while my btvs headline ship is spike/buffy, spike/illyria caught my attention too, and if the show'd continued and really pushed towards the two of them, i wouldn'd have been averse to it.
also, jayne/river? had so much potential. and i don't just mean in a romantic shippy way, but i really loved their interaction. also, like you said, for the amusement.
More episodes of the show set several years down the road. If it was handled well in canon, I could probably go for it. me too, basically. ^^;
Cordy/Angel is my big BtvS ship, with Angel/Buffy and Spike/Buffy just behind. Spike/Illyria and Faith/Robin Wood(!!) are both ships I could have completely gotten behind if the shows hadn't ended.
Jayne/River were just a blast to watch, and there's that one moment in Serenity in the bar fight where you're kinda "did they just...they couldn't have...I think they did..." Any shipping, though, would be a good ways down the road...
Do ya think it's strange I don't ship real life ships? Only animated ones? Gah, for some reason I just find it strange to go the other way.
1.) Why do you dislike #11 so much? (Jack/Elizabeth)
IAside from the fact that Will/Elizabeth is so very clearly the OTP and Jack and Elizabeth would kill each other inside a month? Elizabeth is, in essence, a female, better bred and educated version of Jack who's convinced she has a stronger moral center.
It's ironic that I think that Johnny Depp x Any female from Pirates is hot. Yet I don't "root" for this pairing, so that doesn't make me a shipper. Jack/Eliz reminds me of one of those "forbidden relationship" couples, and that automatically attracts my enthusiasm.
The thing about Jack is that, teah, he could have chemistry with anyone but honestly, youjust can't actually SHIP him with anyone because you know it'd never last. The man is married to his ship and the sea...there's no room for anything but flings in his life.
;_____; did you just ignore my first question? i wanted some constructive opinions.
You can't deny that Knightely's character is a tease/flirt. I mean c'mon now...she's just certainly not batting Jack away(there's a word for that, I know it! *tries to remember it*). Haha, obviously Jack/Whoever wouldn't last. Though "Elizabeth" is a wild one, her colonial upbringing is not emphasized well.
Didn't ignore...just got sidetracked because it was time to head for work and forgot. If I were to guess, maybe it feels like you're shipping the actors instead of the characters? In animated, illustrated and prose fiction, they're components of others, but not a solid "person" while in live action, it's a person pretending to be someone else, so maybe shipping LA characters just feels like you're shipping two people playing a game or something? It's hard for me to say as I don't have any problems with that myself(obviously) so it's hard to say. I wouldn't say it's strange...people are drawn to certain kinds of ships, and medium is a kind of ship just as much as character type
