Day 22: A pairing you hate and noone understands why.
Rachel/Jesse (GLEE)

I know there was collective joy among Glee fans when Jonathon Groff joined the cast, but I thought this relationship was really poorly written and Jesse/Groff didn’t seem to know what his motivation was from one moment to the next. Groff played it at points as though Jesse was genuinely falling for Rachel, but if that was the case then the ending of the pairing made no sense at all. It was all very strange and I’m glad he’s not been in the second series.

Day 23: A crazy love triangle/quadrilateral that worked out great.
Lois/Clark/Superman (LOIS & CLARK: THE NEW ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN)

 

Very few love triangles work out well, but this one has got to have the happiest ending I can think of. Of course, it helps (a lot) that Clark and Superman turned out to be the same person. But still, Lois got over Superman and fell for Clark before she figured it out, so I reckon even if they hadn’t been one and the same, this would still have worked out well.

Eric/Donna (THAT 70S SHOW)

There are so many possible choices here, but in the spirit of not repeating myself, I’ll go for Eric and Donna. Not a favourite ship of mine, but they are so sweet and realistic as a couple and whenever they were apart it just didn’t seem right. From the first time they sat on the hood of the Vista Cruiser to the last, I just wanted it all to work out for them.

Late again, sorry. I don't think anyone's setting their diary by this though, so I figure it's probably OK.

Day 17: A pairing you never thought would work, but did.
Jack/Ianto (TORCHWOOD)



The first time I watched Torchwood, it was when it was on TV. I only watched it casually, and if I remember correctly, I didn't watch any further than Random Shoes. Even so, I shipped Jack and Gwen from the first moment, though nowhere near as avidly as I do now. But Ianto...well Ianto I barely noticed. In Cyberwoman, I literally wondered where on earth he'd come from, seeing as I couldn't remember him from any of the previous episodes. And after Cyberwoman, I pretty much forgot about him again. So I remember being highly confused by the stopwatch scene at the end of They Keep Killing Suzie. What was going on? Why was the receptionist guy whose name I wasn't sure of suddenly propositioning Jack? It seemed completely out of the blue to me.

Fast forward to the middle of 2010, and I decided to watch Torchwood again, mostly because of James Marsters. And this time, I paid attention. And started to really love Ianto. And to notice the little moments between him and Jack. Now, Jack/Gwen is still very much my OTP, but this time around I wasn't at all surprised by the stopwatch scene...in fact, I kind of liked it. And I kind of liked every scene the two had together.

It's not a particularly popular view, but I don't think Jack/Ianto and Jack/Gwen are mutually exclusive. I think he loves/loved them both in different ways and although if I had to choose one, it would be Jack/Gwen every time, I do think Jack and Ianto had a lot of lovely qualities when they were together.

I also think the fandom has increased my love of them, particularly through fanfic. There's so little seen on screen, so there's so much that's open to interpretation, and one writer who is now on my f-list writes them in such a beautiful, amazing way (and with such regularity, hooray!) that it's made me adore them even more. She's pretty much created my ideal relationship through them, so it's definitely increased my shipping of them, even if it's not canon.

So there we are. And sorry karaokegal , I know you'll disapprove! ;)

Oh, and I hope all my f-list had a good Valentine's Day! In honour of it, and in honour of this post, have a candy heart, made for me by the lovely aviv_b !

 

I’m pretty new to the Supernatural fandom, having just got into the series over the last couple of months, but Jared and Jensen are both so gorgeous, and look like such great friends, that I can’t resist this pairing. Youtube videos of the two of them at conventions together have made me fall in love. (Oh and I mean this in a friendshippy way, not in a 'Wincest' way!)

Day 13: What is your favourite movie pairing?
Giselle/Robert (ENCHANTED)

I don’t really get excited about movie pairings in the way I do about TV relationships. I love watching them at the time, but I don’t tend to do the whole fanvids/fanfic/etc thing afterwards. Still, if I had to choose a favourite couple, it would definitely be these two. I love the actors, I love the film and I turned to absolute mush when they waltzed together. Beautiful.

Oh, and it's a nice excuse to post a pic of Patrick Dempsey in his PJs.

Question List

Day 11: What is your dream pairing?
Jack/Gwen (TORCHWOOD)

Day 11: the day I've been waiting for! I can’t even express how much I want these two to get together. I love both Jack and Gwen as characters individually, and together they are just a mass of amazing, sweet, sexy, intense energy. During the first episode of Torchwood I fell in love with their relationship, and I can barely understand why it was sidetracked and then seemingly forgotten about by the beginning of series 3. I have high hopes for series 4 though. If and when the day comes that they get together, I’ll be shouting from the rooftops. And from my journal.
