"FOR THE ROYALTY!"

nano_mooseSo I get a paid account and crow about it and the first thing I do is...post a meme stolen from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
twilit_wanderer . YEAH, CONTENT.
Comment here and I'll pick three of your fandoms. You have to repost this with your answers to the questions in your journal.
1. The character I first fell in love with: I’m afraid I first watched Beast Wars when I was nine (more than a decade ago now, yikes), and either the channel I watched it on aired the episodes out of order or I just didn’t catch them all. I don’t remember much, but I do remember that the plot never made a damn bit of sense to me. Sadly, I suspect I liked Terrorsaur for his colours (look, I was nine). However, if we talk the first character I can remember falling in love with, that would be either Dinobuttbot or verminRattrap.
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Optimus Primal. There is nothing about his stalwart and embarrassingly overdramatic leader persona in the first episode that makes you think he could be a STONE COLD BADASS, but he surely is one.
3. The character everyone else loves that I don't: Um…I couldn’t bring myself to give a damn about Tigerhawk? But he appears for two episodes and then explodes, so I don’t know if he counts. And although Depth Charge’s death scene was perfect, the character himself didn’t exactly light my world on fire.
4. The character I love that everyone else hates: Honestly, every time I poke my head into fandom these days I see something that makes want to put the finishing touches on my orbital doom laser, so I don’t know what the prevailing opinions are. I think Blackarachnia’s cool?
5. The character I used to love but don't any longer: Accuse me of being impossibly shallow if you must, but I loathed most of the transmetal forms and any character who got a particularly hideous one had to endure me wincing every time they appeared onscreen forever after. Even Optimus. EVEN BLACKARACHNIA.
6. The character I would shag anytime: Er. They’re robots with animal bits. That does not seem sanitary. Can I skip this question?
7. The character I'd want to be like: Optimus Primal, can I be badass and clever and charming and adapt to responsibility like you one day? That would be great, thanks.
8. The character I'd slap: Silverbolt is big doofy Paladin fabulousness, but he needs to be beaten about the head and shoulders with the cluebat.
9. A pairing that I love: OH A QUESTION ASSUMING I CARE ABOUT SHIPPING, THAT’S ADORABLE.
10. A pairing that I despise: AND ANOTHER, OOOZY WOOGY WOO, WHO’S A SILLY QUESTION.
11. My five favorite characters: Dinobot, Optimus, Rattrap, Megatron (yeeeeesssss), Wazzzzzpinator.
12. My five least favorite characters: (Note, these aren’t characters I hate so much as characters I didn’t find especially interesting.) Dinobot II, Scorpowhatsis, Tigerhawk, Tigertron, Terrorsaur DESPITE MY NINE YEAR OLD CAPTIVATION
13. Which character I am most like:INFERNO WASPINATOR Actually probably a combination of Waspinator and Silverbolt. I love my overdramatic heroism, but oh my god look at that bug.
14. My deep, dark fandom secret: That I own none of the toys, forgot the first live action movie completely the moment I left the cinema and found even the trailers of the second to be incomprehensible messes.
1. The first character I fell in love with: Of course it was Auron. How could it not be Auron?
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Tidus – and do please forgive my usage of this word, but it seems the most appropriate – is a der-brain. But I like him anyway; he’s just so ridiculous and so many horrible things happen to him that I couldn’t work up the hatred.
3. The character everyone else loves that I don't: Sorry, Kimahri, but I still kind of have a grudge against you for kicking my butt so many times in the FFX demo, and I could never make your abilities work for me.
4. The character I love that everyone else hates: Come on, fanboys, Tidus isn’t that bad. He’s no more pathetic than Cloud, when you get right down to it.
5. The character I used to love but don't any longer: I used to be a massive gibbering fangirl of Lulu, but not so much any more?
6. The character I would shag anytime: Oh my god look at that bug.
7. The character I'd want to be like: Yuna. Someday, I too will summon dead people in the form of giant monster things to do my bidding! (Thanks to Squeem’s game posts, when I finally get up the motivation to play FFX again, it’ll be for Yuna.)
8. The character I'd slap: Tidus is another one of those people who needs a beating with the cluebat, but I am also firmly of the opinion that Seymour needs a good kick in the balls. Yeah dude, your mother died to protect you. So did Harry Potter’s, and I don’t see him destroying the world in an orgy of megalomaniacal nihilism and being needlessly creepy at awesome summoners, do you?
9. A pairing that I love: Yuna/Tidus, both because it is cute and because it made me cry at the end.
10. A pairing that I hate: I’VE GOT A LOVELY BUNCH OF COCONUTS, DEE DEE DEE DEE, THERE THEY ARE A-STANDING IN THE ROOOOOOAD
11. My five favorite characters: Auron, Yuna, Jecht, Tidus, Shiva
12. My five least favorite characters: Random One-line NPC #1 – 4, Seymour
13. Which character I am most like: Is there an NPC in there who reads way too many books and bursts into flames upon contact with sunlight? BECAUSE THAT’S MEEEEEEEEE
14. My deep, dark fandom secret: Probably that I actually loved this game; it’s one of only two Final Fantasy games I’ve ever bothered to finish.
1. The first character I fell in love with: Sokka. Sokka. And also: Sokka.
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Azula. I was one of those people incredibly leery about her abrupt entrance, but then she turned out to be nine kinds of awesome and sixteen kinds of terrifying and three kinds of sad in the finale.
3. The character everyone else loves that I don't: There is no one I do not love!
4. The character I love that everyone else hates: I don’t know what the fanbase’s problem with Mai is. She’s awesome.
5. The character I used to love but don't any longer: See above point re: not loving.
6. The character I would shag anytime: BIG ONES, SMALL ONES, SOME AS BIG AS YOUR HEAD
7. The character I'd want to be like: Iroh. Tea-loving, wise, and insanely badass.
8. The character I'd slap: …I kind of want to slap Koh, but I’m pretty sure that would be a bad idea. So I’ll go with Ozai.
9. A pairing that I love: GIVE THEM A TWIST, A FLICK OF THE WRIST, THAT’S WHAT THE SHOWMAN SAID
10. A pairing that I hate: I swore I would not mention this pairing ever again so as to continue to hold no feeling for it but the most frigid apathy. This is still in effect.
11. My five favorite characters: ALL OF THEM
12. My five least favorite characters: Most of the fanbase? Does that count?
13. Which character I am most like: You remember that researcher who went with Team Avatar to find that awesome library and willingly trapped himself in there forever rather than leave? Yeah.
14. My deep, dark fandom secret: I still sort of ship Azula/Sylar a bit. It would be terrifying and oh so awesome right up until the mutual backstab and mental breakdown. You know this to be true.
