[I.D.: fanart of Utena and post-ohtori Anthy from Revolutionary Girl Utena. a full-color Anthy sits at a colorless table, next to a kitchen island, looking at a laptop with a hand on her chin and her other hand twirling a phone cord. The laptop has a video of Suletta and Miorine from Witch from Merucy, with the text "¿Yuri?" in all caps with an eyebrow raise emoji. While anthy looks at this, Utena gazes at her from the foreground, smiling, and Chuchu climbs up the other end of the table. / End I.D.]

I was tagged by the delightful @stark, now let’s jam!

Pick 5 shows, then answer the following questions, don’t cheat. Tag 10 (or however many) people.

Riverdale

Code Geass

Revolutionary Girl Utena

Durarara!!

Snow White with the Red Hair

Who is your favourite character in 2?: My beautiful angel princess, Shirley Fenette, of course

Who is your least favourite character in 1?: Hal Cooper, who manages to be evil and dull

What is your favourite episode of 4?: I genuinely could not tell you because the episodes flow into each other so well and I always binge it.

What is your favourite season of 5?: Second cour, hands down.  It has the Tanbarun arc and maximum Obi pining.

Who is your favourite couple in 3?: Anthy and Utena, definitely

Who is your favourite couple in 2?: The OTP of OTPs, Lelouch and Shirley!

What is your favourite episode of 1?: Ooh, that’s tough these days, but I think it’s still 2x19.  I just can’t get over that basement interrogation.

What is your favourite episode of 5?: Episode 16, aka MAXIMUM PINING

What is your favourite season of 2?: R1, definitely.  Less favorite character death.

How long have you watched 1?: Like a year and a half now.

How did you become interested in 3?: Oh god, I first watched it almost twenty years ago, so I do not remember for the life of me.

Who is your favourite actor in 4?: Surprising no one, Johnny Yong Bosch as Izaya.

Which do you prefer, 1, 2, or 5?: Ok, these are three radically different shows.  Like, mecha, shoujo, and whatever the fuck Riverdale, there are not a lot of similarities here, so it’s hard to compare the three.  But ultimately, I think I enjoy Riverdale the most.

Which show have you seen more episodes of, 1 or 3?: Riverdale, both in the sense that I’ve watched it more and in the sense that there are more episodes.

If you could be anyone from 4, who would you be?: Do I...do I have to be?  Uhhh...Erika, I guess?  Good friends, good hobbies, kinda crazy but not in a way that puts her in danger.

Would a crossover between 3 and 4 work?: Hahahahaha, no.

Pair two characters in 1 who would make an unlikely, but strangely okay couple?: Let’s see...Dilton and Sweet Pea could work, I think.  And it fits the pattern of a grumpy Southsider falling for a Northsider who’s crazier than they look.

Overall, which show has the better storyline, 3 or 5?: Utena, definitely Utena, partially because it’s just that good and partially because it’s done so I can fully evaluate its quality.

Which has the better theme music, 2 or 4?: Ok, that’s hard, and those are very different soundtracks, but I think Code Geass wins this one.

Ok, I tag @theheavycrown @bettysnooper @stillhidden @a-true-janian-reply @tory-b @elizabethbettscooper @satelliteinasupernova @createandconstruct @writeraquamarinara @genderneutralmilkhotel​

Ship Meme! Tagged by @the-cryptographer​ ~

1) Ultimate Otps:

Which of them have ‘ultimate’ qualities...? GS Isaac/Alex would be kind of an ‘ultimate power’ ship, if they got a plot with twists and turns and character development and reasons to cooperate. I’d expect that more from fic than canon - so many other canons have lots of epic slow burn adventure fics for hero/villain-or-antivillain ships. But so far in GS, for those two, I’ve mostly found (good) crackfic, or non-shippy ‘they fight to the death and Isaac wins and marries Mia’  stuff that doesn’t treat them with even as much nuance as the canon.

