (It's too darn easy.  AND IT INTERFERES WITH KAIRIKU >:O)
8. Namiku.  (I can't do it; I make it too cliche.)
9. Danny/Sam.  (I've kind of abandoned the Danny Phantom fandom as a whole, actually...)

Three Ships I've Never Liked:

10.  Sora/Riku.  (Let me get this out straight-up.  I DON'T LIKE YAOI.  But in some fandoms, it works. *coughOurancough*  NOT HERE.)
11.  Sora/Selphie.  (As much as it leaves room for Kairiku, it just feels like a way of axing Sora the easy way.)
12.  Axel/Kairi.  (A lot of people like it, but I have personally never really seen the attraction.)

Two Ships that have Piqued my Interest:

13.  Zexion/Aerith.  (What is it about this pairing that's so fascinating? I don't know, but it's neat all the same.)
14.  Sora/Namine: (Gosh, Nami, you're such a pimp.  :P  But this ship is made of so much angst.  And I like angst.)


#1.  Why do you dislike #11 so much?

Well...it's just not very character-developing.  In my opinion.  Selphie looks more like she'd enjoy Tidus, to me.  And a lot of Kairiku authors just go, "Well, I want to get Sora out of the picture....Oh!  Here Sora, take Selphie and get out of my face."  :O  It's too bland.

#2.  Who do you know that ships #13?

CONSTANCE.  AND SHE'S THE BOMMITY BOMB, KTHX.

#3.  What would be your ideal scenario for couple #3?

A Moulin Rouge crossover.  With Demyx as the sitar player and Larxene as the beautiful courtesan.  AND AXEL AS ZIDLER, FTW.  And Saix as the Duke.  And Marluxia and Luxord in various other roles (I think Marly would make a wonderful Toulouse and Luxord as the narcoleptic Argentinian.  Yeah.)  I had a plot bunny for this, but I have no time to write it.  :,,,,,(

#4.  What is your favorite episode for #1?

"Take care of her."

...

HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE THAT TO DEATH????  Oh, and the scene right befoe you battle Saix in KH2, and he starts up that big wind, and what's Riku's first reaction?  Protect Kairi.  And when he's avoiding Sora and being all emo, and Kairi grabs his arm and practically sobs, "Riku, don't go!"

That ship is love, I tell you.

#5.  How long have you been following couple #6?

Uhh...three days.  I finished New Moon three days ago.

*sheepish grin*

#6.  What's the story with #8?  What made you stop caring?

Well, I love reading it, if it's well done.  But when I go to write it...I dunno, I just can't break out of the trite, over-done conceptions of it.

#7.  Which ship do you prefer--#2 or #4?

#2.  Haynette is cute, and has a cute wordsmush, but nothing can compare with the glorious sadness and brevity of Namine/Replica.  It's all the more beautiful because it couldn't last.  Plus, apparently it makes me feel really poetic.

#8.  You have the power ot make one ship non-existent.  Choose from #10 or #12.

Number 10.  PUT THAT IN YOUR PIPES AND SMOKE 'EM, SORIKU SHIPPERS!  HAH!  Oh, god...pipe imagery....  *headdesks until head bleeds*

#9.  What interests you about #14?

Sora/Namine?  I'm not sure...it could just be really angsty and sad and almost half-cute... and free Kairi up for Riku.

#10.  When did you stop liking #7?

Well...probably about when I started liking Kairiku.  I still like SoKai okay, but... It just doesn't have as much depth of feeling.

#11.  Did your waning interst in #9 kill your interest in the show?

No.  More the other way around.

#12.  What's a song that reminds you of #5?

Push, by Matchbox Twenty.  Zexion would push her around and emotionally mess her up so bad...

#13.  Which of these ships do you love the most right now?

KAIRIKU.  FOR.  THE.  WIN.

#14.  Which do you dislike the most?

Soriku.  I just...urgh.  It makes me violent.  Heck, I don't even get this mad about AkuRoku.

#15.  If you could have any of these pairings double date, who would they be?

SoKaiRiku.  I love the triangley-ness of it all.  :D

#16.  Have #2 kissed yet?  Elaborate if yes.

Sadly, no.  Maybe in the fake memories Nami made for the poor little Replica, but otherwise not.  Aww.

#17.  Did #4 have a happy ending?  Do you think one is likely?

Kind of...not really.  They're apparently not important for us to know.  But I like to think so.   :D

#18.  What would make you start shipping #14?

...Maybe if we saw more of it, from Namine's PoV.  Or if I read a really good heart-breaking fanfiction.

#19.  If only one could happen, which would you prefer--#2 or #6?

#2.  The Replica needs a happier ending than the one he gets.

#20.  You ahev the power to decide the fate of #10.  What happens to them?

Riku runs off with Kairi.  Leabving Sora abandoned and doomed to a life of saving the worlds and consorting with talking animals.

:DDDDDDDD
