(Then the conversation turned evil.) Why did you do it to so many people?

[vergoldung]

The ~shipping list.

I have actually done something similar a few months back. It ended up being way too analytical, and sadly word-overload (mercilessly) takes all the fun out of these things. (PIus, since I keep changing my mind about ships and love to pick up new (and even worse) combinations, I was constantly editing my thoughts or adding explanations. Really, that's too much work on the long run. So no eloquent justifications this time. I will however update this list once in a while. Probably. I'm rather predictable.)

So. Since I have a weak mind, fail at hiatus and I'm easily influenced by my flist, this is my new list. Yay.

The formating is pretty simple. I list the fandom, the five characters I'm most crazy about (and obviously, these aren't the only characters I love, but five is a neat number), and my ships. Which I didn't restrain to a number. Because really. How could I ever choose fairly? There are fandoms where I don't have that many ships, but most of the time, I have too many of 'em. And it feels weird cutting it down to five or ten ships when I actively read for about twenty combinations (and passionately ship about fourty because, yes, HP fandom ruined my soul). I know that I have forgotten ships. Hell, I've certainly forgotten fandoms! (But for now, this should do fine. Besides, editing ftw.)

I think the bolding and underlining speaks for itself*, as far as my shipping frenzy goes. Speaking of frenzy, I ended up selecting a top ten ships. So if the length of this list (understandably) scares you, here goes the condensed version. With pictures and flail!
[Um, I am still working on it. But it will happen. Soon. Otherwise, just yell at me.]

Oh. Also. I have a fondness for kink!porn and dark!ships. Doomed things are the light of my nights. There are cases where I strongly dislike the ship but love reading about it's awfulness. That is enough for it to make the list. Yes. Basically, this list holds all things that capture my fannish attention, good or bad. So as long as you don't assume that this is representative of my romantic aspirations, we're good. If you're curious to know in which way I ship a pairing, feel free to pester me with questions (outraged accusations work too). But just to be clear, my definition of shipping is pretty loose. Sometimes I want happily ever after, most of the time I just want boning, often I want abusive-not-ever-after, I frequently dig unrequited, and on rare occasions I just want good ol' platonical love.

*And the brackets work like this : I ship the pairing (not the threesome, even if I sometimes also ship the threesome) but with the looming presence of the third person. That can mean that there is unrequited love towards that third person (from one or both), that the third person is dead but remains a haunting presence (that could go as far as inducing unconscious identity mix-ups by one party), or that one of the two is additionally involved with the third person (for example because if the third person is the spouse). In any case, when formated like that I am not interested in the triangle per se, but in the resulting issues of that evil set-up for the ship in question. Making the presence or absence of this third person essential to the dynamic. (I think the ships in question should speak for themselves.)

Let's get wild.

ETA : After one month this list is already lacking ten pairings or so. Ugh. What is it with HP fandom that makes me ship all things?

I am not going to update this (already embarrassingly long) list anymore, but bascially, if there's good fic, I ship it.

ok, go me. I am at least familiar with all of those :) I am so well educated :D we will defintely talk more details once I get home :)

I'll definitely need more instructions for some than others, but it all sounds very much doable. AND FUN :)

[vergoldung.livejournal.com]

awesome :DDD

♥

[fluffyfrolicker.livejournal.com]

looking forward to it <3

[fluffyfrolicker.livejournal.com]

YOU WATCH NEW GIRL AND SHIP CECE/SCHMIDT? :O THIS IS AMAZING WE WILL FLAIL OVER EVERYTHING IN SEASON 2.

[vergoldung.livejournal.com]

Haha. I do :) (And yes, we absolutely must!)

I'm just about to start working a bit. (Sometimes, I do that.)
But I started to write down some flail for the top ten :D I did five already.

[fluffyfrolicker.livejournal.com]

Yay! also I think I'll be home in about 3 or 4 hours. YAY YAY YAY!

[fluffyfrolicker.livejournal.com]

Also go you/work. I totall

[fluffyfrolicker.livejournal.com]

Also go you/work. I totally ship that.

[vergoldung.livejournal.com]

Ah you are the best and this is a good ship. A bit doomed, but I approve of your life choices ;)

[fluffyfrolicker.livejournal.com]

All of my ships are doomed, what can I say? :D

[vergoldung.livejournal.com]

You have good taste?

