Let Me Tell You About My Best Friend...

[livejournal.com profile] fannish5 asks:

Name the five unlikeliest (but successful) canon friendships.

1.) Sokka & Zuko. Never in a million years would I have seen that coming.

2.) Sarah & Casey. The slow, almost behind the scenes build of their friendship - from interdepartmental rivalry to having each other's backs - is one of my favorite things about Chuck.

3.) HIMYM. I think just the show itself deserves a mentions, for writing a show about three couples (or two couples, one dude, and a mystery woman) and having each character have a friendship with all the other characters. It is truly a show about a group of friends.

4.) Black Star and Soul. I did not expect them to be BFFs, or to get the attentions their BFF-ness did.

5.) Sumire and the English journalist. They start out disliking each other (they were just too alike) and end up friends who look out for each other.

Sokka and Zuko are one of those I never would have expected, but now that it's happened, it seems so natural!

And Soul and Black Star are so adorable. I love how Ohkubo subverted the usual shonen patterns by making the two boys BFFs and then leaving the rivalry business to Black Star and Maka.

Totally agree about Sokka and Zuko, but it seems really natural (and adorable) once they do.

Total word on Sarah & Casey- if they weren't such good partners/reluctant BFFs I would've shipped them. Their relationship is just too awesome as that- they're one of the battle-pair I don't ship because of it :)

*sighs happily* To think of it, Chuck is full of awesome friendships- the whole Bartowski family/Nerd Herd stuff.. Chuck&Casey, Captain Awesome&ANYONE.. I need third season now.

I expect Black Star and Soul to have some kind of rivalry, at first (signs of too much reading shonen mangas) but they turned out to be BFFs. A lovely pair of one, unexpectedly. Even their rivalry with Kid was much, much less than what I expected, and I'm surprised that the three boys are pretty much bros-for-life in the next chapters.

I predicted Sokka&Zuko OTF after Zuko started showing out his dorky side. Seriously, no writer would want to miss that opportunity.
