So Wrong It's Hot

[redbrunja]

Okay, so in one of the ZILLION top 5 question and answer session running around on my flist (and seriously, I don't check my flist for a couple of days and I'm at skip=300, my god you people type like maniacs), the_sun_is_up  asked okroginator  for her Top Five Ships That Make Me Feel Like Kind of a Sicko for Shipping.

Which was such a great question that I just had to answer it for myself (I hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes.)

Snape/Hermione (Harry Potter)

First of all, all the actual teacher/student power differential that pairings like Kakashi/Sakura avoid are SO FREAKING present with Snape/Hermione. Plus, he's such a bastard.

Nathan/Shilo (Repo: The Genetic Opera)

He's her father. Enough said.

Winry/Roy (Fullmetal Alchemist).

And when I say 'Winry/Roy' I mean anime Winry/Roy where he's the one who executed her parents and she discovers this and is trembling in Gracia's living room and crying and going 'that is so... that is so...' because she's not about to make Gracia's life harder?

Harper/Tolliver (The Harper Connely series)

They were raised as step-siblings, were basically the parents of their blended family, and now travel together using Harper's supernatural abilities to find out how people died. The fact that it's canon doesn't make it not deliciously twisted.

Haruhi/Kyouya (Ouran)

Thanks, beach episode, for making what had been a perfectly awesome ship suddenly horribly problematic.

Yeah, they took something that was traumatic for three women and made it all about their man-pain. God, the more I think about that episode, the more pissed off I get.
