Funny survey to try to cheer myself up. XD
Apr. 6th, 2006 08:30 pmThanks for finding it,
_tehriah!
Choose twelve characters from your fandoms, then answer the questions under the link. Do not look at the questions beforehand.
1. Satoshi (Pocket Monsters)
2. Toboe (Wolf's Rain)
3. Franz (Gankutsuou)
4. Claus (Last Exile)
5. Ayato (RahXephon)
6. Spike (Cowboy Bebop)
7. Ryuichi (Gravitation)
8. Shikamaru (Naruto)
9. Ritsuka (Loveless)
10. Van (Escaflowne)
11. Yamada-san (Densha Otoko) (Just for the fun of it...kekeke. And I can't seem to remember his first name off the top of my head, so he'll just be "Yamada" for now.)
12. Naota (FLCL)
Yeah, decided to go all guys, varied ages/species/personalities/etc., and all from different series...just to see what happens. XD;
1. Who would make a better college professor, 6 or 11? What subjects would they teach?
Well...Yamada seems pretty intelligent, if a bit...um, shy and nerdy (to put it mildly). He could teach "How to Play Video Games" or something. I'm not totally sure what his strengths are other than being a hopeless otaku and very compassionate and willing to impress, so I can't entirely say. x.x Spike would arguably make the worst college professor in the history of mankind, so I don't think any college should ever hire him under any circumstances.
2. Do you think 4 is hot? How hot?
Claus? I don't know about *hot* exactly, but he is absolutely frickin' adorable. I'd give him excessive love and hugs if he existed, but I'm not quite sure how one can go about rating his "hotness". I love him dearly? Is that good enough?
3. 12 sends 8 on a mission. What is it, and does it succeed?
Naota sends Shikamaru on a mission. *Snort* Okay, Naota hires Shikamaru to watch over the bakery while he goes on a multi-dimensional search for Haruko. Unfortunately, Shikamaru falls asleep on the job and Naota comes back to discover that Shikamaru is still passed out uneventfully on the counter. So, I'm not sure if the mission failed or not because nothing happened to the bakery, but on the other hand, Shikamaru didn't do anything. So, you decide.
4. What is or would be 9's favorite book?
Ritsuka? He likes philosophy and psychology. I seem to recall him reading Nietsche (I'm sure I didn't spell that right) or whatever-his-name is at some point, so I'd suppose that's the sort of thing he likes to read.
5. Would it make more sense for 2 to swear fealty to 6, or the other way around?
If such a circumstance were to happen, it would make much more sense for Toboe to swear fealty to Spike than for it to happen the other way around. But seeing as these circumstances are just weird to begin with, I can't really see it happening period. XD; Plus, Spike hates kids and dogs, both of which Toboe could be considered, and I'm not sure how Toboe would end up running into Spike in the first place...
6. For some reason, 5 is looking for a roommate. Should s/he share a studio apartment with 9 or with 10?
I'm not entirely sure how much Ayato would enjoy sharing an apartment with a twelve-year-old angsty catboy (though I imagine Ritsuka would simply shut himself in his room and not interact with Ayato any more than he had to), so I suppose I'll go with Van, despite his impulsive nature. At least they're closer in age, can angst about robots and love lives together, and would potentially enjoy each other's company at least somewhat.
7. 2, 7 and 12 have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss?
Toboe, Ryuichi, and Naota. Ohhh dear. That worries me. Let's see...a wolf pup, a 31-year-old rock star who acts like he's four, and a "mature" twelve-year-old boy. I think Naota would probably be roped into going to Chuck E Cheese's or something by Ryuichi and Toboe, Toboe and Ryuichi would play endlessly in the ball pit and crawling in the tubes and such, and Naota would leave in less than five minutes because he couldn't take it any more.
8. 3 challenges 10 to a duel. What happens?
Franz challenges Van to a duel? Well...um...I'm having trouble imagining this. I haven't seen Franz's swordsmanship skills yet (provided he actually has any/shows off any?), but I'm going to suppose Van would win simply based off of the principle of having more experience. I...really don't know. I admit, I'm stumped.
9. If 1 stole 8's most precious possession, how would he get it back?
I'm not sure Satoshi would steal much to begin with, and even if he did I'm not entirely sure Shikamaru would care or do anything about said situation. Unless it was one of his comrades or something, in which case Shikamaru would do the minimum amount of effort he could to get them back (even if it meant braving Pikachu's Thunderbolt), and then go back to lazing about as usual.
