[Meme] PAIRING MEME
Jan. 22nd, 2008 04:02 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
runespoorTELL ME YOURS TOO. INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW.
I'm just doing Naruto, because my tiny tiny brain can't handle juggling with several fandoms at once. (Oh, Ron/Hermione, Legolas/Gimli, Sheena/Zelos, Ike/Soren, Ed/Al,AkuRoku one week and Kingdom Hearts leeches into my soul, I have not stopped loving you.)
One True Pairing Ship:
NejiHina. Their match did it. First, it's obvious that the boy's obsessed with her. Second, Hinata may not be obsessed with him at all, she understands him perfectly well. So well that, in fact, Neji can't stand it and snaps. That's the third reason, the tension and the power issues: Neji is stronger, but Hinata can pull his strings. Their fight is the only one where someone touches the other's clothing. THE ONLY ONE. And this a manga where many, many outfits lend themselves to it - grabbing or pulling or anything. This is a manga with bow-shaped ropes that make perfect handles and long cloaks/coats things. All we have is Neji holding Hinata's arm and pushing her sleeve up. *_______* If finding it irremediably hot makes me a bad person, I don't care.
TemaShika. I liked it ever since the beginning of their match, and was overjoyed by the Temari-rescues-Shika pages. The bickering! The tension! Temari going "STFU, I didn't ask you for your opinion, loser" when Shika tells her they should retreat! SHIKAMARU GOING "EVEN MORE SCARY THAN MUM" AND TEMARI'S SMILE. (Shika's original thoughts reminded me so much of Ron's opinion of Hermione upon first meeting her that it was impossible for me not to ship them. Also, I love Shika's "ew, girl cooties" and Temari making him sound like he really is only 13.)
NaruSasu. You have no idea how long I spent in denial about this. Not because it's omg slash (hahaha), but because I didn't want to be the kind of person who 'typecast' her ships. And until the Valley of the End, I was doing pretty well too. (I was only a casual reader when I read the Wave Country Arc, so the Sasuke-throwing-himself-in-front-of-Naruto wasn't as hard to deny as it would've been later on.) When I reached VotE, I finally gave up on denial.
NaruSakuSasu. As if you didn't see that one coming.
Canon Ship:
I say "TemaShika", I'm gonna be in trouble, aren't I. Well, I honestly think it's heavily implied and/or going to become canon at some point. To take the Ron/Hermione parallel further; they weren't going out before the end of book seven, but we all knew it was there. (all of us who weren't in denial, I think. Even if you shipped Harry/Hermione and thought it'd be better for the characters, I think the Ron/Hermione tension was too much to ignore.)
.......................I like Minato/Kushina, I suppose. As long as Kishi doesn't go any further in his sekrit plot to reveal that he needs a dictionary in order to look up words such as 'tomboyish'. (meself, I've claimed A Surprise (Tactic of Sorts) is canon and that's why Kushina was embarrassed.)
Or, well, Shikaku/Yoshino. It's like TemaShika except Shikaku's doing the Mediterranean male thing of 'I'm totally in control. rly. I am. not at all whipped. I r cool and composed, and my wife ttly does not have her way with everything.' and Yoshino screams and yells and calls him lazy and that's just how their marriage works.
JiraTsu. :(
"If this happens I'll stab my eyes with a fork" Ship:
KibaHina. Look, I already don't like NaruHina, so plz don't throw Hinata at some Naruto-lite clone just for the sake of getting her out of the way. At least Hinata likes Naruto and maybe something would perhaps happen that'd make Naruto notice Hinata a little more.
InoShika. hahahahahano. I got nothing against it as a 'I think their interaction would be so great if they were a couple', but the 'omg canon' annoys me. They are not canon, much less omg about it. Ino is more aware that Chouji is a boy and Shikamaru thinks Ino is the same as Sakura.
"You're a sick bastard" Ship:
ItaSasu. I like it better when it's subtextual/one-sided on Sasuke's part, because I don't think it'd be half as hard for him if it weren't. Also, I'm not convinced Itachi has anything resembling a sex drive.
KabuHina. This lends itself to the gothic genre so well.
"I dabble a little" Ship:
InoSaku. More than that, really, but I don't think it's an OTP yet. I love it because of their match, true, but mostly because of Ino's face when Sakura fights for her boys in the Forest of Death, and for the way she throws herself in front of the three Sound ninjas. If you're a regular reader of my lj, you'll know I'm a huge Ino fan just for this reason, and I strongly believe that was one of the most heroic things in the manga. She just threw herself in front of Sakura, when she was convinced that she and her team were the weakest to enter the exam. aklsdjljlsd. How much more of a parallel to Sasuke throwing himself in front of Haku's needles can it get? And Ino kept the ribbon she'd given to Sakura. For years. The mind boggles. (And I think Sakura could eventually return her feelings, because she has it in her to grow up and love her team without needing to be in love with them, to be there without being in the same bed, while I don't think either Naruto and Sasuke could.)
