Shipping Meme Day Six

[potentiality_26]

Series that you have many ships in:

The Marvel Cinematic Universe counts as a series, right?  It totally counts as a series.  I have a lot of ships in that.  I like quite a few canon couples (I'm enjoying Skye/Ward messiness on Agents of SHIELD immensely, and I love Pepper/Tony lots) but also a lot of non-canon ones.  I love Clint Barton/Phil Coulson, even though I don't really get where it came from- I mean, they talk to each other for like two seconds in Thor and that's it, right?  (Maybe it's a comics thing.  All I know about the comics I know from fanfiction.)  I love Loki/Thor and Bucky/Steve too, and I also have a fondness for Steve/Tony.  I'll also read Darcy Lewis/most anyone because I love her (but particularly Bruce Banner because it's so perfect).

I don't think Clint/Coulson is suppose to make sense in a fandom-sense. They have personalities that mesh and a plethora of possibilities. Whether or not they talked on screen (in the audience eye-sight) is kind of irrelevant. We know Clint works for Fury. Coulson works for Fury. They have had contact for a while (Tesseract project) and what the audience sees are 'main points' in a tale. I mean, we don't see these guys on coffee-breaks, do we? LOL!!

So they can be shipped, it can make sense, even if we don't see anything on the screen to have that happen. I mean, take my Eleven/Rory obsession - we know they have spent time together. But the story is about Amy and her Raggedy Doctor, not Rory and the Doctor. We see the tiniest of glimpses that they have talked, they have a friendship (even if a tense and odd one) and yet, we never see that on the screen. And I ship them like MAD, omg...

and lookit me rambling like a freak, lol!!

:) I get it. And I think Clint and Phil would be really good together (which is why I read so much fanfiction about them) I just think it's interesting that one of the biggest pairings in this fandom (such that it's sometimes background the same way Pepper/Tony is in fics, like people take it for granted that they have a thing) was generated with almost no on-screen representation.
