Man, what is better than a beautiful lazy Saturday morning after a long week of work and various running around? I've had my scrambled eggs, my bagel (half margarine, half Nutella- yummm), and now I've got a cup of the fantastic jasmine tea my sister sent up from Florida. I've got all three Sherlock episodes queued up for viewing, and I haven't quite decided if I'm going to attempt a beef stew today. Hm. Also, I finally caved and bought six months of paid lj time. So, uh, yay extra icons? Heh, that was really all I was interested in. I dunno, maybe I'll fiddle around with my layout.
Anyway, my creepy lj-lurking has found me a meme!
List the first five OTPs that come into your head.
1. Peter/Claude
2. Maj. West/Mirror!Wendy
3. Wash/Zoe
4. Alice/Hatter
5. Shawn/Lassiter
1. When did you first fall in love with ship number 1 (Peter/Claude)?
Aw, well, actually,
visiblemarket and I were talking about that a little while ago, and I unforgivably forgot that my first exposure to Peter/Claude was
sam_storyteller's unbelievable Hiatus Continuations fic from waaay back when. That definitely caught my interest, as did his epilogue fic that focused on the pairing, Throwing Bricks at One Another. And then I wrote my WW2 thing and found
peterandclaude and the rest, as they say, is history. And I couldn't be happier. ^^
2. When did you fall in love with ship number 5 (Shawn/Lassiter)?
Hmm. It's been an awfully long time, and Shawn/Lassiter is a pairing I really like, but haven't pursued much myself beyond reading fic. Especially these days, where the show's writers treat them both like one-dimensional cartoon characters whose interactions have no lasting impact or create any kind of development at all. But, there were moments throughout the first few seasons where I honestly could've seen Shawn/Lassiter become canon. All the mutual frenemy groping and such. There are plenty more, but what's coming to mind right now is from the episode "Gus Walks into a Bank" where Shawn exclaims to Lassiter, "You are so sexy right now!" And also pretty much the whole of "Lassie Did a Bad, Bad Thing." And also my subject line, which was a note written from Shawn to Lassiter in season one and ended with "H&Ks."
3.What is your favorite moment of ship number 3 (Wash/Zoe)?
Aw, I guess it'll have to be them in bed during "Shindig," with Zoe all naked and glowing and Wash being insanely adorable and hot. "I'm getting into this poetry thing. 'Here lies Zoe, my autumn flower... Somewhat less attractive now that she's all corpsified and gross.'" Awww, *tear*.
4. What will the ship be if you take the boy from ship 2 and the girl from ship 1 and mesh them? If one or both of the ships are slash, then pick and choose.
Whoops! That would be either Peter/West or Claude/West- the first I've already covered and the second... no comment, except that, as with most CE characters, I don't think they'd get along.
5. Vise versa.
Umm, I guess that would be Peter/Mirror!Wendy or Claude/Mirror!Wendy. Which is.. interesting. One of the dark Future!Peters might get along okay with her, I think. Claude, though... I doubt it. I just don't think he's attracted to power that way, and I think that's a lot of who Mirror!Wendy is.
6. What's your favorite moment for ship 4 (Alice/Hatter)?
Well, since it's a miniseries there aren't a ton to choose from. I do like the heart-achy moment before she leaves where the UST is bursting at the seams and you want them to just freaking say what they really mean but they don't. And then there's the lovely "What happens if I can't get back?" "Then I'll make sure you're okay." exchange, which gave me an idea for a fic that I'll never write but still like to ruminate on every now and then.
7. How long was there between the time you got into the fandom and the time you started shipping ship number 3 (Wash/Zoe)?
Heh, uh, I think I was probably watching Firefly and enjoying Wash/Zoe before I really got started in fandom proper.
8. When did you start shipping ship number 4 (Alice/Hatter)?
Pssh, instantly? I thought it was cool that the show's creators went there. I know Alice/Hatter has been around for the Disney version and probably others, but it can be kind of squicky if you don't adjust things a little. Syfy's Alice really went ahead and retooled their whole dynamic into something that worked extremely well.
9. Take three random people from three of the ships and create an OT3.
Hee, how about Claude/Zoe/Lassiter? Aw, now I'm thinking of it as a big grief-fueled triangle because they've all lost their soul mates one way or another. In any case, it would be badass, no matter what.
10. Rank your OTPs in order.
Peter/Claude
West/Mirror!Wendy
Shawn/Lassiter
Wash/Zoe
Alice/Hatter
(I really based that on how much I've done for the pairing, from writing fic/making fanmixes/etc. to just squeeing about it.)

Date: 2010-08-28 08:32 pm (UTC)Yay! Go do that!
no subject
Date: 2010-08-28 08:36 pm (UTC)I'm trying! It's annoying because I was so in the mood to write around 1pm today. Now it's like "Grrr come on!"
no subject
Date: 2010-08-28 08:40 pm (UTC)Hah. I know that feeling. I'm just trying to come up with a good ending.
no subject
Date: 2010-08-28 08:44 pm (UTC)I'm letting myself get distracted with layouts. Bad, bad fic-writer.
no subject
Date: 2010-08-28 08:46 pm (UTC)*snort* I saw that. I've been refreshing this page because my comment notifications are on the slow side still, and it was something new each time.
no subject
Date: 2010-08-28 08:52 pm (UTC)Hmph, I'm not liking anything. If the font's not ugly, then it has that cloud o' tags thing that I don't like. I much prefer a list.
no subject
Date: 2010-08-28 08:55 pm (UTC)I think if you go here you can pick whether you want a cloud of tags or a list.
no subject
Date: 2010-08-28 08:59 pm (UTC)Hmmm, I.. think that's just whether or not your tags can be seen, how is decided by the layout.
no subject
Date: 2010-08-28 09:46 pm (UTC)Hee, have you decided on this one?
