Meme: Ship Quotes! (Or, I have no inner romantic.)
Pick 15 11 of your ships and write down a quote for each of them. Let your f-list guess. Looking them up on IMDb or Google is cheating.
I give up. I clearly have no inner romantic whatsoever. It has taken me DAYS to come up with 11 possible combinations. Rather than give myself more heart palpitations, I will present you with these quotes. And quite honestly, I will be amazed if people get more than a few of these correct... I was really scraping to find ships that I support with any sort of cannon. (No crossovers here.)
ETA: Clues! 1. A really old movie (1980) with a stunningly gorgeous soundtrack.
2 and 3 are manga. 3 is an OTP that I've written about extensively. 7 is absolute crack and this pretty much is the entire basis of an OTP that at least a half dozen of you know that I have. 8 is plainly obvious. No, really. 11 is an old tv show that oozes romance so much that it even makes reading poetry sexy. The gentleman who reads it has a very awesome voice. Just ask any of the Teen Titans.
1. Character A to and about Character B: "The man of my dreams has almost faded now. The one I have created in my mind. The sort of man each woman dreams of, in the deepest and most secret reaches of her heart. I can almost see him now before me. What would I say to him if he were really here? "Forgive me. I have never known this feeling. I have lived without it all my life. Is it any wonder, then, I failed to recognise you? You, who brought it to me for the first time. Is there any way that I can tell you how my life has changed? Any way at all to let you know what sweetness you have given me? There is so much to say. I cannot find the words. Except for these: I love you". Such would I say to him if he were really here."
2. Character A thinking about Character B: “I’m going to smile and make you think I’m happy, I’m going to laugh, so you don’t see me cry, I’m going to let you go in style, and even if it kills me - I’m going to smile.”
3. Death Note L to Light: "You are my first friend..."
4. Astonishing X-men Brand to Hank: "Professionally, I think we'd work well together. Personally, I'm going to break you and ride you like a pony." (Also, unf. I'd like to see someone run with this in a fic, but my prompt never gets chosen. *fails*)
5. Big Bang Theory Sheldon: Why do you have the Chinese character for 'soup' tattooed on your right buttock?
Penny: It's not 'soup'; it's 'courage'.
Sheldon: No it isn't. But I suppose it does take courage to demonstrate that kind of commitment to soup.
Penny: How'd you see it? You said you wouldn't look.
Sheldon: Sorry. As I told you, the hero always peeks.
6. Psych Lassiter to Jules: I want you to listen to me, [B]. And believe this, because I mean it from the bottom of my heart. All romance ends in despair. Or death, but mostly despair. Gut-wrenching despair. And I'm-I-I hate to say this, but I'm actually happy that this happened because now you know. And it's just going to make you a better cop to realize that all people are essentially just out there to destroy any chance of happiness you will ever have.
[Long pause]
I feel a hug coming on.
7. Character A: Saving your life is becoming a habit.
Character B: That's one habit you shouldn't break.
8. (An OT3) Character A: (to Character B about Character C) Don't go in for a hug, he might kiss you.
Character C: What, I--
Character B: Aw, I leave you two alone for five minutes...
9. Torchwood
Gwen: How are we supposed to have kids with my job? Torchwood does not do maternity leave. "Oh, I'm sorry Jack. I'd love to help out with the aliens but I can't get a babysitter." "No no I'll sort out that bomb once I've dropped Rhys, Jr. off at nursery." Stop dancing around it. It's a dead question.
Rhys: You know sometimes I fucking hate you. I mean look at you. Caught up in your little group like nothing else matters. And being a hero is an end in itself. Well it's not. You saved the city. Well done. You saved the world. What for? I mean why are you doing it? What are you trying to protect? What are you fighting for?
Gwen: Because if I don't , B—
Rhys: Shut up. I'm talking now, right. You do it so people can live their lives. And there's nothing more important than that. Falling in love, getting married, buying flats, having kids or not. But real life. That's what you're protecting. And if you're starting to think that your shit is more important than real life then we're not going to last very long here, love.
10. Buffy the Vampire Slyaer Angel: I watched you, and I saw you called. It was a bright afternoon out in front of your school. You walked down the steps... and...and I loved you.
Buffy: Why?
Angel: 'Cause I could see your heart. You held it before you for everyone to see. And I worried that it would be bruised or torn. And more than anything in my life I wanted to keep it safe... to warm it with my own.
Buffy: That's beautiful. Or, taken literally, incredibly gross.
Angel: I was just thinking that too.
11. Character A: [B], I don't know what will happen now.
Character B: You must promise me one thing; that you'll share it with me. Whatever happens, whatever comes.
Character A: Whatever happens, whatever comes... know that I love you.

No Bobby/Rogue?

Re: No Bobby/Rogue?
Re: No Bobby/Rogue?
*hugs*
Bobby/Rogue is its own wonderful brand of f'ed up and gorgeous epicness. I just can't shake my very first OTP away - even though there is so little to support it that it's absurd. XD
no subject
And 10... I feel bad that I'm the one to guess this, but for some reason I saw it incredibly clearly in my mind. Buffy/Angel! :D
no subject
Yes and yes!
Why do you feel badly about it?

(Although I take your point and am surprised that more people didn't snag it. I think, looking at this list, that I have a thing for star-crossed lovers. And cracky pairings. XD)

9. Might be Gwen & Rhys from Torchwood? Are they allowed to say 'shit'?
no subject
I guess they are allowed to say shit in an "allowed to curse" sort of way. He also said "fucking." In a British cred sort of way? Maybe fail. Should it be shite?

1 is from a very old movie, but it is one of the few love story type movies that stole my heart completely.
10 and 4 - You got 'em both!
6 is from a fandom that I know you watch at least some of, though you also have some reservations...
no subject
Other than that, no clue.

Also, 3. has to be Death Note... L to Light :D Yes?
And the 1. Isn't When Harry Met Sally is it? I'm guessing. Again the quote rings oddly familiar but my brain's a bit fuzzy and I'm not certain.
These were fun though.
no subject
Well done. :D
And 2 isn't Blood+. I'm actually not sure if you're familiar with that manga, but I'd guess you are? It was insanely popular.
