ladybug_archive | Oh what the heck.

Instead of asking for the obvious Informant-tachi (though you can still do this for them,if you like... ^^) I shall ask for Seto Kaiba and Joey Wheeler.

I have to post this in two parts. LOL. It exceeded the comment limit!

I actually prefer not doing these for a group as a whole. XD; That's pretty overwhelming. So if I ever did it completely of my own accord without being asked, I have to wonder WTH was I thinking. LOL.

Seto Kaiba:

1. Whether or not I like this character - Yes, I do, though somewhat less than I used to. Battle City Seto very often drives me nuts with his obsession over beating Yugi. And the virtual coliseum really makes my jaw drop in disbelief. But of course, there's some awesome scenes too, like him saving Tea at the docks. (Dang, first time in ages I haven't been able to make the accent. There's no way to do it on the laptop, other than selecting a special character in a word processor.) And Seto's protectiveness towards Mokuba is always squeeable. I think Seto shines best in the anime-only arcs, and it feels like blasphemy to say it, since the creator didn't write them. But I can't help it. Seto in Noa's Arc is AWESOME.
2. What name(s) I call this character - Seto; Kaiba.... Depends on my mood, really. There was a spell where I mostly said Kaiba, but usually now it's back to Seto.
3. What image-song I associate with this character - Other than the YGO ones: I'm Back, You're Not Me, and the Hacking Theme, I have nothing. XD; Oh wait ... Numb by Linkin Park. I usually think of it with Siegfried von Schroider lately, but it still definitely fits Seto and Gozaburo. Also, maybe Behind Blue Eyes.
4. What color I associate with this character - Blue, brown
5. What character I like to put this character with (romantic-ships and/or friendships) - Seto/Tea all the way for romantic stuff. Their personalities both fit and clash so perfectly. Though do note that I have a much harder time picturing them together in the manga. "I Hate Everything About You" makes an awesome song for them, LOL. And I never get tired of Tea with "I Won't Say I'm in Love". (I can't imagine Seto with any of the other YGO girls, and I actually thoroughly despise and detest Seto/Serenity. XD; Somewhat because it's so bleeping overdone, but also because even though I get the basis for it, it just doesn't click for me. It just seems too ... gooshy and mushy and syrupy-sweet. **gags.**)

Platonically, as mentioned, I love the stuff with Mokuba. And I've always been fascinated by the dynamic between him and Joey Wheeler.
6. What I would want to say to this character - "Mr. Kaiba, I've long been an admirer of yours. It's an honor to meet you." Or I'd try to say that, anyway. Knowing me, I'd probably stammer and stutter and something completely different would come out of my mouth.
7. What my plans would be for this character - I ... actually don't think I have any. XD; I need to work on my Seto/Tea claim, but the plunnies aren't biting. And lately, my plans usually involve Duke or Bakura.

XD

Yeah, I think Seto was beyond denial in the coliseum match. XD; he had me headdesking at some points. **hugs Noa's Arc**

Ooh, I'll have to check out those songs...

Yay for Seto/Téa! (Huh, so the number pad thing doesn't work on the laptop?) Bleah at Seto/Serenity. It would never work-- not to mention that Joey would never let it happen. XD;

LOL, same here if I tried to talk to him. And he'd just stare at us, glaring. XD

Aww... behave, plunnies!

Aubrie actually made an AMV with Seto and the song Numb, which started my association of it with him. ^^ It should still be on YouTube, unless it's been massacred. **glares in the direction of the greedy corporate giant that's so power-happy on YouTube.**

I have no number pad. XD Just the numbers at the top.

LOL. I can imagine Joey thinking "The only thing worse than Duke and Serenity would be Kaiba and Serenity!" And having nightmares.

**snarks.**

Bleh **glares at them, too, for still refusing to let go of the *official* Genesis MVs**

Ahh. XD; Yeah, I don't think there's a way to do it, then...

