pairings meme

[branquignole]

Pairings meme stolen from Isi. This was exceedingly difficult, mostly because I do a lot of flailing and then forget about one pairing because I'm flailing so much about the other WHICH DOESN'T MEAN I DON'T LOVE IT ANYMORE. Most of these are just pairings I've loved steadily for a long, long time, or my favourite pairings atm; pretty sure some got lost inbetween. I suck at this. (Oh, warning for a possible Revenge spoiler in the DIAF pairings.)


top 10 pairings overall

1. Arthur/Eames (Inception) ALWAYS
2. Bruce Banner/Tony Stark (Avengers) I think. I haven't really read any Avengers fic yet but I REALLY NEED TO.
3. Draco/Ginny (Harry Potter)
4. Ivy/Derek (Smash)
5. Jack/Nolan (Revenge) because seriously, come on
6. Jaime/Brienne (ASOIAF)
7. Jane/Lisbon (The Mentalist)
8. Mark/Eduardo (The Social Network) THE PAIIIIN IT NEVER GOES AWAY
9. Sherlock/John (BBC Sherlock)
10. Tom/Hal (Being Human)

top 5 love triangles and/or threesomes

1. Daenerys/Khal Drogo/Jorah/Daario (ASOIAF) :D? Where Daenerys is concerned omnishipping really comes in handy.
2. Katniss/Gale/Peeta (The Hunger Games)
3. Mae/Alan/Nick (The Demon's Lexicon)
4. Neal/Peter/Elizabeth (White Collar)
5. Vivenna/Denth/Vasher (Warbreaker) this isn't even actually a love triangle but whatever SO MANY FEELINGS

1. Alan/Sin (The Demon's Lexicon) HELL YEAH
2. Amy/Rory (Doctor Who) asfk;kdsfjh I just love them so much 
3. Belle/Rumpelstiltskin (Once Upon A Time)
4. Cho/Summer (The Mentalist)
5. Kurt/Blaine (Glee)

top 5 "not my absolute favourite but I like them a lot" pairings

1. Brittany/Santana (Glee)
2. Hawkeye/Black Widow (Avengers) I need a movie about just these two.
3. Ron/Hermione (Harry Potter) I always thought they were meant to be. One of the first things I shipped tbh.
4. Tom/Sam (Smash)
5. Yusuf/Ariadne (Inception) so much love for them as a secondary pairing *___*

top 5 "makes no sense but I LOVE IT" pairings

1. Mozzie/Elizabeth (White Collar) I don't even know, you guys. I just like the idea of it.
2. Nolan/EVERYONE (Revenge) HE WAS MADE TO MAKE OUT WITH EVERYBODY ON THIS SHOW
3. Puck/Kurt (Glee) there was a time when I really shipped this, before Blaine.
4. Sansa/The Hound (ASOIAF) THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITES OKAY THEY COULD HAVE SAVED EACH OTHER I'M BIG ON PEOPLE SAVING EACH OTHER
5. Snape/Tonks (Harry Potter) IDK I used to have a lot of feelings about them TOTALLY MAKES SENSE

top 5 "I just don't feel it" pairings

1. Annie/Mitchell (Being Human) he's a bitch and a liar and a killer and she is entirely too good for him
2. Emma/Regina (Once Upon A Time)
3. Frodo/Samwise Gamgee (Lord of the Rings) noooo
4. Sherlock/Irene (BBC Sherlock) just doesn't work for me; she's supposed to be a lesbian dominatrix and Sherlock's Sherlock so... no.
5. The Doctor/anyone except River or the TARDIS (Doctor Who) because he's still an asexual alien okay; except for when it comes to River and the TARDIS. THEY'RE HIS GIRLS.

