Date: 2014-01-24 08:03 am (UTC)Chloe Sullivan. (Always the perfect first choice. ;D)
My favorite same sex ship: Chloe/Tess
My favorite opposite sex ship: Chloe/Oliver (Followed super closely by Chloe/Lex. I shipped them first but then Smallville destroyed my dreams, but then they gave me Chloe/Oliver. I can never figure out for sure if it makes me okay with the fact that Chloe and Lex never even kissed.)
My most hated pairing: Chloe/Jimmy. I have mad hate for these two as a couple, you can ask Sunny I was just ranting about them.
My favorite same sex unusual ship: Chloe/Lana. There's not a lot of choices here, but if only Clark wasn't in the picture these two could have made a good couple.
My favorite opposite sex unusual ship: Hmmmm....Unusual? Chloe/Whitney. I don't see a lot of love for them, but I think they could have worked. But I don't know. I ship Chloe with a lot of people. I don't even know what's an unusual pairing for her anymore.
My favorite threesome/moresome: IDK if I have a Chloe OT3, but I guess Oliver/Chloe/Tess. I think they would work out.
My favorite crossover ship: Chloe/Dean. First crossover pairing ever and the bestest. XD
My favorite brotp/friendship ship: Chloe and Lois. There was never enough scenes of the two of them and there should have been.
Caroline Forbes
My favorite same sex ship: Caroline/Katherine. I just love their dynamic. I wish that after she had turned her, Katherine had taken Caroline under her wing. It could have been a whole thing.
My favorite opposite sex ship: Tie between Caroline/Stefan and Caroline/Klaus. Caroline/Stefan has the whole best friend turned so much more, look how well they've been set up since the pilot thing going on. But I have a thing for dark/doomed fictional couples, and well, Caroline/Klaus fits that.
My most hated pairing: Caroline/Matt. Pretty much up there with my hate of Chimmy. And for so many of the same reasons.
My favorite same sex unusual ship: Caroline/Rebekah? Is that considered unusual? I just loved them when they were together.
My favorite opposite sex unusual ship: Caroline/Alaric. I have a whole head canon/story yet to be written where she never turned and they met up again when she was in college, and yeah. I can't really explain why I ship it but it makes sense to me.
My favorite threesome/moresome: Stefan/Caroline/Klaus. They were kind of an OT3 already.
My favorite crossover ship: I haven't seen a lot out there. But I read a great Chloe/Sam Winchester fic that made me ship it.
My favorite brotp/friendship ship: Caroline and Bonnie.
Cordelia Chase
My favorite same sex ship: Hmmm...Probably Cordelia/Buffy. I just loved their relationship and dynamic and always thought they understood each other so much better than they ever realized when they were both in Sunnydale.
My favorite opposite sex ship: Cordelia/Angel. OTP of the show right there.
My most hated pairing: Cordelia/Connor.
My favorite same sex unusual ship: I don't think I have a lot femslash pairings for Cordie. I wouldn't even know what was unusual?
My favorite opposite sex unusual ship: Cordie/Gunn. Sometimes I shipped it, they had some good moments.
My favorite threesome/moresome: I don't know...
My favorite crossover ship: I don't know if I have one for this either. Not in a shippy way, but I would love for her to meet Caroline.
My favorite brotp/friendship ship: Cordelia and Wesley. I was so happy that we got some of that back in her last episode, but I especially loved the early years. How in a lot of ways he was the first (or one of the first) to see Cordelia clearly.
(This meme takes longer than expected. That or you know, I'm wordier than need be when I answer it. So I'll get to the rest tomorrow. I'm excited for all of the characters you picked. You have very good character taste. ;D)

Date: 2014-01-27 07:55 am (UTC)Who else would I pick first??
Good choices!! Love Chloe/Tess and Chloe/Lana. I always wished there would of been more girl time without hints of stupid triangles.
Chlollie and Chlex!! you are a girl after my own heart!!! Chlex was my first SV ship too. Ohh how I thought that s4 was going to be filled with chlexy goodness.
Let's not talk about chimmy. It gets me ranty too!!
Yes chlean is my fave crossover ship!!
Ohh Caroline/Stefan. I wasn't really watching but then I saw them and I just had to watch!
Just the thought of Cordelia/Connor makes me want to gag!!
It's ok to wordy. Besides I love reading the reasons.
no subject
Date: 2014-01-27 11:27 pm (UTC)Yay! Someone else who ships Chloe/Tess and Chloe/Lana. I totally agree, not enough girl time just exploring their relationships, no boys allowed. There should have been so much more focus on it.
You're a girl after my own heart! Seriously, I get super excited when I find anyone who ships Chlollie and Chlex. Its so rare. So very rare and it makes me sad. That's what I thought S4 was going to be too. Then SV broke my heart and continued doing so as the seasons continued. (Though I still enjoyed their interactions because I always will and CHEMISTRY, but it was always with the knowledge that it was never going to happen.)
Let's not talk about chimmy. It gets me ranty too!!
Most of the time its just best to ignore its existence.
LOL, good, because I'm wordy by nature. I can't help it. I'm a babbler.
no subject
Date: 2014-01-24 09:27 pm (UTC)Hermione Granger
My favorite same sex ship: In the books, Hermione/Ron. In the movies/fandom, Hermione/Harry. Idk how it happened like that, but it did.
My favorite opposite sex ship: I don't think I have one. She sadly didn't have a lot of interaction with other female characters and I never really got a sense of anything.
My most hated pairing:
My favorite same sex unusual ship: See above.
My favorite opposite sex unusual ship: I ship Hermione with a lot of people. But pretty much any of the Weasleys would fit here I think, especially the lesser talked about ones. (Though I don't ship her and Percy.)
My favorite threesome/moresome: Harry/Hermione/Ron
My favorite crossover ship: Hermione/Dan (from gossip girl) It doesn't make sense, but I saw a vid and read a fic once. And they made it make sense to me. All school uniforms and a love of reading and learning.
