When You Walk You Leave Black Dirt In The Street

[redbrunja]

gacked from xlovelylightx :

Pick up to 10 ships.
Describe them in less than 15 words.
Have your flist guess the ship.

(I tried to pick different ships than I did last time, so this time it's harder.)

1.) Their relationship is a series-long shiptease. Thank god she has a motorcycle and a hitman boy-toy and he has... cold showers. Murphy/Harry, guessed by qualapec .

2.) They're both Other - it's only logical that they'd understand each other.* Spock/Uhura, guessed by ryanitenebrae 

3.) As much as neither wants to admit it, their love was real, even if everything else was a lie. Jack/Irina, guessed by ryanitenebrae 

4.) She's the rich girl with a heart of gold. He's the nice guy with a superiority complex and the ability to admit when he screws up. guessed by lalita_b 

5.) Their love story is one long fight over who gets to truly be Master. Integra/Alucard, guessed by ivy_chan .

6.) They're the one married couple currently on tv who don't hate each other. And have a sex life. Lily/Marshal, guessed by visualthinker11 

7.) "Well, my wits are in doubt and my shirt's inside out / and I got one eye looking off the the side / but with a menacing smile I'm gonna walk you down the aisle / Brookyn Girl, you're going to be my bride." Shinagawa/Adachi, guessed by neko_no_kaze.

8.) They're only opposites on the surface - at their bones they're exactly the same. Booth/Brennan, guessed by ryanitenebrae 

9.) The fool and his necromancer rule. guessed by ryanitenebrae and smillaraaq 

10.) She's in love with a dead guy and he's living with his father - but I'm sure the show will be canceled before these two will have a chance to make it work. Olivia/Peter guessed by neko_no_kaze.

*I mean this in a very meta-texual way and still I feel like I'm in danger of sounding like Elizabeth Bear. If I do, please tell me. I promise not to sic my flist, my husband, and out your online name if you do.

2. Spock/Uhura?

And 8 is Bones/Brennan, 9 is Sabriel/Touchstone again?

And 3 is Jack/Irina Bristow.

. . .and 6 is Zoe/Wash.

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Damn, girl! You nailed 40% of this in one go! You were only wrong about 6. Since that is true about Zoe/Wash, I edited it to be clear that I am looking for a couple that is CURRENTLY on tv.

[ryanitenebrae.livejournal.com]

Ah-Ha! ^_^ Glad I got them, but I'm more glad that Jack and Irina made this list, as Lena Olin and Victor Garber are both amazing actors, and have an amazing amount of chemistry.

. . .Oh Victor Garber. Why are you not in more things? Why do you only play small roles and people's fathers?

Speaking of the latter, it seems he will eventually be on the show Glee as the main character's dad. (Also, I think you may like the pilot of that show. It was up on Hulu last I checked!)

. . .Oh Victor Garber. Why are you not in more things? Why do you only play small roles and people's fathers?

Unless it's more fathers like Jack Bristow, with his own plotlines and romances and angst. But yeah, he's one of my favorite actors who never seems to have a leading role.

And Glee is on my list to check out - everyone seems to love it.

5 seems like it might be Soul/ Maka, but it seems too easy.

Or is it Hinata/ Neji?


Points for the gratuitous Victor Garber icon. What is that from?

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

*shakes head*

Sorry, but none of those are right.

And I'm pretty sure the icon is from Alias. *sigh*Victor Garber is one of the those actors that I just adore.

[teh-amazing-one.livejournal.com]

Ah. Thought I'd ask. He's been in everything from Sondheim to Music Man to Legally Blonde.


He is teh awesome.


I grew so attached to Garber's John Wilkes Booth that I hated Micheal Ceveris--- bald guy from Fringe---for a while. Ceveris played Booth in the revival of Assassins.

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

He HAS been in everything. He's very talented.

[smillaraaq.livejournal.com]

9 has to be Sabriel and Touchstone...

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Correct!

[visualthinker11.livejournal.com]

#6 is (i think) marshall and lily, yay!

and i'm amused at the idea that #5 would be the doctor/the master, but i'm betting you're going for something a bit different there. ; )

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Correct! And no, doctor/master is NOT the ship I was going for. ^_^

[wicked-seraph.livejournal.com]

5. I don't know shit about Yugioh, but for some reason I think of Yugi and Atem...? :/

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

I know even less about Yugioh - I have no idea who those characters are.

[wicked-seraph.livejournal.com]

Shit, I fail so hard D:

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Not really. How could you be sure I didn't know that fandom?

[wicked-seraph.livejournal.com]

I feel like I should, though. Not knowing makes me feel like I'm not paying attention, or something to that degree. :/

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Don't worry about it. I can't always remember who ships/watches what on my flist.

(Hint: most of everything I watch is in my tags/interests list.)

[wicked-seraph.livejournal.com]

(I'm incredibly unobservant at times =A=)

[teh-amazing-one.livejournal.com]

She doesn't ship yaoi, either?



(Adding some fail syrup to your pancakes. And just when you were starting to feel good about yourself again, huh?)

[wicked-seraph.livejournal.com]

Truth be told, I don't really differentiate between yaoi, yuri, and het pairings - I would really only use it for fic summaries in case there's someone who goes batshit if faced with het/yaoi/yuri fic. Personally, a ship is a ship regardless of genders involved. :/

moar fail syrup plz? dese pankaeks r 2 drai. :(

[ivy-chan.livejournal.com]

Five is Integra/Alucard?

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Hell yeah!

[neko-no-kaze.livejournal.com]

#7 is Shinagawa and Adachi from Yankee-kun to Megane-chan?

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

I WAS SURE NO ONE WOULD GET THAT! YES, YES IT IS.

[neko-no-kaze.livejournal.com]

Yays! I remember when you posted the song and I thought it was neat. ^_^ My memory works in weird way. #10 kinda seems like True Blood, but I haven't seen much of it.

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you remembered! And 10 isn't from True Blood.

[neko-no-kaze.livejournal.com]

Random mind bubble. Is #10 Starbuck and Apollo from BSG?

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Nope. Good guess, though.

[neko-no-kaze.livejournal.com]

I can't wait until someone guesses it. ^_^

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

I don't think anyone will - do you want me to tell you?

[neko-no-kaze.livejournal.com]

OH! Now I get it. But I don't know if it counts with the extra hint. Olivia and Peter right? I feel so silly now.

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Yep! But don't feel bad - it's really not a fandom I talk about that much.

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Nope!

[hungrytiger11.livejournal.com]

Is one Max and Logan from Dark Angel?

She does have a motorcycle....

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

That's a good guess, but no.

[qualapec.livejournal.com]

One is HarryxMurphy.

*heavy sigh* Shiptease is right.

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Yatzee.

Biggest shiptease ever. I think I started shipping Murphy/hitman out of sheer spite.

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Correct!