**snarks** LOL

Joey Wheeler:

1. Whether or not I like this character - Yes, I do. Sometimes he frustrates me, but that's mainly because I see my own worst traits reflected in him. I like him better in the manga sometimes.
2. What name(s) I call this character - Joey. Occasionally, if I'm talking to someone who prefers the Japanese, I'll slip into saying Jou or Jounouchi.
3. What image-song I associate with this character - Blind Ambition I've somehow always thought of as being his song. And then of course, No Matter What for him and Yugi. If I've found any non-YGO songs for him, I can't think of them right now....
4. What color I associate with this character - Light-blue and white, like his Battle City shirt. And blond, like his hair.
5. What character I like to put this character with (romantic-ships and/or friendships) - I don't actively ship it much, but when I think of Joey ending up with someone, it's always Mai. Their interaction on the show is amazing. I seriously can't imagine that they won't hook up sometime in the future.

Platonically, his bond with Serenity is sweet, of course. I also love his friendships with Yugi and Tristan. And antagonistic feelings with him and Seto and him and Duke are interesting to explore.
6. What I would want to say to this character - "Hey Joey. How's it going?"
7. What my plans would be for this character - He's at least mentioned in my Indiana Jonesish YGO mystery. Being that Serenity is a principle character, Joey will probably appear in the flesh at some point.

Huh. I think I like him better in the anime, actually. He tends to curse a bluestreak in the manga, particularly in the pre-Duelist ones (I think after those, they censored out the bad words, which is good, but Keith has the foulest mouth of all. XD)... He probably does in the uncut anime, I suppose, but even so...XD;

LOL. Blind Ambition was the image song I chose for Newkirk. XD

**nods** Joey/Mai is one of the few ships I actually support.

Him showing up in the Indiana Jones-esque mystery will be fun. X3 **remembers in the Grand Prix arc that he was the one running from the fake boulder. LOL**

Yeah, aside from the swearing. XD I usually don't think much about it, since it's censored in the majority of my volumes.

Yeah, I know. LOL.

Joey/Mai has so much canonical evidence!

LOL. I'd forgotten there was a fake boulder then. I don't think Joey will be involved in the mystery; probably just depicted in flashbacks or during telephone conversations. Unless I do some scenes of him freaking out after realizing Serenity went off with Duke and David after they had to flee.

XD

The song really does fit both of them (and I often felt that Newkirk did remind me of Joey at times. X3).

Indeed!

XD LOL at him freaking out. I dunno... one of the things that makes me think twice about Duke/Serenity is that she would be going against her brother's wishes, and... I don't know if an argument between Joey and Serenity would be avoidable...

LOL.

**nods.** That's true, but my response would be she can't be sheltered all her life and live under her family's thumbs. In the fic, Serenity explains it as knowing Duke truly is a good person (besides the fact that she's in love with him) and she hopes Joey will come to see that. I think it would be a pretty miserable existence for her if she never learned to spread her wings and make her own choices, even if they differ from her family's wishes.

Hmm... **nods** I honestly hadn't looked at it that way.

If Duke and Serenity ever get together in my fics, I think Mai might help Joey understand, since she really is a big sister figure to Serenity... ^^

**nods.** I've actually started to feel pretty strongly about the pairing, partially because I really think Serenity would benefit the most from someone who doesn't shelter her. She needs to be able to get out of her comfort zone.

That would be good. >3

**snickers @ icon!** Is that Princess Tutu? I didn't think it was for a moment, but it kinda looks like the scene with the lightning and the tree....

Ack, I need to find the post Crystal did on this.... I know it's buried in my Inbox somewhere.... XD;

Hmmm.... I'd normally pick Seph and Zack, but I dunno, I kinda think you've done all this for them at some point before. XD **would be curious about the plans part, though.**

So, how aboouuut..... Ahiru?

I'd totally do this meme, but I have a problem with being unable to remember songs when I want to remember them, and there's usually either more than one song I associate with a character, or none at all. XD; Though maybe I'll do it anyway, just for kicks. As long as I can avoid my automatic response to #2 of "Hey, you!" XD

**snarks.** That is exactly what it is. XD LOL. It shouldn't amuse me so much, and it's terrible that it does, but combined with those crazy lyrics ... LOL.

