you really got a hold on me.
Because I love talking about ships.
Yanked from irony_rocks
Six ships you are into right now:
01. Mulder/Scully (The X-Files)
02. Boomer/Helo (BSG)
03. Harry/Hermione (HP)
04. Barney/Robin (HIMYM)
05. Arthur/Ariadne (Inception)
06. George/Annie (Being Human)
Three ships you liked but don't like anymore:
07. Booth/Brennan (Bones)
08. Peter/Olivia (Fringe)
09. Finn/Rachel (Glee)
Four ships you never liked:
10. Mitchell/Annie (Being Human)
11. Jeff/Annie (Community)
12. Meredith/Derek (Grey's Anatomy)
13. Carly/Freddie (iCarly)
Two ships you're curious about but don't actually ship:
14. Abed/Annie (Community)
15. Jack/Liz (30 Rock)
Why do you dislike 11 [Jeff/Annie] so much?
I get why people ship it, but I personally feel like it does both of their characters a disservice. Ultimately, your goal as a character is to progress, and that ship just keeps them stagnant at best and makes them regress at worst. Jeff is a character who's emotionally manipulative and has a problem with not giving a fuck about that former fact, and Annie's just out of high school and she's naive and impressionable. There is no way that they could be in a ship where Annie would emerge from that unscathed. If anything, he'd just be more of an asshole.
Who is someone you know that ships 14 [Abed/Annie]?
Uh, no one that comes to mind off the top of my head.
What would be your ideal scenario for 3 [Harry/Hermione]?
EL OH EL AT THE FATES CONSPIRING FOR THIS QUESTION.
Welllllllllll. I would have to say that ideal scenario would be that the epilogue doesn't happen, Ron and Hermione date for a bit but find that they are unsuitable for stable long-lasting relationships, Hermione finishes her last year at Hogwarts, Harry goes to work for the Ministry, and Hermione does her own shit. She'd totally become the equivalent of a political activist and revolutionize things and occasionally kick Harry's ass into gear. I mean, this would all take place over approximately a decade because lololol the war and readjustment into regular civil society would mean that they would both run away and try to, you know, deal with things. And then probably come back in about eight years and realize that oh, hey, now that we are mature people who are still a bit cautious and worn and shell-shocked, let's try and make a life together because I don't see myself working~ with anyone else but you.
What is your favourite moment for 1 [Mulder/Scully]?
THIS IS A MEAN QUESTION.
NO SERIOUSLY.
Although actually probably the moment where he's crying in Redux II. You all know.
How long have you been following 6 [George/Annie]?
Since the pilot. Not the original pilot, but the pilot pilot.
What's the story with 8 [Peter/Olivia]? What made you stop liking/caring?
It really comes with me falling out of love with that show. Those writers treat Olivia Dunham like a plot device and it's heartbreaking and as much as I shipped it before, I realize that I shipped it because they're being pushed to be endgame and I'm told to ship it and they were fine and working for me. But they move too fast and I'm getting motion sickness so. No.
You have the power to make one ship nonexistent. Choose from 10 [Mitchell/Annie] or 12 [Meredith/Derek].
LOLOLOL MITCHELL/ANNIE FOR SURE.
Which ship do you prefer, 2 [Boomer/Helo] or 4 [Barney/Robin]?
OH GOD HEARTBREAK OF HEARTBREAKS
THIS IS LIKE CHOOSING BETWEEN CHILDREN
Barney/Robin. Those kids are so screwed up but they love each other.
What interests you about 15 [Jack/Liz]?
I ship them fine in fanon, but canonically, it doesn't click with me, and I'm not sure why. I should ship it but I don't. That's interesting to me.
Why did you stop liking 7 [Booth/Brennan]?
Because it stopped being a mutual ~we are going to help each other become better people thing to being ~Booth teaches Brennan how to become a functional human being. Firstly, it's pretty much a repackaging of the whole ~smart frigid bitches need to loosen up thing, which no. Nein, danke. Not buying what you're selling. Secondly, I don't understand why the change has to be all on her side. She's a logical, rational human being who has good points about some of the things that Booth does and Booth ... hasn't really changed at all. I understand having faith, like that I will grant you, but. Ugh, mess. Also, it's totally eating Brennan's character and they're sacrificing her upon the altar of the ship which is the fastest way to get me to hate anything ever.
Did your waning interest in 9 [Finn/Rachel] kill your interest in the show?
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL NO.
The show killed my interest in the show by being generally terrible about -isms, all the female characters I cared about who were not Rachel Berry or Quinn Fabray and thus were screwed over wrt characterization, solos, and screen time, and the continued existence of one William Douchebag Schuester.
What's a song that reminds you of 5 [Arthur/Ariadne]?
Just My Imagination by The Temptations
From a third-person POV, obvs.
If you could have any two of these pairings double date, who would it be?
LOL MULDER/SCULLY AND HARRY/HERMIONE NO QUESTION.
He's always running off and throwing himself into danger.
OH MY GOD, HIM TOO!
And I've always got to step in at the last second and save his ass.
Oh my god, me too!
I've spent my whole life fighting a war.
I've spent my whole life searching for the truth.
You wrote your senior thesis on Einstein's Twin Paradox? How interesting!
[more science talk]
My sister was taken from me. I have family issues.
People have died because of me. I have everyone issues.
I couldn't have gotten this far without her.
Me either.
I couldn't leave him to fight alone.
Me either.
I would hate to waitress that fun party of four.
Have 2 [Boomer/Helo] kissed yet?
No. And they will never.
Did 4 [Barney/Robin] have a happy ending? If the show hasn't ended yet, do you think a happy ending is likely?
No, they have not. AND DEAR GOD I HOPE SO.
What would make you start shipping 14 [Abed/Annie]?
Oh, god, I have no idea.
If only one could happen, which would you prefer, 2 [Boomer/Helo] or 6 [George/Annie]?
Good thing these are equally doomed so I can just perpetually exist in unhappiness.
Boomer/Helo.
You have the power to decide the fate of 10 [Mitchell/Annie]. What happens to them?
They break up and go back to being friends?
Which do you dislike the most?
Probably Booth/Brennan. It was close between them and J/A but. J/A isn't canonically endgame and B/B is. And B/B is even more squicky because Brennan's character has already been altered for it.
Which of these ships do you like the most?
Hands down, Harry/Hermione. I mean, I've thought about this a lot. As much as I love Mulder/Scully (and honestly they are really like 1.15 because I cannot honestly say that they are second place to H/Hr), they were endgame and perfect and H/Hr is kind of this aching chasm of emptiness in my soul that felt endgame and stretched out for about 10 years and then turned out to not be true. I'll ship them forever. The fact that they are doomed plus all the wank that went down in 2006 when Delusiongate happened and everyone associating H/Hr shippers with the devil just solidified everything. It was just like a walk the plank kind of situation. A ton of people jumped ship but I'm going to go down with this thing. I mean, I have. I'm the sailor that's sort of chained herself to the mast and now is just underwater, being pecked at by fish.
