I'm surrounded by idiots...

Yukimonda asked J, B, X, and V.

J - Name a fandom you didn’t care/think about until you saw it all over tumblr.

Honestly I have not jumped on a fandom from tumblr yet.  This is mainly because of that whole time issue.  I just do not have the hours in the day that I wish nor the ability to run without sleep sadly.  I admit I am curious about a number of fandoms but until I actually get to seeing things I don’t think it counts.  Most of the fandoms here I also already support.  I’m a very open to things person.  If it stands to logic in a fandom I’m for it.

B - A pairing you initially didn’t consider but someone changed your mind.

I never mentally put Merrill and Carver together until I saw them mentioned on Tumblr.  Maybe it’s because I played a rogue so Carver died or because in Hubby’s play through with a mage he rarely used Carver because “He’s a whining pansy” and went for Merrill himself.  Having seen some of the comments though and gone and read conversations I think they sound plausible and cute.  Plus I have to admit I have a soft spot for the idea of templars and dalish hooking up.  I BLAME YOU THIGH HIGH DALISH! *shakes fist*

X -  3 OTPs from 3 different fandoms

Fenris and Isabela from DA2: These two are just a riot to me.  I know some folks don’t like them for whatever reason but I really don’t care.  There’s affection there and to me it makes a fair chunk of sense considering Fenris really hates slavers and Isabela doesn’t seem to care for them at all either.  To me they stand a high chance of steadying each other, balancing each other out, and encouraging growth and change like a real couple.

Shepard and Garrus from Mass Effect: Now mind you this is not a romantic pairing, it’s a bff pairing.  Garrus and Shepard (at least mine) are like brother and sister from different mothers there.  The pair have been through a lot together and it all makes me think of war buddies in the trenches.  Mind you I can also easily see how that might evolve into more but I prefer them as buddies.  I personally want to see those two sitting on top of a freshly killed Reaper ala Legolas and Gimli after breaking the siege on Minas Tirith.  I can hear Shepard going on about how a husk is twitching because it has his omni blade embedded in it’s nervous system.

Talos and Erida (my sith inquisitor) from The Old Republic: I don’t know if this is a bff pairing or a romantic one because I don’t know all the options Bioware has put in yet.  However watching Talos and Erida squeal like happy school children over Sith history and archeology just makes me giggle and warms the heart a bit…at least before Erida goes zapping the crap out of people or freeing beings of untold power from prisons.  Talos is just a sweet heart and I’m amused that my girl hasn’t crushed it horribly yet.  I mean I know she can be an evil bitch, she does it even when Andronikos is about.  I think it’s because the pirate still hasn’t done anything but talk to her yet…slacker.  Either way those two are most definitely BFF’s if only for their shared love of the creepiness of sith tombs.

V - Are you one of those fans who can’t watch anything without shipping

Nope, I watch Dr. Who, NCIS, and CSI (Vegas and NY) without shipping anyone.  I think it might be due to me not knowing nearly as much about everyone in the shows as I do about the characters in the video games.  I play much more then I watch TV after all.  Though so far working through those series I have not shipped anything, merely been amused at the hints and such writers like to leave about to make people rabid for more.
