'Give a little love, give me just enough, so that I can hang on tight...'

*snurched from xfirefly9x *

1) Comment and I will give you three people for a fandom you are interested in.
2) Post this meme with your answers.
3) Provide pictures and the names of three people. or skip this if you're too lazy for pictures.
4) Label which you would marry, shag, or throw off a cliff.

She gave me:

-Laura Roslin
-John Sheppard
-Elizabeth Weir

EVIL. What about Baltar? *wibbles* I could easily throw HIM off a cliff...

Marry:
Elizabeth Weir.

[The hair, it curls so prettily! *iz giddy*]

Who would turn this down? WHO?!

That's right, nobody with a BRAIN.

Anyone without intellect can appreciate the obvious charms of bimbo!Barbie characters, it takes good taste and sense to be worthy of worshipping Elizabeth. *nodnod*

--------------

Shag:
Laura Roslin.

How cute is she?! Don't you just want to squish her tight?

Hang on...*rereads category* Okay, for something more appropriate...

...how frakking HOT is she? It...it blows the mind.

--------------

Throw off a cliff:
John Sheppard.

He makes such cute woobie faces, don't you think?

Also, come on, how many suicide missions has this man gone on? As if the Daedalus wouldn't suddenly appear and beam him up. Or some ABOTW would save his life at the last minute in order to make sexual advances on him later. IT HAPPENS.

The Great Ship Meme

It's ridiculous how much time I spend on these things. But omg, it's so much fun. :D

Clicky clicky, you know you want to see what makes me tick...!

1) My first ship was: Hercules/Xena.

I never understood why they didn’t just merge the shows and let them adventure together. *woes*

2) My newest ship is: Arthur/Morgana [Merlin].

I don’t give a damn what the legends say, Morgana Le Fay won’t let a little thing like historical continuity get in her way. :P

3) I used to ship: Sam/Jack [Stargate: SG-1].

Then I got tired of the way the writers threw other love interests at them. It wasn’t the length of time their relationship went unresolved, that doesn’t bother me at all, I couldn’t care less if my ship never becomes canon- what bugged me was that they went off and dated other people, got frakking ENGAGED and all. That ruins the UST of it all if they’re seeking happiness elsewhere.

Also, Cam/Carter is pretty cute. How can you not squee a little at the parallel cookie scenes?

4) I never used to ship: gonna quote Stef here-

Xena/Gabrielle (Xena: WP) - I loved these two as friends, I never really saw them as 'lovers' *shrugs*

I was disappointed when their relationship became canon, or near enough. It’s so rare for a show to star two women, and when it became a romantic thing, it became less accessible to the general community, I think.

5) Everyone I know ships: Mulder/Scully [The X-files].

It’s like a shipper rite-of-passage.

6) I feel like nobody but me ships: Jessica/Stark [Shark].

It’s an awesome ship but I don’t think I have many [any?] Shark fans on my flist. Seriously, give it a try- it’s full of sexual innuendo and witty banter and very cute! It’s kinda the Huddy of the legal drama universe.

7) I don't understand why anyone would ship: Keller with anyone [Stargate: Atlantis].

[by dragonladyk]

She’s a parasite; her character operates by latching onto and feeding off others, diminishing them in the process. She can’t exist except as an adjunct of another character because she has no depth, no personality, no dimension to her at all. Her main character traits are being whiny and irritating and ‘overwhelmed’ and insecure, FFS. And you expect me to believe the leads of the show are gonna fall for her?!

8) I don't understand why more people don't ship: Doggett/Reyes [The X-files].

Yes, they’re not Mulder/Scully, no, it’s not a crime. If they were in another series, I think people would’ve supported them but unfortunately, they suffered with unfavorable comparisons to the main couple of the show.

9) It creeps me out, but I still ship: Okay, none of my regular ships are creepy so I’m going to be a little random and go with Hannibal/Clarice [Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal].

Yes, I totally ship the FBI agent and the serial killer. It’s a kink of mine, hush!

10) It makes no sense at all, but I still ship: fic!Jack and Liz [30 Rock].

I don’t see it in the show, but it’s so clear in fics. I think because Jack generally treats her better and she suffers less humiliation in the fics and I cringe a lot less- it helps that the focus is predominantly on Jack and Liz, because I couldn’t care less about the other people on the show. *hides*

11) Nobody knows that I ship: Kai/Xev, Kai/Zev [Lexx].

He’s an animated undead guy who needs nothing.
She’s a half-love slave, half-Cluster Lizard with needs.
Together, they are cute and angsty and wholly dysfunctional.

12) For fluff, I ship: Jane/Lisbon.

