Top Ten - My Favourite Ships










I can become fairly obsessed with the fandom aspect of the television shows I watch, so it is no surprise that I become quite invested in my own little realities. This is a list of the fictional romances that I ship for relentlessly. Some of them are no surprise to anyone who spends time on the Internet and some of them may perplex even the most devoted fandom followers. My logic behind this list is based simply on instinct, rather than rational thought and plausibility. They are not all conventional but they are all interesting and compelling combinations of characters. I am aware of the fact that there are actually 11 romances in this Top Ten list, but I couldn't be bothered making a new graphic, so here we go:




Margaret Hooper & Bruno Gianelli (The West Wing)

Based entirely around his playful wit and a necklace - S03E20.





John Carter & Lucy Knight (ER)

A blossoming romance that was tragically cut short.





Barney Stinson & Lily Aldrin (How I Met Your Mother)

I would never want to do this to Marshall, but their relationship is too adorable - S02E05.





Draco Malfoy & Hermione Granger (Harry Potter)

No surprise to fandom lovers but this is a much better reality than what actually happened.





Penny & Sheldon Cooper (The Big Bang Theory)

The most unconventional couple but they are so cute together and have the most unique relationship.





Cindy "Mac" MacKenzie & Logan Echolls (Veronica Mars)

This all started with their flirty banter about their history - S03E16





Sophie Stagner & Michael Westen (Burn Notice)

It might take a few years but the way she looks at him explains it all - S01E03





Eric Northman & Lafayette Reynolds (True Blood)

I enjoy the predator/prey aspect of their bond.





Jess Mariano & Paris Geller (Gilmore Girls)

Their similar intellects and mutual dislike of everyone makes a perfect match - S02E16 





Jeff Winger & Annie Edison (Community)

My happiness depends on this, there is still time! Who could forget the Debate - S01E09





Ainsley Hayes & Sam Seaborn (The West Wing)

As far as I am concerned, this is reality. I believe they are engaged in season 7 and they will be happily married when Sam runs for President one day.








BONUS LEVEL!!!



Scott Pilgrim & Wallace Wells (Scott Pilgrim)

You just unlocked a secret ship! Romance +2. Awesomeness +8. Gay +1,000,000

Regret won't waste my life again

Lately, I have been increasingly worried about The Rule of Three, where things tend to disappear in threes. This is not to be confused with The Three Days Rule, explained best by Barney Stinson (Neil Patrick Harris) in s04e21 of How I Met Your Mother. It all began on February 2nd of this year when it was tragically announced that The White Stripes were breaking up and my world collapsed on top of me as I spiraled into months of mourning. It was a really devastating shock and a huge loss to the music industry, but just as I was starting to recover, I found out that Adam Copeland aka Edge is being forced to retire due to injury. Edge was my childhood hero and has been an inspiration to me throughout my life, so it was a pretty big surprise to hear he was never going to be able to compete again. At least I can remember them at their best, because both went out on the top of their games. The White Stripes had 6 hugely successful albums and Edge was the reigning World Heavyweight Champion, they were truly giants in their industries. So now I am left with the frightening concept of who will be the 3rd? I can only hope that the rule is simple a superstition, but there will always be that fear sitting in the back of my mind. For a while, I was worried that Jared Payne was the third, because during his best season ever for the Auckland Blues, he announced that he will be going overseas next season to play his rugby but I decided that the [former] Northland Taniwhas Captain and fullback/centre is simply relocating away from NZ and does not qualify to be the 3rd. Now I simply must wait and hope.




My sister brought me back this patch from Interlaken, Switzerland. It appears to be a goat of some kind but I have no idea what it is doing. So I am posting it here and hoping that everyone will comment and express their opinion about what the hell is going on there.

The options are:

a) Spitting Blood
b) Poking it's tongue out
c) Breathing fire
d) Being shot with a tranquilizer dart in the mouth
e) Exhaling a demon in spirit form
f) Other.....
