1)MY FIRST SHIP WAS : SEISHIROU SAKURAZUKA/SUBARU SUMERGI (TOKYO BABYLON & X 1999)
So, because I know most people don’t know much about them, here a little okay, very, very long explanation about their story !!!
Seishirou Sakurazuka & Subaru Sumeragi are powerful Japanese psychics, born in two of the most ancient & strong family of psychic in Japan, the Sakurazuka, a family of assassins (one unique assassin in fact, named Sakurazukamori), and the Sumeragi, a family of exorcists.
Seishirou Sakurazuka is the Sakurazukamori & Subaru Sumeragi is the most powerful psychic & future leader of his family. Subaru have emerald green eyes, but we don't know why (we know nothing about his parents -mother or father- and he grow up with his japanese grand mother).
Few things you really need to know about the Sakurazukamori :
-The have no emotions, basically, they’re sociopath.
-The ceremony to pass the Sakurazukamori’s power to the next Sakurazukamori consist in killing the previous Sakurazukamori : Seishirou, for example, killed his mother when he was fourteen, becoming the new Sakurazukamori.
-They can only really fall in love one person in their life.
-They can only be killed by the person they love (and yes, Seishirou killed his mother, do the maths!).
-They put the bodies of their victims under Sakura trees.
-They usually kill by throwing their arm through the body & the heart of their victims.
So, about my ship now!
At fourteen, Seishirou met a six years old Subaru under a Sakura tree, when he was about the put the body of his newest victims, a little girl, under it. Subaru, who is the polar opposite of Seishirou (very empathic, sensible, only care about other & never about himself), is of course shocked by what he saw, but still caution & interest in Seishirou.
Seishirou can feel the great power in Subaru, and is interest in the fact that someone so fragile & sensible hold so much power. It’s the first time in his life he took an interest in another human being so he decided to put his mark on Subaru’s hand, so he could find him anywhere in the future (usually, those mark are for those he is going to kill).
He also made a (pretty unfair) bet with Subaru : when he will be older, Seishirou will give Subaru one years to make him really feel something about him. If, at the end of this year, Seishirou still can’t feel anything, he will kill Subaru. But then (and yeah, that’s cheating) he erase Subaru memories of their meeting & of the deal, before disappearing.
They met for the second time (we know about) years later! Subaru is now sixteen, and Seishirou is twenty-five. They met in a train station. Seishirou know it’s Subaru right away, but Subaru as no memories of their first meeting. Seishirou started a game, not telling about his psychic abilities, hiding them, being a gentle, well mannered veterinary, acting like a lovesick puppy around Subaru who was really embarrass by it, while is twin sister, Hokuto, tried to put them together.
Hokuto was also a psychic, but much weaker than her brother (she only sense others psychics & can go in people dreams… without always controlling it). She was a fashion addict, loving to flirt, to have fun… not like her shy twin.
She was also a better judge of character than Subaru and while she always played nice & supportive with Seishirou, she didn’t trust him, a knew something was off. But she wanted her brother to have something for himself for once in his life, and knew that he loved Seishirou even if he was unable to show it. Subaru was someone totally pure, unable to hurt, or lie to anyone, unable to shield for other even to protect himself, who basically wore his heart in his sleeve & the weight on the world on his shoulders because of all his powers.
At the end of the year, Seishirou shield Subaru with his body when a woman mad with despair attacked him, losing his right eyes in the process. For the first time, Subaru showed that he love Seishirou, being unreasonable about the whole thing. Then Seishirou, proving that he is also really good at lying to himself too, decided that he didn’t fall in love with Subaru, and tried to kill him.
He failed, Subaru grandmother -the leader of the family- broke his spell before Seishirou could kill her grandchildren, nearly killing herself in the process. But even if he is alive, Seishirou “killed” Subaru by breaking his heart : he gave him back the memories of their first meeting, showing all his lies in the boy’s face, telling him he was worthless, so worthless that he didn’t even worth Seishirou killing him (wow, you really were a sweet talker Seishirou!). He stayed in a state of catalepsy, unable to respond, even Hokuto couldn’t reach him anymore. The worst thing his that even if Seishirou is a monster, Subaru still loved him and felt guilty for it.
Knowing that only an emotion as terrible as the one Subaru felt when Seishirou tried to kill him could bring her brother back, Hokuto decided to go to Seishirou and asked him to kill her instead of Subaru.
Seishirou agree, telling her that he could tried again later, while not understanding why she decided to do that. He killed her, and the shock of losing his twin his strong enough for Subaru to wake up. Before dying in his arms, Hokuto told Seishirou something : that she put a spell on him so if he ever try to kill her brother with the technique he used to kill her, the technique would go against him instead of against his brother. Seishirou asked her why she was telling him what spell she used, and she smiled at him, telling him that if she didn’t, it would makes no sense. Then she told him that even he was allow to love, and died smiling.