Suigetsu/Karin. Or, hum, you know, Team Hebi interaction. In general. Where I can amuse myself by bringing my own subtext. Hum. Don't judge me?
KabuOro. I love 'em. They have this weird relationship where Kabuto can be cheeky and disrespectful and Orochimaru is annoyed.
KisaIta. I know I said Itachi is asexual, but it's different, it's partnership. And I think Kisame likes Itachi enough to take care of him.
"It's like a car crash" Ship:
NaruIno. 'They're in love with their rivals who have shacked up.' heartbroken, misery-loves-company type of thing. *______* unrequited is so pretty.
OroSasu. Actually, this could fit the 'you're a sick bastard' or 'canon' description equally, if only because Sasuke is only, you know, selling his body to Orochimaru. I don't really think it was meant to read like subtextual prostitution, so I'll let this one drop, but yeah. Subtextual prostitution. My views of this have been heavily influenced by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
crazy_toffee's writings.
NaruOro. NO WAIT LISTEN. So there's this unhappy future where Oro's taken over Sasuke, right? And Naruto loves Sasuke and Orochimaru is in the way and Sasuke is disappearing and Naruto is clinging to whatever fading bits are left of him and oh how he hates Orochimaru and it's Sasuke's face and it's not right. It doesn't even need to be sexual. :D
Sannin. Except I like it better when they pretend to be all platonic about each other, 'cuz it's angstier. :)
"Tickles my fancy but not sold quite yet" Ship:
GaiKaka. I'm probably never going to write it, as I have no Gai voice and no Kakashi voice to speak of, but I read whatever few fics are written about the couple. I like it because it's not romantic, in any sense of the word (romantism? includes drama), but it's a strange mix of the common-sense and utter weirdness.
NaruSaku. The main trouble I have with this is that to me, this exists for Sasuke. In my head, NaruSaku is just Team Seven OT3 before they manage to drag Sasuke back.
LeeGaa. I like it, I like 'em, their interactions, their personnalities, the potential for crack and serious, but there's always that shadow of 'oh, really?' in the back of my mind. Dunno why.
"Makes no canon sense but why the hell not" Ship:
KibaHanabi. He would fluster her and they would bicker and it would be such a wonderfully clichéd romance and they could have drama and frustration and screaming matches at the top of their lungs and did I mention drama? and the supporting characters omg supporting characters like HIASHI and Hinata and Neji who'd be having their own not-so-secret-so-much-as-no-one-realises-it's-here relationship and Inuzuka/Hyuuga hijinks and c'm'on, I can't be the only one to whom the idea appeals, right?
IruAnko. Look, when they were kids he was a troublemaker and I go with the idea that she very much wanted Orochimaru-sensei to like her so she'd have been a right stick-in-the-mud, and then they grew up and he was the responsible adult and she was the bad girl who'd been Orochimaru's student.
Pimp!Ino. InoGaara. InoKankuro. InoHiashi. InoNeji. InoKiba. InoLee. InoJuugo. I could go on.
SasuHina. It would be so cute and awkward if he'd had/had a crush on her. ^____^ socute. Just... no arranged mariage plz.
"Everyone likes it but I just don't feel it" Ship:
KakaIru. Get me started not.
KakaSasu. I see why their interaction would draw people in, but I... don't feel it. and also I think maybe it squicks me just a little, I'm sorry. D: I don't have that problem with KakaSaku, but I think the link mentor/student is much more present in Kakashi/Sasuke dynamics, and also the fact that they basically fill the same place in their team dynamics is NOT HELPING.
...GaaHina. ItaSaku. GaaSaku. You know. That sort of thing. Or at least the fanon of it, and I'm not interested in it enough to look for good fics/write my own.
The usual suspects ships, I guess. NaruHina SasuSaku NejiTen InoShika, though it probably has a lot to do with the fanon use of these ships exactly like that: a huge big ass list of ships, because girls can't, you know, not be in a relationship, that's not nice.
"When all is said and done" Ship:
One of the four in the beginning, or just one of the three.
I'm just doing Naruto, because my tiny tiny brain can't handle juggling with several fandoms at once. (Oh, Ron/Hermione, Legolas/Gimli, Sheena/Zelos, Ike/Soren, Ed/Al,

Date: 2008-01-22 08:18 pm (UTC)...Not that I think you're wrong for disliking the ship or anything. I can understand that, and it doesn't bother me or anything and and I'm not trying to put you down and and yeah.
BUT UM OKAY I'm going to do this meme. Here. Now. YOU ASKED FOR IT
One True Pairing Ship:
Team Gai/Team Gai in every possible combination, including the OT4. *_* And like a dozen other ships, I'm crazy with the OTP:s.
