VM season 3 and V/L musings
So... am I the only VM watcher on my list who isn't OMGOTP4EVA on Veronica/Logan?
I almost feel like I'm missing something, because everywhere I go it's "OMGYAY!" And, with the exception of the occasional mild "aw" moment, they just leave me... meh. Even when they were snarking and angsting while snogging ( Read more... )

Because it was angsty and intense and so pretty! (Those three things are harder to find in a pairing than you would think, btw.)
I also like where they're at now, actually trying to have a relationship, which they've never really done before. I'm sort of "meh" on Piz, but find him much more tolerable than Duncan. *nods**nods*
Buuuuttttttt, I don't really consider myself part of VM fandom. Which is very well and good, because I'm certain Lo/Ve shippers are batshit to the point of, uh... well, something very scary. *nods*

That was probably where I found them most interesting, too.

Hee. Yet somehow most of my ships do somehow involve all three of those (I'm such a masochist). Except maybe Harry/Luna, though that can have good angst too.
I simply don't get what's missing from V/L for me. It's the same thing with most of the canon Firefly ships, too - I get why people like them and why the characters are hot for each other, but the real hook for me? Just not there, like it was for, say, H/Hr or H/Lu.

Maybe you can only ship something that isn't canon? *g*

Angel/Cordy... *shudders* I think that's the one canon Jossverse ship that has made me want to throw things (though I couldn't stand Willow/Kennedy either). Simon/Kaylee never really clicked for me either, partly because I didn't much care for how she acted around him. I saw Serenity before I got hooked on the series itself, and though I already knew S/K was a big fandom pairing, when I saw it in the movie I was like "...um, where did that come

I like Simon/Inara. But I like all Inara ships! And I have a secret obsession with Inara/Jayne. Do not ask me to explain, for I cannot. *sheepish smile*

Ick! Willow/Kennedy! Agreed! Agreed!
At least Joss has admitted several times that he fucked up on Angel/Cordy, Buffy/Riley, and Willow/Kennedy. And while it doesn't necessarily make it *better*, at least I feel like he listens to his fans. Unlike some other creators.
. I saw Serenity before I got hooked on the series itself, and though I already knew S/K was a big fandom pairing, when I saw it in the movie I was like "...um, where did that come from?"Heeeeeeeh! I sort of had the same reaction to Inara/Mal when I saw the movie(and you know how I OTP M/I) because it had just been so damn long since I'd seen the series. Inara comes across as so useless and gratuitous in the movie. (I love Joss, but sometimes I ( ... )
