merricatbChallenge #4
Today's challenge is all about favorite ships! Most of these are Sense8 of course, and I could probably include the cluster itself as one big happy found family but I broke it up and did some specifics.
1) Rajan/Kala/Wolfgang from Sense8. This is my OT3 and I cannot get enough of them. Love triangle? No thanks, give us a triangle in love instead. It's messy but somehow just WORKS, and honestly, it cemented all three of them as fave characters once they got together more than they ever were separately.
2) Wolfgang & Felix from Sense8. My idiot German babiesssssss. They love each other so much. Best Friends FOREVER. I love a loyal bestie, and basically include Felix with all my OT3 fics since he is absolutely part of Wolfgang's life and Wolfgang's relationships. And this gives me a good excuse to use this amazing gifmaevedarcy made for me of my German/Indian quartet clasping hands.
3) Sun/Mun from Sense8. They're named Sun and Moon for heaven's sake, how cute is that? And he loves being kicked in the head by her. What a man.
4) Lito & Wolfgang from Sense8. Before Lito shows up, Wolfgang has had very little interaction with other members of the cluster (apart from Kala obviously, and the orgy). He's about to get himself shot in the face because his pride won't let him lie to save his own stupid life, and Lito shows up and basically gets his permission to intervene and lkjasdfkljadslkjfadsflk;. Then Wolfgang shows up to help Lito win a fight he was very much losing, and later slides in like an angry German fair godmother to protect him again. Lito sees himself as nothing more than a liar, and Wolfgang sees himself as nothing more than a fighter, and that's exactly what they need from each other. GAH it makes me crazy.
5) Lito/Hernando/Dani from Sense8. I love that this relationship went from the beard that wouldn't leave to a family unit that supported each other through everything. A beautiful example of what family can actually mean.
6) Will/Hannibal from Hannibal (NBC). The original Murder Husbands and my first truly toxic ship. It's so good y'all.
7) Eve/Villanelle from Killing Eve. The yuri version of Hannigram with a soundtrack that doesn't sound like dropping a silverware drawer down a flight of stairs.
8) Claudia/Madeleine from Interview with the Vampire. There are so many ships in this series but they're all so bad for each other it was hard to decide, so I went with the one where they're actually great for each other and don't cause nonstop destruction to everyone and everything around them by being in love. Changing the dynamic from mother & daughter in the book to not yet romantic lovers in the series was yet another stroke of genius on the part of the showrunners.
9) The crew of the Revenge from Our Flag Means Death. This show was so much fun. Every couple/throuple/fwb/whatever they had is worth shipping.
10) I'm going to embarrass myself thoroughly with this last one, but I think it says a lot about me that this was the first het ship ship so that's why I'm including it. Full disclaimer, I have not seen this movie since I was a literal child and do not remember much about it, but I'm going off the vibes that appealed to me and still do. April O'Neil/Casey Jones from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles the original 1990 movie. I know. I know. I'm stunned to even be typing that. But here's the thing: Intelligent independent woman/sarcastic badass guy who is actually a wimp IS MY JAM. It's why I loved Buffy/Pike in the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie. It's why I love Lenny/Mace in Strange Days. Make her tough, make him pathetic. I will eat that shit up.
This was so much fun to do post Snowflake Challenge and somehow February is already OVER??? Thank you todreamersdare for putting on this event and giving me something to squee about each week.