My favorite brotp/friendship ship: Hermione and Neville. There should have been more of them.
Felicity Smoak (Yay! I rarely get to talk about my Felicity love.)
My favorite same sex ship: Felicity/Sara. They had good chemistry and I loved how quickly Sara decided she liked Felicity.
My favorite opposite sex ship: Felicity/Oliver. Obvious answer, but true. I'm hoping for a slow burn for these two that will lead to good things. I mean, in my head, Oliver Queen should always end up with a blonde tech wiz.
My most hated pairing: Hmmm...Felicity/Barry. Except I don't really hate it, its just the closest I have to fill this spot. I liked that Barry noticed her for all the right reasons (pretty, smart, just being her) but I never saw chemistry there. Just friendship. I felt like it was being pushed a little too hard at me to actually enjoy it.
My favorite same sex unusual ship: I got nothing.
My favorite opposite sex unusual ship: Tie between Felicity/Diggle and Felicity/Tommy. Felicity/Diggle is a pairing that gets like no love despite their awesome friendship and good chemistry that's been there since she joined the team and it makes me sad. I have no desire to see a triangle on the show, but come on fandom, it could most definitely be a thing. And I know Tommy and Felicity never really met, but come on, it would have been awesome.
My favorite threesome/moresome: Oliver/Felicity/Diggle. They kind of are the OT3 of the show.
My favorite crossover ship: Felicity/Bruce Wayne. I just think she'd has an effect on stoic billionaires and it should be explored more.
My favorite brotp/friendship ship: Felicity and Diggle, but I already listed that, so Felicity and Walter. I loved their scenes. I loved that she joined Team Arrow for him. Her "he was nice to me" line always gets to me, as does when he calls her his friend in the hospital room. I just loved their interactions and I want him to come back and get more of it.
Katherine Pierce
My favorite same sex ship: Caroline/Katherine. It could have been a thing. And I loved their team up in S5 and their interactions.
My favorite opposite sex ship: I used to (and sometimes have strong resurges of) love Damon/Katherine. He never needed to be compelled to love her, she taught him how to be a vampire and he molded himself in her image. He gave up everything to save her. He was everything that Katherine wanted (unconditional love) but at the same time, he wasn't nearly enough for her.
My most hated pairing: Katherine/Klaus.
My favorite same sex unusual ship: Katherine/Pearl. It should have been a thing. I wish we could have seen them ruling Mystic Falls together.
My favorite opposite sex unusual ship: Katherine/Jeremy. Its all kinds of wrong, I know, but they stupidly have chemistry and sometimes I forget about that whole looking like his sister thing.
My favorite threesome/moresome: Stefan/Katherine/Damon. I really would love to have seen (or see more) exploration of what happened in 1864.
My favorite crossover ship: Katherine/Sam Winchester. I've seen vids and lets face it, Sam is attracted to exactly her type and she's attracted to his.
My favorite brotp/friendship ship: Katherine and Emily.
no subject
Date: 2014-01-27 08:29 am (UTC)In fanon my main ones are Hermione/Weasley boys (minus Percy) and Hermione/Draco.
ngl Felicity made the show for me. The first few episodes were ok. They just needed an extra sparkle and that was Felicity.
I mean, in my head, Oliver Queen should always end up with a blonde tech wiz.
You really are after my heart!!!
Felicity/Barry is cute but yeah it did feel very forced.
Team arrow. just love them. i just love how well Diggle/Felicity/Oliver work together. They balance each other out.
Just have a thing for Katherine and her scheming ways.

I agree. The first character I fell in love with was Thea, because she's totally one of my favorite character types, but when they brought in Felicity it just really seemed to add that something special like you said. It was like they didn't know what they were missing and then there came Felicity and the characters and the show realized they were missing her.
Just have a thing for Katherine and her scheming ways.
One of my favorite things about Katherine. Always with a plan and a backup plan and even when she shouldn't win, she somehow does. And I love it.
no subject
Date: 2014-01-24 09:42 pm (UTC)Dean Winchester
My favorite same sex ship: I don't really slash Dean, but probably Dean/Castiel. I can see the chemistry that a lot of fandom sees and I do enjoy their dynamic.
My favorite opposite sex ship: Bela/Dean. I will always be sad that they didn't happen.
My most hated pairing: Dean/Sam. For obvious reasons.
My favorite same sex unusual ship: I....got nothing.
My favorite opposite sex unusual ship: Dean/Ruby. I shipped it in S3, I really did.
My favorite threesome/moresome: Hmmm...I've never really thought about this.
My favorite crossover ship: Dean/Chloe. Not that that should come as any surprise.
My favorite brotp/friendship ship: Him and Sam. A literal brotp.
Oliver Queen (Smallville)
My favorite same sex ship: I've been convinced of the possibilities of Oliver/Clark. That's probably the slashiest I get for him.
My favorite opposite sex ship: Oliver/Chloe. They had me at their hello in Clark's barn.
My most hated pairing: Oliver/Lana? I've seen the idea bounced around before, but I don't think he even really like Lana. Idk, maybe its just my head canon, but I don't think the two characters would work.
My favorite same sex unusual ship: Can I use Oliver and Clark again? (I femslash way more than I slash. I knew that already but this meme would definitely prove it to me if I didn't.)
My favorite opposite sex unusual ship: Unusual? I'm going to go with Oliver/Lois, just because I have limited female characters to work with and a lot of Chlollie shippers don't ship both. So its kind of unusual. (Though obviously I ship one more.)
My favorite threesome/moresome: Chloe/Oliver/Tess, for reasons listed above.
My favorite crossover ship: Oliver/Caroline Forbes. I haven't seen a lot for him, so this might be because of lack of choices. But still Caroline Forbes, not a bad choice for anyone.
My favorite brotp/friendship ship: Really him and anyone in the JL. And I really loved the friendship him and Tess had gotten back to at the end of S10.