top 5 DIAF pairings

1. Derek/Karen (Smash) omg I hate this pairing so much HE FUCKING TRIED TO SEXUALLY COERCE HER IN EP1
2. Finn/Rachel (Glee) noone is interested ffs
3. Harry/Hermione (Harry Potter) I do not understand, how can this ship even exist
4. Jack/Amanda (Revenge) just pisses me off big time; IT'S JUST SO STUPID HE JUST LOVES HER BECAUSE HE THINKS SHE'S SOMEONE ELSE
5. Sherlock/Moriarty (BBC Sherlock) I honestly hate this pairing, I HONESTLY DO

honourable mentions

1. Buzz Lightyear/Jessie (Toy Story) I KNOW OKAY I KNOW :D 
2. Elend/Vin (Mistborn Trilogy) 
3. Harry/Draco (Harry Potter) MY FIRST EVER SLASH PAIRING. THIS IS HOW IT ALL BEGAN.
4. Ned/Chuck (Pushing Daisies) sigh
5. Tom/Lynette (Desperate Housewives) because married couples are the best

omg I've probably left out tons of pairings I love I FEEL BAD ABOUT PICKING SOME OF MY BABIES OVER OTHERS

*points at icon re: Doctor Who* ROMANA. Just sayin'. But anyone other than Romana/River/the TARDIS, I'm with you.

(I don't think I even need to mention my feelings with regards to Mentalist!shipping. I'm a little bit obvious, I know :p)

Oh and I tried to ship Regina/Emma, because people on my flist do. But yeah, it didn't happen and now I just sit and scratch my head over it. I also need to start watching OUAT again, yes.

[branquignole.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen any of the classic Doctor Who so I wouldn't know about that, but wikipedia informs me she's a Time Lady so I guess that could be cool? But still. I really didn't ship him with ANYONE except the TARDIS before River came along. (And before that when everybody was talking about River/the Doctor I was like, just not happening.)

I think The Mentalist is very good to shippers. *___*

Yeah, I know what you mean. I saw the appeal in the beginning but I really don't think they have a lot of chemistry ship-wise.

[tromana.livejournal.com]

Ahhh. Well that explains that. Yeah, Romana is all kinds of awesome. I probably ship her more with the Doctor than I do River.

It is! <3

Agreed!

[eternal-vows.livejournal.com]

Bruce/Tony! So many fics are Steve/Tony, and I see the chemistry, I do, sort of ... but the science boyfriends geeking out are so adorable, and Bruce's timidity when he speaks! <3

(And ditto on Sherlock/Moriarty, because what the fuck. Seriously. Moriarty is creepy in so many ways; I mean, if that guy came up to me, I'd slam him in the face with a pot, because there is something so... grating, wrong about him... Sherlock clearly deserves some jumper love from John; I think that's the only way he'd recover / reach out to other people.)

[branquignole.livejournal.com]

I know, science boyfriends are the best. <3 They've quickly become one of my OTPs, mostly because I have a lot of love for Bruce. *___*

(Moriarty is a fucking psychopath, that's my main issue with this ship - or any other ship involving him, for that matter. Don't get me wrong, I think Sherlock is fabulously messed up too but IDK I don't really ship him in a 'I want a committed relationship with admissions of love and lots of cuteness' way anyway. He does have relationships though - his friendship with John, with Mrs Hudson, those are at least kind of normal. But shipping Moriarty with anyone - to me - is just wrong on so many levels. BECAUSE HE'S A FUCKING PSYCHOPATH. THE END.)

Ha ha, fun. I was just thinking I wanted to watch Inception again...

[branquignole.livejournal.com]

My true love, forever and ever, and my first real fandom after Harry Potter. Crazy.

[altogetherisi.livejournal.com]

TONY/BRUCE YES. I need to read more fic for them tooo tbh almost all the Avengers fic I have read so far has had Loki in it. But I love them so so much *snuggles* They are so perfect for each other. SCIENCE!

Urgh I am so conflicted about Jaime/Brienne. I have all these feelings about how Jaime and Brienne relate to each other and stuff and how I want them to be together always or whatever but I don't think I want them to have sex or get married? I think I just majorly friend-ship them? Is that a thing? I JUST WANT THEM TO BE PLATONIC LIFE PARTNERS.

