BECAUSE I MUST DO EVERYTHING SCATHACH DOES

Six Pairings I Like:

1. Ichigo/Rukia
2. Ishida/Orihime
3. Chad/Karin
4. Urahara/Yoruichi
5. Rukia/Kaien
6. Shuuhei/Rukia

Three Ships I've Abandoned:

7. Nemu/Ikkaku
8. Rukia/Grimmjow
9. Orihime/Chad

Three Ships I've Never Liked:

10. Hitsugaya/Hinamori
11. Ichigo/Orihime
12. Byakuya/Renji

Two Ships that have Piqued my Interest:

13. Byakuya/Soi Fong
14. Renji/Rangiku

The questions:

#1. Why do you dislike #11 (Ichigo/Orihime) so much?
I think they'd be awful together. She'd try and give him what he wants instead of what he needs, he'd run right over her emotionally...if they dated, I can't see it lasting.

#2. Who do you know that ships #13 (Byakuya/Soi Fong)?
I don't know anyone who ships them. I just think they would be cracky, arrogant fun together.

#3. What would be your ideal scenario for couple #3 (Chad/Karin)?
She grows up a bunch of years, then they have an oddball relationship that is punctuated by bouts of making out. They might get married one day, but they'll live together until Karin finishes her degree.

#4. What is your favorite moment for #1 (Ichigo/Rukia)?
OH MAN. I cannot possibly choose a single one, not at all. I'm sorry, it's impossible. But I can pick from my favorites. Mooshy answer: the incredibly open, emotional look on Ichigo's face when he's watching Orihime heal a near-dead Rukia. Woobie partnership answer: the "tell me when you're ready to talk, and I will listen" exchange from Memories in the Rain. It was a big step forward for them as friends.

#5. How long have you been following couple #6 (Shuuhei/Rukia)?
I've liked the idea for months and months now, ever since Shuuhei was pegged as a possible guy for Rukia to lose her virginity to in the Academy, during an idle conversation. The creation of [livejournal.com profile] shuuruki renewed that interest.

#6. What's the story with #8 (Rukia/Grimmjow)? What made you stop caring?
I still like it, especially when Scathach writes Shinigrimmy verse, but my focus has drifted away from bad boy crack pairings for Rukia at the moment.

#7. Which ship do you prefer--#2 or #4?
Ishida/Orihime vs. Urahara/Yoruichi? Probably the latter, as their relationship has a lot more layers to it in my head.

#8. You have the power to make one ship non-existent. Choose from #10 or #12.
I would never be against people shipping who they like, but if I had to choose, Hitsugaya/Hinamori over Byakuya/Renji. I want Hinamori to take care of herself, and Hitsugaya just wants to take care of her himself. Byakuya/Renji doesn't bother me, I just don't see it at all.

#9. What interests you about #14 (Renji/Rangiku)?
They seem like they could have a lot of fun together and also be hot. Whether or not it would last, it could be really good for them both. A break from the romantic drama.

#10. When did you stop liking #7 (Nemu/Ikkaku)?
When I just stopped being interested in Nemu at all.

#11. Did your waning interest in #9 (Orihime/Chad) kill your interest in the series?
Heh, no. They'd still be cute together, they just haven't interacted in a while and I haven't thought about them much.

#12. What's a song that reminds you of #5 (Rukia/Kaien)?
Four Tet's "My Angel Rocks Back and Forth," an instrumental piece that has a touch of sadness to it.

#13. Which of these ships do you love the most right now?
Ichigo/Rukia, always and forever, the OTP of my heart. Their friendship and equal partnership is awesome enough that I don't even necessarily need to see them ever make out...though I would still enjoy it.

#14. Which do you dislike the most?
Ichigo/Orihime. Part of that is probably due to the creepy Stepford way some fans of the pairing view it, which is probably not fair to the pairing itself or to the non-creepy fans...but there you go.

#15. If you could have any of these pairings double date, who would they be?
Urahara/Yoruichi and just about anyone, I think. Maybe Ichigo/Rukia for the hilarity.

#16. Have #2 (Ishida/Orihime) kissed yet? Elaborate if yes.
Heh, no. She doesn't realize he's a boy yet. Maybe someday.

#17. Did #4 (Urahara/Yoruichi) have a happy ending? Do you think one is likely?
No, because with them, nothing ends.

#18. What would make you start shipping #14?
I assume this means actively rooting for, since I'm already interested in them. More on-page interaction, probably.

#19. If only one could happen, which would you prefer--#2 or #6?
Ishida/Orihime vs. Shuuhei/Rukia? I want Orihime to be happy, but probably Shuuhei/Rukia for the sheer "WHAAAAAAT?" reactions of both fandom and other characters.

#20. You have the power to decide the fate of #10. What happens to them?
She explicitly tells him how much she loves him but explains she needs to be strong for herself. They stay friends and he gets over her after a period of awkwardness, still friends.
