While I'm still here...

Do ya think it's strange I don't ship real life ships? Only animated ones? Gah, for some reason I just find it strange to go the other way.

1.) Why do you dislike #11 so much? (Jack/Elizabeth)

IAside from the fact that Will/Elizabeth is so very clearly the OTP and Jack and Elizabeth would kill each other inside a month? Elizabeth is, in essence, a female, better bred and educated version of Jack who's convinced she has a stronger moral center.

It's ironic that I think that Johnny Depp x Any female from Pirates is hot. Yet I don't "root" for this pairing, so that doesn't make me a shipper. Jack/Eliz reminds me of one of those "forbidden relationship" couples, and that automatically attracts my enthusiasm.

The thing about Jack is that, teah, he could have chemistry with anyone but honestly, youjust can't actually SHIP him with anyone because you know it'd never last. The man is married to his ship and the sea...there's no room for anything but flings in his life.

;_____; did you just ignore my first question? i wanted some constructive opinions.

You can't deny that Knightely's character is a tease/flirt. I mean c'mon now...she's just certainly not batting Jack away(there's a word for that, I know it! *tries to remember it*). Haha, obviously Jack/Whoever wouldn't last. Though "Elizabeth" is a wild one, her colonial upbringing is not emphasized well.

Didn't ignore...just got sidetracked because it was time to head for work and forgot. If I were to guess, maybe it feels like you're shipping the actors instead of the characters? In animated, illustrated and prose fiction, they're components of others, but not a solid "person" while in live action, it's a person pretending to be someone else, so maybe shipping LA characters just feels like you're shipping two people playing a game or something? It's hard for me to say as I don't have any problems with that myself(obviously) so it's hard to say. I wouldn't say it's strange...people are drawn to certain kinds of ships, and medium is a kind of ship just as much as character type ( ... )

Now that I've thought about it...I'm probably a big enough shipper of Hyde/Jackie (That 70s) but that's as far as I'd go for live actions series. It's a comedy show, but they were a cute couple. I don't really know about taking LA seriously, for some reason...I've believed that animated ships have more of a chance to happen/continue. It's more about controlling the situation: animators pull all the strings, directors can't force chemistry between actors. When there is chemistry...who knows what'll happen next?

I can't help but mold both the actor and the character together when it comes to a live action series. It just feels weird otherwise; I can't ignore one side of a character and pretend they're not someone else entirely different. *yawn* man, I'm tired XD
(Elizabeth: they keywords are feels no shame about [doing] it. Hmm...doesn't hold back much does she?)
