In Which I Do A Meme: Top Shippings

[zelda_queen]

Snagged from ladyhadhafang! I do love a good shipping. ^_^



Top 10 Shippings Overall

1.  Amy/Rory, Doctor Who

2. Beast/Belle, Beauty and the Beast.

3. Mitchell/Annie, Being Human (until Mitchell goes insane, that is :( )

4. Elder/Amy, Across the Universe (yes, there's a pairing in a current YA novel I like. Insanity! :O ) 

5. Flynn Rider/ Rapunzel, Tangled

6. Tohru Honda/ Kyo Sohma, Fruits Basket

7. Harry/ Ginny, Harry Potter

8. Germany/ Italy
 
9. Sailor Moon/ Tuxedo Mask

10. Sophie Hatter/ Howl (books and movie both! ^_^)

Top 5 Love Triangles/Threesomes
1.  Hungary/ Austria/ Prussia, Axis Powers Hetalia (as a threesome, because it fits perfectly. Hey, Hungary's already a yaoi fangirl!)

2. Celia/ Marcus/ Isabelle, The Night Circus (as a love triangle, because oh look, actual consequences of the decision! Hello!)

3. Mary/ Matthew/ Lavinia, Downton Abbey (as a love triangle, because the show actually made the other girl sympathetic and nice and didn't have everyone be a bitch to her just because)

4. Bolin/ Korra/ Mako/ Asami (as a love triangle, because again, the other girl is an interesting character who isn't instantly made bitchy or shallow just to make the lead look better. Also, it's nicely underplayed thus far)

5. Viola/Duke/Olivia/Sebastian!Viola (both the original play and the adaptation of She's the Man)

Top 5 Canon Pairings

1. Nina/George, Being Human

2. Tyrion and Shae, Game of Thrones

3. Aang and Katara, Avatar: The Last Airbender

4. Zuko and Mai, Avatar: The Last Airbender

5. Hermione and Ron, Harry Potter

Top 5 "Not my favorite, but they're very nice alternate choices" Shippings

1. Katara/ Zuko (Yes, yes, I know. I hate the pairing written badly, is all.)

2. Hungary/ Prussia

3. Sokka/ Toph

4. Matthew/ Lavinia

5. Tohru Honda/ Yuki Sohma

Top 5 "Wtf that makes no sense... but I LOVE it!" Shippings

1. Zyn/ Leah (Haven't looked at that one too much lately, but dang if I don't love it!)

2. Sands/ Snape (Thank you so very much, Mervin)

3. Marcie Millar/ Nora (At the very least, it makes a fuck-ton more sense than the canon shipping of Nora/ Patch)

4. Hong Kong/ Switzerland (You can blame the dude who wrote the Hearth Series for this one)

5. Egypt/ Lithuania (It was done in an extremely cracky fanfiction, and now I kind of love it)

Top 5 "I just don't feel what everyone else is feelin'" Shippings

1. Belle/ Gaston (Um...way to miss the point of the movie? 8( )

2. Bella/ Streex (Yes. This crossover happened. No, I'm not sure if it's a joke or not)

3.  Switzerland/ Lichtenstein (I know blood relationships are a bit loose in Hetalia, but... Lichtenstein looks like she's about twelve. And calls Switzerland "Big Bruder" pretty much every time they meet. It's just a bit...squicky, is all I'm saying)

4. Belerus/ Lithuania (Erm... the only time they went on a date, she broke his fingers. And come on, the guy's a big enough woobie as it is!)

5. Jareth/ Sarah (Ignoring the age factor, the entire thing is centered around him tricking and victim-blaming her. I could see it as some metaphor for going into adulthood or something, but a straight-up relationship? Erm... O_o)

Top 5 "I hope these die" Shippings

1. Katara/Zuko, How I Became Yours (yes, those two are fanon versions of a Suethor's twisted mind, but they both are such self-centered assholes that I don't feel the least bit sorry about what happens to them in the sequel)

2. Patch/Nora, Hush Hush.

3. Edward/Bella & Christan Grey/ Anna Steele (yes, this might be cheating, but they're honestly the same characters)

4. Karumi/ Hakuron (... Mother. Of. God.)

5. Zoey Redbird/ Loren Blake (Not only is Zoey underage, the fact that she's completely oblivious to the many implications and consequences of going all the way with a teacher just makes it even squickier, somehow!)

