Happy Full Moon!
I think I'm like the last person to do this meme. But I really wanted to.
Six Ships I Like:
1. Zoë/Wash (Firefly)
2. Jacob/Bella (Twilight)
3. Obi-Wan/Siri (Star Wars)
4. Cedric/Viktor (HP)
5. Jean-Paul/Piotr (X-Men)
6. Snape/Lily (HP)
Three Ships I've Abandoned:
7. Kitty/Piotr (X-Men)
8. Rogue/Gambit (X-Men)
9. Jacob/Alice (Twilight)
Three Ships I've never liked:
10. Edward/Bella (Twilight)
11. Anakin/Padme (SW)
12. Jayne/River (Firefly)
(And cause I have to- honorable mention: Tonks/Lupin)
Two Ships That Have Piqued My Interest:
13. George/Hermione (HP. But mostly cause of theatrical_muse)
14. Neville/Luna (HP)
1. Why do you dislike #11 [Anakin/Padme] so much?
Lack of development. I never understood Padme’s attraction to Anakin. Their relationship was so forced, and Padme’s character constantly was changing. It just wasn’t believeable.
2. Who is someone you know that ships #13 [George/Hermione]?
Hermione!mun!!! I don’t know what it is, but our muses just gravitate towards each other. It’s what they do.
3. What would be your ideal scenario for couple #3 [Obi-Wan/Siri]?
For Siri to have survived the war, and them to have found each other again. Obi-Wan needs someone to keep him company on Tatooine. If not, I would have liked to see them run away (not leave the order, but maybe contemplate it as the run away for like, a day) and spend that time together, really giving themselves up to the relationship. They didn’t have enough time to really explore the depth of their emotion.
4. Which is your favorite episode for #1? [Zoe/Wash]
Ooh, tough. I’d have to say War Stories though, because it really shows them working through their problems. But I do love “Here lies my beloved Zoe…” in Shindig. That was Shindig, right?
5. How long have you been following couple #6? [Snape/Lily]
Since imaginaryalice turned me on to it. She started writing fics, and I requested a Snape/Lily fic from her since I know she liked writing it, and I was hooked. That was, I think, right after the 6th book?
6. What's the story with #8 [Rogue/Gambit]? What made you stop liking them/caring?
Lack of access, I guess. They were one of my first OTPs when I watched the cartoon as a kid. I loved them! But I haven’t read a lot of Rogue in the comics, and don’t think I’ve ever come across Gambit, so it was purely a case of out of sight, out of mind.
7. Which ship do you prefer - #2 [Jacob/Bella] or #4 [Cedric/Viktor]?
Jacob/Bella, definitely. Cedric/Viktor is my wtf pairing. Most of my HP pairings are like that. I blame the fic writers. But Jacob/Bella is actually plausible, not to mention much better than Edward/Bella kthxbye
8. You have the power to make one ship non-existent. Choose from #10 [Edward/Bella}] or #12 [Jayne/River].
Well I would like nothing more than for Bella to choose Jacob, in case I didn’t make that clear before. But Jayne/River honestly just skeeves me out. I cannot fathom it for even a millisecond. They are so wrong for each other. She is so incredibly unstable, and Jayne is the most unobservant, impatient person in the world. He just doesn’t know how to handle her. She’d probably kill him an hour into their relationship. But there seems to be more of a fanon thing for Jayne/River, so I guess I’ll leave it alone since it’s not canon. And getting rid of Edward paves the way for Jacob. So that’s good.
9. What interests you about #14 [Neville/Luna]?
I used to be so against them! I was like “Luna’s very spacey and very out there, and Neville’s too timid to be with someone like that.” But the 7th book coupled with the 5th movie really changed my mind. I can imagine Luna’s bluntness being good for Neville, and I’m sure she would make him laugh, which is something he needs. I can see Neville needing Luna more than Luna needs Neville, but I think having someone there to kind of pull her back and reel her in would be helpful to Luna.
So basically, cause they each have qualities that would be beneficial to the other.
10. When did you stop liking #7 [Kitty/Piotr]?
When I started reading Ultimate X-Men coupled with TM. Now Piotr will always be Big Gay Russian to me. Hey, it’s canon. Leave me alone.
To be fair, it’s not that I don’t still like Kiotr, I just haven’t been around it as much as I have JP/Pete lately. They’re pretty small in Astonishing, and that’s all I really have for them.
11. Did your waning interest in #9 [Jacob/Alice] kill your interest in the show?
Not really. More Jasper’s love for Alice killed my interest in the ship. I just want Jacob to have somebody. Someone strong and a good match for him. Alice seemed like she might work, if she wasn’t completely devoted to Jasper.
12. What's a song that reminds you of #5 [Jean-Paul/Piotr]?
Oh geez, something tweezle has on JP’s journal. Les Breastfeeders, I guess? I don’t know a particular song, but mostly I think of JP and his music tastes. Liz Phair and Peaches and songs with inappropriate titles.
13. Which of these ships do you love the most?
Ooh, ask me to choose between my children, why don’t you? I think I’ve loved Obi-Wan/Siri the longest though, so I’ll say that one.
14. Which do you dislike the most?
Jayne/River
15. If you could have any of these two pairings double date, who would it be? (even better if they're from different shows)
Jacob and Alice with Neville and Luna. I imagine Alice would take to Luna well.
16. Have #2 [Jacob/Bella] kissed yet? Elaborate if you'd like.
Oh, Chapter 15. Got mouthrape? It was not!!! Ahem. Yes, they have kissed. Twice. And she wanted it both times, so she can just deal! But the first time, she punched him in the face and broke her hand. Which she totally deserved.
17. Did #4 [Cedric/Viktor] have a happy ending? If the show hasn't ended yet, do you think a happy ending is likely?
Well, Cedric died. And three years later, Viktor complains about the lack of fangirls. So I’d say no. Theirs is a tragic love story. *tear*
18. What would make you start shipping #14 [Neville/Luna]?
JKR not having Luna marry some random dude.
19. If only one could happen, which would you prefer - #2 [Jacob/Bella] or #6 [Snape/Lily]?
Oooh, that’s really hard. Getting a chance to give Snape/Lily a happy ending is really tempting. And there’s still canon possibilities for Jacob/Bella (ok, there’s not, but I am in Egypt taking a swim in De Nile) . Oh crap, this is hard!
I’ll say Snape/Lily, because there’s always the chance that Jacob will imprint to someone so much better than Bella. And omg Snape needs to be happy!
20. You have the power to decide the fate of #10 [Edward/Bella}. What happens to them?
Bella is at the altar when she realizes she can’t go through with it. When Edward asks, she means she can’t be a vampire, not just that she can’t marry him. She realizes that she can’t leave her family and the life that she’s known behind. Edward leaves gracefully, saying he’ll come back in a few years if she changes her mind. He comes back without her knowing, and sees that she’s getting on with her life, going to college, making friends, everything he wanted for her the first time he left, and he realizes this time she really is over him.
He comes back again many decades later, and meets Bella’s children, grown adults by now with their own children, who take him to her grave. She’s buried “Isabella Black”, with Jacob next to her. Edward feels a strange sense of release, and can either carry on with his undead life, or go get the Volturi to kill him. Depends on if he’s feeling melodramatic. Personally, I’d like him to continue with his life.
(Wow, that’s very Tuck Everlasting, isn’t it?)