Are you home already? :)

[fluffyfrolicker.livejournal.com]

I do /shameless

YES. Life is good. I'm spamming all over LJ already and looking over prompts at Marta's ficathon and having other fic thoughts and picspam thoughts and such. I am the worst.

[vergoldung.livejournal.com]

Ooooh do tell :)

[fluffyfrolicker.livejournal.com]

well I'm thinking perhaps of doing a tiny rewatch of New Girl and doing a Cece/Schmidt and/or Jess/Nick favorite moments picspam kind of thing :D

also I have some D/E Elena's POV fic thoughts (of shabby motels and Damon's blood, mostly)

and some other D/E Damon's POV fic thoughts.

That's it, mostly :D

Oh and I have tons of icons to make. TVD :)

[vergoldung.livejournal.com]

This sounds good :DD

But what about crow? And Dan/Blair? And Serena/Carter? (I always remember, I told you.)

Also, I just saw that you posted like two hours ago. I fail at lj. Please forgive ♥

[fluffyfrolicker.livejournal.com]

ALL OF THAT TOO I KNOW I KNOW :D Damon has priority, because I promised it to Alex. ALSO OH MY the Elena&Katherine for Marta should be written as well. I only have like one paragraph so far. /shame

YES Serena/Carter I have an ~idea of sorts in my head :) Which is good.

Nothing to forgive ♥

[ever-neutral.livejournal.com]

omg JAYNE AND KAYLEE BLESS YOUR SOUL. :')

lol I never knew you cared for Voldy so. And yes to Lily/Severus BFF-ery, my soul. X(

Alaric and !life (that ship has sailed, hasn't it?)

You are terrible.

Also congratulations on your life decisions. We have one or two minor disagreements but on the whole, PEACE 'N' BLESSINGS 2 U.

[vergoldung.livejournal.com]

!! Jayne and Kaylee ♥ ♥ ♥


Haha, I am so passionate about Voldy. Don't even get me started. My babe ♥ But I hate all Voldy ships, I must say. I sometimes indulge in Tom ships, but the setting has to be very specific and no epic romances please. (Hence my liking of Bellatrix/Tom and my love-hate relationship with Ginny/Tom, which I often really hate but sometimes love with the power of ten thousands suns.)

I want to read all Lily/Sev with him being all about evil spells and she being crazy curious and him being like 'no no get away from this shit you are too good for this' and she being all 'whatever I'll be evil if I want to' and hex James' hair curly (or something). SERIOUSLY. All the fic with them plotting revenge against James and Sirius too. (OMG I WOULD SO READ A WAR BETWEEN THOSE FOUR. Remus can be conciliator!!! Waaaant. So much want.)


You are terrible.
OKAY LISTEN. I DESERVE TO BE TERRIBLE. I silently (not so silently) endured heart-attack after heart-attack since the middle of season 2 (when I thought he was going to die before or during the finale). AND THEN HE STILL FUCKING DIED ONCE HE WAS THE LAST ONE STANDING ETC ETC. HOW DARE THEY EVEN? IDK IDK. IT'S THE WORST. If he had died before I would have been traumatized still, but at least I could have dealt with it somehow. BUT HE WAS THE LAST PARENTAL FIGURE ALIVE AND THEN THEY KILLED HIM. BASTARDS. So much hate. (Also now nobody is going to write me epic 'ten years after' Alaric/Elena no more. I hate my liiiiiife.)

God, I am having so many dramaric Alaric feels lately. UGH. (I think it's because I stumbled upon this Alaric stanning tumblr that also shipped Alaric/Elena. Oh happy day this was.)


Also congratulations on your life decisions. We have one or two minor disagreements but on the whole, PEACE 'N' BLESSINGS 2 U.
LOL considering the number of ships, no disagreements would worry me. BESIDES. I already know that you ship Remus/Sirius, so disagreement was bound to happen between us. (Whyyyyyy? I do not understand this ship.*)

*Until yesterday? :P

To occupy myself during my breaks (that I so desperately need to stay sane - are you feeling the crazy yet?) I decided to re-read Prisoner of Askaban! FOR THE FIRST TIME IN SEVEN YEARS, YES. (I never understood why this was so many people's favorite book. Until now?)

SO MANY FEELINGS BRO. SO MANY. And since you are the first person I comunicate with in four days (yay?), let me overshare. (Isolation is so bad for me.)

