Blather and a Trek Meme
I generally listen to the French/Classical radio station early in the morning and late at night. This morning I discovered that, while the classical is beautiful around seven o'clock, as soon as you hit eight, they start playing upbeat get-your-day-going annoyances. :/ I left work late this morning, and I didn't have a classical tape in my glovebox. :( I do not like upbeat drum/tambourine heavy music so early, and especially after a long night.
I also went a little crazy and attacked the stereo last night after we heard 'Chasing Waterfalls' or whatever the eff that song is, for the third time (since 7pm). It should be known that the late night tape they play at the beginning of the week (Mon-Wed) is full of feel good music from the 80s, 90s and 00s, while (Thurs/Fri) they play a shitty mix tape of the popular chart hits. Eff. That.
Yes, I know the mixes for late night radio stations. Whatevs.
STAR TREK PAIRING MEME
Six ships you're into right now
1. Enterprise! Kirk/McCoy
2. McCoy/Almost Anyone D:
3. Sulu/Chekov
4. Chekov/Scotty
5. Spock/Kirk
6. Kirk/Enterprise/Scotty :D
Three ships you liked, but don't like anymore
7. Kirk/Janeway
8. Neelix/Kes
9. Picard/Janeway
Three ships you never liked
10. Scotty/Enterprise (There needs to be the Kirk element, I'm sorry.)
11. Janeway/Chakotay
12. Doctor/Seven of Nine
Two ships you're curious about, but don't actually ship
13. Kirk/Sulu OR Sulu/McCoy
14. Spock/Uhura
Why do you dislike #11 so much? Janeway/Chakotay
It's not that I don't like them,
Who is someone you know that ships #14? Spock/Uhura
Like, actively ships them? I have no idea. This is probably why I'm only in the 'hm, that's kinda interesting' phase.
What would be your ideal scenario for couple #3? Sulu/Chekov
OMG. THESE TWO. I love Academy fic with them, OR where Sulu's trying to be a fucking gentleman, but Chekov just wants a fuck. XD; Oh god, I also love where Sulu's all bundled up against the cold, and there's Chekov smoking cigarettes beside him (not even in a coat), or Sulu's the smoker, or Chekov's a top, or a bottom-on-top, and anything with Sulu saying 'fuck' - I DON'T KNOW WHY. I love anything with them being complete nerds, or talking navigation/piloting, or eating together, or making lists, or formulas for things that don't need formulas... ♥ SO MUCH LOVE FOR THESE TWO. THERE IS NO IDEAL.
Which is your favorite moment for couple #1? Kirk/McCoy
From the new movie - running down the hallway "We have to keep your heart rate down!" or when they're all being placed on active duty except Kirk, and Bones has to leave without him. :( But then doesn't, because he "couldn't leave [him] there looking all pathetic". ♥ From the other movies - McCoy being a sexy fucker after the Kobayashi Maru simulation ends, or Kirk tricking McCoy back into service, or McCoy wandering onto the bridge in the first movie FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON except to make sure that Kirk's not being a dumbfuck. SERIOUSLY, WHY. ....I also like McCoy being all 'get your fucking ship back and get the fuck out in space' and 'here's some glasses' 'D: but why?' 'because you're allergic to the contacts I usually recommend?' 'oh, right'. <--- Especially love that, because it seems like a LAME gift at first, but then you find out Bones was being all considerate and awesome. ♥ People always post 'oh McCoy was so awesome in that', but HE'S AWESOME ALL THE TIME. FUCKKK.
I HAVE NOTHING FROM TOS, AS I HAVE NOT YET MADE MY WAY THROUGH THE EPISODES.
How long have you been following couple #6? Kirk/Enterprise/Scotty
Ahahahahahahahahahahaha. Oh man. I don't even know what the hell is with this...threesome thing. It just exists.
What's the story with #8? What made you stop liking them/caring? Neelix/Kes
Gargh, Neelix just really annoys me, and it got to an unbearable point after so many episodes. He also had that crazy protective/possessive thing going on (well, it wasn't crazy, per say) and that sort of quirk really gets me grumpy when it's all In Your Face and obnoxious. :/
You have the power to make one ship non existent. Choose from #10 or #12 Scotty/Enterprise OR Doctor/Seven of Nine
Well, by default, it has to be Doctor/Seven of Nine, because the love of Scotty/Enterprise cannot, I repeat CANNOT be struck from the universe. It would create a continuum tear in the warp core, causing an overflow of irradiated overcharged ions. This would detract from intersubspace frequencies, causing an inertial-dampener split, wherein an alternate universe would appear in the shadow of the Orion moons. Clearly.
Which ship do you prefer #2 or #4? McCoy/Anyone OR Chekov/Scotty
NO CONTEST. The presence of McCoy in a ship autosets the Sexy and Kickassery settings to maximum. If I ever come across an elegant, believable McCoy/Sulu, it would blow my fucking mind.
What interests you about #14? Spock/Uhura
I honestly don't know. It was sort of sweet in the movie, but I'm starting to think that's just because it was really startling to see Spock so tender and soft. I don't know.
Why did you stop liking #7?
Kirk and Janeway come from two entirely different sectors of Fucking Awesome. In the right situation, they would be fantastic together, but ultimately, their kickassery is best delivered apart.
Did your waning interest in #9 kill your interest in the show? Picard/Janeway
Uh. XD Actually, I don't think they met in the show? I remember Janeway reading Picard's captain's logs (or it was Kirk's- I don't remember), and I think they might have met in one of the novels, but. Hm. I don't know. I just started losing interest because there wasn't really much chance for them to be together? I don't know anymore.
What’s a song that reminds you of #5? Spock/Kirk
She Blinded me with Science - Thomas Dolby :D (Spock would be the one blinded, IMO)
If you could have any of these two pairings double-date, who would it be?
Kirk/Sulu and Enterprise/Scotty. That would - wait, that's pretty much just any old day on the ship, isn't it?
Have #2 kissed yet? McCoy/Anyone
I HOPE SO, THAT'S A LOT OF VAGUE PAIRING.
Did #4 have a happy ending? If the show hasn't ended yet, do you think a happy ending is likely? Chekov/Scotty
Um, they're not really canon. So, SURE THEY DID. :B
What would make you start shipping #13? Kirk/Sulu OR Sulu/McCoy
Oh man, not a lot. XD I just haven't read a lot of Kirk/Sulu, and NO Sulu/McCoy - seriously, though. Sulu and McCoy are my favourites and the both of them together would probably break my brain in all the wonderful, best ways possible. I just haven't seen fandom do it. :/
If only one could happen, which would you prefer, #2 or #6? McCoy/Anyone or Kirk/Enterprise/Scotty
XD; Well, the second one has to happen. BUT BONES NEEDS LOVE TOO. :(
You have the power to decide the fate of #10. What happens to them?
For once, instead of Scotty giving her all she's got, the Enterprise is giving him all he's got. WHATEVER THAT MAY MEAN so fucking tired right now
Which do you dislike the most?
The only pairing that I don't really enjoy on the list is Doctor/Seven of Nine. It was awkward. :S
Which of these ships do you love the most?
Do NOT make me choose. Or I will grab McCoy, Sulu and Scotty, and run for the hills. T_T I wouldn't need to grab Kirk, because he'll always find Bones, and I wouldn't need to grab Chekov, because he'll navigate his way to Sulu and I wouldn't need to grab Spock, because he's faster than I am, and would be there waiting. Rationalizing!
