Challenge #20 Tropes: Love Triangle
I admit that this picspam has been in my plans for quite some time. Picspammy's challenge just gave me the perfect excuse.
Let's face it - there's nothing more glorious, cheap and dramatic than a love triangle. And raise your hand all of you who had already participated in shippers wars. And stop lying, you all know you did.
It's quite image heavy and includes vidding links further illustrating the cases.
TVTropes' entry: Love Triangle.
A is in love with B, but B is in love with C, resulting in wacky hijinks.
Alternatively, A and B are both in love with C, who is torn between the two and must make a choice.
Favorite variations:
Nice Guy vs Bad Boy
first/old love vs new love
BFF vs "new kid in town"
nerd vs hottie
boring vs exciting
Honorary Mentions
The obnoxious
Felicity/Ben/Noel ~ Kate/Jack/Sawyer ~ Lucas/Peyton/Brooke
Quite a few others could've gotten into this category.
Actually all of this entry could fit in here.
Let's just say it's those I was too lazy to look for screencaps.
Not that they weren't insanely obnoxious.
(( Thinking Over )) / (( Mystery )) / (( I Gotta Get Through This ))
The confusing
Nick/Claudia/Jenny
So Claudia and Jenny are kind of the same person. Except not really.
Because of the whole alternative reality thingy.
Cutter was confused and so were the viewers.
The geometrical mess
Lucas/Maggie/Cappie/Alise/Rina
Textbook example of A in love with B who's in love with C
who's dating D but falling for B
who is hated by E who's in love with A.
Easy to follow, right?
Alice
Alice/Jack/Hatter
Color coding includes wardrobe and Jack's cheap bleach job.
You know, in case you'd have hard time telling them apart. Or making your shipping choice.
(( 9 Crimes ))
Buffyverse
Buffy/Angel/Spike ~ Fred/Gunn/Wesley
...and quite a few more.
It's not like any would get a happy ending anyway.
This is Joss Whedon after all.
(( Undisclosed Desires ))
You know, one of these days I'm just gonna put you two in a room and let you wrestle it out.
There could be oil of some kind involved.
Dawson's Creek
Joey/Dawson/Pacey
(( Pieces ))
Best thing we can do is just be ourselves-- carry on in our typical, usual, distracting...
Sordid love triangle ways.
Gilmore Girls
Rory/Dean/Jess
And Rory/Dean/Tristan. And Rory/Marty/Logan.
And Rory/Dean/Logan. And Rory/Logan/Jess.
Rory had issues...
(( Hush ))
Rory and I are just friends. Just like you and Rory were just friends. And hey, look how well it turned out for you.
Greek
Casey/Evan/Cappie ~ Casey/Max/Cappie
(( Two Princes )) / (( The Way I Loved You ))
Paging, Dr. Grey... No, wait, you are more like Joey Potter.
No, you're worse. You're the F word. Felicity.
How I Met Your Mother
Robin/Ted/Barney
(( Think Twice ))
Say you and I went suit shopping, and you happened upon a suit.
A beautiful Canadian suit. Double-breasted. Mmmmmm.
You try it on, and it's not exactly the right fit for you, so you put it back.
I try it on, and I don't really wanna take the same suit you had your eye on,
but at the same time, I really like that suit.
The O.C.
Seth/Summer/Anna
(( Counting... ))
Primeval
Abby/Connor/Stephen ~ Abby/Connor/Caroline
Thankfully both never fully explored.
The writers were too busy killing off the characters anyway.
(( Protect Me )) / (( I'll Show You Crazy ))
Queer as Folk
Brian/Justin/Ethan
Lovingly known as Ian the Fiddler.
(( Need to Destroy ))
Skins
Sid/Michelle/Cassie
(( Hell Is Around a Corner ))
That 70s Show
Jackie/Kelso/Hyde
(( Vision ))
Something touched me deep inside,
the day that Hyde lied.
So bye, bye, Mr Steven Hyde.
I'm a hottie and you're nottie,
Jackie's gonna be mine.
The Vampire Dairies
(Katherine)Elena/Stefan/Damon
(( Stop and Stare ))
All because you loved the same woman, a hundred and forty-five years ago?
Veronica Mars
Veronica/Duncan/Logan
(( Over You ))
Next challenge:
Whoever guesses correctly my ships for the above mentioned fandoms can chose a TV Trope definition for me to picspam next.