Subaru was of course broken by the death of his twin, swearing that he will become stronger and find Seishirou again. That’s how Tokyo Babylon ends (very happy I knooooow).
They met again -and for the last time- in X 1999 (by Clamp). Subaru is now twenty one & Seishirou thirty. It’s the apocalypse (yeah, things are so not getting better), and two sides are fighting each other : the side of the Seven Sky Dragons, & the side of the Seven Earth Dragons. Of course, Subaru is one of the Sky Dragon & Seishirou one of the Earth Dragon.
The Sky Dragons fight so mans survived even if it’s mean that the Earth will die, the Earth Dragons are fighting so humans disappear so the Earth can survive. Not an easy choice. Each Dragon have a wish they wants to come true, but of course, everybody will not get what they wanted (Hello angst?).
Subaru didn’t really give a fuck about that fight, only wanting to find Seishirou. Seishirou found him first, of course, and they had a little fight in which Seishirou asks if Subaru’s wish is to kill him, and Subaru said “No.” after what Seishirou disappear. (Oh and Subaru's leader, Kamui, is a cute sixteen years old boy who really, really like him -yeah, crush, kinda- and who is Subaru's twin in another dimension but that's so not the subject!)
Later, the leader of the Earth Dragons fought against Subaru and took his right eyes (the same Seishirou lost for him in the past), telling him he “grant his wish” (the leader of the Earth Dragons -a seventeen years old boy named Fuma- & Seishirou get along nicely and Fuma can “see” peoples wishes).
In the end, Subaru & Seishirou fought on a bridge, and Seishirou use the technique he used against Hokuto against Subaru. Like she told him it would, it makes Subaru kill him instead of killing Subaru. When Subaru ask “Why?”, Seishirou told him about the spell.
Subaru then told him that he never wanted to kill Seishirou, that he only wanted to grow stronger so Seishirou finally decide the was worthy to be kill. His wish was that Seishirou kill him. Seishirou smiled when Subaru told him, and say “I should have know, you could never kill anyone”. And then he said something into Subaru ear (that those bitches of writers DID NOT WROTE) and died. Of course, everyone think that he finally told Subaru that he loved him, since whatever if was, made Subaru feels even worse, and saying later “now, I can never know if the last thing he told me was true.”
After that, since when a Dragon died, another one took his place, Subaru took Seishirou’s place, but didn’t take any part in the fight anymore. The leader of the Earth Dragon, Fuma, came to Subaru with Seishirou left eye in some magical seal. He told Subaru that Seishirou asked him to gave it to Subaru after his death (showing that the asshole had planed to die all along), so Subaru could have his right eye back because Seishirou didn’t like the mark of someone else on Subaru (possessive bastar). He also warn Subaru, that if he chose to take the eye, he will also inherit all the Sakurazuka’s powers. Of course, Subaru took the eye.
Fuma & Subaru met again later. Subaru now got two eyes, & Seishirou’s powers to add with his own, which made him the most powerful dragon.
Fuma asked him what he was going to do now, & Subaru said “Nothing”. Fuma asked him why not dying then, since he wasn’t interest in anything anymore. Subaru didn’t answer, but Fuma smiled and said “of course, his you die, the last part of Seishirou in this world will die with you” (the eye) and then he add “Seishirou really was an egoist”. Subaru didn’t understand, and Fuma smiled again (of course, it only meant that Seishirou made sure that Subaru couldn’t die knowing that 1)the poor boy wouldn’t kill the last part of him & 2)a Sakurazukamori can only be kill by the one he love and the one Subaru loved was Seishirou and OMG this is so twisted I adore it).
Basically, the Sakurazuka’s & the Sumeragi’s bloodline are know both fucked since Subaru is now the new Sakurazukamori and don’t plan to kill anyone in the rest of his life, & gave up the whole Sumeragi leadership too.
Anyway! That’s where my first ship ends, and if anyone ever wonder why the hell I was into deathfic, angst, & twisted doomed-from-the-start love story, well, I guess my first ship (I was thirteen for God’s sakes) explain it all for you! :D
EVEN FOR THOSE WHO DON'T LIKE MANGA, I SHALL RECOMMEND TO READ BOTH TOKYO BABYLON & X 1999 COZ THIS IS REALLY MADE OF GENIUS. IT'S LIKE SOME GREEK TRAGEDY.
2) MY NEWEST SHIP IS : MARCUS WRIGHT/KYLE REESE (Terminator Salvation) & CHRISTIAN MANN/OLIVIER SABEL (Verbotene Liebe)!
Because angst, destiny & fucked up timeline are made of win!