Canon Ship:
TEAM GAI/TEAM GAI :D It's canon, I swear.
And I share your love for Shikaku/Yoshino. They're just fun. JiraTsuna has been OTP for a long time now. ;_; But other that that...well, there aren't too many pairings that can be considered canon anyway
"If this happens I'll stab my eyes with a fork" Ship:
Watch me be pretentious, bt I don't really have onw. I just don't care. :/ Since the ones I dislike some, like ItaSaku and GaaHina and NejiSaku have more or less zero chance of ever becoming canon. And even if they do, it won't stop me from shipping my own ships. :D Also, no point in hating stuff, loving is more fun. ♥ *is a fandom hippie*
"You're a sick bastard" Ship:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH XDDDDDD 80% of fandom think my OTP:s are disgusting and OMG PEDO. Like all the Gai/student pairings and OroSandaime and TsunaSaku. And HiashiIno. Yes, I ship this.
Also, Gai/Hiashi and Hiashi/Kurenai.
"I dabble a little" Ship:
You know what? It's easier if I just tell what I don't dabble in.
ItaSasu. SasuNaru. KakaNaru. NejiNaru. NejiShika. NejiAnyone not on his team or Hinata. AsuShika. KimiLee.
I think that's about it.
"It's like a car crash" Ship:
NejiIno. :D Omg this is so much fun. All the sannin, I agree wth you.
And well. Team 7. :( And InoSaku. And ahhahah so many pairings, the whole canon is one big car crash, really.
GAINEJI AND GAI LEE T_T my most beloved car crashes ever.
"Tickles my fancy but not sold quite yet" Ship:
EUM AnkoIno. NaruSaku, I'm still trying to wrap my mind around it. OroTsuna.
"Makes no canon sense but why the hell not" Ship:
ROFL MOST OF WHAT I SHIP XD
"Everyone likes it but I just don't feel it" Ship:
KakaIru. SasuNaru. :/ Yeah.
And all the 'healing vagina' ships.
"When all is said and done" Ship:
GaiTen. ♥ If they ever get a scene together and actually exchange words I'll die, then throw a party.
I love how different we are in this. <3 But we still share some common grounds.

Date: 2008-01-24 10:39 pm (UTC)In fanon, I dislike it because it SasuNaru LeeSaku KibaHina is the equivalent of the infamous SasuSaku NaruHina ShikaIno NejiTen string of ships and I dun like the idea of shoving Hinata (potential rival for Naruto's affections, oh noes) into the arms of a convenient Kiba-shaped suitor.
In current canon, I wouldn't want it to happen now because it'd come completely out of the left field. If it was scheduled to happen, say, ten years from now, why not: everyone would have changed, events would have taken place that would've shaped their older selves etc. Then again, I don't think even one pairing would be impossible if you gave yourself the possibility of aging the characters ten years and giving them ten years of life experience more. In the here-and-now, however, I can't see KibaHina happening any time soon without some deus-ex-machina in the form of a dramatic event that'd make Hinata realise how much she really cares about Kiba. :/
If I look at the ship without caring either about the canon or the fanon of it, then I'm much more rational and it just becomes not my thing. Too cute.
*emo lulz*...Not that I think you're wrong for disliking the ship or anything. I can understand that, and it doesn't bother me or anything and and I'm not trying to put you down and and yeah.
Oh don't worry about it I understand what you mean. And I don't think you're someone who'd think that, you know? When you say you're a fandom, that sounds right to me. :3
However I'm sorry for wording my thoughts the way I did. It wasn't just unclear or misleading, it was... yeah. >_> next time I'll actually take the time to think exactly what I'm writing about.
But I'd like to know what you like about KibaHina! I don't like the ship, but that only means I don't like reading about it. I never have problems discussing ships. I like hearing people talk about ships I don't follow.
Okay, so don't drag me in the ItaSaku mindfuckery or the SasuNaru/NaruSasu my-brain-cells-are-dying or the KakaIru WHAT. But other than that I'm good!well, there aren't too many pairings that can be considered canon anyway
HOW CAN U SAY THAT SASUNARU IS TOTALLY CANON. DON'T TAKE ICKLE NARU-CHAN AWAY FROM SASUKE-SAMA OR SASUKE-SAMA WILL KILL U AND U'LL MAKE NARUNARU-CHAN CRY!!11! SASUNARU = CANON LOL.
No, seriously, you mean DeiSaku and NejiGaa aren't gonna become canon? Man, I feel cheated now. My faith in Kishimoto is
RESTOREDshattered forever.*dances*
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH XDDDDDD 80% of fandom think my OTP:s are disgusting and OMG PEDO. Like all the Gai/student pairings and OroSandaime and TsunaSaku. And HiashiIno. Yes, I ship this.
