Worst Pairings Ever IMO.
1. Tony Stark/Iron Man and Pepper Potts
Reason : Not healthy. She's a mouse who pined after him for years. He's a playboy. Not cool.

Oops...I Makorra'd...again. And sort of Masami'd...but 95% Makorra'd.
Well...I really like how this turned out. The love triangle of LOK.
Yeah...
I regret nothing.

I will probably make another Makorra video. I'm not thrilled with how this turned out. Oh well. I also need to make a Kataang video at some point (my #1 OTP <3)

LOK Season 1 Finale Canon
Aaand the endgame canon is Makorra! No surprise there, but I still love the way they ended things between them this season.
I was really happy with how Mako and Asami ended their relationship. It was very mature, not overdone, and thankfully subtle. I liked how Bryke left it like they're still going to be able to be friends. After all, it's not like they dated very long. Thank the spirits Bryke understands this and is/are realistic!
<-- (adorable hug) So Korra ended up with Mako. What sealed the deal for me? What REALLY sealed it? This was right after he saw her go into the Avatar State. AND HE WAS COOL WITH IT. I imagine female Avatars have more complicated love lives, or at least finding a guy who isn't insecure and intimidated by them. He was proud of her and happy for her! And by this point there was 100% honesty about everything. Also, this is also the first time ever when (referring to episode 8) some guy has watched a girl sleep and it actually isn't creepy! There are no sparkling pedophile bloodsuckers here folks! I'll admit, I completely PANICKED for a moment at the end when there was a very distant shot of the air temple and I saw someone get down on one knee. I was too busy tearbending over Aang's appearance to pay much attention at first. I only saw that grayish color coat. I was like "OMG Mako what the **** are you doing?! This is too soon!" And then when they zoomed in I realized (and thanked God) that it was Lin and *drumroll* she was getting her bending restored by Avatar Korra! Avatar Korra. I now have respect for her as the Avatar. I respected her as a character before, but not necessarily as the Avatar. Now that she has connected with her spiritual side, I feel confident that Aang will guide her through her journey as the Avatar.
Now, on a Makorra note : some people had a problem with the fact that Mako rescued Korra from Amon.
GUYS.
DID YOU SEE WHAT HE DID.
DID YOU SEE IT.
*applauds* Flameo, hotman. Flame-ee-o!
By whining that he rescued Korra (don't forget how many times she's looked out for him as well! She's very capable), some fans overlooked the incredible display of character, focus, and power it took for him to overcome Amon's power. He overcame a bloodbender to save her! Even as a feminist, I can NOT and will not deny how impressive that is! The only other person to overcome that powerful of a bloodbender was Aang. Mako's not even the Avatar! Plus, he was terrified. (Curious - does adrenaline affect bending ability)?
He showed a lot of power in this episode. He acted more like a firebender, but I STILL want to see him cut loose. Lose control, SOMETHING. For the brief instant that he did, that lightning was crazy! I want to see some Zuko-style firebending! I feel more confident we will see this from Korra now since she's accessed the Avatar State.
Long story short : I'm extremely impressed with the finale!
Flameo, Bryke. Flame-ee-o!
Season two I want to see :
1. MORE IROH AND BUMI (I'm sorry this is at the top of my list but it is a MUST)
2. More Bolin (he's got the power, he just needs some more traditional training I think. *coughs* Lin *cough* please train the kid)
3. More Avatar State yip yip!
4. More Lin!
5. I want to know more about Mako and Bolin's past. I want a "The Storm" episode for them!
6. The story of Ursa
7. Who is Toph's baby daddy?
8. I want to see MASTERY of the elements like the good ol' days!
9. More Makorra (let's expand on this relationship a bit) and a happy ending for Asami!
10. MORE KORRA. MORE EVERYTHING ABOUT KORRA. I LOVE THIS SHOW. TRAVEL THE WORLD KORRA!

Shipping wars - they are a lot like this.
I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT
That true friends are HIGHLY likely to help, save, or protect their friends.
Friendship means you've got each other's back.
That's what friends are for.
It doesn't mean they're canon.
FACT, people.
(my thoughts on crack shipping)

