I wish the writing bug would hit me again...
I'm so behind on writing more of TEF (assuming that I've put myself on some sort of structured schedule with a definite deadline, which, of course, I haven't). Sad panda :(

71. Which body part do they touch their partner most often? (e.g. hair, hand, arm...) Gaaargh tough. I think Butch would most often be grabbing Buttercup by the wrist - to stop her from hitting him, to stop her from leaving, or to stop her from moving during sex (Not rape! Sex! Remember, it's violent and stuff!). Buttercup... while Butch would tend to touch her in the heat of the "moment," she'd be more likely to touch him at the point of reconciliation. It wouldn't be tender, though... she'd grab him by the neck and just kiss him immediately. Tender lingering is really not her thing (neither of theirs, actually), and for her to dote on things like his chest or his shoulders and slowly pull herself up is just too... sweet and romantic. The abruptness of her grabbing him by the neck to kiss him is akin to shutting her eyes and diving off the edge of a cliff for her.
72. Do they get along well? No? HA! How do you answer this question? Yes and no. They're very like each other, so while they get along in the sense that they understand each other, they don't because they've both got very volatile personalities and have trouble keeping each other in check.
73. Who always wins the argument at the end? Ugh. Neither. It goes back and forth forever, getting progressively more and more heated, until, well, you know, beds and thrashing of a different variety get involved.
74. Where do they go for relationship advice? Not advice so much as venting? I feel like Buttercup would have trouble "talking" to the Professor about it (she'd think the Professor would be very disappointed in her for being with Butch, so she'd try to avoid bringing it up around him), and she'd get too frustrated with Blossom... I don't think she'd go to Bubbles either, really. She'd probably go vent to one of her guy friends, more than likely Mitch. Which of course would piss Butch off. And then he'd go and bitch at Brick. Boomer's too... simple. Simple in the sense that his personality is too relaxed (too zen?) to offer Butch a good wall to vent to. He'd be immensely frustrating for Butch to talk to. Brick, however, would be all resigned and clinical about relationships outside of his own, and Butch knows Brick wouldn't try to get into the deeper meaning behind why he wants to be with Buttercup even when it seems all they do is piss each other off.
75. Exams are near and they are studying. Do they help each other out? Or do they try to beat each other? Do they study at all? Do they help each other out in the sense that Butch cheats and Buttercup is unwilling to resist the temptation to cheat with him? And why would they try to beat each other if they didn't give a shit about it in the first place?
76. What do they do during summer vacation? Definitely surfing. Hang out with friends, dick around, stay out late, frequent the skate park...
77. What do they say to each other after summer vacation, or after not seeing each other for a while? Okay, let's assume Butch "went away" for awhile. Reconciliation would be awkward and they wouldn't want to make an "event" out of it. So they'd oversimplify it. "Hey." "What's up." "..." "So... how was your summer?" *shrug* And on for a short while longer until they got sick of it and just went back to being half-friends in a non-relationship.
78. They just witnessed someone else confessed to their partner. How do they react? Either pretend to ignore it or emphatically dismiss it in an attempt to waylay their attention from their own relationship.
79. Whether it is 'beyond friendship only' or mutual affection, please give your view towards their relationship. A balancing act. In the end, they really do love each other, though they wouldn't say it outright either to each other or themselves. They feel like it would "disrupt the balance." They fight and get angry with each other because... it isn't a yin-yang type of relationship. It's a yin-yin or yang-yang. Neither of them is mature enough to take the high road and not fight. So they fight. A lot. And those fights arise from their insecurities about themselves and the relationship. Also, Butch is a little crazy. Not certifiably insane, but he can get a little... he can lose the plot, occasionally. They both act with their gut, not with their head. It's a very emotion-driven relationship. This is all over the place, and there's more, but that's the gist of my take on it. Plus whatever else you've read off this meme so far :P
80. What will you be doing right now if you have never known about this pairing? That's assuming I never watched the PpG, since it's not like I was "turned on" to this ship via the fandom (though it certainly was fueled by certain aspects). It actually assumes a lot about my tastes, but now I'm getting way into it. I'll just say I'd probably be doing something else equally mundane, probably related to cleaning out my desktop and attempting to organize my files. Or just surfing the interwebs for pretty fanart. Riveting, I know.
I NEED TO WRITE SOMETHING.
edit: GUYS. FANDOM. CAN WE STOP WITH THE BAD!PPGFIC? I know it's like, a tall order and everything, but REALLY. PLEASE.
PLEEEEAAASE.

About your edit: I KNOWWWWWW. GAWD. Srsly. And honestly? I haven't found a great PPG fic since I discovered your account. Which ...sadly, was a loooong time ago.

But I suppose that's reaching for the company we tend to share in this fandom >:(
