lirazel: An outdoor scene from the film Picnic at Hanging Rock ([tv] confession)

Fun times!

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 [livejournal.com profile] 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."

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!

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

[identity profile] ava-leigh-fitz.livejournal.com 2010-04-05 05:21 pm (UTC)(link)
:( 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.

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2010-04-05 05:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm usually pretty terrible at them myself, but they're such fun to make!

1. Correct!

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

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

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...)

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2010-04-05 05:25 pm (UTC)(link)
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+!

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!)

I WAS WONDERING THAT MYSELF, BB.

[identity profile] pennydrdful.livejournal.com 2010-04-05 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, the only one I know that hasn't been commented on yet is ....

#18. Han and Leia!!

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2010-04-05 05:29 pm (UTC)(link)
YAY YAY YAY!

I thought you'd get that one!

"Why you stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf herder!"
"Who's scruffy-looking?"

6. Oh god I know I watched a recent episode and my, I laughed the entire way through. I mean, it is actually terrible. The only thing that could redeem it is ridiculously sarky Dan/Blair.
9. Let's go with my awesome deduction skills?
14. I love Zoe/Wash forever and ever. That scene is perfect, all the littly interviews are wonderful and just, Waaaaaaaaash. I miss him.
17. THIS IS WHY WE'RE TWINS REMEMBER? Hm, I think we have some dvds downstairs, I'll have to check.
19. I think I have like, 10 half written ones that I just can't bring myself to finish. Like with every other fandom I have even slightly got involved in recently.

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2010-04-05 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
YOUR ICON. That's one of my favorites ever. Every time anyone I know uses it, I flail JUST LIKE KERMIT.

I might have to steal it.

I could not love those two more if I tried. Han and Leia forever! And screw the books that made them happy only to kill off 2/3 of their children!

[identity profile] mollivanders.livejournal.com 2010-04-05 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
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

[identity profile] mollivanders.livejournal.com 2010-04-05 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
wait, what? their children are all but dead? D: D: D:

sometimes I hate Star Wars published fanfiction. and not just because it made callista go away so luke could be with an evil ex-emperor's hand *scowls*

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2010-04-05 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
6. I haven't watched in so long, and I have no desire to. The most fervent fans have jumped ship.
9. Sounds good!
14. They were so perfect in every way.
17. I KNOW, RIGHT? You should rewatch! And we have the entire series, too!
19. Ha! I've got some odds and ends of my own sitting around. *sigh*

Also, there's one other one on this list that I thought you might possibly be the only one to get. But nope!

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2010-04-05 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
You're welcome! They're very lovable!

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

[identity profile] madcap-shiny.livejournal.com 2010-04-05 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Really a lot of these I love and don't know the source material for (and looking at the comments, there are a lot that I love and have seen/read but do not recognize right away). 2, 10, 11, 12, basically 17-20...okay yeah no I love them all. I might have to adopt some of your ships blindly, actually. *shifty eyes*

I would do this meme, but all I can think of for my 'ships are REALLY OBVIOUS ones from all the famous scenes. Oiii. *thinkthinkthink*

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2010-04-05 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Jacen and Anakin are both dead. JAINA KILLED JACEN AFTER HE WENT DARK SIDE. MY JACEN. NOOOOO! *loved him hardcore in the NJO*

Ha! You were a Luke/Callista fan? Cute! I didn't much care about Luke's lovelife, but I think you were in the minority--Mara Jade got tons of love.

[identity profile] mollivanders.livejournal.com 2010-04-05 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)
*cries in a corner* and jacen was always the one who had trouble with the Force to start with and poor han and leia! why, writers, why!

they kill too many people. chewbacca, anakin, jacen... this is ridiculous.

I never liked Mara Jade as a romantic character :/ I thought she was interesting as is, but I guess in scifi a girl always has to be paired with someone if she's going to stick around never mind that they killed mon mothma because they couldn't manage that. And I loved Callista as a character and thought she has such a positive connection with Luke and then the guy who wrote MJ just wrote Callista out of the series like she didn't matter.

Proprietary my foot. Also, need more icon space for my space pirates :)

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*

6. I might watch another for lulz but yeah no. It's just not worth watching except if you're sick or nothing else at all is on.

Um. Um. Oh god, which one is it? OH MY GOD IT'S TOTALLY #15 ISN'T IT? GILBERT/ANNE? MAN I NEED TO REREAD.

[identity profile] hkath.livejournal.com 2010-04-05 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I know! I am always making my own and then expecting my flist to be better at guessing mine than I was at guessing theirs!

2. I always cry so hard at that movie. Pretty much from the minute they get in the car to the very end I am a sobbing mess. And yet - it makes me so happy!
