Shipping meme responses part deux
Being Human
+ OTP: Mitchell/Annie/George
+ Runner-up: Mitchell/Annie
+ Honorable mention(s): George/Nina, Mitchell/Lauren
+ Crack pairing(s): Er. Mitchell/Josie past!fic? IDEK, she's a total plot device, but I liked her.
+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't: George/Mitchell. I don't know why, there's at LEAST as much subtext for them as there is for Mitchell/Annie, but I don't ship it.
Supernatural
...uh, I am so disconnected from fandom, no one ships like half of these, whatever
+ OTP: I quite seriously don't have one. :P
+ Runner-up: Dean/Cassie, Dean/Castiel, Dean/Jo
+ Honorable mention(s): Dean/Sam, Sam/Sarah, Sam/Jo, Dean/Ellen
+ Crack pairing(s): Sam/Lucifer, wtf they've been on screen together once and Lucifer wants to possess him in a literal way and not a good way. Also, wtf why is Lucifer on this show.
+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't: J2. I don't have anything against RPF, I just don't know anything about those boys except that I like looking at them. The RPF doesn't interest me in this case.
Dexter
+ OTP: Deb/Anton - they are SO CUTE.
+ Runner-up: Dexter/Doakes are so hatesexy I can't take it. Miss Doakes so much.
+ Honorable mention(s): Deb/Maria, Dexter/Miguel
+ Crack pairing(s): Dexter/Deb. I'M SORRY. It's not like I write or read fic for it even, I just ... I don't know. :P
+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't: Dexter/Rita, I suppose. They're boring.
Mad Men
+ OTP: Don/Betty. I think they're really compelling even though honestly, they probably shouldn't even be together. But I just like to watch them every week.
+ Runner-up: Don/Joan. I don't even know if I ship it sexually, but they bring ridiculous amounts of sex to every scene they're in, just by like SITTING THERE, so their scene in the hospital just about exploded my screen. They don't have to actually hook up and it's probably better that they don't/haven't. They just need to be on screen together all the time. Their interaction was indescribably great to watch.
+ Honorable mention(s): Pete/Ken for the lulz, and Peggy/Joan.
+ Crack pairing(s): Don/Peggy. It's so wrong, but I really think their chemistry is fantastic.
+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't: Pete/Peggy. I think Pete is funny, but I don't LIKE him, and Peggy is infinitely more awesome than he will ever be. I think he and Peggy together is a car crash.
SGA
+ OTP: John/Teyla, hands down. It's the brothers-in-arms(so to speak) thing again. But they are the perfect mix of sweet and dysfunctional because they're separately both fucked up in different ways and that presents obstacles; at the same time they understand each other, so they're surprisingly cohesive and healthy put together. As much as they can be. Plus Teyla can and wouldn't hesitate to kick his ass when he's being ridiculous.
+ Runner-up: John/Ronon/Rodney/Teyla. They love each other so much in endlessly fascinating ways.
+ Honorable mention(s): John/Ronon, John/Elizabeth, Rodney/Teyla, Ronon/Rodney, Teyla/Heightmeyer
+ Crack pairing(s): Hm. Rodney/Whale.
+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't: John/Rodney. I don't know! I see a beautiful friendship, so beautiful that I still read McShep fic occasionally just to see it, but I don't view it as sexual outside of the OT4. I feel like they should be with people who balance them out a little bit better. Together, they would never ever grow up. Which is charming in small doses but doesn't appeal to me in shippy ways. Am not explaining this right, but, yeah.
True Blood
+ OTP: Sam/Tara. I can't help shipping them. *headdesk* As long as they are both on the show, I will hold onto the vain hope that they will find their way back to each other. Once again with the dysfunctional pairings but I miss them, dammit.
+ Runner-up: Eric/Lafayette. I hold out hope for this one as well. So much potential from those first few eps of the season, man.
+ Honorable mention(s): Eric/Pam, Hoyt/Jessica, Sookie/Sam, Sookie/Tara
+ Crack pairing(s): Er. Not sure. Lafayette/Pam? In a non-sexual way in which there is bonding over shoes.
+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't: Eric/Sookie. I get it, but meh. I think I've just had too much Vampre Love Triangle Drama. And I LOVE Eric and Sookie individually. It's just, Eric's a jerk, and I love him that way, and I don't want to see Sookie bring out his inner woobie. Bored just thinking about it. Also I can't even imagine Sookie taking his crap for long without a brain transplant.
Firefly
+ OTP: Wash/Zoe - They are one of my all-time favorite canon pairings. So cute and hot at the same time.
+ Runner-up: Kaylee/Mal. I wouldn't ship them if she didn't look at him with quite as many stars in her eyes.
+ Honorable mention(s): Mal/Inara (so pretty), Simon/Kaylee, River/Mal, Kaylee/Inara (this is probably close to a runner-up actually, I mean, the hair brushing alone)
+ Crack pairing(s): Zoe/Mal. I put this in crack because it's so wrong and I LOVE Wash/Zoe, but I really like Mal and Zoe's dynamic. Maybe for past!fic.
+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't: I...don't know what everyone ships, I'm not really in the fandom. But I'm surprised I don't slash any guys in this fandom, or ship Jayne with anyone. Though now I think about it, Jayne/Simon have a nice antagonistic vibe, so.
+ OTP: Mitchell/Annie/George
+ Runner-up: Mitchell/Annie
+ Honorable mention(s): George/Nina, Mitchell/Lauren
+ Crack pairing(s): Er. Mitchell/Josie past!fic? IDEK, she's a total plot device, but I liked her.