(TBC)
no subject
Date: 2014-01-25 01:12 am (UTC)Can I smoosh you for this?! It's the exact same way I feel about slashing Dean and Dean/Castiel! I don't ship it, I don't slash Dean but I CAN see why so many do and why especially Dean/Castiel.
Though for the opposite sex Dean pairings (except the crossover one of course) I have different choices, though I can understand your love for both of your choices, I'd just list Dean/Jo as my favorite opposite sex ship for Dean limited to the Supernatural world, in a lot of ways they remind me of my headcanon Chloe/Dean but also mainly because it's pretty much the only one I could have seen last, whereas I don't think that Dean and Bela would be able to make it work in the long run though they would make for a rather hot short term relationship. And well, I don't tend to ship Dean with supernatural creatures, because for me it goes too much against his nature but their bickering was quite chemistry loaded, then again Jensen has chemistry with everybody and everything, imhvbo (dude has mad chemistry with a freaking car! and obviously Dean/Impala is one of the greatest relationships of the show).
As a crossover choice for Ollie, how about Alex? Just a thought. (I might be considering it for you now what) ;)
no subject
Date: 2014-01-25 08:12 pm (UTC)I agree, I don't really see Dean/Bela as an endgame kind of couple. Its just not who they are as people or who they could be together. They're relationship would be incredibly different. But I LOVED their dynamic and how they played off of each other and I think they could have been a fabulous thing if only the show had let them go there. But I never saw it as a long term ind of thing. And if it was, it would be with long stretches of not talking/seeing one another and not really being upset by that. If I had had another category I probably would have include Dean/Jo because I do enjoy them but they didn't fit the categories. Also, Dean/Impala, totally one of my ships too. And definitely one of the best relationships on the show.
LOL, its funny you suggested her for that because I have her down for Oliver from Arrow. I've been trying to come up with an idea for a story for them for a while now. I never really considered her and Oliver from SV before. Now I shall have to think on this. :D
no subject
Date: 2014-01-25 10:13 pm (UTC)Yeah, the show could have had them at least have that angry hate sex Bela suggested. ;) And yeah, how you describe them is exactly the most I could imagine for them in the long run. Well, you can always include another categorie next time. :P Dean/Impala is such a beautiful relationship, Dean's constant. <3
Hah, our brains connection is at it again. :D Obviously I don't know Oliver from Arrow, so I can't tell with which version Alex would fit better with or maybe equally as well with both but I think she would fit really well with SV's Ollie as well (imo, better than Caroline). Anyway, in both cases Ollie and Alex would make for quite the power couple, billionaire it couple by day - vigilante power team by night.
no subject
Date: 2014-01-27 11:40 pm (UTC)I know, right? I was waiting for it, I don't why it didn't happen. I mean she couldn't have said it more clearly. Yeah, if they were a long run/end game couple they would not be traditional one. Their relationship wouldn't make sense to really anyone, but it would work, and they would go off and do their own thing and sometimes cross paths accidently and piss each other off leading to angry sex and sometimes meet up on purpose. They would make it up as went along basically.
LOL, well I was just following the set meme. Maybe they'll fit into the next one. :P It is a beautiful relationship.
For me, she would fit better with Arrow's version just because Arrow's Oliver is a bit darker, (Not that SV's couldn't go that way) but I can see her with Smallville's version too. Its just harder, because well, Chloe. (It was hard coming up with Caroline or anyone, because Chloe. But I can see Caroline, both pre island and post island for him. IDK it makes sense in my head anyways.) But yes, they would make an awesome power couple, in so many different ways.
no subject
Date: 2014-01-28 09:23 am (UTC)Basically, Bela and Dean would have a very sexual relationship and if either one of them should ever settle down, which is very unlikely, it would most likely not be with each other.
Well, obviously I don't have quite the Chloe caused reservations for shipping Smallville's Ollie with somebody else, he's actually one of the few male characters I support multiple ships for and I think Alex and him would work really well too because he does know darkness too and would be able to understand hers and take it with the whole package but at the same time also provide a bit of lightness and put a smile on her face with his special brand of humor when she needs it. (You do realize how young Caroline was pre island do you? ;) Though obviously Alex is I think around the same age as Caroline but with everything she's been through pre-show, she just seems older, imo (though I guess that's also due to how the shows are written they're on). And I don't know I have a hard time picturing Ollie with a vampire (or any supernatural being for that matter). Now, I kinda consider it a challenge to try and come up with a really good Ollie crossover pairing. Maybe Ollie and Faith? Though I guess in that case the, like you said, darker version of Arrow would really fit better. You could go with Ollie and a grown up more mature Dawn. :) Or maybe Ollie and Natasha Romanoff, imagine the snark!
no subject
Date: 2014-01-31 06:10 am (UTC)See, this is where we differ considering our different views on Chlollie. Apparently my brain is hardwired so that Chloe can be with lots of different people, but for Ollie its pretty much Chloe or no one. I'd say I'm sorry, but I'm not really. Purplemoon agreed with me though, so you know, I'm not alone. XD But the more you talk about it, the more I can see him and Alex together and it definitely makes sense. And Alex does have a thing for heroes, even if she doesn't really know it imo. (LOL, well timelines often get changed in crossovers, this would be one of those cases, because yeah, Caroline would be super young if I stayed strictly with the timeline and pre-island wouldn't be a possibility. But that's the wonder of crossovers, timelines and all other kinds of things can be changed. XD) I think by the end of Nikita Alex would be older according to the show's timelines, but not by all that much. She was 19 I think in the first season and Caroline's 19 now on the show. I actually can see Oliver accepting a vampire like Caroline, one who doesn't hurt people and drinks blood bags, considering how accepting he is of the meteor infected and the rest of the team. I mean, he's used to be one of the few non-superpowered, so Caroline wouldn't really be new to him, just different. But I also enjoy crossovers where Caroline stayed human (as much as I love Vamp Caroline) and she would grow older outwardly as well as inwardly that way, so that might help for you. (Though since Candice is actually like 26 I think, that helps for me as well.) But then, I feel like I'm trying to convince you to ship it, but I totally understand why you would not. This is more why I'd ship it.
