Time to know me a little better. You know you want to anyway!
If there's anything I love more than anime/manga and art, it's my OTPs.
OTP (n.)
OTP is an fandom acronym for One True Pairing. The term originally meant whatever coupling a story explicitly suggested or depicted. Within the anime fandom, especially love comedies with love triangles, it is sometimes used to imply a character will obviously end up with another character despite the presence of other suitors.
(taken from (
wiki), with whom I share a love/hate relationship with.)
Anyone who watches anime/manga WILL have AT LEAST ONE. er. one one true pairing. (that sounded weird.) But no, OTPs aren't restricted to anime fandoms.
Ok so what appeals to me in an OTP?
1. Opposites attract (in terms of personalities). So cliched I know -_- but true!
2. Hints of it appear in the canon. (not applicable to H/D though. JK Rowling's taste in pairings is obviously very... straight.) OR JUST TOTALLY WACK PAIRINGS. (like... Sarutobi/Iruka. SOMETHING LIKE THAT xD)
3. They look hot together. :3 or cute, whichever's there.
HARRY/DRACO(HP)
Ginny please die in Book 7.
One of the non-anime related OTPs, and which happens to be my only one. xD The other one's probably Ron/Hermione... but then it's too boring. IT'S NOTHING COMPARED TO A GOOD SLASH FIX, RIGHT?
But nothing beats H/D FLUFF. 8D 8D
NARUTO/SASUKE(Naruto)
hahahaha do I really have to explain?
Fine.. READ NARUTO. SASU/NARU IS SO FRIGGIN OBVIOUS IN NARUTO.
Everything about this pairing is ♥. :D:D:D:D
LEE/GAARA(Naruto)
this has to be THE BEST 'SHIP EVAH, MANZ. I mean, it has Lee in it! :o
They've proved time and time again (in fanfics, but who cares) that people CAN change with time, and a bit of love.
(AWWWWWWWWWWW.)
Not convinced? GO READ
DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS, you poor deprived soul.
ICHIGO/ORIHIME(Bleach)
Finally a non-slash OTP! :p I don't care what you Ichigo/Rukia fans say la Ichigo and Orihime are like,
todally meant for each other. Ichigo's so thick he wouldn't realise Orihime likes him if it was being screamed into his face (-->he gets that from me all the time), but it's obvious that he cares a lot about her and stuff. It's possibly CANON as well (from what I've seen from spoiler icons :x ) :D:D:D I'll let you anime Bleach fans to find out after reading the manga. =)
RENJI/RUKIA(Bleach)
Another reason why Ichigo/Orihime exists and should stay.
This is SOOOOOOO canon. SOOOOOOO canon. Ichigo/Rukia fans weep, protest, and gag yourselves for all I care. RENJI CONFESSED IN A FLASHBACK IN VOL. 23 THAT HE LIKES RUKIA. YESSSSSSS.
Sorry to those people who haven't read 23 yet. Or haven't read the manga. THAT BIT WAS FOR YOU.
Ahhh damn I want to read Bleach online. D:D:D:
But if you think I'll succumb to temptations so easily, you are wrong. =)
TAMAKI/KYOUYA(Ouran High School Host Club)
Influenced mostly from fanart (Kyouya is so yummy. Really.) :p OKAA~SAN~!!
And like, they look hot together.
KAKASHI/GAI
(Naruto)
CRACK.. CRACK... *doubles over in tear-filled laughter* READ NARUTO VOL.32 AHHHHAHAHAHA CRACK!!!!!! (omg and LEE/NEJI HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA)
YUMICHIKA/IKKAKU(Bleach)
I love Yumichika. I love Ikkaku. 1+1=2 ♥ They are DAMN FUNNY.
!!! Gravitation FASTER DOWNLOAD D: D:
KIBA/HINATA(Naruto)
I'm just starting to like this seriously as an OTP. x) Shino/Hinata isn't too bad either. (SHINO IS WACK x) x)) But Kiba/Hinata is more obvious so yeah.
NARUTO/SAI(Naruto)
Sai: hehehehehehePENIShehehehehehe
Naruto: D8< !!!!!!!!!!!!!
[edit] SAI IS PERFECT, PERFECT, PERFECT. omg Sai ROCKS.[/edit]
I have about a thousand more OTPs, like Reno/Me and Sasuke/Me, but those you'll find out as you read more anyway. Those listed are only the more major ones. And don't forget the crack pairings. ;) Oh yeah I just realized I can do very wrong things with my Sasuke and Itachi figurines, ala aziraphale_mel.
Uchihacest yay! NC-17 content:
"Oh!... Aniki!" ("why am I always the bottom?" ):< )
"..." (Because you're not as powerful as me, little brother." *smirk*
*gasp* "Don't stop, Aniki!*
*Aniki: big brother :p :p
Maybe it's not so wrong after all.
