I did a pairing meme for some reason O_O

I was bored, so I did a pairings meme. I'm not usually into shipping, or romance in general because it gets so damn corny, but I wanted to give this a shot.

NOTE: A good chunk of these are from my child & teen-hood

1. FANDOM

You may notice a pattern in many of these pairs. (Recently I just came to terms with being a lesbian (probably makes sense from my HS yuri-fangirl phase), and I kind of realise now that I project myself into one of the types of characters from a certain dynamic... xD)

Intriguing - Flora and Ignis
We have a firefighter and an (accidental) arsonist with fire powers. Flora is generally social and friendly, however she's also hilariously prejudiced against flame-users, even going to the point where she actively stalks them. Ignis is a quiet foodie who can't cook, and personality-wise, she's not open about her feelings so she's pretty cold (haha).

Hot and Sexy - (Kinda a crackship, but) female Beht x Sonya Sanchez
Just… WHY? Because I’m selfish and I just want yuri with a corrupt journalist and her snarky henchwoman x’D I will not elaborate further.

Reasonable - 

...

They Protect One Another - Miki Naoki & Yuki Takeya
Literally just all-heart and all-brains in a zombie apocalypse.

They Share Beliefs

Subtext - 

Adorable - Keith Kogane & Hunk Garrett
I can forget Voltron, but my favourite character will always be Hunk. Anyways, Heith's the first pairing in years (as of 2018) that I genuinely found sweet to the point where I felt joy seeing fan-content. I'm not kidding.

They're Alike - Prince Poo & Paula Polestar
Obviously, this isn't the only reason - there's more to them - but I needed a category. I'll first say what they have in common, though. They're both popular in their area and skilled PSI users. 

They're Opposites - Gerda & the Little Robber Girl

Canon - Quitterie Raffaeli & Zack Walker

Non-Canon - 

Charming - Ninten & Ana

The fact that it's the only pair in the Mother series to actually 'go' canon isn't the reason, actually. I just feel like it's so genuinely sweet. 

Crack - Magnet Man & Metal Man
For obvious reasons 💀 Literally it's a dude themed around magnets and another themed around metal. Magnets... attract metal... lol I know it's shallow, but I'm surprised it's not that popular within the classic series’ shipping scene. But it's also a funny idea.

Hilarious - Globe & Candy
I feel like when I was little, I low-key did actually ship them and was too shy to admit it. Their dynamic basically is: one second they're doing best friend stuff. Next thing, they're arguing over some dumb crap. Put into a romantic level, it's the typical "they drive each other crazy, but also they drive each other craaazy." ...Also, 

Tranquile - 

Full Of Emotion

Unique - Ness & Prince Poo

Not very expected to see, but I think this pair has gotten some taction lately. Here we have a small-town all-Eaglelandian boy with not much to him aside from his psychic powers, and his love for baseball and burgers. And that's the guy who's caught the eyes of a crown prince from a far-away land that's separated itself from modern-western influence. Interesting scenario if you ask me.

Cheesy in a Good Way - Ness & Paula Polestar

Anyone who knows what happens in either answer of the "Will you escort me home?" question... That's one of the sweetest things to happen. There's no telling if it's actually canon, but it's heavily implied.

They have No One Else to Love -

Fan-art & Fan-fiction - Heihachi & Kyuzo
They hardly ever interacted in the series. But the fan-art of these two got me to like seeing the dynamic between these two.

Their Conversations - Luca Esposito & Ulgar Zweig

Shows Off Their Best Qualities

They Forgive One Another - 

BECAUSE I CAN

HONOURABLE MENTIONS:

Kyouko Toshinou & Yui Funami/Ayano (forgothername)

Their interactions are so funny. The way the talk to each other makes it worth the pairing xD

 Ladybug & Chloe/Queen Bee (Season 3)
Not really as into MLB, but... Chloe's still my favourite. They never had a chance together - let's face it - even in season 3 were Chloe was at her most sympathetic & redeemable. But it would be fun to watch the scenario of Chloe being driven nuts by Marintte, but completely admiring Ladybug to excessive points. And also, I enjoy seeing art of that one AU where Chloe getting the miraculous of the cat...

Post-canon Avatar Aang & Prince Zuko

To be honest, I like their bromance better, haha. But anyway. So obviously picturing a 12 y.o with a 16 y.o is weird, so I like to imagine this is the shit they realise and grow into as adults. A certain 'Zuko found the avatar right after his banishment' AU was sweet, too. Anyways, it's not just the personality dynamics, or even the straight-up connected-by-fate stuff that appears in the narrative. It's the extreme depth of their relationship. Platonic or not, I always enjoy seeing these two working together. 

Fun-fact: these guys inspired the rivalrly between my OCs April and Eyn a lot. Especially when I decided to age Eyn down to a teenager (she was originally supposed to be portrayed as an adult).

Tony & Jeff
When playing the game, I didn't think too much of it UNTIL the freakin' end scene when I read Tony's letter to Jeff. Replaying the game, I really saw it. And plus, the fan-art and really make their dynamic enjoyable to watch, where Jeff is calm, aloof and nerdy, and Tony is cheerful, flamboyant and a loyal friend while "hiding" his feelings.

Intriguing - Kamilla & Maizi

Blah, blah, something about toxic yuri here xD Maizi has no care for Kamilla and wants nothing more than her misery. Therefore, it's INTRIGUING XDD

Hot and Sexy:

Reasonable:

Adorable - Marina & Eric

They're Alike - Grace & Jaqui

Blah, blah, more chaotic yuri xD Yeah, their dynamic is more chaotic than toxic, and the tensions between them isn't even all that deep. They just bicker about the dumest crap. Anyways, since they're so alike AND also quite opposites (so same energy, different directions), this calls for a lot of competition. Love it xD 

They're Opposites - Nim & Carmen
These two were literally inspired by Gerda and the Little Robber Gril. Like, COME. ON. Of course, I'd consider pairing these two together, even if maybe not really in canon.

Canon - Ruiski & Aia
AH!

Non-Canon - April & Eyn
Classic rivals-to-lovers trope. In canon, this will likely never happen.
