15 OTPs

[sumeria]

So, a meme's been floating 'round to describe fifteen of your OTPs in fifteen words or less, and I was eventually prodded into doing so. Not in verse, because unlike some people, I am not a crazy person. This... is very anime heavy, but some western fandoms are in here. No more than one pairing per fandom.

...Now updated to reflect progress.


1 : If you can get past the waterboarding, there's not much left to derail a relationship.
-Psiten and Imifumei
2 : No matter how often I kill you, it never helps.
-Psiten
3 : It takes an interesting woman for me to ship her with thirteen men.
-Psiten, Beltenebra, Imifumei
4 : Nothing says, "I love you," like a fist in the heart.
-Psiten, Beltenebra, Imifumei
5 : If you balance enough mental problems carefully enough, you can get one healthy relationship.
-Psiten
6 : Men can't be held responsible for what they do near a charisma modifier that high.
-Psiten, Beltenebra
7 : When a rivalry reaches a certain point, you just can't *talk* to anyone else.
-Psiten
8 : A girl should always go for the version that's housebroken.
-Psiten
9 : He's only arresting you to get your attention.
-Beltenebra
10: It's an easy choice between the sweet, funny guy and the grumpy antisocial asshole, right?
-Psiten
11: You don' balance balance with balance, you balance balance with *passion*.
-No one! (I lie, my roommate did guess this, but she didn't do it in my lj, so it doesn't count.) You have all seen this show.
12: They should have just admitted they were totally AU and surendured to the gay.
-Beltenebra
13: If you date the most irritating person you know, you'll always have plenty of sparks.
-Psiten and Beltenebra
14: I'm sure he'll find a way to fix the avian problem.
-Psiten, Beltenebra, Imifumei
15: True love is getting into bed with a deranged psychopath with tuberculosis.
-Psiten, Beltenebra, Imifumei

[sumeria.livejournal.com]

Not bad-- one wrong, though. *Admitedly*, not one of my clearer ones.

[psiten]

8) Sesshoumaru x Kagome, Inuyasha
9)Please tell me this isn't Javert x Valjean. Not that I'll think any less of you if it is, but still. I won't be able to think of anyone else until you tell me it's not them.
10) Masumi x Maya, Glass Mask [?]

[sumeria.livejournal.com]

Two of those are wrong.

And yes, I don't ship Javert/ValJean. I think my roommate would never speak to me again if I did.

[sumeria.livejournal.com]

I am told that # 10 is overly broad. I see how it could seem so, but let it be known, that is a (only slightly paraphrased) quote from one of the parties involved.

[psiten]

5) When you get to the point of revealing this one, I'm going to kick myself.
9) The chances that this is Nick Knight and LaCroix seem so slim... and yet I'm having massive difficulty coming up with people who arrest people.
10) Naru x Mai, Ghost Hunt. But you already told me I have that right.
11) There's... no chance this is Atobe x Echizen? Is there? Because I don't see anyone else on this list they could be.
12) Wild guess. Lancelot x Arthur, Warhammer: The Movie King Arthur?

[sumeria.livejournal.com]

In order...

5.) Yes, you will.
9.) Nope, not them either.
11.) None whatsoever. And now, a hint: Number 11 is not an anime pairing.
12.) Fraid not. But I do see from whence you got there.

Ok, first guesses, here goes!

[beltenebra.livejournal.com]

3. Princess Meredith et all - Hamilton's fairy books
4. Sasuke & Naruto - Naruto
5. Tsuzuki & Hisoka - Yami no Matusi
6. Naoe & Kagetora - Mirage of Blaze
8. Edward and Bella - Twilight
12. Shihoudani & Touru - Princess Princess
13. Roy & Ed - FMA
14. Fakir & Ahiru
15. Hijikata & Okita

Re: Ok, first guesses, here goes!

[sumeria.livejournal.com]

No, yes, no, yes, no, no, yes, yes, yes.

^_^

[beltenebra.livejournal.com]

oops, I forgot to add my guess for number 9


9. Satoshi & Daisuke - DNAngel

[sumeria.livejournal.com]

Well done indeed.

[beltenebra.livejournal.com]

Ack! I really need to think first and post second. 12. Has to be Lex & Clark - Smallville

[imifumei.livejournal.com]

It is nerve-wracking how little I appear to know about your OTP.