1. Whether or not I like this character - Yes, I do! She's one of my three favorites. (The other two being Autor and Fakir.)
2. What name(s) I call this character - Ahiru; Tutu/Princess Tutu. I never have gotten into the way of saying Duck like the dub, even though that's exactly what everyone's saying in English. LOL. I dunno, I'm not a big fan of the dub and I prefer Ahiru.
3. What image-song I associate with this character - Overture Miniature for Ahiru; Waltz of the Flowers for Tutu. Though because of the finale, I kind of associate it with Ahiru, too, and the series in general. I don't quite think I've found any songs to associate with her that aren't connected with the show. I do love a couple of AMVs I found that use I Won't Say I'm in Love, though. XD;
4. What color I associate with this character - Red, yellow, blue, white
5. What character I like to put this character with (romantic-ships and/or friendships) - SHE MUST BE WITH FAKIR. They are just too amazing together. **squees.** Through the whole show, she thinks she's in love with Mytho, but even though she loves him, I think it's pretty obvious it's really Fakir she's *in* love with. The way they've seen each other through their worst moments and their best moments and have become so close.... They've discovered what "true love" is, both friendship and romantic-wise.

Friendships, hmm. Lilie drives me up the wall, but Pike is clearly more mature and I'd kind of like to see Ahiru interact with her without Lilie there. More than that, however, I'd like to explore Ahiru and Autor friendship. And of course, relations with Mytho and Rue are intriguing, too. Ahiru's interaction with Rue is so sweet.
6. What I would want to say to this character - It sounds totally boring, but I'd probably greet her the same way I did Joey up there: "Hi Ahiru! How are you?" She would be easy to make friends with, I think. And if she was Tutu, I'd like to dance with her and get doubts cleared from my mind.
7. What my plans would be for this character - She will have interaction with Autor, Mytho, and Rue in Fall From Grace, and I'm really worried about how I'll write her with Mytho and with Rue. XD; I'm concerned about how I'll write for those characters to begin with, LOL.

LOL, totally. Do you know what those lyrics are from? They seem familiar. XD

Wait, they actually call her Duck in the dub???

Ooh. >3 **will have to find those songs to listen to, since she doesn't remember them right off-hand.**

LOL. The colors are always associated with eyes or clothing, aren't they? XD

**nods.** Yes! She must totally be with Fakir. Their interaction is just too awesome and priceless and squee. X3

Ooh, I never thought about dancing with her, but that would be amazing. X3

LOL. I'm sure the characters will turn out great! Everything you've done has so far. ^^

I *think* they're from Into the Woods? Not sure.

Yep. And even though it is the same thing, I dunno, it sounds so weird to actually think of saying Duck. At least Ahiru sounds more like a genuine name.

Pretty much. XD It's the colors I see them with that I tend to associate with them.

X3 **hugs the pairing.**

It really would! It seems like it would be very calming.

Aww, thanks! I definitely hope it will work out.

I'd do this too, but I have a feeling I'd have a hard time XD;

Mmkay, let's start off with... Oh, I dunno. Duke.

1. Whether or not I like this character - Yes, I do! Duke is sadly underrated by a great deal of the fanbase.
2. What name(s) I call this character - Duke; Duke Devlin; Otogi; Ryuuji Otogi. I tend to slip into the Japanese name if I'm discussing the manga in person. Occasionally when I discuss the Japanese anime. But again, only in person. I like pronouncing the Japanese name. XD;
3. What image-song I associate with this character - Ohh, wow. I have quite a few. **needs to post the fanmix EP she's created.** For now, I'll shorten it to Human by The Killers. And Where Will You Go? by Evanescence. Both songs have made me think of Duke since the first time I heard them. Where Will You Go? because of how Duke seals himself off, and Human because of his personality in general. **has a detailed explanation for both on the fanmix EP.**
4. What color I associate with this character - Black, red, green
5. What character I like to put this character with (romantic-ships and/or friendships) - I have developed quite a taste for Duke/Serenity lately. I really think he would be better for her than Tristan, because he doesn't shelter her. She's been sheltered all her life and she needs a chance to break free of that.

Platonically, I have always been fascinated by the unnamed store manager in episode #46 and wanted to explore his possible relationship with Duke. I'm still sure he was who I was thinking of when I wrote In Memory and had a short mention of Duke with an employee. I'm thrilled I've finally been able to get into their friendship in recent fics.

