In Which Red Fails At Killing The Author

[redbrunja]

Day 01 - What is your current favourite ship
Day 02 - What was your very first ship?
Day 03 - A pairing that needs to happen now?
Day 04 - The pairing with the most chemistry?
Day 05 - The pairing with the least chemistry?
Day 06 - The best kiss?
Day 07 - The most heartbreaking scene?
Day 08 - The pairing with the most baggage?
Day 09 - The most believable relationship?

Day 10 - Why aren't these two married in real life?

I really can't answer this question. First, because I am not able to completely separate an actor/author/etc from there work, I purposely avoid learning too much about real people in case I discover that something about them that would effect how I feel about their work. So I have no idea what actors are being cute with each back stage or not (well, I have some idea, but basically actors are strangers to me, so I have no idea who they would be good with). Secondly, saying who I think a real person should be a real relationship with when I don't know them personally strikes me as really invasive and entitled. Actors aren't pandas in a zoo, people.

(Also, the next question up is "what is your dream pairing" and I'm kind of confused by what they mean by that.)

Day 11 - What is your dream pairing?
Day 12 - Who had the best wedding?
Day 13 - What is your favorite television pairing?
Day 14 - What is your favorite book pairing?
Day 15 - What is your favorite real life pairing?
Day 16 - What is the absolute worst pairing?
Day 17 - A pairing you thought would never work out, but did?
Day 18 - What is the cutest pairing?
Day 19 - A pairing you've rooted for since the beginning?
Day 20 - The "can't stand the sexual tension anymore" pairing?
Day 21 - A pairing you like and no one else understands why?
Day 22 - A pairing you hate and no one else understands why?
Day 23 - A crazy love triangle/quadrilateral that worked out great?
Day 24 - A crazy love triangle/quadrilateral that worked out badly?
Day 25 - A pairing that was/would-be adorable, but could never work out?
Day 26 - A pairing that you hated and ended up loving?
Day 27 - A pairing that you loved and ended up hating?
Day 28 - A pairing that you will never understand?
Day 29 - What ship had the best proposal?
Day 30 - Your favorite ship forever and ever and ever?

Maybe they're asking for what sort of relationship you'd love to see portrayed, and haven't yet? I can see how it's confusing, unless this meme was trying to stay strictly to canon and then it asks what fanon pairing you'd like to be canon.

But somehow, I don't think it's asking that.


Also, I steer clear of actors' lives for the same reason. I do the same with singers and bands.

I agree! There are some people/actors who I'd like to see together, but I figure that's no different than me thinking people I personally know should get together. I can't really do anything more than that though - it just feels weird.

For dream pairing I used a ship that makes me happy all the time. It is a bit vague though. Day 30 is also giving me trouble - I have types that I always ship, which means I have several answers to that question.

This will be my answer to this meme too (I will start it soon!). I don't understand why people get so obsessed with real people. It's just creepy to me and I don't think most of them actually enjoy it (except maybe the true attention whores).

I try to avoid hearing too much about actors/singers/etc. I like because I just want to enjoy their art without having to picture them saying/doing something I find terrible (though some of them have some seriously interesting stories like Rose McGowan was brought up in an extremist Christian cult in Italy until she was nine).
