Favorites Stuff, as copied from R-girl, because I'm bored and because I can :P {updated 7/14/12}

So, yeah. I'm bored, I feel like doing this, and I want to give my brain a break and procrastinate a bit on the personal essay I'm supposed to be writing. Deal with it, I suppose. This list is appropriated from the profile of my dearest friend raberbagirl, but filled with what my answers would be instead. ;)  And no manga section, as I hate manga (I can't read it to save my life; same goes for comic books. Graphic novels of any kind and Kiryn do not mix well).

Onwards we go!

Favorites
Character: Mat Cauthon, from The Wheel of Time series. So much love, so little time. Eventually, once I get up my big post about favorite characters, you'll get sick of hearing about this dude. ;)

Female Character: Maleficent, from Disney's Sleeping Beauty, always and forever.

Anime Character: Kyouya Ootori, from Ouran High School Host Club. Aka the only anime I've watched all the way through, and loved.

Video Game Character: *headdesk* fffffffff. Um...crap. Let's go with Balthier, from Final Fantasy XII. Because I could never choose a favorite character from Kingdom Hearts; there's too many that I adore. Tseng and Aerith from Final Fantasy VII get honorable mentions, though.

Character from a live-action movie: *ponders* Erik Lensherr, from X-Men: First Class.

Character from an animated movie: Prince Phillip, from Disney's Sleeping Beauty, my other eternal love.

Character from a live-action TV show: Dean Winchester, from Supernatural; yet another name to add to the list of troubled, devil-may-care, jerks with hearts of gold, badass balls of angsty fluffiness, chivalrous perverts, rogue anti-heroes that have got trauma conga lines that are miles long, and that I love to ridiculous heights.

Character from an animated TV show: Rarity, from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic; she totally rocks my socks, dude.

Book Character (that's not Mat): Sirius Black, from the Harry Potter series; he steals away most of my fanfic writings

Male Character as far as pure looks: Rufus ShinRa, from Final Fantasy VII; seriously, fuck you, dude.

Female Character as far as pure looks: Jo Harvelle from Supernatural; she's got the most glorious hair I've ever seen on a girl. (Similarly, Gwaine from BBC's Merlin has the most glorious hair I've ever seen on a guy, but I like him for more than just his looks, so.)

Pairing: Remus/Sirius from Harry Potter, my OTP of OTPs

Romantic Pairing that's not Remus/Sirius: Uh....let's go with Hades/Persephone, from Greek myth, before I break my brain.

Platonic Pairing: Currently my brain's stuck on Lancelot and Merlin, so let's go with that; from BBC's Merlin.

OT3: Merlin/Arthur/Gwen, from BBC's Merlin, is my final answer (for the time being XD). But this is my only OT3 where I genuinely prefer them to all be together, as opposed to split off, so...

OT4: James/Lily/Sirius/Remus, from HP; mostly family, maybe a few relaxed lines, but no sexy times except for J/L and S/R. ;)

OT5: Angeal/Sephiroth/Genesis/Zack/Cloud, from FFVII; and oh yes, I go there. Totally. And this works surprisingly well.

OT6: Twilight Sparkle/Pinkie Pie/Fluttershy/Rarity/Applejack/Rainbow Dash, from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic; and yep, I totally have an OT6. Mostly friendship here, as I'm many things, but a furry is not one of them. ;)

OT7: Honey/Mori/Haruhi/Tamaki/Kyouya/Kaoru/Hikaru, from OHSHC; and really, why break them up? The canon family set up, please and thank you. And if Mommy and Daddy get some alone time every now and again, I won't complain. :P

Crack pairing: Terra/Cinderella, from KH; I've got many, many, many more, but I'll never love a crack pairing like I do Terrella. Second place probably goes to Cassandra/Lizardman, from Soul Calibur. For TOTAL crack, Maximus/Samson has been growing on me (they're the horses from Tangled and Sleeping Beauty, respectively)....which I blame completely on my friend Ballpoints. XD

Cargo ship: Dean/Impala, from Supernatural; 100% canon, I'm telling you...also, rather tragic. (FYI: the Impala is Dean's car)

Ex-romantic pairing: Princess Celestia\Discord, from MLP:FiM. Seriously. And sadly, pairings like Grindelwald/Dumbledore and Erik/Charles could probably fit here too. But I won't. Because I'm stubborn. Also, Severus/Lily kind of fits here too.

Incest Ship: I have four of these, now; Blackcest, Hikaru/Kaoru, Weiss/Nero, and the newest is Morgause/Morgana.