Because they are the cutest of cute. The teasing, the friendship + flirtiness, the touchy-feely squee!

I love this show because I’m fairly confident it’s not going to make me hurt miserably in the near future. I’m not used to feeling such security! *crosses fingers*

13) For angst, I ship: Adama/Roslin.

They will break my heart over and over in this show and yet I go back for more.

Their relationship has been fraught with despair and loss from the very start, they’ve fought over many issues- and this isn’t the adorable bickering version of fighting neither- they’ve pulled the most ridiculous stunts on each other when they’ve needed to put their duty to the Fleet before any personal regard for one another and it seems like every force in the universe is hell-bent on keeping them apart.

Despite it all, despite the numerous hardships and tragedies along the way, they find a way to come together and weather all the storms by each other’s side. The destruction of the colonies, the relentless Cylon attacks, her cancer, the election, New Caprica, the trial, the return of her cancer, their shifting relationship with the Cylons…no matter what they have to endure, they do it together. And that is what always pulled me back, even when I knew the show was going to break me in some new and torturous way.

14) For sexual tension, I ship: Marguerite/Roxton.

From the first moment she shoots him between the legs- I CAN’T SAY IT ENOUGH, IT’S SO AWESOME- there is a constant simmering UST between them that flares up and fairly explodes in various episodes. They continually gravitate toward each other right from the start, though it takes them a while to realize it’s out of a mutual fascination and interest in each other rather than aggravation and hostility.

There is this epic intricate romantic dance they engage in throughout the series, and you just can’t blink whenever they’re in the same scene for fear of missing something awesome. I’m rewatching the episodes, some of them for the fourth or fifth or hundredth time, and still I’m discovering little flail-worthy moments for the first time and bouncing around squeeing.

And you know, even if I have seen them repeatedly, they never stop making me glee at how my ship is so ridiculously cool.

15) For porn, I ship: WHOA. Okay. I don’t…I’m not a big fan of porn, so…

16) I want my own relationship to be like: Marguerite/Roxton.

I want to be the center of someone’s universe. I want to feel that kind of utter devotion and affection, enjoy flirty repartee, feel accepted for who I am, no matter what.

I want to know that nothing I can do will ever push them away, that they will put up with me in my worst moods and be there to celebrate my triumphs or hold me when I’ve fallen down again and don’t know if I have the strength to get back up once more.

I want to be able to love someone without fear, even though being the kind of person I am, I will inevitably be overwhelmed by doubts and question it and commit self-sabotage, like always.

I want to know that I will never lose this person, that they will always be by my side.

Aaaand that’s why I stick to shipping. Real life could never be this perfect.

But, but, Keller was KAYLEE!!!!!! Okay, I know it was the actress, but with characters I like, I get so attached that I entwine the actor and the character. Weird, yes. Ashamed, me? No way. BTW, I've never watched the show so I don't know a thing about the character Keller. She was just Kaylee so I am predisposed to liking her. Wait, you watched Firefly, right? Or are you wondering what the hell I'm talking about?
Off to steal your meme. *hugs*

OHAI, KAYLEE FAN. *squishes* No, no, no, I love her, I think she's the cutest, most adorable thing ever and I have nothing against Jewel- she was in another SGA ep under heavy prosthetics and did a good job, but Keller sucks big time.

It's not Jewel's fault because there was this one episode where she played a duplicate of that same character [the not-so-evil twin, lol] and she was fantastic and made me wish we could replace the whiny, frakwit Mary-Sue of a bimbo with the pseudo!Keller, but sadly the writers prefer to write shallow, stupid characters that are an offense to women.

I'm thinking the reason that a lot of people even like Keller is because of Kaylee. Or because of the whole wish-fulfilment gig that comes with Mary-Sues, you know, you get to put yourself in their place and believe that you, too, are impossibly beautiful and attractive and pursued by men everywhere and generally adored by all. *eyeroll*

Have fun meme-ing! God knows I do... :P

Oh cool. Kaylee is awesome. I did have fun meme-ing. It took up too much time (time I should have spent studying for a test I have TOMORROW) but it was uber-fun.

time I should have spent studying for a test I have TOMORROW

Oops. :D It's funny how many times I've had this conversation with people in the past week- 'I have important RL things I must do else I will have to face terrible consequences but LJ! It calls to me! I cannot resist!'

Haha! I can't bring myself to hate Keller because she was Kaylee! XD It's stupid, but I just can't, even if I think her character is kinda weak in Stargate Atlantis. ^^

Nah, totally not stupid, I could never hate a character played by an actor I love! I'd suffer through every minute of their performance and tell myself I loved it because I am a loyal fangirl. :P

And dude, 'weak' is Keller's defining characteristic, no offense to Jewel because as pseudo!Keller, she ROCKED. She had depth, intelligence, she was conflicted, compelling, struggled with the morality of her decisions...it was just such a great performance and then we're stuck with regular ol' sucky Keller again, ugh.

