it's wrong then it's right.

I finished the Soul Eater anime. It was awesome, but that's not the point of this post.

QUICK, GIVE ME SHIPS.

Y'know, for...educational purposes.

idk, I want to do something fannish; I just haven't figured out exactly what, though. Maybe something a little fanmix-y that isn't really a fanmix, just for the hell of it.

Oh, and it doesn't have to be strictly Soul Eater. >_>

I know the feeling of wanting to do something fannish. Did add some lines to some "Monsters VS Aliens" stuff I was working on, but thats all I did today. Bleh.

Oh, I did finally get back to you on the question meme and asked you your questions. Just letting you know in case you weren't alerted to it. Livejournal doesn't alert me to everything. So wasn't sure if it was the same with you.

Hmm, I haven't written anything in ... forever. I can write something, but I haven't tried my hand at fanfiction for a few years. I was thinking of doing another fanmix meme (http://samatethecookie.livejournal.com/110468.html), especially for ships I haven't tried before. I enjoy a challenge!

Uhhhh, I just looked at my e-mail and got your questions. It isn't so much LJ as much as it is me being too lazy to check my inbox. D: I'll answer the questions right away! Sorry about that.

[cheriestar.livejournal.com]

Eh, don't be sorry. I just replied today. I was having trouble coming up with questions. Still have to come up with questions for the other friend.

Heh, I do have a ship in my head that I've recently gotten into, but I'm not sure if I should suggest it. I know you have nothing against slash mind you. Just not sure you meant canon or fanon pairings. (Because Zuko/Sokka is certainly fanon:) )

[samatethecookie.livejournal.com]

I know what you mean. It took me a few days to think of questions for everyone, so take your time.

Oh man, I am the ultimate multishipper, you can throw almost anything at me and I'll try it. I mean it. (I won't touch incest, though. Unless it's Ed/Al from Full Metal Alchemist - which I reluctantly like because I have brothers and sisters and omg ew DX - I can't do it.) My OTPs tend to be different and depend heavily on canon context, but I like crack/fanon ships too.

And I adore Zuko/Sokka. I'll try something with them. <3

Also, sorry for the editing +50 times. D:

[cheriestar.livejournal.com]

I stay away from the incest stuff too myself ( though I swear I've been tempted by the Jet twins from transformers animated.). But yeah, crack/fanon pairings are quite fun. Not to say there is anything with wrong with canon or make some sense pairings:)

[samatethecookie.livejournal.com]

Fanon/crack pairings are really fun if you find a match that go amazingly well together. There's some fanon ships I do prefer over whatever canon gives me. It's a little rarer these days, though. The canon has to bore me to tears before I start preferring fanon ships.

Eeee, thank you! <3 These are awesome ships - especially Squall/Yuffie, because it's really new and I haven't delved into it yet. And HELL YES, OT3.

[http://users.livejournal.com/beyondheroism__/]

I've loved Squall/Yuffie from the first KH's wee beginnings. I OTP it to great amounts, even though I don't talk about it all too often. I like it best when it's bittersweet and full of sad references to the people they loved first (Rinoa and Vincent).

RiSoKai is pretty much canon in my eyes. The game really sets them up as a trio - no more, no less.

[samatethecookie.livejournal.com]

I think I ended up liking Squall/Yuffie best out of the possible Final Fantasy ships in KH because I saw others shipping Squall/Aerith which baffled me and drew me to the conclusion that Squall/Yuffie is more likely to happen. Then Yuffie commented on how cute Squall was when he worried about the dalmation puppies, and it took off from there. XD I like the references to their first loves, too! Mostly because I'm a huge Vincent/Yuffie fan and I like to see Yuffie struggle with that and her feelings for Squall.

The game really sets them up as a trio - no more, no less.

Agreed. It's even more obvious in KH2 when all three of them set out to find each other. I can't imagine Sora/Kairi or Sora/Riku or Kairi/Riku existing without the other with them. It's not ... cruel, because that's too strong of a word for it, but it sucks when the trio is drastically changed into a "these two people are together while their other friend is a cheerleader". :/

I started liking it after stumbling upon some Squall/Yuffie fics on FFN way back in the day. I hadn't really thought all that much about shipping between the side characters, but I read that first story and got majorly hooked on S/Y. I also think Vincent/Yuffie and Squall/Rinoa are cool ships, but if I had to pick between any of them I'd probably go with Squall/Yuffie. They click better for me than V/Y and S/R do. I dig the baggage and the pasts and how he's more growly then Vincent probably is. Or something.

And I am totes with you on the trio shipping. Sometimes there's canon trios and it's okay to break them up into a couple+1, but for some reason I just... can't see that with Sora, Riku and Kairi. They tried way too hard to all get back to one another and save each other from darkness and what-not. I love all the connections between them. Especially how it seems, at first glance, that Kairi and Riku's connection with one another isn't as strong as their connections to Sora, but it's still there and powerful and subtle and he gave himself to the darkness to save her and she knew it was him even when Sora didn't and... <3333

[samatethecookie.livejournal.com]

I don't think I'd choose Squall/Yuffie over the rest at the end of the day, but I'm too fascinated with them together to not ship them. I also find them more interesting than any FF ship in KH. (Except Cloud/Aerith and Cloud/Tifa being the obvious ones.) The baggage is what makes them engrossing to write/read about.

... Also, I keep wondering where your Squall/Yuffie icons are from. D: Is that from the manga? It looks like it is, but I wasn't sure because I only have one book and it's based on KH2.

I love what you point out about Riku and Kairi. IMO, they're a underrated ship in the KH fandom, at least in comparison to Sora/Kairi and Sora/Riku. I didn't like the ship in the first KH game - because it really doesn't seem like Riku and Kairi would work, ever - until I played the second one and had it click for me from there. They're just ... it's not that obvious, but one is definitely there. <3