I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE HAD SO MANY SHIPPY FEELINGS WHILE READING A BOOK. For real. I am fucking scared of my brain right now. Like, what is my problem? I was shipping so many things at the same time, it was almost confusing... But also, I had shippy feelings about ships I don't ship? WUT? I really dislike Harry/Snape, but I couldn't help but notice : WTF IS WITH THE UST DURING THAT OFFICE SCENE, JKR? (Is she for real?) I was quite uncomfortable with this unwelcome development and also having pervy thoughts, which no please no, not with them.

AND THEN, LATER, I ACTUALLY UNDERSTOOD THE REMUS/SIRIUS APPEAL? Crazy. Of course, I'm having shippy feelings at the most inappropriate time ever. (Fuck my brain, it's corrupted or something.) While they were fighting in the moonlight, the werewolf and the dog, all paws and claws. And me being like, OMG OMG SHIPPING IT SO HARD THIS IS HOT. (Oh dear.)

Also, how on were Harry and Draco in this book? I couldn't believe it. Is this really book three!? Amazing.

BUT SNAPE AND LUPIN THOUGH. I was already shipping the fuck out of this pairing, so I suppose that I am biased. A little. STILL. WHAT IS WITH JKR? I have sooo much head!canon for them now. It's as if she is secretly shipping too. I don't even have to twist canon to get my twisted romance to work. The best thing. (Snape is bringing Lupin's potion to his office (room), because he so hates his guts and once Black is back in the game everything goes to hell and Yes, hallelujah! Everything is the way I want it to be.) Bless this book.

(But weirder things happened. Like Snape/Dumbledore. SCRATCH THAT IMMEDIATELY. And I will stop now, because it could get worse.)

OH MY. OVERSHARING INDEED /o\ FORGIVE MY ENTHUSIASM? ♥

[ever-neutral.livejournal.com]

LOL BLESS THIS COMMENT

I LOVE TOM RIDDLE SHIPS. Bellatrix/Tom and Ginny/Tom are my ♥faves♥ :D

I want to read all Lily/Sev with him being all about evil spells and she being crazy curious and him being like 'no no get away from this shit you are too good for this' and she being all 'whatever I'll be evil if I want to' and hex James' hair curly (or something).

CREEEEEEEEEEYS WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY

There there re: Alaric. D:

lol, if it makes you feel any better, I'm not wildly passionate about Remus/Sirius. I enjoy their bro-ship and I've read good fic that has stirred shippy feelings. So, that's enough to be put on the + list. But I shall not shun you for not shipping them. ;)

I really dislike Harry/Snape, but I couldn't help but notice : WTF IS WITH THE UST DURING THAT OFFICE SCENE, JKR? (Is she for real?)

LMFAO OMG. I confess, there have been a few incidents where I've felt it. COMPLETELY UNWILLINGLY.

While they were fighting in the moonlight, the werewolf and the dog, all paws and claws. And me being like, OMG OMG SHIPPING IT SO HARD THIS IS HOT. (Oh dear.)

LMFAO OMG (again). I feel that tbh.

Also, how on were Harry and Draco in this book?

THEY ARE ALWAYS ON, FOOL.

SNAPE AND LUPIN LOL. Admittedly the most I've thought about them is while reading a hysterical crack!fic. But now that you mention it, there is quite a lot of room for a ship there. /strokes invisible beard

I HAVE A FRIEND WHO SHIPS SNAPE/DUMBLEDORE PRETTY SERIOUSLY. yana.

[vergoldung.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, if you love Tom/Bellatrix so then I'm sure you have the best recs \o/ Remind me that I want this once I'm done with my book? :)

So, that's enough to be put on the + list.

LOL I feel you my friend. Half of the ships on this list I ship quite backwards. (One-sided ships also ♥) A lot has made the list without me 'shipping it' the old-fashioned way. (See Stefan/Elena. I almost forgot to put them on the list, because I don't ship them at all in canon. But I read so much fic about them + have spent way too much time dissecting their dynamic. They are so relevant to my fannish interests that I just had to get them on this list. (I am doing the shipping part of the assignment all wrong, aren't I?)

Regarding Sirius/Remus, I am more than glad you aren't too serious about them. (Shunning could have ensued, yo!) After all, they are an unnecessary obstacle to my (only) OTP. So porn = yes, always. OTPing = getawayfrommenow. Although I do have a weakness for romantic!Remus/Sirius when it also involves in-love-with-his-best-friend-and-in-fierce-denial-about-it!Sirius. Especially if James is already with Lily. Sigh. (I am predictable.) But yes, I love their bromance so fucking much. And the little trust they have in each other just makes me love them more ♥

THEY ARE ALWAYS ON, FOOL.

