13. Sam/Jess [SPN]
14. Jon Stewart/Stephen Colbert [HEHEHEHEHE]
1. Why don't you like 11?
They’re brothers. I know that these two have turned a lot of non-incest readers into on-incest readers AND WRITERS, and I know the ~subtext~ between them is prominent. I love them, and I love their relationship, but I don’t want or need it to be a sexual thing. I don’t feel like that kind of intimacy is necessary, but I do not begrudge people who do. At all. It’s just, my preference.
2. Do you know anybody who ships 13?
I’m sure there’s a few people on my flist who are pro-Sam/Jess but I don’t remember anyone fangirling over them? If you do, by all means, come and tell me. I … I’m not sure what it is about Sam/Jess. I think I pine for that life, for Sam, and whilst we didn’t know Jess all that well we’ve grown to see that he really was happy with her. It wasn’t just about finding normal, it was about finding the perfect girl and having that ripped from him. He could never escape. There’s so much angst there.
3. What would be your ideal circumstances for couple 3?
SPOILER WARNING
…
Cedric/Laurent pretty much got their ideal circumstances. Laurent finally came out to his parents and his parents asked him to give them time to digest it all. I suppose I’d hope that his parents would finally come to accept it, and they had Cedric over for barbecues, and then they adopted children, and then Cedric made some crazy Agronomic discovery so they had lots of money and then they fucked and fucked and lived happily ever after :D Seriously, these boys turn me into cotton candy. I just want their life together to be good, and to survive. I love them hardcore.
4. What's your favorite episode/scene of 1?
Oh man, I shouldn’t have put them first, Megsy, you’ve already done this. I’ll think of some different things. Uh, Period of Adjustment when they have that big ass fight and then BJ says ‘you now what I did today, I hit the best friend I ever had’. Or, in one of the eps with the orphans and Hawkeye’s playing with a kid and you can see BJ in the background watching and smiling. Or when BJ’s telling the story of Androclese and Hawkeye’s all, keep going. Or, or when BJ’s arm gets hurt by the autoclave and Hawkeye hands the case over to the doctor he doesn’t like ‘cause he knows he’ll do a better job. And BJ’s all, I’ve still got one good hand!
OMG OTP GUISE.
5. Since when do you ship couple 6?
Uh, since Deathly Hallows when Luna and Dean were paired off together, and Dean was all ‘she’s a weirdo but she’s a good sort’ and Luna’s all, ‘Dean, let’s go find some Jupiter Gigolos!’ or whatever, and I thought it was all rather cute. Plus, I like that Dean’s Muggle-born and Luna’s the bizarrest kind of witch and just. Imagine some of the conversations they would have.
6. Why did you stop shipping couple 8? [Ewan/Hayden]
Uh, I shipped Ewan/Hayden back when Revenge of the Sith was released [as some of you did, too] because I thought they were both hot, and they were very flirtatious with each other [though Ewan flirts with everyone]. I look back fondly on fandom then, but the pairing doesn’t mean anything to me anymore. It was mostly shallow reasons that I got into them, and it was more about Ewan and writing Ewan In Love than about the two of them together. If that makes ANY sense.
7. You have the power so that one couple doesn't exist. Pick either 10 or 12.
Hawkeye/Margaret, hands down. I mean, B/J was canon, so at least it had grounds in reality. I mean, often I hear anti-slash people say why must you turn a platonic relationship between men into something more, why can’t men be friends yada yada yada, but I never see those people say the same about het ships. LIKE THIS ONE. Or JJ/Reid. I mean, it wasn’t even a healthy platonic relationship, between Hawkeye/Margaret. He only respected her when he felt like it, and she only ever deemed him fuckable when she was wallowing over her other misfortunes. I DON’T GET IT.
8. What do you prefer, 2 or 4?
aaaha. Jared/Jensen. For those of you who have been living in a bomb shelter, Jared and Jensen have enough chemistry to … like, make those WOMD that everyone wants to get their hands on. They’re just, insanely perfect for each other I can’t handle it. It was funny,
paradise_city said something in passing, about how Sam/Dean was a way for people to ship Jared/Jensen without getting into RPS [I’d be interested to know who agrees with this?]. Which surprised me because a) I, personally, thought incest would be more of an issue and b) Jared/Jensen was the reason why I’m into SPN. SO, there you go. They’re just, inimitable.
