Pairing/character/threesome meme!

I'm kinda bored. Soooooo...MEME TIME!! :D :D :D Stolen from [livejournal.com profile] djtifaheart

1. Comment in this post with a pairing, a character, or a threesome.
2. I shall write you back a paragraph explaining what I think about it (good, bad, indifferent) and why.
3. Let's discuss / argue / CAPSLOCK at each other about it! I only ask that you don't get insulted, angry, mean, or stupid.


I think you probably know most of my fandoms. If you're not sure, feel free to ask!

LET THE DISCUSSION BEGIN!! :D :D :D

Okay!

Sora/Riku? I don't know how far you are into KHII so I want to stay away from 'spoiler' pairings.

[identity profile] candy--chan.livejournal.com 2007-04-20 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
*laugh* I honestly don't see a whole lot of potential for these two as a romantic pairing. Granted, if I were to dive more into the fandom that might change (I am reading [livejournal.com profile] lucindathemaid's series on them for [livejournal.com profile] 30_kisses), but at present...not so much :)

On a side note, there was one cut-animation scene near the beginning of the first game that showed a scene between Sora and Kairi, and I was OTP-ing pretty hard for a few minutes there ^_^;;

[identity profile] djtifabal.livejournal.com 2007-04-20 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Alright then... *doesn't ship them either*

Sora/Kairi? :P

[identity profile] candy--chan.livejournal.com 2007-04-20 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmmm...we haven't finished Kingdom Hearts I yet, so my opinion might change on this. But I think there's some potential here. Especially after that one scene with the two of them watching the sunset--I was OTP-ing liek whoa ^^;; But I think it could work. Again, I might need to do some fandom exploration as well *aka needs to start reading fics, yes*

[identity profile] insaneladybug.livejournal.com 2007-04-21 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not big on them paired romantically either. XD; I just see two close friends/sometimes rivals when I watch them.

Sora and Kairi.... Not actually sure if I get the OTP vibe from them either. XD Sometimes I like seeing a boy and a girl being close friends without having to bring romance into it at all.

[identity profile] candy--chan.livejournal.com 2007-04-21 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Sometimes I like seeing a boy and a girl being close friends without having to bring romance into it at all.

I feel that way a lot too. And I'm not sure if I do see them as an OTP necessarily. For a minute, I was OTP-ing pretty hard, but I have seen nothing else to really truly suggest it to me. But...that's fandom. Two characters are in the same series, so therefore it must be romance romance snog TWUE WUV.

*Would have asked Eisuke Hondou but in case you don't know him, well... ♥*

[identity profile] candy--chan.livejournal.com 2007-04-22 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
I like her. Flat-out. She's still got a lot of mystery to her, in my opinion--which can make for good twists and developments later, yes--and I love her dry, dark sense of humor. She's also got a lot of depth to her, and it's been a fun time watching as her character develops. And I'm personally a HUGE fan of the friendship between her and Ayumi--I think Ayumi is a very good influence on her ♥

Eisuke? He makes me giggle :3 And I need to get caught up on the manga scans so I can find out what the new developments are with him =D

Eisuke is just as awesome and I bet you'll just be wanting to give him a big biiiig hug once you've caught up. ♥

Ayumi and Ai's friendship is AWESOME. Nothing worse then a fic where Ayumi and Ai bitch at each other.

[identity profile] candy--chan.livejournal.com 2007-04-22 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
What I've seen thus far of him, I adore. He's so cute and klutzy and sweet and androgynous. I WANT TO HUG HIM!! :D

...there are fics where Ayumi and Ai bitch at each other? O.O Pleeeeeeeease to be telling me that these are AU fics? Because I think their friendship is one of the sweetest things on the show D:
ext_28232: (Huh?!)

[identity profile] dagronrat.livejournal.com 2007-04-22 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
He has a nice nekkid scene though. =D

Alas yes. Mediocre Conan-Ai fics, where they give up on the antidote and forget the org' to relive their adolescence... And then Ayumi and Ai decide to fight over Conan's twue lurve. Going as far as doing Prank Wars on each other. Mean ones.

