It's like a sickness.

Is it wrong to post two memes in a row? Because I really love this one, too (ganked from gehayi:

Give me one character from a book or book series, film or film series, or TV show that I know (because I don't want to offer opinions about characters I know nothing about) and I will tell you:

1. My OTP for them.
2. Runner-up pairing.
3. Honourable mention(s).
4. Crack pairing(s).
5. Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't.

Rorschach, of course.

[misachan.livejournal.com]

Oh, man. Rorschach is so twisted up when it comes to sex he makes this so hard.:) (I don't actually ship him with anyone. I've said before that I think he actually loves Dan too much to think of him that way.)

1. My OTP for them: Rorschach/Dan If Rorschach was going to have sex with anyone, it's going to be Dan. It's not even a discussion.

2. Runner-up pairing: Rorschach/Ozymandias Something can repel and attract at the same time. He and Adrian have a very interesting dynamic, especially if you work with the interpretation that some of his feelings on homosexuality stem from self-loathing. Of all of them they're the two who most idealize justice, even if though have wildly different views of what the word means. Like Rorschach, Adrian's "real face" is his mask; there's no reason for him to be in costume when they confront him in Karnak, which makes me think that to him it isn't a costume anymore. When Rorschach wants to put on a disguise, he takes off the mask, not the other way around, while Adrian plays dress up by putting on a power suit and smiling for reporters. Add in the extreme differences in lifestyle and there's an intriguing push-pull between them.

3. Honourable mention(s): Rorschach/Comedian I actually see this much more easily pre-Roche. Comedian is a war hero and it's clear Rorschach looks up to him to a certain extent. It's not hard to imagine Eddie finding that flattering.

4. Crack pairing(s): Rorschach/Sally This is purely Rorschach and his mommy issues.:) And another case of repel/attract.

5. Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't: Rorschach/Laurie It's not everyone, but there's a fair amount out there. I can't see it, not as a pairing unto itself, even in something like an AU where Dan dies (although I would be much more likely to read that than a fic set in canon). The only way I can parse it is if it's all about Dan, and then it's still really Dan/Rorschach with Laurie as a proxy.

1. I actually agree. I don't really ship them from canon... I just read a DanRor fic that was really good and imprinted.

5. I agree with this too. There's some good OT3 fics that make it believable, but that's the only way it works for me.

because I like to be random: PICCOLO

[misachan.livejournal.com]

Another character I don't actually ship! (Single-gender race combined with apparent asexual reproduction makes me wonder if the Nameks even have a sex drive. I wouldn't be surprised if "sex" involved some kind of spore or pollen, considering how plant-like they are in a lot of ways. I'm convinced they use photosynthesis; it explains the green skin and why they only need to drink water.)

My OTP for them: Piccolo/Gohan(adult Gohan, obviously) Okay, I do kind of ship this.:) Gohan is the only thing Piccolo's ever loved; he died for that kid, he has a mindlink with him (just look at the Android 20 fight) and he just about breaks when he thinks Gohan is killed by Buu. For Gohan's part, Piccolo is probably the most stable influence he's had in his life, especially since he's saddled with Goku, the King of Absentee Dads. There isn't even that much of an age difference, considering that Piccolo is really less then ten years older than Gohan.

It would take a lot of build up, obviously. And Gohan would have to initiate, because I don't know if it would ever even occur to Piccolo otherwise.

2. Runner-up pairing: Piccolo/Nail I guess? I mean, they're technically the same person now, but I suppose it all going on in Piccolo's head would count. This is hard.

3. Honourable mention(s): Piccolo/17 Piccolo really enjoyed driving when he and Goku were forced to get their licenses, something he and 17 have in common. And they're an even fight! They could beat each other up, steal some cars, drive real fast and then repeat the process.

4. Crack pairing(s): Piccolo/Martian Manhunter They're both bald, green, telepathic and enjoy billowing capes. Made for each other, I tells ya.:)

5. Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't: I don't know if everyone likes it, but there was a lot of Piccolo/Random Female Namek running around for a while there. Seriously, people. Knock it off.

wow, I can see Piccolo/17 actually working.


and Piccolo with Martian Manhunter in any circumstance would be awesome.

Imagine it during the JLI era! The peanut gallery comments from Guy and Ted! Guy picking a fight, not knowing that Piccolo's extendo-arms can grab him from across the room! It would be magical.

That needs to exists so badly. In fanart form, if nothing else.
