Top 5 Ships You’ll Go Down With No Matter What
I was tagged by @wiith-my-hands - thank you! ♥
1. Hannibal & Will – I must admit that I don't feel comfortable imagining them in domestic or sexual situations. Mostly because this just isn't what these two are about for me personally (I am always in awe by the amazing pieces of fan art and great fan fictions, so please don't get me wrong, I embrace all that, it's just not for me most of the time). What I love is their deep connection, this entire 'can't live with him, can't live without him' theme. All this paired with a showrunner and cast who ship this insanely dark and beautiful ship and a fandom that actually acknowledges its flaws and reflects the relationship makes shipping Hannigram a really intense and great experience.
2. Margot & Alana – I recently rewatched Aperitivo and I literally teared up because of that smile Alana gave Margot when they first met. See, I am a huge fan of Katharine, and Margot soon became my favourite. All I wanted for her was to be happy in S3, and frankly, this was all I wanted for Alana aswell, to be happy (and alive). And in this very moment, when they looked at each other, my heart melted. As much as I would have loved for them to have even more on-screen time alone, their small gestures, their looks, they were everything and said so much more than some dialogues we see on TV. They're good for each other, they support each other, they bring out the best in each other and have seen each other at their worst. Everything about their relationship is so beautiful to me.
3. Shayla & Angela – Can we just take a moment and appreciate what an amazing show Mr. Robot is? Anyway. I loved Shayla. I loved her so much and she deserved so much better. And frankly, so did Angela. The two of them sadly didn't have many scenes together, but this one was so intense and broke my heart: when Shayla told Angela (referring to her reflection in the mirror): 'You see this badass bitch? That's the only person you should ever worry about.' Shayla has been through so much, and she was so strong and wanted to pass that on, wanted to remind Angela of how strong she was. And when they kissed I was so happy and full of hope. But well, this show sure knows how to portray the unfairness of life.
4. Clarke & Bellamy – I must admit that I don't care about The 100 as much as I used to, mostly because I am used to a showrunner that embraces the fandom and all ships. The 100 sadly isn't blessed with a kind soul as Fuller, but with a guy who thinks it's okay to insult fans and characters and with writers with whom I disagree on so many levels about so many aspects. I think there are a lot of issues with this show, the most important one being that many things seem so rushed and sometimes even forced. But with the two of them, it's always been different. They got to know each other, learned to respect each other. Grew together. They were given time to develop a deep connection. In all honesty, I don't remember seeing a relationship on TV in which the guy respected the girl so much, listened to her without doubting her. They have an incredibly deep connection that is just so valuable to me and one of the few aspects that keep me watching the show.
5. Though there are a few other ships I really love, I don't feel as strongly about them as I do about the four above, so for now I will leave this spot blank.