Fan art OTP: Meg/Ariel, a Disney crossover pairing. And I can't help it, they're just so adorable together, and Meg's potential interactions with Melody amuse the hell out of me. ^^

Book: Harry Potter series
Play: The Laramie Project (Seriously, if you have any heart at all, you will be absolutely bawling by the end of this play)
Movie: The Fox and the Hound, from Disney
Anime: Ouran High School Host Club
TV show (live action): Supernatural
TV show (animated): My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
Author: Robert Jordan (RIP)
Game: Oregon Trail XD; also the Kingdom Hearts series and The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe on the Gamecube
Genre: Fantasy
Fanfiction genre: Depends on my mood.

Actor (live action): Andy Serkis
Actress (live action): Julie Andrews
Voice Actor: Oliver Quinn
Voice Actress: Shanelle Gray

And there you have it! Hope y'all had fun perusing the list! :)

Hm, I get Seph and Genesis having skewed morals and stuff, but I expect more of Angeal.... :/ And I dunno, legal ages can vary (hence why I'm not as uptight about ages 16 and 17), but I will always, always think 14 is too young, no matter what the circumstances. (Well, okay, some science-fiction can get weird; but in MOST circumstances, which would include FF7.) Again, child soldiers thing. Just because children are capable of certain things doesn't mean they have the emotional maturity to handle them and/or to handle issues in other areas of life.

I mean, Gundam Wing. Five fifteen-year-old boys trained under arduous conditions to pilot giant war machines, sent to Earth to basically massacre everyone in sight 'til their bosses get what they want. I don't care how expert an assassin Hiiro is or how well Duo handles himself with the ladies or how amazingly Trowa can analyze people and situations or how in-tune Quatre is with other people's feelings or how passionate and dedicated to his beliefs Wufei is, those boys are still completely screwed up. Hiiro doesn't know how to function in a normal high school. Trowa is reduced to a shivering wreck, acting almost like the toddler he was when he first became a war orphan. Quatre literally goes insane and commences a destructive rampage. Wufei can't handle failure, he thinks that he's a completely worthless and shamed person who has nothing left to live for, just because an older and more skilled soldier beat him in a sword duel. I mean, they're out there doing things that no normal kid should ever have to deal with, and I think they should therefore have a say in the resulting political issues, but I still wouldn't consider them adults. Adults having to deal with the same crap those boys did would emerge from those experiences very differently.

Sorry, rant over. *sweatdrop*

WHOA, okay, we're getting into territory I'd rather not discuss~ XD, but I guess just real quick - when I talk about seme & uke, I mostly mean the relationship roles. Because I think physical seme/uke is totally stupid, a person shouldn't be obligated to take the same...um...position every time. (With AkuRoku as an exception because I can't stand the thought of Roxas as physical uke, either. I've even tried thinking of altered ages, but it still doesn't work; even if Axel is like 17 and Roxas is in his mid-20s, I still want to hurl at the thought of Roxas on bottom. But then Axel on bottom only works if he's older than Roxas, because if he's younger, then RokuAku has the same problem as AkuRoku and gaaaaahhhhh, I hate this pairing. This is one of the few times when canon influences AU too much for me.) I mean, there's something called taking turns...ew ew ew I hate sex.... And yeah, I saw the TVtropes page about stuff like semes who are on bottom or ukes who are on top, etc., and yeah, that makes sense to me and sex is disgusting let's talk about something else now. X(

LIKE XEMSAI LOL. The one I'm thinking of, it was something like Saix turns into a raging berserker werewolf on full moons and an adorable puppy on new moons, or something like that. I didn't really mind it because Saix was IC when in human form (and didn't remember being a dog), and Demyx cutely loved puppy-Saix so much. There were a couple of XemSai yaoi moments, but otherwise it was pretty much played for laughs and focused on humor, the Org trying to figure out what to do with this cutely destructive blue puppy. The ones I can't stand are when Saix, in HUMAN form, treats Xemnas with dog-like slavish devotion and has zero self-confidence, and of course Xemnas is written as if he's a decent human being with kind feelings and concern for everyone's welfare. *eyeroll* Hasn't occurred to anyone to try the pairing on more equal footing, has it. I mean, I can't imagine Xemnas ever actually being submissive to Saix in any way, but Sai should at least be putting up way more of a fight, he's not a freaking doormat.

*deletes paragraph because this comment is too long*

If I don't respond for a while today, it means I'm working on my "R.girl has to be a responsible adult" tasks. If I write back quickly, I'm being a fail. XD