Best. Meme. Ever.

When Keller came on, I really wanted to like her, I honestly did try, but she was so indecisive and Mary Sue-ish and suddenly not one, but two of the guys were tripping over themselves because of her. While I can "almost-in-a-very-crackish-alternate-universe-type-way" see Rodney MAYBE losing his head over a girl- Ronon? No plz.

IKR?! *wriggles* I would do these everyday if I could. I love the people that come up with these things.

Keller is symptomatic of the problems plaguing the last two seasons- the writers' general disregard/disrespect for characters and the fans. 'We'll shove this garbage down your throat and if you don't like it, then it's your fault'.

Mckay and Keller- maybe. I mean, she is, in some ways, reminiscent of Katie, the poor girlfriend of a main character for at least two years who only appeared in three episodes all up. That was pathetic, why involve a lead in a romance if you're never going to spend any screen-time on it?

Ronon? BWAHAHA. He'd eat her for breakfast in a realistic world! First the writers try to make like he and Teyla were making with the brother/sister dynamics *chokes* and then they pair him with Keller? Poor Ronon. *pets him*

If Keller were the quirky side character that showed up now and then, I could've borne it, but as a lead? And to have a love triangle happening around her? No way, nuh-uh. Blech.

I wish I had the time to! They're so much fun. Though, your memes are more fun, simply because of all the shiny pictures, I must say.

All of that is very true. It seemed like the last two seasons, they suddenly didn't care a bit about the fan base that got them where they were.

Mckay and Keller- maybe. I mean, she is, in some ways, reminiscent of Katie, the poor girlfriend of a main character for at least two years who only appeared in three episodes all up. That was pathetic, why involve a lead in a romance if you're never going to spend any screen-time on it?

IKR!? I feel like there might've been some small similarities, but then they started with all this business about changing and what the frak ever. Can I also state a small pet peeve? Rodney's characterization kinda went out the window, too. Suddenly he's all sweet and... It weirded me out.

And I'm still a little mad at what they did to Ronon/Teyla. Things totally could've gone that way, it seemed like they were already starting to and then WHAM! They had to go and kill both of my SGA OTPs. *roar*

As much as I love Jewel, I really wish Keller hadn't been there, period. *grumble*

YES, WORD, EXACTLY THAT.

Keller could have been so cool and she was so not.

Hit me with the shagging/marry/throw off a cliff meme

~~and the ship one if you like...~~ Eh I'll just do it myself. LOL

Haha, I love how the ship!meme is so addictive!

Three people...damn meme, we need more people/options:
- John Roxton
- Kahlan Amnell
- Richard Cypher

:D

Hmmm.....
hard one...

NOT! Check my LJ in a bit....

It WAS hard for me, TLW is the only fandom we discuss! Not that I'm complaining, that is enough awesome to make me squee to the end of days, but with memes like this, it makes me scratch my head a little. I could've gone with Marguerite/Roxton/etc. but there wouldn't be much mystery there!

No not really cause at the end of the day, I'd toss Finn. LOL

How did you guess? My original line-up was indeed M/R/F. And then I thought, where is the suspense?

Not that the new one posed much of a challenge. I feel so unsuited to this meme. *sighs* Marguerite/Aeryn/Kahlan would've been more suspenseful, methinks. *facepalm*

True that.

*GASPS*

You. did. NOT. go. THERE!

I may have to rethink this you being on my flist. No one makes me choose between them.

NO
ONE!

;)

Okay...just to humor you....
Marry -
Marguerite
Shagg -
Aeryn
Toss - though it would pain me until I died...
Kahlan - but only cause she's the newest. LOL

Ahaha, I'm so glad I didn't ACTUALLY go there! It was a HYPOTHETICAL SITUATION, I wouldn't really force you to choose between them! *flails*

Thank god for smiley faces, I was really worried there for a moment.

I agree with your choices, though. So much love for Kahlan, but she's the new girl on the block. *squishes her*

And it makes me sad that this is just a meme and not the story of my life, because how ridiculously fun [and occasionally terrifying] would it be, spending the rest of your life with Marguerite? I don't even have the comfort of a Marguerite!muse. *woes*

I'm glad you didn't actually go there either.

Smiley faces are good. ;)

Yeah I loves me some Kahlan, but Marguerite and Aeryn, they helped me through some rough times and I just couldn't toss them. Except maybe to toss them some chocolate. LOL

What makes you think that having Marguerite!Muse is a comfort? Some times she pounds on my head in the WEE hours of the morning...when I should be sleeping.