9. What interests you about 14?
Jon/Stephen. Well, there’s that famous banana-eating scene, amirite? Plus they’re two of the greatest American minds, they represent the kind of Americans that I love, who care about their country, the impact it has and the direction it is going in. They’re free-wheeling with their love, they kiss lots, and they’d be totally doing it if they weren’t mostlystraight. I just don’t see the show much, and I hear the fic is pretty bad, so I don’t so much ‘ship’ them as I do enjoy hearing about megsy’s dad expressing his opinions on their relationship.
10. When did you stop liking 7?
Uh, that’s a good question. I’m … it’s Ron/Draco. Perhaps, as I’ve gotten older and my fandoms have changed I’ve come to realise that subtext does exist, and perhaps when two people claim to hate each other they really do hate each other and aren’t secretly making-plans-to-meet-up-later with their sharp dagger eyes, you know?
11. When you lost interest for 9, did you lose interest in the canon?
Um, the opposite? I think? If I’m understanding the Q properly. JP/Craig WAS canon until Craig decided he couldn’t be openly gay and took off to Dublin without JP and that was the end of that. Then JP ended up fooling around with a priest or something crazy and, it all just petered off. It’s not so much that I don’t ~like~ the pairing, they had their moments, it’s just that when it ended in canon it ended for me. SO there you go.
12. What is a song that reminds you of 5?
The Maker Makes, by Rufus Wainwright. Or,
Throw Your Arms Around Me by Hunters and Collectors [we may never meet again, so shed your skin and lets get started]
13. Which ship do you like the most?
I’ll have to copy Megs and say BJ/Hawkeye. It’s closely, closely followed by Jared/Jensen though - for a lot of the same reasons. They’re best friends first. Best, best friends. The same way BJ and Hawkeye were the only two people for each other in Korea, Jared and/or Jensen have often been quoted for saying that it’s mostly just the two of them on set. I mean, you’d see the best and worst in people day in and day out and to survive that? Jesus. I’ve never had that. I’ve never met that person. It’s a beautiful thing.
14. Which one do you like the least?
Hawkeye/Margaret. ~*~ONCE LOVERS, ALWAYS SOULMATES~*~
15. If you could make two of these couples have a double date, which two would you choose?
Jared/Jensen and Cedric/Laurent. Haha, it’s weird filling this thing out with RPS pairings because ~every now and then~ it occurs to me they’re really guys. ANYWAY, yeah. Due to their ages, and their personalities, and their sense of humour, I think they would get along really well. Even if there is a language barrier. JESUS, IMAGINE JENSEN GETTING FRENCH LESSONS. Jared would want to know how to cuss in French, or how to tell Jensen’s he’s beautiful so Jensen doesn’t understand. Heeeeee, that would be a great double date.
16. Has the second couple kissed yet?
Reid/Morgan. Haha, I’m afraid not. I’ve made them do it a few times, but no. Reid/Morgan will never be canon.
17. Did 4 have a happy ending? If the canon isn't over, do you think it will end well?
Jared/Jensen. Haha. Um. I’d like to think their ‘canon’ isn’t over.
18. What would make you start shipping 13?
Uh, I don’t know. If we begin to see more of Jess, somehow, in SPN. Some of Sam’s Stanford years. I do like the pairing, and I would read Sam/Jess if it was recced to me and it was, interesting. It just falls behind all my other main pairings, that’s all.
19. If only one could happen, which one would you choose: 2 or 6?
Oh, man. I’ll have to say Reid/Morgan ‘cause it’s visual. Haha. I’m such a hornbag.
20. You have the power to choose the fate of 10. What would happen to them?
Uh … what did happen to Brian and Justin. Did they stay together? I’d like Brian to learn form his experiences with Justin and move on to someone older and less whiny, and with a little edge. I just … for me, Justin was always mediocre. They tried to spruce him up and make him a ~bad boy~ at one stage and it just didn’t work. It was like, you’re fucking Brian Kinney, grow some balls. I’m sorry to any Justin fans, he just didn’t agree with me.
After much deliberation I've decided I'd like to sleep with Jensen Ackles. This picture may or may not have helped tip the vote:
love to you all ♥
