Can be ships, characters, or a fandom with in a fandom (ie like a particular show that's loved within the sci-fi community or something.)

I'm apparently a bitter anime hipster because I cannot stand AoT or Free! I had fun with KLK in a popcorn flick turn off brain sort of way, but I don't think deserves anywhere near the praise it gets.

Oliver/Felicity. Meh.

+1

I think John and even Walter have had more cute moments with her (although I like Felicity/Walter more in a friendship way)

Sterek
Reigisa (well, it kind of is one of 3.)
RinHaru, MakoHaru (Fandoms. not the ships, the fandom.)
Eren/Levi
Ohmiya

I hate Akemi Homura and HomuMado, and I hated them before ~~it was cool~~ Rebellion.

Ohhh, how come on Homura?

Totally get why you don't like HomuMado, though.

Because I hate the trope where characters whose moral compass revolves around saving one person, at the cost of how ever many other lives, are treated like great romantic heroes doing the right thing. And Homura very much is, in canon and fandom.

I thought it was very romantic, but romance doesn't automatically equate to morals or being healthy god no. That was like, infinitely pedastaling.

It's hard to get into a pair where one half is so goddamn boring, see also: Ymir/Christa

Tbh both Ymir and Christa are so damn boring. Don't care for either of them .

I have a feeling you're talking about Madoka and Christa, but I like both of them. I actually like Ymir and Ymir/Christa because Ymir is similar to Homura in only caring about one other person, but unlike Homura, she and the story know it doesn't make her a wonderful person.

I've been over the Perfect Pure Angel Female Character Who Everyone Thinks is Flawless type for a long time now. Super boring.

But yeah, at least everyone knows Ymir is a shithead, including Ymir. I actually like her.

Christa has way more character development in the manga, and is pretty much a subversion of that trope. (I hope that wasn't a spoiler :/)

I'm all caught up on the manga and I still think she is barely a subversion. "I was just pretending to be nice" is only interesting if what replaces it is interesting and that didn't happen. Christa's actions while pretending were still actions and they overshadow anything she's done since because she hasn't done anything, so her angel persona feels more real than her. Her talk with Eren was the only highlight of her "new" self so far and it just made me like Eren more instead (for being Funny instead of Dumb). But I guess you're right that ultimately she isn't that Pure Girl archtype, but the boring stink remains.

Firefly.

I'm sorry. I just really didn't think it was that good. I was actually pretty okay with it though (if a bit disappointed because the hype really got my hopes up) until I let it slip that I wasn't too huge a fan, and the unbelievable deluge of vitriolic hatred that was spewed at me from that day forward has basically given me a Pavlovian response to even seeing it, and now there's nothing I hate more.

Steve/Tony. Don't even get me started.

Eren/Levi
Just no.

Levi/Hanji(/Hange/however the fuck you write her name nowadays).

Archie/Hornblower

And from way back in my fandom days: 1x2 + 3x4; Ken/Omi+Aya/Yohji and Sanzo/Goku (+GojyoxHakkai) - I always shipped the not-as-popular alternate variations of those pairings.

Are you me? I really dislike 1x2 and 3x4. They're just so damn boring to me especially when compared to the other many pairing combos that Gundam Wing had to offer. Who did you ship?

Also, seconded on Gojyo/Hakkai.

1x3 - they were my main OTP. I didn't mind and sometimes read 2x3 or even 3x5 (That one was very rare, though, as far as I remember) - but I could deal with just about any pairing as long as it wasn't 1x2 and 3x4 X''D

1x3 is pretty great. I've not read much 2x3 or given much thought to the pairing. 3x5 is absolutely fabulous! It is rare, but it does have a few doujins. In fact a doujin anthology of it was released last year and a friend got a hold of it for me. :3

My main OTP is actually 1x5 though and it is super rare. I'm still disappointed that 1x2x5 was the popular threesome in this fandom instead of 1x3x5. The odd numbered pilots go together so well.

Ohh, that's nice - I wasn't aware that doujinshi for that series were still going strong!

Oh, dear, yes, that's a real rarepair.
1x3x5 was great but yeah, so rare... It's a pity - They had great chemistry.

It really is! My friend managed to get it before it sold out on Toranoana. I was hoping to get a second copy and send it to someone to scan, but it was not meant to be. I'm not sure if I'd say it's going strong, but there's a few doujinshi released every year.

Yeah, it really is. I'm pretty sure I've read every fic for it that's in English. :( Wish there was more. Might reread The Arrangement to satisfy my craving.

They really did! Wufei and Trowa in the circus camp, it was just so great. And Trowa and Heero after he self destructed Wing. Ugh, they had so much potential.

Sorry for the ranmbling I've got so many thoughts about this fandom and pairings.