For anyone who know them, it’s a bit like what happened between Craig Dean & John Paul in Hollyoaks! A gay guy fall in love with a straight boy with a girlfriend. Here, it’s Ollie, who fall in love with Christian when at first they couldn’t stand each other. They became friend, but Ollie kissed Coco (Christian girlfriend) to comfort her & it became the most ridiculous mess I ever saw for one stupid kiss. Of course, the two fight, kiss, Christian got confuse, break up with Coco, stay confuse, etc.
Lot of denial & lot of goodness. And a bashing (QAF power). Anyway, they’re pretty fun to watch (in German with English sub on Youtube!). www.youtube.com/view_play_list
3) I USED TO SHIP : NEARLY ALL THE POSSIBLE, CANON, IMPOSSIBLE SHIP IN HEROES!
Heroes, which used to be the best fucking show in my life before the season 2 & 3 came in the game. My favourite ship was the Mylar & the Pettrelicest, but I really got bored of the fucked up of both the storyline & characters. :(
Sigh...
4)I NEVER USED TO SHIP : SPIKE/XANDER (BTVS), SID/CASSIE (Skins), TONY/MICHELLE (Skins), SID/TONY (Skins).
I KNOW they're a classic in slash but I'm a very boring BTVS fan and I really, really can't even fucking IMAGINE those two together. It's like a whole new level of wrong even highter and incest slash & RPS put together. I can't get it (and yeah, my sense of wrong may be a bit fucked up).
Because I LOVE Cassie, she is one of my favourite character EVER in all the Show I love and Sid... welll, I never liked Sid. I don't dislike him, I just don't give a fuck about him. So, Cassie's greatness with him never worked for me.
I totally don't like Michelle, but I never really loved Tony either so you could think I don't mind them. Well, They made sense in the season one, but the whole getting back together in the season two? Pretty pointless and stupid. . It made no sense, even less since the won’t study in the same town after the end of the season…
Tony/Sid, well I understand why people ship them, I do but I really can’t… (once again, I think it’s because I don’t care about Sid).
5) EVERYONE I NOW SHIP : AT LEAST ONE SHIP IN THE HARRY POTTER FANDOM (BECAUSE THAT’S LIKE A DAMN “RITE OF PASSAGE” FOR SHIPPER THOSE DAYS), OR/AND A SUPERNATURAL SHIP, AND/OR ONE OF THE X-FILES SHIP COZ THEY ARE CLASSICS.
www.artdungeon.net/
I mean, really, who never ship ANYONE in HP???
Supernatural. They're like, truly big and getting bigger on my friends ship (most likely Dean/Sam because Wincest rules but other ship too). I'm a late bloomer myself, I wasn't really sold before the season 4 who really, really ROCKED MY SOCKS, which was awesome, coz few show are that's good right now (I mean, Ruby, Castiel, rock band, souls selling, God in Hollydays, Chuck the Prophet of the Lord and the brother dicovering slash fics about them??? Too much awesomeness in one show to be left alone!).
Dana/Mulder are like, duh, iconic ship now right?
And Krycek/Mulder, well, sexual tension anyone?
(I was talking about X-files in class about a month ago, mentioning the Krycek/Mulder tension and one of my friend just looked at me like "DUH!" saying “Please, they’re like a fucking classic and the UST is totally canon!” XD)
6)I FEEL LIKE NOBOBY BUT ME SHIP : CASSIE/EFFY (Skins), SEAN DIGNAM/BILLY COSTIGAN (The Departed), JOHNNY STORM/PETER PARKER (The fantastic four & Spiderman).
Cassie/Effy! They had great scene in the season two, they’re my favourite characters in the show, and they’re both totally fucked-up. That’s a match for me, but I don’t think many people share this ship with me… (Plus, "Hello Hotness people!")
mavoorik.livejournal.com/2991.html
Sean Dignam/Billy Costigan in The Departed! I feel really alone about those two even if they have a (small) community with some fics about them! They are like one wonderful ship full of angst, death, despair, UST like WOW and no one seems to care... ;_;
Johnny Storm/Peter Parker (aka the Torch & Spiderman). In nearly all universe those two are AT LEAST friends, and they’re really close in the Ultimate universe. Like, really, really, “I-call-you-because-my-date-sucks-and-I-don’t-care-that-you’re-making-out-with-your-girlfriend” close, and like “OMG-I-totally-hit-on-your-female-clone-dude” close! See my point?
(Yeah, because Peter got a girl!clone of himself. She is him, his memories, his feeling -so yeah, into girls too- but in the body of a girl -she don’t like it at all by the way-, and Johnny totally hit on her… which is really screaming SUBTEXT.)
Second part coming!!! (the post was to big...) here http://oximore.livejournal.com/50407.html#cutid1
