Tumblr is good for memes sometimes.
I liked my answer to this one ("Put a pairing my ask box and I'll tell you the following") and didn't want it to get lost forever on my dash.
Skwisgaar/Toki
1. When or if I started shipping them:
First episode, in the foods libraries when Skwisgaar put tampons in Toki’s cart, Toki called him a lady, and Skwisgaar yelled that no he wasn’t. I think they both secretly want each other to be a lady, so it wouldn't be "weird" if they made out.
2. What I think their challenge is:
Skwisgaar is a narcissistic ladykiller, and Toki is kind of whiney and kind of useless and kind of violent. They usually put up with each other but they end up bickering a lot, and I feel that because they are both insecure (in different ways) they would each have trouble believing that the other really does care for him underneath the annoyance (and so on) they both cause each other. Toki has all those groupies to compete with and Skwisgaar has candy and videogames and other crap to be better than. And Skwisgaar might never take the idea of Toki becoming better at guitar than he is calmly. And Toki will always want to be important, like the lead guitarist.
3. What makes me happy about them:
That Skwisgaar would commit to, if not outright monogamy, then at the very least being in love with only Toki. That Toki would calm down and be lovingly responsible for the guitar god he’s with. (And probably still be kind of whiney and useless, but at least he'd be a slightly more mature whiney and useless.)
4. What makes me sad about them:
They both want so badly to be loved because it’s never happened before.
5. What moment I wish had never happened:
I wish Toki hadn’t been so forceful about taking Skwisgaar’s place during Fatherklok. Being enthusiastic about what basically amounts to a promotion is one thing, but not caring about the fact that one of your bandmates just completely dropped out of your life is cold, dude.
6. Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other:
Eh. If I had to break up my OTPs… Nathan would be a good calming influence on Toki too, I think. He’s a steady guy, and wouldn’t put up with any shit or back down if an argument came to blows.
I don’t even know who else I would pair Skwisgaar with. Maybe Murderface, because Murderface always seems to get left out. I don't know.
7. My happily ever after for them:
They don’t die unless it’s together, and then they play guitar in Valhalla forever.
If anyone wants to ask me another pairing for this meme, go right ahead. :P