Also, this may seem like a weird question, but do you have any idea if Claude's left or right handed?
no subject
Date: 2010-08-28 09:56 pm (UTC)Eh, maybe. At least I figured out how to get rid of the tags cloud.
Hm, not sure. He holds the beer with his left hand, right?
no subject
Date: 2010-08-28 10:00 pm (UTC)I do like the color of this one.
Does he? Is that indicative? Well, from a quick look at a couple of icons it looks like it's the right hand. I'm just procrastinating now, it doesn't even really matter.
no subject
Date: 2010-08-28 10:05 pm (UTC)It's not bad, a little more interesting than just solid colors and boxes.
I'd say so, maybe. But yeah, I can pretty much guarantee no one will care.
no subject
Date: 2010-08-28 10:07 pm (UTC)Heh, well, also, pigeons. Or crows, I guess, but I'll say pigeons.
Ahah! Right hand! Also, as always, LOL, Peter's apartment.
no subject
Date: 2010-08-28 10:10 pm (UTC)Hee, definitely pigeons. They're too small for crows.
Dang! I could've sworn when he's in front of the bookcase he's holding it in his right hand.
*sigh* I was planning to go get Mexican food but now I'm feeling all antsy...
no subject
Date: 2010-08-28 10:12 pm (UTC)Hee. Of coruse.
Wait, isn't he?
Why are you feeling all ansty? And why would that prevent Mexican food?
no subject
Date: 2010-08-28 10:17 pm (UTC)I guess they could be robins too or something, but nah.
That's what I thought!
Eh, one of my cousins offered to order me food from this place (for him, and my other cousin, and my aunt), and I turned him down. I don't want to seem like I'm running out to eat alone instead.
no subject
Date: 2010-08-28 10:25 pm (UTC)Nah, robins don't congregate like that.
Okay, whatever, he's right handed, and I don't care anymore. The only reason it was a problem was because I was stupid enough to go and watch part of Our Friends in the North and he holds the guitar wrong if he were right handed. But it doesn't matter, because...that's a different character.
Eh, well, you could say you were running out to do something other than eat.
no subject
Date: 2010-08-28 10:30 pm (UTC)They don't? Hm, well, I guess not. I've seen bunches of them bopping around on the ground, but not really perched like that.
Wow, yeah, I really wouldn't worry about that then. Hey, do you know if the rest of that show was ever posted on YouTube? I stopped checking.
Well, I doubt anyone would ask. But whatever, it probably doesn't matter in the slightest. I'll just go- I should go get gas and cash anyway.
no subject
Date: 2010-08-28 10:32 pm (UTC)Not on telephone posts like that, no.
It didn't look like it when I checked, but I didn't look too closely.
Go! I am contemplating going to get printer cables to replace the ones I lost, but I may just wait until tomorrow.
no subject
Date: 2010-08-29 12:38 am (UTC)Yeah, I guess not. Pigeons it is!
*sigh* Oh well. I suppose I'll just imagine my own happy ending.
I'm going to have to do a shopping trip tomorrow, see about that stew idea... Probably means I shouldn't stay up too late tonight, but I really need to get more of this dang fic down.
no subject
Date: 2010-08-29 12:40 am (UTC)Pigeons is really the only likely possibility.
Heh, I know the basic outline at least with regards to CE's character; he ends up back with the dark-haired girl, but cheats on her with a grad student (I think he becomes a journalism professor? some kind of professor), and they divorce. But towards the end they meet up again for someone's funeral, and they have a moment, so it's implied they get back together.
I want to go out and get a gyro but it's too late and my parents would be mad. So I will maybe get one tomorrow. Getting fic down is good ;)
no subject
Date: 2010-08-29 12:51 am (UTC)Aw, I'm glad to hear that- she was sweet, and really should've been with him the whole time, not that greasy Beatle-wannabe.
Gr, stupid fic... Name a city, please.
no subject
Date: 2010-08-29 12:54 am (UTC)Hah, well, yeah. I kind of caught that first scene with her and CE (*snickers* Baton Rouge...) and just shook my head at the fact that she went for it with the other guy instead.
Fresno, California.
no subject
Date: 2010-08-29 01:01 am (UTC)(*snort* Ye-eah, I've never been able to think of Baton Rouge in quite the same way since...) Well, I see that as Nicky getting kind of weird and distant and her going on one date with another guy that ends in her having sex she's not 100% onboard with and getting pregnant, therefore having to marry that guy and ruin her life.
Awesome. Thanks.
no subject
Date: 2010-08-29 01:07 am (UTC)(I know, right? I could never go there now, I'd just laugh all the time). I do get that she and Nicky had grown apart, and I understand why having gotten pregnant she thought she had to marry whatshisname, but it's just...it feels like such a waste for her. Like, she was in school herself, and everything. I mean that's entirely the point, but it's still depressing.
