Shipping Meme Day Twenty-Nine
Favorite birds of a feather flock together couple:
Not really my thing, I have to say. Take the Marvel universe, for example. I can see where people are coming from, liking Clint/Natasha or Fitzsimmons, but though I don't dislike those pairings, I don't really ship them either. Even if the two characters I ship are ultimately pretty similar, there has to be some kind of balance between strengths and weaknesses for me to like the pairing. Someone who is outgoing and someone who isn't. Someone who takes everything seriously and someone who is a little more carefree. Clint and Natasha are ultimately pretty different, but they still have a very similar core as characters, and that makes it hard for me to see them. Much is made of Fitz and Simmons basically being one person, and I was pretty floored when the show started to push a romantic plotline for them- at least for Fitz. I thought he liked Skye, for one thing, and his relationship with Simmons seemed very brother/sister-y in the beginning. Also, I do much prefer her with Triplet.