That said when looking for Ai fics? There aren'tweren't that many that actually had an interesting characterization of Ai. So those fics weren't that bad a read if you could get over the dreadful OOCness of Ayumi and Ai hating each other's guts. And the fact it was formulaic. Once? Okay. 4 times? Bwuh. D:

[identity profile] candy--chan.livejournal.com 2007-04-22 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
*ears perk up* Nekkid, you say? *purrrrr*

I have only found a couple of Conan/Ai fics that didn't make me want to headdesk because of the rabid OOC-ness and incoherent/implausible plot. I wish I could remember the name of that one...it actually was showing some potential to be pretty interesting D:

Pranks Wars? ...how bad is it that the first thing to pop into my head was "hydrochloric acid"? *hands head* I am a horrible person...

Ayumi is essentially the only person who had express permission to call Ai by her first name. How in the hell do people figure that they'd start hating each other? RAR! *makes note to attempt to write something Ai-centric for [livejournal.com profile] fanfic100*
ext_28232: (OTP)

[identity profile] dagronrat.livejournal.com 2007-04-22 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, semi-nekkid, but still. XD

Now you've got me curious. Anything you've written on Ai you could point me to? *Wants to see! :D*

Hydro-... OUch. *huggles*

Can you describe the fic? I used to stalk all the Conan-Ai fics I could find, so maybe I know it.

And indeed. Usual excuses that come up are that people *change* with time, especially young children, but humpf. Moot point.

I've written ONE Mitsuhiko/Ai fic on request/as a birthday gift. It's here, (http://candy--chan.livejournal.com/131098.html) as part of my insanity [livejournal.com profile] fanfic100 challenge ^^;; I don't think I've really written her otherwise--I fail pretty hardcore at getting her character right...which doesn't stop me from writing Heiji, but we won't go into that.

That's the weird thing--it really didn't have much plot to it. At least, it hadn't when I last read it. It was a lot of dialogue, little scenes that somehow seemed strung along some sort of cohesive thread.

People do change. But to change that much that quickly? No--change is a gradual thing. They might grow apart as they grow up (and that's a big MIGHT)...no.

[identity profile] dagronrat.livejournal.com 2007-04-22 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Read and replied to. >D Thank you very very much. ♥ It was a much needed awh moment. ^^
Good luck with the Fanfic100 challenge! ^^;

Heh, yeah, I find Heiji hard to write as well. ^^; (Though Ai I have a facility with as long as I keep away from the snipey/retort and chemistry aspects I think... That said, Ai is so mysterious peoples' expectations of her can be very different. Just on the grow up or not issue there's divergence.)

Hmmm... Rings no specific bells. There are so many slice of life fics with those two. :c/ That and I have a lousy memory apparently. Was discussing this with Claude ([livejournal.com profile] randomaicoholic) just now. Was it Kaitou Magician's 31 days?

Re change: definitely agreed. As much as I find the idea of adult!Ayumi flirting with Kogoro amusing, I can't picture her losing her smart and honest innocence and strong character... It's just. D:

[identity profile] candy--chan.livejournal.com 2007-04-23 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
Yay! Thank you! :D I'm actually trying to do more of the neglected couples for that challenge--expect a Yuusaku/Yukiko fic in the near future ^^;; And hopefully more Mitsuhiko/Ai.

I have difficulty in writing A) Heiji's individual character, and B) nailing the balance of his relationship with Kazuha. And yet I insist on trying to write them >.>;; I really should just leave it to [livejournal.com profile] fireblazie.

Adult!Ayumi...flirting with Kogoro...?? O.O I actually find that kind of horrifying which may or may not have anything to do with the fact that I'm a closet Eri/Kogoro shipper AND that he's how much older than her? >_>)

*shakes head* That's not ringing any bells either D: Oh well...but I might just go give that fic a read :3

Boulder icon, yay! XD

Yukiko/Yusaku, yay! :D Neglected couples do need more love (any Sonoko/Makoto on the way?)

I love Heiji, he's so fun to draw, but I find it very tiring trying to keep up with his up-beat character in fan-fiction. That and his relation with Kazuha just doesn't interest me that much. ^^; ...even if I'll admit Kazuha has potential.

