Day 09 - The most believable relationship?

The Prince/Elika again, because FUCK I can't think of anything else that meets that kind of vague concept.

Day 10 - Why aren't these two married in real life?

Helen/Deneve (Claymore)



 God, I love these two.  Okay, technically they're not really a 'couple' because really, the Claymores are pretty asexual for the most part.  But goddamn, more than any other pair these two act like an old married couple. XD  They're always balancing each other out-- Helen's boisterousness with Deneve's dryness, the former's FUCK YEAR LET'S KILL SHIT WOOOOOO attitude with the latter's MAYBE WE SHOULD WAIT LIKE FIVE SECONDS YES-- but they've been together long enough that there's alot of unspoken trust and loyalty between them.

If they were real (or at least not doomed to living as half-monster-things), they'd totally be sharing more than an apartment ;)

Day 11 - What is your dream pairing?

Jack/Female Shepard (Mass Effect)



(You know what, finding relevant art for half this update's pairings is a PAIN IN THE ASS so let's just say Miranda there is MODDED FEMSHEP.  YEAH LET'S GO WITH THAT)
Bioware, I like you guys quite a bit, and especially "Mass Effect."  I like that I can save the universe as the Baddest Lady In The Galaxy.  I like the story and the characters and yeah, I even liked Liara a bit.  And I like that fucking Scott Evil is my personal driver.

But for fuck's sakes, let me pair her up with Jack.  FOR THE LOVE OF GOD I SWEAR I WILL NEVER ASK FOR ANYTHING AGAIN.  Especially since oh you know SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AN OPTION FOR FEM!SHEP IN THE FIRST PLACE.

I have to wonder if there's some bizarre form of self-satisfied pseudo gender 'commentary' on the fact that the toughest, butch-est lady in the goddamn universe (who damn also does the shaved head its best favor since Natalie Portman sported it in "V for Vendetta")... is only a Het!Romance option, but considering Jack is canonically bisexual, it seems like more  of a gigantic cheat than anything else.

They even recorded a surprising amount of each romance for same-sex pairings too, but of course all this was scrapped when they decided that Mass Effect was too popular with a lucrative mainstream market narratively focused for something as insane as fluid sexuality in the goddamn 25th century, though sex with bizarre alien lifeforms is perfectly okay as long as they're either straight or there's a complete bullshit evasive explanation that makes them not-really-gay-and-therefore-acceptable.

Alot of people don't like Jack because 'she's not relatable/deep' (because Space!Dirty Harry, Crying Lizardman, Edward Cullen, Russkie Germaphobe and Jessica Rabbit are FAR MORE REALISTIC CHARACTERS), but I personally would be overjoyed with a lesbian romance option that'd be something other than 'Schoolgirl' or 'Wilting Flower."  Though vicious amoral bitches are admittedly a weakness of mine ♥

(Hell Bioware, I'd even be happy with a platonic continued relationship.  It's pretty fucking annoying to go up to characters I'd at least like to get to know a little better and get shut off because the only other way they'll converse is if you're elegible to get in their pants :P)
