Come sailing with me

[ladyoflisquill]

berlinghoff79 did this meme a few days ago and I loved it so much I had to jump on board.

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 if asked in the comments.

ETA: Added fandom hints for remaining 13 7 ships to be guessed.

1. the professor/the convict - the boy wizard. Remus/Sirius storm_ford
2. the former lab rat/the texan cowboy - follow the evidence. Nick/Greg CSI: Las Vegas 
3. the one always  in the tavern/the one who never wear a shirt. Merlin/Arthur falling_voices
4. the jewish werewolf/the nurse - a vampire, a werewolf and a ghost live in a house. George/Nina Being Human UK
5. the coffee boy/the one who keeps coming back - they hunt aliens and have a lot of sex... like, a lot! Ianto/Jack storm_ford
6. the one with the glasses/the one with the eyebrows - comic books made real. Noah Bennet/Sylar Heroes (okay this one was short lived but come on ZQuinto!)
7. the unicorn/the straight up bitch. Brittany/Santana heygirlie
8. the loud mouth/the one with daddy issues - cops in paradise. Danny/Steve berlinghoff79

Hmm.

3. Merlin/Arthur?
6. ... America/England? idk, it fits.
14. that one is pretty obvious, so — Holmes/Watson, possibly just the '09 incarnation ('rough-around-the-edges'?).
18. I have spent far too much time in the TSN fandom and thus am stuck on Andrew Garfield/Jesse Eisenberg. I'm probably completely off the mark.

:D this is a nice meme.

[ladyoflisquill.livejournal.com]

You got 3 & 18 right. And though I can see where you were goign with 14 the gender is wrong. ;)

As for 6... ?

[heygirlie.livejournal.com]

Guessing at all of these, no googling used:

7. Brittany/Santana
12. Kirk/Spock
14. Rizzoli/Isles
17. Blaine/Kurt
19. Sara/Grissom

I'd also guess that 4 is from Being Human and 9 is from Hawaii Five O but I don't watch those shows so idk their names. ^_^

[ladyoflisquill.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, you are very good at this. All right except for 19 which is halfway there.

[ladyoflisquill.livejournal.com]

Should also say your fandom guesses are right for the other two... :D

[heygirlie.livejournal.com]

Yay for fandom osmosis!

[ladyoflisquill.livejournal.com]

It's an epidemic!

[storm-ford.livejournal.com]

I can't look at 1 without thinking MoriartyMoran. I don't care if its wrong. It makes perfect sense.

On that note, why does 9 remind me of Sheppard/Zelenka? IDEK

[ladyoflisquill.livejournal.com]

LOL. I'm afraid not.

And there is an SGA pairing in there... just not number 9. ;)

[storm-ford.livejournal.com]

I'm absolutely sure guessing until I find it is a terrible idea. However:

20 could be Lorne/Sheppard (or Lorne/Elizabeth or Lorne/Woolsey)

10 could be Sheppard/Ronon?

[ladyoflisquill.livejournal.com]

Feel free to keep guessing. I love all the suggestions.

ohhhh 20 is 50% right on first guess but leader guesses are not quite there.

10 is about as far from SGA fandom as you can get.

[storm-ford.livejournal.com]

Lorne is the only character I would ever refer to as the 'artist' in SGA. I love that scene. "You paint?!"

Anyway. Other leaders include: Sam or Rodney?

[ladyoflisquill.livejournal.com]

Love that scene too! Says so much about his character.

A hint? Not a leader of Atlantis but a leader of their people...

[storm-ford.livejournal.com]

Lorne/Teyla!

....

Pffff. Good one, me. ~.~

[ladyoflisquill.livejournal.com]

YAY!!!!! I literally \o/ for you.

[storm-ford.livejournal.com]

hahaha thanks.

I feel a little sad I didn't realize it without an obvious hint though. :)

[ladyoflisquill.livejournal.com]

In fairness I feel like a lot of people forgot Teyla was a leader in her own right... even the writers. :(

[storm-ford.livejournal.com]

Yeah.... :\

On the other hand: with hints, that got clearer a lot faster-

Some of the ships (like Being Human) I recognize but don't know.

5. Ianto/Jack

1. Gaius/Alice? Possibly?

6. If I am guessing right from friends rambling to me about First Class, I'd say youngProfX/Magneto. Seeing as I haven't actually seen the film yet (I know, I know) I may be quite far off track.

[ladyoflisquill.livejournal.com]

5. Yes!

1. wrong boy wizard.

6. hmmm, not this number...

[storm-ford.livejournal.com]

1. Oh. Well. I just missed the obvious. How did I do that. Lupin/Black.

Oh, fine then. I thought a reference to him as 'the professor' was more likely. 16, then. it seemed to me likely to be an XMen quote but I couldn't seem to find any memories of Xavier saying it to Magneto. I've been lax in all but Sherlock lately, it seems.

[ladyoflisquill.livejournal.com]

1. That's the one. My first ship and one of my most beloved.

16. is right too. It's more of an amalgamation of things Charles says.... you should see the new movie. *nods*

[storm-ford.livejournal.com]

I really should :)

[aestheticized.livejournal.com]

1. Remus/Sirius
4. I forgot their names but the dudes from Being Human. George and Mitchell.
5. Ianto/Jack
13. Quinn/Rachel?
16. Charles/Erik

[ladyoflisquill.livejournal.com]

Just pipped to the post on 1 & 16 by storm_ford

4 is half right.

13 is spot on!!!

[cathalin.livejournal.com]

11. adam lambert and kris allen!

and I agree with the prior poster's 1 and 16!

I'm guessing 8 or 9 are H50, but donn't actually watch the show so all my knowledge is from a bit of fic I sometimes read... hmmm probably 9 is Steve/Danny?

p.s. this is fun!

[ladyoflisquill.livejournal.com]

Yes, kradam! love those boys.

not 9...

p.s. soooo much fun. You should do it.

[berlinghoff79.livejournal.com]

Is 8 Danny/Steve?

[ladyoflisquill.livejournal.com]

Yeah!!! Let me go swoon over them now.

[berlinghoff79.livejournal.com]

Swoon away.
