[Meme] Dysfunctional shipping.

So, so bored. So writer blocked. So sleepy.

Give me a pairing and I'll give you a way it could be spectacularly dysfunctional.

I'd imagine, since that's what you fic for yourself. :D And as for LeeTen, it's not a pairing that's dysfunctional at first glance, and I don't think that even if you push it their issues would run as deep as most other pairings. But there are their feelings of inferiority (I...like to think that Sakura becoming Tsunade's apprentice shook Tenten a bit, since she might have had some ambitions like that herself) and they could be unsure on how to feel and how the other one is feeling. But mostly, it's a very happy and normal pairing, and I love them for it.

I...don't think you stretched Anko's characterization that hard. D: Rofl now I wonder about my own sense of her character. XD

And welll I disagree, I think you'd be able to write him well if you wanted to. But if you don't then you shouldn't. ♥ I'd never want to push you or anything, but I still think you'd be able to get his character down. BUT I know how you feel, I'll probably never fic for Team 7 because...I'm not invested in them enough to wantand put down the tim and effort to write soemthing IC.

Yay, it also means I loves me my ships when they're so pretty and broken and not getting anywhere.

(I...like to think that Sakura becoming Tsunade's apprentice shook Tenten a bit, since she might have had some ambitions like that herself)

I agree with that, but I like to think that Tenten's come to realise that her strength doesn't rest so much on medic-nin as it does on more fight-oriented things. Or Tenten secretly wanted to be a medic-nin at one point.

Anyway, not really a case for how many great kunoichi Konoha produces, I'm afraid. >(

Anko: I'm not sure myself. It's just that I generally don't see her dysfunctional for that reason, exactly. I see her more as one of Konoha's glorified headcases, but not so angsty. I like to think she's more or less okay with who she is. But I suppose she can have her moments!

Perhaps someday I'll have a scene popping in my mind between Gai and Kakashi or Team Gai that I'll want to write. So far...

As a side note. In an AU verse where Kakashi is a cop and Lee a would-be writer and they don't know each other. What would Gai be? I know what Neji is doing, and I have an idea for Tenten, but if you have an idea for Gai, or another one for Tenten, that'd be cool.

Kakashi as a cop? Neji as a would-be writer? :D What is this aweomse AU you're speaking off? XD

And wellll...it depends if you want to keep the relationshipd canon or not. Like if you want Gai to be in a position where he can work as a mentor figure to Lee similar to the way he does now. Or if you'd rather emphasise his interactions with Kakashi.

I think that personally, I'd put him as a cop with Kakashi, because Gai working with the police makes sense, and him and Kakashi would have great and hilarious interaction. But of course it's hard to say, since I have no idea what this story of yours is about. DD: I'd make him a cop or something like that too. Or a very dedicated litterature professor at some university, or a critic who, tired of all the cynisism around, has decided to help and inspire young writers instead of shooting them down.

:D As for Tenten, if this has something to do with writing, I'd make her an aspiring journalist who's very realistic about her own creative writing, but still hides deep poems in her closet dreaming of some day publishing an anthology.
