Since it is February 14th...

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! Since as per usual I've got nothing particularly special planned for the day, I could spend this post educating you all about Single's Awareness Day...but I'm not going to be bitter about this holiday, for once. Instead, I am going to spam you all with the Top Five OTP meme that was floating around my friends' page the other week =D. Because these five pairs are fandom's proof to the world that True Love exists XD.

Warning to marycontraire and anyone else who might not want spoilers for Battlestar Galactica Season 4...this entry includes them.

 

5. Eowyn/Faramir, Lord of the Rings


how much do I love this look that they give each other? So much.

When I first read the trilogy, I was spoiled about this pair before I even opened ROTK. And I remember thinking, “…what? Really? How come that sound like its coming out of nowhere??” But then I read “The Steward and the King.” And it totally does NOT come out of nowhere. They’re both so messed up inside at that point, but its oh so sweet. They need each other. And they’re a perfect match.

4. Aragorn/Arwen, Lord of the Rings

Um. Why am I having difficulty describing these two to y’all? Maybe because they’re just so perfect together. Though they’re the unlikeliest ship that ever did sail…as Cairistiona put it the other day, “a romance between a courageous king too long denied his throne and his immortal fiance queen.” You wouldn’t ever think that their love would be able to endure all the hardship it goes through. But it does, and it’s beautiful.

3. Han/Leia, Star Wars

Words cannot describe the love I have for these two characters individually, so once you put them together…omigiggers. I could watch the scenes with them on the Millennium Falcon in ESB until the cows came home. The snark, the verbal sparring, and CAN WE TALK about the chemistry????? Aaaaaaaaagh love. And then in RotJ when Han is so adorably jealous and overprotective and then in the books when they wind up married…=D =D =D.

2. William Adama/Laura Roslin, Battlestar Galactica



Someone care to explain to me how in the midst of all the young hot relationships in Battlestar I ONLY HAD EYES FOR THESE TWO OLDish ONES?!?! Anyone who has been following my Battlestar squeeage will know that I have been waiting for these two to acknowledge their love on screen for SOOOOOOOOOOOO long. THEY ARE SO PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER AND SO FRIGGIN ADORABLE OH MY GOD. Yes, I know that as the President and the Admiral of the fleet they couldn’t keep their relationship anything other than professional. But that didn’t stop me from literally running around the house squealing with glee when she finally told him she loved him in Season 4. And then when they finally slept together. AAAAGH. Really, these two should be my number one OTP. Except…

1. Doctor/Rose, Doctor Who

Nothing, and I repeat, nothing will ever top these two. Because their story has tugged at my heartstrings from day one. And the depth of their love--that it endures despite their epic differences, that they both go to such lengths to save each other, see each other just one last time, is heartbreaking and beautiful and wonderful all at once. And in the more lighthearted moments, can we TALK about how adorable they always are? I know that there are some people who don’t like Rose very much. But even then, how could you not love the dynamic that they have? The banter, the devotion, the amount of chemistry you can put in to a single HANDHOLD?  Love. So much love. Always love.

Ah, that's so sweet! Of course I would have to totally disagree with you and put Aragorn and Arwen at the top of my list, but knowing what a big Doctor and Rose fan you are, I forgive you!

Happy Valentines, Suz.

Hehe! I did hate having to rank these, since with the exception of my Numero Uno they're all about equal in my eyes =D.

Thank you! Happy Valentines Day to you too! *hugs*

Happy Valentines Day to you, too! :D

I have to say you've made me even more curious about Dr. Who now! ;-) The LotR pairs of course would be on the top of my list, too, and I completely agree about Han and Leia! They are so perfect together! :)

Thank you! =)

Bwahahahaha...*cackles evilly* I am doing my job right then! ;-)

Well, you know who'd be at the top of my list. *g* But I'm also a fan of Han/Leia... that's a neat love story. :)

[suzll.livejournal.com]

Hehe, I have a feeling I do know *g*. As I said to Inzilbeth, I felt really bad about ranking all of these guys...they're all so awesome I don't like saying one is more awesome than the other. I do love Han and Leia because it is such an unconventional love story...I love looking at where they are when they first meet and where they are at the end of the movies! =)

Aaaw, thank you!! Yupyup, he got here, the love songs were much appreciated!! <3

p.s. aaaah, I totally should. They are amazing. Even if I will perhaps too often pretend that Christian is Obi-Wan =P.