*Giggles.* Is a little crack fic I did. Here, the link.
Naturally I'd be appalled to see any serious fic on the subject (unless it was very very well written. ^^; ) The "older" issue is fully assumed, have no worries.

Enjoy? :D *Needs to reread it herself.*

Well. I have something like forty-five minutes, so why not.

Katara/Aang :Db

[identity profile] candy--chan.livejournal.com 2007-04-22 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry I'm just now getting back to you--some...rather crappy stuff went down last night D: But anyway--back to fandom stuff!

Oh, Avatar...here's my deal on that, really: most of the characters are, at most, in their mid-teens. This is not old enough to find twue wuv or anything. So I'm really not a huge shipper on any of the pairings from that show at this point in time (except for Iroh/Tea--total OTeaP right there).

Now, if I had to choose a ship? I would pick Kataang over Zutara, despite various attempts to convince me otherwise...mostly because I DO NOT UNDERSTAND ZUTARA. I mean, some "non-canon" pairings, I can grasp in some way. Zutara? No. And quite frankly, I think the season two finale was designed to make the Zutara fangirls rip their hair out >:D

Miroku/Sango! :D :D :D

[identity profile] candy--chan.livejournal.com 2007-04-22 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
*laugh* I love those two, I must admit. First of all, we've got an interesting male character (Miroku) and a kick-ass female character (Sango). And I do enjoy female characters who can kick ass and take names. But it provides for an interesting relationship dynamic, leading to one of the most unconventional proposals I've ever seen. They're just a fun pairing. Kinda wish they got more page/screen time, though...and maybe a kiss...

[identity profile] lucindathemaid.livejournal.com 2007-04-22 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
Unconventional is definitely saying something!

And seconding the kiss. I'm sure I'm not the only one that wants one.

[identity profile] candy--chan.livejournal.com 2007-04-22 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
*nodnod* I do enjoy those two ♥

[livejournal.com profile] msbbt wants one too, I'm pretty sure--unless something has changed recently that I am not aware of? Well, we can all hope!

*ninja icon!!*

Ummm...you might kill me for this, but I just don't see it. At all. I really don't have much of a ship for Ouran (if I had to pick, I'd go with Haruhi/Tamaki). Although I've discovered that the occasional AU incest fic is kinda hot... *shot*

KID/Kaito? ...that's either schizophrenia (which would make for some interesting angst) or masturbation (which I will read gleefully and squeal like the sad perverted little fangirl I am).

[identity profile] inquisitorial.livejournal.com 2007-04-22 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
It's okay, it seems that Mori/Haruhi is not that popular(unlike TamaHaru, KyoHaru, & HikaHaru). And Ouran is like one of those manga where it goes on forever with no real ending in sight and one pairing might seem canon one chapter, and the next chapter, another pairing might seem canon.Who doesn't like the occasional AU incest fic!

Think of KID/Kaito as Shinichi/Conan....ITS NOT GAY, ITS MASTURBATION! PLUS ITS CRACKM AND CRACK IS LOVE! ♥....now I am tempted to write KID/Kaito

[identity profile] candy--chan.livejournal.com 2007-04-22 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
Ouran...it's weird. It has its ships, but it doesn't. Mostly, it seems like the twins are the fandom bicycles ^^;; I have only recently discovered that I heartily approve of the occasional AU incest fic!

Heiji/Kaz! I need to get back in the Detective Conan groove again...

[identity profile] candy--chan.livejournal.com 2007-04-22 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
...I hate them.

*sits back and watches the freak-outs*

Okay, just kidding :3 I love their relationship because it's so different from the others. Shinichi and Ran are star-crossed. Kaito and Aoko have that wall between them. Heiji and Kazuha call each other by a pet-name of "ahou" and bicker about EVERYTHING. In all honest, I think they have perhaps the healthiest relationship in the Conan-verse.

Sadly, although I do love them as a pairing (despite various people's attempts to convince me that they probably won't end up together *puts fingers in ears and starts singing loudly*), I think they're the pairing I am the weakest at writing. So...not sure how much more of them I will write once I finish up my challenge for [livejournal.com profile] 30_hugs. There'll be some, but...not as much, I think.

