hyena_galSix ships you are into right now:
(defining 'into' as 'recently read fic about' and/or have been demanding brain space)
01. Emily/Paige (Pretty Little Liars)
02. Shizuru/Natsuki (Mai-HiME/Otome)
03. Santana/Brittany (Glee)
04. Juri/Kozue (Revolutionary Girl Utena)
05. Rachel/Quinn (Glee)
06. Morgana/Morgause (Merlin)
Three ships you liked but don't like anymore:
(Uhm... this one was kind of hard, so. A bit of randimosity?)
07. Tea/Betty (Skins US)
08. Quinn/Mercedes (Glee)
09. Cook/Effy (Skins)
Four ships you never liked:
10. Olivia/Peter (Fringe)
11. Sookie/Eric (True Blood)
12. Rachel/Finn (Glee)
13. Xander/Anya (BtVS)
Two ships you're curious about but don't actually ship:
(never say never when it comes to shipping...)
14. Spencer/Emily (Pretty Little Liars)
15. Eric/Alcide (True Blood)
Why do you dislike 11 (Sookie/Eric) so much?
Well, I don't dislike them as much as I don't see the... appeal? I guess people just log them together, because they find Bill a bore or something? Personally, I find that Eric works best in homosocial contexts -- it's something ingrained in him, being from the time he is, having more to do with other men, etc., etc. Bottom line: I don't see any chemistry between Sookie/Eric, and I'd prefer seeing Sookie on her own in any case, so...
Who is someone you know that ships 14 (Spencer/Emily)?
I don't want to say I know that the person ships them, but maybe she could be interested?![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
immortality? :D?
What would be your ideal scenario for 3 (Santana/Brittany)?
*clears throat*
*taps microphone*
"Ryan Murphy! Ryan Murphy and all you other Glee writers! Please don't goddamn *backpedal* when it comes to a ship, kthnx!"
So, what I guess my ideal scenario concerning these two girls would be: GO BACK TO MAKING THEM CANON, GLEE WRITERS, THANKYOUVERYMUCH, INSTEAD OF SWEEPING THEIR RELATIONSHIP UNDER THE CARPET AS THOUGH IT MEANT NOTHING!
What is your favourite moment for 1 (Emily/Paige)?
The kiss in the car. Absolutely. But then again, I kind of really loved the confrontation between them too, because all it translated to in my head was Paige being all, like: "Hai, Emily, hai, you know what? Just so you know, you're not that great a swimmer, and everybody knows you liek to stroke breasts, and oh my god is your hair pretty! Can I touch it?" Needless to say, I kind of loved that scene. Honestly, I've liked all their scenes together this far -- only question is whether the pairing will survive. *crosses fingers*
How long have you been following 6 (Morgana/Morgause)?
Hand on my heart -- the first time Morgause took that helmet off, and Morgana looked both startled and slightly intrigued with this woman in armour who just challenged Arthur to a duel in front of the entire court. Ever since that scene I've never looked back. Not even when we found out they were sisters...
What's the story with 8 (Quinn/Mercedes)? What made you stop liking/caring?
You mean despite the fact that their friendship grew pretty nonexistent after a couple of episodes a while back? Hmm. I guess I started with finding it interesting and was hoping they would take the relationship in a fun direction, but alas. It was not to be. And since the writers didn't seem to care about them, then I sort of ended up not caring either.
You have the power to make one ship nonexistent. Choose from 10 (Olivia/Peter) or 12 (Rachel/Finn).
I think I'll have to go with Olivia/Peter on this one, seeing as all romantic relationships feel more or less completely *random* on Glee, as opposed to forced as the one on Fringe comes across as being.
Which ship do you prefer, 2 (Shizuru/Natsuki) or 4 (Juri/Kozue)?
No fair, I love them both! They both provide me with different types of entertainment -- but, alright, if I *have* to choose... my answer will have to be Shizuru/Natsuki. At least they actually interact with each other in their anime. The other two only have one scene out of all the episodes.
What interests you about 15 (Eric/Alcide)?
Lol, okay, to be totally fair, I just want to read ridiculous fic where Eric makes Alcide run all kinds of idiotic errands in order to pay for his debt. Also, I just want True Blood vampire/werewolf fic, the difference between them, what it means to be this different in the 'verse they are in, etc., etc.
Why did you stop liking 7 (Tea/Betty)?
Uhm... between the actress playing Betty just not conveying any kind of emotion (I'm sorry, but it's *true*) and Tea feeling this need to sleep with Tony (which I would understand if he had any kind of *charisma*)...
They just sort of lost me along the way, the writers. I'm sorry.
Did your waning interest in 9 (Cook/Effy) kill your interest in the show?
Nope, not in any way. I tuned in for the Naomily, which I loved quite a lot. Personally, I thought Cook/Freddie made more sense as a pairing, to be perfectly honest...
What's a song that reminds you of 5 (Rachel/Quinn)?
A lot of songs! That's kind of the point with this pairing, isn't it? But here, have a more... unorthodox choice: This Mortal Coil - Come Here My Love. And here is the quite brilliant Faberry fanvid which inspired the choice.
If you could have any two of these pairings double date, who would it be?
Rachel/Quinn and Santana/Brittany, because it'd make most sense. Breadstix, here they come!
Have 2 (Shizuru/Natsuki) kissed yet?
Yes, they have. Two times, actually. Or... well, I guess the first one didn't really count. And maybe the second one was kind of... not really a 'kiss' kiss, but that's what we fans are here for: to make sure they get to kiss each other a whole bunch more in fic form! :D
Did 4 (Juri/Kozue) have a happy ending? If the show hasn't ended yet, do you think a happy ending is likely?
All signs point towards this being one of those trainwreck sort of relationships, so, no. Very much no that they'd ever end up having a happy ending with each other.
What would make you start shipping 14 (Spencer/Emily)?
... I guess Paige would have to be a no-show? But if that were the case -- then, yep, I'd try to look for ways to log these two together. :P
If only one could happen, which would you prefer, 2 (Shizuru/Natsuki) or 6 (Morgana/Morgause)?
Well, for all people who own eyes that can see, you really can't disagree with Morgana/Morgause being pretty canon, simply in the way they've been presented to us in the show -- they're sisters and they obviously care for each other. All in all I'm pretty happy with how their relationship was shown throughout S2. That's why I'm going to say Shizuru/Natsuki -- I'd give my right arm for Sunrise to just come out and say: "Of course these two ended up together post-anime! What are you, dumb?!"
You have the power to decide the fate of 10 (Olivia/Peter). What happens to them?
*rubs hands together*
They end up being platonic friends. That's all. Friends. We find out the entire pregnancy thing was another drug-induced hallucination playing out inside Walter's mind. Olivia pairs up with Astrid and Peter... finds himself some other woman or something?
Anyways, the endgame isn't Olivia/Peter. The End.
Which do you dislike the most?
Olivia/Peter. Again, it feels as though the romance is being sort of forced on us and that we're all actually *supposed* to buy into it.
Which of these ships do you like the most?
:O I can't answer that. I like them all, hence my nominations. I refuse to answer!

Date: 2011-03-07 10:42 pm (UTC)... they're sort of inviting it themselves, aren't they? All that homosocial interaction. :P
