Valentine couples for meeeee

[van]

In the mood of the ~holiday~ I decided to put together a picspam of some of my favorite fandom couples from over the years. I didn't list everyone I shipped, mostly my OTP ones and tried, when possible, to limit it to one or two per fandom. (Though in the case of long-running shows like Doctor Who, I took some liberties.) Anyway, random and

No Billy/Tommy?

Great post, <3 for the trip down memory lane.

Ahahaaha, nooooooo. I like Billy/Tommy, but I don't ship them very hard, despite my epic fic. XD I think they can be perfectly compatible, but I actually prefer them both with other people more. XD Is that weird? XD

[tanyad]

Not really, just expected it considering the epic fic that is ... epic.

Ahahahahhahaha, I know, right? XD I AM SO WEIRD

Willow/Oz! I liked Tara well enough, but I was always devastated that Willow completely turned her back on Oz. I loved them so much!

Also with you on Ned/Chuck. They were adorable :)

Now I want to do this, even though V-Day is almost over.

Yes, that's how I felt about Willow/Oz too. I wanted to love Tara. I was even on board with Willow/Tara and went into the series wanting/expecting to ship them, but they did such a surprisingly awesome job of selling me on Oz/Willow and a surprisingly unconvincing job of convincing me that Oz actually meant nothing to her and she's ttly lesbian now duh that I just couldn't get into it. Which is really sad, but true. :(

Ned/Chuck hell yes, though. :D

Totally do it! It could be a February 15th thing!

So many of these pairings I'm like "....."! mainly because I have no idea who they are! BUT. I can get on board totally with Reed/Archer...especially if it somehow becomes Archer/Tucker or Archer/Tucker/Reed *cough* Porthos will be their baby! Awww Cutest beagle ever

I never felt that Willow through Oz over for Tara. He was her first love and the only person she had been with. That's legit. And then she fell in love with a woman and realized that she was a lesbian. That doesn't invalidate Oz. Many gay and lesbian men and women have opposite sex partners as their first love/sexual experience. Also, it's not like Oz was there and she just dumped him. If I remember correctly, he had been gone for a good while at that point. Then he came back and she was in love with someone else. And I like the woman he's paired with (and has a baby with in S8).

Oh, that 2nd doctor picture makes me feel dirty. lol

[van]

It is not my fault you don't have the same high quality taste in TV and movies that I do! XD

I know where you're coming from with Tara, and I do agree, but I also feel like they really did a great job of showing how compatible Willow and Oz were that the "lol lesbian now" thing just didn't feel believable to me. I know other people disagree and that's cool. I AM HANGING ON TO MY SHIP and mentally pretending Willow ends up bisexual after her "IM TTLY TTLY GAY!!!" stage. Ah well.

WHY DOES THE SECOND DOCTOR MAKE YOU FEEL DIRTY THEY ARE LOVE.

[scififreak]

Well, he looked so old and the other guy rather young....so. lol

I totally agree that Oz and Willow were great together--and I think they would totally both agree. And even if she never dated another guy again, Oz would be special. But I love Tara too. She was a great character. And Joss, that bastard, killed her! Like he does ALL the awesome pairings. Every. Single. One.

Looking at the Power Rangers pics, all I could think was "Omg, the 90s looked HORRIBLE!" lol

[van]

Well, there is an age gap, but no one ever complains about Ten being 880 years older than Rose, and Two's only in his 400s! So I just don't let it bother me. When you see them in action I think it's better, too. In a still you are kind of like "uhhh, old dude?"

Joss is so dangerous with pairings. To the point that you almost don't want to watch because you fear who you'll like and he'll kill off or break up!

The 90s were so horrible. So it just goes to show how much I love some of these pairings, despite the bad fades, mismatches bright colors and wing-bangs. ILU POWER RANGERS.

[van]

Yeah, I don't HATE Tara, but I just liked the Willow/Oz relationship so much more. IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE SUCH A BAD QUEER. But I'll take either of them over Kennedy, yes.

ALL THE BIFFS? WHAT? I am old, speak slower. :(

Yaaaaaay card!!! :D

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