[identity profile] magic-truth.livejournal.com 2007-04-22 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
Gee, I wonder who those various people could be?? Can't even share an innocent theory nowadays...*laugh* Just kidding. And your icon says it all!!!

Ahem...I'll pick a pairing now...and no it's not who you think I'd pick.

Satou /Takagi...have at it!

[identity profile] candy--chan.livejournal.com 2007-04-22 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
YOU JUST LIKE TO MAKE ME CRY!! D:

*luffs* I actually figured it would either be them or Shin/Ran, as you are the poster-child of the Shinichi/Ran fangirl. Speaking of which, I finished the next fic for [livejournal.com profile] 30_ways, and I think you'll get a kick out of it...especially because I was reminded of the plunnie while I was skimming the Yuusaku/Yukiko chat and working on shifting that into paragraph form :3

Satou and Takagi...first of all, you've got Satou. A strong, smart, tough female character who can kick ass all over the place. I heartily approve of kick-ass female characters. Then we've got Takagi. A shy, adorable, sweet guy who is absolutely incapable of being at his best in front of Satou. Really, their relationship is sort of unique in the Conan-verse because there's actually a certain degree of HONESTY regarding how they feel about each other. While I'm thinking about it, Shiratori needs to get smacked with a brick. That is all. Back to your regularly scheduled program.

Plus...something we've discussed before is how different a character Takagi really is. All the other guys in this series (who have lady-loves) are brilliant and confident in every other respect...but they can't talk about feelings to save their souls. Takagi, on the other hand, is so shy that he bumbles around an awful lot...but he's said some absolutely lovely things to her. I hope we get more storylines with these two, because they are adorable.

And I hope Shiratori gets run over by a stampeding rhino.

[identity profile] girlquinn.livejournal.com 2007-04-22 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
This pairing to me is kinda ironic. Out of the childhood friends/in love with each other pairs, they have the most opportunities. For the Shin/Ran scenario, Shinichi's current situation makes it kinda sick and illegal. The Kaito/Aoko case could work, but his loyalty for his father is completely understandable. There's nothing keeping Heiji and Kazuha from moving to the next level... besides Heiji's incredibly dense head.

The case with the magicians come to mind. Him with his "Why can't I concentrate when she's holding onto that guy?" and his "You're my little follower!" made me want to punch him so hard. It wasn't too long ago when they were hanging over the cliff during the mermaid case, right? I mean, I know he's probably shy about his feelings and he probably didn't want to admit to it to her (the case when he and Kazuha were both tied up), but during the magician case, Heiji seemed genuinely clueless. I have to keep reminding myself that he's only 17 and he's a dense teenager who may be deeply confused with his feelings.

I think they're the pairing I am the weakest at writing.

BLASPHEMY!! That's me, not you! *gets bonked*

[identity profile] candy--chan.livejournal.com 2007-04-22 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
They do have the most opportunities--they just seem to continually BLOW those opportunities. I think a lot of us were on the edge of our seat when that lawyer had the gun to Heiji's head and he's talking about leaving his last words to the girl behind him...and then he screwed it up. You will NEVER convince me that his last words to her, the ones he wanted her to treasure in heaven, were "Your ponytail sucks." Nuh-uh. No way.

But that magician case...it surprised me. Up until that point, I think most of us had figured that Heiji totally had the hots for Kazuha, but was just too shy to admit it. Turns out that isn't the case at all, and the magician murder proved it. He isn't shy--he's completely in the dark. He is TOTALLY self-unaware as to how he feels about her or even to the fact that he was jealous.

'Tis a pity...but then again, I think a lot of guys suffer from that tragic medical condition called "being dense as a rock." Then again, you've got guys like Shinichi--he has a clue. He just doesn't know what to do with it. But I'm holding out hope that we will have a Heiji/Kazuha confession and ending make-out scene sometime in the near future!

BLASPHEMY!! That's me, not you! *gets bonked*

...HOW DO YOU FIGURE? *bonks you a second time*

[identity profile] girlquinn.livejournal.com 2007-04-22 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
We know Heiji loves Kazuha, we just know it besides Aoyama's childhood friends pattern that seem to never fail. I suppose Heiji only gets a slight clue to his feelings when emotions are high (the whole "I'm hanging over a cliff on the verge of death, but no matter what I'll protect you" and "I'm about to get my brains blown out and I gotta say my last words" scenarios) but he seems to immediately shut them up when the situations are over. Must we dangle Kazuha over a building or hold her at gunpoint in order to get Heiji to admit his feelings? Don't make me do it! I already made her suffer through enough!

