Guess the fandom

[tammaiya]

Meme, gacked from mefiant and elihice.

Whaaaat? I'm STUDYING, of course I'm doing memes. (it was so cruel of LJ to go down so I could mindlessly refresh it in-between typing summaries, seriously.)

I summarise ten of my fandoms, one line each, and you guys guess. :D There is no way some of these are not the most obvious thing, EVER.

1. Blah blah blah, darkness, blah blah blah, hearts-- sorry, I was distracted by the gay... Guessed by link621 and ryokophoenix
   
2. It's like a soap opera in SPACE, with things blowing up! guessed by fahye
   
3. It was obviously going to go bad from the start, so why does the ending hurt so much? guessed by silvermuse89
   
4. It's never REALLY about the patient. guessed by silvermuse89
   
5. Strawberries and depressing deterioration of interpersonal relationships R us! guessed by schiarire! finally!
   
6. Crossdressing ALWAYS works for girls, and boarding school yaoi cliches can only be funnier with a girl in them. guessed by _sasayaku
   
7. Their relationship is SO FUCKED UP, and they're in it for the LONG term. guessed by link621
   
8. So is he a clone or not, and what the fuck is going on? Guessed by mefiant
   
9. What we're really getting at here is that life sucks, politics sucks, war sucks, and trying to bring someone back to life is NEVER a good idea. guessed by link621 and ryokophoenix
   
10. Ah, tragic, doomed, and SO fucked up. guessed by silvermuse89
    

I kind of chose some of the fandoms at random, since I have so many. *g*

ETA: HAR HAR YAY FINALLY. That fifth one was totally lying in wait for Ji or Becky to come online, clearly. XD

I'm tired and lazy so I'm only bothering with the first one I looked at, which is 8.

FFVII? :x

Also, it amuses me greatly that you put my LJ name as Meffie 8D ♥

[tammaiya.livejournal.com]

... Dude, I just noticed that. XDDD *fixes*

Yes, correct. :D

[link621.livejournal.com]

XD; This meme is fantastic.

1. Kingdom Hearts (it was the darkness)
2. Xengosaga?
6. Princess Princess
7. Mirage of Blaze? XD; If not, it should be
9. Fullmetal Alchemist

:D

[tammaiya.livejournal.com]

Yes, no, no, yes, yes! :D

[link621.livejournal.com]

Ah, I totally misread six. XD; *should sleep before doing memes*

XD; Well, for the record, two would work with Xenosaga, too.

[tammaiya.livejournal.com]

Ahahahaha, sleep is good. XD

Really? Note to self, look into Xenosaga!

All this fandom-talk reminds me-- do you want Christmas fic this year?

[ryokophoenix.livejournal.com]

Guessing at 1. being Kingdom Hearts, 6. being OURAN and most importantly
NINE
=
FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST

which I just finished watching. So much love.

[tammaiya.livejournal.com]

Yes, no, yes!

OOOOH isn't FMA EXCELLENT? Come on MSN, squee over it with me! *procrastinating*

[ryokophoenix.livejournal.com]

Hahhahaha, I missing the boarding part. ;_; Still, three seperate guesses proves the point - crossdressing DOES always work for girls and yaoi cliches ARE always funnier with a girl in them. XD

IT IS! And I really want to talk about it, but I am studying. *woes* I shall have to explode about it over summer.

[tammaiya.livejournal.com]

They totally, totally are. XD Have you read Hanakimi? You'd really like it, I think.

D: That is very woeful indeed! When is your last exam?

And do you want FMA fic for Christmas?

FMA OVA (SHAMBALA ONE) SPOILER WARNING FOR BYSTANDERS

[ryokophoenix.livejournal.com]

I haven't, although Fahye-Fahye has mentioned it recently too!

Not until the 15th. But that'll be an easy one with heaps of time to study for, so I'm actually going by the third one on the 9th. XD

:O PLS. Do you want specifics? I'd love one where Ed and Al actually stay the hell in their world, though that's probably too complicated. But maerkjbdsfkjds fdsbfjd I don't understand either the writers' OR Ed's motivation for going back. ;_;

Re: FMA OVA (SHAMBALA ONE) SPOILER WARNING FOR BYSTANDERS

[tammaiya.livejournal.com]

I gave it to her, it's totally awesome. A girl goes halfway across the world and crossdresses to attend the same boarding school as this boy she likes, only she's not as stupid as she sounds, and there is canon gay in the background!

Aaaaaaah. My last one is the 13th, straight after which I'm catching a coach to Sydney to go to the U2 concert. I'm coming back on the 15th. XD

Sure, I think I can do that, especially since I was totally frustrated by that too. Are there any pairings you like in FMA or would you prefer gen?

