@Shizuka - hahaha, yea I was just kidding with you, heh. But I feel you on the tired thing so you're totally forgiven, hope everything is ok, hospital trips are rarely good...o_O
I'd much rather have my ear eaten than be pooped on, I agree, hahaha. But yes, I hate pigeons, they are disgusting.
@Kits - they don't poop that much, that's true, but still, rodents rarely poop on you. Unless you put them into your lap. And then that's your choice to be pooped on. I can't say I'm the biggest rodent fan either though. I like rabbits and chinchillas, but that's about it, and they do poop way too much. If I have kids they are going to be leaned towards reptiles. Snakes are awesome, we'll definitely have some snakes, I want jellyfish (want to get a saltwater tank setup, need to gear myself up for that since it's a lot of work), turtles if I can afford an aquarium (turtles in a tank are almost as bad as rodents would be smell and mess wise), and cats. If I marry/date/get it's complicated with (^_~) a dog person then dogs are ok too. I like dogs, but I know I'm not a dog person, so caring for a dog isn't something I'd sign up to do alone.
I meant their cages smell bad, I think the only time water fowl smell bad particularly are in marshes - and that's because marshes smell bad on the basis of the water is pretty stagnant. Around lakes and anything with moving/cycled water they're fine. Many birds are pretty, but that doesn't make me like them. I've known some pretty assholes as well, their beauty didn't make me more amenable to them ^_~.

Rabbits are okay, chinchulas can be evil. My favorites are guinea pigs and rats. Also like mice. Dang, jellyfish are dangerous, woman. o.o I think I'd be happy with just two or three cats, a snake or two, and maybe some millipedes. I feel the same as you with dogs; wouldn't get one on my own, but I'd love to have one in the house if someone else took care of it. Ah, I see. XD

Chinchillas are so soft! I just don't find guinea pigs/hamsters/rats/mice very attractive...that in combination with smelly cages and a poop overload don't make them very preferable to me. I will give rats their due for intelligence though, unlike hamsters (which are dumb as posts), rats can be very clever. If I want furry pets I'm probably sticking with cats and dogs. Though I'd have rabbits if I could have an outdoor hutch.
I like danger ^_~. And they are really pretty. Millipedes huh? That's a pretty interesting pet choice, I can't really think of anyone who specifically desires to own them. Do you have/have you had them as pets already?
Rereading what I said before, that was probably a lie, there is a line with assholery for sure, but before that line is crossed a little bit of cruel/jerk like behavior has a tendency to be attractive to me. I just try to deny this and avoid guys who are assholes on the principal that it's a bad idea, not that it completely offends me. It should offend me, but it just doesn't. It's why I like characters like Avaric so ^_~.

Yeah, but they bite a lot. >_< Hamsters I'm not to into. I guess they're cute enough, but as you said, they're really dumb, not to mention all they ever do is try to escape. I think guinea pigs, rats, and mice are all adorable, though probably mice the most. And guinea pigs cuddle with you and purr, and squeak loudly when they're excited... oh, also the short hair ones are actually a lot cuter than the often-seen long hair ones: http://www.apetinc.com/site/largepics/748/62852/283532/390978/Guinea_Pig_2.jpgMice are kind of brainless like hamsters, so that makes them a bit less appealing, but rats are just so much fun, sitting on your lap and playing and all of that. I love their tails. But yeah, I don't think I'd be willing to own a rodent though. XD;; Yes, I had millipedes in the past. They are awesome pets. They feel really cool when they climb on your skin, they're super smooth and cool-looking, they're very docile, they just curl up in the most adorable little ball to sleep, they're easy to take care of... Only downfall I see is that they can get mites if you're not careful to clean them, and when nervous they sometimes let some very mild acid onto your skin. It will just irritate your skin at worst though. I only like/am attracted to assholes in fictional settings. And even that's quite uncommon.

I actually haven't seen the longer hair ones much, the pet store by my house has the shorthair ones and my two friends that have owned guinea pigs also had ones that were shorthaired. I do think (from pictures I've seen of the longhaired ones) that the shorthaired ones are indeed cuter. I think I like chinchillas mainly because they are cute, clean and soft, but I think I'm pretty sure - without ever actually owning anything but a rabbit - that I am not into rodents at all. I think if I want to avoid biting rats are out too, with only one exception, every single rat any friend of mine has ever had has been a biter. And they have very sharp teeth, and plagues. Haha, j/k about the plagues, but they do have sharp teeth. The one exception was retarded, so I'm not sure I'd like to trade biting out for mental slowness. My friend's little sister got a rat recently though, one of the giant ones that are usually fed to boas (she "saved" it). It bit one of their dogs, but I hate that dog so on that I'm rather fuzzy to the rat. I'm not a dog person but I usually like most of my friends dogs. I even like this same family's other dog. The one that was bitten though, on top of being mangy, is a jerk. I'm doubly offended by the fact that her name is Abigail, I may not like my name, but things that have my name in their name should be less evil. Because I'm totally sweet and innocent *tips the halo back onto the horns* ^_~.
Interesting...well, the acid thing doesn't sound very pleasant, and in general, indoor bugs give me the heebie-jeebies (something about having them outside makes me much more comfortable, which is probably why I tend to like bees, butterflies, praying mantises and the like - because these are bugs you'll almost never catch inside), so I don't think I could do any kind of pede. That's interesting though.
It's very common for me in the fictional setting, and I try very hard to just keep it there.

