Fun times!

[lirazel]

My internet at home is not working. I cannot watch Doctor Who. Work is lame.

So what's the only thing that will make me feel better? Shipping, of course!

Stolen from inkstainedskin:

Pick 15 20 of your ships and write down a quote for each of them. Have your flist guess the ships without searching.


Hint: Only one couple per fandom. 15 TV shows, 3 movies, 2 book series.


1. "I would do anything for you. For both of you."
"Except for the one thing I asked you to do."

2. "He's not my boyfriend!"
"I'm not her boyfriend! ...They just don't get it."
"No, why would they? Let's go, baby."

3. "You should write a book...translating mad things girls do so boys can understand them."

4. "But I did what I thought was right. If it was a mistake, fine, I can live with that. It's you I can't live without."

5. "Do I look any different?" [long pause] "I do?"
"I'd have to see you naked."

6. "Your eyes are doing that thing where they don't match your mouth."
"I wasn't aware that robots got jealous. Did they update your software while I was away?"

7. "I'm doing it. But I'm not going to pretend to like it. Not now. Not down here. Up there I'll try my best to smile. But down here. I'm pissed. Okay?"

8. "I love the smell of testosterone in the morning."
"This is why I suggested attack dogs, but no, my mother wanted an Alpaca."

9. "Dear diary, it's that cute American again, and he's searching my desk. Does this mean he fancies me? It's so difficult to know what to say in these situations. One wants to be firm with him, but just a little seductive. Find out what the hell he's doing, but maybe encourage him a little. I need style, authority, and sex appeal." [If someone gets this one, I might fall over dead.]

10. "You were in my shoes, I was in your pants."

11. "You sleep with him?"
"Yeah."
"You coulda lied to me."

12. "How much effort am I worth?"
"I'd break a light sweat."

13. "Have you completely lost your mind?"
"Well, yes. Where have you been all night?"

14. "Oh, yeah! I definitely have to say it was her legs. You can put that down! Her legs, and right where her legs meet her back. That - actually that whole area. That and - and above it."

15. "'I wonder if I can ever make her care for me,' he thought with a pang of self-distrust."

16. "Have you got something to tell me?"
"Um, I dunno. I like your hair? No. Your top's nice. I love you? Any of those?"
"No."

17. "Pretty girl."
"Yes. She's a very nice type."
"You got types?"
"Only you, darling. Lanky brunettes with wicked jaws."
[Someone make my day and get this one!]

18. "I happen to like nice men."
"I'm a nice man."
"No, you're not."

19. "It just occurred to me that we are very fortunate to have good teeth."
"Yes, very fortunate."
"Can you imagine if braces were involved in this interaction?"
"It would be a bloodbath."

20. "How do you know I'm a nice girl?"
"'Cause of your smile, I guess. You can tell a lot about someone by the way they smile."

8. HELL YEAH S1 LOGAN/VERONICA

Also, I don't know 5, but it made me laugh irl.

ETA: OH OH OH AND 14 IS WASH ABOUT ZOE.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

DING DING DING DING! 2 points to the pretty lady!

Once somebody figures 5 out, I'm going to tell you what it is and MAKE YOU WATCH IT. Trufax!

[hkath.livejournal.com]

I'm such rubbish at these. They *all* sound familiar but of course I'm not anywhere close to identifying any of them. Except these two:

1. Victor/Sierra
5. Jesse and Celine from Before Sunset <333

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

I'm usually pretty terrible at them myself, but they're such fun to make!

1. Correct!

2. I LOVE YOU! Since ineffort isn't around much these days, I didn't know if anyone would get that one. YOU MAKE ME HAPPY!

[ava-leigh-fitz.livejournal.com]

:( I hope you get to see it soon! And ugh, I hate it when the internet refuses to cooperate.

1. Tony/Priya
3. Ron/Hermione - oh Ron. Even if I ship it as OT3, they are adorable and rubbish all at the same time.
6. Chuck/Blair
8. Logan/Veronica right?
9. Okay, so I've never watched it but it sounds British and obscure and televisual thus I conclude someone from Press Gang
13. Buffy/Spike
14. Zoe/Wash
17. NICK/NORA FROM THE THIN MAN BECAUSE YOU'RE AWESOME. I haven't watched the movies in yearrrrrrs.
19. Rory/Jess

Aaaand I'm out I think.

[ava-leigh-fitz.livejournal.com]

AND 5 IS BEFORE SUNSET. HOW DID I NOT REMEMBER THAT. FAIL.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

YOU WIN AT LIFE!

1. :D
3. I do not blame you for shipping OT3. It just makes so much sense!
6. Back in the day when I still cared. *sigh*
8. Yup! Trademark snark!
9. YOUR DEDUCTION SKILLS ARE MAD AND WONDERFUL! Either that, or I'm entirely predictable! OR BOTH.
13. ;D
14. Could that quote be any more awesome? I knew that it was like the most obvious one for those two, but it is so great I couldn't resist!
17. I LOVE YOU FOREVER I DIDN'T THINK ANYONE KNEW! Gah, I love those movies.
19. Remember when we both wrote Lit fic? Good times.

In other words, 100% A+!

[snickfic]

1. Victor/Sierra! Or Tony/Priya. Or whatever. I knew I knew this quote, but it took a few minutes to rise to the surface.

14. ZOE/WASH!!!! I adore all those interview bits - my favorite part of the episode, actually. All of them being monumentally unhelpful, each in their own way. A whole raft of characterization structured in one elegant mini-lesson.

