monday is meme day

[schmerica]

Stolen from marksykins:

Ask me a fandom, and I will tell you:

+ OTP
+ Runner-up
+ Honorable mention(s)
+ Crack pairing(s)
+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't

And of course I'm using OTP in the sense of MOST FAVORITE AWWWWWWWWWWWW, usually, rather than anything more intense.

So what are you guys up to today, anyway? I'm incredibly sleepy, thankful for the day off of school for the holiday, and slightly annoyed that it's not raining outside like I was promised.

How about Bones?

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

OH MAN. I am so incredibly boring when it comes to Bones! Okay, let's see--

OTP: Booth/Brennan. Times ONE MILLION.
Runner-up: Definitely Hodgins/Angela, because they are adorable and I am glad they are back together.
Honorable mention: uhhh, IDK. Oh, hey, you know what I could go for, is a little Bones/Angela. Just sweet, best friends but also sex! Bones could talk about her own lesbian experimentation all anthropologically.
Crack pairings: I would kind of like to see Booth/Brennan/Sweets. W/E W/E I DO WHAT I WANT.

[stealstheashes.livejournal.com]

lol I thought about offering you an alternative fandom but I'm pretty sure ino your bandom opinions and I couldn't really see The Middleman being that much easier.

Boring or not, your opinions are all good and you should feel good! :D The Bones/Booth/Sweets makes me lol except for the part where I've seen it mentioned enough and thought about it enough that I could PROBABLY be convinced.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

You answered my comment before I could edit to add in the last category!

Pairing everybody else likes: I really like Cam/Booth as friendly exes -- I love the glimpses we see of them knowing each other and even each other's families so well -- but I really disliked them together.

Anyway, I don't know if I should feel better or not that other people kinda want the Bones/Booth/Sweets too. I just -- he imprinted on them like a baby duck, you know? He's writing a book about how in love they are their partnership and kind of stalks them. It's weirdly sweet.

[stealstheashes.livejournal.com]

I am tricksy like that! Actually, I figured you just left it out because there wasn't one! But that makes sense; I think I like them best as friends too.

looool somehow that just made me imagine one of them turning to the other and asking, "Can we keep him? :D?" And I did not at all go from that to imagining him accidentally sleeping with them (both of them separately) and being all D: because they were supposed to realize they loved each other and freaking out, only for it to all work out in the end AND IF I DID I'M FIRMLY PUTTING THE BLAME ON YOU.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Also I have a hard time seeing Booth with a guy in general but in this version it is hilarious because like, Sweets will be giving him all these psychological things about how normal it is and Booth will be like STOP TALKING

[stealstheashes.livejournal.com]

lol poor Booth. HE JUST DOESN'T WANT SWEETS PSYCHOANALYZING HIM IN BED.

[amathela.livejournal.com]

Um, how about Disney in general? (RPF, shows, movies, whatever.) Or just Wizards of Waverly Place, if you think you can answer that on its own.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I really am a one-pairing girl for WoWP, so Disney-etc it is!

OTP is a hard one, but I think in the end I have to give it to Demi/Selena, because their love is the purest love.
Runner-up thus goes to Justin/Alex because they are in love and I still get all flaily every time I think about the campfire scene. And he would never leave her! Even when he doesn't know who she is! SIGH.
Honorable mention goes to Rosie/Carter from Princess Protection Program for being the most fucking precious.
Crack pairing -- okay, I don't think D.Henrie/Selena is really that much of a crack pairing, but I feel so WEIRD about it, I don't even know. I feel kind of dirty!
SHip everybody else likes: IDK, I just can't get into any of the HSM stuff, and it makes me sad, because it looks like a good time.

[amathela.livejournal.com]

Oh, I so agree with these! (Except for HSM, because I actually am into that a little (mostly Zac/Vanessa/Ashley RPF), and it is good times.)

Demi/Selena is awesome. As is Carter/Rosie. And ... like, I really do ship David/Selena, in this way where I really enjoy reading fic about them or whatever, but I can't quite bring myself to write it. (Yet. It'll probably happen eventually, I am mostly shameless.) I think if she was a year older, I probably would have already. But RPF isn't usually something that makes me hesitate, so I don't know what it is with them.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I think for me part of it is shipping Demi/Selena so hard and another part of it is that when I was first getting into the fandom pirateygoodness was all STAY AWAY, HE IS A MASSIVE TOOL.

[amathela.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I've heard that about him. Which is maybe why I didn't start shipping them right away? (Usually, that's the killer, when I insta-ship something and there's no backing away.)

[mazily.livejournal.com]

Um, Star Trek: TOS?

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

OTP:

Now comes the part of the meme when I try to remember what other pairings even exist in TOS. Uh.

Runner-up: Sarek/Amanda, omg. The human/Vulcan combination, and they're so different, but so ridiculously in love, it's just. I love them.
Honorable mention: You know what I actually really like to read, is some Jim/Carol Marcus fic, set when they were together. I feel like that could be so interesting.
Crack pairing: I don't really have one. They're all basically Kirk/Spock in alternate universes.
Ship everybody else likes: I just can't into Spock/Bones. Needs moar Kirk.

