Laaady, when I say as many as you please, it means AS MANY AS YOU DAMN PLEASE. Fairness, what is that.

ITACHI
+ OTP: Kisame x Itachi.
+ Runner-up pairing: Itachi x Neji. Haven't seen/read it in ages, though.
+ Honorable mention(s): Itachi x Sasuke.
+ Crack pairing(s): Itachi x Neji. It sounded less ludicrous when Itachi was still a bad guy. Oh well. I'd still like to read it in a non-massacre AU.
+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't: All the Itachi x Deidara or Itachi x Hidan. Especially with Hidan. Just because they're pretty doesn't mean it makes sense! Also, just because their partners aren't pretty bishounen doesn't mean they don't belong to each other, damnit.
+ Ship I like that everyone else seems to hate: Kisame x Itachi ? It's not THAT unpopular, but it's the only one I think some people must hate.

INO
+ OTP: Shikamaru x Ino (obviously).
+ Runner-up pairing: Ino x Sakura.
+ Honorable mention(s): Uh. IDK. InoKarin sounds interesting enough, except it feels like fandom wants them together "because they're both bitches". Do not want THAT, thank you.
+ Crack pairing(s): InoKarin.
+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't: InoSai. He's LYING to her. He has absolutely NO INTEREST in her. The only reason she doesn't notice is because he's just eye-candy to flirt with to her.
+ Ship I like that everyone else seems to hate: Shikamaru x Ino. Granted, not EVERYONE, but a lot of people.

SAKURA
+ OTP: None. I just don't care enough.
+ Runner-up pairing: N/A
+ Honorable mention(s): I quite like Ino x Sakura, but mostly as a one-sided crush on Ino's part. A past one.
+ Crack pairing(s): Sakura x Karin would be hot. Very hot. Also fuck yeah, bitching about asshole!Sasuke. Just leave the abused wife antics to Naruto, girls.
+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't: I don't really care about her main pairings, so.
+ Ship I like that everyone else seems to hate: N/A

NARUTO
+ OTP: Sasuke x Naruto
+ Runner-up pairing: Gaara x Naruto
+ Honorable mention(s): Neji x Naruto.
+ Crack pairing(s): N/A
+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't: Naruto x Sakura? IDK.
+ Ship I like that everyone else seems to hate: N/A

HINATA
+ OTP: None. I don't like her enough.
+ Runner-up pairing: Kiba x Hinata. They were cute, and he doesn't seem the type to flat-out forget about her or her feelings.
+ Honorable mention(s): Naruto x Hinata, because even if he's kind of an asshole, he doesn't do it on purpose. Also, she's already grown up, so she still got something positive out of that bond.
+ Crack pairing(s): N/A
+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't: Neji x Hinata. I don't really hate it, I just... Neji SCREAMS "Gay! Gay! I'm GAY!" to me. So, no.

KARIN
+ OTP: JuugoKarin. It just... IDK. It's cute. Creepy, unhealthy but very very cute. *sucker for fluffy romance with dark background*
+ Runner-up pairing: Suigetsu Karin
+ Honorable mention(s): Sakura x Karin
+ Crack pairing(s): JUUGOKARIN. I just love it. (Love Juugo, too. It might help. Kinda see him as the reaaally shy type. Come on. You KNOW you want to have that interacting with KARIN.)

like gossiping but okay
PFFFFT THIS IS LIKE SO TOTALLY TRUE. Must be why I don't particularly like gossip IRL - fandom feeds all my gossiping needs already XD
+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't:
+ Ship I like that everyone else seems to hate:
+ Ship I like that everyone else seems to hate:

[ishime.livejournal.com]

Arh, Karin's part was cut off. Let's try again.

KARIN
+ OTP: JuugoKarin. It just... IDK. It's cute. Creepy, unhealthy but very very cute. *sucker for fluffy romance with dark background*
+ Runner-up pairing: Suigetsu Karin
+ Honorable mention(s): Sakura x Karin
+ Crack pairing(s): JUUGOKARIN. I just love it. (Love Juugo, too. It might help. Kinda see him as the reaaally shy type. Come on. You KNOW you want to have that interacting with KARIN.)
+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't: I don't like Suigetsu x Karin as much as a lot of people seem to do?
+ Ship I like that everyone else seems to hate: JuugoKarin isn't hated, it just DOESN'T EXIST. Raaaah. What's wrong with you, fandom?!

[hungrytiger11.livejournal.com]

Why does ShikaIno get no love? Seriously!

Also, Juugo and Karin would be cute...but also creepy because she at the very least was his prison warden for some time (though, he didn't want to leave his jail cell???) and possibly she helped experiement on him... Same for Karin/ Suigetsu, only more banter-y.


Your Sakura answers make me laugh. I put her on because I thought " I don't think I've ever seen ishme mention her...." Also the comment about Neji made me laught :D

[ishime.livejournal.com]

Because most people hate Ino / ship ShikaTema.
No seriously, don't ask me, I don't get how you do either. Pffft.

For Juugo and Karin... I hadn't thought of it that way. I don't have a very good grasp of the timeline, so I don't know if we've been told when each of them came to the Sound, and when Karin became a ward. From the fic I read about her/Hebi, I had got a headcanon of her being a guinea-pig FIRST, and then getting on the other side of the bars (most likely because of a special ability). I don't picture her cillingly deserting, and I don't think Orochimaru turned a kidnappee into a jailer right away.
Also Juugo came to Orochimaru's labs of his own free will. He wouldn't hold a grudge over the experiments the same way Suigetsu does. He doesn't seem to resent Karin for anything in canon - does he...?
*/ramble*

I'm... glad my answer about Hinata didn't rub you wrong. I was worried I'd hit a sore spot or something é__è

Also, I've been wondering: have you ever role-played? (I was thinking Naruto and either Team Ten or Hinata but - any characters?)