Not that I mind mudshipping - my ultimate GS polyship would be something like Isaac/Mia/Felix/Alex(/Veriti/The Ice Queen), with interesting dynamics between every two characters in that set of four (and Mia/Veriti), even with some of the bonds possibly being platonic. Though when I’ve written long plotfic it’s very easily gotten platonic/ambivalent/angsty bc it tends so much towards drama, and conflict may drive plots (hence its abundance in plotbunnies), but I find it hard to headcanon characters getting past hurts and grudges very easily; I want to see them make the effort, but it feels like they’d need a lot of time and personal growth to get there, and I might not even figure how well they do until I’m almost 100K words in. And in some very angsty verses there’s no chance. I want to read other people’s adventure fic too, with fun ideas that manage heel-face turns or antihero plots in a slightly lighter way...

PMMM Madoka/Homura is another ‘ultimate power’ ship, if they can get to a point where Godoka and Homucifer can deal with each other as equals again, both with full knowledge of everything that’s happened and the resolve to truly save themselves, each other, and the rest of the universe. :o

Utena/Anthy is quite an ‘ultimate reality’ ship, when they find their revolution.

2) A ship you’ll always 💜??

The Harvest Moon fan in me is going ‘purple heart? that’s not a very high level of affection??’ ...but taking it as an emoji for ‘love’... without repeating anything above, pokemon Green/Red is always nostalgic (gameverse Ash/Gary, the names get a little confusing as there are localisation differences and I like the old manga and anime too but haven’t watched/read anything recent in those canons).

GS Imilshipping, too, in fic verses where they had a close bond. FE Lucia/Ilyana, I wish they had epilogue content after their support, still mean to write out a plotbunny for them sometime. Soren/Ike, of course, and Tibarn/Reyson.

ToS Lloyd/Colette/Sheena/Zelos, again with strong bonds between all of the pairs in that foursome. They did so much to help each other find hope by striving to save and trust each other, creating a new kind of salvation together.

Skies of Arcadia Fina/Aika/Vyse, Vyse/Ramirez, and Ramirez/Galcian. Never found much fanstuff for it, but it caught the imagination.

3) Current obsessions??

Lots of MadoHomu vibes after getting a oneshot written for them. Confident!Madoka makes both of them happy when they’re not dying; it’s a shame she doesn’t get much screentime as her confident and cheerful self, since so much of her time as a magical girl passes offscreen. Even while she was more unsure during the series, she demonstrated her desire to protect her friends, and Homura commented time and time again on her kindness - she loves her for it, and when she discourages it anyway, it’s because she’s come to believe that it’ll be the death of her. If they were truly safe, they could support each other so well - it could be a world away from the desperation that marked the end of Rebellion, when neither of them are at all okay. :s

Also getting quite into darkfic plotbunnies, and I know ‘darkship’ is a term in some cases for character dynamics fulfilling their worst potential, descending into violence and destruction that at least one character Does Not Want, but in the verses of those plotbunnies I guess they still fit the label of antiships better than ships.

4) A ship you never thought you’d like??

Uh, a lot of the stuff on the gs kink meme caught me by surprise, when rarepairs got suggested and the fills or plotbunnies got interesting - Alex/Ivan, Eoleo/Rief, Alex/Amiti (in a BAD IDEA way). And on lj/tumblr, Mia/Sheba was pleasant surprise too. Not that I ever had any preconceptions about disliking ships, they just hadn’t occurred to me.

In FF7, I don’t think I expected to see compelling Cloud/Seph or Zack/Seph at first, all those years ago, but I quickly found that there are a lot of good AUs and darkfic. Especially when they’re alongside other good ships like Cloud/Zack, Aerith/Zack, Aerith/Cloud, Aerith/Tifa, Tifa/Cloud etc.

5) A ship you used to like but don’t anymore:

Uh idk exactly. I used to read a lot of Buffy fic by ship to find characters whose dynamics were interesting in the show, but iirc I ended up skimming any content that was really ‘shippy’ to get to the plot and jokes and emotional bonding over real stuff, not random physical attraction, and nowadays I don’t think I’d bother skimming so much stuff just bc I hoped it’d be interesting and wanted to keep giving it a chance.