Hope I'm not interrupting the conversation! I think I'll cheat at this. I used a character sorter to sort my favorite characters for me (which is in Japanese, includes GX/5Ds characters, which I am excluding for the sake of a DM-centric list). I'll just tweak it to make it more accurate. :9 1. Haga 2. Ryuzaki 3. Anzu 4. Kotsuzuka 5. Roba 6. Mai 7. Rebecca 8. Pegasus 9. Jounouchi 10. Kajiki 11. Kaiba 12. Leon 13. Shizuka 14. Siegfried 15. Rishid 16. Ishizu 17. Noa 18. Yugi 19. Honda 20. Dartz 21. Otogi 22. YamiYugi 23. Bakura 24. Mokuba 25. ...everyone else And I don't dislike anyone! : D

Haha, always interrupt conversations! That's how conversations keep from dying razz
Haga, HAGA?!? REALLY?!? Hahaha, ok well to each their own, but oh man he ticks me off, creepy bug guy! My only use for him is that I do rather love to slash him with Rex (who is one of my favorite characters, *huggles Rex* - FYI Ryuuzaki/Rex is one of the few characters I tend to prefer using the English name on, I have a soft spot for that name, not sure why really). Yes if you didn't notice, Haga is the very bottom of my list...at least I think he is. He's definitely down there though. So what makes him so appealing to you (since he's yet to get his own thread for an elaborate discussion, and probably won't anytime soon)? Curiosity, not condemnation here.
You don't dislike anyone huh...suspicious ninja . Heh, just kidding, that's nice, how amiable you are. At least with YGO. Also this means I can't pretend to write mock evil fanfics pairing you with one of your despised characters like I'm currently doing with Kits and Morgey - and eventually when I'm done with my current serious fanfic I'm going to write these spoofs. I WILL!!
If you wanted to make a second list including GX/5D that might be interesting. Personally never got into either series, and wouldn't be familiar with it (save for a couple of the main characters in GX, I don't know 5D at all though), but you know, someone else might find that interesting xd .

Okay!
ROFL YES HAGA. I know, I know~ I can totally get why someone would hate his guts. I'm surprised when someone DOESN'T dislike him, actually! And since you mentioned it, I adore Ryuzaki/Haga as well. I'm glad you at least like Ryuzaki!
And let's see... well, um. First of all, I'm pretty shallow, and I find his character design to be very MOEEEEE~ appealing. Like, I have this huge thing for bowlcuts and glasses, so that helps. Him being fourteen also helps. rofl what is that even supposed to mean. And I get a kick out of his sucky personality, and I think he has the most horrible/hilarious expressions ever. And dub voice is so funny, and I think his Japanese voice actress is amazing. I could gush on forever about him, I think. 8|a And I guess I should mention he's not just my favorite character in YGO, but of. Like. Everything ever. That's ... kinda sad somehow?!
I guess.. to sum it up... I just have weird taste in characters, and he's just the kind of character I like!
Aheh, you'd be hard-pressed to find disliked characters of mine for any series! I can't even think of any. ALSO that fanfic idea sounds hilarious! You gonna post those in the guild?
And sure! (What a long post this is turning out to be!) I've only watched up to about 70 or so of 5D's...
1. Carly 2. Jaeger 3. Lua 4. Ushio 5. Aki 6. Luka 7. Jack 8. Mikage 9. Yusei 10. Misty 11. Divine 12. Tenpei 13. Yanagi 14. Himuro 15. Kiryu 16. Crow 17. Godwin 18. Rally 19. Rudger 20. ... everyone else. :D

Hahahaha, that is beyond amusing. Especially a thing for bowlcuts? I mean I have a thing for glasses, but I don't think I've ever heard anyone say "my my that's a sexy bowlcut you are sporting" ^_~. So that's very interesting indeed. Anyhow at least you aren't boring, I mean so many people have Ed from FMA or Sasuke from Naruto or someone else large and generic as their all time favorite character. Someone the majority of people like anyhow, so of course it's not hard to understand the favortism. I don't know if I can pick one all time favorite character myself, but I know a large part of my list is going to be dedicated to those major players that have a large fanbase.
Yes, I do like Rex. He's awkward, and either completely out of it or the one person ahead of the game, he can be perceptive when he wants to be. And I like his hair. While I've never liked Haga, I do like the way the two play off each other, so I guess I always want Haga around at least.
I'll have weird reasons for liking characters, but generally my character loves themselves aren't that odd. Not usually anyhow. I think my taste in characters tends to vary more in books than in manga/anime. You have more room for development there.
If I ever write the fanfics, yes I'll post them in here, or at least link them if I decided they were good enough pieces of crack to upload onto ff.net. I doubt they will be, but when/if I get them done I'll definitely share.
Haha, ONLY 70. Well that's about 70 more than I've seen. And hooray for listing!

