It's Meme Time, Ladies and Gents!

[shamanicshaymin]

Pick as many numbers as you like from the list and I'll (try to) answer it in the comments.

1 - Your current OTP. If you don't have an OTP, one of your favorite characters.
2 - A pairing or fandom you initially didn't consider but someone changed your mind.
3 - A pairing or character you have never liked and probably never will.
4 - A pairing or character you wish you liked but just can't.
5 - Have you added anything stupid/cracky/hilarious to your fandom? If so, what?
6 - What's the longest you've ever been in a fandom?
7 - Do you remember your first OTP? If so, who was in it?
8 - Do you prefer characters/pairings from live-action series or anime series?
9 - Has the Internet caused you to stop liking any fandoms? If so, which one(s) and why?
10 - Name a fandom you didn't care/think about until you saw it all over your social network sites.
11 - Do you get involved with fans and fandom? Or do you just focus on the works that you like?
12 - Your favorite fan artist/author allows you to request one work from him/her. What do you ask for?
13 - Your favorite fanart or fan artist. (I'll settle for "one of your favorites.")
14 - Your favorite fanfiction or fan author. (I'll settle for "one of your favorites.")
15 - Choose a song at random. Which character or pairing does it remind you of?
16 - Invent a random AU for any fandom. (We always need more ideas.)
17 - A ship or fandom that you've abandoned, and why.
18 - A pairing you ship that you don't think anyone else ships. (If you don't ship much, then pick a fandom that you love but that you don't think anyone else is aware of. Small fandoms always need more love.)
19 - Show us an example of your personal head canon.
20 - Do you remember what your first fanwork was?
21 - Self-rec: What's your favorite fanwork you've created?
22 - Are you one of those fans who can't watch anything without shipping?
23 - Five favorite characters from five different fandoms.
24 - Three OTPs from three different fandoms. (And if you don't have that many OTPs, then just talk about three pairings that you like in three different fandoms.)
25 - A fandom that you're in but that you have no ships from.
26 - Ask me a fandom-related question NOT listed above.

General: 10, 17, 25

~MLP~

1. Currently Rarijack. Nomnomnom.
2. Rarishy. I didn't hear about the pairing until the Internet, so I went back and re-watched "Green Isn't Your Color" and fell in love~ ♥
4. I wish I was as big on Derpy Hooves as much as everyone else. Don't get me wrong, I like her, but I'm not obsessed over her the way fandom is. :(

~Pokemon~

19. May and Brendan start off as rivals, but after temporarily working with their respective weather cults (May in Aqua, Brendan in Magma), they realize that they've been manipulated and pitted up against each other, and they work together to save the world. They put their differences aside and respect each other. In the end, May becomes the Champion, and Brendan challenges the Battle Frontier.
20. Some horrible dramatic fanfic called Magic of Hapinasu where Ash & gang find an underground Pokemon city, Ash gets injured, and Mary-Sues galore.

~General~

10. "What's this pony thing everyone keeps talking about? ...Whoa! Guess I better watch 'Rescue From Midnight Castle' then." Puella Magi Madoka Magica could also apply.
17. Zelda. I appear to be stuck in the Ocarina/Majora/Link's Awakening era forever. XD That, and I'd rather read fics in other fandoms than in Zelda anyway.
25. Ib. I friendship Ib & Garry, but I don't ship-ship them. The age difference is too large and they're cuter as Intergenerational Buddies anyway.

[sarajayechan]

Rarity is such a pairable pony. Then again all of them are. XD There are very few pairings among the Mane Six that I don't ship, actually, and only because I never thought of them.

Ooh, I kinda like that. :3 Actually it should be canon, maybe the RSE remakes will do that. I could never get too invested in May or Brendan, not the way I could Dawn/Barry/Lucas or Ethan/Silver/Lyra or the whole Unova crew. I hope remakes will change this.

"Rescue from Midnight Castle" owns. As does "Escape from Catrina".

[shamanicshaymin]

Mane OT6 amirite?

I want Wally to get more development too. I'm a bigger fan of the Sinnoh trio and Unova cast myself. I can't think of anyone who'd be good at contests though (though in my headcanon, May tried and is absolutely horrible at them) and I don't want Brendan to be a ripoff of Ruby. Though now I'm getting images of Wally as a coordinator and I'm thinking that's the sweetest thing in the world.

The MLP specials rock. And oh my gosh, that icon! ;; Catrina/Rep is kinda like a gender-bent version of Butler/Diane in a way.

[sarajayechan]

Totally. <333

YES, Wally. ;_; He'd make a pretty good coordinator, too. I thought of May's mother, but that'd be a ripoff of Dawn. Brendan's mother, maybe? Or Juan or Wallace! They have the flair for it.

...oh hey, it is! :3 I knew there was another reason I adore Butler/Diane.

[shamanicshaymin]

Wally would be an adorable coordinator. ;; I think Wallace and Juan are both coordinators in the Anime, I just checked Bulbapedia.

Not to mention an invitation for h/c. ;;

[sarajayechan]

Yeah, Wallace is. :3 Wallace Cup and all.

Definitely. I wish the special had been longer. T_T

[masu_trout]

24!

[shamanicshaymin]

Roxy/Calliope, Sir Aaron/Lucario, Sonic/Shadow~ ♥

[mercoledi]

Dude. 16. IT MUST BE ANSWERED.

[shamanicshaymin]

Mario following the rules of Madokaverse. The question is, would the Star Spirits be entirely against Kyubey or be Incubators themselves? Though it does give me an image of Geno being like Homura (and a rebel, if we're going with the Star Spirits = Incubators idea), starting out adorable and naive like Twink from Paper Mario, then slowly growing more serious and Star Piece-focused with each failed timeline.
