And the Last of the Shipping Meme is...
Day 21: Favorite opposites attract couple
Zuko/Katara (Avatar: The Last Airbender)
They are literally fire versus water.
Day 22: Saddest unrequited love - Okay. This is a tie.
Peeta Mellark/Katniss Everdeen (The Hunger Games)
Because, damn, this boy goes through the ringer, and still he stays in love with the girl who gives him a cold shoulder. Yikes! At least we know he gets the girl at the end. A war must happen, many deaths are suffered, but at least that is some consolation for two broken people. He gets the girl.
Stiles Stilinski/Lydia Martin (Teen Wolf)
This is one of the most frustrating ships because he knows how smart and brilliant she is, even though she pretends to be less than what she is to pump up the ego of other guys. He lets her do whatever she wants, and take whatever she wants from him and he never asks for more. He'll never love anyone because he will always be in love with her, ever since he got to know her in third grade. And he has no hope that anything will ever happen between them, which is worse. Jeff Davis better make this happen. Just saying.
Day 23: Couple you only shipped after a long time
Draco Malfoy/Hermione Granger (Harry Potter)
I never understood the novelty until I read one brilliant fanfic. It was all downhill from there. I was a believer. :D
Day 24: Couple you like, but is overshadowed by another couple in a fandom
Lydia Martin/Stiles Stilinski (Teen Wolf)
This is my OTP for the fandom. Seriously. I love it to bits. But, there are hardly any exchanges or fests because they are all dominated by...
Stiles Stilinski/Derek Hale
Oh well.
Day 25: Most popular couple in your favorite fandom (do you ship it too?)
I can't pick a favourite fandom, and I'm not so sure how to judge the most popular couple, so shall we assume...No? I like my doomed ships.
Day 26: Best historical couple
Henry Tudor/Anne Boleyn (The Tudors)
For obvious chemistry reasons.
Day 27: Another couple you shipped a long time ago
Justin Russo/Alex Russo (Wizards of Waverly Place)
Yes, it's incest and no, I only blame the insane chemistry of the actors.
Day 28: A couple you shipped not nearly as long as you thought you would
Jackson Avery/April Kepner (Grey's Anatomy)
Didn't last as long as I thought it would. Hm. At least they are together now. Yay!
Day 29: Favorite ‘birds of a feather flock together’ couple
Jim Halpert/Pam Beasley (The Office)
This pairing was so perfectly done.
Day 30: Couple you will still ship a few years from now
I honestly have no idea. My shipping preferences keep changing. However, considering that Jeff Davis had this to say about Season 4...
Thanks, Jeff! Thanks so very much for bringing in someone else to keep them at bay. Looks like I'll be shipping Stiles/Lydia forever. It took her 1 season to notice that he even existed, right?
Then another season where she finally stopped dismissing him? Then another season before she started seeing him as her equal and her friend?
What's another few more years seasons of watching them date other people? *Groan*
This is the slowest slow burning relationship ever! Ugh!
