Meme!

I couldn't resist doing this one. I tried to make at least some of my answers different to [personal profile] ariadneelda's (too much overlap in our fandoms), and stuck to one pairing per fandom.

1. Think of up to 20 ships you support.
2. List them using descriptions of the characters involved rather than their names.
3. Have your f-list guess as many of the ships as they can.
4. Fandom hints will be given if asked in the comments.


1. The Well-Intentioned Leader Who Has Issues With Boundaries/ The Well-Intentioned Villain Who Has Too Many Feelings Xavier/Magneto
2. The Hero Feeling The Conflict Between The Weight Of The World And What They Want/The Other One, Who Just Takes What They Want Buffy/Faith
3. The Morally Dubious Demon Hunter Who Makes Scruffy Look Good/The Amoral Lawyer Who Makes Anything Look Good Wesley/Lilah
4. The Geeky Yet Hot Hacker/The Offbeat Cat-Burglar Hardison/Parker
5. The Self-Destructive Millionaire Alcoholic With Control Issues/The Consummate Boyscout Iron-Man/Captain America
6. The Mercenary Who Loves Weapons/The Girl Who Is A Weapon Jayne/River
7. Villains Fear His Witty One-Liners/Villains Fear His Epic Manpain Spider-Man/Daredevil
8. The Brash Young Hero In Dire Need Of A Hairbrush/The Duplicitous Antihero In Dire Need Of Some Hair Products Harry/Snape
9. The Plucky Little Budding Sociopath/ The Bastard Who Invented Emo In His Universe Arya Stark/Jon Snow
10. The Hero Whose Extraordinary Abilities Allow Him To Do Anything But Tell A Convincing Lie/ The Scientist/Business Mogul With (justifiable) Trust Issues Clark/Lex
11. The Detective With A Heroic Past Who Loves Booze and Cursing/ The Hero With The Unbreakable Skin Who Hates Authority And Loves Self-Destructive Women Luke Cage/Jessica Jones
12. The Egotistical, Philandering, Charismatic Talented Liar/The Mother Of The Year Don Draper/Betty Draper
13. The Competent And Sexy Linguist/The Emotionally Repressed Science Geek With Mummy Issues Uhura/Spock
14. The Deceptively Simple Tailor/The Deceptively Naive Doctor Garak/Bashir
15. The Lab Tech With The Dark Passenger/The Detective With The Big Mouth Dexter/Deb
16. The Ass-Kicking, Heavy-Drinking, Emotionally Fucked-Up Pilot/The Robot Who Can Talk Anyone's Head Off Starbuck/Leoben
17. The Whiny One Who Does A Passable Batman Voice And Won't Stay Dead/GOD Dean/Castiel
18. The Genius With The Social Malfuction/The Waitress With The Slight Drinking Problem Sheldon/Penny
19. The One Who Seeks The Truth/The One Who Seeks Actual Evidence Mulder/Scully
20. The Starship Captain/The Rational Crew Member Who Seeks To Understand Humanity (and no, not the ones you think) Janeway/Seven Of Nine

eta: And the answers! Considering my many, many fandoms, people had good guesses!

12. Good lord, I missed this one. Is that Don/Betty?

[identity profile] ishtar79.livejournal.com 2011-11-23 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
All correct except #17! (And I'm so happy somebody got Parker/Hardison, I don't think I've ever even mentioned Leverage in my lj).

And yes, DO IT. It's fun, though surprisingly frustrating (both coming up with pairings/descriptions, and guessing other people's).

[identity profile] ishtar79.livejournal.com 2011-11-23 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes! Betty's description is a bit of a giveaway. ;)

5)Yes!

1. Batman/Superman?
2. Steve/Tony?

[identity profile] ishtar79.livejournal.com 2011-11-23 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
2 is correct, and as for 1... (hint: wrong comics publisher)

[identity profile] ishtar79.livejournal.com 2011-11-23 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Steve/Tony is #5, obviously.

[identity profile] ishtar79.livejournal.com 2011-11-23 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL! That's correct! But I did enjoy your guesses. :P

Hmm...Dick/Bruce?

[identity profile] ishtar79.livejournal.com 2011-11-23 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope! (if it helps, it's not comics)
ext_6866: (Default)

Dean/Castiel?

[identity profile] ishtar79.livejournal.com 2011-11-23 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes! :)

Oh these are so funny! I have no guesses... (I did get Jayne/River of course, and I was thrilled you ship them too!) but I'm really enjoy reading everyone else's....

They FINALLY posted Dexter & Merlin (and Misfits) at my streaming video site... but my brother is here for Thanksgiving so I have to wait to watch them....

[identity profile] ragdoll.livejournal.com 2011-11-24 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
20. Picard/Data?

[identity profile] ishtar79.livejournal.com 2011-11-24 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I hope you're having a good Thanksgiving! I haven't watched this season of Misfits yet, but Dexter has been great.

[identity profile] ishtar79.livejournal.com 2011-11-24 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Actually, Janeway/Seven Of Nine. Nobody guessed it (I have the rest of the answers up too).

[identity profile] ragdoll.livejournal.com 2011-11-24 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I did think of Janeway but couldn't think of who in her crew fit the other bill. I have a mental block against Seven...then again, Voyager was the only Trek series I've ever given up on.
