One thing about spending time on tumblr is that I now have definite NOTPs.
Burning Hate Winner
Hook/Emma. This is my number one most hated ship in all the land. If I could douse it in gas and torch it with a flamethrower, I would. The burning hate I have for this pairing is well beyond anything EVER.
Hook is your classic manpain prettyboy DOUCHEHOLE. Emma is in no way responsible to "fix" his slimy ass for any of the horrible things he's done (MURDER, ATTEMPTED MURDER, BEING A GENERAL SKEEVY PRICK). Just because he's "pretty," fandom fucking swoons over the asshole. (It's the Loki factor.) Ohhhhh but he's a poor wooooobie who just is misunderstood and neeeeeeeds love. FUCK THAT SO VERY MUCH.
*flips hair*
Anyway, I don't care who Emma winds up with (if anyone), just as long as it's not Hook. I would judge her writing and characterization so very much if she winds up with Hook. JUDGE JUDGEY JUDGE.
My very great rage of this is part of why I don't watch OUAT anymore. Fuck that show until Hook is gone.
DNW (and the Shippers are Weird) Winner
Sherlock/Molly. This one doesn't have the very great rage as above, basically because I like both the characters. Just not together. Now, I really liked them palling around in The Empty Hearse (for the most part - that whole "my type" thing was super awkward). But an actual romantic relationship is a horrible horrible idea that should never happen. The worst bit is that if it would for some reason happen on the show, it would be a super gross Moffatization of a relationship. THINK ABOUT THAT FOR A MINUTE.
NO, MOFFAT. YOU DO NOT NEED TO HAVE A FEMALE CHARACTER IN THERE WHO SWOONS OVER YOUR "UNREACHABLE" MALE LEAD TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE KNOWS HE'S NO HOMO. STOP WRITING THIS SAME STORY OVER AND OVER IN SHERLOCK AND DOCTOR WHO. IT'S REALLY GROSS.
My hypocritical nature on this all is that I do ship Sherlock/John. And the only explanation for this is: Male taking advantage of a woman and treating her like shit - cannot handle. Male taking advantage of a man and treating him like shit - eh. And just because Sherlock is now not as horrible to Molly as he once was does not mean that it's suddenly the basis for any sort of healthy or sane romantic relationship between the two of them. (Congrats! You're not as much of a dick as you could be! True love!)
The I Don't Care Winner
Every single ship in Harry Potter. After this past week's thing with JKR, I have been exposed to HP shipping. It's super clear that everyone has deeply ingrained head canons about all the characters, AND YOU DO NOT MESS WITH THAT. All I know is that Hermione is not some prize or something to validate Ron or Harry's existence. (Also lol Snape's pairings.)
The OMG HOW LONG IS IT UNTIL JUNE Winner
Those Fault in Our Stars people. I have seen them so many times now even with multiple tumblr savior key words. It sounds like this generation's "Are You There God, It's Me Margaret" only with less periods and more dying teenagers. DIE FASTER.
