This is a great meme that I gacked from philcoulson over on tumblr and you should all do it, too. As was pointed out when it was making the round on tumblr, one thing that's notable about this meme is that it's all general questions - nothing about OTPs or romantic relationships. (Of course, because it's me, there's a touch of pairing talk anyway, because that's how I roll.)
(Psst,
qualapec, this was the meme I was talking about.)

Day 13 - Star Crossed OTP
Okay, that phrase “star-crossed” has a really bad rep, in my mind. It brings up images of drawn-out, mandated romances where the writers keep insisting that two people are totally in love and meant for each other while the audience is like… ummm, no.
So I had to struggle past that, and then try to figure out what ‘star-crossed’ even meant.
And then, this morning, I was intending to talk aboutAllison and Scott. He’s a werewolf, she’s the daughter of a family of hunters, it’s perfect. Only tonight's episode happened, and everything is sadness.
Day 14 - Childhood OTP (Before You Knew What Shipping Was)
Indiana Jones/Marianne Ravenwood. The fourth Indiana Jones movie got a lot of points in my book, simply for getting those two married.

I'm totally in the mood to talk about Lydia/Stiles, fyi.

Day 09 - Endgame OTP
( Lydia/Stiles )
Enjoy this answer, because it's the last specific, actually pairing-specific answer you're going to get this post.
Day 10 - NonCanon OTP
I swear to god, I could just throw out almost any pairing here because 65% of my pairings are noncanon or ambiguously canon.
Day 11 - Guilty Pleasure OTP
There's so many! Cassie Holmes/Nick Gant, Hannibal King/Abigail Whistler, The Middleman/Wendy Watson, Damian Wayne/Stephanie Brown, Haymitch/Katniss, Jennsen Rahl/Darken Rahl, Mr. Griffith/Olive to name a few. WEIRDLY, THOUGH, I don't think I feel really GUILTY about any of this, because...
Day 12 - Out Of Your Comfort Zone OTP
....fandom has completely decimated my sense of shame and appropriate relationships.
I mean, until I start shipping a pairing that involves two penises, I don't even know what would be out of my comfort zone.

ended up having several really long conversations with
qualapec today, the relevant (to fandom) portions of which involved:
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
- me bitching about the deep, inherent, not-even-solvable-by-casting-Idris-Elba script problems with Blade: Trinity
- who would you kill if you could kill one dude from Teen Wolf? (I voted Peter Hale, killed by Allison and Lydia)
- one thing I forgot to mention; besides the fact that I do not understand the point of a tumblr queue, I could never have a tumblr queue because I cannot think of a quip enough queue tag, unlike all the epic tumblrs with perfect and brilliant and referential queue I follow.
- various Teen Wolf ships, emphasis on Malia/Stiles and Lydia/Stiles and Allison/Isaac
- QUALAPEC BROUGHT MY ATTENTION TO THE FACT THAT SIF/LOKI IS A TWISTED KING & LIONHEART DYNAMIC AND I ALMOST DIED FROM THE SHEER AWESOMENESS OF THAT IMAGE.
- qualapec wondering if Loki fangirls will jump on the Bucky Barnes train. my thought is the Loki fangirls are either already on board the Bucky Barnes train and what we will see in fandom is an explosion of Steve/Bucky. The only question regarding Winter Soldier is how much hate Natasha and Sharon will get, and which one fandom is going to hate more. (Spoiler alert, it's going to be Sharon. Natasha will be relegated to being SO AWESOME but her relationship with Steve and/or Bucky is STRICTLY PLATONIC. Which is for the best, because Natasha is just TOO AWESOME TO BE DATING ~CAPTAINS AMERICA~ *eyeroll*)
- my deep and heartfelt lament that Steve/Bucky fanfic is almost invariably well-written and is the most tropperiffic fanfic to have ever been written in the history of fandom. In other news, there is no god.

Someone on my flist/dashboard was talking about a program they used to limit their time on tumblr, and I think I need to do that. Especially if it’s possible to set different time limits for different days. So if you know which program that is, let me know. The googling I did just showed me programs that just straight up blocked websites.
I was originally going to let myself have unlimited tumblr on the weekends, but let’s be real, Mondays and Tuesday are when I really need to gorge myself on tumblr, as the fact that I stayed up until four a.m. on monday night (totally responsible life choice) looking for people’s Teen Wolf graphics and reaction posts demonstrates

HOW FUCKING AMAZING WAS THAT EPISODE OF TEEN WOLF? AND FYI, IT NEEDS TO BE NEXT WEEK RIGHT FUCKING NOW.
I watched the most recent Teen Wolf a couple of days ago, Hands down, the best part of the episode was( Read more... )

I forget how much I ship Allison/Scott until I run across people exuberantly shipping contradicting pairings and them I'm like:

And like, for example, I tried SO HARD to like Isaac/Allison. So hard. And then I saw this post on tumblr today about how Kira and Scott would be drift-compatible and I swear, I literally saw red.

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).
( Read more... )
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?
( Read more... )
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.)
( Read more... )
catteo asked me: Top 5 OTPs of ALL TIME and why. Preferably with awesome gifs!
( Read more... )
hungrytiger11 asked me: Top Five Canon Ships that really shouldn't exist (let alone be canon):

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?
( Read more... )
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?
( Read more... )
ever_neutral asked: What about fave non-canon ship/s? SHOULD THEY HAVE BEEN CANON? Discuss.
( Read more... )
scorpiod1 asked me: Are there OT3s you are fond of?