W-well, when I say I have a thing for bowlcuts, I mean that I just find them appealing in a character's design! So you wouldn't hear me saying that rofl. And there's nothing wrong with liking the characters with a huge fanbase... though, yeah, it's always kinda weird to see someone's list of favorite characters, and all of them being the most popular one of their respective series. Maybe it's just strange to me since I end up liking side characters more often than not. Totally sucks sometimes, not enough horrible, horrible porn fanart of the people I like compared to huge fanbase characters. Oh well~
Ryuzaki is totally cute. And he has a cute accent too! Though, I kinda hate it when I'm trying to read/translate some fancomic with him in it. And man, I feel bad for him. He's never had an on-screen win (and there's even niconico videos about how he nevers wins, they're hilarious). Poor guy. And yeah! They do play off each other well. And it seems like those two don't have any other friends/rivals/whatever they are, besides each other.
And cool, hope to some linked here one day, then! :>
And you should watch 5Ds! It's actually pretty enjoyable. The duels are pretty fun/interesting to watch. And I wanna link you to this one screencap from it, but it's kinda spoilerish... would you mind, or do you not really care for spoilers? :o

@JK: Oh, really? It seemed like all I ever saw were the long-hair ones, until I got my own. That was the first time I ever saw short-haired, and I was so surprised and thought they were so adorable! *_* Really? o.o That's a lot of biting rats. I don't think I've ever known a rat that bites; my sister has some that are super sweet, and they may nibble on your finger lightly, but it doesn't hurt, and that's the extent of it. Haha, sounds like an obnoxious dog. XD It's pretty rare for me to dislike a dog as well, though my friend's sister has a super annoying one that I despise, and my brother has a pretty annoying one that I'm not too fond of. It's not because they're mean though; both those dogs like me, and they follow me everywhere and are just so annoying! Bees never get into your house? o.o They seem to all the time for me. I love praying mantises though. <3 Butterflies and bees are nice as well. And centipedes are pretty dangerous, so I stick with millipedes. XD;; They're cuter and not creepy-looking like centipedes are anyway.
@Rikkai: Nope, we welcome the interruption. ^^ OMG a character sorter?! That is so awesome! I should try using that and maybe get a more refined list than what I have; I made mine in Word and just used a bunch of dividing methods. XD;; I see how the sorter works, and can read/translate the names, but does it include Genex and 5D's in with the Duel Monsters characters, or are those separate sorters? o.o If they're included, I'll probably just leave those characters out too, since I'm only somewhat into either franchise, and don't really consider them the same as Duel Monsters.
@JK: I know there's other people in this guild who are Haga fans. XD Not common, but they exist. I don't hate him, but he's definitely not one of my favorite characters. Yeah, sure you'll get to writing those fics someday. rolleyes If you do, I'll end up writing a Honda one for you. razz
@Rikkai: Haga/Ryuuzaki FTW! Sounds like you would be a fan of Mandark from Dexter's Lab then... wink And no worries. XD Jounouchi is my favorite character from like everything ever, so we can be sad together.
@JK: Yeah, I think I generally attach to characters somewhat in the middle. Not the most popular ones, but still ones that have a decent fanbase and are generally liked. Like Jounouchi is a perfect example of that. Ryuuzaki does have pretty kickass hair.
@Rikkai: Yeah, I mean it gets so crazy with how many fans some characters have, that you almost feel conformist just for happening to like them. XP But I try not to let popular opinion affect my judgment on characters, though am not always so successful in that. I've been meaning to try more of 5D's out... how many episodes are there?