Marguerite and Aeryn, they helped me through some rough times and I just couldn't toss them.

IKWYM. It sounds crazy, but I've got a few characters that have helped me through whatever passed for a crisis in my teenage years. Heck, even now, I'll admit. I KNOW they're not real people but sometimes they help more than anyone in RL could.

Some times she pounds on my head in the WEE hours of the morning...

Well, she may make your life miserable at times, but you know you'd be lost without her! :P

Gah, I've gotta run and catch my bus now. I should've left before but damn it, I get so into these LJ conversations... *huggles* Later!

I hear ya.

Eh, I don't know if I'd be totally lost without her, but I do miss her when she's way too quiet. and a little scared...because it usually means she's cooking up trouble. ;)

I need to get off this damn computer and get some stuff done around here before bed.

I love this ship meme but OMG uploading pictures is such a pain. But I may be willing to do it this weekend. I always seem to want to do things on the weekend.

For porn, I so ship Gideon/Prentiss.

Lol, the pics thing wasn't in the original meme! I did that myself because I LOVE pic!spamming. Just so you know you don't have to do the same, 'k? *squishes* I feel bad now, that I've misled people. >_<

HA, at the porn question, I totally thought of you! :P

I did feel bad that Emily and Hotch didn't make it onto this meme, but there didn't seem to be a question that suited them. *ponders* 'For frustratingly subtext, I ship...'?

OMG! Keller!? You don't like! But!..but! Hey! *pout*

Doggett/Reyes FTW. XD

Whee! Appropriate icon! ♥

And...no. Keller is not on my Christmas card list. Sorry. :[ I'm sure she grows on one if you give her time, but...I wasn't inclined to humor TATB of SGA after what they did to Elizabeth. It's kinda like with Reyes/Doggett actually, I might not have minded her so much on another show but on this show with all the crap they were putting me through...I had enough.

Hmm, okay. Well I guess I can understand that. Me? I love her purely because Jewel Staite is awesome. Plus yeah.. I don't mind her character.

You know, I discovered Firefly AFTER SGA [I'm always doing this backwards, lol, it was SG-1, then Farscape for me] and I adore Jewel there, so who knows. I have season 4 of SGA on dvd- a relative bought it for me- so maybe I can learn to like her...but not yet, lol, I hold grudges for ages and I'm not over Elizabeth just yet.

lol, fair enough.. I hope you do grow to like her (if not love her), cuz she's great. If not, that's okay though. I have characters I can't stand / don't like as well.

Ah, Keller, Keller, Keller, how I loathe thee. I loved your answer for that one and mind also use it on mine, because you're perfectly right on just WHY she's really shipped with anyone because she hasn't even developed as a character herself.

She's a shipping toy for McKay/Ronon whomever, and I don't like characters that are shipping toys OR characters that are just there as shipping toys. Her primary role seems to be a shipping toy. Jennifer Keller isn't enough to be called a character ... she is a yoyo with breats. God that character's characterization is all over the place.

I enjoyed reading your answers. Hannibal/Clarice ... very unique, I must say. I'm going to do this tomorrow.

Hee, I'm glad you approved of my answer, I spent a great deal of time on that one, trying to formulate a mature, coherent response to why I can't stand her. Inarticulate ranting is fun at times, too, but- yeah, I spend way too much time on memes, lol.

The thing for me is that as much as I love shipping, I need to care about the character individually before I give a damn about who they have chemistry with- I like the IDEA of the gentle, feminine doctor with the rough and tough warrior, or working past the defenses of an arrogant, sarcastic scientist, but because Keller fails as a character in her own right, I CAN'T support those ships. 'Shipping toy' indeed. I love that!

Bwahaha, the creepy ship question! I was so stumped at first, and I'm glad I remembered my fondness for Hannibal/Clarice- I went though this phase where I was totally addicted, read every fanfic I could [though the majority sucked] and even wrote one of my own [which unfortunately contributed to that majority, lol].

Your "throw off a cliff" made me laugh -- so true! -- and ITA about Keller/Anyone (but you knew I would).

DragonLady

Yay, I'm glad that was an acceptable response! I was angsting over who to toss, but then it occurred to me that in SGA!verse, Shep would never actually die if such a thing happened to him! Loopholes FTW! :D

ITA about Keller/Anyone (but you knew I would).

*g* Yah, the post with all the anti-Keller artwork gave that away! *huggles* I get such a kick out of that wallpaper you made! ^_^

get such a kick out of that wallpaper you made! ^_^

Hee. Thank you.
