Corner Gas is awesome. Davis and Karen are awesome. But as much as I love them together, if they were to be in a relationship I feel like their whole dynamic would just be thrown apart.
I also love that they acknowledged the shippers in the last episode. “Davis and Karen eventually fell in love and got married……..but not to each other.”
As much as I liked The Hunger Games, the romance arc just didn’t do anything for me.
Hatori is dating Kana, who is best friends with Mayu, who has a crush on Hatori, who is cousins with Shigure, who decides to date Mayu out of boredom. And it all works out in the best/worst way possible.
1) Incest. No. Sure, they’re just cousins, but biologically they’re half-siblings. I don’t care how fucked up the Hyuga clan is, one degree of separation is just no.
2) Pretty sure they only see each other as quasi-siblings. I.e. Neji-niisan.
3) Remember that time he almost tried to kill her?
I won’t deny that they have a wonderfully long and complex relationship. But I can’t ship them. I just can’t. Nejiten for life
This is 99% be due to the fact that Zutara is a far more popular ship than Maiko. But still.
I love the idea that these two, who had grown up together, can just be completely natural around each other. No expectations, no drama, no barriers. Sure, Zutara has intrigue, but Maiko has history.
I also love the hilarious amount of implied offscreen underage sex they probably had. Fruit tart? We know, Mai. We know.
To be completely honest, the awkward shipping in Korra was one of the things that irked me the most about the show (Or at least Book 1 at the time of this posting.) It felt unnecessary and underdeveloped.
“Ever since she came to Republic City, Korra has had eyes for only one man: Mako.” Wait I’m sorry mister narrator, when the hell did this happen?
“Yeah, but when you’re with her you’re thinking about me aren’t you?” Oh no you didn’t Korra.
“Where’s Korra?! Where are you keeping her?!” Woah there Mako, the chief just said that she wasn’t here you dingus.
Honestly, I feel bad for Bolin and Asami, who were caught in the middle of this shitshow.
Ahhh yes, the ship where literally everyone knows except for the two idiots who are involved.
They just care so much about each other, it was only a matter of time before they ended up together.
I started watching DBZ when I was just a wee lad, and the idea of shipping adults was still pretty foreign and kind of weird to me. I let B/V slide, under the premise that it was canon, and hey why the heck not.
Then I got older. My childhood memories slipped by the wayside, but I soon rediscovered them in a violent fit of nostalgia. More than a few smutty fanfics were read. And while my love for Gohan/Videl remained true, my passion for Bulma/Vegeta came to fruition.
Two incredibly stubborn, hard-headed individuals. A loyal, inquisitive genius human, and an egotistical warrior Saiyan prince. It seems natural that their friction would generate some degree of lust, which I have no doubt that that was the basis of their relationship initially, but over time they grew to care for each other more and more.
And eventually, Bulma would cry for the man who once fought against her friends, and Vegeta would sacrifice himself in a last ditch attempt to protect his family. They’ve come so far.
I’m probably going to get a hilarious amount of flack for this, but just hear me out.
Sakura is an intelligent and ridiculously talented ninja. She is dedicated and loyal to both Konoha and her friends. Which is exactly why she can do way better than a revenge-obsessed twat like Sasuke. Sasuke, who left Konoha to gain power and pursue his twisted goals. Sasuke, who never gave a rat’s ass about anybody but himself.
But I digress. I still maintain that Sakura’s silly childhood crush was just that, and that Sasuke is a self-centred twat.
I’ve been watching CTFxC almost since they started their daily vlogs (Day 23 if I do recall). A video every day for over four years strong, they taught me to cherish love and to find happiness in everything you do. They bring a little bit of fun to my day every day, and if it is indeed possibe to ship people in real life, these guys are my real-life OTP. CTFxC FTW.
First immortality, then the bitches.
