Shipping Meme
I snagged this lovely little meme from amethyst_turtle.
Six ships you're into right now.
01. Zoro x Nami (One Piece)
02. Zoro x Sanji (One Piece)
03. Ryoga x Ukyo (Ranma 1/2)
04. Lotor x Allura (Voltron)
05. Regal x Raine (Tales of Symphonia)
06. Gambit x Rogue (X-men)
Three ships you liked, but don't anymore.
Let me preface this by saying that I am like a captain--I never jump ship! As such, these next three are not necessarily ones I am no longer interested in, but ones that I have only a passing interest in and thus only read on rare occasion.
07. Ran x Ken (Weiss Kreuz)
08. Link x Zelda (Legend of Zelda)
09. Ranma x Ryoga (Ranma 1/2)
Three ships you never liked.
10. Rogue x Bobby (X-men)
11. Robin x Chopper (One Piece)
12. Grissom x Sara (CSI)
Two ships you're curious about, but don't actually ship.
13. Zoro x Tashigi (One Piece)
14. Sanji x Nami (One Piece)
Why do you dislike #11 so much? (Robin x Chopper)
I just can't see Chopper with anybody really, and Robin seems, if anything to me, to act like an older sister to him. Yeah, they can talk about books together and all that jazz, but he's only into reindeer (per Oda himself) and Robin doesn't seem like the "much younger man" type to me.
Who is someone you know that ships #14? (Sanji x Nami)
I know several, but probably the biggest fan in my immediate acquaintance is dandywonderous.
What would be your ideal scenario for couple #3? (Ryoga x Ukyo)
I dunno. Maybe Ranma and Akane finally actually get married, Ryoga gets, rightfully in my opinion, creeped out by the fact Akari really only wants him for his curse, Ukyo decides Konatsu is too clingy, and they both realize that they get along pretty well some of the time, so why not give it a shot?
Which is your favorite moment for couple #1? (Zoro x Nami)
You wound my soul, meme, by forcing me to choose just one...
Umm... I guess I have to go with the piggyback ride in Alubarna.
How long have you been following couple #6? (Gambit x Rogue)
Years. Of course, sometimes she really, really pisses me off by being a total witch with a capital "B" to the poor guy, and I'm forced to go read him with someone else, but he really does love her, so just like he does, I eventually come crawling back to the pairing.
What's the story with #8? What made you stop liking them/caring? (Link x Zelda)
I think it's cute and all, I'm just not super into it. Would I read it if I had nothing else to read? You bet! If I have other options, probably not so much.
You have the power to make one ship non-existent. Choose from #10 or #12 (Rogue x Bobby and Grissom x Sara)
Both are technically canon (X-men movie-verse only), but since I have the power, I would nix Grissom x Sara because I just really don't like it, mostly because I dislike Sara's character intensely. I was thrilled when she left, but now she's back again, without Grissom, whom I like better. Why?! DX I want to her leave again!
Which ship do you prefer, #2 or #4? (Zoro x Sanji or Lotor x Allura)
I'm going to have to go with Lotor x Allura, as it was my first fanfiction pairing. No, it doesn't make any sense logically, but I'm big on redemption and since when has that ever stopped a fangirl? XD
What interests you about #14? (Sanji x Nami)
Actually making it work without being one-sided or exploitative.
Why did you stop liking #7? (Ran x Ken)
It's very often depressing, but then again, so is the fandom it's from. I go back to it on occasion when I get a rare urge to torture myself with angst.
Did your waning interest in #9 kill your interest in the show? (Ranma x Ryoga)
Pshaw! Nothing kills my interest in things! I may get distracted, but nothing pulls me away forever.
What’s a song that reminds you of #5? (Regal x Raine)
Skillet's "Yours to Hold."
If you could have any of these two pairings double-date, who would it be?
I think I'll go with Zoro and Nami and Ryoga and Ukyo because the guys, after no doubt getting horrifically lost on the way and perhaps bumping into one another while lost, can talk about training with ridiculous amounts of weight and under extreme conditions and how they can never really decisively beat their respective rivals, and the gals can discuss what hopeless but rather attractive morons their boys are and talk business.
Have #2 kissed yet? (Zoro x Sanji)
HAHAHAHAHAHA! XD No, but they almost have on several occasions. (In the anime anyway.)
Did #4 have a happy ending? If the show hasn't ended yet, do you think a happy ending is likely? (Lotor x Allura)
Good lord, no! XD In the Japanese version of the show, he died! Disregarding that, he'd like to think they could have one, but she's more worried about what his father's evil empire would do to her people. If she put some effort into it she could totally get him to switch sides for her!
What would make you start shipping #13? (Zoro x Tashigi)
I might be a little more tempted if it turned out to be canon, but then again, maybe not. She'd also have to be a little less belligerent, and he'd need to resolve his "OMG! Stop looking like yourself!" issues.
If only one could happen, which would you prefer, #2 or #6? (Zoro x Sanji or Gambit x Rogue)
As much as I love Zoro and Sanji's unhealthily antagonist back and forth, I have to go with Gambit and Rogue's unhealthily antagonist back and forth. DX (It's probably easier for me to say that because I have another pairing I like Zoro in...)
You have the power to decide the fate of #10. What happens to them? (Rogue x Bobby)
Well, it depends on which X-verse we're talking. Movie-versewise, since it's the only time they're actually canon, Rogue realizes that Bobby is *gasp* into another girl and it's not just because he couldn't touch her. (I find movie Rogue to be a bit of an idiot...) Ideally, Gambit will somehow show up in the present timeline without aging considerably. (As much as I hate him, Sinister would come in very handy for that.)
Which of these ships do you love the most?
Well, right now, I write most often for Zoro x Nami, but I really like all of my top six. The muse could switch to any of them at any given time, I suppose.
If you haven't already been subjected to this meme, this is your cue to take it.
