THE SHIPPING MEME
SIX PAIRINGS I LIKE :
1. Al/May [FMA]
2. Aang/Katara [ATLA]
3. Ed/Winry [FMA]
4. Ling/Lanfan/Greed [FMA]
5. Jessie/James [Pokemon HAHA SHUT UP]
6. Roy/Riza [FMA]
THREE SHIPS I'VE ABANDONED:
7. Toph/Sokka [ATLA]
8. Harry/Ginny [HP]
9. Edward/Bella [Twlight. I CAN EXPLAIN, I WAS 13]
THREE SHIPS I'VE NEVER LIKED / ALWAYS HATED:
10. Zuko/Katara [ATLA]
11. Ed/Ling [FMA]
12. Zim/Dib [Invader Zim]
TWO SHIPS THAT HAVE PIQUED MY INTEREST:
13. Rapunzel/Flynn [Tangled]
14. Toph/Smellerbee [ATLA]
1. Why do you dislike #11 so much? [Ed/Ling]
Look, half of their interaction is Ed shipping Ling hardcore with Lanfan and talking about ~the people who he has waiting for him.~ I just find the pairing irritating since it totally ignores Winry and Lanfan. However, I still love Ed and Ling's actual dynamic and I BFF ship them pretty hard.
2. Who do you know that ships #13? [Rapunzel/Flynn]
Haha, like everybody! I need to see the movie again!
3. What would be your ideal scenario for couple #3? [Ed/Winry]
Exactly what happened in canon. They get married, Ed is a househusband, they live in Rush Valley raising their family together and they are happy. <3
4. What is your favorite moment for #1? [JAl/May]
This is totally angsty, but the entirety of chapter 107 for them. Their reunion in chapter 108 was amazing as well.
5. How long have you been following couple #6? [Roy/Riza]
Ever since I read the Elric Bros flashback arc when Riza says she'll protect Roy.
6. What's the story with #8? What made you stop caring? [Harry/Ginny]
I grew up and realized that HP isn't perfect and that Ginny didn't get as much agency as I thought she did when I was 14.
7. Which ship do you prefer--#2 or #4? [Aang/Katara][Ling/Lanfan/Greed]
OKAY, NO. These are totally different ships and I love them for very different reasons. I CANNOT CHOOSE. I can have them all!
8. You have the power to make one ship non-existent. Choose from #10 or #12. [Zuko/Katara][Zim/Dib]
Oh, definitely Zutara.
9. What interests you about #14? [Toph/Smellerbee]
They are both awesome ladies who rock? They are both single? HAHA, I DON'T KNOW. I just find the idea of them being friends adorable, and I could read both of them as gay if I wanted to. *shrugs*
10. When did you stop liking #7? [Toph/Sokka]
I totally fell in love with Suki/Sokka? I guess I just didn't care that much about Toph's crush, and I much prefer Sokka and Toph as badass BFFs. They kind of remind me of myself and one of my best guy friends in high school. I had a crush on him but it went nowhere and I preferred our relationship as friends a lot more in the long run!
11. Did your waning interest in #9 kill your interest in the series? [Edward/Bella]
HAHAHAHAH. see I shipped this when I first breezed through Twilight at age 13. as soon as I looked at it again I realized everything was shit.
12. What's a song that reminds you of #5? [Jessie/James]
WELL OBVIOUSLY THE TEAM ROCKET SONG. DUH!
13. Which of these ships do you love the most right now?
Hmm, probably ot3.
14. Which do you dislike the most?
*shrugs* I don't really care about things other people ship anymore.
15. If you could have any of these pairings double date, who would they be?
OT3 and Al/May. Hilarity all around. Or Ed/Winry and OT3. That might be even more hilarious, actually.
16. Have #2 kissed yet? Elaborate if yes. [Aang/Katara]
Yes! AND HOW.
17. Did #4 have a happy ending? Do you think one is likely? [Ling/Lanfan/Greed]
...No. But in my headcanon world everything ends up okay for all three of them.
18. What would make you start shipping #14? [Toph/Smellerbee]
More good fic? I'm pretty passive about it so IDK if anything would make me hardcore.
19. If only one could happen, which would you prefer--#2 or #6? [Aang/Katara][Roy/Riza]
Well neither story would make sense without these ships. Aang/Katara, though, since Roy/Riza is mostly subtextual anyway.
20. You have the power to decide the fate of #10. What happens to them? [Zuko/Katara]
Zuko and Mai get married, Aang and Katara get married. Zuko and Katara are friends but she's never quite as close to Zuko as the rest of the gaang.