As for Shinichi's case, are you sure he doesn't know what to do with it? The Desperate Revival comes to mind. He brought Ran to that restaurant for a reason, whether it was to ask to be his girlfriend or be his wife, we'll never truly know... although I expect more of the former. He was there to move past friendship wasn't he? Or are you referring to his "I'm as tall as Ran-nee-chan's patellas!" form that he has been living in for... almost a year?

And I second the Heiji/Kaz confession and ending make-out scene as well!

...HOW DO YOU FIGURE? *bonks you a second time*

BECAUSE I CAN'T WRITE HEIJI IN CHARACTER! *flails* It's frickin' hard to! And I have no confidence!

[identity profile] candy--chan.livejournal.com 2007-04-23 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
They are childhood best friends. Therefore, they will hook up and snog for our viewing pleasures *eats popcorn and dodges flying bricks*

That's an interesting way of looking at it...things only come out when the stakes are high. I'd like to think that at some point he'd clue in and realize "Huh...I feel this way every time she's in danger. I should examine it more closely." And then he'd figure it out and there'd be a confession and a make-out scene and they'd get married and have a hundred children who are all Superman. But that's just wishful thinking on my part, I'm sure ^_^

I'm really not so sure about him. Sometimes he seems to have it down pat. Other times, it seems that he joins the League of Denseness. Every chance he gets to tell her anything, he screws up (which with the Desperate Revival was probably a good thing, because if he had told her something and then vanished like that, she probably would have been even more hurt).

...dude. I can't write Heiji in character either. Doesn't stop me from trying (and failing miserably). I'm seriously thinking about not writing him much anymore...but then people yell at me when I say that o.O

[identity profile] candy--chan.livejournal.com 2007-04-22 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
...weeeeeeeeell, it's a pairing featuring two characters I rarely use in my writings. I think it could happen. Problem is that there's so little actual canon to the Kaitou-verse that it's hard to predict much of anything (except a hope for a happy ending, yes!) Hakuba's character has developed quite a bit from his appearances in the Conan-sphere, though, and I think it's a possibility based on the way he is now versus the way he was initially.

All we can do is wait and see on those two. Or go read Icka's stuff--she's written them a bit here and there :3

*Kicks away urge to translate [livejournal.com profile] randomaicoholic's wonderful french Hakuba-Akako fic. URG. Wish I had TIME&Energy super combo! D:*

I think MK is Gosho's permanent work in progress. He brings it out whenever the plunny bites and doesn't need to beat it since he uses his other series as bread gainers... Then again, what do I know?

I still really wanna know how he wanted to use the red-blue wire plunny he gave the Movie 1 makers and originally had planned for Akako and Aoko. D:

[identity profile] candy--chan.livejournal.com 2007-04-22 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
...I would read them :D *has totally not been lurking on [livejournal.com profile] randomaicoholic's LJ, nope nope nope*

The sad part is that when he started MK, it didn't take off, so he put it on the back-burner. But with Kid having made so many guest appearances in the Conan series? I think he's a fan favorite now, and if Gosho were to go back and start doing MK full-force, I think it would take off like crazy. *siiiiiiiigh*

I don't know...it's kind of an interesting thought, really. But either way, it's still a very sweet story, and I'm glad we got to see it one way or another!

[identity profile] alena_s_anigor.livejournal.com 2007-04-22 12:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I think I have read a few of them...but, it's never a bad thing to be reminded, ne? XDD

I don't know - I kinda pulled that pairing out of the blue, but it would definitely be interesting to see the somewhat neurotic Hakuba with Akako... XDD

[identity profile] candy--chan.livejournal.com 2007-04-23 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
Hakuba's become less neurotic during his Conan appearances, I think--or at the very least, a lot less...pretentious isn't the right word, but I can't think of what is. He just might be able to handle her, should they ever decide to hook up :)