Re: FMA OVA (SHAMBALA ONE) SPOILER WARNING FOR BYSTANDERS

[ryokophoenix.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha, sounds like it'd appeal to me. XD

*snerts* 15th it is, then! Also, U2 concert, SO JEALOUS. I'm going up on the 17th to attend Sydney's Lifeline Bookfair. Mwah!

<3! Geeeeeeeeeeeeeen, please!
Seriously, though, what the hell? All the people on that ship were dead and Mustang could just blow the whole thing up so that no one finds the technology - why did he need to take it back? Destroying the Gate from one side would have worked, so that isn't the problem either. Not to mention leaving everyone behind. *grits teeth*

Re: FMA OVA (SHAMBALA ONE) SPOILER WARNING FOR BYSTANDERS

[tammaiya.livejournal.com]

I think so, yeah. XD

Aaah, that'll be fun! I'm really annoyed because I ordered in the second book in a series of japanese books to Kinokuniya but it won't get there until late November, which means just after I go up for U2 and like a month before I go for Christmas. Aaaugh. ;_;

Okay! And yeaaaaaah, I have serious problems with Shambala. Aside from the plot issues you just pointed out, the series was always very strong emotionally, whereas Shambala felt a little flat and 2D. The reunion where Ed FINALLY came back, it wasn't powerful the way it would have been if it had happened in the anime series. It was secondary to the action.

And dude, they should at least have taken Roy and Winry, it's not like they'd moved on at all. >>

[tammaiya.livejournal.com]

It is, yes! XD

[tammaiya.livejournal.com]

Go for it! XD

PS, do you want Christmas fic this year? :O (I will also try birthday fic if you like but it'll possibly be late. *cough*)

[tammaiya.livejournal.com]

Sure! Prompt/pairing? (I'm always asking people, it doesn't matter if you miss a particular post. *g*)

[silvermuse89.livejournal.com]

1. Kingdom Hearts
2. Gundam Wing?
3. Tokyo Babylon
4. House
5. Sukisho??
6. Hana Kimi?
7. Mirage of Blaze
8. Tsubasa
9. FMA
10. X

[tammaiya.livejournal.com]

*applause* Yes to all but 2, 5 and 8!

[tammaiya.livejournal.com]

PS, Christmas fic, y/n?

[tammaiya.livejournal.com]

WAIT NEVER MIND you're already on the christmas list. XD *got herself mixed up because it wasn't X/TB*

[silvermuse89.livejournal.com]

I can't wait to find out what 5 is, it certainly sounds intriguing! I'm thinking Antique Bakery but that's only because strawberry + cakes = yum!

I was tempted to ask for TB/X but since there was less Ouran fic, I went for that. I'm looking forward to Shinsengumi!SxS though, if someone did request it. ♥

Also, re: 2, I can't believe I didn't think of SGA! Too anime-focused, I suppose. XD

[tammaiya.livejournal.com]

I think people will probably be surprised when someone finally gets it. It's actually a very well-known series, though the strawberry connection isn't obvious unless you've read/watched it.

Very logical, that. *g* Someone DID request Shinsengumi!SxS, yes. I've even started thinking about it, though I'm going to need to do some more research. I might end up giving it to you to beta, if that'd be okay?

I am very sneaky, slipping western TV in under the radar that is less obvious than House. XD

[tammaiya.livejournal.com]

Still no! *amused* I think there are probably about 2 people on my flist who will definitely get this, a few more who might.

[tammaiya.livejournal.com]

Heeeee. Want a hint? It's a manga.

[tammaiya.livejournal.com]

There is an anime, yep. Just saying it's not live-action, book or game. *grin*

[tammaiya.livejournal.com]

Hee! I think it's one you'd probably get quite easily if you knew the canon, though maybe not.

[fahye.livejournal.com]

2 - SGA?

*triumphs over the animefen, pathetically*

[tammaiya.livejournal.com]

Hee! Well done, I thought Becky or Cori would probably get it first, but then again I did rant at you a lot about it. XD

[tammaiya.livejournal.com]

We actually have some in the house at the moment, I think... huh.

[tammaiya.livejournal.com]

*gives virtual strawberries* :D

[tammaiya.livejournal.com]

Heeeee! *cuddles*

[kurushi.livejournal.com]

umm... is 5 Bleach or 100% ichigo? *shudders at the memory of shonen soapie*

[tammaiya.livejournal.com]

No, although I hadn't actually considered that strawberry connection. Heh. It's shoujo.

[kurushi.livejournal.com]

meh. I count it as shonen, becuase no woman would appreciate a boy finding love by looking up skirts. *ahem*

[tammaiya.livejournal.com]

Aaah, no, I mean the fandom. *doesn't know 100% ichigo* XD it's been guessed now!

[schiarire.livejournal.com]

5. NANA!!!!!

[tammaiya.livejournal.com]

HAR HAR OH GOD FINALLY!!!!

I didn't think it was THAT hard.
