A couple things
Apr. 30th, 2006 03:14 amEh, so I saw Ep. 77 of Sonic X, dubbed (aka, "A Fearless Friend"). Forgive me but... I laughed n.n; I don't know what happened... when I first saw the French dub, certain parts made me feel sick to my stomach. But the English dub... I just could NOT take seriously at all ^^; I'm sorry. I don't know if they cut some stuff out... or if the voice acting was just lame... or if understanding the story better made it just seem more ridiculous to me... but... I spent the majority of it trying not to snort n.n;; Sorry. But that's just how it was. x.n; Oh well.
Speaking of VAs... Pokémon has new ones. Pretty much the entire cast has been re-voiced o.o And it's lame ;_; I never thought I'd hear myself saying "bring back Eric Stuart!", but I'd take him back in a heartbeat over these wannabes n.n; They try TOO hard to sound like the originals, and it ends up sounding like a fandub or, worse, a Flash parody n.n;; I could write an uber-rant, but what's the point? ::Sigh:: First they messed with the Sonic VAs... now Pokémon too? NOTHING IS SACRED ::clings to someone and whines::
Ah, okay, meme time ^^
Choose twelve characters from your fandoms, then answer the questions under the list. Do not look at the questions beforehand.
Mine:
1. Falco Lombardi
2. Heero Yuy
3. Sally Acorn
4. Sonic the Hedgehog
5. Duo Maxwell
6. Fox McCloud
7. Miles "Tails" Prower
8. Meowth
9. Knuckles the Echidna
10. Wufei Chang
11. Amy Rose
12. Katt Monroe
1. Who would make a better college professor, 6 (Fox McCloud) or 11 (Amy Rose)? What subjects would they teach?
Fox would be a better professor. He'd take after his dad and be respected. Hmm... he'd probably teach something combat related. Amy would teach "Stalking 101" ^^;
2. Do you think 4 (Sonic) is hot? How hot?
Oh wow XD What are the chances. *DROOOOOOOL* ... enough said ^_^
3. 12 (Katt) sends 8 (Meowth) on a mission. What is it and does it succeed?
Aww, kitties. I guess Katt would send Meowth on a mission to spy on her 'flyboy', Falco. But Meowth would get sidetracked by something shiny :P
4. What would be 9's (Knuckles) favourite book?
"The M.E. and you - dealing with separation anxiety"
5. Would it make more sense for 2 (Heero) to swear fealty to 6 (Fox) or the other way around?
Hmm... I can't imagine either, but I suppose if it had to be one, it'd be Heero to Fox... he pledges himself to the weirdest causes ^^;
6. For some reason, 5 (Duo) is looking for a roommate. Should s/he share a studio apartment with 9 (Knuckles) or with 10 (Wufei)?
Oh man, talk about your limited options... ^^;; I guess he should go with Wufei, since they know each other... but either pairing would kill each other in much the same way for much the same reasons.
7. 2 (Heero), 7 (Tails) and 12 (Katt) have dinner together. Where do they go and what do they discuss?
Uh. Not much. I can't think of a more unlikely trio ^^; Tails might try to ask Heero about his Gundam... but be rewarded with stony silence. Katt would just annoy them both.
8. 3 (Sally) challenges 10 (Wufei) to a duel. What happens?
I'd pay to watch XD I think Wufei would win, being much larger, and having a katana ^^; Squirrel fur shawl anyone?
9. If 1 (Falco) stole 8's (Meowth) most precious possession, how would he get it back?
I dunno why Falco would want to steal Meowth's charm coin... but if he did, I don't think Meowth would ever get it back ^^; Falco would be long gone. Probably trading it in for an Arwing upgrade.
10. Suggest a title for a story in which 7 (Tails) and 12 (Katt) both attain what they most desire.
"Trading the Sky"
11. What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 (Sonic) and 1 (Falco) to work together?
Hmm... I guess we'd have to get Fox and Tails out of the way first... maybe they discover they're related or something, and go off together to work things out, and Sonic and Falco are left to work together. They'd be reluctant at first, but Sonic needs an aviator, and Falco (reluctantly) needs a leader, so they'd have to team up in the end.
12. If 7 (Tails) visited you for the weekend, how would you get along?
Ooo ^^ Can we say, "gadgets"? I think there'd be a lot of videogaming and a lot of oogling over aircraft on military websites. Oh yeah, and a LOT of talking about Sonic n.n;;
13. If you could command 3 (Sally) to perform any one task of service for you, what would it be?
Er... hmm. Well, she could send Sonic over here ^^
14. Does anyone on your friends list write or draw 11 (Amy)?
I don't think so. Maybe? ^^;
15. If 2 (Heero) had to choose sides between 4 (Sonic) and 5 (Duo), which would it be?
Well I guess that depends on whether Heero likes (ie, tolerates) Duo or wants to kill him, at that precise moment :P
16. What might 10 (Wufei) shout while charging into battle?
"You will pay for this dishonor!!" >O
17. If you chose a song to represent 8 (Meowth), which song would you choose?
How about his own song, "Nyaasu No Uta"? :P
18. 1 (Falco), 6 (Fox) and 12 (Katt) are having dim sum at a Chinese restaurant. There is only one scallion pancake left, and they all reach for it at the same time. Who gets to eat it?
Finally, a trio that makes sense! They'd all go for it. Fox would back out first. Then Falco and Katt would glare at each other. Then Katt would get her claws out ^^;
19. What might be a good pick-up line for 2 (Heero) to use on 10 (Wufei)?
"I will kill you". It's all the guy knows how to say :P
20. What would 5 (Duo) most likely be arrested for?
Probably something REALLY stupid. Like mooning someone. Or 'accidentally' setting fire to something. Or stealing something, street rat that he is :P
21. What is 6's (Fox) secret?
He had a one night stand with Peppy while the old hare was comforting him over James McCloud's death :P I dunno. Does Fox HAVE any sordid secrets? He's too much of a mommy's boy.
22. If 11 (Amy) and 9 (Knuckles) were racing to a destination, who would get there first?
Knuckles, of course. Amy is a sloooooow-mo.
23. 3 (Sally) goes on a blind date with 8 (Meowth) and then another blind date with 11 (Amy). Where would they go and which date would be the best?
o.o Excuse me? XD Um... Meowth would probably drag her to some fancy restaurant and then try to make her pay for the meal n.n; And Amy would be expecting Sonic and would attack Sally with her hammer when he didn't show up ^^; Both dates would be a disaster.
24. 1 (Falco) and 9 (Knuckles) reluctantly team up to save the world from a threat posed by 4's (Sonic) sinister secret organization. 11 (Amy) volunteers to help them but it is later discovered that 11 (Amy) is actually a spy for 4 (Sonic). Meanwhile, 4 (Sonic) has kidnapped 12 (Katt) in an attempt to force them to surrender. Following the wise advice of 5 (Duo), they seek out 3 (Sally), who gives them what they need to complete their quest. What title would you give this fic?
"A Typical Dream of Jai's". :P

Date: 2006-04-30 03:03 am (UTC)Good intentions, but they messed up. Badly.
Oh, I hear the dub of Sonic X is also sucky. xD;
Though I don't know if I WOULD be able to take subbed Sonic X seriously.
... IT'S HARLEY'S VOICE ACTOR. xDDD;;;
I'd be waiting for Sonic to say something like: 'Haari tottemo HAAPI!'
'Haari beri question...'

I know I've talked to you about the last part before..but you were one of the people whose input I was really looking forward to getting in regards to it. I you did, I'm sorry. I don't want to push you to comment...I just wonder if anyone noticed it, heh...