I also like the dynamic between Duke and Tristan. The way they're constantly at odds yet seem to have some odd friendship is interesting. When one is hurt, the other gets very upset about it.
6. What I would want to say to this character - "I'm so sorry the anime screwed up your introduction. You're really a lot more mature than those episodes portrayed." Also, what Crystal mentioned about not sealing himself away. I'm convinced he does this in the anime, and it's quite apparent that he's doing it in the manga.
7. What my plans would be for this character - I'm just starting an Indiana Jones-ish adventure fic in which Duke is the lead. He and the other two principle leads, David and Serenity, are going to have quite a hectic time of it. Duke will keep getting snatches of memory from the past, too. Eventually, the reason why he doesn't remember this time around will be revealed.

Sanzo. And.... Spike from Cowboy Bebop.

This should be very interesting. LOL.

Sanzo:

1. Whether or not I like this character - Yes, I do. Not someone whose path I'd wanna cross, but someone I'd want for an ally.
2. What name(s) I call this character - Sanzo.
3. What image-song I associate with this character - Aside from Saiyuki-related music, I can't think of anything off-hand....
4. What color I associate with this character - Beige
5. What character I like to put this character with (romantic-ships and/or friendships) - No one romantically. Platonically, I love exploring his relationships with the other three party members, particularly Goku.
6. What I would want to say to this character - "Hello, Mr. Sanzo ... er ..." I would totally wonder how I was supposed to address him. LOL. If I got the courage to say something more substantial, I dunno. I could tell him he shouldn't always scare the other characters by shooting off his gun, but that's a Sanzo trait. Sanzo wouldn't be Sanzo if he didn't do that. LOL.
7. What my plans would be for this character - I have none, other than planning to watch episodes. I tried a brief foray into the fandom with a oneshot SK requested, but it didn't really work out. XD; I've never even posted the thing on FF.net because I did not like how it turned out.

Spike:

1. Whether or not I like this character - Yes, I do! Spike is awesome, ha.
2. What name(s) I call this character - Spike.
3. What image-song I associate with this character - The Real Folk Blues; Tank; other Cowboy Bebop music.
4. What color I associate with this character - Dark blue
5. What character I like to put this character with (romantic-ships and/or friendships) - I've dabbled now and then with a passing interest in Spike/Faye. But he's so hung up on Julia that I doubt it could ever happen.

Platonically, I love his relationships with all the other members of the Bebop. Though relationships with Jet and Faye are particularly interesting to explore.
6. What I would want to say to this character - "You should really try getting over the past and moving on. There's people who care about you in the present."
7. What my plans would be for this character - None, other than episode/AMV-watching. **was watching Livin' in the Fridge just the other day. Classic combo there. LOL.**

Miyano Shiho/Sherry/Haibara Ai of Detective Conan fame.

1. Whether or not I like this character - Yes. Shiho is awesome and mysterious and unique. And her blunt, sarcastic remarks are always a surprise. LOL.
2. What name(s) I call this character - Depends on my mood. I have called her every one of her names.
3. What image-song I associate with this character - Mmm. I had a bunch of different songs I associated with her, particularly her relationship with Gin. When I hear The Cross by Within Temptation I still think of them.
4. What color I associate with this character - Ginger.
5. What character I like to put this character with (romantic-ships and/or friendships) - I'm still intrigued by the thought of Gin/Sherry, though I don't ship it as hard as I once did. But I still have a oneshot with them I'm determined to write someday.

Platonic-wise, I do love her interaction with Conan. It's definitely one of the highlights of the series. And her relationship with Dr. Agasa is something I always wished would be explored more. Heck, since I've fallen so far behind, maybe it has been.
6. What I would want to say to this character - "You're an amazing, strong person. I hope that your ghosts of the past can be conquered and you can fully enjoy living without fear."
7. What my plans would be for this character - Other than the aforementioned oneshot, I really have none. I'm still interested in finding out the major twists of DC, but it's not a fandom I plan to get involved in again unless it's just occasionally reading something by someone else.

Oh what the heck.