I'm waiting for fandom to wake up and see the wonders of TsunaShika. Come on, people. It can't be that hard. They canonically speak to each other, he's into older blond scary hard-ass women, and it's apparently common belief that he's going to hit strategist by the time he turns twenty-five. ;_;
Also, Gai/Hiashi and Hiashi/Kurenai.
I sense a pattern. Are you trying to give Neji and/or Hinata a chance at a positive reunion of vaguely-parent-like figures, or are you trying to break their brains? I'd read that any time you write, though. That'd be hot.
I HAVE THIS STRANGE ATTRACTION TO GAI/NEJI. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY. I MAY HAVE TO BLAME YOU FOR IT. (GAITEN IS WORKING FROM THE BACK OF MY MIND, TOO. BUT I DON'T THINK I'M EVER GOING TO CONSIDER GAI/LEE.)
And all the 'healing vagina' ships.
I repress that.
Yay, we've got the grounds of Ino and Neji and good ole common sense re:healing vaginas.
And crack pairings.

Date: 2008-01-23 12:29 am (UTC)TemaShika is so much more canon than InoShika. I mean, just from that scene in the forest where Shika and Temari are fighting like an awesome team and Ino feels left out, that sort of summarises how I feel about that. *nods*
LOL - subtextual prostitution, that's such a perfect expression for it! I can totally see your scenario for OroNaru, it would be so angsty and awesome!!!
I don't get KakaSasu at all. It really squicks me, although I don't mind KakaSaku or KakaNaru, so I don't know why. And I just don't understand the popularity of KakaIru, it boggles my mind.
I love reading your opinions about things!!
no subject
Date: 2008-01-25 01:20 am (UTC)I like KakaSaku for some of the same reasons I like InoSaku: Sakura could not end up romantically with her teammates and still know she loves them. She'd just have adjusted her life another way. And KakaSaku not only allows that, but it also leaves Sakura having to deal with Kakashi's special kind of retardation, and WE ALL LOVE SEEING SAKURA DEAL WITH HER TEAM'S BATSHIT INSANITY. lulz, communication skillz 101 according to Kakashi. Also, there can be hilarious hijinks with Naruto and Sasuke going wtf and '...does that mean we have to kill him now' while Sakura gets to be the mature one. Clichéd romantic comedy tropes are love.
I'm less sure about KakaNaru. Except apart from the obvious it's-yet-again-about-Sasuke, but I don't think Kakashi would let Naruto do that.
I love reading your opinions about things!!
dooooooo this meme too.
no subject
Date: 2008-01-25 02:54 am (UTC)I think I like KakaNaru more in the way that Kakashi is someone whose strength Naruto respects, and who has more-or-less always kept an eye out for Naruto.
LOL, I love KakaSaku the way you imagine it! :P
I will do this meme, because I'm supposed to be doing other stuff and I really can't be bothered! :P
no subject
Date: 2008-01-25 05:35 am (UTC)But yeah, I'm so glad you mentioned SasuHina, even if it makes no canon sense. I can dig the arranged marriage scenario, but I prefer not. It's been done, and it would be so much more interesting (and plausible) for them to fall in love on their own. I'd think the Hyuuga would crucify Sasuke before they let him marry Hinata.
no subject
Date: 2008-01-25 11:41 am (UTC);_; then do it in your lj?
What I like best about SasuHina is the idea of Sasuke having a crush on the one girl who doesn't want him but Naruto. I always thought Sasuke was just the type to go for the impossible things, and I like the irony. :3 But I don't really ship it in a serious way.

There could be so many interesting politics involved, especially over the restoration of the Uchiha clan and whether Hinata would be the Head of the Hyuuga clan or not.
I'd probably like it best if they weren't married, really, but that's a constant with me. :)

What I like best about SasuHina is the idea of Sasuke having a crush on the one girl who doesn't want him but Naruto. I always thought Sasuke was just the type to go for the impossible things, and I like the irony. :3 But I don't really ship it in a serious way.
One of the many reasons I love it as well, but I'll go into more detail on that in my post.
There could be so many interesting politics involved, especially over the restoration of the Uchiha clan and whether Hinata would be the Head of the Hyuuga clan or not.
That's one of the reason I love this fanfic. (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3378387/1/Light) It's a sequel but I guess you could sort of get into it without reading through it's long predecessor. It's kind of silly at points and maybe a little out of character with Ino (which you might not like), but otherwise I really like it. It's not an arrange marriage fic, but it's going with that clan politics thing in the most recent chapters.
My absolute favorite SasuHina fic at the moment would be Still Waters Run Deep (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3286810/1/Still_Waters_Run_Deep). OMG SO MUCH LOVE FOR THIS FIC! It's so dark and it deals with not only SasuHina but Sasuke's past with Oro (that part gets VERY dark if you know what I mean). It's a little long though for a casual SasuHina fan. I wish they would update :(.
