Hate would be too strong a word, but I don't care for Steve/Tony. Their dynamic in the movie does nothing for me (at least in the shippy sense). Most Loki ships too; idk why, but I'm just not interested if he isn't with Thor. (I like the fucked-up-ness.)

Dean/Castiel. This one partially because I don't like Castiel much in general, so I'm not rushing to ship him with anyone. I also never felt their connection was as strong as fandom made it out to be, so it's a case of 'I just don't feel it'.

Not sure how popular it is in the fandom, but Ed/Winry is one of the few ships I truly can't stand. I tend to not ship Ed with anyone because I can't stand the way Winry is always hitting or punching him.

Edited to add Rumple/Belle. I do sometimes like my ships fucked up, but both the show and fandom don't seem to realize how problematic it can be, and that bothers me. I feel like Belle should move on to someone else. (Maybe Ruby?)

OP

You and I appear to be in the same boat in terms of Dean/Castiel. I mostly stopped with Supernatural after the angels took over the plot, and it's very hard to find fandom works nowadays (especially new stuff) that doesn't have a Dean/Castiel slant to it (or alternatively, a Sam/Garbiel slant), which is frustrating.

(Just FYI, I stopped at season 7.) I feel the show has become a shadow of its former self. Too many characters, too much meta, too much fanservice, and dying means nothing. But like you, once everything started to come back to heaven and angels, my interest started waning. I much preferred the monster of the week stories. The overarching plots are a bit of a mess imo.

I haven't been in the fandom (in a big way) in years, but even then finding stuff that wasn't Dean/Castiel was a problem. And IDEK where Sam/Gabriel came from.

My boyfriend and I just finished marathonning Supernatural up to the end of season 5 (we need to buy the other seasons).

When we finished the last episode, Derek turned to me and went "Do you remember when demons were really rare to find and really tough to fight?"

Then I went "Yeah, now they just shiv demons in the kidneys on their way to the corner store. You know, with one of the bazillion demon-killing knives they've got on them now."

I totally agree with you--I honestly liked Supernatural's monster-of-the-week episodes. They were clever and well-done. Now everything is kind of a clusterfuck. Every damn week it's the apocalypse and there are demons and angels all over the place. There's never a cool take on an urban legend anymore. blah.

And to stay on topic: I SERIOUSLY DON'T UNDERSTAND SAM/DEAN. I don't get it! I don't! @_@

lmao, bazillion demon-killing knives they've got on them now. It's true! I don't mind them being more efficient at killing demons because they've got a lot of practice, but for a show about...well...supernatural elements I think SPN started to take itself too seriously. (And somehow still manages to be too silly at times as well. I'm talking about 'the Winchester gospel' and the meta episodes.)

I think my biggest problem with SPN after the angels made an appearance was that it never entirely felt like a show about Dean and Sam and monsters again (which is the reason I started watching). They had added a whole other set of characters (from a setting I didn't want SPN to go anywhere near, I.E. The Bible) and gave everyone their own back-stories and plot-lines and it just took over the show and turned it into something that felt completely different. So...idk what they're doing now, but I know if they don't ditch the whole heaven and hell thing, I most likely won't watch SPN again until it's over. (And then, mostly for 'closure'.)

And I totally understand why people wouldn't ship Sam/Dean (because there are plenty of incest ships I just don't get either, or that weird me out)...but I do. (Did. Whatever.)

Yeah, I agree. As much as I like Castiel (I think he's funny), it's not just "crazy road trip adventures WITH MONSTERS!" and that's why I liked it to begin with. I like road trip stories and I like monster stories. Perfection! But now it seems like it's aaaaaaaaaaaaall about angels and apocalypses and stuff. @_@

Oh, come on! If media has taught me anything, it's that it's funny (and maybe even sexy) when a woman assaults the man she loves!

Haha, HOW COULD I BE SO BLIND? Thanks for informing me of how silly I was being!

(But seriously, watching the end of that anime was not a pleasant experience for me.)

I'm the same with Steve/Tony; nothing really against it, but I went into the movie expecting to ship it like crazy and it just did nothing for me as a ship.