6) A ship that should be canon??

Well some that are very strongly implied but not explicitly stated feel like ‘yep that’s canon’ but could maybe use some more in-universe and author confirmation when not everyone seems to agree - Ike/Soren, Utena/Anthy in some versions of canon, etc.

7) A canon ship you hate???

I like to hate the way darkships go sometimes, but that’s what makes them an interesting story, going ‘noo’ about characters’ bad decisions, though that usually only works if they had better potential that they’re falling short of, not necessarily in a romantic sense... Can’t think of many cases where that happens in canon. Uh I think most explicitly canon relationships are either one option among many routes (and I get tired of support grinding), or I’m a bit indifferent, or if I dislike how it’s done I’d still start playing devil’s advocate and wondering how it could have been done differently if I spend any time considering it.

Oh in FE Awakening I kinda hated how Virion’s flirting in the main plot cutscenes was creepy and painted him as a bad joke, but his supports are much better and some of them are great - how do you explain liking his ships when he has such a bad start (and such bad English voice acting)? I also hated the way the player character’s support options didn’t all show up until endgame, so I missed them the first time and had to replay and wait until then to support grind, and then it all got repetitive grinding the same dlc maps so many times over just for such short supports, and the endgame marriage candidates that were most interesting (bc how the hell could the game make that work, with a head of state or a former enemy??) ended up with really rushed and unconvincing relationship development, and the child recruitment maps were hellishly difficult at that point in the endgame, and all in all it got a bit un-fun and not worth the effort. :/

8) A ship you shipped for years??

Most of the above. Also stuff like Saiyuki Sanzo/Goku, GS Alex/Felix or /Saturos, Jenna/Sheba, Karis/Sveta, Pokemon Misty/Erika, FE Florina/Lyndis, and, uh, probably stuff that I’m forgetting right now.

9) A ship everyone 😍 but you don’t care for?

...Was there anything? Some of the cliche stuff bugs me, but I’d usually think ‘what about writing the dynamic this way and maybe adding poly?’

10) Favorite rare pair???

Mm what's rare? Any gs Alex!ships at this point...

Edit: I forgot to tag anyone, so. If meme time sounds like fun, @sazandorable, @meganekkomeguca, @droory, or anyone who feels like it?

anime meme, tagged by @staygirlss​

1. favorite anime? maybe a nostalgia pick but 3x3 eyes. my cousin got my brother and i to watch it when we were WAY too young and it terrified me but was also probably the most formative to my current love of lore, body horror and sacrilege.

2. your worst anime? chobits. seriously what the fuck.

3. do you read the manga that goes along with the anime you watch? my list of manga to keep up with > my list of anime so it really depends on if i like the series enough to add it in. more often that not i stick with one or the other. 

4. most favorite genres? historical series. liminal fantasy series where the world itself is just slightly off balance are always interesting. horror IF well-done. otherwise i’m usually down for slice of life.

5. least favorite genres? despite my love of oofuri i’m not that invested in sports anime. ditto with most mecha shows. 

6. favorite character? mihashi ren from oofuri, kikuhiko from rakugo, anthy from rgu

7. least favorite character? the fandom obsession with kakyoin escapes me. and curse clamp for their terrible far-reaching dj characterization.

8. qualities you like in a character? complex motivations, ambiguous intentions (doesn’t clearly fit into hero/villain binaries), a lot of room for growth. 

9. short or long anime? 12 episode runs are ideal because my attention span is shit 😩

10. anime or manga? i like both but i consume manga/read at a much faster pace so i’m often more drawn to it.

11. how do you choose the anime you watch? buzz from friends usually. sometimes i check what’s scheduled for the season just to find whatever catches my eye, this season that meant nothing lol.

12. skip or listen to intros/outros? it really depends on the series. i watched every rakugo op/ed because god were they good (and i loved the little nuggets they added). same with jjba diu. 

13. how do you cope if your friends or family don’t like you watching anime? they’ve either resigned their selves to my being beyond help or send me out of the blue texts like:

14. do you stop an anime midway if you don’t like it?

yep
