shipping meme
Here's that shipping meme that's been going around.
Six ships you're into right now
1. Blair/Chuck - Gossip Girl
2. Barney/Robin - HIMYM
3. Mohinder/Sylar - Heroes
4. Matt/Julie - Friday Night Lights
5. Desmond/Penny - Lost
6. Nathan/Tracy - Heroes
Three ships you liked, but don’t like anymore
7. Dan/Serena - Gossip Girl
8. Derek/Meredith - Grey's Anatomy
9. Sayid/Shannon - Lost
Four ships you never liked
10. Jack/Kate - Lost
11. George/Izzie - Grey's Anatomy
12. Ted/Robin - HIMYM
13. Duncan/Veronica - Veronica Mars
Two ships you're curious about, but don’t actually ship
14. Sark/Sydney - Alias
15. Buffy/Faith - BtVS
Why do you dislike #11 so much? (George/Izzie)
Ugh, so many reasons. They're best friends, but do NOT work romantically. George was married. It came out of nowhere. I can't stand Izzie and she's only tolerable with Alex.
Who is someone you know that ships #14? (Sark/Syd)
According to her shipping meme, aurilly. Which I believe I knew already, but somehow forgot.
What would be your ideal scenario for couple #3? (Mohinder/Sylar)
Hmm, well I wanted them to team up and go against the Company, but since Mo is turning into a cockroach right now, IDK. I really want Sylar to find out about Mohinder shooting HRG and talking to him about it. Like "we have such and such in common" or Mohinder acting holier-than-thou and Sylar confronting him with that. Because Mo got understandably angry at Sylar for killing Chandra, but he shot HRG and would have killed him if not for the Magical Healing Blood. Okay, maybe that wouldn't necessarily be a shippy scenario, but I really want it to happen, and it's a lot more plausible than other things I could think of.
Which is your favorite moment for couple #1? (Blair/Chuck)
It's still the last few scenes of Victor/Victora - Blair dancing in the club and then them making out in the back of Chuck's limo:
How long have you been following couple #6? (Nathan/Tracy)
Well, Tracy has only been around in S3, so only since this season started. But I always liked Nathan/Niki as well, and even though Niki and Tracy aren't the same character, there's still a connection.
What's the story with #8? What made you stop liking them/caring? (Derek/Meredith)
I thought they were kinda cute in the first season, but then Addison came and my love for her overpowered any liking I could have for MerDer, especially since Derek was always such an ass to her (yes, somewhat understandably, but you can't agree to stay together and work on your marriage if you're not even going TRY because you're still hung up on Meredith). And I hate Derek now, and even though Meredith isn't my favorite character, both her and Addison deserve better than Derek.
You have the power to make one ship non existent. Choose from #10 or #12. (Jack/Kate or Ted/Robin)
Well, Ted/Robin is already done with, but even if it wasn't, JATE. ALWAYS JATE. I hate that couple so much, I can't even put it into words. And making that ship nonexistent would mean that there wouldn't be any delusional Jack/Jate fangirls who completely ignore everything that happens on the show and insist that "Jate is Fate", while simultaneously bashing Sawyer, Skate, and, interestingly enough, Kate. Maybe it's just me, but idg how you can like a pairing when you only like one of the characters in it and hate the other. And a disclaimer, I'm sure there are sane fans of Jate out there, but unfortunately the majority always are the most memorable.
Which ship do you prefer #2 or #4? (Barney/Robin or Matt/Julie)
Ahh, how can I decide between them? I guess I'd have to say Matt/Julie though, because they are sooo incredibly adorable, and Julie isn't annoying with him. They seem like a realistic teenage couple, and like most of the couples on FNL, didn't have to be awkwardly forced together to work.
What interests you about #15? (Buffy/Faith)
Well, they had great chemistry, and there's the whole "Good Slayer/Bad Slayer" aspect to their relationship.
Why did you stop liking #7? (Dan/Serena)
I thought they were quite adorable at first, and actually liked them for most of the first season, but as Dan grew more and more ridiculously judgmental, he just got so infuriating, and I stopped liking them so much.
Did your waning interest in #9 kill your interest in the show? (Sayid/Shannon)
Nah, not at all. tbh, the only reason I put them on the list is because I couldn't think of any other couple, and since Shannon died, it's hard to keep shipping them.
What’s a song that reminds you of #5? (Desmond/Penny)
Hmm, IDK. Maybe "Come What May" from Moulin Rouge?
If you could have any of these two pairings double-date, who would it be?
LOL, what a hard question. Maybe Desmond/Penny and Nathan/Tracy. Those are the two most relatively normal couples on my list, and with his time-traveling ability, Desmond could totally be a character on Heroes. ;)
Have #2 kissed yet? (Barney/Robin)
Yes! And it was awesome. What could be better than comforting followed by a Robin Sparkles music video and kissing?
Did #4 have a happy ending? If the show hasn't ended yet, do you think a happy ending is likely? (Matt/Julie)
Hmm, I think it's likely that they will have a happy ending. Matt and Julie aren't a couple at the moment, but they're becoming friends again, and at the very least they should still be friends when the show ends, which is enough for me.
What would make you start shipping #14? (Sark/Sydney)
Well, the show is already over, and I'm still shipping Sydney/Vaughn, so IDK. I'll read fanfic and stuff on occasion, but I doubt I would really start shipping them.
If only one could happen, which would you prefer, #2 or #6? (Barney/Robin or Nathan/Tracy)
Definitely Barney/Robin. I've shipped them for longer, there's no fear of one of them dying, and I have MUCH more faith in the writers to make them work. Who knows what's even going to be happening next week on Heroes, let alone in the future?
You have the power to decide the fate of #10. What happens to them? (Jack/Kate)
Well, I'd like Kate to stand up for herself, stop taking Jack's BS, and choose Sawyer, finally ending the horrible love triangle. That's just the short version though. ;)
Which do you dislike the most?
JATE. See my previous answer about why I want to make it nonexistant.
Which of these ships do you love the most?
Blair/Chuck and Mohinder/Sylar. Blair and Chuck because both together and separate, they are the only reasons I even watch Gossip Girl. They're both manipulative and scheming and work even better together. Not to mention their crazy chemistry.
Mohinder and Sylar because they are two of my favorite characters, and because I love their whole twisty, complicated connection and the fact that Mohinder is the only person Sylar seems to trust and think of as something more than just an available power. (And yes, I know lots of people have said that Sylar will immediately kill Mohinder if they ever meet again, since he has a power now, but I SERIOUSLY doubt it.)
