AN EVANGELION IN MY WHAT?

So it's Christmas Eve. I won't have all the drabbles done by tommorow, but I have a third of them finished and will try to get all the avatars up by evening. ^__^

Until then.... POINTLESS PAIRING MEMEGANKED FROM the lovely annwyd: because I'm too lazy and exhausted to do teh lj-ing about teh RL


[Top 10 Shippings Overall]
1. Gambit/Rogue [X-Men] (okay, so they've been written terribly since, like, 1997; but man, I GREW UP on these two)
2. Sasuke/Naruto [Naruto] (Yeah)
3. Daisuke/Ken [Digimon 02] (Oh come *on*. This was the most adorablest thing in the universe)
4. Orochimaru/Kabuto [Naruto] (Duh)
5. Eriol/Syaoran [Cardcaptor Sakura] (AND I LIKED ERIOL/KAHO AS WELL! TOUYA/YUKITO WAS BORING! WHAT KIND OF CRAZY CLAMP FAN AM I? D:)
6. Kurogane/Fye [TSUBASA Reservoir Chronicle] (I missed when Fye was cute and flirtatious. NOW THIS RELATIONSHIP IS MADE OF PAIN AND VAMPIRE. But I still eat it up with a spoon, damn you CLAMP and your nefarious fanservice agenda)
7. Roy/Ed [Fullmetal Alchemist] (I may never stop being ashamed about how much I love this pairing)
8. Garak/Bashir [Deep Space Nine](OKAY. OKAY. I ADMIT IT. I LOVE THIS PAIRING. I blame you, annwyd. And Caily BUT it only wins over Odo/Kira because 'His Way' was such a terrible episode)
9. Quatre/Trowa [Gundam Wing] ("I know Quatre is a good person, Heero! He gave me a... cookie!")
10. Julidan/Omoidasu [Ryuuguu] (....... lets not even go into this one.)

[Top 5 Love Triangles/Threesomes]
1. Sakura/Sasuke/Naruto [Naruto] (the only threesome I really ship, actually)
2. Leetah/Cutter/Skywise [ElfQuest] (hey, hey; it's canon that they're occasionally a threesome so this totally counts, right?)
3. Batman/Superman/Wonder Woman [DC Comics] (so there's totally this panel at the end of Kingdom Come...)
4. Scully/Mulder/The Truth [The X-Files] (WHICH ONE DOES MULDER LOVE MORE?)
5. Bean/Petra/Peter [Ender's Game/Shadow Series] (well, at least Peter waited until Bean was off earth before making the moves on his wife)

WAIT. WAIT. WAIT.

6. Pyramid Head/Pyramid Head 2/James/Mary/Maria [Silent Hill 2] (WELL, THIS ONE'S CANON.)

[Top 5 Canon Pairings]
Not including the canon in my top ten.
1. Ollie/Dinah [DC Comics] (ohhhh, ♥ It's kind of fitting considering they're essentially the DC equivalent of Gambit and Rogue... only they've been doing this stupid dance since 1971)
2. Odo/Kira [Deep Space Nine] (Dammnit Odo, it's not going to take you *fifty* years to heal your stupid people :P)
3. Nash/Mia [Lunar: Silver Star Story] (Forget Alex and Luna; Nash and Mia's love story is the one that really *gets* me no matter how many times I play through the game)
4. Mulder/Scully [The X-Files] (I liked it best when it was still subtext, but I'm undeniably happy that they ended up together. On the run from the law. Awww. Poor Scully- he ruined her life)
5. Heero/Relena [Gundam Wing] (I like it for pretty much the same reasons I like Trowa/Quatre. Which is also implicitly canon. Srsly, guyz)

[Top 5 "Not my favorite, but they’re very nice alternate choices" Shippings]
1. Kakashi/Sakura [Naruto] (I love the idea but have a hard time getting a grasp on the pairing. I want to write it *so* badly)
2. Ling/Ed [Fullmetal Alchemist] (It's cute, but I don't like the manga to care enough 99% of the time)
3. Dick/Roy [DC Comics] (OH. WELL. THIS ONE IS BECCA'S FAULT. AND NIGHTWING WOULD BE *SO* CASUAL ABOUT IT. AND ROY WOULD BRUSH IT OFF AND THEN CRY HIMSELF TO SLEEP BECAUSE NO ONE LOVES HIM. :( :( :( :( Except his daughter. And occasionally Ollie... when he's in the hospital. And, uh, his "moms" Hal and Dinah. And all the old skool Titans. Even Donna and Dick. They just don't love him like he wants them to love him. OH ROY, YOU POOR, ABUSED, GOLDEN AGE SIDEKICK)
4. Takeru/Iori [Digimon 02] (Yeah. So. It's adorable ^__^;;)
5. Every canon pairing in Slayers [Slayers] (including the dubious Xellos/Filia subtext. I love the canon Slayers pairings, but I much prefer Slayers gen-fic. SO, UH, THIS SORT OF COUNTS)

[Top 5 Pedophilic Shippings (Because we all have them...)]
1. Roy/Ed [Fullmetal Alchemist] (OOPS. DID I MENTION THAT ALREADY?)
2. Regal/Presea [Tales of Symphonia] (Well, she's actually only like, four years younger than him but her body *is* twelve years old. I'd consider her with Genis more pedophilia than anything, but when you get down the the semantics of it.... I just wanted to include this pairing in the meme. :P)
3. Douglas/Heather [Silent Hill 3] (FOR REALZ AND FOR THE WIN)
4. Bruce/Dick [DC Comics] (Although mostly on Dick's side. The massive torch Dick carries for Batman is adorable and pathetic and scary and awesome all at the same time. Batman, however, isn't actually a pedophile..... except all those times with pre-crisis Jason)
5. Orochimaru/Everyone [Naruto] (Yeah, okay. I just couldn't think of a fifth ship to put here)