[hungrytiger11.livejournal.com]

That is right. Karin came some time around the same time as Sasuke did, because she was part of the Chuunin exam as her original homeland's bunch. Juugo was there much longer, possibly for as far back as her *can* remember.

I dunno, I find Karin interesting because I find her job as Prison Warden (and possibly as a mad scientist in training, though maybe that's just head canon) interesting. I mean, how'd she get it so fast? Why was she loyal to Orochimaru (until Sasuke showed up she was going to continue watching her prison indefinitely? WHat inspired such loyalty?)


Plus I love that she's the first person ever in Naruto! verseto get over a crush.... :)

No, I've never role played. Just wrote fiction, but I tend to get extensive head canon for that...

[ishime.livejournal.com]

I think however young he was when he arrived at Orochimaru's place, Juugo remembers his life before he did - or at least the horrific, bloody and gore parts. (That, or it's all in his head and Orochimaru brainwashed him. Oooh, shiney plotbunny ~ ♥)

Yeah, I'd like to know how and why she ended up a warden, and loyal to Orochimaru. Though given her attitude toward Sasuke, I suspect this girl suffers from major Stockholm syndrome. Word on the "crush" part, too. >__>

Oh. Well, headcanon is Awesome! It means you have a good grasp of the characters! I tend to fail at that a lot.
Why? I mean, you never gave it that much though, never had an opportunity to try, or you're just not interested?

[hungrytiger11.livejournal.com]

Ah...I'd forgotten that he had memories like that. Poor Juugo.


Oh! I had never thought of Stockholm Syndrome. There needs to be a story expounding on this. Now, this will go into my ideas about Karin.

As for the roleplaying...I never heard about it till college and then it seemed like it would take a lot of time.

[ishime.livejournal.com]

Well, it's not explicitely stated in canon, but he's supposed to have sought Orochimaru's labs as a place he could lock himself in and get his "problem" solved... Also, given his reaction after his first killing spree, it seems pretty obvious to me that he DOES have some (or more likely MANY) traumatic memories of the results of his murderous episodes. He didn't seem to be concious or remember what he did exactly, but jeez, with his strenght and mental illness, the remains of his victims would be enough to give any child a severe trauma, meh thinks.

Well, it depends on what sort of roleplay you do (roleplaying on LJ seems easier and faster than what I used to do on forums when I was younger), and on what you call "a lot of time". It also depends on how fast you write, and how much of a perfectionist you are ^^U

Ship I like that everyone else seems to hate NoboruHaji, as an actal pairing, not just a one-sided crush. Because screw UST, these two could be SO DAMN HOT ;__;

NOBORU

Ship I like that everyone else seems to hate NoboruHaji as an actual pairing?

YUME

Okay I lied. JiuYume

*is shamelessly considering giving Yume a brother among the guinea pigs serving the Wind Daimyo, JUST SO SHE CAN SHIP BRO=>YUME*
*is also shamelessly considering shipping Yume with this hypothetic 3rd teammate who has absolutely no characterization except for the fact he knows medical jutsus*

KoushaAyumi. Hate, rivalry and UST all over the place, baby ~

À une époque, tu m'avais assuré que le Haji/Noboru "actif" resterait en dehors de l'histoire, je crois bien ^^; Désolée, ça m'amuse beaucoup en fic, mais en RP je doute d'avoir envie que ça arrive... Sinon, hell yeah pour les jumelles! J'avais oublié leurs noms, sinon je les aurais cité dans ma réponse au mème aussi! (Ils pourraient se retrouver entre grands maniaques des illusions ♥)

Pfff, pauvre troisième-équipier-inexistant! XD
Et waaaah, tu m'avais pas parlé du Kerai/Ayumi mais j'aime bien l'idée! Mais c'est peut-être parce que je viens d'aller voir mon métamorph à la pension.
Ah ha, toi aussi tu as du mal avec Looser-sama, hein? Ça lui donne un côté chaste je trouve.

GinRupi, in a horrific, abusive way? => *NODS*
C'est beau comme tu l'imagines fidèle à Grimmjow =D

"hypothetic 3rd teammate who has absolutely no characterization except for the fact he knows medical jutsus"

Tu me donnes presque envie de ressortir mon idée d'albinos et d'en faire quelque chose de correct XD *sort

(peut être un clan qui venait de Konoha, sauf qu'il y a eu des problème et donc ils ont déménagé ? Ou alors, un clan de nomade qui se sont sédentarisé pour x ou y raisons ?)

(n'empêche, être un albinos dans un desert, cela craint... cela pourrait être intéressant à jouer, mine de rien *sort)

Hahaha, that sounds pretty neat- WAIT.
Avant de penser à NR, Moussaillon, BRANN IS WAITING FOR A NIKITA TO SCARE/HARASS/GROPE THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF HIM (http://trickyhugs.livejournal.com/666.html).

[chonaku55.livejournal.com]

WAIT, no rant, no offense, je suis en train d'écrire ce rp, t'inquiète, mais j'écris lentement, d'accord (et j'ai plein de hum, ennuie, on va dire) ? (pardon si je t'ai froissé ou peiné, cela dit). Brann va bientôt faire joujou, promis.

Et ton icone me fait peur parce que cette nuit, j'ai rêvé de tu me .... "prévenais" euh... comme ça quoi. C'était effrayant.

[ishime.livejournal.com]

Hey, hey, I kidranted you, alright?

(PFFFFT, je traumatise les gens avec mes icones, maintenant. GO ME.)
