Yes, I'm bored, why do you ask?

Meme taken from laurus_nobilis

Comment with the name/title of a fandom I'm aware of, no matter how obvious you think the answers will be, and I'll reply you with the relationships -canon or not- from it I ship romantically and platonically as well as my favorite characters. Just one comment for fandom so it won't get messy, as I'll link all threads in the main post and leave it public. You can comment as many times as you want to, though. Don't have me friended and want to ask something? Go for it. The post is public and will remain open to all.

I was going to gack this meme for my journal, when I realized I'm such a shipping whore I'd end up typing out every permutation of every primary, secondary and tertiary character's names, including pairings, threesomes, foursomes, moresomes and orgies, so I might as well just get "WHORE" stamped on my forehead and save myself the trouble.

This is mostly in my anime fandoms, but I'm starting to slip on my "genfic only!" thing for Avatar.

Shouldn't it be "PORNOGRAPH" rather than "WHORE" on that stamp? :D

See, the fun thing about this meme is thinking about platonic ships. I mean, I love the porn as much as any girl, but we spend so little time thinking about platonic ship in fandom, it's a shame ^_^ maybe you could do a version of that meme only with characters and platonic ships?

hahahaha, what ships are you getting on with Avatar?

Actually, the platonic list would be twice as long. There are just certain things that even I have difficulty shipping sexually (like Iroh/Toph or Sokka/Katara) that are made of pure win and awesome when platonic. And just about everything I ship sexually I ship platonically too.

Zuko/Mai was the first Avatar ship where I went, "Hey, that's...not horrible. In fact, I think I--OMG GIMME MOAR NAO!!11" It was my gateway ship. From there, I realized every possible permutation of Ozai's Angels (with or without Zuko) led to pure sex. Sokka/Suki and Sokka/Yue both appeal to me, and I've found they're even better when both in the same fic. I love the idea of loving two different people for two different reasons, and the experience making both loves stronger rather than one cheapening the other. (Although, I have to admit there's an extra-special place in my heart for Sokka/Yue.) I have a liking for Haru/Katara. Roku/Sozin is of course trufax. And a friend of mine is slowly convincing me on Zuko/Aang, although both of us are having a hard time shipping current-age!Aang, so mostly it's aged-up, platonic, or both for me on that ship.

Then there's the crack. Foamy/everyone. Azula/everyone. Azula/Foamy. Pretty much anything you can spin a good yarn with.

Platonic I like everything under the sun, because I adore every single character, and there's just so many awesome possibilities with their interactions that have nothing to do with sex. Even in a shipping fic, I think the platonic relationships should be important. I mostly don't like Zutara, but there are some Zutara fics I've read that I thought could have been very good, if not for the fact that everyone not named Zuko or Katara seemed to drop off the face of the earth. I actually find this to be the problem with many shipping fics in many fandoms, forgetting about the ties characters have to each other, and just zooming in on a romance.

HAHAHAH, that's a lot of ships.

I see your point about Sokka/Suki & Sokka/Yue when both are present.

Zuko/Aang is also something I find tempting, if not for Aang's young age. They are contrasted so much ♥ but it needs to be well written, haven't found many fics that were so far.

(like Iroh/Toph or Sokka/Katara)
Yikes!

That's a very good point (of which I'm as guilty as anyone else). Sometimes plotty fics do better at that, by keeping the ensemble cast. But still :(

hahahaha, good point!
