Couples 30 Day Meme. :D 10/30
Day 01: What is your favorite current ship?
Itachi Uchiha x Kurenai Yuuhi
I know, I know. Get the hell over it, Lily. It's obscure and nobody but you likes it. I love everything about it. Especially because in terms of their romantic back stories, they are both just so obscure. What I do know, I can work within the bounds there of very happily. Also they really are just so fucking beautiful to me. Purely, because with both of them, I just see so much damn tragedy. They are both resigned to it as well. Itachi to his clan, Kurenai to her what she sees as failure. Not even for them to having sex and all the rest, but I can see them in such a platonic way with each other. Loving each other in that way creates something so much more powerful, to me at least. Also because I seem to be the only person that ships it, it has NO WANK. <3
Day 02: What was your very first ship?
>.>
Alanna of Trebond x George Cooper
Oh dear lord, it was my first fanfiction writing as well. God, it was bad. But I adored them, I adored Alanna, she was imperfect, mean at the best of times, down right cruel at others. She knew it, and she moved past it, and did what needed to be done. And George is George~ He knew, and he just didn't care, from the get go. He was fair, and he saw her value for what and who she was, he wasn't threatened by her in any way out-manly-ing him. Also, he was the first person she wasn't actually afraid to show herself too, all of her. He also just didn't assume about her, he kissed her and then firmly said he was waiting. Despite everything. That to me is love. <3
Day 03 - A pairing that needs to happen now?
Naruto Uzumaki x Sakura Haruno x Sasuke Uchiha
NOT ENOUGH WORDS FOR HOW MUCH I WISH THIS WOULD JUST HAPPEN. The complications of this ship are incredible, all three of them have chemistry (yes, EVEN SasukexSakura). This is the only way it would work because a) Sakura IS the jealous type and it would fuck with their team work so much if just Naruto and Sasuke hooked up. And ITS LIKE THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS SERIES, IS TEAM WORK. b) She is too weak to Sasuke, by himself he would ruin her, she needs Naruto to bounce her back. c) Also Naruto is the only one she is willing to fake some aspect of herself to -- not even for her own good, but for his. That takes some fucking courage d) In a base way, Sasuke needs kids and Sakura is the only female that he seems to have any gratitude towards, or trust enough to let her get close enough, the only one that can snap him out of it. e) Naruto is the only one he isn't scared to show, or reveal to, how he is feeling f) It's clearly obvious how much Naruto loves them both, he wouldn't be able to choose. g) Sakura is all his soft laughter and Sasuke is all his hard ambition.
In short: WOULD THEY JUST HAVE SEX ALREADY.
Day 04 - The pairing with the most chemistry?
Sai x Sakura Haruno
Because, because. ERG. He is the only one that gets her to act with any strength of character any more. She is the only one he tries to have emotions around. 'Nuff said. If there was a better basing of a relationship, I do not know what it is. They balance each other, he is strong when she isn't. She can feel when he doesn't know the words for it.
Day 05 - The pairing with the least chemistry?
... This goes against everything historical but...
Cleopatra (Ptolemy) the VII x Marc Antony (HBO's Rome)
This is so freaking LOADED, because this is historical fact as one of the great lover affairs of EVER. However in this interpretation of history... It's not because OMFGILOVEATIA, which I do. But as far as it is concerned, Atia is such a fucking bitch, with Antony she got exactly what she deserved, there is no denying it. She provoked Cleopatra in the end, and Cleopatra wasn't a woman who would take that. But as to Antony and Cleopatra themselves? Too much power. Which isn't to say power stops people from loving each other, or does in this series because I am quiet certain Servilla loved Caesar as much as she hated him in the end. I think Caesar loved her back, in his own way. But with these two? Especially Cleopatra They were far far too manipulative in the end to give in to each other completely. You see it most with Cleo, right from the get go, because true honor doesn't matter, she knows what she has, and she will goddamn use it. She said it straight away with her first 'meeting' with Antony "If I must prostitute myself for my country and my people, I will" That for me summed up all her intentions. She would do what she had to, details came later. For Antony, I believe it was a little bit more sincere, but in the end, he had no where else to go and the best means/place into provoking Octavian into War. They struck me as the least sincere 'lovers' of all the shows characters. They were doing what everyone in this show did and used each other, but there was little to no love lost. In my opinion >.>
Day 06 - The best kiss?
Romeo x Juliet (The Baz Luhrmann version)
Romeo: If I profane with my unworthiest hand this holy shrine, the gentle sin is this. My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand to smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.
Juliet: Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much, which mannerly devotion shows in this. For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch, and palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.
Romeo: Have not saints lips, and holy palmers, too?
Juliet: Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer.
Romeo: Well, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do. They pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair.
Juliet: Saints do not move, though grant for prayers' sake.
Romeo: Then move not, while my prayer's effect I take.
[They kiss]
Romeo: Thus from my lips, by thine, my sin is purged.
Juliet: Then have my lips the sin that they have took?
Romeo: Sin from my lips? O trespass sweetly urged! Give me my sin again.
[they kiss again]
Juliet: You kiss by the book.
Oh god, oh god I knowwwww. So many people hate this version, I loved it. Its fast and brutal and ugly and makes it what it really isn't but is in the end. I hate this play as well, but I loved everything about this scene. I adored it a hundred times over, god. It's so... pure. Because though you don't realize it, they are both just so damn young. But this version of it, it just breaks my heart, the lines around it, the ducking in and out of elevators, the goddamn fish take. But ultimately the line "Give me my sin again" when they have no idea. Also and forever my favorite kiss of any movie, or play, or book or whatever. *is shot for being CLICHE*
Day 07 - The most heartbreaking scene?
SPOILER FOR THE BARTIMEUS TRILOGY~
The end between Kitty and Nathenial, when they both know, he isn't coming back. That they love each other, though they will never get to say it. They had both given up so much~ They need each other so much. <3 I can't say much else, just that everyone should really see this series.
The close second is the end of the Spook's Apprentice, where Ellie tells him he can't stay at night anymore. That he more or less, can't actually really come back, because he does the Spook's work, and he realizes no one will actually want to be close anymore.
Alternately to, when Sam says the "because there was hope in those stories" speech.
Day 08 - The pairing with the most baggage?
Naruto Uzumaki x Gaara no Sabuku
It's... a pairing I avoid, because it is so baggage filled, however is one of my only legit yaoi ships. I can see this happening because well, Naruto is the only one that could actually get to Gaara, at all. Ever. Naruto is probably one of the only people Gaara TRUSTS, and at some point they probably made out, in a 'hey I wander what this feels like' kind of way. Boys growing up and all that. But the baggage is what I love MOOOOOST but is HORRIBLE when its not written right. 'Cause Gaara is the child of hate, hate and more hate, with no reprieve. Naruto got a reprieve, just barely. When its done right, like it is oddly done in the show, its marvelous wonderful pairing, when its not: OHSHOOTMEPLEASE.
Day 09 - The most believable relationship?
Marcus Agrippa x Octavia of the Julii (HBO's Rome)
I always felt that this was the most truthful and sincere of all the relationships on this show. They were just so fucking adorkable. They felt like a old married couple within two minutes of being around each other. Only Octavia is seriously heartbroken and Agrippa is just so enchanted and humble. <333
