SHIT
SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT SHIT Y'ALL SHIT
...okay to explain
ship_manifesto is doing some kind of huge poll to celebrate their anniversary or something, and anyway the first two round 1s are closed but Zutara is currently facing Batman/Catwoman in round 2 holy crap it is close I beg you if you don't care about any of these things go vote for Katara/Zuko (match 16) BUT ANYWAY. (Not that Bat/Cat is not hot. But.)
These polls are, I'm assuming, matching up each and every ship that has a manifesto on the comm, and I am once again reminded that the internet is truly made up of weird people who sometimes Just Don't Get It. (Who on earth would vote for Bones/Spock? What about oldschool!McCoy is sexy? I mean, I love DeForrest Kelly, but please. And anyway Rory/Jess is OTP material, while Bones/Spock is clearly made up of the fangirls who don't want Kirk to be gay but still want their boy love* too.) It saddens me to see Spuffy go up against Blair/Chuck from Gossip Girl because the latter is a chocolate fudge ship for me and it is getting its ass whupped (rightly so, but the point is to pick the hottest ship and Blair/Chuck is still miles ahead of some of the otherslike Bones/Spock). SPIKE/XANDER IS BEATING RICK/EVIE FROM THE MUMMY WHAT THE HELL I have a special hatred for Spike/Xander because while the jokes were there...my general experience with the fandom ship is a complete OOC pairing and it gives me heebeejeebees.
Some of the races are close, like Katara/Zuko vs. Bat/Cat and Rogue/Gambit vs. Howl/Sophie (GAH IT PAINS ME), and Jessie/James is winning which amuses me, and also I voted for Ed Exley/Bud White (L.A. Confidential) because while I'm not entirely convinced of the hotness of that pairing, WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND THINKS LAURIE/AMY IS HOT? WHO WOULD SHIP THAT ASIDE FROM LMA? BECAUSE, FAIL, LMA. FAIL.seriously that pairing plus Jo/Professor traumatized me as a child
ANYWAY the whole reason I began this post (i.e. re: SHIT Y'ALL) was because I was scrolling through this poll and coming across such gems as "Carmen Sandiego/Waldo (Where's Waldo/Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego)" (not even kidding look it's there) when suddenly I came across Matchup #60, which is...
Matchup #60
Ronald Weasley/Hermione Granger (Harry Potter)
Thomasina Coverly/Septimus Hodge (Arcadia by Tom Stoppard)
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH FIRST MAJOR OTP VS. INTELLECTUALLY STIMULATING HOTNESS/RUFUS SEWELL/ARCADIAOMGARCADIA/AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.
and below that is Dumbeldore/Grindelwald vs. Harry/Luna.
WHY CRUEL WORLD OH WHY
eta: eff you new Star Trek movie and your stupid Spock/Kirk beating my old favorite Obi-Wan/Padme.
son ofadam edit: WHY DID I VOTE FOR RON/HERMIONE WHY DID I NOT SHOW SEPTIMUS/THOMASINA THE HINT OF AFFECTION IT DESERVES WHY DID I NOT REALIZE THAT NO ONE ELSE IN THE WORLD WOULD REMEMBER TO VOTE FOR IT BECAUSE IT IS SO FRICKIN' HIGH-FUNCTIONING WHY WOULD REDOING THE WHOLE POLL TAKE TOO MUCH OF MY TIME.
also hey, the FAKE pairing is winning! I'd forgotten I read those.