My reaction to Zutarians (ATLA).
Always loved this painting! I've been looking for it for months but couldn't find it. Finally, I figured out why! The artist speaks Spanish! Everything she does is in Spanish. A lucky guess (or strange memory jog) helped me find it again. Zack and Aerith by nia90 on DeviantArt. Oh why did nobody get a happy ending in Crisis Core?!?! *sniffles*
Hunger Games : Peeta or Gale?
I have only one problem with the Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. That problem, for some unknown reason, is Peeta Mellark. I know I should love him. There's nothing wrong with him after all (until Mockingjay of course), and even then it's not his fault. I don't love him. I barely even like him. I don't get it.
Everyone loves Peeta. While I admit Josh Hutcherson brought a lot more depth and emotion to the character in the film adaptation than how he was originally written, it STILL didn't make me love Peeta. I like Josh Hutcherson, but I still just want to punch Peeta.
"He's so sweet!" "He's magical!" "He's a doll, angel," (insert cheesy noun here). I've read the Hunger Games many times, and I just cannot bring myself to like him. I really have tried. "I'm going to love Peeta," I tell myself while reading. "Give him a chance. He's a sweet kid." And he is, but he's TOO sweet. He's unrealistic. What really turned me off was his moping around "kill-me-save-Katniss" routine. Sure, he liked her. But if he's not man enough to even ATTEMPT to look after himself, I just don't even know. She was always taking care of him too, like he was her child rather than her TV boyfriend/whatever he was. As the series continued, she was STILL taking care of him! STILL! I know she's a hunter and he's a baker's son. But instead of throwing heavy sacks of flour, he could take a handfull of flour and throw it in his opponent's eyes, ninja-style, and do away with them or AT LEAST run. Do SOMETHING Peeta, don't lay around and let Katniss babysit you. Again, though, I've got to give Josh Hutcherson a LOT of credit here. He made a wimpy character a lot more masculine and likeable.
I have ALWAYS felt Katniss and Gale were far more compatible. Not to mention, I really sensed a connection between them not just in the first book, but the second and third as well. It bothered me how she treated him in Mockingjay. It's like she had a problem with him taking charge of his own life and she wanted to be his mother like she was to Peeta. Gale made mistakes, sure. But he was so human, so real, and so there for Katniss when Peeta lost his mind. Gale never tried to kill Katniss, Peeta did. I don't even feel like Katniss and Peeta ever knew each other outside of the arena, whereas I definitely got that she had that kind of relationship with Gale. Collins' treatment of Gale was unfair, especially in the epilogue. It's like she just threw him into some random, unnamed career where he had lots of women drooling over him. That's not Gale. That sounds more like what the Capitol forced Finnick Odair to do and look how that turned out! Gale doesn't seemed to be too concerned with that stuff. I don't doubt he likes the attention, but I hardly think he'd lose himself over it. He was a consistent character that unfortunately did not get enough development. I don't doubt Collins' ability. SHE IS AMAZING. I just wish she would have handled Gale differently. Katniss and Gale are one of my (very) rare non-canon ships. Peeta would have been great with Delly. I probably would have loved Peeta had he ended up with Delly. Perhaps it was his and Katniss's relationship that annoyed me? I may never figure this out...

Shippers are insane...but I love them.
<-- Yes, these are real people. They are my favorite Zack and Aerith (FFVII) cosplayers. She's beautiful and he's handsome, and they portray the characters beautifully. They have literally acted out this scene. Here's a link to more of their cosplays : http://konoe-lifestream.deviantart.com/gallery/32127974
...and their mad video skills.

I think it's important to say that, before this, I've only ever cried in ONE MOVIE. ONE. IN MY WHOLE LIFE. That movie was the 2009 Star Trek, in the very beginning, when George Kirk set the ship on a collision course to save everyone while trying to comfort his wife and learn about his newborn son. That got me. Final Fantasy gets me too. I can't explain it, but it's so good I just...I don't know. I fall in love with all the characters, even if I don't particularly like them, and I connect with them. Zack and Aerith...
Zack...powerful story. Very powerful. And tragic.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uz3St988Wx4&list=PLFFCBD031227B687F&index=191&feature=plpp_video "Love Those Bad Boys"
I LOL so much at that one!
And this :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYoAc8-cgSU&feature=related May I just say I am so glad these films/games are NOT live-action or the characters real? My friend and I had this discussion the other day. Girls would be fighting each other right and left.
Shippers are Insane.
That's pretty much all there is to it. I can barely find tribute videos with ships, and while I don't usually mind it, sometimes it's just annoying. For instance, if I want to find a tribute video for Squall Leonhart, I get 90% "Squall x Rinoa" and 10% "Squall" videos. There's nothing wrong with that. It just means shippers dominate the online world.
Which leads me to non-canon shippings. I don't usually ship what isn't canon. I also don't get into it like fangirls and fanboys do. Maybe it's because I focus more on the story as a whole rather than just the lives of the couple in question. (Note : I don't tend to watch movies or read books with real-world situations. I'm a very realistic person, so I like fantasy, action, and sci-fi to get away from it all). Fandom has its own language in which, fortunately or unfortunately, I am fluent.
They say a picture says a thousand words. In the picture above, that isn't true. In fandom terms, it says TEN thousand words and starts battles among keyboard warriors. There are no safe zones except with your fellow shippers or the multi-shippers, which tend to be on the loosely-interpreted side of a fandom. These two - Cloud Strife and Tifa Lockhart - are a perfect example. Their ship name is Cloti, but there are often absurd debates of whether they're actually together or if he's in love with her dead best friend, Aerith.
Here's my theory, and I'm not going to make it fangirl. It's just how it is. I'll be frank. Since Zack and Aerith (fandom dubbed "Zerith") were together and loved each other, then were both brutally murdered (though at different times and different situations), I hardly think there was even a question. Cloud and Aerith were/are friends, just as he and Zack were/are friends and how all were/are friends with Tifa. Something else to think about is this : do people not even take into consideration how the characters interact with one another? To be extremely straightforward, did nobody notice they sleep in the same room? Every now and then, you can learn these things on your own. -_- Really fandom.
People like this make me laugh. Honestly, I don't mean that in a condescending way. They really do amuse me. They don't seem to think about (to put it bluntly) anything remotely real. Sounds hypocritical, right? Considering how most of my blogs are fiction-related, I can see how it might.
I'm also an aspiring author, so keep that in mind. *Analytical and eccentric.*
I don't mind the shipping vids so much, but PLEASE ease up on the yaoi people! Seriously. Ugh! No, just...no.