I'd love to see who you'd come up for him, because I found it a total challenge, but I had Chloe in my way, so it would be interesting to see someone who wouldn't. I'm not sure about Faith or Dawn (no matter how much I love them both), but I could definitely see a Natasha/Ollie ship. Like you said, all that snark, and I think Ollie's totally enamored with women who beat him in fights (verbal or physically) and she totally fits that bill.
no subject
Date: 2014-01-31 03:57 pm (UTC)Don't be sorry, that's how I am with pretty much all of my Chloe ships and most of my other ships, too - I multi-ship the female in the relationship but the guy is for that girl only. Which just tells you we clearly have our priorities straight. See, I'm convincing. ;) Though in all honesty, you're probably just more persuadable than me. I can be very stubborn in my opinions. And it's not that I don't think Ollie wouldn't be accepting of the supernatural or a supernatural being as his partner/girlfriend whatever you wanna call it, it's just that I think it would look weird to me, and okay, maybe with timeline cheating it would make sense. And I get that Candice actual age helps you with picturing it, the fact that Allison is actually Jared's age does help me pretend that Chloe is Sam's age and not four years younger like the shows tell us. You can see my Chloe bias lets me bend the rules for her a lot more than any other character. Well, if you want you can ship Ollie with whomever you want, I'm certainly not stopping you. ;) Caroline would just not be my first crossover choice for him. Alex makes for a good one, and yes, from the other ones I think Natasha makes the most sense too, Faith and Dawn were just starting points and not actually choices I personally would consider, but you know just throwing names out there seeing which one stick. ;)
Well, I was thinking of maybe doing this meme as well...
no subject
Date: 2014-01-27 08:57 am (UTC)I guess I'm smooching you and Sunny, cuz I don't slash Dean but I can see why people ship Dean/Castiel.
My favorite opposite sex ship: Oliver/Chloe. They had me at their hello in Clark's barn.
Ohhh yes!! Those big smiles!! *sigh*
Oliver/Caroline sounds interesting but I can't.
This might sound weird but I can't ship Oliver with anyone but Chloe yet I multi ship Chloe like wow!! I know I'm weird
no subject
Date: 2014-01-28 01:19 am (UTC)So much smooching happening. XD But I love how similar all of our thoughts are on Dean and Dean/Castiel.
Oh, I totally understand. The amount of people I ship Chloe with...Well, I don't even know how high of a number it is. But with Oliver its always really been Chloe for me and no one else. So I struggled with trying to find a crossover I could accept. But I've seen a vid or two of him and Caroline that intrigued me and made me think they could work in some sense. (And in my head she uses her vamp powers to fight crime. XD) But its not like an endgame ship or anything, more just temporary. Also the meme said I needed a crossover couple. ;D
no subject
Date: 2014-01-25 08:00 pm (UTC)Oliver Queen (Arrow)
My favorite same sex ship: I guess Oliver/Diggle. I don't usually read it that way, but I love that Diggle was the first person he revealed himself too and the way that he understands him in so many ways that others don't. They've both been to different hells and come back and that only brings them closer.
My favorite opposite sex ship: Oliver/Felicity. Again, I think there's an understanding there. And she makes him smile, she was the first person on the show to truly for no reason other than he was amused make her smile.
My most hated pairing: I wasn't a big fan of Oliver/Helena as a couple. They had their good moments and I liked her character, but it just didn't work for me. (I probably wouldn't say I hated it though.)
My favorite same sex unusual ship: Again, I'm not so good with the slash apparently.
My favorite opposite sex unusual ship: Oliver/McKenna. Idk if its really an unusual ship, but its one I enjoyed on the show and haven't seen a lot love for. She was my favorite of Oliver's onscreen romances so far.
My favorite threesome/moresome: Felicity/Oliver/Diggle. Again, its like a built in OT3.
My favorite crossover ship: Oliver/Alex Udinov. I just think it would work so perfectly. Both billionaires by day who fight crime by night. They're both survivors with huge amounts of survivor guilt. And they both put on the face of who the world thinks they are and let only a few people see the real them. I just love all the parallels and think it could work.
My favorite brotp/friendship ship: Oliver and Thea. Their relationship is one of my favorites on the show and I wish they would spend more time focusing on it. (Shout out to Oliver and Tommy, because I loved their relationship too.)
Klaus
My favorite same sex ship: Klaus/Stefan. Very screwed up, but I was always intrigued by their relationship in the 1920s.
My favorite opposite sex ship: Caroline/Klaus, for reasons listed above.
My most hated pairing: Klaus/Katherine or Elena. So many reasons that they should never happen.
My favorite same sex unusual ship: I don't think I have another one...
My favorite opposite sex unusual ship: Hmmm, I've grown to really like the Klaus/Hayley dynamic on The Originals. Its not a traditional ship imo, its not even romantic or anything along those lines, but I like how they play against each other and how there's more there under the surface between them.
My favorite threesome/moresome: Caroline/Klaus/Stefan
My favorite crossover ship: I'll have to think on this one.
My favorite brotp/friendship ship: Klaus+Rebekah+Elijah.
no subject
Date: 2014-01-27 09:12 am (UTC)My favorite opposite sex ship: Oliver/Felicity. Again, I think there's an understanding there. And she makes him smile, she was the first person on the show to truly for no reason other than he was amused make her smile.