(I have got to get a second FF icon one of these days.)

(No Spike/Buffy? It's got to be on there, which means it must be S7 (or late S6). But hey - Housemate is determined to finish the series before we leave in June, so there's an S7 rewatch in my near future...)

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

1. I'm pleased it came together for you!

14. Is it possible for me to love that scene more?

my favorite part of the episode, actually. All of them being monumentally unhelpful, each in their own way. A whole raft of characterization structured in one elegant mini-lesson.
YES YES YES. That is why I love that scene so much!

(But that's a pretty awesome icon!)

(Yes, it's there! And yes--S7! And yes! I'm excited you'll be rewatching!)

[pennydrdful.livejournal.com]

Okay, the only one I know that hasn't been commented on yet is ....

#18. Han and Leia!!

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

YAY YAY YAY!

I thought you'd get that one!

[mollivanders.livejournal.com]

So I googled #3 but man, thank you for reminding me why I love them :) I'll go reread the books now, thank you!

Oh and #18 is Star Wars, Han/Leia. I don't care if this has already been called :D

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! They're very lovable!

You can never call Han/Leia too much! STAR WARS! *loves*

[serendipily.livejournal.com]

5. Before Sunset
(In my opnion, it should always be Before Sunset first, Before Sunrise second. It just wors that way so much better, no?)

19. RORY AND JESS! RORY AND JESS! *SQUEALS* My true OTP. I think my only OTP really. *sighs* *points to icon*

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

SILLY BACKWARDS GIRL!

I think they're definitely your OTP. And they are awesome.

[dee81.livejournal.com]

10 - John and Aeryn! (At least I'm 99 percent sure...I could practically hear John's voice yelling at Aeryn).

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Yup! In the body swap episode! And then John chases Aeryn and it's a shippy moment!

[brunettepet.livejournal.com]

1. Dollhouse!
4. Battlestar
10. Farscape. Man, I love a good body swap episode!
13. Buffy
19. Gilmore Girls

I feel like I'll do a Simpsons D'oh! head slap when I find out the rest.

[brunettepet.livejournal.com]

Whoop - 'ships:

Priya/Anthony
Helo/Sharon
John/Aeryn
Spike/Buffy
Jess/Rory

[anythingbutgrey.livejournal.com]

everyone i think has guessed all of them maybe idk i'm tired bout 20! jess and hoyt! love!

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

JESSICA AND HOYT ARE THE DEFINITION OF ADORABLE!

[next_to_normal]

Before I look at any other answers...

1. Priya/Tony!
8. Logan/Veronica!
12. Jeff/Annie!
13. Buffy/Spike!

Those are really the only ones I expected to get.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

You were the first one to get Jeff/Annie! I'm very impressed!

But yes to all!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_jems_/]

Oh thank goodness, I think I finally figured out number 2: Jackie/Hyde. I kept refreshing and refreshing and no one was even attempting it, IT WAS KILLING ME! But phew, now I can rest in peace.

(Honestly, I got so stuck on that one that even though I knew some of the others - like L/V and S/B - I couldn't even comment with those because I had to know number 2.)

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Yay! Jackie/Hyde! You got it!

*throws a party*

And I am so amused at your refreshing story. ;D

[eta] I deliberately picked that quote because it's so out-of-character for their relationship. Apparently it was too hard!

[crackers4jenn.livejournal.com]

Everyone has guessed everything!

Except #7, which is... Coach/Mrs. Coach!

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

YES!

I was wondering why it was taking everyone so long to figure it out! It's one of my favorite scenes!

[that-september.livejournal.com]

Well, everyone has already guessed the ones I knew, but I got Ron/Hermione, Logan/Veronica, Spike/Buffy, Wash/Zoe, and Jessica/Hoyt.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

I still like knowing what people guess! Yay!



WIN!

[shamoogity.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking 16 sounds very Skins-like. Tony/Michelle maybe?

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

CORRECT!

We finally have an answer! I was beginning to think that that one would go unanswered!

I'm really impressed that you thought it sounded Skins-like. Well done!

[inkstainedskin.livejournal.com]

2. Jackie/Hyde (A recently discovered obsession of mine! How did these two not end up together!)
3. Ron/Hermione!
6. Chuck/Blair
8. LOVE!
19. Jess/Rory

I feel as though I should know more of these, maybe?

[angearia.livejournal.com]

You watch so many shows! You have so many ships!

I totally missed this the other day, so I'm delighted to have gone far enough back in my flist. It makes me happy. And convinces me that when I'm done with BSG, I'll just have to pop over here and pick another show LAUREN RECOMMENDS AND SHIPS.

Because I know I'll love it. ♥

(Oh, and I totally got Spike/Buffy, Chuck/Blair, Jeff/Annie, and Veronica/Logan. And I love how I share ships with you for all these shows!)

[rosie1234.livejournal.com]

2. Jackie/Hyde (I LOVE them so much)
17. Hon/Leia
13. Buffy/Spike
12. Annie/Jeff!!!!!
8. Veronica/Logan

[moonlightrick.livejournal.com]

15. is Anne/Gilbert! My #1 OTP forever, I think. Some loves just can't be undermined.

I think everyone got the other ones I knew.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

They are so, so wonderful aren't they? *loves them* L.M.M writes some of my favorite romances, because they're sweet and functional without being saccharine, which I hate.