10. Suggest a title for a story in which 7 and 12 both attain what they most desire.
Normalcy--At Last! Wow, that worked out pretty well. That's all they both want, really--normal, mundane lives that don't involve anything troublesome. Unless mentioned troublesome thing is a certain kunoichi or space alien, in which case they might have to make exceptions.
11. What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 and 1 to work together?
They'd do it without hesitation, as the shounen characters they are. "Chimuwaaku da!" All either would have to do is ask politely.
12. If 7 visited you for the weekend, how would you get along?
Oh, we would get along wonderfully! I could wear my Kumagorou costume, which I'm sure would absolutely *delight* Ryu-chan, and we could snuggle and attack random people with our weirdness, and when we get into our serious moods we could consult each other and...it would be a beautiful, beautiful weekend. I can tell you that.
13. If you could command 3 to perform any one task or service for you, what would it be?
Ha, I put Franz as number 3, too,
_tehriah. Yeah...um...you want me to be an honest fangirl? Like...not make something up that sounds reasonable and intelligent? Okay, you asked for it. ...I'd ask him to make out with Albert and let me take pictures. XD;; And then I'd enjoy them for years afterwards.
14. Does anyone on your friends list write or draw 11?
*Giggle* Not that I know of. I imagine there's Densha Otoko fanfiction and fanart out there somewhere, but not anywhere I've stumbled across. Pretty fun stuff, though. XD Anyone want to try their hand at it?
15. If 2 had to choose sides between 4 and 5, which would it be?
He wouldn't choose sides--he'd do his best to quell the argument, as he's just such a little pacifist. (Walrus incident aside... *Cough*) I can't imagine for the life of me what Claus and Ayato would have to argue about, though--they'd both relatively laid back and have similar personalities.
16. What might 10 shout while charging into battle?
...I'm sure he's shouted some things while charging into battle... I just don't remember what they are at the moment. @_@
17. If you chose a song to represent 8, which song would you choose?
"At the River" by Groove Armada. That...might just be one of the funniest things I've thought of in this survey yet, which is saying a lot. XD;; I would make a godawful AMV of that, if one godawful, brilliant AMV didn't already exist to that particular song.
18. 1, 6, and 12 are having dim sum at a Chinese restaurant. There is only one scallion pancake left, and they all reach for it at the same time. Who gets to eat it?
As hungry as Satoshi might be, and as disinterested as Naota might be, Spike's the one with the gun, the grumbling stomach, and the major pickpocket/jeet kun do skills. Enough said.
19. What might be a good pick-up line for 2 to use on 10?
*Laughs* Honestly...no idea. Toboe hitting on Van is a little too ridiculous for me to even comprehend, much less to ponder what they might have in common.
20. What would 5 most likely be arrested for?
Destroying things in the RahXephon. It happens with big robot/god-things like that.
21. What is 6's secret?
...Which one? If you mean the whole Julia thing, I don't think that's much of a secret any more.
22. If 11 and 9 were racing to a destination, who would get there first?
Judging off of the last time Yamada had to deliver something under time restraints (namely, getting beaten up by little girls, ending up in the sewer, missing cabs, and endless other difficulties), and based off the fact that Ritsuka is quite capable and level-headed, Ritsuka would win hands-down, even if Soubi tried to molest him on the way there.
(23 is in the accent bar with Natalie Portman's British accent.)
I would totally answer that if I knew how.
24. 1 (Satoshi) and 9 (Ritsuka) reluctantly team up to save the world from the threat posed by 4's (Claus's) sinister secret organization. 11 (Yamada-san) volunteers to help them, but it is later discovered that 11 (Yamada-san) is actually a spy for 4 (Claus). Meanwhile, 4 (Claus) has kidnapped 12 (Naota) in an attempt to force their surrender. Following the wise advice of 5 (Ayato), they seek out 3 (Franz), who gives them what they need to complete their quest. What title would you give this fic? Name three people on your friends list who might read it. Name one person who should write it.
Wow. Just...wow. I'm not sure it's possible to pull that off...period. I don't care if you're Shakespeare or whatever. It just...wouldn't work. I'll call it I Got This Plot From a Crack Survey and force everyone on my friends list to read it, because it would take one hell of a lot of effort to make that work. XD;;
25. If you had to walk home through a bad neighbourhood late at night, would you feel safer in the company of 7 or 8?
I think I'd have to protect Ryuichi, so that wouldn't be all that safe. Laziness aside, I do suppose Shikamaru would protect me if he absolutely needed, too, though. Still not too reassuring, but better than Ryuichi (unless he's in one of his serious moods, that is). XD
Ah, that was fun. And highly amusing.