I love character sorters! They're so fun, and it's interesting to see the results. That one includes all three series. There's also a YGO sorter that excludes females, cards, and really minor characters that isn't in the one I linked. But I have so many females high on my list, there's no point in doing that one! And I have a list for the character sorter for anyone who wants to try it out! Aw, yay! I'm glad~! AND ROFL YES Mandark was my favorite character from Dexter's Lab. Good guess! And aw good, that makes me feel better about that then. xD I try not to like other's opinions affect my own either. And 5D's has... 99 episodes out right now, I believe. : D

@Rik - Haha, ok. And yes, true, good fanart is always a plus to liking popular characters, though I've found some weirdly amazing fanbases around characters I wouldn't expect. Especially with Xmen Evolution. I rarely like the main character myself (with exceptions being Ed from FMA, Rosette from Chrono Crusade, etc), but I do tend to like a fairly main character. It's hard for me to attach well to a minor character, particularly in a shorter series. And even in a longer series like Yu-Gi-Oh where I can get to know minor characters more, there is always a larger character I get to fall even more in love with, and then they will win.
I know, you hear about him being this great duelist but all you ever see are his losses, even Haga gets one win. My poor dino man *pets*. They are too annoying to have other friends, haha, I mean I love Rex but I totally get how he'd put most people off.
5D did sound more interesting than GX, and the characters looked better, I might try to watch it one day...umm...as long as the spoiler doesn't relate to a death it's fine? I saw this AMV at Y-con this past fall, and the series looked intriguing, but one of the main characters obviously dies, I mean there is no way you can just try to assume something else happens. And that really pissed me off, so now I'm hoping I never find out what the series is called. I'd still be intrigued but already knowing the end, a depressing end at that, is not cool. So yea, fail AMV, probably was one of the best in it's category but I voted against it because of that. That's TOO big a spoiler.
@Kits - maybe short hair is in in Cali? Haha, idk, but when I think guinea pig I think shorthair. Yea I only have two dogs I particularly dislike. This one because it's mean, and another friend of mine, who I would never tell her because she's so attached. However the dog doesn't have the best odor, she's always in the way, and she's just not very attractive. I don't find it an attractive breed at all, although there are few shorthairs that I like in dogs, especially in mid-size/large dogs (of which hers is). Boxers would be an exception, I think they are adorable. There is another friend who has a really annoying dog but he doesn't irk me as much. Her house is also more dog friendly so this dog (whose actually WAY tiny) just doesn't seem all imposing in the house, which is probably what irks me about my other friends dog.
I think a bee has gotten in once or twice, but it's not like ants or flies or gnats or mosquitoes which are long lasting pests, and spiders. Though I've tend to let daddy long legs take up residence in my room in hopes that they'll eat off some of the other things I don't like. In general bees prefer to be outdoors, though they do get into the cars sometimes. Haha, well centipedes are more creepy looking, I wouldn't exactly call a millipede cute and cuddly though, haha. But yes, you stick with them.
I know other people who like him, but favorite character? I've never encountered one...or at least they've never spoken up.
Hey Morgey's already writing a mean Honda one for me! I don't need two, WHY AM I BEING GANGED UP ON?!? crying
OMG I LOVE MANDARK!! Haha, ok maybe I can see the similarities bug no, because I don't even like Haga and Mandark was amazing.
*sigh* I guess I'll have to be left out on being sad, Kaiba is one of my all time favorite characters, but he's probably not the tops.
His hair is amazing!!!
@Rik - how does a character sorter work? I guess I could just go to it and see but it sounds confusingly random. Like is it a bot, and how does it decide?!
Well, I still must say her guess is random, haha. Ok, they have similarities. I think part of me personally liking Mandark is his role in his setting versus Haga's in YGO.
@Both - btw, Mandark wasn't my favorite character, just fyi. Dexter was. I really disliked Dee Dee though.
Darn long series! I must get through Naruto and finish Ranma 1/2 (almost done with that though) before I pick up another long series.

There's a lot of characters I like that are main characters (like, Rue from Princess Tutu is one of my favorite characters overall), but when it comes to ~*~The Main Character~*~ of a series, they usually aren't that high on the list for some reason. I do like everyone including the main person, but the other characters are always more appealing to me! I don't understand why, it's weird. :V The spoilerish screencap is hilarious as can be to me, but now that I think about it, it's probably best I don't link it then. But yeah! Watch 5D's! It really is a good show, the beginning may be a little slow, but it really picks up after a certain point. It's great! You should start watching before the series gets really long. : D As for the character sorter. You're given two characters at a time, and you choose which one you like better by clicking on their name. There's also other choices between the two names: 引き分け - Tie/like both どっちも知らない - Don't know either of them It can take a while, but it's very cool to see the results all organized in the end.

@Rik - Ooh what a coincidence, I've never seen Princess Tutu or even heard of it until recently when Kits started telling me how much she loves it. Sometimes I really dislike a protagonist, more often than not they aren't my favorite, but my favorite is rarely a minor character.
Well, it'll depend on how fast I get through Naruto, because I only get through things so fast when I have to watch them on my laptop.
Oh ok, but I take it from your translations this sorter isn't in English, so I probably wouldn't understand it enough to use it. Maybe I'll try to find one in English sometime, I mean I'm probably way too lazy...but it's conceivable ^_~.