AND SANSA/HOUND. I am also conflicted here, because I found their canon really compelling and yes, ok, sorta sexy but a) there are some REALLY OBNOXIOUS SHIPPERS that make me not want to be at all associated with them and b) I am really devoted to my desire for Sansa to have a happy ending, complete with happy, loving marriage and lots of comfort, wealth and respect, and being with The Hound can't bring her that. But I think they have been really important to each other, and I wouldn't mind them meeting again in the future.

Are you saying you like Mae/Alan/Nick as a threesome or as a love triangle? I am confused! But kinda, delightfully so. Omnishipping TDL series was so much fun oh my gosh, I hope Unspoken brings similar joy.

NOLAN MY NEWEST DARLING. I just want him to find a hot guy to love him and make him happy, he is so alooooone D: D: D:

I read LOADS of Puck/Kurt during season 1 of Glee. And then Karofsky/Kurt was kinda a similar deal I suppose... Haha Finchel can get lost, urgh. NOBODY CARES.

LOL Mozzie/Elizabeth. Can't ship them but I do love their friendship. They should like, go to art galleries and drink wine together and gossip while Neal and Peter are having sex I mean, at work. Um.

I stopped watching Desperate Housewives a while ago, but I loved Tom and Lynette's marriage. It felt authentic.

[branquignole.livejournal.com]

OTP: SCIENCE BOYFRIENDS. I seriously don't know what to do with all of my feelings for them. I'm finally trying to catch up on my fic reading but I'm pretty sure I will fail right out of it again soon... :/

I KNOW. I totally understand your feelings on Jaime/Brienne BECAUSE THEY ARE ALSO MY FEELINGS. Mostly when I say I ship a pairing it doesn't necessarily entail that I want them to have hot sex all over the place (though for some pairings that is very nice, mmh), it just means that I want them to be together and be awesome together or maybe even just ACKNOWLEDGING THEIR CRAZY LOVE FOR EACH OTHER.

Yeah, I don't really see this as an endgame ship because obviously Sansa needs someone who is nice and kind and not totally fucked up. I always felt that they kind of got each other, you know? That's what I mean when I say they could have saved each other - I think less things would have gone wrong if they'd held each other or something idk this is a very tame ship in my mind. THEY JUST SNUGGLE AWKWARDLY AND TELL EACH OTHER THAT IT'S GOING TO BE OKAY AND THEN THE HOUND GOES OFF AND KILLS MORE PEOPLE FOR HER. (Also I didn't know where to fit in Arya/Gendry but it's just further proof that I like to ship my Stark girls with big guys who will protect them.)

lol I didn't really make that clear, did I? xD Sorry. I realised later on that the way I listed the love triangles looked a lot like they were threesomes. Actually, this is a list of love triangles (or polygons, in Daenerys' case? :D), apart from Neal/Peter/Elizabeth obviously. Though I don't mind TDL threesomes at all. Or moresomes really. Actually, now that I'm thinking about it... LET'S SAY I MEANT THAT AS A THREESOME Y/Y? (I can't waiiiit for Unspoken to come out akjd,lsajd)

NOLAN REALLY IS VERY ALONE HE NEEDS SOMEONE TO HAVE HOT GAY SEX WITH WHO WILL ALSO SNUGGLE HIM AND HIT HIM OVER THE HEAD AND LAUGH AT HIS STUPID JOKES. I NEED THAT.

In my head, Puck/Kurt is actually kind of common. Puck becomes super protective at him, and the way he looks at him... especially during... Regionals? Sectionals? when he's with the Warblers PUCK'S FACE JUST KILLS ME.

Haha, I love their friendship which probably is where this came from. I obviously don't ever want this to happen in canon and I can't really picture it as anything else than a crack pairing but I kinda do have a lot of feelings about it anyway.

Me too but Tomy and Lynette were always my favourite. <3 Things I've heard about their relationship in the final season actually make me glad I didn't have to see that IT WOULD HAVE RUINED EVERYTHING.

(Seems like we do have more in common shipping-wise than I thought we did! :D)
