Ship Meme: Day 07
Day 7, and I'm kinda enjoying being around LJ more regularly, and also talking about fandom more often! Definitely glad I decided to do this meme. Today's question was a little easier - well, given that I'm trying to use different couples for most answers. I often get teary during emotional scenes between pairs I ship, but I can only think of a few that have been really gutwrenching and provoked a completely hysterical breakdown.
Day 01: What is your current favourite ship?
Day 02: What was your very first ship?
Day 03: A pairing that needs to happen now?
Day 04: The pairing with the most chemistry?
Day 05: The pairing with the least chemistry?
Day 06: The best kiss?
Day 07: The most heartbreaking scene?
Day 08: The pairing with the most baggage?
Day 09: The most believable relationship?
Day 10: Why aren't these two married in real life?
Day 11: What is your dream pairing?
Day 12: Who had the best wedding?
Day 13: What is your favourite television pairing?
Day 14: What is your favourite book pairing?
Day 15: What is your favourite real life pairing?
Day 16: What is the absolute worst pairing?
Day 17: A pairing you thought would never work out, but did?
Day 18: What is the cutest pairing?
Day 19: A pairing you've rooted for since the beginning?
Day 20: The "can't stand the sexual tension anymore" pairing?
Day 21: A pairing you like and no one else understands why?
Day 22: A pairing you hate and no one else understands why?
Day 23: A crazy love triangle/quadrilateral that worked out great?
Day 24: A crazy love triangle/quadrilateral that worked out badly?
Day 25: A pairing that was/would-be adorable, but could never work out?
Day 26: A pairing that you hated and ended up loving?
Day 27: A pairing that you loved and ended up hating?
Day 28: A pairing that you will never understand?
Day 29: What ship had the best proposal?
Day 30: Your favourite ship forever and ever and ever?
Most recently, that happened during my epic marathon of Battlestar Galactica. And **spoiler warning** if you haven't watched it and want to avoid finding out what happened, I'd avert your eyes now. I basically cried my way through the entire finale episode, but I think I actually had to pause it and try and get a grip during that last Roslin and Adama scene. That ship absolutely suckerpunched me. I have a weakness for the 'older' ships in most shows - give me a cast of pretty young things, and you can guarantee I'll be shipping their parents ;) So they were pretty much made to order for me. I loved the slow development of their relationship - first from suspicion to respect and friendship, and then to a really powerful love. The writers and actors didn't overplay it, and we didn't even get many traditionally shippy moments until near the end, but it still added up to one of the most loving and heartfelt relationships I've ever seen on any tv show. So Laura's death just broke me in pieces. And when he put that ring on her finger? Utterly destroyed.
Truly truly epic. Just looking at those screencaps to make that made me well up. I'm not sure if I can handle a rewatch yet, but I am planning to do so eventually.
ETA: Today is Castle premiere today - yeeee!! I might not be able to watch it until Wednesday night, but I'm looking forward to this like you wouldn't want to believe. Yay for returning tv shows :D
