I love them! To put it mildly as well of course, but it's cool if you want to throw the word "obsessed" in there, I will understand XD The political war and intrigue is one of the first things that appealed to me about FFXII. I mean, I go absolutely nerdy over things like that. I also love how rich and detailed the world is; the settings are so expansive. It never feels like you're in "random town on the way to town that really matters," etc. It gives a unique complexity to the game that I enjoy.
I can imagine obviously that the significance of meeting a deadline in the "real world," and in college is completely different. At least, the consequences aren't the same of course. I'm a horrible procrastinator, but I've gotten slightly better. Trouble is, I even do it with things I like. Just know that of course you are not alone in that, and hopefully it gets better XP
Love, love, love being a Lit major. It's really affected how I read everything though. I'm extremely analytical, but it's fun for me. Ah, I might have done journalism, but I lack the personality for it (way too shy, etc). What field of journalism are you interested in? Today in one of my classes we talked about the GRE test, which I did not know about at all, apparently it's a test for Grad school applicants. Well I went to the site and checked out the practice test for English Lit... I think if I took it I probably would have ended up getting maybe 10 out of 230 questions right XD
Penelo/Larsa is one of the reasons I see Penelo as more than as you said, a damsel-in-distress, or sidekick. I wasn't really fond of Larsa that much up until the end of the game, and then I was all "he's pretty cool for such a lil guy," he went from pretentious to mature in my eyes. But anyway, I figure being the mature boy he is, Larsa really wouldn't be so fond of Penelo if she was such a weakling, etc. I find their relationship very interesting, and cute. And what are your top 5?
My OTP would have to be Balthier/Fran, if I'm going with what makes the most sense, or is most evident, blah blah, but I love Basch/Ashe too and Balthier/Ashe is fun. I mean... I'm really all over the place with FFXII since I like all the characters and I'm really interested in the sort of dynamics that different pairings might have, especially between the characters that acted like they didn't even know each other in the game. I mean the lack of direct conversation between the females in the game leaves all sorts of possibilities, as well as being a bit odd. How could there be no bonding moments XP. I'm always interested in anything that paints the characters in a new way. Again, all over the place XD
And yes I'll add you; I'll check out some of your fics as well ^^