[Top 5 "wtf that makes no sense... but I LOVE it!" Shippings]
1. Livio/Milly [Trigun/Trigun MAXIMUM] (But they would totally make the best couple EVER)
2. Kankuro/Ino [Naruto] (I blame this on the Naruto RP I play in. But they would totally work)
3. Cid/Yuffie [Final Fantasy VII] (... shut up. I first played FFVII when I was ten years old. I got Cid/Vincent and Tifa/Barret out of my first playthrough as well :P)
4. Zelos/Genis [Tales of Symphonia] (I just have this idea in my head of Genis all grown up and Zelos all... more grown up and both of them bitter about the fact that they let the people they REALLY wanted (Lloyd, Presea) get away and then they'd be all snarky and stupid at each other and... okay, really. I've got nothing. But I've been writing this *fic* for, like, a year now. ONE DAY I'LL FINISH. AND THEN YOU'LL ALL UNDERSTAND)
5. Eriol/Syaoran [Card Captor Sakura] (I can't explain what it is about this pairing I like so much. Maybe it's partly the fact that I wrote so much damn *fic* for it I kind of... created my own defintion and continuity for these two. YAAAY CESSATION?)

[Top 5 Crossover Shippings]
I just... can't do this question. I never think in terms of crossover. Wait, I might have one:
Maxwell Lord/Tony Stark (Iron Man). Because then they would take over the world.

[Top 5 "I just don’t feel what everyone else is feelin'" Shippings]
1. Dick/Tim [DC Comics] (this pairing seems to be so uniformly popular, but I just... don't get it. Okay- Dick and Tim are kind of like brothers and Tim was all obsessed with Robin/Nightwing as a kid. But there's just... nothing but *family* like affection there. And... and... Tim/Kon!!! Dick/Babs/Kory/Roy/Bruce/EVERYONE)
2. Sasuke/Sakura [Naruto] (I used to hate it, but now I'm simply ambivalent towards it. I'd still rather it not be canon; I simply can't see it happening. But oh, there's some pretty fic. And some awesome fans ^__^)
3. Roy/Riza [Fullmetal Alchemist] (yeah, yeah- it's canon. It's perfect. I adore it in the manga. I just find it... boring and am not certain how it earns all its batshit and unwavering devotion)
4. Peter/Claire [Heroes] (where did this come from? And why is it so popular? Have these two been featured in more than two episodes together? What?)
5. Vash/Meryl [Trigun/Trigun MAXIMUM] (it just doesn't EXIST in the manga, which is where I draw most of my canon. Also... it's shoe-horned into the anime so poorly that I didn't even pick up on the fact that it was SUPPOSED to be romantic. I've read the ship_manifesto, I've heard the fst, I like Wolfwood/Milly, I just can't. Understand. This pairing.)

[Top 5 "I hope these die" Ships]
1. Eriol/Tomoyo [Card Captor Sakura] (THEY TALKED. ONCE. AND THEIR CONVERSATION WAS ABOUT HOW GAY TOMOYO WAS FOR SAKURA. MOST BOOTIFUL LOVE STORY EVER. THE END.)
2. Heero/Duo [Gundam Wing] (Die kthx Gundam Wing fandom. This was not canon, will never be canon and is a stupid pairing anyways)
3. Naruto/Hinata [Naruto] (I just. Hate it. On it's own, I wouldn't mind Sasuke/Sakura being canon. However, it being canon would amplify the chances of Naruto and Hinata hooking up and I just. Gah. Gfkjsh. Errrgh.)
4. Superboy/Wonder Girl [DC Comics] (mostly because it's canon and badly written. Also, Tim's gay for Kon is much stronger than Cassie's straight for Kon, which kind of bothers me because usually I *like* canon DC pairings)
5. Kratos/Lloyd [Tales of Symphonia] (JUST ADMIT THAT THE ONLY REASON YOU SHIP THIS IS BECAUSE ZELOS DIDN'T SHOW UP SOONER AND YOU DIDN'T KNOW KRATOS WAS LLOYD'S FATHER. PLZ STOP MAKING LLOYD OOC AND WRITING LENGTHY ESSAYS ABOUT HOW IT'S PERFECTLY NORMAL FOR PEOPLE TO BE SEXUALLY ATTRACTED TO THEIR CHILDREN. EITHER ADMIT YOU LIKE AN INCEST PAIRING, OR SHIP ZELOS/LLOYD. Actually, on second thought DON'T ship Zelos/Lloyd. I *like* Zelos/Lloyd).

HONORABLE MENTION
"SasuNaru"

Yeah. You guys know what I'm talking about.


Also: the "Twelve Days' meme because I actually like the way mine turned out
On the twelfth day of Christmas, cephiedvariable sent to me...
Twelve jingle bells drumming
Eleven musicals piping
Ten geeks a-leaping
Nine gypsies dancing
Eight pirates a-milking
Seven dragons a-writing
Six lobsters a-busking
Five bi-i-i-ig hats
Four wiffle bats
Three bounty hunters
Two video games
...and an evangelion in a samuel r. delany.




I downloaded SO much 'Velvet Teen', 'Murder by Death' and Regina Spektor today. Expect a music download post sometime in the near future.
