If you haven't seen it,
Thor 2 trailer.
(masterlist of prompts)(past answers)Day 13: The ship you love for the way they hurt each other.Irina Derevko and Jack Bristow.
Okay, I'll admit, if we're tallying up who hurt who more, Irina is probably going to win by a mile. That said, Jack did shoot that doppleganger he truly thought was her, that one time.
Day 14: The ship you love for the angst, banishing all joy and sunlight.Lila and Cassel, the Curse Workers series. I was actually just thinking about way that I could get more people to read this series (the first book is White Cat by Holly Black). Fandom would love the book series and this relationship. It has:
- a badass lady
- the snarky, self-loathing guy who loves her ridiculously
- dubious consent treated like the serious thing it is while also being fucking romantic as fuck
- the girl
- trying to 'get over' her feelings for the guy by having sex with someone else
- the guy thinking he is a complete monster and still struggling to make the most moral choices he can, despite his fucked up ethics.
(Oh, also, the main character? I'm 99% sure he's black.)
(Also, side rant: the first two original covers for this series are AWESOME and I still haven't bought the third book because
LITERALLY NO ONE sells the awesome third cover, they just have the terrible rebooted cover. So I'm going to wait and hope they reboot the covers again so I can find one that sucks
less than these.)
Day 15: The couple that are at their moral worst when around each other.I had the hardest time coming up with a good answer for this. The thing is, I don't tend to ship bad guy/good guy pairings, so I don't have examples of couples who get together and go on a crime spree. The closest answers I have are Zuko and Katara and Jeff and Annie for the exact same reason. Excuse me while I talk about one of my favorite tropes:
Something that sets my shipper sense tingling is when a female character is comfortable enough with a male character that she doesn't need to be "good" around him. He is the person who is going to go with her on a roadtrip of revenge. He is the person she is going to behave like a selfish adult around.
Basically, when a female character is so comfortable with a male character that she shows him her darkest, unglies parts and his reaction is, 'let me start the car,' I'm hooked.
(Does that make sense?)
