Here I Go Again

[foolish_m0rtal]

I thought I'd do this meme again with different ships, since I had so much fun doing the first round. I'm only doing a few, because I can't think of many so quickly. Also, please note that these are ships I support, not necessarily ones I write or am involved in.

1. Think of up to 20 ships you support.
2. List them using descriptions of the characters involved rather than their names.
3. Have your f-list guess as many of the ships as they can.
4. Fandom hints will be given after if asked in the comments.

Again, the one that guesses the most correctly will get a fic snippet from a fandom and preferred pairing of their choice. (I really REALLY hope you pick a fandom I know)

Also, if you get 5 and 6, I will be damn impressed.

EDIT: I also made a few of these easier.

1) allonsy/vote for Saxon

2) "Great snakes!"/ "Blistering barnacles!" Tintin/Captain Haddock (Tintin) theotherdibbler

3) the architect/the chemist Ariadne/Yusuf (Inception) distantfridays

4) the false knight/the blacksmith girl William Thatcher/Kate (A Knight's Tale) theotherdibbler

5) the boy that doesn't wank/the boy with the spaniel heart

6) the aspiring lecher/Poland

7) too fast and furious/too cool Dominic Toretto/Brian O'Connor (The Fast and the Furious) angstbunny

8) sweet prince/more an antique Roman than Dane Hamlet/Horatio (Hamlet) broken_moons

9) The flying desk set/Puck

10) a captain and his horse/an inventor and his steampunk penny-farthing

11) a gentleman among dragons/his right-hand man Will Lawrence/John Granby (Temeraire series) psychokitty013

12) the casino robber/the man with the toothpick Daniel Ocean/Rusty Ryan (Ocean's films) angstbunny

13) the companion/the mechanic Inara Serra/Kaylee Frye (Firefly) grimmsical

Very good! And I'll give you a hint: the person that says 'great snakes' also says 'crumbs.'

[foolish-m0rtal.livejournal.com]

Well, you guessed right: it's Tintin. Initially I was like, "WHUT, FANGIRLS STOP MESSING WITH MY CHILDHOOD" but then I read some lovely Tintin/Haddock fics that made me want to hug a puppy and cry.

I'm of two minds, since I am also perfectly willing to support you in this.

Ooh, have you seen the new Tintin movie yet? We don't get it till sometime in December. I don't know who I'll have to kill to see it, but I'm prepared.

Is 8 Hamlet/Horatio?

And 10 and 11 sound familiar, but I can't put my finger on it :(

[psychokitty013.livejournal.com]

Is 11 Laurence/Granby from Temeraire? Or is this one still no books?

[foolish-m0rtal.livejournal.com]

Correct!

[easterly.livejournal.com]

3.) Ariadne & Yusuf from Inception?

[foolish-m0rtal.livejournal.com]

Wonderful!

1) Alonso/Tenth...?, Dr Who
13) Inara/Kaylee, Firefly

[foolish-m0rtal.livejournal.com]

Mm, you're in the correct fandom and referring to the right Doctor, but it's 10th and another character.

[angstbunny.livejournal.com]

This time is so much harder dammit.

7) too fast and furious/too cool

Dom/Brian

12) the casino robber/the man with the toothpick

Danny/Rusty

9) The flying desk set/Puck

Puck is Robert Sean Leonard's character, but I got nothing other than that haha. I haven't seen that movie in a long long time.

[foolish-m0rtal.livejournal.com]

Haha, yes, harder for you and me both! I was just sitting there thinking, come oooon, brain. I need at least ten ships!

7 and 12 are right, and I'll give you a hint: the flying desk set is Neil (Puck's) roommate.

[angstbunny.livejournal.com]

LOL, I'm really going to have NO CLUE. Robert Sean Leonard is like the only thing I remember about that movie. T______T

[foolish-m0rtal.livejournal.com]

That's okay. It's the only thing I remember too. :D
