20 pairings meme

[meganbmoore]

This one is HARD.  Not just to think of pairings you like (there are PLENTY that I've liked-to-loved over the years, but to have 20 on my mind at one time!) but also the renaming.  But it's fun.

Stolen from karate0kat
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 Ultimate Badass and The Ultimate Badass's Ex-Pimp (Nikita/Michael, Nikita, guessed by karate0kat @ LJ.)
2.  The Assassin and the Exiled Legend
3.  The Shrine Maiden and the Monk
4.  The Falcon Hawk (pay attention to what you type, girl) and The Wolf (Isabeau/Navarre, Ladyhawke, guessed by southerndave @ LJ)
5.  The Commander and The Sociopath
6. The Blind Girl and the Terrorist (Zooni/Rehan, Fanaa, guessed by prozacpark @ LJ)
7.  The Heiress and the Alcoholic (Nora/Nick, The Thin Man movies, guessed by lady_ganesh @DW)
8.  The Lookalike and the BFF (Maddie/Donna, Twin Peaks, guessed by prozacpark @ LJ)
9.   The Vengeful Ringleader and the PTSD-ridden Slave
10.  The Bodyguard and the Lonely Princess
11. The Swordwielding Slave and the Swordwielding Bastard.
12. The Ghost Lover and The Boy Who Wants to Emulate Lucifer.
13.  The Rebel Angel and The Many Faced Devil.
14.  The Bullet and the (Mostly) Fake Playboy (Riza/Roy, Full Metal Alchemist, guessed by lacewood @ DW)
15.  Emma-lite and The Disgruntled Businessman

For these, I couldn't think of name substuitutes and so went for something more thematic.  (It probably makes themmore obvious?)

16.  Hotsprings and messenger owls. (Sarasa/Shuri, Basara, guessed by estara @ LJ)
17.   It started Pride and Prejudice, then turned into Persuasion.
18.  Balcony scenes are always a good choice.
19.  Their love kept button manufacturers in buiness.
20.  When parents may be a bigger obstacle than monsters who want to eat you.

There are certain ones prozacpark and lyssie aren't allowed to guess on.  They know which.  I probably won't crosspost answers between DW and LJ?  ETA:  Forget that idea. Too much trouble for a lazy girl.

Hint:  There are no pairings for US TV shows on their first season.  These encompass almost every form of media I consume.

Is #7 Nick and Nora Charles? I mean, they're both alcoholics, but!

[meganbmoore]

Well, she doesn't have a glass glued to her hand!

[lady_ganesh]

I remember my mom started watching the Thin Man movies when she worked at a video store (she wanted to have something relatively family-friendly on), and she was like, 'and all they do is drink!' :D

[meganbmoore]

That was my mother's reaction too! She liked them, but didn't finish them because he was always drinking.

[lady_ganesh]

Oh, Mom totally finished them. Hee.

[lacewood]

14. The Bullet and the (Mostly) Fake Playboy
Roy/Riza, FMA!

17. It started Pride and Prejudice, then turned into Persuasion.
For some reason, it feels like this couod be Margaret/Thornton from North and South?

[meganbmoore]

14. Yes! I'm surprised that one wasn't guessed sooner.

17. No, though it could still apply there. Same country, more recent.

[lacewood]

14. Haha, yes, I was so surprised it hadn't been guessed yet, I couldn't resist giving it a shot.

Actually, at a guess, is 5 Integra/Alucard from Hellsing?

Also, my username's lacewood, actually, I believe laceblade is another person on DW. XD;

[meganbmoore]

5. Nope! Though it could also apply. These you are considerably less violent, despite also being in a war.

14. I think people at LJ, at least, are so busy with #3 (and trying to make it fit Inu-Yasha) that they're missing other animanga ones.

Name: Yes you are and yes there. Today is apparently my day for my fingers ignoring my brain and reassociating words, and my eyes forget to catch it. I kept almost doing this all day at work, too.
