pacificpikachuFor each of my top favorite fandoms that *have* pairings that I actually care about...
Pokémon/Pocket Monsters
1. The pairing you first fell in love with: Pokéshipping. Satoshi x Kasumi, Ash/Misty, whatever you want to call it. :P From pretty much the beginning of the series.
2. The pairing you never expected to love as much as you do now: Um...none really. My pairing stuffs for Pokémon have become rather limited--mostly because the characters just don't really scream "Pair me!" for the most part. I suppose that weird little...thing...I have for Rivalshipping (Shigeru x Hiroshi). I have no idea why I'm even admitting I like that at all. :P I don't like either of those characters, so it makes little/no sense. I don't really like it much...
3. The pairing everyone else loves that you don't: Well, not *everyone*, but Advanceshipping (Satoshi x Haruka) and Palletshipping (Shigeru x Satoshi) drive me up the wall with the insane amounts of fans. Both pairings I'm not fond of.
4. The pairing you love that everyone else hates: My bizarre inclination towards Jealousyshipping (Pikachu x Chikoriita/Beiriifu). No, I don't know any better than you do. It's just weird. It's not really an actual pairing... I just like the mental image of them snuggling together or Pikachu giving Chikorita a flower.
5. The pairing you used to love but don't any longer: I had a lot of passing phases as far as Pokémon pairings go. I can't recall most of them--most were quite random and lasted only a few weeks.
Wolf's Rain
1. The pairing you first fell in love with: I think I was inclined towards the whole Kiba x Cheza thing early on, and that was probably the first pairing I liked. I can't really remember now... That was a while ago, and most of my initial reactions to Wolf's Rain have been wiped clean by my in-depth studies of it.
2. The pairing you never expected to love as much as you do now: Ha... Like most of my favorite-favorite pairings, I was violently opposed to Tsume x Toboe for a few months. Now... One of my favorite pairings. I adore it. I really love Hige x Blue, too, though, but I can't remember how I initially felt about that.
3. The pairing everyone else loves that you don't: Kiba x Hige. Seriously, people. No.
4. The pairing you love that everyone else hates: None, really, though I suppose some are opposed to Tsume x Toboe.
5. The pairing you used to love but don't any longer: Well... Admittedly, I've kind of fallen out of the whole Kiba-loving-Cheza-actually-and-truly mindset. I now believe he loves her as almost merely a fragment of what he is looking for, and something that personifies him getting closer to his [impossible] goal. I still like the pairing, but in a much different sense than I used to.
Cowboy Bebop...is hard to speak about as far as pairings go. All I support is Spike/Julia, and maybe some one-sided Vicious/Gren in that I acknowledge it exists. That is all.
Naruto
1. The pairing you first fell in love with: Zabuza/Haku. Just... *Sniffle*
2. The pairing you never expected to love as much as you do now: Everyone knows the answer to this one...SasuNaru! I despised that pairing initially. Now it has become a life-consuming obsession. I also don't think I cared for LeeSaku originally, and now I think it's adorable. ♥
3. The pairing everyone else loves that you don't: SasuSaku, ShikaIno, NejiHina...You know, that het crap. <-- Just kidding. XD;; OH--and I'm not inclined towards GaaNaru (or is it NaruGaa? I don't know!) and NejiNaru. I'm not into those pairings, really. OHHHH...and AUGH... ItaSasu. No thanks.
4. The pairing you love that everyone else hates: Not enough people support LeeSaku, darnit! I haven't met many people who *hate* it, though.
5. The pairing you used to love but don't any longer: I love NaruHina, I really do...but after the whole SasuNaru thing, it seems uninspired by comparison. It's adorable, but it's hard to see it going anywhere interesting...
Last Exile
1. The pairing you first fell in love with: Claus x Lavie! ♥
2. The pairing you never expected to love as much as you do now: Hmmmm.... *Ponders* Alex x Sophia ended up being much more interesting and tragic than I thought it would be.
3. The pairing everyone else loves that you don't: None really.
4. The pairing you love that everyone else hates: Um...none?
5. The pairing you used to love but don't any longer: None.
RahXephon
1. The pairing you first fell in love with: Ayato x Haruka. Duh.
2. The pairing you never expected to love as much as you do now: Ayato x Asahina. Didn't like it at first, but by the end of episode 19 (?)... T_T
3. The pairing everyone else loves that you don't: ?
4. The pairing you love that everyone else hates: <.<
5. The pairing you used to love but don't any longer: None.
Gravitation
1. The pairing you first fell in love with: Yuki x Shuichi, naturally.
2. The pairing you never expected to love as much as you do now: Tatsuha x Ryuichi. Just...love! Quite pretty, if I do say so myself.
3. The pairing everyone else loves that you don't: K x Sakano kind of frightens me. As does Yuki x Tatsuha. And...well... Random pairings, y'know.
4. The pairing you love that everyone else hates: ...?
5. The pairing you used to love but don't any longer: ...I think there might've been something I went through a bout of, but I can't remember it for the life of me right now.
Witch Hunter Robin
1. The pairing you first fell in love with: Amon x Robin. :P
2. The pairing you never expected to love as much as you do now: Um...I rather like Sakaki/Doujima. Not hugely, but I like it enough.
3. The pairing everyone else loves that you don't: Ha...that frightening Amon x Sakaki thing. Ewww.
4. The pairing you love that everyone else hates: None, really.
5. The pairing you used to love but don't any longer: I suppose you could count that whole Michael x Robin thing we used to joke about all the time... I guess. XD;
All of my other obsessions/shows I like (ie, FLCL, Paranoia Agent, Fullmetal Alchemist, various anime movies, and such) shall be excluded because of the lack of interesting clash in pairings. Heck, most of these were borderline incredibly boring (ie, Last Exile, WHR, RahXephon, and other such straight-forward pairing-types of shows).
So...yeah. Feel free to steal or whatever. I don't know why I did this, to be honest.
Cody, KK, and I had so much fun today! Just sitting around the house, eating ramen and donuts we bought with pocket change, watching my screensaver (as always), ripping anime CDs on KK's computer, watching FMA... 'Twas great fun. :D
The Mob camping trip will be so much fun!
