swim through the fires to stay in this world

I'm finally, finally starting to feel better, enough that I am going to answer some of the great ship questions I was asked about two weeks ago.

ladymercury_10 asked: How about Dick/Babs, and why you don't ship them in YJ (and who you ship them with instead, if applicable).

errant_shadows asked: What about your first ever ship? (Maybe something before you even knew what shipping was.)

Were they canon? OTP? Do you still ship them? Did you ever write fic for them? (<== links please, if it's online)

And what about the pairing appealed to your freshly fangirling heart?

phemyscira asked: Top five OTPs of 2013?

Any ship that you think you may be very excited about in 2014? (e.g. because of upcoming new instalments to a current fandom, fandoms you may be interested in, etc.)

topazera asked me: If you were suddenly put in charge of ouatiw, how would you handle Alice/Knave in canon? What would you do with Cyrus? Or alternatively, how would you rework things if you had the reins from the start?

qualapec asked me: Is there something you never expected to ship going into a piece of media (or were actively against ahead of time) but actually really enjoyed once you saw the canon?

ever_neutral asked: What about fave non-canon ship/s? SHOULD THEY HAVE BEEN CANON? Discuss.

gacked from portions_forfox:

I think I'm going to reprise a meme from ye ages past, because I'm bored and I like to make fandom-y lists and also, as the title would suggest, I like to ship.

(I'm going to be kind of throwing ships onto these lists, in an attempt to shake things up and maybe mention ships I don't often do. But don't worry, some of my old stand-bys are here.)

( ALL THE SHIPS. ALL OF THEM )


So, yeah, come talk to me about these ships.

phemyscira asked me about my top five movies, which I could have sworn I’d posted about before, but apparently not, as I can’t find the post. (They're in alphabetical order to make it easier of me.)

So, top five movies:

• Anastasia


• The Avengers


• Easy A


• Push


• The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (Swedish version)

[+] I have reached a heretofore unimagined level of adulthood; I now have matching crockery. Matching plates, matching bowl, matching appetizer plates, matching glasses, matching mugs.

[+] I have also followed latenightcuppa's lead, and had a friend change my tumblr password. It's been amazing tumblr, and I mean that truly. But I want to start writing again.

[+] However, prior to leaving tumblr, I noticed someone - no idea who, commenting about how Cutting Edge was one of their formative-as-fuck movies, so I watched that tonight with backtothesea a.k.a. the friend who locked me out of tumblr  (l lurve you too). It was, as promised, a deliciously '80's love story between an ice skating ice queen and the working class former hockey player. I feel that will either appeal to you or it won't. It had a very nice defrosting the ice queen arc and the male lead was delightfully doofy.

[+] This movie also got me thinking about what my formative-as-fuck movies are. Thus,



[1] Anastasia and [2] Star Wars both contain scrappy, snarky princesses who have romances with scoundrels. I mean... just go watch the movies if you haven't already. And if you have (and come on, you totally have) come talk to me about them in the comments. [3] Indiana Jones & The Raiders of the Lost Ark. The ONLY good thing I will say about the fourth movie is that it married Indiana and Marion. THE ONLY THING.
[4] Titanic (I don’t feel this one was as developmentally relevant as other movies, but I owed it and rewatched it often for several years, so it goes on here. [5] Labyrinth is a movie that I can literally use to trace my personal development. The first time I watched it I hated Sarah because she was too similar to me (to be clear, too similar to me at ten, not fifteen) and hated that she and Jareth didn’t end up together and didn’t understand why they hadn’t. The second time I watched it I understood that Sarah was growing and changing as a character, and that’s why she’s such a brat at the beginning, and why she couldn’t stay yes to Jared when he asks her to at the end. I also didn’t get how wonderfully, gloriously, hopeful the ending is. Think about what a great, progressive, positive message that Labyrinth ends on; that you do not ‘grow out’ of magic but can keep it with you.

Also, for those of you playing at home, yes, I have always shipped the inappropriate fierce young girl with the older, more emotionally open man. (I shipped Nick and Cassie from the trailer, people. The trailer. I remember watching the trailer and going ‘I don’t think they want me to ship hot older guy with inappropriately young multi-colored hair girl, but I totally am.’)