That's my biggest reason for shipping Felicity/Oliver. In the first couple of episodes he was so grim and rarely smiled. And she titled her head snarking away and he couldn't' help but smile. The funny thing it reminds me of chlex. Well at least my reason to shipping Chlex. Don't remember the episode but it's when Chloe interviews Lex at the mansion and Clark is supposed to be recording and he messes up and Chloe gets snarky and Lex can't help but smile/laugh
Not really watching The Originals. But when I I do watch I tend to get more Hayley/Elijah vibes.
no subject
Date: 2014-01-28 01:28 am (UTC)I never really thought of the Chlex parallels but now that you mentioned it, I can totally see what you mean. Lex was totally amused by her snark/wit/obvious thoughts about Clark in that moment and I always loved that. And he was totally intrigued by this girl who didn't care who he was. I'm telling you, blonde tech girls. They make all the guys stand up and notice sooner or later.
The show is definitely going for the Hayley/Elijah thing and I can see it and enjoy it most of the time. But I like the relationship she's developing far slower with Klaus too. She still hates him a lot of the time, but they have similar thought patterns and goals and its interesting to see them interact. Like I said, IDK if I'd considered it really a romantic ship, more of an alliance and I'm interested where they'll go with it.

no subject
Date: 2014-01-27 11:19 pm (UTC)My favorite same sex ship: Strictly Buffyverse....Dawn/Faith. I've read some fic and it convinced me of the possibilities.
My favorite opposite sex ship: Dawn/Spike, I always enjoyed their dynamic and I like the idea of Dawn having relationships that are complicated and dubious and more about her than the other person. And Dawn/Spike in my mind would always be about Dawn. (Basically all the things you said in your wonderful meta, just in a slightly more relationship-y way.)
My most hated pairing: Dawn/Xander.
My favorite same sex unusual ship:
My favorite opposite sex unusual ship: I don't know if I'd ship it, but I'd love to have see something with her and Connor. That exploration of their existence and what it means, what their purpose was and what life is like after.
My favorite crossover ship: Dawn/Elena Gilbert. I love parallels too much and just. So many parallels and I want them to meet.
My favorite threesome/moresome: Elena/Dawn/Caroline. Okay, this might be cheating, but you know. Think of the wonderfulness and how they would balance each other and have so much fun and yet understand all those things underneath.
My favorite brotp/friendship ship: Dawn and Buffy will always be my favorite relationship, but I also really love her and Tara and I don't think it gets enough credit.

Date: 2014-01-28 01:53 am (UTC)Now, onto the meme. As seen above, it will probably take several comments to get done. XD
Tess Mercer (Yay Tess! I don't get to talk about Tess nearly enough.)
My favorite same sex ship: Tess/Chloe. Also my favorite Tess ship in general. I just, their dynamic was so perfect and they had so much wonderful wasted chemistry. And I mean seriously, in Sacrifice, it looked like they were going to kiss a couple times. (As they should have.)
My favorite opposite sex ship: Tess/Clark. (Though I hated the way he treated her at times and was never called out on it, this ship only works for me when they're on more even footing and Tess finally gets to the point she can call him out for things in S10. I also ship them in Luthor!Verse, but its probably mostly head canon and less canon.)
My most hated pairing:
My favorite same sex unusual ship: Tess/Lana. All there interactions in S8 were wonderful IMO.
My favorite opposite sex unusual ship: Ummm...Can I slip in that I also ship Tess/Lois instead?
My favorite threesome/moresome: Chloe/Tess/Oliver. I would also accept Lois/Tess/Clark. I think either would work. But I have a preference for her and Chloe. ;D
My favorite crossover ship: Tess/Bruce. I'd like to see how it would play out, I think it would be interesting to see. Also I'm intrigued by Tess crossing over into the TVD universe because of her playing Sage. I just don't know who I'd pair her up with.
My favorite brotp/friendship ship: I really like where she and Oliver ended up in S10. Putting he past behind them and becoming friends.
Whitney Fordman
My favorite same sex ship: Okay, apparently I'm just a terrible slasher. I have tons of femslash ships but so few slash ships. Clark/Whitney, I guess? He didn't have a lot of interaction with any of the other main male characters and I did like that they came to an understanding in the end after starting off so rocky.
My favorite opposite sex ship:Whitney/Chloe. Okay, this is where my Chloe bias comes in, but I love what little interaction we got from them and I've read fic that has totally convinced me that they could have worked and it would have been awesome.
My most hated pairing: Ummmm...
My favorite same sex unusual ship: I guess him and Jason could have bonded over having and lost Lana to the doom of the Clark/Lana triangle.
My favorite opposite sex unusual ship: Not unusual, because its canon, but Lana/Whitney. They don't seem to get a lot of love in any parts of the fandom. Poor Whitney so often forgotten.
My favorite threesome/moresome: Chloe/Whitney/Lana. It could have been a thing I guess.
My favorite crossover ship: Hmmm, would you accept Caroline for this one? I haven't really seen any Whitney crossovers (if you have point me in their direction), but I think Whitney/Caroline would work. Head cheerleader and the quarterback, both familiar with the weirdness that happens in small towns, and Caroline would put up with none of his bullcrap if he was still in that phase of his life.
My favorite brotp/friendship ship: Can I use Whitney and Lana again? I really loved the relationship they developed towards the end of S1 and it was just as much about friendship as it was anything else.
no subject
Date: 2014-01-28 09:43 am (UTC)Haha, I LOVE your Whitney answers! Yes, to him and Jason bonding over the Clana curse. And yes, I would accept Caroline for this one, they could be a better Caroline/Matt and Whitney/Lana version. It helps that Smallville also had it's high school years, because I generally have a hard time shipping Caroline with men in their late twenties/somewhere in their thirties from other shows. And I'm not much of a slasher either, even if in a lot of cases can see why somebody would ship it, it's normally just not my cup of tea, besides I try not to ship anybody against their sexual orientation. (with a few exceptions of course but then I usually consider them crackships.)
