browncoat2x2: Painting of C-3PO on Tattooine (Kiss Me)

So, one of the hubby's co-workers who works the evening shift was sick yesterday, and the other co-worker who works the evening shift had a special cooking class he really wanted to go to (Christmas Baking) so Todd offered to stay and cover the shift. Sw we ended up working from 7am to 9:15pm, almost two complete shifts, in one day.

As a result - Day Off today!!! Yay! To do with whatever I want! I see tree decoration in my future, maybe some sewing, or more Christmas baking :oD Hell, I might even write, or maybe chat with far away friends. It's sooooo full of possibilities!! :oD

And it's windy as all get out here, again. Did I tell you how the wind blew part of our eavestrough (or gutter, for those who use that term) on Friday night? Well, technically I guess it was Saturday morning, as it was 1am! We still haven't heard back from Sears about getting it fixed. Hrmph.

Anyway, I hope you're all doing well on this middle of the week day.

And, because I have grown horribly, irresponsibly lax in my Firefly thoughts:
Amongst the more common pairings of the Firefly crew in fandom, which do you think is the LEAST believable/in character??

For me I think it's probably Simon/Jayne, or Simon/Mal. I know that the latter at least is extremely popular, but personally I just don't see it. What about you? Any pairing you think is absolutely unbelievable? Reasons why?

Ooh, good question! I think one of the least believable/out of character pairings to me is the River/Jayne thing. I know it's popular and a lot of people see something there, but to me, my response has always just been... Really? Really? 'Cause... I don't see it.

Which is not to say that I have a problem with people who are into that pairing, it's just not my thing.

Have a good day off! Mmm, baking fun.

Congrats on the day off!

Unbelievable ships... wow.. this is so not hard... I will name them by name (and no doubt miss a hundred, but still):

Rayne -- seriously? are you kidding me?

Jayne/Male Character -- sorry, he's not gay. I mean, okay, I guess everyone is probably a little bit bisexual, acordding to Kinsey and whatnot, but Jayne isn't the type who, if we was, would admit it.

Malver -- again, seriously? At least, not in the incarnations I see. It would have to be twenty-years in the future, when Mal stops thinking of River as a kid, for this to be possible. The man holds himself to high standards, folks. He just doesn't think of her that way.

Wash/Anyone but Zoe -- they were happily married. And then he was dead. I gues it works in AU fic, but not in anything trying to take place during cannon.

Simon/Mal -- huh? I can see this before a Jayne/man ship, but... no, they just... no.

Non-cannon pairings that I am secretly growing to like:
Inara/Nandi -- who knows what they did in the past?
Inara/Simon -- the dynamic is starting to interest me
Zoe/Jayne -- but, not in a romantic way so much as "it ends up happening, and might not be for the best" way
Jayne/Helen -- the HoG whore, remember? He brushed her hair! It's sorta cannon, just not quite.

Least believable pairing eh...

I think Simon/River. They had a brother and sister love for each other, I don't see the incest factor. I don't think that's what Joss intended when he wrote the characters and I don't think the actors intended to bring in that dynamic. Also, having a brother, it especially squicks me out :S

Yes, Simon/River squicks me out. Altho I blame whoever directed "Safe" for instigating that, because I still get a little uncomfortable when she feeds him berries.

Mal/Simon - why is this everywhere? Why? And Mal/Jayne, just - how does anyone figure that?

I think that it became sort of the norm to read NC17 fic so then to be more shocking people started getting into slash fic. But now that's sort of the norm hence the incest trend. I dunno, it's all about trying to be different but when everyone's trying to be the same brand of different at the same time it just doesn't work well.

Ooh. Hated ships? Mal/Kaylee and Mal/River for me, definitely. I refuse! 'Cause it is WAY more incestuous than Simon/River, yes, thank you. *nods*
