Come and sail away with me
Nov. 16th, 2013 05:01 pmNaBloPoMo, Day 16: What are your favorite doomed ships? Ships that never were? Canon ships?
Doomed ships:
- Buffy/Spike (BtVS): Does this count? They were canon for a spell, but then things happened, including the series finale. I don't know, is there hope for them in the comics that I've never read? And then again there's the whole vampire/human problem, where he lives forever and she's obviously going to grow old and die someday, barring her being turned, which she'd never allow. So, yeah. Pretty doomy, I think.
Ships that never were: Oh, so many. So, so many...
- Draco/Ginny (HP): It probably never crossed JK Rowling's mind ever, what with Harry/Ginny as endgame and the continued isolation of Slytherin and all that epilogue nonsense.
- Merlin/Arthur (Merlin): Remember the massive fucking up of almost all the characters and relationships to make sure these two didn't come across as teh gay? Yeah, good times. Gosh, I hold grudges well.
- Veronica/Weevil (VM): SO MUCH POTENTIAL and then Logan came into play and there was no turning back. I'm totally cool with the LoVe ship, actually, but I think WeeVer would have been so explosively good.
- Alt!Livia/Alt!Lincoln (Fringe): Well, one of them died, so... It's nice that a version of them got to be canon, but I have mixed feelings on how it all came about, and Alt!Lincoln was the best of all possible Lincolns. I really miss the alt!universe...
Canon ships:
- FitzSimmons (AoS): They're not quite there yet, but I'm 95% sure we're headed very firmly in that direction. The other 5% is if one of them gets killed off first. (How stinking adorable was Simmons in the last episode, btw? "No! I can't be a part of your bad girl shenanigans. I like following the rules and doing what's expected of me. It makes me feel nice!")
I'm sure the rest of you will remind me of ones I've forgotten, too!