[affably.livejournal.com]

Bandom?!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

OTP: Pete/Mikey.
Runner-up: Waycest :(
Honorable mentions: Gerard/Ray, Gerard/Brian Schechter, MCR GSF, Gerard/Lyn-z, and in the past Cash/Singer
Crack pairing: There is something about Pete/Bob that is ridiculously hot. IDEK.
Ship everybody else likes: Frank/Gerard. Sigh.

[cidercupcakes.livejournal.com]

Buffy!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

OTP: Buffy/Giles. Duh.
Runner-up: Giles/Jenny Calendar
Honorable mentions: Xander/Cordy (idky! i just loved them). Willow/Oz. Willow/Tara.
Crack pairing: I would kind of adore fic where Dawnie had a monster hero worship baby dyke crush on Cordelia, ngl.
Ship everybody else likes: I don't think that many people liked Willow/Xander, but OMG IT SQUICKED ME SO HARD DDDD:

[amathela.livejournal.com]

Totally interrupting to say, yes, somebody else who feels exactly the same way about Willow/Xander that I do! I mean, I am generally hard to squick (see: WoWP, every other incest pairing I ship ever), but Willow/Xander did that.

Also, OMG:

I would kind of adore fic where Dawnie had a monster hero worship baby dyke crush on Cordelia, ngl.

This has to be the cutest, awesomest thing I have heard in at least a few hours.

(And Xander/Cordy, yay!)

[cidercupcakes.livejournal.com]

I would kind of adore fic where Dawnie had a monster hero worship baby dyke crush on Cordelia, ngl.

Ahahahaha, that would be DELIGHTFUL.

I sort of didn't feel that strongly about Willow/Xander one way or the other at the time, but I suspect rewatching will increase this feeling to "dislike". DD on why it squicks you?

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I have these super bizarre issues about any storyline that involves two friends, one crushing/in love with the other one for years, and then the two of them getting together. It's like bulletproof squick. I don't know if it's the power imbalance or what, but I'm never rooting for the oblivious one to change their mind and notice the other, I'm also rooting for the one crushing to find someone who likes them right away.

[cidercupcakes.livejournal.com]

Oh mfy, I have developed serious issues with that kind of storyline over the years. I can definitely buy that.

[mourning-night.livejournal.com]

Was going to ask for bandom: MCR but I think that's already asked so Criminal Minds?

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

ahaha, um. Me/not watching it? :D?

[mourning-night.livejournal.com]

*laugh* I'm so bad I always end up watching it because it comes on just afterwards.. so do you do any Dr. Who ships?

[elucreh.livejournal.com]

Do you do Panic ships?

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Sadly no. :( I ... like it when Brendon gets fucked? But that's not really a ship.

[elucreh.livejournal.com]

LOL, fair enough. Ummm, lessee. SGA?

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

ahahah oh god it has been so long since I was at all invested in SGA. LET'S SEE. Keeping in mind I only saw, like, the first three season or so--

OTP: Elizabeth/Rodney
Honorable mention: first season Elizabeth/John/Rodney
Runners-up: first season John/Ford
Crack pairings: nada.
Ships everyone else likes: I HATE JOHN/RODNEY SO MUCH IT'S LIKE FLAMES ON THE SIDE OF MY FACE

[cidercupcakes.livejournal.com]

JOHN/RODNEY IS SO FUCKING DULL, WTF. I DO NOT EVEN UNDERSTAND. EVERY OTHER PAIRING YOU CAN COME UP WITH FOR THAT SHOW MAKES MORE SENSE THAN JOHN/RODNEY.

[strobelighted.livejournal.com]

I was never in SGA fandom, but IAWTHATE. PEARL WE AGREE ON SOMETHING!

[happy-coconut.livejournal.com]

&first season John/Ford;

[strobelighted.livejournal.com]

Due South.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

OTP: Fraser/Kowalski, duh.
Honorable mention: Fraser/Victoria.
Runner-up: Fraser/Stella, Fraser/Thatcher, Frannie/Kowalski, Fraser/Kowalski/Vecchio, Fraser/Vecchio.
Crack pairings: Frannie/RayV. Welsh/Frannie. Frannie/Thatcher. Fraser/Maggie. Fraser/Maggie/RayK.
Ship everyone else seems to like: I hate Ray/Ray, I really do. Also I can't get into Turnbull/anybody.

[happy-coconut.livejournal.com]

Fraser/Stella?

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

It's all about Fraser being in love with RayK and RayK being oblivious! IDK, it works for me.

[happy-coconut.livejournal.com]

It just seems like it would hurt RayK so much :(

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

It is not really them in a real relationship! Just sex. Ray doesn't have to know about it.

Ces has one that's really good somewhere

[myounghistory.livejournal.com]

I feel like Fraser/Stella is like the equivalent of Patrick/Mikey. >:(

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

:((((

[happy-coconut.livejournal.com]

I feel like that too. I think I'm going to get smacked for it.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I would not smack you for that! It is a fair opinion.

[myounghistory.livejournal.com]

DC Comics!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I'm surprised by how difficult this is!

OTP - Batgirl/Robin. ♥____♥ Shut up, it's not cheating.
Runner-up - probably Roy/Dick?
Honorable mention - Roy/everybody else! Dinah/Ollie.
Crack pairing(s): Bruce/Babs? Batman/Gordon? Batman/Cass? IDK.
Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't - hm, IDK, Bruce/Tim maybe? I don't have anything against it but I never really got into it.
