Shipping Meme Day Nine

[potentiality_26]

Your least favorite couple:

I feel like this phrasing has a slightly different connotation than, say, "A ship you don't like" or something to that effect, but I still haven't worked out what exactly I think that means.  Also, it's even harder to pull one ship I don't like out of a hat than it is one I do.  So, since it's been on my mind lately: Robin Hood.  I was totally a Guy/Marian shipper, but I understood Robin/Marian.  It's historical, it's sweet... I'd never search for/produce fanworks for it, but I got it.  And then came S3, and no Marian.  And Robin had this thing with this girl the show made up- nowhere in the folklore- Kate.  It was really terrible.  I was watching the show with a friend who was a heavy Robin/Marian shipper, and she hated Robin/Kate even more than I did.  I don't know what they were thinking.

They weren't....whenever they shake shit up like that, it annoys an audience.

So true- it's not even just that she wasn't from the original Robin Hood (I mean, Djaq wasn't, and she was awesome). It was like a perfect storm of things that they had to know exactly no one would want.
