lynzie914Yeah, so I'm kind of late on these. Its been a crappy week and the meme and other things got put off. But now you get multiple ships in one day!
Day 03 - A pairing that needs to happen now?
Stefan/Caroline
This could be such an amazing pairing if the writers just let us have it. It would be the type of relationship that grew out of friendship and understanding, that I don’t think these two characters could have with any of the other characters on the show (not to knock other pairings, I just think those relationships would bring different things to the table). I think Stefan is one of the few people to fully see Caroline for who she is and who she can be, he doesn’t have an idealistic view of her and he doesn’t’ try to make her into something that she’s not. I think out of anyone Stefan is actually the one with the most faith in Caroline and what she can handle. And again, I think Caroline sees Stefan for who he is, and having gone through her own transformation I think she has a lot of respect for the choices that he’s made because she knows how difficult it is for him to be with Elena and not hurt her, to make the choice not to drink human blood. I also think that he’s one of the few people in her life that she trusts completely, when she has a problem he’s the first one she goes too because she knows he’ll help her without wanting something in return, without blaming her for how she got there.
And on a much shallower note, they just look far too pretty together not to be a couple! That alone, is good enough of a reason.
Day 04 - The pairing with the most chemistry?
Michael/Nikita
Okay, this one was hard. Because chemistry I really think is a subjective thing. I’ve thought pairings have had amazing chemistry and other have disagreed and vice versa. But I went with these two because I think they’re chemistry is always apparent no matter what they’re doing. Whether it’s a flashback to them working together, the two of them working together in the present with so much more baggage attached, or the two of them on opposite sides pointing guns at each other, you can always feel it there. And it drives their scenes and makes them even more interesting.
Day 05 - The pairing with the least chemistry?
Chloe/Jimmy
It’s so weird for me to choose a Chloe pairing for this, because I ship her with so many different people. Honestly, I think I’ve shipped her with almost every other male on the show besides Jimmy. (And some of the girls too). I really wish that I could have loved the pairing, it was so much of both characters storylines from S6 and beyond, but I could just never get into it. They had these cute moments occasionally but when they were in scenes together, I could never feel that tension that I did with other pairings on the show. I mean, by the time S7 rolled around I was completely tired of Clana, but I could still see chemistry there that I never saw with Chloe and Jimmy. I think that separately they were two awesome characters (Jimmy will forever be my Jimmy Olsen for SV, no matter what his gravestone may say his first name is) but that they worked better as friends, not as a couple. It always felt too forced, like they were trying to be something that they weren’t and they knew they didn’t fit, but were in denial about it.
Day 06 - The best kiss?
Again I think this is a very subjective question and honestly, I don’t know how to judge it properly. So I’m just going to go with my favorite kiss of the moment. And again, I feel like the couple shouldn’t be that surprising to anyone. XD But I love this kiss, I got ridiculously excited when we saw it in the comic-con season preview and even more excited when it finally aired as a flashback in Supergirl. For me, even though we had already seen them together, this was the perfect first kiss for them. It was fun and flirty, but with this intensity and passion that shows what would come for them. And I love that they were all handsy. XD I mean, really I don’t think they could have been any closer to one another.
Day 07 - The most heartbreaking scene?
Fred's Death
Personally, I don’t know how this scene couldn’t break someone’s heart, no matter if you ship them or not. It never fails to make me tear up and when I first watched it, I cried like a baby. They were just so close to that happily ever after and it had taken them so long to get there, and then it was just ripped away from them so quickly. And he had to watch as she died this horrific and painful death slowly right in front of him, when there was nothing he could do to save her, to make it any better for her. And then after she died, he was forced to face the things that killed her in her body, that still looked like her. No matter how many times I watch it and despite knowing that it will always happen, it still breaks my heart every time.
Side note, Joss Whedon likes his heartbreaking moments a little too much. Most of my list of possibilities came from his shows. Because even pairings that weren’t my main ships, still had moments that make me cry no matter how many times I see them. Curse you Joss Whedon!
