I feel like saying Elite Beat Agents would be too predictable, so I'll go with Homestuck or Problem Sleuth.

1. The first character I fell in love with:
My interest in the series was a bit vague and plodding for a long time after I'd started reading it, and I can't remember a lot of my feelings beyond "this is cool." But I remember thinking Dave was freakin' awesome as soon as we met the guy.

2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now:
PM. In the very beginning, at her first introduction, I would sometimes forget she existed until we finally got back to her again. It's weird how a character with nearly no lines at all can show so much depth and development. She really interests me from an analytical perspective.

3. The character everyone else loves that I don’t:
I really do enjoy everyone. Though I suppose I'll say that my fascination with the Midnight Crew has waned a bit since the Intermission, yet it seems like half the fanart is of them. Usually making out with the Felt. Which is odd for me.

4. The character I love that everyone else hates:
I dunno, I think the fandom really enjoys everyone?

5. The character I would shag anytime:
next question >>

6. The character I'd want to be like:
A lot of them have personality facets that I think are good things to have in a person. Dave's wit, Jade's optimism, PM's dedication... They all have their faults, too.

7. The character I'd slap:
DAMMIT JACKSPERS STOP IT

8. A pairing that I love:
The ridiculous nature of the Exiles' affections is hilarious to me. Mostly because it's totally obvious WV and AR have no idea how to court anyone, and PM is totally oblivious. Who knows how things'll get with WQ around.

9. A pairing that I despise:
Stitch and Droogs. It's fine that people ship it, but what is up with Droogs being in maid outfits all the time? I just. What?

10. Favorite character:
the selection has too many... PRICES and VAULES

11. What are my five favorite things about the fandom.
They're integrated into the story itself in their own way, they don't take things too seriously all the time, they make great fanart... and two bottles of worcester sauce.

12. What are my five least favorite things about the fandom.
Inevitably, they take some things way too seriously. Sometimes everyone seems to miss what seems really obvious or has been repeated multiple times. The skill of some of the fanartists intimidate me. Two more bottles of worcester sauce.

13. Who are my five favorite characters.
Dave, PM, AR, WV, CD

14. Who are my five least favorite characters.
Uhhh... I really don't dislike any of 'em that much...

15. What are my five favorite pairings.
Seriously you asked me this already

16. What are my five least favorite pairings.
No really can we stop with this I am not that huge on shipping

17. Which character are you most like.
Rose, I 'spose. With at hint of Jade.

18. What is my deep, dark fandom secret.
I know I just said I'm not that into shipping, and I'm not, but I really am pretty disappointed that Rose and Dave are related...

/takes random opportunity to say hello

One Piece?

[universejuice.livejournal.com]

Yay hello! =D;;

1. The first character I fell in love with:
Brook. Seeing him was what convinced me to look at the series.

2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now:
Franky. The muse blindsided me out of nowhere, and I'm still not sure how he managed to overtake me so bad.

3. The character everyone else loves that I don’t:
There are... unfortunately, a lot. I think that Hancock's top billing, though... I don't see much character in her beyond "I HATE MEN... except that one man, who I'll do anything for. LOOK I'M PRETTY AND THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS." She's fine as a supporting character, I guess, but the clamor for her getting more screentime makes me cringe.

4. The character I love that everyone else hates:
I don't pay attention enough to the huger part of fandom to know who people tend to dislike. I do wish Franky got more representation in the fandom, though, he's too supah to be as overlooked as he is.

5. The character I would shag anytime:
Ahaha... moving on...

6. The character I'd want to be like:
Who DOESN'T want to be like Luffy? The willingness to do exactly what you want and be exactly who you want to be, without even bothering to think of how other people might treat you for it? It's living the Ultimate Dream.

7. The character I'd slap:
Sanji. Sorry bro, but the way you treat girls is NOT going to get you any. Try again.

8. A pairing that I love:
Franky/Robin is my OTP. I don't do a lot of shipping, so it's embarrassing how much I love these two. They work just as well as friends, too, it doesn't take away how great their relationship is.

9. A pairing that I despise:
While I don't really loathe any one particular pairing, there are a lot out there I just don't get.

