DPP: The Recovery Ships (or shipping, post-pilots)

[winegums]

In my entire life in fandom, there is no fictional couple that captured my heart as entirely as pilots did, and absolutely none that came even close to the kind of ruin and devastation they inflicted.

IDK, recovery ship? Hmmm, not really. I mean, I said this before - I tend to like at least one couple more than others in almost any series that I watch. YES, even in procedurals - color me crazy. But really shipping? Not so much.

Well, Trip/T'Pol in ST:Enterprise was ok for a while - they made me smile but in the end their ending was almost as bad as for the pilots - if not worse so.... no recovery there. And at least half of the time my couples end up by making me sad or angry or something because they make such a big deal out of normal stuff and... (yes, Andy and Sam I am looking at you).

And then, idk - I had my hopes for a while with Longmire but no joy there, not at all. But before, getting to the unavoidable Avengers part - I have hopes for Copper. The guy is cute and strange and troubled - all of the good things and Elizabeth is so cool that I can;t even express it.

So, Avengers - I will not mention who is to blame for that because in some manner half of my flist is. But there is one person.... who will remain unnamed for now.... who is majorly responsible for it. The sad part with it is that I don't have time to ship properly so :((((( But, I can read and think and stuff - like IDK, have strange dreams....

I'll stop here because you asked a simple question and I said like 5000 different things.

I know, I know. It's a shame im_ridiculous had to drag us down with her. thrace_adama and aurora_0811 also deserve honorable mentions. I don't know how we got caught up in this madness. No idea at all.

I don't know how we got caught up in this madness.

what makes is even stranger in my case is that I managed to avoid the whole Iron Man/Hulk/Thor thing for years. I just refused to go to cinema and watch the movies. And then this summer happened when instead of idk, plotting for my next paper I watched all the movies (including the whole Bourne series because... you know *sigh*), read fics and all of that.

p.s. you are using all these icons just to make me crazy... come on, admit it :)

[workerbee73]

Torture you?

[workerbee73]

With icons?

[workerbee73]

Why would I do that?

[anamarya]

Because you knew that I needed a good laugh and all the possible distractions before going back to work. THANK YOU!

[workerbee73]

LOL. Something like that. ;)

Here-- have one for the road (it's the most life-ruining one I've got. *g*)

[im_ridiculous]

Yeah... because I have allllllll kinds of brain-ruining clout around these here parts, and you are a total nobody.

Pft. Embrace the enablement, Patient Zero. Embrace. :p

Yeah, I have trouble getting to the level of obsession that I call shipping too, mostly it's just 'ok, these people are cute, but I will forget about them five minutes later'.

And very few of my other ships have satisfactory endings either (Jamie had to go and get shot on LOUK, hmph), though I have my fingers crossed when it comes to Downton Abbey - pilots-reminiscent people always seem to have a VERY rough time with love connections!

Jamie had to go and get shot on LOUK

You had to come and remind me of that! I mean, L&O is L&O and I'll watch it till I die (or it will end eventually) but Mattie :((((((((((((

[winegums]

I'm sorry bb :(

In my head LOUK ended with the episode before Deal, and Matt did hook up with Alesha at some future point (denial, I am good at it!)

ok, these people are cute, but I will forget about them five minutes later'.

oh yeah, exactly my feelings.