I am such a fool, it's true. OF COURSE THEY BE ALL OVER EACH OTHER, ESPECIALLY AT THIRTEEN, WHAT WAS I THINKING. (Tbf I was more surprised that actual canon agrees with my pervy head!canon *squee*)


I HAVE A FRIEND WHO SHIPS SNAPE/DUMBLEDORE PRETTY SERIOUSLY. yana.

OMG IS THERE FIC!??? Because really. This is an awful ship, but the potential, omg omg. (Seriously. Snape is so in love with Dumbledore. Like he is so his bitch. So he of course does everything with a frown because he hates that he always does it because it's Dumbledore who's asking. And he despises all that Dumbledore glorification, because Snape knows people, and he knows that Dumbledore ain't no saint. He knows that Dumbledore is just fighting a war and that he is not above sacrifices and sacrifying. (He didn't expect him to send Harry to be slaughtered though. No that he didn't.) He hates how forgiving Dumbledore is, because that puts him in his debt and he hates being in somebody's debt, especially when they're Gryffindor. But he is still the closest to family he'll ever get and why, whythefuck, does he always have that ever-present urge to do well by him, that is just wrong. Isn't it?)

(Okay, I really need to stop getting carried away with HP flail here. My brother is reading the books right now, so I am all over the place! He loves them of course, good boy.)

[ever-neutral.livejournal.com]

Sadly I have no Tom/Bellatrix nor Dumbledore/Snape recs. /o\ I might go hunting today though.

See Stefan/Elena. I almost forgot to put them on the list, because I don't ship them at all in canon. But I read so much fic about them + have spent way too much time dissecting their dynamic. They are so relevant to my fannish interests that I just had to get them on this list. (I am doing the shipping part of the assignment all wrong, aren't I?)

I completely get you. In the top half of S3 they'd have been on my + list, no problem (because I actually did ship them then). And even though they're on my shit list now, I still masochistically spend a lot of time thinking and talking about them because, well, Elena. Even as my love for her means that I can no longer support the relationship, it also means that I have to keep trying to understand why SHE keeps trying to make a "safe" environment with a dangerous man who has spent most of the season abusing her. It's not pretty, but. THE THINGS I DO FOR LOVE.

OF COURSE THEY BE ALL OVER EACH OTHER, ESPECIALLY AT THIRTEEN, WHAT WAS I THINKING. (Tbf I was more surprised that actual canon agrees with my pervy head!canon *squee*)

TROLOLOLOLOLOL

Snape is so in love with Dumbledore. Like he is so his bitch. So he of course does everything with a frown because he hates that he always does it because it's Dumbledore who's asking... But he is still the closest to family he'll ever get and why, whythefuck, does he always have that ever-present urge to do well by him, that is just wrong.

LOL YES my friend explained all of this to me once. My eyes grew large.

[vergoldung.livejournal.com]

(Your friend is very wise.)

Omg omg look (http://xylodemon.livejournal.com/462705.html) what fouuunnd: Severus and Sirius fic! With the best background Remus/Sirius ♥ ♥ ♥. (Okay, okay. I lied. I ship it like ~mad when it's this abusive canon pairing (and isn't it, really? this ship is so huge most people treat it like canon), because omg it's the best thing!) My poor Remus though *pets him* Also it's one of the rare fics where I'm not totally squicked by James and Lily so that's a good point too. AND IT'S REALLY AWFUL AND SIRIUS IS THE GLORIOUS, SUICIDAL AND BLOOD-THIRSTY BASTARD THAT OWNS MY HEART. (You should read it.)

I'm leaving again for a while (I keep leaving lately, huh), but this time I'm actually leaving my appartment to be ship captain so \o/
YOU, HAVE FUN HUNTING AND READ ALL THE GOOD FIC ♥ And also don't forget to bookmark because I will need shiny things to brighten my days when I get back to work. (I'm the uber-whiny house-elf of the illumination department.)

[ever-neutral.livejournal.com]

LOL BLESS YOUR WEIRD-ASS RECS. *g*

Awww, come back soon! I'll certainly try to get my hands on good fic for you. ♥