10. Favorite character:
Nnngh...the...the Strawhats?

11. What are my five favorite things about the fandom.
I'm not all that active in the fandom itself, so I'll just list what I love about the series:
Never taking itself too seriously
The mastery of mood whiplash into sob-worthy drama
Total racewin
Awesome characterization
Just. Read any SBS. Oda is a hilarious sunnuva.

12. What are my five least favorite things about the fandom.
Problems I always have with pretty much any fandom is that sometimes they'll take themselves too seriously, and that there are some who will get way too caught up on shipping, though it's always inevitable. I still don't get the black v. tan Usopp argument, and the latest whiplash regarding Sanji is just plain hilarious to me. Also... some fifth thing, idk.

13. Who are my five favorite characters.
Luffy, Brook, Franky, Usopp, Bon Clay

14. Who are my five least favorite characters.
Hancock, Ace, Lucci... er... I think that's it

15. What are my five favorite pairings.
Franky/Robin, Usopp/Kaya, Vivi/Kohza, Zoro/Tashigi, (one-sided) Koby/Luffy

16. What are my five least favorite pairings.
Luffy/Hancock, Zoro/Sanji, Robin/Chopper, Luffy/Crocodile, Luffy/Ace

17. Which character are you most like.
I don't think I'm cool enough to really be compared to any of the amazing characters in this series ._.

18. What is my deep, dark fandom secret.
I don't even remember any of the characters introduced during Marinford. Who was on which side, who had what power, even the names...

[pi90katana.livejournal.com]

There's nowhere near enough love for characters like Franky and Brook, and there really should be more of it. ):

Also, I am ecstatic to find another person who likes Franky/Robin. I don't usually ship things and I tend to just enjoy about any pairing so long as it's written well and believably... but Franky/Robin is just adorable.

Um. ...Uh. >.>

...I remember Akainu. And there were other people. Um... OH! Oars Jr! There. I remembered two people.

[universejuice.livejournal.com]

People need to give more respect to the badasses who aren't also really pretty =\

=DDD I feel like such a dork loving Franky/Robin as much as I do, because usually I don't get into shippings at all, so it's a weird experience. But I am so glad there are people who share the feeling with me. It's just so cute!

YES good job ( ._.)/\(._. ) I kind of spent the whole arc going "what? who was--er--okay..." but most of the fandom seemed to love it, so =D;

[pi90katana.livejournal.com]

Especially ones as awesome as they are. They can kick your ass with carpentry and music - they're just that epic.

I liked the actiony bits, and it was never a dull read. But the whole time I was just kind of waiting for the rest of the crew to show up and being very sad when they didn't. Then again, I was never really as interested in the Whitebeard Pirates (though Whitebeard does get props for having the most badass death ever) as the rest of the fandom, so that may have colored it.

[universejuice.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think the fact that we've been waiting on the crew's return for nearly two years augh has just made me impatient with the recent plots. It's very cool, but it's not the Strawhats, is the big problem.

[pi90katana.livejournal.com]

They have to be back soon, though! The plot always move forward after a flashback. >.>

Maybe they'll just all show up while this one finishes off. I'd laugh.

[universejuice.livejournal.com]

Haha, I feel like a mildly terrible person for reacting to Sabo's death with "does this mean the flashback can end and we get the crew back 8D?" Sorry, kid.

[pi90katana.livejournal.com]

ACTUALLY. I'm in the boat that thinks he's alive (I think I saw him in Robin's cover arc maybe). But yeah. Cute as he is, I don't think anyone would be too sad if it meant we get to the crew faster. XD

[universejuice.livejournal.com]

It's a common theory, yeah, and if that turned out to be true, I would be totally okay with that--'cause, well, otherwise, this flashback would seem mostly useless =D;

[pi90katana.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I have the same problem. I can see it having a point for tying in something with Dragon, but there's no point in introducing the kid and having so much of the flashback deal with him if that's the case.

And OMG that icon is adorable.

[universejuice.livejournal.com]

Definitely. A few small things of importance came up, but since Sabo had such a huge focus, that kid better be more than the requisite flashback death, or Oda will have to deal with... idk. One of his fans being mildly annoyed. I don't think he cares, after episode 454, though.

Innit though |D Laboooooon
