So I realized this homework assignment that is driving me nuts actually was totally done last semester and I have the solutions from it at home. So I'm really not going to worry now! I have a couple minutes before my next class, so I think I'm going to just breathe for a few minutes. So let's have fun times.



Alright, instead of OTPs, it's characters because I think it would be more fun. Fandoms are FF4, FF7, FF8, FFX, Fables, and BSG generally you should be able to figure it out if you know me at all. XD Nongendered for challenge! So yes, go on, guess the characters. Hint: I am predictable.

1. The opposite self-insert; as I get older I find myself acting more like them. Veld from FF7:BC
2. I want to be them when I grow up completely. Bill Adama from BSG
3. They really just want to be the heroic detective and possibly get the princess while they're at it. Bigby Wolf from Fables
4. The tragedy isn't what they are, but that they had simple ambitions and what they are gets in the way of that. Edea from FF8
5. Two words: adaptation decay.
6. From prophet to human in less than three moves. Laura Roslin from BSG
7. Hip years ago, now a little forgetful.
8. Sacrifice averted. Yuna from FFX
9. They've figured out how to stand, if only they'd stop thinking in fairytales.
10. Long and hard is the way that out of darkness leads up to light. Cecil Harvey from FF4
11. Going to be one hell of a politician when they grow up. Rinoa Heartilly from FF8
12. Spunk doesn't mean stupid. Rikku from FFX
13. Cosmonaut thwarted, then released. Cid Highwind from FF7
14. What all the bad boys want, nonreciprocating. Rosa Farrell from FF4
15. The idealization of everything I find attractive. Tifa Lockheart from FF7 (...yeah)

P.S. My new adopted cranky old man blogger points out my issues with the term "Mary Sue"

P.P.S. How to be a failure! Reverse psychology, I see what you did thar.

*laughing* The only reason I guessed both was the plural pronoun, honestly =)

I was trying to nongender them to make them harder, but I'm still pretty predictable. XD

I am also predictable like a predictable thing; I'm not at all surprised that in my meme, a bunch of people picked the right pairing but the wrong quote. I, uh, think that goes to show that my preferences have a very strong and distinctive trend!

I thought about just putting Celes/Locke on all of them and seeing what you'd do.

It does apply to a large number of them.

I am stunned, although perhaps I should not be, at the number of people who picked Vossler/Ashe for #15 - I didn't realize how well it fit them til afterward!

Haven't played FFXII, I only really know anything about Ashe, Basch, Balthier and Fran from friends.

It's fun how you can more often find a person's sociological bent in their fandomishness than their psychological (unless they're REALLY consistent).

I think fandom tells us a lot about ourselves!

FFXII is so good. *prrr* Politics nom.