[psiten]

Another wild guess for No. 12, even though you say it's unlikely I'll get it:

Draco x Harry, Harry Potter series?

[sumeria.livejournal.com]

Indeed it must be. Well done again.

[sumeria.livejournal.com]

Gomen?

[sumeria.livejournal.com]

I fear not.

[beltenebra.livejournal.com]

ok, I really need to start thinking first and posting second. this is my final answer for 12. Lex & Clark - Smallville

[psiten]

5) ... Soubi x Ritsuka, Loveless?

[imifumei.livejournal.com]

No worries. I just haven't seen half the things you've seen.
Now, let's see. Number 3 can't be Rose & The Doctor because he hasn't been 13 men and even his 10 plus one clone plus one Jack Harkness is only a dozen men. Is it that slutty vampire-lover from those Laurell K. Hamilton books? Maybe Rose & The Doctor is #8?

[sumeria.livejournal.com]

Well... I think you've seen about half a dozen of these at least in part.

And you should go with your first instinct on 3.

[sumeria.livejournal.com]

Hrm. My reply to this appears to be above it. How odd.

[sumeria.livejournal.com]

^____^

[imifumei.livejournal.com]

1 : V & Evie.
2 : ?
3 : Rose & The Doctor
4 : SasuNaru
5 : I don’t know that you especially ship them, but this would work for KuroFai
6 : ?
7 : ?
8 : ?
9 : ?
10: I am just certain I have heard something like this. Have I seen what they are from?
11: ?
12: I don’t know who this is but I fear I won’t approve.
13: ?
14: This must be Fakir & Ahiru. (Oh, so adorable.)
15: Hijikata x Okita

[imifumei.livejournal.com]

See how I have now idea? Actually, I may just not think of things the same way as you do. That would explain it.

[imifumei.livejournal.com]

Also, for 13, Shibuya is the most irritating person that Mai knows. Is this them? Actually, this would work for Bella's feelings for Edward very early on in the Twilight series as well.

[sumeria.livejournal.com]

Hrm. Right on 1, not sure if you would get 2 or not, Yes on 3 and 4, I do, sort of, but this is not they on 5, You've seen at least some of 10, not sure how much, I... have no idea what you think of 12, but no, you probably won't approve, and you are, of course, right on 14 and 15.

[sumeria.livejournal.com]

Ah... no. Is neither of those. Though one of those pairings is on this list.

[imifumei.livejournal.com]

#10 could also be Edward and Bella. Damn. I just started reading the first book in the series. It's Edward & Bella all the time for me! They are everywhere!

[imifumei.livejournal.com]

But then, I guess it could also be Mai and Naru. Damn! Why do these pairs all have to be so similar? Oh, right. Because all romances are essentially the same. I forgot for one second that I have read about 1000 identical stories. Sorry.

[sumeria.livejournal.com]

But 10 is actually a quote from teh guy in question. If htat helps at all.

[psiten]

gbjtt!! I don't make that distinction re: anime. I never have!

Anyway.

11) Zuko x Aang, Avatar

[imifumei.livejournal.com]

A couple more guesses:
Is 5 that couple from umm. . .the show with the cat boys where the older boy used to be involved with the catboy's big brother? and you drew the catboy in two color schemes? Beloved? Loveless? one of them is called that, right? And maybe is 11 Zuko and Aang even though that's totally gross?

[sumeria.livejournal.com]

Yes, and also yes, and what do mean, 'totally gross'? It's future ship-- like Harry Potter, one assumes it's not meant to take place when the characters are 12.

[imifumei.livejournal.com]

By "totally gross" I mean I do not ship them ever. Not pre-pubescent, not adolescent. Not in the air, not with a flare. I do not ship them, here or there, I do not ship them anywhere.

[beltenebra.livejournal.com]

These should round out my answers for your list. I found out the answer for 11 before I could guess it :)
2. Cloud and Sephiroth - FF7 although if this was a crack list I'd be guessing Miraki and Tsuzuki :)
5. Soubi and Ritsuka - Loveless
7. Akira and Hikaru? - Hikaru no Go

[neverendingjim.livejournal.com]

Is number eleven Zukaang? Because I'm getting Aang from the balance thing, and Zuko is plenty passionate.

[sumeria.livejournal.com]

I'd say 'yes', but you used a name for the pairing that I do the opposite of endorse, so I can't. But otherwise, yes.