/Beast/Belle, Beauty and the Beast./

Yes! :D

/Sophie Hatter/ Howl (books and movie both! ^_^)/

I’ve only seen the movie, but I agree, Sophie and Howl are sweet. ^^

Yay for Zyn/Leah!

/Belle/ Gaston (Um...way to miss the point of the movie?/

I have seen fanfics where Belle and Gaston get together specifically after Gaston learns to grow up and change (i.e. basically what the Beast does). But yeah, even with that scenario, this couple is not my cup of tea at all, to put it lightly. And I love Beast (Adam)/Belle too much to like either of them with anybody else.

I like Katara/Zuko, so maybe I’m better off *not* reading “How I Became Yours.”

As for the rest of the “I hope these die” picks, I totally agree!

[chibi-regalli.livejournal.com]

Here's the highlights: Mai gets bloodbent to death in broad daylight (Note that this predates Korra), which is seen as a good, heroic act the perpetrator pulls, and she is treated as the villain even though she has a point why Zuko and Katara getting together would be problematic. Zuko and Katara spend all their time wangsting and have nothing in common with their canon counterparts. Zuko beats Mai before leaving her. Toph wears pretty dresses all the time and doesn't mind that she was turned into a girly-girl with nothing in common with her former self. Sokka ends up with AZULA. Who has amnesia, turning her into a clone of Yue. During a sex scene, Aang appears to go into the Avatar State. Aang is the least useful character in the thing. Aang found a remaining tribe of Air Nomads, who he abandons. Zuko abandons the Fire Nation for four months to hang out with his girlfriend at the Bei Fong estate. Sokka and Katara are, for some reason, prince and princess of the Water Tribes now. AZULA IS A PURITY SUE, and Zuko and their mother talk about how she's so much better this way (an amnesiac, recall), implying that yes, Azula was right and her family never loved her. The one thing people actually like about it is Sho, Mai's inexplicably-existing older brother, who's cool, sexy, and trying to kill the Sue-Wraiths that were once canon characters.

Oh, and a lot of it's been traced wholesale- drawings matching up line for line with screenshots from the show levels of "traced wholesale". And full of spelling mistakes. And has nothing to do with the actual canon verse.

WHAT? D:

/Zuko beats Mai before leaving her./

0_0

/Toph wears pretty dresses all the time and doesn't mind that she was turned into a girly-girl with nothing in common with her former self./

...

Dear Lord. Now I'm *really* glad that I never read this. This sounds horrible! Unbelievably horrible!

[chibi-regalli.livejournal.com]

Apparently the only people who like it are the REALLY hardcore Zutara fans/Mai bashers.

[zelda-queen.livejournal.com]

"she is treated as the villain even though she has a point why Zuko and Katara getting together would be problematic"

Don't forget the double standard. -_- It's perfectly fine for Katara and Zuko to throw aside all of their responsibilities and be jerks in the name of their love, but when Mai is understandably pissed that she was thrown over and lied to about her husband having an affair? Oh, well that's just crossing the line, beyotch!

[chibi-regalli.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes. It's just abysmal.

[zelda-queen.livejournal.com]

"I’ve only seen the movie, but I agree, Sophie and Howl are sweet. ^^"

They are! :D And even though Sophie had self esteem issues, she still never let Howl be a brat. And even though Howl was childish and narcissistic, he still appreciated Sophie and really did think she was beautiful and capable.

"I have seen fanfics where Belle and Gaston get together specifically after Gaston learns to grow up and change (i.e. basically what the Beast does). But yeah, even with that scenario, this couple is not my cup of tea at all, to put it lightly. And I love Beast (Adam)/Belle too much to like either of them with anybody else."

Oh yeah, I could kind of see that. But I agree, I'm too fond of Adam/Beast and Belle together. ^^

"I like Katara/Zuko, so maybe I’m better off *not* reading 'How I Became Yours.'"

You really are, or at least you should hold off until the sporking. Jackie Diaz is the Avatar equivalent of those batshit Harmonian shippers, except she deals in visual formats.

Ooh, a sporking of How I Became Yours, can't wait for that. (Granted, I wanted to do that but you would probably do it better than I could.)