And I agree, I liked how they developed Lana/Whitney towards the end of season 1, only for them to screw it up again in season 2 only to go full force with the depressing triangle.
no subject
Date: 2014-01-31 06:25 am (UTC)Yay! I'm glad you liked them. And thinking about it now, I totally love the idea of him and Jason talking about he Clana curse. We could throw in a few other guys as well, they could have a support group or something. And we finally agree on a Caroline pairing. XD
I loved what they did with them at the end of S1, if only they hadn't sent him off never to return again. I mean, I liked the storyline of him going off to do something for himself, something that mattered and connected him to his father, but I hated that it was the end of his story and that when we did see him again, it wasn't actually him. I mean he did escape the "goes crazy" storyline that most of Smallville's original characters got, but he still didn't escape the death part. (Smallville really needed to learn how to write out characters in ways that didn't involve death. They never really got a handle on that. The only two that escaped it were Lana and Martha and there was never really a chance of that.)
no subject
Date: 2014-01-31 03:25 pm (UTC)haha, a support group in the afterlife. sorry. Yes, well, we also agree on Steroline, I DO multi-ship Caroline in the confines of the show, basically with all the vampires, even Damon though obviously that involves some head canon conditions. I'm just not really into any Caroline crossover ships (mostly because my Chloe bias far surpasses any Caroline bias, meaning that I would prefer Chloe/whoever from another show to Caroline with that person. See we both let our Chloe bias get in the way of other possible pairings.).
Yes, Whitney's was always my favorite character exit and acutally send off as well, if he had to die because of the curse at least he went out in such a way that didn't destroy the character. Also, Pete got to leave alive as well, also Kara.

Date: 2014-01-28 08:24 am (UTC)Jo Harvelle
My favorite same sex ship: Jo/Anna. I've seen a few things for this and really, they would just make a kick ass team.
My favorite opposite sex ship: Jo/Dean. (See we finally got a mention. ;D)
My most hated pairing: Don't think I really have one. But I think I'd have trouble shipping her with any demons, just wouldn't make sense for my head canon of Jo. Though admittedly with the right writer, I could possibly be convinced. (There are some really persuasive fic writers out there.)
My favorite same sex unusual ship: Ummm...Jo/Jess? Though I'd probably like them more as friends, but you know, whatever.
My favorite opposite sex unusual ship: Jo/Castiel. I love all their interactions in 5x10 and I think there's definite potential there.
My favorite threesome/moresome: I guess Dean/Jo/Castiel. Or maybe Anna/Jo/Castiel. Now I'm not sure.
My favorite crossover ship: Jo/Chloe. This is not my fault. Someone prompted it for a fic exchange and I wrote them and now I ship it. My Chloe bias was not at fault. This one time.
My favorite brotp/friendship ship: I LOVED Jo and Ellen's relationship on the show. All the fighting and wonderful normal mother-daughter stuff with a supernatural spin. And that when Jo left to go hunting Ellen followed, letting her daughter do her thing, but being there to watch her back. (Also, a shout out to Sam and Jo too. They had some really good moments. I may also ship them too...)
Sam Winchester
My favorite same sex ship: Ummm....Again, don't really slash him, but I'd go with Sam/Castiel. I love their relationship and how far they've come and how they understand one another. And I always love Castiel's "Sam Winchester does not die."
My favorite opposite sex ship: Sam/Jess or Sam/Sarah. Can I pick both as favorites? Like past and present (ignoring certain canon points)?
My most hated pairing: I don't hate it, because hey ship what you're gonna ship, but all the Sam/Gabriel love fandom has kind of confuses me. Gabe turned out to be on their side, but before that he tortured Sam killing Dean over and over again, never letting him rest or save him. And nothing after that made me see potential there. IDK, maybe someone will explain it to me eventually.
My favorite same sex unusual ship: Ummm....
My favorite opposite sex unusual ship: Sam/Jo. Like I said, they had some nice moments of understanding that I enjoyed.
My favorite threesome/moresome: Jess/Sam/Jo. I don't know why, it just seemed to make sense in a universe where Jess lived. (Its late and I should be in bed.)
My favorite crossover ship: Favorite? Sam/Caroline. I read a fic (that didn't center around them at all, but had a fair amount of them) and it convinced me. (I've also read my fair share of Sam/Chloe, I'll admit it, but it doesn't have my love the same way Chloe/Dean does.)
My favorite brotp/friendship ship: Sam and Dean, always my favorites. But I also really love his relationship with Kevin (and as mentioned above Castiel).
(TBC)
no subject
Date: 2014-01-28 01:04 pm (UTC)Lol, for some reason my first reaction to Jo/Anna was, Anna? but that would be a crossover (thinking of TVD's Anna for some reason before I got my AAAH!!! she's talking about the angel Anna). But yeah, I guess they would make for an interesting pairing, Jo/Bela would be interesting too though, I think and Jo and Sarah too, though they could work simply as kickass hunting partners as well. :) Hah, we snuck Jo/Dean in there, go us! And I agree I can't see Jo/Any demon either, for pretty much the same reasons I can't see Dean and supernatural creatures as something romantic. haha, well, if it's a pairing that for me doesn't make any sense I don't usually read fanfic for them, so it doesn't matter how well written some of the stuff for them is, it won't be able to persuade me. :P
Jo/Castiel is definitely interesting, even though I'm not much of a Castiel/anybody romantic shipper, or I guess I should say Castiel/sexual ship shipper. Jo/Chloe definitely would have quite a bit to bond over and would just be kickass. :) And omg, I love the realness of the Jo/Ellen relationship. <3
I gotta admit, I personally find Sam/Castiel more intriguing than Dean/Castiel and imo, their relationship is just as tension loaded as Dean and Castiel's, though obviously a different kind of tension, one that personally I'm just more comfortable with for some reason. The overly loaded Dean/Castiel scenes sometimes get on my nerves these days.
