"I just have the one sister, Agrippa". Sexy, sexy man.
Yepp, I floved that!
I couldn't agree more. I can't even really put into words why I love the 'cest pairing so much, there's just something complex and compelling about them that I dig.
I think it's the sign of pretty much any awesome ship if the relationship they have is just so intensely complex and captivating that even the most simple stuff about them can feel like fannish porn even if there is no sex in it. And most couples that give the incesty usually have that in spades, simply because they have a lifelong connection, full of power issues, family ties and childhood traumas. It's usually the whole definition of the cesty couples that they must have gone through some effed up stuff together and just got tied together more closely because of it.
I will check out this ship_manifesto and see what I can do. I've been mourning the lost of BtS and the stupidity of SpikeTV again recently as well. *kicks SpikeTV*
Sends double and triple curses to SpikeTV. I get all sad when I go to TWOP and they occasionally have the Mercury commercial banner with Jill/Krista. Whaaaaa! That woman is sooooo beautiful and awesome. It's a crime that that is the only place you can see her anymore.
Errr, ship_manifesto is a community where you can write a short essay to declare your love for a pairing. Usually you have a certain formart, short description of the show, short description of the characters, a bit of the history of the couple, maybe with some evidence and then some fandom links. Currently they have free month where you can post pretty much anything for your couple, no particular format required.
Personally I love going there when I love to wallow in nostalgia over couples I used to love. Batman/Wonder Woman, Kira/DukatMulder/Krycek, various Trek ones.... ah, the memories! There are some gross oversights though. No Xena for example!
Love. (and he was totally staring at her boobs. In fact staring at Alexis's rack was like a motif that episode starting with Betty and ending with Daniel ... it was like cyclical!)
Betty staring at Alexis' boobs was definitely noted and laughed about by me :D
