as though I don't have a hundred other things to do

[esmenet]

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 cool guy/the lazy jerk/the one who's a pro at rolling dice Jin, Mugen, and Fuu (bookelfe)
2. the bright-eyed politician/the stoic and suicidal pilot Relena and Heero! (annotated_em)
3. the bubbly girl/the evil sister/the gloomy girl Ty Lee, Azula, and Mai (terajk)
4. the one who wants everything/the one who eats all the food/the badass bodyguard Greed, Ling Yao, and Lan Fan (boundbooks)
5. the karate expert/the phantom thief Ran and Kaitou Kid! (yifu)
6. the one who is a mafia boss/the one who wants to be a mafia boss (and bonus points for genderfuckery) Tsuna and Xanxus (rikkan)
7. the artist/the messed-up dude/the kid Kio and Soubi and Ritsuka (terajk)
8. the bookish girl/the international sports star Hermione and Viktor Krum (maat_seshat)

10. the kid who really needs some therapy/the angel
11. the exorcist/the bad-luck girl Doumeki and Himawari (salinea)
12. the android/batman R. Dorothy Wainwright and Roger Smith! (rikkan)
13. the fabulous genderqueer superhero/the big muscley superhero Nathan Seymour/Fire Emblem and Antonio Lopez/Rock Bison (salinea)
14. the genderfuck martial artist/the rich hot-springs guy
15. the muscley brown female main character/the chief of police Korra and Chief Bei Fong! (yifu)
16. the prince/the man with the black roses Utena and Mikage (salinea)
17. the duck/the writer Ahiru and Fakir (bookelfe)

19. the northern wall/the man with no name Olivier Armstrong and Scar (sorry, dude, gotta call you something) (bookelfe)
20. the one with the guns/the one with the explosives

Two fandoms repeated, one once and one twice, and no characters repeated.

Comments

[boundbooks]

2. the bright-eyed politician/the stoic and suicidal pilot

Hm. Lee/Kara from BSG?


4. the one who wants everything/the one who eats all the food/the badass bodyguard

GREED/LING YAO/LANFAN <3 <3 <3

[esmenet]

4. ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. :D

2. Nope, sorry! It's an anime, actually.

[boundbooks]

Oh well, the victory points from guessing Greed/Ling Yao/Lanfan will sustain me. :D

(I love that ship!)

[annotated_em]

2 is Relena/Heero.

[esmenet]

Yup!

I'm still only about seven episodes into GW, but all the art for this pairing is making me ship it kind of a lot. (Especially some of the official stuff, with Relena dressed to the nines and Heero in tanktop + shorts with a jacket draped over him.)

[annotated_em]

Is 3 Haru/Bianchi/Chrome?

[esmenet]

It's not, but maybe it should be!

[salinea]

13. Rock Bison/Fire Emblem?
16. errr long shot, Mikage/err Dios?

[esmenet]

13. Yes! I actually wasn't sure anyone would get that, b/c most of my r-list aren't T&B fans.

16. Close. Mikage is indeed the black rose guy!

[salinea]

I love Tiger & Bunny :3 only read a handful of fics though.


Mikage/"Mamiya" then?

[salinea]

oh wait, Mikage/Utena would make more sense!

[esmenet]

Yup! I feel kind of embarrassed for shipping them sometimes, because usually I am all about healthy relationships but I'm pretty sure this is one that would end badly for at least one of its participants. But, well. You remember that scene where Utena called him out on being a manipulative jerk? I want more of that.

[salinea]

I had never really considered them as a pairing, but now I'm all curious about it, because I'm all about the not!healthy relationships myself ^^

[esmenet]

At some point I'm pretty sure I'm going to write fic about them, if you are currently experiencing the sudden urge to read some. :D

[salinea]

yay!

[yifu]

Question marks ahoy.

5. the karate expert/the phantom thief
Aoko/Kaito?
11. the exorcist/the bad-luck girl
Rin/Shiemi?
15. the muscley brown female main character/the chief of police
Korra/Chief Bei Fong.

[esmenet]

5. Half right. Does Aoko actually study martial arts, or has she just learned a lot from chasing Kaito around?

11. I need to read Ao no Exorcist at some point, don't I? (The pairing in question is actually from a CLAMP manga.)

15. Yes! I love how this fandom is already super big with fanart and ships and everything, and we've still got like a year to wait for the actual show.

[yifu]

*goes "hee!" at your icon*

Ran/Kaito? I can ttly see it. ^^

[esmenet]

I want them to team up for awesome. :D Or, failing that, I want to see them somehow make friends and have everybody else boggle. (Or be secret cousins or something . . . basically all the stuff people write about Kaito and Shinichi, I want it to be about Kaito and Ran.)

There is at least one fic!

[salinea]

Watanuki/Himawari

[salinea]

I'm stupid! Doumeki/Himawari?

[esmenet]

Doumeki/Himawari it is! I have kind of mixed feelings on Watanuki, so I ended up not including him in this list. But I imagine Doumeki and Himawari have kind of an interesting relationship, what with him being pretty much the only person around she can touch (well, I'm assuming she can) and their mutual feelings for Watanuki. And she's bubbly because she needs to be, and he's quiet because he doesn't need to talk all that much.

[terajk]

3. Ty Lee/Azula/Mai

10. I highly doubt this, but...Sakura/Dokuro-chan?

[esmenet]

3. I knew you'd get that one. :D

10. Nope, sorry. Which fandom is that, btw?

[terajk]

3. I'd better have! I support it, too!

10. Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-Chan. From what I know of you, it doesn't seem like the sort of ship you'd like. (Part of the reason the kid needs therapy is because the angel keeps killing him.)

[aldanise]

8. Hermione Granger/Viktor Krum?

[esmenet]

Yes! The world needs more international wizarding romantic intellectualism, I feel.

[terajk]

7. Sokka/Zuko/Aang?

[esmenet]

No but goodness, that totally works with the description. It's actually from a fairly long-running shoujo BL manga.

*uses only Aang icon*

[terajk]

Okay. After asking the Internet thinking:

7. Kio(?)/Soubi/Ritsuka

[esmenet]

Yup! Mostly in a you-should-hang-out-and-solve-each-others'-issues way.