Yes, Sarah is still alive, and that's actually my answer for opposite sex Sam pairing(s) as well. <3
And I would have enjoyed Jo/Sam. Jess/Sam/Jo sounds interesting, though I wonder if Sam could handle the combined force of both of them. ;)
Well, I can see Sam/Caroline more than most other Caroline crossover ships, if for no other reason than that Sam loves his supernatural creatures like Dean doesn't. ;) (just so you know I'm not really all that into any TVD crossovers, the only one that I can really get behind is TVD/Teen Wolf and sadly TVD kinda put a big damper on my Caroline love (and any love I had for any of the characters), mainly due to the whole Forewood focus that annoyed the crap out of me and me not having a solid headcanon!Caroline to get me through it, the way that my headcanon!Chloe sustained my love throughout all the seasons of Suckville no matter how much I disliked some of the stuff that was written for her.) (and obviously you know that I absolutely agree with Chloe/Dean >>> Chloe/Sam. :D Though Chloe/Sam make for hot fanart. :P)

Date: 2014-02-02 10:38 pm (UTC)Stefan Salvatore
My favorite same sex ship: Stefan/Klaus. It was totally a thing back in the 1920s, they flirted and everything.
My favorite opposite sex ship: Stefan/Caroline. OTP baby. Friends turned into something more, a trope I always love, and with such a perfect set up from the pilot. And Caroline can always make him smile and he's always there to help her. And there's a lot of complexities and complications involved, but they should be endgame.
My most hated pairing: Ummm...I don't know if I have one. I think Stefan/Katherine has lots of problematic aspects to it that people forget (because of the compulsion and how she used him back in 1864 is basically the same way Damon used Caroline in present time) but if you factor that in, it doesn't bother me.
My favorite same sex unusual ship: I don't know if I have one...
My favorite opposite sex unusual ship: Stefan/Elena. Its not actually unusual, but most people who ship him and Caroline don't like the ship, so its unusual in its own way I guess. Also Stefan/Rebekah. I could have done with more of them.
My favorite threesome/moresome: Caroline/Stefan/Klaus.
My favorite crossover ship: Stefan/Blair Waldorf. It would be so interesting.
My favorite brotp/friendship ship: Stefan and Lexi. I am happy whenever she reappears and LOVE her first episode. SO perfect.
Jeremy Gilbert
My favorite same sex ship: I loved all the Jeremy/Tyler stuff we got back in the day. I wish they had held onto that kind of friendship thing they had.
My favorite opposite sex ship: Jeremy/Bonnie. And its actually canon.
My most hated pairing: I've seen people ship him and Damon together and just no. I'm sorry, but no.
My favorite same sex unusual ship: The Jeremy/Kol dynamic was interesting. I would have liked to see more about their time in Denver.
My favorite opposite sex unusual ship: Jeremy/Caroline. Its the scene where she invites him to the party in S1 that convinces me of it. And how she makes the picnic for him an Elena at the end of S2. He's not just Elena's little brother, he's Jeremy, and that's why he's important.
My favorite threesome/moresome: Bonnie/Jeremy/Caroline/Tyler? They should have at least gone out on double dates. I'm just saying.
My favorite crossover ship: I don't have one. So I'm just going to say I shipped Jeremy/Anna too.
My favorite brotp/friendship ship: I love his and Elena's relationship, as complicated as it is. Also, him and Alaric who he still sees even as a ghost. Also, him and Jenna. The time she throws the apple at him will never not be amazing.
Hardison
My favorite same sex ship: Hardison/Eliot. Kind of by default (because I honestly see them more as brothers), but I do get why people ship it. And I like their antagonist but totally love one another relationship.
My favorite opposite sex ship: Hardison/Parker. They did have a lot of good scenes, my favorite being when he tells her he liked the way she turned out. So sweet.
My most hated pairing: I don't think I have one. Maybe I'm just not as in touch with the fandom as I should be.
My favorite same sex unusual ship: Hmmm...
My favorite opposite sex unusual ship: I would have liked more Hardison/Tara interaction.
My favorite threesome/moresome: Parker/Hardison/Eliot. OT3 built right into the show.
My favorite crossover ship: Not like shippy, but how awesome would he and Birkoff be as hacker buddies? Or rivals? IDK, either way it would be awesome.
My favorite brotp/friendship ship: Since I already used his relationship with Eliot, I'm going to go with his relationship with Nate. How he sort of mentored him and taught him what he knew and unknowingly to Nate, Hardison did the same for him.

no subject
Date: 2014-02-02 10:16 pm (UTC)My favorite same sex ship: Buffy/Faith. I like the idea of them understand each other in ways other can't.
My favorite opposite sex ship: I'm probably really weird, but I don't have a favorite Buffy ship, canon wise at least. I like all her ships at the time they come about, they make sense to me for the time period. So I go back and forth with it.
My most hated pairing: I'm really not big on Buffy/Xander.
My favorite same sex unusual ship: Buffy/Cordelia. They SO got one another and they never even realized it. I was always sad Buffy didn't get to see the champion that Cordelia became in LA.
My favorite opposite sex unusual ship: Hmmm...Buffy/Oz? IDK I don't really have anything for this, but I loved what little we got of their interaction. So mostly I would have just wanted more of that. Not necessarily romantic.
My favorite threesome/moresome: Willow/Buffy/Xander. But in a platonic way. (Shhh, I'm breaking rules.)
My favorite crossover ship: Buffy/Sam Winchester. It should be a thing. (I've also seen some good Buffy/Clark Kent things.)
My favorite brotp/friendship ship: Buffy and Dawn is one of my favorite relationships on the whole show. I wish we had gotten more. (Also, Buffy and Giles and their perfectness that really wasn't perfect but I loved it.)
Ginny Weasley (This one was harder on me then expected. Most of my HP fandom love is directed towards Hermione in general and its been too long since I've read the books.)
My favorite same sex ship: Ginny/Luna? IDK. I haven't seen a lot femslash ships for her.
My favorite opposite sex ship: Ginny/Neville. Leaders of the rebellion at the school and he took her to the Yule Ball and yeah, I totally shipped it.
My most hated pairing: I don't hate it, but I've always wondered where all the intense love of Ginny/Draco came from. Its such a popular ship, but I don't know where it came from.
My favorite same sex unusual ship:See above.
My favorite opposite sex unusual ship: Its not unusual, cause its canon, but Harry/Ginny I guess.
My favorite threesome/moresome: Neville/Ginny/Luna. I love the idea of them being there own trio of outsiders from the "Golden Trio".
My favorite crossover ship: Hmmm...I'd kind of like to see her in the TVD universe, but I don't know who I'd pair her up with. Also maybe Ginny/Dan Humphrey. You know she has a thing for guys with dark floppy hair.
My favorite brotp/friendship ship: I loved her relationship with the twins.

Winifred Burkle! (Because you know you want to)
Rebekah Mikaelson
(and I hope you feel better soon!)
no subject
Date: 2014-02-01 01:44 am (UTC)Fred Burkle (YAY Fred! I don't get to talk about my Fred love nearly enough.)
My favorite same sex ship: I liked what little interactions we got with her and Willow. It would have been interesting to see more of them.
My favorite opposite sex ship: Fred/Wesley. There are just so many facets of their relationship that I love, the darkness and the lightness. The idea that they see each other at their worst and at their best and believe in each other. Its such a complex and wonderful ship, I don't understand why more of the fandom doesn't like it.
My most hated pairing: Ummm...I don't think I'd ship Fred/Connor?
My favorite same sex unusual ship: Fred/Faith, maybe?
My favorite opposite sex unusual ship: Fred/Angel. After she's gotten over her hero-worshipping stage of course, but in the later seasons when she's started to recover and they become more than just symbols to each other, but people. It would have been awesome.
My favorite threesome/moresome: Wesley/Fred/Gunn. Instead of just turning it into a triangle, just OT3 it and fix all the problems. :D
My favorite crossover ship: Fred/Sam Winchester? Or maybe Fred/Nick (Grimm). Apparently I like the idea of her with people who fight the supernatural.
My favorite brotp/friendship ship: I loved what we got of her relationship with Cordelia and always wished there was more of it. I also really love the relationship she developed with Spike in early S5.
Rebekah
My favorite same sex ship: Rebekah/Caroline. So much love for them and all their scenes together, I'm still sad we won't get more of them. (Or probably won't, as I don't think there will be a lot of crossovers.)
My favorite opposite sex ship: Rebekah/Stefan. I wasn't sold on the ship, but I was sold on the chemistry the first episode she appeared in and their relationship only got more interesting for me from there out.
My most hated pairing: Against like all of fandom, Rebekah/Matt. I am not a Matt fan and I kind of hated the way he treated Rebekah most of the time.
My favorite same sex unusual ship: Rebekah/Elena. Idk if that's unusual, but I liked their team up at the end of S4 and how they did reluctantly understand each other even before that.
My favorite opposite sex unusual ship: Rebekah/Tyler? The beginning of S3 had some good moments for them and they always hinted at a friendship between them that we didn't really get to see.
My favorite threesome/moresome: Caroline/Rebekah/Stefan, maybe?
My favorite crossover ship: Rebekah/Thor. I've seen some vids that totally convinced me of it.
My favorite brotp/friendship ship: Rebekah and Elijah. Its a complicated relationship but its all kinds of interesting to me.
no subject
Date: 2014-02-02 06:06 pm (UTC)Firstly, I always encourage Fred love, and all of your points are great. Fred/Willow would have made all kinds of sense (and they flirted, they really did), and Fred/Connor would have been gross. But Wes/Fred/Gunn would have been a wonderful fix - let's not forget how close Gunn and Wes were before Fred, they would have died for one another. That's love. And I would totally ship Fred and Faith. They could take over the world.
And now to Rebekah. You know that I'm loving her and Caroline, and the same goes for Elena (remember when emotionless Elena and her went off on their roadtrip and were basically screwing with Damon for the entire time? I SHIPPED THEM SO HARD.) And Rebekah/Thor? I love it, that sounds amazing (can you send me the links?)
So basically, thank you for putting into words all the things in my mind. This was awesome.
no subject
Date: 2014-02-02 09:22 pm (UTC)Fred love is one of the best loves and everyone should have it. I always love when Willow tells her she already kind of seeing someone and Fred's just like 'oh'. Its so cute. I also always loved the idea they were talking and no one else knew about it. (I have a headcanon that if things had been different and they were able to get a hold of Willow herself and not just Giles, Willow totally would have shown up in LA in A Hole in the World. Because she liked Fred.) Exactly? Why a need for a love triangle and such estrangement (though obviously more then Fred played into that), when they could have all just loved each other equally. It would have fixed everything and I love a good OT3 that works on all sides. I love the idea of Fred and Faith and I can totally see them taking over the world. Basically together they could have anything they wanted.
Same here! I loved Rebekah and Elena's roadtrip and how much they screwed with Damon. I mean the scene where they steal his car and drive away. Perfect. And I loved that Elena stayed with Rebekah once they were back in Mystic Falls.
Rebekah/Thor vids. Here's a few, but there's a fair amount more if just type in the ship.

Rebekah/Elena FTW! I'm gonna miss that. Claire and Nina had great chemistry - better than a lot of people they keep trying to pair the girls up with.
I haven't looked at the videos yet - excited, but haven't had time. Ugh, life needs to stop getting in the way of fandom.
no subject
Date: 2014-02-16 07:04 am (UTC)I love them too! And I totally agree, they are not used nearly enough. There should be more of them and they should be everywhere.
Rebekah/Elena are totally for the win. And yes, I loved their chemistry and I completely agree that it was better with the two of them than a lot of their other love interests. But then in general, I think Claire has really good chemistry with most of the girls but not all of the boys.
Understandable. Life is like that. I know that all too well. But I hope you enjoy them when you get to see them.
